4:43 am

rubyfoo

My GP prescribed it. I've never had a massage before and it was just 15 minutes, but I feel great!

4:43 am

MollyL

Massage is good for your circulation

4:45 am

rubyfoo

Last week my back was painful but it's better now

4:52 am

rubyfoo

It's amazing that it's possible to have all services at home: blood tests, shots, haircuts, massage, doctor visits and my friends, who reopened their restaurant yesterday, are picking me up for lunch there today.

5:06 am

flosey

it is indeed Ruby - you are very fortunate

5:06 am

flosey

it is indeed Ruby - you are very fortunate

5:36 am

sukee

Still here flosey?

5:48 am

dofith

Is anyone having trouble with the site today?

5:48 am

sukee

Not so far.

5:48 am

doseffing

... other than there's a lot of words again ... no

5:50 am

dofith

Hi sukee and dos, I can get in on my tablet but not my laptop.Weird.

5:51 am

doseffing

... it's usually the other way around . hmmm

5:52 am

dofith

I'm closing down and will try logging in again.

5:52 am

doseffing

... good luck

5:58 am

sukee

Well, down to 194 and nbt, going to make breakfast

5:58 am

doseffing

... good plan

6:01 am

dofith

It worked! All good now. Don't know what that was about; obviously an issue with my laptop and not the site.

6:02 am

doseffing

... if I could explain it I'd be making a whole lot more money as a consultant than I do as a high school substitute teacher ...

6:05 am

dofith

A high school teacher? I was one of those before I retired a few years back. Was going to do relief work after that but never got around to it. Now my registration has lapsed. What is your area?

6:06 am

dofith

pane

6:06 am

dofith

Sorry!

6:06 am

doseffing

... math and computer science are my certifications ... business is my grad school degree

6:08 am

dofith

I'm humanities - History, law politics and some geography. Loved my job. Do you enjoy it?

6:09 am

doseffing

... I'm afraid not any more ... far too many kids who don't care

6:10 am

doseffing

... I'm afraid that I still do it just to have something to do in the morning

6:11 am

dofith

I get that! I took extended long service leave meaning to go back but in the end decided I couldn't continue trying to teach kids who were simply hell bent on sabotaging my lessons.

6:12 am

dofith

Our profession loses so many good people due to these discipline issues.

6:12 am

doseffing

... for me .. they just don't want to be there and are certain that they aren't getting anything worthwhile out of being in school

6:14 am

periwinkle

good morning all. found the at8/9 myself. help with the ae9 or pa9 pls

6:14 am

doseffing

... yeah ... the Ontario College of Teachers loses 5% of teaching grads after their first year ... once upon a time the pace then slowed drastically until about year ten ... but now they still lose about 15% by the end of three years ...

6:15 am

dofith

I guess it's the same in Canada as here - kids now have to stay in the education system through to year 12 unless they have other training e.g., an apprenticeship.

6:16 am

doseffing

ae8/55 9/72 ... builds from ae 4/5 ... which is the British spelling of what we breathe ... compound word with a scientific term ... for a measure of force

6:17 am

dofith

pa 9 - a person who is in hospital the make it an adverb

6:17 am

periwinkle

ty dose

6:17 am

periwinkle

ty dose x2

6:18 am

periwinkle

missing the last 9. stats or clue pls

6:18 am

dofith

I'm missing it too.

6:18 am

doseffing

... except that there isn't a Canadian education system ... there are ten provincial systems ... but they're all structured pretty much the same

6:20 am

doseffing

... I cheated and looked it up ex9/66

6:21 am

dofith

Ditto here - education is a state responsibility not federal. But they're working on increasing common ground.

6:22 am

dofith

Thanks for the ex 9

6:24 am

doseffing

... to have something become larger and then a thing or person which makes it larger and plural

6:29 am

periwinkle

the ex9 builds off of the ex6?

6:30 am

doseffing

... there are two ex6s ... at least ... and there are two possible endings ... it's not the more common one

6:30 am

periwinkle

ty found the right ex6 and got it

6:31 am

doseffing

... excellent news

6:31 am

7:42 am

phaeton

ACK! Keep typing candy

7:49 am

lynxxx

wow - was sure sp7.56 would have been trademarked

7:51 am

doseffing

... I'd guess it's just used too frequently so it got into a dictionary as a generic adjective ... e.g. spandex shorts

7:52 am

doseffing

... as apposed to Spandex shorts

7:53 am

suefrad625

it also says it is short for sp***ometer

7:53 am

suefrad625

who knew?

7:53 am

suefrad625

7:53 am

doseffing

7:54 am

lynxxx

bye Dos

7:57 am

doseffing

... as I signed off it dawned on me that I'd just spelt a word from the grid ... and it wasn't the one you were talking about ... ... must come back to type in your word ... thanks

7:58 am

lynxxx

it was the one I was talking about

7:59 am

doseffing

... I was talking about the material ... you were talking about the Italian bathing suit

7:59 am

lynxxx

I was talking about the stretchy fabric

8:00 am

doseffing

... I thought ... oh well ... must go again ... more luck for all

8:00 am

lynxxx

sue was talking about the bathers

8:02 am

lynxxx

I'm off too - bye all

8:02 am

5:29 pm

lynxxx

Hi Min - lovely to see you

5:29 pm

Trifioso

I hope you have been well?

5:31 pm

Minveryork

Thank you lynxxx and Trifioso. I'm okay. I was here a few nights ago,but it was a ghost town in the chog. I got here too late so I wanted to make sure I got here early today.

5:32 pm

Minveryork

5:32 pm

Trifioso

I read it min, and found two words I was missing - thank you!!!

5:35 pm

Minveryork

It was a an easy fish word,so I am sure you already had it

5:38 pm

Trifioso

I did, yes. I haven't greyed any letters yet. Driving me nutty

5:39 pm

Minveryork

I didn't grey any letters. I gave up after finding 194 words

5:39 pm

Trifioso

oh well done! I just hit halfway and feeling quite smug

5:40 pm

Minveryork

Good for you Trifioso!I hope tomorrow is a smaller puzzle

5:42 pm

MollyL

Hi Min, so good to see you here. How are you doing?

5:43 pm

Minveryork

I'm ok.Not teaching summer school so I am totally bored!

5:43 pm

Minveryork

I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far MollyL. I can't believe it is already August. Summer is going so fast

5:44 pm

MollyL

Summer goes by so much faster than the winter.

5:45 pm

MollyL

Min, are your stories still based in fact? I thought you and your husband had parted ways.

5:48 pm

Minveryork

As bored as I am, it is still whizzing by. Also with as much time as I have I have only been here just a few times this summer.I really wish I could babbler more often. I miss it

5:49 pm

Minveryork

My story is only partially true. I do not have any kids, but I also do not regret it. I am fine not having ra5/10d kids.

5:51 pm

Minveryork

once I wrote a story about liking cats and not dogs. That was not true. I like both cats and dogs.Sometimes they're true and sometimes they aren't. They're usually not true.

5:55 pm

MollyL

Well, I hope things are going well with you and your husband. I know that relationship has been hard on you.

6:00 pm

harpjane

hello, I'm over half way. Think I'll go read Minver's story!

6:13 pm

Minveryork

Hello harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

6:14 pm

Minveryork

MollyL, we went to court again last week.Husband is now fighting to keep the house.He refuses to put it on market

6:15 pm

Minveryork

It sucks not working and being stuck with him all summer

6:15 pm

harpjane

hi minver, I'd doing well , thanks

6:20 pm

rururocks

he is a fool minver

6:21 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid.

6:22 pm

rururocks

very nice to see you minver.. maybe school starting will get you back in a groove and not worrying so much about that loser.

6:22 pm

Minveryork

I think he's totally delusional,but I tell him he's narcisstic

6:23 pm

rururocks

he sounds delusional

6:27 pm

Minveryork

He thinks he deserves a chance to get back up on his feet again and find a job. Hubby think I owe him that chance since I filed when he was sick. Was totally coincidental.

6:28 pm

rururocks

how is he going to pay for a house without a job... this guy needs a reality check.. selling it will make things much cleaner and easier for both of you to restart your lives.

6:28 pm

Minveryork

I did not know he was going to get sick. I filed BEFORE he got sick, but he was not served papers until AFTER he got sick. Plus hubby became sick due to his years of drinking!

6:29 pm

Minveryork

Anyway,I do not want to hog the chog with this nonsense

6:29 pm

rururocks

yep.

6:29 pm

rururocks

I get it

6:29 pm

6:31 pm

Minveryork

harpjane, do not take what you have for granted because sucky husbands suck! I'm glad you have a terrific husband

6:31 pm

rururocks

i had a nice vacation last month and am enjoying my pool here (it's been hot here)

6:32 pm

Minveryork

I say it's good to be friends with someone who has a pool.

6:32 pm

Minveryork

Do not have a pool,but I am friends w/someone who does

6:34 pm

rururocks

I'm really glad i did when i Bought this place
