hi eveyone and good night Nan, just home from bridge
12:39 am

Well that was disappointing. I was looking forward to getting stuck in to a decent size grid. happy babbling everybody.
1:07 am
flosey
fw and off to bed, good night all
2:01 am
sprite
morning all. Who shrunk our babble?
2:07 am
grannyrose
cooee {{sprite}} hugs and kisses. how was your night?
2:08 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Not too great, honey. How have you been? Did the church thing settle down?
2:15 am
grannyrose
i thought and prayed about the issue and realised the nay-sayers were the people who raised the funds for the 'new' kitchen and entry to the church. i understand how protective they must feel about something they thought would last a lifetime. but the churches needs have changed. we have to cater to children.the narthex now is used for many other things than it was originally planned for.
2:17 am
sprite
great job in getting a better understanding of where they come from. And now they should start understanding that times are a-changing and the church will have to change with them.
2:17 am
grannyrose
so i have settled down. and am much more calm. i feel i can handle anything said with equanimity.
2:17 am
sprite
good job, honey. *hugssssss* I am glad you are feeling more serene.
2:18 am
grannyrose
these people come to the early service at 8am and have left by the time the kids arrive.
2:19 am
sprite
so they may never have witnessed the need for some of the changes. Still, they need to start doing so.
2:20 am
grannyrose
exactly. but we will still push forward. the changes are so necessary.
2:21 am
sprite
at least now you can push with more precision. Acknowledging their investments might help, giving thanks, and pointing out how it may be possible they haven't been in the position to actually see where change is needed, recently.
2:22 am
sprite
just so they can change their minds without losing face, I mean
2:23 am
grannyrose
yes, it is important about this loss of face. kids gloves i think, not the boxing gloves loaded with lead which i originally thought of.
2:24 am
grannyrose
*sigh* kid gloes
2:24 am
grannyrose
oh i give up.
2:24 am
sprite
lololllll it bites, doesn't it, having to don the kid's gloves in stead of the boxing ones. :P
2:30 am
grannyrose
ugh another 34C tomorrow, then 35C, slightly cooler with 26C on friday.
2:30 am

I do not envy you at all. Ugh, way too hot. And humid, no doubt.

9:19 am
tsatch
are there multipliers for points counts or just addition?
9:20 am
EvaNadine
the shortest acceptable word is 4 letters - for that, you just add the points.
for a 5-letter, you double those points.
for a 6-letter you triple them.
and so on...

10:09 pm
Nef
Hi Min; I'm doing okay; just trying to relax a bit now
10:09 pm
Minveryork
no 4/5! I will not give you a clue because it is a fish Nef!
10:11 pm

I have the negative no 4/5, min; is there another?
10:12 pm
Minveryork
Then U have all of the N words Nef.Only 5 N words today
10:15 pm

I'm doing okay; my DH just went through a round of IV steroid infusions; so he's a bit irritable and impulsive; but I think he's doing better now. (I think the plan is for him to get the steroid infusions monthly now
10:23 pm
Nef
I'm sorry you're sick. Do you think you caught it from the kids at school? (Is something "going around" out there?)
10:29 pm
