1:30 am

Kamanjah

I really need new glasses...I saw pickles, not prickles, lol

1:30 am

flosey

lol, time for new testing Kam

1:31 am

Kamanjah

Have the new script, saving up the $$ - ready to send frames off as soon as I get lenses switched to backups

1:32 am

flosey

great to be able to use same frames

1:33 am

Kamanjah

I'm going back to some older frames I just love - I can't stand the current styles

1:37 am

flosey

handy to have held onto them

1:39 am

Kamanjah

They *were* my backups. Then my main pair broke...have to do some juggling of spare frames I picked up on eBay!

1:41 am

Kamanjah

So once I get the frames in the not so pretty, but same size frames, I can send off for new lenses, boy will that be a relief!

1:41 am

flosey

and quite a saving

1:44 am

Kamanjah

considering what the high quality lenses cost these days, I'm thriled to go back to a look I actually like without extra expense for frames!!! :)

1:44 am

Kamanjah

thrilled

1:48 am

flosey

clever!! would not have occurred to me

1:49 am

Hi and hugs Sprite. I keep comong and going this evening. Other stuff happening. Thanks for the emails.

2:27 am

sprite

you too, and thanks for sharing that amazing vid. *hugs Liz*

2:29 am

Lizlin

Itâ€™s really our favourite place. Everyone we take there loves it. It was pretty windy today though - has been for a few days.

2:29 am

sprite

the wind makes it even more beautiful, I think. The waves and all... so lovely

2:31 am

Lizlin

The beach at the end is brilliant for collecting shells, when the rocks are exposed - which they arenâ€™t always. I never realised how much the coastline changes until I lived here.

2:32 am

sprite

if I ever can manage it, I will come and visit you and I would be so happy if you'd take me there!

2:33 am

Lizlin

As long as you can walk almost a km on a sandy path and steps are no problem, Iâ€™d be soooooo happy to take you.

2:34 am

sprite

hmm... that might be a problem, yes. Should bring my cane... and it would be worth it, just to see that for real :D

2:35 am

Lizlin

Itâ€™s so worth it.

2:36 am

sprite

you live at an amazing place, Liz. Truly wonderful.

2:36 am

Lizlin

We love it and know how lucky we are.

2:37 am

sprite

it is great to get to enjoy it through your photos and vids, and it is also great to see how much you appreciate the beauty of it :)

2:38 am

Lizlin

ðŸ˜Š Need to go now. Good to have caught up. Hugs.

2:38 am

came back and finished - now I can sleep

2:42 am

sprite

hehehe good job flosey! Again, sleep well... and relaxed now that babble is done

2:42 am

flosey

thanks again Sprite, and good night to all

2:50 am

sprite

hm, why isn't 'bicep' a valid word?

2:51 am

worzel

Biceps is the singular and the plural

2:51 am

sprite

just checked... a2z gives 'bicep' as a valid word :) Stupid enable.

2:53 am

worzel

To be fair "biceps" comes as a singular word, it's original meaning being "two headed" so a2z shouldn't really have it as a singular. I would accept it though, it's a stupid situation in this day and age when language evolves so much.

2:55 am

sprite

you are right, and I enjoy knowing how it 'should' be, even when complaining about babble not accepting it.

3:07 am

sprite

wow, it really storms here

3:40 am

12:27 pm

cybernan

Thank goodness it is the civil service that really runs the government!

2:53 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Mo

2:53 pm

mo

I am here for a few more minutes if I can help.

2:54 pm

mo

Hi Zooz nice to see you.

2:54 pm

moolingwa

I need clues for the 18 words I'm missing mo :)

2:54 pm

zoozzoom

Nice to see you too :-)

2:54 pm

moolingwa

I can't tell you though, which ones they are

2:54 pm

zoozzoom

Did you get any of the snow that fell, Mo?

2:54 pm

moolingwa

17 words

2:55 pm

zoozzoom

We missed the snow YaY did get the 80 mph winds last night though!

2:55 pm

moolingwa

that sounds exciting

2:56 pm

zoozzoom

More worried than excited.

2:57 pm

moolingwa

I can imagine

2:58 pm

mo

we had a scattering yesterday.

2:58 pm

zoozzoom

Glad it was not too bad then, Mo :-)

2:59 pm

mo

we have lived here for over twenty years and have had snow about four times .... we are very lucky!!

3:01 pm

zoozzoom

Yes thankfully here also have had not had much snow since i have lived here for twenty years I think I can count around the same as you four or five times and then nnot much thank goodness!

3:01 pm

mo

It must have something to do with the gulf stream!!!

3:02 pm

moolingwa

expect to get about 3-6 inches of snow on Saturday here

3:04 pm

mo

so sorry to hear that mool ... hope it doesn't cause too much trouble for you.

3:05 pm

moolingwa

Don't expect so. Normally doesn't last very long here, the sun melts it, and they do a great job clearing the roads

3:05 pm

moolingwa

Once had almost 3ft of snow when I lived in Pennsylvania, that was a bit tougher to deal with

3:06 pm

zoozzoom

That is a lot of snow!

3:06 pm

moolingwa

over near Buffalo they can get more than that...

3:06 pm

moolingwa

But here in Colorado, it's mostly a couple of inches at a time

3:07 pm

moolingwa

We had one storm with about 10-12 inches last winter, but I was driving the following day, and the roads were fine

3:07 pm

zoozzoom

I think Yellowstone gets a lot each year too.

3:08 pm

moolingwa

I would expect so, it's about 6-8 hours drive north of me

3:08 pm

zoozzoom

Love the look of Yellowstone when I see it in documentary films on TV here.

3:09 pm

moolingwa

was potentially going to go there last winter, but it was too cold

3:09 pm

mo

we live about 30 miles from Sheffield and they have had it pretty bad.

3:10 pm

moolingwa

had my mum and her husband over from Australia, and my 6 year old..so didn't like the idea of spending a lot of time indoors

3:10 pm

zoozzoom

Understandable!

3:10 pm

moolingwa

don't you hate it when you think you found a cool word, only to find it isn't in the dictionary :)

3:10 pm

zoozzoom

Nice to see you put mum and not mom lol

3:11 pm
