Pentar?
12:53 am
sprite
not valid, alas. I think there is a word like pentarch or something like that... brain not yet firing on all cylinders here.
12:56 am
rururocks
A pentarch is a five sided McDonalds
12:57 am
sprite
*giggles* Lovely. I looked it up, no pentarch. But pentarchs is valid. If in a grid, that is.
1:00 am
sprite
nm, pentarch would have been valid too. Crosseyed to boot, me.
1:00 am
sprite
1.
a government by five persons.
2.
a governing body of five persons.
3.
a federation of five nations, each under its own government or ruler.
1:01 am
sprite
in case you were interested :D
1:02 am
rururocks
Governing a body of five people sounds like an orgy
1:03 am
sprite
yeah but still pretty organized, with each under its own partner
1:04 am
rururocks
Guy to group. Anyone want to see my arches?
1:05 am
sprite
me, me! All sex of them... errr five.
1:06 am
rururocks
Pentarch sounds mideval to me
1:07 am
sprite
a little later, I think. "From the Greek word pentarchÃÂa, dating back to 1580-90"

2:35 pm
rururocks
I'm now hurrying to finish before the game fails
2:36 pm
hego
But the red boxes have stopped
2:38 pm

Ha!!! If we were in a pub, or my house, instead of cyberspace, I'd make sure everybody had a glass in their hand, and I would sing the Michael Finnegan song!!
2:39 pm

Sounds like a plan
2:43 pm
Soodle
Funny old tradition round these parts.... a month after a person passes away, they have what's called a 'Month's Mind Mass'. My Dad's months mind Mass is tomorrow...dunno if it will help or hinder....

Solved that conflict.
2:50 pm
Soodle
Thank you Ru. My Dad died 2 weeks before his 90th birthday. He lived a long & happy life. I was very close to my Dad. I dread the demise of my mother - our relationship is difficult & I anticipate regrets when she passes.

you'll have to take the \n out of that... this site adds that to long links.

I have a new computer that suggests that I don't use it...security stuff. So I've gone back to lickety and the grid separately. A pain, but so are viruses!
