3:18 am

good morning all

3:19 am

mattygroves

Morning Sprite!

3:19 am

mattygroves

Morning Ruby

3:19 am

sprite

hiya matty! *hugs* How are you doing?

3:20 am

mattygroves

I'm good! Just drinking cuppa number two and trying to convince myself it's 9.20, not 8.20 :) How are you doing?

3:21 am

sprite

same. Not liking DLS and had a bad night to boot. Hoping for a cuppa from my beloved, lol.

3:21 am

mattygroves

Mine is with his senile mum at the moment in the midlands - back this evening, so I had to fetch my own coffee. Bit of a bummer, living in a townhouse sometimes - down and up three flights of stairs ;)

3:22 am

sprite

so very true. I am looking forward to the time when my beloved and I will have managed to downsize our life. No stairs for sure!

3:23 am

mattygroves

Our house isn't huge - but it's tall and thin, like Isengard.

3:24 am

sprite

great view from the attic then, lololllll

3:24 am

mattygroves

It's not too bad - we have a small back garden and then we overlook a primary school playground which is quite pretty

3:24 am

flosey

good morning Sprite, I didn't see you come in

3:25 am

sprite

aw nice. Loud, but nice and lively.

3:25 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* good evening dear lady, I hope you are well?

3:25 am

mattygroves

True, but mostly I'm at work when the kids are in school. Hi Flosey]

3:25 am

flosey

well, but very tired, trying to finish up but don't think I will

3:26 am

flosey

struggling with the au8, any clues???

3:27 am

sprite

some kind of government I think

3:28 am

sprite

it means absolute sovereignty

3:29 am

mattygroves

I'd normally go for autocratic for that, but it's clearly not that

3:30 am

sprite

actually it is, but another word for it. au + black sticky stuff for starters

3:31 am

mattygroves

Got it, thanks!

3:31 am

mattygroves

nate

3:31 am

mattygroves

oops

3:32 am

flosey

aha, thanks Sprite - I'd never have found it

3:32 am

sprite

that one only works in plural, for some reason

3:32 am

sprite

yvw, both of you

3:33 am

mattygroves

May I have stats, please, for the G in the bottom row?

3:33 am

sprite

gh4/7

3:34 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

3:34 am

flosey

and with that, I think I'll leave the last 11 for tomorrow, very tired and head is spinning, BEDTIME!!!

3:34 am

flosey

good night all

3:34 am

sprite

nps! You just happen to ask things I just found, lol

3:34 am

flosey

and have a lovely day Sprite

3:34 am

sprite

night flosey, sleep well *hugs*

3:34 am

mattygroves

Sleep well!

3:35 am

flosey

ty ty

3:35 am

sprite

aw, no coffee just yet, my beloved is first gonna walk the dog. First things first :)

3:36 am

mattygroves

Awww! I have an American style drip coffee maker so I can set it the night before and it comes on at the time I set. So it's just as well I remembered the clocks changing!

3:36 am

mattygroves

Sadly, I don't have a robot on a timer who can deliver the coffee to me

3:37 am

sprite

I take my coffee with foamed milk, lots of it, for the necessary proteins.

3:38 am

sprite

so cannot prepare it the night before, grin.

3:38 am

mattygroves

I do warm the milk in the microwave as otherwise it's too cold, but I don't foam and I don't use much so all is good :) It's also pretty good coffee - it works for me, anyway

3:41 am

sprite

normally I am up a lot earlier than this. But it was 6 am before I slept, so I stayed in bed a little longer. And then with the DLS, it is actually late already!

3:43 am

mattygroves

I'm...not up yet. I've been downstairs twice for coffee (and had a smoke the second time) but am still now in bed. I shall get up soon, shower, do a bit of a groom (as Jeff's back this evening), tidy up the kitchen etc. Soon. Honest. It'll be soon. Truly.

3:45 am

sprite

roflolllll oh I believe you will. Eventually ;)
I am half dressed. Well, fully dressed but half of it is pyjama top and morning coat. Am clean. Good enough for now.

3:47 am

mattygroves

That works ;) I'm finding today's grid a bit of a slog - I may have a quick look at the NY Times crossword, finish my coffee, and get up. Really. Honest, guv!

3:48 am

sprite

sounds good to me. The grid is not really flowing for me either. I am gonna finish, then dress further. Hopefully coffee first though!

3:49 am

sprite

not many series in the grid, I guess, that always makes for slower babbling

3:50 am

mattygroves

I doubt I shall finish today - when it's a real slog, it's a chore and I don't need that in my life. But, you never know! Stranger things have happened (usually because I've caused them)

3:51 am

sprite

lol! I am an addict. I enjoy every grid, no matter how big or small or easy or tough.

3:54 am

mattygroves

I can't really look at it on weekdays anyway. Thing is, when I first started playing, I completed every grid, no matter what - and I then stopped all together as it was a chore and was taking up work time. So now I'm more relaxed about it. And I'm not as clever as some of you guys!

3:55 am

mattygroves

I don't like having to ask for hints too often (otherwise, why bother - if I'm asking for hints for every other word I might as well just ask you to do it for me) but sometimes it's just too weird

3:55 am

mattygroves

I only have 2 6s, 3 7s and 2 8s at the moment.

3:56 am

sprite

as soon as it becomes a chore, it is time to change thing. It is fun, no work :) And you are plenty clever. Just less experienced. 13+ years here!

3:56 am

mattygroves

I've been around a while, actually (though perhaps not 13 years) - hang on, I'll have a look...

3:57 am

mattygroves

Member since: March 8, 2006 - that's me. So yeah, a while...

3:57 am

mattygroves

Though I did have an extended break

3:57 am

sprite

hehehe, two years later than me. Still, another hardcore babbler!

3:59 am

mattygroves

The one thing that makes it trickier for me these days is I'm on a Mac now, so can't use expert. Therefore I only go to the list if I really want to finish or am desperate

4:00 am

mattygroves

I don't know, though, if I've ever finished without using the list at some point

4:01 am

sprite

I used to never use any list. But nowadays, I am easier and I check the list for my last few. Saves me at least an hour a day, lol.

4:03 am

mattygroves

We've both become more relaxed in 10+ years then ;)

4:03 am

sprite

ac8 and ya7 are my new words learned for today :)

4:04 am

sprite

I thought ya7 was called a scimitar. Guess they differ enough for knowledgeable people to give them different names.

4:04 am

mattygroves

Now that you mention it...can you give me wee tiny nudges ;)?

4:05 am

sprite

ac8 = to convert iron to steel

4:06 am

sprite

ya7: ya + you can *** along, I don't mind + **chovy.

4:06 am

mattygroves

Yeah, never heard of that YA. Thanks!

4:07 am

sprite

yvw! Fireflies for me, so time to get dressed properly. Have a lovely day, matty, and a happy reunion with your beloved tonight. *hugs*

4:08 am

sprite

*leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
And to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:08 am

mattygroves

Have a lovely day - hugs to you too!

5:08 am

rubyfoo

Good morning. Still cold in the morning but yesterday was actually warm in the afternoon.

5:09 am

rubyfoo

20 daffs (or are they jonquils?) have opened since and the bottom garden is full of pale wild primroises

5:09 am

MollyL

Glad to hear it is warming up. I can't believe Easter is a week away. It doesn't feel like it.

5:10 am

rubyfoo

Did you get snow with the latest nor'easter, Molly?

5:10 am

rubyfoo

My sister got 10"

5:11 am

MollyL

Yes we got snow. And about 20 minutes from here and north of that got as much as your sister. Freaky beginning to Spring.

5:13 am

rubyfoo

l'm surprised at how many plants in pots survived outside

5:15 am

MollyL

I pulled all my patio stuff in the Fall. I'm going to try some different things this Spring.

5:17 am

rubyfoo

The geraniums gor into the garage and many survive. lf they're small, l put them in a border. ln mid-April, l'll buy tomato plants for the big planters of the deck

5:18 am

rubyfoo

on the deck*

5:19 am

rubyfoo

l can't use the potager any more because it's down below and the steps are too dangerous for me alone

5:20 am

rubyfoo

As for the fruit, friends will help me pick and,carry

5:26 am

MollyL

Too bad you can't get someone to build you a ramp so you could get to your garden

5:28 am

rubyfoo

Next to the steps there is a "natural ramp" of grass, but l'm pretty weak & tippy & l only bother if there's somebody here to help

5:29 am

rubyfoo

l do stairs all day, but there are handholds or walls to keep me upright

5:29 am

rubyfoo

Tending plants on the deck is good enough

5:32 am

MollyL

The ramp attachments that get built for elders have handrails and are graduated, if it is steep. But if you don't care to have access to the garden, no big deal.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

There's plenty of accessible garden as the house is built on a relatively steep hillside, so it's on various levels

5:34 am

rubyfoo

lt's starting to green up now & l'm happy

5:35 am

MollyL

Green is always a welcome sight after a tough winter.

5:41 am

rubyfoo

Bye. See you later.

7:44 am

rubyfoo

Last night, there was a non-member asking bzzn about "that Young girl Hannah" (and he had her whole name. Very creepy

7:45 am

MollyL

Attention getting devices are usually creepy. I think this site has gotten a reputation for believing in fake posters.

7:46 am

rubyfoo

ldon't think such an overly friendly Young girl belongs in here and shouldn't be encouraged

7:46 am

bichon

Remember Nancy boy?

7:47 am

MollyL

Sadly, there are still people who believe that Nancy Boy was real.

7:47 am

rubyfoo

Was he real or a troll who morphed into someone else?

7:47 am

bichon

Didn't people send him money

7:47 am

MLFAN17

hello all

7:48 am

MollyL

There were a whole group of fake posters at one time. JC was the ringleader.

7:49 am

phaeton

hello...who was the one asking for money?

7:49 am

bichon

Don't remember JC. Refresh my memory, pls

7:49 am

rubyfoo

l remember it but only vaguely, but not that people sentmoney.....

7:49 am

MollyL

I don't know if people sent Nancy Boy money. People sent money to Mr. P at one time, and it was taken by the person (or people) collecting it.

7:49 am

rubyfoo

Hi MLFAN

7:49 am

bichon

Who was Mr. P?

7:49 am

MLFAN17

molly, what was the full screen name for jc I am pretty sure I was here for that name I do recall some were pretending to be other people

7:50 am

MLFAN17

hi ruby

7:51 am

MollyL

It was just JC. He was supposed to be Julian Clary, a British comedian. But someone disproved that.

7:51 am

MLFAN17

never heard of that comedian

7:51 am

MollyL

Mr. P is Mr. President, wife of Lickety.

7:51 am

MLFAN17

Totally blanked on that one

7:51 am

MollyL

7:52 am

bichon

7:52 am
