Hi Sprite!

*hugs Kam* Good evening, dear one. How are you and your beloved doing today?
1:40 am
Kamanjah
OK! How are you holding up?
1:42 am
sprite
meeting with the realtor went really well, not as much things to fix as I thought, and he even did the taxation already. Asking price is okay, and he expects people will offer more once the bidding starts.
1:42 am
Kamanjah
Well, that sounds like good news! Your housing market must be pretty strong.
1:43 am
sprite
we were correct about it being a seller's market atm here, yes.
1:43 am
Kamanjah
Then your timing is good!
1:45 am
sprite
that is why we wanted to do it now, to make use of the good market. Might be all different in a half year. Or sooner, if Trump keeps on saying stupid stuff. Realtor said the effects of Trump's antics can be seen straight away on the dow jones etc.
1:46 am
Kamanjah
I am still in awe of our stock market staying strong. I'm thinking of cashing out and holding before our politics ruin it, can't decide.
1:47 am

it is scary stuff

1:48 am

am trying to not to follow it all. I think I wouldn't sleep at all anymore if I did, lol, and sleep is elusive as it is.
1:49 am
Kamanjah
I have friends who are a bit older than we are who put everything into cash about 4 months ago. I'm keeping my eye on things - at least they built in a stop point after the huge crash (forgot year). But I was young enough to recover. Then.
1:50 am
sprite
2001 maybe, when 9/11 happened?
1:52 am
Kamanjah
around then. I was actively playing the market just after it happened, and hit a couple of homeruns. Would hate to see that sink...
1:55 am

hard to know what to do at the moment
1:59 am
Kamanjah
Yes, it is. I'm just looking forward to cooler weather - 98 again today and we have at least 3 new fires in Calif alone. I want rain!
2:00 am

you can have some of ours, lol. It's been raining like mad. Sorry about the new fires :(

I don't have the TE8, though

11:23 am
periwinkle
the te8 is pl of a te6 according to chat log
11:24 am
periwinkle
but I do not have a te6
11:24 am
mattygroves
When you hold something against someone, like a grudge, perhaps, or feel not happy for someone's accomplishment, but rather you're re9 of it. Alternatively, to have been posting a letter again
11:24 am
mkg
i dont have te 6 either
11:24 am
mattygroves
The SE8 rhymes with what babies do when their molars are coming in.
11:24 am
periwinkle
tyty matty
11:25 am
mkg
i have a te 6 that is opposite of relaxed.
11:25 am
mkg
and two forms of that word
11:25 am
periwinkle
I have those too mkg
11:25 am
mattygroves
Yep, I have that word, to be more that, to be many of that, and to actually do that.
11:26 am
mattygroves
OK - I have the TE8 now. It's the plural of word that looks like it's already plural
11:26 am
periwinkle
matty is that a clue for the te6/8?
11:27 am
mkg
i have a te 7 with gerund ending. but dont see an 8.
11:27 am
mattygroves
The te5 ends in a vowel, the te6 looks like a plural (as in it ends with the plural letter) - now make that plural a plural, as it were
11:27 am
periwinkle
ah ty again Matty
11:27 am
mkg
got another te 7, the most
11:28 am
mkg
but i dont get an 8 still.
11:28 am
mattygroves
The 8 extends the te5 and the te6 - nothing to do with sore muscles - extend the te5 that ends in a vowel
11:29 am
mattygroves
A pronounced vowel, that is
11:29 am
mattygroves
Two vowels, in fact
11:30 am
mkg
we are talking about the te 5 10 that is opp of relaxed right?
11:31 am
mkg
i think i have wrong te that i am working from. my te has an s as fourth letter and this cant be pluraled twice.
11:32 am
mattygroves
No. Not that te.
11:33 am
pbr
doing the firework celebration!
11:33 am
mattygroves
Starts with the same first three letters, ends in two vowels. Then plural that. Then plural THAT word
