Struggling, really. It's a difficult grid.

2:40 am

sprite

a bit of fun and a bit of frustration, no doubt

2:54 am

SamanthaJoy

I had to slog to get halfway on this grid, and now I seem to be completely stalled with 96 left. For whatever reason this grid is like pulling teeth to me.

2:54 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day {{{{{{spritey}}}}}}} {{{sam}}}

2:54 am

sprite

some grids are like that! I find the grids with few or no series the toughest.

2:55 am

sprite

2:55 am

SamanthaJoy

Heya rose! It's nice to see the both of you here at the same time.

2:55 am

grannyrose

i have been feeling very tired. i think it must be the third oxycodone CR.

2:56 am

sprite

no doubt, honey. Puts you in a haze of sleepiness. But better than too much pa4.

2:57 am

grannyrose

don is doing very well and being very considerate re how i am feeling at the moment. checking always to make sure i am okay. its such a comfort to have how i am feeling acknowledged.

2:57 am

sprite

about f*%*$ing time, if you ask me ;) But yay for him finally getting it.

grannyrose

3:06 am

grannyrose

3:06 am

sprite

roflollllll

3:07 am

I can picture how that will go... "welcome Fa4! And now that I have you here, there are a few things I'd like to say to you..."

3:07 am

grannyrose

you don't believe me ???? such a shame...

3:07 am

sprite

3:08 am

grannyrose

sprite

3:10 am

grannyrose

3:12 am

sprite

thanks! Didn't have it, now I do. Gosh, can't wait till we can share drinks again. Even though I normally do not drink alcohol, I very much enjoy sharing drinks with you, my friends :D

3:19 am

grannyrose

8:00 am

lil*monkey

8:00 am

BzznBea

Not a great clue, but it worked.

8:01 am

lil*monkey

It was perfect :)

8:01 am

lil*monkey

I need the right bottom corner E word for nbt/nbs

8:02 am

BzznBea

BzznBea

Its early on a Saturday...

8:06 am

lil*monkey

And I slept like crap here on my mom's couch

8:06 am

BzznBea

Visiting DC?

8:07 am

lil*monkey

yup

8:07 am

lil*monkey

We're going to lunch with a friend and also my cousin today, an Indian buffet. Should be yummy!

8:08 am

BzznBea

I have not eaten much Indian food. I need to give it a try.

8:09 am

bichon

Indian food is great if you stay away from Vindaloo

8:09 am

lil*monkey

Its very flavorful, some people are afraid because there are some spicy dishes, but there are plenty of mild dishes too.

8:10 am

bichon

Like tandoori

8:10 am

BzznBea

What is Vindaloo

8:10 am

lil*monkey

We love Tandoori salmon

8:10 am

lil*monkey

It's marinated in yogurt and spices, then roasted in a clay oven.

8:11 am

lil*monkey

Vindaloo is probably the hottest dish I have ever had. My head blew off.

8:11 am

bichon

I'm not sure of what Vindaloo is, but it's damn hot

8:11 am

lil*monkey

It's a fiery spicy hot curry.

8:12 am

lil*monkey

I like Chicken Tika Masala the best.

8:12 am

BzznBea

That would probably be my choice.

8:13 am

bichon

Yup, me too

8:13 am

lil*monkey

I like all the eggplant dishes too.

8:13 am

BzznBea

And lots of naan.

8:13 am

BzznBea

I love eggplant.

8:13 am

lil*monkey

Yummmmmmmmm the naan bread is to die for!

8:14 am

bichon

now I'm salivating

8:14 am

lil*monkey

Well I'll come back later and report on our lunch. It's a buffet so I plan on tasting every dish.

8:14 am

Dorens

My ex husband liked vindaloo. I used to keep a jar of VIndaloo spiced sauce in the refrigerator and would fry up some meat for him in it. Easy to do

8:14 am

BzznBea

We have a lot of eggplant from the garden in the summer.

8:15 am

Dorens

Baingan bharta is such a delicious eggplant dish. Now I want Indian food today too

8:15 am

lil*monkey

Dorens, that the eggplant dish I order frequently. So yummy.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids!

8:15 am

bichon

I want to go to the Indian restaurant tonight

8:15 am

lil*monkey

Everyone come over! We're going to Haandi Indian restaurant in Falls Church, Va.

8:15 am

bichon

hi Scrabs

8:16 am

lil*monkey

Hi Scrabbler!

8:16 am

Scrabbler

8:16 am

lil*monkey

8:16 am

Dorens

Hi scrabbler. Monkey I'll be in Winchester VA tomorrow. too far though and too late

8:16 am

lil*monkey

Aw sorry dorens, come back the weekend before Xmas and I'll be here again then.

8:17 am

Dorens

I'm seeing Meryl Streep and Stephen Colbert tonight! No good Indian food in Newark though

8:17 am

Scrabbler

I love eggplant. My Italian grandma made the best eggplant parmagiana.

8:18 am

mattygroves

8:20 am

BzznBea

Pinned a recipe for baingan bharti. Will give it a shot this summer.

BzznBea

8:23 am

mattygroves

Can I have a nudge, please?

8:24 am

BzznBea

It is from the center I.

8:24 am

BzznBea

Ends with a dot and line plot

8:24 am

mattygroves

I guessed it would be, as it's the only i near an S ;)

8:25 am

mattygroves

Thank you most kindly!

8:26 am

BzznBea

YW.

8:26 am

BzznBea

93 left...off to start my day...

8:27 am

periwinkle

not getting the clue for the is8 hi all

8:30 am

mattygroves

I still don't have any 7sss.... Peri - the second part of the is8 is a type of paper with little squares on it rather than lines

8:30 am

periwinkle

ty matty found it

8:30 am

periwinkle

I have no 7's either

8:32 am

Dorens

i have two of them fa7/44 and pa 7/32

8:32 am

mattygroves

Aaah - should have seen that FA

8:34 am

mattygroves

not seeing the pa though

8:34 am

Dorens

italian, builds off pa 6/21

8:36 am

mattygroves

Aah, don't have the 6/21 dammit

8:36 am

mattygroves

pariana

8:37 am

mattygroves

I have a 6/21...

8:38 am

Dorens

it's here fairly often, sometimes spelled with E as third letter, this time alternative

8:39 am

mattygroves

Ahh - so maybe not building from the 6/21 I have...hang on

8:40 am

lil*monkey

I think it's an Italian word for peasant?

8:40 am

Dorens

yup

8:40 am

mattygroves

found it, thanks to monkeys. Thanks

8:41 am

Dorens

more literally, fellow countryman

8:41 am

lil*monkey

sort of like the Russians say comrade

8:42 am

lil*monkey

What ever happened to My name is Hannah

8:42 am

Dorens

stomach rumbling - time to make some breakfast - enjoy the day!

8:42 am

bichon

I don't think she was what she said she was

8:43 am

lil*monkey

And what did she say she was

8:43 am

periwinkle

she claimed to be a teenager

8:44 am

lil*monkey

There are tons of profiles who say they are a 10-year-old or other (obviously) incorrect age.

8:44 am

bichon

she was always waiting for a bus

8:45 am

MollyL

Hannah said she was a teenager in chat. My profile says I'm 6 because that is how I feel most days.
: D

8:45 am

lil*monkey

Oh I see. That's totally different.

8:47 am

origami

She also suffered from multiple Babble personalities

8:48 am

MollyL

Poor Cos. He pretty much lost it when "Hannah" compared losing her cat to him losing his husband. And yes Origami, "Hannah" did log on as several different people.

8:51 am

mattygroves

I can't keep track of one persona (which is, in fact, my own), let alone that many

8:55 am

rururocks

She blew her cover in the end and was another fake

8:57 am

mattygroves

How did she blow her cover? It sounds all very mysterious ;)

9:01 am

MollyL

It wasn't that mysterious Matty. It was pretty obvious that the "Hannah" person was a fake from the beginning.

9:03 am

rururocks

she created a couple of personalities and they started talking to each other and then she admitted she wasn't a 10 year old girl and said another age.. but it was all BS right from the get go

9:05 am

rururocks

my guess is it was that same group of guys that knew JC and Neil and Fauxmage... they seem to have a fascination with pulling people's legs here

9:08 am

Aloyisius

color me gullible !

9:08 am

phaeton

hello...it could be none of us are who we say we are.

9:08 am

9:09 am

phaeton

Flask1

Hi all.....been following the chat with interest....and yes its so true...that we can be anyone we want on the internet.....personally I don't see the point!

9:14 am

bichon

I guess some people crave attention

9:15 am

welki

hello, all

9:15 am

MLFAN17

third column o?

9:15 am

Flask1

Yes...sad but true bichon

9:15 am

phaeton

A lot of people crave attention. My 23 yr old grandson does silly inane things to get attention from his older siblings

9:16 am

phaeton

mlf...that is the og6

9:16 am

phaeton

oops...that is 13 yr old not 23

9:16 am

9:17 am

well...the 23 yr old is not too much better lol

9:17 am

welki

i can say that i did not appreciate being accused of having an 'alternate' identity

9:17 am

MLFAN17

9:18 am

Scrabbler

We all know that you are a trout, welki.

9:18 am

welki

9:18 am

Aloyisius

9:19 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy, Aloy.

9:20 am

welki

9:20 am

Scrabbler

9:21 am

rururocks

it will be a bit for you to go skiing welki won't it?

9:22 am

Scrabbler

I am going to pull welki on a sled.

9:22 am

MLFAN17

9:23 am

o

9:23 am

Scrabbler

I made $20 and got an order for $30 (which I need to make.) It cost $50 for the space, I bought lunch, and I drove 160 miles round-trip. So, financially negative, but I had fun.

9:23 am

lil*monkey

lol @ ied

9:24 am

doseffing

oo

9:24 am

doseffing

oo

9:24 am

Scrabbler

oo, oo, aa

9:24 am

lil*monkey

Scrabs I wish you better luck at the next one!

9:24 am

doseffing

sorry about that

9:24 am

rururocks

are you guys talking monkey language?

9:24 am

phaeton

ting tang walla bing bang

9:25 am

Scrabbler

This one is 5 miles away, where we do our farmers market from May-Sept, but it is inside the outreach center.

9:25 am

phaeton

huh...forgot a walla in there

9:26 am

phaeton

just following does...;-)

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I need to make holiday items so I bought some tiny ornaments to put on new art.

9:26 am

lil*monkey

Scrabs, if you're interested in traveling to the Norfolk area, check out the Facebook page for the Stockley Gardens art show. You would love it!

9:28 am

Scrabbler

9.5 miles drive but 50K visitors may make it worthwhile.

9:29 am

welki

i can imagine the pieces you might make for this show - little evergreens with those ornaments on them - perfect!

9:29 am

Scrabbler

I need to become very productive soon, but this hypothyroidism issue has me wanting to sleep a lot.

9:30 am

Scrabbler

I must resist going back to bed.

9:30 am

welki

you're on synthroid? might take a while for you to find the perfect dose

9:30 am

welki

(and this time of year, with lack of daylight, makes us tired in general)

9:30 am

Scrabbler

I just increased to 100 mcg yesterday and I suspect I will end up on 150-200

9:31 am

Flask1

is8/60...clue please?

9:31 am

welki

lemme think - who's the babbler who keeps reminding me about "baby steps?" *points at scrabbler*

9:33 am

Scrabbler

This process is so slow--bloodwork every 4-6 wks, increase the dose, more bloodwork, etc. I am working hard at the YMCA though and have lost 2 of the many lbs I gained over the summer.

9:33 am

phaeton

flask...ends with a paper with little squares

9:33 am

Scrabbler

Flask--a previous clue given was confusing to me, so I cannot help

9:34 am

Scrabbler

TY, phaeton. Some clues make sense to others, some clues make sense to the cluer only.

9:34 am

welki

i can't wait to get out and move - just taking a walk around the block would be a treat. i'm getting there, though - i get tired, but can do a little more every day

9:34 am

phaeton

yw scrabs

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Excellent.

9:35 am

welki

by the time i can walk 'normally,' i'll be ready to retire, mentally and physically

9:36 am

welki

(at least, that's my plan)

9:36 am

Scrabbler

I am mentally ready to retire, but no financially.

9:36 am

Flask1

thanks Scrabbler and phae....

9:36 am

Scrabbler

* not

9:37 am

welki

*shrug* it is what it is, i'll get by

9:37 am

rururocks

I'm looking forward to really cutting back in two years

9:37 am

Scrabbler

We must keep moving forward.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Well, I finally passed halfway. I must get to work on art.

9:38 am

welki

unless someone has diligently put all their dough into funding their retirement, and not into helping family members and paying off med school, mortgage and regular bills, the idea of retirement is daunting to many

9:39 am

welki

enjoy the productivity, scrabs - and the skiing, too, if you get out in the white stuff

9:40 am

rururocks

<gets the helping family members

9:40 am

welki

yeah, me too. if i could only have that money in my bank account....

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Good summary, welki. I gave lots of money away to family members over the last 30 years. It will never be repaid but that is ok.

9:42 am

Flask1

I got the is8 guys! And am not telling anybody what it is.....ESPECIALLY ru!!...lol

9:43 am

BzznBea

Good on you, Flask!

Hi Nan. My day's just beginning here. Hope you've had a lovely day out.

6:05 pm

Did you find anything interesting?

A shame, but at least it sounds like you had a fun day.

6:08 pm

It took me a while, which is stupid because I'd just got the past tense of the word.

6:09 pm

hurshy

jane austen spelt it with a u

6:09 pm

hurshy

that was before spelling became standardized

6:09 pm

cybernan

poor tom is getting hung again today

6:09 pm

Lizlin

Not so standardised now, when you look at what I just wrote and what you wrote! US / UK differences!

6:11 pm

hurshy

still, it's way more standardized than it WAS. like, for instance, when you research people in England during the Tudor period or earlier, people's NAMES don't even have just one spelling. they would get written down all sorts of different ways and nobody seemed to think anything of it.

6:11 pm

cybernan

we did have a good day, liz

6:11 pm

Lizlin

Good to hear, nan.
