12:20 am

hurshy

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:21 am

Pinikula

It does, hurshy...it's a pink vampire bunny! :)

12:21 am

dcseain

ty, lickety

12:21 am

Pinikula

thx lickety

12:21 am

hurshy

gotcha

12:22 am

Pinikula

There's actually a story behind how it came about.

12:22 am

hurshy

do tell

12:23 am

Pinikula

The short and sweet version is...a long, long time ago, a friend with the handle "Bunnicula" passed away. The rest of our group decided to incorporate his handle into our own in memorium. My former handle was Pink Lady. So, Pink Lady + Bunnicula = Pinikula. :)

12:24 am

hurshy

were these people all babblers, or was this elsewhere in cyberspace

12:24 am

Pinikula

...I've had this handle for over 20 years now. :)

12:24 am

hurshy

good golly have we really had the internet for 20 years? lol

12:25 am

Pinikula

Elsewhere in cyberspace, Hurshy...when "chat lines" were popular.

12:25 am

Pinikula

Oh, we've had it longer than that, hurshy...

12:25 am

hurshy

i kind of miss pre-internet life

12:25 am

cybernan

more like 30 years or more

12:25 am

Pinikula

...I started "chatting" online when BBS just came out; spent some time in IRC and mIRC, too.

12:26 am

Pinikula

There are time I do, too, nan. But now that the kids are grown, it's nice to be able to chat without "entertaining" all the time. Besides, the dog doesn't speak in a language I understand - so conversations with him are moot. :)

12:27 am

cybernan

not seeing anything for that top i

12:27 am

Pinikula

(me either, nan)

12:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Keep scratching at it, y'all. It'll come.

12:27 am

hurshy

i guess but... i read a lot more when there was no internet. i know there's nothing forcing me to be online, i could choose to read... but somehow i don't.

12:27 am

movieman

it4= what you scratch

12:27 am

Pinikula

thx sam!!!!

12:28 am

cybernan

ty -- that combo keeps eluding me

12:30 am

Pinikula

I totaly get it, hurshy. I could jump off and read...but sometimes short bursts of internet "connection" (reading about others are doing or engaging in chats) are hard to resist.

12:30 am

hurshy

yeah. but i remember loving being wrapped up in a book all day, losing all track of time...

12:32 am

Pinikula

I remember those days. I do that now sometimes with an audio book (I can do do things like handcrafts [like crocheting] or take longer walks).

12:32 am

cybernan

good night everyone -- will be later tomorrow before I get back. See you tomorrow night.

12:32 am

Pinikula

hi -- anyone here?

2:24 pm

mo

hi cybernan â€¦. I am but was just going to log off. How are you and do you need any help?

2:24 pm

cybernan

no thanks, mo -- have a ways to go yet and just about to list. hagd

2:25 pm

cybernan

guess it's evening where you are!

2:26 pm

mo

ok. yes it is 8-35 here.

2:27 pm

cybernan

yes - 8 hours difference between us

2:27 pm

mo

sorry!! 8-27.

2:28 pm

cybernan

just looked at your profile -- we have spent some time in Yorkshire -- rented a self-catering for a week and had a lot of fun travelling around the countryside.

2:30 pm

mo

Glad you enjoyed it â€¦ where were you staying?

2:32 pm

cybernan

we had an apartment above a laundromat just outside the wall in York.

2:34 pm

cybernan

It was our first experience getting an "upgrade" from the car rental --- never again. They gave us a huge Volvo -- lovely car, but way to big for manouvering around all the narrow streets getting to our apartment and for the narrow little lanes in Yorkshire.

2:34 pm

mo

oh yes. The area round York is lovely. I was born further south not far from industrial Sheffield.

2:36 pm

mo

I understand your problem :-)

2:36 pm

cybernan

It was our favourite type of holiday in Europe -- rent a place for a week and head out each morning in whichever direction the sun is shining. We're not much for huge cities.

2:37 pm

cybernan

We've done the same thing in the South of England, Scotland, France and Italy.

2:37 pm

mo

I am with you too I hate cities, we were glad to get away and into the countryside.

2:39 pm

cybernan

We live in a town of about 100,000 - it can stop growing any time now!

2:40 pm

mo

You are well travelled â€¦ we have only been to France and Italy.

2:41 pm

cybernan

we just really enjoyed europe -- doubt that we'll get back again, though -- getting too old for that kind of travel now.

2:43 pm

cybernan

we also took some river cruises, but I think even that would be too much -- it is the 9 hour flight (plus airport time) that is the killer.

2:43 pm

mo

Canada seems a beautiful country and so big!

2:44 pm

cybernan

Yes - it is beautiful, but lots of variety when it comes to landscape. I prefer the Rockies, but then I am somewhat prejudices :)

2:44 pm

mo

I do not think I could cope with that journey either.

2:45 pm

cybernan

*prejudiced

2:47 pm

mo

well its been lovely chatting to you but I really must be going now â€¦.. hope to see you soon and good luck with this grid.

2:48 pm

cybernan

thanks -- almost done now - bye

2:48 pm
