Weâ€™re well thanks. Busy. Guests arrive tomorrow for a week. ðŸ˜Š

1:49 am

hurshy

so, i was away for a week visiting my sister

1:49 am

grannyrose

but.... all the dishes from christmas and boxing day washed, dried and put away.washing for those days also done.

1:50 am

sprite

hursh, no, I like to play the grid first without knowing the biggies. That is why I moved my playtime from fliptime to an hour or an hour and a half later.

1:50 am

sprite

poor rose. Counting down now though...

1:50 am

hurshy

i get home and the cats are like... oh. you used to live here or something, right?

1:50 am

hurshy

but finally rilla remembered how much she likes me

1:50 am

sprite

did you have a good stay with your sister, hursh?

1:50 am

hurshy

yeah

1:51 am

sprite

roflol oh yes, that is cats for you... "yeah I seem to remember you... you used to be my human once, right?"

1:51 am

grannyrose

lolll re the cats, hurshy. so typical. glad you had some good time with your sister

1:52 am

hurshy

but now she is firmly ensconced on my lap

1:52 am

hurshy

i'm finding G the hardest letter tonight

1:52 am

grannyrose

at least it's not your lapTOP, right?

1:52 am

sprite

that is good. Nothing like a pet in the lap to make us feel better

1:53 am

hurshy

yeah, trying to steal the keyboard cover from my laptop is her one vice

1:53 am

hurshy

she is otherwise an angel baby

1:53 am

sprite

lol rose

1:53 am

grannyrose

too hot me..... i'd have the fan blowing right on the cat/dog....

1:54 am

sprite

I could do with a warmer lap right now. So cold here atm.

1:55 am

grannyrose

coming right over sprite.... you didn't want to see the screen too, did you?

1:55 am

hurshy

"geesh!" she said, "it doesn't take 'geesh'!"

1:55 am

sprite

if I can see you instead? Of course not.

1:55 am

sprite

stupid enable, hursh

1:56 am

grannyrose

you'd be looking at the back of my front....

1:56 am

sprite

only ever heard in babble:
phantom: atlatl

1:56 am

hurshy

yes that one i also had

1:56 am

hurshy

oh speaking of which, today i played CWM in lexulous

1:56 am

grannyrose

oh sprite, ifyou only had seen how many times i tried to find that

1:57 am

sprite

any part of you would be fine to look at, rose. welllll almost every part

1:57 am

sprite

woweeeee hursh!

1:57 am

grannyrose

roflollll....

1:57 am

hurshy

how can something be desultory if desult isn't a word

1:57 am

sprite

true, true

1:57 am

grannyrose

how many points did that get you hurshy?

1:58 am

Lizlin

I tried result too!

1:58 am

sprite

in works though

1:58 am

Lizlin

Desult

1:59 am

hurshy

well, the W made "hom" into "whom" and the M made "any" into "many", so i got 47 altogether

1:59 am

sprite

that is one brilliant play, hursh

1:59 am

grannyrose

omg.... hurshy.... brilliant

1:59 am

grannyrose

or what sprite said... loll

1:59 am

Lizlin

Good score Hurshy

1:59 am

sprite

:D

1:59 am

hurshy

thank you, thank you. and i owe it all to babble

2:00 am

sprite

and to your own brilliant mind of course

2:00 am

hurshy

"geesh!" she said again, "i better get to bed!"

2:01 am

sprite

sleep well, hursh, and sweet dreams *hug*

2:01 am

Lizlin

Next you need crwth!

2:01 am

grannyrose

hope you have the sweetest of dreams hurshy.

2:01 am

hurshy

i would have done crwth if i had had an H

2:01 am

grannyrose

por what sprite said... loll

2:01 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Hurshy

2:01 am

grannyrose

i'll just shut up now, sprite can talk for the both of us...

2:02 am

sprite

:D

2:02 am

sprite

phantoms: road, toad and sensual

2:03 am

sprite

get back here, rose, and talk. Not fair to make me do all the work.

2:04 am

sprite

the gerund ending seems to be disappointing today

2:04 am

Lizlin

True. Iâ€™ve only used it once.

2:05 am

grannyrose

yeah, it was a pity.

2:05 am

sprite

same here so far, only one

2:05 am

grannyrose

but those three letters in a different order DO get a good work out.

2:06 am

sprite

yeah

2:06 am

Lizlin

Also true ðŸ˜Š

2:06 am

Kamanjah

looking thru my list, I've used it several times, but I think I used it up...

2:07 am

sprite

I used it several times too, but only once as a gerund

2:07 am

Lizlin

Make that twice now!

2:07 am

sprite

yay Liz!

2:08 am

Lizlin

Ha ha!

2:08 am

sprite

;)

2:08 am

grannyrose

seven (i think) words with that particular run in the midst of the words. and there are three words with a gerund end, one a plural

2:09 am

grannyrose

oh, another 5 with that run in the midst of other letters.

2:09 am

sprite

hah, that gave me the one with the plural, and another one

2:09 am

grannyrose

have i managed to confuse everyone, yet?

2:10 am

Kamanjah

I'm going crosseyed, but at least what Rose listed as a gerund.

2:10 am

sprite

not me, but I am used to living in your brain

2:10 am

Lizlin

4 now

2:10 am

Kamanjah

plus plural

2:10 am

sprite

4 including the plural

2:10 am

Lizlin

5

2:10 am

sprite

darn, still one behind :D

2:10 am

grannyrose

of course lizgirl, 5 with two plurals

2:11 am

Kamanjah

I'm heading to bed. Too tired. Too many hours on snowy roads yesterday and a sick FIL...not fun anymore.

2:11 am

sprite

2:11 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Kam

2:11 am

grannyrose

2:12 am

Kamanjah

2:14 am

grannyrose

when i was in Rome, i bought three very light tops to wear. am wearing them as dresses in this weather. they are so floaty and light, and made of the lightest cotton possible.

2:14 am

sprite

that should help, rose. When in Rome...

2:14 am

Lizlin

Yeah - I hear youâ€™ve got a heatwave down there.

2:15 am

grannyrose

and you don't lizgirl? i thought QLD was in trouble too.

2:16 am

Lizlin

Not that hot. High 20s. Usual for here. Not much rain though, despite the storms last week.

grannyrose

2:26 am

sprite

2:28 am

sprite

I have slowed down considerably.

2:31 am

grannyrose

wonder if those icons happen in Zooz's bedroom

4:36 pm

MollyL

We can only hope
: D

4:39 pm

rururocks

with all CAPS.. the headboard would be involved

4:41 pm

MollyL

And notches in the headboard.

4:41 pm

MollyL

Peri, Fritz and Laura Perls for the ge7 therapy

4:41 pm

MollyL

Oh skip it, she already got it

4:42 pm

rururocks

too bad Zooz isn't here to get flustered

4:54 pm

BackwardsMan

Happy Zoozzoom is not here to see the patronising smugness of the goat

4:55 pm

rururocks

that's not smugness.. that's a laughing goat

5:00 pm

MollyL

Aw, I thought the all CAPS headboard comment was funny.

5:03 pm

BackwardsMan

A laughing goat and a 6 year old human from Gypsy Angel Row. Both dedicated to undermining players & asserting their â€˜superiorityâ€™. Hmmm.

5:04 pm

rururocks

what?.. where is that coming from

5:06 pm

BackwardsMan

Read the chatterbox. Itâ€™s clear.

5:07 pm

rururocks

zooz has a great sense of humor and would have laughed at the comment. he knows I have a sick sense of humor..

5:09 pm

MollyL

No one is asserting their superiority. Just joking around.

5:09 pm

MollyL

Chill out

5:13 pm

Good morning all.

ty ru.

5:16 pm

Lizlin

Hm! My words aren't entering :(

5:16 pm

BackwardsMan

Really?? Read back over the the chatterbox. A fragile person could be wrecked by your inane â€˜banterâ€™. Clearly MollyL craves the approval of RuRuRocks. Clearly RuRuRocks is an attention craving asshat.

5:17 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, Ru

5:17 pm

rururocks

thanks for sharing backwards.. but clearly way off the path

5:17 pm

dfmchfhf

these are people who have known each other for years, almost a decade on; you'd joke with your friends in a similar manner, too.

5:18 pm

Lizlin

I agree, dfmc

5:18 pm

HarryHood

nice of you to be concerned BM. But you're reading too much into this.

5:18 pm

rururocks

zooz has a fantastic sense of humor and would have laughed and not taken it personally at all..

5:19 pm

Lizlin

And he'd probably have bantered back too,

5:19 pm

HarryHood

btw, this is a lovely grid. 180 words in 20 minutes. gotta run!

5:19 pm

rururocks

it was a tough grid for me.. I had trouble with it

5:19 pm

Lizlin

I wish I was thinking that, Harry. These last 10 are challenging me.

5:19 pm

Lizlin

I also listed pretty early.

5:20 pm

HarryHood

last 10! I still have 105 to go.

5:20 pm

MollyL

Sorry BM, I don't crave the approval of anyone.

5:21 pm

Lizlin

Harry - don't forget flip is in the afternoon here - yesterday for me.

5:21 pm

HarryHood

so if it gets challenging later on, so be it. I'll list later. Have a good night - I gotta take the kids out!

5:21 pm

Have a good evening

180 words in 20 minutes??? I am pathetic I've been on and off 5 hours and only 101 words!

5:32 pm

rururocks

this is a very twisty grid Kristin.. it's nothing to be ashamed about

5:33 pm

MollyL

I've never gotten 180 words in 20 minutes.
Don't sweat it.

5:34 pm

kristin

Rururocks I used to be on years ago and just recently picked it back up so I've got to get used to the strange words again. Thanks for the support!

Definitely.

he's a really nice guy and one of my favorite players and I wouldn't say anything to hurt his feelings.. it was just a joke.

anybody who knows you knows that, ru.

I didn't want to stir up the pot to be honest.. he/she came out of left field

no.. it was more sensible people pointing out it wasn't a big deal or nothing near the big deal that Backwards made it out to be
