hi liz

12:37 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hi, how are you and your beloved doing today?

12:38 am

Lizlin

We're fine - hot but not unbearable. How's the packing up going?

12:38 am

sprite

pretty okay. Almost done with my room, and we found a thrift store that will come and collect all our leftovers in the last week.

12:39 am

sprite

ks killed

12:39 am

Lizlin

That's good. I'm sure that everything will fall into place for you.

12:40 am

sprite

oh yes. Things are mostly moving with miraculous good results. Am profoundly grateful for that.

12:40 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go. Stuff to do. BBL. Hugs

12:41 am

{{{{{sprite}}}}}} hello dear friend. lol at the new word... put it in.

12:47 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend! In it goes. How are you and Don doing today?

12:48 am

grannyrose

all good. i have been out with june. lunch and a couple of charity shops. don, after my tantrum the other night has been getting on with the demolition needed before he can start the kitchen reno's.

12:49 am

sprite

I have missed the tantrum. Sucks though that he needs you to have a tantrum to get a move on every time.

12:49 am

cybernan

past my bedtime -- good night everyone :)

12:49 am

sprite

night nan

12:50 am

sprite

I bet this phantom has come up several times already: estimate

12:51 am

grannyrose

he under-cooked the chops for dinner. i stormed out to the kitchen, slamming the door behind me. he came out, and asked a rather silly question... what's wrong?

12:51 am

sprite

oh for crying out...

12:51 am

grannyrose

i was so angry and cross, and i screamed at him, for God's sake! give me my kitchen so i can cook.

12:52 am

sprite

good for you, honey. Seriously. This is ridiculous. He needs to start working on it and not stop until it is done. Simple as that.

12:52 am

grannyrose

as you know, i VERY rarely use God in my sentences.

12:53 am

sprite

I know. I am pretty sure God was cheering you on, and saying: YES! it is in MY sake, so get it DONE!

12:54 am

sprite

hitmen should be valid

12:54 am

grannyrose

*giggle* he started to say something about it being my fault that he hadn't been able to progress. but i preempted him, and said, and don't tell me i haven't been patient. 14 YEARS IS MORE THAN ANOTHER WIFE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU !!!

12:55 am

sprite

good! He definitely needed to hear that. If he stops working on it AGAIN, honey, enlist the help of professionals.

12:57 am

sprite

I am sorry, I have to run. Family constellations today and tomorrow, and I need to be there in time to help out. *hugs* my dearest friend. Well done on the tantrum. I will rename it 'well-deserved dressing-down'. Sleep well!

12:57 am

grannyrose

professional screamers ??? where would i find them on the internet??

12:58 am

grannyrose

enjoy your dear honey, as i know you will. xoxox

12:58 am

ahem... enjoy your DAY...

9:13 am

Scrabbler

I have passed halfway so I am done. I work from 1-5 and must stop at the supermarket before I go to the office.

9:14 am

Trifioso

9:14 am

9:14 am

mkg

yesh

9:14 am

mkg

oops sorry

9:14 am

mael

hah, I just tried that too mkg

9:15 am

aslindy

y7,52 actually starts with those 4, mkg

9:15 am

mkg

yesmen does not take either. nor yesser.......

9:15 am

mael

oh, duh, thank you

9:16 am

aslindy

should say ye7,52

9:16 am

Trifioso

perfect clue, thanks aslindy!

9:16 am

mael

I had the sh5/18

9:16 am

mkg

oh my, got it. a school for studying talmud and jewish law. wow. ty

9:17 am

mkg

the sh 5 is what jews do after they bury a person. these words should not be part of the dictionary. how would non jews ever know them? terrible dictionary we work from.

9:17 am

mkg

ty for the clues

9:17 am

mael

they have definitely entered the vernacular, though, as much as some french or italian or japanese words have

9:18 am

mael

I say they count :)

9:18 am

Trifioso

I agree mael - many non-Jews hear and know those words now - they are part of the vernacular for sure. Some of the Scottish words in here? not so much.....lol

9:19 am

mael

in fact, I'd say there are a ton of words that ought to be in the dictionary these days that aren't yet

9:19 am

aslindy

and what about Welsh words? the ones with no vowels, esp.

9:19 am

mael

like ramen, for instance

9:19 am

Trifioso

i mentioned that before, mael, regarding "vape" - definitely a thing these days

9:19 am

Trifioso

oh, the welsh words do trip me up, aslindy!

9:19 am

mael

I tried vape too, knowing it was futile

9:25 am

MLFAN17

got the ye 7

9:26 am

MLFAN17

is the first p a ph or ps?

9:28 am

aslindy

first p is a pa

9:29 am

MLFAN17

aslindy that is the bottom one

9:29 am

MLFAN17

I need the one under theT

9:29 am

aslindy

oh, you meant top in the grid, sorry

9:29 am

MLFAN17

9:30 am

aslindy

9:31 am

MLFAN17

got the ph 4

9:31 am

MLFAN17

4th column n for nbt?

9:33 am

mael

ne4/5

9:33 am

MLFAN17

hi mael ty

9:38 am

Trifioso
