Hi all. Can anyone give me a nudge on the AC7, please?
6:03 am

Sounds like comedian Dan from The Blues Brothers
6:03 am
mattygroves
Great clue - thanks, Molly. How are you today?
6:03 am
MollyL
Not bad, and you?
6:04 am
mattygroves
Not bad. We had Jeff's mum's funeral yesterday, but we go to Sardinia tomorrow for 12 days, so ups and downs
6:05 am
MollyL
I'm sure it will be nice for the both of you to get away for a while.
6:05 am
mattygroves
Indeed. I'm looking forward to it - though I hope the trip home is OK; British Airways pilots are striking on and off through September
6:06 am
MollyL
Ack. Good luck. I hope it doesn't affect your flight home.
6:07 am
mattygroves
Me too. Still, in a way, better that than the other way around ;)
6:08 am
MollyL
True. Stranded on vacation has its merits.

6:42 am

Indeed ;) I don't go back to work until the Monday, so...(we're due to come back Thursday 12 September)

8:44 am
dan2bit
thanks! looking forward to it actually, after a stressful summer search
8:44 am
MLFAN17
what type of work?
8:46 am
dan2bit
I'm a software builder, primarily I've been working in education software, which is a small (and weird) niche community
8:46 am
MLFAN17
sounds entertaining
8:47 am
dan2bit
for me, it's preferable to the other software niches in the DC area, which are basically financial services or defense contracting
8:47 am
dan2bit
at least until Amazon HQ2 is really up and running
8:48 am
MLFAN17
would that be a dream job?
8:50 am
dan2bit
it really depends. I've heard mixed things about the way in which Amazon gets stuff built. They do have an education-facing group in AWS that I have some connections to
8:50 am
dan2bit
they certainly pay well :-)
8:50 am
MLFAN17
lucky you:)
8:51 am
dan2bit
well I'm not going there (yet anyway)
8:51 am
MLFAN17
where is the headquarters located?
8:52 am
dan2bit
Amazon is building out a new campus in Arlington, just between the Pentagon and DCA airport. The neighborhood is called Crystal City
8:52 am
dan2bit
my new company is out in Reston, near IAD airport
8:52 am
MLFAN17
ohh that area ...cool
8:53 am
MLFAN17
I am fron va:)
8:54 am
dan2bit
ah yes. We are between the two, hoping for an Amazon Effect in our real estate values :-)
8:55 am
MLFAN17
the Washington metro area has gotten expensive enough
8:56 am
MLFAN17
I want to go back so badly but THE CHANGES ..WOW
8:58 am
dan2bit
yes, I'm at the age now where I have to stop giving directions that are "turn left where that restaurant used to be"
8:58 am
MLFAN17
lol you are not kidding
9:01 am
MLFAN17
do you feel out of place there?
9:02 am
dan2bit
no I was born and raised in DC itself, moved out to the burbs after college in the mid-90's
9:02 am
dan2bit
it's gotten bigger and busier but it still feels like home
9:03 am
MLFAN17
i was born there too. lived overseas and went back to the area
9:03 am
MLFAN17
since things went up in price hubby and i had to move
9:03 am
dan2bit
foreign service or military family?
9:03 am
MLFAN17
dan good you are adjusting
9:03 am
MLFAN17
or hae adjusted is that better?lol
9:04 am
MLFAN17
the changes there make me so sad

9:04 am

hi hokie.you are from the southern part right?
9:04 am

I have been very fortunate to have made some smart real estate choices along the way. If you get off that escalator in this area, it's all but impossible to get back on

Up to 4 grandchildren
10:38 am

It has been a long time. I only recall one. My granddaughter is 22 next week and my grandson 14.
10:38 am
ChrissieDee
Should have had a part today for our Ruby wedding but hubby is ill so had to cancel
10:39 am
ChrissieDee
Is that the grandson who lives with you
10:39 am
jaxx7
So sorry to hear that. It is our Golden Wedding at Christmas and there are times when I wonder if I'll reach it.
10:40 am
ChrissieDee
Sorry to hear that too jaxx
10:40 am
jaxx7
You have a good memory. He is with us during the week, going home at weekends. he has an allotment which he tends with great care.
10:41 am

He is a great gardener and we enjoy his veg especially.

Eldest nearly 5. Starts scholl next week. The family came home from China last summer. Had a boy,born over there. Daughter has 2 girls. One just turned 3 and one 7 months 💓💓
10:46 am

10:47 am

Yes, very, but wonderfully so
10:47 am
ChrissieDee
Thanks mlf
10:48 am
jaxx7
Are you glad they are back from China. It looks as if it is about to start there
10:50 am
ChrissieDee
It is a relief to have them back
10:50 am
jaxx7
There's no place like home. The world is not so safe any more
10:52 am
ChrissieDee
Are you still rocking the pink hair? :)
10:52 am
MLFAN17
i agree jaxx
10:53 am
jaxx7
No, sadly. Sitting anywhere for any length of time is impossible. Colonic cancer means you become attached to the loo
10:54 am
ChrissieDee
Oh no. So sorry jaxx. Didn't like to pry
10:55 am
jaxx7
I have had time to get used to the idea. Now they tell me I am losing my vision in my left eye as well. I won't be able to see the loo properly which can only be a blessing.
10:57 am
ChrissieDee
Jaxx, I've put my email address in my profile if you want to take it to chat anytime. I'll remove it in a minute

Hello ((((Jaxx)))). That is devastating news. I’m really sorry to hear it. I wish you nothing but the best, my friend.
11:00 am

Thanks soodle. How's the latest arrival doing?
11:01 am
jaxx7
Chrissie. Must have missed it
11:01 am
Soodle
He is a tonic, Jaxx. A beautiful healthy baby, blessed with very powerful lungs!!
11:01 am
ChrissieDee
Its there now. Forgot to press update before returning to puzzle!
11:02 am
jaxx7
You won't be able to ignore him then. Typical male!
11:02 am
jaxx7
Thanks, Chrissie.
11:03 am
Soodle
His Grandma(me) however, is paying dearly for the excesses of a my nieces wedding yesterday. I drank my head off & danced my feet off & thought I was 22 again. Suffering today!
11:04 am
jaxx7
It is hard to remember your age when you still feel 21
11:04 am
ChrissieDee
Go Soodle. Very jealous. Could do with some dancing
11:05 am
jaxx7
Well, people my husband is calling me so I must away. Thanks for the catch ups. Bye
11:05 am
Soodle
I think I danced more in the past 24 hours than I have done in the past 24 years. And quite possibly drank more as well. It was a terrific day, and after recent bereavements, great to have a happy family reunion.
11:06 am
Soodle
((((Jaxx))) Take care. I’m thinking of you.
11:06 am
ChrissieDee
Sounds wonderful
11:06 am
ChrissieDee
Bye jaxx
11:08 am
Soodle
Chrissie - so sorry to hear your hubby is so ill. What a bummer not being able to celebrate a milestone like your ruby anniversary.
11:10 am
ChrissieDee
Yes. He's completely out of the game. Slept all day. Just me, the dog and enough food and drink to,sink a battleship
11:11 am
Soodle
If I’m not being rude, can I ask what ails him?
11:11 am
ChrissieDee
Just virus I think, but a nasty one
11:13 am
Soodle
Well - that sounds treatable, thankfully. In the meantime, Chrissie, you treat YOURSELF!!
11:14 am
ChrissieDee
We can celebrate another day. The toughest part is cancelling the family coming. Like your day yesterday i was looking forward to us all being together
11:15 am
ChrissieDee
Thanks Soodle. Now I'd better go and feed the dog. Do you think I can give here cake? lol
11:17 am
Soodle
Yep, I hear you. But 40 years???? You get out of jail after 7 years after committing murder. I’d tip my fascinator (sp?) at you if it had survived!!! 😂😂😂

hurshy wins a ring of power and a faithful servant gollum
1:08 pm
hurshy
i'll pass, lol
1:10 pm
rururocks
you don't want someone to call you precious?
1:10 pm
hurshy
gollum didn't call FRODO precious!
1:11 pm
rururocks
it was a stretch..
1:11 pm
hurshy
come to think of it i probably don't want someone to call me that. i think LotR has ruined that word, lol
1:14 pm
MollyL
*Makes a mental note to call Hurshy cupcake, not precious
1:15 pm
hurshy

1:17 pm

*Goes to the dunce corner for spelling mistake
1:19 pm
hurshy
it does sound that way a bit when you hear it if you're used to english pronunciation of vowels
1:22 pm
cybernan
good morning all -- high % of fours in this one
1:30 pm
cybernan
I can't figure out why the thinker is considered to be one of his greatest works -- it is one of the least complex
1:32 pm
MLFAN17
cyber really?
1:33 pm
cybernan
yes --- have a look at 'the gates of hell', 'the burghers of calais' or 'the kiss'
1:33 pm
MLFAN17
do you mean in the detail of them?
1:34 pm
cybernan
and the composition
1:35 pm
MLFAN17
its a strange sculpture to begin with in my opinion?
1:35 pm
MLFAN17
were those that you mentioned before the Thinker or what time period?
1:35 pm
cybernan
just my opinion, mind you --- guess it didn't make as much of impression on me as the others when I saw them at his gallery
1:36 pm
cybernan
have no idea
1:36 pm
MollyL
Well Nan, art and how it is evaluated is a wide ranging thing. Consider Jackson Pollock.
1:37 pm
cybernan
exactly! - I know that some admire pollock -- personally, I think he is in the same category as my 7 yearold grandchildren
1:37 pm
MLFAN17
lol ouch cyber
1:38 pm
MLFAN17
the kiss seems not as complex to me
1:39 pm
cybernan
it is carved out of marble, mlf and much more sensual in real life than in a photo.
1:39 pm
cybernan
that is also true of a lot of pieces of art -- not just sculptures
1:39 pm
MLFAN17
true materials do make a difference
1:40 pm
rururocks
i love pollock's last works.. they are amaznig
1:40 pm
rururocks
van gough is my favorite artist however
1:41 pm
rururocks
(hoping Nan will buy me a van gough for my birthday next month) :D
1:42 pm
cybernan
sorry - I just don't see that it takes a lot of talent to throw paint at a canvas
1:42 pm
rururocks
my favorite Rodin is the old woman in the chair.. i can't remember the name of it however
1:43 pm
MLFAN17
I love George suerate
1:43 pm
rururocks
i just saw a number of Pollocks at the MOMA in NY.. i'm not crazy about the earlier stuff.. but his last two works are incredible
1:43 pm
MLFAN17
sorry spelled that wrong I think
1:45 pm
MLFAN17
yeah him ty ruru
1:45 pm
rururocks
time to get stuff done around the house.. i've delayed as long as possible.. have a great holiday weekend fellow americans.. and a nice weekend to everyone else
1:46 pm

my favourite rodin is the one of the girl in the hat covered with flowers -- so much emotion showing on her face -- how can anyone get that out of a hunk of marble
1:50 pm
MLFAN17
talent and free time?
1:50 pm
cybernan

1:50 pm
MLFAN17

1:52 pm
MLFAN17
