12:28 am
hurshy
ok, bear with me on this pun. if a person who drinks too much can be a wino, then maybe a baby who drinks too much momma's milk when it's time for solid foods is a we4o

Hi all. Hi and hugs Sprite - if you've not finished the grid already.
1:23 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* Doing other things at the same time, not getting anything really done that way, lol.
1:23 am
Lizlin
How are you? Long time no see!
1:24 am
sprite
am pretty well, a bit busy but with good stuff. And you and your beloved?
1:25 am
Lizlin
Not too bad - there've been (still are) major bush fires close to us over the past week and the smoke has been pretty horrible. Not to mention all the damage etc too to property, animals and a very beautiful area.
1:26 am
sprite
must be so scary to be living that close to such devastation. Are you and yours safe at least?
1:27 am
Lizlin
We're not in a fire zone so we're totally safe but like I said, the smoke has been pervasive.
1:27 am
sprite
am glad you are safe. But yeah, the smoke must be a real issue.
1:28 am
Lizlin
I resorted to allergy tablets for several days and the smell is just in everything - clothing, bedding, towels etc etc but really we've got it easy compared to many who are directly affected.
1:29 am
sprite
*sends a bunch of smoke eaters over to Liz's*
1:30 am
Lizlin
OK - time for me to be out of here for a while. I've made a good start on the grid. Glad to have caught up wth you. Keep on enjoying the good stuff but don't overdo it. Hugs.
1:31 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* and for your beloved too. Good luck with the smoke.
1:33 am

9:03 am
rururocks
hmm wonder why?
9:03 am
Judi
Technology is part of it. Plus I firmly believe our current Chief wants all cops and no civilians in the PD.
9:04 am
Judi
The boredom does not sit well with me.
9:04 am
Judi
Especially when we only have a 55 word grid, dammit!
9:05 am
