hmm, no hemp. not seeing it.
9:08 am

rururocks

9:14 am

9:15 am
Wendrie
Hi Carla - nope agreeing with you :)
9:16 am
rururocks
for once this is an easy grid
9:16 am
hokie carla
Hi Wendrie, and thanks. I have 2/5 today
9:16 am
hokie carla
sorry, 3/6
9:17 am
rururocks
not easy peasy but easier than the two previous
9:17 am
hokie carla
ru, I don't trust your definition of easy grids
9:17 am
Wendrie
yeah - I've got to half way and haven't finished my smoothie. The last few took way longer!

Smart move Ru. You wouldn't want to be called patronizing, or condescending.
9:23 am
hokie carla
it's fine, gives me an idea of what to shoot for.
9:23 am
hokie carla
found the 7!
9:24 am
Haz1558
Or how about being a stirrer who doesn't take criticism on board but who will harp endlessly on for weeks.
9:25 am
hokie carla
well, I hope I haven't done that
9:25 am
gingin
well said, Haz
9:26 am

9:26 am
rururocks
I think people react to anything said
9:26 am
Haz1558
Well, she is now.
9:26 am
hokie carla
did I miss something this week or this is old?
9:27 am
Haz1558
If she wasn't being patronising or condescending she would have moved on. Not her style.

9:46 am
FrenchToast
