Hiya hursh! Feeling Christmassy despite both my kids ringing and dumping their anger and frustration on me 'cos no other trusted person to say all that to. Took me down for a while, but due to my lovely Paul, I'm fine again now, despite neither asking how my sprained ankle was doing.
11:26 pm
hurshy
all hail Paul!
11:26 pm
hurshy
and how IS your sprained ankle doing?

Wondering if you had a view of the Christmas star on your side - we had thick cloud cover so no view at all
11:28 pm
hurshy
i didn't here in New England, clouds defeated us as well, though the trees might have done it even without clouds
11:29 pm
Jacula
Hurshy - Yes, all hail Paul at the moment. Ankle is much less harshly painful than it was a few days ago, Feels like it's on the mend.
11:30 pm
Jacula
Ursh - No view of The Alignment in UK tdue to cloud cover, but weather forecast does look good for clear sky on Christmas Eve.

sheesh, many "normal" words that I just didn't see because I was looking (and missing) the oddball ones... Yay, Jac! hope all mends w/o problem!
11:33 pm
Jacula
amelu - you sent me off looking for without as a grid word then!
11:33 pm
Jacula
And I say that as someone who finished the grid some hours ago! ROFLOL
11:34 pm
Jacula
Addicted? Moi? Non!
11:34 pm
amelu0218
LOL! I live that daily!
11:35 pm
Jacula
That's Babbleaddiction for you, amelu!
11:37 pm
Jacula
Anyway, as I was saying... any last minute clues needed,since I'm here and still awake at totally stupid am?
11:38 pm
amelu0218
I've been watching the planet pairing (trio for those who still consider Pluto a planet) for months, now... Of course, cloud cover on short term events but they have been working toward this apex for quite some time... (yes! babbleaddiction is the proper term, lol!)
11:39 pm
Jacula
Of course Babbleaddiction is a word, all we old timers know that and sit back and watch newbies succumb to it.
11:42 pm

amelu - for how long could one be able to see the "big star" - we are going up into the mountains for a week tomorrow and am wondering if there is still something to see with the naked eye ?
11:42 pm
amelu0218
that's 300 points (if my muddled brain is tallying correctly, lol).
11:43 pm
Jacula
But, what I will say re the addiction and perhaps talking to other players on line whilst indulging in that, is don't do what me and Ren did and ignore your instincts. Ren and her hubby died in a fire the night we did that. :(
11:44 pm
Jacula
Still not forgiven myself for that.
11:45 pm
Jacula
That's part of the reason I rarely chog in here now, or on any other char place with other players.
11:46 pm
amelu0218
I originally thought it was Venus showing up a bit late but discovered how far off I was... when you consider that it happens about every 20 years, you probably have a hot minute (day or two?) to be able to enjoy their closeness...
11:46 pm
Jacula
*chatm I meant, not char.
11:47 pm
amelu0218
Always listen and heed the little voices.
11:48 pm
Jacula
No one seems to need clued at the end so I will sign out before all the obvious clues arrive. Prefer to work the grid out for myself, mostly.
11:48 pm
amelu0218
They're usually spot on, unless you're delusional (and even then, they're probably spot on)
11:49 pm
amelu0218
Agreed on that. I'll scroll back when stumped but generally have no rhyme or reason for my monkeys work...
11:50 pm
amelu0218
Enjoy! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/etc. if I don't catch you again prior!
11:51 pm
Jacula
Merry Christmas all!
11:59 pm

and to all a good night!
