5:13 am

worzel

Every time it's in the grid I've always wondered why it doesn't allow leat. It's a real word and has been for centuries!

5:23 am

mattygroves

Hi all! I have a ja4 - what in the world am I missing, please?

5:32 am

MollyL

2 je4 and a je5

6:45 am

nurse1000

any help with the la7 Please?

6:48 am

nurse1000

nm . found it

7:00 am

ChampFit

There are 3 je4's

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

Only 2

7:05 am

ChampFit

Oh, right. Meant j4's. Sorry. The dog ate my glasses, literally.

7:06 am

Uneaixoise

Hee hee :-)

7:07 am

ChampFit

And I'd only had those new frames for a couple of months! Pain in the butt!

7:08 am

ChampFit

muss

7:08 am

MollyL

Well, she said she had the ja4 and asked what she was missing

7:08 am

ChampFit

CRAP...osrry!!!

7:08 am

ChampFit

Sorry!

7:09 am

MollyL

Does a dog have to go to the vet if it eats glass?

7:11 am

ChampFit

The lenses were plastic, and she just dented and scratched them. She took a small chunk out of the frames, but she's got a pretty strong stomach. If I had vet bills on top of new glasses cost, she might be "going to live on a farm"!!!

7:11 am

MollyL

Oh that's good. I didn't know dogs ate things like glasses.

7:12 am

ChampFit

In 2 years, this is only the second thing she's destroyed. #1 was a pair of shoes. I think they fell on the floor and she decided to gnaw on them.

7:15 am

MollyL

Oh God, if shoes on the floor were a target for a dog I would be barefoot in no time.

7:17 am

ChampFit

You just never know with dogs! Thank God she's cute.

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Lynxxx)) Hope yoou are well?

8:38 am

lynxxx

Pretty good - you? got your first jab yet?

8:39 am

zoozzoom

No I am way down the order for a jab. Both parents have been vaccinated though so that is good. How about you?

8:41 am

lynxxx

Australia hasn't started yet - still waiting for Phizer shipment. We are making the Astra but hasn't been approved yet

8:42 am

zoozzoom

Ah okay. Hope you all get the jab soon and I hope all this mess can be controlled in the end.

8:43 am

lynxxx

We are going OK - just small outbreaks which we seem to be able to get on top of. But I hope so too - maybe by end this year - fingers crossed

8:44 am

zoozzoom

Yes I fear that if the poor countries does not get the vaccine and giving it to their people then we will be going round and round in circles. Like you say though fingers crossed.

8:47 am

lynxxx

I am sure United Nations will encourage that of 'richer' countries. I know Australia has placed orders to help out neighbours in our region. I am sure other countries will have too

8:50 am

lynxxx

Goodnight - time for bed for me because all I can see is casette
