1:12 pm
hokie carla
I have a record player. My oldest kid (20) has a record player and buys albums regularly.
1:12 pm

mmmm - was the word boat part of your clue? -- I have that one
1:12 pm
zoozzoom
Embarressed to say but no I do not, Nan.Used to have 1210 technics turntables but no more.
1:14 pm
cybernan
For me, it was that the sound quality was so much better on a CD that I switched when they became readily available -- still have our 5 slot cd player.
1:14 pm
zoozzoom
I agree records sound much more deeper and richer than CDs
1:15 pm
hokie carla
no, boat was just the saying I used
1:15 pm
cybernan
lol - I think the opposite, zoom
1:15 pm
cybernan
to me they sound scratchier
1:16 pm
zoozzoom
No, Nan I have thousands of CDs too but records for me sound a lot better.
1:16 pm
hokie carla
is that what the q4 means?
1:16 pm
zoozzoom
As long as you look after them of course.
1:16 pm

mind you our cd player is part of a surround sound home theatre system.
1:17 pm

I just have have seperates sound Hi-fi. Does me now.
1:18 pm
hokie carla
the q6 is archaic, basically a letter on the end of the other archaic one
1:18 pm

lyes, but somewhat obsolete now -- our new smart TV produces even better sound on it's own.
1:18 pm

I just have 3 T's left and I know they were being clued earlier

1:22 pm

we had to go to a size larger than I wanted to get the picture and sound quality, but I have to admit it was worth it.
1:22 pm
hokie carla
we have LG soundbar and samsung TV
1:23 pm
cybernan
we had a samsung prior to this one, and liked it too. The LG didn't have some of the features that this one does and was more difficult to operate.
1:24 pm
cybernan
also , the samsung works well with the iphone and has Apple TV app built in.
1:24 pm

Should not moan really I still remember when the picture used to roll on the TV and you had to get up and go to the TV to push a button to change one of the three channels you could choose from haha!

Yep. I just came back to finish up but *shrug* might not, lol.
10:59 pm

I just got here about 10-15 minutes ago & am finding words fast but haven’t paid attention to nbs & nbt. I see I still have a ways to go to get either of those yet!
11:00 pm
amelu0218
I have all that, just missing 16 words. finally decided to list... (I like to finish at least one a week and yesterday's was not the charm, lol)
11:04 pm
amelu0218
Must admit that there is more than one "word" I've never seen... Oh, the monkeys are working hard tonight.
11:04 pm
Nef
I rarely get here these days until around 10; then I try like crazy to see if I can finish a grid (& I rarely do finish anymore.
11:08 pm
amelu0218
I absolutely used to HAVE to finish. Don't have the time or 'passion' to do so of late.
11:11 pm
Nef
I know; that’s what I was like “back in the day;†but once I retired there were more things to do. I see you’ve been here longer than I have, but I don’t remember you name from back then.
11:12 pm
rururocks
i finish every day
11:12 pm

Hi ru; how are you these days?
11:13 pm
amelu0218
I think I joined in 2005? It's been a hot minute, lol. I took a couple of years off, just cuz, and now I just come in to let my monkeys work (more or less)
11:14 pm
Nef
Yes, you joined about 2-3 weeks before me!
11:15 pm

I'm fine nef.. how are you guys doing

I have 5 left, all As... Oh, the joy.

the a's gave me a lot of trouble

We are doing fine; DH is going downhill, but he’s had MS for 33+ years now & we were blessed with 32 good years (& just celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary too)!
11:19 pm
amelu0218
Oh, goo1dness! Blessings on you both (and all family, of course)
11:20 pm
amelu0218
(not sure how that 1 got involved, I guess it was jealous?)
11:20 pm
Nef
So the fact that I only have 1 of each A shouldn’t be a surprise then?
11:21 pm
rururocks
that's a tough road nef
11:22 pm
Nef
LOL, amelu! I often have stray letters or numbers when I’m in a hurry!
11:25 pm
Nef
Ruru, it wasn’t bad until this past year; now I’m pretty much resigned to 24/7 nursing ( & I’m very happy we moved in to assisted living this year, because I can’t get him up when he falls these days.
11:25 pm
amelu0218
nope. most of what I have are babblets... Only three so far that I'd use in general conversation... Maybe 6-7 if I was talking to folks who would know what they mean, lol.
11:30 pm
amelu0218
Oh, jeez. Yes, assisted living is a good thing (if you're in the right community). Went through that with my mother when dementia/old timers struck her. My brother moved in with her and husband because husband couldn't get her up off the floor by himself if she went down. It's a horror to see family go through such. I'm glad you've had so many better years than not so good. You're blessed.
11:36 pm
Nef
I went “ shopping†for a good place about 2 years ago; DH’s neurologist told me that he needed to be in assisted living back then; so I looked around & had a whole list things I was looking for. At that time, I didn’t think we were ready to move, so I put the move off as long as possible(& we had to wait for an opening here too).I’m very happy
11:37 pm
Nef
DH has developed dementia over this year; I couldn’t put it off any longer.
11:39 pm
amelu0218
I'm glad for you! Those decisions are difficult but as long as you have your head in the game, they should be good decisions.
11:40 pm
amelu0218
Oh, no! Dementia is an evil, evil plague. I'm so very, very sorry to hear that!
11:45 pm
amelu0218
Did he play sports in his youth? I'm sorry, not my business. I have a friend whose father just passed away from said topic and they believe it was due to numerous concussions (football)... I think that those "old timer" injuries are starting to show their faces... we're infallible in our teens, who worries about long term at that point/
11:49 pm
amelu0218
As far as the As go, 3 I would use in general conversation, 4 I might use in conversation with those who would understand the meaning on a specific topic..The rest are pretty much babblets.
11:51 pm
amelu0218
