anyone watching the eagles and vikings game?

2:08 pm

periwinkle

Nope, are you?

2:10 pm

Milly

sheffner, you're missing a Y5/18.
The site was really slow for me yesterday and I couldn't even get on today. It's fast today though, so I'm happy!
I have no idea who the Eagles and Vikings are (I'm in England), but have fun watching it!

2:11 pm

sheffner1982

Oh sorry, it is a Professional football game:)

2:11 pm

sheffner1982

yes periwinkle I am... I am a big eagles fan

2:12 pm

sheffner1982

thanks for the help milly

2:13 pm

periwinkle

I work with a lot of Eagles fans, Hope they win.

2:13 pm

Milly

Don't apologise! I'm betting you wouldn't know many of the football (soccer) teams in Britain! :)

For the past month, I've tried to cut back on the time I spend here, but still (most days) I copy the grid, and play by myself... but not being able to sign on... even tried going through GOOGLE... nada!! what a terrible feeling of loss and emptiness.
Thank you, Babble God, for healing the site...

2:14 pm

Milly

I know, it's been awful. I had to talk to my husband instead! ;)

I think the PHP script crashed at game end last night.

2:24 pm

periwinkle

What's a PHP script?

2:26 pm

sheffner1982

ok I know that I am missing that last Y/5/18, but I can't seem to figure it out... do you have a clue you would be willing to give?

2:28 pm

fit1

I'm glad I'm not the only one who went into withdrawal.

2:29 pm

Milly

There's no dictionary definition, but think of a different spelling of a cartoon bear.

2:31 pm

sheffner1982

thanks, got it!

2:31 pm

Christine

Funny you should say that, Milly... I considered calling to speak to your husband :)

2:35 pm

Milly
