Aaah - the dolphin, of course. Thank you
4:23 am
player girl
Is the sh8 a combo of 2 4 letter words?
4:31 am
MollyL
The dolphin is 4/4. 4/6 is an obsolete word that means certainly.
4:43 am
mattygroves
Oh yes, of course, you're right. Thanks!
5:36 am

Player: The SH is a combo of 2 4 letter words
5:37 am
ChampFit
Well of course it is! Obvious when you tell me! ;)
5:38 am
ItalianGreyhound
Hi, Champ
5:38 am
ChampFit
Good morning!
5:42 am
ItalianGreyhound
is it derogatory to call someone a SH 8/50? gonna try it on my brother
5:43 am
ChampFit
I think you're good as long as you're not throwing a sh 4/5 at him. (As one of my brothers did to me when we were kids!)
5:44 am
ItalianGreyhound
ouch! He must have been a brat, since you were a little angel
5:45 am
ChampFit
Naturally. You are very wise IG
5:51 am
ItalianGreyhound
I dont know about "very"
6:05 am
Deeha
my brother once said to me 'if you do that again I will kick your spine so far through the top of your head you can hang a flag on it'. I was about 7!! Still remember!!Always had a way with words!!
6:06 am
ChampFit
Ha! BROTHERS!!!
6:06 am
ItalianGreyhound
that was disturbing
6:07 am
ItalianGreyhound
and hey, I was a brother
6:08 am
ItalianGreyhound
with 2 sisters
6:08 am
Deeha
did you have an annoying little sister tho?
6:08 am
Deeha
I see you beat me to it
6:08 am
ChampFit
I was the older sister with 2 younger brothers,and they were idiots! Grew up to be good men though.
6:09 am
ChampFit
Gotta run...bbl for last 4. Enjoy!

ItalianGreyhound
Bye Champ
6:35 am
ItalianGreyhound
Champs "gotta run" at 6;09 am - gotta be living an interesting life
6:42 am
Deeha
is there a time difference across US?
6:43 am
ItalianGreyhound
4 time zones here - Champ and I are on the same one tho
6:46 am
ItalianGreyhound
We are in the same State (Texas) but 250 miles apart
6:51 am
ItalianGreyhound
interesting fact (or not):Texas is larger in area than France
6:55 am
Deeha
wow. us Brits find it hard to imagine distances in the US. We used to go to York and have an overnight stay in between. I was shocked when we went from Denver to Colorado Springs for coffee!
6:57 am
ItalianGreyhound
thats a nice drive down I25
7:15 am
hurshy
some of us new englanders feel similarly to brits since our states are so much smaller than western ones
7:16 am
hurshy
the crazy thing, deeha, is that China, which also covers a great width, does NOT have different time zones. everyone is forced to be on beijing time.
7:17 am
hurshy
also it's only the continental US that has 4 time zones, we have more if you include alaska and hawaii

i never knew the definition
8:28 am
Shirlockc

8:29 am
penquis

8:30 am
rururocks
I knew you'd pull it out sooner or later

8:31 am
saanichcat
Time to withdraw from chat, ru
8:31 am
rururocks
shirl is poking holes in my theory
8:31 am
Shirlockc
you know it's a form of self gratification for ru, the punning that is
8:32 am
saanichcat
no comment
8:32 am
MollyL
Different strokes for different folks
8:32 am
rururocks
the problem now is that anyone who groans at a pun will be taken for something else
8:33 am
MollyL
Something else? I have always thought the groans meant that. You mean they don't? Damn
8:33 am
Shirlockc
how is that a problem, ru ;) ?
8:33 am
rururocks
I've always believed that if you can't beat them join them
8:34 am
saanichcat
we got set up for that
8:35 am
saanichcat
good one though
8:35 am
Shirlockc
practice makes perfect!

Mr. B is in Germany [his birthplace]. Tom Brokaw is asking for money for the W.W. II history museum in NOLA. Mr. B could find out what his family did during the war. Very ironic
9:05 am
rururocks
he doesn't know what his family did during the war?
9:08 am
bichon
He does know. They were in the German Army. I think the museum believes my husband was born in the US.
