welp, my internet security and chrome insisted Babble is a bad place, outdated certificate. Even though I've been going here for years with a "not secure" note by the URL. In another browser for now.
2:01 am
Kamanjah
Hi! Hope you had a great Friday the 13th!
2:02 am
rbud
Not too bad! How was yours?
2:03 am
Kamanjah
Not bad. Dog is groomed and looks and smells great! I didn't get all the cleaning I wanted to do done, but that's life.
2:04 am
Kamanjah
This grid is a bit nasty for me.
2:06 am
Aloyisius
me too, Kamanjah
2:08 am
Kamanjah
I have 36 left. Top row and right column gray. Missing one E on the bottom. The B words are hiding from me, lol!
2:09 am
Aloyisius
am not as far as you, still slogging through first pass
2:10 am
Kamanjah
I'm slogging thru first pass too, but I'm getting stuck. I think it will have to wait until morning.
2:11 am
Aloyisius
with coffee !
2:12 am
Kamanjah
Oh, I'm still on night time, no coffee, need to get to bed! I'm on the west coast.
2:13 am
rbud
I think she meant the grid will be better in the AM with coffee... at least that's how I read it.
2:13 am
Aloyisius
ah so.. tuff grid
2:13 am
rbud
unless Aloy is slogging with coffee right now, that is...
2:14 am
Aloyisius
no way!
2:15 am
Aloyisius
only have coffee in the am
2:16 am
Kamanjah
You're right Rose. I quit coffee about 4 years ago and just don't think about it.
2:18 am
Aloyisius
oh my gosh.. why did you quit, Kamanjah?
2:19 am
Kamanjah
Long story - I didn't feel well, so missed a few cups, and then hubby died and I just didn't want it any more.
2:20 am
Aloyisius
oh.. so sorry for your loss!
2:22 am
Kamanjah
Thanks. I'm at the 3-year point right now and still haven't found my way alone. I should be back to living a normal life, but I've really never lived alone and it has been a rough adjustment.
2:24 am
Aloyisius
I'm sure it has been a rough time for you.. I know the pain of loss and find that being with others is a big help.. volunteer work if you can
2:26 am
Kamanjah
nocash should be a real word in these times, lol!
2:39 am
rbud

10:23 am
rururocks

10:23 am
hurshy

10:23 am
hurshy
you know you've been babbling too long when the stringed instrument you try first is "sitar"

Need to stop for awhile.. limited use of hands this week. Fell off the front porch (cement) on Sunday. Bad sprains in both ankles, bruises and scrapes on both sides of my body and of course my hands. Slowly getting better. I'm finally upright again. Small victories.
