Gillie

bossa would have to be a *female* Italian boss, I think, and bosso a male boss. Then again, my Italian is limited.

11:58 am

Gillie

(in response to a comment ruru made quite a ways back)

12:03 pm

hurshy

bossa nova is a form of music, right?

4:22 pm

Soodle

<—- Could do with a bit of peacing out here. January 2024 brought (in chronological order), the death of a much loved uncle, the death of my much loved little dog & my divorce. It was a very fraught month.

4:23 pm

hurshy

4:34 pm

cybernan

Donr - back at the flip if I'm still awake.

4:47 pm

Soodle

Nope, Molly. I only ever married once. He vanished 17 years ago. I only got around (could afford to) divorce him in recent times. And thanks Nan.

4:48 pm

dan2bit

hugs for Soodle

4:54 pm

Gillie

Bit late for this, but I'm sure ruru's comment was meant as a joke - so was mine!

4:55 pm

Soodle

Thank you Dan. 22.54 on Friday night in this neck of the woods & I’m celebrating the end of a horrible January with a glass or two of Chateau Aldi. Enough self pity now - I’m off to bed. Nite all 😊😊😊

4:56 pm

dan2bit

sleep well, enjoy the weekend

4:56 pm

Gillie

Soodle, when you say he "vanished" 17 years ago, I hope you mean that he just left, but is still known to be alive somewhere?

4:57 pm

dan2bit

could use a clue for the 2nd ch6

4:58 pm

hurshy

which option will you ch6?

4:58 pm

rururocks

maybe captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan?

5:03 pm

Soodle

He was a missing person for several weeks back in 2007, until the Irish police traced his credit card movements to Bangkok Thailand. He has been floating around SouthEast Asia ever since, Gillie. Last known whereabouts, Manila Philippines. It was very difficult trying to divorce him as we had no address to serve papers on him. We ended up putting (very expensive) advertisements in English language newspapers circulating in the Philippines.

5:04 pm

Gillie

Oh - I'm sorry!

5:05 pm

rururocks

wow.. that's an incredible story

5:07 pm

Soodle

Hey - Just wait till I write the book & it gets turned into a mini-series. You Babblers can say you heard it first 🤪

5:08 pm

hokie carla

rerehi - that's a crazy story. can't wait for the book and miniseries.

5:09 pm

rururocks

I can see it now... "From Soodle to Noodles" My mysterious trip to Bangkok

5:10 pm

Soodle

I think I might just copy-right that title, Ruru.
