hello, sprite, best with the retirement, but it sounds like yall are well set for a lovely time.
1:21 am

yeah made sense to me too, but I am not sure I would have tried all by myself
1:21 am
dcseain
agreed, rose, i’ve just never seen those spellings.
1:21 am
grannyrose
there you are.... thought you had fallen in, or been side-tracked by Rob. lol
1:23 am
sprite
think it will be great, seain. Rob was already working from home a lot, and we have lived for more than four years in a small caravan, even during covid, so we are used to being close together all the time. I see less of him than a year ago, lol. He has picked up a new passion, archery.

sprite, seain, i went to have my nails done, and this lady sat down beside me. i casually flicked a glance at her, and nearly fell off my chair. it was one of the nurses i used to work with at my last post.all our excited chatter had the staff grinning from ear to ear. at the moment she has stopped nursing, and is now a train driver.

i’m enjoing the chatting, but i need to be up early enough to get cat food, come home, go to the metro and into DC to meet a friend an the Smithsonian Natural History Museum around 12:30. So i should sleep, as the sleepy side effect of my diuretic has kicked in.

9:23 am
welki
a gal just joined the group, moved here from parksville (you were looking near there for a while, i think)
9:23 am
rururocks
I don't know how people do it.. i'm just not coordinated for that game.
9:24 am
welki
neither am i, ru - but once you get over the hit the ball, fetch the ball, mindset, it can still be fun
9:24 am
welki
it helps that i golf with folks that don't give a rat's patootie about rules and score
9:25 am
rururocks
that's good. it was that way when I started tennis, but got a lot better though
9:26 am

I liked his Jeeves stories.
10:14 am
welki
i think i might go out of my comfort zone and get these stories as audio books - hearing them with a British accent might make them even funnier
10:15 am
welki
(the british accent in my head only makes them slightly funnier)

one of my favorite small details when watching The Crown was that when Mohamed al Fayed hired that British servant who used to work for one of the royals or something, and asked him to teach him what he really needed to know to fit it and be accepted by the Brits, the guy handed him PG Wodehouse and said "read this".

10:34 am

10:47 am
Gillie
It's the fr5,16 then - ends with a metal
10:47 am
hurshy
no that's one of the ones i have :(
10:48 am
Gillie
Sorry - the fir fe6,27 is another spelling of the mythical person
10:48 am
hurshy
this suggests it's something obvs that i should have gotten, instead :(
10:48 am
Gillie
There are 2 fe6,27
10:49 am
hurshy
ahhh, thanks, i had the latin plural one but not that one!
10:49 am
hurshy
apparently that is a scots adj meaning healthy and strong
10:50 am
Gillie
Oops - I just assumed it was the little winged person
10:51 am
hurshy
yeah but i've discovered that a lot of times these words aren't what i think. like sinh, i figured they were including from math, hyperbolic sin, and didn't understand why tanh didn't also count, but it turned out there was a whole other unrelated meaning for sinh
10:51 am
hurshy
so lately i try to click the ? more
10:52 am
Gillie
Dictionary.com only seems to know about hyperbolic sine for sinh
10:54 am
hurshy
i don't remember what the other thing was but
10:54 am
hurshy
it was a whole big thing in chat the day i found out
10:54 am

11:09 am
