WTG TQ

1:58 am

sprite

it was my 3rd word, TQ. NEVER happens. I am notoriously biggie-blind.

1:59 am

grannyrose

i see you had a bad night sprite. any idea as to the trigger?

1:59 am

sprite

just too much pa4, darling.

2:02 am

grannyrose

you poor love. my LEFT knee is starting to disturb my sleep. i'm not ready for the implications of that.

2:03 am

sprite

*hugs*

2:03 am

grannyrose

did you take your magnesium, and your paracetamol before bed last night?

2:03 am

sprite

yeah I did.

2:04 am

grannyrose

that leaves positioning in bed. did you change something? when you moved the bed?

2:04 am

sprite

no sweetie. It just happens sometimes.

2:05 am

grannyrose

* pouting * it's not fair.

2:05 am

sprite

ikr?

2:06 am

grannyrose

btw, i absolutely loved the last zentangle you did. ( did i get that right?)

2:07 am

sprite

thank you! Yes, I think it is almost there. Might add a border to give it some more steadiness.

2:08 am

grannyrose

lemme have another look. hang on.

2:09 am

grannyrose

maybe a pale green?

2:09 am

sprite

yeah maybe. Will send you the next one, grin

2:09 am

grannyrose

or the lemon shade from the main element?

2:11 am

sprite

also a good one

2:14 am

grannyrose

btw. at church this morning, a lady was walking past the door and she came back and peered in through the glass. I beckoned her in, and asked her if she would like to sit in on the service which she was delighted to do. later, when we were passing The Peace, she found Shirley ( my old neighbour) she was so pleased and so was Shirley as they knew each other from being in the same care facility. it was so lovely.

2:15 am

sprite

wow, that is lovely

2:16 am

grannyrose

i'm still grinning about it. The Big Guy in the sky moves in mysterious ways.

2:16 am

sprite

that He does.

2:34 am

sprite

am loving this grid, btw.

2:36 am

grannyrose

i found it a bit slow. couple of tiles completely flummoxed me until i had a light-bulb moment and awaaaay i went.

2:36 am

sprite

yeah same. But I love those lightbulb moments. Am always grinning a little at myself for being so blind to the obvious.

2:39 am

grannyrose

ikr? then you grin some more 'cos you are sitting there grinning to yourself, and no-one else is there.

2:39 am

sprite

lololol exactly!

2:45 am

sprite

fireflies! Am gonna be smug all day about finding the biggies so quickly and without prompting :)
*hugs* my darling, take care of that knee.

2:46 am

grannyrose

* hugs * my dearest friend. i hope your day improves for you.

8:34 am

ChampFit

He was so ahead of his time...

8:35 am

hokie carla

I think he posted it on the internet

8:35 am

ChampFit

He invented the internet, carla. Gore lied.

8:36 am

hokie carla

good point

8:37 am

hurshy

phantom: strong

8:37 am

hokie carla

I must need some caffeine or something. this top row is a PITA.

ChampFit

You're right...it is.

hokie carla

not only was my cursor in the wrong spot, my hand was in the wrong spot

8:44 am

hurshy

heehee

8:44 am

hokie carla

and of course I was missing the most regular of the b's

8:46 am

hurshy

yeah i still don't know what the en7 that we've had three days in a row is

8:47 am

hokie carla

I know we had etesian 2 days in a row but don't rem. an EN. but I will look at yesterday's list.

8:48 am

ChampFit

Super similar! fiddle with that.

8:48 am

lynxxx

8:49 am

hokie carla

thanks. that wasn't on yesterday's list BTW.

8:49 am

hurshy

ok so that was a figment of someone's imagination then lol

8:49 am

ChampFit

True...I guess I meant "in a week". Sorry to throw you off

8:49 am

phaeton

I keep wanting to put in rogaine

8:50 am

hokie carla

I didn't see that, was just going by what hurshy said

8:50 am

hokie carla

8:51 am

hurshy

lol

8:51 am

phaeton

lol

8:55 am

hurshy

phantom: apricot

8:55 am

Dorens

rogaine isn't it? I guess that's splitting hairs

8:57 am

hurshy

it is, hokie was just saying she tried it without the i as if somehow there was a generic version that was spelled differently

8:57 am

hokie carla

was going to say it's a brand name but then couldn't think of a pun to continue

8:58 am

rururocks

that's folicle manslaughter

8:58 am

hokie carla

well it wasn't a bald faced lie or anything

8:59 am

rururocks

I should have left well enough salon

9:00 am

ChampFit

Sweeney Todd would get to the root of it

9:05 am

phaeton

9:15 am

ChampFit

9:16 am

hokie carla

I don't have any of the 8s

9:17 am

hokie carla

haven't gotten to any of those tiles yet

9:19 am

hokie carla

oh, just found 2 8s and the 9. but they just happen to be what you have already.

9:20 am

ChampFit

:)

9:25 am

rururocks

i've only closed out 8 tiles

9:25 am

rururocks

ugh

9:26 am

hokie carla

so...easy?

9:26 am

rururocks

well it was looking easy for a while

9:26 am

Dorens

really ru? I've actually closed out 11 :)

9:26 am

hokie carla

I have closed out 3 but just on 3rd row

9:26 am

rururocks

you're smarter than me Doren

9:26 am

rururocks

:D

9:26 am

hokie carla

ooh, 4 now

9:27 am

ChampFit

Down to 27 and it's very slow going

9:27 am

hokie carla

ooh, found another 8. but still one you have, champ

9:28 am

ChampFit

Come on, carla...I'm counting on you!

9:28 am

ChampFit

You haven't finished your first pass though...I believe in you!

9:28 am

hokie carla

well, counting on me for big words is a mistake

9:30 am

hokie carla

and I keep seeing playground, and I know there's not a Y or L, ruru!

9:36 am

rururocks

well you'll get in the swing of it eventually

9:37 am

BzznBea

Hello friends.

9:37 am

hokie carla

bea!

9:37 am

ChampFit

gm bea

9:38 am

hokie carla

champ, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there's an 8 hiding in that U.

9:39 am

ChampFit

I'm sure there is, but not seeing it so far. I need 2 on that tile.

9:39 am

hokie carla

I only found 4 so far there

9:40 am

ChampFit

So many ways to go!

9:40 am

hokie carla

I know!

9:41 am

hokie carla

all I've learned is you can't unstab someone. I guess that's like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

9:41 am

ChampFit

yes, of course I tried, but whatevs.

9:44 am

ChampFit

I would think you could understab them, so they don't die, which defeats the purpose.

9:44 am

hokie carla

tried that too, even though it's 9

9:45 am

ChampFit

I'm not counting, I'm typing!

9:45 am

hokie carla

Has anyone else seen The Greatest Night in Pop? Did I already ask this the other night when I watched? So good.

9:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, I usually don't count at all

9:46 am

ChampFit

No, haven't seen it.

9:47 am

hokie carla

it's about the making of We Are the World

9:48 am

rururocks

only two 8's here also

9:48 am

ChampFit

No, I did see that ages ago. It was so helpful! Every time I heard the song, i tried to pick out who was who. All was clear after I saw it!

9:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think the doc has been out a while

9:49 am

rururocks

(not a michael jackson fan here)

9:50 am

hokie carla

well, there were like 50 or so other people involved

9:50 am

rururocks

found a ne 8 by the way

9:50 am

ChampFit

I saw a documentary about the making of his last concert, which was awesome. He was so talented! But then I saw one from his accusers, and there ya go.

9:51 am

hokie carla

the doc didn't mention all the jacksons were there (except Janet), and I watched the actual video and saw Latoya and one of the bros. and then looked on wikipedia and read they were all there.

9:53 am

ChampFit

Gotta go get ready for church, will bbl to finish. Enjoy1

9:53 am

hokie carla

the year that came out my class performed it in the school talent show, so I got to know the song pretty well.

9:53 am

hokie carla

bye champ, enjoy

9:56 am

BzznBea

Carla, did you get you car finished?

9:57 am

hokie carla

um, no. taking it in tomorrow to a body shop. guess I can't DIY everything.

9:58 am

BzznBea

A trip to the body shop is in order for the Suburban.

9:59 am

hokie carla

how do you like the suburban?

9:59 am

BzznBea

We love it. This is our second.

10:00 am

hokie carla

I'd kinda like to go back to a car but it is nice being able to haul people and things.

10:00 am

hokie carla

but mine (Acura MDX) is not as big as a Suburban

10:01 am

BzznBea

I don't drive it much. It's too big to just run around town in. But I feel much safer in it when I'm highway driving.

10:02 am

hokie carla

mr. homie doesn't even like to run around town in his smaller pickup

10:03 am

rururocks

<---drives a ton

10:03 am

hurshy

phantom: unicorn

10:03 am

10:05 am

10:06 am

BzznBea

We could talk about gas grills. The reason the Sub needs to go to the body shop.

10:07 am

welki

10:08 am

rururocks

i tote a lot of wine so I need a truck

10:08 am

welki

10:08 am

hokie carla

10:12 am

hokie carla

it's so nice not having to deal with the rock salt

10:13 am

hurshy

10:14 am

hokie carla

10:35 am

hurshy

10:36 am

hokie carla

yes, winston's the best vacuum

10:36 am

welki
