Kamanjah

Hey there! I hope all is well with you and yours.

2:53 am

sprite

hiya Kam! We are okay-ish. No big dramas, lots of minor stuff.

2:53 am

sprite

how are you doing?

2:53 am

Kamanjah

I'm happy. My grandson was here for a full week and we had a great time.

2:54 am

sprite

oh wow, sounds marvelous. Glad you could have a lovely connecting time with him.

2:57 am

Kamanjah

We talk all the time, but it had been 5 years since I last saw him. I still can't believe he's 29! Time just flies by.

2:57 am

sprite

spending time together IRL is different from talking and even zooming, I know. Am so glad for you that you had this time with him. And for him as well!

3:00 am

Kamanjah

It was the best. He loved the quietness of the country setting. He lives in an apartment in Colorado and says it is very noisy. I wish he wasn't quite so far away - it's a 3 hour flight after he gets to Denver and then a 2 hour drive to my little place in the middle of nowhere, California, lol!

3:00 am

sprite

yeah, that is a long travel for a visit. But not too long for a stay :D

3:01 am

sprite

hey, justafreep is in the grid today! Hiya freep :)

3:02 am

Kamanjah

It was SO worth it! Getting hugs from a loved one is the best!

3:03 am

sprite

oh it is! Hugs are worth all the words in the world.

3:03 am

Kamanjah

I'm sure you will enjoy this grid. My brain is running out of ideas and it's bedtime for me. Good to "see" you tonight. *hugs*

3:03 am

sprite

sleep well, darling

3:05 am

Kamanjah

Thank you. I hope you have a lovely day. I'll look for all the plurals I missed in the morning :)

3:05 am

sprite

lol indeed. Lovely!

3:19 am

grannyrose

yoohoo!! g'day sprite and kam. * hugs *

3:19 am

sprite

hi there honey *hugs*

3:21 am

grannyrose

how are you going sweetie? are you managing to have a decent night rest?

3:21 am

sprite

no I am on a streak of nightmares. Not sure why. But managing.

3:22 am

grannyrose

ugh. you poor darling. are you remembering to try singing a favourite song in your head when you waken?

3:23 am

sprite

yeah. But you know cptsd. Sometimes, nothing helps. It has to run its course, I guess.

3:23 am

grannyrose

it must be the season for bad dreams. i have had some horrific ones lately too.

3:24 am

sprite

ugh, that sucks.

3:25 am

grannyrose

i resorted to a small dose of valium finally, just for the one night. have been able to sleep reasonably well for a couple of nights running.

3:25 am

sprite

our DLS time just ended. Our night was an hour longer. So Nero and I were up at 5, lol

3:25 am

sprite

yeah, I might take an oxazepam tonight. That usually works wonders for me.

3:26 am

grannyrose

omg.... what did you do for that hour?

3:27 am

sprite

got up, put on my gift to myself, an Oodie, and started some youtube thing on court sittings. And I worked on the blanket for Lauryn.

3:28 am

grannyrose

oh good Lord! thousands of nudies on one of our bridges in Brisbane, in the name of art, for pete's sake!

3:28 am

sprite

Rob, as always, slept like a baby <3

3:28 am

grannyrose

of course he did!~~

3:29 am

sprite

lol, let them, silly people

3:29 am

grannyrose

can you imagine all those floppy boobs and genitalia?? lolol,

3:30 am

sprite

yeah, I wouldn't make a big deal about it, tbh. It is definitely not the time or place for it, but nothing wrong with nude bodies in itself. I see many in the spa.

3:31 am

sprite

on a side no4: if I try 'siphon' one more time, I will have to kick myself.

3:31 am

grannyrose

we've been out for a lovely time with some of our ( read my ) cousins. one of whom turned 80 this week.

3:31 am

sprite

oh wow, sounds fun

3:32 am

sprite

(and I am pretty sure 'scrote' is used as a curse word for lousy men)

3:33 am

grannyrose

the Returned Servicemen's League in Dandenong have an excellent bistro area. no loud music. no shouting. it was so nice to be able to talk at normal volume...AND..... Don put his hearing aids in.

3:33 am

grannyrose

* giggle * change the last vowel

3:33 am

sprite

good man, Don! He IS learning. Are you putting your foot down more often?

3:33 am

sprite

ah. Thanks darling, got it.

3:34 am

grannyrose

yes, and he isn't all that happy with it. but he has to learn that everything is not about him.

3:35 am

sprite

abso-freakin'-lutely. In the end, he will be happier than he is now, trust me. Once he starts to relax into the experience of having boundaries in place.

3:35 am

sprite

I am proud of you

3:36 am

grannyrose

thanks honey. it's hard work. i'm not his mother, but i don't think mother mac knew how to set boundaries.

3:37 am

sprite

I think you are absolutely right about that. And remember that you are not setting boundaries as a mother, but as a wife. You don't have to teach him how to be an adult. You just have to NOT put up with him acting as a child. You should expect adult behaviour from your spouse.

3:38 am

grannyrose

i hear you. btw, Don is getting dinner ready so i might have to leave soon.

3:39 am

sprite

all good, darling, you go and enjoy dinner once it is ready. When are you guys changing time?

3:39 am

grannyrose

speaking of spouses how's yours going? opps sorry, see you in whatsapp later. xoxoxoxoxox

3:40 am

sprite

lol all good. Enjoy!

3:41 am

sprite

okay, this is ridiculous. If one can tiptoe, we sure have toetips

3:59 am

grannyrose

still here ? honey ? i inhaled my meal... lol

3:59 am

sprite

lolol yeah I am still here

3:59 am

sprite

I hope it was lovely

4:00 am

grannyrose

i had a huge lunch. yummy piece of steak with garlic butter, chips and vegs. so we had a liteneasy lunch for our dinner.

4:01 am

grannyrose

small serve of pasta, with broccoli and chicken in a cheesy sauce. just right.

4:01 am

sprite

perfect

4:03 am

grannyrose

now, back to what i was asking. how's himself doing? have you another appointment with the specialist? or is the specialist just going to order the machine for Rob

4:04 am

sprite

we are waiting for the specialist go get back at us. How they work is, they collect the data from the machine. Then they discuss the findings in a multi discipline team. And then the specialist gets back to us with the findings and the treatment plan they recommend. So it will take a few weeks.

4:05 am

grannyrose

* sigh * so the waiting game begins. but at least you have started.

4:06 am

sprite

it has not killed him in the last few years, so I am confident he will survive this waiting time. I am happy they take things seriously and have several disciplines taking a look at the findings. Makes me feel they will come up with a solid plan.

4:08 am

grannyrose

brb. nature calls... lol

4:08 am

sprite

hahahaha I know that feeling

4:15 am

grannyrose

ugh. don't you just hate that? felt like i really needed to go, nothing but a lot of hot air., * sigh *

4:15 am

sprite

oh yeah, that is nasty. Ah well, at least you let it fly in the bathroom, not where other people live :D

4:16 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

4:17 am

sprite

and now pin + po5/12 is bugging me

4:18 am

grannyrose

ikr? drove me crazy too

4:19 am

sprite

ah well, at least my favorite organ is in the grid. As is our dear freep.

4:20 am

grannyrose

ruru's favourite too....

4:21 am

sprite

:D

4:34 am

grannyrose

bought myself a new toy today. a small ball to exercise my hands and fingers. you know the ones? soft but in varying degrees of firmness.

4:34 am

sprite

oh nice! You are getting so strong.

4:34 am

grannyrose

i'm talking about the ball, not my hands and fingers...

4:35 am

sprite

so was I, so was I... :)

4:35 am

grannyrose

uh huh....

4:37 am

sprite

*innocent face*

4:38 am

grannyrose

*zipping lips and fingers * trying very hard not to mention Don at all...

4:38 am

sprite

lololol

4:39 am

sprite

"Don't worry, love, you are in good hands. I trained mine on another ball..."

4:39 am

grannyrose

* explosive laughter * no emoji for that...

4:46 am

sprite

could you give me a little nudge toward the ep7? Please?

4:47 am

sprite

it is my last word, am stumped

4:50 am

sprite

nm, fireflies. Bye hun, hugs

4:54 am

grannyrose

6:37 am

machelle

pite

7:55 am

hokie carla

wondering what another word for heavy drinker is since eptoper is not a word

7:57 am

hokie carla

oh, now I see. not heavy drinker but to drink heavily.ends in verb form.

8:23 am

hokie carla

ooh, 2nd col gray. that other i took way too long but how fitting.

8:47 am

MollyL

Some of the g words are whacky

8:47 am

phaeton

I'm still trying to get the heavy drinking clue

8:48 am

hokie carla

it's ep + a letter + to drink heavily

8:48 am

hokie carla

or ep + a generic pronoun + shakespearean opposite of close

8:48 am

Kateq

ep7 = ep_ pen + drink

8:49 am

ChampFit

Slept in for the first time in forever and the G's aren't happening. Thx for letting me know they're whack.

9:03 am

rururocks

9:32 am

hurshy

9:32 am

hurshy

hurshy

9:38 am

rururocks

9:38 am

MollyL

Well, thanks to an inept Instacart shopper (who is currently unreachable) I got a free bag of groceries. Of course with my luck, it was the bag of some healthy eater, so all fruits and vegetables. Where is the Ben & Jerry's lover when you need them?

9:39 am

hurshy

maybe they aren't in5, maybe they are trying to give you a hint, on purpose, lol

9:41 am

MollyL

Well, I got my bag of fruits and vegetables. This one is overkill. I will bring some of it in to work.

9:41 am

MollyL

And Ben & Jerry's is never in my food budget.

9:42 am

hurshy

good time of year for sharing the bounty of the earth, harvest season

9:43 am

MollyL

Someone I work with brought in a half bushel of fresh picked apples. I made some killer applesauce Friday night (party girl that I am)

9:43 am

hurshy

ooh, found the 9!

9:44 am

hurshy

nice

9:45 am

hurshy

my cousin does a cranberry-applesauce for thanksgiving and gave me the recipe, i quite like it

9:48 am

ChampFit

That sounds good!

9:49 am

hurshy

Fs Finished!

9:52 am

hurshy

Ns Nailed!

9:52 am

ChampFit

Why doesn't it take the "one who does" of poop?

9:53 am

hurshy

ours not to reason why

9:57 am

hurshy

ugh, i hate when i'm still sleepy in the morning

9:58 am

ChampFit

My daughter bought sideline access to the Texan game today. She's having a ball at the buffet as we speak.

10:00 am

rururocks

football is such a big deal in texas.. makes it fun

10:02 am

ChampFit

We have a really nice stadium, and they're doing well this year, so it is a lot of fun. They aren't allowed to take pics, damnit.

10:02 am

ChampFit

Gotta get ready for mass. Back later!

Hello friends. Back with brekkie.

(in the process of emptying out the fridge for the winter. i hate throwing out food, so lots of mixed up meals for the next day or two)

10:26 am

BzznBea

We are eating heavy today. Mr. B has to swallow a camera on Tues, so no food tomorrow.

10:26 am

welki

poor guy :(

10:27 am

welki

our neighbors cooked dinner for us last night - we've had enough to eat the last two meals to last us a long while

10:29 am

rururocks

swallow a camera why?

10:29 am

BzznBea

They want to rule out a GI bleed in the small intestine.

10:32 am

rururocks

oh wow.. hope it goes ok for him

10:32 am

BzznBea

Thanks.

10:32 am

rururocks

10:33 am

hurshy

10:34 am

BzznBea

Retrieval will be fun.

Winston and I did a little walk. it was nice.

10:52 am

BzznBea

Has it turned cold there, Carla?

10:52 am

hokie carla

I am at Hilton Head, so pretty hot

10:53 am

10:53 am

hokie carla

10:54 am

BzznBea

I haven't found any ps words, but still have many Ps yet to find.

10:54 am

hokie carla

I haven't found any hurshy but have 2 p's left there.

10:54 am

hurshy

if you haven't read PG Wodehouse's short stories about golf, you should. they collected them in a Golf Omnibus

10:55 am

hurshy

ok i caught up to you having 2 Ps left there

10:55 am

hokie carla

ok, I will check that out

10:56 am

rururocks

It is a hard book to putt down I bet!

10:57 am

hurshy

yeah i read the hole thing

10:57 am

hokie carla

gotta have the drive to read

10:57 am

rururocks

That’s the only fairway to do it

10:57 am

hokie carla

can you swing it?

10:58 am

hurshy

you just gotta divot a chance

10:59 am

hokie carla

that pun is on par with ruru's

10:59 am

hurshy

it wasn't too rough?

11:01 am

hokie carla

sometimes punning is a hazard

11:01 am

hurshy

yeah, that's true no matter how you slice it

11:06 am

hurshy

oh, i just remembered seeing that the 10 is pi10 - is that the upper or the lower P tile?

11:10 am

hokie carla

I just assumed upper but I have not found it yet

11:10 am

hokie carla

ooh, just found it

11:10 am

hokie carla

almost said it's not a pi9 that's a phantom and then tried a similar

11:11 am

hokie carla

ha! the def is the phantom pi9

11:12 am

hokie carla

doh, just found the wine

11:12 am

hurshy

so... did it end up being from the upper or the lower?

11:18 am

11:21 am

welki

11:21 am

hokie carla

I tend to not see compound words on my own

11:21 am

rururocks

you have to go out on a limb for some of the words in the grid

11:21 am

hokie carla

branching out with your chatting I see

11:22 am

rururocks

just trying to spruce up the conversation

11:22 am

BzznBea

11:25 am

rururocks

at least we don't need to conifer to come up with more puns

11:25 am

hurshy

so in case anyone didn't notice we still need one other 8

11:26 am

BzznBea

We could pine away looking for it.

11:26 am

hurshy

you'd have to be quite a sap to do that

11:26 am

rururocks

it's hard to deciduous how to find it

11:28 am

hurshy

phantom: siphon

11:29 am

BzznBea

11:31 am

hurshy

11:31 am

hurshy

op8 is a baby op5

11:31 am

periwinkle

ty hursh and ruru for op8

11:32 am

rururocks

11:32 am

BzznBea

11:32 am

periwinkle

11:33 am

MollyL

Okay, everyone clue in unison

11:33 am

hurshy

phantom: pinpo5

11:35 am

hurshy

urf, i think i'll list

11:41 am

periwinkle

fe8 please

11:41 am

hurshy

po7 right before the Vatican guy?

11:43 am

hurshy

fe8 based on fe5, to make a fake-out move

11:44 am

periwinkle

not getting your clue, what is a fake out movie?

11:44 am

hurshy

not MOVIE, MOVE

11:44 am

periwinkle

oh

11:45 am

periwinkle

don't think I have the right fe5

11:45 am

hurshy

the 5 and 8 come first in the list of Fs

11:46 am

BzznBea

peri, you might fa5 (not in grid) or pass out. Change the first vowel.

11:46 am

periwinkle

thank you both. got them

11:51 am

hurshy

i'm reading Barnaby Rudge by Dickens

11:52 am

hurshy

it's centered around the Gordon ri4s, which i hadn't known about before, from 1780 - in London, anti-Catholic craziness.

11:54 am

hurshy

all so silly too - they had these anti-Catholic laws on the books, about them not serving in the military or something, that were like 100 years old and not really being enforced, so they wanted to formally get rid of them, and then people ri4ed over it and lots of people died

11:55 am

hurshy

in a way it is reassuring to see that things were as awful and stupid then as they are now

11:55 am

rururocks

not a fan here of the Catholic church

11:55 am

hurshy

me neither but the point is, there was no sense in them ri7 over taking away laws that weren't really being enforced anyway

11:56 am

hurshy

and they were fighting the americans at the time and they needed all the soldiers they could get for that so they just wanted to make it easier for people to join

11:56 am

rururocks

They probably had their crosses to bear..

11:57 am

hurshy

well the alleged fear was that Catholic soldiers would turn on them and join with European Catholics to attack England

11:57 am

hurshy

like how people feared JFK would take orders from the po4. but more violent.

12:01 pm

hurshy

there, done at last.

12:02 pm

hurshy

finishing this grid feels like that seinfeld joke about getting the restaurant bill at the end of the meal - why are we buying all this food, we're not hungry!

12:05 pm

MollyL

And yet people keep playing

12:16 pm

hurshy

well not every grid feels that way. just describing this grid.
