12:30 am

sprite

true, dat! Though I will admit I don't fireworks all grids. The bigger ones will stay unfinished for now.

12:31 am

Yeah. It's got to stay fun, not be a single handed chore!

12:31 am

sprite

exactly :D

12:31 am

sprite

12:32 am

justafreep

Well, thanks to the laws of conservation of matter, when you are down a hand, someone is up an extra - this time it was me, so with three hands I have been getting a crazy amount done....

12:33 am

sprite

so unfair. hmphhhfffff

12:33 am

justafreep

I actually typed this in under one second, including fixing two typos. Remarkable, really.

12:34 am

justafreep

Beyond that, I'm fine, too, thanks.

12:34 am

sprite

it is clear it are my missing skills you are using, lol

12:34 am

sprite

ah, good to hear. read. whatever.

12:34 am

justafreep

ha. I mean, yeah. Normally, I would NEVER have a typo OR take that long....

12:35 am

sprite

*giggling like mad*

12:37 am

justafreep

I have also been using the recent grid word "beworm" a lot because it is fabulous

12:37 am

9:25 am

ChampFit

Along with the tiara! Did keep the tshirt for the heck of it.

9:25 am

MollyL

9:27 am

rururocks

I'm selling two houses then actually

9:27 am

hurshy

:O

9:27 am

ChampFit

Ooooh...exciting! You'll be busy.

9:28 am

ChampFit

Have you found an agent? Save yourself some time and money and talk to one soon to figure out what you need to do (if anything) to get them ready.

9:29 am

rururocks

i have a good agent ... I'm doing the stuff to the houses that need updating and hopefully catching a hot market

9:30 am

ChampFit

Spring is the time! Hope all goes smoothly.

9:30 am

rururocks

i'm going up to Washington to look for a new house in April

9:31 am

ChampFit

What's drawing you there?

9:31 am

rururocks

the ocean mostly and no freeways and lower taxes

9:32 am

ChampFit

Sounds lovely.

9:32 am

MollyL

Living by the ocean sounds heavenly.

9:32 am

MollyL

And no freeways.

9:32 am

rururocks

ru is going to be on the deck watching the boats go by drinking coffee with two snoring dogs

9:32 am

ChampFit

PERFECT.

9:33 am

MollyL

Ah, that is the life.

9:33 am

ursh

are there really no freeways in Washington ?

9:33 am

ChampFit

My SIL lives in Hull, south of Boston. That's her view from the living room and deck. Super relaxing! No freeways in that small town either.

9:34 am

rururocks

no freeeways only small roads

9:35 am

rururocks

it's time for me to hang it up soon

9:36 am

ChampFit

Sounds like you have a plan.

9:36 am

ursh

hmmm but the whitehouse is in Washington ?

9:36 am

rururocks

washington state ursh

9:36 am

rururocks

9:37 am

ursh

Aaah ok - sorry I live in deepest darkest Africa :)

9:37 am

ChampFit

Victoria is so pretty too.

9:39 am

ursh

looked at a map - opposite sides - learn something new every day

9:40 am

ChampFit

Then there's no reason you should've known that!

9:40 am

hurshy

phantom: engine

9:40 am

MollyL

Ru, will you be near San Juan Island? I hear it is amazing.

9:40 am

rururocks

I will be able to see San Juan Island from my house I think

9:41 am

rururocks

or at least islands near it

9:41 am

rururocks

depends on what part of town I buy in

9:43 am

rururocks

I'll be able to take a ferry to victoria pretty easily anytime I want

9:44 am

rururocks

I'm probably not going to drive anywhere though for at least six months

9:44 am

ChampFit

Just having down time? Sounds nice.

9:45 am

hurshy

anyone have more than 4 SN words?

9:45 am

MollyL

Who needs to go on vacation when you live in a vacation home?

9:46 am

rururocks

9:46 am

rururocks

9:46 am

ChampFit

I'm at 5

9:46 am

rururocks

me too I have 5

9:46 am

ChampFit

And I still need one from that S.

9:47 am

hurshy

ok and are they all 4 or 5 letters?

9:47 am

MollyL

5 is all there is

9:47 am

rururocks

That is exactly what I think Molly. I won't need to vacation anywhere unless it's ITaly and New Zealand (my bucket list items)

9:47 am

ChampFit

yes

9:47 am

hurshy

ok thanks! left col grey!

9:47 am

MollyL

Someone I work with just came back from Italy and he will not shut up about it.

9:48 am

hurshy

italy is nice

9:48 am

MollyL

It does sound pretty amazing though.

9:48 am

ChampFit

So much to see and do, and all the food is wonderful.

9:50 am

swmbo

I live near the ocean, can see it from my house and no freeways here. But the Atlantic, not the Pacific.

9:51 am

hurshy

i had a funny experience in the train station in rome. there was a young american bloke with a t-shirt that said "I came, I saw, I crawled", and these two Italians who worked at the station but spoke limited English were talking about it to each other. they clearly understood the first two bits but not the third. so i got their attention and i said "I crawled" and i crawled on the floor to show them and then i got up and i said "because..." and i mimed drinking. and they were like, ohhhhhhh.

9:51 am

rururocks

but a lot colder over there swmbo.. i don't like a lot of snow..

9:51 am

MollyL

Ru I would think a wino like you would have gone to Italy before Scotland

9:52 am

rururocks

no.. Scotland has always been in the top two

9:52 am

rururocks

Northern Italy # 3

9:52 am

rururocks

New Zealand # 1

9:52 am

swmbo

Not as cold as you might think. especially the last few years. Barely any snow last winter and last summer was a scorcher. Climate change

9:53 am

MollyL

I thought it got cold and snowy in Washington State.

9:53 am

MollyL

So close to Canada and all that.

9:53 am

rururocks

oh it does but not for too long

9:53 am

ChampFit

That area is more temperate.

9:53 am

swmbo

I think it rains more than snows on the west coast.

9:54 am

MollyL

I couldn't take the Canada cold. We were talking about that yesterday.

9:55 am

swmbo

I agree, I couldn't live in the far north, but where I am? Not so bad.

9:55 am

ChampFit

Wow...Jellyroll is on Game Day right now, and he's really slimmed down.

9:55 am

ChampFit

He just said he's lost 250 lbs.

9:56 am

MollyL

Wow

9:56 am

rururocks

wow that's a whole person

9:56 am

rururocks

and then some

9:56 am

ChampFit

Yes! He's about to try to kick the ball....

9:57 am

rururocks

by the way Molly I made that peruvian chicken dish for some friends and they ate everything I made. it is so delish thanks for the recipe

9:57 am

ChampFit

He had the distance but it went way left...

9:57 am

hurshy

and who exactly is this Jellyroll

9:58 am

rururocks

singer

9:58 am

MollyL

I make that a lot. It's a nice change when you get tired of the same old chicken dishes

9:58 am

ChampFit

He's a singer.

9:58 am

hurshy

then why is he kicking the ball

9:58 am

rururocks

I've made it three times I love the spices

9:58 am

ChampFit

He's like a guest star on Game Day.
