4:03 am

I think we could use a few s's

4:05 am

4:06 am

{{hugs}} liz girl

4:06 am

Hi and hugs Rose and Ruby - only here for a few minutes.

4:07 am

4:07 am

Hot and sticky - hate humidity! And you?

4:07 am

hello liz and rosie

4:07 am

4:07 am

watching the news is unbearable. How are you two holding up?

4:08 am

Not liking this grid any more than I did yesterday's!

4:08 am

On balance, Rose, no!

4:08 am

with you ruby...i have been in tears tonight.

4:08 am

Fans and air con are useful :)

4:08 am

this grid is gonna do your head in liz. it's a b***h.

4:09 am

38 left - and I've just used the dictionary for the 10s. I sort of knew what they were but got fed up faffing around them!

4:09 am

me, too, last night, It's all horrible. Thank you for the Maori calendar, Rose, I have always been a fan of their art.

4:09 am

4 x 10's for goodness sake, and 3 of them are s words.

4:09 am

Have either f you collected any?

Got to go - back in an hour or so. Hugs to you both :)

4:10 am

ugh...you're...

4:10 am

4:11 am

4:11 am

the art, but I wouldn't mind stats for the 10's

4:12 am

no10/84...si 10/84 x 3

4:20 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. We were done pretty quickly, so here I am :)

4:20 am

4:21 am

hin, the grid is an absolute b***h. my hair hurt by the time i finished....lol

4:22 am

lolllll :D

4:22 am

yes, quickly is a good sign. All is well in that department, everything paid for and ready for Xmas.

4:23 am

oh, i am so pleased, hin. such a relief!

4:23 am

awwww just read your email. You are such a darling, you know that, right? *squeaky hugs*

4:24 am

* nice huggles from sprite*

4:25 am

can't wait to collect personally from sprite, ruby and puglet.

4:25 am

we soooo need to do that for real.

4:25 am

snap :D

4:25 am

roflolllll, snap

4:26 am

did you see my post at 2:59??

4:27 am

sorry to hear about the pain. It is so awful when your muscles need the exercise but your bones won't let you. I know how that feels. Totally rotten.

4:27 am

looked it up just now. Lol! Men...

4:27 am

i didn't want to get out of the pool...and neither did don...lol

4:28 am

ah well, can't complain...he IS doing all the cooking....( well mostly anyway )

4:28 am

Hehehe ikr! As long as you are in the warm water, all is relatively well. But once you give gravity a chance, it grabs you and makes everything hurt so bad. And then you still have to dry off and get dressed.

4:30 am

and as i took an endone yesterday, i am not wanting to take another today. did i tell you about the the panadeine forte and oxycodone conversions?

4:30 am

so close to sissies

4:31 am

*giggle* change the first vowel

4:31 am

yes you did, and how the oxycodone is actually lower in morphine conversion. And indeed, no, you should not take it too soon after the last one, or you will creep back to dependency. *soft healing vibes to your sore bones*

4:32 am

thanks! *puts one foot in PB*

4:32 am

thanx my darling...yeah i know....bed time so4. * sigh * i sooo love my bed.

4:33 am

I hear ya! That moment when you lie down in bed and can give up the fight for a couple of hours. And then once sleep takes over, blissful oblivion for a bit.

4:34 am

exactly....unless himself starts his nocturnal opus...

4:34 am

ah... the reason Rob and I sleep apart. We both snore so horribly. Keeping eachother awake. Not a good thing.

4:36 am

* sorry face * yeah ikr....but i am the one who 'needs' the CPAP...and don doesn't. he only has mild sleep apnoea.

4:38 am

our weight isn't helping either. But well... it is as it is, right? It's tough enough getting through the days!

4:39 am

phantom: vision

4:44 am

one V missing. So far so good. But I think I start seeing what you mean. Slowing down before halfway is never a good sign.

4:44 am

awww, sprite....

4:44 am

sprite, vi7/40?

4:45 am

*hugs rose* Luvu, hun. Lots.

4:45 am

yes, that is the missing one then :) Thanks for the stats.

4:46 am

mmmmm....lips zipped

4:46 am

hehehe the clue is burning on your tongue?

4:47 am

it's not a word i have seen before.

4:48 am

never seen it before either...but got it ! Thanks Rose

4:48 am

hellox

4:48 am

I think vinologies should be valid. The study of wine.

4:49 am

4:49 am

4:49 am

4:50 am

4:50 am

yeah...and i, like,use it everyday...

4:50 am

4:50 am

4:50 am

4:51 am

4:51 am

4:51 am

hey crossy :D *hugs* How are you and Mrs Elegant?

4:51 am

and HERE'S crossy.

4:51 am

((sprite)) WE are both well, but my beloved is still asleep.((rose))

4:52 am

today I have my optomistic face on....

4:52 am

oh yes, Kallia. Give me a definition of assologist and I will add it to our dictionary!

4:52 am

the sleep of the innocent. Let sleeping Elegants lie.

4:52 am

cuppa in hand, crossy?

4:52 am

*giggles @ optomistic face*

4:52 am

Assologist-- someone who always has a place to park their bicycle:)

4:53 am

um... that one went right over my head, crossy, sorry

4:53 am

assologist....one who studies the baser side of man?

4:53 am

beautiful. In it goes!

4:53 am

sprite, did i tell you? i folded, sorted, and ironed all of yesterday's wash? i sat down of course...and feeling so chuffed.

4:54 am

oh, my, crossy....you naughty man

4:54 am

a play on a old joke, sprite.. we often say to bury me upside down so the world can kiss my arse" and the reply is 'will do, then I have a place to park my bicycle"

4:54 am

optimist I meant.....

4:55 am

you are getting a new routine, rose, wonderful! Am so proud of how you are doing all this. Smart lady. Wise woman.

4:55 am

*smooch* sprite. thanx hin.

4:55 am

oohhhh ok! Didn't know that joke, grin.

4:56 am

I am not awake yet, cut me some slack:))

4:56 am

kind of reminds me of what I always tell my kids when we are roughhousing... if you hit your mother, your arm will grow out of your grave as a pissing pole for dogs.

4:56 am

now there is one I have not heard of:))

4:56 am

other name for the pre-natal crack exposed when a man's trousers/jeans slide down?? plumber's crack....of course.

4:57 am

lol Sprite never heard that either

4:57 am

I knew you meant optimist, Kallia. But a great typo. So... what is beneath the optimist face? Let it out here and we will support you and make you feel really better.

4:57 am

actually, a tradesman crack...it is usually only seen at that point of time.

4:57 am

it is a dutch saying

4:58 am

my car will be ready today! Its spent more time at the garage than I've had it !

4:58 am

I am forever the optimist-- the alternative is to just walk off a bridge;)

4:58 am

I hope that is.....optimist I may be....we shall see

4:59 am

kallia, are the garage paying your insurance?

4:59 am

oh rose, I have seen a T-shirt that depicts a sexy woman, on the back side of the T-shirt, and her decolleté is the plumber's crack when it becomes visible.

4:59 am

oh, my, sprite...roflollll

5:05 am

has the 5am reset finished?

5:05 am

most go soap down this amazing mass of muscle... biab;)

5:05 am

5:06 am

ok, here is a picture of the Tshirt: http://tinyurl.com/mmktucv

5:06 am

5:10 am

grabs being the operative word....not backward in coming forward for a grope.

5:10 am

lol... I just tried tinsoil 3 times because I was certain it is a world. But that is tinfoil. And yes, I go to the sin bin for the soil word, sowwy.

5:10 am

5:12 am

5:12 am

5:16 am

g'day scrabs

5:17 am

yahoo une!!! gooo girl.....

5:17 am

I woke up up 0420 (2 hours ago) and was wide awake. My night was over. I hope I am not too cranky this afternoon.

5:18 am

awwww, scrabs....you are never cranky.

5:18 am

I try to not show it even if I feel it.

5:20 am

thanks Scrabs, and hi :) Yours and mine can be friends.

5:20 am

Hi and hugs :)

5:20 am

for me, I found that just saying that I am cranky makes it less so.

5:21 am

Liz! :) *hugs* right back at you. How are you today?

5:21 am

Remy was running around here a few minutes ago and he is eating his salad now. He will come back. He jumps on the couch, hops on the back, sneaks behind me, and then taps my shoulder with a paw. That is how he gets my attention so I pet him. So sweet.

5:21 am

Exhausted - hot and humid here - drains all the energy.

5:21 am

Hi Liz.

5:21 am

Strong smell of fire outside, this evening.

5:22 am

Hi scrabbs

5:22 am

aaawww scrabs :-)

5:23 am

Isn't it so sweet? Bunnies are very sociable and smart.

5:23 am

awww Scrabs that is so sweet!

5:23 am

Really cute

5:23 am

okay??? 3 screens in one eye ball?? i am thinking i need to fall in4 bed.

5:23 am

I hear ya, Liz. I cannot stand humid heat. Saps all energy until all you can do is lie still under a fan and hope for it to cool off.

5:24 am

3 screens in one eyeball???

5:24 am

Aw, Rose, go to bed.

5:24 am

liz...we are thinking and praying for youall, hin.

5:24 am

howdy, scrabby. I also woke up shortly before 5 am--god, I miss sleep:/

5:24 am

Ridiculously hot today - hit 38 / 40 C at one point.

5:24 am

are there fires near you, Liz, like in America?

5:24 am

Thanks Rose

5:25 am

Not sure Sprite - yes, we get fires here and I can certainly smell fire tonight.

5:25 am

eye-lids drooping here..

5:25 am

scary, Liz :( Please be ok?

5:25 am

Aw poor Rose - sleep well :)

5:25 am

I wanted to sleep til 0600. And I am on-call today. Grrrr.

5:25 am

We'll be fine - we'll run (drive) if we need to. No heroics here.

5:25 am

I will send you some of our rain, Liz. All our snow is melting:((

5:26 am

ah, rose :) Go to bed, hun. I love your company, but not at the cost of you hanging on to the mouse for dear life. Dream good dreams :)

5:26 am

*smooch*

5:26 am

that is good, Liz. Heroics are not at all recommended for health.

5:26 am

Thanks Crossy - I'm sure you'll have plenty more snow.

5:26 am

Same here, Crossy. I want snow, lots of it, so I can cross-country ski and snowshoe!

5:26 am

oh, my...sprite is sooooo good., xxxx to you all.

5:27 am

Hugs, Rose

5:27 am

my poor snowshoes have yet to enjoy a trail this year:(

5:27 am

*hugs rose*

5:28 am

I snowshoed on Sunday and some of my thighs muscles are till sore.

5:28 am

Another grid with obscure words - sigh :(

5:29 am

yeah it is a tough one. I like it.

5:29 am

I just looked at the list--so many big G words.

5:29 am

I'm too tired - gave up struggling about 10 words ago! 28 left now.

5:30 am

getting there. Monkeying around with the endings to get the biggies.

5:31 am

my daughter in Maine has already used her snowshoes a LOT :-)

5:31 am

I messed around with them for ages - then gave up! I knew what the endings should be, but just couldn't get to the words.

5:32 am

I just found a person with a knowledge of Chinese. And their fields of studie.

5:32 am

on Thanksgiving she went to a potluck dinner where everyone was invited to bring food AND their snowshoes :-)

5:32 am

study* in proper english, sigh

5:32 am

mmm :(( Freezing rain warning for this afternoon:(

5:32 am

Fun, Une!

5:32 am

oh wow Une. Lucky her :)

5:33 am

they hiked before dinner :-)

5:33 am

working up an appetite, no doubt

5:33 am

I want to do some full-moon night hikes this winter, with headlamps.

5:34 am

the ol 7/36 - always makes me laugh. There was a fantastic series of adverts in the UK with actor Maureen Lipman, so proud of her son, who'd completed uni and got an ol 5 (the singular)

5:34 am

Now, that would be fun:)

5:34 am

ooohhh scrabs -- sounds like a movie :-)

5:35 am

must look it up. Is it anything like an eulo**?

5:35 am

It could be a horro movie--coyotes, bears...

5:35 am

LOL!

5:35 am

No - like a subject

5:36 am

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEfKEz\nX9QLE I didn't remember quite right - but this is one of the ads.

5:37 am

Oops! Hope I didn't break the chat!~

5:37 am

Fine here

5:38 am

Seems OK - forgot to tiny url it!

5:40 am

omg.... this dress. I am in love. Too bad they don't have it in my size. http://tinyurl.com/lba3c67

5:40 am

better tinyURL links, Liz, lol.

5:41 am

Yes, I know - I forgot! Lovely dress - esp the colour.

5:43 am

There are 3 si10's....hm

5:43 am

*giggles* I forget too sometimes. You didn't break the chat at all, but I know I have, in the past.

5:43 am

2 are a combo, Scrabs, and the other differs only with one letter.

5:44 am

lol @ the advert. brilliant.

5:44 am

There were a series of them - back in the 80s I think. They made our family laugh!

5:46 am

That is appalling grammar - told you I was tired!

5:46 am

we still got you, Liz ;)

5:47 am

More help on those si10's, please?

5:47 am

I know but I hate making that type of mistake!

5:47 am

Good morning.

5:47 am

5:55 am

5:55 am

5:57 am

6:01 am

Just going to take it easy, catch up on my reading

6:01 am

reading for fun is so nice.

6:02 am

Yes, just got a new ebook from the library and looking forward to reading at other times rather than when I am in bed ;)

6:03 am

:D Which one did you get?

6:04 am

It's called The Massey Murder, about a true story that took place in Toronto in 1913. I had never heard the story before. I have started it and it is very well written. The member of a famous family (yes, related to Raymond Massey) was murdered by his 18 year old maid.

6:04 am

gruesome!

6:05 am

I have learned a lot already. There used to be a Woman's Court where men were not allowed access.

6:06 am

Other than the judge and lawyers of course

6:07 am

wow never knew that

6:07 am

Anyway, have to run. Take care.

8:17 am

You've never heard about the PB = Penalty Box here for posting grid words in the chat?

8:17 am

don't worry joseph, there is usually great food and drink in there

oh...

8:18 am

Virtual comfort food.

i guess i may have seen something mentioned but i didn't quite get what was going on

8:18 am

And alcohol, and a hot tub...

doesn't sound like much of a penalty

8:19 am

It's all in good fun. Just a gentle reminder not to give words away in chat.

8:19 am

slog

i was so caught up in the humor that i forgot to think about the shorter word

8:19 am

8:24 am

Honestly, what would you do with a fjord?

8:25 am

Think of the property taxes and the upkeep.

My mom died peacefully last night - I'm in the States at the moment

8:42 am

oh matty, I am so sorry to hear this news, but glad to hear that it was peaceful at least

8:43 am

Sad news, Matty. Condolences and hugs.

8:43 am

Matty, so sorry to hear. Where are you?

Near Philadelphia

She was 82 and had been getting increasingly weak - we turned off life support (we went straight to hospital from the airport when I arrived yesterday)

8:43 am

Not too far from me.

Where are you, Hego?

8:44 am

Poor thign.

8:45 am

In New Jersey at the seashore.

Ah - we're in Bucks County

8:45 am

Beautiful area.

8:47 am

Sorry about your Mom, Matty. Blessings to your family.

Thank you. It's a tough time and so much to do. My brother will take the brunt as he's near and the executor

8:48 am

Best to you and your family, Matty.

8:48 am

It's hard to deal with loss near the holidays. We lost my mother-in-law last year around this time.

8:49 am

That is hard.

8:50 am

My MIL is currently in a nursing home. 92 years old. Sort of wavering between good days and bad. Congestive heart failure. Her one lung keeps filling up with fluid. We keep expecting to get "the call" in the very near future. Hope she hangs on until after Christmas, but it might not happen that way.

8:51 am

Sorry to hear Judi. I feel so sorry for these poor old dears.

8:52 am

She is getting good care and has lots of family members who live near by and visit often, so there is that comfort.

8:53 am

My mother died at 92 and could not wait to be gone. Very sad.

8:54 am

Heavy stuff. *Drinks on the house*

8:54 am

Molly to the rescue!

8:54 am

Bourbon and waffles for breakfast!

9:51 am

one is no 10....like the study of noses (plural)... ;o)

9:51 am

can add an i to that search engine for a word though

9:52 am

9:52 am

the beginning is in my clue...

9:54 am

hmmm ty pen.

9:55 am

i have study of as ol7. not sure how to add nose in there.

9:55 am

just take the first three letters of nose...

9:55 am

drop the e

9:55 am

literally...

9:57 am

trying but no luck. i took the ol 7 and added first three of nose.

9:58 am

plural?

9:59 am

if it does not work there is something wrong with the computer, lol....

10:01 am

did you use the right ol 7?.....not the "person who", the other one....

10:01 am

dont have other one. sorry

10:02 am

the other one is the plural ol word, not the "one who"....

10:02 am

one is the study and the other is the person. i used the study one. and added three letters on, first three.

10:02 am

is your study one ol 7, a plural?

10:02 am

so after the plural one i add the 3 letters, but the N is not near that ending so i think i am not right.

10:02 am

BEFORE the ol one...

10:03 am

sorry, was not shouting, just emphasizing... ;o)

10:04 am

ok will try.

10:04 am

10:24 am

Hello

10:25 am

I guess I'm too particular. I was hoping for a Christmas miracle a little bigger than that. : D

10:29 am

10:30 am

nm - found it

10:33 am

10:46 am

Christmas miracle #2...I made my cookie quota for today

10:47 am

I am so freakin' cooked out. Today is my son's company Christmas shindig and I spent all last night baking.

10:47 am

I need to make 200 cookies for the church's Christmas Day dinner, so I am aiming for 50 a day.

10:48 am

Otherwise, I too would be freakin' cooked out

10:48 am

1 person was asked to bring 200 cookies????

10:49 am

The other person is make about 600. She did it all herself last year.

10:49 am

That's insane.

10:49 am

Some people love to do that.

10:50 am

I can understand loving to bake Christmas cookies, but there is a limit.

10:50 am

one of the advantages of not having company and no plans to go anywhere is that I don't have to cook or bake. The kids will come after Christmas if everyone is healthy (not too likely with a 4 year old and 2 x2 year olds). I just can't afford to get a cold or the flu for the next 3 weeks and risk having my surgery bumped.

10:51 am

Good plan, Cyber

10:51 am

Smart move Nan. My son is just now getting over a bitch of a cold he's had for two weeks.

10:53 am

os 7, please?

10:55 am

Looking for that now as well.

10:59 am

11:10 am

11:10 am

Let me know if you want clues for them Cyber. They all end with one who studies or the plural of that particular field of study.

11:10 am

11:16 am

I am still looking for help with that SO 6/18.

11:16 am

Hi car

11:17 am

Almost the same, drop the vowel at the end and at the plural letter instead

11:17 am

ty car

11:18 am

any time someone would like to clue those si 10's, I'll have my ears and eyes wide open :-)

11:19 am

The first is could be the plural of the study of wrongdoings. The second is the person who may do that study.

11:19 am

The third Si 10 is the plural of the study of what one does in a chair

11:20 am

ty car

11:20 am

11:25 am

needless to say, I had a rum and coke instead

11:26 am

What kills me is the half full $11 dollar glasses of wine that get left on restaurant tables.

11:26 am

11:27 am

YES!!

11:28 am

good thing ruru isn't around -- I suspect he never drinks anything that costs less than $50/bottle

11:29 am

Help with the gi words please...I need all of the 6/7 combos

Open Internet Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Internet Options. Click the General tab, and then, under Browsing history, click Delete.

Hi all. Just finished writing a snailmail letter (yes, I did try snail, it's not in the grid today) to Babbler Haz. Came back to find the 55 words I still need. It's 54 now because I immediately found la6/18 and its plural (the faithful collie who was a famous film star). Hope everyone is well?

I meant 53 now, lol! Maths is not my strong point.

6:53 pm

TY for the no10 clue. Molly.

6:58 pm

Hi TO.

7:01 pm

I've found the male escorts now (gi6.30 and plural). :)

i thought they were cabin boys...

7:04 pm

:) Think Italian, TO. You're going back to the days of Lola and (I've forgotten his name), aren't you? LOL

geez, i'd forgotten all about lola and anj

7:06 pm

Oh, it's going to bug me now until I remember his name!

7:06 pm

Anj! That's it! Thank you, TO! xxx

have you baked for christmas yet?

7:08 pm

Yes, TO. The cakes are all done. They're on my FB page. Will have to make more mince pies and sausage rolls, 'cos people keep eating them. LOL. We're getting all the other stuff to make Xmas meals on Friday. How about you?

i am very sorry we are not fb friends. after the trouble here, i unfiriended a lot of people, mostly because of their connections to others. I pared doen my friends and i rarely post or comment anymore.

7:11 pm

Well, I'm sorry if you unfriended me on there. :(

no,no, we were never friends

7:13 pm

AH! Send me a friend request then.x

how do you manage to keepthem fresh? are they fruitcakes?

7:13 pm

Yes, they are fruitcakes and they're infused with alcohol and so keep almost indefinitely.

i am nearly ready to begin cookies.

7:14 pm

17 words left to find...

gi jacs go!

7:16 pm

Why is it that I now keep finding words I know full well I put in hours ago? Weird!

7:16 pm

What sort of cookies are you baking, TO?

that happens to me, as well.

jan hagels, moravianl ight ginger, and walnut balls for sure. the others are pending.

perhaps trying spritz.

7:18 pm

They sound interesting. Not heard of any of them.

jan hagel are almond shortbread with almond cinnmon topping. walnut balls are butter powder sugar and walnuts rolled in sugar.

moravian light ginger are buttery with only ginger. eggless. used vinegar and soda as leavening.

7:22 pm

FIREWORKS! *~*~*~*~*

YAY!

7:22 pm

They sound really nice, TO. If we connect on FB, perhaps you could rivate message me the recipes?

7:23 pm

Or even Private message me. LOL

yes, i will.

7:24 pm

Thanks. I won't be able to eat any of the cookies while I'm still on my virtually non-fat diet until after my operation, but the rest of the family will enjoy them.

our town had pizzawith santa this evening. i stopped in for a quick dinner after shopping.

jacs, gallbladder?

7:25 pm

Yes, gall bladder, TO.

7:26 pm

Pizza with Santa? That makes a change from milk and cookies. LOL

hope you are so4 healed.

yes! local restaurant sponsors it, pizza, beverages and cookies.

7:27 pm

I watched a film a couple of days ago, 'Secret Santa'. A reporter was trying to track down a Christmas do-gooder called Lucas A. Nast. It took her the whole length of the film, and her supposed to be good with words (?) to work out it was an anagram. LOL

7:27 pm

Thank you, TO. x

7:29 pm

Do you (or anyone else lurking) need clues, btw?

will provide recipes. jan hagels are easy, they are baked in a pan then cut into diamonds afterwards.

7:31 pm

Actually, the US version of what you leave for Santa is milk and cookies, here in UK it's more likely to be sherry and sausage rolls (or whatever tipple Dad likes). LOL

no cutting, dropping or rolling. i think also chocolate crinkles, but trying to figure out how to make them as lemn crinckles. i love lemon in pastry.

:D

also some kind of thumbprint. and a hungarian cream cheese jam cookies are on the maybe list.

7:33 pm

I love lemon in pastry, too, TO, and often put it in the pastry for my mince pies. I also drop a small ball of marzipan (almond paste) into the base under the mincemeat. However, they don't keep well in a tin unless you line it with baking parchment or some kind of greaseproof paper. The lemon reacts with the metal otherwise.

i store cookies inlined tins so flavors don't transfer.some will last a month

7:35 pm

I'm not going mad with baking this Christmas. Not really due to my dietary restrictions but more due to lack of time due to having 3 kittens to run about after 24/7, trying to stop them either destroying the house or themselves. :)

LOL look out for your tree!

7:38 pm

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - loogie is a word

7:39 pm

Not put one up this year except for a little fibre optic one in the front porch, TO.

7:39 pm

evening all

7:39 pm

Enable says it is NOT, dan2bit! So there's an end to it. :)

jacs, message sent.

7:39 pm

Okay, TO. Will go and look.x

x back atcha

7:41 pm

Got it, replied and send friend request so we can reconnect. x

7:42 pm

senT not send.

7:44 pm

Re putting up a Christmas tree with kittens/young cats in the house. My daughter's best friend has a kitten a bit older than my three and he bit through the wire for the lights on her tree before she'd even had chance to plug it in. (Luckily for him!) Admittedly, he is part Bengal and they are known to be destructive.

7:45 pm

Looking at the ear tufts on m 2 gingers and the tortoiseshell, and knowing that their mother was a 'tall Tortie', I think they have Maine Coone somewhere in their chequered pedigree.

i saw the pics, they are too cute!

7:48 pm

TO - Read all the posts entitled Kitten Chaos, if you want to follow them from the beginning. I'm intending to set up a blog, but they haven't given me time yet.

7:48 pm
