Hi kids.

sorry... was typing a german word....not in grid!

8:41 am

Haha. I see German and Italian words in the grid.

8:42 am

There are RURU words in the grid...;-D

8:43 am

Hm, I will look.

8:45 am

I have to bring my tax package to my CPA this morning and see what the damages are for quarterly estimates for the year and if I have to pay anything in case estimates were off for 2016.

hello scrabbler.

8:51 am

Hi Owl. Done with your taxes?

no. i received 1099-B and I do not know what to do with it yet.

8:54 am

mornin, Dr Scrabs!

i need a cpa

8:54 am

I think I got one of those and I included it in my package.

8:54 am

hah, I just finally saw all the sk words all at once

8:55 am

I Eva and baby K.

8:55 am

hello all

8:55 am

yay, hubby just came home with a new flyswatter! hi all

8:55 am

I have 4 sk words.

8:55 am

Hi MLFAN. And hi Aloy.

8:55 am

can you believe baby K has a cough AGAIN?

8:56 am

hi scrab

8:56 am

FW! there are 7 sk words

8:56 am

oh no Eva, that's awful.

8:56 am

snow melted, Scrabbs? aww, sorry about the cough, Eva..

8:56 am

Does he attend day care? The germs thrive and get shared there.

8:57 am

And little kids get 6-12 colds a year, so expect a lots of coughing. Is he bad, with wheezing again?

8:57 am

yeah. it just keeps making the rounds... he had his 6 month checkup on wednesday + doc said he still has the RSV...chest still sounds awful. she said he may not shake it until may or so...

8:57 am

and don't I know it about the daycare germs haha

8:58 am

our pedi says the average time it takes for a kid to get over a cough is six weeks (!!!)

8:58 am

Yes, the snow is gone from the yard although the ski resort across the valley is covered with snow, sometimes until May.

8:58 am

is the third column top m supposed to be a 7?

8:59 am

MLF - 6/7 combo

8:59 am

mi6/7

8:59 am

it's a 6/7 combo

9:00 am

oh, have to go - happy Babbling folks, ciao for now!

9:00 am

Bye Aloy.

9:00 am

clue pls>

9:00 am

?

9:00 am

she was very happy to see that he has continued to gain weight, just as if he werent sick...so other than this stupid RSV/cough, he is quite healthy!

9:01 am

... to point at a target incorrectly

9:01 am

ty dose

9:01 am

TY

9:02 am

g stats?

9:02 am

Gi 4/7

9:03 am

9:03 am

ty eva and dose

9:03 am

nbt and nbs

9:03 am

I had some respiratory virus from Oct-Dec, probably HMPV. I just coughed and coughed. Our entire staff caught it. We all had laryngitis in the beginning.

people here have been exhiiting flu like illness, they look wiped out. lasts over a week

9:06 am

I tested myself for pertussis early on and that was negative. Pertussis is also called the 100-day cough. Baby K could have that, Eva.

9:06 am

on the up-side, baby K has spent the night in his own crib, in his own room for a week + a half!

alll the coughers in church this weekend!

9:07 am

Yay for you! It means you are teaching him to fall asleep on his own.

yay!

9:07 am

slowly, but surely. trying to, anyway.

9:07 am

he still wakes several times a night, but we are getting there...

what age is the dpt given or has that been abandoned?

9:09 am

Get him attached to a stuffed animal, bring it with him everywhere all day, make him fall asleep with it, put it in his face when he cries...this will make separation anxiety easier when that appears soon, if it hasn't yet.

9:09 am

2, 4, 6, 15 months, and 4-5 years

that is interesting, scrabbler. i once babysat a kid with it. it was horrible. and as soon as mom appreaed, all smiles. she had no idea.

9:10 am

he has a lovey-pacifier...his binky is attached to a little turtle (we already have 2 + just got a third). it goes everywhere with him + is the only thing we allow in the crib with him at night. he sleeps in a sleep sack.

sounds as if he is doing fine with it, evaN. a big milestone.

9:12 am

foun ra 6/7

9:12 am

its an adjustment for all of us. sometimes we all do ok at night...only a few awakenings + we manage ok. other times, hes up every hour + we are so exhausted and frustrated. par for the course, i imagine.

9:14 am

86 left nbt and nbs I will be back

9:15 am

Bye MLFAN

9:16 am

hello....

bye fan

9:16 am

Of course, Eva, you are his #1 security object, but that needs to be transferred somewhat to a stuffed animal.

9:17 am

Hi Maine girl!

9:18 am

hi scrabs...

9:18 am

i thought i had a lunch appt. today, but it's next week.....yea!...don't have to go anywhere until 4:30 (tennis practice)....

9:19 am

Yay for freedome.

9:19 am

And freedom too.

9:19 am

bye TO...

9:19 am

Bye Owl.

9:22 am

9:22 am

OK< I barely made it past halfway. Time to get ready to shop for my mom and visit her.

9:22 am

Enjoy the day, kids!

10:08 am

ty Glant

10:08 am

hello.

10:09 am

I'm back, waiting for a 4PM app't, already more than an hour late!

10:09 am

<<<incredible

10:09 am

hello there ruby

10:10 am

hi everyone -- got half way last night

10:10 am

hi bichon and nan

10:11 am

>>>How can somebody be this late for a biz app't?

10:11 am

If he shows up, I won't even offer a coffee!

10:14 am

think I would find someone else to do buisiness with

10:15 am

>He's from the bank, new to my acount and was probably assigned because he speaks English

10:16 am

<He's an Arab and probably wouldn't be acceptable to a Fr client

10:16 am

ah -- forgot about the language issue --- just assumed that you speak french fluently

10:16 am

I do! It was the bak's choice, not mine

10:17 am

They probably hired him for some affirmative action program, but may have trouble giving him accounts

10:18 am

The French are very racist and classist!

10:18 am

if he can't keep an appointment, I would think so! Your business obviously isn't very important to him.

10:19 am

In my experience,cultural Arabs don't place the same importance on punctuality that Westerners do.

10:19 am

OH -- always found them very friendly and helpful, but then we are always tourists spending money and saying how much we are enjoying our trip!

10:19 am

I'll wait and see as I don't really care, but I'll complain unless he has a very good excuse

10:19 am

That's not a racial issue, per se; it's a cultural one. If he were Turkish I'd have expected him there ten minutes early, apologizing for being late.

10:20 am

That's pobably true, Samantha, but an hgour and a half is insane!

10:20 am

I agree. Maybe he was coming by way of the St. Petersburg Metro. #notfunnyiknow

10:21 am

Have you phoned the bank to find out why he hasn't shown up?

10:21 am

I love the French, alsi finding them hospitable and polite and don't harbor their prejudices

10:22 am

He doesn't come from the local branch; he comes all the way from Evian, about an hour away

10:22 am

Maybe he has the Italian concept of time

10:22 am

OK, I'll call my guy at the local branch

10:23 am

bonne chance

10:26 am

I left a messag for my guy, but it's possible that the local branch is closed on Monday afternoons

10:27 am

I've brought my laptop into the kitchen where I have a lovely view of birds, flowers, mounttains and the front gate

10:27 am

oh that does sound lovely, ruby

10:28 am

It is and waiting here is not so bad, just strange

10:29 am

I'm interested in hearing how this shakes out eventually. Did he just record the date and time wrong? Was there a train line mishap? Tune in next week!

10:40 am

He confirmed twice by e-mail

10:41 am

. . . Then I got nothin'

10:44 am

I have the mi6/7 combo, the ra 6/7 combo, and the to 6/7 combo. Which 7 am I missing, can anyone tell me?

to 6/7

Sorry - can't read this morning!

10:45 am

There's two of them? Oh joy, thanks

10:46 am

Or not. :D

10:46 am

oh clues for those please?

NOt that I knwo - maybe I should check?

10:46 am

I have an ac 7

Can't type either.

10:47 am

mi 6/7 . . . to point at a target and miss, + pl ra 6/7 . . . a pervasive problem in society, + pl to 6/7 . . . the shape of a donut, + pl

Should probably go back to bed and start over - if I can't type, what will I be like running errands?

10:48 am

Got the ac7, thanks so much!

So did I , finally - thanks.

10:50 am

tx samantha!!

10:50 am

got the ra and to thanks --- looking for the mi

daks

SORRY!

10:50 am

ah -- point being the operative word -- strange one

10:51 am

It is weird! It's not quite a babblet but I've never seen or heard it used outside this grid.

10:54 am

NOW, I'm angray: I just called the guy's office in Evian and he said he was in my village and couldn't find my house. Then he complained that he didn't like my tone of voice, that he had reached his limit!

10:55 am

He couldn't find your house, and doesn't have a cell phone? Couldn't call for directions?

10:55 am

Yeah, *bleep* him.

10:55 am

*seeing a new bank in ruby's future

10:56 am

With luck, seeing a new job in his

10:56 am

'll speak to his boss tomorrow. It takes a lot to make me angry

10:56 am

maybe it's just banks --- only place in france we had poor service was at hsbc

10:57 am

This is BNP and we've been private banking customers for almost 19 years!

10:57 am

They've always been terrific!

10:57 am

Especially since my husband died

10:58 am

the paris branch, where we had an account, didn't want to unlock their door for us -- even when we held up our client card for them to see

11:07 am

ty helensgirl

11:10 am

ruby, I will be in Paris for a day in early May. Think we'll go Givenchy

11:11 am

Ruby, I just want to repeat that you're right to be angry. He was rude in not showing up, gave an implausibly excuse, and then compounded that by insulting you.

11:11 am

I know you don't need me to tell you this but I wanted to say it anyway.

11:12 am

It's not like there's a shortage of banks in France

11:12 am

to6/7 shape of a donut? don't get the clue donuts are round to me

11:12 am

I only have the ra6/7

11:12 am

hello all

11:12 am

Givenchy or Giverny (Monet's home)?

11:13 am

sorry, the latter

11:13 am

Google the phrase "shape of a donut" and make the word you get an adjective

11:14 am

If there's time, we're going to go see the windows at Ste Chappelle [sp]

11:14 am

Malmaison, Josephine's home, is near there as well.

11:15 am

Must visit a patissiere

11:16 am

have you been to Paris before?

11:16 am

rehi

11:16 am

yes, a few times and don't want to go to the usual spots in Paris.

11:16 am

can someone give me a different clue for to 6/7 i don't understand the one give?

11:17 am

peri, did that help?

11:17 am

no

11:17 am

to + and**** (a robot of sorts), + pl

11:17 am

Nm figured it out now. never can remember how to make a word an adj

11:17 am

ty Sam

11:18 am

got them as well ty

11:18 am

That's basically the word for a three dimensional circle with a hole through the middle. A donut. And here you thought daydreaming in geometry would be consequence-free!

11:18 am

co 5/18, pls

11:18 am

ac 6/7?

11:19 am

figured so, if you were planning on spending your only day in the countryside

11:19 am

pl of co 4/8, a hairdo

11:19 am

bichon its a pl

11:20 am

There is no ac 6. AC 7 ends like the to

11:20 am

no ac 6-7 -- just a 7

11:20 am

Were there people who DIDN'T daydream in Geometry?

11:20 am

ty fan

11:20 am

yw bichon

11:21 am

Technically I didn't "daydream"; I "slept"

11:21 am

that is a 6?

11:21 am

I could have done with out geometry and algebra

11:22 am

Fireworks. Any more clues needed?

11:22 am

It was Trig that floored me

11:23 am

did not have to take that, bichon

11:23 am

Samantha re clue ac 7 please all i get is a 6?

11:23 am

ac7 pls

11:23 am

I'm pretty sure "trigonometry" and "calculus" are terms dreamt up to make people who aren't in on the secret feel dumb.

11:23 am

a + vehicle + robot ending

11:23 am

ac7 ends like the to6. AC + vowel + and****

11:24 am

ty nan and sam

11:25 am

11:26 am

11:27 am

11:28 am

loved algebra and trig -- calculus beat me to a pulp

11:28 am

Four 7s. AC, MI, TO, RA

11:28 am

funny thing -- i recently talked with a high school match teacher who said everything i learned in calculus is now pointless - aacckk

11:29 am

peri said she has 4 of them and and said she is missing one?

11:29 am

Since I didn't learn anything in calculus, I think that means that I WIN!

11:29 am

MATH not match LOL

11:29 am

une doesn't that figure lol

11:29 am

Yeah. Apparently peri is playing a different grid than the rest of us. Weird. There's an ma6 that might have gotten confused?

11:30 am

of which i don't have

11:30 am

genius doug goodman even TUTORED me in college calculus and I still got a D+

11:30 am

killed me -- i was a nerdy A student LOL

11:31 am

I got a D+ in college hsics and I considered it gift

11:31 am

I think I've got five more minutes before my dog drags me out of here on a leash. Clues, anyone?

11:31 am

sounds like me une --- avoided math and the sciences like the plague that they were for me

11:31 am

*Physics

11:31 am

i hate math.. i have a friend though, who i think majored in elementary school teaching and has been a 5th grade math teacher for at least 10 plus yrs

11:31 am

guess calculus now goes in the trash with slide rulers LOL

11:32 am

until I hit calculus I was a math major . . . sigh . . . moved over to French :-)

11:32 am

mi 6/24, pls

11:32 am

only math I ever really needed was to know the difference between a half note and a quarter note!

11:32 am

nan LOL

11:33 am

mi 6/24 = to point at a target and get it wrong mi + vowel + ai4/5

11:33 am

my daughter's AP math blew me away -- they actually learned to APPLY what they learned -- what a novel concept! :-)

11:33 am

Than pl the whole thing for mi7

11:33 am

back in a bit . . .

11:33 am

ma 6 please -- struggling with it?

11:33 am

11:34 am

cyber at oen point in chorale class i learned to count put a number over each note i 2 3 4 etc when i saw the same note later i would put that number on top of it as its the same from previous

11:34 am

ma 6/30 is hard to clue. Ma + reasonably high point consonant + the first three letters of the dessert ***amisu

11:35 am

ty sam

11:35 am

mi clue not working for me

11:35 am

11:37 am

11:37 am

Nan, you are so much better at cluing than I am. I always end up with these long convoluted phrases.

11:38 am

Aw you're sweet! Haven't been on here in AGES and was so rusty! Thanks for the hints y'all

8:50 pm

I've been here for a short time & am just starting out; this won't be a favorite grid I see

8:51 pm

why's that?

8:52 pm

I keep trying words that aren't words tonight! :-)

8:52 pm

(I want an "e" in this grid

8:52 pm

there are some really obscure words on here, for sure. I do use Lickety's clues to help me, and sometimes just scroll thru Lickety's list of 5 letter words, 6 letter, etc

8:53 pm

but then I look up all the words I've never heard of before and try to learn what they mean...

8:55 pm

Good for you, Natasha. I use More Words for my word list; & I try not to use Lickety's list until I'm over half way through the grid

8:56 pm

Hi all, does anyone have a clue for the mi6?

8:56 pm

hey all, down to 21 today... about to list. :-)

8:56 pm

hi wht. I don't have it yet but will look now.

8:57 pm

Hi stid; feeling better today?

8:57 pm

mi* (prefix) + point at target

8:57 pm

actually not, Nef -- it's just a cold, but I was uncharacteristically running fevers all day long so it has been tiring.

8:58 pm

how are you doing?

8:58 pm

Thaks stid. I was looking at the wrong m

8:59 pm

:-) Took me a loooooong time to find it earlier wht!

9:01 pm

There. Down to 20 and ready to list. brb

9:01 pm

I'm doing ok, I did a quick trip up to my home town this weekend (320 miles north) & have been chilly all day, so I'm assuming I'm still tired from that. (It was to celebrate my sister's B'day, my other 2 sisters came out from Montanaalso)

9:01 pm

And fireworks

9:02 pm

This grid was small but it was a bit of a slog.

9:03 pm

WTG, wht!!! YAY!!!

9:03 pm

Does anyone need any clues before I go?

9:04 pm

I still need 73 more words, wht; thanks for the offer though! :-)

9:04 pm

The robot ending gets a workout Nef.

9:06 pm

Thanks for that clue, wht. I will definitely try it whenever I can.

9:07 pm

Good night all. Happy Babbling.

heya

9:07 pm

Hi MissO

hey nef, how goes it?

9:09 pm

just fine MissO. How about you?

well eough nef, 19 to go and i think the wall may be hit

9:11 pm

It does sound like quite a few people had trouble at the end of the grid

9:13 pm

Top row greyed out!

woo

could you spare a clue for the ar5,1 please?

9:17 pm

Hiya babblers.

hey orgi!

9:17 pm

hi ori

9:18 pm

I don't have it yet MissO but will look with you

9:19 pm

ar + robot ending (trying that with every word thanks to wht)

9:20 pm

Is it the 5/10 you're looking for?

thanks nef xx

9:22 pm

there's a ar 5/10 also, ori?

9:22 pm

sorry ... meant 5/12

9:23 pm

Okay, that was the 1 I clued then.

9:23 pm

How's life treating you today, ori?

9:25 pm

OK, Nef. Spent yesterday converting a planter box into a perennial herb box. Lots of work, but worth it :D

9:25 pm

How about you, Nef?

9:27 pm

Oh, there is a 5/10 also

9:28 pm

Doing okay; squeezed a trip back home in from Friday to Sunday for my sister's b'day (a 640 mile round trip). I'm not used to doing that any more; used to do it a lot but now that the older generation is gone, I don't get up there often.

9:28 pm

back, had to take wally for a short walk ar 5/10 is songs in operas

9:28 pm

ar r/15 is the swollen membranes of sitting infamy ending...

9:29 pm

Thanks, stid & ori.

9:29 pm

Nice to see family Nef1

9:29 pm

Glad you got to your sister's bday Nef

9:31 pm

Yes. My other 2 sisters from Montana drove out too to help celebrate my sisters b'day too. Good to see them; but also good to get back here to my home too.

ac5,12 please?

9:33 pm

Could I have the stats for that bottom row "O" please?

9:34 pm

or4/5

9:34 pm

ear related medical babblet

9:34 pm

Thanks, Harry

9:34 pm

oh sorry ot4/5

9:34 pm

And thanks stid!

9:34 pm

it's actually an ot4

9:35 pm

Got it! :-)

9:35 pm

:-D

9:35 pm

down to 4!

9:36 pm

I feel that way when I travel, Nef. It's always fun to see new places, but it is great to get home

9:36 pm

I'm still looking, MissO.

9:37 pm

ac5 is like the old game manufacturer, but with a C

9:38 pm

It starts on the A in the 3rd column, not in the corner, MissO

9:38 pm

ooooh fw AND nrkii!!!!! :-D

9:39 pm

congrats, Stidmama!

9:39 pm

Hi nikki; haven't seen you for a while. Thanks for the clue!

9:39 pm

YAY, stid!!!! WTG!!!

9:39 pm

Hi nrkii ... haven't "seen" you in ages.

9:39 pm

How's the redecorating going nrkii?

9:39 pm

Contrats stidd!

9:39 pm

nrkii! (sorry)

9:40 pm

I am always redecorating. Never-ending process.

9:40 pm

Lived here 11 years, and still not done.

9:41 pm

Isn't that the truth, nrkii? We've lived in this house & I still have at least 2 more projects I want to do

9:42 pm

(Oops! I meant we've lived here 25 years)

9:44 pm

LOL nrkii -- same here. Always one project or another.

9:47 pm

nrkii!? wow!! welcome back@

9:47 pm

thanks for the warm welcome everyone :)

9:48 pm

I'm usually here most nights, but I've become a lurker

9:48 pm

So much multitasking

9:54 pm

If I disappear at random moments, we are watching the mens' national championship -- Hoping the Zags win.

9:55 pm

Sometimes it's necessary to take a break, isn't it?

9:59 pm

BRB

10:11 pm

backhand I have 45 words left to find.

10:13 pm

go nef go!

10:17 pm

thanks, stid. How are you doing?

10:19 pm

Tired, but the worst of the exhaustion is over and now I am sniffling but not a literal mucous fountain. ;-)

10:21 pm

Do you need clues?

10:23 pm

Not really, I'm now down to 40, & if I feel stuck I'll list.

10:26 pm

Are you done now?

10:28 pm

I finished a while ago.

10:30 pm

Oops! I see that you did finish over an hour ago! :-) (& I cheered for you too!)

10:30 pm

How's your game doing?

10:33 pm

Tied with under 2 minutes to go. A very good match-up.

10:33 pm

ooh. I see it's actually NC up by 1 point now.

10:34 pm

oh-oh

10:35 pm

oh oh NC just got another 2 points

10:36 pm

:-(

10:40 pm

Zags didn't win. BUT -- they made it to the final for the very first time, and against a much larger school. So I think they should be very proud of themselves.

10:41 pm

Okay... I have to get to sleep. I only had one nap today, and will be driving tomorrow so I need to rest up a bit. Have a great week, Nef.

10:41 pm

nice to see you-all *waves to lurkers* *poof*

10:42 pm

We watched them playSaturday night. They were awesome! (I'm not normally a basketball fan; I watch it sometimes but not like my sisters).

10:42 pm

Niters stid!

10:49 pm

good morning all

10:52 pm

Hi sprite! I haven't seen you in a coons' age! How are you doing?

10:52 pm

hiya Nef! Usually play later, about an hour after the flip. I am doing fine, thanks. How are you doing?

10:54 pm

I'm doing okay now. I am now retired & don't work nights or evenings anymore; I usually fall asleep before you come online here now

10:55 pm

sounds wonderful! Are you enjoying the free time?

10:59 pm

Free time?? There doesn't seem to be much of that these days. I'm not sure why people think that retirement is a time for kicking back & relaxing. My husband thinks I'm his private duty nurse (& I guess I am, come to think of it!). His MS is progressing slowly, & his memory is much worse now

11:00 pm

so sorry to hear that. That is pretty intense... indeed not much you-time in that situation.

11:00 pm

We're doing okay though (don't want to give you a bad impression

11:02 pm

I have a lot of things I want to do, there just isn't time to do them. You probably know how that goes, right?

11:03 pm

absolutely :) Days seem to fill themselves and fly past, most of the time.

11:04 pm

Yes! To get things done I need to make lists just like when I was working!

11:05 pm

<--- also a listmaker

11:08 pm

I thought once I retired, I'd have TIME to do hobbies and concentrate on doing 1 thing at a time and there would never be "to do" lists ever again. Boy, was I wrong!

11:09 pm

I guess that is how most of us think of retirement. Finally time for everything. But life can get in the way ;)

11:10 pm

Well, when you put it that way, I'd rather have Life slowing me down rather than the alternative..... ;-)

11:11 pm

*giggles* So true!

11:13 pm

:-D

11:14 pm

How are you doing with the grid (or are you already done?)

11:14 pm

down to 38 now and still some flow in the wordfinding

11:15 pm

how about you?

11:16 pm

is it midnight? sprite is here

11:16 pm

down to 27 now, I did list about 15 minutes ago

11:16 pm

I can set my clock by sprite :D

11:16 pm

*grins* 6.16 am here. I was up crazy early. How've you been, ru?

11:16 pm

nice going, Nef!

11:17 pm

just ok here.. bad week, but it will get better

11:17 pm

Hi ru. Sorry to hear you've had a bad week

11:17 pm

*sends ru a hug* Some weeks are like that, huh. I hope things will get better for you very very soon

11:18 pm

thanks..

11:18 pm

i'll survive

11:18 pm

no doubt. But bad times tend to drain our energy and that sucks.

11:19 pm

Agreed, sprite

11:25 pm

that's very true..

11:25 pm

the story of my life these last few years.. from the peaks to the valleys.

11:26 pm

wish there was something I could do to help, ru. You deserve better.

11:26 pm

thanks..

11:27 pm

I broke up with the woman I was dating.. so I'm adjusting to that

11:28 pm

Oh, no, ru. You seemed to be enjoying her company

11:28 pm

ugh, that is tough. Nothing leading up to such a decision is a good thing :(

11:28 pm

i was.. and i was very attracted to her too

11:29 pm

I'm sorry that it didn't work out. :-(

11:29 pm

it's too bad .. thanks.. the only good thing that came out of it is that i now know that i can have those feelings again.. so that's a plus

11:30 pm

true. So now it is time for someone worthy of those feelings.

11:31 pm

ha.. amen to that.. one good friend said there are plenty of women out there that will be attracted to me

11:31 pm

(you had sounded like you were head over heels with her right from the beginning. Of course you can still have those feelings!

11:31 pm

I just need to regroup a bit and sort this out a little more

11:32 pm

yes, take your time. no rebound actions ;)

11:32 pm

I was nef.. she and i never ran out of things to talk about, she was so nice to be with

11:33 pm

My daughter is going through the exact same thing right now; and spring is supposed to be the season for love I thought.

11:33 pm

i think things were moving faster for me and not for her and she felt a bit pressured by the whole thing and backed out

11:33 pm

sorry for your daughter too, Nef. I hope she can leave it behind her soon too.

11:33 pm

and sprite is right.I told my daughter not to have a rebound relationship too....

11:34 pm

it is her loss, ru

11:34 pm

she knows i'm a nice guy.. maybe that's not what she's looking for.. i'm not sure to be honest

11:35 pm

i'll shut up now

11:35 pm

Maybe she needs to back off & regroup. Or maybe she was on the rebound herself?

11:36 pm

for crying out loud... a nice guy should be requirement #1. You are a great guy, ru. Some terrific lady is bound to realise that and hold on to you no matter what

11:36 pm

well.. her last relationship went kind of badly. so she's been extra cautious and had a lot of barriers

11:36 pm

fear of being hurt can make us do stupid things, that is for sure

11:37 pm

I've been patient about it.. and I thought understanding and easy about it.. but she didn't feel that way

11:38 pm

that is probably more on her than on you, ru.

11:38 pm

it's too bad.. but c'est la vie.. i'm ok with being alone too.. but it was nice for a while to share things

11:38 pm

How long did you 2 date? Maybe it was too fast for someone recently burnt?

11:38 pm

about 5 months

11:38 pm

maybe a bit longer

11:39 pm

sharing with someone special is one of the most beautiful things in life, I think. You will have that, ru, I just know it. With someone who thinks the world of you as well as vice versa.

11:39 pm

we will see sprite.. i'm no spring chicken

11:40 pm

no... a wonderful, experienced, mature man :D

11:40 pm

(My dir. lived with the guy for nearly 4 years; then he told her at 11 PM the night before he closed on a house for himself _they lived in HER house for 2 years! This all just happened in the past 2 weeks.

11:40 pm

well.. part of me is springy :D

11:41 pm

oh bummer nef.. he's been planning and using her then

11:41 pm

oh dear, Nef, what a jerk :(

11:41 pm

hehehe, I bet a part of you always will be, ru

11:41 pm

:D

11:42 pm

how old is your daughter nef?

11:43 pm

ruru, my best friend (since we were 13 years old) had been married for 30 years when she got divorced. She waited 7 years before she felt "ready" to meet someone again. She's now been married for 2 years to someone who deserves to be treated like a king & he treats her like a queen. There is someone (maybe several!) out there who is the right person for you

11:43 pm

some men are just unbelievable jerks.. that's true

11:43 pm

My daughter is 35

11:43 pm

that's a nice thought nef.. here's hoping for that

11:44 pm

some are... and some are wonderful people. I thank God daily for my wonderful husband. I just know there is someone just as special for you out there, ru

11:44 pm

oh.. i'm sorry..she probably was really getting attached to this guy.. ugh.. well... i hope she meets some new nice men then

11:44 pm

female, though ;)

11:45 pm

jeez.. I don't understand women so I was thinking of becoming a monk or going gay :D

11:45 pm

losing your love is hard, but when it goes hand in hand with betrayal, that hurts so much more. Am really sorry for her, Nef.

11:45 pm

I agree with sprite about that ru. There is a fabulous woman out there for you; don't let this rejection get you down.

11:46 pm

that's fireflies for me. Have to go... husband wants a braid in his hair before he goes to work :D *hugs* to you both, and heaps of blessings and healing vibes too.

11:46 pm

bye sprite

11:47 pm

They have agreed to an "amicable separation" because they both love their dog, so they've decided on shared custody for now.

11:47 pm

that doesn't work really..

11:47 pm

not good for the dog

11:48 pm

YAY, sprite! And HAGD too!

11:48 pm

i need to go brush my teeth.. bbiab nef

11:49 pm

The poor dog is just not sure what's wrong right now. The 2 of them took the dog everywhere with them (except work, that is); so she's pretty confused about having only 1 person with her at a time

11:50 pm

Bye, ru. Take care of yourself.
