nbt, nbs, 1/2 way -- enough for tonight. See you tomorrow :)
good morning all
today we better not ask for a hi4 in the ch4
good morning dear friend. my neighbour called in for a chat yesterday. prone to bouts of severe depression which i can usually talk her through. thank heavens. she says talking to me is the same as talking to her counsellor, but cheaper. lol... in fact slightly better as she gets a small glass of wine as we talk.
*hugs rose* Hello darling. Sounds good.
oops... pb for me...* slinks off with sprite's sangria spiker*
how are you honey? is it an at-home day for you?
am about to run off again, busy day today. Vet, volunteer job, lodging complaint at the police station.
and that answers those questions....
true :)
and i'll bite... police station?
road rage. Some guy wanted to drive 130 while due to rush hour max was 70... got on my bumper... I made way for him as soon as I could... and he cut me off so sharply he hit my mirror.
not good. i hope he has a really good excuse for the police.
rather, not so good. a lesson must be given and learned.
it is a miracle he did not cause a ... what do you call that? Lots and lots of cars crashing together? I still don't know how I managed to keep my steering wheel under control. Must have been my guardian angel doing the driving.
it's unsettling when you try to do the right thing, and you are left *hurt*
pile-up??
not sure. We call them chaincollisions, 'kettingbotsingen'.
hmmm... domino effect also perhaps? reporters here usually say multi-vehicular pile-up.
anyway, he was driving carelessly and should be brought down.
anyway, scary as hell. Was in shock when I came home. But lucky and grateful I got home at all. HOney, got to go, *hugs*
HUGS XOXOXOX
half and good morning
I'm hoping Dorian flattens Mar-a-Lago
or ruins Doral CC
toped
sorry
SO amen Ruby{{
both would be excellent
Hello Jayk
I looked at your profile. I used to go to Atlanta fairly often on biz as we had a little factory just outside to the Southwest. I Don't remelber the town, but one could certainly eat very well ther
And I go to Paris every year. I'm addicted.
To Paris? I've become a country person now that I'm old, can't deal with crowds etc
this year might be the last one for me. i'm closing in on 80.
I'm 76, but can't travel anymore. Where do you stay?
In the 6th near the Lux
Do you know the iris garden adjacent to the small mineral museum in the Lux? I've only seen it in flower once as the timing is limited
I do!
You are the only person I've ever met who has seen it
babble is a wonderful thing
Yes
The mail just came with my Int'l NYT . If you send me a note via e-mail, we can discuss Paris etc without monopolizing the chog
Bye
OK
Omg....glad Sprite made it home ok!!
It was a nasty experience, for sure. Hello, Une.
Hey, Haz!
There you are! Obviously doing your first run through with the grid?
No....started last nite while watching the US Open :-)
Ah, still supporting Rafa?
Of course!! :-)
He's certainly still a force to be reckoned with.
Yes! And now also enjoying Coco Gauff!
She was so lovely to watch at Wimbledon, so calm and assured.
Such an amazing talent
It's going to be interesting to watch her develop. It's a tricky balancing act between giving her enough tennis to improve but not too much to burn her out.
And she doesn't screech.
Yes!reat to see you, Haz --
You too.
Oops...thumb slipped!
Must take pups out to pee .....byeeee
Toodle-oo!
ma----
Name that proper noun: Egyptian goddess
also a greek underworld figure in the grid today

hello
howdy mlfan. I am not liking today's grid. yesterday's was so nice. I do have NBS/NBT, but still 10 to go to get halfway.
I saw that In chat that no one is liking it today
i only have 22 words right now. yesterday's i actually did pretty well on my own
but had some help as you know. i was hoping for a bigger grid
I took a break as I am struggling to get even close to halfway.
scrab i haven't gotten nbt yet
normally this size grid is okay, but there must be a lot of non-everyday words
Odd distribution of letters.
when i saw the word count and looked at the grid itself they didn't seem to "match"
Well, duh.
or they don't seem to
That was about my comment, not yours, MLFAN.
lol np scrab
NBT but I have no 7's
maybe a day I hit the list before halfway
I have a 7 but don't rem. getting it.
ah, tr7/40
Haha, Carla.
i looked in the chat and saw a clue for tr7
yeah that one
I have not looked in chat yet, guess I should
Which T?
middle
that's the only one with an r next to it unless I'm looking wrong?
i started doing it more often
so close to having a torpedo
yes i think its the middle
hey, I found foreign money, do I get a cookie?
does it count?
third column a?
yes, di5
at4
