Oh, a dwarf

not seeing any of these 7's -- time for bed
or7
38 left here, thinking of calling it a night, good night
rain, i have a co8, compound word. is it related to your co7?
there are 2 co7s and 2 co8s
s'okay. it's not. co8, not related to rain's co7 and co8
I have 1 set and they are related, but am still looking for the others
FWs
great job!
WTG JESSMOM !!!
just got co 7/8 with a double i in it....thanks to morewords
FW - last word the dwarf with hayfever :)
morning all
Morning all. Does anyone have stats for the O in the top row, please?
or 6/21
and or 7/32
Good moring, Looks like the sun has also gone into quarentine !
It has indeed, though it's supposed to get nice again next week
And thanks for the Os, Dippnall!
i hope so, ive put the heating on again brrr
I haven't quite resorted to that. We'll see how the house feels later (and my feet, specifically, which seem to get very cold)
Bad circulation, some bed socks maybe :)
Aah, but then my feet get too hot! I can't win
one off and one on lol,
that's what men are for matty
I was thinking that was such an open door for you Ru, but didn't expect you to be up at this hour. : D
can't sleep.. went to bed too early
i'll try to go back to bed in a few.. i hate just tossing and turning all night
Yeah, that will happen to me if I go to bed too early.
easy grid.. back to bed for me.. see you later
Sweet dreams, smarty pants
Haaaa! (Just back, having showered, dressed, contemplated the existential dread of existence.)
back for another look/ got 2x co8, what's the last 8?
I've no idea - the only 8 I have is the weird co8 (because of morewords) - can you nudge me on the other, please?
co8/45=pointy prombosis
would have expected it to be reversed
That did it - thanks!
That's...backwards though. It'd be like saying ridejoy. Or cabtaxi.
(snap)
If they are going to put all these restrictions on grocery shopping, then I think people should have to take an idiot test before entering. 80% of the wouldn't get in.
*of them
What restrictions are in place where you live?
Must wear a mask, must stay 6 feet apart (people are not) must follow the arrows (people are not)
Plus, they had the section where I usually get my chicken police taped off because they were stocking it. So I got to buy all the expensive meat. Yay me.
The UK government are still not recommending masks for the non-caring well (i.e. for people who are not caring for someone with COVID).
But yeah, shopping is like playing pacman - avoid the ghosts, eat the fruit
To me, wearing anything but an N95 mask is like putting up a chain link fence to keep out the mice. Aesthetically, it looks good, but in reality, it is not keeping anyone "safe".
Good luck finding one in the UK - even medical staff are struggling with the lack of PPE. And dying.
No, I wouldn't get them for my personal use. Medical people need them.
Yarp. And they need to be worn properly and, I suspect, many lay people (myself included) wouldn't know how to do that
If people would just keep a safe distance, the masks would not be necessary. However, as previously stated, many people are idiots.
I waited for five minutes while this woman stood staring at potatoes. Really? They are potatoes. Pick some, put them in a bag and move on.
Also, many supermarket aisles are very narrow and, of course, there is always a danger from someone in an adjoining aisle. It's complicated. It always is. These are less than super fun times.
A mask, any mask, protects other people from you. The virus travels by droplet when you talk, cough or sneeze. And because many people are asymptomatic, without a mask they may be unwittingly spreading the virus.
Enable question of the day: Why can you not plural the Hawaiian goose?
Good morning all.
MOrning Bea, I believe the plural of that word is the same as the singular.
And yowzer is not a word?!?!?!
Morning,monkey.
LOL I thought the word was yowsah
There is also the fact that there is not an S in the Hawaiian language.
Yep
Bea how's everything in North Kackalacky this AM?
It is rainling here this morning. Had plans to work in the yard today. Maybe this afternoon...
How are you doing?
Rainy here in coastal Virginia too... supposed to clear up later.
I'm OK, it was a long trying week at work, but enjoying a relaxing weekend, and I'm off Monday!
I'm sure most days/weeks are trying for med workers right now. You are all heros to me.
I work in a rehab center, we are starting to admit patients who have survived coronoa, it's shocking how weak and debilitated they are.
Hi Bea and Toast
Hi Scrabs!
Morning, scrabs.
I told myself last night that I would get up early to go into town to shop when the store opened at 7. Now I am here.
Meaning, I didn't shop yet.
Me too Scrabs
You need rest.
There really isn't a rush. Yes, Bea, I have been sleeping poorly for the last month.
I keep having nightmares
I shopped on Thursday...A trial in patience, I tell you.
I had one just before I awoke 30 minutes ago. I witnessed a plane crash in my front yard. I ran away to not get hit.
omg Scrabs, that's horrible :(
But I feel it's a common theme during this trying time, to dream about things out of our control.
That's horrible!
Yes, my heart is still racing. I suspect the metaphor is Coronavirus coming to hit me.
Aw so sorry Scrabs *hug*
Dreams are fascinating to analyze.
bzz was it successful?
I agree Scrabbler!
Was what successful, mlf?
Hi ML
your shopping trip on Thursday?
hi scrab!
Hi French!
Yes.
I am almost out of paper products (facial tissues, etc) so need to find some soon.
that's good bzz:)
bzz we heard it rain here last night
Hi mlf!
I just found the Ouija board word, se6.
oh I didn't have that! Thank you
I know the word just have to spell it right
got it
2nd column top o stats pls?
I think or6 and or7 plural
Second column?
oh 4th sorry
It's the top O
I'm glad I ordered a bunch of Kleenex a while ago when I did my "what if we get sick" scenario. I got some Gatorade too and found the thermometer that hasn't been used in years. Still works though.
Yes, those stats are correct.
Oh me too about the Kleenex Molly... I bought 6 boxes a while back.
molly my husband mentioned our thermometer a few days ago that we need to replace it
Warning to all: Kleenex is not meant to be flushed, so if you use it as toilet paper, put it in a trash bag, not down the toilet.
The paper products aisle in my grocery store is STILL empty. People need to get over the hoarding thing.
I always have Kleenex. My mom goes through a box every ten days.
clue for the or 6, pls
or 6 is microscope stain
We have handkerchiefs as a last resort.
Or dye used for microscope slides
For nose blowing, not toilet use. : D
Bea, ty, but I have no idea what that is
or + French word for movie, misspelled.
It is a word that is in the grid a lot.
It is in grids a lot Bea. And it always makes me think of the pig word.
Speaking of Kleenex...There is sn6...=)
ty Molly, Bea
Yes, all the other dwarfs are jealous.
I think crozy should be a new pandemic word. Getting crazy from being too cozy at home. : D
And yes, I know it works another way.
I'm going crozy from all the cooking...
I'm stuck on 41 left. I have two CO8s - what's the other, please?
See, this is not affecting me all that much. I cook all the time and for the most part, I try to stay away from people. And of course, I still have to haul my ass into work.
wi8
Thanks Bea. May I have full stats, please?
wi8.60
I bet that was Ru's first word.
Ta. Looking. Is it a word I'm likely to use?
I cook all the time too. We hardly ever eat out. So I don't know why this is bugging me so much.
Yes Matty
It's the choice, I think. Even if you don't go out to eat much, you know you CAN. Now you know you can't, you miss it
If you drink wi4
Maybe because of all the other things you can't do, Bea.
Oh yes, I do!
She said! Enthusiastically!!
You know me too well, Molly
I think that is correct, Molly. And I laugh, because there really isn't anywhere I go...
And yeah, found the WI and I've been around a few in Australia and Italy
My sister sent an adorable video of her, after she finally got her power back on, in clean pajamas, going back in the electric recliner and hoisting a glass of wi4
Thanks
I know they are glad to get power back.
The only time I was glad that I have an old fashioned, use your hand and a lever, recliner was when she told me about getting stuck in her electric one when the power went out.
I got stuck in mine once too.
LOL!
Mine is a lift chair.
I laughed myself silly thinking about the ridiculous things you would have to do to get out of a fully reclined recliner.
Hilarious, I couldn't get out of mine until the power came on.
But i certainly tried :)
Gads, how long were you stuck in it?
2 hours. My phone was also dead and it is tied up to my cable anyway.
I live in an apartment, so the power is usually right back on but they were working on the generator (a fact I didn't know about in advance)
I struggled so much I unplugged it. But managed to plug it in again.
I have to look for a battery backup
Well that sucks. Now see, the first thing I would do is feel like I had to pee. Even if I really didn't. Knowing that I couldn't would make me feel like I did.
I was close, I needed to have a bowel movement for the last hour :)
But, I survived, was sore the next day but at least I have a story to tell :)
good mornin all! what an Old McDonald grid we have - EIEIO everywhere
Hi dan
Hi Dan, yes, lots of vowels.
hi sukee hi Scrabbs
two constellation names
Orion and ?
Aries
Yes, there it is.
I have two ZE4s, one ZE5 and a ZO4, what am I missing, please?
Another zo4
I love words with "spiny carapace" in the definition.
LOL!
Thank you!
I was reading about South Africa's lockdown. No liquor, no cigarettes, no dog walking. Sounds like a recipe for hysteria.
Good morning!
Morning, phan.
how are you this morning, Bea?
US says liquor stores are essential...$$$, don't ya know.
I'm good. How is your daughter doing?
She's "OK" Husband is now sick too.
Oh, dear...
I say, you are asking for the crime rate to go up if you close the liquor stores.
Let's hope it is mild for him too.
Yes indeed!
If there is such a think as mild...
Phan, I am so sorry your whole family has been affected by this.
Lots of mild cases Bea. Look at the numbers. Not everyone who gets it is hospitalized.
Well, I have a son and a daughter that are still healthy, and that are considered essential.
zora
oops
There have been a lot of times in my life that I wished to be considered "essential". This is not one of them. Although the absence of traffic has been nice.
I bet 270 has been amazing lately
I go over it every day. When I look down, it's like Sunday morning traffic. And the absence of sirens is amazing. All the idiots who cause accidents are off the road. Yay!
Just on FB...
Just on FB...
Just on FB...
Just on FB...
What the heck...
Any way...A mom and her daughter completed a 40K puzzle.
That's an extra large puzzle!
No kidding!
my husband heard a strange noise and thought it was the pressure cooker. it was the cat meowing at him!
Hi phan
that's funny! Hi, MLF
I just made it half way. Going to go do stuff, now that I have to take care of 2 people... Also need to get hybby tested today.
I thought It was too. I am in a different room and I heard the cat meow not the pressure cooker making a noise like that thank goodness
is the wi 8 a pl?
I don't have it so....
yes
yes, but the singular is not in the grid
liquor is essential :D
hi dan
is it a real word?
hiya mlf
yes real
yes
that wi8 will have you over the barrel mlf
don't press your luck ruru

we know you will :D
LOL!
Good morning, Carla.
I still feel a little asleep.
Must be something extra special for breakfast at her house if it was being cooked in the pressure cooker...
speaking of, how'd the brownie bites go?
Ham and beans? Roast and potatoes...
Who made brownie bites?????
They were okay. Needed to cook a little longer.
pshaw, I prefer brownies on the gooier side
I did monkey. In the Instant Pot.
Yummy!
Im making Buffalo chicken dip today.
Yes, that is what my mom said. She loved them.
mmmm, I love me some buffalo chicken dip
brownies are better gooier
Me too hokie
I agree with gooey brownies
I made chicken and rice in the IP too. It was good.
sounds good
i made greek chicken breasts with braised cabbage
how'd you get chicken from greece ;)
you catch them from behind :D
I'm so glad the word chicken was in ru's sentence
oh, my zodiac sign is in the grid
why did the chicken cross the ocean?
Aries?
yep
*Wonders about Greek breasts and braised cabbage
why did the chicken cross the ocean carla
my mother wanted me to marry greek breasts, but I went the Hebrew route
I don't have an answer :P
carla.. why did the punk chicken not cross the road?
uhh, he was rebelling against the man?
no he was stapled to it
always though chicken was a staple part of a diet
I'm sure when I get that I will groan :D LOL
don't groan.. i'm not counting them this year
ok, this is weird. I know I entered ar4/5 last night. that a is showing 0/5, so I tried it again. It says I've already entered it, yet it is not in my word list.
I will refresh and see what happens, but now I know for a fact there are words I've entered that don't show up.
there it is after the refresh. so weird because I played last night on my iPad and this is on my laptop, so it should've all loaded first thing.
so someone said a co7-8 had 2i's together?!
Same as the 6/7 but double the i's
Yes, Ata...
Hemlock poison
huh hmmmm looking
triatoma ata
*Trying to make the connection between assassin bugs and hemlock
thanks :) now I keep wanting to try coenose as well
Add another cons to that word, Ata and you will get the other co8
well who knew!!
I've heard of dogs having conehead (cone of shame) but not that co8 :P
Oh, now I get it. Clue confusion.
well the pork didn't get cooked all the way through in the pressure cooker but hubby put some meat on the stove in an iron skillet. It was Delicious!
I don't get the co7 or 7's clues..any others pls?
pork with what?
co + number after 8, then plural
then same word but double the vowel
co7 Add a vowel to the number after eight
ty toast
This is a strange board
Not asking for a clue, but which or is it for the or 6/7?
i had a cranberry scone.. i can't eat pork this early in the morning
top one

top row O is or6 and 7
ruru,i wasn't expecting to do so either but apparently hubby wanted to start it sooner maybe because of the pressure cooker?
found them ty
I made egg salad in my cooling frenzy yesteray. I had that on toast this morning.
my breakfast items need to kind of pair up with black coffee
bzz we had egg salad a few days ago
why ruru?
i eat egg salad for breakfast all the time bea.. it's easier than cooking up eggs for breakfast.. i'm lazy that way
Yes, that's why I make it.
I love egg salad.. ruru do you put anything in it like pickles or celery?
we eat ours plain
sometimes super thin celery.. i don't put pickles in egg salad.. i do sometimes in tuna salad
kje got me putting capers in tuna salad and that is the best
when you say egg salad what do you actually mean?
I'm never sure in American!
mashed up eggs with mustard and mayonnaise and salt and pepper
I put celery and onion in my egg salad. Some whole grain mustard and a touch of horseradish.
ty! our egg salad tends be egg with salad lol
bzz my husband like it with onions. I don't like anything crunchy in my egg salad
(hard boiled eggs)
4th column e stats pls?
I also seperate my whites and yolks. Add the mayo, etc to the yolk like I'm making deviled eggs.
gm all, muesli and black cherry yogurt this a.m.- don't feel like having leftover pizza
Imade deviled eggs to go with the dinner I took to the neighbors last night.
aloy could join MLF for breakfast i guess ... Pizza? ugh
i am not a big fan of leftover pizza

I'm back. had to get a mask in the mail.

There is no en word.

I'm going to work on my mom's mother's day quilt today. though the sun has come out.

any clue for a wi6/7?
I have run out of elastic again
variant spellings of hot dog word, Ata

I only have one wi6, ata, and it's a comparative
good morning everyone :)

wd ata -- only got half way last night
I have the goose, thx!
yay, honk!
love the goose
ok, the weirdest thing ever just happened
i made a typo and it looks nothing like a word and it went, it is co7 (with 8 plural) and i am so surprised
go ahead, I'm listening (channeling Frazier) lol
ty hurshy, looking
i would never have got that in a million years without that typo. without a clue i mean.
found 'em by monkeying
is it the one with double vowel I read about when I was skimming the chat?
yes
nope, I found a co6/7
I didn't really pay attention, but now I guess I should try some things
is it co7/32 or different points?
yeah, those were what i was TRYING to type, alo
that is the right points hokie
so double the central vowel for the weirdos
ok, will see what I can monkey
Good afternoon all.....hope everyone is safe and well....
gm flask
is it related to $$ or am I on the wrong track?
hi Flask
hello, flask
Good day, Babblers
wrong track
Hi Origami
hi to origami too
have one co 6 -- don't see anything else
same
ok, good to know wrong track
co + number, and plural. then double the central vowel to get the very very weird ones.
thanks! got all 4
Thanks hurshy
still need 4 more C words anyway sigh
I have 6 left
ty hurshy -- they are all new to me
i know, i was like, felt lucky enough to monkey the 6 and then made the typo as i was trying to do the plural and so just stumbled into them!
ty hurshy, have never seen that one
Hi again all - back from our daily walk. And stuck on this grid with 36 left!
it was a truly Providential typo
Thanks Hurshy for sharing!
no probs :)
32 left here. probably going to the list.
now what are the odds we're going to remember that one if it comes up again? :D
very low for me
We'll have to rely on someone to make a typo while monkeying :D
ok, i did not find either of the other 8s
i have 12 left: 5 N, 4 C, 2 S, 1 W
wi8 is easy, think napa valley
ahhhh thanks hokie
those Ws were quite the slog
I still have 8 w's left!
it's like, two words with five gajillion versions of them
lol
(-: ty hokie
I got wi8 at 1am last night, not by seeing it in the grid but thinking all the letters were there, may as well just type it and see what happens.
that crying vegetable was hiding from me but I finally saw it and its modifier
yeah, i tried the singular even though i could see it was NOT there but stupidly forgot to try the plural
did not have the modifier, thx
looks like paul revere and william dawes brought us snow this year
Saturday salutations, Babblers.
hi Judi
howdy judi
Hi Judi
do you have Sat. off, I hope, Judi?
hmm, any help with next to last co6?

I was just telling someone I felt like Bill Murray in that movie, Aloy
wait, i only have one co6 after those weird ones and their shorter versions, where little jack sat with his pie and stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plumb
so that must mean i'm missing another
the one I was asking about is a pl.
Sure seems like it, Nan. Although, I have been going in to work, so I have more of a regular routine. My husband is working from home... and growing his hair long.
like a misspelled o'brien
ok, cool, got those now
you need a time out then hurshy :)
i need the third 8, is what i need, lol
oh - ty carla - didn't have those

Thanks for the story Min. We now have all day lurkers. Creepy.
You're creepy Molly. 'All day lurkers. Creepy' Wake up woman, it' been exactly this same way for a long time, because of you, you creeper.
Hi helenkeller!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
Heya Minver, doing well, how about you?
I am doing well, for the time being helenkeller.I think my dog is sick of me already. Jack does expect a daily outing
Then Jack shall have one. Ah, dogs can't get enough of their people :)

By the way, I used he real Helen Keller to write a sample mini auto-biography and a timeline for my ENL students.
apologies
Why can't people "lurk" and just do the grid without getting into a whole conversation?
You have 4/4ed the right to enter the Penalty Box Helen!
lol minver
KM - because now we're 'creepy.'
Hi Kaplan the Magne!How are U doing? Welcome to chog.
Wow! I did not mean to cause so much controversy using word "lurkers". It was just a joke. My apologies to those I offended. I have been guilty of being a lurker in the past
Can someone enlighten me? I don't get what the issue is here. Those who wish, chat, and those who don't, needn't... no?
It was not you fault Minver. It appears that those who don't chat are now 24/7 "creepy lurkers."
Hello NatashaW! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Hi Minver! Doing well. Grateful for health, employment, and food deliveries.
How about you?
Nothing wrong Minveryork. This is not like lurking on some secret meeting. It's a word game
renar
oops, another cardinal sin
... only if it's an acceptable word
Hello doseffing! How are you doing? Welcome to puzzzle.
... just dropping by to see what's going on
hello friends
I just recovered from pneumonia, for which I was hospitalized because they thought it was covid19, (and because I fainted and was turning blue but never mind that.) So I just thought I'd pop in for a little wordplay, and there's always some issue
I think use Babble website for different reasons. Some bablers just come to play the grid and that's it. While some come to play and chat and that's it. Some others come to play, socialize and clue and that is it. That is the nice thing about Babble. How you can use it to fit your need as U see fit. No judgements should be made
Sometimes if things are a tad heated I just close the chog (resize the window).
Hello Trifiioso! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
Correct.
how scary kaplan! Glad to hear you are having better days!
Babble might even be a form of therapy for some people.
I'm doing just fine, min - laughed out loud at your icon - god help us all
I traded WAY up, that is for sure!
You are the second person to find my icon amusing. I am happy if I can put a smile on people's faces at this time.
it did indeed, though MANY long time babblers will remember that my first marriage ended JUST as I was told about babble, and boy, was i unhappy
after a long time of mourning, I emerged a much better person. I wish the same for you.
It was too scary to be scary, if you know what I mean. I was in isolation for 3 days and rather than spend another night- they changed their minds about discharge- I signed myself out AMA and recuperated at home for a month. Tonight my husband says he's coming back to share the bedroom. All I've been doing there is watching reruns of "Get Smart."
oh kaplan, I am sorry to read! Babble is such a blessing at those times when one needs distraction and friendly chatter
My husband brought me food in bed, and got up at night to give me cough medicine and take my temperature, so I guess he's a keeper.
Yikes, that IS scary! Glad you are on the mend.
sounds like it, yes!
I've been doing words with friends but I can't always concentrate.
Thank you Trifioso. Ex-husband always complained about this game. He said I paid more attention to babblers than him.Meanwhile,he paid more attention to Mr. Budweiser
oh, I am afraid I rather overdid it on the WWF during this shutdown, and now have tooooo many games going
Oh and I also can't forget his other pal,Mr. Marlborlo too.
... spent a week in isolation about 13 years ago ... in the next room was a guy on a forced dieting situation ... he weighed about 700 pounds .... so he was just in bed .... he watched MASH from noon to midnight and STAR TREK from midnight 'til noon ... ... I can't watch either show anymore
that certainly doesn
doesn
i give u[
Anyway,I digress. I have started a new life and I'm happy!
different computer, this keyboard kills me
i am happy for you min
I've tried to go back to seeing clients on Zoom but my energy was poor until this week. Today I got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the bathroom floor because I couldn't take it. And I dyed my hair by myself because the roots were about two inches long, and in desperate times there are priorities.
Miner, I remember when it was bad and I'm glad your life changed
Any day I get to stare at handsome Mr. B is a terrific day.
kaplan, one of my former students drank three whiskeys and cut his own hair on facebook live last night - it was HILARIOUS
Kalpan, I hope that U are feeling 100 percent again soon!
I KNEW I didn't want to go to that damned conference in Times Square the first week of March...There were about 1000 group therapists from around the world and boom- a week later they announced a big covid19 outbreak.
My oxygen levels are in the 90s so I think I'm getting there. I just haven't been out in weeks. Today it snowed in Boston.
yikes!
Thank you for the good wishes
hello all. kap, glad you're on the mend.
yes. yes it did. I factually threw a fit when I opened the curtains this morning (south shore)
They didn't cancel the conference because they asked the lawyers and the CDC guidelines. The CDC is a shadow of its former self. Why not ask medical people? Why lawyers?
Well, it hardly snowed all winter.
ugh, kaplan, don't get me started! That idiot in chief doesn't even listen to doctors
i know right? One snow day in december, and that was it!
AUUUUGGGGGHHHHH
hello
I have to go. I didn't realize it was 7 PM.
where could you possibly have to be? lol
hello harp!
min, are you still here?
good night
ooh found a goose. my first animal!
lololol - I usually refer to it, and the dolphin, as "That effing goose!"
yup
Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are U doing? Welcome to grid.

Hi kje! How are you doing.Been AGES since I've se4/4 you
hi min!
yes, have been busy
today I am relaxing a bit
I love your icon kje. My school has a big poster with that saying on it.Too bad it's just hanging in an empty hallway
Min! Cute story for you! I face timed with my lovely daughter today, and noticed she was wearing a Bowie tee. Apparently she is in this subscription service that sends her new clothes to try every month - if she likes them, she can buy them at a discounted rate. If she doesn't, she can send them back. Apparently this vintage style tee came in this month's box. I said "That is one of the Serious Moonlight tour shirts from 1983!" and she was STUNNED and answered "Oh my god, that is exactly what it says on the bottom of this shirt! how did you DO that?" Uh, have we met? lololol
apologies for using the word "apparently" twice in one paragraph - minus five points
ok, FW
hapy to clue that co7/8 combo if needed before i leave...
huzzah for kje!
I could use it ..
The teacher in me won't jump to criticize you, Trifioso. I was already corrected for using "U" as an abbreviation b4
ok
torgone my love! so happy to see you!
co + a number, but double the vowel
Heyas kids .. How is everyone?
a weird doubling of the vowel
Thank you!
yw
Can you tell,I really like to use abbreviations? I just need 2 get away from formal English sometimes after teaching it all of the time to my ELL students. LOL!
Hello torgone! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
if I was jilli - i would have said something like... co + how many lives an egotistical cat has ; )

Well, glad I'm not the only one :D I really don't feel like I am anxiety-ridden, but, boy, am I having trouble staying asleep and when I am awake, all I want to do is take a nap.
Hi granny and tor
exactly ori. so like covid-19 this is world wide? i wonder if our UK friends are the same?
I am the same ori. Went to bed at 7 pm and popped up awake at two
Finally got back asleep at 4
Yes! I wake up in the dead of night and read for a while and then try to go back to sleep. Sometimes I succeed. But I can never sleep much beyond 6 no matter how little I have gotten.
Hi rururocks! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
My cycle of sleep is all screwed up
Hi minver
i wonder what the so-called experts are going t say about this. it's all very well to say don't worry...but how do you not worry?
ru, what happened to your groan count. Were there too many groans to count?
Well, I was worried. But seeing here that others are experiencing the same thing gives me hope that I am not losing my marbles in isolation.
Ru - drank more of that bottle today. The remainder is calling to me.
Great
Really glad you like it
Happy you are set for a while
No more groans minver. No one groans at my puns anymore
