about 15 years ago, i was tempted to buy a picasso sketch - a very, very rudimentary sketch, at a contemp. art show here, for $3000
12:45 am
Erda
One of the French Symbolists, Odilon Re***
12:45 am

only time that happened to me was when i was working in Paris and a friend had a very wealthy uncle and aunt who'd made a fortune in morel mushrooms and had SEVERAL works by "known" artists--took my breath away!
12:46 am

Oh, thanks, Erda! I didn't even realize it was a clue!

The Picasso was actually in the home of Frank Oppenheimer (Robert's brother), and when I started gushing over it, his wife said: "Yes, his father had a very good eye for up-and-coming artists..."
12:47 am
stidmama
now 145 to go, thanks Jill! ;-)

12:48 am
helenkeller
lol - wow erda! so tell us a little more about yourself . . .
12:48 am
Erda
I always wondered where that madonna ended up...
12:49 am
Erda
I am an opera and classical music person, currently retired. Had a friend who was a nuclear physicist -- hence the Oppenheimer connection.
12:50 am
helenkeller
thought maybe you yourself were the physicist
12:50 am
melonheadjujube
did you sing, Erda? Is it Erda as in the Ring Cycle?
12:50 am
Erda
oh no -- conversation between the two men went whizz over my head...
12:51 am
Erda
Yes, melon, a major Wagner fan here...
12:52 am
Erda
NDidn't sing. Was editor of the San Francisco Opera magazine for 20 years. Accumulated a lot of knowledge there and that's why they called me Erda...
12:53 am
helenkeller
sigfried was the first opera i ever saw
12:53 am
melonheadjujube
I played opera here in Cleveland for over 20 years. We did Meistersinger in 1995, I think. It was the only Western hemisphere production that year.
12:54 am
elphaba
does anyone have the third eight? not the an or the ca?
12:54 am
Erda
Geez, that's a difficult start. It's probably my favorite Ring opera.
12:54 am
melonheadjujube
The worst thing about playing it - counting all the &*(*&% rests!
12:54 am
sfneil
I'm a fan of "What's Opera, Doc?" by Warner Brothers.. also like real opera, but have minimal exposure. Nice to meet you, Erda!
12:54 am
helenkeller
next i saw denise graves in carmen - that one kept me awake - lol
12:55 am
melonheadjujube
My favorite opera is Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" - believe it or not, for a bassist, it's harder than wagner. The 2nd act finale is 12 pages of nonstop allegro.
12:55 am
Erda
Nice to meet you too, Neil
12:56 am
crazynotstupid
elp.. dont have the first two 8's
12:56 am
Uneaixoise
neil, if i were in SF right now, I'd be looking for Chorus Line tix!
12:56 am
Erda
The second act finale is one of the glories of western civilization
12:56 am
RocDragon
what's the 3rd 8?
12:56 am
melonheadjujube
Weirdest Opera experience - actually 2 of them: Playing Schoenberg's "Moses & Aron" @ Univ of Cincinnati. Then there was Staurt Copeland's "Holy Blood & Crescent Moon".
12:57 am
crazynotstupid
whats the first two 8's?
12:57 am
elphaba
if only i knew, roc. can clue the an/8 and ca/8 if needed.
12:57 am
melonheadjujube
back to Mozart - yes, Erda, exactly.
12:57 am
elphaba
except i'm not very good at clues!
12:57 am
Uneaixoise
elphaba, fabulous icon!
12:57 am
sfneil
Une... I saw Chorus Line at its London premiere (yes, I'm that old). I have been seriously considering buying tix for the current SF run.
12:58 am
Erda
those two are weird indeed, melon!! Tough and weird...
12:58 am
Uneaixoise
let's not talk "old"--I saw it SEVERAL times in its first incarnation! :-)
12:58 am

1:03 am
elphaba
those of you who use lickety's clues ... do you type things in here and then there? do you have a system for 'em? it seems like a lot of double typing, but i wonder if i'm doing it wrong.
1:03 am
melonheadjujube
oooh - & that got me to haslfway! thasitimouttahere! 'nite, laila tov, all.

1:04 am
chic
elphaba, I'm sure everybody uses the lists differently but I try to find all the words I can first and then print out the list and fill it in from there...
1:05 am
elphaba
thanks, chic. printing does seem like it would help.
1:06 am
RocDragon
i don't type in all the words but sometimes it turns out to be plenty when i need to try to narrow down my search alphabetically
1:06 am
melonheadjujube
i pull up lickey's clues on a separate window - i use the "rpintable clues" option. then i make that window really tall & skinny so it's always in view. I even use a separate browser for them - not sure why but it works.
1:06 am
helenkeller
no elph - what i do is find all the words i can by myself then go to the list & depending on how many i need, checkmark the fewest - those i have or those i need
1:06 am
melonheadjujube
i don't search the owrd list bc it bores the daylights out of me.
1:06 am
helenkeller
then erase the checks when i find the words - no need to double type
1:07 am
melonheadjujube
i can't ytpe! 'nite!

Hi Haz - I have made an early start today as at home nursing our Bobby who has had his (second) operation for kneee ligament repair (yes' I can't spell that cr word!). He is a very miserable dog.

Hello Munner - how are you?
3:34 am
Munner
I'm at 202 and it's 4:30 am here. Maybe I will finally fall asleep. My hands did that last word with no direction frome me.
3:35 am
Munner
Two days of steroids to avoid problems with the chemo treatment I had yesterday keeps me from sleeping. Two hours last night, but I think I can drop off now. See you all later for my last 33.
3:35 am
Haz1558
See you later, Munner - hope you manage to get some sleep.
3:36 am
lynxxx
Munner - wishing you at least 3 hours tonite - goodnite

3:37 am
Byzantine
may your recovery be expeditious and complete
3:37 am
Haz1558
It's a much slower pace at this time, the British are just waking up and the US folk are half-asleep. The Australians keep us on our toes!
3:38 am
lynxxx
Muner - just read your bio - you're doing it tough so pls keep a strong and positive mind. Been there myself and it IS amazing what they can do for you.
3:44 am
Haz1558
lynxxx - that e in the top corner is being very resistant to revealing any words to me. How are you getting on with it?
3:46 am
lynxxx
I think I've got five from there - try joining up with the co4 &5s for some
3:47 am
Haz1558
Thanks for the push!

Haz1558
Hello mrpresident! Are you well?
3:49 am
mrpresident
Hello Haz... well as a hole in the ground! and you??
3:50 am
Haz1558
I'm fine thanks. Doing my first run through with the grid. I suppose you're nearly done?
3:50 am
Haz1558
Hello scv!
3:51 am
mrpresident
I am no where near done!! first run is not my style... I like to begin at the end... habit unfortunately... and so far the T's are a b***h!!
3:53 am
mrpresident
and what is a te6/27??? is it a tactic to get people to drink tea??
3:53 am
Haz1558
I like to get as many words as possible, then use the list to fill in the gaps - though I go from the beginning of the alphabet. There are some nice words today.
3:54 am
Haz1558
I'll have to find that one. (You've given a word away, but shhhh there's nobody going to worry)
3:54 am
mrpresident
shhhh!!! *sorry*
3:57 am
Haz1558
I've found it, thanks to more words. They're all the rage among the tw4/8 set.
3:58 am
M3
morning all, oh a biggie today. and so many C's !!!
3:59 am
Haz1558
Good morning M3. I hadn't looked properly to see how many, but you're right, lots and lots of them.
4:00 am
mrpresident
tw4/8 set?? is it something I missed in my personality??
4:00 am
FranMag
hi everyone!
4:00 am
mrpresident
hello fran and M3!
4:01 am
Haz1558
tw4/8 - ladies who like things to be 'nice' in a frilly, feminine sort of way. te6/27, being a table for tea, would fit right into their world.
4:02 am
mrpresident
ah!!! thank you Haz!
4:03 am
mrpresident
oh, sorry!! what a follow up!!
4:03 am
FranMag
is anyone else finding the word input very slow?
4:03 am
Haz1558
tw4/8 ladies wouldn't say that word!!!
4:03 am
FranMag
thanks for that te6/27 mrp and haz!
4:04 am
Haz1558
You're welcome FranMag.
4:04 am

tw4/8 is a interesting word!
4:06 am
M3
I must be getting better at this i had 3 7's in a row yeah, i remember seeing 7's at one point and kringing
4:06 am
Haz1558
Do you not use tw4/8 very much? We would use it to describe a style of decorating or dressing - it's very useful!
4:08 am
FranMag
i've seen it in the grids, but didn't know what it meant until now. i've never heard it in a conversation!
4:08 am
Haz1558
Hello Jencatd - sorry to miss you there.
4:08 am
Byzantine
only time I use tw4/8 is to tell the owner what the cat went up
4:08 am
Jencatd
No worries, Haz. ^^

cute byz!
4:12 am
ExWren
Morning/evening Haz, Fran, mrp and all. I think 235 are just a few too many for me. 20odd re's, millions of c's - it would become a chore (?) rather than a pleasure

ExWren

4:15 am
ExWren
How can you get over 40 words from that single 'c'?
4:16 am
mrpresident

4:17 am
mrpresident
oh I will just shut up now! :D
4:18 am
scv
ok, i've read that four times and i still dont understand what it means.

4:56 am
Haz1558
There's another ac6 that I have - ac6/21 - add plural of what Americans call ca**.
4:57 am

Peri - a, c, o for the 8's

thanks amanda, clues please
6:14 am
amandacath
I an8 your question, the horse ca8 - working on the o....
6:14 am
SueMagee
The O has to do with mining.
6:15 am
periwinkle
thanks amanda, Sue will search for the O, thanks
6:15 am
amandacath
Hi Sue! Is that what it means?
6:16 am
amandacath
I have the o8, just trying to think of a clue that won't spell it out
6:16 am
SueMagee
Hi Amanda. Yes - some mining was done this way - on the surface - and other mining was down a shaft.
6:17 am
periwinkle
amanda, I will take the clue that spells out the O :-)
6:17 am
amandacath
oh, is it the same as strip-mining?
6:17 am
Wolvie
ahhh - different than most of us WV folks remember the term. Still works.
6:17 am
periwinkle
what is the second letter of the o8 pease
6:18 am

I'm sure you would Peri, but that's no fun! Unshut Samsonite?

Eva
Good morning everyone. So far I'm enjoyng this one. It's feeling like fall this morning. Fastest summer I've ever experienced and I can't figure out if it's because it rained all of June or if it's part of getting older. Time does seem to move more rapidly.
6:22 am

sorry peri, I just got it myself : 0

Hi cliff-yes I'm sure we will have plenty of hot weather still, but this morning has that hint of autumn

anbody have the first set of ep's?

you can say that again eva and hi

boy - don't I wish we had a hint of autumn. A humid 71 here, will be mid 90's at least today.
6:24 am
Eva
I'm about to have more tomatoes than any human being could reasonably want. Why did I plant so many? Does anyone have recipes for salsa that they love?
6:25 am
amandacath
Thanks MrP

Eva - one thing I do - freeze tomatoes. I grow about 200 plants every year. Another good recipe place is cook's talk - taunton.com, from fine cooking
6:26 am

Wolvie, just love your icon
6:26 am
Wolvie
hungry monster - haven't seen that one. Will check it out (not eva, I know)
6:27 am
Wolvie
Peri - isn't it cute? It's title is pole dancer. ;-0
6:27 am
Eva
Oh my god wolvie-200 plants!!! You must have a huge freezer. I don't have much freezer space and what I have is already taken up by endless amounts of pesto (also went overboard on the basil)
6:27 am
periwinkle
Wolvie, just adorable
6:27 am
Wolvie
eva - there is no such thing as too much pesto. ;-)
6:28 am
mrpresident
ok, what T can I possibly be missing???
6:28 am
periwinkle
I love pesto, I am growing basil on my balcony
6:28 am
SueMagee
I've got 12 tomato plants and I'm going to be over whelmed in a week or so.
6:28 am
Wolvie
That being said - you could also can - which I do. A pressure cookier makes it less nasty work.
6:28 am
Wolvie
cooker - I wish I could type.
6:28 am
periwinkle
Didn't know you could freeze tomatoes
6:29 am
Eva
I know, I feel the same way....but I'm going to have to start giving it away because of the space problem. I haven't canned anything for about 30 years. I was always afraid of poisoning all my nearest and dearest.
6:29 am
SueMagee
I make a roasted tomato sauce and freeze that. It's marvellous with pasta and makes a good base for casserole dishes.
6:29 am
amandacath
Haven't gotten to the t's yet, MrP...
6:30 am
allstar
if you 2 are having that big a problem you can send them to me : ) I love both and planted none. just too busy this spring
6:30 am
Eva
great idea sue!
6:30 am
musicmom
i'm not babbling but passing through. can pesto be frozen?
6:30 am
Wolvie
peri - I bought a little italian press thingie - it takes out the se**s, and removes the peel - leaving just the pulp. Or you can freeze them whole - they are only good for sauces and such, but it works really well.
6:30 am
FranMag
definitely MM.
6:30 am
musicmom
Ugh even if I'm not playing i need to get that stupid liver out of my icon
6:31 am

Thanks Fran. I have basil a friend gave me and I thought about making some.

lol musicmom, i don't mind!

what is icon today?? (too bloody lazy to look it up, sorry!)

mm - you can put bits in an ice tray, pot out what you need
6:31 am
musicmom
Disgusting!
6:31 am

Sue, roasted tomatoe sauce sounds yummy
6:31 am
musicmom
Wolvie - that is a great idea! Thanks.
6:31 am
FranMag
today is vacations, where you like to vacation.
6:32 am
Eva
pesto freezes beautifully and will last for years. A friend of mine deals with the space problem by making up the pesto with just the basil, oil and nuts-leaving out the cheese. She puts the mixture into ice cube trays. That way when she wants pesto she just takes out as many cubes as she needs and adds the parmesan then
6:32 am
FranMag
that's a common tip i always see too, the ice tray thing.
6:32 am
mrpresident
ah! will go hunting for vacation spots!
6:32 am
Wolvie
I have a sort or newbie question - who sets the theme for the day, and where do I find it?

je5/30 - first three letters, religious person; last two letters, make it past tense.
7:14 am
hydra
Many thanks Daisy Eric. Would never have found that!
7:14 am
Jacula
je5/30 - obsolete (offensive) term for haggling or bargaining to get the price down.
7:14 am
Daisy Eric
(psst, hydra, it's me, Babbler!) ; )
7:14 am
Daisy Eric
I'm doing my 30 min challenge. I'm only 5 mins in...
7:14 am
Jacula
Babbler - Why are you disguised today?
7:15 am
Dorens
i am surprised to see the je5 in the grid... as jac says, it is offensive.
7:15 am
Daisy Eric
not disguised, Jac, just created a new non-Pro account so I can part play a puzzle. If I did that as 'Babbler', I'd deffo slip off the rankings page asap!
7:16 am
Jacula
Good idea, Babbler! LOL
7:16 am
Daisy Eric
I put my new id in my profile over there and I've been introducing myself.
7:16 am
hydra
Good idea, babbler. I often play part of one and I'm way down the list, having started near the top! All because I got to 25 words one day and a visitor arrived!
7:16 am
Daisy Eric
wasn't my idea, I have to say, it was another player, Ache, who got me thinking.
7:17 am
Wolvie
ahhh - that is a good idea - a lot of times I can't get back to the puzzle.
7:17 am
Jacula
Oh Lord! Looks like the membership is about to double! LOL.

I can't play entire grids cos of my RSI and stuff, and I do miss it. So I'm gonna play 30 min challenges - see how many I get in 30 mins. ; )

Sorry to hear of the RSI, babbler. Have you tried arnica gel? It works on my arthritis and damaged ligament. Takes the pain away for a good 24 hours, sometimes more.
7:19 am
Daisy Eric
I can still see the stats as I only created this account a few days ago. I'm looking forward to no stats - then it will be like the old days!
7:20 am
Daisy Eric
hydra - I have fibromyalgia, so the RSI I have is a complicated beastie! I think I've tried arnica as a tablet, not a get. I've heard good things about it.
7:20 am
Jacula
Right, I've put all the obvious words in and that's left me with 102 to find. I'm off to do some work now. I shall look at the grid more seriously later. Babbler, sorry about your RSI. I can see why the 30 minute challenges are a good idea for you. Glad you'll still be here to play.x
7:20 am
Daisy Eric
right now, I'm cooking with a lot of turmeric (nature's pain killer). I found that makes a difference.

yep, (just remembered the password for that one, lol!)

As to Je***, the dictionary doesn't make value judgements. A word is a word. Another word with a similarly objectionable root is 'gypped' but I suppose we don't think about its origin anymore.

yes jeanne you're right, of course...it just surprises me to see it

Woohoo!
10:31 am
Jacula
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.
One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West Texas wind.
Dashing and daring,
A drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina,
The girl that I loved.

1:02 pm
Charm
hursh, all your cogitating is hurting my head. lol

Funny story: There was an evening concert on Sunday night in Vernazza, on the plaza right next to the Catholic Church. The band was playing as Mass was starting. The priest was so angry he stormed out of the church and demanded the band stop playing until Mass was over. We (who were attending Mass in the church) sat stunned and disbelieving.

Aloha, gals and gents.
4:47 pm
Haz1558
If that ever happened - is it mathematically possible? - I reckon there would be a fine number of excuses as to why people weren't able to attempt it. Unprecedented numbers of weddings and hastily arranged holidays.

Hello Judi.
