rubyfoo
But we found some of my long-buried treasures. Unfortunately, he is a hard-a** taskmaster and was very directive (hah ha you might say!)

there were 11 years of accumulated "stuff"
2:11 am
westford
sounds like it will be well worth it
2:11 am

5:01 am
grannyrose

5:01 am
lynxxx
I can 't think of babies in kilos. I don't think anyone can here
5:02 am
sprite
it is all we know and use, lyn, here.
5:03 am
sprite
but for babies, we usually say how many pounds.
5:03 am
dizgrannie
congrats to grannyrose...XXXX, our youndest g/son was 10lb 110zs and we thought he was a monster...LOL
5:03 am
grannyrose
* grin * but it still makes my eyes water to think what lucinda must have gone through.
5:03 am
Haz1558
We're kind of a mxture here - children are taught in metric, adults think in imperial.
5:03 am
dizgrannie
youndest = younGest
5:03 am
sprite
(and a pound is half a kg... not your pound)
5:03 am
grannyrose
diz, i'm sp proud of Lu, what an amazing young woman she is!!!
5:04 am
sandyloo
or 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
5:05 am
lynxxx
Sprite - so you say pound for half a kilo - in everyday use?
5:05 am
sprite
yes, 1 kilo = 2 pond
5:05 am
dizgrannie
granny, dtr had a 9lb 10ozs then 10lb 11ozs...both au natural...(legs crossed here)
5:06 am
grannyrose
LOL, diz, know what you mean!!!!
5:06 am
sprite
*remembers... ouch*
5:07 am
grannyrose
i managed to squeeze out a nine pounder, but that was my limit!!!!!
5:08 am
sprite
lyn, we also use the word 'ons' which is 100 gram, 1/10 of a kilogram. One pond = 500 gram. But pond and ons aren't official measures.
5:09 am
Haz1558
What joy. THe middle of May and we're having hailstones.
5:09 am
lynxxx
Did Holland ever use imperial measures Sprite?
5:10 am
sprite
crazy weather, Haz. Today we have sun, I hope it will stay good for a while now.
5:11 am
Haz1558
It's mad, isn't it? Oh well, summer has got to come eventually.
5:11 am
sprite
winter was late too, and was intensely wintery. Let's hope summer will be very summery and long.
5:11 am
sprite
no lyn, we never did.
5:12 am
Haz1558
We'll live in hope, should we die in despair.
5:12 am
sprite
yeah I prefer hope. If I have to be proven wrong, let it be about being optimistical and not pessimistical.
5:13 am
Haz1558
Just optimistic or pessimistic, no need for al at the end.
5:14 am
sprite
oh ok, thank you!
5:14 am
Haz1558
No problem!
5:14 am
lynxxx

5:15 am
Haz1558
See you later, lyn.
5:15 am
sprite
do you know this one:
"The optimist believes we are living in the best world possible. The pessimist fears that is true."
5:16 am
Haz1558
Very clever!
5:17 am
dizgrannie
sprite, g/dtr wants to know if you are from the Netherlands...she has been at my side commenting on the different flags and naming countries.

5:18 am
dizgrannie

One good thing about giant grids is that you get lots of words quickly at first. Then you hit the wall. Or at least I do. I've got 77 so far.

what's funny for me is that with all this rain, I neglected to water all the stuff in the window boxes
1:38 pm
FMitch
Big grid can be fun but also wear you down after a while due to the sheer number of words!
1:39 pm
rubyfoo
yes, and if you walk away for a while, it's hard to remember what you already entered (or, rather, what I already entered. Duh)
1:39 pm
FMitch
there is only 1 x si5/10 and its the pl of the 4
1:40 pm
FMitch
oh not again weiik, have spent most of today inthere :(
1:40 pm

Hey y'all. I just must tell you that my 72nd birthday was Wednesday....the couple next door (lovely people) got together with five more friends and took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. Now, mind you, I have made most of these friends since I moved back to GA. I was awed....the love (energy) was so wonderful....we closed the place. I know there are some wonderful people in the world and I am so blessed. And I count you all as "friends".
4:12 pm
redturtlehead
It will get figured out, we always seem to do that.
4:12 pm

5:50 pm
lynxxx
or5.12 or & r*** a book
5:50 pm
redturtlehead
you are doing great
5:51 pm
Riverdance
reading doesnt cut it - computer stuff takes my mind off it but fighting 2 kids for one computer - tough going
5:52 pm
Riverdance
Yes I am doing great - big strong urges but getting through them - so in 3 more months you guys will be talking me through a diet OK?
5:52 pm
redturtlehead
does your library have computers?
5:52 pm
Riverdance
yes but their hours suck
5:53 pm
aslindy
I am spoiled here... my hubby is a computer engineer so we all have computers
5:53 pm
Riverdance
town library closes at 6pm - barely get home from work at that time - need something to keep mind occupied after supper.
5:54 pm
Riverdance
We have 2 computers now - if I can only find a way to get internet on both without costing a fortune, I will do that - ask hubby for me??? please???
5:54 pm
aslindy
how do you connect to the internet?
5:54 pm
aslindy
do you have cable, dialup...
5:55 pm
Riverdance
through our local phone company - DSL
5:55 pm
lynxxx
do you have wireless Momneeds
5:55 pm
Riverdance
no wireless
5:57 pm
aslindy
I personally don't know much about dsl... do you have a cable that comes from the wall to your computer?
5:57 pm
Riverdance
it comes through the phone line into a DSLmodem box
5:58 pm
Riverdance
I would have to get another box at $49 month to hook to other computer - that wont happen
5:58 pm
aslindy
hmmm... is there only one space on the modem box to connect to?
5:59 pm
lynxxx
You can get a wireless modem for DSL
6:00 pm
Riverdance
yes and our cable company is even more for theirs
6:00 pm
Riverdance
I will have to check into that lynxxx - dont know if that is available in this area - I live in the woods
6:02 pm
Riverdance
I have to get supper ready - bbl - have fun all
6:02 pm
Lady Biotch
do you have Cox cable mom? I do, one modem, one desk top a a wireless router to run the laptops from
6:03 pm
Lady Biotch
one monthly fee
6:03 pm
Lady Biotch
didn't realize she left....
6:04 pm
Lady Biotch
sorry
6:04 pm
Lady Biotch
see this is why I should only lurk and not chat
6:07 pm
redturtlehead
but you need to reveal the 74 i am missing....:)
6:07 pm
Lady Biotch
you are way ahead of me.....208 to go I won't stay awake long enough to finish
6:08 pm
featherbee
i can clue for a few minutes
6:09 pm
Lady Biotch
maybe for red, but don't stick around for me, although I appreciate the offer
6:10 pm
featherbee
k. i'll be here for about 5-10 minutes, then back again later.
6:10 pm
redturtlehead
i dont have the li** feather, but you could clue the nine.
6:10 pm
Lady Biotch
were you ladies around, I think it was Wednesday? there were these two gals one had like 80 left and one was given the other clues for every word she was missiing?
6:10 pm
Lady Biotch
soooooooooooo annoying I finally logged out of babble
6:11 pm
redturtlehead
glad to have missed that. I could probably name the ladies needing the 80.
6:11 pm
featherbee
yeah, saw that
6:11 pm
featherbee
scrolling to find the 9, lol. big li4.
6:11 pm
lynxxx
Yeah, hid the chat
6:11 pm
featherbee
ah, there we go. re8,9 combo. something that strikes a chord with you.
6:11 pm
evanonut
omg! how did i miss a biotch joining our ranks?
6:11 pm
welki
hi kids (coming out of lurk mode to say, yeah, i saw that too ... amazing, particularly when there was a list that day)
6:12 pm
redturtlehead
ooooh thanks!
6:12 pm
Lady Biotch
ok, so it wasn't just me....
6:13 pm
redturtlehead
i have seen it happen, can never figure why the cluers so kindly keep cluing, and people like that usually ask for spelled out clues.
6:13 pm
featherbee
(((((nutty)))))) hiya!
6:13 pm
redturtlehead
nut!!!
6:13 pm
evanonut
whaddup herbinator???
6:13 pm
redturtlehead
welki hi!
6:13 pm
Lady Biotch
I wish there was a way to chat with one specific person at a time I would've made comments to the folks who are here all the time
6:13 pm
featherbee
i'll do a modified version of it for say a 12 year old who is obviously trying, and being polite, yet struggling.
6:13 pm
evanonut
redziiiiii! how you is cookie?
6:13 pm
featherbee
herbinator, lol. the antithesis to weed.
6:13 pm
Riverdance
Ok home made pizza in oven - looking back on chat
6:13 pm
welki
me too, red ... why bother if all you do is ask someone else for the words?
6:14 pm
redturtlehead
redz is good, hows nut?
6:14 pm
Riverdance
Lady - we have comcast cable up here but its alot of $$$$
6:14 pm
welki
i was tempted, too, lady ... but they seemed to be having a good time of it, so i hid the chat
6:14 pm
evanonut
weed is so silly, you're no weed! weeds are everywhere and unwanted...that is the opposite of you. original and appreciated!
6:14 pm
evanonut
hey lynxxxxy
6:15 pm
featherbee
awww! how sweet! yes, but weeds are lovely too.
6:15 pm
evanonut
nutter is good
6:15 pm
featherbee
gotta go, daniel's ready to settle down and go to bed now. brb.
6:15 pm
evanonut
until they choke everything else
6:15 pm
Riverdance
red - I thought the rule was NO spelled out clues - we do not give out 3rd letters no matter what etc...
6:15 pm
lynxxx
bye Feather
6:15 pm
evanonut
there are no rules
6:16 pm
evanonut
there's no rules link, the only rule is not to be crass or mean
6:16 pm
redturtlehead
it is the "rule" but you would be surprised, when people use clues like Snake letter, chair letter...
6:16 pm
lynxxx
or obscene
6:16 pm
Riverdance
unwritten rule
6:16 pm
redturtlehead
nd typically that means, not typing words into chat a lot or whatever.
6:16 pm
evanonut
yeah...obscene
6:16 pm
Riverdance
chair letter???
6:17 pm
evanonut
obviously O...bean bag chair
6:17 pm
lynxxx
h. I hate those type of clues
6:17 pm
Riverdance
I ask for clues when I am at the end of my wits - its not fun if you dont try
6:17 pm
lynxxx
? I thought chair letter was h
6:18 pm
redturtlehead
some days its nice to see those clues, but I would never ask for it.
6:18 pm
Riverdance
there are some folks that need help and I dont mind offering obvious clues
6:18 pm
evanonut
i feel as long as a word isn't typed in the chog, all is fair
6:18 pm
Riverdance
see lynxxx - no rules - we dont even know what is what - lol
6:18 pm
redturtlehead
but there are a few people that come on here and ask for clue after clue, and I never see why they bother playing.
6:19 pm
evanonut
its not fair to force others to work the puzzle they way you want to, and if the clue-ing that is going on at the time isn't suiting you, that's why you can hide the chog
6:19 pm
Riverdance
sometimes I think they are new and dont really know what to do
6:19 pm
lynxxx
The worst clues are the ' sixth letter' '2nd vowel' - if you are going to do that really you should just type the word in
6:20 pm
Riverdance
absolutely evan - hide it if you dont want to know
6:20 pm
Barb's Horses
hi all
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
yes, when those people come on, I tend to simply drift off nut.
6:20 pm
pk
hi! i have 175 words left. can someone clue them all for me?
6:20 pm
Riverdance
its always a good time to fold laundry red
6:21 pm
Riverdance

Riverdance

6:26 pm
featherbee
ok, back! clues needed?
6:27 pm
redturtlehead
i need 72 clues, and you need esp to know what I need feather. sorry!
6:27 pm
featherbee
hmm, a challenge....lol
6:28 pm
Riverdance
lets add to that feather - I need 93 - lets see if she is up to the challenge.....
6:28 pm
featherbee
i can give random clues for the ones i thought were hard, if anyone's up for that
6:28 pm
Riverdance
supper almost ready so not for me but thanks all the same
6:29 pm
redturtlehead
I'm good, I might hit listy ..
6:29 pm
featherbee

featherbee

6:41 pm
Barb's Horses
I hope to get my awning finished being put up and the pool repaired...it had a leak last night ....of course at the bottom and so we had to drain it right down in order to patch it..what a lot of water...but I think the trees were happy for the drink
6:46 pm
Scrabbler
Hello kids. Anybody still here? This is my first look at the grid.
6:46 pm
Barb's Horses
hi scrabbler
6:46 pm
hurshy
hey scrabs
6:47 pm
Scrabbler
How are you Barb + Hursh?
6:47 pm
Barb's Horses
okay and you scrabs
6:48 pm
Barb's Horses
why are you anxious hurshy?
6:48 pm
hurshy
vacation next week
6:48 pm
Scrabbler
Tired--slept poorly last night, kayaked in the afternoon, then, because I am on-call, had to go into the office to see "overflow" sick kids--just 4 kids.
6:48 pm
Scrabbler
Why, Hursh?
6:49 pm
Barb's Horses
hope you get a chance to catch up on the weekend scrabs
6:49 pm
Barb's Horses
ooo vacation awesome have a great time
6:49 pm
Scrabbler
I am on call until Monday at 8 AM and have office hrs from 8-12 (or longer) tomorrow.
6:49 pm
hurshy
i shall miss my kitties :(
6:50 pm
Barb's Horses
are you going somewhere special hurshy?
6:50 pm
Scrabbler
Are you going away? I get terrible separation anxiety when I leave my bunnies.
6:51 pm
hurshy
my uncle's getting married so going out to colorado
6:51 pm
Riverdance
big trip to the states - good for you
6:51 pm
Scrabbler
Who will take care of your cats?
6:51 pm
hurshy
i always think these things are a good idea far in advance, and then when they get close i'm like, ack, why am i doing this
6:51 pm
hurshy
oh, i'm already in the states
6:52 pm
hurshy
my friend will check in on the cats
6:52 pm
Barb's Horses
I am sure your friend will do a great job
6:52 pm
Scrabbler
I just set up Adirondack vacations for July + August and am already anxious about leaving my bunnies.
6:53 pm
Barb's Horses
i worry too when I have to leave mine don't think I will be going anywhere this year...not even up to Kamloops
6:53 pm
Riverdance
fooled us didnt you - the animals will do just fine - especially kitties
6:53 pm
Scrabbler
When will you leave, H?
6:53 pm
hurshy
sure barb but i will MISS them
6:53 pm
Scrabbler
Take photos wit you, H.
6:54 pm
Barb's Horses
do you have someone you trust to look after them scrabs?
6:54 pm
redturtlehead
Ok I am now back to try to conquer the 71 words left. the dog is driving me nuts.
6:54 pm
Riverdance
when we went on vacation I think our bunnies did the bunny hop in joy we were leaving
6:54 pm
Scrabbler
My nephew lives with me but I do not entirely trust him. He is 22--thus still in those brain death years.
6:55 pm
Barb's Horses
why is the dog driving you nuts red?
6:55 pm
Scrabbler
Go Red go!
6:56 pm
Riverdance
of course our bunnies would rather NOT have human interaction - they cringined when the kids came to take them out of the hutch - you could read their thoughts
6:56 pm
Scrabbler
With rabbits a caretaker must be very aware of their eating + pooping habits, and their behavior.
6:57 pm
Barb's Horses
my neighbours are going away next week but I will go and check on the cats as the daughter doesn't seem to look after them and she lives there
6:58 pm
Barb's Horses
things can change quickly i take it scrabs? I know I pay more attention to my horses poop than others...it tells you alot
6:58 pm
Riverdance
we had the pleasure of having our friends dog stay with us when they were gone on vacation and they had a niece living with them but she wasnt trusted. My dogs (at least one of them) loved having a sleepover mate
6:58 pm
Barb's Horses
that sounds like a strange thing to do huh?
6:59 pm
Scrabbler
If rabbits stop eating + pooping, or become lethargic, it is a sign of a potentially serious GI problem called GI stasis.
6:59 pm
Barb's Horses
poop checking that is...for those who don't do that
6:59 pm
Riverdance
we get alot of horses poop from the farm up the street - great compost for our gardens once it cools off
6:59 pm
Barb's Horses
didn't one of your rabbits have that a little while back? or was that something else?
6:59 pm
Scrabbler
Makes sense to me, Barb. We know our pet's behaviors + routines in detail.
7:00 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, Tucker had it 2-3 mo ago.
7:00 pm
Scrabbler
House is on now--rerun but new for me.
7:00 pm
Riverdance
I can tell when something is bothering my dogs - our bunnies are now gone
7:01 pm
Barb's Horses
yes...i seem to know right away when something is wrong...my husband has learned to trust my calls with the animals
7:01 pm
Riverdance
LOVE House
7:01 pm
Barb's Horses
go enjoy scrabs and hurshy if you are still here have a blast and try not to worry to much.
7:02 pm
Barb's Horses
I best get dinner organized so we can get the pool started on its repairs.
7:02 pm
Scrabbler
I call my nephew daily when I am away--ask him questions and give him reminders.
7:02 pm
Barb's Horses
well i got 72 words today not too bad for me I guess
7:03 pm
Barb's Horses
I would come look after them scrabs but too far away
7:03 pm
Scrabbler
I am up to 73. I love big grid--just typing away with no intent to finish.
7:03 pm
Barb's Horses
okay well I am off...bye all (hugs)
7:04 pm
Scrabbler
Bye Barb. Make sure you check your horses' poop.
7:04 pm
Barb's Horses
LOL....tomorrow out in the field LOL
7:05 pm
Barb's Horses

7:39 pm
Trifioso
hello friends
7:40 pm
Trifioso
greetings.
7:40 pm
aknitter
reet to you too EB!!
7:41 pm
redturtlehead
hi!
7:41 pm
Trifioso
lol knitter - I was trying to type "greetings" whilst eating a chocolate bunny left over from easter....
7:41 pm
aknitter
sure blame the bunny. hi red
7:42 pm
Trifioso
trust me, it's been that sort of a day
7:43 pm
aknitter
nothing like a good chocolate bunny to make the world spin right
7:44 pm
Trifioso
I still can't decide if it was a good day or a bad one....
7:44 pm
redturtlehead
finished the H's! dog is driving me nutty! bark bark bark.
7:44 pm
redturtlehead
he needs nothing.
7:45 pm
aknitter
mine was very busy. a giant TGIF i mus say
7:45 pm
Trifioso
Today at 11am I got my biggest paycheck (to date) from work. Then I went to get my oil changed at 11:30, and they told me that my front brakes were shot, and the rotors too, and definitely needed changing RIGHT NOW. Total repair? ONE DOLLAR less than my paycheck.
7:45 pm
aknitter
perhaps he is trying to tell you that timmy is in the well - you really should listen red
7:46 pm
aknitter
ahh but you do still have that dollar! that sucks
7:49 pm
redturtlehead
no timmy, no well, dog is just in a mood, he does this every blue moon.
7:49 pm
stidgmere
Hello one and all. I am home from our sojourn in Quebec. Great place to visit but I am so glad to be home.
7:49 pm
Trifioso
no, I don't! the oil change and tire rotation kicked it over the total, and I ended up in the hole. again. but I am choosing to be proud that I made enough money to cover any of it, and no child support money will be used for car repair.
7:50 pm
aknitter
a good feeling - independance
7:50 pm
aknitter
independence even
7:50 pm
redturtlehead
well, trif, this has happened I believe to all of us at one point in time or another. its frustrating. but you will not need brakes for a while now.
7:50 pm
Trifioso
it's okay. you were just french for a minute
7:50 pm
stidgmere
Isn't it so true that windfalls usually come just in time cover what unexpectedly falls your way.
7:51 pm
redturtlehead
hi stidgmere.
7:51 pm
stidgmere
Hi red.
7:51 pm
redturtlehead
yes stidg, I just got a stock dividend check and it is of course, the appropriate amount to boost up my not so biggest paychecks ever. New job is ever so welcome.
7:51 pm
Trifioso
that is a good way to think of it indeed stidge
7:52 pm
o-o
Thinking positively is good. Can't change it. May as well be thankful you and the children are safer.
7:52 pm
Trifioso
thanks babble rabble
7:52 pm
aknitter
besides the peel of the fruit can anyone spoon feed me the other Z words please
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
BR, how are you doing? I have missed seeing you for a while.
7:53 pm
redturtlehead
think of a number that starts with Z knitter and you will have all three.
7:53 pm
stidgmere
For our usual frugal lifestyle, we were very out-of-character on this trip. Whenever we go somewhere it seems that stockmarket dives. We'll stay home for a while so the financial world can breathe easier.
7:54 pm
Scrabbler
Back again. The good news, Trif, is that you now know that you need new brakes rather than having non-working brakes.
7:54 pm
aknitter
omg - i need new glasses and a new brain too! ty
7:54 pm
redturtlehead
BR have you been doing alright?
7:54 pm
Trifioso
I agree, scrabbler. we are safe, and that is important. it's always gonna be something, so I am going to be grateful that I had the money to fix what needed to be fixed.
7:55 pm
Scrabbler
At least it's "only" money--not a health issue, not a major home disaster...
7:55 pm
stidgmere
Hi scrabbler. We saw a sign that had three rabbits crossing the road. A caution road sign with yellow background and black sillouets (how do you spell that?). I took some pictures so hope to have it on my icon eventually.
7:55 pm
o-o
I am facing some challenges .... not too bad. Thanks for asking.
7:56 pm
redturtlehead
I will be thinking of you, if you like BR. I am finally starting to feel more like myself again.
7:56 pm
stidgmere
Yes BR, you have always been a chatter I've enjoyed seeing on the log.
7:56 pm
Scrabbler
Very cool, Stidgmere!
7:56 pm
Trifioso
amen, scrabbler
7:56 pm
Trifioso
bunnies crossing! heart.
7:57 pm
redturtlehead
but trif, I understand that moment of frustration, you work hard for cash and then poof in a moment it disappears.
7:57 pm
Scrabbler
BR, I had 5 mo of being engulfed by that Black Monster--came out about 2 mo ago. It was hellish + scary.
7:57 pm
o-o
Great. Glad you a better, H. Hello, stidgmere
7:57 pm
Scrabbler
Trif, what happened to poor Cinnamon?
7:58 pm
redturtlehead
Well, NR, we will see how long it lasts, but I am relieved at the moment.
7:58 pm
Scrabbler
((BR)) ((Red))
7:58 pm
redturtlehead
WIll be thinking of you BR, and let me know if there is something I can do for you.
7:59 pm
o-o
Happy you beat the monster, Scrabbler. Thanks
7:59 pm
Trifioso
He is now comfortably buried in the back yard, in a really nice spot. We put his favorite sleeping bed in there with him.
8:00 pm
Scrabbler
Had he gotten ill, Trif? How old was he?
8:00 pm
redturtlehead
boy this grid really does go on and on.
8:01 pm
Trifioso
he was of unknown vintage -- we freecycled him from someone who thought he was about 4 years old, and we called him our own for 5, so that's pretty good, in bunny years, from what Iunderstand
8:02 pm
redturtlehead
YW BR, It is my pleasure. Mnay a time you have helped me.
8:02 pm
Dorens
hi buddies

Oh, yes, Trif. Bunnies are geriatric at 6 or so. So he had a wonderful life! My oldest bunny is my wee Sebastian--just turned 8. Prior oldest was Callie--7 yrs 8 mo, and she died 2 yrs ago.

Hi Dorens. visiting about the daily whirl.
8:04 pm
o-o
Hello, Dorens
8:04 pm
Trifioso
thanks for asking, scrabbler. I still look for him in the hallway every day....
8:04 pm
Dorens
babrab, how have you been?
8:05 pm
gapeach
May 10, 2008, wasn't is Scrabs? I lost little Charm that same day.
8:05 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, it sure was, Peach. I buried her on Mother's Day 2008.
8:06 pm
gapeach
I have a "rescue" dog now...sweet but not him.
8:06 pm
Scrabbler
My vet's office called the other day. A rabbit owner donated bags of hay after her bunny died and the staff thought of me. Over the years I have brought in 8 rabbits.
8:07 pm
Scrabbler
I miss my Callie. She was a beauty.
8:08 pm
gapeach
I have Charmy's picture on my cell phone....I show it to people I meet (kind of like showing a child's picture, I guess.
8:08 pm
Scrabbler
Trif, is your family cheering for the Bruins? Tied in 3rd period now.
8:09 pm
Trifioso
no, my family is either watching tropic thunder with their girlfriend, sleeping over a friends, or at mr. hates
8:09 pm
Trifioso
interesting about your vet's office, scrabbler - I am looking for someone to donate all my leftover bunny supplies to....
8:09 pm
Scrabbler
I am almost halfway then will go to bed. Must make rounds first then be on office at 0830.
8:10 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, call a vet's office, or local rabbit rescue.
8:10 pm
Dorens
halfway makes sense... this is certainly large.. but the beginning flowed soooo quickly
8:11 pm
Scrabbler
The beginning of large grids is always fun and makes one feel smug.
8:11 pm
Dorens
.....and then we have our comeuppance
8:11 pm
Trifioso
yes, it is fun when NBT comes quickly....
