12:47 am

flosey

ah, that's too bad, our club is really picking up - had 7 1/2 tables tonight

12:48 am

crayola

nice. when i played years ago we would have up to 24 tables. but it's dwindled a lot.

12:48 am

flosey

wow, you must be in a large centre?

12:48 am

crayola

i have several people who want me to teach them bridge. not sure I'm up to the task though! lots of friends who are retiring now.

12:48 am

flosey

could be a pleasant afternoon?

12:49 am

crayola

or several :)

12:49 am

flosey

hubby has taught off and on

12:49 am

crayola

my 34 year old son would be a good partner. i need to rope him in.

12:50 am

flosey

our son only plays on the computer but when he visits he plays with his Dad and they usually do quite well

12:50 am

crayola

i'm so rusty I might need to sit in the novice section with him!

12:51 am

flosey

even when we were just learning, we never sat in the novice section

12:51 am

crayola

very nice.

12:52 am

crayola

3:04 am

pink17

pug like you heart,kidneys plus a vowel

3:04 am

pink17

the or

3:04 am

Dachef

the last 2 or's are weird: or6: a female version of the or5, perhaps? and then theres the other or6: sounds a bit rude. Same three letters as the other one, then consume.

3:05 am

sprite

the good news is that my kidneys are working fine. Bad news is that after more than 12 hours without any food my sugar is still 10.1; liver function is bad and cholestorol is too high. Appt with doctor this afternoon.

puglet

thanks Pink and Dachef

3:06 am

3:08 am

puglet

Happy for you on the kidneys-but dont sound too good on the other things.Iam sure the doctor will get you started on the right path.And things will get better(if you do what he says-lol)

3:08 am

puglet

bye Pink have a nice day

3:09 am

sprite

my husband is coming with me to the doctor. I asked him and he will be there to support me and to listen, because 2 hear more than one.

3:10 am

puglet

thats good him going and you are so right.You worrying may cause you to not catch it all

3:11 am

sprite

exactly. I have a wonderful doctor too. So all will go as well as can be today. No need for my knees to be so wobbly, lol.

3:11 am

puglet

Poor Rose didnt have very good news either

3:12 am

sprite

no, I heard :(

3:12 am

puglet

Your high sugar may be effecting other things going on in your body too--it can cause many problems

3:13 am

sprite

yeah. I expect that to be the very first thing we need to address. And the dosage of meds, because of the liver. Ah well, we will see. One step at a time, right?

3:13 am

sprite

and you, pug? How are you today?

3:15 am

puglet

Yep--baby steps! And Iam fine. I been here awhile and I can stop gabbing and give you a chance to babble if you would like me too and I wont be hurt in doing so

3:16 am

sprite

about my only easy multitaks thing: chat and babble! Please don't stop on my account, I enjoy your company.

3:16 am

puglet

I yours as well

3:17 am

sprite

:)

3:17 am

sprite

looks like a relatively friendly grid today

3:19 am

puglet

A friend's son of my husband got killed over the week end in a wreck and we have to go to the showing this afternoon. I didnt know him but he was only 19.Boys out drinking---when will people learn that those two never goes hand in hand

3:19 am

puglet

better then yesterdays I think

3:20 am

sprite

omg... oh I am so sorry, pug. So young... so stupid and unnecessary. Oh poor parents.

3:21 am

puglet

Yeah I know---so sad--And I just hate going to things like that

3:21 am

sprite

oh yes. So infinitely sad.

3:24 am

puglet

moving on to a lighter subject--Ive been looking over those ereaders and theres so many to choose from I dont know which to invest in, Iam kind of leaning towards the kindle paperwhite(I think thats what its called)

3:25 am

sprite

you might want to ask crossy, he knows a lot about the different kinds. I just bought the cheapest one for myself so I don't know much.

3:26 am

puglet

I just want something simple and one I can read without the glare

3:26 am

puglet

I will if I can catch him/we dont cross paths too often

3:26 am

sprite

asking crossy would be good then.

3:28 am

sprite

I will ask him if I can give you his email addy. I think he will say by all means and then you can ask him by email. Ok?

3:28 am

puglet

O great that would beokay and thanks Sprite

3:29 am

sprite

or I can give him yours, if you say that is ok?

3:29 am

puglet

yes Its find with me

3:30 am

puglet

do you have mine

3:35 am

sprite

ok, email sent. Yes, I have yours, you emailed me about how you changed your icon :)

3:36 am

puglet

oh okay and thanks so much for helping me

3:36 am

sprite

not at all, no trouble!

3:47 am

puglet

Have you got fireworks yet Sprite? You're so fast on these puzzles

3:48 am

sprite

no, still 14 left here, and you?

3:48 am

puglet

Iam stuck at 31

3:49 am

puglet

If I can make it pass the 1/2 way point I feel good and any words pass that are a bonus-lol

3:50 am

sprite

very good way of playing!

3:51 am

puglet

I learn new words everyday on here

3:52 am

sprite

so do I, even after all those years.

3:53 am

puglet

How long have you been a babbler and do you know how long babble has been online

3:54 am

sprite

if you click on my icon, my profile will open and at the top right it says how long I have played. Babble has been around a couple of months longer. I have been around from the early days, before pro and stats and all.

3:55 am

puglet

so it can be said that you are a babbler's pioneer woman-lal

3:55 am

sprite

*grin* I certainly feel like one!

3:56 am

puglet

by the way I hope you dont mind but I looked at some of your pictures and wanted to ask if you raise spaniels

3:57 am

puglet

the puppies are so cute

3:57 am

sprite

of course I don't mind, I put them up there so you babble friends can see them. No, I don't raise them, just the one. Terra is our king charles cavalier spaniel. A lovely, sweet, funny dog.

3:58 am

sprite

oh yes, that is the litter we got him from. The breeder is wonderful, we could see everything except for the first week or so.

3:58 am

puglet

Ive never owned one but I have seen them on the dog shows

3:59 am

sprite

terra is a bit of a babble dog too. Atalante, who doesn't chat much anymore, alas, helped me pick the right breed for us. And everybody with dogs helped with advice on how to raise him well.

3:59 am

puglet

I bet they are a great family pet

4:00 am

puglet

they kind of favor the cocker

4:01 am

sprite

they are marvelous. A nice small size (I needed that so I could handle him myself), but still a full dog in character. Easy as spaniels are, so he is always in for a long walk or a full day canoeing and camping, but also lazy enough to walk for 10 mins and then sleep happily pressed against my leg.

4:01 am

sprite

yes, they are a little smaller than cockers.

4:01 am

puglet

How old is he now

4:02 am

sprite

and the breeder did everything to socialise them, and we continued and raised him well. We can take him everywhere, he is always a good companion.

4:02 am

sprite

4 and a half year now

4:03 am

puglet

thats great that you got the help in picking the right dog for your family

4:03 am

sprite

yes it was so much fun. Everybody got involved. Aloyisius is his virtual god mum :D

4:04 am

sprite

babblers also helped us to pick the right breeder. They told us everything to look for and to look out for.

4:04 am

puglet

we always had pets growing up and I still carry that on into my own home.Just couldnt think of living with out them-lol

4:04 am

sprite

pets are wonderful for one's health, both physical and mental/emotional.

4:05 am

puglet

I really miss riding horses but my darn knees wont let me anymore

4:06 am

sprite

oh that is sad. My daughter rides too. A very special way to connect with an animal. Am sorry you had to let that go because of your knees.

4:06 am

sprite

fireflies

4:06 am

puglet

Ive thought about getting a small driving pony but the care has almost tripled in cost

4:06 am

puglet

w2g Sprite

4:08 am

sprite

ponies and horses are incredibly expensive in care. Maybe you should go for a huge dog, grin.

4:09 am

puglet

I started riding and showing in 4-H at about 10 and carried it through until about 6 years ago.My neice has my last horse.

4:09 am

puglet

I got that--A great dane named Beulah

4:11 am

sprite

oh! Our jillibus would love to hear that. She has bred great danes.

4:12 am

puglet

I got 3 dogs --her and a pug and a boxer all rescue dogs

4:12 am

sprite

can I help you with some clues before I go?

4:12 am

puglet

the two en words if you dont mind

4:13 am

sprite

en + had for dinner
en + an alien from mars is a mar***n.

4:14 am

puglet

You have a good day Sprite and hope all goes well at the doctors today--hugs and well wishes and thank you

4:14 am

sprite

thanks for thinking of me :)
Have a lovely day and a peaceful night, pug. *hug*
Bye all!

4:17 am

puglet

think I will come back later--bye all

9:42 am

hurshy

hi kthdsn - long time no see - thought you moved to canada

9:42 am

kthdsn

I did, I moved back 3 years ago

9:42 am

hurshy

that IS a long time no see then

9:43 am

kthdsn

Yeah, I don't come on very often any more

9:43 am

rururocks

I wish I could say that

9:44 am

hurshy

hmm, i don't know whether to feel rebuked for not being friendly enough to be worth coming on for, or rebuked for being a loser who still comes on all the time.

9:44 am

kthdsn

Aaawww neither!

9:44 am

hurshy

lol

9:45 am

hurshy

everyone knows there is an inherent assumed virtue in not spending much time on the internet

9:45 am

kthdsn

I'm still on the internet a LOT, just not so much on Babble :-)

9:46 am

hurshy

oh well then you have no virtue whatsoever.

9:46 am

i'm only mid-thirties but i been old since i was born

9:49 am

mixi6

most of us are in our 60's.

9:49 am

hurshy

you are likely better at tennis than me!

9:50 am

hurshy

i don't play

9:50 am

mixi6

I didn't get the ball consistently over the net until are 35. Started lessons at 45 (beginner level).

9:52 am

hurshy

trouble is my husband is a naturally athletic person so for him to teach me and play with me is fairly boring for him

9:52 am

mixi6

find a class and don't play with him.

9:53 am

hurshy

but i would only do it to do something with him, really. i don't like it enough otherwise.

9:54 am

hurshy

now i feel like one of those old ladies who came to a computer class i gave at the public library, where i eventually said to her, "do you WANT to learn to use a computer?" and she said, "no, i guess i don't".

I heard a former ambassador speak. She said you need protocol, Geritol and alcohol for public life.

9:57 am

MollyL

That's cute Mixi : D

10:00 am

in star trek they have synthehol. it is fake alcohol where you can feel drunk but then if you need to be not drunk because a situation arises, you can snap yourself out of it. that is a clever idea.

12:24 pm

Jillyjill

Mainly well known bands, some very traditional and some more contemporary, plus the Trinity Dancers and our state Tiernan dancers. Then historical exhibits and lectures. Have taken vocal lessons in the past. This years festival was not very well attended..

12:26 pm

wvteach

unfotunately many festivals attendance is down - the dulcimer festival was less than usual

12:27 pm

Jillyjill

We have a celtic festival here in the valley, it started up 3 years ago. Will be interesting to see how it is attended this year.

12:28 pm

Jillyjill

Not glad, but relieved low attendance wasn't just our festival...

12:28 pm

Hiya Molly.

4:31 pm

So....... Your thoughts on BB?

BB?

4:33 pm

MollyL

Breaking Bad.

4:34 pm

Have you seen it Soodle?

4:34 pm

Soodle

Breaking Bad, Bich. For those of us who are addicted - more compulsive than.........Babble!

4:35 pm

I watched it last night Molls. 'Tread lightly......'

4:35 pm

bichon

Not I!. Too violent and lawless for me

4:36 pm

Bichon, purely as a study on man's degeneration, its utterly fascinating.

I think Dean Norris (Hank) better get an Emmy nomination next year.

4:39 pm

Rats! I've read so much about that show! I can'tfind anywhere to view it here.

4:39 pm

joso

all great shows

4:40 pm

joso

you can download it with a torrent program soodle

4:41 pm

Soodle

Re BB, Gilligan'suse of Fast Forward in the opening sequences is terrific. I'm still mystified.

4:42 pm

MollyL

You must not have watched LOST. We were thrown all over the time frame gamut in that story.

4:43 pm

Soodle

Errrr. For Soodle, read 'Dinosaur', Joso. If it involves more than3 clicks, forget it. I may just have to buy the box-set.

4:44 pm

MollyL

Also, I don't know how you feel about them Soodle, but BitTorrent is pirating software.

4:44 pm

bichon

"Lost" one of my absolute favorites

4:44 pm

Soodle

Nope, Molly. I didn't succumb to Lost. It 'lost' me at episode 1.

4:45 pm

MollyL

That is EXACTLY what I said about LOST. Then I tried it again. Hooked.

4:46 pm

Bleak day chez soodle t

4:48 pm

Soodle

My car was giving trouble. I took it to the garage. The mechanic gave it the Last Rites. Terminal. I came home, stressed to the gills, to discover my washing machine has also given up the ghost. :-(

4:49 pm

MollyL

Oh God, I hate days like that. They are so defeating.

4:50 pm

bichon

That's a very, very bad day Soods. What can we do to help?

4:51 pm

MollyL

Well, let's see. Send a handsome mechanic who also fixes washing machines willing to trade both for sexual favors?

4:51 pm

Days like that happen, miserable time, but they pass. Days when a grandchild comes, or you get a new car also happen.

4:51 pm

Condolences, Soodle ..

4:52 pm

If you had a "blany" it would comfort you

4:53 pm

4:53 pm

bichon

*blanky

4:54 pm

Soodle

Lol!!! I was wondering what this mysterious 'Blany' was, and where could I get one! Lol!

4:55 pm

MollyL

Actually, blany is a real slang word that means someone you feel safe with or respect.

4:56 pm

Soodle

Bring on the Blanys!!! Ll

4:56 pm

MollyL

The Sweet Potato Queens are right when they say every woman needs a man who says the magic words. "I'll take care of that".

4:59 pm

Funny Molly. Freudian slip?

4:59 pm

Pish posh, Moll. And along with 'I'll take care of that' goes so much more balderdash, that I'm just gonna take care of that myself. (If that makes sense).

And as if stress levels weren't high enough Chez Soodle, tomorrow the results of the Leaving Cert/ Final High School exams are out. Tomorrow's results decide what my youngest does in college. So I'm flustering & fluting about my car/washing machine & she's fluting & flustering about tomorrow's results. Pass me the Zanax, please!

Soodle, you have very bright kids. I have no doubt that her results will be stellar.

5:17 pm

Soodle

Thoughts becoming things......

5:26 pm

joso

Don't let your thoughts run into that hamster wheel of worry. no car is a huge inconvenience, but just an inconvenience, nobody is dying. you may have to save for a while, get a part time job, gather extra income somehow but it's a problem that you can take time to solve. The fact that your kid is worrying is a good thing, much better than a child who doesn't care about grades. Take a couple of deep breaths, put on your favorite upbeat music, break down the problems into smaller, more manageable, parts with achievable solutions. don't stack them on top of each other making a mountain that appears insurmountable.

5:43 pm

Soodle

Joso. You are wise. You speak wisely. Thank you. You have probably ensured a good night's sleep for me. Would you consider coming home with me & living happily ever after withme? LOL!

5:44 pm

you are the babbler typing words from the hellish doctor, right?

6:41 pm

MimiCat

BTW, how DOES she stay so skinny with all the cooking and recipes and such? It is so amazing. Yes, I'm the one transcribing the alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs.

6:42 pm

periwinkle

poor mimi

6:42 pm

MimiCat

It's really annoying me, too. You'd think she's at least TRY to be understandable. Three other transcription services turned down their work because of her...she's that bad. She's worse than foreign doctors I've transcribed. She gets away with it because she OWNS the practice.

6:42 pm

periwinkle

giada is really thin and tiny

6:42 pm

periwinkle

ah, she owns the practice.

6:43 pm

periwinkle

if you do not get the recipe in a week, pls remind me

6:43 pm

MimiCat

Until my thyroid blanked out on me I was 123 lbs. and used to get jeans from my daughter that she couldn't fit into anymore...those were the days.

6:43 pm

MimiCat

Is the recipe on Giada's website somewhere? I could just go there for it.

6:44 pm

MimiCat

I'm now convinced God does not like old women......

6:44 pm

periwinkle

here is the name of the recipe. you can check: Campanelle Pasta Salad. Let me know if you do not see it there. I got it from the sunday paper a few years ago.

6:44 pm

periwinkle

if you are old, what does that make me. I am older than you and I do not believe that

6:46 pm

MimiCat

I actually made up my own pasta salad that is quite good. Put everything but the kitchen sink in there. And I have a FABULOUS mock chile relleno recipe that only has 4 ingredients, is easy, inexpensive and tastes better the 2nd and 3rd days. Glad to send it if you're interested.

6:47 pm

periwinkle

I would like that. I will put my email in my profile. mimi

6:47 pm

periwinkle

I will not leave it there for long tho, mimi

6:48 pm

MimiCat

You'll love it, peri. My specialty is recipes that are easy, inexpensive and even better leftover. I just made a batch of my chicken spaghetti that will last me 4 days.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

I am pretty much a vegetarian but the pasta salad does have tuna in it.

6:49 pm

periwinkle

did you get my e-mail mimi?

6:50 pm

periwinkle

email address I meant

6:50 pm

MimiCat

Already sent the recipe, peri. Let me know how you like it. The chile relleno recipe is vegetarian, BTW...but not vegan.

6:51 pm

periwinkle

that is fine, I will look for it, thanks

6:52 pm

MimiCat

Gotta go feed the cats and finish my report entries for today for work. Bye and hugs all around.

6:52 pm

New to this--how do you know how long a word is going to be? Like when you are saying ex6 or ne6. How do you know they are going to be six-letter words?

8:19 pm

penquis

if you look under the grid there is a link for Lickety...click on that...it opens a new window giving you all the stats like ex6....

8:20 pm

penquis

you can do the bulk add to add words you have already found here....just copy and paste in that add box in Lickety...

8:21 pm

Kij

That's cool! Thx

8:21 pm

a lot of people solve what they can and when the going gets tough, they "list", meaning they open Lickety...

went to sonoma this past sunday, ru...

9:32 pm

rururocks

how was it?

9:33 pm

kje

the girl and the fig was very very good... otherwise the wine tastings around the square were mostly just OK... Kamen was prob the best we tasted

9:33 pm

kje

did buy a cool pair of earrings though

9:33 pm

rururocks

kamen is pretty good

9:33 pm

kje

made of zinc of all things

9:34 pm

rururocks

you didn't like Soujourn?

9:34 pm

kje

yes, the kamen 2010 cab was yummy

9:34 pm

rururocks

Mark Herold Winemaker that's why

9:34 pm

kje

oops, missed that

9:34 pm

rururocks

or Paul Hobbs.. can't remember

9:35 pm

rururocks

Sojourn is pretty good stuff.

9:35 pm

rururocks

Bucklin I like a lot too

9:35 pm

kje

most of the tastings were quite pricey too...

9:35 pm

rururocks

did you go to the Golden Bear

9:35 pm

kje

much higher than I remeber from my trip to dry creek a couple years ago

9:36 pm

rururocks

Dry Creek is cheaper

9:37 pm

kje

the average tastings there were $10-15... here they were $20-30, most around 25

9:37 pm

rururocks

wow

9:37 pm

rururocks

that's ridiculous

9:37 pm

rururocks

what do they think you are Doctors?

9:38 pm

kje

so that adds up fast

9:38 pm

rururocks

*waits for Joke bomb to go off*

9:38 pm

kje

boom!

9:39 pm

kje

seriously... have to go make this cake or I'll be up all night waiting for cooling and such

9:39 pm

kje

hagn, and thanks as always for the recs

9:39 pm

rururocks

night

9:39 pm

rururocks

sorry about the tasting prices

9:39 pm

kje

next trip... Headlsburg again. I need to restock up on my Frick

9:40 pm

rururocks

aH I have some great restaurants up there now to recommend

9:40 pm

rururocks

really great

9:41 pm

kje

I get that they need to prevent all the people who would just do all the free getting drunk, etc... but essentially, we ended up paying $25 for 3 tastings, with pours that usually didn't add up to even one glass from a restaurant... that's a pretty steep markup

9:45 pm

kje

made me miss the Italian wine tour I did last year ; )

10:05 pm

stidmama

hey all. I am down to 82, and very tired, and meeting with the guy at the lighting store tomorrow morning after I run out to the house to check on the tree we dug up today and put in a pot and... AND!

10:07 pm

phandmd

sounds like a busy day, Stidmama...

10:08 pm

stidmama

:-) YEP. Today they brought in the fill for the foundation... a million tons of recycled glass. Or so it seemed. I owe my neighbor with the dozer a milkshake. Forgot to get one for him when I got one for the other guys. *sigh* MAJOR faux pas

10:08 pm

stidmama

how are you phand? when is this interview you are so going to rock?

10:08 pm

phandmd

It is a week from tomorrow.

10:09 pm

stidmama

okay. *putting stars in the right order*

10:09 pm

phandmd

I am meeting with a nurse friend to help prepare for the interview.

10:09 pm

stidmama

great idea!

10:09 pm

phandmd

Thank you, Stidmama I really appreciate that.

10:09 pm

phandmd

I need the help as it has been a million years since I have had an interview...

10:10 pm

phandmd

well, ok, 20ish years.

10:10 pm

stidmama

I wish I really could work that magic, but I am certainly pulling for you. It's such a marvelous feeling to have all those hours/days/months/years of preparation validated.

10:10 pm

stidmama

LOL I have had one interview so far since I finished school, but it made me eager for more!

10:10 pm

phandmd

it is! It felt like getting an A on a nursing school exam!

10:11 pm

stidmama

:-D

10:11 pm

phandmd

Wonder what it will feel like to actually get a job...

10:11 pm

phandmd

Those A's were hard to get!

10:12 pm

stidmama

I am not planning that far ahead, myself. LOL But I do dream. I love my profession, and someday I will have a classroom of my own and get to do the work I am destined for.

10:13 pm

phandmd

absolutely, Stid! And when you have your own classroom, you are gonna be the bomb!

10:13 pm

stidmama

and then I will get someone like you to come in and talk to my kiddos (bored middle-schoolers) about how cool nursing is, and how you're never too old to go back and do what you love.

10:14 pm

stidmama

Because, though I did the same thing, as their teacher anything I say will come with a 50% discount. *sigh*

10:14 pm

phandmd

That would be awesome!

10:15 pm

phandmd

well, at least you will carry some weight, as you know when it is your own kids it carries 0 weight!

10:15 pm

stidmama

I finally have the bottom row gray and halfway. But I still have three blank tiles. 'Tis a stinky little grid.

10:16 pm

stidmama

true -- they pretend to ignore, but really they listen and watch a lot more than you think.

10:16 pm

phandmd

indeed. Do you need any clues, I have NBT

10:16 pm

stidmama

Like when your darling two-year old announces that his demands are "non neg-go-go" (non-negotiable) *sigh*

10:16 pm

phandmd

and am down to 13...

10:16 pm

stidmama

Need the E and D in the top row please?

10:16 pm

stidmama

go phand go!!!!

10:17 pm

phandmd

so the E's are ex 6's

10:17 pm

phandmd

add a camping word and for the other, change the vowel.

10:17 pm

stidmama

ah, was missing the camping thing. :-)

10:18 pm

joso

de4-12, de and the 2 high score letters

10:18 pm

phandmd

The D uses the high value tile and is a 4 ltr word.

10:18 pm

stidmama

thanks joso

10:18 pm

stidmama

and phand. That was surprisingly compact!

10:18 pm

stidmama

down to 50.

10:18 pm

stidmama

last blank is the E on the right?

10:19 pm

phandmd

woot! you can do it!

10:19 pm

phandmd

trying to figure out which one it is...

10:20 pm

phandmd

e + Mr. Hawthorn?

10:21 pm

joso

en, not vesuvius

10:21 pm

joso

* et

10:21 pm

stidmama

yep! thanks for those! (got three)

10:21 pm

stidmama

I am now NBS as well as NBT and down to 45.

10:22 pm

phandmd

how about the 1st AG 5/14?

10:22 pm

stidmama

Is that the pretty stone?

10:22 pm

phandmd

and the first AN 5/10?

10:22 pm

joso

a semi precious gem

10:22 pm

phandmd

yes! Thanks

10:23 pm

joso

a + close

10:23 pm

stidmama

I don't have any of the AN 5s yet.

10:23 pm

10:23 pm

I don't get to do that very often anymore.

10:23 pm

stidmama

and thanks joso

10:23 pm

stidmama

I needed it, too.

10:24 pm

phandmd

did it feel god?

10:24 pm

stidmama

:-) makes me hungry, flinging fish reminds me of Pike Place market, and there is Emmett's Oyster bar which has LOVELY seafood... *drool*

10:25 pm

stidmama

btw, I found a genealogical word that stidmatt didn't know: ag 6

10:25 pm

phandmd

:^)

10:26 pm

phandmd

and how about the RA 7?

10:26 pm

stidmama

*looking*

10:27 pm

joso

like the ra6 with an extra e inserted

10:27 pm

stidmama

great clue (again) joso!

10:27 pm

phandmd

and I don't have the 6 either

10:28 pm

stidmama

like the seven with one less vowel.. LOL like a type of outside furniture, misspelled

10:28 pm

joso

wickerwork with an alternate vowel

10:29 pm

phandmd

thanks. and that brings me to 9 and off to bed I go...

10:31 pm

stidmama

well done phand! :-D

10:44 pm

stidmama

down to 19. Want to work on a blog post and then will be back to finish. *poof*

11:15 pm

boatierra

Hey all : ) Can I get a clue for the first an 4/6 please?

11:15 pm

stidmama

11:16 pm

boatierra

I'm not getting that.

11:17 pm

stidmama

okay, try an + the peachtree state is *eorgi*

11:21 pm

boatierra

11:22 pm

stidmama

11:23 pm

boatierra

Got it. Took a bit to figure out. Thanks :)

11:24 pm

stidmama

I am not giving excellent clues. a little tired tonight.

11:29 pm

stidmama

11:32 pm

stidmama

guess not. Good luck, boatierra, and see you-all tomorrow *poof*

11:43 pm

boatierra

Thank stid. Sorry didn't see your message. Was busy trying to finish the puzzle. Got fireworks :)
