Enjoying them very much. The more the 3rd book continued, the less it sounded like McCaffrey.

3:26 am

Lizlin

Anyway, how are you?

3:26 am

sprite

yes she develops her own style.

3:27 am

sprite

I am fine. Only had really bad dreams last night. But awake now and starting to feel human again.

Occasional pinches - like I'm sure I saw Fellis juice mentioned as a medicine.

3:27 am

Lizlin

Did you have the dreams when you were home alone?

3:28 am

sprite

no, not one

3:28 am

Lizlin

Hm! Remove the stress, remove the dreams!

3:29 am

Have to send boyo off to friends more often!

3:29 am

3:29 am

Lizlin

Of course! I know that really. Just kiddin'

3:29 am

3:31 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go. Quiz evening. Starts at 7.00 - in 30 minutes. You've got your peaceful home to look forward to and dream about. Enjoy your day, Sprite. Hugs.

car.eeyore

Puppy has so many toys...why does he chew on the kids ones instead?

9:02 am

Sugrraleona

because puppy is not dopey! LOL car

9:02 am

9:03 am

crosshair

or your cat like the empty shoe box better that the $1000 dollar custom made cat climbing tower:)

9:04 am

car.eeyore

9:05 am

crosshair

thee levels, two boxes to lay in, two ladders to climb and a kitty hammock:)

9:05 am

car.eeyore

My cats love theirs too

9:05 am

car.eeyore

but they still scratch my box spring

9:06 am

crosshair

it is that or they climb on your plant stand, killing all your plants in the process;)

9:06 am

car.eeyore

Don't keep plants

9:06 am

car.eeyore

Got tired of them peeing in the pots and destroying them

9:07 am

crosshair

WQe have learned from harsh experience that there is no sense in bringing a spider plant in here. it would have a life expectancy of 2-4 days tops

9:07 am

car.eeyore

Occasional fresh cut flowers only placed on the microwave where the cats do not go

9:07 am

MollyL

Why don't they go on the microwave?

9:08 am

car.eeyore

Its on its own stand and is just not a place they have ever jumped on.

9:08 am

car.eeyore

they go under the cart though

9:08 am

crosshair

We thought we were smart once, and got one of those hanging pots and put the spider plant in a corner on a hook lag-bolted into the ceiling.. did you know a health Bombay kitty can launch himself a full 15 feet from a window sill and land on a hanging plant? well, we do now;)

9:09 am

car.eeyore

Especially with all those dangling bits!

9:09 am

car.eeyore

:(

9:10 am

car.eeyore

Ooooh! Hawk screech outside my window!

9:10 am

crosshair

9:10 am

MollyL

That is why I asked about the microwave. Seems like from what I have read here, cats climb all over everything.

9:10 am

crosshair

he wants breffast

9:11 am

car.eeyore

For some reason, not this, so I go with it!

9:11 am

car.eeyore

Oh boy....rigth column grayed as well!

9:11 am

crosshair

our cats, thankfully, do not climb on the kitchen counters

9:11 am

car.eeyore

I'm thinking he may have just "got" his breffast and is letting others know to stay away from it

9:11 am

crosshair

count your cats, car!

9:11 am

car.eeyore

that must be nice crossy.

9:12 am

car.eeyore

They are all indoor.

9:12 am

crosshair

as are ours. I do not need them to become road kill

9:12 am

car.eeyore

I feel bad about it, but it is for their own good.

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Until I am rich and can build them one of those cool outside enclosures.

9:13 am

MollyL

Oh that's nice. Honestly, cats on the kitchen counters kind of gross me out. My kids cat is constantly on their kitchen counters. Which is why I don't eat at their place much.

9:14 am

car.eeyore

I clean my a lot

9:14 am

car.eeyore

I just have the one cat that gets up there, and he is just doing it so he can drink from the faucet

9:19 am

Babs1

9:34 am

car.eeyore

HAGD all!

9:35 am

crosshair

I just seem to run into it a lot when googling obscure words babs, it just pops up in the search engine

9:40 am

crosshair

And now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!! This particular quote makes more and more sense to me personally as I continue my journey as a writer of fiction novels. lately the best course for me had been to overrun my word count by 20k or so, then brutally hack and slash my way back to 70,000 or 80,000 words. By that point it is just about right:))

9:40 am

crosshair

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
â€”Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry

9:40 am

MollyL

You do a Google search on the word and "urban dictionary"

9:41 am

MollyL

Like if you didn't know what hagd means, you would do a Google Search on hagd urban dictionary

2:05 pm

MollyL

Some odd words in this grid. But most of them have been cl5 in chat. So anyone who is still trying to finish can just scroll the chat archives to get their answers.

2:08 pm

penquis

well i have 19 to find....haven't been looking.....figured i would list later and find them...i don't like to fish the chat....

2:14 pm

MollyL

I like to find the words on my own too. But it seems many people enjoy asking for help and shouting out cl4s, so the chat archive is full of answers, for those who go that way.

2:14 pm

penquis

yes....i try to ignore chat until i stall.....

2:23 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Chrissie and Bichon

4:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi jaxx

4:34 pm

jaxx7

Are you ready for Atlantic Storm bertha?

4:35 pm

ChrissieDee

I think you may be expected to be hit worse than us. Better batten down the hatches!

4:36 pm

ChrissieDee

We had a beautiful day today though, did you?

4:36 pm

jaxx7

It has been a very close, dark sort of day. While we need a storm to clear the air we could do without a downgraded Hurricane.

4:38 pm

jaxx7

It was only january when we had all the floods and gales. Here we go again

4:40 pm

ChrissieDee

Yes, you definitely had it worse down south. My daughter's road is still closed since a landslide in January

4:40 pm

bichon

More rain in the UK jaxxx?

4:43 pm

jaxx7

A Hurricane from across the Atlantic that has been downgraded to an Atlantic storm called Bertha. We have been warned to batten down the hatches, as Chrissie said. It is due to hit at 3 am in the morning

4:43 pm

bichon

We didn't get it at all here in New England

4:43 pm

jaxx7

Chrissie, where does your daughter live?

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

Godalming, Surrey

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

She lives at the top of a hill

4:45 pm

jaxx7

The government promised all sorts of help but have been unwilling to cough up the funds.

4:45 pm

jaxx7

perhaps she should have built an ark!

4:45 pm

ChrissieDee

The town was flooded twice. We joked she would go home after christmas here and find her flat at the bottom of the hill, but we were only half joking!

4:46 pm

ChrissieDee

I will suggest that to her :)

4:46 pm

bichon

Too bad you don't have the equivalent to our FEMA

4:46 pm

jaxx7

What is that?

4:47 pm

bichon

Federal Emergency something something

4:47 pm

MollyL

Management Agency

4:47 pm

bichon

Federal Emergency Management Agency

4:48 pm

jaxx7

Oxfam were asked to help the people of Somerset but refused as this country is too rich. I now refuse to donate to them or the Red Cross who also refused.

4:48 pm

ChrissieDee

We just have politicians walking round in wellington boots

4:49 pm

bichon

That's too bad. Vote the bums out

4:49 pm

jaxx7

'Call me Dave' came and made empty promises.

4:50 pm

ChrissieDee

No plausible options bich, all a waste of space

4:51 pm

bichon

Can't you get rid of those dudes and vote in some people who care about you?

4:51 pm

jaxx7

Unfortunately, unless you live in Inner London, all politicians regard the West Country as disposable. There is only a population of about 2 million so few votes to be had.

4:52 pm

MollyL

Bich, their representation to vote ratio is different than ours.

4:52 pm

bichon

I think if the governor of our state, Connecticut, did that he'd be out on his arse

4:53 pm

ChrissieDee

Got one eye on the tv. Michael McIntyre, he is so funny.

4:53 pm

bichon

You don't have county government?

4:53 pm

jaxx7

We have one railway line and one motorway into the West Country. When the gales hit The railway was undermined by the sea and the mainline looked like a jungle bridge with two sets of rail lines dangling in the air.

4:54 pm

bichon

You've been at democracy much longer than we have. You'd think your politicians would know what happens when they aren't responsive

4:54 pm

jaxx7

We do have Local Government but that has become increasingly politicised over the years so it toes the party lines

4:55 pm

bichon

A pity. You could try witholding your taxes. That works

4:56 pm

jaxx7

They don't care, Bich, until the General Election when they arrive and spout hot air.

4:56 pm

bichon

We have our problems with our Congress,, but people have long memories

4:57 pm

bichon

hint for a 7, pls

4:57 pm

jaxx7

As Chrissie said, there isn't an option. All they are interested in is lining their own pockets.

4:57 pm

bichon

Where's Nancy Grace when you need her

4:58 pm

jaxx7

cl 7 - cl + ou /14

4:58 pm

jaxx7

jaxx7

Thanks, Chrissie

5:02 pm

ChrissieDee

5:03 pm

ChrissieDee

5:04 pm

bichon

Before I eat dinner, I will tell you that states like Mississippi, which is the poorest US state, complains about federal interference, pays the least in taxes, and gets the most in federal aid. Go figure

5:05 pm

Soodle

Chrissie, my son has worked in the Godalming area. It's very possible that your girl has been stuck in traffic jams caused by myboy. He works for Southern Gas Networks!

5:05 pm

ChrissieDee

Don't let politics give you indigestion bich :)

5:05 pm

jaxx7

Clearly, the more noise you make the better

5:05 pm

5:06 pm

Soodle

'The squeaking door gets oiled first'....

5:06 pm

jaxx7

Exactly, soodle

5:06 pm

ChrissieDee

Daughter works for UK Power Networks. Together they could bring Surrey to a standstill, lol

5:07 pm

Soodle

Hi Jaxx, Chrissie, Bich (if you're stillhere) & all. :-)

5:07 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi Soodle

5:07 pm

Soodle

Lol Chrissie - ultimate power!

5:08 pm

jaxx7

Perhaps she should join forces with soodle's son and hold Surrey to ransom until they repair her road.

5:09 pm

Soodle

I was very happy to get home a short while ago. There are severe weather warnings. I hate driving in stormy conditions.

5:09 pm

jaxx7

Phantom - fluff

5:10 pm

jaxx7

We were just discussing that Soodle. here we go again

5:10 pm

ChrissieDee

Glad you're home safe Soodle

5:12 pm

Soodle

Home safe & treating self to a nice glass of wine. Bring it on!!! Lol

5:12 pm

jaxx7

have you got a lock for that cupboard then, soodle

5:13 pm

ChrissieDee

Jaxx is being siily, don't need locked cupboard for empty wine bottle :)

5:13 pm

Soodle

No need now, Jaxx. The offender has returned to the UK. My stash is safe:-)

5:14 pm

jaxx7

Yesterday, soodle's drink cupboard was bare due to helpful off spring

5:15 pm

stidmama

hey all -- down to three (with list) and cannot figure them out. help?

5:15 pm

stidmama

TU 6/30 please?

5:15 pm

Soodle

In fairness, following constant moaning, he replenished my stash. All is well :-)

5:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi stid

5:16 pm

jaxx7

We'll try, stidmama.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Hiya Stid!

5:16 pm

jaxx7

See, asking nicely doesn't always work as well as moaning

5:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Not got it, but will look

5:17 pm

stidmama

thanks all -- how is the evening? Other than stormy in Ireland?

5:17 pm

Soodle

First 3 letters of the preceding tu4/11 @ anagram of JR Ewing's commodity...

5:18 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, soodle. new word for me

5:19 pm

Soodle

The evening is good here, Stid. Just visited with my Dad, who is in a Nursing Home. He was well, content & very well looked after.

5:19 pm

stidmama

thanks soodle *thinking*

5:19 pm

stidmama

5:19 pm

stidmama

oops. *sitting in PB with blackberries*

5:19 pm

Soodle

Blushing.... My cl*** are usually useless!

5:20 pm

jaxx7

Another successful meeting then, soodle. Any ditties this time?

5:20 pm

Soodle

Not this evening!

5:21 pm

jaxx7

Today's awkward moment. I meet friend who has been living in Spain for 14 years and the first thin she asked was how was Tim!

5:21 pm

Soodle

We did recite some Yeats poetry, though.

5:21 pm

jaxx7

thing even

5:22 pm

Soodle

Oh heavens, Jazz. That must have been difficult for both of you.

5:22 pm

jaxx7

I am not familiar with Yeat's work. I am a Philistine.

5:23 pm

Soodle

Google 'The Ballad of Father Gilligan'. Its a gem.

5:23 pm

jaxx7

Especially as she has a brain disease and remembering anything is difficult for her. How do you answer that?

5:25 pm

jaxx7

There we were in the middle of a supermarket of all places. She apologised and I told her as she was in Spain I didn't expect her to get our local newspaper! I didn't know what else to say.

5:25 pm

MollyL

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep

5:25 pm

jaxx7

Wow, molly, you clearly are well versed in Yeats.

5:26 pm

Soodle

I suppose you answer as truthfully and as gently as possible.

5:27 pm

Soodle

Wahhh, Molls. After spending the evening with Dad, those lines are haunting.

5:27 pm

jaxx7

As it was 9 years ago this Xmas, I didn't think anyone was around who didn't know.

5:27 pm

jaxx7

Very atmospheric.

5:27 pm

ChrissieDee

(((soodle)))

5:28 pm

MollyL

That was the first one that came to mind, although The Lake Isle Of Innisfree is my favorite.

5:29 pm

jaxx7

I am going to spend time looking up the works of yeats.

5:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Finished. Going now. Take care all

5:32 pm

jaxx7

Bye, Chrissie. Take care

5:32 pm

Soodle

((((Chrissie)))

5:32 pm

freckledcat

Could someone clue my last word gl5/26 please?

5:33 pm

stidmama

gl + no **s, ands or buts; repeat last consonant

5:34 pm

stidmama

5:34 pm

Soodle

Gl... Sounds like the White (******) of Dover

5:34 pm

stidmama

heading out now, thanks for the help earlier! *poof*

5:34 pm

Soodle

Thanks Stid and Soosle.

Molly, I don't know if you can see my updated icon. It's Yeats' Bridge...

5:45 pm

Soodle

Maybe not. :-( My wine is gone. I'm off to bed to weather this storm. Good night all & thanks for the company. :-)

5:46 pm

Just getting started after dinner and not unhappy to see a grid with less than 250 words!

8:31 pm

sukee

Hi there

8:31 pm

sukee

It's a hard enough grid

8:32 pm

stidgmere

Hi sukee. The small grids tend to have lots of words that can't be built on by useful pre and su fixes.

8:32 pm

sukee

I just have 3 to find :)

8:33 pm

stidgmere

oh, good for you sukee. That is a good feeling with the end in sight.

8:35 pm

HarryHood

just started as well

8:36 pm

stidgmere

Today has been one of those summer days that started brightly and stayed beautiful and not too hot for comfort. We picked a few blueberries off our two bushes this afternoon. Enough for blueberry pancakes tomorrow. Hi harry!

8:36 pm

HarryHood

missing the V and the upper T

8:37 pm

HarryHood

loving the cool new england nights. house gets cooled down so we don't need a/c

8:37 pm

sukee

it's a vi 4/9

8:38 pm

stidgmere

8:38 pm

HarryHood

8:39 pm

stidgmere

8:40 pm

sukee

Now all I need is FA 7/56 to get fireworks

8:40 pm

HarryHood

I have no 7s - can't help you there :)

8:42 pm

HarryHood

nbt!

8:44 pm

stidgmere

the fa 7 is a compound word. fa** as not to be steady on your feet and *** as not in.

8:44 pm

HarryHood

ah nice word. nbs - ty

8:44 pm

sukee

I have that one that is FA 7/44

8:45 pm

sukee

This one starts with a FAT or a FAU

8:45 pm

stidgmere

sorry sukee didn't read your asking question carefully.

8:46 pm

sukee

I appreciate the clue though :)

8:47 pm

stidgmere

Having some difficulty with the 7 56 which is understandable.

8:47 pm

nrkii

fa 7 56 is being replete with destiny

8:47 pm

MimiCat

fa4/7 with ending that means "having much"

8:48 pm

sukee

Got it! Thank you :)

8:48 pm

stidgmere

the 7 64 is another fa** compound word. Still not the one you want.

8:48 pm

MimiCat

nrkii's clue much better than mine...brilliant.

8:48 pm

Both helped.
