I do like the joke type puzzles but they never seem to do them in a larger size.
3:40 am
sprite
I only ever do the 400+ puzzles so I hardly ever see the small ones
3:41 am
zoozzoom
I do not mind the larger ones if I am in the mood for them. so I have a few in my in progress section. most of the time I do the smaller ones.
3:42 am

Can anyone give me a nudge on any 7...it's bugging me and I'd like to have at least one before I shower and start my day...

Hi scrabbler.
5:48 am
Scrabbler
Ooh, snow is coming tomorrow.
5:49 am
sukee
There are flurries in our forecast too.
5:49 am
Scrabbler
I just paid my snowplow guy for the season. $350
5:50 am
sukee
I guess we can't put it off forever.
5:51 am
Scrabbler
I am ready to snowshoe and cross-country ski, so bring it on.
5:53 am
sukee
I'm more of a hermit in the winter :)
5:54 am
mattygroves
May I have a gentle hint for the AF6 before I go out to get my hair cut?
5:54 am
Scrabbler
I will look with you, matty.
5:54 am
Lizlin
Hi all - sorry, also don't yet have the af 6.
5:55 am

Good morning, everybody :)
5:55 am

And Crosshair of the North!
5:55 am

Hi Crossy, Liz, Matty
5:55 am
crosshair
$350. for the season is a very good price, Scrabby:)
5:55 am
Lizlin
Hi crossy - a new wolf :)
5:56 am
Scrabbler
Either $350 for the season or $15 per plow. I gamble and pay per season.
5:56 am
mattygroves
Hiya all - just a flying visit (I have 47 words left) before running errands
5:56 am
Lizlin
Can't believe that you have snow already, scrabbs - my sympathy.
5:56 am
Lizlin
Glad to see you're feeling better Matty
5:57 am
mattygroves
It's moved onto a cough. That'll last days (mind you, I don't help myself in that regard)
5:57 am
crosshair
was temporary, Liz. I lost my old one for a bit. it has already been changed and should be back to normal one today or tomorrow.
5:57 am
Lizlin
It'll be good to see it again - I remember you saying that it would be a permanent icon.
5:57 am
Scrabbler
We did have some brief snow and more is coming but will melt, then real winter will slam us for 3 months, because I live in snow country, across the valley from a ski center.
5:58 am
crosshair
lol, Liz. We have already plowed once, and I am personally ready to pounce on winter. My snowshoes are ready and waiting :)
5:58 am
mattygroves
Right, I'm going to get my shoes on and get me out to Twickenham. See ya all laters :)
5:58 am
Lizlin
I don't miss snow - except for seeing it newly fallen. In London it always turned to slush and ice pretty quickly and was a nightmare driving in it at times.
5:59 am
Lizlin
I'll stick with our current temps - mid 20s :) Suits me just fine.
5:59 am
Lizlin
Have a good day, Matty
5:59 am
Scrabbler
af6 is weird = af + a preposition + a modifier (I am ** tired right now) + an indefinite articile
5:59 am
sukee
I believe they have snow in the Vancouver area today, none here yet.
6:00 am
crosshair
Had a hard frost yesterday, is pouring rain today, so it is up and down, but we usually have the slopes open for Christmas break
6:00 am
Lizlin
Thanks, Scrabbs
6:00 am
mattygroves
Thanks for the AF6 - right...poof!
6:00 am
Lizlin
Snow in Vancouver is pretty unusual, isn't it?
6:01 am
Scrabbler
af6 definition = foot and mouth disease
6:01 am
sukee
No, they get some every year.
6:02 am
sukee
And, they do have a couple of mountains :)
6:02 am
Uneaixoise
morning all and thx for af6, scrabs :-)
6:02 am

OK - I thought the climate there was more temperate, except in the mountains around.
6:02 am
Scrabbler
Bon jour, Une
6:03 am
sukee
There is a ski resort close to the city too.
6:03 am
Lizlin
On Grouse Mountain?
6:03 am
sukee
Of course, it doesn't last long.
6:04 am
sukee
But, I spent a winter there and it was mostly rainy and damp.
6:05 am
Lizlin
Same when i was there in the winter - we went out of town to ski. My dad worked there for a couple of years.
6:06 am
sukee
Gotten to nbt but I seem to be stuck now.
6:08 am
Scrabbler
I am stuck and not nearly as far as you.
6:09 am
Lizlin
If you need some clues I might be able to help - but I'm very short on 7 letter words.
6:09 am
Uneaixoise
no shorter than moi -- I have none! LOL
6:09 am
Scrabbler
I have no 7s.
6:09 am

Going to make some breakfast, will be back.

I'll probably be gone, so have a good day.

He asked to go...this is worrisome
8:32 am
Judi
Well, he's being cautious. That's a good thing. Best to get it checked pronto.
8:33 am
car.eeyore
He's had a bit of the flu, but he sounded OK on the phone yesterday. And there was a "urine issue"...let's leave it at that.
8:33 am

Hmm. Well, keep positive thoughts. It may well be something very minor.

all I am finding in google is a co word?
9:00 am
wvteach
Scrabs clued it at 5:59 - didn't remember that it was that long ago - af6 is weird = af + a preposition + a modifier (I am ** tired right now - just first letter) + an indefinite articile
9:01 am
car.eeyore
ao 5/10 & 6/18
9:01 am

I still don't know the foot disease
9:04 am

Me either...can't make that one work
9:04 am
Judi
No one does, MLF. Don't feel bad about it.
9:05 am
MLFAN17
car I googled it an no idea
9:05 am
car.eeyore
the preposition is throwing me off
9:05 am
MLFAN17
the whole clue is throwing me off
9:05 am
wvteach
look by the F - what preposition (two letter) begins with a letter next to the F
9:06 am
car.eeyore
to, but then I can't use the O in the ending.
9:07 am
wvteach
you don't use the O again
9:07 am
MLFAN17
is part of it not skinny?
9:07 am
wvteach
after the preposition use only the first letter of the modifier and then use the one letter indefinite article.
9:07 am

Will Hoge's a hometown boy. Born and raised in the Nashville area. Saw him at the Ryman once. When he did an "Ain't No Sunshine" cover, he unplugged, walked to the front of the stage, and just belted it out with the acoustic. One of my favorite Ryman moments ever.
10:25 am

i really like him and am incredulous that he is not more well known.

He actually got into a horrible, near death accident in 2008. His comeback is basically a miracle. They weren't sure he'd ever walk or play again, much less perform.
10:37 am

Hmm...Not sure about that poll of yours. If best music city isn't Nashville, I'd think it'd be Austin.

we have a lot of hot national bands right now and the venues are very up close and personal. also ticket prices are power
10:45 am
redshoes
Right. Ticket prices could get Nashville. We've had a lack of medium-sized venues until recently. That's hampers getting some acts.It also lends to more intimate concerts with bigger names.

we lost two small venues that did a lot of punk and grunge but gained the new Fillmore, which is medium sized 2,300.. Live Nation and AEG live are going head to head.

It's a collection. I thought maybe I'd told you about them before. Started by Trent Dabbs and originally sponsored by Paste before Trent's wife moved to American Songwriter. 10 artists from Tennessee (Nashville) would tour and be each others' band. Pretty cool stuff. The guy from Escondido was one of them, Tyler James.

I have a confession to make. The word in the grid ho4/5 which means "frost" is a perfectly good word, but it seems to me to sound a lot like a word that is not so good to use in polite company.
6:20 pm
Douglas
Emily Dickenson used ho4/5 in a poem about the hemlock tree.

I was taught what ho4y frost is growing up. Still use both ho4 and ho4y. :)
