Good Morning! Another sunny day ansd a big Sunday grid!
4:16 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Ruby :-)
4:17 am
rubyfoo
((zzoozz))
4:17 am
rubyfoo
Just seeing your name makes me smile!
4:18 am
zoozzoom
((Ruby)) Aww bless you!
4:18 am
rubyfoo
Is yur weather like ours, freezing at night and sunny and warm in the afternoon?
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Wow that has to be the fastest I have found the longest word in a biggish grid!
4:19 am
rubyfoo
I'm in a good mood this AM, nothing hurts, fire is lit, dogs walked (those two, not by me)
4:19 am
zoozzoom
It is nippy during the nights, Ruby, and just okay during the day. Waiting for the warm weather to arrive.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
The afternoons are lovely and I even emerge a bit.
4:20 am
zoozzoom
I am glad you are not in pain, Ruby. It has been a long time since you have been pain free.
4:21 am
rubyfoo
The handyman came yesterday (at last!) and he and his son planted 40 assorted pink bulbs. It's surely too late for them this year, but at least they're in the ground
4:21 am
zoozzoom
Are you still gaining your weight?
4:21 am
rubyfoo
No, I'm down to 40kg again.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
Lowest was 37 but "normal" is 47
4:22 am
rubyfoo
I look like a witch
4:22 am
zoozzoom
Is that because of the treament or have you not been feeling like eating?
4:23 am
zoozzoom
I do not believe for one secnd that you look like a witch. Not with a name Ruby you must look like a jewel!
4:24 am
rubyfoo
Thank you; that's very sw***
4:26 am
zoozzoom
My father has these meal drinks as he had lost a lot of weight too. Maybe you could try some of those as well as your meals.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
I tried thse, but I could taste the vitamins....
4:28 am
zoozzoom
So can my father but He has it with a snack to help mask the flavour of the drink. You have to sort of compromise lol
4:29 am
rubyfoo
Could you pls give me the stats for the 9 so I can start hunting
4:29 am
zoozzoom
in 6,8,8 & 9/54
4:29 am
rubyfoo
I do that with some of my other meds, but those drinks were undrinkable for me!
4:30 am
zoozzoom
Then in 7/28
4:30 am
rubyfoo
Oh, wow! I'll get to work!
4:31 am
zoozzoom
You could go for different flavours? anyway I will stop going on about that. Just want you to get back to how you feel comfortable :-)
4:32 am
zoozzoom
If you need a little nudge with those words I can give a hint.
4:32 am
rubyfoo
I'm eating a lot of nuts and dried fruit and lots of great cheeses ad pears. I just don't enjoy meat any more, at least the way the delivered meals are cooked
4:33 am
rubyfoo
No, but thank you. I got most of them as soon as you in***** me in the right direction
4:33 am
zoozzoom
I mostly eat chicken. Not often that I eat red meat.
4:34 am
rubyfoo
When they bring lamb, tongue or rabbit (which I always hated), it's OK, but the beef is inedible and the pork, not much better
4:36 am
rubyfoo
I can't complain about those meals, hower, because there is always something to eat, whether it's fresh bread and cheese, a nice desert or a decent appetizer
4:36 am
zoozzoom
Shame they do not bring you a nice piece of fish!
4:36 am
rubyfoo
And, most important, I only have to cook for the (spoiled) pups, not for me
4:38 am
rubyfoo
They bring fish on Fridays, but it's only good occasionally. It was so bad last Friday that even Rufie spurned it, sniffed it and walked away
4:38 am
zoozzoom
Oh dear that is not good lol
4:38 am
rubyfoo
When it's salmon or cod, he competes for every bite
4:40 am
zoozzoom
I love salmon darns with new potatoes, green beans and a hollandaise sauce yum yum!
4:41 am
rubyfoo
Believe it or not, they distinguish between different cheeses; Raffie eats chevre, Rufire walks away. But they both like most of the others
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Sounds ike they are fussy eaters lol
4:42 am
rubyfoo
The salmon has hollandaise as does th cod. It's difficult to get fresh fish here, though. When I was still cooking and entertainibng, I gave up on dishes like paella
4:42 am
zoozzoom
urgh just found a french word for poo!
4:42 am
rubyfoo
They are very sw*** and I like spoiling them
4:44 am
zoozzoom
It says it is also a word to express anger.
4:44 am
rubyfoo
got it and plural, LOL
4:45 am
rubyfoo
On TV, when English-language programs have Fr subtitles, they use that word for any and aall curse words which I find amusing
4:46 am
zoozzoom
Do you need the subtitles on then when watching films?
4:48 am
rubyfoo
I understand French pretty well, but I read and listen at the same time
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Do you need the subtitles on then when watching films?
4:49 am
rubyfoo
If it's a comedy and they speak too fast, I can't understand much
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Ah I see.
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Ah I see.
4:51 am
zoozzoom
babble is going very slow for me for some reason.When I type into the chat log it is not showing up for ages.

5:39 am
ivesy3

5:40 am
rubyfoo
I was fortunate to see Burt the morning before he died, but I don't think he knew I was there
5:40 am
rubyfoo
Alzheimer's is a cruel disease!
5:42 am

puglet

5:44 am
rubyfoo
Burt went through stages and I stayed in denial and kept him home until it was no longer possible as he was constantly falling, didn't let me sleep or eat and, finally, became aggressive with me and the aides
5:44 am
puglet

First day of spring, hah. We have snow in the forcast
6:31 am
sukee
But it's sunny
6:32 am
bichon
I remember April 6 1981 e had a foot of snow
6:34 am
sukee
Lol, what fun one of the cats is having with a cheerio I accidentally dropped.
6:34 am
sukee
And then he eats it :)
6:40 am
sukee

6:44 am
bichon
I got the 9 and it is an easy one
6:44 am
sukee
good, haven't gotten there yet
6:44 am
Anniebrook
yay, bichon
6:45 am
bichon
hi Annie. Are you getting snow today too?
6:46 am
Anniebrook
I found the 9 too. We are supposed to get snow starting this evening ending Monday morning
6:46 am
Anniebrook
is is snowing there now?
6:47 am
bichon
no, not til around 6
6:47 am
sukee
We will probably have it overnight. Figures since I have to go to the hospital early for a test.
6:48 am
sukee
And I got the 9, I already had the 8 that goes with it.
6:48 am
Anniebrook
There wont be a large accumulation, about 1-3 inches here. I need to get out early also.
6:49 am
Anniebrook
everything okay with you, sukee?
6:50 am
bichon
We're getting 3-5 here in the north
6:50 am
sukee
I have been having acid reflux problems due to the pills I have to take. The doctor just wants to make sure it's nothing more.
6:50 am
sukee
It's an ultrasound.
6:50 am
sukee
I swear the medication is sometimes worse than the symptoms.
6:51 am
sukee
I haven't felt 100% since I started taking the pills the doctor put me on.
6:51 am
Anniebrook
Yes, I know. I take a pill for reflux because of the meds.
6:51 am
Anniebrook
Then maybe it's time for a change of meds.
6:51 am
sukee
So we are starting with Zantec, hopefully I don't have to get anything stronger.
6:52 am
Anniebrook
YOu can get Zantac over the counter. No need for a scrip.
6:52 am
sukee
Yes, but when the doctor prescribes it I don't have to pay for it :)
6:53 am
Anniebrook
That's much better!
6:54 am
Anniebrook
going to the kitchen to fill my coffee mug.
6:54 am
sukee
Amazing how many simple words you miss here until you list :)
6:55 am
mattygroves
Oh, that happens to me ALL THE TIME. I think I've found all the obvious words and then I list...and realise I so very haven't.
6:55 am
mattygroves
I have 81 left and will need to list any time now
6:56 am
MollyL
When someone first sent me the link to this puzzle, I looked at the grid and thought, "Oh, there are only 25 letters in it. That can't be hard." Hahahahaha!
6:58 am
Anniebrook
hahahaha is right
7:00 am
mattygroves
75 left, but I only have 5 x 7s and 3 x 8s...
7:01 am

Hi Annie. Looks like winter is stubbornly refusing to exit for those of us on The Right Coast. : D
7:02 am
Anniebrook
D's done
7:02 am
Anniebrook
Molly, I am sick of snow. Tomorrow I have to leave early so I will be cleaning the car of snow. I dont think I will have to shovel to get out of my parking spot.
7:03 am
Anniebrook
I like that..the right coast
7:06 am
sukee
And then there are the words you thought you entered... :)
7:06 am
mattygroves
Yep - which either you hadn't, or you had put a space in front or behind, or had been in (say) yesterday's grid and that's where you remembered it from
7:13 am
sukee
and the Ws are finally history
7:17 am

8:54 am
Scrabbler
MLFAN, replace the h with g, then make it a comparative word.
8:54 am
car.eeyore
OK...the go rhymes with that word. that makes the go 5/14. Then add a comparative ending to make the go 7/36
8:55 am
