melonheadjujube

My favorite has to be, "he's the kind of guy who came up slowâ€”fast."

12:57 am

jwr

also: "It ain't over till it's over
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
It's like dÃ©jÃ vu all over again." They've become so cmmon, people don't realize they were invented by one ball player. I've never run into your favorite though. I love it.

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

It makes a cockeyed sort of sense, donnit?

12:58 am

They all do! And lest we forget -- there's that cartoon character

3:44 am

rubyfoo

bonjour! l needed a big grid today.....

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Morning, Ruby. Yes a bit of a let down. Would of been nice to see a 300 plus.

3:49 am

MollyL

Aha, not everyone is busy with Passover/Easter plans.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly :--)

3:52 am

zoozzoom

I tried 'pritt' for pritt sticks lol

3:54 am

MollyL

Had to look those up. Must be a European thing. We have glue sticks here, but not by that brand.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Yeah they are the same sort of thing, Molly. Not that good either to be honest.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

Hello, you two! Seeing you makes up for this mingy grid!

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Nice to see you too, Ruby :-)

3:58 am

rubyfoo

There was about an hour of sun yesterday early evening, but it's still at freezing during the night. Not terrible, but l'd surely enjoy some sunshine.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Raining here again (no surprise there then) chilly but not near freezing thank goodness.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Hey, Ruby, our word is iin the grid. 'TY 4/7' LOL

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Have you any plans for the Passover/Easter break, Molly?

4:05 am

MollyL

Family dinner on Easter. Celebrating Spring, which took FOREVER to get here.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

I have Easter eggs for my sister's children even though they do not seem to care what it is about. All they want is the chocolate.

4:07 am

MollyL

Kids are very single minded about such things.
: D

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Oh I agree about Spring taking forever to get here. Although USA got hit bad this year we also had a bad time but not so much where I am which was a blessing.

4:08 am

MollyL

Someone said (and I tend to agree) that we have been spoiled by early Springs in previous years.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Yes a lot of plants were in that stage of coming into life when the bad weather hit and kllled a lot of them off.

4:16 am

MollyL

Many people have today off, so my commute should be easier than usual. That is a plus.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Nice. hope work goes quick and smooth for you!

4:19 am

zoozzoom

First run through and I have 8 words left to find. I have all of the last three rows greyed.

4:54 am

MollyL

Easter capons for all!

4:57 am

rubyfoo

l've begun eating better since l stopped the terrible delivered lunches. The housekeeper, who does my shopping buys treats, nourishing things that l like

4:58 am

MollyL

Good to hear. Usually you feel better if you are eating better.

5:07 am

sukee

Good morning, what a nasty looking grid.

5:40 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sukee

5:44 am

rubyfoo

l always have trouble with the little vowel words

6:21 am

MollyL

I often think that grids like this would have even less words if it weren't for all the obscure words that Enable accepts.

6:24 am

markbowers7

and why is "pirr" not a word?

6:27 am

MollyL

No clue. Every other strange Scot word that most people have never heard of is accepted.

6:56 am

rururocks

is pirr what sounds a Scottish cat makes/

7:14 am

bojazz

in what world would "pirr" be a word?

7:14 am

bojazz

pirn

7:14 am

bojazz

ooops...

7:15 am

MollyL

This world. It is a Scot word. Look it up. It means a state of agitation.

7:15 am

rururocks

oh.. I see Pirn works for you.. but not pirr

7:15 am

rururocks

:D

7:15 am

bojazz

Yes!!!

7:16 am

rururocks

a little Scottish variety won't kilt you bojazz

7:16 am

MollyL

Pirm. When you get a firm perm.

7:16 am

bojazz

sorry ... I require a large kilt...

7:16 am

rururocks

bragging again ? :D

7:17 am

bojazz

no one's doing it for me :)

8:37 am

rururocks

8:37 am

Trifioso

true that.....this coffee I have been handed is giving me LIFE

8:37 am

Trifioso

that man is straight up gifted at coffee

8:38 am

rururocks

like at espresso or coffee

8:38 am

MollyL

A lot of people have or took the day off around here it being Good Friday and the beginning of Passover. And it is NEVER too early for whiskey. Especially Irish whiskey.

8:39 am

rururocks

i can't think about whiskey until at least 6:00 at night

8:40 am

rururocks

i have been perfecting the perfect manhattan and i do have it down now

8:41 am

Trifioso

tertiare gave me this really cool bird feeder for Christmas - it's acrylic and sticks to the outside of the window via suction cups - right now there is a brilliant red cardinal chowing down three feet from me.

8:42 am

bichon

can squirrels get at it

8:42 am

rururocks

let's see how the squirrels can get at it.. that was my thought too bichon

8:42 am

Trifioso

no! flight is required

8:43 am

Trifioso

I have a large bay window, and put the feeder far enough from each side that no squirrels could get it. I also put some dark stickers around the feeder, so the birds don't bump the glass

8:43 am

bichon

I can just see them climbing on the window. Those buggers caan do anything

8:44 am

Trifioso

not this! there is no way they could reach it - two feet of glass all around

8:45 am

bichon

I've always said, this is safe from squirrels to be provn wrong

8:45 am

Trifioso

count for the lone center e in the bottom row please?

8:46 am

bogster

not enough glass. I have a squirrel that jumps 4 feet to the feeder

8:46 am

Trifioso

its been up since the week after Christmas, and so far so good, so I am happy

8:46 am

RoundBarn

9:01 am

9:02 am

BzznBea

Yes, it is Kansas. No, she is not well, cyber. Don't know what is wrong other than she just seems to have given up.

9:03 am

cybernan

ey 5 babblet - like the eagle's nest only with a different last letter

9:03 am

cybernan

that's not good -- how old is she?

9:03 am

mkg

Bea, are there good doctors who she is with? my mom in old age needed anti depressants to remain alive.

9:03 am

mkg

ty nan

9:04 am

mkg

there are geriatric psychiatrists who are amazing.

9:04 am

BzznBea

Yes, good doctors. We have been the anti depressant route, but she won't take them.

9:05 am

mkg

cant get the ey. darn

9:05 am

BzznBea

And she will not seek any kind of counseling.

9:05 am

mkg

cant get the ey. darn

9:06 am

mkg

got it. ty

9:06 am

cybernan

does she live alone? - maybe she needs to be in a seniors living building where there are lots of activities and people her own age to mix with.

9:08 am

BzznBea

Yes, she lives alone. She doesn't want to mix with "old" people. I am going to go back and pack her up and she will come live with us.

9:08 am

mkg

any clues for the R in middle of grid: 3rd row, 3rd column? ty.

9:08 am

BzznBea

ri5 ends with picnin pest

9:09 am

mkg

ty bea. nbt, nbs

9:11 am

cybernan

oh I hope that will help bea --- maybe that is just what she needs. There are advantages to living in a senior complex though. We just moved into a 55+ gated community and love it --- our social calendar hasn't been this busy since before my husband retired! This is something we should have done 10 years ago

9:13 am

BzznBea

I think it will help. It will take a lot of stress off of her. We talked about it last yea when I was out there. At that time, she said she would like to move in with us when she could no longe live alone.

9:14 am

chrisk

Hello everyone. Nan - we're in a 55+ building as well. Best thing we did. We have 12 people in the building who are over the age of 90. Most of them say that their longevity is a direct result of living in this community.

9:16 am

rururocks
