4:20 am

4:23 am

rubyfoo

time to bathe

4:36 am

MollyL

mu5...start it like a hand warmer and end it with the first two of what goes around a man's neck

4:37 am

flosey

tytyty Molly, I would never have found that

4:40 am

MollyL

It is one of those Muslim words I am not familiar with, so it doesn't stick in my memory banks

4:45 am

flosey

since these grids are played worldwide, I guess we have to expect anything

4:48 am

mattygroves

May I have upper row U stats, please - I'm clearly being blind....

4:49 am

flosey

rururocks

Thought it was a David Carradine clue

5:22 am

mattygroves

At least in the UK, the MU5 also means to dress down - i.e. there might be a work 'mu5' day where you can wear jeans, often for charity (I can wear jeans to work every day, but that's neither here nor there)

5:47 am

mattygroves

Anyone have the NO6 they can give me a clue on, please?

Hi bichon and Bea

8:03 am

bichon

Hi Scrabs

8:03 am

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos.

8:04 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:04 am

Shirlockc

staring at grid and only 3 words ...

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I have 16 and feel smug.

8:05 am

BzznBea

Hello all.

8:05 am

welki

i think it'll take longer to finish this little beast than the last two

8:06 am

bichon

I have 53 and am grateful for a smaller grid today

8:06 am

Shirlockc

ditto on that thinking

8:06 am

Scrabbler

I have to prepare my house for my sister driving here from New Jersey. I have about 5 hours to get a lot done.

8:07 am

Shirlockc

big house or fussy sister?

8:07 am

welki

four hours of fretting and one hour of running around the house - when your sister already knows what to expect

8:08 am

welki

relax - she's visiting YOU, not the house

8:08 am

BzznBea

Good advice, welki.

8:09 am

Judi

Proper noun daily double: Name the city in Indiana and the City in Italy.

8:09 am

welki

*climbing into the gondola*

8:09 am

Scrabbler

I "moved out" a month ago before my huge flooring installation. Now I have to move in. I have boxes and bags in rooms, on the back deck, and in the basement.

8:10 am

welki

greet her at the door with a blindfold and tell her it's all part of the weekend game plan

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I needed to finish painting before I moved everything back in.

8:10 am

Judi

Sounds like you should wait for your sister to get there so she can help you move back in. Many hands make light work.

8:10 am

welki

judi

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Muncie, Indiana

8:10 am

welki

judi's right

8:11 am

Scrabbler

And new furniture is being delivered later.

8:11 am

Judi

Welki & Scrabbs split the daily double.

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Mostly I have to get her bedroom and bathroom ready.

8:12 am

welki

with my winnings, i'll hire scrabbs those hunky workers she hired before - and they can do the 'house work' while she lounges and supervises

8:12 am

Scrabbler

i clues, please?

8:12 am

Judi

a/k/a cabana boys.

8:12 am

Scrabbler

But those guys did not clean up, so I have to vacuum and mop.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I see it now. TY

8:13 am

Scrabbler

And duh. Slap me with a salmon.

8:13 am

welki

for the right price, they'll vacuum and mop ;)

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I was disappointed with the crew for not cleaning up after they finished. Is that expecting too much?

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Corner t? I am blind this morning.

8:15 am

Judi

No. Hired workers should always clean up the work site when finished.

8:15 am

welki

they should have left the house better than when they arrived, so no, it's not expecting too much for them to clean up their own mess. that would have irritated me, too

8:16 am

Judi

A final shop vac of the area at the very least.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

I agree. Clean up your mess before departing.

8:16 am

Judi

Ooh. Just found the 7.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Who wants breakfast? Oatmeal?

8:17 am

BzznBea

I'm still missing that lower t as well, scrabs.

4:11 pm

rururocks

4:11 pm

rururocks

we should have penq drawn and quartered for that :D

4:12 pm

rururocks

I guess punning doesn't make any cents right now

4:18 pm

rururocks

4:23 pm

4:28 pm

mkg

ty judy. got it.

4:28 pm

rururocks

hello bugs..

4:29 pm

rururocks

(walks on eggshells)

4:29 pm

Bugsaw

check your email. there are no worries

4:30 pm

rururocks

oh I did.. I was kidding back

4:31 pm

Bugsaw

sorry. I wish text could do inflection correctly.

4:31 pm

rururocks

i thought i got an email directed at Mr. Bugs by accident :D

4:32 pm

rururocks

well.. someone we know reamed me last week so I'm a little sensitive :D

4:33 pm

rururocks

i call it the wrong side of the bed syndrome

4:33 pm

Bugsaw

I love Mr Bugs, just not the junk/projects. There are too many of them for me but that is the way things go

4:34 pm

Bugsaw

I call it the flipped egg syndrome. Someone asks you to fry them two eggs, one sunny side up and one flipped. It seems like an easy request so you do it and they get all bent out of shape because you flipped the wrong egg.

4:35 pm

rururocks

oh.. well the yolk is on you then

4:36 pm

Bugsaw

Saw a good road name on my trip. ROUND TUIT LANE

4:37 pm

rururocks

did you have to get around to it?

4:37 pm

Bugsaw

seems like a good name for our house if our house had a name. Not much gets finished

4:38 pm

rururocks

I would name your house Barge right in

4:39 pm

rururocks

(waits to hear if Bugs is laughing or not)

4:40 pm

Bugsaw

OMG I couldn't make an invitation like that -- I have 4 sons who do anyway

4:41 pm

Bugsaw

I do like being Mrs. Noah though. We have a lot of friends angling for a place on board when the flood comes

4:43 pm

rururocks

well.. start worrying if animals start showing up in pairs :D

4:44 pm

Bugsaw

mosquitos are not coming aboard if I am in charge of the gate.

4:45 pm

Shirlockc

no roaches either, <shiver>

4:46 pm

Bugsaw

good idea Shirlock. same with sharks. they creep me out

4:49 pm

rururocks

you can leave the snakes off the boat too

4:49 pm

Soodle

Hello friends :-). Bugs, how are the travel plans progressing?

4:49 pm

Shirlockc

well, the sharks will stay in the water and we need them to scavenge -- but the roaches would need to be on the boat, no one needs roaches

4:50 pm

Bugsaw

I will email you Soodle. I just got back from a week away on the east coast of Canada and now the serious planning starts for the long trip. Getting pretty excited.

4:51 pm

Soodle

Looking forward to it, Bugs . :-)

4:54 pm

Soodle

<---- This Babbler has a PHOBIA about snakes. I cannot abide them. Ugghh

4:55 pm

Shirlockc

have you seen the cat cucumber thing? google it, very funny vids

5:10 pm

MollyL

Cat...cucumber...puts dirty mind to rest.
How is the weather everyone?

5:24 pm

rururocks

don't get in a pickle there molly :D

5:28 pm

Shirlockc

don't sour the party ruru, molly can be salty if she wants

5:32 pm

MollyL

Salty and all brined up, ask anyone.

5:33 pm

rururocks

I think of her more as bread and butter to be honest

5:34 pm

rururocks

shirlock won't out pun me today as I'm moving in for the Dill

5:35 pm

dan2bit

you truly are spearless ruru

5:35 pm

MollyL

Ru, spicy, Kosher, loved by all.
: P

5:37 pm

rururocks

all this pickle talk is going to make some lurkers cuke

5:38 pm

Shirlockc

i've been dared, i'm not vlasic-ing down, i accept with relish

5:38 pm

rururocks

we might have a claussen action suit with attorneys

5:39 pm

Shirlockc

olive it (note the double pun there)

5:40 pm

MollyL

Bless the lurkers, lets hope they don't get caught between third and home.

5:40 pm

rururocks

hopefully they are gherkin off right now

5:41 pm

dan2bit

it's almost pimento be

5:41 pm

rururocks

(looks at the red line he just passed)

5:46 pm

MollyL

<---Gherkin off...water accident

5:47 pm

Shirlockc

who are we zuchinni-ing? we love it

6:05 pm

penquis

penquis
