SueMagee

Thanks, Lickety.

12:25 am

hurshy

the pa8 is less normal than the po8

12:25 am

Pinikula

I'm still looking for both 8s...

12:26 am

Pinikula

does the po8 begin with a bear?

12:26 am

hurshy

yes

12:27 am

Pinikula

hmmm...

12:28 am

Pinikula

Well, at least I have the bear...

12:31 am

Pinikula

1/2-way!

12:32 am

hurshy

got the L!

12:34 am

hurshy

one P6 stands between me and victory. jess, are you still here? if so, what is the point total for the grid?

12:36 am

hurshy

ah nvm, monkeys worked fast

12:36 am

Pinikula

wtg hurshy!

12:36 am

hurshy

this grid seems less difficult for its size than average

12:36 am

hurshy

or my monkeys drank some red bull while i wasn't looking

12:36 am

Pinikula

*giggle*

12:37 am

Pinikula

I'm finding it that way, too...now that I've found the 8's...it seems to be moving quickly now...

12:39 am

hurshy

i like your swan there, pini - is it a symbol or anything, or just pretty?

12:42 am

Pinikula

Thanks, hurshy...it's an image I purchased for the purpose of marking the books I create for my family (it compliments my last name which sounds like it has a "swan" in it). :)

12:42 am

Pinikula

(or rather purchased the "use" of it)

12:43 am

hurshy

it kind of has a yin-yang quality about it

12:43 am

Pinikula

oh, didn't even realize that...it kind of does, doesn't it :)

12:45 am

hurshy

i'm taking a tai chi class - apparently each half is 70% one color and 30% the other, and, this is part of a thing in self defense, if you have 70% of your weight on one foot and 30% on the other a lot of the time, then you are most ready for an attack. 50-50, you have less power, but 90-10, say, you're too unbalanced and can easily be knocked over.

12:47 am

Pinikula

That's interesting and makes sense.

12:48 am

hurshy

i know, i'm filing it under "never remotely thought about but seems obvious now that you say it"

12:48 am

Pinikula

...exactly!

12:49 am

cybernan

still can't find that pa 8 --- any clues please?

12:49 am

hurshy

heinz has 57 of a va word that rhymes with pa8

12:49 am

Pinikula

it sort of extends the pa6 before it

12:49 am

Pinikula

ooooh, that's a good clue, hurshy!

12:50 am

hurshy

thank you, thank you, i'll be here all week

12:50 am

Pinikula

*giggle*

12:51 am

1:36 am

Nef

Hi seain. I've been trying to print pictures to take tomorrow on a trip; & my computer & printer both say it's printing but nothing is happening. I just thought I'd try to find the "easy" words while I figure out what's wrong (I've been working on this since before midnight!0

1:38 am

Nef

Hi ursh

1:40 am

ursh

Hi Nef - printers are the source of huge amounts of stress and irritation - sorry yours is playing up

1:43 am

Nef

It was printing my pictures on the 8X11 regular paper easier (instead of the 4X6" glossy photo paper earlier; I finally got all of the settings on paper size, etc. but now it just sits there doing nothing.

1:44 am

Nef

I'm so dang tired I should probably just give up & go to bed.

1:45 am

ursh

maybe one of the colour cartridges are empty ?

1:47 am

Nef

ALL of the computer & the printer say that it is set at the right size ,
Inks are all full too

1:47 am

Nef

(I'm heading to bed; this isn

1:47 am

Nef

working & I can''t stay awake

1:48 am

ursh

maybe better after a good sleep - good luck

1:49 am

Nef

thanks; good luck with this grid!Q

mattygroves

Found it, thanks. Are you well, Zooz?

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad thank you, Matty! How are you keeping?

4:13 am

mattygroves

Not too shabby, cheers! Jeff (the OH) is working this morning so I'm just chilling. Thinking of things I should do but am not currently doing ;)

4:15 am

zoozzoom

LOL yeah I know what you mean.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Back! As a means of getting through the horrible winter, l've just ordered plants from Promesse de Fleurs -- vrious things, all in my palette

4:17 am

rubyfoo

lt gives me Something to look forward too while l sit shivering and playing Babble.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Flowering Winter plants! Nice one,Ruby!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I also had 2 stere of wood delivered this Morning.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Yep this house too will be cld in the Winter :-(

4:18 am

zoozzoom

That should keep you going for a few months then!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

No, flowering spring-sum plants, some for the deck, some for the garden

4:19 am

zoozzoom

As long as you can light the damn fires!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

l'm also trying to findnn someone to help on the weekends -- walk the dogs, make a fire, etc.

4:21 am

mattygroves

I have all three 7s but no 8s....

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Good idea! Make sure they turn up early so it will be nice and warm in the morning!

4:21 am

rubyfoo

Lucky dogs, even if they Don't get walked, they have a very big , safe garden

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Would you like stats for the 8s Matty?

4:22 am

mattygroves

Yes please!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

PA 8/45 & PO 8/45

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Plenty of sniffing space then Ruby LOL

4:23 am

rubyfoo

Many of the plants l want are unavailable., l have two aru, one white, one pinkish, but need at least one more to go with

4:23 am

mattygroves

Thank you! I shall look at once. Amused that both spellings of Jeff (and Geoff) are in the grid today

4:23 am

zoozzoom

And I did try those too, Matty!

4:24 am

zoozzoom

I always try names as most of them seem to be allowed.

4:24 am

mattygroves

They often are. Alas, not Jeff. Nor, for that matter, Kate (my actual name)

4:25 am

mattygroves

Are those two 8s 'real' words?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I think the only ones who "breach the perimeter" are a nasty large black cat who teases the dogs and a fox whom l've never seen but who leaves his stinky scat

4:26 am

zoozzoom

The PO8 is.. It ends in what interest rates do.

4:26 am

mattygroves

Got it! Thanks

4:26 am

rubyfoo

See you later, kids.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

You could phone some plant nurseries, Ruby they might be able to put you in contact with someone who grows what you want.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Oh..Bye Ruby. take care.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

The PA8, Matty I scammed from a clue given by Hurshy. Something like heinz has 57 differnt...VA it is similar to that word.

4:30 am

mattygroves

Ah - got it - thanks!

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Nice one! Even with that clue it took me a while to find!

4:30 am

mattygroves

The L is bugging me - I only have one (the obvious one - la4/4)

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Plural it for a start.

4:31 am

mattygroves

I have the one meaning a den...

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Oh the other LA 4/4 will plural sorry

4:32 am

mattygroves

Right - got that one now. So don't feel so bad that I now have three of 'em

4:32 am

zoozzoom

LA 5 & 6 end in double vowel

4:33 am

zoozzoom

then plural of course.

4:33 am

mattygroves

Ah hah! One L left now :) Thanks!

4:33 am

zoozzoom

The last one you need is a plural one word. and SOUNDS the same as the den one.

4:34 am

mattygroves

A plural one word?!

4:34 am

mattygroves

Never mind - got it!

4:34 am

zoozzoom

See what I mean now lol

4:35 am

mattygroves

i.e. a word that seems to exist in the plural but not the singular, I'm guessing

4:35 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

4:35 am

mattygroves

30 left

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Yes that is what I meant :-)

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Well I have 14 words to find but will keep those for later. Nice to see you, Matty. Happy bbbling everyone!

4:48 am

mattygroves

Enjoy :)

Ruby Tuesday: was curious as the to measurement "stere" in regards to firewood and looked it up. A "stere" seems to be 3.6 "cords" of wood. Now it does not say if that is a face cord or a bush cord. Back when we used to heat entirely with firewood, we used to need 5 bush cords of hardwood and two face cords of softwood to make it through a standard winter. ;)

6:02 am

crosshair

Used to cost the better part of $1000 dollars for it all--cut, split, seasoned, and delivered to our door.

6:05 am

crosshair

That was just dumped in our laneway--we had to haul it and stack it. :(

6:06 am

bichon

Sounds like a lot of work. I grew up in NYC with central heating

6:07 am

crosshair

yes it was, but when the winter storms knked out the power for three days, it was a godsend.

6:13 am

crosshair

Then once the storm was over, it would take a better part of a day to dig your driveway out down to the main road :/

6:14 am

crosshair

Then you had to dig out your woodpile--you are right, it was a lot of work!

6:43 am

mattygroves
