NE 5/10

3:41 am

mattygroves

Ta!

3:42 am

zoozzoom

I know you prbably have it already but did not realise the time you posted. Just started myself.

3:42 am

mattygroves

No worries :)

3:53 am

MollyL

We need to take up a collection to feed the grid. It keeps shrinking day by day.

3:57 am

zoozzoom

I am willing to donate a few letters to replace some of the letters in the grid. I would take out the X and replace with a B say. The Y with a B and so on :-)

3:58 am

MollyL

Maybe some vitamins to balance the vowels and consonants. On any given day, we have too many of either and that thins out the grid considerably.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Or make the grid a 6x6 :-)

RE these small grids: we did have a giant one about a week ago. I did not try that as I was too busy, You cannot please every body!!

5:35 am

MollyL

There are many people who like small grids and comment that those are the only ones they can finish. Some people spend a considerable amount of their day working these grids and feel lost when the grids are small. Everyone has their preferences.

5:38 am

PMS

I agree Molly. I was quite thankful when today's was small as I have a lot to do. Also some people are much quicker than e and it does not take them long to finish.

5:40 am

MollyL

Weekends before Christmas are crazy busy for me. I usually only get a few quick stabs at this game while I'm sitting down to catch my breath.

5:41 am

mael

weekends are terrible for me because I'm chasing kids all day :) work is much less stressful by comparison. I'm only up because I have a terrible cold thanks to the aforementioned kids

5:42 am

MollyL

Ah, bless the wee ones. They do tend to share the wealth when it comes to cold germs. : )

5:46 am

mael

I wish it were acceptable to dip them in lysol when they come home from daycare

6:05 am

mael

8 left, I'm pretty stuck

6:08 am

nurse1000

For me, I love the smaller grids - too much else I have to do during the day. When I see a big grid, I don't bother with it and let those who enjoy those do them. win/win situation for everybody.

6:09 am

mael

FW! lickety helped with the last few, all of which were normal words :)

6:09 am

mael

nice little grid

6:10 am

MollyL

Well done Mael. Lots of fluids for you. I'd say rest too, but that is impossible with two little kids.

6:17 am

mael

current fluid is coffee, which helps on the one hand and hurts on the other :)

I'm waiting for the whole DC Metro area to fall into a giant sinkhole with all the rain we have had. I'm thanking God it is warm, because this would be one hell of a snow storm.

12:22 pm

dcseain

yes, and so much ice if it were a bit cooler.

12:22 pm

dcseain

i've not done much hixing this year, as it's been so wet a lot of trails are mostly under water.
