in8/45 - someone who means to do something
6:25 am
periwinkle
when you make a paragraph you usually in6. in8 is the person who does it. also an in8/45
6:25 am

in 8/45 - what an unpaid student who works for (say) a politician is
6:25 am
periwinkle
ty mattie
6:25 am

in8/45 - someone who leaves plenty of spaces before paragraphs (like this)
6:26 am
periwinkle
I just clued that one
6:26 am
mattygroves
in8/65 - in + past tense of rope or string

I just clued the in9; I don't have the re or de :(
6:30 am

The in9 is related to the in8/45 meaning regarding the paragraph spacing. Uses a common ending down the bottom of the grid
6:31 am
periwinkle
ty mattie

de9 is when you have to stay after school as punishment

oh.. hopefully it won't become a row of condos
10:47 am
BzznBea
But, we have planned for this. Have some extra set aside.
10:48 am
BzznBea
Condos! Hell, this is a neighborhood filled with section 8 housing and rental properties. The garden is the only thing that is nice about that five block area...
10:50 am
BzznBea
You know how I am about feeding the hungry. If we get that property and start producing food, we have decided if you show us your food stamp card, you can get up to five pounds of your choice of produce for free.

I received an email from a community member that works closely with the disadvantaged in this community. The need is so great.
10:53 am
rururocks
the need is great everywhere in this country
10:53 am
rururocks
unfortunately our government is more focused on padding the pockets of the rich rather than helping the poor and the homeless
10:53 am
BzznBea
We are not rich people by any means, but we have more than most. We will do what we can and try to figure out how we can do more...
10:54 am

that's an amazing attitude god bless you and Mr. Bzz
10:55 am
BzznBea
=) Thank you!
10:55 am
amelu0218
I love the neighborhood garden trend! I do not live in a neighborhood but totally see the need not only for fresh produce but the need for idle/bored hands to actually create something and give a sense of accomplishment/pride to those working it. God Bless, Bea. Thank you for your efforts!
10:58 am
BzznBea
Thank you, ame. It's all about education. But it is so hard to do that education when it is easier to get processed food and through it in the microwave...
10:59 am

I'm getting restless... I'm off to work in the yard...
