Hi, Une - 73 left here
7:01 am
hokie carla
ugh, I hate starting a grid with a U
7:03 am
ChampFit
That U hates me. I can't believe how many things aren't UN...
7:03 am
hokie carla
me too
7:04 am
hokie carla
untaut seems perfectly reasonable
7:04 am
mattygroves
There are quite a few things that are below (not over) though
7:04 am

The Us are kinda fun today, for the most part
7:59 am
mael
it's funny, there's a lot of below from the top U and a lot of above from the bottom U
8:21 am
ItalianGreyhound
kinda has to
8:24 am
hurshy
in this grid, yes, but i think she is contrasting it to a potential other grid in which the letters are in different places.
8:40 am
ItalianGreyhound
top row letter words trend down, bottom up. Any-hoo...
8:42 am
hurshy
yes but the point is the MEANING of the words
8:43 am
hurshy
you could have a grid with these same UN words, coming from the bottom, and the same UP words, coming from the top
8:43 am
hurshy
instead we have a mismatch
9:16 am

There's to record (or adhere) again and its plural. Or there's a thing that I think may be involved in cheese making and its plural....
11:28 am

12:44 pm
penquis

12:44 pm

If 43 is "wicked cold" you must hate winter.
12:44 pm
penquis

12:45 pm
bichon
Well, for Sept. it is cold

12:50 pm
hokie carla
we have certainly gotten wimpier since we were at Virginia Tech
12:52 pm
bichon
I grew up spoiled in NYC. The heat was always on. In 1972 we moved to CT and discovered you had to pay for fuel oil
12:53 pm
penquis
a rude awakening, i am sure...
12:54 pm

oh yeah. And then Rockford Files, Baretta, and now Chico and the Man :)
8:19 pm

Chico and the man isn't as great as the others. Now the Streets of San Francisco.
8:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
baretta -- good song, crappy show LOL
8:23 pm

Yes. Agreed. Although I was into it in the day.
8:24 pm

The song. I liked the show
8:27 pm
m9f9l
Hawaii Five-O now. I'll probably listen to The Prisoner next. Same vibe.
8:39 pm
m9f9l
Emergency has that vibe also, but just not as good.

Hi, all. I'm too entertained by the chat to get started!
Re: Barney Miller: as a bassist of course I love that opening theme! My brother met the bassist who brought his instrument in for work where my brother is a luthier.
8:47 pm
melonheadjujube
That, and Hal linden and Bernie Kassel are in a two-man play off BWay thru October. I'm thinking of getting on the train to see this show and visit friends. Hal Linden in particular is getting rave reviews.
8:47 pm
m9f9l
My brother and I would try and play it on our laundry line!
8:48 pm
m9f9l
I loved that show
8:49 pm
melonheadjujube
m9f9l re: laundry line. I LOVE that!!!!

We used to play "name that tune" a lot with the clothes line or a rubber band :)
8:52 pm
melonheadjujube
Thank you! I had a feeling I had the name wrong and was too lazy to Google®
8:53 pm
melonheadjujube
Rubber band music takes some talent, and a sense of the silly. Cool!
8:53 pm
m9f9l
What was the show around the same time as McMillan and Wife (which has an elevator music kind of theme song)
8:53 pm
m9f9l
That was a Cowboy kind of guy
8:54 pm

Reading your bio. Yay for battling math phobia. My semi retirement job is substitute teaching at my local middle school. I love teaching math, esp when the lightbulb goes on and a kid gets it, and knows they got it.
8:55 pm
melonheadjujube
So many phoantoms in this grids. I'm always seeing a word that would be there "if only" this or that letter. . .
8:55 pm
m9f9l
Sweet! Just got a friend through Algebra and then Statistics. She's hooked now :)
8:56 pm
m9f9l
It was McCloud! I figured it out :)
8:57 pm
m9f9l
I figured it wouldn't be a great theme song, because I couldn't remember it at all.
8:59 pm
melonheadjujube
Ah, you brought back a memory. I played in a pit orchestra. We used to challenge the cello section to play TV themes during breaks in rehearsal. They did a zippy Captain Kangaroo theme. They cracked us up with the theme from "My Three Sons" because they tapped their feet as they played it, just like in the opening credits.
8:59 pm
melonheadjujube
And now I'm going to take the evening walk I had put off. Fun chatting! Ciao for now!
8:59 pm
m9f9l
Have a nice walk!
