2:42 am

Today I can play! I really regretted being too busy yesterday, the grid looked so promising. Thanks Krys10, for the stats!

2:53 am

izzy

c/7/44 leading to c/8/60

2:57 am

All I have to offer so far is S6/36 x 2 and S6/27.

3:03 am

sprite

Found the 7-8 combo. Nice find, izzy! Never thought of taking that direction myself.
And adding i6/21.

3:07 am

sprite

T6/24

3:33 am

sprite

O6/21 related to the i6

3:41 am

izzy

and a w/6/36

3:58 am

sprite

S6/18: the woman with the ample bosom is back!

4:57 am

sprite

One more Y, two more Ws, one more S... why are those last ones always so elusive? And why, when I finally find them, are they so obvious?

5:00 am

periwinkle

wilson27fan

Sprite,yesterday when i asked that question I did not mean anything by it,I do appreciate the stats I was just wondering how u did them because sometimes there are know stats when i do mine!HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ALL!!!

10:27 am

Bash

Can someone share a clue for the c7? Thanks, and Happy mum's day to the mums celebrating!

11:06 am

Treble99

Thanks for the stats Krys10

11:28 am

Krys10

I beolieve the last six hasn't been mentioned: it's a D6/27.

12:22 pm

boatierra

All these words where the second letter is 'i' are killin' me!!

12:23 pm

sprite

wilson27fan, I can't find anything unpleasant in your question of yesterday! Since it is the counting that takes up most of the time, I tried to find a way to let a computer do that for us. A friend of mine made the statmaker for me. You are all welcome to use it and save yourself some trouble. :D

12:28 pm

sprite

As for the 7-8 combo: I actually thought it meant something like "the act of making an exact duplicate".
But it doesn't. *lol* I'd better learn some more english...
The 7 is "a succession of rapidly alternating muscular contractions and relaxations (abnormality in neuromuscular activity)".
The 8 is the plural.

12:32 pm

Bash

thanks for the clues - I like YOUR definition! Helped me find them right away. :)

san fran is good. cool weather, friendly people, not like the rest of the us politically, etc. Very expensive, but you have the good end of the exchange rate right now, so it's a good time to visit.

Poems for Every Mother

M-O-T-H-E-R

M is for the million things she gave me,
O means only that she's growing old,
T is for the tears she shed to save me,
H is for her heart of purest gold;
E is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
R means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

--Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

3:21 pm

COMFERT

I Love You Mom!

Mom's smiles can brighten any moment,
Mom's hugs put joy in all our days,
Mom's love will stay with us forever
and touch our lives in precious ways...

The values you've taught,
the care you've given,
and the wonderful love you've shown,
have enriched my life
in more ways that I can count.

I Love you Mom!

--Author Unknown
