I am finding this one very tough... definitely a fish slap diz

there are 2 ar 8/50's ar + ma 6 for the 2nd one

I found an ar that is basically the ar with another 6 letter word attached.

wtg bro!!!

2:41 am

there's your feench coming out ruby

2:42 am

(((((ruby))))))

2:42 am

and I always look for the similar geological term....

2:42 am

how are you peach? Do you ave spring? We have flowers, but it's still freezing at night and grey in the daytime. Awful!

2:45 am

goodnight Dee, sweet sleep

2:45 am

Yes, finally, ruby. The Masters Golf Tournament starts Monday.....I hope you can see the grounds....they are beautiful, azelas and other beautiful flowers....I don't watch the game....just enjoy the course......I live about a quarter of a mile from the course. Traffic is horrendous. Hope you can catch a glimpse of it.

2:46 am

we had terrific azaleas the first few years, but little by little they've been killed or crushed by snow

2:46 am

grew up in a golfing family, that Tournament was always on our TV

2:47 am

as well as many others

2:47 am

Aw, that is too bad. They are one of my favorites.

2:48 am

I don't know how much TV coverage there'll be. If it's not rugby or soccer or the tTour, there's not much else except spottily and impossible to predict

2:48 am

and nary a baseball thrown!

2:50 am

watched a bit of the last Toronto BB game, being originally from the area, we remain faithful to them

2:50 am

Flosey, a lot of people rent their homes for the week and get tremendous amounts of money for them. One family I know gets $30,000 just for the week....they provide daily maid service and everything. The people who rent are screened carefully. Both airports fill up with private jets and parking is unthinkable. It is getting to be rather circus like outside of the grounds.

2:50 am

like me with the Mets

2:50 am

yes, exactly, ruby

2:51 am

phantom: mosque

2:51 am

wow, Peach, it truly must be like a circus

2:52 am

we have Irish friends who keep a small house here and rent it out every summer. It pays all their taxes and expenses for the year

2:52 am

that's a tidy sum to pick up for a week of rental - but you'd really want to know a lot about the renters

2:53 am

I have too much "stuff", could never allow strangers in here

2:55 am

Well, 'm dears, I think I will start winding down for the night....still have 72 for later in the day. Good luck to all. Oh, the Kentucky Derby is the first Saturday in May.....I'm still hoping for a triple crown....haven't had one since 1978, I believe. I was brought up in Kentucky but never attended a Derby....better view on the TV. Nite, nite, dear peeps.

2:55 am

true, you'd want to get some of it out to protect -

2:55 am

that's a lot of work

2:56 am

am there too peach, 70 to go, should get to bed -- soon

2:56 am

bye peach. It's like the Tour de France, it's better on TV, in person, they just zip past

2:57 am

2:57 am

Morning again, back fr some more

6:07 am

do you remember the scenein Young Frankenstein where Igor says, "it could be worse, it could be raining" and the heavens break loose?

6:07 am

Sunshine is glorious here, I have just put washing out to dry for the first time this year. Still unseasonably cold, though

6:07 am

Ooo, there's another naughty girl (itching powder)

6:08 am

when they are digging up the grave of "Ab Normal"

6:08 am

Yes. I love Young Frankenstein.

When my sister had gone through a long...um...dry spell...she called me up and played "Oh Sweet Mystery Of Life" when that was...um...taken care of. : D

6:11 am

{{sprite}} is your flu gone?

6:11 am

6:11 am

ROFL Molly

6:11 am

6:12 am

6:12 am

sorry about the flu

6:13 am

this too, they say, will pass ;)

6:14 am

flu is poop!

6:14 am

yeah, sure is. Poop!

6:15 am

*crosses fingers and toes* - never had flu

6:15 am

(moi aussi, glanta)

6:16 am

I have this well-funded opinion now and that is that flu is highly overrated

6:17 am

i agree, definitely overrated, i should never try it

6:18 am

:) So, how are you all doing today?

6:19 am

I m having a constructive day. Actually doen soe housework, some cooking, and some art. Lazing around in between.

6:20 am

need the middle e for nbt and the 9 pls. stats might help

6:20 am

wow, sounds very good, Glant!

6:20 am

er6 - latin mistakes

6:20 am

or eq6 - to be the same as

6:20 am

whatever drugs you're taking glant, send some over here, please. I have no extra energy beyond keeping the household together

6:20 am

9 is a weird word - opp of front and a small rodent

6:21 am

re9

6:22 am

ruby, i have been off the alcohol for weeks other than the occasional glass and have been following a diet to improve health. I have lost 10% of body weight, which is a big health milestone, apparently

6:22 am

aw cute word. Thanks Glant

6:22 am

didn't get the word, but that is good newsd for your health, glant!

6:22 am

trice wow, Glant! You gooooo, girl. Lovely to hear.

6:23 am

but i know from past experience that eating as healthily as possible makes a big dofference to my physical and mental wellbeing. discovered that during cancer treatments

6:23 am

ruby re4 +mo5

6:23 am

I just fixed my scale and learned that my weight fluctuates 4 lbs a week

6:23 am

ruby: the backside + rodent that would be a bird if it started with tit

6:24 am

i think everybody's weight fluctuates with a 5lb range - depends when you last drank, went to the toilet, how much you've sweated

6:24 am

very tr4, Glant. Healthy eating gives energy.

morning babblers :)

6:24 am

sweated? Not this year, glant!

6:24 am

soemtimes i sweat when i do the housework ruby LOL

6:24 am

I agree Glant. Which is why I am always surprised at the people who freak out about a one to four pound weight gain.

Sprite what a cute clue!

6:24 am

hi hi no no

6:25 am

afternoon Nanette

6:25 am

hi Nanette :)

6:25 am

I was ust surprised as I had no idea what I weighed as my scale was hors de combat for a long time

6:25 am

I just weigh myself when I get up on Saturday mornings

6:26 am

when my weight dropped from 120 to 100, I used to weigh myself every morning. But as it was down to 97 when I started running, I haven't worried since.

6:26 am

(I'm very short!)

6:27 am

I am still a VERY long way form 100 - I am down to 172, but I can now get into some clothes I've never worn, which is cheering

6:28 am

I'll bet y ou're a head taller than I, glant

6:28 am

now I won't weight myself for another year

6:29 am

I am 5ft 3ins

6:29 am

But I only want to get down to about150lbs

6:29 am

very tall, glant! lol

6:30 am

I used to be 5 ft 1, but not any more.....

6:30 am

5"3' is very tall? No way I'm posting how tall I am then.

6:30 am

my mum used to be 4ft 11, she's about 4ft 9 now

6:30 am

not only is molly naughty and smart, but she's very tall!

6:30 am

i think 5ft3 is at the bottom end of average

6:30 am

always depends on what you compare it to

6:30 am

my sister in law is 6ft 1

6:30 am

that is tall

6:31 am

my son's wife is close to 6 ft and he is about 5 10

6:31 am

the only good thing about being short is that you can wear very big shoes

6:32 am

?

6:32 am

I have great shoes!

6:32 am

oh, you mean very high heels

6:32 am

I think she means high heels.

6:32 am

platforms, etc

6:32 am

i gave up heels about 10 years ago LOL, only wear flat shoes npw

6:32 am

Hey, I may be tall, but I can strap on the spikes with the best of them. : P

6:33 am

I have a whole selection of great, funky and colourful shoes, but they are all flat - and very comfortable

6:33 am

I don't dress up often, but when I do ----- great shoes!

6:33 am

including red-orange crocodiles

6:33 am

I don't care for platforms, they are what I call "ankle breakers".

6:33 am

many of mine are turquoise

6:34 am

tell us the truth, molly, how tall are you?

6:34 am

I thought that Herin was our tallest

6:34 am

I'm 5'8".

6:34 am

I can even dance in platforms.....

6:35 am

I thought you would say 6 3

6:35 am

ah, 5 ft 8 is the top end of average *grin*

6:35 am

5 8 is perfect!

6:36 am

in college, I dated Paul Simon because I was the only girl shorter than he

6:37 am

THE Paul Simon?

6:37 am

yes, the one and only. He is VERY short!

6:37 am

Yes Glant, Ruby is our celebrity dater.

6:38 am

He was one year ahead of me at the local college

6:38 am

i know he's very short, is he very nice?

6:38 am

Are you into music too?

6:38 am

and molly is ghost-writing my sotry

6:38 am

I avoid celebrity like the plague LOL, but guessing Ruby dated jim in his pre-celebrity days

6:38 am

I only knew him when he was 17 -- who knows

6:38 am

hiya godthaab

6:38 am

story, even*

6:38 am

Hi!

6:39 am

Hi Godthaab

6:39 am

Hi Giant!

6:39 am

he had a band in high school, also with Garfunkel

6:39 am

but he was the only boy I knew who had a car; everybody else was too poor

6:40 am

he ad a '57 Chevy convertible, red and white

6:40 am

I think it was called Tom and Jerry, but I'm not sure my memory is correct as I didn't know him then

6:41 am

hi godthaab

6:41 am

Hi ruby!

6:41 am

I was never into celebrities as such, but I've known a few, probably from living in NY

6:42 am

and if molly sends me an e-mail, I'll name names lol

6:42 am

She dated one of The Lollipop Guild too, but she doesn't talk about that. : P

6:42 am

you are correct, ruby, wiki says "egan performing together in their junior year as Tom and Jerry, with Simon as Jerry Landis and Garfunkel as Tom Graph (names they were given by the recording studio)"

6:42 am

and she'll be shocked1!

6:42 am

and I was a giant

6:42 am

I am either too young or too foreign to know about the Lollipop Guild

6:43 am

Hint: Wizard Of Oz

6:43 am

isn'tthat from the Wizard of Oz, the "little people"?

6:43 am

snap, molly. I've heard that the new movie is a flop

6:43 am

It was a joke...that obviously...went over...very...badly...

6:44 am

(I got it)

6:44 am

I knew the new movie was going to be a flop as soon as I saw the bimbos they cast in it.

6:44 am

amazing that tsar is a phantom in this grid

6:44 am

I love the original movie and my son was brought up on OZ books, has many of the original editions

6:45 am

i am lost - which new movie - don't tell me somebody thought it was a good idea to remake the WoO????

6:45 am

it's twoo, glanta, and a big mistake!

6:45 am

some movies are such classics that you just shouldn;t go there

6:46 am

I havee tried to get DH to Watch it, as it often appears on FR TV, but he won't. But the "horse of many colors" is Worth the price of admission! Did you know that they did that with Jello?

6:46 am

oh, well, I have to go eat before i gte the low sugar shakes, be back for the last 60 this evening - enjoy the chat and babble

6:47 am

I was afraid of that Annie and Sprite

7:21 am

she and her husband had a very interesting story - he was a printer in amsterdam, worked for the resistance, they had to escape in the night....

7:22 am

Congrats sprite !!! :)

7:22 am

so many stories.....I wonder if we will ever know them all....

9:22 am

uh, ok, um, how is that a word

what thw what? what in the world is THAT???

9:22 am

9:22 am

tyvm foffle

9:23 am

yw it took me by surprise too

i read the derivation but...best leave that one alone.

the neologistic possibilites are...

9:25 am

I'm taking a break. bbl poof!

bye foff

Bye Foff. Off to Malta on Tuesday but will be in touch after that.

9:28 am

This is a traveling group of people.

really. it always takes me by surprise when i hear "off to Spain" and the like!

Well it's not far for us in Britain and Europe.

no! until i double check who's travelling, i am always startled.

9:30 am

There's a Washington in Britain?

and i hae a bad case of wanderlust right now anyway. but best be wandering off for errands anon.

That is where I am at the moment. I live in the original Washington where the Washington family originate. We have Washington Old Hall, which was their home just down the road from us.

9:33 am

I've never heard of it. I would have thought they would change the name <ggg>

The town is in the north east of England. Near to Newcastle. There is a plaque in Durham cathedral about George Washington's father and Washington Old Hall celebrate Independence Day on the 4th July.

9:37 am

Learn something new every day

9:44 am

I think it was Washington's great-grandfather who came to the colonies from Britain.

9:46 am

ingrate.

Not exactly sure but there is a plaque to John Washington in Durham Cathedral.

9:49 am

Lots of traveling back and forth in those days, especially for education.

9:51 am

That would be him Sandie. John Washington is George Washington's great-grandfather.

9:52 am

hey,, working on genealogy,,, thanks for the info!!

Ah well. That explains it. You should come to Washington Old Hall sometime. It is very interesting.

9:54 am

I think it would be fascinating to see the origins of the founding fathers. Lots of history in your country Sandie.

Especially here in the north where we are not far from Scotland.

4:46 pm

mollyL has a list.

4:47 pm

hi Round

4:48 pm

hi everybody. Proud of myself for finding a color beginning ce.

4:49 pm

Also Japanese wrestling.

4:50 pm

here they are hip deep in the battle over raw milk,round barn.people even get around the dairy council rules by buying a cow together and going co-op and sharing the milk vs actually selling the milk

4:50 pm

hi babblers

4:50 pm

find it too rich myself

4:50 pm

but makes amazing butter!

4:50 pm

howdy welki

4:51 pm

i would buy a share in a cow myself just to get that high butterfat content for good honest butter

4:52 pm

They wouldn't be able to stop people making their own butter - or drinking raw milk would they?

4:53 pm

cfoss, read my book--it's all about what you're talking about. I think my icon is raw milk (a kid out it on) --look up roundbarnstories on the web. In the movie, I'm a four year old rabbit. Or maube 3 yrs old.

4:54 pm

hi Welki

4:54 pm

heaven forbid people would dare make their own butter,lynxx lol

4:54 pm

i make it once in a while with 25% cream but it needs more bf

4:54 pm

yes, yhry are trying to stop people. If you buy it you have to bring your own container and stand on the other side of the property line and look the other way.

4:54 pm

sort of like saying you can't grow your own vegetables

4:54 pm

35%*

4:55 pm

full circle - back to butterfat, roundbarn :)

4:55 pm

5:02 pm

5:03 pm

it takes commitment and money. old lawyers and judges don't like to be proved wrong. And police.

5:03 pm

there are cold case groups all over ,led often by retired law enforcement people who do nothing but comb over old case and redo them with new dna tech

5:04 pm

we have groups of students doing that in our state

5:05 pm

behind the scenes many have to wait till judges move on,die or retire,then they can safely jump on cases without ruffling feather of sitting judges

5:07 pm

or these days i guess they just give them a tv show lol

5:41 pm

It is indeed, Molly.

6:41 pm

But my focus is on my alma mater right now...

6:41 pm

Such a loyal fan : D

6:41 pm

Well not really...

6:42 pm

As you know I am a die hard Kansas University fan. I usually don't get to root for WSU.

6:43 pm

Oops, was confused as to your alma mater.

6:45 pm

Molls, are you done with this nasty grid?

6:46 pm

I got my MA from WSU.

6:46 pm

7:09 pm

lol...yet here you are :)

7:09 pm

for 8 hours. not my favorite way to spend a weekend

7:10 pm

believe me, if there is an internet rabbit hole to fall down, i have been in it

7:10 pm

eekkk...

and glad to be here instead of stranded or worse.

oh a sunday class

7:10 pm

yes, TO, good to hear you are safe and not stuck on the side of the road or something

7:10 pm

(also, it feels weird being able to say basic words like "road" when so often we can't)

if you had seen the tire you would be as thankful as i am

7:11 pm

So you were about to leave and saw it was flat?

oops i KNEW i would do that

7:11 pm

hmm.. i refreshed and i still only see the old clues

7:11 pm

I had to right click and refresh to get them Wyrd

yes, car was in the garage. the tire separated

7:11 pm

ty smorres

7:20 pm

7:22 pm

I'm gone too. Told grandson we would go outside and make smores.

7:22 pm

PFFT!

7:22 pm

nice!

7:23 pm

Instant mashed potatoes are verboten in my house.

they make wonderful coating for items

and i find them very omforting to eat as well

7:26 pm

my dad uses them in soups a lot

if you get a good brand like idahoan

7:26 pm

me, i usually just make the real thing

yes, they are a good thickener

that is loively, geek. if you have the in the house and they are not !.0 per lb. and those the rejects to boot.

7:28 pm

back again

i am not in the ood for judgement tonight, i am frankly grateful to be alive. time to close the hog and finish

7:32 pm

i get lucky, my local veg stand usually sells bags of veg about to go bad for $1, usually about $3-4 worth, so i try and get those

7:32 pm

but potatoes and onions are usually good and cheap

7:34 pm

I like them to cook with..great to thicken things up.

7:36 pm

Down to 24..gonna go watch a movie with my daughter...bye :)

9:42 pm

hi all

9:43 pm

hi jes, ru, crayola

9:43 pm

hi jes

9:43 pm

i do that all the time crayola.. I'm a pro at re7

9:44 pm

how goes the battle?

9:44 pm

i don't think i lost the battle, but my body sure feels like it did. long day. how about you, Jes?

9:45 pm

today's been mostly good. past few days have been made stressful by the cse of stupidity the kid seems to have contracted.

9:47 pm

uh oh, doesn't sound good for anyone involved

9:48 pm

frustrating how a kid so smart can suddenly get so dumb when hormones are involved.

9:50 pm

what was the stupidity?

9:50 pm

ahhh, hormones...kinda sums it all up.

9:50 pm

<---is in total control of his hormones..

9:50 pm

many and long, ruru. but then he compounded stupidity by lying to us.

9:51 pm

so now he's on restriction, and his girlfiend is freaking out about us not letting him see her.

9:51 pm

<--- Liar

9:51 pm

What age is he?

9:51 pm

he's 16

9:51 pm

and despite being told that we have confiscated his phone, has called and sent 9 texts. we are debating whether we should be reading said texts.

9:51 pm

ah...

9:52 pm

the wonderful age of drama. poor Jes. just remind him you are a vet and know how to use the tranq gun! *wink wink*

9:52 pm

you should

9:53 pm

how's he texting if you have his phone?

9:53 pm

read the texts I mean

9:53 pm

and when we told her that he was not going to be able to talk to her for a while, she started in on the "someone should slap the silly twit" bs.

9:54 pm

"You are so selfish, ou're not thinking of him, you're only thinking of yourselves, you have no idea how much this is going to hurt him, don't blame me when you lose him, don't blame me when he stops talking to me!"

9:54 pm

he's not texting, dawg, she's texting his phone, which he doesn't have right now.

9:55 pm

uh.. this doesn't sound like long relationship material for him anyways

9:55 pm

ah, i'm torn on reading the texts. Trust issues for him, and just letting it all ride. How long is he to be without phone? Have the texts blocked and see how she feels about that!

9:55 pm

no, i don't think it's a healthy relationship at all, but has forbidding a 16 year old to date "that girl" ever worked well for anyone? hah.

9:56 pm

2 weeks sans phone. how long after that before he gets to visit or have visitors depends on how he handles himself in the next couple weeks.

9:56 pm

Tough situation jes..so sorry...

9:56 pm

worked for Bill Clinton jes :D

9:56 pm

drama queen. she's going to milk it for all she can. I hope he realizes why he's in trouble and how he got there.

9:57 pm

meanwhile, I'm assigning essay assignments - first of which was a 2 page essay on what qualities make a relationship healthy :D

9:57 pm

definitely block the texts, you're paying for them or someone is.

9:57 pm

did you shut down his email on his computer too

9:57 pm

oh, he knows, dawg. We don't believe in slapping random punishments out - we had a very long discussion about what we were disappointed in, what we were angry about, what he was being punished for, and what might seem like punishment but isn't intended as such.

9:58 pm

yes ru, he's de-internetted :)

9:58 pm

except for supervised use for the purpose of researching his essays

9:59 pm

good luck Jes. parenting teens is not for the faint of heart! stay firm! must be off to the pillows. take care everyone!

9:59 pm

sleep sweet, dawg

10:02 pm

Niters dawg...sweet sleeps

10:06 pm

sounds like you're doing all the right things to me jes

10:06 pm

his girlfriend surely isn't done causing trouble however

10:07 pm

no, she's certainly still at it... it's hard to believe how manipulative a little girl can be, and how naive the boy is. *sigh*

10:07 pm

Hopefully he will learn his lessons on women now, and not wait until he gets married to the wrong one...

10:08 pm

I, of course, put a lot of blame sq6ly on her mother, because that's probably where she learned it.

10:08 pm

thankfully, still too young to marry in this state!

10:08 pm

this conversation brings back bad memories of a drama queen girl friend or too. . .

10:08 pm

good news is he finanly got tireder of them than i was. . .

10:09 pm

turn the cell phone off. . .and put it in a drawer

10:09 pm

oh hah jilli

10:09 pm

hi all

10:10 pm

hi jmc :) how's the website build going?

10:10 pm

i made some real progress thanks to your sweetie. . .

10:11 pm

excellent :)

10:11 pm

but now i am back being bogged down in tax returns. . .

10:11 pm

i am sending email saying. . ."you didn't send me any information on income"

10:11 pm

heh. can you kick the IRS in the butt and tell them to send mine, already? filed it ages ago.

10:11 pm

uEW

10:12 pm

"yes I need all of your income infomation"

10:12 pm

hi tceicher

10:12 pm

did you file it electronically?

10:12 pm

hi tceicher! long time no see :)

10:12 pm

"no you cannot deduct your time at the charity"

10:13 pm

filed through an accountant - same one my mother uses, and filed the same day. her return got here 2 weeks ago. mine is still not here

10:13 pm

"don't need information for 2013. . . just for 2012"

10:14 pm

I suppose you need their SSN and to know whether they're married to, jeez, that's SO invasive! :P

10:14 pm

the accountant will have a pin number with which you can check on your return. . .

10:14 pm

sometimes it takes a couple of tries to jump through all the hoops with those electronic returns. . .

10:14 pm

IRS page says it's been filed and is being processed... that's it. no timeline or useful info :P

10:15 pm

Sheesh, my eyes are giving out...13 left...not sure I am going to make it...the ta's are a pain in the ****

10:15 pm

what i love are the emails back two days after they have signed off on the return saying "why didn't you put our 6 month old on the return". . . maybe because you didn't tell me you had a new kid?

10:16 pm

go jilly go!

10:16 pm

or they don't tell me they moved. . . .

10:16 pm

can I claim my dog, JMC? *innocent look*

10:16 pm

hahaha

10:16 pm

i bet you never get tired of that one. i certainly never tire of hearing it, and i don't even work in taxes!

10:18 pm

i had some new clients this year. . . the wife's cousin "does returns" and last year had them file separately to max Earned income credit and so the IRS wouldn't get suspicious had the husband use the cousin's address. . . the IRS caught on right away however. . .

10:19 pm

i tell them if the dog has a social security number we can talk about it. . .

10:20 pm

all these words look the same. . .

10:22 pm

i bet that was fun for them

10:23 pm

The t's are pure evil....

10:23 pm

well the good news is that because the IRS caught it and didn't give them the money without further proof they were not out as much as if they had gotten the refund and had to repay it. . .

10:25 pm

i dont even have 1/3 o fthe T words

10:25 pm

okay i am getting a cup of herbal tea and a trashy novel and calling it a night. . .with 134 left. . .bye all

10:26 pm

sleep sweet, jmc

10:26 pm

hang in there jes. . .they do eventually grow up. . .

10:26 pm

*poof*

10:26 pm

And I should have been in bed 30+ minutes ago...niters all...good luck to all

10:39 pm

congrats jilly-good night

10:50 pm

Hello all! Just got back from a little unexpected adventure

10:51 pm

hi min - do tell!

10:55 pm

I went out to go pick up my husband at the bar and ran out of gas. A very nice family picked me up and brought me home. Then I called my friends to bring me back to my car with some gas. It was my fault for driving on an empty tank. Always drive around 'til the light comes on.

10:57 pm

I do the same, Min. I've been lucky so far. It's never happened to me (knock on wood). I'm glad you found nice people to help.

11:05 pm

Actually, I didn't really find them, they found me. I took a chance waving someone down to help me at 11:15 at night.First time that has happened to me and hopefully the last time also. I should really learn my lesson now.

11:10 pm

Min, I love your pictures of Jack, he looks so intelligent and happy

11:12 pm

Are you babbling to wind down after your adventure? Not a very relaxing grid.

11:12 pm

Thanks CrissieDee.I'm not sure if he looks happy in some of the pics but he is for the most part.Jack is semi-intelligent.

11:14 pm

I work for people like jack ..

11:15 pm

Began babbling before my unexpected adventure. Grid is not so relaxing since Lickety is taking a break today.I have a list in my profile, but I am not listing. Don't care if I finish grid or not. I am just hanging out until the flip

11:15 pm

lol tor

11:15 pm

I work WITH people like Jack

11:15 pm

Lickety's list is up ..

11:16 pm

With 68 left to find I am much of the same mine Min.

11:17 pm

I believe Jack is smarter than my Assistant Principal. My AP believes that Paris is a country. I so wanted to correct her when she said it was a country, but that is so typical of her

11:18 pm

Lickety's up?Since when?Still don't plan on finishing though

11:18 pm

ty tor, it wasn't when I went to bed. It's 5.17 am here and I'm waiting for the sand fairy to return with the sleep dust

11:19 pm

I am still getting Thursday's list even when I refresh the list

11:20 pm

Oops!I'm wrong.Got the current list now, but it says Sunday

11:20 pm

Try right click & "reload"

11:21 pm

It is Sunday in Oz ..

11:22 pm

Amazing on how much faster I can find words with the list!

11:22 pm

Thank you Lickety!

11:27 pm

It really is a great resource ..

11:28 pm

It is a really good sanity controller with these kinds of grids

11:33 pm

Indeed

11:37 pm

I am stopping at 199 words and 1999 points. Now I will just wait for the flip and clue whatever words I can if you need

11:38 pm

ctually, i changed my mind. I am going to bed. Goodnight!

11:39 pm

Sleep sweet Min

11:39 pm

Night min

11:46 pm
