4:29 am

byz, are you on a new regime with your meds? you seem better to me.

((rosie)) I have an unmailed letter to you sitting on my desk but, as it has to be weighed, it beomes complicated

4:30 am

no probs dear friend. have you heard from sprite lately? she is MIA and i am a little concerned.

4:31 am

Rosie, how is your pain? Mine is better, but still taking morph.

4:31 am

ruby, did i tell you? your last batch of books has sparked an absolute reading frenzy in DH. he can't get enough of henning mankell and kurt wallander.

4:32 am

Byz, what meds do you take? I take close to 20 pills a day, which is pretty bizarre

4:33 am

That's great! I'll send more with the letter/packag. Next week, I promise

4:33 am

i am so glad your pain levels are finally decreasing. that makes me very happy. my pain levels are also decreased. next monday is FOUR weeks since my last infusion therapy. and i am feeling very like my old self.

4:34 am

Your self is not so old!!!

4:34 am

um...ruby....how do i tell you?? hmmm. himself went on-line and found all the kurt wallander books and bought them.

*giggle* ruby...gosh i love you.

OK, so I'll look for something else for Don

4:35 am

Better to tell me now, lol

4:35 am

at least you have some idea of what entertains him.

4:37 am

I have, literally, 1000's of books in the house as when we first moved here, my sister used to send me 11 or 12 every month and, like Don, fter one Wallander, I bought all the others.

4:37 am

Burt even read some of them

4:38 am

byz, c'mon back mate. we are your friends. and i love to 'hear' what you have to say.

4:38 am

Have you seen the TV series? It's very well made, maybe 6 parts, very nicely done, starring Kenneth Branagh

4:39 am

come back, Byz, I didn't mean to scare you off!!!

4:39 am

I think it's a BBC production

4:42 am

i don't recognise him.

4:43 am

Kenneth Branagh? He was in Henry V with Emma Thompson and has been in a huge range o movies and TV series

4:44 am

He's a great actor, even in some of his occasionally silly roles

4:47 am

will look out for him then

4:47 am

I feel like I'm making progress with this grid, but I still haven't broken 100.

4:48 am

byz appears to have gone AWOL. a pity. i enjoy his conversation.

4:48 am

hint ruby...don't forget words ending with t can also swing to the left and hook up with the s.

4:49 am

There's a wonderful movie named something like "Pirate Radio3 (I don't know the actual name), with Bill Nighy and Phuillip Seymour Hoffman. It's about rock and roll in 60's England (maybe 70's)

4:49 am

Gee, I could use a few more t's NOT

4:49 am

oh i have seen that one. it is one of don's favourites.

The Boat that Rocked (here in the UK)

4:50 am

Mine, too

4:50 am

Thanks, Matty, and hello

Morning! It's Saturday - I had a bad night (just couldn't sleep - mind racing) but I'm still in bed awaiting my love to bring me crumpets and coffee :)

4:51 am

It's very cold here at night and in the early AM, but the afternoons are gorgeous. How about in the UK?

4:51 am

we showed the Woman in Gold last night at our movie night in church. there was absolute silence at the end. helen mirrin is such a wonderful actress.

Today is a bit grey and still a bit chilly. I am waiting for sunshine and warm weather!

4:52 am

{{hugs}} matty. i hate those sort of nights.

4:52 am

The afternoons are great but, unfortunately, I'm not able to do the needed gardening

4:53 am

I don't know that movie, Rose, but I love Helen Mirren!

You should see Red. Helen Mirran stuffing a body in an acid bath (it's a comedy action film)

4:55 am

oh, matty, that is one of our faves. we have watched it soooo many times. i love bill nighy.

4:55 am

She can do anything.

Also, Excalibur and 2010

4:55 am

have you seen the movie where bill is a french assassin?

4:57 am

How about Love, Actually?

4:58 am

and the something, something of Power, where he is a newspaper editor. It was re-made with Helen Mirren in his role and Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck

4:58 am

yup, another goodie ruby

4:58 am

Not that I'm a movie addict or anything, lol

4:59 am

okay... you have stumped DH....he is looking it up...

5:00 am

Even though I have a satellite, the choices are very limited, so when desperate, I binge-watch <Netflix

5:00 am

5:03 am

ruby, was the film the state of play?

5:03 am

YES!!!!

5:04 am

okay...LOLLLL

5:04 am

I've seen both versions at least twice

5:05 am

After Burt died, I bought a new TV for the bedroom and a laptop. If not for the dogs, I would probably never get out of bed!

5:07 am

5:11 am

My fault, "nosy NNel"

Anyone have the un7/40?

NM - found it!

7:02 am

A word of questionable validity

Indeed.

I reckon the to6/21 and 7/32 are alternative words for moobs.

7:07 am

Moobs?

Man boobs.

7:08 am

Wow, there are made up words for everything nowadays

So true! though I suppose one could argue *all* words were made up...some time.

7:08 am

One could

7:09 am

matty could you clue the un7/40?

A homonym for (say) a poem that is free verse, perhaps?

If the Ancient Mariner wrote a novel rather than a poem?

7:10 am

OK, there are two Ss. But not in the right places

7:24 am

I think I know the one - makes you want to pee all the time...we had a cat with it once (and I've had it - not fun)

7:57 am

Normally starts with cy, yes?

7:57 am

add that to a number in the grid

7:57 am

hi phae

7:58 am

yes mlf..it starts with the em4 and ends with the em8

7:59 am

No, I'm not talking about the itis ending. I'm talking about an entire problem that is a 3 letter abbreviation

7:59 am

i have one em4

Oooh - gotya!

Feeling rather thick!

8:00 am

i got that word as i have had some of those in the past

8:00 am

The medical people were abbreviating long before texting came along : D

Ya gotta love a TLA ;)

8:01 am

that's because the medical terms are too hard to pronounce or spell

How is everyone feeling about the de7/36?

8:02 am

Some of them are. Blood pressure isn't but it's been BP for decades.

8:02 am

i don't have it

We had some snow yesterday and may get some today and tomorrow. But it is Maple Syrup Weekend here in the northeast so my sister is coming down with her 2 grandsons and we will go to 2 maple syrup farms. One has farm animals and another has a hayride through the woods.

8:29 am

sounds very Currier & Ives :-)

8:30 am

Yes, and in the fall these farms are busy with pumpkins, cider, hayrides, and other activities. I love living in the country.

8:31 am

sounds like you have the best of both worlds . . . the charming and oldfashioned as well as the modern :-)

8:31 am

There are some places that have pancake breakfasts but then we would have to drive farther with the boys.

8:36 am

Going to be a very short maple syrup run here. Getting too warm, too fast, but we had minus 13 last night and plus 4 for today, so prime sugar maple tapping conditions.

Hi welki.

8:50 am

wv my husband has talked about it

8:50 am

HOWEVER, this fall, almost everything was pumpkin spice flavored around here...way to much overload.

8:51 am

Believe it or not, I just recently had chocolate cheesecake for the first time. Oh my God is that good.

8:51 am

lots of buckwheat grown around here - can get buckwheat flour in the stores

8:51 am

dark or milk chocolate?

8:51 am

have had that molly yummy

8:51 am

Dark

8:51 am

yum

8:52 am

I agree about the overkill on the pumpkin flavored stuff Car. That went on around here too.

8:52 am

just absurd

8:52 am

car i noticed the same thing pumpkin and spice :)

8:52 am

Matt bought dog food with pumpkin in it by accident

8:52 am

Dog hated it

8:53 am

dog food with pumpkin in it ... are you serious????

8:54 am

yup, it was everywhere

8:54 am

pumpkin that is

8:55 am

i am amazed that dog and cat food has human food in it now not all cats and dogs eat that stuff and they make that too

8:55 am

Pumpkin dog food? Gads, who thought that was a good idea.

8:55 am

in the dog food

8:56 am

un7/40 pls

8:56 am

molly someone who is not very smart apparently

8:56 am

actually, one of my cats likes pumpkin. and it's one of the few veg products that i know is good for cats, occasionally a lil bit fiber helps them out

8:56 am

Hi Hurshy, yes, many animals love it. Just not my dog

8:57 am

Hi peri

8:57 am

hi car

8:57 am

Same with rabbits. I always keep cans of pumpkin herein case one of my rabbits get ill, then I can feed them pumpkin by syringe.

8:57 am

Occasionally, a little bit of fiber helps us all out : D

8:57 am

agreed molly

8:57 am

scrab but rabbits eat carrots:)

8:57 am

which is good for them too

8:57 am

clearly there's a reason the fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a carriage - it's a magical food!

8:58 am

Rabbits are not supposed to eat carrots--very high in sugar content.

8:58 am

hurshy si it really good for them?

8:58 am

:)

8:58 am

scrab i had no idea

8:58 am

in small amounts, esp if they are having a small digestive prob, either constipation or diarrhea

8:58 am

#1 food for rabbits = grasses and hays.

8:59 am

un7/40 pls

8:59 am

still looking peri

8:59 am

peri looking ...

8:59 am

I do not see it in morewords

8:59 am

I am choking I am laughing so hard. My sister just sent me an Easter recipe for "Empty Tomb Rolls". You gotta love Pinterest.

8:59 am

scrab then why do we always see rabbits with carrots in photos on cards etc?

9:00 am

molly that sounds weird

9:00 am

why do we see heart shapes that aren't shaped like actual hearts? because somebody sometime did something for some reason and it stuck...

9:00 am

Do they have the little jesus in front of them or are they just the rolls?

9:00 am

hurshy hmm

9:01 am

It is a widespread myth that rabbits should eat carrots, but rabbits should eat grasses and hays for a high fiber diet.

9:01 am

I think the carrots and rabbits goes back to farm days when they would steal the carrots out of the crops.

9:01 am

No, they are just empty Car. Very strange. Can you imagine the look on your kid's faces on Easter morning? : D

9:01 am

from Mr McGregor's garden you mean car?

9:02 am

I think in some religious families, the kids would love them

9:02 am

Even before then MLF

9:02 am

car :)

9:03 am

They eat green tops of carrots, and I give them Romaine, red leaf, green leaf, parsley, and cilantro. Mine have never like Swiss chard.

9:04 am

I stand corrected....It came from Bugs Bunny!

9:04 am

11:24 am

Hi folks

11:25 am

Morning ori

11:26 am

How is the moving going ru?

11:27 am

Ok. My computer isnt working yet

11:28 am

and yet, you still play. using smart phone?

11:28 am

I mean, and yet, I still play, using smart phone.

11:29 am

wow. you can do this using smart phone? I find that incredibly frustrating

11:29 am

I am still organizing stuff. But sleeping well . It is really quiet here

11:29 am

It is ridiculous to do the phone on this game

11:30 am

I give anyone who can play this game on a tiny screen with tiny keys a lot of credit.

11:30 am

me too.

11:32 am

Tiny mind... tiny screen ...works for me

11:33 am

My football loving son can do all kinds of things on his tiny phone screen, but he needs a HUGE tv to watch football on. : D

11:35 am

I wish i had a big screen tv. Not enough room and too expensive

11:36 am

they've come down a lot in price

11:36 am

I think if you have not a big room then you do not really need a big TV.

11:37 am

My parents have a reasonble sized room but the TV is huge and way too big for the room and they wonder why they keep getting headaches!

11:39 am

I can't get into a GIANT tv taking the entire focus of the room. And don't get me started about people who put flat screen tv's over their mantle. I think that is the worst look ever.

11:45 am

is amused that it5/12 and sm5/12 are anagrams of each other

11:50 am

It is indeed :-)

11:52 am

What amuses me is the fact that Mi6/24 can mean either 60 seconds or very small!

11:53 am

you guys are easily amused :)

11:53 am

Something about the Pope being on instagram disturbs me.

11:53 am

and thanks for the clues!

11:54 am

Is he..did not think he would have time for that .

11:54 am

i'm sure he has a minion that runs it

11:59 am

ba-da-da-dump Neat ba-da-da-dump Sweet ba-da-da-dump ba-da-da-dump ba-da-da-dump ******

12:05 pm

Now I am picturing the Pope surrounded by minions from Despicable Me

12:09 pm

I thought totty was a word.

12:27 pm

Well 146 words down. That was not too bad but time for a little break I think.

12:28 pm

I will take the break in PB for Ti4/5 :-(

12:30 pm

I have one left - the first ot6/18 (not the cute aquatic mammal plural - the other one)

12:30 pm

1:54 pm
