Miss ABS

The final bell just rang and the class took off... they all asked if I'd print them the newest so they could do it for homework! Very cute!

1:00 am

Miss ABS

1:01 am

Miss ABS

Hello Stid, nice to meet you.

1:01 am

stidmama

1:03 am

ilandrah

1:03 am

stidmama

Aussie-types... there is a map where you can show those of us on the other side of the world where you are.... frappr.com/babble, need more reps from "down under" to even out the US and UK crowds...

1:04 am

Miss ABS

LOL I think edoor should be a word, and ewindow too... then someone could pass the email through the ewindow as they walked by on the esidewalk.

1:04 am

stidmama

LOL Miss!

1:04 am

sunny09

heading back into shadows to bath kids.... back later for night session

knutmeg

It happened! It happened! The w*** I wondered about is in the puzzle!! What will we do if we can't ask for w***s????

1:06 am

stidmama

I just think we overpower the rest of the folks... I am still waiting for a South American, or African, or Asian, or Polynesian resident to show up on the map... I think it's too much to ask for Antarctica... but I can hope!

1:06 am

Miss ABS

1:06 am

stidmama

oh knutmeg, thanks! hadn't seen that yet!

1:06 am

1:08 am

kristinc

1:08 am

stidmama

jai! i am typing on Tom's unfamiliar keyboard in the dark... going to go soon, but hope you are well and improving daily. I think of you often.

1:08 am

gameboyguy13

1:09 am

jaianniah

lmao AGAIN....SUCH NAUGHTINESS...ALL THOSE W***s

1:09 am

knutmeg

1:10 am

Juice207

1:10 am

kristinc

1:10 am

1:10 am

knutmeg

kristinc

1:11 am

knutmeg

1:11 am

kristinc

1:11 am

jaianniah

1:18 am

stidmama

1:22 am

SamanthaJoy

libarebel! You got an icon!

1:22 am

libarebel

thx, all

1:23 am

kristinc

lib...I thought you went to bed?

1:23 am

knutmeg

don't worry libarebel, just avoid saying a w*** can sometimes be hard! so are wrong box accidents

1:23 am

sprite

kristinc, congratulations! Hope you will have a nice and gentle pregnancy and a smooth birth :)

1:23 am

Krys10

chat moves so much faster here! my head is spinning - going back to sudoku

libarebel

I did--should have stayed there -- back

1:23 am

jaianniah

dore

1:23 am

kierlex

when is baby due?

1:23 am

helenkeller

i think maybe new ideas for icons are in order since the box size is soooo small - headlines, just isn't going to cut it today

1:24 am

Juice207

haha krys, i like chats at this speed

1:24 am

kierlex

i have a 4 yr old and almost 8 year old... but i miss having babies aorund!

1:24 am

SamanthaJoy

OK, I'm repeatedly entering the same words over and over again. I must needs sleep now. G'ngiht

1:24 am

helenkeller

yeah lib, weren't you going to bed like an hour ago - same as me, lol

1:24 am

knutmeg

apparently, jai's accident is *my* fault? Ah the trials of doing the puzzle with family!!

1:24 am

helenkeller

bye sam

1:24 am

kristinc

The baby is due in August but we had a scare w/ pre-term labor next week. Was in the hospital 4 days but we're hoping with bedrest, we can get this guy to term...1st for us

1:24 am

kierlex

i should try this game in the morning insead of at almost midnight, probably i would kick butt =)

1:25 am

FMitch

helen, I can click on yr prifle and view yr icon in a much lafer window so it does work indirectly.

1:25 am

kristinc

goodnight samantha joy

1:25 am

kierlex

ohhh i am sorry, i was on bed rest for three months (some in the hospital but most at home), i had pre-term labor and pre-eclampsia. it's no fun to do bedrest...

1:25 am

kristinc

hmm...guess I should choose that phrase carefully as well

1:25 am

sprite

My good wishes fly right to you, kristinc.

1:26 am

libarebel

helenkeller--one two three--to bed

1:26 am

kristinc

kier...yeah, I know if we can keep this little one in the cooker that it will still be worth it

1:26 am

kristinc

thanks sprite ;)

1:26 am

knutmeg

okay, today's grid is definitely going to be impossible on chats... sprite... g4/7

1:27 am

kristinc

I know knut...I might hide my chat before I embarass myself more :)

1:27 am

kierlex

can you get up to shower and that kind of thing? i could only get up to potty and could only shower every 2 or 3 days (and then i would start contracting anyway) Hang in there, definitely one day at a time...

1:27 am

sprite

Lol, true knutmeg! But I found a beautiful G8/55 that goes perfectly with the F9.

1:28 am

knutmeg

yeah, a very springtime grid, but the g8/55's here are going to have a sad day..

1:29 am

piperb

re6/30 Think Les Brown

1:29 am

kristinc

kier...yes, I can get up for the potty to move outside to sit there too etc. We are also hoping that my issues were due to an infecion and not actual pre-term labor...will know more with tests tomorrow actually. If so, they may let up on strict bedrest

1:30 am

kierlex

ohh, well, best wishes for that. my baby eventually came only 3 weeks early but she was 4 lbs and had 3 knots in the cord and wasn't breathing, etc. But now she is 4 years old and perfect in every way =) knock on wood haha

1:30 am

kristinc

okay, folks...thanks for the kind words. Off to bed for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful night.

1:31 am

sprite

Sleep well, kristinc :)

1:31 am

Hi ya Haz!!! Bet you are glad to be back home with the glaes etc they have forecasted. Did all go well?

2:57 am

Haz1558

Yes thanks - we had a very smooth crossing and I was glad to have made it over early as the winds last night were fierce. We haven't had the heart to empty the car yet!

2:59 am

Haz1558

Some of Fiona's flat-mates were still there and I was shown one of their rooms, pre-cleaning up. It was a jaw-dropping moment!

3:00 am

FMitch

LOL re the car & the flat!, unloading and then finding space for it until it has to all go back again!!!

Bit of a sticky grid today but some good w**** in it today. :)

3:01 am

Haz1558

I think the garage will have to be pressed into service. Theres definitely no room in the house.

Hi amanda, sounds like a good day to be babbling then.

3:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning amandacath - it's an indoor day. The grid has some interesting words today so it should be fun. Eearly morning optimism may be replaced by afternoon despair)

Preethi

aegile

3:23 am

amandacath

Morning, Preethi, Sue! Why isn't "negro" accepted? Not a very nice word, granted, but it takes others where I feel like I need to wash my hands after I type them

3:24 am

Haz1558

ga8/55? - one who is interested in horticulture

3:24 am

gameboyguy13

amanda, I was just wondering the same thing

3:24 am

Preethi

hmm

3:25 am

Preethi

got it Haz.. Thanks!!

3:25 am

Kateq

I think Negro is considered a proper noun or a spanish one

3:25 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Preethi.

3:25 am

Cat9x

I think it doesn't accept it because its Capitalized

3:26 am

Preethi

'Mornin Amanda

3:26 am

Cat9x

exactly Kateq

3:27 am

gameboyguy13

the fact that it's spanish shouldn't keep it out :P there have been several foreign language words that have been accepted before. "adios", anyone? but yeah, probably because it's considered a proper noun, I guess

3:28 am

Haz1558

It is capitalised in the dictionary.

3:28 am

amandacath

Oh, the inconsistencies of Enable. I doesn't capitalize "jids" - oh, ick <washes hands>

3:28 am

3:35 am

jean1953

wow are you involved in rda i used to help with that

3:36 am

jean1953

i may need to ride with them myself since my knees have become affected with arthritis and mounting and dismounting is now difficult

3:36 am

Haz1558

Yes - I'm the secretary of our local group, but my job mainly involves making the tea and coffee!

3:36 am

jean1953

i presume its the riding for the disabled lol

3:37 am

Preethi

It is great to see how much the children enjoy their riding. It's a big boost for everyone.

3:39 am

mrpresident

Hi trishtrash! :)

3:39 am

jean1953

it certainly is haz horses are a great thing for them i used to have my own but not so these days

3:40 am

Haz1558

We had one autistic girl last session who never spoke in school but who was quite chatty with the horses! The teachers couldn't believe it.

3:40 am

Atalante

how do you get the children / adults who can use the services? do they have to apply in some particular way?

3:40 am

rosalind230

my 6 year old granddaughter is learning to ride. She loves it.

3:41 am

SamanthaJoy

This Grid Is AWFUL

3:41 am

jean1953

isnt that brilliant we used to take a few downs syndrome out on them and they loved it, thats brilliant rosalind my daughters learnt from a young age and it teaches them so much about caring and looking after animals im a great believer in it

3:42 am

Haz1558

Atalante, we have groups coming from special schools in the area. One group is physically handicapped youngsters, one is mentally handicapped and the other group comes from a long stay mental hospital. It's a long-standing arrangement with the schools involved.

3:42 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh for god's sake. Can I STILL not communicate in the chatterbox?

3:42 am

jean1953

where is it you live haz?

3:42 am

gameboyguy13

samanthajoy you're showing up for me

3:43 am

FMitch

Whats up Samantha>

3:43 am

Haz1558

Jean - I live in Ballymena, Co Antrim.

3:43 am

rosalind230

and me

3:43 am

Atalante

could individuals come to a group and ask if there is space / time for them? I'm just wondering about my friend with Crohn's - she's often moaning about not being able to ride easily anymore

3:44 am

jean1953

what a fantastic place haz I love coming over to Ireland I come over to armargh to take part in some re=enacting at the ulster american folk park occasionally

3:44 am

Haz1558

Yes, she could ask. We have a couple of individuals who come along and slot in with some of the older ones. She should ask at her local group to see if they could accommodate her.

3:44 am

Haz1558

What role do you play, jean?

3:45 am

Atalante

oh cool!! I'm sure she's never thought about that, and being able to ride again, even once in a long while would cheer her immensely, I know!

3:45 am

jean1953

i usually end up playing a inn wench from the 1750s based on settlers going to new england it includes french american indians and when my knees were not so bad i got chased by indians lol

3:46 am

SamanthaJoy

I wonder if anyone else can see what I'm entering in the chatterbox? I may never know, mind you.

3:46 am

jean1953

yes we can samantha

3:46 am

Atalante

I can see you, Samantha

3:46 am

Haz1558

If she is used to riding, then it would be a big mental boost for her. Our 80 year old, who died a few years ago, had ridden all his life until paralysed, thanks to a car thief knocking him down. The first time he got back in the saddle after his accident, he burst into tears and pronounced it 'Bliss'!

3:46 am

SamanthaJoy

But seriously: XFEEE? What kind of a row is that? I'd be offended if I were the type

3:47 am

jean1953

well i can i dont know if anyone else can lol

3:47 am

rosalind230

I can see it Sam

3:47 am

SamanthaJoy

Whoa. This is interesting. People are responding to me even though *I* can't see what I'm saying.

3:47 am

Atalante

she always rode until her crohn's became too bad to be able to ride easily. and there's a group near her, I've just looked it up - I'll phone her and suggest it in a minute!

3:48 am

mikenz

i have a simialr porblem i dont understand what i am saying

3:48 am

Great- I do hope they can fit her in.

4:06 am

gameboy: this grid is mostly about endings. There are a few nice ones in there that fit after some surprising words.

4:07 am

5:44 am

definitely killing my spine!

5:46 am

libarebel

Eva, are you HS class of 67-- we rule ya know

5:47 am

cliffopa

morning everyone :)

5:47 am

libarebel

all this talk about brain cells--I've counted both of mine

5:47 am

Eva

yup-class of 67. First year at college in Chicago were the riots after MLK was killed. Then Kent State. Very dramatic times,, but much more hope in the air than now-a sense that a lot was possible. A lot less depression.

5:48 am

Eva

cliffopa-there you are!!! I was asking about you the other day. How hace you survived the flooding?

5:48 am

libarebel

:-[]

5:49 am

Eva

of course if you ended up in Vietnam, because you weren't middle class and couldn't avoid the draft, they weren't exactly hopeful times.

5:50 am

cliffopa

no problems with flooding in my neck of the woods thankfully. was having a lot of back pain so couldn't sit at my desk much. also, playing with my kitten for hours!

5:51 am

Atalante

have we mentioned all 4 8's - there's a fi, ga and lo and a ??

5:51 am

libarebel

we went through such a time of political/cultural revolution; I'm so glad that I was present (and participitingi) n my youth

5:51 am

Eva

glad to hear it. Aside from the fact that we're all growing mold here in VT, no flooding problems. Kitten play has got to be one of the most healing acitivities in the world. How is she doing? Has she got everyone in the house wrapped around her little claws?

5:51 am

Cat9x

there is wo8/65

5:52 am

Eva

I am glad I grew up then and not now.

5:52 am

I have the fi, ga and lo....what is the fourth one?

5:52 am

Eva

Think I'm going to go for a walk in the rain. At least while it's raining there aren't any blackflies.

5:53 am

Cat9x

its wo8/65, i'm missing the lo8

5:53 am

Atalante

thanks cat. stupid word!

5:53 am

Cat9x

yes I agree, very stupid :)

5:53 am

libarebel

we're finally on our own

5:53 am

cliffopa

i feel so badly for anyone with water/dampness problems from all this rain. i'm allergic to mold so we have a good system in place just in case. Brady, the little devil, is just about the cutest thing i've ever seen. and he is a cuddler - i lost my last cuddler 4 yrs ago. i'm soooo in love.

5:54 am

libarebel

5:55 am

Eva

I lived in Union Square for one year-1972-3, then moved to Western MAss, then back to JP from 89-2004 when we moved to Vermont. Still have our place in JP though

5:55 am

libarebel

cliffopa, ty for asking-- I'm fine but my folks in Lowell are hurting

5:56 am

cliffopa

5:56 am

Thanks Cat...

5:56 am

oh! he is gorgeous! whats his name?

5:56 am

Cat9x

5:56 am

Atalante

*indulges in new kitten envy*

5:57 am

cliffopa

his name is Tom Brady, Brady for short. he's named after a NFL football quarterback for our new england team - the patriots.

5:57 am

libarebel

I've lived in JP and Warren Ave, just off Union Sq.-- love Jp--how's VT?

5:57 am

Atalante

and a cuddler .... how perfect!

5:58 am

Eva

me too-the envy. Was at Agway;s yesterday and they always have a few kittens from the shelter by the counter, for adoption. 3 sibs-all crosses between longhair white & burmese. So hard to walk away from them, but Merp would have eaten them for breakfast.

the quarterback is also one of the cutest things i've ever seen :)

5:58 am

libarebel

I so wuvs lil kitties...

6:00 am

Eva

Vermont is wonderful. Have never been happy living in cities. Beautiful, quiet, strong sense of community, very little sense of ambition, and a lot of tolerance for eccentricity. But also very whitebread-no cultural diversity. And no Whole Foods Markets. Miss that a lot.And miss the MFA.

6:00 am

Atalante

my kitten has got into a very strange habit of launching herself at windowframes / doorframes etc and clinging on for as long as possible - like this - http://www.atalante.f2s.com/sily_windo
w.jpg !!!

6:02 am

burke

-lol- how does it get down? don't cats tend to climb to high places then get too scared to get down?

6:03 am

cliffopa

they are fun to watch - atlante, just emailed a few pics to your hotmail email address

6:03 am

Atalante

she just lets go and flops LOL silly kitten

6:04 am

Atalante

and she obviously has some secret agenda because she spends literally hours clinging to things

6:04 am

libarebel

I'm surprised at no Whole Foods Markets; the MFA and cultural diversity are at odds right now, more so than ever

6:05 am

Eva

atalante-tried to see the photos, but it says the URL is not found. Checked for spaces and didn't find any so don't know what the problem is.

6:06 am

cliffopa

i'm having the same problem as eva.

6:06 am

Eva

Vermont has very strict regulations about big box stores and they consider Whole Foods one, so wouldn't allow them to build in Burlington. All the big box stores are in one place-Williston, so I'm hoping that Whole Foods will go there.

6:06 am

Eva

see you all later. Good meeting you llibarebel.

6:07 am

Atalante

wah :( its http://www.atalante.f2s.com/

6:07 am

Gail

Eva - any sunshine in your corner of Vermont? It's so wet and gloomy here in Rutland. I am pining for a trip to Boston, but since I had both knees replaced three weeks ago, I am trapped in the house.

6:07 am

cliffopa

eva, i wish NH was more like VT. not far from here (about 10 miles- close to interstate 93) the box stores are multiplying like rabbits.

6:09 am

emtiandeca

Gail, I miss you. I need my fellow babbler at my elbow.

6:09 am

cliffopa

atalante-she is quite a climber isn't she :)

6:09 am

Gail

Pat!!!!! I wanna come back to work!!!!

6:10 am

Atalante

she's obsessed with climbing! give her something vertical, and she's be up it in an instant!

6:10 am

cliffopa

wow, 3 vermonters on at the same time!

6:10 am

Eva

Gail-no sun to be had here....sorry about your knees. Wow, both at once. I guess it's better to be laid up only one time. But Boston has been a soggy mess-much worse than here. Looks like it's clearing there today though, and going to continue to rain here for a while longer. Everyone please keep you finegrs crossed for good weather for the 27th, for the 4th Annual Adamant Blackfly Festival.

6:10 am

Eva

cliff-we've discussed this before. You are in the wrong state(-:

6:11 am

6:14 am

Haz1558

Hello all. Back for another go at the grid.

6:14 am

Not too bad with the flooding in Central Vermont, but then I can only see outside my bedroom window.

6:14 am

6:17 am

{{{jera}}}}} I'm fine --- getting ready for our Court of Awards tomorrow night

7:59 am

Jera

Really, so soon? We are meeting this summer so no rush for us... we won't COA until actual summer, I think...

8:00 am

musicmom

Yes so many of my girls do camps in the summer it is easier to do it before school is out. We aren't bridging until fall though

8:00 am

shorty

faerie I'm watch a movie called Dazzle Its about faeries

8:00 am

Jera

It was a unanimous vote to keep meeting all summer... don't understand why, you'd think we have fun or something...

8:00 am

celsotavora

don't make it shorter, melon

8:00 am

melon, opposite of high..ly

8:00 am

We are meeting through the summer too but will never have more than half there at any given meeting

How many in your Troop? If I've asked before, I've forgotten...

8:01 am

faeriekae

Shorty is Bedazzled?

8:01 am

celsotavora

and remember, high life is boring

8:01 am

musicmom

It keeps changing. I started the year with 8 but am down to 6. Not bad for Cadette troops in this area though

8:02 am

musicmom

I'm thinking about letting each of the girls plan a meeting next year.

8:02 am

shorty

Love your icon faerie

8:02 am

Jera

Very good for Cadettes... you are actual Cadettes, not "teen scouts"?

8:02 am

musicmom

with guidance of course

8:02 am

FMitch

good clues celsotavora

8:02 am

musicmom

My girls are choosing to retain the Cadette name.

8:02 am

celsotavora

:)

8:02 am

shorty

yeah on starz

8:02 am

faeriekae

LOL Shorty you picked a good one also LOL

8:02 am

melonheadjujube

celsotavora - that clue filled in the L in 2nd column.

8:02 am

musicmom

They are resistant to change - have wanted to be Cadettes since they were Brownies

8:03 am

Jera

I love a traditional troop.

8:03 am

faeriekae

Shorty is the name of the move Bedazzled?

8:03 am

shorty

no just Dazzle

8:03 am

faeriekae

I don't get Starz :(

8:03 am

that is good shorty!

melonheadjujube

frieda - that works - tx

8:03 am

libarebel

thanks, Haz

8:03 am

Jera

I keep picking up new Girls who have never been Scouts before... so I have the weird troop.

8:03 am

musicmom

It is their choice - but I'm glad - I tend to be a traditionalist as well

8:04 am

freida

yw, melon

8:04 am

musicmom

I have been hesitant to pick up new girls because these girls ahve been together for so long. I'm afraid there would be trouble assimilating someone new.

8:04 am

musicmom

I have very friendly girls but there is too much history

8:04 am

Jera

Did I tell you about my Retro Scout workshop I'm planning? Where the Girls earn discontinued Badges?

8:04 am

musicmom

No but that is very cool

8:05 am

faeriekae

brb

8:05 am

Jera

I think that's why I keep getting the newbies... they would feel funny in a Troop where everyone has been together forever...

8:05 am

jbp

Jera, that sounds way cool...can I come along? ;-)

8:05 am

musicmom

where are you going to get the badges- are they available?

8:05 am

Jera

The Sprite is working on Collector & Housekeeping. She's my guinea pig! I also want to do an Indian Lore one, I miss that aspect..

8:06 am

Jera

The more the merrier, jbp!!

8:06 am

jbp

on my nhonor....

8:06 am

jbp

honor, that is

8:06 am

musicmom

Black Diamond has an Indian Lore one --- we did it a couple years ago.

8:06 am

Jera

I buy stuff on e-bay in the other section of Girl Scout stuff. I have lots of old books, uniforms, insignia

8:06 am

musicmom

very cool!

8:06 am

Jera

A badge?? We earned their Try-It... loads of fun... is that your Council?

8:07 am

musicmom

I have really been thinking about your banned book week idea -- may incorporate next year with a service project

8:07 am

musicmom

Yes a badge - yes that is our council.

8:08 am

musicmom

I can get the requirements for you, if you like

8:09 am

melonheadjujube

le clue?

8:09 am

Jera

I'd love that... my e-mail is in my profile & I'll send you my snail mail... or you could attach it, save a stamp. Do I need to do anything to get permission?

8:09 am

melonheadjujube

that wasn't french btw

8:10 am

Haz1558

le - roman army division

8:10 am

musicmom

I don't think so. I'll check with our Field Director at 10 when she gets to the office.

8:10 am

musicmom

I have your email

8:10 am

Haz1558

Or a stern French army corps

8:10 am

Thanks bunches!

8:10 am

haz - how'd i miss that? i'ts a pow (plain ol' word)

8:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, but you have to go round in circles!

8:11 am

musicmom

what is your council?

8:11 am

Nation's Capital

8:11 am

how many letters for the le clue?

8:11 am

Haz1558

le6/24

8:11 am

musicmom

Cool! Are you guys going to be affected by the shifting of council lines

8:11 am

Jera

But I'm also affiliated with Shawnee... co-leader with Sprite's old troop before we moved.

8:12 am

musicmom

You sound like me --- I'm in two service units

8:12 am

jbp

could i have a different clue then? not up on my roman/french stuff...

8:12 am

Haz1558

jbp - body part, then charged particle

8:12 am

jbp

omg, never mind. i'm a dork

8:12 am

Jera

I don't think we will (Nation's Cap), but Shawnee. Sprite's old troop is supposedly going to Skyline, which is a good council.

8:13 am

jbp

add aire and it's a disease

8:13 am

musicmom

yes I've heard of skyline. We are supposedly getting parts of other councils but Black Diamond will stay intact.

8:14 am

Jera

The division was rather unfair to Shawnee as there are many lightly populated areas & not very wealthy

8:14 am

Haz1558

Lunch time! Will be back later.

8:14 am

that is sad

8:14 am

8:16 am

Hi again. Good evening. Oh, what an evening. My daughter's weeping over a dead goldfish. Thing is...she's 15 (the daughter, not the goldfish)

1:11 pm

1:11 pm

Kallia

now ge 5/14....

1:11 pm

Kallia

oh I mean ending....

1:11 pm

Kallia

I will keep quiet now

1:12 pm

hurshy

that is a weird one. like fantasy/sci fi, western, romance, etc, only change the last vowel.

1:12 pm

smithchick

LOL, Kallia
Poor thing, matty...be sweet to her and give her a big hug.

1:12 pm

tndaisy1960

good clue hursh!

1:13 pm

FMitch

1:13 pm

1:14 pm

FMitch

It is a little "enhanced" isn't it tndaisy

1:14 pm

hurshy

jbp - that's what i just gave you at 1:12.

1:14 pm

smithchick

Okay, I still don't have an r off the bottom. Help!

1:14 pm

hurshy

put up the sails again smith

1:15 pm

hurshy

and find a way to structure your sentence differently

1:15 pm

smithchick

I've got that one...It's another that I'm missing.

1:15 pm

smithchick

Oh, let me try that second one, hursh.

1:15 pm

tndaisy1960

smith...to lubricate again?

1:15 pm

hurshy

well you see i did both to be on the safe side.

1:15 pm

jbp

hursh, i din't get that clue...

1:16 pm

smithchick

I've got that one too.

1:16 pm

jbp

i wanted it to be genre
but it isn't

1:16 pm

hurshy

those are all TYPES of literature jbp..., or ge5's...

1:16 pm

hurshy

right well that is why i said "but change the last vowel"

1:16 pm

jbp

1:16 pm

1:16 pm

jbp

thanks hursh!!

1:16 pm

hurshy

smith - mine or daisy's?

1:17 pm

hurshy

if you have the sails and the sentence one, then you CAN'T be missing a bottom r.

1:17 pm

smithchick

Yours hursh. Now about that ri6?

1:17 pm

hurshy

it's an adverb, smith.

1:18 pm

smithchick

okay...

1:18 pm

hurshy

but i am very puzzled about your bottom R situation. perhaps you need to refresh?

1:18 pm

smithchick

Dumb word...

1:19 pm

hurshy

and please, all, do read hurshy's guide to boxes, just click on my icon...

1:19 pm

tndaisy1960

1:19 pm

smithchick

So my last r must be an ro. I've got five.

1:20 pm

hurshy

there are two 5/12's and two 5/18's, smith

1:20 pm

smithchick

No, hursh...I've got it now. I meant it was your second clue that was what I was missing. About restructuring a sentence.
