1:48 am
sprite

stidmama, that doesn't really m6/21, now does it?
1:48 am
mab

why am I please that you and hurshy met? I guess because it's fun to know about babblers meeting, and because the two of your brains should really know one another a bit.
1:48 am
SueMagee

The 5/16 builds on the 4/5.
1:49 am
SueMagee

For the others think of what you would put on the floor and build from there. The eight is an odd word.
1:49 am
stidmama

woo-hoo! that gave me all but TWO, thanks sprite.

I really enjoyed meeting hurshy. She is so nice and such a pleasure to talk with. Glad we made you glad, lol.

oh that! I was referring to ren's icon of Robert Louis Stevenson - pretty amazing artwork.
1:52 am

la5/10 = cappucino with more froth

Well done Sprite! I've got a problem with the rankings. Despite having completed the grid every day for over two months I'm at 1029. Dr_G agrees that it shouldn't be 1029 but doesn't know how to correct it. The totals are to pot too. I completed a 4000+ grid earlier this week and only went up by a few hundred.

Go to sleep, you stidmama! No fooling around with story quality time.

I never understood those rankings and I hardly look at them. Strange, what you tell about the 'daily' rankings. Seems there are a few things in the setup of the site that aren't just that smooth.

I only found out accidentally, Sprite. I was waiting for the flip and went to look to fill in time. They never bothered me when I thought they'd be right, but it annoys me knowing that they're wrong.
1:59 am
sprite

Oh, I can imagine! Knowing they are wrong and not knowing how that can be, that is mighty irritating.
1:59 am
mab

I don't look at the rankings because I frequently, lately, don't finish the grid and it's not fun to see it decline. But wow, some people are hitting the stratosphere.
2:01 am
sprite

Mine are probably wrong too :)
2:01 am
renfield

annie and i found we wre not listed in the list of those who compelted the grid...so we decided we were twins and it wasn't really a rejection thingie...
2:02 am

You were right, renfield. It could NEVER be rejection with the two of you :)
2:03 am
mab

it couldn't be - look at that face of yours! who could reject you?
2:04 am

Did you all find the nonword Ts5/20? Past tense of what we all say when jilli announces she will go to bed early tonight?

How about a pretty bunch of flowers or potted plant and a special card?
10:56 am

or a cool vase for flowers for the house. that's always a good one.

Jacula

Buttonman - I did clue you before on the other word. See post at 10:53
10:57 am
Atalante

well then just stick to something generic - restaurant vouchers - we have something here where you can use vouchers in a huge number of different restaurants so you don't have to choose the place for her - or flowers / chocolates - everyone likes those!
10:57 am

a plant would be awesome. something fragrant like lavendar, esp. in the hot summer would b enice.

1:44 pm
aknitter

1:44 pm
aknitter

i stink at clues -- sorry, better at tourmenting people
1:45 pm
debbinla

i was a beautiful thing
1:45 pm
TheFiz

so, feather, have we won you over? i've got a good story, too, if that will help...

go look at how they're tormenting me!
1:49 pm
TheFiz

well, i've been conducting a scientific experiment in my house for some time now. I've always believed that eventually enough heat and pressure will build up, like in a nebula, and a new cat will walk out.
1:49 pm
FranMag

1:49 pm
mab

hi fran :)

You shouldn't put the cats in the dryer. They clog up the lint tray, and don't like it much.

Same thing with mitten which are so, so much better than gloves but definitely not cool

Well, I really like the Incarnations of Immortality -- just for the irreverence and interesting ways he pulled many belief systems into that one. Xanth, of course, they are hilarious. And he wrote another series The Blue Adept? Haven't read those in years, but they were really interesting when I was in high school at least...
