2:13 am

They reclassified my position so that I needed accreditation for my accounting. So after 21 yrs I was no longer "qualified" for the job.
2:13 am

Yeah... I'm going again in October
2:13 am

My Aunt that raised me up there died in April; Hubby's MS has progressed and he's taken disability retirement; and I've been off work for over 2 months from work injury. Oh; and we totalled 2 cars so far this year (neither our fault, thank goodness)
2:16 am

yes, The good news is it was work-related and I got workers' comp; the bad news is I needed surgery. I'm not sure yet if my return to 4 hour shifts of PAPERWORK is good or bad yet! YUK! Hopefully I can start *REAL* nursing again soon! (I just started back to work for the 4 hr shifts last week)
2:23 am

2:30 am

taz - go to google images and type in the category you want. When you find the picture you like, right-click on it, choose 'save image as' and put it in your My Pictures file with a name that means something and .jpg or .gif afterwards. Make sure it is saved that way. Then go to My Account and Edit, go down to Browse. It will take you to your My Pictures and the one you like. Click on it. You'll go back to Edit and click on Upload. You'll pobably have to refresh. At the same time, do your profile and don't forget to 'Update Profile'. Also 'Show Profile'. Hope this helps.

Yes, unless if they ate us, remember in Episode VI when they wanted to eat Han, LEia, Chewie, and Luke?

Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

10:45 am

well Cathy, you know you could always move south -- we live in a lovely climate, a dusting of snow once or twice a year with a few inches that stick every three to five years.... :-P
10:45 am

10:47 am
stidmama

Was tired of the long hair, for one -- it was always getting caught in something... and then I know several folks having chemo, so thought I would send it off to Locks of Love for children who need wigs.
10:47 am
stidmama

hi tingy!
10:47 am

11:04 am
Haz1558

In reply to hetty and Jera's criticism re the clue I gave for cr6/21 - hurshy asked for a quick clue, I gave the quickest I could think of, without consulting the dictionary to find the proper meaning. I apologise if my quick clue was seen as being insulting - it was not intended since I didn't realise the origin of the word.
11:04 am
WordsRock

How is the cr6/21 ethnic in any way?
11:04 am
Jera

Um, no... not seeing someone in a coon's age refers to the masked animal , not the AA term

snowy, just read your post. When my son and his wife divorced, she wanted each to take one of their cats. He held firm that they would not separate the kitties so he moved back home with his 2 cats, who drove one of our two cats crazy. Lots of competition among the 4. But I'd do it all again to help him out. Luckily, marriage was short and no kids. He's remarried to a wonderful wife and they have a 2 and 4 year old now AND the same 2 cats from the first marriage!

2:49 pm
nrkii

I usually get 60-80% hunting, but I try to be sure I check every letter... then I check the tile stats to see where I've done particularly bad and fill in those ... then come to chat for help ... then go to list
2:49 pm
ch1212

seano your icon is soooo amazing and kind of creepy! Mine has some similarities in the creepy part.

Hi everyone, I have just signed in to have a look and see if I could get any more words, I don't seem to be able to, but I am up to 155, so that's pretty good, huh?

2:51 pm
chj

krista...i get as many as i can ..just me and the grid...usually about 2/3's of the list...then i input what i have in licketys list and go through it alphabetically...it helps to know what word comes before and after the word you need and the point total....you can then eliminate certain letters

thanks nrkii - I had almost monkeyed that but wanted it to end with the sometime vowel!
2:55 pm

first park slope, later chelsea
3:00 pm
scv

the double typing is only annoying at the beginning when you have a flood of words. so to battle that, i do one letter at a time by the grid at the bottom.. that way after im confident ive found all i could, i go to lickety and type in all the c's or all the t's.. whatever i've just spent a little time on
3:00 pm
Ping

long ago for me too, jilli
3:00 pm
onyx

me too, ex, ny er
3:00 pm
chj

i dont type every word but look at each two letter combo and see if i need that extra info...so i only wind up typing a select few words
3:00 pm

then its not so bad later on when im only typing every few minutes late in the game

3:11 pm

unlike some, i enjoy using the list because it involves a certain amount of logic intead of just pure monkeying
3:12 pm

krista, sometimes I do that, but mostly, as soon as I discover the ending, I go back right away, then work to remember the ending on all the other words
3:12 pm
seano216k

i agree chj, i like it when you work out what a word should be by tile values alone...very satisfying when a word you've never heard of turns green!

4:32 pm

Hi PT!
4:32 pm
PappouTed

stidmama, pappou means grandpa in greek. My dad passed away last month so I picked a name to honor him.
4:32 pm
Douglas

Under 200 words to go...woo-hoo!
4:32 pm
helenkeller

ty stid - much appreciated
4:32 pm
PappouTed

oh, his first name was Ted
4:33 pm
stidmama

I am so sorry about your father -- this is a nice tribute! (what is your name, or how do you want to be called?)
4:33 pm
helenkeller

aw pap - that's very sweet of you :)
4:33 pm
PappouTed

I'm Penny, but that was taken when I first signed on
4:34 pm
stidmama

yippee Douglas! *starts looking more urgently...* (Douglas is going to be ahead of me in no time.)
4:35 pm
stidmama

Penny -- that is such a nice name. Is it short for Penelope (since you have the Greek?)
4:35 pm
PappouTed

actually it's short for Pantelia (which is really greek) it's a name you find on our island of Kalymnos.
4:36 pm
stidmama

okay, monkeys seem to be on strike... CR 6 please?
4:36 pm
Jen34

love the name Pantelia -- how pretty
4:36 pm
stidmama

oooh! another place I have not heard of *dashes off to look at map*
4:36 pm
Jen34

stid, slang for an idiot, or cr + vowel + metal
4:36 pm
mymuseisme

cr6 is insult for slow, unintelligent person
4:37 pm
mo

stid....a fool!!...not you that is the clue!
4:37 pm
PappouTed

thanks, my sister got the normal name, she's Maria, LOL
4:38 pm
stidmama

oh, and the capital of Kalymnos is Pothia, and there are sponge divers there and everything! It sounds just lovely, Penny!
4:38 pm
Douglas

I laugh that cr6 is in the puzzle, because here in St. Paul, that is the name of a well-traveled street, because one of the first bishops of St. Paul has that name, and there is a high-school named ******-Derham Hall, where Joe Mauer went to school.
4:38 pm
stidmama

thanks muse and Jen and mo (and the word does seem to resemble me today...) LOL
4:38 pm
Jen34

*sings* I just met a girl named Maria . . .
4:39 pm
stidmama

I was looking at the wrong CR starting point...
4:39 pm
PappouTed

stidmama, it really is beautiful, my sister and her family went for 3 weeks last month and my nephew fell in love with it. I haven't been there since 1983
4:39 pm
Douglas

Don't forget that there might be more than one slow, unintelligent person lurking in the grid...
4:39 pm
Odin

Thanks all
4:40 pm
stidmama

So how cume, if Kalymnos is so much bigger, I hadn't heard of it, but have heard of Patmos?
4:40 pm
mymuseisme

hmm type in a word, says I've already en5ed it, but it doesn't show, anyone else have that happen?
4:40 pm
stidmama

forgive the typos, please, I am only barely functional this afternoon.
4:41 pm
Douglas

Because Patmos is in the Bible, and Kalymnos isn't...
4:41 pm
stidmama

try refresh, muse, sometimes that sorts things out...
4:41 pm
stidmama

ah. Yes, that explains it. thanks, Douglas!
4:41 pm

Nothing against Kalymnos, you already know it's a wonderful place...

I've been strangled
All choked up inside
Swallowed all my pride
Roped and hogtied
Been tied up in knots
That's all I got
Gimme glove shoes
This ain't no way for havin' fun
I could run away to Spain
But I'd just get tied again
I could run off to Jamaica
If this bondage I could breaka
I could run away to Spain
But I'd just get tied again
I could run off to Jamaica

8:49 pm
jillibus

Iwas given a choice of school when in China and going elsewhere - boarding in Canada or England - I chose more or less on the basis of uniforms! The English one was best -- one of the Canadian ones offered middy blouses, ugh.

Keeley, I'm sorry you're having a rough time here today. This chat log is different from other sites like MySpace, because we're generally concentrating on finishing this puzzle, and we don't generally like a lot of texttype and caps.

are you a card counter
10:44 pm
leighprefect

Nope, not smart enough to count cards. It was just an empty table that me and four friends sat down at to play together for shits and giggles. I started with 25 in chips, the minimum bet at the table, and ended up with 155 there during the hour the dealer was there. Then we walked around, people played some games, but by the time I got to sit at another blackjack table, it was five and I was tired and some ass was smoking a nasty cigar and it was making me sick to my stomach.
10:44 pm

10:48 pm
leighprefect

Ouch. I took two hundred down with me. I'm poor, after all...But I had a lot of fun while it lasted and since I was a casino virgin I was very happy with the help that the dealer was giving me and my friends throughout our hands. Most dealers wouldn't bother with that.
