2:30 am
joym999
I have a UN 5/14...it's a compound word that seems to mean the same as it does with the UN
2:30 am
Angb
Yeh right ata - on which planet do they live? I'll just un5/14 my mail ... I don't think so
2:30 am
joym999
I mean without the UN.

Andree
and she who eats the rabbit could get hi7/40
2:41 am
herinfernallady
thank you for the clues
2:41 am
Angb
The butcher only gets one leg from the bunny so the bunny is lo 7/36
2:41 am
rolin
ch8/60 more to go with the fish
2:41 am
metaleather
then she might be a ch7/44 but she wouldn't be very ch7/44
2:42 am
Atalante
sh7 - someone who gives the bunny from butcher to customer
2:42 am
metaleather
and she might have to live on a gl7/40 even though her clothing was la6/21
2:43 am
Angb
Wouldn't she be cold?
2:43 am
Atalante
ohhhh brrr!
2:43 am
metaleather
probably so
2:44 am
Angb
And thnx metal
2:44 am
metaleather
her voice could even become ra7/32 and she could no longer find work as a re7/32
2:45 am

She would end up being qu 7/40
2:46 am
Atalante
qu5/16 qu7/40 even!
2:46 am
lynxxx
what couldn't she find work as ?
2:47 am
metaleather
and she could no longer afford her re7/28 sp 7/36 abode. her children would be ru7/32 and she'd then become a mere sp7/36
2:47 am
Angb
I think she is an en 7/32
2:48 am
metaleather
a re7/32 of poems, monologues and other wordy type things
2:48 am
Angb
Certainly wouldn't fin her in the chruch ch 5/14
2:48 am
metaleather
if she's gonna be a ch7/44 ch7/44, she'd better be
2:48 am

you might Ang...

i've been going all night and i only have 117 words. Stop the Insanity!

however, it's all moot since if she ate the rabbit cooked improperly, she'd have problems with her en6/18, severe en7/28 or 7/32 problems

My son works for te** support, which is a te 4 not accepted. There is a word te** + a negative, but that can't be made in this grid.

Haz - I was torn between wanting to hit 'Daddy' & feeling he needed therapy. How about you? (It was the sister-in-law who I disliked most.)
7:10 am
Haz1558
The sister-in-law was horrible. There was a softness underneath Daddy, but SHE was hard as nails.
7:11 am
Jacula
Ah, just Googled for the diary. Published 1981, apparently. Edited version, as she wrote over 2 million words. She continued writing the diary until just before her death in 1968.

Well, that diary will be something to spend my Christmas money on, apart from a new printer/scanner/photocopier. (Power unit in ours 'died' yesterday!)
7:13 am
Haz1558
I'm sure it would make interesting reading. I've just found a mantra for New Year DIeters - ch5/16 and ch5/16 won't give sl4/5 hi4/6. (On the book front, I'm looking forward to reading the second sequel to 44 Scotland Street)

In other countries (esp 3rd world) mothers use what is called "elimination communication"----kids are trained quite young this way--fascinating! Up intil the 1960's 95% of American kids were trained by 24 mo.
1:51 pm

Re: potty training, Chinese friends have told me that some families there just never put diapers on the baby. They have wood or linoleum floors they can clean up, and then put the baby on the pot constantly. I have only one, I found the diapers more convenient in some ways. When he potty trained, I realized I would have to start taking him into gross public bathrooms whenever we were out. (He's 3 and some months now.)

When my son was a little over 2 he was telling us he had to go potty. I didn't want to put diapers on him again and we went to the circus. Of course he had to "go" I had to climb over rows and carry him and by the time we got to the bathroom, he had wet his pants. You better believe we weren't leaving

My oldest son was the hardest to potty train. I finally made him puzzles, starting with a four piece one. Every time he used the potty he got to glue on one puzzle piece. When he finished he got a Matchbox car. The next puzzle was more pieces, but it finally worked when nothing else had.

hard earned experience, faerie. you can grate a little ginger in right at the end too - natural antibiotic qualities. and if you're really desperate, a little raw garlic and cayenne pepper - tastes disgusting but works wonders.

he looks a bit other worldly. I wish Merp would tolerate a kitten! But it just wouldn't be fair to do that to him at this stage in his life. He's so used to being the only center to our attention, and has never been the most stable cat on the block anyway.

I send another the next year and if their n-card repeats I cross them off my list. Assuming they haven't departed this vale of tears, in which case my card is usually returned by the post office
6:58 pm

TO: it has been my experience that not getting a Christmas card could mean that the person/family had a bad year; they didn't want to write a litany of downers and they certainly were not in a ho ho ho mood
6:59 pm
spanner
TO give them a call and wish them happy new year, if you dont youll always wonder what if...
6:59 pm
TeaNCrackers
i agree, life is too short, call them up - you should get a vibe if they don't want to maintain the friendship. Plus, you made an effort and if they still don't reciprocate, then you know.

7:39 pm
Natasha
I'm just about having that reaction myself haz!
7:39 pm
pam
haz, you are so funny today
7:39 pm
TeaNCrackers
I would, too, Haz - oh my goodness.
7:39 pm

I agree, scrabbler, it is essential , and too many people have NO clue
7:39 pm

7:41 pm
Natasha
AND they were proud of it, like it was a badge of honor. more like a badge of craziness if you ask me.
7:41 pm
TeaNCrackers
haz - they probably wouldn't have had twins. the chances for twins increases as the mother gets older!

7:42 pm
TeaNCrackers
some people can handle it - I could not, no way, no how! My two are ENOUGH!
7:42 pm
TeaNCrackers
Crackers was a twin, and we learned a lot about twins and their chances, etc. when we found that out.
7:42 pm
renfield
pl 7 sounds like a fl****** w/ a rain coat -insert a vowel for pl 8
7:43 pm
Scrabbler
Twins, triplets, etc are high-risk pregnancies.
7:43 pm
