12:12 am

Andree

i realised she must be in one of the bigger hospitals , not so far from me and asked her if she would like a visit

12:13 am

Andree

so she gave me the room number and then last night when i mentioned it herin gave me a different room number but i went to the one given me

12:15 am

Andree

popped my head in the door and said something like i'm andree, pronounced diffrently to written word and she was on the phone looked blank so i dashed off thinking it was the other number

12:16 am

LadyNatts

we're all waiting here with baited breath....

12:16 am

Andree

there was an old lady in that room so iwas standing outside wrong room and one of the nurses asked me the name of the patient i was looking for

12:17 am

Andree

and i said i don't know, it was hilarious

12:17 am

LadyNatts

I can just imagine it.

12:18 am

Just1Mar

I love Amersterdam, sprite. My friend used to live on Prinsengracht and another friend lived on a boat in Loosdrecht. I really miss Holland.

2:46 am

mrpresident

And, the lady who they were interviewing looked and sounded like you sprite!

2:47 am

oh, and we could take you canoeing on the Loosdrechtse plassen.

2:48 am

Elsh

I need a proper visit to Holland myself. The only time I visited I had bad experiences that had nothing to do with Holland itself.

2:48 am

mrpresident

oh sprite! give it up beautiful lady! hope your day/week has been good :)

2:49 am

sprite

that is bad, Elsh. To Americans, Holland is tiny, but it still has many great places to visit and enjoy.

2:49 am

Elsh

Hopefully I will have money again one day!

2:49 am

herinfernallady

RH sometimes vowel and thank you common

2:49 am

2:49 am

sprite

mrP, my days and weeks are not going great still, but we are coping. And hubby is a lot better now, so we are moving in the right direction. (hug(

Haz1558

www.morewords.com is an online resource. You type in the first two letters, or as many as you know in the word you're looking for, leave dashes for the rest and the site brings up a list of possible words.

3:41 am

herinfernallady

Sorry and thanks haz

3:41 am

Haz1558

It's very useful, also a2zwordfinder.com does a similar job.

I agree ema, and that's how I play this. first get all words I know, next play with combos and last resort to the list. But the whole grid without anything is just wasting precious time

Heck, why not take the dog. If I can have an easier time later it'll be good. She sits down or walks backwards when we get within a block of the vet. She weighs 112 pounds and can slip out of her harness, so that CAN be a hassle.

5:27 am

MonkeyGames

phandmd, yes it can be dangerous, what with the road so close there and all. It's REAL funw when I need to have the toddler along. I think I'll call the vet from the corner; it always works out if they send someone out. That person takes the leash, and I walk to the vet. I can't get 6 steps before teh dog gets worried and follows me. OK, off I go to deal with the cargo trike tire! I think I will take the dog along to get her worn out early.

6:31 am

redturtlehead

You may have it, it is nice sticky stuff. I want nothing to do with it.

6:31 am

redturtlehead

6:31 am

P.J.

Life is good! I adopted a kitten from the animal shelter yesterday and what a sweet heart! He is black&white,4 months old and he'll be a good company for my Silkey,we had to her buddy put down in Jan. and she really misses her. "Lots of smiles now...:-) Red,the monkeys are on their way:-}

ardilla

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Next week they will sedate her and take X-rays, but we started the med to give her some quick relief. Yes, I adore my bunnies. Last yr I spent over $900 on her when she has urinary sludge and needed a 4 day stay for hydration and flushing.

6:35 am

P.J.

Oh Scrabes I'm so sorry,I love bunnies!

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Callie is 7 yr 7 mo--geriatric, but full of spunk still. She is lying down next to me in this room--my shadow.

6:35 am

ardilla

6:36 am

Scrabbler

6:36 am

ardilla

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Aha, cool, Ardilla.

6:36 am

Dorens

morning all.... Scrabbler, are you really asking for more snow???

6:37 am

ardilla

6:37 am

ardilla

only cats, dogs, and ferrets can go with you

6:37 am

carleekat

there.... am finished

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am really loving the cross-country ski season--it is helping me to lose wt and tone up.

6:38 am

ardilla

carleekat

i HAVE to lose weight...having hubby home means bigger meals ALL time... i've put on LOTs of weight

6:41 am

ardilla

*deploys all purpose cleaning monkeys*

6:41 am

EmaMaria

i've just been sorting through the huge pile of unread books in the bedroom and trying to throw out the ones I will never ever read - I have enough reading material for 10 years in there ...

6:41 am

EmaMaria

I think I have a book addiction ...

6:41 am

carleekat

THROW OUT BOOKS?????

6:42 am

Uniquity

I hope by throw out you mean give to someone else to read, or sell to used bookstores, or donate to charity!

6:42 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbler, you could take up running, though most people seem to hate it.

6:42 am

EmaMaria

well not throw them out send them out into the world to inspire others ....

6:42 am

Dorens

And with babble a daily compulsion, who has time to read them?

6:42 am

carleekat

that... that.. that... that.... that....

6:42 am

Scrabbler

EmaMAria, I have 74 books on my wish list on Amazon.com----so many books and not enough time for reading.

6:42 am

ardilla

*last monkey has portable alternate universe to place homeless crap*

6:42 am

redturtlehead

I am sure she means bookcross them. ema, have you heard of bookcrossing.com?

6:42 am

Dorens

something about xcountry skiing that is so much more than running or walking

6:42 am

redturtlehead

ardilla has a great monkey fleet, withhoadags.

6:42 am

Uniquity

Whew...man. I was about to have to call the book police

6:43 am

redturtlehead

Depends on how you run Dorens.

6:43 am

Scrabbler

I cannot run, RTH, although I tried it in college. I am overweight so gliding on skis is easier, or mountain biking, or kayaking. I am "fat but fit", if that is possible, and trying to get back into former shape/size.

6:44 am

ardilla

only problem...the monkeys won't work in my room...afraid of the beta...lol

6:44 am

EmaMaria

## hangs head in shame at poor word choice ##

6:44 am

redturtlehead

Well scrabbs, I dont know how to ridea bike, sowe are even there.

6:44 am

carleekat

no I hadn't heard of book crossing but I am there now...wonder if anyone elseinmy city is..not bloody likely

6:44 am

Dorens

probably true, red. I can't run either though

6:44 am

redturtlehead

and I havestill to lose 4-6pounds.

6:44 am

P.J.

I'm on the best diet in the world!!!!!!!! I got off the "net" it is called(weight lost for idiots. I have lost 40lbs.since Sept.and my Dr. said it is very healthy to be on. I can eat like thiss for ever.:-}

6:45 am

redturtlehead

If Idid not run I wouldsurely be in the insane asylum now.

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Wow, hodag! That is great!!!!

6:45 am

carleekat

turtle..what is ur boocrossing screen name?

6:45 am

babsmgl

how many words today?

6:45 am

redturtlehead

101

6:45 am

Dorens

101

6:45 am

babsmgl

thanks

6:46 am

redturtlehead

I am Katiebell there, I think....longstory.

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I am going to write a weight loss book titled, "Eat Less and Move Your Ass".

6:46 am

redturtlehead

I only do wild releases. As a traveler, its really fun!

6:46 am

Dorens

hah scrab.. i tried that one!

6:46 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Scrabblerthat is my diet, eat less and move more.

6:46 am

ardilla

i'm on the "got sick and coughs too much to eat much" diet...it works like a charm...lol

6:46 am

redturtlehead

So far,I have lost about 60 pounds.

6:47 am

P.J.

It is awsum and I have a ways to go but I'll do it. I have a few disabling problems which caused me to gain a lot of weight but that is changing now!!

6:48 am

carleekat

well..there are 10 books in my city...

6:48 am

Scrabbler

I lost 60 lbs from '91-'92, then slowly gained it back during a series of 4 abd/pelvic operations from '98-'03. The '03 surgery invloved removal of ovaries, so instant menopause turned my metabolism into that of a rock.

6:48 am

Dorens

what is the basic premise behind it, hodag? carbs, fats>
?

6:48 am

Dorens

menopause (the regular, gradual kind) totally messed with my metabolism. like 180 degrees

6:48 am

Scrabbler

RTH + Hodag--you are inspiring me to really eat less and really move my ass.

6:48 am

redturtlehead

Yay Scrabbler, it is very hard tolose it thesecond time around is what I am finding.

6:49 am

redturtlehead

I found eating less was the most difficult part.

6:49 am

Dorens

scrabbler, i know that you move... you're always running out to tennis, kayaking, xcountry skiing

6:49 am

redturtlehead

Carlee, are you a bookcrosser?

6:50 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbler, I think yo uhave moved more than I recently. I have just been running when I can, and nowwith this yukky snow.

6:50 am

carleekat

i am now..i just signed up

6:50 am

carleekat

and I think I will go by where all the books have been left....today on way to work..and check it all out

6:51 am

redturtlehead

Yay Carlee! It is really fun! I don't know much about the book exchanges, but I enjoy looking for and wild releaseing when I am on road trips.

6:51 am

Scrabbler

I need to do more intense exercise on a daily basis. The skiing has demonstrated to me what intense total body exercise can do for wt loss.

6:51 am

carleekat

its one store

6:51 am

redturtlehead

Cool!

6:51 am

Scrabbler

I will check out that web site--TY.

6:51 am

ardilla

6:51 am

Turtle, I've been releasing books for a couple of years

6:51 am

ardilla

hi inge

6:51 am

carleekat

we don't do "road trips"... but..there is a coffee shop here in town...that seems to be the "spot"

6:52 am

Inge2

Hi Ardilla and friends

6:52 am

carleekat

my trouble is..even after I read a book..i just cannot give it up..i might want to reread it in a few years

6:52 am

billmster

Food up!!

6:52 am

EmaMaria

I tend to give the few that I am able to let go from my library to oxfam but I like the idea of tracing them out in the wild

6:53 am

Inge2

My motivation is, I give up books that I can easily get frmo the library if I want to read again.

6:53 am

Scrabbler

Now I have to move my ass to the children's hospital to see some kids for morning rounds--bye all. Enjoy the day!

6:53 am

redturtlehead

I guesswith all the moving I do, I figure it will always be in a library someday. I mostly crossthough trade mystery paperbacks.

6:54 am

redturtlehead

Carlee, I don't actually do "roadtrips" but I cover lots of miles for my job....since I move every 13-26 weeks.

6:54 am

redturtlehead

bye Scrabbler.

6:54 am

carleekat

6:54 am

Hi Scarlet.

Still a mess, deb... still very wet, and I have been push-brooming as much of the water out, as I can! Hi, red! How goes the job interview?

9:23 am

redturtlehead

My basement? I dont have one.

9:24 am

debjed

does anyone have the E in the fourth row?

9:24 am

redturtlehead

Everything is settled, Scarlet. I have the apartment I want, the shift I want, a little bit of a commute, but all is settled, just one little issue left.

My debate is that I need to set up A good trainer, and they all know him. DO I tell them I know him in an attempt to get better service.?

9:26 am

Scarlet

Well, that's the message, red. There are thousands of real men out there, dear... and one has your name stamped on his heart.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

Scarlet, your mood seems up!

9:27 am

Capng

thanks

9:27 am

Scarlet

I would not mention anything about him, red. It's a sort of emotional blackmail that will boomerang in the future. Yes, I have MADE myself get right with the world!

9:27 am

redturtlehead

yes, but what do I do about the gym...hes a local star, so I am sure it would enhance my service....but then again...he is also a jerk,

9:27 am

Capng

is there a clue for the qu?

9:27 am

qu plus past tense of eat.

9:27 am

praise2him

goes along the very bottom of grid Cap

Indeed, Scarlet. Imagine how long it takes to get the gunk off every night?

9:34 am

Uniquity

Haz looks so darn pretty with her natural look :)

9:34 am

Why, thank you, Uniquity!

Hi, Uni! ( Don't tell Haz, but I prefer the non-pink look!)

9:35 am

Uniquity

Scarlet, who is in your icon?

9:35 am

praise2him

guess my brain wasn't going in that direction

9:35 am

Scarlet

You poor thing, Haz... do you use a sandblaster to get off the first three layers? LOL

9:35 am

Uniquity

Oh yeah, G'morning all...back from class #1, 18 more words listless

9:36 am

Scarlet

That is me, Uni... with my third granddaughter at her Christening two and a half years ago.

9:36 am

Uniquity

I wondered if we had two pretty ladies showing their real selves today!

9:36 am

debjed

any more help for the tu7?

9:37 am

Scarlet

FMitch wanted me to post a personal shot in the hope that Atalante would pink me up to join the Legion of Pinkness with Jacula, Haz and herself... LOL

9:38 am

Uniquity

Ata tricked me into putting one up, but it only lasted a few minutes :) I prefer to look like a green/blue robot M&M

9:38 am

evanonut

tu7/40 tu + 365 days spelled differently + plural

9:39 am

Scarlet

What does M&M mean, Uni. Hello, nutness... I cannot be a pirate... but I can be the rum-runner for the shore contingent.

9:40 am

Uniquity

Like the little chocolate candies, Red. I don't like to eat them, but they are fun to design, heh

9:44 am

Scarlet

You look exactly like my oldest and dearest friend from Pennsylvania, deb! Yahoo!

9:45 am

Scarlet

EM + **e cream cone

Scarlet

The infection clue was epidem**

9:49 am

Haz1558

I think my houseproud mother suffered from a sweeping disease.

Scarlet

Is Ata all right? I haven't seen her for a few days.

9:52 am

FMitch

Hello praise, Hi Scarlet and Haz! et al. I have returned to my original pink persona, a tad more flattering.

9:52 am

Scarlet

As has Haz, FMitch. So much more attractive!

9:52 am

I think she has had to go to friend again Scarlet

9:53 am

Okay, FMitch. That is so sad for her.

FMitch

She will be on when she can and I'll let her know we are thinking of her.

9:54 am

Scarlet

Thank you, FMitch.

9:54 am

FMitch

Grat grid today but boy the Y gets overused!

9:55 am

Scarlet

I've just started, but it is going well.

9:55 am

FMitch

34 times if I remember correctly (was on the phone on hold and got bored )

9:55 am

Scarlet

Counting the Y usage? LOL

9:56 am

FMitch

yes- I know :)

9:57 am

Urf, Haz, just watching the weather forecast, have you had lots of rain today?

9:59 am

That's the one I can't find yet, too, deb!

Thank you, Une! How are you today?

10:01 am

Not much rain so far. So far!

10:03 am

Scarlet

Good luck with that one, Haz.

10:03 am

Haz1558

I'll need it. It starts off simply enough and then gets complicated.

10:04 am

Scarlet

Sounds very similar to our political system!

10:05 am

FMitch

sounds like a lot of technology too, Chapter 1, oh this is easy and then wham!

10:05 am

Capng

can i get a clue for the 4th ey4/6 please??

10:05 am

Haz1558

It's to do with getting people vetted by the police. You have to prove who you are before you can ask for anybody else to be vetted. You may well have to give blood. I haven't got to that part....

10:06 am

FMitch

Thats the author Jane E*** Capng

10:06 am

Scarlet

A great clue was given before, Cap... flip the last two letters of the first 4/6

10:06 am

Capng

I have that one already. Lol.

10:07 am

Capng

I need the one after the word for the 2 things on our head we see out of.

10:07 am

Scarlet

Vetted here means being "checked out", Haz. Is it the same? LOL, Cap.

10:07 am

FMitch

Ignore me

10:07 am

Scarlet

Why, FM? How could I ignore you?

10:08 am

Capng

Nevermind

10:08 am

Capng

I gots it.

10:08 am

Scarlet

10:08 am

Oops...end of class. Lunch time for me. Bye all.

10:08 am

Capng

Oops...end of class. Lunch time for me. Bye all.

10:08 am

Scarlet

Later, Cap... Be well.

10:09 am

FMitch

Bye Capng

10:09 am

Haz1558

Yes, checked out. From April onwards everyone working with children or vulnerable adults has to be criminal record checked - even volunteers. I foresee a red tape nightmare.

10:09 am

Scarlet

But that seems to be a reasonable expectation, Haz... that those entrusted to care for others are not... pedophiles, for example.

10:10 am

debjed

any help for the rh5,16?

10:10 am

FMitch

*grin* Scarlet I was aiming that comment at Capng as I was cluing the wrong work.

That will cause no end of headaches Haz but one can understand the reasons behind it

10:10 am

Scarlet

RH + sometimes vowel + British, short thank you.

10:11 am

debjed

thank you Red:)

10:11 am

Scarlet

Oh, FM... now I understand!

10:12 am

Scarlet

HI, harp!

10:12 am

bfsog

hey all.

10:12 am

Haz1558

I know - but we take steps at RDA to make sure that volunteers have no opportunity to be alone with children etc. It just creates so much suspicion about everyone.

10:12 am

harpjane

what's our icon theme?

10:13 am

FMitch

Hi bf and harp

10:13 am

harpjane

what's RDA?

10:13 am

Haz1558

RDA - riding for the disabled, once a week for a couple of hours - people who have volunteered for 30 years now to be police checked. It seems like overkill.

10:13 am

Scarlet

We live in an insane time of the family of man, Haz... people are being profiled for even looking to be of Middle Eastern extraction, for example.

10:14 am

debjed

help with the se6,27?

10:14 am

Haz1558

I know - I just feel sorry that the innocent are viewed with suspicion because of the activities of the guilty.

10:14 am

Scarlet

And the wry take on racial profiling in our cities: DWB is one... driving while black.

10:16 am

FMitch

deb its a really strange word, it's the name of a type of japanese poem

10:16 am

bfsog

what im sick of is hearing all the horror stories about joe public being attacked/killed by mindless yobs.

10:16 am

Haz1558

se6 - first five letters, same structure as a much married King H, finish with a vowel

10:17 am

FMitch

inspired!

10:17 am

harpjane

we have a similar program here for riding and there are background checks, too. Same with Special Olympics which I am quite involved with. I agree that it's bad to view the innocent with suspicion, but I've also seen the other side--predators who appear to be innocent until their background is known!

10:17 am

Scarlet

Nice word, Haz. Thank you FM and Haz.

10:18 am

Haz1558

I knew it 'in some cases fingerprinting may be required for identification'

10:18 am

harpjane

what's a yob?

10:18 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scarlet.

10:18 am

FMitch

a mindless youth harp

10:18 am

Haz1558

A yob is a thug.

debjed

10:19 am

harpjane

oh, babble is so educational! Thanks

10:19 am

Scarlet

I was online late one evening, and Jacula had a bit of a take on yobs in her neighborhood, and their partying and noise... it was quite funny.

10:20 am

bfsog

a 23 year old man was driving, stopped at traffic lights and these 2 yobs chucked some chocolate in his car. so he gets out of the car and they attack him. he hits his head and dies. it makes me so angry!

10:20 am

Scarlet

Where was this, bfsog?

10:20 am

bfsog

England

10:21 am

Scarlet

WE have similar problems in the states, bf.

10:21 am

SamanthaJoy

They "chucked some chocolate in his car" and he saw that as an attack? I'd've written them thank you notes.

10:22 am

Scarlet

:-) Samantha... it would be nice to have someone give me a drive-by chocolate too, if that whole scenario were not so tragic... remember the "Wildings" of a few years ago?

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

No, the word "wildings" doesn't ring a bell

10:24 am

Scarlet

Marauding gangs of youth... carrying bats and other weapons... just rampaging, hurting and killing people in the inner cities... smashing store windows, pounding on car windshields, etc. It was senseless adn unpredictable.

10:25 am

Scarlet

*and*

10:25 am

10:35 am

Haz1558

tu7 - begin with tu5/16 - tu plus a 12 month period, minus a vowel. tu6 adds a vowel, tu7 is its plural

10:36 am

Haz1558

The second tu6/27 is the plural of the tu5/16 at the beginning of the whole sorry sequence.

10:37 am

Haz1558

nu7/36 - a past tense which, if it began with m, would refer to something having changed. Beginning with n it looks like a squirrel food, having eaten food, and a past tense finish.

10:40 am

periwinkle

you are indeed lovely, Haz. As I am sure George has told you many times

10:40 am

Scarlet

Oh, that's all right, FMitch.. it is ebbing and I am push-brooming as much water as I can, out the door... and have bundled the soggy cardboard for the trash men... more to follow later. It's nature's way of saying: "Clean out the extraneous and chuck it!"

10:40 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, but then George is a smooth talker.

10:41 am

Scarlet

Lovely. NO debate, Haz. Period.

thanks haz - hopefully I'll get all these form your clues, but it rather depends on my computer not going crazy again liek it did just now :s

10:41 am

FMitch

Tipsy is occasionally very useful. Since no one seems to need clues, I'm going to take the trash out and take a nap, since that level of activity will certainly wear me right out.

1:21 pm

carleekat

any storms headed your way stid?....

1:21 pm

stidmama

1:21 pm

stidmama

1:22 pm

carleekat

ugh.... time for calgon to take u away?

stidmama

ca 6: past tense feline

1:24 pm

Lauren

1:24 pm

shorty

I was just reading the chat at the flip and Andree went to visit Mrp, How sweet is that!!!!!!

1:24 pm

1:25 pm

bichon

1:25 pm

bichon

1:25 pm

lynxxx

Hi Shorty

1:25 pm

1:26 pm

carleekat

i am looking up spas in the area..my daughter SO wants to spend a day at the spa...but they all geared to girlfriends..or wedding parties..or couples..no mother daughter packages :(

1:26 pm

shorty

Yes I would also + hello lynxxx

1:26 pm

stidmama

maybe you should call one that looks nice and ASK if they have something they just dont' advertise?

1:26 pm

woceht

thanks for the clue inge. just flipped back to the log.

1:26 pm

carleekat

brb

1:26 pm

woceht

had to run off and switch some solutions

1:27 pm

stidmama

seems a mother-daughter package would be a good thing to have available... "hook 'em while they're young" sort of thing

1:27 pm

stidmama

helo woceht

1:27 pm

woceht

hi stidmama

1:27 pm

Lauren

Anyone need a clue before I go?

1:27 pm

stidmama

yes please lauren, the last TH 6? I ahve all the other TH words

1:29 pm

shorty

and there son luke needed something from mrp for school that she was helping him with (I think) and Andree took it to lickety at there house how awesome is that

1:29 pm

woceht

it's the ty5/14 with the last two letters switched and the h added in.

1:29 pm

Lauren

stid - 'th* will be done', 2 cons in order (right next to each other in the alphabet and the grid!), and then the 3rd vowel. Weird word.

1:29 pm

stidmama

thanks lauren!

1:30 pm

stidmama

and that's firewords for me!

1:30 pm

woceht

awesome

1:30 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Stid !

1:30 pm

stidmama

that is REALLY awesome. People need things like that a lot.

1:30 pm

woceht

just curious. how long does it typically take for firewords?

1:30 pm

stidmama

okay, my snack is ready... will hang out to help clue while I stuff my face.

1:31 pm

woceht

i think i've only finished just once. and i had to stick to it for a REALLY LONG TIME

1:31 pm

Lauren

congrats stid!

1:31 pm

stidmama

For me, woceht, it depends a whole lot on the grid and my surroundings... A grid this size if I use the list generally takes less than two hours... LOL

1:31 pm

shorty

If there were more people like that the world would be a great place

1:31 pm

ExWren

It just depends woceht, some of the clever cloggs whizz through the grid in no time at all, me, it takes all day!

1:32 pm

lynxxx

There is no typical woceht, it really depends how much 'help' you use and the size of the grid - some grids take a half hour, some seem like all day

1:32 pm

lynxxx

Hi ExWren!

1:33 pm

woceht

sigh. half an hour? is that including all the strange words? i have to confess usually by halfway through i'm well and truly stuck

1:33 pm

ExWren

Hi lyn, you are up early in the morning

1:34 pm

woceht

and then some grids are easier to monkey than others

1:34 pm

carleekat

i had a customer....just sold 240.00 worth of wine :)

1:35 pm

carleekat

this one was a fun grid I thought

1:35 pm

woceht

wow. was that one expensive bottle, or a few?

1:35 pm

carleekat

took about 45 mins... with the list...

1:35 pm

carleekat

( 2 batches of wine...am at work..is a do ityourself winery )

1:36 pm

carleekat

1 batch makes 30 750mL bottles...or just about that

1:36 pm

woceht

cool. what kind of wine is it?

1:37 pm

carleekat

we have all types... name it...we likely have it

1:37 pm

stidmama

wren, that is a darling ?grandchild? in your icon

1:37 pm

woceht

mm. sounds interesting. not that i know that much about wines, being allergic to alcohol.

1:38 pm

stidmama

are you also vinegar allergic, woceht

1:38 pm

carleekat

barolo, vedicchio, valpolicella, riesling, gerwurstraminer, chianti, chardonnay, merlot, shiraz, cab sauv...and so on...and so on

1:38 pm

woceht

nope. vinegar seems ok

1:38 pm

KnightTime

1:38 pm

musicmom

Good afternoon all. 6 words left. I would love to finish before I go back to work. They are all tu words. I have the first 3. Any suggestions?

1:39 pm

carleekat

1:39 pm

musicmom

woceht- that sounds terrible.

1:40 pm

KnightTime

1:40 pm

lynxxx

1:42 pm

KnightTime

1:43 pm

musicmom

That sounds good. I love chianti. I'll have to look for it.
