I knew it would take me eo 4/4 to finish grid so I quit after finding 195 words.Now here is a story of clues. One time I had a little tiny accident with an ir 4/4ing board.The re6/21 of my accident was a broken index finger. My finger got jammed while trying to fold the board.Boy did that st5/14!When it first happened, it fe 4/7 like I had lo 4/4 a finger for su 4/5 and that it was a go5/14. I sh 4/5 my eyes in fear of what I may see when I looked down.But no4/4 of that happened When I looked down, I was glad to see finger was not go4/6. There was not even a sl 4/4 in my skin and no blood.I was not alo4/4 when it happened.My husband was a he 4/5 and raced me to the ER.Husband was so st 6/18ed about getting me to the ER quickly that he used his horn as a si 5/10 and he beeped it whenever someone was in front of him.I gave him a st5/10 look since I believed that we were going to get into a car accident.Fortunately,I wasn't at the hospital for too lo 4/6. The doctor se 4/4 me home with my finger re 4/4ing in a splint.My finger was so4/4 after that,but it finally healed and got st 6/24 again. I do hope you have found more words to add to your li 4/4, at least the easy on4/4.I am going to get off my tu4/6ie now go watch "The Untouchables", a movie about Eliot Ne 4/4. I will retu4/5 to this websi 4/4 later on toni4/4 before I reti4/4 for the re4/4 of the evening. By the way,no4/4 of my story was tr4/5. It was all made up.

too much hassle
1:51 pm
MollyL

Not as much hassle as doing your own list. And nothing is out of order
1:51 pm

I don't think highlighting your word list, copying and bulk adding in Lickety is much trouble at all.
1:52 pm

i'm old-fashioned
1:53 pm

I tried pasting to lickety and it didn't work for me

hi golfnut.... :-)) Did you get that terrible storm yesterday afternoon ??
2:13 pm

hi Diane, yes, but think it was worse elsewhere. We missed the tornado. and the hail,was small
2:14 pm
Altagolfnut5

lots of rain though!
2:14 pm
dianedecoder

Red Deer really got it!.... we just had the "fringe" winds, some thunder and then heavy rain for a short while before it settled into a nicer rain.
2:14 pm
Bugsaw

there was a tornado in Alberta?
2:15 pm
dianedecoder

several smaller ones, Bugsaw...mostly in farm areas... a few outbuildings etc. were damaged
2:15 pm
Altagolfnut5

actually, Alberta had 5 tornados yesterday!
2:16 pm
dianedecoder

A question, golfnut... are you male or female ? because a golfnut could be either !
2:16 pm
Bugsaw

Ever since I saw Wizard of Oz as a little kid, I have been frightened of tornados but never of Alberta
2:16 pm
Altagolfnut5

female:)
2:16 pm
dianedecoder

I know where you work, but that could also be either/or :-)
2:16 pm
Bugsaw

golfnut has a pink shirt on diane so she is female
2:17 pm
dianedecoder

We had a very bad tornado 30 years ago, this July 29....
2:17 pm
Altagolfnut5

lol Bug, Alberta averages 19 tornados a year! A fact I actually had to look up because I didn't believe it either! But it usually hits all those opens fields we have
2:18 pm
Altagolfnut5

was that the one in Edmonton? that was 30 years ago???
2:18 pm
Bugsaw

I think I remember that one diane. It hit a trailer court where a neighbour's sister lived. He was frantic for hours not knowing if she was safe.
2:18 pm
dianedecoder

and the "belt" where golfnut lives now, and was my hometown used to get some awesome storms, and we saw many funnel clouds, but none of the larger ones ever touched down.
2:19 pm
dianedecoder

yes, in Edmonton.... many deaths. ... most of the deaths in the trailer court :-(
2:20 pm

I put tomorrows socks well back from edges so those don't disappear. I made a cake with fluffy frosting that the boys can eat. You can either take it to your house or have them come by and have dessert. The cake is not a safe one for you, unfortunately.

Sad us. No room at most inns for puppy guys as heavy as ours. 20 pounds seems to be a favorite size for most lodgings. Ours is worth 4 of those.

It is legal for non-tribal members to purchase fireworks on tribal lands... illegal to set them off anywhere else without a special permit. Of course that doesn't stop most people.

8:22 pm
Scrabbler

Now I smell the burned chemicals
8:27 pm

8:51 pm

a few years in d.c. we observed the fireworks from the newsweek offices. lots of comforts and none of the noise.
8:52 pm
MollyL

I would love to watch them from a nice, luxury boat on the river.
8:52 pm
mab

or some other news organization william worked for
8:53 pm

I imagine it was extra crowded on The Mall, as so many suburban shows were canceled.
9:08 pm
dcseain

i stayed at home
9:08 pm

i've not seen the mall ones much since i moved off of capitol hill.

9:11 pm

get drunk and set off fireworks all night or run barefoot in the street, cos?
9:11 pm

9:18 pm

9:19 pm

9:19 pm
MollyL

Good for Grandma. I want to be just like her when I'm that age.
9:19 pm

9:20 pm
viajes

no, it was Molly calling me old and boring
9:21 pm
MollyL

She's right Cos. I got a taste of retirement communities and elders homes before my parents passed. A lot of them are just sitting around waiting to die.
9:23 pm
cosdem

now if it was on a beach in miami......
9:26 pm
MollyL

I wonder what it would be like to set up a retirement community only for those who still had some gusto for life. Probably fun.
9:29 pm

my parents were in a lively community when they were both alive. They were involved in many new hobbies that they developed after moving in there. We loved to visit and enjoyed being a part of their activities there

my father lives in a gated community on a florida golf course. everyone drives golf carts and everything they need is in the 'community.' it's good for him, but i dislike that there is no diversity.

At the rate Social Security is going, we are all going to be living in huts when we are elders.
