Glad to hear the flu is starting to die out!
3:27 am
sprite

good to hear, zooz. Your parents are lucky to have such good and caring kids. Makes their time as elderly people a lot better.
3:27 am
zoozzoom

I have only just started so only have 20 words :-)
3:28 am

3:38 am
zoozzoom

I did as in I completed not that I made the puzzle lol
3:39 am
sprite

lolllll oh I like it
3:39 am
zoozzoom

I do like the joke type puzzles but they never seem to do them in a larger size.
3:40 am
sprite

I only ever do the 400+ puzzles so I hardly ever see the small ones
3:41 am
zoozzoom

I do not mind the larger ones if I am in the mood for them. so I have a few in my in progress section. most of the time I do the smaller ones.
3:42 am
mattygroves

Can anyone give me a nudge on any 7...it's bugging me and I'd like to have at least one before I shower and start my day...
3:42 am
sprite

I am lucky to have a huge screen with high resolution. that makes it easier to do big ones

3:57 am
zoozzoom

ooh not very nice. Hope you are taking some kind of painkiller for it.
3:58 am
zoozzoom

Well I suppose it would be best if you didn't as it would not be safe to do so.

Hi Crossy, Liz, Matty

$350. for the season is a very good price, Scrabby:)
5:55 am
Lizlin

Hi crossy - a new wolf :)
5:56 am
Scrabbler

Either $350 for the season or $15 per plow. I gamble and pay per season.
5:56 am
mattygroves

Hiya all - just a flying visit (I have 47 words left) before running errands
5:56 am
Lizlin

Can't believe that you have snow already, scrabbs - my sympathy.
5:56 am
Lizlin

Glad to see you're feeling better Matty
5:57 am
mattygroves

It's moved onto a cough. That'll last days (mind you, I don't help myself in that regard)
5:57 am
crosshair

was temporary, Liz. I lost my old one for a bit. it has already been changed and should be back to normal one today or tomorrow.
5:57 am
Lizlin

It'll be good to see it again - I remember you saying that it would be a permanent icon.
5:57 am
Scrabbler

We did have some brief snow and more is coming but will melt, then real winter will slam us for 3 months, because I live in snow country, across the valley from a ski center.
5:58 am
crosshair

lol, Liz. We have already plowed once, and I am personally ready to pounce on winter. My snowshoes are ready and waiting :)
5:58 am
mattygroves

Right, I'm going to get my shoes on and get me out to Twickenham. See ya all laters :)
5:58 am
Lizlin

I don't miss snow - except for seeing it newly fallen. In London it always turned to slush and ice pretty quickly and was a nightmare driving in it at times.
5:59 am
Lizlin

I'll stick with our current temps - mid 20s :) Suits me just fine.
5:59 am
Lizlin

Have a good day, Matty
5:59 am
Scrabbler

af6 is weird = af + a preposition + a modifier (I am ** tired right now) + an indefinite articile
5:59 am

I believe they have snow in the Vancouver area today, none here yet.
6:00 am
crosshair

Had a hard frost yesterday, is pouring rain today, so it is up and down, but we usually have the slopes open for Christmas break
6:00 am
Lizlin

Thanks, Scrabbs
6:00 am
mattygroves

Thanks for the AF6 - right...poof!
6:00 am
Lizlin

Snow in Vancouver is pretty unusual, isn't it?
6:01 am
Scrabbler

af6 definition = foot and mouth disease
6:01 am

No, they get some every year.
6:02 am

And, they do have a couple of mountains :)

On Grouse Mountain?
6:03 am

Of course, it doesn't last long.
6:04 am
sukee

But, I spent a winter there and it was mostly rainy and damp.
6:05 am
Lizlin

Same when i was there in the winter - we went out of town to ski. My dad worked there for a couple of years.
6:06 am

Well, he's being cautious. That's a good thing. Best to get it checked pronto.
8:33 am

He's had a bit of the flu, but he sounded OK on the phone yesterday. And there was a "urine issue"...let's leave it at that.

look by the F - what preposition (two letter) begins with a letter next to the F
9:06 am
car.eeyore

to, but then I can't use the O in the ending.
9:07 am
wvteach

you don't use the O again
9:07 am

after the preposition use only the first letter of the modifier and then use the one letter indefinite article.

Will Hoge's a hometown boy. Born and raised in the Nashville area. Saw him at the Ryman once. When he did an "Ain't No Sunshine" cover, he unplugged, walked to the front of the stage, and just belted it out with the acoustic. One of my favorite Ryman moments ever.

He actually got into a horrible, near death accident in 2008. His comeback is basically a miracle. They weren't sure he'd ever walk or play again, much less perform.

we have a lot of hot national bands right now and the venues are very up close and personal. also ticket prices are power
10:45 am

Right. Ticket prices could get Nashville. We've had a lack of medium-sized venues until recently. That's hampers getting some acts.It also lends to more intimate concerts with bigger names.

It's a collection. I thought maybe I'd told you about them before. Started by Trent Dabbs and originally sponsored by Paste before Trent's wife moved to American Songwriter. 10 artists from Tennessee (Nashville) would tour and be each others' band. Pretty cool stuff. The guy from Escondido was one of them, Tyler James.

you're right molly, there are times when they can be useful, but they have become like umbilicul for many...constantly checking them, fiddling with them. and it makes for a lot of rudeness in some public situations.

yes aussie, I agree. When my late mom was in a nursing home i was so impressed with the caregivers and how much they really cared and got to know the patients. The night my mom died, her primary nurse cried as much as i did.

I have a confession to make. The word in the grid ho4/5 which means "frost" is a perfectly good word, but it seems to me to sound a lot like a word that is not so good to use in polite company.

Emily Dickenson used ho4/5 in a poem about the hemlock tree.
