good morning all

1:31 am

ks killed. They were brutal.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Hi all

1:38 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend, how are you and your beloved today?

1:39 am

Lizlin

We're fine thanks - did you have a lovely time with Caya?

1:40 am

sprite

we did! It was wonderful to see her again and hug her. Worth driving 7 hours for :)

1:40 am

Lizlin

I'm glad about that - it is a long drive.

1:40 am

Lizlin

But I bet she really appreciated her time with you.

1:42 am

sprite

yeah it was. But so worth it. Tim decided to join us and that was a big surprise for Caya. She stocked up on hugs, grin, from all of us, and cuddles from Terra. We went out for dinner and that was great too. Lovely food and we had such fun.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Sounds really great.

1:43 am

Lizlin

Not liking this grid - and definitely not the ks.

1:43 am

sprite

it was. And not one bad moment all day, no flare-ups with Tim at all. Very harmonious.

1:44 am

Lizlin

Awesome - it is too soon to say that Tim's growing up?

1:44 am

sprite

the ks were really brutal. Not one over 5 and still tough, ugh.

1:48 am

sprite

no, I think it is not too soon to say it. He is growing up. Much easier to be with, and when something comes up, we can discuss it normally. I am so grateful we stuck with it and didn't give up on him/us together.

1:48 am

Lizlin

That's good to hear.

1:49 am

Lizlin

53 words and nothing over a 5 :(

1:50 am

sprite

I hear ya! I have 62 and managed to find 4 6s. And no 7s at all yet.

No but I did try that.

1:52 am

sprite

extra clue, Liz: it is not a re word

1:53 am

Lizlin

Thanks

1:54 am

Lizlin

Got to go - busy week and also need something to eat after the gym.

1:54 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Sprite and thanks for the clues, both of you.

1:55 am

sprite

have a lovely evening, Liz, and a peaceful night. *hugs* to you both

1:57 am

Lizlin

Strange that it took so long to find my old profession - something ironic about that! Really going now.

1:58 am

sprite

*giggles* a repressed memory!

1:58 am

8:51 am

rubyfoo

I've been binge-wattching The Good Wife on Neflix; it's totally addictive -- and long!

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

what in the world are you cluing?

8:52 am

hurshy

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Hm, what would Hester's letter A do on a tombstone?

8:52 am

Aloyisius

li 6.27 : li + don't pop your chewing **m or you must **ave the room

8:52 am

hurshy

i did that rather clumsily

8:52 am

rubyfoo

haha, hurshy

8:53 am

hurshy

it's about the color of her A, old fashioned word that we don't use anymore

8:53 am

Scrabbler

TY, Aloy. My monkey would NEVER have found that word.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

And I never would have guessed that word, hurshy.

8:53 am

hurshy

it just, was memorable to me from high school.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

WHAT is about the color of her A?

8:53 am

Aloyisius

8:54 am

hurshy

the word that you fill in the asterisks in my clue with

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

never mind. chances are i have it already.

8:54 am

hurshy

it's the li6 so if you have that then yes

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it funny what sticks in our brains. I am visual-spatial, so I retain images/diagrams.

8:55 am

hurshy

did everyone get the mean neighbor lady from Wizard of Oz (movie)?

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I did now.

8:56 am

rubyfoo

The only thing I remember from high school is "keep george's comb out of fat peter's scalp"

8:56 am

Scrabbler

What?

8:56 am

hurshy

8:56 am

rubyfoo

no, tht's wrong "keep peter's comb out of fat george's scalp"

8:56 am

hurshy

8:57 am

hurshy

now that makes sense

8:57 am

Aloyisius

lol ruby

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i rarely get those clues. i think it's funny what people think are obvious.

8:57 am

rubyfoo

8:58 am

MLFAN17

I wonder how many of us missed ot 5/12 as the first word they added?

8:58 am

hurshy

it's not that i thought that my clue was obvious, TO, it's just it was exciting to me to connect it with that memory. got carried away.

8:58 am

rubyfoo

I was almost perfect in algebra but now can barely add and subtract

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

funny is not the right word. interesting is more like it

10:03 am

rururocks

that's Asian nowadays ruby

10:03 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, i used to get great omelettes in Paris at a Vietnamese restaurant on the Left Bank LOL

10:05 am

rubyfoo

When I spent time in Paris, I learned to love Vietnamese food. Chinese and, later, sushi, were excellent, too.

10:05 am

rubyfoo

<-- nver going back to Paris, much too scary now

10:06 am

Uneaixoise

10:09 am

rubyfoo
