8:49 am

wvteach

MLFAN17

ty dose

9:03 am

penquis

i am done...

9:03 am

penquis

not a bad grid for me....once i listed, of course... ;o)

9:04 am

Flask1

I started listing at 70......quite a nice grid today!

9:11 am

penquis

i listed at 30, i think...

9:11 am

penquis

i started the grid last night....was up way too late!

9:13 am

Flask1

There's nowt wrong with listing Penquis....sometimes my brain just doesn't spot even some of the simplest words!
I've learnt now not to stress about finishing.....as long as I try....I do enjoy it!

9:14 am

penquis

oh i don't mind listing....i almost always list at some point....i do so when the grid stops being fun for me...

9:17 am

Flask1

If I don't finish....then so be it....can't handle the stress of it all....so now I just stop!

9:23 am

rururocks

Stress?

9:28 am

Flask1

Yes Ruru, Stress......I have a very competative nature, so I felt for years I HAD to finish the grid, or else I was a failure......

9:29 am

Shirlockc

i was doing that too! had to finish, now i'm more relaxed about it

9:30 am

Flask1

but now I realise there's no need to finish.....its great to get the fireworks.....but if I don't .... what the hell!!

9:31 am

Buggie

Oh, I have my criteria. I have to get at least half of each letter before I'm allowed to list. Smaller grids I try to finish, bigger grids (around 200 words for me), getting past the half way criteria is enough

9:31 am

Shirlockc

i tried to reach 75% before i list

9:33 am

Buggie

yeah, I'm usually around 75% total by the time I've gone as far as I can on each letter. But getting half way on letters with only 1 word can leave me stuck sometimes

9:34 am

Flask1

When I played a few years ago there was, in my opinion, too much emphasis put on getting Fireworks......hence the reason I stopped for awhile......but am enjoying it again for now.....

9:35 am

penquis

mine is simple: i am not enjoying it anymore.....then i list...

9:35 am

Flask1

Ithink thats mine too Penquis.....

9:36 am

penquis

how far i get usually depends on the size of the grid...

9:37 am

Shirlockc

yeah, some of those big ones take forever

9:37 am

Flask1

oh they can be killers....

9:38 am

fit1

anyone have a clue for the di5/14

9:38 am

Flask1

I will start a biggie knowing full well I won't finish!

9:38 am

penquis

first half of what the boss makes his secretary "take"....

9:38 am

Shirlockc

speak into a machine but drop the last two letters

9:39 am

penquis

that's a clue for the di 5...

9:39 am

penquis

bosses don't really do that anymore, i don't think....the secretary's used to use shorthand to take *****tion...

9:40 am

fit1

Thanks. I had that one. but I didn't realize it. LOL

9:40 am

doseffing

... di 4/6 + a vowel

9:41 am

doseffing

.... I think it's a greek plural

9:46 am

penquis

i am off.....bye all...

9:53 am

Flask1

bye Pen.....

9:57 am

10:36 am

rubyfoo

Have the dogs become friends?

10:37 am

10:37 am

bichon

my dog doesn't have any friends

10:37 am

rururocks

my dog gets along with all dogs.. he's super playful and not alpha

rururocks

ah.. bonded only to you bichon

10:38 am

rururocks

my dog would leave with anyone who'd pet it

rubyfoo

Since l always have 2 chows, one always becomes alpha, but not in an obnoxious away

10:39 am

bichon

He's good with Mr. Bich and my g'daughter

10:42 am

rubyfoo

Rufie became much more protective after my husband died but he still accepts some new people if l tell him it's OK

10:43 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

10:43 am

rururocks

hey judi

10:44 am

bichon

The big problem is that he has to sleep with us. When he goes to daughter's house, he has to sleep with them

10:44 am

rubyfoo

Mostly, they're just very laid-back unless a threat is perceived

10:44 am

rubyfoo

When women put mud on their cheeks, it is called a fa6. Take the last letter off for fa5. Then add plural in the middle for fa6

12:04 pm

wvteach

sorry just saw it was "add a cons"

12:04 pm

wvteach
