sorry to ask once more, but is anyone having an issue where the tiles with a T do not show anymore, just a blank space. Even after a reboot, logout and login, still no T tiles ??? really weird. (Win 7)

I learned all the armed forces' songs in grade school (at least the armed forces that were in existence when I was in grade school a long time ago)

5:28 pm

MollyL

We had this conversation earlier and someone else said the same thing. Did you learn the Coast Guard song? The Coast Guard was surely in existence when you were in grade school but I bet they overlooked that one.

5:29 pm

java2

You're right - and considering school was in the area of the Coast Guard facilities, that's weird and wrong.

5:32 pm

mab

Semper paratus - although I had never heard it before just youtubing it now.

5:33 pm

mab

it's a marching song. It has to tough marching within the confines of a seafaring vessel.

5:34 pm

java2

They can't have spent all their time on ships! They have land-based facilities on Long Island and Rhode Island.

5:34 pm

mab

Unless one just marched in place, which is a perfectly reasonable alternative to regular marching forth.

5:35 pm

java2

Yeah, but that would be strange

5:36 pm

mab

Maybe primarily sung while boarding and disembarking.

5:38 pm

java2

That could work - get all pumped up by singing and marching

5:39 pm

java2

Maybe it'll get played during the march in D.C. this fall.

5:39 pm

Even the merchant marines have a song: 'Heave Ho, My Lads, Heave Ho'

clue for tr 5/12?

5:47 pm

squeezing grid for that tr - no luck so far.

The Coast Guard doesn't spend their time marching. They are search and rescue men.

Then why have a marching song at all?

here goes to show if you just keep typing random letter you will finally get it.

5:48 pm

ty java - just got it in before the clue. **FIREWORKS**

5:50 pm

thank you java. congratulations turt.

5:50 pm

MollyL

Most of the military songs sound like marching songs.

5:50 pm

java2

yw and congrats

5:52 pm

java2

military songs would be silly if they sounded like love songs. or could "fly me to the moon" be the air force song?

5:53 pm

mab

'So here's the Coast Guard marching song/ We sing on land on or sea, etc.

5:54 pm

mab

Maybe the emphasis is on 'sing.'

How international. I would love to live in BC.

6:50 pm

tell it to the judge....

6:51 pm

rururocks

I can’t wait

6:52 pm

mab

There's 'hefty' and then there's 'chubby.' Rarely the twain meet.

6:55 pm

MollyL

Hefty sounds like "fat but okay". Chubby sounds like "fat but not okay".

6:57 pm

cybernan

wikimedia listed the 26 Canadian cities that offer the best weather....in BC Pentiction, Kelowna and Vernon (all in the Okanagan VAlley) and Kamloops were the only ones to make the list.

7:01 pm

cybernan

help for the first 3 ci's please?

7:04 pm

mab

Sounds lovely.

7:05 pm

mab

South central BC, not the ci words, none of which I have.

7:07 pm

hurshy

funny, i don't take hefty and chubby that way. i think of chubby as a little bit fat, possibly in a cute way, esp if short. whereas hefty to me just sounds like you're trying to say someone is fat without using the word fat.

7:08 pm

cybernan

we like it here --- there are lots of lovely spots in BC -- I think one has to consider the activities available and if they are a good fit. Skiing, Golf and Boating are the biggies here --- also have pretty good theatre groups and an symphony, but not like Vancouver or Seattle.

7:10 pm

MollyL

And curling Ru. I expect you to become a huge curling fan when you become Canadian.
: P

7:10 pm

mab

I think the Hefty brand of petrochemical bags, where 'hefty' is to connote strength and durability.

7:11 pm

MollyL

Yes, and chubby is fat.

7:12 pm

does anyone have clues for those ci"s -- they are my last ones

7:20 pm

MollyL

No, it is not cirrus

7:25 pm

MollyL

And there is no ci4 for the clouds singular. That is a ci5

7:28 pm

Gillie

Actually, for clouds, cirrus is plural. ci5 is the plural of other usages of the same word.

7:30 pm

We all stand corrected.

The flower beds at our new house have been neglected for the last 8 years, so I have my work cut out for me. We had 4 stumps that had been left ground out yesterday and there are some roses that have gone wild that need to be dug out. Iris has choked out another area and gout weed has taken over yet another.

11:58 pm

There seems to be lots of tulips though, so looking forward to those

i will look forward to your reports on how the garden is responding. big job having the stumps ground out.
