4:52 am

mattygroves

That happens to me sometimes. It's 10.52 am here...and I'm still in bed drinking coffee and I've just eaten a crumpet. Very lazy Saturday morning

dianedecoder

Sounds perfect to me!

4:56 am

dianedecoder

I've just had a cup of tea and am going to try this sleep thing again. I just did 163 words and it's a fun grid so far.

4:57 am

mattygroves

I shall finish my coffee whilst trying to get halfway - we'll see whether halfway or bladder comes first. Once bladder calls I shall shower ;)

9:45 am

BzznBea

I'm going to make a casserole with the leftover dressing, potatoes and cranberries

9:45 am

MollyL

Google knows all...According to military customs, a lower ranking soldier walks on the left side of a senior officer. This courtesy developed when swords were still used on the battle field. The lower ranked soldier on the "left" protected the senior officers left side. Therefore, the term leftenant developed.

9:46 am

hokie carla

right now we only have leftover dressing left.

9:46 am

mattygroves

I'm.....not convinced ;)

9:47 am

BzznBea

I saw a recipe for dumplings made from the dressing.

9:47 am

MollyL

Matty, that is referred to as THE sandwich in my family around this time of year. As in, Have you had THE sandwich yet?

9:47 am

BzznBea

Also, muffings.

9:47 am

BzznBea

muffins form dressing.

9:47 am

mattygroves

The bread fresh out of the oven really made it

9:47 am

hokie carla

I made mine in mini loaf and muffin pans this year

9:48 am

BzznBea

Throw them in the frezer.

9:48 am

MollyL

Stuffins are great. I make them in mini muffin pans for an appetizer.

9:49 am

hokie carla

No, forget about the tr7. Look at tr 6 instead.

Or, say that the internet nuisance is untruthful as well.

realtor is too a word.

9:45 pm

Gillie

Apparently, it's trademarked, which would make it a proper noun, I think

9:48 pm

smithchick

Huh. Who knew?

9:49 pm

Gillie

I don't think it's used in Britain - they have "estate agents" instead, I believe

9:53 pm

I learn something new every day.

hi all. back to try to get half way done. ugh. with NBT and NBS i cant even ask for clues.

10:10 pm

grannyrose

mkg. fu5 fu + not walk. then for fu6 add a vowel

10:11 pm

grannyrose

fr4. fr + two vowels not the same

10:12 pm

grannyrose

fr5. fr + most of what you give to a landlord + vowel

10:27 pm

mkg

you give a landlord rent? money? hmmmm. not seeing it

mkg

monkeys not working for this one.

Trademarked, apparently

does one have to be a member to be just a plain realtor?

11:01 pm

Gillie

Technically, I guess so

11:03 pm

libarebel

weird...

11:04 pm

In England, I think they call them "estate agents" or "real estate agents"
