8:21 am

9:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

25 measly words? On a Snow day?

9:31 am

BzznBea

What the...?

9:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

ah the 744. How well I remember.

9:40 am

BzznBea

10 minutes.

Namaste

9:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

To clarify yesterday- we have a three bedroom house. Top flor was rented to Afghan immigrants through charity and programs. There are two presently unused bedrooms. One for guests or the cat is snoring too much. Our house is at a quite inflated price compared to when we bought in 35 years ago. One daughter does stints at home, the other has children under 4 and it's a whole ordeal. One room is also for guests or storing and sorting clothes. (My husband never throws anything away.) My biggest attachment are to my many books and to my studio office in the back. This is a very inflated city that started out working class. People got priced out of Cambridge so they drove the prices up here. Many unhoused people. The residents seem to resent their presence and feel the homeless should be swept out of site.

9:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have 5 words left but I don't list anymore, so it's monkey time.

9:48 am

hokie carla

well this was going awful well and then I noticed there are 25 total words

9:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I forget who but someone asked if we were two people living in a 5 BR house.

9:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

We would downsize to one floor but I would hate to give up my bedroom and other features--I'd rather move but no place I would like (blue state, access to public transportation etc) is affordable.

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

PA is blue and Phila much more affordable with cultural amenities. ask all the new yorkers moving here.

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

and paying cash.

10:27 am

lideola

Fellow PA Person here. It's more purple than Blue. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and a few other areas are strong blue. The rest is definitely NOT.

10:42 am

Mary

Thank you Lickety for the short Babble today. I'm hosting a Super Bowl party and need a lot of time.

10:42 am

MollyL

Kaplan you said you had three cats and they all have bedrooms. Counting you and your husband, I figured that meant five bedrooms.

11:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

They share with us. I didn't say they have their own rooms. They have their preferred human, but with two of them not living here, they stake out their territory. One lives in my office space.

11:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

We have a king sized bed so two of them sometimes take a corner. #3 had her safe space under my office table. Lately she's been coming in to check on where I am upstairs. She was the one my daughter brought from Philly.

11:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

I like Philly. I also like Providence.

11:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

Both my kids went to school in Philly. I like that there were tons of book stores, and the Barnes Collection moved into the city. And there is a great Israeli restaurant where the waiters are really well choreographed. I can't remember the name.

11:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

And all the mosaics, including the house of the mosaic mad. And 9th St. market. I could do OK in Philly.

11:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

Mosaic man.

11:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't like where I live anymore. It's too dense, and has a feeling of being redlined although it isn't actually.

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

'I have 5 words left and that's how it's gonna be

11:42 am

lideola

The restaurant was probably Zahav.

11:43 am

lideola

The Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia is an excellent area. Vibrant shopping district, very diverse.

11:48 am

MollyL

Sorry. I guess it is just the interpretation of the written word. I have three cats, they all have bedrooms (which is what you posted) led me to believe each cat had its own room.

12:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

friend's daughter was trying to buy in Mt. Airy but gave up after encountering those cash in hand New Yorkers, closed out of every transaction. Pity.

12:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

Same thing happening in Poconos and Lehigh Valley, where I want to go.

I'm a Realtor in SE PA (Montgomery, Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester mostly). It's not just NY using cash, it's local buyers too. The only thing that beats cash is a mortgage contingent offer well over asking with a large escrow deposit and large downpayment. Many sellers will take a full price cash offer over a mortgage contingent/inspection contingent offer $10k over asking.

Good afternoon, Babble buds. :)

4:05 pm

Whenever I see a grid this small, I am instantly reminded of our largest grid to date--the infamous 744. For those who wosh to see it again I have it set up as a jigsaw puzzle on jigidi.com. Just type in my babble name and you will see my puzzles.

4:06 pm

crosshair

4:10 pm

mich_pdx

cool!

4:12 pm

mich_pdx

crosshair, I put crosshair in the search and only saw a starwars puzzle

4:13 pm

mich_pdx

nm, I see there's a search by username instead of keyword. :)

4:21 pm

crosshair

Good glad you found it. I think I have a dozen puzzles ir so set up there.

4:25 pm

crosshair

The one with the deer and the turkeys my wife took several years ago. It was minus 30 that day and the deer were digging up gound apples from under the snow. The turkeys would let the deer dig it all up, them follow behind them taking apples as they could.

4:25 pm

MollyL

The 744 word grid is in the archives. April 21, 2012 if anyone wants to try it. Everything that has ever been posted here is in the archives. It makes for some interesting reading, all things considered.

4:31 pm

crosshair

As I recall, I made most of the puzzles between 150 and 250 pieces, so not to worry, they are fun, but they won't consume your life. :)

4:37 pm

crosshair

Cues for the lower E, please.

Love my tablet, but it can be a pain to type on sometimes.

4:41 pm

Shirlockc
