I sent our daughter (the candy-holic) off to the library to work for me tonight, we're normally open on Thurs. night, coincided with the town halloween hours - she dressed up, and I notice she didn't bring any candy back home - afraid to ask, lol

12:46 am

rbud

I have her hand it out there as kids don't usually bother to come down our dead-end street.

12:46 am

rururocks

5:49 am

Haz1558

I had a start at the grid earlier on but concluded that a walk might blow the cobwebs away. No - still a twisty grid.

5:50 am

joso

the wee ones are frequently gnarly

5:51 am

Haz1558

I think of these as tweezer grids. You pick out words one at a time.

5:53 am

joso

good analogy, no or few plurals, gerunds, past tenses, one word does not lead to 2 or 3 others.

5:54 am

Haz1558

I'll look forward to finding it!

6:14 am

ladycece920

6:38 am

crosshair

gusts of 110kph right where i am

mael

crap, sorry

6:48 am

mael

obscure proper noun of the day: name that river in northern Italy :)

6:48 am

mael

and that lake in northern Italy

6:49 am

Haz1558

Garda!

6:49 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for the gr7, please?

6:49 am

mael

got the lake! that's where I grew up :)

6:49 am

Haz1558

Garda was where I spent my summer holidays this year (and a few previously).

6:49 am

Haz1558

Where did you live, mael?

6:50 am

mael

really, where on the lake? I'm from Arco, in the northern tip :)

6:50 am

ladycece920

marc - head and wings of eagle, body of lion

6:50 am

Haz1558

gr7 - two versions of a fabled monster, extend the gr5 before it.

6:50 am

mael

it's incredibly beautiful up there

6:50 am

Haz1558

This year we stayed in Garda but I've also stayed in Riva, Torre del Benaco and Sirmione.

6:51 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks

6:51 am

Haz1558

It is lovely. We took a ferry across to Salo for the day - very swanky!

6:51 am

mael

yeah, Riva is only five minutes from my house. I'm really glad you stayed in Garda, I think it's the most under appreciated lake in Italy. Forget lake Como!

6:51 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Marc.

6:52 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get the stats for the 't' in the top left hand corner, please?

6:52 am

Haz1558

I've never been to Como so I can't compare but we're very fond of Garda. We usually try to get to Verona as well.

my cousins live in Verona, it's a very beautiful city. Small and quieter than most

6:53 am

Marc Freeman

stupid I don't know why I did not see that. Thanks

6:53 am

Marc Freeman

un7, please?

6:54 am

Haz1558

Yes, Verona is a walkable city but with plenty to see. One year we went to the opera, understood not a word but enjoyed the atmosphere immensely.

6:54 am

Haz1558

un7 - one who makes things one.

6:55 am

Marc Freeman

but there is no 'y'

6:55 am

Haz1558

Or one who brings things/people together. It's the person who does rather than the verb.

6:58 am

Marc Freeman

how many points

6:58 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

6:58 am

Haz1558

un7/44

6:58 am

Haz1558

Good.

6:59 am

Marc Freeman

What are the stats for the other two 7's? I have gr7 and un7.

7:00 am

Haz1558

There are two gr7 and the other 7 is an7/36

7:00 am

Haz1558

The other gr7 differs only in the final vowel.

7:00 am

Marc Freeman

((Stormtrooper)) I thought about all of my past bunnies and their distinct personalities.

7:33 am

car.eeyore

My son made the sweetest poster of him. It now hangs where his cage was.

7:33 am

Trifioso

that is so incredibly sweet, car

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Aw, very touching. What happened to the bunny?

7:34 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies are now 10, 8, 6 and 3.

7:34 am

car.eeyore

Well, I have to take the blame. In the sunporch where he had his free space, there was an old white wicker furniture set. He loved to chew on it and all attempts to keep him from doing so failed, so I let him do it. I am assuming that the paint chips and wicker probably did him in. I am not proud and feeling incredibly guilty.

7:36 am

Trifioso

dearest, please don't do that to yourself.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Bunnies are at risk for GI stasis--gut slows down and bunnies can go downhill quickly. They stop eating, get sluggish...

7:37 am

car.eeyore

That was it! That's what happened. He was so cold.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

But bunnies are chewers. My home shows the damages.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

They get hypothermic.

7:37 am

car.eeyore

And he didn't like to be picked up. When I did pick him up the other night, he weighed next to nothing.

7:38 am

Scrabbler

7:38 am

car.eeyore

I wrapped him in a towel. The kids spent some time with him, and the I just laid on the couch with him all night. I didn't want him to be alone.

7:38 am

Scrabbler

There are many possibilities for his demise, but do not beat yourself up.

7:39 am

car.eeyore

I can see where we buried him from my window. Under my mom's magnolia tree. We lit three candles and let them glow all night.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Nice, Car. I have a pet cemetery with 5 bunnies and many hamsters and gerbils.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

How old was your bunny?

7:41 am

car.eeyore

I'm sorry. I have to go. I have to get mom to daycare and then have a field trip with Dylan, so I need to pull myself together and stop the tears.

7:41 am

car.eeyore

He was 3.5

7:42 am

Trifioso

have a good day sweetheart. please, be gentle with yourself today

7:42 am

car.eeyore

Do we know how to do that in this family?!?!?

7:42 am

And I must get ready for my day trip to Canada for hiking.
