Morning all!

Good morning everyone.

Ok, Astro, fess up! Clues?? Please????

Hi everyone.x

Nice puzzle. Donna, you will say it's elegant ! Morning everyone.

Morning gang. Should be on my way but just a couple tries can't hurt.

Lynne C, I start thinking about what I did and BOOM you are on the board, you didn't even need my help!

Lynne C, I start thinking about what I did and BOOM you are on the board, you didn't even need my help!

Definitely an elegant game.

Good morning everyone!

Today I need prayers for my brother in law's daughter. She just finished her residency in Emergency Medicine at the U of Virginia hospital and passed the boards and was working down in Guatemala where the U of V has a rural medical facility when she became ill and was taken to a private hospital down there. She is 28 years old with a bright future and now they think she may have either had a stroke or has MS. U of V is going to medivac her back to the states for tests and care. Please pray for her.

Well almost had it, isn't as easy as it first seems.

Afternoon all

Prayers on the way Lynne C. x x

To Lynne- I will keep your brother-in-law's daughter in my prayers, hopefully they are wrong.

Lynne my prayers also are on the way

Good morning all.Sorry to hear your bad news Lynne.

10 first

Oh Lynne.. you can count on us!!!!

Thank you all for the prayers. Zan - since medical care in Guatemala is no where near what we have here, it is also my prayer that they are wrong and she is restored to good health so she can do the good work she wants to do. No one goes into emergency medicine to become rich, but those doctors, who people see as they enter the emergency room save lives daily.

Definitely elegant Mom !! It was so elegant it took me many tries to finish as I was trying to make it something it wasn't. I still don't have good moves though lol

sorry Lynne C

I found 10 first easier.

to: donnamusica I can't even finish....hint please.

Help....

zan..after saying all that..I can't do it again LOL!! How embarassing! Stop winking knowingly Mona.. you know nothing today!!!! Seems to me it was 9s first..but you have to get both red tens down at the same time. Will try again lol

Nack and I said the same thing but differently. lol .That was as clear as mud. 10s first as he said so both red tens are out so you can move 9 and then 9s to clear the far right column. Then Bob's your uncle. It is Ks first. You can bring down a lot of stuff..

Wow that took forever. Yes donna I agree you have to get both 10's down.

Btw...good news here..Dad is coming home for the weekend tonight !!!! Bad news..I lost a filling last night and couldn't find someone to take me in town..so am getting an emergency appt in my town with a new dentist who was kind enough to see me. Well, that part is good news lol! But owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Orzabelle is right.. 10s first. Hey Claudia..how have you been??

Mornin all.....prayers to Lynne.........Donna...owwwwwww........

Can anyone tell me how you do the card icons?

zan K C becomes K if you omit the space.

What a morning I had! I didn't just lose a filling, the tooth broke and half is gone and the rest is cracked. Then I got into the taxi and I shut my skirt in the door and then slid in and my skirt came off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost died !!!! First he screamed I didn't see anything as I was yelping and trying to pull it up..and then He said you didn't have to give me a tip, ma'am!! He was laughing so hard cause he saw how red I was. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh Next time I staple it to the skin of my waist!!

Hi Donna and all! I've been great. My OS no longer gives me the capability to go really fast with my mouse, so I wisely spend less time clicking.

Poor Donna! I guess you could consider yourself lucky! Lucky that it wasn't one of those cabs on tv with the camera.....

Prayers for Lynne - Yeah for Donna - and oww for Donna - and then laughing with Donna

Good day all else!

Oh God lou.. who knows?????? I hadn't thought of that.

prayers to Lynne and her BIL's daugher...

The cab driver might disagree joek LOL!! Yes I did mcr girl.. didn't go commando lol!!!

Hi everyone. I'm late again. Prayers for your brother-n-law's daughter, Lynne. She sounds like a wonderful person and I'm sure she will be well looked after. Prayers for a full recovery so she can carry on with her wonderful work.
Donna, you're hilarious! I bet it wasn't funny at the time though. So glad your Dad's home for the weekend. No eating toffee apples for you!

Thanks for the 10 H and K D hint.

It was potatoes and chicken, Di..and I don't mean I was crunching the bones lol!!! Not fair!! And about this morning's event, I shall continue to skirt the issue lol! Have a good weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day weekdn all the Mom's on SC!!!

Donna i am so happy to hear that your dad is coming home for the weekend. Fab news. x x And that story about your trip to the dentist and your skirt coming of is so so so funny !!! I have not laughed so much in ages. Sorry it was at your expense though. Lol. x x

K and 9 got me a bit lower

Been giggling about it all day sound like something I would do.

Thanks PA for answering....ok let me test A Q

Joe, I need another poem!

Donna's hilarious skirt story reminded me of something. In the dead of winter in Minnesota it is still dark when people are going to work. My boss (after several+ cocktails) told this story: it was the days of long full prairie skirts (80's) and she woke and dressed quickly for the office in her dark walk-in closet so as not to awaken her husband. She put on her long, black slip, then put on her prairie skirt. Went into her dark garage, got into her dark car and drove to the office. Parked her car in the lot (still dark outside) and entered the brightly lit office, greeted by the CEO and several others. Proudly wearing only her long black slip.

Both Donna story and your boss' are the makings of my nightmares. Except I'm back in college and I didn't study for the final and I can't find the class room and I forgot to put on any clothes. Ack. Glad its only in my dreams.

No poem just yet
I'm in a sweat
one thirty one
can't get it done!!

Haven't a clue
of what to do.
Don't know what it is.
We need the Fizz.

Nice to be in such great company. Thanks for ummmmmm, poetry!

Yay! I did it! Back to the 9 first, bring down 23 2 before the filp.

Thanks Nachattack . You were spot on , I came out with 142.
Cheers Ib.
