This is the bar where we can have our virtual wine or whatever lol.. Try view image when you right click on it I didn't find this easy at all.

Hello everyone. Nice cool Fla. day today.

Define cool, Norm. Morning everyone. Hard one for me !!

Ok finally.. Ks and 10s first.. and black ten to the right when the two are showing at the same time. Clear as mud?? lol

forget the black tens part of the clue..

Mom...84F with 80% humidity.I need a light sweater!

that should have been black7s.. 7s first..

Pa...I can get 138 two different ways,but no 135 !

The K stays up till after the 8 moves, that allows you to make places for the K and then J as you play back thru. I be tingkin dats it.

BBL Cravers Have fun it's an interesting game.

nice bar Donna

Nope Pa. That's not it.

Hididdlyi everyone.

Norm, it's 102F and 30% humidity in Abu Dhabi today. I don't know how you cope in that chilly Florida weather.

Norm. Better come up here today. They say we're having Fl. weather.

9 on 10. TTFN

Love the bar Donna!

Well, we have a really stupid peeping Tom it seems. He tried to climb into the flowering pear (outside this window) on one of those flimsy white plastic chairs..and our flowering pear has rotting branches. A big branch on the ground..boot prints on the white chair..and hopefully a bump on his noggin!!!! He doesn't know what a lucky fall that was..wouldn't wish that peep on anyone!!!! LOL Doesn't make me feel too secure though....

Keep the blinds down Donna. I hope he gave himself a big fright.

I need to visit our virtual wine bar again lol

I hope so too, Di!! I usually do keep them down..must have had them open to get some cooler night air in. It's odd..I heard a noise, but for once said to myself..."oh don't be silly..it's nothing as usual..just chill, woman!!!" LOL

Hopefully, he got a bigger fright. It's not a good feeling though, is it? Have some champange, that fixes everything!

Wow..Donna..thats creepy...

Yes.. ckae and champange will fix it all up

Don't look at me I was right here in Pennsylvania all the time.

LOL The lights glinting off your tiara would have twigged me, Pa !!

5s plays straight up.. and so do some others you might not imagine. Can't believe I finally got it..now it will go lower LOL!!!

I don't know if you can see it yet, but I've got ckae and champange, as requested!

Yes mcr girl..it IS! He got his comeuppance though.. or comedownance lol

I don't know if you can see it yet, but I've got ckae and champange, as requested!

I see the champange.. where is the ckae??? lol!!!!

Donna, your last clue was very Fizzbutian if you know what I mean.

Don't move the black king til after the Ks comes down.

How about some fresh minced garlic and fresh spring onion hummus w/ spinach on multigrain toast and a cup of earl grey ? MMMMMmmmmmm BBL lunch time

It's coming! Can you just pretend till it loads properly!!

Here 'tis. Enjoy! Gosh, I need to wipe my brow, now.

Donna? I believe it may go lower if your moving the black king because I'm not. It plays straight up for me. I also should mention that as tempting as it is the 6 does not need to come down.

LOL!!! Got a screenshot of that.. go lie down Di.. all that baking and pouring was too much

Hey PA...where is Meshman...did he run away from home or is he tied to the bed post.....

Sorry, Donna. I was in the kitchen fixing hummus, toast and tea for Pa. Siiiigggghhhh.

LOL Di, thanks for the lunch it was perfect. I like that your hummus is left with a little substance to it. Perfect. mcr meshman like all good alter egos tend s to drift off until needed. He is never far away

Ok Pa, lunch is ready.

Ok Pa, lunch is ready.

Pa, I wasn't nagging, really! I didn't see your comment, and I must have pressed twice. I think I need a cup of tea and a nice lie down.

Whew! You guys have me exhausted today and my day is just beginning!!

Give the poor man a cup of tea, Pa. He looks completely stressed out.

It's 8.30pm here. Graeme (hubby) and I are going out to watch the Socceroos play tonight. The game doesn't start till 10.30 our time. This is our do or die game.

It has been an exhausting evening, misslanny!

I must be really tired. I don't usually have a stutter.

Good day all! I am waiting to go to make myself beautiful, well, presentable anyway. My beautician is not a miracle worker nor is he a plastic surgeon!

I wasn't trying to speak in fizzbutian, Lavendar...I couldn't remember what the other ones that went straight up are lol. I think Pa just told you two..let me do it again.. thing is, by the time I finish I have forgotten already

What do you expect Di.. you've been slaving over a hot computer all evening..of course you are tired.. you are tired ...you are tired. LOL.
Have fun Lynne...always nice to get a little pampering

3 plays straight up, Lavendar..and the 4,6,7s play straight over.

10s plays straight up too

Thanks Donna. You're very generous.

riason, I'm keeping my eye on you;)

Thanks Donna, couldn't have done it without your clues !!!

good practice at focusing and memory..............

Well, I'm back from the game and it's 1:15am. We one 2:1 against Serbia! We're not in the cup anymore but at least went out with dignity! Will be going for NZ, England and USA now.
Hmmm, that could get confusing.

We won, not one. Better get some shuteye! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You mean you are rooting for NY E ngland and USA now or you are leaving for there? We can blame oncoming jetlag now Sleep well, Di!
You are very welcome Mom...glad it helped. You have sure helped me a million times

We had a 5.0 earthquake today. It was North of Ottawa..or around 3 hours away but I felt it..even with all the diggers that were making the house shake already.. I knew it was something different and hard.

Donna...I felt it too...I was takin a little nap and it felt like the dog was scratchin himself next to the bed....then I realized the dog was no where to be seen..so I got up and asked my husband if he felt that...and he said felt what.....so I guess he didn't..but I did....

Can't seem to get that last card..even with all the great clues......mmmmm...

Donna darling...keep the bar open...pretty please? I'm just beginning this game tonight and I think I will need the fortification. I am so brain dead today...when you wrote you had a "peeping tom (outside this window)" I thought you were talking about your avatar. You know..the little guy outside the window of the bar! And I thought you were making up a funny story about that little guy. So I clicked "Funny". And then I realized that it was for-real! Impossible to go back and unclick. This is not FB where "delete" is an option if you don't like what you wrote! Ha Ha. And THAT is why I need the bar to stay open late today!

OH, OH, OH, the first time I broke 1:00 for a game and number one to boot....I better take a picture cuz I don't think I'll ever beat Luigi again....

Congrats mcr! That's fantastic!!! I couldn't pay that fast if the house was on fire!

I do spend more time than I should on this site though....

Ditto. And I have nothing to show for it except a pathetic ranking of 167.

Wait! The pathetic ranking and a whole bunch of new friends!!!!!

I think thats a good trade off though......well...good night ..happy puzzling....

Misslanny, your "pathetic" ranking of 167 has little importance, what is more noteworthy is your "stellar" fortitude.

And to you Donna, I'd suggest you might seriously consider a Nancy Reagan "equalizer"...

love my daily dose of sc comments!

3 moves/second! Legitimately. :51 - 150 moves

usedart, thank you very much! I am here solely for the camaraderie of a very intelligent and humorous bunch of people from all over the world. I am not, I repeat NOT, addicted to solitaire in any way. Love your kitties, by the way! (Now that I know how to enlarge those tiny postage stamp photos...) Are they related?

David, we never think anyone gets their moves by cheating. We're in awe and happy for them. Congratulations!

Legit = meaning the computer didn't accidently give me a time I didn't/couldn't do. Some of the times I've seen in the past aren't humanly possible (a 19 ?) but also aren't cheating.

These gliches don't seem to happen in regards to low moves. But If one day a 73 move game appears when nobody else can better 130 moves...well, that kind of puts a tweak in the competition.... No??

Yes, misslanny, they are all from the same litter... My daughter Emma named them Layla, Roger and Isabella.

Oh! I get what you mean. I've never been lucky enough for the timer to stop while I'm playing, David, but I would sure welcome it!! You do well to break the 1 minute barrier legitimately.

Thank You
