Good morning! Beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Good day all.

Hi all. BBL for a chat. xxx

It IS a gorgeous day..and a holiday so no diggers out there Hello everyone!

Morning everyone !!

nice easy game, to make up for yesterday perhaps?

hi all

Donna, hope there were no nuts in your trees last night?

Nope..and only birds this morning!! Thanks Lou! Mind you..I didn't shake it to see what fell out last night lol. I shouldn't make a joke out of it.. but anyway, all is fine

How do you like your newest iphone Lynne? I am very jealous

The only clue I can think of..and I am 3 points off lowest moves, is not to move Ks til after the two red Kings are out. That brought me down 5 moves.

hello everyone Donna sure hope that nut stays away from your tree , How is your dad ?

Dad is doing pretty well, Knitter! Thanks ! He doesn't feel like he is making progress fast enough.. but to me, considering all.. I think he is doing ok.

I think I did 7s first, too.

Nope, I was wrong.. 7s first. Bring down more than you think you should, too.

Please Luigi..spill a few beans!

Good morning all...a beautiful day here. Hope all have a fantastic day. Donna, glad to hear your Dad is doing better and that you had no unwanted visitors last night.

And, thanks for the clues.

Thanks TKO !!

You should have let us think you were being clever with words, Donna!

Get well soon, Ib.

Nice and easy today . . .

I wish I could find an easy way to get those low moves Kimvictoria330, but yes, it's easy to finish at least.

Nice and easy today . . .

I'm missing 10 moves, Norm!

Di...no one wants to clue us in !

see if today goes better than yesterday...hmmm..

i actually got it on my 3rd try on a crapshoot of just moving cards around. finally found that dang A of spades!!! i love it when they want to play hide and seek. arrrrghghhhhh matey.

Hi everyone! Gotta love Minnesota....4 1/4 inch hail--grapefruit size--was just reported about 25 miles from where I live!!! Tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings for the entire southern half of the state for the next 4 hours. No hail at my house yet. Do I get to say a big aaaarrrrgggghhhh????

usedart, I have been hearing the oil has reached Pensacola Beach. Is that near you?

Sirens going off. Tornado watch extended until midnight tonight. Time to go to the basement. Oops, I don't have one in my new loft! Oh boy. Now the hail has started pounding on the skylights. The flowers will be ruined. Winds are hurricane speeds just a little north of me.

Hope you will be safe misslanny! Lie down in the bathtub and pull a carpet over you!!!!

Thanks for Your kind wishes Di and Donna . It was last Years Xmas present , kind of a present nobody want's , but the wise ones thinks that it can be contained . Cheers Ib

Hi, everybody, I love this game and enjoy reading your comments - especially when I have trouble with a game. I play at about 11 p.m. eastern time (NH). I am in the learning phase of the tricks of the trade of SC..
Keep well, one and all.

Hi lilybelle! Welcome!! I also play late and miss the early morning chatter. I don't play until at least noon and somedays not till 7-8-9 PM or later. There are a few of us on late and some of the early birds come back to check the chat later in the evening or check back the following day. I started last fall and am learning verrrrry slowly, but having a lot of fun and making great new friends.

Ib, I hope you are doing OK. Glad to be home from the hospital??? I hope you didn't give the nurses too bad a time. Ha Ha!!

Misslanny, Pensacola Beach is about five miles away from my house. I'm a few blocks inland from the bay here in Pensacola and the oil has slowly been seeping into the intracoastal waterways of my backyard. I'm originally from Destin, Fl. and when the oil hits those beaches as it has here, you'll really hear a louder outrage than you have so far...

Also, try to stay safe as you can through the inclement weather... I'd rather deal with the all the hurricanes I've experienced rather than one nasty tornado...

(I'd rather deal with all the hurricanes I've experienced rather than endure one nasty tornado)

Thanks for your concern Donna and usedart. All's clear now. Lots of debris, leaves and tree branches down in my neighborhood from the 70 mph gusts and golf ball size hail. I did not venture out tonight to see what happened elsewhere. No tornadoes hit Minneapolis.

Everyone says the bathroom is the safest room in the house, but not the case in my new place. I feel quite safe because of the cement block construction, but there are lots of windows and skylights and the upper level hallways have glass floors. The bathroom is the only room that is completely drywall without cement block walls, so not the safest. I figured out it's my laundry room that's going to be the tornado room. No windows, cement block walls, poured concrete ceiling...a true bunker!

I just read this article in the LA Times about Pensacola Beach (that's what made me think about usedart) and this entire thing is just breaking my heart:

A gulf boat captain committed suicide...a clean-up worker committed suicide. It must be devastating for those who have to see it every day. The rest of us hear snippets and see little photos and are angry but it's nothing like having it in one's backyard!!

Mislanny. I did in fact have a good fight with the Head Nurse , big as a house she got so mad at me one evening that she put her fingers in the elastics of her huge underpants and let it go with a bang . It did not help that I collapsed on my bed unable to breathe because I was laughing so hard . We did however become good friends in the end.

Ib, you are TOO FUNNY!!!!!

Congratulations Jeffy!
