Good morning! Clues please - I must be doing something wrong!

9 was the charm for me!

Yes, 9 worked best for me too !! Morning everyone.

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh it logged me out when I got a better score!!!!!!

Thank you! You all are the best!

Welcome back Mom.. you were on a holiday I hope??

9 it is at least till SOMEONE comes along and shows us the error of our ways LOL Good Morning Cravers

Hi everyone, it's a no-flipper....sorry a misslanny ( can't get used to that), anyway 9 rules! now I've got to figure out how I did it? Jac xxx

Yes Donna, I went to Cape Cod with my sons and their families. It was fabulous except for the whale watch. I got horribly sea sick, threw up on 6 people (not my relatives), and was sick for 2 days. But it was worth it !!

Oh Mom..that sounds both miserable and heavenly all at once. Glad you are back..we missed you!!

J first.. red King first.

Donna, I agree with J first, but K plays up!

Mom, SIX people - that must be some kind of record. Congratulations! :- )

We were going so fast (it was a jet boat) that it just sprayed in the wind. I was so embarrassed I thought I would die. In fact, I wanted to !!!!

I can only imagine Mom!!!!!!

hello everyone Mom glad you had a good time while away sorry you got sick when you went out to whale watch ,

What a lovely vision Mom!!! I would have felt the same way - you probably couldn't have gotten away from them quick enough, LOL. I'm glad you can laugh about it now - that helps with the "embarassment" therapy!!!

Do you still wake in the night and your face goes red?? That happens to me even years after I am that embarassed.

Yes, Donna. And if I forgot about it for more than 10 minutes, my 4 year old grandson would remind me about it. He thought it was REALLY funny.

LOL Kids love stuff like that!

My first King played is clubs and I played the 8 straight up

Mom a great way to handle embarrassment with strangers is to imagine they were horrible people and just getting what they deserved

LOL Good thought, Mom!! !!!

Sorry..it was Pa who said that..lol I always confuse family members

True, Donna. My family members were confusing family members too !! My 12 year old grandson walked around the boat pretending he didn't know me. He was as embarrassed as I was !!

hahaha!!! Well tell him it won't be the last time..to get over it. lol He likely embarasses you in the cookie aisle at times lol!

Oh Mom, it sounds like a trip full of very special memories (in so many ways!!)

Anyone who gets to be our age Mom without a few embarrassing moments has led a very boring life.

I seem to have more than my share of excitement lol, for someone who lives an extremely quiet life!!

You're right, Pa. I never liked boring !!

You must leave the 8s down as both red 8s need to be showing. you have to bring down onto them til both red 6s are down, so you can do a misslanny.

awww fizz... lol I was all thrilled to hit 123 and it is all for naught lol

Hello all. I don't see Norm on here. I've missed reading the comments the last couple of days. Is he OK? Last comment I heard from him was something about the Phillies losing on Pa's birthday. Hey, at my age, I can legally forget some things and not be at fault.

I am sure smoke is coming out of my ears! I am going to rest!!!!

Sorry donna, but you're not very far off.

The cards are making me rest - they won't load :-(

Well..Mom..at least you didn't start a chain reaction..you know like a yawn does...boy that would have been a real sight.....

That was how our kindergarten class was when I was a kid. We had an old battleaxe who was overwhelmed as she had way too many kids in her class..she would holler and the kids would start tossing their cookies in an assembly line of sickness..it was awful! I was probably first lol!!!

Norm is probably golfing this morning Larry..

Well, Donna, that's good. I was hoping he was not tossing his cookies. Wow! That's barf city.

I must confess..I was a kindergarten dropout LOL!!!

Excellent clues, Mom, Donna, Jacqueline, thanks guys.

Soooooo He did it again Oh well I will try again later.

My cards STILL won't load - no fair!

Wow! Firefox does make a difference. Last time I tried it it wasn't much faster but this time I am impressed. WooHoo, what a ride!

the faster time, takes more moves. The less moves takes more time.

fun to see comments from around the globe.

I'm back, I tried, I'm lost. Final interview tomorrow for my retirement job. I am very excited. I will wear out my knees tonight.

Pa, 5 plays straight up.

Also, K plays first and keep a black 7 down for the 6. I owe you that and much more... Good luck tomorrow!

Great place to play

Welcome 1Kier1.. you are absolutely right...best place to play and make great friends!!

usedart if ever you have a minute and can possibly remember. Game 1538 was a hard game with a lot of moves only 4 players found 172 moves then a bunch of us got stuck on 173. If you or any of the others can remember the last move I am brain fried trying to figure it out. 1Kier1 everyone here will tell you if you found us your home. Welcome, stick around, this is one great site with a whole bunch of interesting, caring, intelligent people. If you have questions feel free. It may take some time but someone will answer. This is not live chat but we are trying to goad the powers that be to fix that. Till then when you are looking for an answer just keep refreshing from time to time till someone spots your question.

Good luck Pa..will keep a good thought !!! Usedart..can't figure out how you did that!!! lol I am gobsmacked!!!!!

btw all. When referencing a past game if you put @# before it, it will create a link to that game. ie #1538.
Pa, will pray you have success tomorrow in you pursuit of a "retirement" job.

I just looked at #1538 (thanks Fizz) and I'm afraid I'd have to get back into it to find that 172 again.
That was quite a game...

Well it seemed easier to find the first time on 1538. You're assumption about the 5 was right. Perhaps you're not playing the 8 up straight?

Fizzbut your efforts will go along way to my peace of mind. That darn game was haunting me. Thank you I just felt like I had to open that red King under the 8.Another one of those ruts I was talking about.

Glad I could help. Now you can rest easy before your interview tomorrow.

Still a mile away !!

Good morning Norm before moving on make sure the last pile is gone then don't bring down the K or the 8 for low score wait for the Q

Ok here it is Norm when you move the 7 after the 9 immediately bring down the 6 then play up the 456 and move the 5 to the 6.

Thanks Pa.I was unnecessarily moving 6.

Js plays straight up... silly mistake I kept on making. Great clue Pa..the 6s. Thanks Norm..for saying it clearly lol

Js plays right up..

Congratulations Jeffy!
