7:12 am
herinfernallady

I liked that grid :)
7:12 am
smooth_pappa

not me... we've had too much nun, and no rain lately... thney keep calling for it to rain, and it will sprinkle for a few minutes, and that's it. I really hope it downpours today.
7:12 am
smooth_pappa

I heard about that grid, dorens ;)
7:13 am
dorens

yes, it was fun, but it took a big chunk out of my day, herein. do try to accomplish something else besides babble
7:13 am
smooth_pappa

A-HA! I think I've just cracked this puzzle... let's see
7:14 am
dorens

7:15 am
dorens

7:15 am
smooth_pappa

after about 6 weeks of long days involving cataloge photo shoots, my latest project is moving our entire sample room, a suite that we use for storage, and our shipping dept into a new bigger suite in the same building
7:15 am
smooth_pappa

that's what's been keeping me from babbleland
7:15 am
herinfernallady

Nice smooth is it a job you love though?
7:16 am
dorens

so, is that a good kind of busy then? bigger suite usually would mean nicer digs, more room etc
7:16 am
smooth_pappa

yeah, it feels good to be busy at work... but sometimes it is a lot
7:17 am
herinfernallady

I wish i had my brain back to work :(
7:17 am
dorens

why are you not working herin?
7:18 am
smooth_pappa

7:18 am
evanadine

7:19 am
dorens

7:19 am
herinfernallady

Babble was too small today
7:19 am
herinfernallady

Thus im here
7:19 am
evanadine

havent been over there yet -- does that mean theres hope for me finishing
7:20 am
dorens

my sister (a professor at tufts) had mental problems and stopped working many years ago.... she seems to be getting it back together now, but will probably never go back to work
7:20 am
dorens

me neither, (not babbling yet)... is it as small as the 44 we had? (say no)
7:20 am
herinfernallady

Evan its about 80 words. Dorens i havent worked in about a year and a half
7:21 am
dorens

and you don't feel ready yet, herin? (i'm only saying, she stayed out too long)
7:21 am
evanadine

i think i saw a grid ones with under 40 words...32, i want to say...
7:22 am
herinfernallady

Smooth hints on finishing this? Naked pairs etc. Yep Dorens i like the inside away from out there. I rarely go out in the week
7:23 am
dorens

you may be right eva.... i just remember at one point 444 wasa the largest I had done, and Ii remember seeing a 44, thinking it was a neat way to remember largest and smallest... but now that i think of it, i seem to recll a 35
7:24 am
smooth_pappa

7:24 am

toughest one of the month for me
8:22 am
UDbmas

mediums are always the worst ones for me
8:26 am
drwho

Difficulty score 34. Tougher than the average medium. Virtual cross hatching is the most advanced technique needed.
8:28 am
UDbmas

Had to go green, but opening up now

UnikeTheHunter

9:46 am
UnikeTheHunter

9:47 am
UnikeTheHunter

No. It was good. Complicated, but good.
10:06 am
OrangeSlice

10:06 am

10:09 am
UnikeTheHunter

10:09 am
Krys10

no, it indicates that my name is Krysten in RL
10:09 am
Krys10

no relation
10:09 am
OrangeSlice

That's what I always thought.
10:13 am
UnikeTheHunter

I'm really stuck. And I just hate to use greens on a medium. I think I'll take a break now.
10:14 am
Krys10

see ya later
10:15 am
OrangeSlice

I think it just opened up
10:15 am
Krys10

3:08 pm

de-greening is what the oil companies do
