Off for a BIG DAY with a "genius" at the Apple Store.<br /><br />What everyone else said. Tough puzzle, but able to finish with many smudges. Liked the HOT start with WASABI.

I do love it.<br /><br />Just finished watching part three of the second series and it was completely new for me so I don't know if I missed it although the DVR is set to record all episodes.<br /><br />To recap, the house has become a convalescent home and the general arrived to inspect it. Branson, who has an axe to grind, was poised to pour slop over him when Anna intercepted his note. Ms. Swire has been complicit with Mr. Carlisle in a political scandal. Bates returns to work in a pub and Lang suffers a breakdown.<br /><br />If this is familiar to anyone, please let me know and I'll understand it was something I missed.Lucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278649651081244724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-74200249059435281392012-03-07T20:18:15.701-06:002012-03-07T20:18:15.701-06:00EA: Good stuff!EA: Good stuff!Seldom Seenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552098012158588852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-31526385009808161202012-03-07T20:02:34.414-06:002012-03-07T20:02:34.414-06:00thank you all for the kind words & MB for the ...thank you all for the kind words & MB for the awesome write up! cannot adequately express my gratitude, except maybe through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D780hW7nsas" rel="nofollow">song</a>EAhttp://twitter.com/grimacetjacksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12893622513804028042012-03-07T18:43:30.609-06:002012-03-07T18:43:30.609-06:00seen, nope - thanks, i like it. :)seen, nope - thanks, i like it. :)melissa beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617567775900623609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-18759393844199353162012-03-07T18:07:41.995-06:002012-03-07T18:07:41.995-06:00mb: Were you aware of this monogram?mb: Were you aware of this <a href="http://www.wallpaperpimper.com/wallpaper/download-wallpaper-Milwaukee_Brewers_Classic_Logo-size-1280x1024-id-112595.htm" rel="nofollow">monogram</a>?Seldom Seenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552098012158588852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12252879590232981252012-03-07T17:58:55.539-06:002012-03-07T17:58:55.539-06:00Spitzboov: I agree.

I enjoyed the links and picures today.<br /><br />I have a new appreciation for heavy equipment operators. There was a 5 story crane right outside my front room window. The operator picked up the new telephone pole (It looked like a stick that far up in the air), swung it over our house, and dropped it gently into the hole right next to the existing pole. He threaded that pole between the P.G.&E wires and the telephone wires. I couldn't believe that he could do that from his remote cab with visibility restricted by the houses in his way.<br /><br />I'm finally warming up as there was no heat today, either. The inside of our house was 58 before the power was turned back on. <br /><br />We sure are creatures of comfort, aren't we?Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-39853075955931976982012-03-07T17:13:19.447-06:002012-03-07T17:13:19.447-06:00Hola Everyone, I finished the puzzle early on thi...Hola Everyone, I finished the puzzle early on this morning,but am just getting to the computer now. Our power has been off all day due to P.G.&E. putting in a new telephone pole in our next door neighbor's yard. Since the guy wires extend into our yard, we have had workmen in and out all day.<br /><br />I found the puzzle to be fairly straighforward today and I got the theme for once. I saw and heard these words often while growing up during WWII. <br /><br />I have never heard of Flaming Lips and didn't know Bustin Loose, but both were easily gotten with the perps. <br /><br />It was fun to see Air Dry which brought back many memories hanging the clothes on the line every week. After I married, I would go down two flights of stairs to the basement of our apartment to put the clothes in the washer, then up again and down again for the wet clothes to be hung on the line. It took most of the day to do the wash. I LOVED having a dryer when we moved into our first home. It saved so much time.<br /><br />Have a great day everyone.Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-67574887206585413472012-03-07T16:54:55.166-06:002012-03-07T16:54:55.166-06:00Thank you Melissa Bee.Thank you Melissa Bee.Jaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906163232315177399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-6795934588678763392012-03-07T16:53:50.787-06:002012-03-07T16:53:50.787-06:00Very inspiring erudite discussion between Grumpy a...Very inspiring erudite discussion between Grumpy and Argyle last night on Huppmobile brake adjustments.<br /><br />CED - I don't think that's one of ours.

As a child I woke up from a nightmare thinking that the enemy was in the hills across the creek from my home. "Loose lips sink ships" resonates with me. <br /><br />My next door neighbor was an air raid warden. No lights were allowed to show at night. I remember rationing stamps, especially for sugsr, gas, and shoes.<br /><br />I have read and watched so much WW II info since that I can't separate what I know now from what I knew then. As a tiny tyke it was scary.Yellowrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590216912123103432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-45696312032704082882012-03-07T15:19:43.094-06:002012-03-07T15:19:43.094-06:00PK@11:33 "Don't cha dare link that one, p...PK@11:33 "Don't cha dare link that one, please!"

Then when it suddenly becomes so obvious that I don't know how I couldn't have recognized it, I have to REPROACH myself for being so dense. Having to do that to myself really annoys me. lol (Especially when I have to do it three or more times in the same puzzle.)Grumpy 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02194375320149174361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-70340385282345334612012-03-07T13:37:04.819-06:002012-03-07T13:37:04.819-06:00Here are a couple more photos of the hummingbird b...Here are a couple more photos of the hummingbird babies.
