spreadeagle

Okay, I see where a couple of players have done this without greens, so I will give it a try.
6:48 am
smooth_pappa

done!
6:49 am
smooth_pappa

and also without greens, eagle. Once you get the ball rolling, it's really not that tough
6:49 am
spreadeagle

Sounds good to me..
7:00 am
spreadeagle

7:19 am
spreadeagle

The "4" in the bottom left block is what opened it up for me.
7:21 am
eyeman

i have it there too. still alive.
7:41 am
eyeman

GingerUK

I haven't found the best starting point yey!
8:10 am
sprite

I had a helluva time with yesterday's. This one pretty much solves itself as soon as you get started.
8:11 am
sprite

good luck and hf :)

hi all
8:39 am
moedog

not terrible
8:50 am
OrangeSlice

Not too bad. Not too bad at all.
8:59 am
h

eagle - your clue (4 in bottom left block) was the "miss" that i needed greens to find. it all kinda fell apart at that point, but greens definitely helped... :)
9:15 am
spreadeagle

h - That 4 was not easy for me to figure out without greens. I'm sure it will be easy for some of the other players on here, but not for me.
10:30 am
UnikeTheHunter

Go.
10:46 am
UnikeTheHunter

Done. Quite easy. With auto-greens it went very fast.
11:00 am
Krys10

seemed easier than the last two days (which were easy and medium, i think)
11:25 am
drwho

Difficulty score 33. I didn't find it easier than the last 2, but I did find that with patient persistent plodding I eventually solved it without going green.
11:48 am

I thought this was a bit easier than the last two but only by a little. No guessing necessary.
7:45 pm
OrangeSlice

Mediums seem to give me the most trouble, for some reason.
7:45 pm
hurshy

but this is not a medium. it is a hard. you must be doing archives?
7:45 pm
OrangeSlice

I've yet to fail on a hard or expert puzzle, but some of these mediums in the archives are stopping me dead.
7:46 pm

hi everyone
7:47 pm
OrangeSlice

Have you completed Dec. 11 ?
7:47 pm
torgone

Knowing nothing more complex than naked triples, I only have a few Experts that have eluded me so far ..
7:48 pm
hurshy

i have completed them all.
7:48 pm
hurshy

except today's, which i am just now doing on a packing break.
7:48 pm
torgone

Of course you have, my little dynamo ..
7:48 pm
norinva

Hurshy! long time no talk to!
7:48 pm
hurshy

i have a phone number!
7:48 pm
hurshy

hello, norinva
7:49 pm
norinva

what are you packing for?
7:49 pm
hurshy

*blush* moving.
7:50 pm
norinva

new house?
7:50 pm
hurshy

apartment.
7:50 pm
norinva

same town, state?
7:50 pm
hurshy

no, one state away.
7:51 pm
norinva

congratulations! new job?
7:51 pm
hurshy

uh... not yet... fingers crossed.
7:51 pm
OrangeSlice

I could never move out of state. I love my state.
7:51 pm
norinva

Just make sure the cat boudoir is safely packed!
7:52 pm
hurshy

well, i love my... states. i'm a new england gal, i wouldn't move out of new england (unless it was to europe), but i don't mind changing states within it.
7:52 pm
norinva

Then you also know Moxie...
7:53 pm
hurshy

moxie? a babbler/sudokuer?
7:53 pm
norinva

no, the beverage
7:54 pm
hurshy

oh, actually, i'm not sure i do. is it alcoholic? cause i don't drink, so that would explain that
7:55 pm
norinva

I can't believe you live and New England and haven't heard of it. I usually get coworkers from there to bring some back for me when they go up. It's soda.
7:55 pm
hurshy

oh. hmm, sounds vaguely familiar.
7:55 pm
hurshy

in RI, where i lived from age 9-18, we had del's lemonade, awful awfuls, and coffeemilk
7:56 pm
norinva

It's an acquired taste, believe me. But its very good for your digestion.
7:56 pm
hurshy

lol
7:57 pm
norinva

btw, I lost another "child" in Feb, the sister the one I lost last March. Rough year... I have 2 left now.
7:57 pm
hurshy

:(
7:57 pm
norinva

hou are yours?
7:57 pm
hurshy

they are all good.
7:58 pm
hurshy

although the packing is making cinder very nervous.
7:58 pm
norinva

do they move well? do they know what's going on?
7:59 pm
hurshy

they move well, but i'm not sure they know what's going on right now... cinder is just afraid to travel, though once she gets rolling, she's fine.
8:00 pm
norinva

Mine have been in one place too long. I don't think they would move easily. They're having enough to do dealing with the additon construction.
8:04 pm
norinva

Good luck with the move!
8:04 pm
hurshy

ty
8:04 pm
hurshy

mine have lived in.... 4 houses in their 7 years.
8:05 pm
hurshy

plus visiting my parents.
8:05 pm
hurshy

and various other people.
8:05 pm
hurshy

i take them wherever i can.
8:05 pm
norinva

One of mine makes himself sick just going to the vet's
8:05 pm
hurshy

they have cat carsick meds
8:06 pm
norinva

The vet was going to give me meds for him, but then he had a liver issue, so I don't know if she still will.
8:07 pm
norinva

So I just don't feed him for about 6 hours ahead.
8:07 pm
hurshy

poor thing.
8:07 pm
norinva

It's not pretty....!
8:26 pm
davekingpt

My cats are fine in the car but the dog drools as soon asa you get her in and often loses her stomach
8:27 pm
norinva

that sounds like a problem.
8:27 pm
davekingpt

We were her third home at age 2 and we're guessing it has to do something with she associates the car with getting take to the kennel to be abandoned
8:28 pm
norinva

how old is she now?
8:28 pm
davekingpt

we tried lots of short drives to fun places but it hasn't gotten any better
8:28 pm
davekingpt

she's 4. we tried meds. we tried ginger snap cookies. you name it, we tried it
8:29 pm
davekingpt

she also seems to get freaky when the Christmas tree goes up. We got her from the pound on Feb. 1 of 2005 and my guess is she got taken to the pound around Cristmas of 2004
8:29 pm
norinva

I got lucky w/ one of my cats. Since we always came back home after we went to the vets, I gained a level of trust from her.
8:32 pm
davekingpt

My cats do ok at the vets. I used to have a dog that loved the car. One day she was grovvin in the front seat as I ran errands and then I forgot myself and went to the dry cleaners very near the vets. Boy did her head get low for awhile. *LOL*
