Word Games / Re: Puzzle close times

Super super super.
Thanks a million - it was a great idea (even though I say so myself) but the actual putting it into practise has been done with expertise.

Hi Alan,
At least once a day I am having trouble getting into the website. It is not a problem with my internet as other sites I have no problems.
And then, when I have got the page open I want to see the other time situation on the other puzzles so press one of them - then I have trouble getting into the website again. It drives me crazy.
So - I was thinking - maybe it is possible to put a small box on each page showing the current time of each puzzle?

Its just an idea.

I agree that there are many hypenated words which I would never use in any other way .... but to-do ???? as a single word ???? In fact I'd like to disallow all those peculiar words - coed, login etc. but I suppose I've got used to them.

Another finger fault today ?
I tried to get into Chi this morning (my time) and for about 3 hours I just couldn't.
Is it because everyone is working hard at the new 10 letter puzzle that they just couldn't squeeze me in ?

I also found it hard to get online for a couple of hours and now I can't see the solution to the previous challenge game and it says that it will close in 4 hours - but I can see the current game ... weird.

Congratulations Alan - its great fun - and the full screen button helps.

The 9-letters usually are get at able so I didn't think it would be so hard to find the 10 letter word - I suppose with time I'll get used to finding ithidden among all those other letters.

After having lived near a fire - I can understand the worry and heartaches for all those who lose your homes, all your belongings and all those memories - it is definitely devastating and a time of distress and upset. My thoughts go out to all of you in Australia, whether it be because of the fire, flood or any other disaster that nature is throwing at you.

Thank you...
I think for the New Year we should say prayers to all those affected by natural disasters, earthquakes, fires, hurricanes etc.

Over the last 10 days here in Israel, we have gone from hot hot winds, causing a terrible fire in one of our forests with the death of over 40 people, to winds of over 100 km an hour and much well needed rain and even some snow in the north.... has the earth gone crazy ?

Now that the fire is behind us I can say Thank You to all those countries that sent help to us during the fire. I was sitting on my balconey watching the flames and seeing the black sky at night turning red, orange and yellow and during the day seeing the black cloud of smoke covering the sun and making us wonder if it was night.

Thank You.

Home made toys are the ones children adore the most so I think that is a wonderful thing you are doing and I am sure that they appreciate all the hard work that has gone into it.
Maybe if you give Chi a miss for a few days ???!!!!

Keep the good work up and put a smile on all those kids.   :)

Whatever / What shall I do ?
« on: September 23, 2010, 01:53:51 PM »
Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

They got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.

They are SO on my shit list ...

With most electrical things - give them a thump and with computers just ignore the problem and it goes away. I can't figure out why !

I was surprised to see that snog is uncommon -  I sure did a lot of it when I was younger :-)
