    Greetings:

    I put up inter-connecting words and a Latin phrase a few days ago in a different thread. Do you know the missing letters?

         
        amor omni_ vincit                     love conquers all

         _n_                                            literary miscellany

        s_ _ p                                         be impatient


    The words above were part of our local paper's Friday cwp.

    Thanks.

    CoCo

    Didn't see this until now. Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it. I'm a big crossword puzzle geek. I figure people can laugh at me now, but when I'm old and my mind still works, then who will be having the last laugh?

    Dear Ilovebirthdays:

    Thanks for responding! I was starting to get worried, especially since snowbird won't return till tomorrow. Not at all a geek thing.

    BTW, welcome to the board, and please stay in touch!

    Best regards,

    CoCo

    Big lurker. Little poster. I can't remember exactly what but you did a thread about the beauty of the Pac. Northwest or Oregon, (can't remember which) that I loved, as I live in the Portland area. It is beautiful here now. For some reason the leaves are more brightly colored than usual, and I think we're rivaling the New England area this year for putting on a show of the changing of colors of the leaves. (Which I happened to see in person a few years ago as we were there for the display.)

    Snowbird :

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    I'll try to contain my enthusiasm. You're correct on all 3 counts! Snap was so simple yet, initially, so elusive.

    Did I say thanks?

    Welcome!  Welcome!  Welcome! 

    It's the little ones that get us.

    Once, I spent three days agonizing over a puzzle because I refused to consult a thesaurus!

    I was almost crazy at one time.

    LOL.

    I think a sometimes-obnoxious poster would beg to differ!

    I've tried to do the crossword puzzle in my latest issue of Harpers, but so far I just show myself to be a complete idiot.

    Thanks, Syl, daniel and Priest.

    Not an idiot, daniel, merely ignorant of what Harpers wants. What is this, after all? Twenty questions?

    So Priest is trying to convince us that he's not the obnoxious poster that Sylvia speaks of...

    Which could be true as I thought she meant me...

      Close

      Confirm ...
