That is, in fact, the lovely Ms. Gardner pictured at my blog. A tribute (of sorts) to her and part of my campaign to have her clued on her own merits, rather than as the ex of anyone...which actually seems to have been successful.<BR/><BR/>Hope you'll come back again ; )Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-83450998910324241372007-06-30T10:42:00.000-06:002007-06-30T10:42:00.000-06:00Thank You for helping me solve Byron Walden's Satu...Thank You for helping me solve Byron Walden's Saturday June 30 <BR/>Puzzle.

Something can be "wonderful", "awful" and/or "saucerful"? I guess one can add "ful" to anything, I'm still in doubt! Or "doubtful"...<BR/><BR/>I will continue to write "a saucer full of milk" as a "saucer full of milk" until I am tortured into submission to write otherwise!DONALDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398968047673788006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-74136422556375045192007-05-19T07:16:00.000-06:002007-05-19T07:16:00.000-06:00It's always nice to get comments, but it's especia...It's always nice to get comments, but it's especially nice when it's from someone new. Thanks, Jay. And you're welcome. When I first started doing the NYT, I was lost without Rex Parker's blog. No matter how long you've done them, every once in a while you'll look at a word and think -- huh? Last week we had ETS clued something like a saucerful. I knew I had it right, but it made no sense. When I asked the question in a comment, I saw the obvious -- flying saucer.Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-41740562526857747602007-05-19T07:06:00.000-06:002007-05-19T07:06:00.000-06:00Linda thank you for clarifying a couple of doubts ...Linda thank you for clarifying a couple of doubts I had in solving the NYT Saturday's puzzle.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
