I might as well post again and hopefully turn the page

Hi Brenda! Sorry I missed you! I've been trying to help D#2 organize her things and pack. I want to make sure she has everything before she leaves next week. I hope your end of summer is better than the first half. It is a gorgeous day here! Of course, I can't really enjoy it from inside, but it looks nice out!

How was your weekend camping?

Hi Stella

Weather is a little dull now but the weekend was wonderful. Spent quite a lot of time in the pool cooling off

D#2 is worried that she does not have as much stuff as her sister or brother. She is a real worry wart! I told her that if she forgets something or needs something, then we would bring it to her.

She gave me one of her page-a-day desk calendars, brain puzzlers. Here's the first puzzle:
5 words starting with JA or JAN are defined in the list below. What are they?
1. A ringing sound -
2. A mercenary-
3. A piece of clothing-
4. Sprightly-
5. To chatter-

jacket, jaunty, Jabber, for the last three???

Yes MizT, the last 3 are jacket, jaunty and jabber!

Hi All..Interesting Stella...two quickly come to mind..#1. a ringing sound= jangle/jingle and # 3. A piece of clothing= jammies, # 4 Sprighly may be -jig? and the other two completely elude me. Chatter....a talking jag?

Stella, is number 1, Jangle? NO idea about the mercenary. . . will go to dictionary, now, but will not post whatever I find till others have a chance

HUMMM< Mama beat me to jangle, I had big trouble getting back here and did not see her post, sorry Mamaceita.

Can I make a suggestion?

Yes, jangle is the first one and janissary is correct for the second one.

Suggest away!

Mama, jammies was not listed, but I'm not sure the question was looking for slang words. It only gave me the answers I listed.

No problem Stella...jacket never came to mind and is more fitting. Go Miz T....I didn't think of jaunty either and like you had no clue for mercenary. I need to get my hands on one of those calendars...pretty cute.

Hello, Mamacita, Stella and MizT!

Gone so fast?

Oh, well. I'll check back later.

HEY MAMA, I LIKE Jammies as an answer! Just a bit outside the box, but we have used that word so much I would not be surprised if it makes the dictionary soon!

everyone

sorry cant stay and chat today. out all day long

have a great day/evening

Wanted to thank everyone who congratulated our nephew on his engagement. Now we're just waiting for them to announce the date.

Stella, tell Brendan to use Neosporen (sp?) or just regular vaseline on his knee. Just put a small amount on before bed. It will keep the scab from cracking. Same thing happened to a friend and that was what he was told to do. Hope it gets better.

OK, the second puzzle:

Fill in the blank with the word that fits the definitions on either side.
Portion of__________To separate
Type__________To classify
Severe__________Part of a boat

Becky are you still around by any chance?

Thanks Becky, I'll tell him. How are you doing?

Stella...I'm not quite getting what needs to be addressed here.

I'm still here. Was trying to type the peach cake recipe in notepad before posting it.

hi to you and Becky...looks as if I've finally hit pay dirt and found folks! Whoo hoooo!

Mama, you're looking for a word that means "portion of" and also means "to separate", one word meaning both things.

Would #1 be divide?

Think this is the first time I've been on since Saturday. How have you been?

Mama, when are you going to the Jazz festival?

#3 stern?

Hi Stella, wasn't ignoring you. Trying to do too many things at once.

#2 class?
That would make my guesses for the three to be:
divide,class, and stern. hope I got this one

#1 is not divide, that fits "to separate" but not "portion of".

#3 is stern!

Stella, I leave early Friday for the festival and return very late Monday, or rather early on Tuesday...It should be a blast..it usually is. Becky, I'm so glad to see you..its been awhile...hope things are good for you.

May I changemy first guess to 'slice'?

Sorry Mama, they don't have "class" listed for #2. Maybe the meaning for "class" is too far removed for "to classify." I don't know, although it sounds good to me.
