    Do you work crossword puzzles?

    When David's wife passed, I found dozens of crossword puzzles from the news papers, in books, even in a fifty game device along with pencils made just for the puzzles. God bless her, I can't even do one.......

    I do one a day for a while (about 2 months now), then stop for a few months, then start doing them again. They come in various levels jh. Some people who have been doing them for years, are very good at doing the higher level ones. You really have to check them out to see which level and which brand because they have huge differences. I also find some of them impossible.

    I like the crossword puzzle books with the variety of different types of puzzles.

    You, mcm, are the only one who has a constant problem with "disappearing" comments and answers (5 years now). You've accused EVERY moderator of taking away your answers. I'll ask again. What is the number in that little red circle at the top of your page, right beside akaQA? It would help you a lot if you would only read the answers and comments placed there. Just click on it and learn! Please answer me mcm, please!

    I saw the answer you are referring to, and it's gone, BUT that answer was posted by "my cat's mom" and YOU are "mycatsmom". Do you have two accounts? Why?

    Ahh you're right Bob. She has had two accounts lately. Good observation but I'm sure, as usual, there will be no response from mcm....just more confusion and accusations!
    jhharlan

    Cat, you've posted twice under two different names. Pull your head out of the, uh,sand and pay attention. And start voting your fellow contributors up for cry yi yi......
    Bob/PKB

    jhharlan, I've answered several of your questions and TU those questions. You seem to be purposefully ignoring acknowledgement of that, making it seem hypocritical - to me - for you to tell another member to vote up others.
    Note to moderator: this post is not meant to incite a problem, but a fair and honest observation.

    I removed my cats' mom account yesterday because you are only allowed to have one account on akaQA. I commented to you on both your accounts to inform you that I would soon be shutting down the my cats' mom account.
    MCM read the comment in the blue section I sent to you yesterday.

    Note to Bob....
    Julie and you were warned months ago to stop bickering with each other and while Julie heeded the warning, you did not. I have seen you come after Julie time after time on akaqa by commenting to her with belittling remarks, dissecting and ripping apart just about anything Julie says that you have not agreed.

    Julie choosing to ignore you does not make her a hypocrite.

    You have No one to blame but Yourself if Julie chooses to ignore your answers and comments to her questions.
    This is also a fair and honest observation.
