ActiveRain Crossword Puzzle 070126 :: Go Ahead Have Some Fun

the ar puzzleI couldn't resist.

We started the day with Aloha Shirt Friday and, well, that just put me in a really good mood. Even better than the really good mood I was already in. So, I thought I'd start something new: 

Come on! It's a game! It's online. What more do you really need to know.

To the left is an image of today's puzzle. I guess you could print it out and do it old school. You'll need a small point pen and some really good eyes if you do. But you'll have more fun if you link right to it!

 

OH MAN! I HAVE TO PLAY RIGHT NOW!

 

If you all like it. I'll do a regular one and I'll make 'em harder. This one's a piece of cake. 

Tomorrow I will be posting an ActiveRain Word Search. There is a method to my madness.

By the way, this is all you'll win if you win. But in my world, winning is it's own reward.

I liked it but I am stumped on 2 across.  Darn.  I usually do the Sunday NYT crossword with no problems.  OK that is not entirely true.

Laura, thank you for humoring me. You might have fun!

Maureen, well, it's the most famous signature according to ME! Though I think many would agree. Think "cat" only bigger. 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
Ahhhh.  Well, I wouldn't have gotten there with out the clue.  So I guess I did not really win, but it was fun and clever!

As long as you had fun! Sometimes fun is it's own reward as well. :)

OK, I'm stuck on eiffel tower, time to draft..hhmmm..any hints?
Posted by Real Estate Virtual Assistant Laura Monroe (Creative Agent Solutions.com (916)343-3823) over 3 years ago
LOL... these few comments are as much fun for me as the game!!  The eifel tower is a reference to one member's profile photo, posing as if he's holding the eifel tower up. I thought that would be the toughest. As for "time to draft", no clue. Gonna let you stew on that one.  :)

                  Welcome To Jeff Turner's Blog....   :)

Yup. I'm Hijacking it   :)  Kiss it good bye Hubba ...    Wink. Wink....

Okay, it's time for us to have some fun and help each other.

Nick, I can't change it, but I can ask Hubba (Jeff) too...  :)

I don't care about the prize. What I do care about the fun, well if you call banging your head against a wall FUN :)

Okay. Here's my problem I have the puzzle done except for 10 and 13 down. Does anyone want to share clue?

I will trade a clue for 10 or 13 down for a clue on something you don't have. Any takers?   :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

I'm stumped..   when you think a certain one down is correct, then the across doesn't work out..

yikes!!! I'll keep trying though....

are we allowed to trade clues here publically?  cause you know I dont normally break the rules.. (yeah right!)

Posted by Nick M -Realtor®-Appraiser in West Palm- South Florida Real Estate Appraiser (Certified Residential Appraiser- West Palm Beach Real Estate) over 3 years ago

LOL... here are some clues...

Nick, 7 across, search profiles and "st. paul" and see if that helps you

TLW, LOL, banging head against wall... 

10 down clue: maybe if I'm more specific, Orem, Utah, in Utah County

13 down: seriously, how many people in Detroit come to mind? 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Nick....

Get back in here and do some trading with me :) I'm going to sit right here and keep pressing the F5 key until you show up. LOL....... Do people really do that? LOL.....

There are no rules on Jeff Turner's Blog. I've hijacked it. This is no longer

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

TLW... you, of all people, should be able to do this puzzle!!! Now, remove head from wall and concentrate, let out a big 'ole ROAR (one of the answers) and go zen on it!

Jay and John, glad you enjoyed it. Next week I'm going to do a more well thought out educational version. This was just a whim. :)

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Is someone planning on paying me for all that work?

Yah. I know I'm talking to myself. Sure beats the WALL....    LOL....

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

Oh! There you are. I did do it. I'm having a DUH day remember? LOL... 

My zen doesn't work very well when I am having a DUH. :) ROAR! My ROAR works well though  :)  

It could be worse. I could be the ROARLESS Lovely Wife   LOL....

Ann....

Read all the comments. Most of the clues in this comment thread lead you to the answers :)

Nick....

I have a blister on my "pointing" finger because of you.   LOL....

Hubba....

Okay. I admit it. I enjoyed the challenge. Do you have a band aid? My head is bleeding :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
OK, the next one I do will have more hint options for you! Clearly I misjudged. It seemed easy to me, but then again, I made it up. :)

I love  crosswords.  I pictured myself in a side-career writing them but turns out its pretty hard, especially the symmetrical ones.  You give me hope not to give up!

I was laughing so hard when reading this that Rick came to check on me!  You guys are the best.  What a great idea JEFF - you do it everytime!  Did you guys see what Craid did to Rick?

Hubba....

"It seemed easy to me, but then again, I made it up".....

That was the problem. You're a flippin genius :)

I mean really "time to draft"... If I didn't know you so well I would have been seriously stuck on that one :)

I like the word searches better. I'm not very good at crossword puzzles. I don't want to think. I want to PLAY :)

If I wanted to think I would go ahead and write a new post. But, that requires waaay too much thought. LOL..... 

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

ARDELL!!!! I'm going to throw up a word search today... all the answers are right there in front of you with a word search.

TLW, your word search will be up in moments. 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Jeff - yesss he does!  LOL

I'm still missing a couple here.  The F5 key did not work for me NICK and TLW - are you done TLW?

Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago

Ines....

Yes. I did it last night :) Watch out for that F5 button...It will give you a blister on your fingertip. Wink. Wink.

Hubba...

If you're not going to post it here give me my link :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
OK, ALL! Here is the Word Search... and yes, there was a method to this madness!
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

I can't believe Jeff already did the other puzzle, I'm stuck on number 5 - "spelled with an X" - I thought of Jeff Corbett - mr. Xman himself - but can't figure it out.....any hints?  PLEASE PLEASE!

Duhhh! It was X

Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago

Hubba...

I had to come share this with you. Look what someone did to my Hubba! Bubba!

 

 

 

 

 

I like it. Looks like I will in fact be shaving his head. This is working for me :)

I have a......    (Ahhhh...........I needed that for this)  LOL....

TLW...ROAR with a Purr ....

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

OMG!!!  That is too much!!  you see what you are causing here Jeff??  I'm digging Bryant like that too TLW - I think the head shaving is very doable!

Poor Rick and Bryant better start running!

Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago

Ines...

Look at what BB did :)    RotFlat

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
I can't believe he posted that!  BB has the best sense of humor - now all you have to do is slip something in his drink so he has a nice DEEP sleep, and he'll wake up feeling light headed.....if you know what I mean.
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
LOL... I'm just staring at the screen shaking my head with a confused grin on my face. This post is now truly, officially, formally hijacked. Holy Kumquat.
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Ines...I think 'slippin him a mickey' may be a better idea. LOL... No side effects at all :) Don't ask me how I know that. SVW.

Hubba...I already told you to kiss this post goodbye. It's not your post anymore. Once again Ines have taken it from you. LOL...

What kind of smart a*s remark can I possibly come up for a freaking plum :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago
Oh sure...blame it on me....go ahead!  I hijacked this post, but sending it to Venezuela this time instead of Cuba - we can dance Merengue there!
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
I'm not sure which is more disturbing, BB's baldness or that Merengue dance.
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
Oh come on Jeff - Merengue is fun!  Rick and I have a blast doing the merengue.  I'm sure you and Rocky would enjoy it.
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
The only kind of Merengue I like is on a lemon creme pie!  :)
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago
When you come to Miami w/ Rocky, I volunteer to babysit while you guys go to South Beach to merengue....and I don't mean the lemon crem pie, either.
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago

Hubba...

I came over here to try out my glasses. Ahhhh....I can see the puzzle now :)

And geez that's some mouth TLW has on her. ROAR! :)

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 3 years ago

Ines, you know we got 6 of 'em right?  :)

TLW [SVW]... you like my new intro when I'm talking to you? 

Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

Jeff - I figure I have 3 of my own (actually 4 if I count Rick) - what's 6 more?  I can speak to them in Spanish and they'll look at me like I am CRAZY!  BTW - If Rocky's laundry reflects just a tiny little bit of your kids' behavior........it should be a piece of cake.

Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
Ines, ok. So the truth comes out. We hired Craig Schiller to stage the laundry room.
Posted by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows) over 3 years ago

{SVW} Hubba...

Of course I do. You've branded your remarks to me :)

I'm pretty big on branding. ROAR....SVW...

TLW...ROAR!

Would you stop diverting me, please. I have listings to put in the MLS and my fingers want to play with crossword puzzles. Where are the answers? I got a bunch but not all.

And now I can't even tell BB and Jeff apart. OK I better get back to real estate. Thanks for the diversion.

Oh No!  Are you telling me your kids are not well behaved?  The laundry room was staged!!  Maybe he can help you stage the kids - he already staged Bryant.

Even if they are not behaved (which I doubt highly) - I have a fire extinguisher - plenty of band-aids - and lots of candy.  Everything necessary to watch kids.

Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
