frogface

can anyone help with the last su 5/12 please, my last

7:50 am

frogface

Oh, it's ok, got it.

7:51 am

hokie carla

Well, thought ungained for sure would be a word. Back to the drawing board.

7:52 am

penquis

that would be un 6....it's another word... ;oD

7:52 am

hokie carla

Found it!

7:53 am

hokie carla

Of course it didn’t take at first because my iPad put a space after

7:53 am

hokie carla

Pen!

7:53 am

penquis

carla!

7:54 am

MollyL

Oh sure, blame it on your Ipad

7:54 am

hokie carla

You try playing on one

7:54 am

penquis

i can relate...

7:55 am

MollyL

You will never see me working on a Macintosh product. I had to use them for work once and hated them.

7:56 am

penquis

never want a mac laptop but love my ipad...

7:57 am

penquis

but i don't like playing babble on my ipad...

7:58 am

MollyL

The smaller the device, the harder it is for me to play. I don't know how people play on their phones.

7:59 am

penquis

me either...i only play sudoku on my phone when i am in a waiting room....

7:59 am

hokie carla

I love my ipad but only for things that don’t require typing

8:00 am

penquis

i have a keyboard case....but i still don't like playing on the ipad...

8:00 am

hokie carla

Phantom intrude

8:01 am

hokie carla

I have had bluetooth keyboards in the past for mine but don’t currently

8:01 am

penquis

i got mine maianly because i like the case...lets me rotate 360 degrees, so I can angle it the way I want....

8:02 am

MollyL

What purpose does that serve?

8:03 am

hokie carla

Phantom indenture

8:03 am

penquis

when you spend a lot of time on an ipad, you want it to be angled right when it sits in your lap or on a table...

8:04 am

penquis

so it serves three purposes....protecting the ipad, ease of use, and keyboard....i do use the keyboard for email or texting...

8:13 am

hokie carla

Phantom hidden

8:14 am

penquis

it's hiding pretty well....not....

8:16 am

rururocks

I couldn't own an ipad.. I'd lose it in less than a week

8:16 am

penquis

harder to lose than a phone... ;o)

8:19 am

hokie carla

Not with Find My

8:20 am

penquis

does that work if the phone is mlles away?

8:21 am

bichon

I've lost my Ipad twice

8:22 am

penquis

i never have....can't see how i would lose it unless i took it on a trip....

8:23 am

hokie carla

Only if it’s transmitting a signal. I lose my AirPods all the time and try to find them but they aren’t sending a signal so I can’t find them.

8:24 am

rururocks

I have lost my phone several times

8:24 am

rururocks

It is so irritating

8:24 am

penquis

i bet...

8:25 am

BzznBea

Only time I have lost my phone is when the neighbor kids stole it. Twice!

8:25 am

penquis

oh my!

8:26 am

rururocks

wow.. your neighborhood has some real winners bea

8:26 am

hokie carla

Oh dear, bea!

8:29 am

rururocks

well the 8's are easy to find today

8:33 am

rururocks

well I thought at first this was going to be a snarky grid but it's fairly easy

8:34 am

rururocks

8:34 am

hokie carla

Mmhhhumm

8:36 am

penquis

i am stalled at 6...

8:40 am

hokie carla

8:41 am

rururocks

8:50 am

BzznBea

He's two. Lived most of his life in a crate.

8:51 am

BzznBea

He is a clumsy, goofy boxer boy. Only has one speed...GO!

8:51 am

hokie carla

8:51 am

rururocks
