I can't explain this but I just have to share my joy and happiness with the world I don't know how Dr Ihunde helped me in bringing back my husband. I have been frustrated for the past 6 years with my 3 kids in a marriage of 19 years after my husband had left me for no reason, all i did every day was to cry. One faithful day a friend of mine came visiting and I told her about the situation i have been for years now, she then told me about a very powerful man called Dr Ihunde Spell Temple. that he is a very powerful man, at first I never wanted to believe her because I have spent a lot going to different places but she convinced me, so I had no choice because I really need my husband back. So we contacted Dr Ihunde who told me all I needed to do and i give him a trial. But the greatest joy in me today is that Dr Ihunde was able to bring my husband back to me after years of not even taken my calls. and now we are living happily as never before. Thanks to Dr Ihunde. If you have problems of any kind I will advise you to contact him via his email: (ihundespelltemple@gmail.com) or call him +2349055637784.

And Blue Jays win, Blue Jays win! Also, congrats to Team USA eliminating Germany last night here in Montreal in the Soccer Women's World Cup semi-final - good luck tonight to my native England vs Japan in Edmonton! Would love to see a USA-England final on Sunday in Vancouver.<br /><br />Now, as for the puzzle, had I but known what a KATYDID was or BUSHWAS were, this would have been a lot easier. As it was, found it a pleasant, mid-week, holiday diversion. Little Havana clue very appropriate on the day (in syndiland) that the USA and Cuba announced the normalizing of relations after 50+ years.<br /><br />I QUITs.<br />Waxy in Montrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395751487137805245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-54628470397798320322015-07-01T14:43:03.923-04:002015-07-01T14:43:03.923-04:00Glad someone figured out the "theme", t...Glad someone figured out the "theme", to me it was just some word with a negative something attached.

I was sure @Rex would light into this mess and am a bit disappointed that he didn't. Over-the-top umbrage, when it is deserved, is something I look forward to on this site. I do agree that the thought was nice, but the execution is pathetic.<br /><br />For some reason, I was delivered a Washington Post rather then my NYT on Sunday. I am a former subscriber and so have done their puzzles before, but I had forgotten just how different they are. It took me a while to get into the puzzle as I readapted to the style - and I can't count how many times I thought 'oh, that will get savaged on Rex's Blog', only to remember that no, it wouldn't. If anyone is wondering, NYT is better overall, but also tends to have higher highs and lower lows. kitshefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-49286728246728403822015-05-27T18:39:18.028-04:002015-05-27T18:39:18.028-04:00Just got home and read your post, @Abigail.

I know he will be greatly missed here and I join the others in expressing my deep sympathy to you on your loss. It is thoughtful of you to take the time to let us know. Perhaps, at some point in the weeks or months ahead, you will want to tell us all a little more about him.
