Okay, so it’s pretty humble. Perhaps the families that lived here over the years spent their time in the backyard. If that were the case, the owner could say he often passed the time doing this. Doing what?

Lori (Monday 9:37), sorry I couldn’t help more on Monday’s abasketcase one, I did try a clue though, I capitalized the first letter of Basket, but - someone - in moderation switched my B to a b, so it got lost in the sentence! Sneaky, Jeff, sneaky. I tried a very subtle hint because my clue on the mothernature one got lost in the black hole of moderation and didn’t get released until after 11 pm. Jeff doesn’t like to release clues too early in the day.
Jack, I have to agree with everyone who said you rock yesterday - thanks a million! And thanks to whoever started the Amber code! Who was that anyway?

I’m stumped on this one.
Is it a name of a song or an expression?
So any one giving clues please let us know?
No clue here
May 14th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I don’t know if it was intentional or not but the house looks sort of pink so I checked the lyrics for Pink Houses from John Cougar Mellencamp. Later, since this is a real dream home, I checked Paradise City by GNR…..Much to my surprize, there was nothing there in either song.
It’s gonna be a long day.
May 14th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Thanks BarbH, I appreciate your help.
Todays puzzle is hard.
Gunky, Is it a expression or the name of a song?
Lee Ann, I saw your post & Vinces on Samatha’s web site.
No clue here.

Too bad you couldn’t get points for creativity. There’d be a lot more points handed out.
Tried looking at the lyrics to the Pearl Jam song “Porch”. No appropriate 5 letter word phrases in this song.

Lets all try and think like Jeff does.
Often the title has nothing to do with the answer.
Only certain clues get out of moderation.
Keep thinking music people!
If you wait for Jeffs clue you can get more confused.
Never give up!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Gunky…help us out!!
May 14th, 2008 at 10:26 am
come on…we need an update!!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Jeff! How do you come up with these? I got it on my second try! I never give up as Long as I Can See the Light. What would be the flip side to that? No Points?
May 14th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Hey! That’s my house!
I would say I would “Listen to JackFM All Weekend”
May 14th, 2008 at 10:53 am
hey gunky should we think music????
May 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I got it on the second try - cuz I had the first word spelled wrong.

Tried variations of “passing time drinking red wine” and “letting nature take its course”; no luck so far.
May 14th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Boy was this easy today.
A little though goes a long way.
Can you get it?
Keep trying and it will come to you.
Don’t give up!
Once you think music it will come to you.
Often it will come when you least expect it.
Remember, five words, no spaces.

Please let me know, okay?
Your friend,

Gunky,
An easy one you say? You’re lucky to have gotten it so quickly!! How about throwing a clue my way please?
Thanks,

Please delete post by Sue P. and replace by this one. Sue P is my wife’s login in and somehow got picked up by the computer. Thanks. I owe you one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April;
Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday. I did read the particular post you were refering to. In fact it was not the first like it. This is exactly what I was writing about when I suggested that WE decide what we tune into in our lives. I, personally, am busy either earning a living or improving and POSITIVELY influencing the quality of my life and those around me. I waste absolutely NO time whatsoever with petty squables. Life is way too short for that. I do however call a spade a spade and when I see people I care about get lambasted, as you did that one time, I will speak my mind. After that, I move on. As far as I am concerned this issue has long been put to rest. With the right attitude fences seldome need mending….
Peace….♥

Hi Diana,
I’d like to talk to you about what happened in regards to your husbands accident’s.
If you wouldn’t mind, would you send Jeff Chalmers your e-mail address and I’ll ask him to send it to me so we can leave it of of the blog?
Please let me know, okay, as I could really you some insight right now?
Thanks,
April
May 14th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
How much “later” are you going to wait to give us a clue, Jeff?
Gunky - since it was so easy for you perhaps you wouldn’t mind helping the rest of us get it by leaving a clue.
May 14th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Hi RobL,

May 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I can’t believe it - I was standing at my back door, looking out into the garden and the answer came to me. I never get these on the first try. Thanks Jeff for setting me straight on this one.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Looks like this house might be down on the corner. Question is .. which corner?
I like the way A Crostic thinks. He has some very good ideas. Have a look everyone.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Good luck April.
My 23 year old daughter smashed up my car last August. The car was written off in the accident. She was attempting a u turn on a main street. Anyhow she is fine. She got charged with careless driving with 6 dermit points. I had to hire a parallegal. My wife went to first attendence with the Prosequitur.
What a waste of time. He did not have the Evidence and said that it would have to go to trial because of the careless driving charge. Atleast the insurance company will forgive the first accident. We have to phone the parallegal about 15 days before the court case.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Hi april. Any clues to Mr. Jeff Chalmers riddle today. I wonder if his mother
can figure it out. Jeff, what did you buy your mother for mother’s day. I hope it was a nice trip at your expense. I find these riddles to hard. Could you make it easier please. LOL Mr. Chamlers.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:18 pm

May 14th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Thanks AC - do you know Jack??? Another one that slipped past the mighty one. To my fellow JACKsters - be careful how you put in your answer - don’t forget to punctuate.

May 14th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Gotta admit. The red bricks are rather “groovy.”
Okay. See ya, bye….I’m outa here.
May 14th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
The bricks are very groovy, aren’t they, thedoctorizin? I don’t know what it has to do with the answer though. If that was a clue, that was very vague. I liked CathyB’s clue much better! Hope no one is in a “fog” by that clue though.
May 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
By the way, don’t forget the apostrophe.
May 14th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Ok for this puzzle you have to spell this just right!
May 14th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
yippeeeee; way 2 go, CathyB

Very sneaky Chalmers, I needed Louie’s help because I thought I had it for sure and it wasn’t working. Now I can go dancing on the lawn.

May 14th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Thank you Tiberius!! After Googling your hint, I found the answer. (I did try that answer before but without the apostrophe and didn’t think of typing the answer in again with the apostrophe.)
May 14th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
You need to put the apostrophe in the right place. Check how it is written somewhere. As for the group here are their initials

May 14th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
i finally pieced A Crostic’s and CathyB’s and Louie’s coments…thanks tons you guys!
i always seem to be on the ‘taking’ side of the clues rather than the ‘giving’ side…that’s what I get for being a late night blogger!
woo hoo hoo!
I have been sitting watching the rain - thru the patio door - hope it is a nice weekend!
May 14th, 2008 at 8:08 pm

Thanks for saving the day CathyB! I forgot about the stinkin’ apostrophe at first too!
May 14th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Hey Guys and Gals,
Tried to get some clues through @ 3:27, 3:29 & 3:31, but at 8:27p.m. they are still in moderation hell. By the looks of things, others have gotten clues past the mighty one. Funny how some get posted and some don’t. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Have a good evening everyone. Till tomorrow.
TTFN

Hi April,
I had a cat scan and it WAS kidney stones. OUCHY!!! Thanks for your concern. April, you really are a very kind and caring person. It is hard to find genuine gems as yourself. I hope everything turns out for you with the insurance people. Whatever you do, don’t back down with those guys. That is what they prey on. You pay them forever, and then they act like they don’t know you.
As for today’s blog, I can’t believe I had the answer, right after I checked out some other songs by Humble Pie. BUT I put the answer in without the apostrope! I even thought about the apostrope, but didn’t think Jeff would do one like that in case it made it way too hard. Who’d a thunk it eh?
Anyway, I am off to watch the hockey game with my son right now, so I will talk to you later.
Your friend

So where are the clues. I see Louie’s clue, but it does not seem to help.
Terri music related to what?
Bill how about a clue?
Tiberius, stuck on this one?
CathyB, I see your clue, can not relate to the puzzle.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
All I can think of is the group Credance Clearwater Revival.
One of their songs.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:21 pm

Peace.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
thanks to the clues by A Crostic, CathyB, and Terry
May 14th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Very clever of ACrostic and CathyB and Terry to let their clues slip by Jeff
May 14th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
OOOOH! OOOOH! OOOOH!
thanks for the help guys… I finally got it.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:13 am

May 15th, 2008 at 12:45 am
Man oh man! - I too had it first thing this morning…..had the apostrophe in the wrong place…..go figure!
May 15th, 2008 at 1:44 am
For those that still haven’t gotten it, think CCR! Do do do you know the answer now?
May 15th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Wow, 2 Lee Ann’s here? The post @ 9:40 something wasn’t me…

May 15th, 2008 at 7:34 am
Yeah - I thought it was pretty funny when I saw your name on the blogs quite some time ago - I think I have only met one other Lee Ann (besides you) with the same spelling…. I’m from Mississauga… Sorry - I didn’t mean to confuse anyone… lol… have a great day!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I don’t post very often…. (I think this one was the first one that ever passed the moderator)….
Maybe I will specify Lee Ann L. or 2 in future…. take care, LL
May 15th, 2008 at 9:47 am
(Mississauga) Lee Ann, no problem, fantastic name darling! I see our parents were just as creative!
(Brampton) Lee Ann
May 15th, 2008 at 10:29 am
So are you ladies now going to sign in as “Lee Ann in Brampton” and “Lee Ann in Mississauga” or use last initials or keep us confused? LOL!
May 15th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
no… the original Lee Ann posts a lot, so I’ll just make sure that I use Lee Ann L. (for the few posts that I do…)
Have a great long week-end!!!
Cheers!
Lee Ann “L”
