Batoning Down the Hatches!
Well, our Tofurky was fantastic, the girls and my DH loved it, so worth a try for anyone who wants to try a vegetarian feast. It was neat to have a "traditional" holiday feast with all the trimmings.
The forecast is predicting some wicked winds here in the desert. We KNOW how to do wicked winds, and with all the dirt we have it can be a nasty thing. They say we should have sustained winds around 40 mph with gusts up to 70+mph, YIKES! The last time we had these winds come through we lost our roof and our entire wooden fence fell down. It was wild with the big kennel runs we have almost going over the 6 foot fences, everything was flying. Hopefully the forecast will be wrong or at least we will weather the whole thing better this time.
Knowing the winds were coming-it was getting pretty windy this afternoon-I set to work trying to clean everything outside up. I asked the girls to help, and anyone who has teenagers will be able to imagine how that went. Usually the girls are pretty good helping if I ask but boy today I got some rolling eyes and they clearly thought I was a bit nuts when I said the light plastic chairs should be brought up into the garage, after all they put two light weight chairs on top of each other, so what the heck-after all how much force could a wind pack, right?
I am in a no win situation, if there are no winds, then the girls will forever think I am a little short in the logic department, and if the winds do come like they are predicted I will be able to say I told you so, but those type of winds always bring damage to at least some of the people in our area.
One thing that will be safe no matter how strong the winds are is my new table. I posted a picture of it on facebook when I completed it last week, but figured I would show it off in the blog too. This table started its first life as a table my friends husband built for her, then she gave it to me, I resurfaced it, and resurfaced it, changed the legs and had it as a baby pause table to use with the puppies or when I wanted to have one of the dogs drive to something-they could go to that table if I wanted to use two tables. I wanted to do some teeter training with the two table method and so I needed another higher table so I decided to give the table yet another life. I LOVE using the table as a huge target for exercises and we do LOTS of table games, so you can never have too many tables in your back yard.
I think I am basically a pretty inventive builder. YEAH, that's what we will call it. Sometimes with training or building something it is just too easy to do something the tried and true way, so I will set out on a search on the 'net to see if I can find a better way to go about things. LOL, sometimes, well.....USUALLY that can get me into some trouble and this project was no exception.
The reason this table will be very safe even if we have hurricane force winds is that it probably weighs a ton. Hey, me and ten of my heaviest friends could jump on it, it is sturdy as they come but with each new life I just added on another layer of wood onto the top. It doesn't take many layers before a table is pretty heavy-IT ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE!. If worse comes to worse tomorrow with the winds we will all be heading to hide under the table so at least I know we will be safe.
The painting was done with a new method I read about on the net where people were suggesting using raw sugar and rock salt for the traction in the paint instead of using a finish with sand. Sounded like a great idea after all then if I needed to refinish it I could sand it down which does not work if you use a sanded surface. Well, it looked fantastic, until it would not dry for days and days and there was an oily slick surface. Hummmmm, so I sopped up the oily stuff and put another coat on, and added some rice. Well, at that point we could have ate the table, we almost had rice pudding. I am not sure if there was a chemical reaction with the paint and food....or if the paint was reacting to when I watered it down. It was a new type of paint.
I finally scraped everything off and did a traditional finish. After probably spending twice as much on this table and taking way more then twice the time it should have we have a sturdy, wonderful table. SEE,it all turns out in the end, LOL. The table is supposedly adjustable and there are all the heights on it from 8 inches to 24 inches, but in reality,....it is PVC and PVC doesn't come apart that well once you really pound it together so I have left over pieces I will make a baby table with and I think I will just leave the table at 20 inches.
If anyone needs to make a table, and you use the tried and true methods and don't do a lot of experimenting,.....this table was really easy, and I am really impressed with how stable it is.

PERFECT ROUND
Aryiel's the next bachelor on The Dealing Game.
Questions:
1. If I'm lucky enough to win your prize, would I use it indoors, outdoors or both?
2. If I overheard you talking about your prize w/ someone else, what one word would I hear to describe your prize?
She chooses to date Jonathan...Wayne's Curtain #3 (who was acting as a man named Guillermo from Spain) had a duct tape sailboat, meaning she actually wins a pair of designer shoes every month for a year worth $6,103- PERFECT DEAL #2!
Wayne mistakenly leaves his Curtain #3 nametag on his suit, but he gives Lisa & Steven (who should be having a new baby any time soon; Steven's dressed as a crybaby) a chance to win some prizes if they can identify whether each of these CBS shows debuted in the 2000s or not.
Red Box ("How I Met Your Mother"): YES (2005)- Cable service for a year ($628)

Yellow Box ("CSI: Miami"): YES (2002)- DELL laptop ($2,132)
THE BIG RISK (Silver Envelope): NO- Trip to Chicago
Having a chance at the $5K Cash Pinatas are Madeline, Jeffrey (dressed as part of Highway 405) & Erryl (who's wearing lottery tickets).
#1 (Erryl)(Small Box w/ Tiffany): NO- Citrus eye drops (Wins $5K)
#2 (Madeline)(Curtain #1): YES- Game room ($6,650)
#3 (Jeffrey)(Curtain #3): NEITHER (leaves w/ $1.5K)- FIAT 500 HB MT
Erryl's pinata was the only one w/ the money inside, of course & she took the longest time to break open hers.
Debbi, dressed as Curtain #1 w/ a vacation inside, sides w/ a bracelet that has an unknown value plus three times its value in cash.
Bracelet- $100 ($400 total)
Big Box- Kitchen trio ($3,147)
Curtain #2- Trip to Belize
Because of Debbi, Madeline advances to go for the Big Deal of the Day...
THE BIG DEAL: ...but she doesn't win it w/ Door #2; she ultimately takes home an $8,847 living room set. But if she had agreed w/ me on #1, she would've also won the following for a grand total of $31,382 in merchandise:
#3: Bang & Olufsen stereo system ($3,560)
#1: Ford Ranger ($18,975)

Wonoh solves THE ITALIAN ALPS. Now entering the studio are tonight's players:
Wonoh Massaquoi (L.A.; originally from Texas)- An educational specialist for the L.A. County Office of Education who also does some freelance writing
Phil Vasapolli (Vegas; originally from Guam)- A customer service agent for a telecommunications company
Kelly Bovard (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)- An educational trainer for a teachers' software program
We're still going to be specific on this $2K T-U, as we now need the Proper Name of an actor/actress:

Kelly misses a T-U for the second time in a row, this time w/ an incorrect response of JOHNNY CASH, which means Wonoh steals JOHNNY DEPP for the extra cash & control.
The UnitedHealthcare Jackpot Round topic this night's Living Things & this is available for the first two main rounds of tonight's match, a trip to The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain worth $5,835. Wonoh will first call two T's for $1K & the blue 1/2 KIA, buy the A at the start, Free Play an O & call a $500 F for the other 1/2 KIA (BTW, she jumped the gun on picking it up before she called that consonant), then coming her way are a $500 T while on Jackpot (which stands at $7K now), two I's, a $400 R, a couple of E's & three P's in the important last word for another 900 buckeroos...

...& she catches A LITTER OF PUPPIES for $17,550 in cash & Soul in just this round, bringing her total winnings to $20,550!
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,700
(Note: Until last night's Mystery Round during these tapings, the 1/2 Car icons were mistakenly shown on the contestant podiums instead of the current 1/2 KIA ones.)
Phil begins a Mystery/Before & After Round w/ four T's for the trip, two H's for $1,600, four E's, & an A before a G's called for while on the Mystery Wedge in between FP & Lose a Turn. Even though he's well behind Wonoh, he takes the grand for it (but the $10K was on the back) before calling two S's for $1,200 more, buying five I's & capturing the Wild Card w/ a C. Following the remaining vowel of O, he takes a $2,700 trio of R's, a $900 P, a $300 M & we currently see...

...there will never be such as a thing as "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" TO REMAIN SILENT, but for real, he's won a total of $12,535 in cash & skiing.
PERFECT ROUND #2
Kelly's round could be the one w/ that Prize Puzzle in it; the category of this particular puzzle's Food & Drink. On her letter menu first are a $1K pair of S's, a couple T's for the Bed and Breakfast.com gift tag, an E, three A's & twin L's for another 18 bills, but she then runs into the LaT. Second, Wonoh Bankrupts out next to the top dollar wedge, then Phil calls trip R's for $900, makes the purchase of two I's but then LaTs out as well. Afterwards, Kelly Bankrupts the same way Wonoh did to lose $3,300 in cash & gift certificate & Wonoh tries this board out for size...

NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND
"PUBLIC" KNOWLEDGE
THIS LANDFILL IS MY LANDFILL (each correct response's a state)
GREAT COMEBACKS (video clues read by Dan Patrick)
Jan goes Daily Double Hunting after the first two "Public" clues in the center of This Landfill Is My Landfill...it hasn't been found yet, but Tim's leading Kiran $4,800-$3,200; Jan's got four Benjamins in the meantime. Right after the first commercials & the interviews, Kiran picks it off from the last Corruption Junction & goes for broke on this answer:
Scandals during this President's tenure included the whiskey ring, the Indian ring & the credit mobilier crisis.
"Who is Andrew Jackson?"...NO. We were looking for Ulysses S. Grant. He does make it back to second place, however, w/ $3,800; every guy's separated by $2K, which means Tim has $5,800 & Jan will begin Double Jeopardy! w/ $1,800.

And we have our second True DD of the night, so to take Tim to $15,600 & the lead, here's his clue:
Meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes popularized this five-letter term for the place where warm & cold air masses meet.
"What is front?"...IS RIGHT for the doubler & first! And he also steals the other one from the $1,200 Egyptian Mythology spot. This time, he's gambling $4,200.

Karen's Jonathan Sketch Deal (she's dressed as a Hawaiian graduate)(Curtain #3): NO ($1.5K)- 1/2 red hatchback on the turntable
PERFECT ROUND
Aryiel's the next bachelor on The Dealing Game.
Questions:
1. If I'm lucky enough to win your prize, would I use it indoors, outdoors or both?
2. If I overheard you talking about your prize w/ someone else, what one word would I hear to describe your prize?
She chooses to date Jonathan...Wayne's Curtain #3 (who was acting as a man named Guillermo from Spain) had a duct tape sailboat, meaning she actually wins a pair of designer shoes every month for a year worth $6,103- PERFECT DEAL #2!
Wayne mistakenly leaves his Curtain #3 nametag on his suit, but he gives Lisa & Steven (who should be having a new baby any time soon; Steven's dressed as a crybaby) a chance to win some prizes if they can identify whether each of these CBS shows debuted in the 2000s or not.
Red Box ("How I Met Your Mother"): YES (2005)- Cable service for a year ($628)
Blue Box ("King of Queens"): NO (1998)- TagHeuer watch ($950)
Yellow Box ("CSI: Miami"): YES (2002)- DELL laptop ($2,132)
THE BIG RISK (Silver Envelope): NO- Trip to Chicago
Having a chance at the $5K Cash Pinatas are Madeline, Jeffrey (dressed as part of Highway 405) & Erryl (who's wearing lottery tickets).
#1 (Erryl)(Small Box w/ Tiffany): NO- Citrus eye drops (Wins $5K)
#2 (Madeline)(Curtain #1): YES- Game room ($6,650)
#3 (Jeffrey)(Curtain #3): NEITHER (leaves w/ $1.5K)- FIAT 500 HB MT
Erryl's pinata was the only one w/ the money inside, of course & she took the longest time to break open hers.
Debbi, dressed as Curtain #1 w/ a vacation inside, sides w/ a bracelet that has an unknown value plus three times its value in cash.
Bracelet- $100 ($400 total)
Big Box- Kitchen trio ($3,147)
Curtain #2- Trip to Belize
Because of Debbi, Madeline advances to go for the Big Deal of the Day...
THE BIG DEAL: ...but she doesn't win it w/ Door #2; she ultimately takes home an $8,847 living room set. But if she had agreed w/ me on #1, she would've also won the following for a grand total of $31,382 in merchandise:
#3: Bang & Olufsen stereo system ($3,560)
#1: Ford Ranger ($18,975)
WoF: A cold locale's about to be revealed on the puzzleboard, because the $1K Toss-Up category's On the Map:

Wonoh solves THE ITALIAN ALPS. Now entering the studio are tonight's players:
Wonoh Massaquoi (L.A.; originally from Texas)- An educational specialist for the L.A. County Office of Education who also does some freelance writing
Phil Vasapolli (Vegas; originally from Guam)- A customer service agent for a telecommunications company
Kelly Bovard (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)- An educational trainer for a teachers' software program
We're still going to be specific on this $2K T-U, as we now need the Proper Name of an actor/actress:
J O H _ _ Y
_ _ _ _
Kelly misses a T-U for the second time in a row, this time w/ an incorrect response of JOHNNY CASH, which means Wonoh steals JOHNNY DEPP for the extra cash & control.
The UnitedHealthcare Jackpot Round topic this night's Living Things & this is available for the first two main rounds of tonight's match, a trip to The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain worth $5,835. Wonoh will first call two T's for $1K & the blue 1/2 KIA, buy the A at the start, Free Play an O & call a $500 F for the other 1/2 KIA (BTW, she jumped the gun on picking it up before she called that consonant), then coming her way are a $500 T while on Jackpot (which stands at $7K now), two I's, a $400 R, a couple of E's & three P's in the important last word for another 900 buckeroos...
A / L I T T E R / O F
P _ P P I E _
...& she catches A LITTER OF PUPPIES for $17,550 in cash & Soul in just this round, bringing her total winnings to $20,550!
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,700
(Note: Until last night's Mystery Round during these tapings, the 1/2 Car icons were mistakenly shown on the contestant podiums instead of the current 1/2 KIA ones.)
Phil begins a Mystery/Before & After Round w/ four T's for the trip, two H's for $1,600, four E's, & an A before a G's called for while on the Mystery Wedge in between FP & Lose a Turn. Even though he's well behind Wonoh, he takes the grand for it (but the $10K was on the back) before calling two S's for $1,200 more, buying five I's & capturing the Wild Card w/ a C. Following the remaining vowel of O, he takes a $2,700 trio of R's, a $900 P, a $300 M & we currently see...
T H E / P R I C E / I S
R I G H T
T O / R E M A I _
S I _ E _ T
...there will never be such as a thing as "THE PRICE IS RIGHT" TO REMAIN SILENT, but for real, he's won a total of $12,535 in cash & skiing.
PERFECT ROUND #2
Kelly's round could be the one w/ that Prize Puzzle in it; the category of this particular puzzle's Food & Drink. On her letter menu first are a $1K pair of S's, a couple T's for the Bed and Breakfast.com gift tag, an E, three A's & twin L's for another 18 bills, but she then runs into the LaT. Second, Wonoh Bankrupts out next to the top dollar wedge, then Phil calls trip R's for $900, makes the purchase of two I's but then LaTs out as well. Afterwards, Kelly Bankrupts the same way Wonoh did to lose $3,300 in cash & gift certificate & Wonoh tries this board out for size...

It's time for the One-Roll Dice Deal.
Monique's $200 Round (SB)(Jonathan): NO- Slightly-used beauty supplies
ROLL: 2/4 = $1,200
Sarah's $300 Round (Curtain #3): YES- Giant refrigerator magnet
Jason's $400 Round (BB): NO- Six-night trip to the Bethells Beach Cottages near Auckland, NZ ($7,827)

After Sara does a robot dance upon Cat Gray's request, Natalie (dressed as The Statue of Liberty) plays Think Big for not four, but five thousand bucks. This morning's items:
Number of Academy Award nominations received by the film "Avatar"
Point value of the J tile in the "Words With Friends" mobile device game ("Scrabble Showdown" staff assistance not allowed)
Number of tablespoons in 3/8 cup
She's going w/ the Scrabble statement, which doesn't sound correct to me...even though she still turns down a home office that includes a laptop w/ a year's worth of Internet service & three cordless telephones, making it a sure prize package worth $2,560 (Curtain #2).
OSCAR nominations: NINE
Scrabble J: 10
Tablespoons: SIX- PERFECT DEAL #2!
Amanda (dressed as a pirate girl) is about to take on the Doubler/Tripler Envelopes Deal w/ a base value of $500.
Round 1- DOUBLE
She then listens to her pirate husband on Curtain #1.
CHOSEN R2 ENVELOPE CONTENTS- ZONK
CURTAIN #1- Bedroom ($5,175)
PERFECT DEAL #3
THE BIG DEAL: Salvador could win the silver 2012 Ford Mustang that matches his outfit as part of a $23,495 Big Deal of the Day. After locking in Door #2, #1 has the Kawasaki jet ski...while #3 has the $2,897 BBQ/patio heater package, so he needs to march over to that Mustang! The first time it was won, it included the five years of oil changes, but his bonuses are a Philips portable DVD player, a MOTOROLA in-car phone speaker system & a GPS device!
Total it all up before the really fast deals: $69,191!
Stephen (dressed as a Martial Arts person of some kind) misses out on the $500 wad when he fails to come up w/ a toothbrush for Jonathan. Elsewhere in the Quickie Deals, Dina (dressed as a fried egg) shows Tiffany a deviled egg for a Benjamin, Eric (dressed as a tiger) manages to balance a blue yearbook while walking a short distance in the middle row of the audience from Jonathan at the start to Wayne at the end for his own $100 bill & both a firefighter & Angel both miss out on $200 when the firefighter didn't quite catch Dina's deviled egg from the right end of the audience to the other.
TPiR: This is one of the first episodes Drew taped after injuring his clavicle. While he's nursing his injury on stage, George calls on Kimberly Carew, Jacob R. Krause (not sure if he's related to Aaron), Crystal A. Kaaaufmann & Kristine Jolley & we show off the first IUFB of the day, a 40" SONY wi-fi HDTV (Amber in the clam- "Don't Hold Your Breath" by Nicole Scherzinger). Starting today, when I do my own "Price" recaps, not all of the titles for the designated prize cues will be correct.
Kimberly: $680/Jacob: $727/Crystal: $1K/Kristine: $1,001
BYU football fan Kristine wins the $1,400 TV & plays PAY THE RENT (Rachel at the house, Manuela w/ the groceries); this is the second time I know of Drew warns the player that the correct combination's not necessarily from least to most expensive. The groceries to victory are some Maxwell House International cafe original cappuccino mix, a duraflame log, a can of Pedigree country stew dog food, a box of Kix, 25 Hefty Everyday Soak-Proof paper plates & a box of Betty Crocker Au Gratin potato mix ("Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae).
My House:
Mailbox: Cereal
Level 2: Plates + Potatoes
Level 3: Cappuccino + Dog Food
Vault: Log
KRISTINE'S HOUSE:
Mailbox: Plates
Level 2: Potatoes & Cereal
Level 3: Dog Food & Cappuccino
Vault: Log
Plates- $1.99
Level 2: Potatoes ($2.29) + Cereal ($3.49) = $5.78
Level 3: Dog Food ($1.39) + Cappuccino ($3.99) = $5.38 (Log: $5.29)
I would've painfully lost by nine cents for the big money.
CORRECT HOUSE (besides the log):
Mailbox- Cappuccino ($3.99)
L2: Potatoes ($2.29) + Plates ($1.99) = $4.28
L3: Dog Food ($1.39) + Cereal ($3.49) = $4.88
(Note: For the mailbox, I would've issued a target price that the grocery placed there would have to meet or beat in order to even win the $1K- in this case, I would've set it at $2; if that had been the case, a wipeout would've occurred.)
Fifth's Gaston Flores & the second PUFB on the train's (George) a Napoleon gas grill (Amber; "Just Can't Get Enough" by The Black Eyed Peas).

WoF: How cold is this $1K Toss-Up Thing? We're about to know:
H _ _ H
_ L T I _ _ D E
After about a one-second delay, Ben solves at HIGH ALTITUDE. Now, to the interviews:
Ben Teitelbaum (Pasadena, CA)- A Journalism graduate student at Columbia University who originally tried to play pro basketball
Lorimar Riemedio (Vallejo, CA)- A Business Administration student who will graduate this January & has also been singing karaoke so much that she frequently gets something called the "Mike Elbow"
Vanessa Kimbrough (Chattanooga, TN)- An opera singer married to Terry for two decades
The prompt of the $2K T-U is Event:
_ _ C T O R Y
_ _ R A D _
No need for a VICTORY PARADE now, as Ben gets the tripler.
On the wheel from the Alpine Adventures trip department now, sponsored by the new 3-D movie "Hugo", is a $7.5K getaway to The French Alps (w/ the Sierra Trading Post gift tag for tonight & Thursday) & the UnitedHealthcare Jackpot Round category of the night's Fictional Characters. He first gets up there a $2.5K D, three N's for another $1.5K & the green 1/2 KIA, then after buying three A's & an E, he calls three R's for another $1,350 & two T's for nine more bills. Following his latest buys of an O & two I's...
_ I N _
A R T _ _ R / A N D
_ I R / _ A N _ E _ O T
...he solves KING ARTHUR AND SIR LANCELOT for new cash winnings of $8,250.
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $8,900
To lead off a Mystery/Same Letter Round, Lorimar calls N for an instant negative. Secondly, Vanessa calls a $600 R but Loses a Turn. Third, Ben calls a dud of T for trip. As we almost get immediately back to Lorimar, she calls up two S's for the 1/2 KIA from the same location & a C-note, buys two E's but then goes Bankrupt on the Million Dollar Wedge's right side to lose her plate & the remaining $750. Vanessa then hits the regular Bankrupt next to the Wild Card to give back her six Benjamins, allowing Ben to Free Play four A's & call the SL of four P's for $2,400, then he buys an I before calling D for dud. Lorimar then tries to get off the zero mark...
P _ R P _ E
P A I S _ E _
P A _ A _ A S
...& does so after putting on some PURPLE PAISLEY PAJAMAS.
DUDS: $600 D (Ben), $550 N (Lorimar), T (Ben)
SOLE LaT OF THE ROUND: Vanessa
BANKRUPTS: 2 (women)
Vanessa's next turn at the start of a People puzzle in this Prize Puzzle Round starts w/ a $1K T pairing, an H for the gift tag, three E's & five A's, followed by two N's for $1,200 extra & the only dud vowel on the board (O). Ben follows that w/ a $300 S but then a baddie of Y. Over to Lorimar, who next says a $350 G & a $500 M & buys the other two pairs of vowels before retrieving the WC w/ an L & the same 1/2 KIA w/ two R's for another grand...
A M A _ I N G
_ I R E / _ A N _ E R S
A T / T H E / L U A U
...& she wins another $1,350 & a trip to where she can see some AMAZING FIRE DANCERS AT THE LUAU, The Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu, worth $7,225, giving her a slight lead w/ $9,575 in cash & vacation.
DUDS: O (Vanessa), $300 Y (Ben)
TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: JR2217124 (Jodie R.)
Ben can regain the lead on this $3K In the Kitchen T-U:

Vanessa cooks up her first three large courtesy of a WAFFLE IRON.
After we say it's Rhyme Time on the next puzzle, she lights up a $1K pair of N's but then loses a turn w/ the T. After Ben's $900 R, we hear the final bell...
_ N _ _ / _ _ / _ / _ _ _
_ N / _ / R _ _
...during Last Chance Mode tonight, the rest of the vowels are worth $1,900 a pop. After three G's go up...
S N _ G / _ S / _ / _ _ G
_ N / _ / R _ G
...Vanessa steals this round for an additional $6,700 & the match w/ SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG, $9,700 total. Lorimar leaves w/ $9,575 in cash & Hawaii & Ben has $8,250 in his pocket.
As a result, $27,525 in cash & trip has been won so far tonight.

As we almost get immediately back to Lorimar, she calls up two S's for the 1/2 KIA from the same location & a C-note, buys two E's but then goes Bankrupt on the Million Dollar Wedge's right side to lose her plate & the remaining $750. Vanessa then hits the regular Bankrupt next to the Wild Card to give back her six Benjamins, allowing Ben to Free Play four A's & call the SL of four P's for $2,400, then he buys an I before calling D for dud. Lorimar then tries to get off the zero mark...
P _ R P _ E
P A I S _ E _
P A _ A _ A S
...& does so after putting on some PURPLE PAISLEY PAJAMAS.
DUDS: $600 D (Ben), $550 N (Lorimar), T (Ben)

Vanessa's next turn at the start of a People puzzle in this Prize Puzzle Round starts w/ a $1K T pairing, an H for the gift tag, three E's & five A's, followed by two N's for $1,200 extra & the only dud vowel on the board (O). Ben follows that w/ a $300 S but then a baddie of Y. Over to Lorimar, who next says a $350 G & a $500 M & buys the other two pairs of vowels before retrieving the WC w/ an L & the same 1/2 KIA w/ two R's for another grand...
A M A _ I N G
_ I R E / _ A N _ E R S

...& she wins another $1,350 & a trip to where she can see some AMAZING FIRE DANCERS AT THE LUAU, The Kahala Hotel & Resort in Honolulu, worth $7,225, giving her a slight lead w/ $9,575 in cash & vacation.
