thx, liz!

12:25 am

joym999

I guess i should know by now but what's "nbt nbs?"

12:26 am

flosey

no blank tiles, no blank stats

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

no blank tile, no blank square - I have a word for every square on the bottom left, under the grid, and I have a word for each word length (4, 5, 6, 7, etc).

12:28 am

VolleymomDee

in 7 x 3

12:28 am

rururocks

I always thought it was no blank square no bull ****

12:28 am

joym999

12:29 am

VolleymomDee

so did, I, ru... no blank stats makes more sense :) ty, flosey

12:29 am

joym999

I always work on one letter at a time so it takes me a while to get to NBT. My rule is that I have to get at least half the words for each tile before I can use Lickety's clues.

1:46 am

rururocks

I am tired. ..really lazing around...unmotivated

1:46 am

sprite

not too great atm, ru. Down and very tired and drained. In the process of getting divorced. It is all a bit much.

1:46 am

sprite

ah, one of those days huh... if you can, just give in to it, enjoy it, tomorrow is another day.

1:47 am

rururocks

I hear that ...mine has dragged on for a long time

1:48 am

sprite

am sorry to hear that, ru. Those things are bad enough without dragging on.

1:50 am

rururocks

It sure takes a long while to move through it

1:51 am

sprite

and you and pug deserve all the happiness in the world, too. I hope things move on a bit for you, so that you can start living again.

1:51 am

Thank you for your list yesterday. I couldn't have finished without it

1:55 am

flosey

ah yes, Sprite, thanks, I would not have finished either, tired now, off to bed, goodnight all

1:59 am

rururocks

I had to look up a few

2:00 am

2:06 am

rururocks

Off to go read before sleep ...have a nice grid sprite

2:07 am

sprite

enjoy your book, ru, and I hope you will sleep well *hug*

2:36 am

sprite

another mineral today that is new for me, and another word that looks like a mineral but isn't. Interesting.

2:46 am

sprite

fireflies. Very enjoyable grid.

3:32 am

jwr

it is fun, sprite -- I'm especially tickled by visions of going ba9 - over hill and dale in pursuit of flop-eared, low-lying mournfulness.

3:34 am

jwr

oops - just noticed the time differnce; a mere 40 minutes between remark and response ... that must be a record. ... and since I seem to be talking to myself, I shall depart for showery-er climes forthwith.

3:53 am

Trifioso

hello nighttime friends

4:37 am

Dianne

Hello from over here where it's 5:37 pm on Thrusday.

4:37 am

Dianne

duh - Thursday

4:38 am

zoozzoom

And hello from here where it is 10:38 am :-)

4:40 am

Dianne

zooz - any good, juicy scandal from your side of the water?

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Dianne. Nothing that I can think of. How about you?

4:43 am

Dianne

just graft, corruption and a few drug busts. Nothing juicy.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

The only thing really going on over this side of the water is a Scotland vote to see if the people of Scotland want to go independent from the rest of the UK.

4:46 am

Dianne

I know that is going on - which way do you think it will go?

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Personally I think the people will decide to stay part of the UK. just a hunch mind.

4:50 am

Dianne

I think so too. I;ve never been there but would like to go.

4:51 am

zoozzoom

No I have never managed to go there either, Dianne.But have seen plenty of programs on the place.And it looks such a beautiful place.

4:53 am

Dianne

It does look beautiful in all the programs I've seen and I love the accent.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

The accent is a good one but if very heavy i just cannot understand a word they are saying..lol

4:54 am

Dianne

That's true - when I hear the heavy accent I think of olden days, lord of the manor things.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

A bit like an Irish accent combined with the speed at which some people speak as some can speak very fast.I have no chance of picking up any words..lol

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Which is another beautiful country too!

5:03 am

Dianne

I've never been there either - just visited through tv or movies.

5:13 am

zoozzoom

I have 101 left and still no 9s..lol

5:18 am

zoozzoom

Oh finally I find one!

5:19 am

5:46 am

Wolvie

5:46 am

zoozzoom

I need one more 9 to complete my set of four.

5:46 am

Wolvie

any 8 i mean. have not listed- if there is one today lol

5:46 am

grannyrose

crossy, it is all in the hands of the union. they have postponed the meeting until we can get our hands on the latest independent medical exam report.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

extend a SC 5/12 to get an 8 Wolvie.

5:48 am

Wolvie

ty zoo! that ending (ahem) is going to come in handy today lol

5:48 am

sukee

woo hoo, got a the ba 9 :)

5:48 am

zoozzoom

yes...yes it has so far..lol

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Nice one, Sukee!

5:48 am

Wolvie

niceeee sukee :-)

5:48 am

Wolvie

brb- refill of coffee needed

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Rose. wonder how long it takes for independent medical exam report to be compiled.

5:52 am

grannyrose

zooz, workcover said it could be up to 28 days. they have a copy, that is how long it can take them to forward the report to me. even my doctor doesn't have a copy...* shrug * go figure

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Oh I see. I thought as it is independent. It would go to a third party not from your works.

5:54 am

grannyrose

lol, they call it independent, but you can bet your last dollar, the doctors have been vetted by workcover.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Yes that was just what I was thinking, Rose. probably why it will take so long.They need to go study every detail. Saying all that, I still think they have not got a leg to stand on (pardon the pun) so you will be OK

5:56 am

grannyrose

one thing i would like to be able to say to workcover, find a doctor who is completely au fait with fibromyalgia and central sensitivity syndrome. send me to that doctor and bide by what he says.

5:57 am

crosshair

you are fortunate you have a union working to get that reports, rose; with my beloved with disability, they took years bouncing it back and forth tween various doctors, then sending incomplete reports that had to be refiled again and again. it too us the better part of ten years;(

5:57 am

sukee

I was so lucky, I got accepted for odsp right away, however, I am not disabled enough for CPP Disability :)

5:58 am

grannyrose

yeah zooz. when i went through my papers, i found that on three seperate reports my fibromyalgia is clearly mentioned. yet workcover are claiming surprise, surprise. we didn't know anything about it.

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Geez that is waaaaaayyyy to long, Crossy.

5:58 am

crosshair

took forever, zooz

5:58 am

Wolvie

wow crossy

5:58 am

grannyrose

ugh, crossy, please tell me are she are through the morass of legalities.

5:59 am

crosshair

got it all done just one year before her eye speciallsit retired though:)

5:59 am

Wolvie

and wow again to rose- unreal . of course here in the gold old US of A- you wouldnt get anything

5:59 am

crosshair

ignore typos, still waiting on my first tea of the day

5:59 am

grannyrose

* you and she are*

5:59 am

crosshair

yes, she is ok in that regard now, rose

6:00 am

grannyrose

good for you both, to come through it all, crossy.

6:00 am

crosshair

is it any better with the new healthcare reforms down there, wolvie?

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Wolvie, did Obama not bring in some sort of health care system where it is free for the poor?

6:01 am

crosshair

snap

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Snap, Crossy!

6:01 am

Wolvie

i dont know yet lol- still only half on since not all states signed up- plus it hasnt been here very long. the supreme court really screwed the pooch in its ruling- very political

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Oh geez again! hahaha

6:02 am

Wolvie

there has always been a free for poor sort of coverage here- just not very efficient

6:02 am

crosshair

so, they took a simple idea, and made a big mess of it...

6:02 am

Wolvie

that is usa politics lol

6:02 am

zoozzoom

That sounds just like here too!

6:02 am

sukee

They should have gone for single payer like in Canada and most of the civilized world :)

6:02 am

Wolvie

should have been single payer- but they had to add layers to get anything passed- eventually it will be single payer and then we can sort it out :D

6:02 am

crosshair

indeed, sukee

6:03 am

Wolvie

snap sukee

6:03 am

sukee

Our insurance companies are still doing well.

6:03 am

crosshair

we just pay at tax time, but we can all get treated at any time without jumping through hoops

6:03 am

zoozzoom

OK so sorry for my ignorance..single payer?

6:03 am

crosshair

yes, my car insurance has never been more expensive lol

6:03 am

Wolvie

ours would too- but we take corporate recompense to the extreme in this country

6:03 am

zoozzoom

LOL Crossy.

6:03 am

doseffing

... our insurance companies screamed bloody murder and laid off staff when we brought it in ...

6:04 am

crosshair

universal health care , zooz, paid with lots of lovely taxes

6:04 am

Wolvie

the govt pays for all zoo- like in our medicare for the elderly

6:04 am

sukee

Yes, but yet they make billions in profits.

6:04 am

Wolvie

yep dos- ours is doing the same- and good morning

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Typical, Doseffing...why am I not surprised to hear that.

6:04 am

crosshair

but i would rather pay more for gas, booz and smokes and get unlimited health care:)

6:05 am

sukee

For sure :)

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Thank you, Wolvie.

6:05 am

Wolvie

yes they do- i find it abhorrent to make money from health issues- i think they should just be covered. doctors should make bucks and nurses et al- but not insurance companies lol. maybe for ultra policies- but the basics should be free

6:05 am

crosshair

not that I smoke any longer:)

6:05 am

9:20 am

Judi

Good clue, JJ. I don't think they should charge Mr. Stewart with any crime. The other guy should have known better than to walk out onto the track in the middle of a high speed race.

9:26 am

josephjames

9:28 am

Judi

Reckless, irresponsible, suicidal.

9:31 am

People who love words and language are usually attracted to word games. People who love words and language are usually ones who wish to spell correctly. There are obvious exceptions to that.

1:25 pm

penquis

i carry around a virtual red pencil (i edit a state newsletter)....but if i misspell a word here that is easily recognizable, i don't correct it....just me, i guess....

Oh, bless you Pen. I know from experience what task masters nuns are as teachers

but i do when i speak.. just not when i type........ i used to but having arthritis cured me of having to be perfect

1:29 pm

penquis

ah...that's a good thing then....i just find that i type faster here without using caps...

1:29 pm

So, Marta's Mom doesn't have any kids who say "ain't"

I have always disliked abbreviations for words, even before the internet. I always spell out a word, even street and avenue.

1:32 pm

sammysmom

Well SMom, I used the word lazy in reference to that once here and someone got all pissy with me.

1:34 pm

well i admit i have used them in chat....mea culpa....but i will do it again, i am sure, lol....

1:36 pm

i proofread a manuscript for a friend of mine a professor at western reserve.. corrected ther spelling ,grammar and punctuation.. she asked me what college i had been to that i could do that as well as i did and i said .. not college, but i DID pass mrs tasker's fourth grade english class unscathed

1:37 pm

penquis

lol....elementary school is where i learned how to write properly, too....nuns were great at the basics....

1:37 pm

penquis

i actually liked diagramming sentences, since it was so logical....

1:37 pm

MollyL

For me, it's not so much what was drilled into me in school, it's a love of words and language.

1:38 pm

penquis

i do love word games, too....and i have always read a lot...

1:38 pm

MollyL

Pen, you liked diagramming sentences? The nuns must have LOVED you.

1:38 pm

doseffing

... but was it the eventual success in the drills that gave you the love of words and language?

1:39 pm

sammysmom

we not only learned how to spell and pronounce the words, but the tenses of each word and the word origin

1:39 pm

MollyL

Not really Dose, but good guess.

for me, i think that was part of it...

I made a coffee ice cream pie this weekend that is way too good to make but once in a long while

6:03 pm

bichon

Do you just bake the crust and then add the ice cream?

6:04 pm

bichon

I really need to take the fluffs out. They're squeezing their paws together

6:04 pm

MollyL

It's a chocolate cookie crumb crust with the ice cream, blended with toffee chips.

6:04 pm

jaxx7

We have a wonderful cherry tree in our back garden. It was supposed to be a miniature one but no-one told the tree and it is now 30 foot high and produces the most wonderful black cherries. I use those. That is provided I can beat the blackbirds to them.

David Tennant was also Scottish but he acts with an English accent more often.

Lizlin

That wasn't a spoiler! I have no idea. I also don't want spoilers. I was just imagining.

7:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, very unhappy that the 10th doctor did not have that nice scottish accent!

7:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

not you, i was already typing about no spoilers before you posted that

7:17 pm

Watching Tennant now in a UK drama - Politician's Husband. Also using an English accent.

i never go to fan sites or the BBC site, the same problem

7:18 pm

I've never understood why they use Americans to play English and vice versa.

7:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

let me see, it's a remake of Broadchurch, and I believe it's called Grace Harbor (?), murder mystery

7:19 pm

bye liz...

7:20 pm

MollyL

Gracepoint. And why cringe because he uses an American accent?

7:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

actors can do accents. that's what they do. nothing wrong with Muricans playing Brits, or whatever. Just my personal predilection for a good Scottish accent 8-)

7:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the American accent (or should I say, Midwestern) is cringeworthy compared to Scottish, that's why!

7:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i don't think there will be a season 2 of broadchurch. that was a "mini-series" not season 1 of an ongoing series. but I could be wrong

7:23 pm

MollyL

For anyone who watched Breaking Bad, Anna Gunn is in Gracepoint too.
