Might have been confusing since there are two O's in the O'Reilly rank

It's not a clue for people who did not watch MASH. co7 was Radar's rank in the Army
8:30 am
bichon
It's not corporal
8:31 am

Yes. It's the same sequel that was included in the boxed set.

ever thought of writing one?

rururocks
me.. yes.. sure.. but I don't have enough skill I think to do that
12:04 pm
rururocks
I write well for my business but I'm not sure I could write something that would hold someone's interest
12:04 pm
saanichcat
it takes a certain mindset that's for sure
12:05 pm
rururocks
it sure does
12:05 pm
rururocks
I love starting a book and realize immediately that an author has that gift of telling you a story.
12:05 pm
saanichcat
or you could write an anecdotal type - small chapters, as if they were newspaper columns. You must have seen some pretty outlandish things and peopllin the wine business
12:06 pm
rururocks
yes.. but.. those are all secrets
12:07 pm
rururocks
<---has stories for sure
12:07 pm
saanichcat
ahha. then you get people to pay you NOT to write the book. hmm. that might be illegal.
12:07 pm
rururocks
I'd have to come up with a fake name like Smith
12:07 pm
rururocks
ah saanich.. I think a number of people were busted for that
12:08 pm
MollyL
So many people "think" they can write. It takes a good command of language and an innate ability to tell a good story.
12:08 pm
saanichcat
too right Molly
12:08 pm
rururocks
true.. I like more subtle writing and cleaner writing as a rule
12:09 pm

this grid is annoyingly difficult

the last part is
12:10 pm
rururocks
<--thinks harpier should be a word.. a comment is more harpier (Harpjane)
12:11 pm
MollyL
One harpy should be considered harpier than the other.
12:11 pm
saanichcat
you read my mind ru - 'harpier' is a word. Shakespeare uses it in Macbeth
12:11 pm
saanichcat
I mean 'the scottish play'
12:14 pm
saanichcat
"thrice the bridled cat has mewed; thrice and once the hedgepig whined; harpier cries 'tis time tis time' " or something like that
12:15 pm

I think the nerds who concocted the Enable word list were too busy discussing foreign currency and alias mammals to remember their Shakespeare.

Now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day! For those who use Facebook and run into those cute or inspiration posts that beg you to "like them." This article is two years old now, but explains very clearly what is involved in "liking" something on the FB feed. http://tinyurl.com/d8v5ef9
4:18 pm
MollyL
re + first part of break in a bone without the URE
4:20 pm

Yes, that is why so many companies ask you to "like us on Facebook". On a personal level, when someone "likes" a post, it just means they agree with what has been said.
4:20 pm

Either way, it boosts the popularity of a post on Facebook.

That it does. Just a tiny bit slimy is all when it is the intent at the end in may cases to sell to the highest bidder

But comments get posts before more eyes better than likes do.

4:25 pm
flosey
ah, will check again, tks dc
4:25 pm

A big part of what Facebook is all about is promoting pages. Hence the LIKE button, that is involved in Facebook's search engine mobility.
4:25 pm
crosshair
http://tinyurl.com/pwg6639 this one is a newer article. it may work better

Twitter is the same way. It's a popularity contest. In regards to Twitter, it's how many followers you have.

just something to be aware of is all. i know that Facebook's commodity is us, but good to have a heads up on it, just the same

I think the creepiest thing about Facebook is how it can indicate who you might want to be "friends" with via your email. It is such a Big Brother site.
4:29 pm
crosshair
very "big brother"
4:30 pm
MollyL
And the fact that anyone you are "friends" with can copy and save from your page. There really is not the privacy there that people think there is.
4:32 pm

tried the second one again, worked!
4:33 pm

so true - son sent me a picture - many of my friends responded to it!

yeah and it's funny how they are so much like that, and then they just unveiled being able to pay for stuff through FB. and i'm like - you're already horrible with every other piece of info about me, why on earth would i trust you with that?
4:35 pm

I got the same message, but scrolled down and there was the article

Not to worry, i do not pounce on typos, because i am the kink of them:)
7:56 pm
Trifioso
crossy, I am so at a loss...remember the other day, we were speaking of books, and I recommended "The Martian?" who else were we speaking with? I cannot for the life of me remember....
7:56 pm

Getting closer to wanting a new cat...
8:02 pm

Watchmam is good I hear, but be prepared to be disillusioned by some actons of familliar characters. Must keep in mind the time in which it was written
8:02 pm

I have heard that.

No one is perfect, especially fictional characters based on real people.

Evening all... may I have clue for tr7? Thx.
8:04 pm
JBsAnno
Oh, sukee, I know how you feel. {{hugs}} The sadness will fade, and the joy remain, but it does take time. Getting a new kitty friend does not diminish the ones before. I'm on my 3rd clowder.
8:04 pm
sukee
Definitely will consider really looking for one by the end of the month.
8:04 pm
sukee
I know, I just don't want it to be just a replacement and comparing it to the other.
8:05 pm
sukee
Although, I felt the same way when I got my last cat a few months after my other one died.
8:05 pm
JBsAnno
Trif, who authored The Martian and the Naple series to which you referred? Are they one and the same?
8:06 pm
sukee
Sorry glittzy, I don't have that word.

Not yet for me either, glittzy.

9:21 pm
featherbee
very muggy, yes
9:22 pm
JBsAnno
Well, feather, I'm in the same pickle with my back room. In the last 6 months I've shredded over 200 pounds of paper, and still have 5 file boxes to go through. Sigh. I'd rather be swimming!
9:22 pm
featherbee
wow, good job!!!
9:22 pm
JBsAnno
Nef, I hope he's okay!
9:24 pm
Nef
He's okay, JB. We are trying to go on vacation, & he's gotten sick every one of the last 4 times we've tried to go. SO (basically) I'm threatening him with his life if he gets sick again and we have to cancel this one! ;-)
9:24 pm
