Hello, I was just wondering. When people say they list, do they mean going to lickety, or actually going to the list of words (say the list of all the 6 letter words in the dictionary)
7:41 am
Trifioso
When I say it I mean Lickety, buggie
7:42 am
car.eeyore
Lickety
7:42 am
dan2bit
same as Trif for me - sometimes people say "found it on morewords" which is different
7:42 am
Buggie
okay, wasn't sure. Always thought it meant Lickety, but then it would have been great for my self confidence if everyone was using the word lists ;-)
7:44 am
Trifioso
car, does the qu tile play a role at all today?
7:44 am
car.eeyore
Only for the 3 Qu words

8:46 pm
TraderKate
nice to have that wiggle room jes.. do you also run an unofficial adoption agency from time to time? (my old vet did)
8:47 pm
Minveryork
Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
8:48 pm
TraderKate
is mystery kitty pretty much okay?
8:50 pm
jesdraggon
I run a non-profit rescue on the side; patch up wildlife orphans and injured pets and adopt them out. Surprisingly the last couple of years have been completely funded by donations so I've not had a lot of out-of-pocket on it, which is not what I expected when I started it
8:50 pm
jesdraggon
Initially I got the non-profit certification because I was spending a couple thousand dollars a year of my own money doing it and wanted to be able to write that off on my taxes.
8:51 pm
TraderKate
I've read about the wildlife often enough.. but wasn't sure what happens with the domestics..
8:51 pm
jesdraggon
I just put a picture of kitty in my profile
8:53 pm
TraderKate
poor thing... was that taken after your ministrations.. or had it prhaps seen another vet, and owner couldn't affore further treatment?
8:54 pm
TraderKate
so antibiotics, deflea/mite/worm, and wound care, stitches?
8:54 pm
jesdraggon
just shaved the mat off the sore.
8:55 pm
jesdraggon
antibiotics and flea treatment today, will worry about vaccines and spay when she's had a few days of getting over it.
8:56 pm
TraderKate
yes, shouldn't traumatize her too much... looks like she's been through the wringer already
8:57 pm
