Hi and hugs
1:46 am

{{hugs}} good morning my dearest friend. how was your night and yesterday?
1:47 am
sprite
a bit of an off day. Caya didn't pass her driver's test, alas. Night was ok. How was your day? *hugs rose*
1:48 am
grannyrose
out with june for lunch and charity shop hunting. the last was the best. they were already closed.. :-( but on the footpath was a 1920-30's glass bowl.
1:48 am
Lizlin
:( Poor Caya
1:49 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* Yeah it was not fun. Some crazy bicycle rider was zigzagging over the street and the examinator didn't agree with the way she solved it. Alas.
1:50 am
sprite
bleh on the being closed, rose, but yay for the glass bowl.
1:50 am
grannyrose
poor Caya. she must feel so down-hearted. poor kid.
1:51 am
gapeach
morning all. Is no10 related to no8? Thanks much.
1:51 am
grannyrose
lolll, you should have seen don's face when he saw it. it's absolutely gorgeous.
1:51 am
sprite
so I made Caya an apple pie and bought walnut icecream for her. She had her favorite dessert as a small consolation.
1:51 am
sprite
morning peach :)
1:52 am
gapeach
Hi there, sprite.
1:52 am
grannyrose
please tell her not to be discouraged. personally, i think the examiner was wrong.
1:53 am
sprite
yeah he was wrong, rose. But they have the final say. Caya will go up again as soon as possible. Probably in 2 weeks.
1:53 am
Lizlin
Next time she'll be more confident and have more experience with other idiots on the road!
1:53 am
sprite
and another examiner, hopefully :)
1:54 am
maccafixx

1:55 am

Has anyone heard from Lickety? Thannks

Hi Peach. the Byz said there was a server problem.
1:55 am
gapeach
Thanks, Liz.
1:57 am

1:58 am
grannyrose

1:58 am
gapeach
Thanks sprite.
1:58 am
Lizlin
Not related Peach - the no 8 and 10
1:59 am

if someone is willing to put up a list in their profile, the listing won't be necessary. Clues are no problem, of course.

Always go at your own pace! Especially when you're here!

rubyfoo
Do you think Kasich has a chance nationally?
4:50 am
broll
I know this may seem awful, but I try to stay away from politics! I think of myself as an independent, therefore can't ascribe to either party.
4:52 am
broll
Yes, maybe, but he lost support in Ohio (he's governor) by removing funding from Planned Parenthood a couple of weeks ago.
4:52 am
rubyfoo
You can imagine what it's like for me, so far away. All I know is from CNN and the Int'l New York times
4:56 am
broll
That's a pity. The newsgivers actually are going for the sensational most of the time. I think they are focusing on Trump too much.
4:58 am
rubyfoo
It's true. They love to sensationalize, particularly when the fighting gets down and dirty, and, yes, Trump gets much too much coverage
4:59 am
broll
And I have a theory that he is in collusion with Hilary (someone said he used to be a Democrat), to split the Republican party so she'll get elected. Think about it.
5:02 am
rubyfoo
Interesting idea!
5:03 am
rubyfoo
And he used to be a democrat
5:21 am

And by being outrageous, Trump gets free air time

6:25 am
rubyfoo
Bonjour une
6:25 am
Uneaixoise
anyone have a profile list?
6:25 am

No high, just relief. I can't understand how oxy is a recreational drug

Scrabbler
Oops, this is not a waste. I have found 155 words and must get ready for work now. Enjoy the day and this grid. Bye, kids.
6:26 am
bichon
Is oxy like morphine
6:27 am
Uneaixoise
bye, scrabs!
6:28 am
rubyfoo
bye scrabsyes, the morphine is in the oxycodone that I take
6:28 am
rubyfoo
It is one of the most abused drugs, but I can't imagine why
6:28 am
Scrabbler
Yes, those are all opiates/opioids and can cause euphoria and addiction, although effects are different for each person. For my 5 surgeries I hated the opiates--foggy feeling, nausea. Not a nice feeling at all.
6:29 am
rubyfoo
I am Lucky as I tolerate opiates well only digestive side effects, but not even drowsiness
6:29 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I agree with Ruby. I saw no enjoyable benefit from the opiates.
6:31 am
Scrabbler
But some people want to be sedated, and some people have different receptors in their brains and the dopamine then flows---> addiction!
6:31 am
Scrabbler
OK, I must go.
6:32 am

Uneaixoise
yes, i'm back, zooz
1:58 pm
zoozzoom
what did you make of the Maria Sharapova drug confession!
1:58 pm
rolin
I think she has to show records of an ongoing medical condition to justify the taking of the drug
1:58 pm
Uneaixoise
i need to read about it -- just saw a couple of sound bites -- apparently she had been told it was illegal and that she had to stop, right??
1:59 pm
MollyL
Judi (like Elvis) has left the building
1:59 pm
zoozzoom
She said that she was taking it for a heart condition. A doctor said you would not be taking it for over ten years,
2:00 pm
bichon
She has a heart conditions and she plays a high energy sport?
2:00 pm
zoozzoom
One way or another this has cost her more than money.
2:00 pm
Uneaixoise
on the recommendation of her physician, she had been taking meldonium for the last decade because of abnormal E.K.G. readings and concerns about possibly incipient diabetes. . . . hmmm
2:00 pm
rolin
but id she doesn't have that condition the drug enhances performance
2:00 pm
zoozzoom
Very true, bichon!
2:01 pm
Uneaixoise
(from Vanity Fair article)
2:01 pm
rolin
so either she has a condition which can be proven...or shes a cheat
2:02 pm
zoozzoom
I was just shocked to see her on the news saying she was sorry. But I also think the coach should also take the blame too.
2:02 pm
bichon
For the money she makes I'm going with a cheat
2:02 pm
Uneaixoise
and there's this: In response to Sharapova’s disclosure, the Latvian pharmaceutical company that produces meldonium said patients usually require a four-to-six-week course of treatment that may be repeated twice a year, not a decade of continuous use.
2:03 pm
zoozzoom
Yes that is what i saw, Une not over a ten year period.
2:03 pm
Uneaixoise
well, she's losing sponsors left and right . . .
2:03 pm
bichon
Maybe she can return all the money she made and feed some needy people
2:04 pm
zoozzoom
No matter what happens now her reputation has gone.
2:04 pm
Uneaixoise
Bichon, you know, I thought a similar thing about Jeb Bush -- just think what he could have accomplished for others with the MILLIONS he spent on his failed campaign
2:05 pm
zoozzoom
The money that is spent in the USA on political campaigns is just staggering!
2:05 pm
Uneaixoise
indeed, zoom -- she's lost the trust of her fans
2:05 pm
bichon
And when Trump does not get elected, he can make a bit donation
2:05 pm
Uneaixoise
i agree, zoom
2:06 pm
bichon
I have passed half way and it's quit for me

i find the printed lists too tedious to use....gives me a headache....
6:22 pm
Lizlin
I'll use it until we go out - I don't print it - i use it as an extra tab on-screen.
6:22 pm

yes, i never printed it before.....but as an extra tab onscreen still gave me a headache...
6:22 pm

penq.. similar to an excuse to not have sex :D
6:23 pm
Lizlin
It's certainly tedious like this.
6:24 pm

I don't mind finding the words, it's identifying which word I need to find that's the problem.

that is exactly the problem Liz.

The only way I have found to make use of a list generously made by a player who has finished is to use an Excel spreadsheet. However I have not had much luck explaining that to people who are not Excel users.
6:27 pm
Lizlin
It's so long since I've used Excel - not brilliant with the formulae.
6:27 pm
Lizlin
The lists and clues are always much appreciated.
6:28 pm
MollyL
You don't need to use formulas. You just paste the "made list: into Excel and then add your words as you find them. And yes, it's tedious but Lickety makes this game easier than it really is.
6:29 pm
Lizlin
Is that any different to adding words manually in Word? Serious question.
6:30 pm
Christa
With Lickety's List I get twice the amount of words. Thank you Lickety
6:31 pm
lynxxx
I use Excel too - copy list over - delete sections - type in some words only if a big section eg T's!
6:31 pm
Lizlin
I think most of us really appreciate Lickety.
6:31 pm
Lizlin
I do that in Word - so what I'm asking is whether excel would make it easier for me.
6:32 pm
lynxxx
prob not - I am more Excel than Word
6:32 pm
Lizlin
For example - working on st words now - I have st 7/28 and then 3 x st 5/10 - no idea which st 5/10 I'm missing. Would excel make it easier to identify?
6:33 pm

6:34 pm

6:34 pm
Lizlin
No, just paste the words in a list - it appears in a similar form to your list. Sometimes I highlight to show missing words. Othertimes, like today, I write in the larger words I know for sure but point value and work from there!
6:35 pm
Lizlin
Not "but" point value - Use point value.
6:35 pm
Bugsaw
I just print the posted list and cross off words as I find them. Eventually I learn how long the words are that I need to find.
6:37 pm
