I keep worrying that a longer word may contain the Qu tile in it somewhere - morewords doesn't give you those unless you force it to! Always thought that was odd.

2:10 am

broll

an 8 before the 7

2:11 am

rbud

like if you put a*a into morewords (* is the "whatever" between a and a) the aq4 doesn't even show up on the list.

2:13 am

yay, jess, and ty, broll and rose! :)

2:16 am

rbud

oh, I mean if the Q is out in the middle of the word, that's what is sometimes hard to find. but I know not everyone uses morewords. it can be peculiar sometimes.

2:16 am

anike

Ditto

2:18 am

anike

So everyone has done very well with the a's and h etc. What about the o's...and that last c?

8:48 am

bubba218

slow going on this grid, I don't know if my head is not working or this grid is just difficult

8:49 am

MLFAN17

bubba not doing well here with it either

8:49 am

Scrabbler

The vowels are peripheral.

8:49 am

welki

heh, i think it's that yesterday's grid was big enough that words just popped out from all over the place - didn't have to look that closely. today, we have to scour the grid for words

8:50 am

welki

and yes, i think scrab hit another nail on the head - vowels on the outside edges are probably more difficult for us to integrate into words

8:51 am

MLFAN17

and too many of them as well

8:51 am

MLFAN17

vowels that is

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

so back to vanectyl and antibiotics - at least we had a few months of 'normalcy'

10:35 am

rururocks

is it pyoderma?

10:36 am

rururocks

vanectyl must be like ketokonisole

10:36 am

welki

could be - all i see are rash and scabs

10:37 am

rururocks

Dylan's not doing too well right now either. it's supposed to be warmer today.. going to give him another bath

10:37 am

welki

it's an antihistamine and corticosteroid

10:38 am

rururocks

hmm.

10:38 am

rururocks

not sure what the rash is then

10:39 am

welki

it's not all over, like it was before, so maybe this flare up won't be so bad

10:40 am

welki

he's not bothered much by it, so i'm grateful for that.

gotta run - later all

I'm happy to re-post any list that gets generated when Lickety is not around. Very few people can solve these grids without a list of some sort. And while I realize Lickety is easier, "a" list is better than "no" list.

10:53 am

I'm one of those, Molly, relaly miss Lickety's list, and very grateful for yours, many thanks

It has been a long road

11:38 am

There was a nice fellow named zzooz, Who often developed great clues, His charm was delightful, his clues quite insightful

11:38 am

rubyfoo

looking for the lasr line

11:38 am

rubyfoo

hi Jaxx

11:39 am

jaxx7

How are you these days, Ruby

11:39 am

zoozzoom

Aww thanks, Ruby!

11:40 am

rubyfoo

And he helped me get rid of the blues!

11:41 am

jaxx7

No wonder I didn't see the words you clued Zooz, I don'teven understand the definitions. lol

11:41 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK, thanks jaxx, just spent the afternoon with my first oncologist who has become a good friend

11:41 am

rubyfoo

I am very fortunate

11:42 am

jaxx7

I had endometrial cancer, off for the follow up on the 16th.

11:42 am

rubyfoo

She worked with Doctors Without Borders in Pakistan and Afghanistan

11:42 am

jaxx7

Brave lady

11:42 am

rubyfoo

What treatment, jaxx?

11:43 am

jaxx7

Hysterectomy to begin with and then three monthly scans

11:43 am

rubyfoo

she's really special but is having trouble keeping working because of terrible ageism here

11:45 am

rubyfoo

It's great having an oncologist who is also a friend as I can run any treatments by her, since she started me on the one I'm continuing with

11:46 am

jaxx7

tell me about it. I had a few problems to begin with after the op. I went to the GP who while drinking a cup of coffee told me I was old and fat so what did I expect.

11:46 am

rubyfoo

NO!!!

11:46 am

jaxx7

Oh, yes

11:47 am

rubyfoo

That's awful

11:48 am

jaxx7

That is one GP I won't be seeing again. I was originally going to have part o my thyroid removed. Now they tell me that I am on tablets that affect the thyroid So I am stuck with the weight until I have the thyroidectomy.

11:50 am

rubyfoo

So one bad thing led to another for you!

11:50 am

jaxx7

I amwell aware that I am 70 and overweight. I don't need to be told so by a young woman

11:51 am

rubyfoo

My GP thought I had pleurisy and didn't even think that my pain was caused by a tumor in my sternum; he's not the sharpest blade in the drawer

11:51 am

jaxx7

Mind you,that is not a common cancer.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

And he gave me a cortisone shot directly into the most painful spot

11:52 am

rubyfoo

It came from the breast cancer I had 25 yrs ago

11:52 am

jaxx7

Oh no!

11:53 am

rubyfoo

But my friend, "Dr. FranÃ§oise", says that it is very treatable and I should Watch out for buses!

11:53 am

bichon

buses?

11:53 am

jaxx7

and young GPs

11:54 am

rubyfoo

busses? ((bichon))

11:54 am

bichon

ta 5/12, pls

11:54 am

rubyfoo

All the other oncologists are Young women and they basically pushed her dout

11:55 am

mixi6

add letter to tq4 before it.

11:56 am

jaxx7

Experience counts for nothing these days. the younger women come cheaper.

11:56 am

bichon

sorry, don't understand

11:56 am

rubyfoo

I think the Young ones were jealous of her experience

11:58 am

jaxx7

It is the same in the teaching profession. Blond Hair and miniskirts get you jobs and older and better teachers are pushed out.

11:59 am

jaxx7

Please put bichon out of her misery.

11:59 am

bichon

that's depressing Jaxx

4:01 pm

therealblah

4:02 pm

Marc Freeman

It means they are asking someone to give them a clue for the word that starts with those two letter. And welcome as well

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

crosshair

Nice to see new players. Welcome, J.W

4:02 pm

Stannehi

Thanks for the welcome - and the explanation! Now I gotta figure out how you know that's what you need . . . how do you know that's the 2nd letter?

Roses from one of my boys. They were good to their Mom on her day.

There are Mothers of boys who will tell you otherwise. My boys are golden.

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't think many, i dated one, should have known better.

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

but young, would never have thought of that. all ours were the apple of mom's eyes and vice versa.

5:56 pm

rururocks

I'm not following TO.. you dated a young guy?

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, when i was young. he thought his mother was ridiculous. like all women, i found out the hard way

5:56 pm

rururocks

*Changes name to Temple cougar*

5:56 pm

MollyL

Mother's Day in these united states has nothing to do with Hallmark. It is the result of one woman's constant efforts to have a day set aside to celebrate Mothers.

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes it is. but all things now become commercial to those who buy in to it.

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

must check oven. so hungry, dinner is late

5:58 pm

MollyL

I disagree. I think it's nice that kids and Fathers take a day to celebrate the Moms in their lives.

5:59 pm

rururocks

mothers generally do a lot more to deserve a day of recognition than most fathers do

5:59 pm

rururocks

my mother being the exception

5:59 pm

just a question

6:12 pm

MollyL

Many people celebrate a day aside from the commercialization involved. Catholics and Christmas comes to mind.

6:13 pm

therealblah

and probably just as many see Christmas and Easter, e.g., as an occasion for gifts, with no idea of the religion behind it

6:14 pm

therealblah

and anyway, Christmas =/= Mother's Day

6:14 pm

cybernan

maybe in addition to, but I don't think aside from....not many that do not exchange gifts at Christmas or kids that don't know about Santa Claus in our culture.
