Has anyone every suggested to Lickety that he should set his programming to begin perhaps 15 or 30 minutes after flip, so if flip glitches, his clues should still come up?

1:52 am

anike

Thanks Liz

1:54 am

grannyrose

liz you still here?

1:56 am

Lizlin

Still here - was just looking at some pics I took today

1:56 am

grannyrose

don's results are back. although he has severe stenosis at C4/5 and C5/6 (in the neck) there is no impingement on the spinal co4.

1:56 am

Lizlin

That's good news - explain stenosis pls

1:56 am

Lizlin

Compression? Deterioration?

1:57 am

Lizlin

And can they do anything to help him.

1:57 am

grannyrose

narrowing of the hole through which the spinal co4 runs.

1:57 am

Lizlin

Good news that the spinal co4 isn't affected.

1:58 am

grannyrose

the centre of our vertebrae has a hole all the way fom our brain to our tail bone.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Will it continue to narrow?

1:58 am

Lizlin

Can it be stabilised?

1:59 am

grannyrose

i am rubbing him with voltarin gel 3 x per day. it is a little easier to bear. and yet again he was complaining of pain, and when i asked him about his pain meds... guess what the answer was?

1:59 am

Lizlin

I forgot!

1:59 am

grannyrose

it's actually an age thing. and... ROFLOL.... yup

2:00 am

grannyrose

*eye roll*

2:00 am

Lizlin

Does he wear a watch and could he set an alarm on it?

2:00 am

Lizlin

Duh!

2:00 am

grannyrose

fang has had a cervical fusion done. when she gets back from canada/alask i will ask her why. it could be a genetic thing.

2:01 am

Lizlin

That's interesting and might be worth the trouble of talking to her about.

2:01 am

grannyrose

of course he has....but he would have to remember to set the alarm.....

2:02 am

grannyrose

i had him trained to take nurofen every morning for a while. but with the voltarin he may not have it.

2:02 am

Lizlin

True. Alternatively you could remind him with a sharp tap on the side of his head! Pain reminder, like Pavlov's dogs. He sees your hand move and takes his meds.

2:03 am

grannyrose

oh... i love it.... *giggling hysterically*

2:03 am

Lizlin

:)

2:03 am

grannyrose

i really must deploy the squirt bottle of water...

2:04 am

Lizlin

I've got to go - we've been out all day. Still have 63 left. If you see Sprite, please thank her for yesterday's list. Wouldn't have finished without it.

2:04 am

grannyrose

i will. and enjoy your evening. xoxox

2:04 am

Lizlin

Squirting water would work but I think pain is a better reminder!!!! Hugs Rose and to Don too.

hello from France on this brilliantly sunny but COLD morning!

3:50 am

mummy

Hello from Somerset, dreary morning here, but woke up so it must be a good day!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

waking up is always a good sign!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

hello mummy

3:52 am

mummy

Hi Ruby, where in France are you? Wd are probably visiting friends there in Sept

3:53 am

mummy

Now it is raining, so a day for doing some sewing

3:53 am

rubyfoo

southeast, 10 minutes fromAnnecy

3:56 am

mummy

Ok, we usually go to the Charente region, not ventured as far as your area (yet)!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I used to have a "friend" in Poitiers, so spent a lot of time there between marriags

4:02 am

mummy

We have been there, we always said when we retire we would travel arojnd France but 2 years on we dont seem to have done much, apart from have a house built and look after the grandchildren now and then. Plus the cat has to get put in cattery which adds to the expense of going away for long periods

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I had spent a lot of time in France, both with first husband and after, but when 2nd and I decided to retire here, I took him all over France to find an area that suited us both.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

It is gorgeous here, with viezs of Lake Annecy and the mountains, but he is gone now, so it's very different.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I'll stay to the end, though, with my dogs and my garden to sustain me

4:05 am

rubyfoo

colled

4:06 am

rubyfoo

sorry, I'll keep quiet now

4:08 am

mummy

Yes, I saw on the chatlog that he had passed, it is very sad, I dont very often join in the chat, just watch from the sidelines.no, no need to keep quiet, we all have things we have to deal with x

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm poor at multi-tasking lol

4:10 am

4:12 am

rubyfoo

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Oh I get that a lot, Ruby. I can sit here with a hot water bottle then go outside and it is warmer!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

Exactly!

4:15 am

4:16 am

rubyfoo

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Yes you are due the rain on Sunday by the looks of things, Ruby.

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Nothing I did not have, Ruby.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

It makes me feel stupid when I do that

4:18 am

zoozzoom

We all do it :-)

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Well most of us :-)

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Not you! lol

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Oh please I am one of the worst for it!

4:20 am

mattygroves

Good morning all!

4:21 am

zoozzoom

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Matty :-)

4:22 am

mattygroves

How is everyone today?

4:22 am

zoozzoom

4:22 am

rubyfoo

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Happy Birthday, Matty!!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

On ne sait jamais, zzoozz....

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Is it? oh..yes ..yes it is!

4:25 am

grannyrose

let's see how did it go?

4:25 am

mattygroves

I'm feeling old (though the 'time of month' isn't helping - peri-menopause - the gift that keeps on giving)

4:25 am

mattygroves

Probably TMI :)

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose :-)

4:25 am

grannyrose

*hugs back*

4:27 am

rubyfoo

everybody loves Rosie!!!

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Well of course and why wouldn't they!

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I brought uppolitics late last night, but immediately ducked out; coward that I aam

4:28 am

grannyrose

roflol... ruby... i have told you a million times not to exaggerate

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I had heard Trmpf's NRA speech and was seething

4:28 am

grannyrose

aww zooz

4:28 am

rubyfoo

When one is this short, exaggeration is necessary!

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Well is it likely that Trump will get in?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I hope not, but he has so much support from lower-class whitemen

4:30 am

rubyfoo

It's a scary prospect!

4:30 am

rubyfoo

And he's disloyal to America's allies like England

4:30 am

rubyfoo

and NATO

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Yes did he not thank the uneducated people for voting for him. I could not believe it!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

Yes, and Sanders is a jerk and should get out of the way!!!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Now, everybody will hate me! Tant pis, as they say here, or "Auntie wet herself"

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Well I have not followed too much of it, Ruby, so am not upto speed with it all. I only see bits and bobs on the TV so do not know how biased it is here.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

(bad Ruby!!)

4:33 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:34 am

zoozzoom

But when he was saying we will build a wall and Mexico can pay for it. I did think that guy is an idiot.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I imagine there are both Trumpf and Sanders supporters, but I don't care any more. I've always been a feminist, having fought hard in those wars, and, as abrasive and tone-deaf as she can sometimes be, I ardently support Hillary.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Bernie has lovely ideas, but they could never be realized

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Although I am sure the bricklaying manufacturer would be very happy :-)

4:36 am

grannyrose

btw... *smug look* i have caught up on all the washing and ironing, folding and sorting. BUT

4:36 am

mattygroves

Anyone have stats for the second I in the second row? The singleton?

4:36 am

zoozzoom

But?

4:37 am

grannyrose

if anyone sees my fairy godmother. please tell her i love her and to come home....

4:37 am

zoozzoom

I have LO4

4:37 am

grannyrose

the bathroom needs cl5ing

4:37 am

zoozzoom

And the PT of that word.

4:37 am

mattygroves

Sorry - i - the vowel :)

4:37 am

There was an article in the NYT yesterday, laying out how totally impractical his id**s vis-a-vis Mexico and immigrants are

Yes, but the people who will vote for Trump don't read and don't read the NYT.

Bonjour rubyfoo

Thanks for the In7 :-)

That's a great name for a song!

My mother had neighbours who felt the NYT was a tool of the liberal conspiracy and that Fox News was genuinely the only free and fair news outlet on telly.

4:40 am

grannyrose

look, just accept the man is so far out of touch with reality, he probably lives on Mars

4:40 am

rubyfoo

bonjour. They probably don't read French, either! Am I a snob or what?

4:40 am

mattygroves

if you can have in7, why can't you have the 5 after the prefix?!

4:40 am

godthaab

The NYT is tool of the U.S. Government actually

4:40 am

grannyrose

just because, matty... lolll

4:41 am

rubyfoo

Trumpf is a TOOL!!

4:41 am

godthaab

4:44 am

sprite

ah nice, rose :)

4:44 am

zoozzoom

I need to get something to eat. Catch you all later.

4:44 am

sprite

ruby, that is no taboo, that is a rule sprung from experience... talking religion or politics in chat tends to provoke real bad fights

4:44 am

rubyfoo

what movie? uh oh, more brking from my fluffy protectrice

4:44 am

sprite

didn't mean to scare you off, zooz, lol

4:45 am

rubyfoo

I don't care any more; anybody who supports <Trumpf probably can't spell anyway

4:46 am

grannyrose

roflol, ruby...

4:47 am

rubyfoo

and I spell his name that way intentionally. When he said "America dfirst3 my hair stood on end because that's what pero-Nazi supporters used in the US in 1939-40 used as a slogan

rubyfoo

5:08 am

ivesy3

5:09 am

ivesy3

5:09 am

rubyfoo

In 2015, when husband was still alive and I got sick, I paid more than $40,000 for medical stuff

5:10 am

rubyfoo

That's what they toldme in social services here

5:10 am

ivesy3

POLITICIAN, n. An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is reared. When he wriggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.

5:20 am

great words, Byz

5:20 am

awww, byz....a bit harsh

5:21 am

mattygroves

Folic is so very a word (folic acid). Humph.

5:21 am

grannyrose

i agree matty. naughty enable.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

I agree, tried it twice

5:22 am

mattygroves

At least twice for me :)

5:22 am

rubyfoo

My son is arriving this afternoon and I'm sure we'll be arguing about politics all week

5:23 am

rubyfoo

I think he supports Sanders :(

5:23 am

MollyL

According to the dictionary (re: folic)..."The adjective is restricted to the noun "acid" as an alternative name for pteroylglutamic acid. All other uses are very rare (incorrect according to the OED)."

5:23 am

grannyrose

ruby... try not mentioning politics. see how long it lasts.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

Thank you for explaining that, Molly

5:24 am

mattygroves

I like the idea of Sanders in opposition - not sure (and admittedly, I've not researched in any meaningful way) if he'd be id5 as president

5:24 am

rubyfoo

5minutes, maybe

5:24 am

grannyrose

molly, that dictionary needs a serious shake-up.

5:24 am

MollyL

Just copying and pasting Ruby. I had to look it up.

5:24 am

mattygroves

But better than Trump. Mind you, syphilis is better than Trump.

5:25 am

I think he has lovely, but impractical, ideas.

TheByzantine

The ENABLE word list includes over 172,000 words in the English language and describes itself as the most thoroughly researched, and therefore the most authoritative word list and reference available for Scrabble players1. It has become a de facto standard, particularly for online word games, and is released into the public domain by its compiler, Alan Beale. Since it is used by many puzzle authors and solvers alike, ENABLE makes the aggressive claim that it is not merely a superior alternative2 to the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, but that it threatens to supplant and replace it, to squeeze the very life out of it in a process of Darwinian selection3.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

Was it Lindsay <Graham who said, it's like choosing between poison nd a bullet to the brain

5:26 am

grannyrose

byz, dear heart...ENABLE needs a brisk walk in the fresh air....lol

5:26 am

MollyL

It would be nice if they would update the ENABLE word list then. Since it hasn't been updated since 2000.

5:26 am

mattygroves

Democracy gives us the choice
Of which machine to vote with
Or choose which brand of razor blades
You'd rather cut your throat with

5:26 am

grannyrose

hmmm, molly. who is they? do you know?

5:26 am

sprite

lol matty

5:27 am

MollyL

I don't know. The "they" I was referring to is whoever compiled the ENABLE word list, that I find very outdated.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

and a lot of words have been added since 2000!

5:27 am

sprite

there are more recent versions of ENABLE in use. But babble hangs on to an old version.

5:27 am

TheByzantine

Lickety uses the updated ENABLE

5:28 am

sprite

yes. Which is one reason the clues are sometimes off

5:28 am

rubyfoo

I don't understand why some foreign food words are accepted and others, not;

5:29 am

TheByzantine

the server has another temper tantrum at change .. no lickety for awhile I expect is the result

5:30 am

5:35 am

How many words do you need to get fireworks or does it go by points?

5:59 am

MollyL

Getting all the words gives you fireworks, but only if you are a registered member.

6:00 am

Snoopy Cooper

I see. And today how many words do you need to have them all?

6:00 am

MollyL

171

6:01 am

Snoopy Cooper

Wow! Thank you Molly.

6:02 am

MollyL

I forget what the other member advantages are. Being able to see the points total is one and getting fireworks when you finish is another. It doesn't cost much to join.

6:03 am

Snoopy Cooper

It sounds like it would be worth while joining.

6:04 am

MollyL

Oh, you can also see tile stats and word stats below the grid which tell you how many words of each letter exist in the grid and how many words of 4, 5, 6, 7 etc letters are in the grid.

6:05 am

Snoopy Cooper

$14.95 to join for life.

6:06 am

Hi. Must jump in here and say it's great fun and you make wonderful friends. It also helps exercise your brain and as mine is pretty ancient, that's a good thing!

6:13 am

Scrabbler

LoriP and her daughter live in NS but I am not sure that they play Babble anymore.

6:14 am

Snoopy Cooper

It is a fun game,but as a beginner,my scores tend to be quite low.

6:14 am

hydra

Don't worry about that. I very rarely finish. I dip in and out during the day.

6:15 am

Snoopy Cooper

Me too. Words that you didn't see in the morning may pop out at you later in the day.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Don't look at the score. Work at finding words and get better at it. Watch the chat for clues and hints, learn the lingo, and learn the odd words or Babblets that are often in the grids. Just have fun here and meet people from all over the world.

6:16 am

Snoopy Cooper

Thanks for the tips Scrabbler.

6:17 am

hydra

You'll gradually pick up words that we call 'babblets' - odd little words that you never see anywhere else but are always popping up in the game.

6:19 am

hydra

Well, I must go and do some more gardening. Hope you decide to join us, Snoopy!

7:58 am

It really is very clever. Insist they need help, they then feel they have something to prove...voila, you don't have to help them.

7:58 am

And to quote the actual fact sheet for the bed:
How to assemble your

Lay your components out and match them to the diagram below.

jeanne314

huh...."folic" is not in this dictionary!!!???

9:30 am

rururocks

wow.. Jeanne.. that's an acidic comment :D

9:32 am

jeanne314

LOL! I had to keep my latent snarkiness in check!

9:34 am

MollyL

Oh good. We can't have "too much snark".
: P

9:35 am

MollyL

Research on the word "folic" says it is not a word by itself, it is only in proper use as a modifier for acid. Don't shoot the messenger.

9:45 am

rururocks

hmm.. not budging .. thinking about your list molly

9:47 am

rururocks

ha.. I should write that more often.. just found ten

9:55 am

MollyL

It's like that magic "ask for a clue and get it within a second of asking". Usually means if you look a while longer you will find it on your own.

9:59 am

rururocks

<---now trying words that don't work..like decorn

10:01 am

MollyL

Why isn't that the meaning of cutting corn off of a cob. To decorn the cob. Stupid Enable.

10:02 am

rururocks

my sentiments exactly

10:04 am

MollyL

And Enable will take a military acronym such as AWOL but not DEFCON

10:04 am

jeanne314

Thank you, MollyL! I just tuned back in here...I never even thought of such an issue with a word...Thank you for doing what I should have done (rather than resort to snark ;-} )!!! Hope you're having a good grid today!

10:06 am

MollyL

My comment about too much snark was a joke. I think sarcasm is a great brand of humor. Those without humor must lead a very dull life. So snark at will.

10:07 am

rururocks

my comment was about snarkiness... :D Bring it on!@

10:09 am

helensgirlkid

Somehow I think AWOL has been a word since at least WW I, and throughout the English-speaking world - but DEFCON?

10:13 am

MLFAN17

Jeanne I thought it was odd it doesn't take that word either folic

10:14 am

MLFAN17

is the be 7 a compound word?

MollyL

You can Leave Your Hat on was written by Randy Newman. It was covered by a lot of people, but not J. Geils

10:31 am

rururocks

oh.. there was a similar j geils song then>

10:31 am

rururocks

you mean by taking off my underwear?

10:36 am

hego

:)

10:37 am

MollyL

I have never understood the whole women throwing underwear at men. You'll notice men don't throw their jockey shorts or boxers at women. : D

10:38 am

hego

thank God for that!!

10:40 am

rururocks

sometimes we throw other things at them :D

10:40 am

hego

Throwing things at people is a bad practice in general. Unless it's money.

10:41 am

rururocks

that's what I meant

10:41 am

hego

Oh...

10:42 am

After days in Sedona, hiking the Grand Canyon and a decent flight from Phoenix, that was my welcome to CA last April. A blip between two terrific little trips.

6:56 pm

Dorens

No, but at least you're in that ultimate toy that you've been able to give yourself and that's something! You could be in the twenty year old rusted ford pick up truck in the next lane.

hi, thought I'd come in at the end for a change.

11:16 pm

Uneaixoise

hey melon :-)

11:16 pm

stidmama

((melon))

11:18 pm

stidmama

hey melon -- did you hear that I decided (midlife crisis?) to join the local community orchestra? PERCUSSION!!! I am not good, but I am enthusiastic!

11:19 pm

stidmama

it's little --- all-volunteer, but most of the members have played professionally. So I am learning a lot.

11:22 pm

melonheadjujube

Brava, stid!

11:23 pm

melonheadjujube

Isn't it fun to be part of an ensemble. I loved orchestra. All the fun of performing with none of the stage fright.

11:27 pm

stidmama

I am really enjoying it -- I don't actually get stage fright with this instrument... I am so focused that I don't have time for it!

11:27 pm

stidmama

And I get to be right in the middle of gorgeous music for the pieces I don't play in. Win-win!

11:27 pm

melonheadjujube

Cool. What instruments are you playing?

11:28 pm

melonheadjujube

In an orchestra you really are part of something bigger than yourself. Yes, playing and being in the midst of great music is a dreamy experience.

11:29 pm

stidmama

Everything percussion -- because we're little, I bought my own drum set (need to upgrade already, though, I am very particular about the timbre and pitch of things). And I am the only percussionist after the fellow who was there got really sick last year.

11:30 pm

stidmama

I am struggling right now with playing some cadences for a medley of Broadway tunes. I can get the snare OR the bass, but not reliably both in most sections. So that's my main practice focus.

11:30 pm

melonheadjujube

Our percussionists were equipment fiends. One fellow had a whole array of triangle beaters; I asked them if they were metric or Englishâ€”hehe.

11:31 pm

stidmama

I am glad I already knew how to play several other instruments and can sight read relatively well, but there are times I really muck it up when I am trying to play the music that is written for four or five and there's only me...

11:31 pm

melonheadjujube

A drum set! Wholly Toledo you are playing with all four limbs! I am impressed.

11:31 pm

stidmama

LOL I have two triangles -- one is worht $15, the other is more like a hundred. but the tone of the $15 one is sometimes what a piece calls for.

11:32 pm

stidmama

I am only just now trying to figure out the high hat... it's for home listening only at the moment!

11:33 pm

melonheadjujube

Wow. You are into it. I'm so happy for you. Now, I am about to hit the hay. I have stuff to do Sunday morning. XXXOOO

11:33 pm

melonheadjujube

[poof]

11:33 pm

stidmama

But with teaching, during the school year I mostly only practice at our actual rehearsal... I am too tired and busy most days. I improve a lot in the summer, though. Only 15 more teaching wake-ups until vacation...

11:33 pm

stidmama

Sweet dreams melon!

11:40 pm

stidmama

I am off to eat pizza... *poof*
