Did you tell them that cu4/6 has shown up in the grid three days in a row now? Is this what people call "small talk"?

hello friends.

Trifioso
So, I have this theory - I don't know if there is a Mrs. Dr. God (or a Mr. Dr. God, I don't judge....) but if there is? They are having a BIG fight - that's what, the third day in a row we have had the dreaded c word?
6:57 am
MollyL
I would agree, except Dr. God does not create the puzzles. They are created at random. So all I can assume is that The Universe is mighty pissed off about something.
6:57 am
Trifioso
but he chooses which ones to put up
6:58 am
MollyL
I don't know about that. From what I have read here, the puzzles are random and he has nothing to do with how large (or small) they are or what they contain.
6:59 am
TheByzantine
Dr. God, just as Lickety does, can add or remove words.
6:59 am
Trifioso
as I said, it's just a goofy theory
7:00 am
bichon
I'd like yid removed
7:00 am
TheByzantine
Lickety has the newer version of ENABLE ... he can take out the occasional extra word. Dr. God has the same capability.
7:01 am
MollyL
I'm sure he does. I'm just not aware that he has ever actually removed a word from a grid because people find it offensive.
7:01 am
Trifioso
bichon, I feel you - the OED accepted "masshole" as a word this year. proud day for us here in Massachusetts!
7:02 am
TheByzantine
No. I talked to him about the words. He has some interesting thoughts.
7:03 am
MollyL
I only find words offensive when they are used in an offensive manner. Words in a word game are just words.
7:04 am
Trifioso
I agree molly, to a point. I just thought it was funny it should appear three times in one week.
7:05 am
TheByzantine
Who chooses what is an offensive manner? For many, some words are offensive without any context.
7:06 am
Trifioso
sort of sorry I brought it up.....
7:07 am
MollyL
That is true. That is why i started my comment with "I only find words..." meaning that it is my opinion. No need for anyone else to agree or feel the same.
7:08 am
bichon
np Trif. I really find yid offensive in a way I don't the cu word. You can find the cu word in Shakespeare, but I associate yid with anti-Semitism
7:08 am
MollyL
No worries Trif. It is odd when any word shows up in grids repetitively like that. However it's not as striking when "tree" shows up three days in a row. : D
7:08 am
Trifioso
absolutely! me too
7:12 am
rbud
just an observation - have never seen the "F" word in the grid.
7:14 am
rbud
therefore have presumed it's not *totally* random, if you follow my thinking...
7:15 am
Buggie
wow, please tell me people aren't getting offended by words in a random grid!?
7:18 am
MollyL
I wonder if people who find certain words offensive, refrain from using them in Scrabble. The f word on a triple word score is worth 45 points. You can bet I'd lay that one down.
7:19 am
rbud
well, it's valid in morewords, hahaha, just went and checked. :D
7:27 am
TheByzantine
The Words With Friends word list is based on the ENABLE word list but contains some modifications. First of all Zynga, the developer of Words With Friends, doesn’t allow proper nouns, abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes standing alone, or words that require hyphens, or apostrophes. Whereas words labelled as part of speech such as loanwords, colloquial words, slang, now obsolete words etc., can be used. Additionally, the Words With Friends word list was modified by the removal of some offensive words. Deleted words are mostly profanity and racial slurs.
7:29 am

the official scrabble dictionary does not have shit.

Americans are always making a big deal about freedom of speech, but constantly censor words... It's very hypocritical
7:31 am
TheByzantine
There is no freedom of speech on a private site.
7:32 am
TheByzantine
The conversation has been civil, until now.
7:32 am
Buggie
technically, everything but government websites are private sites
7:32 am
Buggie
So there is no freedom of speech on the internet
7:32 am
MollyL
This is not a private site.
7:33 am
TheByzantine
Sure is.
7:33 am
TheByzantine
Doc God, or his company owns it.
7:34 am
bojazz
Words can be offensive and it's not a big deal if people are offended. I'm very much offended by the N word - it has no place here and I get if wouldn't work if it was in the puzzle. It's not a weird or a crime to find some words offensive

Which, of course, is your opinion. As is your right to express it, unless Dr God would step in.
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." ~Albert Einstein
"The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it seems to me the deepest root of all evil that is in the world." ~Max Born
7:41 am
MollyL
Apologies. I interpret "private site" as a site where people have to be members. This site is open to the public. It is privately owned and can be censored. It is my understanding that it only gets censored when some troll like person comes on here spewing obscenities.
7:43 am
suefrad625
I am sorry, but this is just a site that can be chosen to visit. If it offends someone, they should not come back.
7:43 am
MollyL
I agree Sue.
7:44 am
TheByzantine
Yes, those who disagree with others in a civil manner should just go away. How special.
7:46 am
MollyL
I believe Sue's point was that if people are offended by words in the grid, they are not obliged to play the game.
7:46 am
TheByzantine
A distinction without a difference.
7:47 am
MollyL
No, not really. Not if she was referring to people who are offended by words in the grid and not people who choose to disagree civilly.
7:47 am
suefrad625
wrong Byz, what i am saying is if you are looking to be offended, you will find it anywhere.
7:47 am
Buggie
Wow, TheByzantine, you're acting very offended by things that aren't aimed at you in the slightest.
7:48 am
TheByzantine
I am not offended.
7:48 am
Buggie
Claiming you're not offended when your words say otherwise...
7:48 am
TheByzantine
You implied people should leave.
7:48 am
suefrad625
I love to debate an issue, but people dont do it any more. If you dissagree with a person you are automatically offending them. Why cant we disagree anymore? I think if two people always agree, one aint thinking.
7:49 am
TheByzantine
That is another opinion.
7:49 am
TheByzantine
I am not offended.
7:49 am
suefrad625
Byz, i do not go to Exon for gas, I do not give my dog bones from China and I do not go to sites with naked people. Those are my choices.
7:50 am
MollyL
I find a good debate interesting as well, Sue. No one is obliged to agree with another's point of view. Hell, no one is obliged to read the chat here. It's easy enough to turn the chat off and play without reading it.
7:50 am
suefrad625
but I do not put others down that do.
7:50 am
TheByzantine
Good for you.
7:50 am
suefrad625
well said Molly
7:51 am
TheByzantine
You are doing exactly what you accuse me of.
7:51 am
Ray100
I agree Molly but some of this debate is slightly fraught.
7:51 am
suefrad625
I never accused you of anything Byz.
7:52 am
TheByzantine
I have not either ... but now I am the bad guy.
7:52 am
suefrad625
My point was just that if you find a site, that you choose to go to, offensive, then dont go to it on days that you see that word in it. We still have choices thank God.
7:53 am
TheByzantine
That is your opinion. Fine.
7:54 am
suefrad625
I have also found, that because this site is international, some word mean different things to different people.
7:54 am
bojazz
civil debate is a lost art...
7:54 am
suefrad625
shagging to me is dancing
7:54 am
suefrad625
it is bo, what a shame
7:55 am
suefrad625
I am truely puzzle as to why you think me saying that Byz is an oppion. Can you explain please? To me I say it as a fact.
7:55 am
TheByzantine
I do not find this conversation uncivil.
7:55 am
Buggie
Okay, nobody has said anything bad about you, Byz, except that I stated you're acting very offended. And you're just getting worse. You'er acting like a child. Grow up. And on that note, Fireworks. I'm off. Byz can huff and puff about me all s/he likes, I'm not going to read it.
7:56 am
suefrad625
congrats on the fw Buggie
7:56 am
TheByzantine
Have a great day, Buggie.

actor Keenan's four letter last name is in the grid
8:42 am
penquis
yes, i noticed that....
8:44 am

I can't deal with Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I know a lot of people do it, but that just seems like rushing Christmas too much for me. Besides, I would be sick of it all by Christmas.
8:48 am
penquis
i am in a recorder group and we play in the waiting room of a nursing home every Wednesday afternoon....traditionally, we start playing Christmas music right after Thanksgiving....But the first week or two we play what we call "alternative Chrismas music" (lesser known Christmas carols)....i do enjoy playing all that music...
8:49 am
wvteach
i am in three different groups and we will start playing in nursing homes on Monday. Then will play every Tuesday and Wednesday for the next three weeks. I enjoy the Christmas music
8:51 am
penquis
nice....i enjoy it, but by the end, I am glad it's done with... ;o)
8:51 am
MollyL
I would love to hear the lesser know Christmas music. The other thing that gets on my nerves is that all the stores start playing Christmas music today. You can only hear "Frosty The Snowman" so many times before you want to start breaking things.
8:52 am
MollyL
It is nice that both of you contribute your time to making the elders in the nursing home happy.
8:52 am
wvteach
We have our musical Christmas party (this year on Dec 20th) and that is our traditional "end of playing Christmas music" party. We always try to find some music that we didn't do for performances to play for the party.
8:52 am
penquis
yes, Molly, i don't like the store music either....but nice recorder arrangements or variations on Chrismas music can be quite nice...i like the variations in particular....
8:53 am
MollyL
My Father spent some time in a nursing home and it always made me sad that so few of the residents had visitors.
8:53 am
wvteach
we try to do a mixture - but include many of the popular carols so we can encourage them to sing along
8:54 am
penquis
yes....i have a friend in my recorder group who brings her greyhound to the nursing home....she's a certified therapy dog....the residents love her...
8:55 am
penquis
we don't play for a group of seniors, but sometimes people wheel one down to listen for a few minutes...
8:55 am
MollyL
That is nice Pen. I'm sure many of the people there miss having pets.
8:55 am
wvteach
we always try to visits with the residents after each performance and also let them try to play the instruments
8:55 am
penquis
i once met a therapy pig....she was one of those miniature pigs...owner brought her to meet some of the residents at the home...

I don't know what smells better. The turkey roasting on Thanksgiving or the turkey soup simmering the day after.

I had a bad green bean casserole experience yesterday - think the little crispy onions were stale. never thrown out a whole food item before, but I have now. promised to make a whole fresh batch for the weekend, lol, son was so sad about it. :P
9:08 am
EvaNadine
new icon, per request!
9:09 am
MollyL
Eva, if you ever roast a turkey, I highly recommend the fresh ones you can order at Harris Teeter. They are from a local turkey farm and the best, moistest turkey I have ever had.
9:10 am
rbud
what a cutie!! :D
9:10 am
EvaNadine
ive enjoyed the ones from Giant, but i will keep that in mind!
9:10 am
MollyL
I can't see the new icon yet. I look forward to it whenever this board burps and shows updated icons.
9:10 am
EvaNadine
Molly, if you refresh, you should see it...
9:10 am
rbud
I just right-clicked on the little pic and hit "reload image" - worked for me.
9:11 am
MollyL
I have refreshed. Four times. I never used to have a problem with updated icons, but recently that changed.
9:11 am
EvaNadine
hrm. weird!
9:11 am
wvteach
i just refreshed and can see it
9:11 am
EvaNadine
log out + back in?
9:12 am
rbud
of course I use an ancient browser for this game... like my ancient cell phone, sometimes seems "smart"er than newer ones.
9:13 am
MollyL
I've done all the usual things. Refresh several times. Log out and in. Lately, icons only refresh after the new icon has been up for a while. I'm sure it will change eventually. This board has issues.
9:16 am
MollyL
Sure enough, the new icon shows up in Internet Exploder.
Adorable Eva, just adorable.

Oh he is adorable,Eva! Love those dimples! He's going to be a real lady charmer when he grows up, if he isn't already!
9:19 am
MollyL
I'm sure he is charming everyone he flashes that cute little smile at.
9:23 am
EvaNadine
TY all -- we have NO idea where the dimples came from since neither of us have them!
(but i love them all the same!
9:24 am
penquis
when i was 6, i envied my neighbor Christine who was also six because she had the nicest dimples...
9:27 am
penquis
she grew up and moved away....worked for the FBI....
9:27 am
EvaNadine
i always envied the blond girls. i wanted blond hair SO BADLY!
9:28 am
MollyL
And then you found it, in a bottle : D
9:29 am
MollyL
I wonder if an FBI agent with dimples gets taken seriously.
: D
9:30 am
EvaNadine
for a while.
but really, i think redheads have the real fun (which i found in a bottle as well!)
9:31 am
MollyL
We do. Although mine is now mostly chemically induced auburn.
9:32 am
penquis
i have cousins in Connecticut....there are 5 brothers and two sisters....in order of age: redhead, brown haired, redhead, brown haired, redhead, brown haired, redhead....
9:33 am

My Mom's family was all auburn haired and brown eyed except for one oddball gene that seems to crop up in every generation. My Mom was one and one cousin the other. Both blonde and blue eyed in a sea of auburn and brown eyes.
9:37 am
penquis
my cousins have very strong genes....all appear to have the same nose...many of their kids do, too, along with red hair...
9:42 am
EvaNadine

Jellen
I have a question if you're still here...
11:31 pm
Jellen
Oh! I was thinking about adopting a playmate for Loki.
11:32 pm
Jellen
I'm getting him neutered in December or January. Want to get a rescue dog.
11:33 pm
jesdraggon
did you get the cat aggression thing worked out?
11:33 pm
Jellen
Suggestions?
11:34 pm
Jellen
Um. Not really. The cats go out when he's in.
11:35 pm
Jellen
Or there's a door between them. For example, he's in the kitchen for the night.
11:38 pm
Jellen
I kinda like pugs. Someone that size and short haired. I assume female (spayed) would be best.
11:39 pm
jesdraggon
are you asking for breed suggestions? or a referral to a specific rescue? In general I recommend young adult dogs and in particular I'd look for one that has a history of good behavior with cats.
11:40 pm
jesdraggon
pugs tend to have good personalities but a lot of health issues - ear canal narrowing predisposes them to ear infections, skin folds to skin infections, flat face to respiratory problems and dental issues.... so be prepared for a higher maintenance dog.
11:40 pm
Jellen
Ok. I was looking for general advice.
11:40 pm
jesdraggon
I am fond of Bostons and French Bulldogs in that vague size range - they are not quite as brachycephalic as pugs so don't have as many issues.
11:41 pm
Jellen
A mutt would be better.
11:41 pm
jesdraggon
though I rarely go looking for a specific breed; I am mostly looking for a personality that I get along with, and that comes in whatever body it comes with.
11:41 pm
Jellen
Good point. :)
11:41 pm
jesdraggon
beagle x pug mixes are fairly popular
11:44 pm
Jellen
Ok. Thanks! I feel bad for Loki because I've got a new back problem and I can't play with like I wish it could.
11:44 pm
jesdraggon
I'd take the dog you have along to meet any you are considering before you bring a new one home, an dmake sure they don't immediately hate each other
11:45 pm
Jellen
Yeah, I was about to ask about that.
11:45 pm
Jellen
Yeah, I was about to ask about that.
11:46 pm
jesdraggon
and make sure the rescue has a return policy, just in case they don't work out together.
11:49 pm
Jellen
Thanks jes, your so kind to answer my vague questions!
11:49 pm
jesdraggon
though if the problem is that you can't exercise one dog, you may find that 2 just becomes even more of an issue..
11:50 pm
jesdraggon
you might want to consider training Loki to run on a treadmill, that's a good way to burn off excess energy without requiring you to keep up with him
11:53 pm
Jellen
That's a thought.
11:55 pm
jesdraggon
and things like chuck-its to make ball throwing easier (you don't have to bend down to pick the ball up), or actually tennis ball launchers (for practicing tennis returns)
11:57 pm
jesdraggon
if there are any dog parks in the area, you could spend time there, let him get some run-around with other dogs that don't become your responsibility :)
11:59 pm
Jellen
No dog parks. I used to take him out to the country, but he and the other dog started chasing cattle.
