Yes! I'm so happy that I'll actually have the time to pick at it today. Made me smile!

Are you using the link at the bottom of the grid for Lickety's list. It is coming up okay for me. Maybe try another browser.

hi Molly, yes the link at the bottom of the page - i'll try another browser, let's see

vicuna just something about being in a kitchen and a cat wanting food or just attention you just never know:)
9:02 am
Vicuna
Ours just gets dry, plus occasional treats.
9:03 am
MLFAN17
my husband stopped giving her the wet food since she was eating the dry more often but had to give her the soft again as she kept begging for it
9:03 am
NatashaW
your cat and mine must be related vicuna
9:04 am
Shirlockc
i think all cats tho i noticed an aversion to "beef" for the wet food for mine
9:04 am
Shirlockc
i couldn't believe it
9:04 am
Shirlockc
she actually won't eat the wet food if there's beef
9:05 am
MLFAN17
our cat doesn't eat seafood cat food
9:05 am
Vicuna
Who knows, it's always possible, Natasha! Ours has to get her food on a timer because otherwise she's gobble it ALL, unlike other cats who just eat a little at a time.
Hmm, I don't think ours has ever encounters wet food with beef, Shirl, so I can't give you any data to add to your study.
9:06 am
MLFAN17
our cat likes beef cat food
9:06 am
Shirlockc
i have had 3 cats and this is the only one who has been picky about her wet food

hurshy
i wrote about it on a friend's post... let me paste
10:08 am
hurshy
it was always instinctively clear to me that Pa's attitudes were better than Ma's - i'd argue that the evidence for this was right there, in the books themselves. the scene where they visit a deserted Indian campground, I feel like there's a sense of them relating to the Indians who had camped there on a very basic, human level, for instance. feeling like - they have some things they do differently, but they can't be that different from us fundamentally. and the wisdom of the man who warned them about the Long Winter struck me very deeply. the books overall left me with the impression that, as with any group, Indians were not all the same - there were peaceful people and there were violent people, but that on balance, they had some impressive knowledge and wisdom that the white society lacked, and they were treated very badly. in retrospect, do I wish Pa would have become a radical activist who took on the government's constant broken promises and forced migrations? sure. but then, i got an iPhone, and i already supposedly believe in human rights for all, and i already knew that factories in China that supply us with them have violated such rights.

Wilder's books stand on their own merit. She was a great contributor to children's literature and I think it is unfortunate that her name is being taken off the award.

what happened to that feeling?

It isn't just September 11th. It is the fact that so many people come to this country and take advantage of what it has to offer without actually becoming a part of their communities.

if you want people to become part of your community, you have to offer acceptance freely - without a bunch of conditions attached
10:36 am
Vicuna
Is that true, Molly, or is that just what the propaganda tells us? My community is full of immigrants who are full and contributing members of the community in every way. My ancestors immigrated here, as did the ancestors of all the politicians and talking heads attacking immigrants. Yes, people are scared, but that can never justify mistreating other scared people.
10:38 am
MollyL
I am not suggesting mistreating anyone. Nor do I have a problem with immigrants. My ancestors were immigrants as well.
10:38 am
zabeth
I'm curious what you mean by "take advantage" Molly?
10:39 am

That's true in my neighborhood also Vicuna. Most of the people in my neighborhood are immigrants and they are very much part of the community.
10:39 am
MollyL
As for "conditions", there are "conditions" attached to most things.
10:39 am

I'm a little confused how discussing Wilder (who's stories are about yesterday's immigrants) to disrespecting today's immigrants.

Whoops. How the discussion moved to...

hurshy
it didn't, really, beth. i brought up the song "coming to america" because it's been on my mind, as a new comment

When I said take advantage I meant take advantage of opportunities such as education, loans and other programs that favor minorities.

ok Molly I want to follow this through so folks get an education, maybe even get a scholarship that is specifically for immigrants. What do you think they''ll do with that education?
10:43 am

That is a valid point. We have a record number of illegal residents in this country.
10:43 am
Bethjt
Zabeth. Where in Texas are you?
10:43 am
hurshy
you know what was an invasion? an invasion was white people coming here and forcing natives off their land. an invasion was what we did to Mexico in the 1840s.
10:44 am
MollyL
Yes, Hursh, it absolutely was. That doesn't negate the previous point though. Call it what you will.
10:44 am

anyone who is not a Native American has about zero right to complain that someone else is "invading" "our" land.

10:46 am

there is one group of people in this country who have always been highly favored by its laws and policies, and who have, since the 70s, been able to continue tilting the economic and political playing field in their own direction, and that's the super-rich. if you're going to worry about people taking advantage, those are the people you should be talking about.
10:47 am
cybernan
hear, hear hurshy
10:48 am
cybernan
I think that is true of most industrialized nations
10:48 am
Vicuna
It does make a difference what you call it, though. If you call it an invasion of rapists it gets a different reaction from when you call it refugees seeking the the USA's freedom and opportunity.

io6 has to do with red stuff you used to put on cuts. sorry hard to clue

Yes indeed. The super rich and the moderately rich have things tilted in their favor. No argument. Minorities have things tilted their way too. Ask anyone who has not gotten a job because a "quota" needed to be filled and they did not fit the criteria.

and i'm a minority, i never felt that i got a job because a quota had to be filled, perhaps that's my naivete, but never happened
10:52 am
hurshy
i don't know anyone who has not gotten a job because of a quota. i don't even know anyone who legit knows the reason why they did not get a job. companies don't go around telling you why they didn't hire you.
10:52 am
zabeth
Molly I'm a little confused by that bit about racial minorities getting jobs because of quotas... the unemployment rate is still higher for black and latino folks than for white people in the US
10:52 am
cybernan
I don't think minorities have it so great -- who would want to live a life where you are constantly being slighted because of the way you look, how you dress, the colour of your skin and suffer illness and death in your families because you can't afford medical care and aid doesn't kick in until it is too late and poorer education for your children because nobody cares about the schools in the neighbourhood you live in?

st8 is narrowing... like the narrowing in a blood vessel
11:05 am
kje
damn... does that invalidate the trade?
11:06 am
hurshy
st7 i have never seen by itself in context. i only know it as an adjective with an -ous ending added. that would be an st10 if it were in the grid, and would mean noisy and labored (describing breathing)

there are so many good words in the world. it's lovely to think about sometimes. just last night i was thinking of the word "inexorable" and what a good and powerful adjective that is.

I dunno about endorsing a feeling, zabeth, but I second that emotion!
11:11 am
hurshy
vi, have you read the other ones that have been published by Jill Paton Walsh (at first in combo credit with Sayers)? Pickled Gherkins had died in the war as a pilot, so then when Gerald died, Peter became Duke of Denver.
11:12 am
rururocks
just a bunch of a's and d's to go.. what a grid so twisty
11:12 am
Vicuna
Oh, I've read two of them, the combo plus another. Were there more? I haven't remembered that, although now that you mention it it does sound familiar.
11:13 am

there were two in combo i think

i'm just going to give this machine a little makeover, cnan, since it's not working right now
11:15 am

Ah, I hadn't counted "Presumption" as being a combo, but I see that it is "based loosely" on work by Sayers. I had not read the next two. I'll have to check those out for summer reading.
11:16 am
hurshy
attenbury emeralds, at first i was like, this is not as good. but then when i got further i realized what she was doing and it WAS good.

mmm - no reboot and no restore

11:24 am

ok so i have three cats. opie and fritz are "luv bruvs" and then rilla is a dainty little girl. fritz isn't that bright and he is crazy and wrestles her more than she would like. that is the background.
11:25 am
rururocks
anyone able to clue the do 736?
11:25 am
hurshy
fritz was on top of this tv cabinet that i have at an angle in the corner, and he looks down behind it and sees that there are pillows there, so he goes, "oooh, pillows! i'm jumping down"
11:25 am
hurshy
most like do4/6 ruru
11:26 am
rururocks
oh.. jeez
11:26 am
hurshy
so he jumps down but then he's like, wait, how do i get out of here? i can't jump back up from the squishy pillows, and i can't go left, and i can't go right!
11:26 am
rururocks
not thinking.. thank you
11:26 am
rururocks
tough grid for me
11:27 am
hurshy
so he starts making all this racket scrambling around back there, and the other two are looking toward the noises in fascination. rilla was like, "he's a pest, good riddance"
11:27 am
kje
mostly just mind numbingly long
11:28 am
hurshy
but opie, after awhile, he was worried that fritz would not be able to figure this one out, so he rescued him. he went under the cabinet, and i can only presume poked fritz or looked out at him or whatever, and said "hey, come out this way!" and then came back out, and then a moment later, out pops fritz too.
11:28 am
hurshy
opie's like a firefighter!

NatashaW
no, not that one, I have that (last scene of a greek play)
5:08 pm
NatashaW
this is 6,33 not 36
5:09 pm
zoozzoom
To put something in like a coin in a machine is to in6 the money. Just use EX instead.
5:09 pm
NatashaW
oh wow, had no idea that was a word!! Thx.
5:10 pm
zoozzoom
Welcome.
5:10 pm
MollyL
Had to look up "drinking squash". You all across the pond have a whole different set of terms. Zoom is drinking fruit juice (for those of you who might think he is drinking a gourd)
5:11 pm
NatashaW
he's probably drinking it while wearing a "jumper" also
5:11 pm
NatashaW
though it may be too hot for that...
5:12 pm
zoozzoom
Ah to me fruit juice is real juice from a real fruit squash is like a concentrate. with a tiny bit of real juice in it.
5:12 pm
zoozzoom
Or the poor persons version of real fruit juice :-)
5:12 pm
Soodle
And I am eating a Cadbury's Curly-Wurly right now..... (Google should explain).... :-)
5:12 pm
NatashaW
It's the Brit version of SunnyD
5:13 pm
NatashaW
As long as you're not having Marmite Soodle, we can stay friends :-)
5:13 pm
zoozzoom
Hey and what is wrong with marmite!
5:13 pm
zoozzoom
<---- Loves Marmite.
5:13 pm
MollyL
<---Mind went straight to the gutter on Curly-Wurly
5:14 pm
zoozzoom
I even put a capital letter on it :-)
5:14 pm
MollyL
Sorry, I can't fathom why people like yeast paste
5:14 pm
zoozzoom
Curly wurly are lovely even though they have shrunk to half the size they used to be.
5:14 pm
NatashaW
Guess you have to have been born a Brit to love it... I only married one, which didn't suffice to help me acquire the taste
5:15 pm
NatashaW
That, and fruit cake, continue to elude me as to why folks eat them
5:15 pm
MollyL
Oh, now I am laughing even more about "tiny curly-wurlys"
5:15 pm
zoozzoom
It tastes devine and it is full of all the vitamin Bs
5:16 pm
zoozzoom
Oh my word fruit cake is delish also!
5:16 pm
Soodle
Point of order..... Squash is NOTHING like SunnyD. SunnyD is the potable version of marmite (note lack of capital letters). Both equally vile.
5:16 pm
NatashaW
No relation - SunnyD is a fake orange drink -
5:16 pm
zoozzoom
I ams eeing you babblers in a whole new light here :-)
5:16 pm
MollyL
<---Thinks Zoom probably likes spotted dick too
5:17 pm
NatashaW
together with some curly-wurly Molly?
5:17 pm
zoozzoom
With custard yes please.
5:18 pm
NatashaW
Guess we all like what we were brought up to like...
5:18 pm
Soodle
Oh, Zooz! You too have noticed the shrinkage in chocolate bars? Molly!! Cease your tittering at link between shrinkage & Curly-Wurlys!!!!
5:19 pm
zoozzoom
No don't stop I was rather enjoying the tease lol
5:19 pm
zoozzoom
Nope, NatashaW I was given broadbeans when I was young...I hated them. I love them now!
5:20 pm
zoozzoom
Although I still hate celery.
5:20 pm
NatashaW
That was me with asparagus Zooz... despised them as a kid, now I love them. But perhaps the early exposure helped to condition us for later liking??
5:21 pm
Soodle
Kudos to Zooz for dragging the chat back up out of the gutter. Well done Sir!
5:21 pm
zoozzoom
Oh yes with hollandaise sauce, NatashW!
5:28 pm
zoozzoom
Well think I will try and retire for the evening. Have dosed myself up with Nightnurse so hoping I will not wake up untill the morning. Happy babbling everyone!
5:29 pm
Soodle
Night night Zooz. :-)
