Thanks lickety!
12:20 am
mich_pdx
hey, M - nice to see you here on this wet Friday
12:20 am
cybernan
ty lickety - i'm going to need that list. Half way and slowing down all ready
12:21 am
m9f9l
It's not as wet here as it has been! Now it's just that ol' drizzle I grew up with :) But it was downpours for a couple days.
12:22 am
mich_pdx
I had to go to Vancouver today, and boy howdy! it was raining buckets!!
12:22 am
cybernan
Vancouver WA or BC?
12:22 am
mich_pdx
Vancouver, WA
12:23 am
m9f9l
I'm glad it wasn't over here today, because my daughter who lives just across the river had my grandson's bday today..and the bridge is closed on weekends, so we had to take the long way round.
12:23 am
mich_pdx
I'm in Portland - but grew up in Seattle (and I love visiting BC)
12:23 am
m9f9l
INothing like driving 45 minutes to an hour just to get back to where you can see home from the other side. ugh.
12:24 am
mich_pdx
yep, that is annoying!
12:24 am
m9f9l
mich and I actually went to school together in Seattle as kids.
12:25 am
cybernan
why is the bridge closed on weekends m9?
12:25 am
m9f9l
But it was a nice bday.
12:26 am
m9f9l
Big maintenance job. Will be closed on weekends until memorial day 2022.
12:26 am
mich_pdx
that's a long time
12:28 am
m9f9l
It's harder for my daughter, because we're the "big town" for her community. But they really only have to come over on the weekend for church. But my Son-In-Law works over here, and sometimes during those times.
12:28 am
m9f9l
It is a long time. But it's been needing it.
12:28 am
cybernan
Isn't it annoying when they take so long for these projects? We've had delays and one way traffic for what seems like forever while the Rogers Pass Hwy is being upgraded (think they are almost finished now). Of course all work is done during the summer months because at that elevation there is snow around from October til May
12:29 am
m9f9l
Yeah. They're doing it on the weekends because there is a lot of commuting travel on it. At least I think that's the reason.
12:45 am
m9f9l
I am kind of stuck with 36 to go.
12:45 am
cybernan
43 here and off to bed - goodnight everyone :)
12:46 am

Good day to all.
7:04 am
Scrabbler
Dan, your #8 is racking up goals quickly. How long do you think his career will continue?
7:06 am
dan2bit
he is in the first year of a new five year contract. I think he will finish it, but he will be 41 then. He's amazing, but he's no Gordie How :-)
7:07 am
Scrabbler
Well, our Sabres beat the Oilers last night. Our young team gives us hope. And the new coach.
7:08 am
dan2bit
I do think he will join the 800 goal club, and pass Howe, but I don't think he will catch Gretzky. If not for the covid seasons and the 2012-2013 lockout, maybe he would
7:08 am
dan2bit
Go Sabres Go
7:11 am
Scrabbler
Gretzky is likely unreachable.
7:19 am
hokie carla
I saw Gretzky play once - in a softball game in The Bahamas
7:20 am
Scrabbler
I bet he was having fun.
7:22 am
hokie carla
it was great - michael jordan used to have a celebrity golf tournament every Jan and we ended up there the same weekend at least 2x. that time we found out they were doing a softball game and we went. so much fun.
7:22 am
MollyL
Wow, the mobile home can even make it to The Bahamas

MollyL
Three hi's
2:40 pm
joym999
It's a 3 hi kinda day
2:41 pm
joym999
Hey, what's the point of the "my friends" tab?
2:42 pm
joym999
Like what happens when you add people to "my friends?" Do they come visit, bringing cookies?
2:43 pm
hokie carla
I don't know, joy. you haven't brought me any cookies yet.
2:44 pm
joym999
well, did you add me to "my friends?"
2:44 pm
joym999
try it and maybe you'll get cookies
2:44 pm
hokie carla
yes! you've been there a while
2:45 pm
joym999
I didn't know that. **blushing**
2:46 pm
joym999
OK, next time I'm in your 'hood, I promise you I'll drop by with cookies.
2:46 pm
hokie carla
it's okay, most of my friends don't know they're my friends. that's in real life too.
2:48 pm
joym999
Seriously, though, does the friends list here serve any function, other than making you feel better about the ridiculous amount of time you spend playing this game?
2:49 pm
hokie carla
I can see when people I'm "friendly" with are online without scrolling through the whole Who's Online.
2:49 pm
joym999
ok, that's vaguely useful.
2:50 pm
MollyL
The friend's list will show you who is online without scrolling through the whole Who's Online list. Or people you would rather avoid.
2:50 pm
joym999
Maybe I should get myself some friends, then.
2:50 pm
MollyL
Sorry, I just repeated what Carla said
2:51 pm
hokie carla
and you can click on their profiles if they're not online, otherwise you wouldn't find them
2:51 pm
MollyL
Yeah, you can find profiles on the rankings page
2:52 pm
hokie carla
yeah, but then you have to scroll through all that and it's not alphabetical
2:53 pm
MollyL
You can CNTRL + F and search the rankings page. Amd profiles show when you click the pink, blue or grey "persoj" icon next to the name
2:54 pm
hokie carla
interesting on the search
2:54 pm
MollyL
Or however you FIND with those Mac thingys
2:54 pm

uh oh. Am I on ruru's list? Don't answer that question, ruru.
3:06 pm
rururocks
nope.. you are not joy.. you seem perfectly nice to me
3:09 pm
rururocks
there's really just a few.. but mostly they're trolls

8:36 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i usually have to get help from morewords to find the last few weird ones
8:41 pm
Sophie512
how is morewords superior to word hippo
8:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
word hippo, isn't that more of a thesaurus? morewords will give you words such as: 6 letter word starting with mac, much more useful for boggle
8:44 pm
Sophie512
no, look at word hippo sometimes....you can pick number of letters, starts with, or other options......then the letters
8:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hmmm, will do
8:44 pm

hoping to distract you till I can catch up.....before I just give up

8:51 pm
Sophie512
duh thanks :)
8:53 pm
MollyL
And morewords is great. If you are looking for mi8 you type in mi------ and it gives you all of your options. The more letters you use, the better the search.
8:55 pm
MollyL
In the case of mi8, if you typed mis------ it would be better
8:56 pm
MollyL
I don't care for word hippo
8:56 pm
Sophie512
Molly L thanks....I was just wondering what made it better than Word Hippo
8:58 pm
