12:35 am

harpjane

12:36 am

12:36 am

Lizlin

All's fine here - thanks

12:39 am

mab

oh no, how awful.

12:41 am

mab

so much really bad weather events this season...

12:44 am

ursh

here in Durban we have more than double the amount of summer rain than usual - rained almost every day since October

12:44 am

ursh

lots of flooding and damage in some areas

12:45 am

mab

oh, you've really been needing that, yes? have friend in capetown

12:45 am

mab

oh, but flooding... so dangerous.

12:47 am

ursh

apparently we are in the el nina cycle which brings more than average rainfall

12:49 am

mab

wow. my friend has been without enough rain for, it seems like, several years. makes one wonder if cycles are more severe due to climate change.

12:50 am

ursh

Cape Town has winter rainfall and things were much better during the winter for them - got a good amount of rain and crisis was averted somewhat

12:50 am

mab

but I know nothing. are you well away from flooding, ursh?

12:51 am

ursh

yes we are OK here - no rivers nearby and not low lying

12:53 am

mab

I expect my friend's gardens are blooming wildly. when her son was a little boy he sold bouquets for pocket money. and eggs.

12:55 am

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

8:52 am

hurshy

has anyone got the right-hand A words?

8:53 am

welki

nope

8:53 am

mattygroves

I do, but only thanks to Morewords. Ap6/27 and AP7/40. Very weird words

8:53 am

BzznBea

She's doing well, but she complains about the cold. She is busy reworking her postcard collection.

8:54 am

hurshy

thanks matty :)

8:54 am

hurshy

6 left now. 1-0-1-2-2

8:54 am

mattygroves

May I have stats for any 8, please?

8:55 am

welki

she had the biologic treatments? glad to hear she's okay - i remember when you bought the new sleeves for her collection

8:55 am

hurshy

an8/50, part of the um, whatchamacallit where the cells divide and stuff

8:55 am

hokie carla

an8/50

8:56 am

hurshy

i always get mitosis and meiosis mixed up

8:56 am

mattygroves

Mitosis is normal cell division, meiosis is sex cell division (I think)

8:57 am

hurshy

see that's just it - you THINK but it is so easy to mix the two up, lol

8:57 am

BzznBea

She has not had the biologic. We are waiting for her next doctor appt to get the paperwork done to see if she can qualify for assistance with the cost.

8:57 am

mattygroves

Thanks!

8:58 am

BzznBea

the na8 is very similar to the ap's

8:58 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

8:58 am

hurshy

thank you bea!!!

8:59 am

hurshy

those words are so hard to even TYPE, my fingers are like, "you want what letter after what now?"

8:59 am

mattygroves

Haaa - yes!

8:59 am

hurshy

well if the last 7 and 8 i need are a pair, then they must start with P

9:00 am

BzznBea

They are not a pair

9:00 am

hurshy

ratsies

9:00 am

welki

(muttering under my breath that medicines should be fully covered, both there and here)

9:01 am

hokie carla

well I'm glad I took your advice, matty, and looked up those AP words. and thank you bea for the N nudge or I'd never have gotten that.

9:01 am

BzznBea

I agree. Big pharma and insurance are terrible.

9:02 am

hokie carla

42 left here after first pass, but I have HOET

9:02 am

mattygroves

So glad I live here! Prescription medicine is all under a flat fee, and free if you're over 60, have a low income, are a child or have certain medical conditions

9:03 am

hokie carla

I'm actually more jealous of you not having to see drug ads, matty

9:03 am

hokie carla

those are literally the worst

9:03 am

mattygroves

For now, anyway - unless Boris gets his way

9:03 am

BzznBea

We decided to cash out her life insurance policy. It was ridiculous paying a montly premium for an 82 yo.

9:04 am

BzznBea

The company gave us a big run around.

9:04 am

hurshy

i saw this funny meme the other day where it said, "the next time someone tells me that black hairstyles are unprofessional, i'm showing them this" and it was a pic of Boris

9:04 am

welki

shame on them :(

9:05 am

mattygroves

Oh, one of my favourite ever anti- drug ads (a law firm specialising in suing drug manufacturers) in the US recommended you call 1-800-BAD-DRUG if you'd ever suffered a number of complications from a certain medications - one of which included 'death.'

9:06 am

mattygroves

Hurshy, I saw that on FB! Made me chuckle

9:06 am

hokie carla

of course when I die I'm going to use them to sue

9:08 am

hurshy

well that's for the family members to be able to sue of course :)

9:08 am

dan2bit

morning all! lickety on holiday?

9:09 am

hokie carla

9:13 am

BzznBea

Not a science word

9:13 am

hurshy

10:03 am

MollyL

I met a night shift nurse who told me she tried playing this game once. She said that the chat people were weird. They talked about monkeys finding words and for people who played a word game, none of them could spell chocolate. : D

10:03 am

dcseain

cybernan

we will be back to how it was in the beginning :)

12:32 pm

penquis

yes...molly heard it from liz, i think....

12:33 pm

cybernan

I hope he had his files backed up on an auxilary drive.

12:34 pm

cybernan

*also a lesson in preparedness -- buy a new powerbar with a circuit breaker every few years.

12:35 pm

penquis

yes....hope he did, too....

12:36 pm

cybernan

He is computer savvy - I'm sure all except the very recent were probably backed up

12:41 pm

1:00 pm

cybernan

72 Temple Owl

glad to hear about lickety, in the sense that i will be circumspect re playing in the short term.

1:01 pm

penquis

i think i have two an 4 words from that A....

1:02 pm

penquis

i certainly will be checking Lickety before playing in the coming days...

1:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

but back then, many people did not finish. it was a real challenge

1:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

learning the little oddities helped, that took a couple of months.

1:03 pm

cybernan

yes there are, sorry - still missing one from there

1:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

then the player brandy jack made a clue list.

1:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:05 pm

penquis

1:06 pm

penquis

no, I cannot imagine even starting a big grid like that without a list...

1:06 pm

penquis

i have the AS...wondering if that is your missing A word, nan....it was my last from that A....

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:16 pm

cybernan

1:16 pm

cybernan

1:19 pm

cybernan

oh, thought you said the 8 was not related to the 6

1:19 pm

penquis

my 1:16 clue was for PH 8....

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:21 pm

penquis

oh no, bob saget dead

6:55 pm

godthaab

Is there a reason I can't copy my words into Lickety today?

6:56 pm

hokie carla

mab, the numbers after is the hurshian code. it means I have 1 4 letter word left, 3 5's, and 4 6's

6:56 pm

7:05 pm

hokie carla

what??

7:05 pm

Gillie

No evidence of foul play or drugs, they say

7:06 pm

hokie carla

I think I just thought that because it seems every time a celebrity is found dead in a hotel it is OD.

7:29 pm

MollyL

You are welcome Nrkii. Just passing on Broll's work.

7:30 pm

harpjane

That was back in the day when you didn't have so many people driving. It's easier to walk in a blizzard than drive!

7:31 pm

Nobody lived more than 10 blocks from school. On snow days we didn't have to walk home for lunch. But we still had to wear dresses!

my neighborhood was at the top of 2 hills, first one was shorter but steeper, second one was less steep but way longer. the school bus usually couldn't make it up the 2nd but there were a few times it couldn't make it up the 1st, so we had to walk up both. It was bad enough just walking up the one.

crazy to think we came home so many times with snow on the road...now they send kids home if there are a few flakes falling

Carla, I think that's because so many people rely on driving and busses these days. Traveling to and from school is more complicated

no, where I'm from only a handful of kids could walk to school. almost everyone had to ride buses.

we only had 3 high schools in our county. mine was the biggest and only had 4 feeder elementary schools, so way more spread out than 10 blocks. in fact, there are no blocks.
