i don't think you had to say, freep. as far as i know, we're all highly familiar with that system.

12:47 am

mab

highly.

12:48 am

justafreep

The FSV Encyclopedia is a number one best seller on Amazon, so I'm not surprised, really. But I take no chances....

5:23 am

ItalianGreyhound

clueless on the badland

5:36 am

Scrabbler

A badland, hm.

5:37 am

ItalianGreyhound

responding to Mae at 5:12. Hi, Scrabbler!

5:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi IG. 5 degrees here, come on up.

5:39 am

ItalianGreyhound

let me get my thermals on first

5:41 am

Scrabbler

I need to fill up my gas tank today.

5:41 am

ItalianGreyhound

expecting a shortage?

5:42 am

Scrabbler

No. On Tuesdays I work at a clinic on an Indian reservation where the gas is 40-50 cents less per gallon.

5:43 am

ItalianGreyhound

makes sense - you live an amazing life, btw

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I try to remind myself of that.

5:45 am

ItalianGreyhound

I'll remind you from time to time (for what that matters)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

The pandemic has revealed the ignorant, disrespectful, and foolish people.

5:50 am

ItalianGreyhound

look for the good and have fun - thats all Ive got

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I focus on the good and hope the others will think about what I say.

5:57 am

lynxxx

Having spent most of today in hospital, I just want to commend Scrabbler and every medical person that looks after us in these awful times. You are always cheerful and kind, hiding all the work pressures you are all under....THANK YOU SO MUCH.

5:59 am

ItalianGreyhound

Ditto :)

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Lynxxx, I work in primary care so am not seeing the horrors of health care workers in emergency departments and ICUs.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

I am stressed and anxious and cannot imagine the severity of illness and frequent deaths that they see.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Our stress is dealing with people that are anti-science--these people are anti-mask, anti-vax, and anti-regulation. They scream at us, curse at us.

6:03 am

lynxxx

I know Scrabbs but the 'ripples' spread out to you too. I was not in ED and ICUs but could see it clearly in staff (that weren't out because of Omicron!)

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I read about CoV 1-2 hours daily and know the realities--long COVID, brain matter loss in survivors.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

As a scientist it is fascinating to learn about CoV as the pandemic evolves, but as a human it is so sad.

6:07 am

lynxxx

I have to say goodnight, bye everyone and thanks again Scrabbs

6:07 am

Scrabbler

TY, Lynxxx. Sleep well.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must leave for work in 10 minutes. Enjoy the day.

6:13 am

Uneaixoise

Take care, Scrabs....sending hugs.....

7:49 am

MollyL

Sorry for the double double post post

7:50 am

jmcnrick

I just thought you had an echo where you are. . .

7:52 am

MollyL

No, my computer at work is possessed today.

7:52 am

jmcnrick

OMG! Where's a priest when you need one?

7:54 am

MollyL

Hopefully not climbing a staircase at Georgetown.

7:58 am

hurshy

phantom: telemetry

7:58 am

hurshy

top row grey!!

7:58 am

jmcnrick

hehe my boy had a friend who went down that staircase on a mountain bike. He got to the bottom without mishap and but then admitted it had been stupid so none of the rest of them tried it

7:58 am

BzznBea

I have the first and last column grey.

7:59 am

jmcnrick

well done bzzn

7:59 am

MollyL

Um stupid...very. He's lucky he didn't break his neck.

8:00 am

mael

it's like my kids when I ask them to stop doing something dangerous: "but mama, I haven't gotten hurt yet!"
yeah buddy, YET

8:03 am

jmcnrick

I actually had a friend who, when a boy, sledded down the most dangerous hill in his neighborhood and broke his arm. While his mom took him to the emergency room to get patched up, second brother went down the hill with similar results.

8:04 am

jmcnrick

while mom took the second kid to the ER and leaving strict instructions no one else slide down the hill, the third brother did it with the same results.

8:04 am

BzznBea

That poor mom.

8:05 am

jmcnrick

when she took the third kid in the doctors took him aside and asked him if his mom was abusing him! Three kids in one day appeared suspicious.

8:06 am

mael

I think I would actually have died of mortification bringing the third kid

8:06 am

jmcnrick

I know what you mean mael. . .

8:07 am

mael

those boys better have been on their best behavior for the next 12 years or so

8:07 am

jmcnrick

well I only know one of them and he is a delightful and sweet man

8:07 am

MollyL

So what is the thought process there. "Oh look, he slid down that hill and broke his arm. I think I'll do it too."?

8:08 am

jmcnrick

pretty much molls with an "I can do it better" attached

8:09 am

MollyL

The y-chromosome causes such odd behavior.

8:11 am

hurshy

yeah did you see the article recently that said that if you have a female surgeon, her patients all do equally well after surgery, but if it's a male surgeon, on average, their female patients have significantly more negative outcomes.

8:11 am

72 Temple Owl

okay it's official...i will not be setting foot outside today. nice size grid.

8:12 am

MollyL

I wish I had that option

8:14 am

jmcnrick

I think some of it is socialization rather than innate.

8:16 am

mael

it's definitely socialization, my daughter is WAY WAY more likely to try something dumb and dangerous than my son

8:16 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. my niece is permanently working from home, which astounds me. i believe my old agency is still working from home. next will come the job cuts.

8:17 am

doseffing

Explanation of the teenaged and preteenaged male understanding of the universe ....

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

heck, if i could have done that i would never have left.

8:17 am

doseffing

If I cog down the hill successfully then I"m better than him.

8:17 am

mael

if there's a good thing to come out of this pandemic it's some workplaces finally realizing that many jobs can be done just as well from home

8:18 am

doseffing

If I go down the hill unsucessfully then I'm braver than him because I did it when I knew what could happen.

8:18 am

doseffing

If I don't go down the hill they'll call lme chicken

8:18 am

doseffing

I'm a man and mom is not the boss of me.

8:18 am

doseffing

There's four stupid reasons for doing it

8:18 am

jmcnrick

haha you sound exactly like my boy at that age except for the chicken issue

8:20 am

jmcnrick

he is still telling me things he did that he didn't tell me about at the time. . . he says he has a statute of limitations that has to expire before he will tell me about something dangerous or stupid he did.

8:24 am

MollyL

Oh I had a conversation with my older two that was like that. I had to tell them to stop after a while.

8:25 am

doseffing

I use the stories in school to try to persuade them to not do stupid things because I can say I did them and they were stupid and I was excessively lucky to not get caught too badly. Don't press your luck because I know idiots who were not as lucky as me.

8:32 am

MollyL

Oh and kids often listen to cautionary tales from their teachers. Not.

8:45 am

jmcnrick

sometimes they do if it's the cool teacher. I bet dose is cool

8:46 am

jmcnrick

my mother was the cool teacher and at my 50th HS reunion people kept coming up to me to tell me how much she changed their lives. . . and she was an English teacher!

8:47 am

MollyL

I wouldn't know JMC. There is no such thing as "the cool teacher" in a Catholic School.

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

why are the e words so elusive today?

8:48 am

jmcnrick

ah the nuns in the movies who were so cool as to sing rock are a myth

8:49 am

MollyL

As are the Ninja Nuns on Netflix

8:50 am

jmcnrick

I guess none of them fly either. . .

8:50 am

MollyL

No, damn it

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

sadly, no

8:50 am

jmcnrick

oooo I missed the ninja nuns!

8:50 am

jmcnrick

are you sure they are Catholic and not Buddhist nuns?

8:51 am

MollyL

It's actually not a bad show. However I kept laughing at the very idea of ninja nuns.

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my, this woman is making chocolate chip muffins with 5 cups of spinach and avocado instead of oil...

8:51 am

jmcnrick

blech!

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

chocolate is very forgiving but still...

8:53 am

MollyL

Definitely Catholic and the show is called Warrior Nun

8:53 am

jmcnrick

I tried that kind of cooking when the boy was little and it was my turn to bring the muffins in . . . and the kids spotted every time.

8:53 am

MollyL

Oh my God, that recipe sounds disgusting

8:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't feel like watching anything other than The Nanny and I Love Lucy for the same reason.

8:53 am

hempshow

did they at least call the ninja nuns nunjas?

8:53 am

jmcnrick

I will look for that next time it is netflix's turn to be my streaming network

8:54 am

hempshow

i'm jumping into the convo pretty late here

8:54 am

jmcnrick

lol hemp

8:54 am

MollyL

Alas, they did not

8:54 am

jmcnrick

clearly a missed opportunity

You are on fire, Kap. =)

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

but her kids LOVE them...

8:56 am

BzznBea

Good morning, lindy.

8:57 am

MollyL

Why do those kinds of recipes always start with "My kids love helping me make these..."

8:57 am

jmcnrick

they love them because they aren't allowed real sweets to compare them with

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

anyone have anything beginning with wr?

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i agree, je

8:57 am

phaeton

no wr's

8:57 am

BzznBea

No wr's

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i can just imagine what her kitchen looks like afterwards

72 Temple Owl

8:59 am

MollyL

This reminds me of the Montessori teacher I used to know that told the story of the kid who was not allowed sweets who stole sweets from all the kids in the class lunchboxes. They found her gorging on them in the janitor's closet.

9:00 am

jmcnrick

a way will be found. . .

9:01 am

MollyL

It's a really good story to show how keeping something from a child makes it all the more attractive. Especially if all the other kids are allowed to have it.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

a friend who is anorexic and vegetarian had a cake for her daughter's first or second birthday. when we went into the dining room to sing and cut it, she discovered the kid with a fistful of cake shoved into her mouth. mother freaked out.

9:04 am

jmcnrick

my boy, on the other hand, just told me about a slow cook beef recipe with ranch dressing mix and a stick of butter. . . he says it is great

9:04 am

MollyL

And that is the kind of thing that creates food issues for women.

9:04 am

BzznBea

Mississippi Pot Roast.

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

whenever i've stumbled on the pioneer woman, i gag at her use of butter (as well as her deethnisixing of recipes)

9:05 am

jmcnrick

oh is that it bzzn?

9:06 am

MollyL

Her what of recipes?

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

daughter does not have food issues, but has substance abuse issues. Both kids do.

9:07 am

jmcnrick

making everything midwestern rather than italian or mexican

9:07 am

72 Temple Owl

she de-ethnisizes them. it's the new trend, make up your own words.

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. not all of us have families that work on a ranch.

9:09 am

jmcnrick

Well Mississippi has done well by me for recipes. My great aunt handed down Mississippi Eggplant casserole

de-ethnicization? help

9:09 am

jmcnrick

I think that word needs a C in the middle TO

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

spell, please

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, we are literate people, even if we do coin words.

9:09 am

jmcnrick

how about she strips whatever is outside her culture from the dish

9:10 am

BzznBea

PW has a great recipe for comfort meatballs. One of my fams favs.

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

interesting

9:11 am

jmcnrick

some of her food is okay. but none of it is very interesting IMHO

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

that is why she still has a line a walmart when others have been banished. so bland, nothing offensive to subject to cancel culture. yet.

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

she does have a slight accent, though...:)

9:12 am

jmcnrick

haha I think cancel culture is supposed to work against the White culture TO

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i thought it was just against anything you do not like.

9:13 am

jmcnrick

I have assumed she is from midwest scandinavian stock. But maybe Mennonite and German.

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

want to lay odds on whether or not her contract will be renewed? I bet we will see her line at Ollie's Outlet

9:14 am

jmcnrick

I think cancel culture is something that is thrown up when anyone suggest a sacred cow may actually be a snake in the grass

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

she is a ca girl

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

ollies is the graveyard or the former celebrity products. like paula deen

9:15 am

jmcnrick

I haven't watched her in years so no clue. just making wild guesses

9:15 am

BzznBea

She was born and raided in OK

9:15 am

BzznBea

Raised

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

whose grass does not have a snake- or at least a snakeskin- upon examination?

9:16 am

jmcnrick

the home cook cookoff show was trying to redeem Paula Dean

9:16 am

72 Temple Owl

okay...no comment.

9:16 am

jmcnrick

thanks for the info bzzn

9:18 am

BzznBea

She has made enough money that even if her product line does go to Ollies, she will not lose anything. And her husband's family is wealthy enought from cattle and oil.

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

great marketing, there

9:20 am

BzznBea

Need to get busy. Last 20 for later.

9:21 am

jmcnrick

well she won the next master chef show years ago. . .I actually watched some of that year. . .I remember thinking she was boring and was surprised when she won.

9:21 am

jmcnrick

I think it was her expert branding of herself that turned the tide

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

so time to see what can be accomplished via phone and web today, before cleaning. happily, no pipes frozen.

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

yes and she describes her recipes as if she invented them and they are the bomb.

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

even if bastardized.

9:23 am

jmcnrick

now there is the right description! hahaha

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes it is. thank you.

9:24 am

72 Temple Owl

i refuse to give in on the e words. bbl to hunt for them

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling

9:27 am

jmcnrick

bye TO

9:29 am

hurshy

yeah those right E words are tough, i only see ex4

9:30 am

jmcnrick

I have an ey4

9:32 am

jmcnrick

ah mine are all on the left e. nm

9:35 am

MollyL

How does one de-ethnicize a recipe?

9:38 am

jmcnrick

you make enchiladas using white bread for tortillas and ketchup for salsa

9:40 am

jmcnrick

you make them in rolls in the bottom of a pan, pour on the ketchup and top them with Velveeta and bake them in the oven until they are bubbling

9:41 am

jmcnrick

in-chee-lay-das

9:45 am

MollyL

Oh that is just disgusting. I've looked at that Pioneer site maybe once and was not at all impressed.

9:45 am

mattygroves

Ewwwww

9:45 am

mattygroves

The only thing we used Velveeta for back in the day was to hide pills for the dogs.

9:47 am

MollyL

We used it for what we called "White Trash Cheese Dip" in college

9:48 am

jmcnrick

Velveeta is a pretty good cheese product and mixed with some sharp cheddar makes good mac and cheese

9:48 am

jmcnrick

it melts better than most cheeses

9:50 am

jmcnrick

and I understand it makes killer crab dip. . . but I haven't tried to do that

9:51 am

jmcnrick

now I am hungary. . .

9:51 am

hokie carla

mmm, I like to add a block of cream cheese to a small velveeta and some browned sausage or ground beef and a can of rotel. yummy.

9:53 am

hokie carla

just went to pick up my walmart order. they were out of 9 of my items. so now I've gotta see if I can get a harris teeter order today or tomorrow.

9:53 am

MollyL

That is more or less the White Trash Cheese Dip. Those Hanky Panky

9:53 am

MollyL

Hanky Panky's are good too

9:54 am

hokie carla

I think the cream cheese classes it up a bit ðŸ¤£

9:54 am

MollyL

What in the hell is going on with the grocery stores? They are out of stock on so many things.

9:54 am

hokie carla

supply chain

9:55 am

jmcnrick

and yet my CSA of unwanted food has no problem filling up boxes

9:56 am

hokie carla

what does that mean?

9:56 am

MollyL

And you can't get same-day delivery anymore. I don't believe the supply chain BS.

9:57 am

jmcnrick

this CSA was created to take food that would other wise be thrown out and deliver it to members like any other CSA

9:58 am

jmcnrick

instacart will give you same day delivery. but I hate the fact that for every item they give me a plastic bag. So if I order 10 items I get 10 plastic bags

9:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, I was going to try out the walmart delivery but it looked like I could get it yesterday but I couldn't. then I realized they wouldn't deliver mr. homie's beer, so I just did curbside.

9:58 am

hurshy

it could be the grocery stores have a lot of workers out sick with omicron

9:58 am

hokie carla

but what does CSA mean?

9:59 am

jmcnrick

hungaryharvest.net

9:59 am

hurshy

so they're just not able to restock as well or bring deliveries or prepare orders for pickup

9:59 am

hokie carla

hungary or hungry?

9:59 am

jmcnrick

Community Supported Agriculture

10:00 am

jmcnrick

haha hungryharvest.net

10:01 am

rururocks

do you pay hungary harvest by chech?

10:01 am

hurshy

czech you mean :)

10:01 am

hokie carla

ah, all I could think was customer service agreement or account

10:01 am

jmcnrick

it had a pretty rocky start for me since there was no way to pick and choose among the options so I got a pound of watermelon radishes which should just never have been planted in the first

10:01 am

hokie carla

ru sliding in with the puns

10:01 am

rururocks

yes czech ;D

10:02 am

jmcnrick

but now can customize it with in a narrow range

10:02 am

hurshy

and of course you'd buy your turkey from them

10:02 am

jmcnrick

I was going to ignore the pun until he got it right

10:02 am

rururocks

blew my own joke

10:03 am

jmcnrick

no but you can get vegan goulash [hehehe]

10:03 am

hurshy

lol

10:04 am

Mary

Thank you MollyL for the list again today....

10:04 am

jmcnrick

any supply chain issues with your wine, ru?

10:05 am

jmcnrick

my local liquor store is suffering but I think it is in part their management since other liquor stores don't seek to be struggling as much

10:05 am

MollyL

Instacart is not that way with bags in Maryland. And we haven't had same-day delivery since before the holidays.

10:06 am

rururocks

there will be jm.. maybe time for me to retire then :D

10:06 am

jmcnrick

I tried Giant Peapod, too and had the same bag issue. But my instacart was at least same day.

10:06 am

rururocks

hardly any wine made here in California (North that is) in 2020

10:07 am

jmcnrick

I know the christmas trees were hurt by the 2008 recession

10:07 am

jmcnrick

economics has a long memory

10:08 am

rururocks

i think we should leave trees outside decorated and not chop them down and put them in the house.

10:08 am

MollyL

The live trees you buy on any given year were grown over 4 years ago.

10:08 am

MollyL

Everyone I know who gets a live tree had issues this year.

10:08 am

jmcnrick

I paid as much as I paid for a 10 tall tree for a 6 foot tall tree

10:08 am

jmcnrick

and some of them 10 or more years

10:09 am

jmcnrick

I will be eating mac and cheese in the PB

10:09 am

MollyL

That is a lovely sentiment Ru. Try explaining it to a kid at Christmas.

10:09 am

hurshy

yeah it's not so great environmentally for us to be chopping down all those trees. i now go with balsam/cedar scented candles to get that christmassy smell instead

10:10 am

jmcnrick

actually the planting and replanting of them is sustainable. the manufacture or plastic ones is not.

10:10 am

hurshy

ooh just randomly monkeyed an re7/36

10:10 am

MollyL

A Christmas tree lot plants one tree for every one cut down so I think environmentally it's okay.

10:11 am

jmcnrick

further from my point of view I would rather support Canadian and US farmers over Chinese manufacturers

10:11 am

hurshy

i don't have room for any tree at the moment really so the last couple of years i have just hung lights on the top of the windows/french doors and then hung ornaments from the lights

10:11 am

hurshy

that makes sense jmc :)

10:14 am

jmcnrick

a couple of years I didn't buy one in time so I have one I made out of pcv pipe and green burlap ribbons. It is pretty two dimensional so I put it on the front porch in 2020 since no one was coming in my house.

10:14 am

hurshy

i suppose it may have been done already but

10:14 am

jmcnrick

sounds pretty hursh

10:14 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! the place into which one does not simply walk

Good morning everyone - interesting that you are just having supply issues in the stores now -- it has been that way here for a couple of months. All I can say is it helps to live in an area where there are over 100 estate wineries :D

10:16 am

jmcnrick

it has been happening some for a while cyber

10:17 am

10:27 am

MollyL

Okay everyone. You can stop holding your breath about Carla's grocery order. (I was more concerned about Mr. Carls's beer)

10:27 am

hurshy

did anyone else find more of the right E, besides the ex4?

10:28 am

MollyL

They are all ex

10:28 am

rururocks

ex6 and ex8

10:31 am

cybernan

not words that I know, for sure

10:31 am

rururocks

it involves thrusting nan

10:32 am

hokie carla

oh, I got the beer from the walmart order, never fear. funny, the lady said 'when's your birthday?" and I was thinking, they've never asked me before to confirm who i was that way. is that on my account somewhere? so I told her the month and day and she was just staring at me...

10:32 am

cybernan

if you say so...

10:32 am

hokie carla

then I added the year, and she said "we just have to ask. I was sure you were old enough." only then did it occur to me it was for the beer.

10:39 am

hokie carla

these T's are trouble, right?

10:40 am

hokie carla

and is anyone else singing george strait right now?

10:41 am

10:42 am

hurshy

*am dumb today*

10:43 am

hokie carla

which T are those? I only have 1 right upper T and need 2 if I want a shot at HOET

10:43 am

hurshy

i think they are both from the right

10:43 am

MollyL

The ex words are the opposite of what you do with a card at an ATM and past tense

10:43 am

hurshy

and so are the shorter ones that go with them

10:43 am

hokie carla

just found a TE7/8 from right

10:43 am

hurshy

ahhh thank you molly!

10:44 am

hurshy

yeah hokie - the others are a 6 & 8, and are more normal

10:44 am

cybernan

a common word carla?

10:44 am

hokie carla

opposite of withdraw?

10:44 am

MollyL

It was a guy thing for Ru to clue about thrusting

10:44 am

MollyL

Carla, you don't withdraw your card at an ATM

10:44 am

hokie carla

ha, of course I even said the te6 in the chat earlier

10:45 am

hokie carla

when you stick something in, like an ATM card into the M, you are ___. this is out.

10:56 am

Wow, how do you guys have time for all these word games?

11:25 am

hokie carla

wordle doesn't take nearly as long as babble, you only get 6 tries

11:25 am

That took about two minutes.

11:39 am

rururocks

nudibranchs you mean

11:40 am

jmcnrick

he won this year as he got me an Exxon ad from the 70s where they brag about having enough energy to melt an iceberg which I had see when it was first printed and thought was pretty stupid thing to brag about at the time.

11:41 am

jmcnrick

that ad now sells for hundreds of dollars but he got it for $11 because it was still in the Life Magazine.

You can always substitute homemade creamed soup

12:05 pm

BzznBea

My house is still cold.

12:06 pm

BzznBea

Yes, but I'd rather eat homemade creamed soup.

12:08 pm

MollyL

When you don't want to used canned creamed soup you are basically substituting chicken broth and some fat source like sour cream or cream cheese and some butter

12:09 pm

BzznBea

Yes. This recipe calls for a white sauce.

12:14 pm

MollyL

Which is basically what cream soup is, flavored with chicken, mushrooms, celery, etc.

12:14 pm

Thank you a ton Molly for the list!

12:17 pm

I am just passing it along. Gillie did all the work.

no idea, molly....don't even know what that is...

12:42 pm

Probably when lickety's went down.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

I don't know. I remember someone else had their own site the last time lickety's was down but I didn't have the link nor remember who it was.

12:43 pm

MollyL

No, dfm's site has nothing to do with Lickety

12:45 pm

BzznBea

Any idea who dfm is?

12:45 pm

hokie carla

just another player IIRC

12:47 pm

BzznBea

I do know there is a program out there that solves the puzzle.

12:47 pm

hokie carla

the one I'm thinking of was same as lickety's as far as how you do it

12:48 pm

MollyL

There is a program out there that solves the puzzle and I was convinced that a certain long ago player used it because they finished so fast.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

I don't even understand why you'd play

12:49 pm

BzznBea

To keep up your points and placement.

12:49 pm

BzznBea

If there is a day you can't play.

12:50 pm

to impress people who don't even know who you are or care about how you do.....seems pointless to me....

to what end? in the long run you get nothing for your points and placement except maybe some fake praise from anonymous people on the internet.

12:51 pm

hokie carla

and by no means is my praise I heap upon finishers each day fake ðŸ˜œ

12:52 pm

MollyL

This is the link to dfm's site. It doesn't resolve for me:
https://tinyurl.com/3rkb4fsc

12:52 pm

hokie carla

yeah, still says loading for me

12:52 pm

hokie carla

maybe (s)he quit updating it?

12:53 pm

penquis

same here....

12:53 pm

MollyL

Carla, look at the flip. There are people who are ultra competitive about this game. I have no idea why. But they want to be FIRST to find it and FIRST to finish.

12:53 pm

penquis

i am competitive, but using a puzzle solver seems to defeat the purpose....

12:54 pm

hokie carla

exactly

12:54 pm

MollyL

It's likely that's it. That the player quit updating it. Believe it or not, people actually do lose interest in this game. Especially 24-year-olds.

12:54 pm

penquis

when i played a competitive form of this game online, there were a couple people who were suspected of using such programs....

12:55 pm

hokie carla

I just don't understand why cheating is more fun than actually playing the game

12:55 pm

MollyL

People who do things like that are just attention whores trying to gain praise from strangers.

12:55 pm

hokie carla

I guess

12:55 pm

penquis

it's the need to win and to have others admire that....sound familiar to anyone??...

12:56 pm

hokie carla

are you talking about yourself?

12:56 pm

MollyL

Are we EVER going to quit with the Trump stuff?

12:56 pm

hokie carla

ðŸ¤£

12:56 pm

hokie carla

oh, I didn't even know that's what pen was getting at, but it's not wrong.

12:56 pm

penquis

:oP

12:57 pm

Chris P

does anyone have the 2nd re7/36? My last word and just can't see it.

12:57 pm

penquis

i don't...bea has it if she is still here...

12:58 pm

MollyL

I swear we are going to be three Presidents down the line and people will STILL be bitching about Trump.

12:58 pm

penquis

i did not bitch about anything.....just made an observation....

12:58 pm

BzznBea

re + most of not less + Freud term

12:58 pm

Chris P

Nm just monkeyed it.

12:58 pm

penquis

ty, bea...

12:59 pm

penquis

and congrats, Chris....

12:59 pm

MollyL

Those are the kinds of things that make me go look for something else to do.

12:59 pm

Chris P

Thanks

12:59 pm

penquis

another word not in the dictionary....

12:59 pm

Jacula

Thanks for that last clue Bzz. 43 left to find now.

1:01 pm

Jacula

41 left now - just found a liquid measure and its plural that I really should have seen before!

1:02 pm

penquis

go, jac... ;o)

1:02 pm

Jacula

I'll have to go, as in vacate this seat soon - my dinner's nearly ready to go into the oven. :)

1:08 pm

mael

what are you making, jacula?

1:09 pm

Jacula

Nothing exciting tonight, mael. Just heating up a steak in pastry slice.

1:09 pm

penquis

i need a break....bbl to finish....bye all....

1:09 pm

Jacula

TTFN penquis.

1:17 pm

MollyL

Liquid measure and I'm thinking cup, ounce, gallon, pint and then I thought 'think Britz

1:17 pm

MollyL

Or Brit

1:18 pm

Jacula

Not an Imperial measure, Molly.

1:18 pm

hokie carla

steak in a pastry slice sounds very exciting to me

1:23 pm

Jacula

Would be if it was home-made, hokie-carla, but it's just a bought one I'm heating up.

1:25 pm

Jacula

I'm off for now. Happy Babbling all.x

1:31 pm

hi again - back from grocery shopping where half the shelves were empty because the supply trucks haven't come in since Friday. However I did manage to get everything on my list except for 3 things and with a couple of substitutions

2:34 pm

jmcnrick

well done cyber

2:44 pm

cybernan

I don't mind people calling long words at the flip (might never find them otherwise) and will call one myself on the rare occasion that I am first to find it. What I don't understand is call ing 6's or 7's when there are 30 of them.

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

haha I can see that would be annoying. especially since so many are just plurals

2:49 pm

cybernan

Still missing 8 x2 and would love to know what they are: ex, or, re, te, wo, ? ?

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

all except to I think

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

oh sorry I misread AGAIN looks like you are missing a second te8

2:51 pm

cybernan

yes I know but which two?

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

sorry i can be so dimwitted sometimes

2:51 pm

cybernan

ok - the te I have is part of a 6-8 combo

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

sorry I have given you all I know. I have ex and wo. :/

2:53 pm

jmcnrick

now I have the same te8

2:53 pm

cybernan

hate to tell you this, but it is an age thing, jmc -- why should you be any different :)

2:54 pm

cybernan

*have a peek at my profile - should give you a chuckle or two

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

ah you should read the article in the NY Times

2:55 pm

cybernan

I think the reason I find them so funny is that I can relate...

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

Oh I relate as well.

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

sorry it was the Guardian not NYT. tinyurl.com/yc5vf52w

found a druid queen in the grid

3:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

experiencing some ageism right now re charity work. while there's always a need to recruit new blood, there is also active bias re the older folks which contributes to a self-fulfilling prophecy

3:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

of older people not being capable

3:13 pm

ch1212

TO, so sorry to hear that. You might check into the RSVP program in your area -- specializes in us senior volunteers.

3:13 pm

hurshy

:(

3:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

je you certainly blow away that myth

3:14 pm

hokie carla

wait, not sure exactly what's happening. I thought most volunteers in charities were older because they are retired?

3:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, there may be lots of attitude adjustment now that labor is scarce

3:14 pm

doseffing

... and the young'uns really don't like it when you point out that their instructions don't work; are unclear; and have nothing to do with what you've asked them to explain.

3:14 pm

hokie carla

so they don't want your help is what you're saying?

3:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

not all. and even then, there is definitely a window. and definitely differing attitudes re preference

3:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

exactly. they just want $

3:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

that we DO have in abundance, so it is believed.

3:17 pm

ch1212

I recently stepped down as CEO (volunteer) of a non-profit that relies on volunteers, and I made sure every single one felt happy, supported and valued. I've also volunteered with people who treated me like a nuisance -- needless to say I didn't stick around. TO, there are so many opportunities that would cherish your gifts -- don't give up :)

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

I blow away what myth??

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't have time for any organization that does not value me

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh foot in mouth.

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

and you shouldn't TO there are plenty organizations in the world. . .

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

a myth that as we age we must sit in our rocking chairs.

3:19 pm

hokie carla

about this wo8, I got the impression it is a compound with crawly things, but not finding it. any help?

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

look at your list for two that go togehter, carla

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

haha I like my rocking chair but there is plenty to do. . . some of it from home

3:19 pm

ch1212

well, hokie if those crawly things started out like plants do...

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahahahaha

3:20 pm

hokie carla

so I'm starting it wrong?

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

well start with the crawly wo and plant'em

3:20 pm

doseffing

... nope

3:20 pm

ch1212

no, you are right about the crawly start

3:20 pm

hokie carla

ok, got it. thanks, village.

3:20 pm

hokie carla

could've sworn I tried that earlier

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

*reaches out to others and starts swaying* kum by ya my lord.

3:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to do some work, hardly cleaned anything today. it's the yearly paper cleanup plus. taking it inch by inch

3:21 pm

hokie carla

I cleaned a couple of bathrooms earlier

3:22 pm

hokie carla

3:23 pm

hokie carla

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:40 pm

hokie carla

3:45 pm

cybernan

thumbs down to the Aussie judge who did not uphold novac's deportation. What else could this man have done? He had several months to get vaccinated before the tournament and chose not to. Why on earth would any sports organization want a man with these values and morality representing their sport?

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

it aint over yet, cyber

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

he still has to be allowed to play against the organizations rules

3:47 pm

cybernan

found the other te 8 - any clues for the mo please?

3:48 pm

cybernan

too bad the other atheletes don't band together and say if he plays, we don't.

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

I think they should cyber

4:08 pm

jmcnrick

but I suspect they worry if they do people will say it is because they know he will beat them

4:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

there uis mo8?

4:09 pm

cybernan

apparently TO

4:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm..perhaps better tackled later, after dinner and zoom garden club meeting. first time zoom-er

4:13 pm
