12:17 am
gapeach1066@yaho
Stid, I did refresh.....same grid and clues as yesterday. Maybe later.
12:18 am
stidmama
it's because lickety can't load the clues immediately at flip. He needs to get the new grid first... and then load the clues for us when he can take a break from work...
12:18 am

I must depart for awhile. see ya'll later!

the tiles directly under the puzzle, why are there 2 of some letters? like there are 2 L's
12:40 am
stidmama
yes ADHD, they do, but not usually this time of year! LOL
12:40 am
jillibus

12:41 am

kimm...the letters below the grid mimic the location of the letters in the grid
12:41 am
jillibus
kimm, there are 2 Ls in the grid
12:41 am
stidmama
good question. some words can only be made starting in one or the other place.
12:41 am
stidmama
if a word could come from either, the protocol is to count it from the uppermost and left-most tile
12:41 am
Pinikula
the number behind the / = the number of words from that tile
12:42 am

here are all the i's: in 5, 4, 6, 8, 6, 7, 5, 5, 4, 6, 6, 7

I copy/paste my word list into my text editor. Then I search the regular expression "Look Up Word ([a-z]{2})[a-z]* (\d+) (\d+)" and replace with "\01 \02/\03"
1:18 am
gremlinn
That cuts out all the unnecessary stuff and extracts the first two letters ([a-z]{2}) and the letters/points after

1:19 am
VolleymomDee
what is a text editor? Is it in word?
1:19 am
gremlinn
I had to learn regular expressions for rapid text editing for the game writing I do.
1:19 am
jillibus
oh, grem! YAY for the sparklers and for posting a list!
1:19 am
gremlinn
A text editor is like Word but without the fancy formatting.
1:20 am
VolleymomDee
amazing
1:20 am
gremlinn
Not all text editors do regular expressions though.
1:20 am

2:45 am
gran
How many words today please

I concur that this grid isn't particularly nasty, FMitch, although some words for tiles with few words must be a little odd

2:48 am
jillibus
andree, if you want to see something about a friend who is NOT online, you can if he/she is in your My Friends. For example, gremlin and jellen posted a list in their profiles. If they are not online and you hae them in your MY Friends, you can get the lists. Also, Sprite keeps the list of icon themes so if yo have her in your My Friends and she's not online you can access her list that way.
2:49 am
anike
You can also access someones profile from the rankings
2:49 am
KatieMcG
half way must be off to do so** work, see you all later x
2:49 am
FMitch
OK list added to my profile.
Hi jilli,wonderful icon and story and a touching anniversary too *hugs*

FMitch
Bye Katie, 10 mo4 mins and I will be doing the same.
2:50 am

Thanks, FM -- it was a great icon suggestion
2:51 am

And there I was thinking it was going to be a website for needle and thread phobics to console with each other.
3:13 am
flosey
there you go Haz, there are so many ways to be creative
3:13 am
Haz1558
It's one of the highlights for me when I'm having people to eat is to set the table. It's kind of like setting the scene.

hello, for any of you who have been following the saga of Max, the vet just left and although it is sarcoptic mange, it is very treatable. She gave him 3 shots, proclaimed Ruby mange-free, said I wouldn't catch it, and everything would be alright! Phew!
3:22 am
Haz1558
There's a relief!
3:22 am

happy for you ruby, must be quite a relief for all concerned

did anybody see the movie "28 Dresses" with Katherine Heigl? It's about bridesmaids' outfits, sounds like it would have been perfect for this chat!
3:25 am
Haz1558
All you need to remember, ruby, is to not imagine what might be wrong, but to get a diagnosis more quickly. Lecture over.
3:25 am
rubyfoo
lecture received, haz, but I can't stop smiling!
3:26 am
rubyfoo
but we all diagnosed it correctly and google and ata knew the name of the drug!
3:28 am
Haz1558
At least it didn't get as far as one case my husband dealt with years ago. A man brought a very sorry looking dog to the surgery, told husband that he had been trying to treat it himself but had failed miserably. He said his wife had threatened dire consequences if he didn't get it sorted out, so he was bringing the dog to get put down. His marriage was at stake, he said. Off he went, husband did the deed, half an hour later the phone rang. It was the man 'Sure you haven't put that dog down?' It turned out that the wife had meant him to get the dog treated, he had misunderstood and thought she wanted it 'sorted out once and for all' as being to get the dog put down.
3:29 am
rubyfoo
Bad story, haz, my husband was so nasty to me this AM about the dog, that I thought he'd want me put down! LOL
3:30 am
Haz1558
Hopefully the treatment will get Max sorted out quickly, he'll certainly be a lot more comfortable.

It'll be the itch that's driving him to it, once that's removed it should settle down.
3:33 am

he seems to feel better when he's out in the snow; maybe the mites get sleepy in the cold
3:33 am
Haz1558
The cold will be soothing, almost anaesthetising to the skin.

Gosh Haz that is terrible about the dog. Maybe the wife needed a husband
3:35 am
Haz1558
It's a long time ago since it happened, it's just a shame that the two of them didn't actually sort out what they meant by what they said.

The man willingly signed anything he needed to - as far as he was concerned his wife wanted the dog out of the house because he had been trying to treat a skin condition for months without success. What his wife really wanted was for him to take it to the vet and get it treated.

My (?) doctor just called. I don't know if she's mine or not. She called to check up on me. She said she was worried that I left the hospital too soon. She wanted me to stay and the surgeon said I could go home. So, what would you do? I went home. Now it seems that I have offended the doctors good judgement and I get the feeling she's saying see ya.

There's something happening with LIckety which I can't quite explain. He seems to do the clues, but the timing is off by one day, I'm not sure whether there's been a change in daylight saving hours in Australia or what. I know his daughter is ill, but he's still been doing the clues, just one day out.
9:15 am
Haz1558
So, naturally, because his daughter isn't well, nobody wants to be bothering him about it. We soldier on.
9:15 am

25" from last storm. Expecting another 12 - 18" this storm. I just shoveled the driveway a bit. Barely made a dent.
10:44 am

I did not, however, support the decision for early release/no school today. I think it was totally unneccessary.
10:45 am
CiociaJudy
Oh, Judi. That's a lot of snow to deal with. Thankfully, we only had about 8 inches last Saturday but it is a blizzard out there right now
10:46 am

I won't bother going to Marshfield to stalk you, car. Too far. I'm in Needham.

it's all drifting, but there was 10 inches at 10AM
1:48 pm
dcseain
oh, total on the ground. that number is just now snow.
1:48 pm
dcseain
so, on the ground, what with melt, almost 30 again
1:48 pm
dcseain
and it's still falling
1:49 pm
KrisE
wow - how are people handling it?
1:49 pm
dcseain
mostly by staying home, and mostly by walking if need to go out.
1:49 pm
dcseain
Tom works tonight, so at 4, i'm going to go shovel out the CR-V
1:50 pm
KrisE
Good luck to you and Tom. Nothing on the ground here really - yet anyway

KrisE
hi jmc - snowing there?
1:52 pm
jmcnrick
i escaped to Albany
1:52 pm
dcseain

1:52 pm
dcseain
oh, smart, jmc :)
1:52 pm

ohmygod, just got back from the grocery -- teenage boy ahead of me was buying 25 gallon jugs of milk (Starbucks ran out) -- he then proceeded to have the bagger put EACH jug in a separate plastic bag!!
2:13 pm
Dorens
that could be somewhat irritating
2:13 pm
hego
Don't cry Oodle, there, there.
2:13 pm
jmcnrick
i thought that was incite!
2:13 pm
Uneaixoise
me to teenage boy: " on behalf of the planet, I would like to say that I am horrified!"
2:14 pm
Scrabbler
Good for you, Une
2:14 pm
hurshy
incite, instigate, etc etc
2:14 pm
oodleberry
I hope they charged him for every plastic bag
2:14 pm
hego
what did he say?
2:14 pm
oodleberry
you get charged here for them
2:14 pm
jmcnrick
that is an argument in favor of the dc law that makes you pay 5 cents for each plastic bag
2:14 pm
Uneaixoise
i wish that were the case here, oodle
2:14 pm
Dorens
youwould think he could have just gotten cartons or crates
2:14 pm
hego
I can't imagine the reason for that.
2:15 pm
Uneaixoise
but why do you need plastic jugs of milk in plastic bags in the first place????
2:15 pm
hego
for all the bags, I mean.
2:15 pm
oodleberry
well it is not working in the maritimes... people are complaining about it
2:15 pm
Dorens
ok., need help with decision here... at least ten inches already, the birds are iin a frenzy at the feeder, and my cat Lucy is pestering me to let her out. what say you?
2:15 pm
jmcnrick
easier to carry une
2:15 pm
Uneaixoise
me (again) to teenage boy: does Starbucks at least recycle plastic jugs? answer . . . "no"
2:15 pm
torgone
Seriously .. the jugs HAVE handles
2:15 pm
hurshy
does lucy have a litterbox?
2:15 pm
oodleberry
I don't mind I never use a plastic sack... I used my back pack
2:15 pm
Uneaixoise
the jugs have handles!!
2:15 pm
jmcnrick
let the cat out she wont stay long enough to eat the birds
2:16 pm
Scrabbler
Say no to Lucy
2:16 pm
jmcnrick
but you can carry 5 bags in one hand
2:16 pm
hurshy
aren't 25 gallons of milk too heavy to carry for one person in any case?
2:16 pm
oodleberry
but I bet you can carry more in plastic bags than by the hangle of the jugs
2:16 pm
Uneaixoise
i always have a canvas bag full of canvas bags in hand!
2:16 pm
oodleberry
great minds jmc
2:16 pm
Uneaixoise
aaaaccckkkk!!! don't make excuses for him!!
2:16 pm
jmcnrick
I have nylon bags in my purse so I can make an impulse stop at the store
2:16 pm
Scrabbler
I love my canvas bags for shopping.
2:17 pm
Uneaixoise
hursh, he was loading them into his car -- probably a big SUV!!!
2:17 pm
oodleberry
but that is why he did
2:17 pm
jmcnrick
I am just saying une that there may be some logic not that he was right
2:17 pm
Dorens
yes lucy has her pick of two litter boxes, but the call of the wild runs deep within her
2:17 pm
KrisE
I made nylon bags for people's purses for Christmas
2:17 pm
hurshy
but you'd have to make multiple trips between the checkout line and the car either way, right?
2:17 pm
hego
All cats, Dorens
2:17 pm

2:18 pm

my dog hogs the heaters
2:18 pm

I think you could do it in one with a shopping cart.
2:18 pm
jmcnrick
I may as well go back to be beating up ru since when I am nice every one snaps at me! lol
2:18 pm
Uneaixoise
he wasn't carrying them to his car in the the bags -- he loaded them into 2 grocery carts, then rolled them out to the parking lot . . .
2:18 pm
Mishakal
she'll open our bedroom door at night to sleep in front of the heater
2:18 pm
JBV
hope everyone is warm and safe - the view from my window was beautiful this morning - white, white, white, fluffy snow - now i'm starting to worry....
2:19 pm

2:22 pm
hurshy
considering what happened in RI two winters ago, the school closings make sense to me
2:22 pm

a storm that came on faster and heavier than expected. when they finally dismissed the schools, everyone working had decided it was about time to get home also, and the roads were totally clogged, so the plows couldn't get through. many people abandoned their cars, and some children were stuck on buses until like 11:30 at night.
2:23 pm
jmcnrick
no but I do -- did you see my icon the last few days with my saab buried in snow?

And, before any other Babble singletons put their spoke in, I have already asked Brookie to keep any eligible brothers or friends for me....
2:53 pm
jmcnrick
I ditched eharmony because when i answered that religion was important in my life they kept hooking me up with born-agains
2:53 pm
Brookie
Match.com is better for females in that there is a greater percentage of males 70/30%, where it's the inverse with eHarmony.
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
JE ME TOO!
2:53 pm
Vicuna
Maybe eHarmony and Match.com should just throw their pools together.
2:54 pm
Brookie
Great idea!
2:54 pm
jmcnrick
like the only people who are serious about religion are born again christians????
2:54 pm

it's as if fundamentalism was the only way to be religious

one of my students at work stayed home, so I only had one kid to work with, and thus got off early also. Mind, I only get paid when I work....
