3:03 am

grannyrose

yup, the only way, diz. however boxing day is another kettle of fish

3:04 am

dizgrannie

hey Ruby, these days I seem to care less, but if any g/kids around I go the whole lot, cook up a feast the day before and have salads etc for the day. That way I am not stuck in the kitchen cooking.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

if only.... husband has 5 grandchildren, none of whom he knows, and 2 grandkids, in whom he has no interest.

3:07 am

dizgrannie

3:08 am

dizgrannie

3:08 am

grannyrose

EspritdJean

6:19 am

EspritdJean

come with me to madagascar then

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Are you going there?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

scrabs, one of my oldest, dearest friends, with whom I've lost touch, lived in your region, had a biz called "Ms Fixit", named Irene Szabo. Slim change but, who knows?

6:20 am

rubyfoo

EspritdJean

I will be fifty-ten in
April

6:20 am

rubyfoo

6:21 am

rubyfoo

in the country

6:21 am

Scrabbler

One of my college patients has spent the last 2 summers in Madagascar. He told me a lot about the country.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

fifty-ten sounds better than sixy-ten!

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Jean.

6:21 am

EspritdJean

what was he dong there?

6:21 am

EspritdJean

um, doing

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Research--politics/anthropology.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

It is an interesting island--unique animals and plants.

6:22 am

EspritdJean

it's #1 on my bucket list

6:23 am

rubyfoo

great lizards! rambutans?

6:23 am

EspritdJean

rambutans are in Asia, don't know about Madagascar

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Darn, my phone has no dial tone and testing via Verizon on-line shows that the problem is in my house. Ugh. That means I need to make an appt to be here to let a repairman in. PIA.

6:24 am

EspritdJean

lemurs are the big draw in the fauna

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I've only discovered them, here !!!!, the last month. They're like lichees on steroids

6:24 am

EspritdJean

yes, great fruit

6:24 am

EspritdJean

I loved dragon fruit when I was in asia

6:25 am

rubyfoo

they are weird-looking (like dragon fruit) but delish

6:26 am

rubyfoo

I've only been in Japan, no place else in Asia

6:26 am

EspritdJean

china, vietnam (and briefly bangkok)

6:26 am

Scrabbler

So, the landline doesn't work and my computer cannot connect with ofc's VPN router. Not terrible problems but annoying to resolve.

6:26 am

EspritdJean

I was just in china 2 months ago, my son got married

6:27 am

rubyfoo

poor scrabs! computer problems are a ba** to my life

6:27 am

Scrabbler

So he lives there?

6:27 am

EspritdJean

he, has for 4+ years

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Ruby. I cannot connect to the ofc so cannot do electronic charting from home which means I am getting behind.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

What does he do?

6:28 am

EspritdJean

drugs and prostitution

6:28 am

EspritdJean

oh, ok, so he teaches English

6:28 am

rubyfoo

hahah, jean

6:28 am

EspritdJean

sorry, I just say what the voices tell me

6:28 am

Scrabbler

He could make more money with drugs and prostitution.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

But teaching is legal.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves the voices!

6:29 am

EspritdJean

there would be a lot of competition in the prostitution, not sure about the drugs

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I must quickly get ready and head to the factory.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

just generics

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I talk with my voices.

6:29 am

EspritdJean

when I checked into my first hotel there was a slew of business cards that had been slipped under the door from the local ladies

6:30 am

EspritdJean

I thought it was a riot

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I wish I could chat more. Enjoy the day, ladies.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

that is a hoot, jean, like take-out menus in NYC

6:30 am

EspritdJean

take good care scrabs

6:30 am

rubyfoo

6:31 am

EspritdJean

yes, I saved them

6:33 am

rubyfoo

well we all do that -- apparently i am the only one who can get empty chog comments in :-((

4:42 pm

jmcnrick

but thanks for the encouragement

4:43 pm

MollyL

I get an error pop up if I try to hit ENTER without a comment

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

that is why i can't understand how i do this--i usually get an error pop up too but every once in a while it runs amok

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

what a good word amok is amok amok amok

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

did you see the jeopardy winner once got 285 points for the word seltzers in scrabble on fb?

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Jeopardy geeks!

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

you got to love them

4:47 pm

Strider

eek!!!

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

must have been a triple word tile

4:48 pm

MollyL

How is it possible to get 285 points for that word, even on a triple score?

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

well there are points for using all your tiles too

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

maybe i have the number wrong but it was something over 200

4:48 pm

MollyL

Yeah, but you only get those once, not three times.

4:49 pm

doseffing

... does the z show up on a triple letter score between the two triple word scores? ... gets you lots of points

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

now i will have to get out my scrabble board and figure it out

4:50 pm

jmcnrick

hmmmm looks like you could hit two triple word boxes at once

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

does that make it 6 times?

4:51 pm

Good Enough

seltzer is 19 points, using all tiles is 50

4:51 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... if someone plays a tile onto the outer row or column ... you can string your seven letters to fill in two triple words ... and get a triple letter too

4:52 pm

MollyL

Yeah but it still doesn't add up and there are no triple letter boxes in between triple word scores

4:52 pm

jmcnrick

seltzers -- plural

4:52 pm

doseffing

... isn't there one about four letters from the corner ... or is that a double letter?

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

the T ends up in the double letter box

4:53 pm

MollyL

So 20 points. If the z is on a double 30 points x 3 =90 x2 = 180 + 50 = 230

4:53 pm

doseffing

... and with two triple words you multiply by 9

4:54 pm

MollyL

By 9? Two triple words twice?

4:55 pm

doseffing

... play from a corner all the way to the middle column ... if someone gets careless and plays a single tile in the outside row

4:57 pm

jmcnrick

18 X 9 + 50 = 212 so i must have reported the amount wrong originally --- still

4:59 pm

marpocky

where are you getting 18? should be 27

4:59 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for be5-18 the 1st. Thanks

4:59 pm

marpocky

27 x 9 + 50 = 293

5:00 pm

doseffing

5:00 pm

MollyL

How do you get 27?

5:00 pm

marpocky

double letter Z

5:00 pm

marpocky

plus 7 more for the SELTERS part

5:03 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

May I please have a clue for ar7-36? Thanks

5:03 pm

jmcnrick

the z is 10 and all other the letters are worth 1 point except the t gets a second point so that makes 18

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

oh i c i put the word on wrong on the board you are right marp--293 points!

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

wow!

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

okay my magazine is calling bbl

5:06 pm

marpocky

of course 293 is pathetic compared to the 1700+ you can get from oxyphenbutazone or 2000+ from sesquioxidizing

5:07 pm

marpocky

granted, they require some pretty deliberate setups

5:14 pm

marpocky

gapeach, i just got the ar7/36. it's someone like a judge
