hi flosey! How are you today?
2:04 am
cg530

has anyone ever typed in a word that does not fit in the grid, yet it accepts it as a word? that just happened to me. i've looked at it a million times trying to see the word that it accepted and i cannot see it
2:04 am
flosey

good thanks sprite but getting tired, think I'll leave my last 14 for the morning
2:05 am
flosey

goodnight all
2:05 am
sprite

yeah I have, cg, but in the end figured out it was in the grid anyway. Sometimes it is so twisty.
2:05 am

tks Sprite, have a good day

WTG CG530!!!!
2:08 am
cg530

thanks! it's only happened a few times for me. is it cheating to use the word lists?
2:09 am
sprite

cg, as one babbler told me when I started here: Looking up the actual words is cheating. All the rest... is research.
2:10 am
grannyrose

no cg. we each solve the grid using our own methods. puritans, and i am not being critical, say that the use of the lists is not the way the game should be played.
2:10 am
cg530

i'm sure there's probably lots of people who have the vocabulary to know the words without using the lists. i would not be one of them
2:10 am
grannyrose

ditto here cg. i need the list most times, particularly when the grid is huge.
2:12 am
sprite

to each their own, as rose says. Some use the second letter clue list, some use word lists, some spam the chog full of stats and lists, some use clues from other babblers. It all has its merits and I think puritans should remember we play the game for fun. So in the end, go with what brings you the most fun.
2:12 am
cg530

i guess i can feel good that i don't resort to the lists until i have at least half of the words. then, i go to the chat log, which is awesome. some people are so good at giving clues. i usually get quite a few more from that. i just started using the lists in the past few days, and i've actually be able to finish. i think i can count on one hand the times i've finished since i joined in 2006
2:13 am
grannyrose

what sprite says...lol...cg, may i introduce the sister of my soul, sprite? we often say what the other is thinking.
2:13 am
sprite

sounds to me like you found a great way to play for yourself, cg!
2:14 am
cg530

thanks, everyone. i've been lurking on this group for a long time, and i recognize so many names. people sure are friendly on this group. :-)
2:15 am
sprite

my way is to do without help for as far as I can get. Then use the tile and word stats given in the game. Then fool around with endings and patterns and see if I can find them in external word lists. And if the grid is big, I look up the second letter stats in lickety for the last few. And I never ever turn down a good clue, grin.
2:15 am
grannyrose

cg, it's mainly because we are all relaxed, and allow each other to voice how they feel, no judgement made.
2:15 am
dizgrannie

my way of playing is to try to get all the big ones first, but then I find I miss a lot of the littlies.
2:16 am
sprite

it is a good community, cg. You are welcome to lurk whenever you want, but even more welcome to join in chat :)

lol yes dizgrannie, and don't we feel stupid when we find out we had the big one and not the smaller constituents at the end...
2:17 am
grannyrose

and i try to find at least half if not over half for each tile. sometimes the big words jump right out, others i scratchmy head for quite some minutes. all in all, just enjoy the game.
2:17 am

i think it's really great how there are so many people from all over. just seeing the different flags has been educational for me
2:17 am

2:20 am

fun is good. Fun is what playing any game should be about.
2:21 am
grannyrose

exactly, sprite. just have fun. some players can accept not finishing a grid. and some are fanatical about finishing. i wish i could leave a grid unfinished, but is not in my personality
2:22 am
grannyrose

watch out sprite, i am going for the feather...* tickle, tickle *
2:22 am
sprite

same here. I love that feeling of completion. Can't stand missing a few words and not knowing which ones. So yeah, I finish. A touch of ocd. Just a touch.
2:22 am
sprite

noooo NOT the feather! *hides behind cg and dizgrannie*
2:23 am

*explosive laughter* a touch???
2:23 am

3:06 am
sprite

yes dear. The whole breathe in- breathe out thing is only meant for air.
3:10 am
grannyrose

col....i learned to eat quickly during my training. if you were working on the ninth floor, and the cafeteria is on the first floor, and you are not allowed to use the lifts. have a stab at how much time you actually have to eat a meal, deducting the minutes for standing in a queue and find an empty chair from the 30 minutes allowed for a meal break.
3:11 am
sprite

omg indeed. Better off bringing your own bread and eat in the nurse room, lol
3:11 am

sweet terra. * special pat for him*
3:13 am
sprite

hehehe will pass it on
3:13 am
grannyrose

sprite we were only allowed to eat and drink in the cafeteria.
3:14 am
sprite

such unreasonable demands. What is the madness in not being allowed to use the elevators?
3:15 am
grannyrose

the lifts were for patients, doctors, and family members . not for trainee nurses.
3:16 am
sprite

ridiculous. I'd have ignored that command for sure. 9 floors, go *ugly word* yourselves.
3:17 am
sprite

fireflies at last. Tough little grid, this.
3:17 am
grannyrose

col....in 1970?? nope...we were well and truly under the thumb.
3:17 am
grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!
3:18 am
sprite

even in 1970, lol. I have always had trouble following orders that seem ridiculous to me.
3:19 am
grannyrose

it wasn't until 1971, when the trainee nurses here rebelled. we went on strike, and refused to wash the supper cups from the patients. very wicked of us!!
3:19 am
sprite

well you were right. You don't train to be a nurse to do the washing up. Idiots. Hmmmph.
3:20 am
sprite

tell me to leave that scab on my pinkie alone, rose
3:21 am
grannyrose

LEAVE THE SCAB ON YOUR PINKIE ALONE!!!. it will not help if you pick it off. it is a natural cover for your wound.
3:22 am
grannyrose

another couple of days, you have my permission to pick.
3:24 am

hego, my mother is a bit of a mess now. but her husband is great. If he weren't around, my life would be so very different. She is high maintenance. and it isn't even about grief, it is about having someone to dance at her command, as well as shepherd her to her various appointmnets.
8:59 am

9:01 am
Dorens

87. and he's 88, but strong like bull. Still, I see them both slowing down. He needed surgery for a benign tumor on her leg and when she told me about it, the main point was that she doesn't know how she'll make coffee (she's a fabulous cook), because he's done it for the last twenty years or so. Talk about being dependent! (and narcissistic)
9:01 am
72 Temple Owl

we need to make french toast with all of the storm prep bread milk and eggs
9:02 am

i never went out to buy bread.. figured I could live without it. I do have lots of milk and eggs though.
9:02 am

She'll have to figure it out, Doren.
9:02 am

hm..custard?
9:03 am
72 Temple Owl

fritttata?
9:03 am
Scrabbler

I am on the website, Hego. Looks bad--very low calorie diet, thus weight loss results. Not sound.
9:03 am
Dorens

she did manage, hego. but it was kind of pathetic that she even said that. it's just the way she thinks. it's all about her. and he has no problem with that, so he's great for her
9:03 am
Scrabbler

My mother is like that too, Doren.
9:03 am
Dorens

would love custard, or any kind of pudding. but trying to eat sensibly right now.

so should West Palm. nicer, even. But I can't complain. My best friend from HS goes there for a convention twice a year and she has a huge suite at the Venetian, and lots of dinner parties that I'll be able to go to, so it should be a very cheap getaway.. frequent flier miles to get there.. all it will cost me will be breakfast and lunch and massages for both of us at Canyon Ranch Spa (which is at the hotel)

She's coming along. Vet visit yesterday. Now being treated for tick borne illness and some other kennel bug. Nothing serious. Shelter we got her from will hear about it though. As they told us she was fully vetted when we picked her up.

They name winter storms now. Pointless, really.
9:29 am

i thought the shelters included spaying/neutering in the asoption fee, to insure it would be done?
9:30 am
72 Temple Owl

mena to say ensure. sorry
9:31 am
hego

Not seeing ad 6 either. hmmm
9:31 am
BzznBea

I think they do if they adopt to individuals, TO.
9:31 am
BzznBea

But if the dog is pulled by a rescue, they are expected to take care of that.
9:32 am
Judi

Luna's turnaround time was very quick. Came from kill shelter in Kentucky to shelter in PA. Was only there three days when hubby spotted her. They refund spaying fee *up to $75 once we get her show proof. Less than half the cost.
