hello everyone :-)

Lizlin

Seems that Lickety's clues haven't appeared. I know he was going away for a week or so but I've emailed him and I'm sure he'll reset the programme when he's able.

12:32 am

Lizlin

If you need a clue list, this might help

12:33 am

Lizlin

Search for dfmchfhf in the rankings and he has a website for a list.

5:38 am

The alternate list was made by dfmchfhf. It is a good thing to keep handy in case Lickety goes down.

5:44 am

ChampFit

Thanks for that!

5:53 am

mattygroves

Anyone here fans of Terry Pratchett?

6:07 am

MollyL

I have never read him

6:08 am

mattygroves

Tis excellent. I just saw a half hour movie of one of his stories; if anyone here were fans I'd share the link ;)

6:10 am

MollyL

I do like that he said that writers must "make grammar, punctuation and spelling a part of your life." I wish more people would.

6:11 am

Christa

Please share mattygroves & Good Morning everyone

6:11 am

mattygroves

As do I!

6:15 am

mattygroves

https://youtu.be/V7v_TdLviUE Your wish is my command, Christa :) It's half an hour (well, 28 minutes including credits ... which are worth listening to) yet that time will just fly by.

Hello Charlotte. Some pig.

8:57 am

hurshy

Fs Finagled!

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go.

8:59 am

hurshy

hey scrabbler, how are you? :)

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Doing quite well. How about you?

8:59 am

hurshy

i'm alright. had a tooth pulled yesterday tho.

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Are you in much pain?

9:00 am

hurshy

no

9:00 am

hurshy

teeny bit sort but barely noticeable

9:01 am

hurshy

*sore

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Very good. Will you need an implant?

9:02 am

hurshy

well that would be the best thing but i would have to pay for it as i am on medicaid right now, so, i'm not. but they said i have a few years to put it in if i just use a partial in the meantime, so fingers crossed that i somehow get on good dental insurance in that time :D

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I had chronic problems with one tooth, #30, and had many procedures before it was pulled. I have an implant. I probably spent $10 on that tooth.

9:03 am

hurshy

wow that's amazing

9:03 am

hurshy

they said it would cost me $5000 to get an implant

9:03 am

Scrabbler

It is hard to know what to do--spend money and save a tooth or say goodbye.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Oops, I meant $10K!

9:04 am

hurshy

well that is why it is nice that i have a few years before the opportunity is gone

9:04 am

hurshy

ahhh that makes more sense, i was thinking you had the most amazing insurance ever lol

9:05 am

Scrabbler

No, my dental insurance covers $1000/year.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

I could use another implant for a far back molar removed 3 years ago, but I am ok without anything in that spot.

9:06 am

hurshy

mine is the second-to-last molar

9:06 am

hurshy

so the last molar is feeling very lonely right now

9:06 am

Scrabbler

Ah.

9:07 am

hurshy

on the bright side, i still have the most darling girlie cat in the world

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Aw, what is her name?

9:07 am

hurshy

Rilla

9:08 am

hurshy

aka Miss Marilla Roo the Miracle Kitten

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Well, my twin rabbits, Phoebe and Fiona, say hello.

9:08 am

hurshy

aka Rillyashi Maroo

9:08 am

hurshy

hello phoebe and fiona!

9:09 am

Scrabbler

My twins were excited to get their morning salads. Now they sleep all day. Then I deliver evening salads.

9:09 am

hurshy

quite a life lol

9:10 am

Scrabbler

And their own bedroom. Last week Fiona pushed the gate open and had a frolic in the living room.

9:11 am

hurshy

frolic is a good word

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Animal lovers give their pets wonderful lives.

9:11 am

rururocks

*checks scrabs temperature*

9:12 am

hurshy

yes we do. although Rilla sometimes wonders why the shelter had to find her such a CRAZY momma when she asked for a NICE momma

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Am I sick?

9:12 am

rururocks

no.. just a wee bit odd

9:12 am

Scrabbler

But we can be crazy and nice mommas.

9:13 am

rururocks

true

9:13 am

rururocks

i wish all I had to do all day was toss salads too

9:13 am

hurshy

mommas should NOT give you kisses when they know that kisses are not your jam

9:13 am

Scrabbler

And papas, Ruru.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Quick salads, Ruru. Piles of escarole or parsley or romaine or cilantro.

9:15 am

hurshy

your profession is a phantom today scrabs! :D

9:15 am

rururocks

i was just reading about people who can't eat cilantro because it tastes like soap to them.. a palate thing

9:15 am

Scrabbler

I love the smell but not the taste.

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, I see, Hurshy.

9:17 am

MollyL

Okay, I will ask. How do you furnish a rabbit's bedroom?

9:20 am

phaeton

9:20 am

9:23 am

hurshy

...

9:25 am

dan2bit

9:54 am

Jeanius421

any clue for the co8?

9:54 am

hurshy

if i didn't KNOW it was a racial insult i would not guess that that would be what that word would mean lol

9:54 am

hurshy

co7 a group, such as a collection of friends who travels with a celebrity. plural for 8

9:54 am

Jeanius421

Hurshy it refers to Chinese workers

9:54 am

penquis

i think it refers to Asian Americans....not sure...

9:55 am

hurshy

yes, chinese or other far east immigrants who were exploited with low pay

9:55 am

Jeanius421

actually unskilled labor from any Asian country

9:55 am

9:57 am

hurshy

i repeat clue since chat was moving fast

9:57 am

hurshy

co7 a group, such as a collection of friends who travels with a celebrity. plural for 8

9:57 am

dan2bit

it's fancier than clique or crew

9:57 am

hurshy

if you're well-read, it's a reasonably normal word, but it is not frequently used in everyday conversation

10:48 am

cybernan

what a mess that storm must have left behind. I hope you have a wood burning fireplace!

10:49 am

saanichcat

10:50 am

cybernan

good -- getting bored with "keep busy" projects though. AT least we have had a really mild winter so far and have been able to get out for walks. I got some lightweight denim yesterday, so am about to start making masks for the kids.

10:52 am

rururocks

I refuse to be chastised for giving good visual clues.

10:52 am

rururocks

Nice! I know you can do it!

2:22 pm

hokie carla

there's an S - 6 left!

2:24 pm

zoozzoom

Most of the 6s are pretty straightforward and the harder ones have a seven and you have the sevens so you must have the harder 6s to boot.

2:25 pm

hokie carla

ok, good to know, thx

2:26 pm

2:37 pm

hokie carla

oh, there's an LO6

2:37 pm

hokie carla

3 left!

2:37 pm

mael

that other lo6 must be my missing one then

2:38 pm

mael

it's not a lo6/18 is it?

2:38 pm

hokie carla

it's a plural of a singular not there - yes, 6/18

2:38 pm

mael

hmm, I have that.

2:39 pm

mael

and I also have a lo6/21

2:39 pm

hokie carla

the other 6/18 is related to the 6/21

2:40 pm

oh bingo! thank you

I still have an S from each of the 11 S tiles and one L

2:41 pm

nope, that was it, thanks!

2:42 pm

hokie carla

of course no definition

2:43 pm

mael

it's one of those babblets that I tend to remember

2:43 pm

hokie carla

now an S5 and S6 from 2 different S's so probably not related.

2:44 pm

mael

do you have sp5/14, not the gardening tool?

2:44 pm

hokie carla

yes

2:45 pm

mael

hmm

2:50 pm

hokie carla

found the upper S. that means my last one is S6.

2:53 pm

hokie carla

TADA! finish sans list. thanks to all chatters that helped!

I saw your FB post about that. Very cool.

I grew up near SF, so had some pretty good concert options myself.

what site is that? cannot tell from a tiny url

5:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i figure- 0 people ina rooms that holds 150, with masks, was not much different that going to shop RIte

5:17 pm

welki

it's a site created by a babbler, dfmchfhf

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

i tend to be very careful about what site i visit. I don't recognize that as a babble name

5:19 pm

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

make that twenty people, at most, at a time. my two key still does not work

5:21 pm

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

good point. i 've only been driving around town.

5:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

traffic was awful coming home, but going up was fine. and i came home with a famous B&W heavy crumb cake

5:23 pm

welki

you should have stopped off for one of your special limpa breads :)

5:23 pm

welki

(i loved crumb cake)

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

they don't make them every day. but i have one in the freezer :)

5:24 pm

welki

i have a copycat recipe for it - i should try it

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you see the america's test kitchen where they featured B&W? they actually tried to make a heavy crumb. the gall.

5:25 pm

JaxH66

What’s a heavy crumb cake?

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

dorens loves the bee sting cake from there.

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's a jersey thing. how would you describe it, welk?

5:27 pm

wow, it's hard to describe.

5:28 pm

here's a link to a recipe, with a photo

if you choose a recipe, jax, look for one that has b&w or entemann's in the title

(hahaha - and the most stars!)

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i didn't realize it was a jersey thing. just thought it was a B&W thing

5:31 pm

welki

and here i thought it was a ny thing, carried over into jersey - who knows

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay that tiny url works

5:31 pm

JaxH66

Thanks

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it's a german thing

5:31 pm

welki

probably

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

see, welk, they will ship it to you :)

5:32 pm

JaxH66

It looks very German or Central European

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

did the lik work for you?

5:33 pm

welki

two cakes, $60 plus conversion + shipping would probably be over $100 - i can make 20 cakes for that

5:33 pm

welki

probably more than 20

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

it cost $9.15

5:34 pm

JaxH66

Not tried it, but googled it instead

5:34 pm

welki

streuselkuchen - owl, you win!

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought it was around $7 when i bought it last christmas

5:35 pm

welki

might have been, but when i went to goldbelly.com, it was $60 for two cakes

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

my link said $39 for one + shipping

5:36 pm

welki

yes, $39 for 1, $60 for 2 - i prefer the go big or go home approach :D

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i ate some at 4 and now no room for dinner

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

they freeze well.

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

toodle is not a word.

5:37 pm

welki

it's a football day here, so we picked up some (new to canada) popeye's chicken and i made some cole slaw for supper

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you get the famous fried sandwich?

5:38 pm

welki

no, a bucket - is the sandwich chicken different, other than being a filet?

5:39 pm

welki

we've had it once before and it is deeeelicious

5:39 pm

JaxH66

To maybe it needs pip on the end!!

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know. popeye's is too spicy for me but i thnk yo can opt for the sandwich not to be hot

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, jax, maybe...

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

now i am hungry but still full. go figure.

5:40 pm

welki

<-- loves spicy, hot food, but orders mild to be polite

5:40 pm

welki

and yet, the other half will eat buffalo wings. (echos the 'go figure')

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am hungry for protein. was too tired to cook after all the driving .

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

and no way will i stop for food, drink. or any thing else

5:42 pm

welki

go make some hard boiled eggs

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't eat them. i will cook some chicken shortly.

5:43 pm

welki

we'd make horrible room-mates *lol*

5:43 pm

welki

unless all we did was eat cake

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

my niece was raving about her fried chicken in the air fryer. the niece who has the food instagram. it looks yummy and was really crusty.

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, if we got around to cooking...;)

5:44 pm

welki

i use the air fryer to reheat the popeyes - it's the ONLY way to keep it crisp and get it hot without drying out

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

she has a ninja XL

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

too big for me.

5:45 pm

welki

they have small ones - i hate the room it takes up on the counter and will have to figure out how/where to store it when we move

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

DEFINITELY a problem here

5:45 pm

welki

i feel gypped - one of my kids said they'd come and help me empty out the house, but covid put the kibosh on that

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't fry many things so probably not a worthwhile purchase.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

wait- moving?

5:46 pm

welki

yeah - when he retires, we're selling this place and heading north to the lake

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think we should move to mexico.

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i want to be warm. all the time

5:48 pm

welki

i'd like to be where there's no snow, but mexico's too hot

5:48 pm

welki

besides, i need health insurance

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

there is no private insurance, it's all state sponsored?

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

jax i am sorry we do run on.

5:49 pm

welki

in mexico? can you establish residence there to qualify?

5:50 pm

welki

yes, yes we do run on - and never in any one particular direction

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean where you are now.

5:51 pm

welki

there are provincial health care programs that cover just about the same as part a of medicare - but no dental, glasses, limited in lots of areas. you can buy private supplemental insurance, but it's terribly costly and generally pretty crappy

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

decot

5:52 pm

welki

prescriptions, for 65 and over, for the most part, are covered - max $25 if not

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's good.

5:52 pm

welki

(in alberta, not sure about other provinces)

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought it was national health insurance there

5:53 pm

welki

canada's program is administered provincially

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

so coverage varies by province?

5:55 pm

welki

yes - for instance, the health insurance program in ontario covered continuous glucose monitors. alberta does not.

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's surprising to me. based on the province's fiscal?

5:56 pm

welki

most likely - but things like CGMS and CPAP machines keep people alive - you'd think that'd figure into the equation

5:57 pm

welki

but hey, what do i know? it'll be a long time before we get vaccinated, too.

5:58 pm

welki

anywhoooo - it's been reallly good to 'see' you, but it's time for me to skedaddle. have a decent night, you eat your chicken, i'll eat mine :)

all okay outside. peri, this implant is changing my life back to the way i used to be. halfway through increasing the strength and i am walking pain-free, and no wheelie walker for at least 150 feet.

8:33 pm

periwinkle

8:33 pm

dcseain

i'm very glad to hear that, Rose. :)

8:34 pm

grannyrose

it feels sort of strane as i keep thinking somethings not quite right. what am i missing? of course it is the pain. to be able to stand up without holding on to anything is a wonderful feeling.

8:35 pm

8:36 pm

periwinkle

what sort of implant is it,rose?

8:37 pm

grannyrose

a nerve stimulator. it stimulates the nerve bundle at thoracic 12 and stops it from transmitting messages of pain along my spinal cord.

8:37 pm

periwinkle

how long have you had it?

8:38 pm

grannyrose

hmmm...about 5 weeks now. still another 4 weeks of increasing strength until i reach the strongest.

8:39 pm

grannyrose

in about three weeks i start coming off the opioids. i am so tired off the side effects of them.

8:40 pm

dcseain

i can imagine, but they do help so with the pain

8:40 pm

grannyrose

the other issue is that i have lost a lot of my strength, muscle-wise. no gym, no hydro pool. it's been horrible.

8:41 pm

dcseain

:-/ yeah. quarantine sucks iin so many ways

8:42 pm

grannyrose

Seain, with all my allergies and hypersensitivities, opiods are my absolute final port for analgesia. i want to keep them for when i truly need them.

8:42 pm

dcseain

makes a world of sense.

8:42 pm

periwinkle
