When we came to Canada in 1966, all you basically needed was a sponsor, a job waiting for you, and a few references.

But I am counting on the fact that Canada will realize not all of Americans are brainless and are stuck with an idiot president.

8:58 am

House is great, but the show was more about Hugh Laurie
11:56 am
bichon
Am watching ER now
11:56 am
hurshy
it was often more about bioethics, which was cool
11:57 am
moolingwa
that's why I watched it bich :)
11:57 am
hurshy
personally i didn't like a lot of what they chose to do during the last season of House, but, what can you do. i feel that way about the endings of a lot of shows
11:58 am
moolingwa
I watched a lot of british comedies with Hugh Laurie in them, so that drew me to House
11:58 am

Is there anyone here who does the grid without clues and listing, just to see how far you can go? I do it that way and have just 126 words.
4:26 pm
moolingwa
yes, I do
4:27 pm
moolingwa
though I get inadventent clues from the chat
4:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
this grid seems rich with possibilities. Me too Moo.
4:27 pm
moolingwa
I got the first letter of 3 9s (and the 10), plus that 7 just now so far...otherwise I have 17 left
4:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I find it fun that way but I can't pick it up the next day, like a crossword puzzle.
4:28 pm
MollyL
It is impossible to do the grid without clues unless you keep chat off. Too much chat about words and too much blurting.
4:28 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I kind of wish I could still play them later
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You can do it without clues and lightly chat.
4:29 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I can often avoid clues just by looking at the first part of the chat
4:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You can play a prior day's grid, but then you are missing the new one.
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It can be done. Moo you have gotten much farther than I have. When I first started I thought it was a competitive game like wordplay.net. Wordsplay is like crack cocaine. Three minutes, a new grid, and the scores are posted.
4:32 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I play serpentine a bit
4:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am clueless about the 9s and 10s but keep waiting for them to reveal themselves.
4:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It would feel like catching Moby Dick if I got them on my own, but I doubt that I will.
4:33 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I got one by myself, and then someone mentioned the first letter of the others which was enough for me to find them
4:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Like that.
4:34 pm
moolingwa
found another 4
4:34 pm
MollyL
You can get prior grids in the archives
4:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, but it's like eating leftovers.
4:35 pm
MollyL
And you are not missing the present day grid, you just play it in a new tab.
4:37 pm
MollyL
That was for the comment about "playing them later"

The free health care myth alone would keep me away. We could have free health care too if our taxes were 40% higher.

no way do I want to freeze to death. I'm too cold here in the winter and would move down to FL. BTW, just camped near some canadian snowbirds in Hilton Head.

Plus you have to plug your car in so it will run in the sub-zero temperatures.

Plugging in the car is recommended for best performance at temperatures below 5 degrees Fahrenheit, but almost nobody around here actually seems to do it. The large parking lot for the adjacent apartment building doesn't have plug-ins.

And Canada has an average life expectancy 5 years longer than in the U.S., and a maternal death rate half that in the U.S., as well as a lower infant death rate.

So, yeah, our health care system is far from perfect, but it's definitely out-performing yours
