Many thnaks, Lickety. I've enjoyed this game for many years. Is there a way I could add to your cofers, as a small token of my enjoyment?
1:03 am
licketySplitAUS

So kind scribekd, not necessary at all, I love being of service. if you insist there is paypal info on right of original clues page.
1:04 am
licketySplitAUS

for V3.2.0.0 - check out the Options dropdown - 2 new fun things to try
1:05 am

I do insist & I will look for the original clues page. At even a dollar a game-it would rival the national debt! But I can certainly do some.
1:10 am

Lickety, I downloaded version V3.1.2.0 yesterday. Do I have to download again today to get the latest version or will it update automatically?
9:21 am

9:35 am
welki

(It won't allow me to sign in, says incorrect name/password, but it's the same as I use here on the website)
9:35 am
hurshy

there's another idea for you lickety - a searchable database of words that tells you how many times a given word has appeared in grids :D
9:35 am
welki

and hello, everyone :)
9:37 am
licketySplitAUS

Hey Hurshy - that’s already on the original clues page in the middle column - been there for years!
9:37 am

Hi welki
9:38 am
hurshy

but if i want to look up a word that is NOT in the grid to see if it ever has been?
9:39 am
licketySplitAUS

That’s a great one hurshy. We don’t have that be we know how many words haven’t been used from the list

Mmmm. Very strange. Might be a MAC thing. I’ll see if I can work out if something is interfering with that part and add a fix to the next update. Hopefully in the next little while
9:59 am
welki

thanks - and it was nice to hear your voice in the video :)
10:20 am

idk what's better than babbling with a cat to cuddle you and a big mug of tea to drink
10:20 am
licketySplitAUS

Hey Welki - I've just updated it - if you run it again it should prompt you to update, if not, try a fresh download and let me know. I've got to sleep now, it's 2:20am

I have a small but prized list of misspellings of my name. Also Gwyneth, also Foss. You would not believe how badly some people cannot spell my simple name LOL
1:53 pm
crosshair

My problem is that I am currently using a tablet, and not a proper keyboard. To make matters worse, I have very warm hands and the heat can unintentionally activate keys on a touch screen. To top it all of on occasion I suffer from essental tremors.
1:54 pm

So this can make for some very interesting text. :)

2:07 pm

Book Doctor, our federal government right now is excellent. Those pesky Albertans and Quebecers have us nervous though.
2:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

does Alberta lean toward rural farmers and rightwing nitwits?
2:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

because half of Michigan does, too. Ugh
2:08 pm
crosshair

Quebec is mollified somewhat now. Nothing like a multi-billion dollar hydro contract to sooth things.
2:09 pm
swmbo

Alberta actually has quite a large population that came from the US, farmers and oil folks. So they are our Texans LOL
2:09 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

where I live I'm surrounded by trumpers and rightwing nutjobs. My rep in congress is a complete tool
2:09 pm

Ugh

Texans LOL
2:09 pm

Quebec will always be simmering on the back burner I think. As long as they stray there and simmer.
2:10 pm
swmbo

Book Doctor You have my sympathy. It must be brutal.
2:10 pm

Federal moneyis going to pour into Quebec. They will contentedly simmer.
2:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

there's one house with a tone of Trump flags hanging up but they also have political signs for some Dems, like Abdul El-Sayed, so i don't known if they are nightswing nuts or not. maybe a household full od people who fight a lot LOL

Alberta is Canada's richest province. They have the highest per capita income and therefore pay more federal income tax. and they feel hard done by because of it. They think they'd be richer on their own but they forget about the benefits that flow to them being part of Confederation. I think regardless of the referendum vote, there are some who will always feel cheated and there is nothing anyone can do about that.

as an Albertan, I can tell you that I don't think we'd be better off separating, but do feel that there are items we will vote on that may help with the unbalanced system of equalization payments

I love Firefox. Microsoft and Google track you all over. Firefox blocks a lot of tracking and has great privacy features.
3:37 pm

I use Firefox, too, but had been having trouble loading email. So my husband loaded my email using Chrome, and it was fine for a couple of days. Then I had an "upgrade" from Firefox and all was well, including my email. But Chrome kept butting in.
3:41 pm
Kamanjah

I never tried Chrome. I started with Firefox in the early days of the web.
Thunderbird (also by Mozilla) is a great email handler. I never got it set up on this computer after my old hard disk crashed, so I have been using Outlook. It's awful about putting my bills in the spam folder! My email is with my internet provider. Their interface is not that easy to use, but I've had the same email address for so many years that I don't want to deal with changing it.
3:43 pm

My husband, who was my computer guru (but has trouble seeing now) doesn't like Microsoft, so we use other software when possible. However, we both use gmail for - well - email. I use DuckDuckGo for searches all the time.

My older son is now my guru. He's in cyber security with a local hospital. So I feel well protected, internet wise.

I know! I still have the support that came with this machine and will renew it when the time comes. It's nice to simply call and get the problem worked out. I'm rural, but there are a couple of guys who are pretty good in the area.

I'm rural, too, and the nearest folks I'd trust are 1/2 an hour away. The place I'd go, though, is where I bought this one, and they're an hour away. But I can drive, this thing is light enough that I can carry it, so I'm OK with that drive. If I need to do that.

I echo that the worst thing about getting older as losing mobility. I am urban,, but if I walk more than 5 -10 minutes the pain starts. I used to be such a walker. Now I rely on uber. Even though there is public transportation, sometimes the walk to the train, brief as it is, is brutal.
5:02 pm

do you have arthritis Kap?
5:04 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It makes me feel old. And the bad thing is that movement is vital to healthy aging, but you have to learn how to move through pain. I had a trainer who lived next door who was the best person who has ever worked with me, but shockingly, he was found dead in his apartment of an accidental overdose. It was not a suicide,

I had a hip replacement so the other hip compensated for it, and the pain transferred. I would not get another hip replacement. I don't want to even have this be a topic of conversation. My dad had rheumatoid arthritis and was not mobile after 60. I am not as bad- it's osteoarthritis.

It was traumatic. I had to close the curtains when they came to carry him to the coroner. He was so full of life, and a survivor, but he had pain and bipolar disorder, and he was sick with pneumonia. II think they discharged him too soon from the hospital. He was dazed last I saw him. He most likely confused his meds.
