I confess to being superstitious, have been since a boy, picked more and more up over the years, common ones like not walking under ladders, tossing salt over shoulder etc etc. But I've also 'inherited' some from others, my wife for instance, she saw a single Magpie when I was with her years ago and said 'morning Mr. Magpie, how's the Colonel ?' and I've said it ever since. I go out of my way to complete some of these, which is ridiculous, but by now ingrained in my psyche. Which got me thinking, are the same ones common in other countries?, do they have more weird ones ? any idiots got any examples ?4 points

Ive dated two women in my life. Both ended up with my house being robbed and numberous lawsuits that followed. Since then I decide to avoid women, since they seem to be bad luck.4 points

Okay so I actually dread the number 13. So my birthday lands on the 13th. So of course in the mix there I get Fridays every so often. So I was 9 years old. I remember I had this absolutely beautiful ballerina birthday cake that I was excited for. Well I wound up in the hospital with tonsillitis. Another birthday I also remember I had been at work and I actually had list 30lbs so I was super happy. But my pants were so big. I thought I had tied them tightly and even used my gaitbelt yo hold them up. Well I came out of a room and sure enough they slid to the floor. Thank goodness it was wash day the previous day.3 points

I have played around with the board sizing trying to be a bit more dynamic for screen size. Love the idea of being able to play on a popup without the clutter of the browser and removing navigation etc. Will push some changes this morning. Account is needed for session management, ability to play against another person etc. Password is needed as accounts with no passwords can be messed with by anyone. Email address is needed for notifications and also to reduce bot impact. I did initially create a complete anon game system however for the target audience (elderly) having an account means that I can do lots of seamless 'magic' so they stay on a single page for the whole game and don't have to have 'special' links. I named the site... Talk with tiles.. I guess cards are kind of tiles, just really thin ones!3 points -
Big Pharma rules with greed. When I was 14 and diagnosed with Type I diabetes, insulin cost about $20-$25 a vial (monthly supply). Now, it "costs " more than $300 per vial monthly (and that's being conservative). I put costs in double quotes because you and I know that, if anything, the cost should have gone down or at least remained the same given the advances in manufacturing over the past 4 decades. Now the diabetic market is flooded with useless gimmicks as more people are becoming (or have been made) diabetic. Medical insurance knows it so they deny diabetics adequate insulin and force them to take cheaper watered-down versions of insulin like Admelog which they falsely claim works the same. I believe, they have the cure and won't reveal it because that would kill their cash cow.3 points

Neither have covid in it unlike the flu shots which have the dead virus in it. mRNA supposedly activates your immune system to fight covid, then turns you into a zombie. The other one has a covid protein in it, but not actually the virus... and then well.. turns you into a zombie. In any case, you can apply to be a zombie on the cod4 zombie server.3 points

This would be fun. We could try playing with a private server. If we don't have enough of a head count we could do some scoring based on multiple games like I have seen many tourneys ran. I would be game to play. Some of the most active players I see are @Hawk @AthenA @Lunkster @ReaPeR and Boots (Don't see or know his name on the site) Also a simple one to run as well would be a duo gunfight tourney etc.2 points

Roxy! reacted to Sitting-Duc for a topic
Probably the wrong audience but thought I would ask all the same. I have been working on an 'online Scrabble' app for my mum and her Scrabble club to use as they have been unable to meet in person. A little too late as we will (hopefully) soon be out of lockdown! I am aware there are other Scrabble apps and websites that are around but my mums friends and her struggle with them and don't like them so I took their list of requirements and made them something. Is there anyone here interested that would be up for doing some testing of what I have created to aide the development? Here's the link if anyone is interested: https://www.talkwithtiles.com/1 point -

All of my brothers and I wanted to do this.
WeednFeed reacted to BigPapaDean for a topic
My youngest was the one that was able to do it. My dad had this old car from 1958 that he bought brand new. The engine blew up and he got a new car. This one sat under some pinion trees for years and us boys would go out and play in it. Then when we all left home it was moved as some of the family wanted to restore it. It was white but it is now maroon or something like that.1 point -
Best Buy Scam Email
RobMc reacted to fbi_open_up for a topic
There is a Best Buy email scam going around, it will say thanks for renewing your pc protection software for $299. The return email is @gmail.com and they list a phone number that they want you to call DONT DO IT, they are trying to get you to open your bank account. I got the email myself once I noticed it was a gmail account warning lights went off. Gmail accounts are notorious for scammers to use, you have been warned.1 point -

I like @RobMc idea on this and just a thought but could these additional points be applied to this once all tiles are out...In what could be seen as the finale bonus round points at the end and may contribute to deciding the winning score...This would make players more mindful of word choices with both length and points earned on a single word1 point

mRNA Resynchronization Underway
Timmah! reacted to GhostfaceJim for a topic
Update! I got my second shot on Monday, kinda hurt a little locally, but it wasn't so bad. Not sure if I am a lizard person yet!1 point -
@Sitting-Duc, well that would be a good addition a page where people who want to play could issue 'invites', say for 12 hours before expiring. That way if you join you can choose who to play with, also a method of cancelling a game if someone starts then doesn't want to complete, the victory going to the last one playing. A league table would be fun too, but perhaps take some of the fun away for some. Highest score Longest word But you need some way of seeing who wants to play definitely, as Rosie says you may need to divide further into 1v1, or 3/4 players but once a game starts make sure no one else can join.1 point

Indeed and thank you ! lol But I work in a school, so as the nurses back in January, all schools staff members are allowed to have their vaccine. They only need a proof of our employer. I can have the Moderna one as early as in 2 weeks.1 point
