Sorry, I don't know how to import the info as many have done.Next to unbelievably, in the first word - I got four letters used, wrong location, at 1, 3,4 and 5 - yellow.Second word - one in correct spot, no. 1 - green: three yellow in second word, altered locations at 3,4 and 5 .Wrong letter is black. There was one in the first word, one in the second, and I got two in the third when I used an outside letter where the green had been in the second word. Unbelievably, of the 30 letters in the full 6 tries I needed, only 6 were black! And only 7 yellow, total 13! edIn that third word, all four known letters were green, at 1, 3, 4 and 5!Fourth word - wrong guess letter at no.2. bakerSame story at fifth word.Fortunately picked the needed letter at sixth try!Given my advantages ... sure glad that I picked the correct letter at location 2! I think that I'd be embarrassed for a month if I hadn't! 8829I'd be happy to share the words that I used should you send me an email. @Interesting morning, with catheter blockage on the agenda along with this escapade - but succeeded in getting it cleared, won't trouble you with details here. gmailHope you're all having an interesting and fruitful Sunday (if the fruit's not a tad too expensive to pass muster in your domain). .com (not "calm", that is)ole joyfuelled (most of the time)

needlessly resurrected

The reply which brought back the thread was made by the OP himself, not some random commenter. And since this is a community and we know a bit about its members, we know that Ed due to circumstances cannot post frequently. Several people have posted about their Wordles, fitting right into the previous posts.

It's always good to hear from you, joyful.calm! :-) Wordle is fun, both is figuring out the word and in seeing patterns in how the letters fall into place (hopefully into the correct place!) There are plenty of days I'm 100% sure I've got it, only to see that nope, there was at least one more possibility.

Rotator cuff is hurting a lot. Your experience?
Q
Comments (41)
I felt a growing pain from my right shoulder, 4 years ago. It was not from a sudden injury, but apparently more of a 'frayed' tear, caused by wear and tear, literally. My sister had rotator cuff repair surgery a year prior, and urged me to try physical therapy before opting for surgery. My doctor referred me to a physical therapist specializing in rotator cuff injuries. I did 3 weeks of formal therapy, then just took home the pamphlets they provided, and continued therapy on my own. I bought a stretchy bungee type strap and some light weights. At first it was pretty painful doing the exercises, but every week it became less so. Eventually I just did exercises, like the dangling arm rotation, without any accessories. About 3 months later I kind of let that fizzle out, as I no longer had any pain when using my arm. I've had no pain since then, but don't have full flexibility in my right arm, which I realize may have been recovered if I'd had surgery, or done the exercises for longer. However, the flexibility I lost does not affect anything I would need to do. With my 'good' arm, I can nestle my left elbow tight to my side, then move my forearm up my spine and reach the nape of my neck with my left hand, or lift my right arm over my shoulder and grab my left hand with my right one. But I can't nestle my right elbow right against my side, and can only inch my right arm to just above my bra clasp. I don't know if it's scar tissue or simply that my arm didn't heal fully from the exercises, to regain my former flexibility. Regardless, I have full flexibility in every other way with my right arm and shoulder, with no pain. So I'm satisfied with my choice to avoid surgery, as I don't do well with either anesthesia or painkillers.

Supply Chain Disruptions - Your Experiences
Q
Comments (52)
Here in Australia the perspective is a little different. Right now, there don't appear to be too many shortages, but the experts are warning they're coming, along with higher prices, for things like meat and fresh produce. The abattoirs and meat processing plants have had their production cut by something like 20% to comply with covid-safe work regulations. Farmers have been heavily reliant for years on the backpacker population to pick fruit and harvest crops, but of course they're not here because of our closed borders, and the program to bring in Pacific Islanders to replace them is still quite small. Aside from those largely domestic issues, we're coping with some of the same problems that the rest of the world is facing. Covid has closed down some of the big ports, especially in Asia, which has obviously disrupted supply chains. Ships are sitting offshore waiting to unload, and that has contributed to a shortage of shipping containers. And we keep hearing of ships whose whole crews have had to be quarantined because Covid is running through the crews. Worldwide car manufacturing is well down on normal levels because of the shortage of chips due to Covid outbreaks in the main manufacturing countries (Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc). Reduced manufacturing capacity in Asia generally as a result of Covid is further contributing to supply issues. And of course China is having its manufacturing capacity hamstrung by coal shortages (in part a product of its trade skirmishes with Australia) which have led to ongoing power outages. I understand Apple and Tesla in particular have been affected. So, we're looking at a perfect storm of circumstances contributing to the problem. That said, we have no shortage of toilet paper here in Aus so all is good 😉

ole joyful needs help - what foods need I eat to build blood back up?
Q
Comments (32)
I've fed myself for years, and solo son is here with me. They've planned a return of my visiting nurse who came about monthly to change catheters after my car died almost two years ago, I'd visited clinic for two or three years prior, I expect no ongoing need, as surgeon inserted a pipe through my prostate last fall and no catheters since, prior to the blood a couple of weeks ago. I knew how to change catheters, had done it once when a blockage, nurse not immediately available and lacked transport to hosp. urgent care. My prostate has long been large, about ten years ago when some guys were telling of their distaste for the doc putting finger up rearend to investigate, I laughed and asked, "You think you got problems - how'd you like to be your doc?"! They'd never thought about that! Sometimes if we can put ourselves into someone else's shoes for a while, it'll help us get some more neighborly view of life, and if more of us did it more often, it'd help build happier communities. Of 12 samples taken about then cancer found in 6 or 7 had 35 shots radiation, no chemo, managed without incident since, doc said he found no evidence of cancer when he put that pipe in last fall. When doc's happy - I'm happy. Prior to the surgery, when nurse called to instruct me, when she asked me to explain in own words what to happen, I said urethra yelling at prostate - "My job is to take urine to the outside world and you're squeezing so much that I can't do it - would you darn well stay in your own lane!". The nurse laughed, saying "That's the best one I've heard all day! I've gotta tell it to my friends!" I said, "Ma'am, you guys in health care have had huge pressures and stresses to deal with for over three years now and you've persisted and been there for us when we needed you, and if you find some stress relief in some of my humour, go for it!". Some lack of energy and stamina, but feeling well, next to no pain or difficulties, getting quite a lot of sleep. Was taking glucosamine sulfate to help with joints, I was off all my regular meds while in hosp. and now that I'm back on some discomfort in right shoulder improving. ole joyful

Everyday I play it, I think of this forum and how many said they only needed one word to begin guessing. And not the same one. I always need my first two words. I sometimes invoke my third word, just to get enough letters. It's amazing how many tries some words take ;)

Get well!

Hi rob,

What at are your first two words?

I often use "swear" or "wares" as my first word and back when I wrote this made lists of results using various candidates for second word, but have been decluttering house and have lost the list. Decluttering seems to be a worthwhile winter project.

Without a car and living 6 miles from a village and 13 to 20 from a city, I've been doing some hitchhiking, so am thankful that our winter has been mild thus far.

My first word is always either ”STARE” or ”ASTER” as they are the more common vowels and consonants. If there are few or no matches I go for ”QUOIN” as that covers the remaining vowels and one more very commonly used consonant. If I still only get one or no vowels then I consider ”Y” may be involved :-)

I have some lists of random five-letter words and I pick one. I have never gotten one on the first try and get excited when I get at least one green one there. There's a new TV called Lingo with RuPaul which is like Wordle.

I use the ten most common letters for my first two words, which tend to be ACORN/TILES or LEARN/STOIC. If I want to swap an H for the C, I used ARSON/LITHE, not necessarily in that order.

This generally helps me on the Canuckle puzzle - I've more or less stopped playing Wordle, and Foodle now appears to be defunct.

When playing Quardle, I use the 15 most common letters for my first three words, and I have some variations on those. The first groups I came up with is ADORN/THUMP/SLICE, but sometimes I want to use a G, B, F, or Y instead of H or M, and I have different groups of words for those variations.

I have no problem with people resurrecting threads - I do it from time to time.

On the Laundry Forum, people there jump on others who ask questions that have been asked before and demand that people search archives before asking a question. At least that is how it used to be, and I was warned not to ask a question there, and so I avoid that forum.

I personally do not know why anyone would object to old thread being resurrected. I think it is more efficient to do that than to start a new thread that is almost identical.

I'll offer a comment to lars, one of my favorite contributors.

I noted that this thread was originally tagged with three forums, one of which being Retirement. That lit a small light of interest. There I found the thread linked below, another head scratcher. The conversation ended 5 years ago, but for the last two contributions.

Another that needs to RIP

In this setting, it's used to say "I'm not going to respond to your comment". Keep your language usage book out, I'm sure you'll encounter more colloquial phrases today.
rob333 (zone 7b)

I think people don't need to say that. It's more effective to actually ignore. Saying "I'm going to ignore you" is a ploy to draw attention to the person who said it. I'm sure you can see that.

Is "elmer" a useful 5-letter word in this context ...

... it seems to have appeared here over half a dozen times.

Maybe I/we? should try it on Wordle. Would you recommend it as first try?

I, too, enjoy seeing your name pop up and reading what you have to say. It's a testament to your fortitude what you go through to get to town and a computer to post once in a while. It appears there is only one person who is rude to you, but you are not his only target, so welcome to the club! His comments reflect who he is, not who you are or what others think of you.

Another great experience just the other day ... was it while I was in hosp.? Don't remember.

First word I tried "wares", as often do, or "swear".

"R", third position, was green.

"A", second, yellow: correct letter, wrong location.

Wanted to try "a" at location 1, so what word would I need with "r" as third letter? Where did "acrid" come from ... sliding into my brain?

Let's give it a try.

First letter was green, also second, and third was green from the start ... and so were 4 and 5!

Comment was something like "Magnificent"!

And I was pleased with myself: was it once that I'd ever before got it on second try?

Don't remember.

By far the largest number of winners on the way to 93% success rate for me is the fourth try.

ole joyful

P.S. I've had a phone with multiple capabilities for just over four years, so do a lot of stuff using it.

Having some problems, and the guys where I got it are trying to get me to pitch it and get a better one (pretty well same price).
