I played with your name.

Well, I don't know where I've been all this time. I didn't even know about the 10Ks!

2 months ago mollusque said:

The 10K's have been tagged (so far), so I figured the 20K's should be too. C_b almost snuck hers by, but I happened to be watching.

Off I go again--this time for a couple weeks. All you regulars had better hold down the Wordie fort until I return! :-D

Ciao....

5 months ago reesetee said:

Aw, thanks! It was harder than I thought to go cold turkey. And me with a vacation coming up. :-)

Welcome back, Rt! You were missed!

5 months ago mollusque said:

Reese who? (Welcome back!)

5 months ago reesetee said:

Good grief! Wordie comments tell me I've been away from the site for 11 days. Can it be true?

No wonder my life has gone downhill.... ;-)

EDIT: Seven days. That's slightly reassuring.

Do you mean in a Scottish accent?

7 months ago reesetee said:

Glad to hear it (about the earthquake). And glad you liked DC--I thought you would! It's one of my favorite cities.

7 months ago Prolagus said:

None of my relatives and friends lives in the earthquake area, but it was nonetheless a shock. Thanks for asking.

DC is a gem. All those cherry tree blossoms! And the Tidal Basin! And Julia's empanadas!

Believe it or not, "swim."

8 months ago mollusque said:

Congratulations reesetee! What was the lucky word?

8 months ago reesetee said:

¡Muchas gracias, amigo! I think I've just exhausted all my Spanish--but thank Madrid para mí! :-)

Oroboros, I've seen that before and it cracks me up every time. Birds and ice cream: they go together like...uh...birds and ice cream.

¡¡¡¡ FELICITACIONES !!!!

La comunidad autónoma de Madrid ha declarado hoy, el 11 de marzo, un dia de festivos generales en reconocimiento del hecho de que REESETEE, un ciudadano honorario, ha alcanzado 20.000 palabras añadidas a Wordie.

Brindamos por éste logro formidable.

8 months ago Prolagus said:

Oh, roboros! It's filed under seagullibility.

8 months ago oroboros said:

Hey! Just noticed you hit the big two-oh-kay. Congratulations!...but you're making me feel waaaay underwordied! :-)

Oh, and here's something you'll get a kick out of (I hope):

X@#!% Birds.

Oh, never mind that image I tried to post. I made it to 20,000. :-D

Oh.

Well, I understand there is a cure for that condition, but you'll probably end up with the DT's from Wordiewithdrawal.

I am, apparently, teetering on the brink of having 20k words. =:-O

Thanks, hernesheir--glad to hear you're enjoying it, and that you're enjoying the birds themselves!

9 months ago hernesheir said:

Love your list of common names for birds! Just today I was watching chippies under my bird feeder and in my crape myrtle trees in cloudy Florida, and thought of your list.

10 months ago reesetee said:

Wow. I hadn't looked at my word count in ages! Maybe I should have a party for all the Wordies I've yoinked from. :-)

10 months ago chained_bear said:

Holy carp diem, reesetee, you're going to hit 20,000 words if you're not careful! Watch your head!

Hey reesetee! I finally got around to creating an account on Flickr. If you're interested in some views of where I do most of my birding, check out my Flickr also-on link.

about 1 year ago telofy said:

Great to hear someone is enjoying my lists. :-)
Good luck listing.

about 1 year ago telofy said:

Hi, to screen my Grandiloquent Dictionary list for misspellings I wrote a script that searches each word's page for "misspell". When running the word through OED I had to decide whether or not I wanted to count these alternative spellings as misspelling. I decided in favor of that approach for in the OED page of these words, they are indicated thus: "query_type=misspelling". So I don't necessarily see misspelling and variant spelling as contradictory. What do you think?

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Always collecting knots. Thanks, c_b. :-)

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

I think there might be some knots for you on Matthew Walker and double-crowned wall-knot, if you still want any.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Haha! Yes, I think I mentioned that on bilby's Porn Birds list. Cracks me up. :-)

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Reesetee, I think someone made this for you.

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

Yes, but you can't see our gestures while typing.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Glad to hear it. Enjoy!

about 1 year ago Elisheba said:

thank you for your suggestions reesetee :-) i'm already having great fun in the wordiesphere :-))

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Actually, I have thought of that--well, extinct, but not necessarily prehistoric. What exactly did you have in mind, as if I didn't know? ;->

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Reesetee, assuming your renovation is nearing completion, I wondered if you had ever considered making a list of extinct prehistoric birds...? If so, have I got a deal for you.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Okay, okay. I'll try to keep it down.

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

See the cellophane citation at octopus.

To all: Please excuse my dust as I reorganize and knock down a few walls. Those empty lists will be filled soon enough. :-)

See what WordNet has come up with for brent.

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

Sorry. Apparently, I replied to myself. Not unusual, however, as almost absolutely nobody listens to me -- except my birds. And, myself, of course. But still, my Cooper's Hawk is crying...she just won't stop and I think I'm the only one listening to her. I'll go out and investigate again.

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

I know! Thank you! She lost two babies already this year (well, one, she thinks she lost two, but we called our local rescue place to come and get one of them...long story)...

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

I'm going outside to see what I can find. She's putting herself in danger...

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

rt -- I have a Cooper's Hawk situation on my property... I know this isn't the forum...can you help? I think Mamma Hawk is going a little nutty (things have happened).... I want to cry...

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Gosh, bilb, I'm honored! And a reef egret to boot--how can anyone be luckier? (Even gangerh doesn't get that kind of prize.) :-D I shall treat Bangau with all the respect and honor due a bird of his/her importance and stature. But I think I'll need to fly it back to Indonesia before I'm arrested. *runs off to pack*

about 1 year ago Elisheba said:

thank you reesetee! :-)

about 1 year ago bilby said:

Reesetee! The old stager, despite not being one of the subject Wordies, crashed the party with a mighty SECOND PRIZE in Identify the Wordie #2! Way to go, limpkin! Well, I've travelled all the way to Indonesia in search of a suitable prize and brought you back bangau, a reef egret. Can you believe that? Wow! Congratulations!

thank you! it's all.. all warm and fuzzy here. but i think that's the words talking.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Reesetee, you are aware of John's godlike work in instituting a "most commented-on" section and that other link under "comments" that I keep using but can't remember the name of from one page to the next... right?

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Indeed, skip--John's god work is never done, apparently. :-)

Tolland: Don't look at me. I may have a huge desk, but it is penisbone-free.

There must be a better way to say that.

about 1 year ago Tolland said:

Penis bones?! Where have I been? D;

But check out the cool news features that John has god worked for us.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Good grief--away one week and 3,000 comments to read when I return. Could you guys type a little more slowly?? ;-)

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

Thank you reesetee (for the congrats here and there on Wordie). There is always a reason to make a tiramisù, I think.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Good grief, galoot--you have penis bones on your desk too? It's an epidemic!

about 1 year ago dontcry said:

"Swell." *snort!*

about 1 year ago galoot said:

If nothing else, those bones on my desk make swell paperweights.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Thanks, O! I'll check it out. :-)

Time elapsed between (1) me referencing an old Dr. Demento song over at untonsured and (2) reesetee catching my reference and posting the lyrics: 2 minutes.

This fills me with joy. :-)

about 1 year ago palooka said:

They have long lunch breaks in India c_b which is why reesetee has ample time to spend on Wordie.

He's generally not around on Saturdays though, so that must be when he washes his Water Buffalo.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

*wondering how reesetee managed to make Wordie a full-time job* Lucky duck... ;)

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Day job, night job, and weekend job, thank you very much. I just so happen to have some time on my hands right now.

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

*wondering if reesetee has a day job*

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Right! I forgot about that. Should work now; thanks. :-)

You have to type your facebook ID number, as you can read it in your "profile page" URL.

What? The nerve of it! Try again, Prolagus. Don't know quite how to get it working if it doesn't redirect from the name....

about 1 year ago Prolagus said:

Reesetee, your facebook link doesn't work :-)

about 1 year ago VanishedOne said:

Thanks for the, um, accidental short story. (I wondered whether something like bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=534826 might work on Wordie, but I'm not sure it would fit the structure of the place.)

about 1 year ago dgstone said:

Yes, yes. I am definitely one of those. Many words sound beautiful to me, just like a song, so it makes sense that they would get stuck in my head.

about 1 year ago dgstone said:

Define "us" (in your comments to me). If you mean a Wordie, I definitely, definitely am. I am thrilled to have StumbledUpon this site.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Glad you figured them out, Treeseed--and hope you're enjoying them. :-)

about 1 year ago Treeseed said:

Hello again my dear reesetee...I have figured out tags... I think.

about 1 year ago Treeseed said:

reesetee, I don't understand the concept of tags. Can you please shed some light?How do they function? What is their purpose? I am obtuse...now there's a word. Thank you.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Thanks! I already caught that. :-)

about 1 year ago chained_bear said:

Reesetee, see hangi. You might want to list it someplace.

about 1 year ago Treeseed said:

OH MY GOD! reesetee! I just processed your explanation about citations! I didn't really comprehend what you meant about the little icon buttons under the words. I have been having the best time amusing myself with citations over the last few days...only to have the unsettling understanding dawn upon my vacant wilderness of a brain this minute that my efforts have most probably been a ludicrous and obnoxious thing to do...not to mention entirely redundant.
I feel like I walked out of the ladies' room with my skirt tucked up in my pantihose! Oh, well...

about 1 year ago Treeseed said:

Thank you, reesetee for explaining "citation". I love this place!

about 1 year ago Treeseed said:

Hi reesetee,
I am unsure of what is actually meant by a "citation"...sometimes I see words on here that have no definition or notes and of course many of them I can easily find in a dictionary...so is that what a citation is...a definition from a reliable source? What is the proper way to make a citation?
Thank you, from newbie Treeseed.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Zoiks! Thanks for pointing that out, mollusque. I haven't been paying attention to my wordometer lately. :-)

about 1 year ago mollusque said:

Hey reesetee, your wordometer's about to reach 11111.

about 1 year ago bilby said:

Hi dude. I was all excited on my walk today because I thought I had some birdie names you might have missed ... until I got back and saw you already have redstart, chiffchaff, etc. Hang on, there was also a coal tit and I know you love tits. Don't we all?! A few new ones on my Under The Kilt list after I spent a few hours picking the brains of the hostel manager. Be good :-)

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Not at all, SoG. I have a mini-zoo of finches. It's better than watching TV. :-)

I see you mention your birds, reestee. What birds do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks, cakemix! I switched it from squarehead, another favorite. :-)

i love your favourite word!

Hi reesatee, thanks for having the courage to notify me that I was raping the use of the site with my tags. The horrors are now undone.

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Thanks, all! Do I have to retire and/or go to Disney? I wouldn't mind the former, but I'd prefer not to do the latter. As for crashing the server, I assume John will let me know if it ever comes to that! *fingers crossed*

about 1 year ago Papageno said:

Yay! Quite a benchmark, reesetee! Surprised you haven't crashed the server yet.

about 1 year ago SonofGroucho said:

Congratulations on reaching 10,000 words, reesetee. Are you going to retire now?

about 1 year ago oroboros said:

My goodness reesetee, 10K! It's a little like layin' in firewood innit? Eventually you'll have more than you can ever burn and Beelzebub will be tappin' your stash for the fires of hell!!!

What's so yucky?

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

HAHA! There it is, on my profile! Now any time I want that earworm in my head, especially around...say...November 1, I'll know just where to find it!

I can't thank you enough, c_b. Really. But wait 'til next year.

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Hey Reesetee.... You know what today is, don't you? All Saints' Day!

(*singing*) FOR ALL THE SAINTS, WHO FROM THEIR LABOURS RESSSSST...

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Hey, thanks, c_b! I don't know why I didn't see your comment until now. :-)

Had never heard of this bird, but when I went searching for info, I found out that it's apparently a localized term for white-winged scoter. Still, it's worth adding, don't you think?

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Found another bird wird! Don't know if you have it already, or on which list:

brass wing(ed) diver, a.k.a. Eastern white-winged scoter (Newfoundland English), Melanitta deglandi deglandi. Ca. 1785.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Astute? Three out of eight? Naaaah. But thanks for the...er...trophy, uselessness! I'll display it, all right. ;->

over 2 years ago uselessness said: Congratulations!

You have emerged victorious from Identify the Wordie. You are an astute observer of people on the internet! I mean that in a good way! Make sure to come back for the next game so you can retain your title, champion.

This comment is your trophy. Display it with love for all the world to see.

over 2 years ago rejeneration said:

Thank you, thank you! I figured it was best to start off that way, instead of wait until later. I've only been here a few times, but this site is going to become my new obsession. -grin-

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

No need to apologize--completely understood. :-)

over 2 years ago jennarenn said:

Just wanted to apologize in case my comments on rhythm belcher came out the wrong way. You weren't the one I was worried about. :)

over 2 years ago uselessness said:

Okay, Facebook's kinda tricky to link to here, because it doesn't use regular usernames. You need to go to your profile page and look at the URL. At the end of it you'll see "id=12345678" ...just copy that ID number and paste it here on your Wordie profile for the link to work right.

And hurry up already, I want to add you as my friend! ;-)

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Thanks, Ecrivaine. I'm not very active on those two sites...yet. :-) Most of my free time is swallowed up by Wordie!

Oh, okay--and BookMooch.

over 2 years ago Ecrivaine33 said: Also, LibraryThing...

I also added you and sent an invite on LibraryThing. Have a good one. I'm Ecrivaine32 on that site.

over 2 years ago Ecrivaine33 said: Oh, wow, another "Blinklister" - Cool

I'm on Blinklist as Ecrivaine32

Looks like you just got started on Blinklist. Feel free to scoop from my over 21,000 links (currently). And thanks for the comment on Wordie.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Aw, shucks, palooka. You flatter me. :-) Also, you scare me--I think one of me is quite enough, thanks!

over 2 years ago palooka said:

Reesetee is an outstanding word-collector, a good guy & an extraordinary and intelligent asset to Wordie! We need more reesetees!

over 2 years ago slumry said:

You are prescient--I am addicted. Uh-oh!

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Trust me--you'll become addicted before too long! :-)

over 2 years ago slumry said:

Thanks again. I did delete the repetition, but I kind of enjoyed it while it lasted. I liked what you said about the fact everyone uses this site in a unique way--I have gone from "Huh?" to seeing lots of possibilities in 24 hours--and all because Librarything has been down!

over 2 years ago slumry said:

Thanks for the welcome. I am starting to see the possibilities here.
Shirley

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Can't be all that enormous if *I* didn't notice it.... ;-)

I really enjoy the fact that everyone uses this site differently. Me, I collect words like pebbles. I see one on the ground and I have to pick it up, look at it, and then stuff it in my pocket with a zillion other words. I'll dump 'em all out when I get home and probably save most of them. Other Wordies thread a few really wonderful words onto a necklace as though they were jewels--not a lot, but dazzling to see. Some pick up the curiosities, beautiful, ugly, or otherwise, and place them on display for others to marvel. Then there are those Wordies who have studios where they invent their own creations. And on and on.

Gotta love it....

over 2 years ago uselessness said:

Reesetee has an enormous e- ...uh, nevermind. As much as I love hanging around this site and commenting and stuff, I really don't add new words too often. A lot of the time, I'll add a new word just to leave a definition or comment on it, then remove it from my list because I don't have a need for it. Weird.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Whaaaa?? I wasn't even paying attention! Holy Word Monster, Batman! Geez, I hope John has lots and lots of storage room....

Actually, now that you mention it, I've been trying to sort through some of my (unbelievably) long lists and break them down into shorter ones--hence the Foodie list. As always, a work in progress.

over 2 years ago jennarenn said:

Dang! I just noticed that you've topped 5,000 during my sabbatical. Where do you keep them all? What are we going to do when you get to 10,000?

over 2 years ago jennarenn said:

Hey reesetee,

Check out WordPlay's profile. It's a game that uselessness and I have created for wordies. Round one starts at 1pm EST today.
