Does anyone else still have yesterday's clues?

12:32 am

cybernan

right click on the clues and choose refresh from the drop down menu

12:32 am

dfmchfhf

haven't listed yet, try a hard refresh (shift+F5)?

12:32 am

dfmchfhf

or maybe it's ctrl+F5

12:32 am

SueMagee

No, Iâ€™ve got todayâ€™s. Sorry!

12:33 am

Flask1

ok...thanks!

12:34 am

rbud

or right-click in the margins of Lickety's and hit reload or refresh page or whatever... at least that works on desk models

12:35 am

Flask1

The control + F5 did it...thankyou!

12:35 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm more than halfway, NBT, NBS, and that means it's waaay past time to brush my teeth and head to bed.

G'night all

12:35 am

dfmchfhf

it sometimes will pull up your previous view of the page especially if you have "save data" or "load faster" settings on (like chrome does by default) even if you refresh normally, ctrl+F5 or shift+F5 forces the page to load fully

12:36 am

dfmchfhf

1:32 am

1:32 am

hurshy

the level of enthusiasm

1:33 am

sprite

1:33 am

grannyrose

bless you sweet hurshy. *sends some enrgy over*

1:33 am

sprite

no reason you should, hursh. Just be yourself and we will love you to pieces.

1:34 am

hurshy

mk thanks :)

1:35 am

hurshy

my good deed for today did not go unpunished. i noticed that one of my sister's gerbils had blood on one leg. so we decided to get her out and try to gently clean the wound with a wet cotton ball and a little dish soap. i held her while my sister cleaned, and the poor little freaked-out scamp bit me.

1:35 am

sprite

aw poor hursh

1:35 am

sprite

gerbil is a phantom today

1:36 am

hurshy

indeed

1:36 am

hurshy

but the one that bit me was no phantom, lol

1:36 am

Flask1

lol Hurshy...

1:36 am

sprite

hiya Flask!

1:36 am

sprite

definitely not, lol. Sharp teeth on them too.

1:37 am

Flask1

Hiya Sprite

1:37 am

hurshy

i just hope that the wound won't get infected

1:37 am

Flask1

you'll be fine!

1:38 am

hurshy

we read that rodents have fatal reactions to certain antibiotics, though others help, and we couldn't find the name of the one my sister had for her dogs in any of the lists of either safe OR fatal, so we decided not to try to use it

1:38 am

sprite

*healing desinfectant vibes to hurshy's finger*

1:38 am

grannyrose

hey ya flask. long time no see honey

1:38 am

hurshy

no i mean the GERBIL'S wound, i'm worried about her

1:38 am

hurshy

if mine gets infected, i'll get treated and i will not die

1:39 am

sprite

let it lick the wound as much as it wants

1:39 am

Flask1

Hey Granny...nice to see you, how are?

1:39 am

hurshy

well of course, sprite. we can't really stop her from that anyway.

1:39 am

sprite

long time no see indeed, Flask. How are you doing?

1:39 am

grannyrose

have done better flask, but not gonna die just yet... loll

1:40 am

hurshy

hey i just had that thing where you type in something and don't expect it to work and yet it does

1:40 am

Flask1

Well Granny am pleased for you, how was your christmas?

1:41 am

grannyrose

btw, sprite, flask, it is looking more promising for May 2019. i, and DH, will most certainly be over for 4 weeks then.

1:41 am

sprite

we once did all we could to prevent Terra from licking a wound at his foot, then the vet told us we should have let him, it is their way to clean the wound and usually works better than the things we can think up.

1:41 am

sprite

awesome, rose!

1:41 am

hurshy

would humans licking our own wounds help clean them?

1:42 am

grannyrose

christmas was frenetic to say the least, flask. hence today being a recovery day..

1:42 am

Flask1

Hurshy, tell us what the word was then we can all try it and see if it works us?

1:42 am

sprite

probably not, hursh, with all the bad stuff we eat like sugars and all

1:42 am

grannyrose

hurshy, have you never sucked a jammed finger, or a paper cut?

1:42 am

hurshy

well flask, it is an en6. you take a normal en6 word meaning to last well over time, and then you change the last letter

1:43 am

hurshy

yes, granny, i have sucked, but not licked.

1:43 am

sprite

this convo is going downhill fast, LOLOLOL

1:44 am

grannyrose

*giggle* hurshy....

1:44 am

hurshy

this one, i tried to push out blood for a while, washed, and put on antibiotic ointment and a bandaid

1:44 am

sprite

sounds good to me

1:44 am

Flask1

Wow! it worked for me too.....do you have anymore like that???...lolol

1:44 am

hurshy

what i gathered from the internet seems to indicate that it is not nearly so worrisome as a cat bite

1:46 am

hurshy

well, i have made one trip through the grid. i have half the 7s but no 8s or 9s, with 27 words left altogether

1:46 am

Lizlin

Hi all

1:46 am

sprite

not too bad

1:46 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hello dear one! Great to see you, how are you doing?

1:46 am

grannyrose

it was the same for me hurshy. those biggies totally eluded me too.

1:46 am

Flask1

Yes, I think the big ones are hard today!

1:47 am

grannyrose

HEY LIZGIRL !!!!

1:47 am

hurshy

1:47 am

Lizlin

1:48 am

grannyrose

en8/9. en + most of extinct bird + epid***, top layer of skin

1:48 am

hurshy

no flask, i'm just asking anyone who might be able to assist, such as granny, who spoke in the past tense :)

1:49 am

hurshy

ahhh thanks granny :)

1:49 am

sprite

thanks for the skinny ones

1:49 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose.

1:50 am

hurshy

i always enter the forest moon of Endor, even though it's both fictional and proper

1:50 am

grannyrose

ge9. ge + most of sign of future + first part of neptunes fork.

1:50 am

sprite

I have that same thing with Oreo. Cannot stop myself.

1:51 am

hurshy

ooh what a fancy one!

1:51 am

sprite

sign of future?

1:51 am

hurshy

sign of future = om4

1:51 am

sprite

ohhhhh right, thanks

1:51 am

Lizlin

Thanks again.

1:52 am

sprite

thanks

1:52 am

grannyrose

me9. me + first part of dessert made with sponge, jelly and fruit + last part of no longer living

1:54 am

Lizlin

Thanks again, again ðŸ˜Š

1:54 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™d never have found those without clues.

1:54 am

hurshy

no longer living = dead... ead = not in the grid... = confused hurshy

1:54 am

sprite

past tense, hursh

1:54 am

Lizlin

The act of becoming that way, hurshy

1:54 am

grannyrose

now i will stop, before sprite reaches out through the screen and puts a trangle hold around my throat... loll

1:55 am

sprite

don't stop, lol, am loving the clues.

1:55 am

grannyrose

*giggle* strangle*

1:55 am

hurshy

but if i use the past, then i can't get it to be 9 or if i do it is ... maybe i have the wrong dessert

1:56 am

hurshy

i thought dessert = to5

1:56 am

grannyrose

dessert rhymes with stifle

1:56 am

Flask1

what the first part of the fork called?

1:56 am

sprite

hursh, try this:
Absolutely frozen to stone from fear, change first letter into M

1:56 am

Lizlin

Rhymes with being really scared pe 9 (notion grid)

1:56 am

grannyrose

much better clue sprite

1:57 am

hurshy

ahhh

1:57 am

Lizlin

Easier the way Sprite wrote it.

1:57 am

hurshy

both ways work if you have the right dessert lol

1:57 am

sprite

*takes bow* Thank you, thank you, couldn't have done it without you all though

1:57 am

hurshy

i guess if i think i know that a to5 is not made with sponge

1:58 am

Flask1

am still stuck on the GE clue

1:58 am

hurshy

(insert comma after "think" in that sentence)

1:58 am

grannyrose

if there is ever a WRONG dessert, please don't tell me... loll

1:58 am

hurshy

flask it is mostly a math subject

1:58 am

Lizlin

Flak - more often ends with c

1:58 am

hurshy

but then you make the ending like if you want to pay with a personal check you may have to show two forms of...

1:58 am

Flask1

I know...just can't get the ending

1:59 am

sprite

it ends in inversed soil, filthiness

1:59 am

hurshy

i put about the ending but idk if the thing about checks is only a US thing

1:59 am

Lizlin

ChampFit

Unpacking is not my favorite thing.

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's why i did not let it slide. empty food containers and presents must still be dealt with.

3:20 pm

ChampFit

You're doing the right thing.

ChampFit

That sounds wonderful!

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

my sil has become wary of the ingriedients in commercial dressings, so has begun to make her own. we had lemon and fig

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was very good. dressings are easy to make but i never do unless it's for a recipe.

3:26 pm

ChampFit

It takes a bit more time, but home made are always better to me.

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's so true! even a simple balsamic vinegrette.

3:28 pm

ChampFit

I assume because of all the preservatives in store bought.

Holy Moly. I don't think I have spent more than 2 waking hours away from the cooker in the past 4 days. Full Irish breakfasts every day - soup & sandwiches 3 hours later - then a full meat, potatoes & 2 veg dinner 3 hours after that. I'm exhausted.

3:57 pm

ChampFit

What the heck are you doing, Soodle? Don't your people have hands? :)

3:58 pm

NatashaW

Sounds like you need to rechristen the "holidays" to the "hellidays"! Make them help more?!?!

4:01 pm

Soodle

I launched a protest this evening. Apparently - breakfast will be delivered to the Soodle-Bed in the morning...

4:01 pm

ChampFit

Well done!

4:02 pm

Soodle

Lol, we'll wait & see what gets offered, Champ!!

4:03 pm

ChampFit

As long as there's a warm beverage and a little something-something...

4:04 pm

Soodle

Apart from being chained to the cooker, Christmas Chez Soodle was lovely. I hope yours (all reading this) was as peaceful & pleasant.

4:04 pm

NatashaW

I have learned never to critique those offerings however terrible... I smile and swallow and figure it beats getting up and making b-fast myself!!

4:05 pm

NatashaW

Plus, I'm still (vainly) trying to create a habit of thinking of others...

4:05 pm

NatashaW

The only time I complained was when they put salt in my coffee thinking it was sugar. :'_

4:05 pm

Soodle

Natasha - my mantra in these times is 'What's seldom is wonderful'

4:06 pm

NatashaW

INDEED!!

4:06 pm

NatashaW

But it could be less "seldom" and then they'd be better at doing it!

4:06 pm

ChampFit

It's all been good here. Still like everyone. The college kids are less messy this time, and married son/daughter in law were present and helpful when requested.

4:07 pm

NatashaW

I trained my DH to do the laundry. It did involve "sacrificing" several beloved pieces of clothing to his "mistakes" with the bleach. But I bit my tongue till it bled and now he does the laundry without being asked.

4:08 pm

Soodle

Always good when you still like everyone after the holidays, Champ. I'd call that a result!!

4:08 pm

NatashaW

If you still like everyone on the 27th... wowee kazowee!

4:08 pm

ChampFit

The laundry is always a pain in the butt. May be "done", but still in dryer. May be done and out of dryer, but on kitchen table. And yes soodle...agreed!

4:08 pm

ChampFit

It does help that they're working and earning money on their break. We all get some apart time.

4:08 pm

NatashaW

I'm happy to fold so long as I don't have to cart it up and down the stairs!

4:09 pm

Guys - if any of you subscribe to Amazon Prime .... Believe me.... Outlander is one of the best series I have ever watched.

4:12 pm

ChampFit

okey dokey.

4:13 pm

ChampFit

I loved the books, just haven't gotten caught up in the series yet. The girls got me into The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and am loving that. Only 2 seasons though.

4:13 pm

Soodle

Bye Natasha ((()))

4:16 pm

Soodle

Sheesh.... Mrs Maisel did nothing for me!! But... Outlander... great story, really well told & & more eye candy than you could shake a stick at!!!!

4:17 pm

ChampFit

Well of course! If you haven't read the books...highly recommend.

4:17 pm

ChampFit

I love the clothing and styles of Mrs. Maisel. Very nostalgic.

hi egbok, welcome to Babble. Just to let you know, we try not to put "answer" words in the chat. Only clues, and only when asked for. Sometimes people make typos and put words in by mistake & that's okay. hope that's alright with you. You can put all your personal info in your lovely profile, including pix and your music, too! Enjoy.'

I think do6/7 is a Brit term for what we here in these united states call bumper cars. I've never heard those words used for them either.

6:48 pm

NANCY

well I am from Michigan originally and that is what we called them all the time.

6:50 pm

NANCY

it is a shortened term for the word them at the end

6:50 pm

NANCY

meaning avoid them

7:01 pm

MollyL

Ah, I see. Maybe it's a regional thing here in the land of the free and the home of the brave, then.

wow so many clues and all great. ty ty ty

8:56 pm

mkg

i dont do the birthdays.

8:58 pm

mkg

we give 1K check when they are born. then every year, each child and spouse (6 kids, 6 spouses) and every grand child get $36 dollars for hanukah gelt. 36 is the number of candles lit for chanukah: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8. it is also double chai in hebrew meaning double life which is a great thing to wish someone. so for all the grands and kids and spouses we give over 1200 dollars for chanukah........it adds up.

8:59 pm

mkg

otherwise, when i visit, i bring my bubby bag full of freebees for kids to take if they wish, and i sometimes take kids to the dollar store to get treats.

9:00 pm

mkg

that is all i do unless there is financial need and then of course it is the parents we would give money to.......so far luckily most of them are fine. but two are struggling and we help.

9:02 pm

mkg

we hope that those 2 will soon be on their feet and doing well.........they are holding jobs and managing and we love them a lot. and what is money for if not to help. my husband came from a family where his father hoarded money and claimed poverty his entire life. when he died all were shocked at how rich he was and the IRS took it all as he did nothing to protect it......it was horrible. so we would rather give to kids now if we can. just now we must take from our retirement accounts and so if we have extra we will be traveling and then fixing our house as it badly needs. and after that if any is left, we will give gifts evenly.

9:03 pm

PastorJ

you have a well-thought-out plan - that's awesome!

9:04 pm

bichon

Good morning Vietnam. We're on the Me Kong river
