When I picked up Lickety's Babble Clues, the grid is different from today's has anyone else come across such a difference?

1:38 am

grannyrose

hello flosey. no probs here

1:39 am

flosey

Hi Rose, tks for responding I even closed it and came in again - same thing

1:40 am

grannyrose

okay, you have hit the refresh button, yes?

1:41 am

flosey

the top line of the babble clues is NAECR but the grid in Babble is ESMSL is that what others have found?

1:42 am

grannyrose

mine has ESMSL on the list. did you try the refresh arrow?

1:42 am

ursh

all fine here - refresh lickety

1:43 am

flosey

Ah, so I've found words with an incorrect grid??

1:45 am

flosey

have gone out and come in again, same thing

1:45 am

grannyrose

flosey, close and reopen babble itself.

1:45 am

sprite

good morning all. That looks like a total waste of a good Qu tile.

1:45 am

grannyrose

you hace yesterdays grid up still.

1:46 am

grannyrose

{{{{spritey}}}}}} how's my bestie today?

1:46 am

flosey

have gone out and come back - same old - yesterday;s

1:46 am

flosey

will try again

1:47 am

grannyrose

flosey, try the refresh arrow on the babble site then.

1:47 am

sprite

flosey, click somewhere on the blue background, then do Control + F5

1:48 am

sprite

*hugs rose* I am okay. Rob is ill :( Not an easy situation, with me not able to go about. We both have to fend for ourselves and get through this as best we can.

1:48 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Hello dear lady, how are you doing?

1:48 am

grannyrose

poor Rob. i feel for you both.

1:49 am

sprite

he is staying home from work today, that says enough about how he is feeling. Poor darling.

1:50 am

flosey

hi there Sprite - am a bit more than frustrated with tonight's babble - have gone out and come in a few times and still shows yesterday's grid, not the same as in babble clues

1:51 am

sprite

try my suggestion. A force refresh often does the trick.

1:51 am

flosey

hmmmm, don't know how to do that Sprite

1:52 am

sprite

click with the mouse somewhere on the blue background, then hold the Control key and push F5

1:54 am

flosey

same grid still showing!!

1:55 am

flosey

think I'll have to pass on tonight's grid - will try tomorrow morning, may have better luck BUT, thanks for suggestions

1:56 am

sprite

yvw, wish it had worked. You may have to empty your cache. You can try the force refresh a couple of times in a row if you like, that sometimes helps too.

1:57 am

flosey

tried again, same old!! Will see what tomorrow brings

1:58 am

sprite

so frustrating. *hugs flosey*

1:59 am

flosey

tks Sprite, and goodnight to all, will hope for better luck tomorrow

2:00 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey

2:00 am

grannyrose

sweetest of dreams. it was lovely to see you, albeit a frustrating one also.

2:00 am

sprite

how are you doing today, rose? Did Don have a good day yesterday?

2:03 am

grannyrose

ummm a bummer day today.... break through back pain. a slow burning aching which endone did help. also knee hates me. prepping for hospital admission tomorrow . pre-admitted for monitoring while taking the actual prep stuff. procedure on Wedneday.

2:04 am

sprite

is that for the endoscopy etc?

2:05 am

grannyrose

yesterday was the funeral for John Smith. this guy founded God Squad here in melbourne, since then it has gone australia wide, and now in five countries overseas. it was a wonderful celebration of his life.

2:05 am

grannyrose

yup, top and tail... hope doctor doesn't mix up the equipment...

2:06 am

sprite

may he rest in peace

2:07 am

sprite

poor darling. I will be thinking of you, honey.

2:08 am

grannyrose

don't think too hard. i am going to be too scared to cough, sneeze or giggle....

2:08 am

sprite

I will picture you in the Big Guy's loving hands, it will be okay.

2:10 am

grannyrose

thank-you sweetheart. i know. just uncomfortable. i am soooo hungry. i am used to scoffing heaps of fruit etc when i want to do so. and no sangria MWAHHH

2:11 am

sprite

*nods understandingly* Agony, pure and simple. Try keeping an icecube in your mouth.

2:11 am

grannyrose

good thought

2:16 am

sprite

phantom: utmost

2:25 am

sprite

I should give terra his breakfast. But once he has had it, he will want to go outside and that requires Rob to get up and dressed. So I am sitting here, waiting for Terra to wake up and demand food... until then... am sitting as quietly as I can

2:41 am

sprite

did you drown in the hiccup or is there a squirrel?

2:52 am

grannyrose

apologies honey. squirrel. back with you now. xoxox

2:52 am

sprite

all good :) I know how you are with squirrels, lol

2:52 am

grannyrose

haha

2:53 am

sprite

well, Terra has had his breakfast and Rob is up, doing a little round with him.

2:54 am

grannyrose

you finished the grid yet?

2:54 am

sprite

no, not yet

2:55 am

grannyrose

unusual for you, mistress of the flying fingers and keys....

2:56 am

sprite

lol! Have to put my laptop away every now and then to see to Rob and Terra. Things are a bit more complicated with a sick husband. Hard to predict which things I have to take over from him and which things he insists on doing himself...

2:57 am

grannyrose

*hand up for attention* i hope he doesn't need help to go potty....

2:58 am

sprite

his bladder is giving him hell, he is up every hour at the very least to go potty. Has been that way for half a week. Told him to take his pee to the doctor... he forgot! How can you forget when you feel the urge to pee every 10 minutes?

2:59 am

grannyrose

dos it sting when he pees?

3:00 am

sprite

not really. Right now it is not totally clear whether it is a bladder infection or his prostate. We will see. Doc wants his pee first :)

3:01 am

grannyrose

if it is a bladder infection, that could be why he feels so ill... tell him i'm coming over to smack him...HARD. *sigh* he isn't getting a gold star for NOT going to the doc.

3:03 am

sprite

lollll rob says to ask you who you are bringing along to smack him... he will spit you a black eye and drive your crazy with his feints :)

3:04 am

grannyrose

lol... i'll use the whole chicken and not just the feather....does he want the chicken fried or roasted??

3:05 am

grannyrose

oh and tell him i'll bring my right army and my left army... more thanenough...lol

3:05 am

sprite

roflollllll rob asks if the chicken may please be dead

3:06 am

grannyrose

hahahahahaha can't type....

3:07 am

grannyrose

right, have calmed down for now.... tell him he's a spoil sport... half the fun will be runnung after the chicken to catch it..

3:08 am

sprite

he is not doing a lot of running, poor man... his knee is giving him hell. You could do a limping race together

3:08 am

grannyrose

and trip him up with my cane... good idea !!

3:08 am

sprite

you win!

3:09 am

sprite

though rob is right now looking around the caravan to find both of my crutches :D

3:10 am

grannyrose

*giggle* how can you lose a pair of crutches in a caravan?

3:10 am

sprite

oh, I know exactly where they are. Rob doesn't. Male, you know. Can't see what is right in front of him.

3:11 am

grannyrose

and when are you going to let him in on the secret?

3:12 am

sprite

never. They are MINE! My precioussssesssss!

3:12 am

grannyrose

oh dear.....

3:15 am

sprite

*giggles* We have this lovely windchime that we brought along when we moved to the caravan. Rob thought it would be nice to hang it in the awning. Ever since, we have been having spring storms. I make him take them down every few days, they drive me nutty, lol.

3:16 am

grannyrose

oh heavens..... chimes during the day okay, at night not right...loll

3:16 am

sprite

exactly. Especially with storm. It is not the occasional nice little chime, it is a constant barrage of noise.

3:18 am

grannyrose

maybe a new nightly core, go out and immobilise the chimes for the night?

3:18 am

grannyrose

*chore*

3:18 am

sprite

nah, he has taken them down now and we will not put them up again until the weather starts behaving.

3:22 am

grannyrose

oh good grief.... now the "experts" are telling us time out for misbehaving kids can damage the kid.

3:22 am

sprite

oh for crying out loud...

3:24 am

grannyrose

*eye roll* even a traumatised child would benefit time to calm done before going on with what ever.

3:24 am

sprite

nothing wrong with teaching a child where the boundaries are. Makes for happy, relaxed children.

3:25 am

sprite

and keeps the parents' sanity intact

3:26 am

grannyrose

ugh... my temperature has just gone up... feel like i'm burning. going to turn fan on.

3:26 am

sprite

*sends some of the spring storm rose's way* Poor darling :( When are you going in for the infusions?

3:28 am

grannyrose

3:34 am

sprite

*hugs* to you and to the Donster. I hope the pain will subside and you will cool down a bit, so that you can sleep. You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. *hugS*

Back. Hello Molly

6:41 am

rubyfoo

OnSaturday, there were three herons in the garden at the same time. l've never seen more than one. They were very close to the house and stayed more than ten minutes

6:45 am

MollyL

I love herons. They are beautiful birds.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

lt was thrilling!

6:46 am

MollyL

There must be a lot of fish in your pond if there were three there at once. They are solitary creatures.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

The fish as still in the mud as it's too cold

6:47 am

rubyfoo

There are at least 200, maybe more

6:48 am

MollyL

If they are still as mud, they are easy to catch

6:48 am

rubyfoo

lf l run out of money, i can eat them -- just not Spot, or Clown, or Whitey

6:49 am

rubyfoo

No, the pond is too deep for that. Since there's no TV down there, they are probably making babies

6:52 am

rubyfoo

lt looks like snow!

6:53 am

rubyfoo

K.Elisabet

Hi everyone! Sauce on a pill bug was my first reaction!

9:53 am

MollyL

No, they are actually called pill bugs. They are little beetle like things that will roll into a ball if you touch them.

9:53 am

MollyL

Close up they look like little armadillos

9:53 am

gramma

I am lost. I'll just babble along and maybe later this will all make sense.

9:54 am

zoozzoom

Gramma, if you google jam roly poly.

9:54 am

K.Elisabet

The NY Times had an interactive a few years ago that asked you e.g. what you called those, and other regional specific terms. It was scary how close where you grew up could be pinpointed. Soda, coke, that kind of thing on the quiz.

9:55 am

K.Elisabet

I think it was just for the US though.

9:56 am

zoozzoom

Pill bugs are called woodlice here?

9:56 am

mixi6

Yes, there is a book with most of that.

zooz, I googled it and it looks wonderful.

10:00 am

K.Elisabet

I must have known someone from New Orleans because I definitely knew the word doodlebug when I was a kid.

10:01 am

zoozzoom

And it tastes wonderful too,Gramma!

10:01 am

Gramma Roly Poly is very easy to make, you can steam of bake it and it is cheap to make.

If you try that link, take the \n's out of it

I did read a recipe or two and I'll have to make it for my grands.

10:04 am

zoozzoom

K.Elisabet, babble does not like links. It will always add/n into it.

10:05 am

MollyL

This chat is written to only take so many characters
without a space. If there are more than that it adds
the \n and blows the chat width. That is why we
use tinyurl.com for links here

10:05 am

zoozzoom

Best to use tinyurl if you can.

10:06 am

MollyL

Now I'm laughing about some Brit
here saying they are eating roly poly
and Americans thinking that person
is eating bugs

10:07 am

Ha! Gross.

I read it's also called dead mans leg. So you tell me which is worse.

ruru what are you drinking instead of coffee besides water?

10:17 am

cybernan

there has to be a better substitute for coffee than water -

10:17 am

K.Elisabet

No coffee?

10:17 am

cybernan

Bushmill's maybe, or Bailey's?

10:18 am

rururocks

i'm drinking a lowered acid coffee ori recommended to me .. it's not too bad

10:20 am

MLFAN17

was the caffeine intake also an issue for you?

10:22 am

rururocks

no.. that wasn't the problem.. although i don't drink it after noon

10:23 am

MLFAN17

ruru congrats on being able to do that. I don't drink as much coffee as I used to. Its the type of coffee I think that is causing me to reduce my intake. I don't really "need" it

10:23 am

rururocks

i need the caffeine to get my heart started :D

10:24 am

MLFAN17

ruru started? you wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't beating lol

As opposed to most of the words in that
poem.

10:40 am

hokie carla

mosh still not a word, no matter how many times I try to make it one

10:42 am

K.Elisabet

And gimbal is a real word, but Gimble is a name. Speaking f Western swing - Johnny Gimble was a friend of a friend.

10:42 am

Trifioso

stop trying to make "mosh" happen!

10:43 am

hokie carla

also fest not a word (unlike fetch) :D

10:43 am

rururocks

closed out the s's.. this is going well now

10:43 am

K.Elisabet

And it really is a word - the term mosh pit has been in use for decades. In some circles, anyway.

10:44 am

hokie carla

I know!

10:46 am

MollyL

Mosh lives matter

10:48 am

hokie carla

One time I was at a Metallica concert and the mosh pit migrated around to us and then stopped. My husband wanted to get the heck out but it was like 100 degrees bad air quality day so I didn't want to leave that open space. He still complains about that.We did not do any moshing but almost got hit.

10:51 am

rururocks

<--not a Metallica fan

10:52 am

MLFAN17

rure not a Metallica fan either

10:53 am

hokie carla

Well, that was in my 20s but I am still a fan. Not sure I'd go to a concert now though. I actually just had to pick up a sick kid at school and on the way home "One" came on the radio and I was sad I didn't get to listen to the whole thing. LOL

10:59 am

hokie carla

yeah, I always have to use the list, but I am getting better at when I go to it.

10:59 am

MollyL

It seems like half the definitions I read either make it a Non-English word, ancient, archaic or Middle English

11:01 am

cybernan

it's the ones that give tense to a noun or adjective that make me wonder

11:03 am

hokie carla

It seems really unfair that the title of William Blake's most famous poem is not in the word list and all these obscure archaic foreign terms are.

12:07 pm
