SueMagee
You could give a clue to that, hurshy. It’s one of my last three.
12:38 am
hurshy
it is somewhat akin to a brand of bottled water
12:43 am
hurshy
perhaps you also need an re6 that goes like that in terms of consonant-vowel
12:43 am
SueMagee
I do indeed. You are very clever.
12:53 am

Mother's Day Joke: (Moms will laugh at this) Two children ordered their mother to stay in bed one Mother’s Day morning. As she lay there looking forward to breakfast in bed, the smell of bacon floated up from the kitchen. But after a good long wait she finally went downstairs to investigate. She found them both sitting at the table eating bacon and eggs. “As a surprise for Mother’s Day,†one explained, “We decided to cook our own breakfast.â€

Hi all, may I ask why www.playbabble.com is "Not Secure"?
3:31 pm
rururocks
Bad parenting when babble was a teenager
3:32 pm
saanichcat
that happened to me this morning too "Not Secure"
3:32 pm
saanichcat
hi ruru
3:33 pm
rururocks
Hi saanich
3:34 pm
bonkler
not secure is likely to do with a browser having updated and the new version not being as friendly to babble's antique code.
3:35 pm
saanichcat
makes sense. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
3:36 pm
Mary
I have seen it for a while when I log into Babble it says Not Secure
3:38 pm
saanichcat
First time for me. I was away and had the computer turned off; meanwhile the power went out in the neighbourhood, maybe that was it for me.
3:39 pm
rururocks
Maybe we can all chip in for some therapy for babnle
3:40 pm
saanichcat
hahahaha! Couldd we add a non-racial dictionary as well?
3:42 pm
MollyL
Babble has been "not secure" for some time. It has to do with people posting email addresses. Old code reads that as spammers.
3:43 pm
MollyL
Is Babnie a word geek Barbie doll who plays Babble?
: D
3:44 pm
saanichcat
Does the "not Secure" notice mean the site is truly not secure, or is that just something flashing up because of the email addresses?
3:45 pm
Mary
Thanks <Molly so I take it that its not a problem>
4:00 pm
Buggie
The not secure means that the website isn't using https. Theoretically it's possible that someone could steal your babble password if you log in from a public hotspot (but unlikely)
4:01 pm
MollyL
It's kind of a long, complicated, tech geeky kind of answer to the not secure thing. I heard Dr. God was working on getting a security certificate. It is never safe, nor a good idea, to post your email address on a public website such as this.
4:03 pm
Buggie
it has nothing to do with posting your email address. It's the login form that isn't using encryption. It's something only banks and similar websites were using until a few years ago, now the browsers warn users to try to get every website to adopt encryption
4:04 pm
Buggie
if you're not using the same login/password combination on another website, the only risk you have is a hacker playing your daily babble before you do
4:11 pm
rururocks
i actually got a threatening email from some jerk who got my email address here and password and has off and on been harassing me
4:12 pm
Buggie
your e-mail too? how did he get that?
4:12 pm
Buggie
sorry, I meant your password too ?
4:13 pm
rururocks
you can access email addresses here and passwords.. it's not secure
4:13 pm
rururocks
i have a different password on my email and other accounts..
4:13 pm
Buggie
I highly doubt that
4:13 pm
rururocks
i only use this password here for this game and serpentine
4:14 pm
rururocks
no you can buggie
4:14 pm
Buggie
the "not secure" warning doesn't mean anyone can hack in. It would still take a lot to get hold of your login credentials
4:14 pm
rururocks
there's a way to do it.. but i don't know how
4:15 pm
Buggie
unless you're on a public wifi, the only way they can steal your password is if there's a coding flaw in the website
4:16 pm
rururocks
they got it here i'm telling you.. this was the only place i used that password
4:16 pm
rururocks
and i'm not on public wifi
4:17 pm
Buggie
maybe they sent you a phishing email, sending you to a clone of this site, that you logged into?
4:17 pm
rururocks
other players have commented the same thing
4:18 pm
rururocks
might have been sukee or someone like that
4:18 pm
Buggie
have you spoken to dr god? if this website is done properly, he shouldn't even be saving the passwords, only hashed versions that can't be used to retrieve the actual password
4:20 pm
rururocks
i have .. he was "working" on it
4:20 pm
rururocks
However i don't believe that for a minute
4:22 pm
rururocks
i do have to say it is really creepy to get emails from an aggressive crazy jerk.. i told him about it.. but nothing happened
4:22 pm
Buggie
hrm. I just checked. If you say you lost your password, the website sends it to you. It means they're not hashed, and that if someone hacks the website or the host, they can get the passwords for every single account (although that takes some serious hacking)
4:23 pm
rururocks
i'm not computer savvy enough to figure out how they do it to be honest
4:25 pm
Buggie
but, I'll just point out it has nothing to do with the "not secure" warning on the login page.
4:28 pm
rururocks
yeah probably
4:32 pm
ChrissieDee
That's interesting ruru. I've had similar. It really shook me up that he had my password. I used to use the same password a few years ago for a few different sites. I hoped that rather than my ipad having malware it was a website that had been hacked to obtain my email and password. Maybe it was babble.
4:39 pm
Buggie
Well a lot of big websites have been hacked over the years, so a lot of accounts and passwords even have been stolen and sold on the black market
4:40 pm
Buggie
if you go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ you can put your email address in, and if you had an account on any of the big websites that were hacked, associated with that address, it'l tell you
4:43 pm
ChrissieDee
Thanks Buggie, I may try that. It was a password that I only used for what I considered non-important sites. I've always been more careful with banks etc.
4:44 pm
Buttonman
could someone please clue me the re6/21, it is the third and last re 6
4:46 pm
MollyL
Folks, you are taking a big risk entering your email address on any public website. I realize that in the days of Facebook, it seems foolish to say "be careful with your personal information" but you really should be.
4:47 pm
rururocks
i went to the pawned website and i have been pawned
4:47 pm
Buggie
for a lot of the pwns it will tell you exactly which website it was on
4:48 pm
ChrissieDee
Me too. 3 breached sites and 1 paste
4:49 pm
Buttonman
could someone PLEASE clue me the re6/21, it is the third and last re 6
4:49 pm
Buggie
my main e-mail was on 8 breached sites and 1 paste. But only accounts I haven't used in years
4:49 pm
Buggie
sorry buttonman, I don't have it yet
4:49 pm
rururocks
re+ most of a 4 door car
4:50 pm
Buggie
and entering your e-mail address isn't really a risk. it's entering the same password as on another website that's the main risk
4:50 pm
Buttonman
thanks RU

i have on 8: another term for a monk in the days of robin hood: his friend was fr*** tuck. add 2 letter ending which means the buildings these men live in.
5:40 pm

it is fr 8 55. sorry dont have other.

5:42 pm

we have an outdoor pool year round heated to 82 degrees. and the steam rises from it when it is cold but it is so nice on sunny days to swim outdoors even when it is cold. but i think it might be too cold where you live to do this.
5:43 pm
mkg
anyone have clues for the other 8?
5:48 pm
MollyL
Ru currently lives in California. Not too cold at all. An outdoor pool heated year round in this area is a luxury.
5:51 pm
rururocks
mine is solar heated.. only available to me May-October
5:52 pm
rururocks
it would cost me a fortune and a half to heat it year round
5:55 pm
MollyL
My boss...aka the slave driver...lives where mkg lives. It's a high dollar area.
6:01 pm
hokie carla
we have our pool heater set on 87 right now but my kid said it was cold. it is cloudy and cool today, so that probably makes it worse. it is very expensive to heat, so we only run it right at the beginning of the season and maybe some at the end.
