Changing your password probably won't help. It's not a secured site.

12:13 am

Jacula

Hi all. Very glad to see Zooz has been back and seems in a more positive frame of mind.

12:14 am

rbud

yes, but as soon as I entered mine to sign in, it said this PW had been found in a security breach and recommended changing it.

I hope you're not using it anywhere else!

As for Babble not being a secure sit, my computer has been telling me that since 2005 or even a year before that.

12:16 am

Jacula

*sitE, not sit. I need a new keyboard. Seem to have worn yet another out, being a writer. :(

Good morning, all. Just out of curiosity, is there a purpose (that I'm obviously missing) for the "My Friends" tab ? A FB friend recently added me to her "My Friends" tab, but she doesn't automatically appear on mine. And she's usually online at different times than I am, so I haven't been able to add her. I know I must be missing something ...

5:23 am

MollyL

Basically so you have a quick reference to people who are online. If someone adds you, they will not show up on yours. You select who shows up on yours.

5:25 am

MollyL

You can only add someone usings the ADD TO FRIENDS in WHO'S ONLINE so the person has to be online for you to add them to your list.

5:43 am

mattygroves

May I have the full stats, please, for the top A?

9:44 am

hokie carla

I hate walking around with readers

9:47 am

rururocks

what's worse for me is perfectly normal words like to7 that I don't use often (due to where I live) that are obvious but I miss them until someone points it out

9:49 am

I was laughing so hard it took me quite a while to get through it

10:39 am

rururocks

priceless actually molly

10:40 am

hokie carla

10:44 am

cybernan

It is a great store -- I used to stop there to stock up on supplies when we were on our way home from our winter sojourn in Palm Desert

10:46 am

rururocks

psoriasis would be a great name for a bar though

10:48 am

hokie carla

would it, though?

10:49 am

rururocks

the motto above the bar on the chalk board: You're a sight for Psoriasis

10:53 am

Hey Uni. My Nashville loving daughter is heading over there next week. Sheâ€™s been watching the weather reports. The temperatures seem to be bonkers. Going from freezing to balmy & back to freezing again. Whatâ€™s the current weather like?

5:09 pm

Sophie512

36 in Hendersonville. There was no school Friday because of ice. Ice is gone. But COLD!

5:15 pm

ch1212

Done with work today; time for a glass of wine and babble! Ahhh....

5:17 pm

ch1212

Sophie, is Hendersonville near Winchester?

5:30 pm

Soodle

Clink, ch1212. Enjoy your wine. My knowledge of US geography is pitiful. I donâ€™t know where either Hendersonville or Winchester are. ðŸ˜•

5:31 pm

ch1212

It's all good, soodle. It fell under the category of 'such a small world!' -- my niece and nephew live there. lol

5:35 pm

ch1212

My geography knowledge is pretty pitiful too. 18 schools in 12 years and each move, I seemed to miss the geography class. Yet I love maps and have self-taught about other nations, just not the U.S. yet. LOL!

5:38 pm

Soodle

Cool!! That first glass of wine after work is always the best. Itâ€™s heading for midnight here, on a dark, freezing & stormy night. My newest grandson got Christened today. We had a lovely family meal afterwards & Iâ€™m kyboshed (very tired). Off to bed now. Nite nite.

5:40 pm

ch1212

Oh congratulations! I love baptisms and christenings! At our church, the pastor holds the child up in his arms and walks around introducing him/her to the congregation. Enjoy your rest, soodle.

5:51 pm

Sophie512

ch1212, sorry I'm dogsitting......can't give this puzzle the time I need to solve today..... Winchester and H'ville about 100 miles away. H'ville is a suburb of Nashville

5:51 pm

Hey, no worries. I figured you had stepped away or just buried in the grid. :)

Poofing out...that brings to mind bad visuals
