1:34 am
grannyrose

oh good news, today Terra's collar cone has come off. Getting the sutures out was hell, they had to sedate him, it was so painful. But all has healed well and today he can finally scratch his ears again... and lick his... well you know. Heaven for dogs.
1:43 am
grannyrose

the contestants have to find a word which the 100 people who have been surveyed DIDN'T say.
1:45 am

language shows are often fun
1:46 am

1:46 am
sprite
ok, looking :)
1:47 am
grannyrose
flosey there are so many weird ones today
1:47 am
flosey
indeed there are Rose
1:48 am
grannyrose
i mean di7 ?? how does one do tha?
1:50 am
sprite
oh lol I already had it. The th5 that is.
1:50 am
sandyloo
ok Help!! I still cannot change lickety's clues on my babble expert. Any suggestions? The clues that are up are from a couple of days ago and wont refresh . I have turned everything on and off a number of times as have I refreshed
1:51 am
sprite
hiya sandy, click on the clues, then try Control + F5
1:52 am
sandyloo
do you mean highlight the clues?
1:52 am
grannyrose
sandy, in the address line, at the end is a almost circle with an arrow on it. click that
1:53 am
grannyrose
or what sprite says... also works.
1:53 am
sprite
no address line in the babble expert, rose
1:53 am
sprite
no, no need to highlight, just make sure your cursor is somewhere in the clues before you do control F5
1:53 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, it th4 so?
1:54 am
sandyloo
so sprite, highlight clues? What do you mean click
1:54 am
grannyrose
sandy, click anywhere on the white area
1:55 am
sprite
just that... click somewhere in the clues section. place the cursor there, that is all. Then control + F5
1:55 am
grannyrose
left click, correct sprite, then hit f5
1:55 am
sprite
yes, left mouse button click
1:55 am
sandyloo
not working.... a little box with "find" is popping up
1:55 am
grannyrose
*wriggles with pleasure*
1:55 am
sprite
that is control + F
1:56 am
sprite
you need to do control + the key with F5 on it... upper row of the keyboard.
1:56 am
sandyloo
oh I see it Ill give it a go
1:57 am
sandyloo
OMG!!
Wow that has worked !!! I am sooooo happy !! Thankyou. I know nothing about this sort of thing
1:58 am
sandyloo
I really suffered that last puzzle........
1:59 am
sprite
yvw :) And now you know a little more than before. The top row keys are function keys. They are preprogrammed to perform certain tasks. Control + F5 is force-refresh. Makes a page refresh no matter what.
1:59 am
sandyloo
Thank you so much
1:59 am
sprite
my pleasure, hun
2:00 am
grannyrose
<------- my hero is my best friend. xoxox
2:01 am
sandyloo
i will be back later, I have to cook a red chicken curry for dinner
2:01 am
sprite
*giggles* I used to be rather computer-savvy. But things are changing so fast nowadays, there are way too many things I don't know how to fix now. But this... yes, this one I did.
2:01 am
sprite
*wonders where sandy finds a red chicken*
2:02 am
sprite
sounds delish! Enjoy cooking, sandy
2:03 am

oh didi tell i met p some people from my childhood at my godmother's funeral. at the wake, i was talking to Paul, now an IT expert. he was amazed when i told him about GT. he had never heard of it.
2:03 am
sprite
and GT is?
2:04 am
grannyrose
google talk, silly. like wh4 you and i can do.
2:04 am
sprite
oh right :)
2:05 am
sprite
GT is rather obsolete, I think that is why. People will use WhatsApp on their cell phones, or a better IC service on their computers
2:06 am
grannyrose
lolll, and those of us who have an aversion to social sites, babble chat excepted?
2:07 am
sprite
they use a smart phone and wifi, and can chat with people all over the world for free, whenever they want to
2:08 am
grannyrose
nope, not having a SMART(ass) phone...
2:08 am
grannyrose
okay, i'm backward...wh4's your point?? *looking innocently at her blackberry*
2:09 am
sprite
imagine being able to drop me a line whenever, and finding my answers when you feel like it, and when we are both awake at the same time, chat easily?
2:10 am
grannyrose
but i can do th4 now. email and GT...if you would deign to open your gmail account... ;-P
2:10 am
flosey
We chat with grandsons and families on Skype
2:11 am
sprite
skype is nice because you can even see eachoher if you like
2:11 am
grannyrose
oh i have skype, flosey. <------ looks meaningfully at sprite
2:11 am
flosey
it's great being able to see them
2:11 am
sprite
I have skype too. Never use it though. Too much hassle.
2:11 am
grannyrose
point made, flosey
2:12 am
sprite
and no webcam installed on my puter, lol
2:12 am
grannyrose
<------ pouting
2:12 am
flosey
it's just a little gadget that you can clip on top of your computer
2:13 am
sprite
yeah I know. It is a concious decision, grin.
2:15 am
flosey
it's especially nice to be able to see our loved ones back in Ontario
2:18 am
sprite
yw4 my favorite word ever :D And the alt spelling too
2:25 am
sprite
flosey, if I had grandchildren, I would use skype too for sure.
2:26 am

good morning. I have yesterday's clues. Are today's clues up?
4:59 am
mattygroves
Hi, they are, but you'll need to do a hard refresh to get them
4:59 am
sukee
I haven't checked yet.
4:59 am
Anniebrook
matty, Ho w do I do a hard refresh?
5:00 am
MollyL
Hard refresh?
5:02 am
Anniebrook
and the grid that I have is yesterday's grid.
5:02 am
mattygroves
What computer are you using? If it's windows, do ctrl+F5, if it's a Mac, do cmd+R
5:02 am
Anniebrook
and the grid that I have is yesterday's grid.
5:02 am
Anniebrook
and the grid that I have is yesterday's grid.
5:03 am
Anniebrook
matty, I am computer illiterate. Do I have those keys down together and for how long?
5:04 am
Anniebrook
I am using Windows?
5:04 am
Anniebrook
I meant do I hold those keys down together?
5:05 am
Anniebrook
Oh dear, I am screwing this up. I have Windows.
5:07 am
sukee
Do them both together.
5:07 am
Anniebrook
I have today's grid now I need Lickety's list.
5:08 am
sukee
Just checked and expert still has yesterday's list.
5:09 am
Anniebrook
Is there any way I can get today's list of clues?
5:09 am
mattygroves
Go to Lickety. Press ctrl+F5 at the time time. That should refresh the list
5:10 am
mattygroves

5:10 am
Anniebrook
I am on Babble Expert. Where do I find Lickety. Thanks for your help.
5:10 am
sukee
Babble Expert is Lickety
5:11 am
mattygroves
Put your cursor in the list part of the Expert window, then hit ctrl+F5
5:13 am
Anniebrook
I am sorry to sound so dense. When you say list part, where in the list part? Is it anywhere?
5:13 am
sukee
Okay, have found half of the Ws, not too bad.
5:14 am
mattygroves
Anywhere in the bit that shows you the list - just click anywhere in there and then press ctrl+F5
5:14 am
sukee
I'm assuming the clues box, at the far left.
5:14 am
mattygroves
Yep that's the one!
5:15 am
sukee
It just worked for me.
5:15 am
Anniebrook
THANK YOU!!
5:15 am
mattygroves
No worries :)
5:15 am
sukee
But too early for me to use the list :)
5:16 am
mattygroves
I've just started with the list - I have 51 left
5:16 am
sukee
But I think I will need it soon.
5:16 am
mattygroves
So I got a bunch without it :)
5:19 am
Anniebrook
I go through the grid and then I use the list. I usually cannot finish without the clues. Thanks again, Matty and sukee
5:19 am
sukee
That is what I do. Go through the grid, then look for clues in the chog and then use the list.
5:20 am
mattygroves
I just get as many words as I can without the list and (mostly) without looking at the chog. Then I look at the chog, then the list
5:20 am
sukee
Sound like we do it the same matty :)
5:20 am
mattygroves
Great minds think alike :)
5:21 am
mattygroves
It drives me mad when I do go to the list and find out how many no-brainer words I've missed
5:21 am
sukee
Damn, got over a sinus infection and now my nose is clogged again and making me cough. Better get on that neti pot before I need more anti-biotics.
5:21 am
sukee
I am sure part of it is allergies to my cats.
5:22 am
Anniebrook
going to start the coffeemaker. need caffeine.

It helps :)

6:05 am
rubyfoo
I do a run-through on my own, trying for nbt and nbs. Then I gl5 clues in the chog, then I give up
6:06 am
rubyfoo
But at least I get to say "hello"; it'slike taking a walk in the neighborhood (butmuch less cold!)
6:06 am
Anniebrook
that's wh4 I do but then I go to the list. Yes, a walk in the neighorhood is nice.
6:07 am
Anniebrook
I always like to hear what Molly has to say.
6:07 am
rubyfoo
And here, everybody speaks English!
6:08 am
Anniebrook
LOL. When I moved here, everyone spoke English. Now the building is 90% Russian speaking people and I wander around hoping to hear American English. lol
6:09 am
Anniebrook
I still play mah jongg with my friends so that is a good thing.
6:10 am

Right now, the sun is coming up bathing everything in a rosy hue and I sit here on the 23rd floor with my view of Manhattan and the Verazzano Bridge. Not ba.
6:11 am
Anniebrook
and a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin babbling.
6:11 am
rubyfoo
and here NOBODY speaks English; I guess this is "oppositte day" or else I'mlosing my marbles
6:12 am
Anniebrook
ruby, do you speak French fluently?
6:13 am
Anniebrook
I just found one of your marbles.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
Yes, but with a NY accent although my English is pretty neutral. It only took a year of remedial speech at Queens College to get rid of my New Yorkese!
6:15 am
rubyfoo
It enabledmeto travel to places where a NY accent would have been undesirable --Tennessee, for example
6:15 am
bichon
I moved to CT and finally got rid of mine. However, put me in a room with other New Yorkers, I'm back
6:16 am
Anniebrook
or the deep south. I guess I speak with a new york accent. I am not ashamed of it. Welcome, bichon.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
I think there are many parts of the US where they equate a NY accent with being Jewish! Aah, my friend,Nadia just arrived with a special treat, Macdo!
6:17 am
rubyfoo
See you later
6:17 am
bichon
Nothing wrong with a New York accent.
6:17 am
Anniebrook
ruby, Oy vay!

Anniebrook
Tuesday night I was fighting with Aetna for them to approve a med. that Bobby very much needs. I didnt understand the woman and (woe is me) I asked her if she was speaking American English and she was from Texas. Her accent was so deep I couldn't understand her.
6:22 am
bichon
I can sympathize with that Annie. Speaking of accents, I couldn't quite understand people with Indian accents, but now Phillipinos seem to dominate and they are mucch clearer
6:31 am
bichon
does anyone have a list?
6:32 am

Lickety is up, Bichon.
6:32 am

6:42 am
Trifioso
thank you zoo. I am trying massive amounts of coffee today. Well, every day, lol
6:45 am
zoozzoom
Well you are in a rather stressy job so I can see why you would. But it might be better to choose a healthier option. Although I am no expert on these matters. But lads of caffeine I a sure is not good for you in the long run.
6:45 am
zoozzoom
Sorry if I sounded rather preachy.
6:45 am
zoozzoom
Is that a word?
6:46 am
Trifioso
of course you don't! I appreciate your help. I have had a rather rotten run of insomnia for the past few weeks, and it's really getting to me.
6:46 am
Trifioso
so preach away

internet explorer
6:09 pm

Ctrl F5
6:09 pm

that will force page to reload

or you could try clearing your cache
6:12 pm
periwinkle
ty tried them both and now have todays clues
6:13 pm
moolingwa
Ctrl F5 (or Ctrl and press the reload button) will generally force a page to load again from the web instead of local cache
6:13 pm

but I've found it not to work some times

it did not work the first time but it did the 2nd

6:58 pm

If you know what it means to clear out your cache, do that. If not, I can't help you. People who leave certain sites up and expect them to automatically refresh, often have problems.
6:58 pm

I scrolled down to the old lickety connection and now I have the list.

And Ru, if you don't feel like refreshing, I hope you like women who are into gamey men.

Nef
good evening everyone.
9:20 pm
Nef
I've had too many interruptions today to get much done here; I have 115 left to find. Not sure if I'll finish; it looks like lots of people have been stuck on this grid for long periods of time.
9:20 pm
Nef
Hi Bugs. How are you doing tonight?

9:26 pm
Nef

9:27 pm
moolingwa

9:27 pm
moolingwa
keep getting distracted :)
9:27 pm
moolingwa
was just watching hockey for instance
9:27 pm
Nef
Yes, Min; I was typing the same thing when I saw ru posted the same thing
9:27 pm
Minveryork
It was fine, I guess.It was a waste of time and money. I did not leave with any new info. Missed a half day of work for nothing. Just wa 4/8ing to hear back from my lawyer now
9:28 pm
Bugsaw
glad to hear you are protecting yourself with lawyers, Min. Just wished it went better
9:28 pm
Nef
:-( I'm sorry that it wasn't very helpful.
9:30 pm

9:35 pm
Minveryork
Hope so. There are days when I doubt if th 4/5 is all worth it.I'm usually an extremely patient individual, but th 4/5 is just taking FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wa 4/5 to move on!
9:35 pm
rururocks
it took me a long time too minver
9:35 pm
moolingwa
have all those min :)
9:35 pm
moolingwa
but thanks
9:35 pm
rururocks
in the end.. it's all worth it.. believe me
9:36 pm
moolingwa
I got divorced once
9:36 pm
Nef
I agree with ru. I've never been through a divorce; but my son has & I know how frustrating it was for him
9:36 pm
Bugsaw
things will be SO much better when they are settled properly though. you will not regret this later.
9:36 pm
rururocks
self-happiness at the end of it all is the best result
9:36 pm
rururocks
i'm happier now than I've been in more than a decade
9:37 pm
Nef
And no way th4/5 there will be legal strings attached
9:39 pm
Bugsaw
I am with Nef. Some exes are so vindictive they keep trying to change the rules so nothing is ever settled so stick with lawyers and protect yourself. You deserve to be happy!
9:40 pm
moolingwa
okay, anyone clue me on the last 2 7s?
9:40 pm
Nef
What do they start with, mool?
9:40 pm
moolingwa

9:40 pm
m9f9l
Hi all. Never been divorced but LOTS of friends that have. Many dealing with narcissistic exes :-(
9:42 pm
rururocks
I am hoping to never go through a divorce again

I could get married again though
9:45 pm
rururocks
I just need to find a barge :D
9:45 pm
moolingwa
ah, I give up on this board...night all
9:46 pm
moolingwa
see you in the morning
9:46 pm
m9f9l
oh.. I just realized I should go to the pb!
9:46 pm
rururocks
night mool
9:46 pm
Nef
good night mool
9:46 pm
Bugsaw
I know where you can find at least 2. If he gets 3 we are in trouble!
9:46 pm
rururocks
I can help if you want to finish
9:47 pm
rururocks
it could be worse bugs.. he could like to rebuild Pintos or something
9:47 pm
Bugsaw
Not that anyone is asking for my advice, but don't rush a second marriage.
9:47 pm
Bugsaw
no Pintos but there are lot more cars than he admitts to out there.
9:49 pm
m9f9l
No kidding Bugs! I know so many women who got into a relationship almost immediately and the new guy is always "the exact opposite" of the old guy....until he turns out to be pretty much just like the old guy.
9:50 pm
Bugsaw
and there is truth to the saying that the things that attracted you will end up being the things that annoy the heck out of you too.
9:50 pm
rururocks
I'm not rushing into marriage .. believe me
9:53 pm
Minveryork
One way to avoid another divorce is to not get remarried.I will not be getting remarried.I am open to having another relationship, but certainly not another marriage, no way!
9:53 pm
Minveryork
Hello m9f9l! How are you doing today? Welcome to the PB
9:54 pm
m9f9l
I'm happy. It hasn't rained much while this snow is melting!
9:54 pm
Nef
I have a dear friend that has been married 4 times. The 1st guy was addicted to sex -- with many women, the # 2& 3 were alcoholics; and # 4 *was* an alcoholic but has been dry for close to 20 years now. But at least he's staying dry & sober. (I just don't understand how a smart person can find so many bad matches?)
9:54 pm
Minveryork
Think th 4/5 there are at least 20 babblers in PB already. I have se 4/4 words spilled in the chat log all evening long.
9:54 pm
Bugsaw
I thought that too Min. I was alone for 7 years and then dated my second husband for another 7 years before we shared a home.
9:55 pm
Bugsaw
I know I am in there!
9:56 pm
rururocks
I like being married. Call me old fashioned
9:57 pm
Minveryork
Well,I am not a Spring chicken so not planning on having a family with anybody. I just have to get through what I am going through now before I even think about dating again
9:57 pm
m9f9l
I like it. After 33 years together we're getting pretty good at it.
9:58 pm
Nef
THat's a great plan, Min. And allow yourself healing time too
9:59 pm
m9f9l
I think I'd be ok on my own though. I have a lot of hobbies and interests.
9:59 pm
rururocks
I took three years monver
10:00 pm
rururocks
I am not a spring chicken either. Maybe more of a sprung chicken😀
10:01 pm
Bugsaw
healing time is so important.
10:01 pm
Nef
Yeah, I hear you m9. We've been married 43 years; and even though things can be tough at times; we're in for the long haul. (Sometimes, though, I need a break from the care taking part. I has to learn to do that more often)
10:03 pm
m9f9l
I'm just overwh5ed right now because there's so many OTHER people in the house! LOL
10:04 pm
m9f9l
I have 61 to go, have listed, and it's still a grind.
10:04 pm
Nef
How many are living with you now, m9?
10:05 pm
m9f9l
There's me and the husband, ALL four of the children, the oldest's husband and their 3 children. And the dog and two cats.
10:05 pm
m9f9l
And one bathroom :-)
10:06 pm
Nef
Oh, Wow! I grew up with 9 in our family; but at least we had 1 1/2 bathrooms.
10:06 pm
sandyloo
wow is what I say , you must have a large house
10:07 pm
m9f9l
Yeah, if you do the math that's 10 persons. And no, we do not have a large house.
10:07 pm
rururocks
*buys m9 an outhouse*
10:07 pm
m9f9l
three of the people are pretty small though, so they don't take up much space...hah!
10:08 pm
Bugsaw
I hope you all get along and that enough money comes in to lower the stress levels
10:08 pm
sandyloo
We always have people here but the amount varies . The small people make the most mess!
10:08 pm
m9f9l
Money is always a stress. BUT... we get along great.
10:08 pm
sandyloo
And the food bills must take a toll
10:09 pm
m9f9l
My daughter and her husband aren't paying rent so they buy most of the groceries and she does most of the cooking. My older son has a job and contributes also. $400 a month, so that helps and still allows him to save a lot.
10:10 pm
sandyloo
We do what we have to to help our kids-and it binds the family as well
10:11 pm
m9f9l
We actually asked for less, but when he got a raise a while back he upped it himself.
10:11 pm
Nef
Are they all saving for their own houses?
10:11 pm
Bugsaw
Nice kids you have there m9
10:11 pm
m9f9l
The little family is paying off student debt, and the son is thinking of using some of his savings for more education.
10:12 pm
m9f9l
I say "more".. I should probably just say education.
10:12 pm
m9f9l
He's thinking of becoming an electrician
10:13 pm
Bugsaw
good field. lots of work there
10:13 pm
Nef
My son & grandson moved back here after his rent got raised by $200/month (I asked him to because DH was becoming too much for me to handle alone); but then his job ended unexpectedly too a week later.
10:13 pm
m9f9l
Oh Nef! That's hard!
10:14 pm
sandyloo
Education is a good investment.The two of mine that have degrees have very good jobs
10:14 pm
m9f9l
Whereas I have 2 degrees and have never worked with them, :-D
10:15 pm
Bugsaw
Good thing you were able to offer a safety net for your son, Nef.
10:15 pm
rururocks
I never finished school
10:16 pm
m9f9l
I'm either overqualified or underqualified for everything around here in this little town.
10:16 pm
Bugsaw
but you don't stop working and have done very well
10:16 pm
Nef
Well, he's found a part time job& is interviewing like crazy now. He's turned down 2 jobs this week: 1 in Tokyo, & 1 in AZ because of his son wanting to see his mom every week & also because of us (I think)
10:16 pm
m9f9l
He's got his priorities straight! Glad he found something.
10:17 pm
m9f9l
What is he interviewing for?
10:17 pm
Bugsaw
Family is important, Nef and your boy is putting the proper things first. Something will come up. good karma
10:18 pm
Nef
He's a quality assurance specialist for computer programmers; and he's done that long distance for 3 years; but the 2 offers he got wanted him on site.
10:18 pm
Nef
Thanks, Bugs.
10:19 pm
m9f9l
Ah! Hope he finds something soon! Sounds like he should.
10:21 pm
Minveryork
I give up! Tired of looking for the le6/36. Any clues please
10:21 pm
Nef
I think he will. I told him that if he moved in with us he could save most of his rent money for his downpayment on a house; but it hasn't worked out that way.
10:21 pm
rururocks
Le 6 a liitle edge off a problem
10:22 pm
rururocks
A margin of error?
10:22 pm
Bugsaw
just found Hawaiian ladies in this miserable grid
10:23 pm
Bugsaw
thanks ru
10:23 pm
Minveryork
I am finished! I have fireworks! le 6/36 was my final word.
10:24 pm
Minveryork
Thank you for the clues. Struggled with th4/5 all evening!
10:24 pm
Bugsaw
YAY Minveryork
10:24 pm
Nef
YAY, Min!!! WTG!!!
10:24 pm
m9f9l
wtg!! (and I agree with bugs...miserable!)
10:24 pm
Minveryork
I'll be here for five more minutes of clues are still needed.
10:26 pm
Minveryork
Put "a margin of error" into the reverse dictionary to get it
10:26 pm
m9f9l
argh..I just got the plural strip of land.
10:33 pm
m9f9l
ok.. since I'm slogging here. Suggestions for music?
10:33 pm
Nef
I finally opened rickety; no wonder I couldn't find that Y word!
10:33 pm
Nef
LICKETY; not rickety
10:34 pm
m9f9l
How many do you have to go?
10:35 pm
Nef
a million! :-D
10:36 pm
Nef
I guess it just feels that way, I still have 85 to go. :-(
10:36 pm
m9f9l
SInce listing I've worked it down to 15
10:37 pm
Nef
You can do it, m9!
10:37 pm
m9f9l
Thanks! SO can you!
10:38 pm
Nef
not in less than 2 hours.
10:39 pm
Nef
BRB, being summoned by DH
10:44 pm
Nef
YAY, m9f9l!!! WTG!!!
10:45 pm
m9f9l
Need help?
10:46 pm
Nef
No, that's okay. I should really stop chatting & work on the grid & I'd probably get more done that way. ;-)
10:47 pm
Nef
(Seriously, I really try not to care if I don't finish ; nor do I worry about my standings /stats anymore. It makes it more fun this way)
10:48 pm
m9f9l
Yeah.. I have lots of days that I don't finish
10:49 pm
m9f9l
I gotta go anyway..family prayer time!
10:49 pm
Nef
I do hate it, though, when I try to enter a word and I can't finish because of the flip.
10:50 pm
Nef
Okay Good night m9. take care!
10:58 pm
Minveryork
Nobody asked for clues since my FWs so will not feel guilty about leaving the chat log. I leave you with story in profile
10:59 pm
Minveryork
Goodnight babblers!Hope to see you again tomorrow nite.
11:00 pm
Nef
Good Night, Min! I liked your story! :-)
