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

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.

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

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.
