jeanne314

12:27 am

sprite

same message. It says :
404. That's an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. That is all we know.

12:32 am

jeanne314

Oh, sprite is on a K murder spree again!

12:33 am

sprite

definitely, lolol

12:33 am

SummerBreeze44

I got it by adding babbleclues.html at the end of your link.

12:33 am

jeanne314

At least it is a reasonable number (1), so no need for accomplices, this time! Have a great game and evening!

12:34 am

sprite

sleep well, jeanne

12:34 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. * hugs * sprite. clues page was/is up and running for me.

12:35 am

jeanne314

Will do, no threat of homicide in my heart tonight, at least. I won't murder this puzzle, for sure. Sigh.

12:35 am

sprite

hi honey *hug*

12:35 am

grannyrose

sprite, really worried about Don. he is having the most awful coughing spells.

12:37 am

sprite

all part and parcel to this awful flu.

12:37 am

grannyrose

and how did Rob hold up yesterday after using the painaway?

12:38 am

sprite

he did not notice much difference.

12:38 am

sprite

as for Don, if you want my advice, I would call the doctor, just to be sure. If it is bad, he needs oxygen.

12:39 am

grannyrose

what a pity! i wonder if he put enough on. Don usually uses the tiniest amount and then says it's not working. i used to slather it on, and rub for about 5 minutes.

12:39 am

sprite

will tell him that

12:40 am

grannyrose

that's what i was thinking. at least a chest x-ray to check.

12:41 am

grannyrose

and tell him to completely surround the joint. even the back of the knee.

12:41 am

sprite

okay, will pass it on

12:42 am

grannyrose

i would work a 10 hour shift on that one application. mind you at the end of it i was mighty glad to sit in the car for the drive home.

12:43 am

grannyrose

how was your own night sweetie?

12:45 am

sprite

not great, I picked up some virus. Feeling flu-ish. Not doing much of anything today.'

12:46 am

grannyrose

you poor darling. lots of fluids, vitamin C, and echinacea.

12:46 am

12:49 am

dizgrannie

1:20 am

dcseain

good morning/evening

1:20 am

grannyrose

well hello stranger. how you been?

1:22 am

dcseain

generally well. Today I saw The Glaukemfleckens live show, and went to a housewarming/celebration of finishing her doctorate, and getting promoted to Lieutenant General in the Army.

1:23 am

dcseain

been helping a friend get moved out and into storage.

1:23 am

dcseain

just got home a short bit ago.

1:23 am

grannyrose

busy, busy man. hope you manage to sleep well this night.

1:23 am

NANCY

Rose, so far I dont see any N words on your list

1:24 am

grannyrose

ugh sorry Nancy. will fix that now.

1:24 am

dcseain

I will. I'm tired. But the cats are running around gangbusters -- I was gone for 13 hours.

1:24 am

lynxxx

na4, na6,ne4

1:25 am

grannyrose

And done Nancy.

1:25 am

dofith

Thanks so much, grannyrose.

1:26 am

grannyrose

they probably thought you had deserted them, dcseain.

1:26 am

dcseain

they're eating now.

1:26 am

NANCY

You are so nice to do this for people who do not know every word in the world.

1:26 am

dcseain

and they got hella spoiled through lockdowns.

1:27 am

grannyrose

i bet... like their tummies thought their throats had been cut.

1:27 am

dcseain

they hadn't even run out of food.

1:28 am

grannyrose

hey Nancy. i remember plenty of people who would post clues in their profile. they're just not here tonight.

1:29 am

dcseain

yes, there were several, one of which died, may she rest in peace.

1:29 am

grannyrose

i know dcseain. but it's not the same as when Dad is there and serving them....lol

1:29 am

dcseain

minver has been absent for a bit.

1:30 am

grannyrose

hmmm, don't think i have seen her either.

1:30 am

NANCY

they are most likely sleeping like I should be but not tired right now even though it is 2:30 am in Florida

1:30 am

grannyrose

is it hot there, Nancy? Kam was saying she still has temps in the high 90's.

1:34 am

NANCY

not especially hot just mid to upper 80s. However we are awaiting our newest hurricane due on Wednesday. My daughter lives on west side directly across from me in Melbourne and she just got hit by Helene. Now this one is Milton. Weird because my mothers name was Helen and my dads name was Milton. Perhaps they are trying to tell me something. lol

1:35 am

dcseain

here it was around 80F today. 10-day forecast is mid-70s-low-60s F for highs.

1:37 am

NANCY

Milton is going to come ashore right where my daughter lives in the Tampa Bay St. Pete area.

1:37 am

dcseain

I live a bit NW of Washington, DC in Virginia.

1:38 am

grannyrose

well if either of you see our Spring meandering around, would you please send it home? we miss it.

1:38 am

dcseain

May she be safe, Nancy.

1:38 am

NANCY

did you get anything damage from Helene?

1:38 am

dcseain

absolutely, grannyrose! This is the first real Fall/Autumn we've had locally in decades.

1:39 am

dcseain

no, SW Virginia did. But I live in Northern V.

1:39 am

NANCY

lucky

1:39 am

dcseain

I'm anticipating we'll have a real solid winter with snow for the first time since 2009.

1:39 am

grannyrose

i am so glad that we don't have such extreme weather like hurricanes in this Melbourne. we do have so mighty strong gales though.

1:39 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

1:40 am

grannyrose

yup, lickety. all there for me

1:40 am

NANCY

Rose, did you know your Melbourne is our sister city. Our Melbourne was named after yours.

1:41 am

dcseain

thank you, Lickety

1:42 am

grannyrose

Nancy, do you have storm cellars? and do you use them ? silly questions i know. but my knowledge of American things is only what i see here.

1:42 am

grannyrose

and no, Nancy. i didn't know that.

1:42 am

NANCY

still no Lickety

1:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

1:43 am

NANCY

no basements or cellars in Florida

1:44 am

NANCY

just got the clues, thank you Rose and lickety

1:45 am

licketySplitAUS

ok I think clues page might be working a bit better - but i still need to check if it refreshes everyday ok. There might be some time where people are still using the older version - but that will sort itself out over the next couple of days

1:46 am

grannyrose

thank-you lickety.

1:47 am

NANCY

thank you for your devotion to us Babblers. Without you I would have given up playing a long, long time ago

1:48 am

ursh

Thank you Lickety - ditto what Nancy said :)

1:50 am

lynxxx

Nancy some history of our name....Queen Victoria, after whom the State of Victoria is named, decided that it would be named Melbourne. This was as an honour for the 2nd Viscount Melbourne, British Prime Minister and the political mentor to the young Queen.

1:59 am

NANCY

lyn, I have watched several tv movies and stories about Queen Victoria and remember mention of Viscount Melbourne. Perhaps because I have the same birthday as Victoria May 24th. and I was fascinated by her lifes story.

2:00 am

NANCY

Victoria and Albert were quite the story.

2:09 am

NANCY

LYNXX, Thank you for the history of your Melbourne.

2:24 am

dcseain

does anyone else here play Redactle? The goal each day is to find the title of a heavily redacted Wikipedia article.

2:24 am

dcseain

unlimited guesses.

6:47 am

9:34 am

hokie carla

he came to our campsite fri night and then yesterday we went and tailgated for the game but then left when everyone else went to the game. came back here and watched football on tv. then met back up with everyone downtown after the game.

9:34 am

BzznBea

Sounds like a fun time.

9:34 am

hokie carla

it's been nice here, though a little warm. was super hot at the tailgate. nice and cool right now.

9:38 am

BzznBea

I did a walkabout my yard Friday evening. Insect geek me found a chrysalis that I'm trying to ID. Also found a green lynx spider guardiing her egg sac and emerging spiderlings. Then I found a native mantis.

9:38 am

MollyL

I got homecoming pictures from my great niece last night. How is it that all high school girls today are a size 2?

9:38 am

aslindy

very cool, bea

9:39 am

hokie carla

I saw a mantis on our exploratory bike ride the day after the storm. it was just standing on a guard rail.

9:40 am

hokie carla

probably thanks to social media pressure, molly

9:40 am

BzznBea

I chopped the head off of an Asian mantis a couple of weeks ago. Its body lived for three days.

9:40 am

origami

Wow, bea is a savage :D

9:40 am

hokie carla

I don't know the difference between the native and the asian

9:42 am

BzznBea

The Asian are usually green while the native are brownish grey. Asian wings are as long as their bodies while the native's wings are shorter.

9:44 am

origami

I have only seen the green ones.

9:45 am

BzznBea

The natives are hard to see because of their coloring.

9:45 am

hokie carla

hmm, this one might have been native because I remember thinking it wasn't as green as I thought they were

9:49 am
