pigepnman, there's the one lonely helpful link....

hiya rebel! How's life?
12:29 am
rebelsass
slightly stressful, but manageable. finals are this week....
12:30 am
sprite
oh wow, that is indeed stressful. Will think of you!
12:31 am
rebelsass
thanks! how's your side of the world these days?
12:32 am
sprite
pretty okay. Also manageable with the stresslevels. Next weekend both kids and their partners are coming over for a family day, really looking forward to that.
12:34 am

oh how fun!

Anyone have a meaning for the ex 10? Ty

cooee and g'day. * hugs * sprite. how was your night?
2:35 am
sprite
hi sweetie, pretty good. And you?
2:36 am
grannyrose
just up from a 3 hour nap...lol. early start this morning as usual. 6am
2:36 am
sprite
well done on the nana nap
2:37 am
grannyrose
i have learnt no nana nap on days like today equals really bad nights.
2:38 am
sprite
yep. Same here. Slowly, we learn, lol
2:38 am
grannyrose
how's all the family? Juno especially at this time?
2:39 am
sprite
Juno is going strong. They are amazing. They went to see their grandparents, by themselves, by train! Caya is away on holiday, climbing with friends, and Juno just went and did it.
2:40 am
grannyrose
wow! so proud of them. that's so amazing. that electric chair has revolutionised their mobility.
2:43 am
sprite
it absolutely has. which was as expected. The real amazing thing for me is their willingness to accept that wheelchair. It takes a lot of relabeling in your head, when you are early twenties and hit with FM and CFS and having to learn to accept you are an invalid.
2:43 am
grannyrose
any news from their doctor? that you are willing to share here?
2:44 am
grannyrose
hey, it's hard enough to accept that label when one hits the 60's and 70's.
2:45 am
sprite
they have decided to do a second round of egg harvesting. Just to be on the safe side. And then onto the testosteron treatment, hoping the clinic will agree. They are afraid to start this with Juno because of all the comorbidity. Even though the psychiatrist and therapists all say it will be good for them.
2:45 am
sprite
ikr? I still am kind of in denial. Not fully, but secretly, still getting hit in the face with the reality of it quite regularly.
2:49 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, another round of those hormonal Rx. with all the havoc the hormones wreak on the emotions i would be hesitant too. have they sat down and actually written the positives and negatives side by side. which outweighs the other? on paper, seems to help when seen visually.
2:49 am
sprite
fireflies.
2:49 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!
2:50 am
sprite
they are not worried about the egg round. But about the testosterone. And yes, they go about it very diligently and with wisdom far above their age.
2:51 am
grannyrose
well done Juno!. but the effects are quickly reversed are they not?
2:52 am
sprite
if they go through the egg thing with the same focus and courage as the first time, it will be behind them in a few weeks' time. They are more worried about the possible refusal for the testosterone at the clinic. If they have to go to the hospital that does this too, there is a waiting list of 3+ years.
2:54 am
grannyrose
so the concern is more as to whether the Rx will be given, rather than the effects? the effects obviously being more positive in their mind?
2:56 am
sprite
yes, exactly. The effects will be very positive, we have no doubt about that. Both physically and mentally.
2:58 am
sprite
and energy-wise as well. But the clinic is wary of doing hormone treatments with patients that have comorbidity. We can only pray that they realise there is little risk, especially with all the support that Juno has. Okay, *hugs* and sleep well tonight.
2:58 am
grannyrose
i will pray for their strength to wait the time if needed, but also that the Rx will be seen by the powers that be that it is very necessary and urgent
2:59 am
sprite
thanks honey, much appreciated

What a way to start the day. Our President, The King of Bad Taste, posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself dressed as pope as the mourning of Pope Francis continues. Catholics everywhere are offended.
5:25 am

I swear, the Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. I hope they all come back to haunt him.
5:30 am

it's like people wanted a mean and stupid internet troll for a president, I will never understand it till the day i die.
5:31 am
MollyL
Not to mention a criminal
5:32 am
mael
that too, I shouldn't minimize it. But the glee his supporters feel when he posts something offensive and dumb on the internet boggles my mind
5:33 am
MollyL
It scares me that we live in a world with that many people who have such bad taste

Be assured that many of us elsewhere feel your pain. Every time he lurches from one crass, idiotic and inexcusable event to the next, we feel embarrassed for you and just hope you and your beautiful country can come through the next 4 years without too much damage.

and thank you, that's our hope too
5:49 am

As you and Molly and so many others have said, we just wonder how it happened - twice! I recall the best ever headline on the front page of a paper the first time - "WTF!" Words failed us all the second time. Hang in there - this, too, will pass.

I will not finish tho. difficult for me to do that without lickety expert. but I will do my best. I did finish the little one tho
6:30 am
MollyL
Do you know how to copy and paste your word list into Lickety's clues?
6:33 am
MollyL
Put your cursor in front of the first word in your list. Hold down your right click button and highlight the whole word list. (It will be blue) Left click and hit COPY.
Go to Lickety's List and follow the BULK/ADD Directions
6:34 am
periwinkle
ty I will give that a try
6:35 am
periwinkle
do I have do that for each word?
6:35 am
ChampFit
Copy the entire list in one fell swoop peri. You highlight them all at once.
6:36 am
MollyL
No. When you hold down your right click button drag down through the whole list
6:38 am
MollyL
When you get to Lickety's page, click on the red BULK ADD at the top. That will take you to the white box at the bottom.Left click in that box and hit PASTE. Then click the ADD BULK button. Scroll up and your words will be in Lickety's list
6:40 am
periwinkle
this may be a dumb question but is the right click button the enter button
6:48 am
periwinkle
no it is on the mouse

What a woman's cervix does during labor
7:08 am
ivesyj
lol.. that says it all molly ty
7:11 am
ivesyj
no offence molly lol
7:12 am
MollyL
No, my oh was that someone had already jumped in and clued it
7:13 am
ivesyj
ok. molly after i paste the words i get a message that says adding more than one word to the grid is cheating lol
7:14 am
ivesyj
i give up . this sucks lol. i will just have to use the words list and work from there. this is very frustrating .
7:17 am
MollyL
Try pasting half the words then the other half
7:19 am
ivesyj
ok will do tks
7:19 am
MollyL
Are you pasting your words on this site? https://r46.me/babbleclues
7:21 am
ivesyj
actually not pasting them anywhere . i am using the list from lickety. ; the list from expert only shows one word in it.
7:21 am
ivesyj
i am not playing on expert becuz no words show up except one. im a mess lol
7:22 am
MollyL
You have to copy your word list here and paste them into the add bulk box on the clues page
7:28 am
ivesyj
omg it worked lollol. tks molly . !
7:31 am
MollyL
I am so glad at least one of you got it
7:31 am
ivesyj
one more question.. do i have to do this everytime i add a new word?
7:33 am
MollyL
You can add words by the each in the bulk add box but that is tedious. Wait until you have ten or so new words and then copy and past that part of the word list
7:33 am
ivesyj
ok got it tks again
8:16 am
rururocks
56 words to go and not a single 8
8:21 am
rururocks
with all the hassle with babble expert isn't it easier to just type the words in the add word box and be done with it?
8:32 am
hokie carla
I had to give up trying to help with that, for my own sanity
8:33 am
rururocks
37 words left and no 8's
8:33 am
hokie carla
183 left and no 7's or higher
8:33 am
rururocks
i have five sevens.. but missing three
8:34 am
hokie carla
only found 1 6 and it was the first word I saw...daisy, daisy
8:35 am
rururocks
I have closed out a lot of tiles but...
8:35 am
rururocks
oooh found one 8
8:36 am
rururocks

8:41 am
rururocks
found a second 8 finally
8:44 am
hokie carla
I found a 7 finally
8:44 am
hokie carla
but 31 6's is not a good grid for me, so I plan on not finishing
8:46 am
rururocks
i always finish these things
8:47 am
hokie carla
I do most of the time but I've learned to let go if I have other stuff going on. have 4+ hours of car time coming today, so will work on it, but when there's this many 6's I end up having to look up a lot of them and that's just annoying.
8:49 am
hokie carla
I suspect many of the 6s are p's, as they often are
8:49 am
rururocks
I'm still missing a bunch of p's so I don't know
8:50 am
hokie carla
yeah, I haven't gotten there yet

9:26 am
saanichcat
congrats phaeton. this puzzle is harder than it looks that's for sure
9:31 am
marigold
I still cannot play
9:32 am
phaeton
that is weird to me...I had no troubles at all
9:34 am
MollyL
Phateon, you are playing on Babble Expert with no trouble? How is it that you are the only one?
9:37 am
phaeton
no...didn't realize that what was she was refering to.
9:38 am
penquis
are you using lickety's list?...that is wonky for me, too...tedious to continually align the two lists of words...
9:39 am
MollyL
I don't know why people who can't play Expert are not just playing on regular Babble. There is nothing wrong with Lickety's List
9:39 am
penquis
well it doesn't work right for me...
9:40 am
MollyL
What isn't working?
9:40 am
penquis
to continually cut and paste ten word sections is quite tedious....
9:41 am
penquis
it doesn't send work like it used to for me...
9:41 am
MollyL
That is the way the list works. It's always been that way. Your words here don't automatically go there. Copy and paste is really not that big a deal.
9:42 am
penquis
it's not like it used to be...
9:42 am
phaeton
that's what I do...copy, paste to Lickety List
9:42 am
penquis
i tried Lickety's suggested work-around and that didn't work at all...
9:42 am
penquis
phae....do you have to keep doing that repeatedly?..
9:42 am
MollyL
Are you playing on Expert or at www.playbabble.com?
9:43 am
penquis
i am not using Expert at this point...just the regular lickety list....
9:43 am
MollyL
Where are you adding your words?
9:44 am
phaeton
no...I wait until I can't find any more. Uusualy wait until I'm half way
9:45 am
penquis
right now i am adding them directly to the website and entering them on the list as well because otherwise it's too confusing....i only go to the list when I get completely stalled with out it....i have only done it a few times but it is tedious.....don't think i will do it anymore...
9:45 am
phaeton
I play on www.playbabble but I have Lickety List as a bookmark
9:45 am
saanichcat
Sometimes when playing regular babble, words will go to the end of the list instead of in the correct alphabetic place. I am constantly refreshing to get everything in place.
9:46 am
phaeton
clue for the pe7?
9:46 am
penquis
i only have writing tools....a pl....
9:46 am
saanichcat
thing you wrute with
9:46 am
MollyL
Saan, have you logged out and then logged back in? Dr. God fixed that.
9:46 am
phaeton
sorry...the one after that
9:47 am
MollyL
Same word with an extra vowel in the middle
9:48 am
saanichcat
add an extra vowel into the writing instrument so it starts like the antibiotic
9:48 am
penquis
ty, molly, caani....
9:48 am
saanichcat
THANK YOU MOLLY, I will do that.
9:49 am
MollyL
If you play on playbabble.com and use the ADD WORD box it will create a word list in MY WORD LIST. Then you copy and paste that word list into Lickety's List ADD BULK when you have accumulated some words.
9:50 am
MollyL
That is the way all non Expert users play. The list is only a last resort when you can't find anymore words on your own
9:51 am
saanichcat
today's list is getting a beating
9:51 am
MollyL
It's not something that constantly updates like Expert
9:59 am
saanichcat
congrats!
10:08 am
godthaab
Where do I find the add word box? How do I know if I am on expert or not?
10:12 am
ivesyj
if you are in expert the clue list will be on your page
10:17 am
MollyL
Look at the address of your site. If it is www.playbabble.com you are on regular Babble. If not, you are on Expert.
10:20 am
godthaab
So what is the address for expert?
10:21 am
MollyL
It will say Babble Expert from LicketySplitUS: Beta V122 at the top of the page
10:24 am
MollyL
I think a lot of people (like Pen) are using Expert and don't realize it.
10:24 am
penquis
i am not...
10:24 am
LuvWordGames
I have found that I can use Babble Expert and even though the words don't show up in My Word List on the Babble section of the page, they are still being added and I can see that by refreshing Babble periodically. It will update the word count and stats below the grid. It will slot the words in the Lickety list in the correct place when using the Lickety Add word box.
10:24 am
godthaab
So I don't see that. How do I get to see that
10:25 am
godthaab
Right now, I have to copy and paste
10:25 am
MollyL
Expert is the only way you can automatically send clues to the list
10:25 am
godthaab
on a different web page
10:26 am
ivesyj
on expert only one word will show up in my word list and the same in the list on expert.
10:27 am
MollyL
Godthaab, that is how we all do it. I have Expert open and what Luvwordgames said about refreshing doesn't work
10:27 am
LuvWordGames
if you read my post below you will see that even though only one word shows in the add box they are still being entered into Babble, check the word count
10:28 am
godthaab
So how does one get expert? Why are some people expert and others don't seem to be?
10:28 am
MollyL
Then it is easier to just play on regular Babble until Expert gets fixed
10:29 am
godthaab
So just to clarify, when I get a world on babble, with expert, it automatically shows up on https://r46.me/babbleclues.html. ?
10:29 am
LuvWordGames
There was a link somewhere on Lickety's list that you could use to install iit
10:29 am
godthaab
I used to see his list, but it is not there now.
10:30 am
LuvWordGames
if you use Babble Expert you would click on the icon on your desktop to open it and the list and the Babble grid appear all on one screen. They aren't separate tabs on your browser.
10:30 am
MollyL
Oh I see how Expert is working. It won't generate a word list on the right side but you can add words at the top of the left side.
10:31 am
LuvWordGames
using the Lickety Add box
10:31 am
godthaab
Where do I find this icon?
10:31 am
MollyL
No, what gets entered in Expert does not show up in playbabble.com
10:31 am
LuvWordGames
If you install Babble Expert on your computer you would have this icon but if you don't have it installed it won't.
10:33 am
godthaab
Ah! I see I get this from the Apple Store. So by installing this, am I starting from scratch; are all my stats gone?
10:33 am
MollyL
To be specific, if you add words under the grid on the right side, they don't add. If you add them at the top of the list on the left side, they do.
10:33 am
MollyL
You can't use Expert on Macintosh products.
10:34 am
godthaab
Ah, Ok, that solves that problem. Thanks,
10:40 am
MollyL
So what I don't get is why aren't people just playing on Expert and adding their words directly into the list? Same result.
10:41 am
LuvWordGames
I don't think they realize that the words are being added because they are not generated on the My Word List on the right side of the grid. But as I've said, if you keep refreshing you'll see by the word stat count that they are in fact being added.
10:43 am
MollyL
You don't have to refresh. The My Word List part of Expert doesn't work. But the clues part does.
10:43 am
UntitledDocument
Late to the conversation, and not familiar with Expert - what is the point/purpose of it?
10:44 am
MollyL
It adds words to the list and maintains a correct word count
10:44 am
LuvWordGames
Yes you do have to refresh to see the stats
10:44 am
MollyL
Expert is an easier way to play.
10:45 am
MollyL
Not if you are adding your words directly into the list on the left side. Most people can't add words on the left side.
10:45 am
MollyL
Sorry, most people can't add words on the right side.
10:46 am
LuvWordGames
Well I don't know what other people are experiencing but that is how mine is working and it's much easier than any other wa
10:46 am
LuvWordGames
way
10:48 am
UntitledDocument
So to clarify - expert is an app/extension/page that allows you to see both the babble grid and lickety's list at the same time?
10:49 am
LuvWordGames
yes
10:49 am
