hello my poor little one-winged bird. How was your night?

3:02 am

dcseain

Welp, tonight, temporarily locked out of my apartment due to misplacing the key at a friend’s home, i’ve become dependent on my meds to sleep at night. I get a a strong sleepiness from the HCT diuretic.

3:03 am

grannyrose

hope you can find it soon, Seain. how frustrating for you.

3:04 am

dcseain

i’ll try in the daylight, but i think it’s in the house. Only place i couldn’t check when i went back in was the bathroom.

3:04 am

dcseain

and i dug through the couch i was sitting in.

3:04 am

dcseain

and combed the backyard with flashlight four times.

3:27 am

dcseain

happil no, but i have an echocardiogram at noon

3:34 am

grannyrose

i'm sure you will find the missing key when it's daylight. where are you going to spend the night as you can't get into your own place?

7:00 am

dcseain

friends’ home, as i have that key, and am doing laundry there.

I know hurshy plays squaredle, anyone else here now? that guy has ruined it with the ad that covers part of the grid. I can't even close it out today. so annoying.

9:11 am

UntitledDocument

Are you playing on mobile or desktop? I see ads below the grid but not obscuring anything

9:11 am

welki

weird, i don't see any ads there (but the 'add family membership' option to nyt puzzles is annoying to me - keeps refreshing/flashing when you enter words)

9:16 am

hokie carla

I am actually playing on the macbook app. maybe I should switch back to web page.

9:17 am

hokie carla

and having the same issue with the NYT one, welki. just let us close it!

9:18 am

welki

i don't play on the app, only on the web page

hurshy

12:36 pm

hokie carla

12:44 pm

MollyL

Mine is through Chrome

12:50 pm

crosshair

Good afternoon, Babblers. :)

12:53 pm

crosshair

The pe 6/21 reminds me of that old Danny Kaye movie. :)

1:01 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think I have the chrome one on but I'm playing squaredle through a mac app. not seeing how to do that.

1:01 pm

hokie carla

hey crossy

1:02 pm

MollyL

Carla, a Google search will tell you how to get Ad Blocker for Safari

1:16 pm

hokie carla

lol, I'm not using safari

1:16 pm

hokie carla

this is a separate app that has its own little icon on the dock

1:19 pm

hokie carla

but at least when I went back in this time it was a different ad I could close

1:23 pm

MollyL

(This is why I don't use Apple products)

1:30 pm

BzznBea

This conversation is like the meeting I attended today.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

1:44 pm

BzznBea

Still no Amazon. Mr. B's is fine, but I'm not included any more.

3:40 pm

BzznBea

3:46 pm

MollyL

Over their hair

4:14 pm

BzznBea

Maybe on their legs

5:07 pm

MollyL

Or their hairy legs

5:09 pm

MollyL

Now I am hearing Adam Sandler singing the Lunch Lady song about Chris Farley's Lunch Lady character. Sloppy joes...sloppy, sloppy joes

5:27 pm

Kamanjah

Bea, if you're still here, Prime changed how it works. No more sharing with anyone, including spouses. So, if you and Mr. B had it set up to share, you'll have to read about the changes Amazon made. I didn't see a solution, but didn't dig deeper because I don't share an account any longer.

5:34 pm

MollyL

Most services are changing from no more sharing. Netflix, Hulu now Amazon.

6:17 pm

cybernan

6:27 pm

MollyL

Ends in ----er or later

6:38 pm
