hello my darling, how did you fare today?

12:35 am

cybernan

finally found broll's di 7-8

12:35 am

grannyrose

not too bad. tomorrow i have free time in the afternoon. planning on just vegging. how was your night?

12:36 am

sprite

you do that. You need plenty of vegging to survive this week. I am fine. Pain is starting to become bearable, am no longer in nonstop pain management mode but can relax in between

12:37 am

grannyrose

so happy to see this. how did the new furniture?? cupboards?? go?

12:38 am

grannyrose

sorry. the last few weeks have blurred into one unhappy ache.

12:39 am

sprite

yeah, still i progress. Rob wants to interconnect the cupboards and so we have to wait for the right parts. Will come tomorrow. If all goes well, unpacking many boxes the day after, giving us more of a living area

12:40 am

sprite

don't apologize, silly. I know all about brain fog, pain and blurriness

12:41 am

grannyrose

thanks for being so understanding. i hate it when i can't remember clearly. please be really careful once those boxes are being unpacked. you don't want to go backwards with your healing.

12:42 am

sprite

no, I will let rob do the unpacking, i will just help by telling him where it all should go lolol

12:42 am

rururocks

Not seeing the di7/8

grannyrose

12:44 am

sprite

I am expecting a call back from my former pt, remember the brilliant isabella? I hope she knows a good one around here and maybe she has some tips too

12:44 am

sprite

lololol

12:45 am

grannyrose

i can be so naughty some times...takes practice but i manage.

12:46 am

sprite

12:46 am

rururocks

Too late for me. I can get down on my knees

12:47 am

grannyrose

12:47 am

sprite

yeah well, so can I, but... just keep dreaming

12:48 am

grannyrose

i hope Isabella can help you Sprite.

Dr_God

Man, this server stinks. But we're back up. Everyone will be happy to know that I spent some time yesterday getting a new server set up. I'll hopefully be able to move Babble over to its new home soon.

9:46 am

ChampFit

Great news! Thanks for the update.

9:50 am

10:13 am

hokie carla

wow, well done

10:13 am

hokie carla

I have found 5

10:14 am

penquis

it's interesting that one can view today's list on lickety even when the babble site is down... i had a bookmark....

10:14 am

hokie carla

pen!

10:14 am

penquis

carla!

10:14 am

hokie carla

well, I bet he generated today's list before babble went down

10:15 am

penquis

well the list must be automatically generated every day....

10:15 am

hokie carla

but that is good to know for future. I could play there first.

10:15 am

ChampFit

The clues went up at 12:18, before it bombed.

10:15 am

penquis

ah, ok...

10:15 am

ChampFit

Hagd all!

10:15 am

hokie carla

bye champ

10:16 am

penquis

one could just create a word list without the site....then bulk add to Expert and the words would appear on the website when the site was back up....

10:17 am

hokie carla

no expert here but I might find some way to export it back to here

10:20 am

Robespierre

Belated thanks to Dr. God! Life wouldn’t be quite as good without Babble!

10:20 am

penquis

amen!

10:21 am

penquis

NTPN....fictional French detective...

10:25 am

EvaNadine

Maigret!

10:25 am

MollyL

The server went down after Lickety's list went up. If it goes down before, no list until Lickety manually fixes things. The update and the "Clues are up" message are computer generated.

10:25 am

penquis

ding, ding, ding!!!

10:26 am

hokie carla

last col gray!

10:26 am

EvaNadine

my brain went to Poirot first, but i knew that wasnt right.

10:26 am

hokie carla

10:26 am
