Good morning sprite, evening here

12:42 am

hiya Foxy! Good evening to you and to the lovely Kiwi. HOw are you guys doing?

12:45 am

Foxy62

We’re pretty good. On early retirement as made redundant. Can’t remember if I mentioned it. At least I do more of these. Though only go half done yesterday. I get frustrated at time with these.

12:47 am

sprite

early retirement does not sound too bad! Yeah, babble can be frustrating sometimes. Maybe if you let go of the idea that you have to finish, it might become more fun?

12:48 am

Foxy62

Probably correct, as I’ve only completed about 7.

12:49 am

sprite

*grins* Most grids are not easy. Just finding words is achievement enough.

12:51 am

Foxy62

How is everything with you, and how did your birthday go?

12:52 am

sprite

we are struggling a bit. Rob has many health issues, one after another, and hasn't been able to do much of anything, not even walking, for several months now. Birthday was not fun because he had forgotten it... not strange in all the health stress but still not fun.

12:54 am

Foxy62

Very stressful, lots of hugs from Kiwi and I

12:55 am

sprite

awwww thanks so much :) Hugs right back at the both of you.

1:17 am

sprite

oh wow the 9 is a real word :D

1:42 am

sprite

and my new word learned for today is the balancing organ of a two-winged fly. Yes, I needed that. Will make sure to bring it up in casual conversation today.

ChampFit

Looks like a plural.

9:06 am

mkg

Got it. Now i get the joke ruru.

9:06 am

therealblah

rhymes with a real car rental company

9:11 am

MollyL

That word is stuck in my brain from the I Love Lucy episode where Lucy is fighting with Ethel and has a sign that says ne5 to Mertz.

LOL, my back porch camera captured a bear walking along our porch about 30 min ago. We are sitting one room across from the windows and didn't see it.

10:43 am

periwinkle

wow

10:46 am

hokie carla

winston didn't see it either

10:46 am

hokie carla

I'm assuming he will sniff around when we go out

10:52 am

Carla are those cameras easy to use? (not a techy here). I live on a trail that has cougars and bears right through my yard and down the driveway. My cat goes crazy when they go by. So it would be great to get one of those trail cameras once I get used to the door cams.

10:53 am

Aloyisius

we had a black bear in our yard last week. I looked up their diet and learned that they are omnivores, which helps them survive in the wild.

10:54 am

hokie carla

I think this bear ate all the peaches off my tree while we were gone and was coming to look for more.

10:55 am

hokie carla

saan, I have had a trail camera and these are blink security cameras.

10:55 am

hokie carla

I would say they're both pretty easy.

10:56 am

hokie carla

but my trail camera was from like 15 years ago so didn't have wireless, I had to physically remove a memory card to check it.

10:57 am

hokie carla

if you're putting on your house I'd probably go with the seurity ones, like blink or nest. On the trail I'd probably use a trail cam, but then you'd need to lock it somehow if people use that trail.

10:59 am

saanichcat

well they have become very popular so they can't be too difficult to use. This will be fun! The trail goes to a provincial park so there are no people.

11:00 am

saanichcat

Thanks for the advice Carla!

11:00 am

hokie carla

yes, I always enjoyed checking the memory card to see what I caught.

11:01 am

hokie carla

these cameras I currently have are triggered nonstop by some kind of bee or wasp. wish I could figure out how to stop them flying in to check it out.

11:03 am

saanichcat

ahhh that sounds like a challenge, stopping wasps, good luck with that

movieman

Does anyone know if expert is back working yet, and if so, could they post a link plz?

3:20 pm

LuvWordGames

It's not working like it used to but I still manage to use it by refreshing frequently. When I enter words into Expert they are entered into Babble at the same time but they never appear on the word list. If I refresh Babble it shows the stats below like how many words I've entered and it updates the tile stats too.

3:22 pm

MollyL

That is the same results you would get if you were playing on the regular Babble site without all the refreshing. Open Lickety's list (link below on the black bar) copy your word list here, and paste it into the add bulk section on the list site.

4:18 pm

lynxxx

Expert is still not working. Remembering that Lickety does not get paid and he said it would take at least 2 weeks to rewrite it. Happy that Bulk Add works though!
