Hello Pigale

Get plenty of rest and dark chocolate!

I use chrome and only need to tick the box.

I used to find the one minute wait before I could post again annoying at times.

I'm using Chrome too (and I would recommend it to anyone using any other browser!)

Hello Rossim,

No problem with the rest - can't do much anyway;
and no problem either with the dark chocolate - it's my favourite!

but...... why dark chocolate Rossim? I know it's good for morale and
for bad throat, but in my case? Is it good against anemia?

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, I think you are right.....it does sound as though the browser makes a difference.
if you read the "@Norah" thread, you will see that Brendan and Tyke have also come to that conclusion - both saying, as you do, that Chrome is giving no problems.
Maybe you could change your browser on your other appliances....and see if that would help?
It may be worth a try?
I use Edge on my desk top computer, and Chrome on my Hudl.
Thank you for the answers to those two clues...and the explanations.
I struggled but could not arrive at an answer!



Thank you, too, Chris and Cerasus, for your input.

Hello, Elle!
Yes, Chrome appears to be the way to go.
No dissenting voices so far!
I have Brave on 'phone and tablet.
Brave is a very good browser and has built-in Adblock which I thought was simpler, and suited me fine.
I'll experiment tomorrow with my tablet.
There are other browsers with adblock built-in and I'll try one or two, if I get a minute. (heading to Pine Cone!)
There are dozens of browsers.
Glad you got your puzzle finished!

Hi, Rusty!
You will be looking forward to your outing to the Pine Cone tomorrow!
How many granddaughters will be accompanying you?
I know Miss L-B often has to work at the weekend.
I think we have a quiet weekend ahead...just the two of us,
If I am remembering correctly, BB has a birthday party to attend on Sunday, which means they will not be visiting us.
We do miss seeing them on such occasions, but they have such a lot of activities to fit into a short space of time!
Our eldest grandson - in the Midlands - takes one of his exams in relation to secondary school tomorrow.
So fingers crossed he does well.......

Hello, Elle,
Just Miss O tomorrow.
She suggested it earlier.
I am looking forward to it, although I'll miss the skiing on TV.
Yes, I am sure your grandson will do well.
I wonder what the breakfast spam will be like tomorrow!

Hi, Rusty!
Well, let us hope that after all the trauma suffered today in counting traffic lights, chimney pots and (of all things) shop frontages, the early morning spam is consequently lessened!
You will have to report back on that, though, as I always miss the most of it, because I am out walking at that time.
I have been getting away with only ticking the box though, for most of this evening---perhaps, hopefully, my danger value as an alien (potential spammer ) is lessening?
I shall hope so!
I learned tonight (from 15 to 1) that Mary Wollstencroft is Mary Shelly's mother.....

Hello Pigale

Yes, dark chocolate is supposed to rich in iron and good for the blood. As a blood donor that's my excuse anyway!

Good morning, Elle!
Still a good helping of spam this morning!
Just having to tick the box so far, but that's using Chrome.
Will post on other browser later to see what like.
I do not know either of the Marys you mentioned.
Did one write "Frankenstein" perhaps?
