They're working on it.
Don't stick a fork in it yet.😉

Done!

I had some trouble with the reaction icons - probably due to the website issues. I did try to react to everyone. It worked fine on this page, but only got one to work on the previous page.

The SSL certificate hasn't been renewed, which I'm sure it will be. There are a number of reasons it could be lagging, having updated a site a time or two in my day.

Week 28:  4/5  1*    Overall:  64/170  11*    I shall bring Beef Wellington, in honor of my 1 miss this week.

[Good Queen Jane]

3/5, no *.

Thanks to those who have explained the security alert. I’m not really worried about it and hanging out with you all is worth a little computer risk.

[DXD526]

2/5, with the *.

[30 Helens]

2/5, one* 

Since my gets this week were Cheers and Roots, I will raise a mug of Root Beer to toast each one of you.

[Bliss]

3/5 and *

There was a sale on French Vanilla ice cream and I picked up extra for y'all. I also bought really yummy cones. You'll have to bring your own sprinkles (can't stand them).

In honor of the first day of Spring this week, how about some cherry blossom ice cream cones?

(Though I don't think I could eat it...it's too pretty!)

[secnarf]

1/5 for me - just Roots.

[Mindthinkr]

3/5 with the * 

I made hazelnut biscotti yesterday so I’ll bring enough for everyone.

I'm with you. It's not that I can't stand them, I just don't see the point. To me, they are fairly tasteless and don't add anything but a little "pretty".

Agreed.

Just as glitter is the herpes of the craft world, sprinkles are my herpes of ice cream. I am not a fan of grit in my smooth, creamy, delightful indulgence!

Hate them but I can always go for some crushed nuts as long as they're not mine.

[30 Helens]

My favorite is pistachio, which also tends to have crushed nuts (not Shrek’s).

4/5 with 1*. My miss was Wellington - once my brain started singing "Wonderful, Wonderful, Copenhagen" from Hans Christian Anderson, there was no going back to the clue.  

[theartandsound]

WEEK 28 (17 MAR): 4/5, one*.

The CHEERS clue made me so happy. I spent the night watching random episodes of the greatest comedy ever made for television.

[ams1001]

Week 29: 4/5 with 2 ** ! (I got all but Thursday.)
YTD: 62/145 (43%) with 9*

3/5**

Got Monday, Thursday and Friday. Should have known Tuesday, it was super obvious in retrospect, but oh well. Best week I have had in a while.
