Good morning FM and Doug and all
greetings lynxxx, hope al lis well with you today. Hi Doug
Good morning all ((((FM))))) I had planned today as a long babble day now I will have to concentrate on housework instead.!!!
hi Caitlyn
cait!!!! hello, how lovely to see you!
it is a little grid today isn't it, not that I have started yet.
Hello lynxxx, FMitch and caitlyn
Little and easy FM
*smug* don't have any housework to do as cleaning lady was here yesterday.
Hello Douglas and lynxxx
Oh no you have caught the smugness bug!!
It's OK I just borrowed a bit of Atas' smugness :)
Has spring reached you yet cait?
Just about FM but we badly need some rain, the valley and vales are being burnt by the brats
the brats?
Yobs around here lyn
I see
Gosh thats bad cait, we have been lucky and had a couple of dry days but will be raining again by the end of the week.
It is so sad every evening we are phoning the fire brigade but they can never catch them, its not How Green is My Valley its How Black is My Valley now , very sad
that is awful :(
Holy cow...wasn't here for the flip, but I wish I was. I think this puzzle took less than 2 minutes total.
hi Grem - only for you! Congrats!
LOL gremlinn
Hi gremlin,thanks for coming up with the lists when lickety isnt around
no problem...couldn't be here tonight, went to see Alice
am going to save the grid for later today. What did you think of it Grem?
good?
Winter has departed without a bang or a whimper - very suspicious, certainly not the winter I know (but don't love)
It was all right
faint praise
Very fast paced...could have fleshed it out a bit
mm I have heard mixed reviews too
Oh its gone very quiet
had to go and make another mug of tea but back now.
LOL I went for coffee
one good thing about it being a quickie - I'm done not much later than I would be on a typical night
you are a fast finisher grem
It is looking like it will be another lovely spring day here again
I think I will go and have a bath and come back later (FM my email address is still the same at the moment I will drop you a line later) See you when I come back, bye for now
OK TTFN cait, I had better get the day going here too.
That was short and sweet
Bye FM and Cait & Grem - and Gran - Congrats! I'm off too
good morning. What a tiny grid! Jumping in for my few free minutes
Hi ruby, have also just jumped in while I eat breakfast. Glad it's a small grid today because I will be out most of the day.
going someplce fun, I hope, like the garden center? Is it too early to plant lilacs?

*passes ruby a mug of strong coffee* Hi ruby and Sally
Hi FM. Thought tea was your thing?
I'm sure you have all my words already. They are tinies! Hello FM, more coffee would be welcome, that's for sure.
Tea is def my thing but I think ruby needs coffee :)
I foresee another fireworks day for ruby (fingers crossed)
Well I only have two from that top R. Perhaps you could put the third one in accidentally!
FM is right, tea only in the afternoon, double expressos in the morning
only if my friend FM helps me later -- lol!
will be happy to do so later ruby as I haven't started yet, busy getting other things done this morning.
Well, what do you know. Tried a non-word and it worked.
I have so much to do, all of it involving paperwork, that I don't know where to begin
Sally, really enjoyed looking at your website the other day, that is some house you have there.
Oh thank you FM. Must update the garden pics some time, especially the pond which I have been clearing out :-( Filthy job and hard work.. It's a lovely house to live in and we can't quite believe we live here!
a dream abode :)
well I shall love and leave you, am going to get the shopping done early and swing by the garden centre on the way back as have more seeds to plant and money to burn *grin* Happy Babbling.
Not bad for the site of the brickyard spoil, eh!
Have fun FM.
how early can lilacs be planted, do you know? Does frost have to be totally over?
Don't have any lilacs ruby, so can't say. Do you have a good gardening book? Would have thought you need the soil to warm up a bit first.
Try google *poof*
see you later
((sally))
I can look in my RHS book later, ruby, but no time just at the moment. Will put a message on FB if you like.
Well, for anyone lurking, fireworks and I've gone. Nice little grid today.
ds
wow. this is an easy grid. I am down to 5 left.
Fireworks - that didn't last long
and fireworks for me too!
no kidding, usually the short ones are dhort but deadly. not this one.
I'm outta here - happy babbling
hi
hi lady, back for a little while
I still have 17 words left, not so quick and easy for me!
I just started. Doing a cryptic crossword and eating dinner at the same time
I do regular crosswords and acrostics and play lots of scrabble, but have never been able to figure out crypstics. The clues are too oblique for me; I'm very literal-minded
Some are very very hard and If i can't get 1 clue I don't bother
but these are a lot of fun for me, even though I don't finish. I've stopped looking at my rankings, so don't mind any more
I don't have time these days to worry about stats
I wish I could say I was that busy. Just have endless paperwork hanging over my head....
I am so tired at the moment. too much coffee
how much sleep do you get?
not enough
These next two weeks is going to busy
that's always a problem
I do put a limit though on work
did you get the 7?
all I'm good at are the phantom words!
Back from shoping and the garden centre, managed not to spend a furtune.
No.
very good
fm, do you have the 7?
FM is a Furtune what you spend when you have pets?
or many warm coats?
or singing pets?
and got 2 packs of seeds free LOL herin yes i think you are right :) me and my toypos!
still not started the grid ruby
what discipline!
gah I can't even spell tyoo correctly!
Isn't that what Ata spends when she gets furniture?
arr stupid cryptic crosswords and their American clues
I thought it was a special mixed breed of dog!
you are on a roll herin!
I thought cryptics only had British clues
I want to make sedge and fudge and suggest
nice phantoms ruby, I am going to go and put the kettle on for morning coffee so will be bak in a bit.
then I'll see you after lunch (out, thank God)
No. ONe of the clues was Residue left by glacier or in a state in America. Like i have a clue what teh States cities are
hahah, herin
moraine? maine?
Moraine. It is a city of Ohio. err. like I know that
marion?
loraine?
I looked it up. It is Moraine.
growing up I lived downhill from a moraine, where the glacier had stopped. LOL
I don't think you had glaciers in Australia...
I knew that Moraine was the glacial leftover but I had no idea that it was a town
nor did I
only been through Ohio, never stayed there although Cleveland has the rock and roll museum!
Maine is the state, or is placed within it = moraine, the glacial residue.
See my silly factor. O
hello haz
Good morning/evening all.
but herin found a city in Ohio by that name, too funny
Hi Haz. No Moraine is a city in Ohio.
glaciers in the UK?
Look at the clue. Residue left by a glacier or in a state in America.
But that is like me asking anyone what is a suburb of the state next to them. There is now way you could have that much in your head
true true
Morning Haz and the glittery one :)
The fact that there is a city in Ohio with that name isn't really solving the clue given. But now we know that it exists.
Good morning FM.
but who would want to go there?
Hope your day is a sunny one?
True. Maybe it is designed for many countries. Or maybe the cryptic person is a nut
It's bound to have attractions -all that glacial residue is bound to be worthy of note.
have you ever tried to produce a crossword puzzle?
It's sunny so far, pretty windy, but forecast isn't good for the end of the week, unfortunately.
Im sure Ata could comment on the glacial aspects.
maybe if you're looking for fossils
believe it or not, we need rain!
cait was saying the same thing ruby, they are very dry in Wales right now.
Ruby I think these cryptic people are just a little not right
I had better do something about my face or they'll run screaming out of the restaurant! see you later
Bye ruby have a nice lunch.
I am so pale and wrinkled, look like I've been dead a while but just don't know it!
Bye for now, ruby.
lol
I think you're right about that, herin
bye
Bye Ruby
I meant to say to ruby that lilac trees only bloom once they're seven years old. She was talking about them earlier.
PHone.
Haz how is Spangle?
Oh is that so?
I must press on 10.30 here and things to do. Happy Babbling.

Hello, everyone!
Got to go ... good luck all!
Maybe FM
(Darn, must have missed him.)
Bye Mongie
Hello Vi, this is getting to be a regualr meeting :)
And a lovely habit it is, too, FM.
Indeed my dedar :)
Though with this grid there won't be much time to chat!
Everyone will be on and off in five seconds flat!
It is a pleasant grid for such a small size.
Used to be the small grids were hellish but no so recently.
It's got to be about the easiest I've ever seen! I'll have to find something constructive to do with my life today. (Luckily I do have a few ideas.)
*grin* me too including a nap shortly.
Surprisingly enough, I'm actually not feeling too sleepy yet today. Strange!
am trying to stay away from the keyboard as have some dermatitus issues with 3 fingertips (:
Oh, no fun. =(
1 finger not happy the other 2 are ok ish but I do need to give them a break so to speak.
so on that note I shall poof for a while. Good to see you Vi.
Yeah. You wouldn't want to exacerbate it and have to stay away from the keyboard even longer.
well. So much for wasting my day on this! *sigh* Guess I'll go... clean something...
Bye FM
Farewell, FM! ((()))
No kidding, kc! There's the day's plan down the drain. lol
There, there kc
and congrats

Easy too. Hi Annie
hi hego, really..good cause I am too tired to sit here a long time
fireworks for me, you will have no trouble Annie.
Wow, that was quick, YAY hego!!!!!
ty Annie, why are you so tired?
I came home late last night and then found a notice under my door telling us that our equity is our Co-op is being raised by l45 a month for 12 months. I was so upset I found it hard to fall asleep. But I am starting to come around.
It is hard for us folks on fixed incomes to absorb something like that.
darn co-ops are a pain in the arse:((
Oh, sorry to hear, that's a big increase alright.
hi crossy, yes they are.
unless your the prez of the commitee and can crack the whip that is
But please don't let it affect your health.
Hi Crossy
howdy hego
gm everyone...most grey tiles I have ever gotten in 5 minutes!
hego, that was my thoughts too. I am not going to let it affect badly.
Hi Sea. It's really easy today.
wtg, Sea
howdy seaspray,nice to have a short one now and then
Good Annie
seem so hego...yes it is crossy
although,this looks lie it is going to be done in 20 min
I have to go all. maybe I can get something done today.
Took me an hour and I chatted the whole time.lol
bye hego, you have a pretty day to do it in.
bye hego....have a great day
Bye. Feel better Annie.
thanks hego, bye
well that was easy! I only needed the list for 1 word!
congrats, Jayde!!

I need two more from the G in the second row. Are there any GU words (I don't have any) I have 4 GR words from that tile.
Thanks!!

* What is a dentist's favorite musical instrument? * A tuba toothpaste.
that's great Babblerabble and hello
Hello, Mom
nice to see Babble back up and running
Sorry about the downtime, folks. I didn't even know the server was down. I didn't get any alert emails from Babblers, which is odd to say the least. ;)
ah, that is okay Dr_God, I would imagine if it were a 200+ grid you would have received all kinds of e-mails. :)
everyone angsts cos they are used to talking to you through the link at the bottom of the page, which of course vanishes!
Hi Ata
mom has a doctors appointment so I will take my leave now. See you all soon. {{Hugs}} Thanks Dr_God.
Evening Ata
*sigh* guess I am alone in babble land so will go and stock up the PB and then get sone chores done as the cabana boys are on stike.
TTFN
i'm here!
greetings all -- I lack one word, from the A -- can anyone give me the word counts for the A? Much appreciated.
a5,6,4,4,4,4
many thanks, mixi! Looks like I need a 4. Cheers
Hello! I alerted Dr-God - has he set me down in junk mail? I'm going to sulk....
poooor haz
hi all is there a clue for the lone E word?
e + HALT!
e+halt
ahh ty knidly
Lunch is over, so gotta scoot. **poof**
kindly even!
hi all, got about 10 minutes time before I have to run... almost enough for this mini babble!
Hello, sprite. It won't take you that long.
hi Haz, just read you were in a sulk... better now?
I suppose so.
It looks as though I might have sent it to the wrong e-mail address.
pooooooor haz
convincing :)
So, maybe I shouldn't sulk. But I did try.
trying counts.
I'd like the oo4 word to be a verb. I could pt it.
It is all probably my fault :(
I assumed that he would have been overrun with e-mails and apologised if he had already been contacted by a cast of thousands.
hi FM, of course. But we love you anyway.
Is that a confession, FM?
:)
well I have to be off, only 6 left. Will get them later tonight. Have fun all.
Hi FM,Haz,Sprite
Bye sprite, enjoy your evening.
Hello, robbie.
hi and bye robbie
See you later Sprite!
yes Haz, I am sure that it was my fault that a server smewhere in the the depths of the US went down at lunchtime.
I'm glad Babble is up and running again!
Recognition of guilt is the first stage of something or other.
yay! fireworks!
Well done, robbie!
ty Haz!
Congrats robbie
ty FM!
wonder if ruby got to finish today?
I think she did.
oh good :)
yay ruby
hi Ata
Hey Ata!
am going to sign off now and see you all on the morrow.
I need to get cooking. There I was thinking it was just going to be two of us, but no, there are four to feed. Off I go, bye for now.
bye FM see you tomorrow
Bye FM, bye all!
bye dear!!
bye Haz!
I guess I'll go too,and enjoy the sunshine
bye Ata
hi all - having trouble with two d words in the 4th column, the bottom d, for fireworks. Any clues please?
oh gosh nevermind - i found them!!! have a great day!
Hi, anyone who's there.
Nobody's there.
i guess today's grid's so small that everyone's finished and gone home.
I am here!
Hello rolotom. how are you doing?
well, thanks
love this small grid
Can you tell me. i think i've got all the words but i haven't had any fireworks. is that something you only get if you go professional?
Yes, you get fireworks only if you are a paying member
TY. maybe i'll do that. this is the first time i've finished, but its not much of an achievement on such a small grid.
Be proud -- it is awesome!
Thanks again. I thought i'd finished yesterday, but i've just looked at he list and i'd missed one word. Lickety's list is very helpful.
Hi All..Happy St. Patrick's Da
St. paaddy,s day,and no drop o' the creature for poor crossy as crossy is sick:(
random quicky question - if I'm reading old field notebooks and typing up the contents, is that transliteration?
only if you do it with just your mind
lol
what would I call it then? it's not translation cos its english to english ...
transferrance
?
can i suggest that it's transcription
sounds good gurnsey
transcription! that sounds good, ty!
the depth of babble information is boundless:))
I know! that's hy I thought I'd ask here ;)
I know! that's hy I thought I'd ask here ;) *why
g'd'afternoon, babblers!
top o" the afternoon to ye eva my lass!
eeeeeva!
have ye had yer green beer yet, ata?
green beer? we don't have such frivolities!
crossy checks his deoderant....
i forget. england is solely a nose-to-the-grindstone kinda country. no fun to be had.
do you really have green beer?
im saving all my misery for the last 3 seconds of my life
Happy St. Pat's Day to all the Irish
eva doesnt like you ....
only on st pattys day!
is it really *green*?
seems that way...sniff..whine...
it is beer with green food coloring in it
sorry crossy, been swapping back-n-forth between windows. (((huggles)))
doesn't doesn't brown beer + green = sludge coloured?
they usually use the really crap-tacular light beers for it.
ohhh makes sense

Ahhhhh. Babble.
Wow today's grid went FAST! Mostly normal words. Thank goodness, because I couldn't get the website to open all morning.
After being gone to visit sick family for a while I needed my Babble fix. lol hope you all have a good day (or night if it's that where you are).
H'lo room...I am down to the first du4/7...has this been clued before?
Hiya, Mandy. First du4/7 is common greeting for a guy, man, etc.
Finito.
Thank you! **Kicks the snake that just bit her** That makes fireworks...with a healthy dose of Lickety, of course!
Good eeeevening :)
...or not!
hiya nancy, mandy, judy, ormal. It's my BIRTHDAY!!!
oooh! happy birthday, Hydra!!!
And I've just got fireworks in ten mins after three glasses of fizzy Cava! Thanks, nancy.
So now I'm off for another glass. Anyone need a clue before I go?
takes a special kind of woman to babble tipsy ;) congrats, Hydra.
I think it makes it easier cos you try bolder moves. (Like in the rest of life!)
Now I really am going. See y'all.
I'll drink to that ;)
s'later!
Happy St. Patty's Day all
Right back atcha, Barb.
Happy St Patrick's Day to you, Barb!
down to 4 left
How is your rabbit Scrabbler?
I just started and have found 22. Tucker is all better. I am so relieved! I thought he would not survive the illness.
glad to hear it
anyone got any clues for the f, g and s all near one another...need 2 f's 1 g and1 s..thought I had tried every combo
I have all the Fs. which ones do you need?
i have f 4/7 4/12 4/7 5/16 did that make sense?
This grid is constipated with consonants.
yep, absolutely. For your last two, just double the end consonant of your last two
I don't think I could have conveyed that in a more confusing manner if I'd tried. I get all excited when I get to give clues, I'm sorry#
got them thank you Nancy boy
niiice. You're welcome!
worked perfectly...
I understood that, NB
my brain is on frazzle as my hay supplier is now out of hay and we haven't got to pasture yet...needing hay and going to have to pay dearly for it
2 left
three left here. Race ya!
you might just win
You mean another supplier will ask for more money?
I'm pretty slow, Barb ;)
yup...all our local hay has been bought up...so now who ever has some can charge what they want
mind you I was getting an awesome deal...about 5.50 a bale delivered...others are wanting 10.50 delivered...and that is out of town stuff
fireworks :D
i need at least 120 bales more to get me to may so we can go out on the pasture area
Does this happen every spring?
knew you would beat me way to go NB
Yippee NB!
I am usually pretty good at guessing how much we need...but had some problems with some of our hay we bought and now have to scramble
it just hurts when you have to jump from 550 to 1050 per bale is all
thank you ladies ;)
so need a clue for the g and the middle s...how about it nancy boy...a chance to clue again ;)
I might not be able to control myself, Barb ;) lemme see..
Yep, that is a big jump in cost.
>> waits with baited breath<<
well, I don't quite know which ones you need, Barb *grins*
got the g one just the s to go
is the remaining S a four? I'm not sure which one originates from the middle S. I think it's the one that describes the action of a spoon within a looovely cup of tea
Ive got s 4/5 5/12 4/4 5/12 4/5 5/12
7 left for me
have that one
go scrabbler
Iiiii see. There's two s 4/4s; one is the spoon thing and the other is s + consonant + b** constrictor, a type of snake
BEASTLY snakes as well.
YEAH!!! you give awesome clues Nancy Boy thanks....Got Fireworks...yippy...>>>dances around the room<<
My first one as a full memeber LOL
Fireworks! Not a bad grid.
>>needs to catch my breath<<<
nothing to do for the rest of the evening, now! Congratulations, Barb ;)
and to you, Scrabbler!
yeah scrabbler
Then this is really special, Barb! In the beginning it feels great to get fireworks.
suppose I should spend my time wisely: pregaming before the St Patty's day celebration tonight ;) neither of us are even Irish...
to bad they werent bigger huh? oh well it is great I completed it
Everybody is Irish on March 17th.
Having an irish ale oh wait are you old enough for that there?
of course, Barb! I'd be a pretty awful bartender if I wasn't old enough to serve ;) drinking age is 18 here. And I'm a full YEAR older than that!
well have to run all...need to find some hay. thanks for all the help.
wasn't sure on the age limit over there is all
Have a guiness for me...(since I can't) enjoy your evening
OK, off I go now. Enjoy the rest of the evening and be careful if you will drink.
18 for everything here ;) drinking, smoking...everything. you underage, Barb?
Haven't been to London since 1980 a long time ago
*must stop talking to people who have left*
Nope way way over 19
thanks, Scrabbs. It's alright...when it comes to drinking, I'm a professional
I am 19 with 26 years of experience LOL
Oh I didn't leave there...My dad was born in Bilston outside of Wolverhampton area....Use to have a cousin in London who worked for the British Embassy
waheyyy, Leo's home...gonna get changed and party like I drove the snakes out of Ireland myself. Tata!
anyways..need to rest before picking up my son from school bye all tata
hello!
fireworks. 1st time 4 months & months
6 left *sigh*
any one follow english football
oh yes
hi! everyone. I can help if you need it Katie. Tickymong .... sorry I hate fotball, but hi to you.
sorry football.
hi Mo. Could I have clues for the D on the right hand side of the gird please
*grid
have you got de6/24 and 7/36?
most def not!
Oh I have now, ty x
Yeahhhhh fireworks, thanks mo
oh! good . just about to give a clue.
congratulations Katie.
ty
Saints fan here. We might not make the play offs but Pompey (Portsmouth) (our arch rivals) have been docked 9 points for going into administration so they will be relegated from Premiership to Championship, yipee!!!!!!. So its been quite a good day.
tickymong ... hope I havent offended you, about the football thing!!!!
Hi mo no not offended
good.
the Saints are Southampton .... am I right?
Hi mo wife does not like football either but has learnt to put up with it
yes right they are the Saints
who ts your local team
my hubby doesnt like it either.
I come from Rotherham and other local teams are the Sheffield teams.
I know the Rotherham ground was?is notorious for being on a slope!!!
my late father and brother were great supporters..... well someone had to be!!!!
no wonder u and your hubby dont like football
lol!!!
please convey my sympathies to your dear wife.
I don't think it's fair for to be docked points for going into administration. Points should be based on your performance on the pitch.
hi omarr .... I think I will stay out of this one ..... being that I dont know what you mean. lol!! :-)
tickymong mentioned it earlier... Portsmouth have been docked 9 points because the team went into administration
must be off now ... goodnight all, and happy footballing!!!
I mean if a club is doing very well financially, should they be awarded extra points? ;)
night!
lol,oh yes,euopean football...never knew it had caught on lol!:))))
omarr ... I agree with you ..... they just want to get the underdogs out!
European, Asian, South American, etc! Pretty much the only place it hasn't caught on is here in North America, but even that's slowly changing :)
indeed omarr even our little town has at least 15 soccor pitches
tiptoing out .... goodnight all.
im just funning with you;)
hehe
12 left, sigh. even the little easy grids are foxing me tonight!

lol poor TO
ouch TOwl
it was the luna bars that killed me, the cake and irish whiskey and stour cheddar were fine as was the ham wrap
that health food will KILL you
for the F, do you have the word that uses the high value letter?
they have irish whiskey at a whole foods?? in PA??
you cannot eat healthy food on top of all that, silly. Stay with the theme!
no they have blarney whiskey cheddar and stout cheddar
u kujed the stiut cheddar - smooth
ooo
i think whiskey would be better
easy, Towl, easy now... :D
crap guess the second sample did me in *hic*
I have soda bread in the oven to go with our cabbage soup and roast pork. I don't have any Irish coffee.
i made irish soda bread for the office

Good night Sprite!

actually there is a webpage that predicts the peak that is fairly accurate
but with out that they are like the fall leafs and the spring flowers general and you notice a few and then there they all are
heck i wish i had gone out to celebrate tonight
whosh i am glad i am home
I did get fireworks myself just now. When have I ever monkeyed so luckily? Must be the luck of the Irish.
Well holy cow. 9 minutes to finish. And I am not all that spectacular at this game. Was that the easiest grid ever?
whoo hoo stidmere
whoo hoo wick
and yes this is probably the easiest grid ever
Well, if it wasn't the all-time easiest, it must have been a close second. Good for you wicks.
Thanks all! :) Happy St. Pat's. I'm off to do...something else. I have all sorts of free non-Babble time that I didn't expect when I joined the grid.
Time to wander off. May your evenings been pleasant.
have fun wick and stidmere
TO did you get the last two F words?
Fireworks! And hello
whooo hooo dix
Goodbye
bye dix
yes ty
okie doke
time to go. happy babbling to all!
bye TO
oh no! not funny. My principal had to walk around the building handing out Reduction In Force letters to a bunch of wonderful staff members (thanks to our "governor" 's new budget). and here is that nasty word in the grid today
too bad dorens!
I spent the day driving to Richmond and back to raise money with no success :-( times are still hard
what's scary is that I may be one of them ... we need to wait and see, but if our budget isn't passed, the next round of cuts might mean no guidance counselors in the district
wow that is scary
sorry bout that jmc. money is certainly tight. i just didn't think the governor would cut 820 million$$ in state aid to the schools... cutting off the nose, etc
i agree dorens that just leads to spending more on health and the "justice" system
my mother taught 46 (i think) years and my aunt 53 (I know) so I am a big supporter of schools
and unemployment.... HS dropout rate will definitely rise without intervention at earlier ages
hello doren, sorry to hear
fireworks
larger class sizes hurts everyone, but particularly the at risk student who doesn't quite qualify for Special Ed but needs lots of help. hi Owl
TO did you get fireworks before you left?
fw here too... maybe the alltime fastest grid ever?
yes ty, je
doren do yo have power?
whoo hooo dorens
i do! hip hip hooray
howdy babble buds. i've missed chat w/y'all
(sorry the silly alarm people for my neighbors just called me)
hi ad
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO DORENS!! WTG!! YAY FOR YOU! SPEECH SPEECH *band starts playing the victory song*
okay i am going for a walk and maybe get some supper
c u you tomorrow
speech? i'd like to thank my power company.
i've been playing on my netbook and can't get chat/clues/babble on the same screen w/out scrolling. tonite i'm on the reg laptop and here to chat!!!
tiny grid
we're gonna get a visitor here at babble
*giggle* great speech dorens
and ken for having such a nice home for me to stay in while mine had no power
friad it may be a bit lonely tonight ad
lol dorens
*poof*
we keep getting power "poofs"
and my daughter who lives in brooklyn but offered to let me stay at her house (it would make about a two hour commute, i reckon)
doren,poor little falls!
well this one lasted from saturday to tuesday, do. more than a poof in my book!
i had to be on the phone today for hours resolving an insurance issue and introduced the rep to babble. she's 60 yrs old, living alone and loves computer games,esp word ones. used to be on pogo. soooooo i told her to come here
we've got a generator
yes indeed owl, all i had was no electricity for a couple of days, not the end of the world. but flooded houses would be much worse
good evening folks, and hi doren - I was thinking about you - how are you surviving this hurricane?
Hal-low everyone!
hi jbv.. i'm just fine. no water problems, just trees all over the place that mess up power lines. but i'm home now
perth amboy was bad, yes?
oh 3 days without power? terrible - we only had an outage for about 12 hours - 4pm Sat to 4am Sun.
my friend buried her mom on saturday and they had to have guys hold the casket down at gravesite
oh that sounds horrible
I live in East Brunswick - it was really bad here - trees down all over the place - a neighbor had a really close call, big oak tree leaning on his garage but it did not crash through!
winds so bad. people died here. (closer to NYC made the news
we lost a few roof tiles, no big problem, no flooding, so all in all, we were lucky
not a hurricane, just hurricane winds
yes, very bad storm indeed. Joanne, I thought you worked in Perth Amboy though... were schools closed?
my poor friend, the day they buried her mom, that night a huge tree fell (her favorite) and took out her hot tub and greenhouse andhouse gutters in back of house
where in CT are you?
Yes, work in Perth Amboy - no school closings - now we're dealing with the Christie hurricane or tsunami or whatever it's going to be
i'm in Bridgewater; southwest got the bad damage
i'm in litchfield county (west)
indeed... RIF letters went out today to all nontenured teachers... 5% of our budget means jobs for sure.. just hoping not guidance!
my friend in Stamford did have lots of trees down and some damage to garage
letters already? we are all waiting to hear - it will be bad - is your job in jeopardy?
that's what i was sayaing before, westport/stamford got it real bad
Hi all, I am missing my babble tonight - finished too quickly this morning. How is everyone?
it's on the chopping block, but fairly far down... they may do away with counseling in the district altogether... pretty sad
pretty easy grid... i don't like them this short
hi mom, do you always need help?
that is very drastic doren - sorry to hear it - Let's hope it doesn't get to that point
Most of the time - sorry to hear of your troubles with the storm - we got it here in NH a couple of weeks ago - had a huge tree on my house
actually i'm glad it's short today...i have a lot to do, and only got home about an hour ago or so... glad I'm done so I can have an early night.
mnh, that is a shame.... i had a huge oak fall in my yard a few y ears ago (during floyd), and I saw it happen, but it just misssed my house
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who are celebrating!
Happy St Paddys day to you too - no irish blood in me but that does not mean I dont celebrate in my own way.
me too, I enjoy the wearing of the green
same here... and good night too. i'm out. see you soon
my hugs was just saying bars are packed today.. i have fond memories of going to the woodstock pub in woodstock NY to hear my father in law play the pipes and have green bagels and green beer
This was an 80 ft+ ash that came down - sons bedroom is a mess but its only a house - we are all fine
night Dorens
bye doren -
have a great nite doren
Thought I would check in if anyone needed help or to just chat for a alittle while waiting to pick up my daughter from dance
wel tx mom, but for me, i just got here, so not need help quite yet. thanks so much for the offer
We have a cool little town in Woodstock NH near Loon Mountain Ski area. There is also a very quent (sp?) town in VT named Woodstock - great little shops
Must be alot of partiers tonight or most people finished early as very few chatters on tonight - not the usual fare!
Fireworks!
Question for you ADHD - how can you be 9 when your 10 year old introduced you to your husband - hmmmm!
WOOOOO HOOOOO MP!! WTG!! YOU DID IT!!STAND AND TAKE A BOW!! *the victory band starts playing*
gotta run...
i play around with the age... actually my birthday is march 23rd and it's a milestone birthday
Good night mpittore
would love clue for the 7 please.
hi gang. small grid! is there a list?
Congrats and happy birthday
tx... it's a big one (for me anyway); but lucky for me, as an ADHDer, I'm a perpetual kid
I LOVE SMALL GRIDS.
de7/36 de+ what you find on a dalmatian
a tyrant
ty got it and the six.
I hit one milestone a couple of years ago and hope for another
which one mom?
sry i realize that was a rude question
hit the 50 and hopefully working to the 60
I'm proud to have made it this far as a baby boomer
ahhhh. i'm hitting the 60 next week
Wow that is great
I had my kids later in life so still have teenagers - dont know if I will make it to 60
but i'm so lucky to have good genes; everyone thinks my grands are my own kids. i always win those guess my age things as the country fairs... i have so much fun with it
Lucky you - my friends from high school have grandkids my kids ages - yikes!!!
but i've been 100 percent gray/white for years (my dad was white at 35). so gray-be-gone is my friend
there's pros and cons to having them young OR older
You know there is this great salon I can introduce you to - takes care of my gray/white issues
i usually pass for 40, and is this town, women are having babies in their forties (lots of career women here)
Yes there is - my husband and I travelled some before kids - now we camp with kids and I slowing rise in the morning after sleeping on the ground
so it's only natural that they'd think the kids are mine
where are you
lol mom
connecticut
yes I new that - forgot already - thats what happens after 50 - lucky you - only a couple hours from me
really? where are you????
New Hampshire - we had our storm blast a couple of weeks ago
I am just west of our Capitol
i love new hampshire. are there places to ride atv's there?
my hubs is always looking for new places to ride
You can go far north for lots of places. There is a state park not far from us - Clough State Park that allows them - my husband hunts there
this grid is waaaaaaaaaay too easy. i'm not liking it.
I finished it in 15 minutes - no chatting while playing - couldnt believe how easy - never even asked for a clue - a first for me
hi all
we go to northern maine (where he's from), his sister still lives there, it's a 10-11 hr drive, but there are 13000 miles fo trails

a woman named Kathy from 21st Century Ins. is supposed to try Babble tonite (a rep I spent hours on the phone with today for an ins. issue; she loves computer word games and of course, I told her to playbabble)

yeah, 28
funny - my F is gray... it is the G that mocks and snickers
i sent her to babble for the community of friends
2 - both G - do I list?
hope she announces herself, DO. we love another victim!

whoooo hooooo red! it was a nice easy grid.
yes, usually the smaller ones are so tough!
i know what you mean, this one was so out of the ordinary!
Hullo...
hi jellen
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
this one was easy-peasy
for me
other smaller ones can be difficult
oh.... I killed the chat.
Just started, ruru...
hi jellen...
help w/ de6/7 pls
Hi, ruru...how's Dylan?
de + cons + cooking utensils
he's great...pooped today from his obedience lesson
tired I mean.. poop is another matter
Thank You, ruru!!!
lol, is dylan at the top of his class?
absolutely LBD
he is the only one in his class however...lol
Ah, in a class by himself?
yup.. private lessons...
all those cookies.. just for him...lol
And fireworks!
(that was quick.jellen...good going!)
need to walk the doggies.. be back later.
Bye, ruru...
I'm going to play with some new software...farewell!
nbt at 16 to go ..
go torg! bye jellen, bye ru
hellOOO babblers!
guess nobody sticks around for the short ones
that or i killed the chat
or both
the chat is dead. long live the chat
howdy, pippin
I'm still here, pippin. I've got 4 left.
evening, mrs t
evening, dc
i made it to halfway but not nbt yet
weird, i said hi to you both and it didn't register that message!
the server was down earlier today, and the chat's been a bit slow/weird for a couple weeks
i'm guessing he bounced the server
okay then...
this is surprisingly hard for me today
but then i may just be tired from so much work
yes, this is a good example of a small, challenging grid
the few vowels in this case makes it harder
i would say so!
3 left....
the Fs are easy
as are the Rs
uh, i could use some help with the 2 longer f's if you're willing....
double the consonant in the 4.7 then plural
down to 4 now that i found the GR words
Thanks!
Fireworks! thanks for the help
congrats, Mrs. T.
thank ye kindly!
firewords :)
and on that note, i should off to sleep.
Happy babbling, yall! {poof}
Congrats to you, dc!
thank you :) {re-poof}
And I'm off to bed, too.... Or maybe just off, I'm not really sure.
phantom gestapos
heya grem!
hi pippin
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
Still tired out from this puzzle - it was a real doozy.
hi Min... Hello everyone
wow I was not expecting firewords all by myself!
no firewords yet for me
but making good progress
Congratulations dan2bit on fireworks! Good for you!
I am done! I have fireworks!de7/36 was my last word
yay min!
i have two left, the two long ones
are they related?
the 7 is a plural of a 6
Ye they're related. One is singular,other is the plural
figures. now i just have to figure out one of them...
Go pippingeek go!
fish or something obnoxiously hard? or compound or what?
try a plural?
hello all!
everything is very slow for me at the moment, serious computer lag.
stid!
fairly common, not a compound
Hi stidmama! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
is it the de 6/7 you need, pippin?
got it! finally!
Thanks Min -- great oxalis you have there. *grin* I am wearing green today, but it's subtle...
Congratulations pippingeek on fireworks! Way to go!
YAY pippin!
the time on the chog is seriously wrong...
oh! no it's not, I am just totally confused! LOL
Hey du5/16! Here another clues story.Corey Haim is the lates Hollywood tragedy. Like many young la 4/5 in Hollywood, he made a big oo4/5 and over dosed on drugs. Unfortunately, he was a du4/7 who ad5/14ed the habit of drug use.I wonder if he gr5/20ed money to pay for drugs.Guess when he took drugs it hit the sp4/5 & made him feel good.His drug use didn't seem to put a ri 4/7 between him and his family & friends. They always st5/12 up for him.He also never seemed to st 4/4 up any trouble. In the end, he could not st 4/5 using drugs and it la4/5ed him in a cemetary.My story of clues st 5/12 here. I hope this helped those not finished yet. Good luck to all finishing the puzzle!
I am going to head out -- too big a lag. (((hugs all))) will be on tomorrow evening, at some point. *poof*

Hi Everyone still here (if anyone IS still here!
Barely, Nef ..
as I can see, tor. How are you tonight?
This is a quck and fun grid.
Hi Nef :)
I just posted my new icon for wine bottles
Hi jilli. And Happy St. Patricks day to you! :)
Not bad Nef .. Flagging .. Going to bed soon ..
I know. I just tried to see you green icon
Same to you, Nef, although I haven't adrop of Irish in me (as far as I know) -- all English and Scottish (from the other side of Scotland)
Same here tor; but I have 10 left and I'll finish first (I hope)
I can clue if you need any, Nef -- finished last night
I'm sort of half Irish, jilli. I'm Irish and Norwegian mainly, but I guess there's some English and Welch in there too.
I do have a great-great grandmother who came from Ireland but she was Anglo-Irish.
Thanks jilli, if I'm not done in 15-20 minutes, I'll ask (if you're still around)
I plan to be around -- just waiting for the flip, watching TV (MSNBC)
Okay. I have 6 left, though, so I *think* I'm okay!
what's tomorrow's theme?
wine bottles, harp -- you can nearly always click on my icon to find out
Hi harp. How are you tonight>?
interesting, jilli, a customer just asked yesteray about ice wine
that's handy, pip -- does your place have any?
no, but they were explaining what it was.. not much of a wine lover so i can't say i'm that intrigued
I have a tiny sample bottle and just had a little taste -- I like it as a dessert addition, unfortunately ($$$)
1 left
gogogo nef!!!

Thanks, jilli; it was the first thing you clued
(that was firewords BTW). I'm so tired my eyes are crossong!
sort of a curly word, nef! YAY for you!!!
Thanks, jilli. I had a clinic today and was at work by 6AM; sure am tired all of a sudden
not surprising, when you were up so early!
I need some sleep. Than you for your help, jilli. I'm off to bed.
Pleasant dreams, sweet repose, nef.
Same to you, jilli! Good night! <Poof>
jey there jilli - great icon and story
I love ice wine
**hey**
hi all; hugs flosey; so do I love ice wine!
hi Dee
Hi flosey -- I love yours!
hi dee hi :)
thanks jilli
hugs jili
I finally made a flip
It will be interesting to hear what ruru has to say about your question, Flosey.
Yippee for dee!
We bought some amazing ice wine several years ago in Pittsburgh; it was the first time I had heard a little of what you wrote, jili. Very interesting and very delicious!
lol, he does seem to be very knowledgeable
421 words today
to make up for yesterday
oh yuck, please, no
flosey -- you'll get a giggle out of this -- you've seen the For Sale sign on the Garry Oaks winery? Well, grandson's gf decided they should move here and buy it -- they don't have 2 cents to rub together. Now she's sugesting their friends chip in a few bucks to add to her $80. It was a running joke the whole time they were here and seems to be continuing
hello
