Little and easy FM

2:23 am

Hello Douglas and lynxxx

2:24 am

Oh no you have caught the smugness bug!!

2:25 am

It's OK I just borrowed a bit of Atas' smugness :)

2:25 am

Has spring reached you yet cait?

2:27 am

Just about FM but we badly need some rain, the valley and vales are being burnt by the brats

2:27 am

the brats?

2:27 am

Yobs around here lyn

2:28 am

I see

2:28 am

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.

2:29 am

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

2:30 am

that is awful :(

2:30 am

Holy cow...wasn't here for the flip, but I wish I was. I think this puzzle took less than 2 minutes total.

2:31 am

hi Grem - only for you! Congrats!

2:31 am

LOL gremlinn

2:31 am

Hi gremlin,thanks for coming up with the lists when lickety isnt around

2:32 am

no problem...couldn't be here tonight, went to see Alice

2:32 am

am going to save the grid for later today. What did you think of it Grem?

2:32 am

good?

2:33 am

Winter has departed without a bang or a whimper - very suspicious, certainly not the winter I know (but don't love)

2:33 am

It was all right

2:33 am

faint praise

2:33 am

Very fast paced...could have fleshed it out a bit

2:34 am

mm I have heard mixed reviews too

2:39 am

Oh its gone very quiet

2:39 am

had to go and make another mug of tea but back now.

2:39 am

LOL I went for coffee

2:40 am

one good thing about it being a quickie - I'm done not much later than I would be on a typical night

2:41 am

you are a fast finisher grem

2:43 am

It is looking like it will be another lovely spring day here again

2:43 am

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

2:44 am

OK TTFN cait, I had better get the day going here too.

2:44 am

That was short and sweet

2:45 am

Bye FM and Cait & Grem - and Gran - Congrats! I'm off too

3:12 am

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.

3:16 am

going someplce fun, I hope, like the garden center? Is it too early to plant lilacs?

lol, not really fun. T has a hospital appointment and although he can now drive short distances, this is about an hour and a half's drive so I will take him.

3:19 am

sounds like my life!

3:19 am

dude

3:19 am

Please put in a word I haven't got next time.

3:25 am

*passes ruby a mug of strong coffee* Hi ruby and Sally

Hi FM. Thought tea was your thing?

3:25 am

I'm sure you have all my words already. They are tinies! Hello FM, more coffee would be welcome, that's for sure.

3:25 am

Tea is def my thing but I think ruby needs coffee :)

3:26 am

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!

3:26 am

FM is right, tea only in the afternoon, double expressos in the morning

3:27 am

only if my friend FM helps me later -- lol!

3:27 am

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.

3:28 am

I have so much to do, all of it involving paperwork, that I don't know where to begin

3:28 am

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!

3:31 am

a dream abode :)

3:32 am

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.

3:33 am

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.

3:34 am

Try google *poof*

3:36 am

see you later

3:36 am

((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.

4:25 am

ds

wow. this is an easy grid. I am down to 5 left.

4:33 am

Fireworks - that didn't last long

and fireworks for me too!

no kidding, usually the short ones are dhort but deadly. not this one.

4:34 am

I'm outta here - happy babbling

4:56 am

hi lady, back for a little while

4:56 am

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

4:58 am

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

5:00 am

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

5:02 am

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

5:04 am

how much sleep do you get?

not enough

These next two weeks is going to busy

5:06 am

that's always a problem

I do put a limit though on work

5:08 am

did you get the 7?

5:09 am

all I'm good at are the phantom words!

5:09 am

Back from shoping and the garden centre, managed not to spend a furtune.

No.

5:09 am

very good

5:09 am

fm, do you have the 7?

FM is a Furtune what you spend when you have pets?

5:10 am

or many warm coats?

5:10 am

or singing pets?

5:10 am

and got 2 packs of seeds free LOL herin yes i think you are right :) me and my toypos!

5:10 am

still not started the grid ruby

5:11 am

what discipline!

5:11 am

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

5:12 am

I thought it was a special mixed breed of dog!

5:12 am

you are on a roll herin!

5:12 am

I thought cryptics only had British clues

5:13 am

I want to make sedge and fudge and suggest

5:14 am

nice phantoms ruby, I am going to go and put the kettle on for morning coffee so will be bak in a bit.

5:15 am

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

5:16 am

hahah, herin

5:16 am

moraine? maine?

Moraine. It is a city of Ohio. err. like I know that

5:17 am

marion?

5:18 am

loraine?

I looked it up. It is Moraine.

5:18 am

growing up I lived downhill from a moraine, where the glacier had stopped. LOL

5:19 am

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

5:19 am

nor did I

5:19 am

only been through Ohio, never stayed there although Cleveland has the rock and roll museum!

5:20 am

Maine is the state, or is placed within it = moraine, the glacial residue.

See my silly factor. O

5:20 am

hello haz

5:20 am

Good morning/evening all.

5:20 am

but herin found a city in Ohio by that name, too funny

Hi Haz. No Moraine is a city in Ohio.

5:21 am

glaciers in the UK?

5:21 am

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

5:22 am

true true

5:22 am

Morning Haz and the glittery one :)

5:22 am

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.

5:22 am

Good morning FM.

5:22 am

but who would want to go there?

5:22 am

Hope your day is a sunny one?

True. Maybe it is designed for many countries. Or maybe the cryptic person is a nut

5:23 am

It's bound to have attractions -all that glacial residue is bound to be worthy of note.

5:23 am

have you ever tried to produce a crossword puzzle?

5:23 am

It's sunny so far, pretty windy, but forecast isn't good for the end of the week, unfortunately.

5:23 am

Im sure Ata could comment on the glacial aspects.

5:23 am

maybe if you're looking for fossils

5:24 am

believe it or not, we need rain!

5:24 am

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

5:25 am

I had better do something about my face or they'll run screaming out of the restaurant! see you later

5:25 am

Bye ruby have a nice lunch.

5:25 am

I am so pale and wrinkled, look like I've been dead a while but just don't know it!

5:26 am

Bye for now, ruby.

5:26 am

lol

5:26 am

I think you're right about that, herin

5:26 am

bye

Bye Ruby

5:28 am

I meant to say to ruby that lilac trees only bloom once they're seven years old. She was talking about them earlier.

5:28 am

PHone.

Haz how is Spangle?

5:29 am

Oh is that so?

5:31 am

I must press on 10.30 here and things to do. Happy Babbling.

It is hard for us folks on fixed incomes to absorb something like that.

8:50 am

darn co-ops are a pain in the arse:((

8:50 am

Oh, sorry to hear, that's a big increase alright.

8:50 am

12:13 pm

Hello, Mom

12:14 pm

nice to see Babble back up and running

12:14 pm

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. ;)

12:15 pm

ah, that is okay Dr_God, I would imagine if it were a 200+ grid you would have received all kinds of e-mails. :)

12:16 pm

everyone angsts cos they are used to talking to you through the link at the bottom of the page, which of course vanishes!

12:16 pm

Hi Ata

12:19 pm

mom has a doctors appointment so I will take my leave now. See you all soon. {{Hugs}} Thanks Dr_God.

12:26 pm

Evening Ata

12:29 pm

12:29 pm

TTFN

12:31 pm

12:35 pm

a5,6,4,4,4,4

12:36 pm

many thanks, mixi! Looks like I need a 4. Cheers

12:36 pm

Hello! I alerted Dr-God - has he set me down in junk mail? I'm going to sulk....

12:41 pm

poooor haz

12:43 pm

hi all is there a clue for the lone E word?

12:44 pm

e + HALT!

12:44 pm

e+halt

12:45 pm

ahh ty knidly

12:45 pm

Lunch is over, so gotta scoot. **poof**

12:45 pm

kindly even!

12:45 pm

hi all, got about 10 minutes time before I have to run... almost enough for this mini babble!

12:50 pm

Hello, sprite. It won't take you that long.

12:51 pm

hi Haz, just read you were in a sulk... better now?

12:51 pm

I suppose so.

12:52 pm

It looks as though I might have sent it to the wrong e-mail address.

12:52 pm

pooooooor haz

12:52 pm

convincing :)

12:52 pm

So, maybe I shouldn't sulk. But I did try.

12:52 pm

trying counts.

12:53 pm

I'd like the oo4 word to be a verb. I could pt it.

12:53 pm

It is all probably my fault :(

12:53 pm

I assumed that he would have been overrun with e-mails and apologised if he had already been contacted by a cast of thousands.

12:54 pm

hi FM, of course. But we love you anyway.

12:54 pm

Is that a confession, FM?

12:54 pm

:)

12:54 pm

well I have to be off, only 6 left. Will get them later tonight. Have fun all.

12:54 pm

Hi FM,Haz,Sprite

12:54 pm

Bye sprite, enjoy your evening.

12:54 pm

Hello, robbie.

12:55 pm

hi and bye robbie

12:55 pm

See you later Sprite!

12:55 pm

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.

12:55 pm

I'm glad Babble is up and running again!

12:57 pm

Recognition of guilt is the first stage of something or other.

12:57 pm

yay! fireworks!

12:57 pm

Well done, robbie!

12:57 pm

ty Haz!

12:57 pm

Congrats robbie

1:15 pm

hi all - having trouble with two d words in the 4th column, the bottom d, for fireworks. Any clues please?

1:16 pm

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.

1:21 pm

I am here!

Hello rolotom. how are you doing?

1:22 pm

well, thanks

1:22 pm

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?

1:24 pm

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.

1:25 pm

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.

1:31 pm

Hi All..Happy St. Patrick's Da

2:12 pm

Ahhhhh. Babble.

2:19 pm

Wow today's grid went FAST! Mostly normal words. Thank goodness, because I couldn't get the website to open all morning.

2:20 pm

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).

2:23 pm

H'lo room...I am down to the first du4/7...has this been clued before?

2:25 pm

Hiya, Mandy. First du4/7 is common greeting for a guy, man, etc.

2:26 pm

Finito.

2:30 pm

Thank you! **Kicks the snake that just bit her** That makes fireworks...with a healthy dose of Lickety, of course!

2:33 pm

Good eeeevening :)

2:43 pm

And I've just got fireworks in ten mins after three glasses of fizzy Cava! Thanks, nancy.

2:44 pm

So now I'm off for another glass. Anyone need a clue before I go?

2:44 pm

takes a special kind of woman to babble tipsy ;) congrats, Hydra.

2:45 pm

I think it makes it easier cos you try bolder moves. (Like in the rest of life!)

2:45 pm

Now I really am going. See y'all.

2:45 pm

I'll drink to that ;)

2:46 pm

s'later!

Happy St. Patty's Day all

2:50 pm

Right back atcha, Barb.

2:50 pm

Happy St Patrick's Day to you, Barb!

down to 4 left

How is your rabbit Scrabbler?

2:51 pm

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

2:54 pm

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?

2:56 pm

This grid is constipated with consonants.

2:56 pm

yep, absolutely. For your last two, just double the end consonant of your last two

2:57 pm

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

2:57 pm

niiice. You're welcome!

worked perfectly...

2:57 pm

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

2:58 pm

three left here. Race ya!

you might just win

2:59 pm

You mean another supplier will ask for more money?

2:59 pm

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

3:01 pm

fireworks :D

i need at least 120 bales more to get me to may so we can go out on the pasture area

3:01 pm

Does this happen every spring?

knew you would beat me way to go NB

3:01 pm

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

3:03 pm

thank you ladies ;)

so need a clue for the g and the middle s...how about it nancy boy...a chance to clue again ;)

3:03 pm

I might not be able to control myself, Barb ;) lemme see..

3:03 pm

Yep, that is a big jump in cost.

>> waits with baited breath<<

3:05 pm

well, I don't quite know which ones you need, Barb *grins*

got the g one just the s to go

3:06 pm

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

3:07 pm

7 left for me

have that one

go scrabbler

3:07 pm

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

3:08 pm

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

3:10 pm

Fireworks! Not a bad grid.

>>needs to catch my breath<<<

3:10 pm

nothing to do for the rest of the evening, now! Congratulations, Barb ;)

3:10 pm

and to you, Scrabbler!

yeah scrabbler

3:10 pm

Then this is really special, Barb! In the beginning it feels great to get fireworks.

3:11 pm

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

3:11 pm

Everybody is Irish on March 17th.

Having an irish ale oh wait are you old enough for that there?

3:13 pm

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

3:14 pm

OK, off I go now. Enjoy the rest of the evening and be careful if you will drink.

3:14 pm

18 for everything here ;) drinking, smoking...everything. you underage, Barb?

Haven't been to London since 1980 a long time ago

3:14 pm

*must stop talking to people who have left*

Nope way way over 19

3:15 pm

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

3:17 pm

3:54 pm

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.

3:55 pm

tickymong ... hope I havent offended you, about the football thing!!!!

3:55 pm

Hi mo no not offended

3:56 pm

good.

3:57 pm

the Saints are Southampton .... am I right?

3:57 pm

Hi mo wife does not like football either but has learnt to put up with it

3:58 pm

yes right they are the Saints

3:58 pm

who ts your local team

3:58 pm

my hubby doesnt like it either.

4:00 pm

I come from Rotherham and other local teams are the Sheffield teams.

4:01 pm

I know the Rotherham ground was?is notorious for being on a slope!!!

4:03 pm

my late father and brother were great supporters..... well someone had to be!!!!

4:03 pm

no wonder u and your hubby dont like football

4:03 pm

lol!!!

4:06 pm

please convey my sympathies to your dear wife.

4:07 pm

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.

4:10 pm

hi omarr .... I think I will stay out of this one ..... being that I dont know what you mean. lol!! :-)

4:12 pm

tickymong mentioned it earlier... Portsmouth have been docked 9 points because the team went into administration

4:13 pm

must be off now ... goodnight all, and happy footballing!!!

4:13 pm

I mean if a club is doing very well financially, should they be awarded extra points? ;)

4:13 pm

night!

4:14 pm

lol,oh yes,euopean football...never knew it had caught on lol!:))))

4:14 pm

omarr ... I agree with you ..... they just want to get the underdogs out!

4:15 pm

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 :)

4:15 pm

indeed omarr even our little town has at least 15 soccor pitches

4:16 pm

tiptoing out .... goodnight all.

heck i wish i had gone out to celebrate tonight

6:39 pm

6:40 pm

I did get fireworks myself just now. When have I ever monkeyed so luckily? Must be the luck of the Irish.

6:40 pm

Well holy cow. 9 minutes to finish. And I am not all that spectacular at this game. Was that the easiest grid ever?

6:40 pm

whoo hoo stidmere

6:40 pm

whoo hoo wick

6:41 pm

and yes this is probably the easiest grid ever

6:41 pm

Well, if it wasn't the all-time easiest, it must have been a close second. Good for you wicks.

6:41 pm

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.

6:41 pm

Time to wander off. May your evenings been pleasant.

6:42 pm

have fun wick and stidmere

6:43 pm

TO did you get the last two F words?

bye dix

yes ty

6:46 pm

okie doke

time to go. happy babbling to all!

6:47 pm

bye TO

6:48 pm

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

6:49 pm

too bad dorens!

6:49 pm

I spent the day driving to Richmond and back to raise money with no success :-( times are still hard

6:49 pm

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

6:50 pm

wow that is scary

6:51 pm

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

6:51 pm

i agree dorens that just leads to spending more on health and the "justice" system

6:52 pm

my mother taught 46 (i think) years and my aunt 53 (I know) so I am a big supporter of schools

6:52 pm

and unemployment.... HS dropout rate will definitely rise without intervention at earlier ages

hello doren, sorry to hear

6:53 pm

fireworks

6:53 pm

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

6:53 pm

TO did you get fireworks before you left?

6:54 pm

fw here too... maybe the alltime fastest grid ever?

yes ty, je

doren do yo have power?

6:56 pm

whoo hooo dorens

6:56 pm

i do! hip hip hooray

howdy babble buds. i've missed chat w/y'all

6:56 pm

(sorry the silly alarm people for my neighbors just called me)

6:57 pm

hi ad

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO DORENS!! WTG!! YAY FOR YOU! SPEECH SPEECH *band starts playing the victory song*

6:57 pm

okay i am going for a walk and maybe get some supper

6:57 pm

c u you tomorrow

6:58 pm

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

6:58 pm

*giggle* great speech dorens

6:58 pm

and ken for having such a nice home for me to stay in while mine had no power

6:58 pm

friad it may be a bit lonely tonight ad

lol dorens

6:59 pm

*poof*

we keep getting power "poofs"

6:59 pm

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!

7:00 pm

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

7:00 pm

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

7:00 pm

good evening folks, and hi doren - I was thinking about you - how are you surviving this hurricane?

7:01 pm

Hal-low everyone!

7:01 pm

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

7:01 pm

perth amboy was bad, yes?

7:01 pm

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

7:02 pm

oh that sounds horrible

7:02 pm

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

7:03 pm

we lost a few roof tiles, no big problem, no flooding, so all in all, we were lucky

not a hurricane, just hurricane winds

7:03 pm

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

7:03 pm

where in CT are you?

7:04 pm

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)

7:05 pm

indeed... RIF letters went out today to all nontenured teachers... 5% of our budget means jobs for sure.. just hoping not guidance!

7:05 pm

my friend in Stamford did have lots of trees down and some damage to garage

7:05 pm

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

7:06 pm

Hi all, I am missing my babble tonight - finished too quickly this morning. How is everyone?

7:06 pm

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

7:06 pm

hi mom, do you always need help?

7:07 pm

that is very drastic doren - sorry to hear it - Let's hope it doesn't get to that point

7:07 pm

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

7:08 pm

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.

7:08 pm

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

7:08 pm

7:13 pm

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

7:14 pm

Must be alot of partiers tonight or most people finished early as very few chatters on tonight - not the usual fare!

7:17 pm

Fireworks!

7:17 pm

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*

7:18 pm

gotta run...

i play around with the age... actually my birthday is march 23rd and it's a milestone birthday

7:18 pm

Good night mpittore

7:18 pm

would love clue for the 7 please.

7:19 pm

hi gang. small grid! is there a list?

7:19 pm

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

7:20 pm

I LOVE SMALL GRIDS.

7:20 pm

de7/36 de+ what you find on a dalmatian

a tyrant

7:21 pm

ty got it and the six.

7:21 pm

I hit one milestone a couple of years ago and hope for another

which one mom?

sry i realize that was a rude question

7:22 pm

hit the 50 and hopefully working to the 60

7:23 pm

I'm proud to have made it this far as a baby boomer

ahhhh. i'm hitting the 60 next week

7:23 pm

Wow that is great

7:23 pm

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

7:24 pm

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

7:25 pm

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)

7:26 pm

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

7:26 pm

where are you

lol mom

connecticut

7:27 pm

yes I new that - forgot already - thats what happens after 50 - lucky you - only a couple hours from me

really? where are you????

7:28 pm

New Hampshire - we had our storm blast a couple of weeks ago

7:28 pm

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

7:29 pm

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.

7:30 pm

I finished it in 15 minutes - no chatting while playing - couldnt believe how easy - never even asked for a clue - a first for me

7:30 pm

9:25 pm

evening, mrs t

9:26 pm

evening, dc

9:26 pm

i made it to halfway but not nbt yet

9:27 pm

weird, i said hi to you both and it didn't register that message!

9:27 pm

the server was down earlier today, and the chat's been a bit slow/weird for a couple weeks

9:27 pm

i'm guessing he bounced the server

9:28 pm

okay then...

9:28 pm

this is surprisingly hard for me today

9:28 pm

but then i may just be tired from so much work

9:29 pm

yes, this is a good example of a small, challenging grid

9:29 pm

the few vowels in this case makes it harder

9:29 pm

i would say so!

9:30 pm

3 left....

9:30 pm

the Fs are easy

9:31 pm

as are the Rs

9:31 pm

uh, i could use some help with the 2 longer f's if you're willing....

9:32 pm

double the consonant in the 4.7 then plural

9:33 pm

down to 4 now that i found the GR words

9:33 pm

Thanks!

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

10:00 pm

YAY pippin!

10:01 pm

the time on the chog is seriously wrong...

10:01 pm

oh! no it's not, I am just totally confused! LOL

10:02 pm

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!

10:03 pm

I am going to head out -- too big a lag. (((hugs all))) will be on tomorrow evening, at some point. *poof*

This is a quck and fun grid.

11:17 pm

Hi Nef :)

11:18 pm

I just posted my new icon for wine bottles

11:18 pm

Hi jilli. And Happy St. Patricks day to you! :)

11:18 pm

Not bad Nef .. Flagging .. Going to bed soon ..

11:18 pm

I know. I just tried to see you green icon

11:19 pm

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)

11:19 pm

Same here tor; but I have 10 left and I'll finish first (I hope)

11:20 pm

I can clue if you need any, Nef -- finished last night

11:21 pm

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.

11:23 pm

I do have a great-great grandmother who came from Ireland but she was Anglo-Irish.

11:23 pm

Thanks jilli, if I'm not done in 15-20 minutes, I'll ask (if you're still around)

11:24 pm

I plan to be around -- just waiting for the flip, watching TV (MSNBC)

11:26 pm

Okay. I have 6 left, though, so I *think* I'm okay!

11:26 pm

what's tomorrow's theme?

11:27 pm

wine bottles, harp -- you can nearly always click on my icon to find out

11:28 pm

Hi harp. How are you tonight>?

11:30 pm

interesting, jilli, a customer just asked yesteray about ice wine

11:31 pm

that's handy, pip -- does your place have any?

11:31 pm

no, but they were explaining what it was.. not much of a wine lover so i can't say i'm that intrigued

11:33 pm

I have a tiny sample bottle and just had a little taste -- I like it as a dessert addition, unfortunately ($$$)

11:34 pm

1 left

11:34 pm

gogogo nef!!!

11:36 pm

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

Thanks, jilli; it was the first thing you clued

11:38 pm

11:40 pm

Thanks, jilli. I had a clinic today and was at work by 6AM; sure am tired all of a sudden

11:41 pm

not surprising, when you were up so early!

11:42 pm

I need some sleep. Than you for your help, jilli. I'm off to bed.

11:42 pm

Pleasant dreams, sweet repose, nef.

11:43 pm

Same to you, jilli! Good night! <Poof>
