2:30 am

FMitch

2:30 am

gremlinn

3:16 am

rubyfoo

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby and Sally

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

Hi FM. Thought tea was your thing?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

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

FMitch

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

3:26 am

FMitch

I foresee another fireworks day for ruby (fingers crossed)

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

Well I only have two from that top R. Perhaps you could put the third one in accidentally!

3:26 am

rubyfoo

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

3:27 am

rubyfoo

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

3:27 am

FMitch

will be happy to do so later ruby as I haven't started yet, busy getting other things done this morning.

3:28 am

Sally-catlover

Well, what do you know. Tried a non-word and it worked.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

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

3:28 am

FMitch

Sally, really enjoyed looking at your website the other day, that is some house you have there.

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

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

FMitch

a dream abode :)

3:32 am

FMitch

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.

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

Not bad for the site of the brickyard spoil, eh!

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

Have fun FM.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

how early can lilacs be planted, do you know? Does frost have to be totally over?

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

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

FMitch

Try google *poof*

3:36 am

rubyfoo

see you later

3:36 am

rubyfoo

((sally))

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

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.

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

4:52 am

herinfernallady

hi

4:56 am

rubyfoo

hi lady, back for a little while

4:56 am

rubyfoo

I still have 17 words left, not so quick and easy for me!

4:57 am

herinfernallady

I just started. Doing a cryptic crossword and eating dinner at the same time

4:58 am

rubyfoo

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

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Some are very very hard and If i can't get 1 clue I don't bother

5:00 am

rubyfoo

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

5:01 am

herinfernallady

I don't have time these days to worry about stats

5:02 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could say I was that busy. Just have endless paperwork hanging over my head....

5:03 am

herinfernallady

I am so tired at the moment. too much coffee

5:04 am

rubyfoo

how much sleep do you get?

5:05 am

herinfernallady

not enough

5:06 am

herinfernallady

These next two weeks is going to busy

5:06 am

rubyfoo

that's always a problem

5:06 am

herinfernallady

I do put a limit though on work

5:08 am

rubyfoo

did you get the 7?

5:09 am

rubyfoo

all I'm good at are the phantom words!

5:09 am

FMitch

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

5:09 am

herinfernallady

No.

5:09 am

rubyfoo

very good

5:09 am

rubyfoo

fm, do you have the 7?

5:09 am

herinfernallady

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

5:10 am

rubyfoo

or many warm coats?

5:10 am

rubyfoo

or singing pets?

5:10 am

FMitch

and got 2 packs of seeds free

LOL herin yes i think you are right :) me and my toypos!

5:10 am

FMitch

still not started the grid ruby

5:11 am

rubyfoo

what discipline!

5:11 am

FMitch

gah I can't even spell tyoo correctly!

5:11 am

herinfernallady

Isn't that what Ata spends when she gets furniture?

5:12 am

herinfernallady

arr stupid cryptic crosswords and their American clues

5:12 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was a special mixed breed of dog!

5:12 am

FMitch

you are on a roll herin!

5:12 am

rubyfoo

I thought cryptics only had British clues

5:13 am

rubyfoo

I want to make sedge and fudge and suggest

5:14 am

FMitch

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

rubyfoo

then I'll see you after lunch (out, thank God)

5:16 am

herinfernallady

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

rubyfoo

hahah, herin

5:16 am

rubyfoo

moraine? maine?

5:17 am

herinfernallady

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

5:17 am

rubyfoo

marion?

5:18 am

rubyfoo

loraine?

5:18 am

herinfernallady

I looked it up. It is Moraine.

5:18 am

rubyfoo

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

5:19 am

rubyfoo

I don't think you had glaciers in Australia...

5:19 am

herinfernallady

I knew that Moraine was the glacial leftover but I had no idea that it was a town

5:19 am

rubyfoo

nor did I

5:19 am

rubyfoo

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

5:20 am

Haz1558

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

5:20 am

herinfernallady

See my silly factor. O

5:20 am

rubyfoo

hello haz

5:20 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

5:20 am

rubyfoo

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

5:20 am

herinfernallady

Hi Haz. No Moraine is a city in Ohio.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

glaciers in the UK?

5:21 am

Haz1558

Look at the clue. Residue left by a glacier or in a state in America.

5:21 am

herinfernallady

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

rubyfoo

true true

5:22 am

FMitch

Morning Haz and the glittery one :)

5:22 am

Haz1558

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

Haz1558

Good morning FM.

5:22 am

rubyfoo

but who would want to go there?

5:22 am

FMitch

Hope your day is a sunny one?

5:23 am

herinfernallady

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

5:23 am

Haz1558

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

5:23 am

rubyfoo

have you ever tried to produce a crossword puzzle?

5:23 am

Haz1558

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

5:23 am

FMitch

Im sure Ata could comment on the glacial aspects.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

maybe if you're looking for fossils

5:24 am

rubyfoo

believe it or not, we need rain!

5:24 am

FMitch

cait was saying the same thing ruby, they are very dry in Wales right now.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I think these cryptic people are just a little not right

5:25 am

rubyfoo

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

5:25 am

FMitch

Bye ruby have a nice lunch.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

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

5:26 am

Haz1558

Bye for now, ruby.

5:26 am

FMitch

lol

5:26 am

rubyfoo

I think you're right about that, herin

5:26 am

rubyfoo

5:26 am

herinfernallady

Bye Ruby

5:28 am

Haz1558

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

Haz1558

5:28 am

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

Mom

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

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

12:52 pm

Haz1558

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

12:52 pm

sprite

trying counts.

12:53 pm

sprite

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

12:53 pm

FMitch

It is all probably my fault :(

12:53 pm

Haz1558

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

sprite

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

12:54 pm

Haz1558

Is that a confession, FM?

1:23 pm

guernseygirl

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

rolotom

Yes, you get fireworks only if you are a paying member

1:24 pm

guernseygirl

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

rolotom

Be proud -- it is awesome!

1:26 pm

guernseygirl

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.

Barb's Horses

glad to hear it

2:53 pm

Barb's Horses

2:55 pm

Barb's Horses

2:56 pm

Scrabbler

This grid is constipated with consonants.

2:56 pm

Nancy Boy

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

2:57 pm

Nancy Boy

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#

2:57 pm

Barb's Horses

got them thank you Nancy boy

2:57 pm

Nancy Boy

niiice. You're welcome!

2:57 pm

Barb's Horses

2:57 pm

Scrabbler

I understood that, NB

2:58 pm

Barb's Horses

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

2:58 pm

Barb's Horses

2:58 pm

Barb's Horses

2:59 pm

Scrabbler

You mean another supplier will ask for more money?

2:59 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm pretty slow, Barb ;)

2:59 pm

Barb's Horses

yup...all our local hay has been bought up...so now who ever has some can charge what they want

3:00 pm

Barb's Horses

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

Nancy Boy

fireworks :D

3:01 pm

Barb's Horses

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

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

Does this happen every spring?

3:01 pm

Barb's Horses

knew you would beat me way to go NB

3:01 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee NB!

3:02 pm

Barb's Horses

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

3:02 pm

Barb's Horses

it just hurts when you have to jump from 550 to 1050 per bale is all

3:03 pm

Nancy Boy

thank you ladies ;)

3:03 pm

Barb's Horses

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

3:03 pm

Nancy Boy

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

3:03 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, that is a big jump in cost.

3:04 pm

Barb's Horses

>> waits with baited breath<<

3:05 pm

Nancy Boy

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

3:05 pm

Barb's Horses

got the g one just the s to go

3:06 pm

Nancy Boy

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

3:06 pm

Barb's Horses

Ive got s 4/5 5/12 4/4 5/12 4/5 5/12

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

mo

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

3:55 pm

tickymong

Hi mo no not offended

3:56 pm

mo

good.

3:57 pm

mo

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

tickymong

yes right they are the Saints

3:58 pm

tickymong

3:58 pm

mo

my hubby doesnt like it either.

4:00 pm

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

4:01 pm

mo

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

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

mo

lol!!!

4:06 pm

mo

please convey my sympathies to your dear wife.

4:07 pm

omarr

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

mo

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

4:12 pm

omarr

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

4:13 pm

mo

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

4:13 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

jmcnrick

too bad dorens!

6:49 pm

jmcnrick

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

6:49 pm

Dorens

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

jmcnrick

wow that is scary

6:51 pm

Dorens

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

jmcnrick

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

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

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

6:52 pm

Dorens

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

6:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello doren, sorry to hear

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

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

Dorens

7:00 pm

ADHDWordLover

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

7:00 pm

ADHDWordLover

we've got a generator

7:00 pm

Dorens

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

JBV

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

7:01 pm

MPittore

Hal-low everyone!

7:01 pm

Dorens

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

Dorens

perth amboy was bad, yes?

7:01 pm

JBV

oh 3 days without power? terrible - we only had an outage for about 12 hours - 4pm Sat to 4am Sun.

7:01 pm

ADHDWordLover

my friend buried her mom on saturday and they had to have guys hold the casket down at gravesite

7:02 pm

Dorens

oh that sounds horrible

7:02 pm

JBV

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!

7:02 pm

ADHDWordLover

winds so bad. people died here. (closer to NYC made the news

7:03 pm

JBV

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

7:03 pm

ADHDWordLover

not a hurricane, just hurricane winds

7:03 pm

Dorens

yes, very bad storm indeed. Joanne, I thought you worked in Perth Amboy though... were schools closed?

7:03 pm

ADHDWordLover

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

Dorens

where in CT are you?

7:04 pm

JBV

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

7:04 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm in Bridgewater; southwest got the bad damage

7:05 pm

ADHDWordLover

i'm in litchfield county (west)

7:05 pm

Dorens

7:05 pm

Dorens

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

7:05 pm

JBV

7:05 pm

ADHDWordLover

7:06 pm

Riverdance

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

7:06 pm

Dorens

it's on the chopping block, but fairly far down... they may do away with counseling in the district altogether... pretty sad

7:06 pm

ADHDWordLover

pretty easy grid... i don't like them this short

7:06 pm

Dorens

hi mom, do you always need help?

7:07 pm

JBV

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

7:07 pm

Riverdance

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

Dorens

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

Dorens

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

JBV

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who are celebrating!

7:09 pm

Riverdance

7:10 pm

Riverdance

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

7:23 pm

ADHDWordLover

7:23 pm

Riverdance

Wow that is great

7:23 pm

Riverdance

I had my kids later in life so still have teenagers - dont know if I will make it to 60

7:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

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

Riverdance

Lucky you - my friends from high school have grandkids my kids ages - yikes!!!

7:24 pm

ADHDWordLover

but i've been 100 percent gray/white for years (my dad was white at 35). so gray-be-gone is my friend

7:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

there's pros and cons to having them young OR older

7:25 pm

Riverdance

You know there is this great salon I can introduce you to - takes care of my gray/white issues

7:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

i usually pass for 40, and is this town, women are having babies in their forties (lots of career women here)

7:26 pm

Riverdance

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

7:26 pm

ADHDWordLover

so it's only natural that they'd think the kids are mine

7:26 pm

7:29 pm

ADHDWordLover

9:27 pm

dcseain

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

9:27 pm

dcseain

i'm guessing he bounced the server

9:28 pm

pippingeek

okay then...

9:28 pm

pippingeek

this is surprisingly hard for me today

9:28 pm

pippingeek

but then i may just be tired from so much work

9:29 pm

dcseain

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

9:29 pm

dcseain

the few vowels in this case makes it harder

9:29 pm

pippingeek

i would say so!

9:30 pm

Mrs.T.

3 left....

9:30 pm

dcseain

the Fs are easy

9:31 pm

9:32 pm

dcseain

double the consonant in the 4.7 then plural

9:33 pm

dcseain

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

11:20 pm

jillibus

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

11:21 pm

Nef

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

jillibus

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

11:23 pm

Nef

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

11:31 pm

pippingeek

11:59 pm

jillibus

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
