And, they really are great kids. Makes me reminisce of when my boys were little :)

11:04 am

LisaG

Well littler~

11:04 am

MollyL

Wow Lisa, I bet they don't get many offers to babysit 4 kids those ages.

11:05 am

LisaG

They do not. I have kept them two times before, but never for the weekend. One time they got tix given to them for a concert and were going to forfeit them~so I took the kids for them.

11:05 am

MollyL

I'm surprised 8 and 7 still take naps.

11:06 am

LisaG

Well...normally they don't but they were up late at my sons last football game with me last night and didnt get to bed until almost 11:30!! Then were up at 6:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed!

11:07 am

LisaG

About 45 mins ago I saw the older two starting to wind down, so I told them after lunch they were gonna take a nap just so noone gets cranky :)

11:08 am

LisaG

At first they didnt want to, but when I snuggled them in, 5 mins later, both girls were out.

About done for my grid. Not finished, done. Gray upon gray here. The tiny bit of yellow from trees across the way is so muted as to be almost useless. Oh well. Day going well. Murphy (the dog) is asleep, husband is doing boat things, I am ready to look at catalogues.

4:13 pm

stidgmere

ty Soodle. I was going through my computer files today and happened upon my notes from Ireland. What a lovely place to have in memory.

4:15 pm

Soodle

Molly to the rescue! Thanks Molls. And Yay, Mere.....I am so glad you have positive memories of here

4:16 pm

stidgmere

Wish we could have had the opportunity to visit your village Soodle. Nothing improves a place like a BabbleFest.

4:17 pm

Soodle

Mere, the Irish Tourist Board have come up with a gimmick they are calling 'The Gathering@

4:19 pm

stidgmere

Ours is no gimmick. We really do Babble and the Fest is the part where we eat and talk some more.

4:21 pm

Soodle

In short, the population of the country are being encouraged to enveigle people to visit Ireland in 2013. I am patrioticly (sp?) encouraging any and all Babblers to visit Ireland in 2013.

4:22 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Your patriotismmm is way ahead of the rest, I would say. 2013 has a bunch of days. Which sunny days should Babblers plan to be in Ireland.

4:22 pm

I'll keep Ireland in mind for 2013. Meanwhile, I'm wandering off. Best wishes to all Babblers throughout the world.

4:28 pm

If any Babbler is going planning a trip to Ireland in 2013, I promise I will arrange a meet up!. And I will take photos. And guarantee a good night out.!

4:28 pm

Best of luck to your boy in the quarter finals. Glad you're feeling a bit better. Try not to over do it. Coming back from that kind of injury needs to be done in "do-able" doses.

Shaved legs, mini skirts in the cold weather, taking extra time to do your make-up...kind of makes you appreciate the other side of the gender fence.

Teachers rock. I'm on the board of my HS' alumni association, and this year we had 1500 alums from across all 26 years of graduates nominate 135 teachers and administrators for our hall of fame. Teachers make a bigger difference than most i think realize.

I think as ready as can be - checked the gutters today, bought some bags of ice. We have a chest freezer that did well with 2+ days of power loss during the derecho

9:43 pm

Minveryork

Hello BabbleRabble!How are you doing?Welcome to puzzle

9:44 pm

dcseain

a full freezer will keep up to a week usually, and stuff in center/bottom longer.

9:44 pm

dcseain

ty, BR -- got it.

9:44 pm

dan2bit

plus, among my family in the area we're on 3 different power grids with 2 different utilities, and my dad has a generator, so we can (& have) bunked up before

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

There are 4 fr words dc

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

3 4's and one 5

9:45 pm

yep :) Down to the 3Cs now, which is what i figured would be the last ones for me :)

9:46 pm

dan2bit

cars are gassed up, everything in the garage off the deck & porch & we have extra cash, so nothing to do now but wait

9:46 pm

dcseain

monkeys got me 8 of the 11 i have -- good night for monkeying.

9:46 pm

MollyL

Um, check that full freezer for a week thing Seain. Most of what I have read say it's a bit shorter than that.

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

That it is dc..

9:47 pm

dcseain

This is based on what i and people i know have found -- most of us have gas cooktops so can work through the stuff.

9:48 pm

BabbleRabble

7 ca; 4 ch; 3 cr

9:48 pm

Jillyjill

I know...that is why I love gas stoves and so glad we had ours put in a few years back. Plus so much better to cook with ...

9:49 pm

dan2bit

thing we miss most in an outage is hot showers - the downside of a tankless water heater

9:49 pm

Jillyjill

Good point dan2...we have one of those too.

9:49 pm

dan2bit

the up side is never running out of hot when the power's on, though :-)

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

But we only rarely lose power here for very long.

9:50 pm

Jillyjill

Plus we are on a well, with an electric water pump...

9:50 pm

MollyL

I agree 2Bit. A hot shower is the last thing I do before I think the power might go out and the first thing I do when it comes back on (after the water heater has rejuvenated itself)

9:51 pm

I have found ea4/6 and every word in the grid and have accomplished the fe 4/7 of re 5/14ing finish line. Here is a story of clues. Tomorrow the ea4/4 coast will be hit with a storm that will do a va4/7 amount of damage. It will destroy many ac4/5 of land.The storm will ta4/4ish many buildings. The ar5/10 that will be hit will be from North Carolina all the way up to Maine.It will move at a pretty fa 4/7 pace as it ta4/4s up the coast. People are comparing this one to hurricane Irene, a storm from the pa 4/5. I fe 4/7 for people's sa4/7ty. I hope that all the people I ca 4/5 for will survive the storm. I hope it does not leave too much ca4/4age in its path.Utility workers will be ea4/4ing a lot of overtime.I believe that people will have to travel by ra 4/7 afterward. I was a ra 5/12 and ra 4/5d to the store to get some supplies. Wouldn't it be funny if this whole thing turned out to be a fa5/18 and nothing happened? Cr4/6! Hubby wants the laptop. Well I do not give one io 4/4, I am not getting off my re 4/4! I will be here off & on to clue for rest of the night.

Hello Lizlin!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

10:19 pm

Hi there. It's really frustrating finishing the grid early - I usually keep coming back to add a few more words! Well, the habit persists - just no more words to add!

10:20 pm

Lizlin

Love your icon Minveryork - so true but retiring from teaching's even better!!!!

10:22 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Lizlin. Retirement is a long way away for me. :(

10:23 pm

Lizlin

I took it earlier than I ever expected, to move to Australia.

10:25 pm

Lizlin

But teaching is a great profession - if only those in power would let teachers do what they know best how to do!

10:25 pm

blueskies29

Thanks minveryork

10:26 pm

Minveryork

I do the same thing to extend my babble time Lizlin. So If I have one left too early in the day,I will wait to enter it until later that night. Tonight, I did not get here until 10:00 so I did not wait to enter last word,but I should've

Was able to complete the grid in under an hour.Bored now

10:27 pm

Lizlin

For me, the grid changes at 3 pm - (unless that changes when / as the clocks change in the US), so it's some in the afternoon, some before bed and some the next day. I left 4 for this morning! Yes, bored now but thankfully time for lunch. Enjoy what's left of your evening.

10:28 pm

Goodbye Lizlin!I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log maybe
