Clues are up
1:01 am
flosey
ah, thanks Lickety
1:02 am
Kamanjah
Thanks Lickety! Remember, some of us in the US had a time change "spring forward" on Sunday. Thanks for doing the clues for us!!!!
1:03 am
flosey
and in Canada too Kam
1:04 am
Kamanjah
Oh, you get stuck with that too? I hate it! Just leave time to flow along on its own, I say! Forced jet lag twice a year!
1:04 am
Kamanjah
Oh, you get stuck with that too? I hate it! Just leave time to flow along on its own, I say! Forced jet lag twice a year!
1:07 am
Kamanjah
Wow, this is a tough grid for me!
1:08 am
Lizlin
I think it's tough for everyone, Kam. Now I've had a break I'll see if I can find a few more words!
1:09 am
Lizlin
The clock change will only get worse - parts of Australia put clocks back in a few weeks - not sure when because we don't change our clocks where I live.
1:10 am
Kamanjah
You're lucky, Liz - I'm feeling really jet-lagged today - the time changes always throw me out of whack for several days. I think only Arizona (in the US) doesn't do the time change.
1:12 am
Lizlin
But it's really silly because the local airport here is in Queensland and it's the local airport for those in Northern New South Wales too - they change their clocks but the airport works on QLD time!
1:13 am
Lizlin
Actually I'd love the clocks to change - I hate that the latest it gets dark here in the summer is 7 pm.
1:14 am
Kamanjah
That must be really confusing for people traveling!
I can see why you'd like the change - I hate our "standard" time because it gets dark so early. In the summer, it's light out until 9PM or so for a few months. So nice, but makes for very late suppers because we're always outdoors!
1:14 am
rururocks
I will second the minute changes
1:15 am
Lizlin
I loved that in London - the long summer evenings, not getting dark until 10 ish but equally hated the 3.30 dark in winter and the dark mornings, so you can't really win.
1:15 am
Lizlin
Is that a groan, Ru???
1:16 am
rururocks
I could use one,😉
1:17 am
Lizlin
OK - that's a groan. Are you counting this year?
1:17 am
Lizlin
And the current score is ...?
1:17 am
Lizlin
Just looked - 9!
1:18 am
Kamanjah
Haven't seen a Ru groan in awhile - Ru, your count is only 9?
1:18 am
Lizlin
Are you prepared for your move?
1:18 am
rururocks
Kind of striking out this year
1:18 am
rururocks
Not for a lack of trying
1:19 am
Lizlin
I guess I haven't seen you online much this year.
1:19 am
rururocks
Sort of. Been moving stuff every day
1:19 am
Lizlin
Exciting for you. How's Dylan coping with all the upheaval?
1:20 am
rururocks
He is really watching me closely. He knows something is up
1:20 am
Lizlin
Does he have a good outside area at your new place?
1:21 am
Lizlin
Dogs are so astute.
1:21 am
rururocks
Yes a big yard
1:21 am
Lizlin
He'll be very happy, very quickly then.
1:23 am
Kamanjah
Yes, Liz, they are. Glad your guy will have a good yard, Ru. My dog is a Springer Spaniel, and he thinks it's his job to flush every bird out of every bush on our acre when he goes out for a run! He's so funny!
1:23 am
rururocks
I love the house.
1:23 am
Lizlin
Taking a long break from this with 20 left. If I don't see you tomorrow, Ru, I really hope your move goes well. Really happy you love the house.
1:23 am
rururocks
Thanks liz
1:24 am
Kamanjah
I'm glad you finally found a place you love, Ru. You are in a very nice area. Are you staying in Napa or ...?
1:24 am
rururocks
I better head to bed myself. I have to get up really early
1:25 am
Lizlin
Love Springers, Kam - my brother has one - he did have 2 for many years. Great dogs. Sleep well and catch you both soon.
1:25 am
rururocks
Yes north napa kama
1:25 am
Kamanjah
Nite Liz, or have a good day... :)
1:25 am
Lizlin
4.25 pm here.
1:26 am
Kamanjah
11:25 here, need sleep early tonight, got up far too early today. Have a lovely evening!
1:27 am
Kamanjah
Ru, hubby's Dad is in Sonoma, and his sister, son, grandkids and nephews are all in Santa Rosa, so we do 12 from the foothills often. I wish they'd hurry up and fix that road!
4:21 am
grannyrose
hello, hello
4:21 am
grannyrose
what on earth has happened to the chat? is everyone disorientated because of time change?
4:49 am
rubyfoo
good morning, if anybody is here.
4:49 am
grannyrose
HELLOOOOO!
4:49 am
rubyfoo
time won't change here for another week. How stupid is that?
4:49 am
rubyfoo
((rosie))
4:49 am
grannyrose
whoot!! ruby..{{hugs}} my darling. is all well with you? how goes the treatment?
4:50 am
rubyfoo
I've had almost a week without the constant pain and am very happy!
4:50 am
rubyfoo
I'm still taking morph, because, even with it, I had a constant 4.
4:51 am
grannyrose
what a blessing dear firend. and an answer to prayers. may it continue, sweetie.
4:51 am
rubyfoo
If I conyinue like this, I'll start tapering off.
4:52 am
rubyfoo
I think that my friends' prayers, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim and Jewish, made the raadiation wwork.
4:53 am
grannyrose
honey, we all pray to the same God. He HAS to hear our pleas.
4:53 am
rubyfoo
And spring may actually be arriving except the nights are still freezing. I was even able to do a little (very littlee) gardeing yesterday
4:54 am
rubyfoo
How are you doing, Rose? Will your pain eventually resolv itself or is it a "forever" condittion?
4:54 am
grannyrose
every little helps us to appreciate our life. good for you, ruby!!
4:54 am
rubyfoo
My tumors will never go away, but if they don't grow, I should last a while
4:55 am
rubyfoo
Maybe I'll ven complete a grid one day LOL
4:56 am
grannyrose
the nerve pain in the knee is a forever, even with neurostimulator implants. take them out and i will be back to square one. the FM pain is finally under control. the hip pain is waiting for further treatment subject to workcover's approval.
4:56 am
rubyfoo
Lately, these grid have been terrible! I could use a couple of r's!!! NOT
4:57 am
grannyrose
lollll...yeah .... a common complaint just after the flip. i have never seen so many r's in one grid.
4:57 am
rubyfoo
wwow, my poor rosie. My typing is stuttering because my fingers are so cold!
4:58 am
grannyrose
honey...none of my issues are life-threatening like yours. your are paramount in my thoughts sweetie.
4:59 am
grannyrose
don and i pray for you every night.
5:12 am

Good morning all.
5:12 am

Thankk you and Don for that, Rosie!!
5:12 am
rubyfoo
Hello Sukee.
5:13 am
sukee
Sorry you are still cold. It is very rainy here, mild, windy and they are predicting a thunder storm.
5:14 am
rubyfoo
The wheels are coming off around here! My little car, only 2 years old, has died in the driveway and it,s not the battery. And now my beloved Rufie is limping. It just started this morning, but he hasn,t been in the car since he arrived here at 3 months and I can,t imagine how we'll take him to the vet.
5:16 am
rubyfoo
This is a perfeect grid to say AAAARRRRRGH!
5:17 am
sukee
Yes, I can see that :)
5:19 am
Scrabbler
Finally a grid over 100 words.
5:19 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no, ruby!
5:24 am

cooee sukee and scrabs
5:26 am

Hi rose and sukee. The R's ar emaking me dizzy.
5:26 am

Yes... too many

5:30 am

gm, everyone! tadone! that was a nice brain tickler
5:30 am

Not halfway yet, may have to list early.
5:30 am
grannyrose
any clues needed??
5:30 am
Scrabbler
Hi dawg. That's why we do Babble,to fend off dementia, right?
5:30 am
grannyrose
WTG LBDAWGER !!!!
5:31 am
Scrabbler
No, thanks, rose. I am just underway.
5:31 am
lbdawger
HIya scrabs, rose, sukee, ruby, lurkers
5:31 am
sukee
Me too, I'll work on it a bit first.
5:31 am
sukee
Made it halfway :)
5:32 am
grannyrose
sukee you are not alone in the listing early. this grid has teeth.
5:33 am
Scrabbler
I was awake much of the night with a migraine.:-(
5:33 am
sukee
Sorry to hear that.
5:33 am
grannyrose
oh scrabs... *gentle hugs* my darling. you poor thing.
5:33 am
lbdawger
poor scrabs. are you feeling better?
5:34 am
Scrabbler
I work the morning and evening shifts so I can rest during the afternoon, although I will have charts to work on. The pain has lessened, but I am tired and foggy.
5:34 am
sukee
When I get one (and mine are very minor and rare) I feel hung over the next day.
5:34 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I feel dopey for several hours.
5:35 am
rubyfoo
Back. Rufie let me examine his paw and leg and it's definitely his paw. It's sore but there's no blood. He may have picked up a thorn in the garden.
5:35 am
grannyrose
scrabs...do you take 3 aspirin before your pain drugs?
5:35 am
lbdawger
do you know what triggers your migraines?
5:35 am
Scrabbler
I get one weekly and am on a preventive med--topiramate.
5:35 am
rubyfoo
((scrabs))
5:36 am
Scrabbler
Ruby, will you just watch him for now or must you bring him to the vet?
5:36 am
grannyrose
still scrabs...i would be looking at taking 3 aspirin first
5:36 am
rubyfoo
When I was Young and on birth-control pills and got migraines, the only treaatment was ergot.
5:37 am
Scrabbler
Dawg, weather is a common trigger--incoming rain storms, so spring and summer are bad for me. Taking naproxen at the onset usually aborts an episode, but not always.
5:37 am
grannyrose
poor rufie... a vet visit in the offing i think.
5:37 am
rubyfoo
I'm just going to Watch him. The housekeeper and I tried to bathe the foot, but we got wetter than he did as he's very heavy andd stubborn.
5:38 am
rubyfoo
35 reluctant kilos is hard to ge into the car
5:38 am
grannyrose
scrabs....please consider the 3 aspirin route.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
He is such aa lovely, sweet dog, but his "piggie" is very sore and he even let out a yelp
5:39 am
Scrabbler
Rose, naproxen is a NSAID like aspirin, and it usually knocks out a migraine for me.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
does caffeine help you, Scrabs?
5:39 am
Scrabbler
Yes, ruby, not like a 2 kg rabbit.
5:39 am
rubyfoo
ya think?
5:40 am
grannyrose
scrabs...naproxyn indicates your migraine stimulus is an inflammatory trigger.
5:40 am
Scrabbler
I am drinking coffee now and I stopped coffee last fall.
5:40 am
rubyfoo
If his legs were longers, he'd be much bigger than I
5:41 am
Scrabbler
My friend's son is 6 foot 7 inches, 300 lbs,and has a Mastiff which is nearly as big. They are an amazing sight together.
5:42 am
grannyrose
i need to fall into my bed. xoxox to you all.
5:42 am
sukee
Take care Rose.
5:42 am
Scrabbler
Sleep well, rose.

I saw the book of Mormon last night - it was absolutely hilarious
5:57 am

5:57 am

5:57 am
Scrabbler
