3:11 am

grannyrose

3:11 am

grannyrose

at a slow stroll i can walk on and on.

3:12 am

grannyrose

how have you been, honey? busy, busy, busy?

3:12 am

sprite

sounds good to me, darling. Oh, and if you can walk in a leisurely manner, we will go visit 'my' woods. We can eat pancakes afterwards.

3:13 am

grannyrose

so looking forward to it. btw, did i tell you that my great-grandfather moved from antwerp to amsterdam?

3:14 am

sprite

no! Oh wow, that is interesting. Do you know the address? We could take you there.

3:15 am

grannyrose

i am bringing all the papers with me. there is a good chance some of his descendants may still be there.

3:15 am

sprite

that is awesome. Let me know the address beforehand, if you can. I can put Rob to fixing a visit and all.

3:16 am

grannyrose

oh okay. hang on.

3:20 am

Tim is trying to find a job, waiting for the results of a job interview, and he has a bit of a cold. Caya is doing great. And we managed to find her a therapist in Middelburg itself! Thanks to Hein and Brigitte, bless them.

3:22 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* Yeah, the miscreant seems to have left the building.

3:23 am

grannyrose

Terra is great. More beautiful than ever now that his eyes are fine. Happy little doggie. Right now with Rob, sleeping at canoe club and having a hearty breakfast with eggs and bacon.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

Yes. I wish I could just sleep the whole time

3:24 am

sprite

as for me... I am okay. A bit tired, rather restless sleeping. Doing a lot of crafting, which is fun to do and renders stuff I might be able to sell.

3:24 am

grannyrose

3:24 am

grannyrose

3:24 am

sprite

*grins* it happens

3:25 am

rubyfoo

Last night there was a hedgehog (I think) in the garden, in a tight littole ball, and Rufie was beside himself. I finally had to lock up both dogs and an hour later, I was gone

3:25 am

sprite

aww poor little thing, he must have been so scared.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

itw was gone, l was still here Have you ever seen one?.

3:28 am

sprite

oh yes. They are common here. They make an awful racket when they stroll through the garden.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

How big?

3:29 am

sprite

small. about the size of two cupped hands when balled up

3:30 am

rubyfoo

i had only seen pictures

3:31 am

sprite

it is sad, they are often on the roads, driven flat by cars.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

this one survived

3:32 am

sprite

yay for that

3:33 am

rubyfoo

RUFIE is very gentle and just barked to get my help

3:33 am

sprite

fireflies. Over too soon.

3:33 am

sprite

a big *hug* for the both of you. So looking forward to meeting Don and Rose, and seeing Ruby again.

3:34 am

grannyrose

3:38 am

This is the worst grid, ever, for me

4:20 am

MissOmnibus

4:25 am

MissOmnibus

4:35 am

jbp

congrats MissO

5:11 am

rbud

well, slap me with a wet noodle, I totally monkeyed the ni5/14 for the right column N using educated guessing... I swell with pride. :D

5:20 am

rubyfoo

Hello prideful rbud!

5:25 am

MollyL

Itty should be a word, because it describes Babble these days. : D

5:25 am

rbud

6:08 am

rubyfoo

Had a hedgehog in the garden last night. Rufie went ballistic but it was dark and I wasn't sure if I should touch it

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen pictures of them

6:09 am

rubyfoo

lett

6:09 am

rubyfoo

sorry

6:26 am

MollyL

What? The French didn't shoot all the hedgehogs and eat them too? : D

6:31 am

rubyfoo

"Picking the thorns out of their teeth"

6:32 am

sukee

Good morning... I hate the time change... :)

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sukee

6:32 am

sukee

Hi Ruby...ugh, a tiny grid today.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Time doesn't change here for a couple of weeks

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I was hoping for big one; I think we're due

6:33 am

sukee

I'll have to remember that when submitting my writing, have to get it in an hour earlier :)

6:34 am

sukee

Thankfully the cats don't know about the time change yet...

6:36 am

sukee

One of my favorite actors is in the grid.

6:40 am

sukee

nbt

6:50 am

MollyL

I love the time change. More light. : )

6:50 am

sukee

Yes, I do too, once I get over the change. I would be happy if they just left it now.

6:51 am

MollyL

Actually, the light changes whether we move the clocks or not. I think it would be a good idea to quit doing it too. It seems to make a lot of people grumpy.

6:52 am

sukee

The reasons for needing it a long past.

6:53 am

MollyL

The only good reason for still doing it here is kids at bus stops in the morning. However, if we didn't send our kids to school so damn early, that reason would be gone.

6:56 am

sukee

Down to 1... in 6

7:15 am

rubyfoo

Because I'm so far north, by June it's light 'til 11

7:17 am

rubyfoo

May I pls have stats for any 6?

7:18 am

MollyL

Wow, light until 11 PM? That would totally screw up 4th of July here.

7:19 am

rubyfoo

I love it but, of course, it's dark by 5 in Dec

7:22 am

MollyL

That dark at 5 thing really brings my spirits down.

7:24 am

rubyfoo

Yes, Nov and Dec are the worst for me

7:24 am

rubyfoo

Clues or stats for any 6, pls....

7:29 am

Alisonofwi

Alisonofwi

10:29 am

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

12:02 pm

harpjane

I had a 7:00 am gig and was scared all night that my phone alarm wasn't going to reset itself correctly. First world problems.

12:02 pm

Minveryork

I have a battery operated alarm clock. It is pretty reliable.

12:03 pm

MollyL

I never get that whole "lost an hour of sleep" thing. Why not just go to bed an hour earlier?

12:09 pm

rururocks

I was just trying to rope in the conversation m9

12:09 pm

m9f9l

Ugh. We had enough snow for the next couple years. Don't want to see any more for a while!

12:09 pm

12:11 pm

Minveryork

The snow is supposed to start Monday and go into Tuesday

12:12 pm

Minveryork

Hoping for a "snow day" Tuesday & a delay on Wednesday.

12:12 pm

rururocks

Minveryork (the only east coast person praying for snow)

12:12 pm

MollyL

Dear God, who wants snow the week before Spring starts? If it happens, it's going to kill all the flowers that are blooming and the cherry blossoms.

12:13 pm

Minveryork

Thought we would get a "snow day" last Friday, but nope.I would rather have a snow day this Tuesday instead anyway

12:14 pm

m9f9l

That sure escalated quickly! Of course, I'm not surprised.

12:14 pm

Minveryork

Like, I said my reason are selfish. Hopefully flowers will be able to grow back after the snow melts and Spring comes.

12:15 pm

rururocks

lol min.. screw the cherry trees...just give me another day off :D

12:15 pm

m9f9l

My brain is too fur-lined to come up with anything though.

12:15 pm

rururocks

well.. we could Pelt you with puns m9

12:16 pm

m9f9l

A hairy situation.

12:17 pm

rururocks

I was stoll-ing off another pun fur a second

12:17 pm

MollyL

Stoal

12:17 pm

rururocks

oh.. oops

12:18 pm

rururocks

it's hard for me to ermine how to spell that word

12:18 pm

m9f9l

And I mink you meant stole.

12:20 pm

MollyL

Sorry, didn't mean to "belittle" anyone. And my spelling of that word was wrong anyway.

12:20 pm

MollyL

Mae West

12:22 pm

rururocks

telling good fur puns is really just a matter of how one sets the sable

12:22 pm

Minveryork

Who cares about spelling here? Enable certainly does not.I do not know what word you spelled wrong anyway,MollyL.

12:23 pm

m9f9l

it's takes a stoat heart.

Minveryork

Daylight Savings certainly hasn't screwed up your wittiness

Phantom: clementine

12:25 pm

MollyL

Min, if we do get snow, I will be happy for you that you get a day off. I probably won't go to work either, if it snows like they say it might, but that costs me a day of paid leave that I would rather take on a nice day.

12:27 pm

rururocks

nice and sunny here for once.. I relish the days without rain

12:28 pm

m9f9l

I once said I relished the days without rain, but I condiment that I liked them.

12:30 pm

rururocks

that's not even chutney m9

12:30 pm

Minveryork

Don't know where you live Molly,but I hope Mother Nature makes us BOTH happy,snowstorm for me & sunhine for you

12:30 pm

m9f9l

Chutney? That's all you could come up with to try and catsup with me?

12:30 pm

rururocks

(who needs to worry about global warming when we have minveryork)

12:31 pm

m9f9l

That doesn't cut the mustard!

12:31 pm

rururocks

I CAN'T cut the mustard m9 sorry

rururocks

LOL snap

12:31 pm

rururocks

m9f9l

Too busy cutting the cheese? :_D

12:31 pm

m9f9l

Wasn't that a gouda one?

12:31 pm

12:40 pm

Minveryork

I agree with rururocks. Think I will pass on trying that one.

12:41 pm

rururocks

12:42 pm

m9f9l

Olive digging up the past.

12:43 pm

Minveryork

I'm glad I did not know about it before either. Now I know I was not missing anything special.I hate it when I discover great food late in life; for example, guacamole. I love it!

12:43 pm

m9f9l

Gotta preserve your heritage.

12:43 pm

12:45 pm

m9f9l

We visited my Dad's cousin in CA when I was about 8 and he had a jar of kimchi in his fridge that some elderly Korean lady made for him. Even as an 8 year old that didn't like spicy food I liked that. And now I've found that I can get it here.
