3:52 am
Andree
hi sprite, how did you go
3:53 am
Aussieme
Hey Spritey !! {{a million hugs for Spritey}}
3:54 am
sprite
it was the same unkind doctor who declared me almost completely healthy 3 years ago. But he was not really unkind this time, seemed to take me seriously now. He expects that for now I will be found completely unable to work, if the employment expert agrees. And he wants me back for a new assessment in 6 - 12 months.
3:54 am
sprite
thanks for those hugs, I really need them :)
3:56 am
dizgrannie
YAHOO!!! me did it again...don't have pro so don't get the sparklies..LOL
3:56 am
lynxxx
hi Sprite - and you are still in one piece which is good! do you need to see the employment expert now or has that already been done?
3:56 am
sprite
*S*P*A*R*K*L*I*E*S* for dizgrannie
3:56 am

TY sprite
3:56 am
lynxxx
Congrats DizG
3:59 am
sprite
no, I need to see that expert pretty soon, I expect. After that, it will be decided how much benefit I am going to get. Not sure about the one piece, actually, I am stressed out and filled with cotton thingies ;)
4:01 am
sprite
did I tell my work has neglected to register my being sick since 2 years with the personnel department? THey are rushing things now, so I expect to hear from that expert this week or next.
4:02 am
lynxxx
Just take (and enjoy) one day at a time Sprite, thats all any of us can do. I do hope they can fast track this for you
4:03 am
Andree
good luck sprite and keep your chin up and try not to get too stressed
4:04 am
sprite
good advice, lyn. And yes, I think the rushing might not be that bad, now that the dreaded assessment is over for now. All in all things seem to go as best as they can. All your good thoughts really help. Do I sound crazy when I say I could feel people thinking of me and supporting me?
4:04 am
Andree
I am off to have some dinner now , happy babbling everyone
4:04 am
sprite
thanks Andree. Worst stress is over now, this is the reaction. I'll be death warmed up for the next couple of days, but that will pass.
4:04 am

enjoy dinner, Andree

colly woobles Sprite? an Australian and UK expression - means an upset stomach or butterflies/nervous.
4:08 am
westford
sprite I read the chat as I came in were you injured at work?
4:10 am
sprite
I like the expression, lynxxx! No, not really, more like somebody pulled the plug and all my energy has drawn away. Have been extremely stressed working up to the assessment, now the reaction.
4:10 am
sprite
west: in a manner of speaking. Broke down 2 years ago, after many years of working handicapped and not getting any help or consideration at work.
4:11 am
westford
oh too bad sprite sounds like things are finally on the right track for you
4:12 am

Aussieme
Westie !!!!
4:12 am
westford
hi aussie haven't seen you in awhile
4:12 am
sprite
am not really happy with the short term re-assessment, but that was to be expected. They don't like people getting a benefit here, they do all they can to get them working again. But we will cross that bridge over 6 - 12 months, for now it looks good.
4:12 am
westford
how's your little one?
4:13 am
sprite
Caya seems to be a little better today. Still looks like a panda bear, but the deep black is now more like blue, and she is a little less tired.
4:14 am
Aussieme
She is fine West, thanks..... I been busy, really busy, working full-time and helping my Sister plan her wedding... she marries her long time partner next friday !
4:14 am
Aussieme
Oh Sprite..... {{a million hugs for Caya}}
4:15 am
sprite
sounds like a wonderful celebration of something good, Aussie. Lots of work, but worth it. :)
4:15 am
westford
sprite glad to hear caya is doing better; aussie best wishes to your sister is it going to be a quiet ceremony or a big bash??
4:16 am
sprite
lol, she is so muck like her mum... with that little bit more energy she is ready to jump off and go. Told her that she needs to use it for healing up further. That she can do a little bit more today, but with moderation and still lots of rest.
4:16 am
Aussieme
just a quiet ceremony, and then a big shin-dig afterwards, her Hubby-to-be is a Scotsman !
4:17 am
sprite
oh wow Aussie, special!
4:17 am
westford
oooh will he wear a kilt? I love men in kilts
4:17 am

4:33 am

4:33 am
westford
flosey have they considered allergies?
4:33 am
westford
I like all those extra vowels lol
4:33 am
hydra
You mean they don't use a dictionary with both spellings? Yet other words are allowed with both 'or' and 'our' endings. Grrrrrr!
4:34 am
flosey
that's my next question but have to deal with another matter first
4:34 am
westford
I have given up trying to figure it out
4:34 am
flosey

4:34 am

4:35 am

I'm Ms Angry today. Kept awake all night by a car alarm. Ironically enough, I'd started a book with exactly the same theme, and then it happened to me. Spooky?
4:35 am
lynxxx
you are coming to see me Flosey!
4:35 am
westford
flosey my father in law had the same trouble had to sleep in a recliner they finally figured out it was allergies
4:36 am
hydra
Hope you're OK flosey.
4:36 am
flosey
are you an oral surgeon lynxxx?
4:36 am
flosey
some nights I do that west, slelep in recliner
4:36 am
lynxxx
no but I am in the State of Victoria
4:36 am
westford
know what you mean hydra..our neighbor's car alarm would always go off in the rain..but he parked his car next to our bedroom window..they couldn't hear it
4:37 am
flosey
oh, lol - well it would be nice to come to your Victoria
4:38 am
westford
flosey that lump could very well be caused by all the coughing you've been doing
4:38 am
hydra
Thanks for sympathy, west. I was inventing ways of killing the car. Then I moved to sofa and had to invent ways of killing cat as he snored so loud!
4:39 am
westford
kill the car if you must but please don't kill the cat
4:40 am
hydra
As if I would! He's curled up next to me as I type, still snoring. He makes me giggle. He's quite musical, with his trumpeting nose. At least it's not the other end!!!
4:40 am
westford
lol hydra
4:40 am
westford
what's his name?
4:41 am
flosey

4:41 am
westford

4:42 am
hydra
Flad! Short for Flathead. As a stray kit (he adopted us) he looked as if he'd got squashed during birth. Saw neighbour standing by car. "Did it keep you awake too?" asked Mr Grumpy (the BF). "No. It's mine. I bought it yesterday," said neighbour.
4:42 am
flosey
monkeyed it
4:43 am
lynxxx
another silly word
4:44 am
westford
Flad! love it our KC adopted us too..KC for Kitty Cat
4:44 am
lynxxx
and then what did Mr Grumpy say?
4:44 am
hydra
He couldn't say anything 'cos poor neighbour had to go for chemo that morning and car battery had run right down!
4:45 am
hydra
What colour is KC. westford?
4:45 am
flosey
oh dear, poor fellow
4:45 am
westford

4:46 am

4:47 am
hydra
There's a farm backing onto a garden that appears tp breed b&w farm cats. We think that's where Flad originated. Every doorstep in the street as a Fladalike sitting on it.
4:48 am
NonoNanette

4:48 am
westford

4:48 am

*agrees about complaint about favourite(s)*
Ridiculous.
4:50 am

It is, lynxxx. I have no friends here though. Only mr G and Flad! All my pals are 27miles away in N London, so I don't get to see them often, as I don't drive.

Merk
This is the perfect time of year to make sweet and sour. Homegrown tomatoes ... yummy!
5:40 am
Merk
Did you know that you can also make sweet and sour fish?
5:41 am
westford
I wish I had some produce from the markets are poor quality
5:41 am
westford
fish is my favorite any way any time
5:42 am
Merk
fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions ... all make it perfect. Tomatoes are always the hardest for me to find because I only have flower beds anymore. I have to depend on friends to drop off tomatoes.
5:43 am
westford
keep promising myself to put in a few tomato plants next spring for sure
5:44 am
westford
we've had so much rain they would be nice and plump
5:44 am
Jacula

* 1/4 cup vinegar
* 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

5:44 am
Merk
The lonely eq builds from another qu word.
5:45 am
westford
thanks jac you're so sweet ( not sour )
5:45 am
Jacula
Sadly, I'm the only one in our house who likes Sweet and Sour, indeed any sauces.:(
5:45 am
Merk
That sounds like a good recipe, Jacula, but I would suggest using fresh garlic.
5:46 am
Jacula
Merk - I do, but it's okay with the dried.
5:46 am
Merk
my poor hubby hated sweet and sour because he couldn't get past the pineapple, but his tastes have matured and now I can make it
5:46 am
westford
fresh garlic already chopped
5:47 am
Jacula
West - I qu5 like chopping garlic into tiny pieces - it's therapeutic.:)
5:47 am
westford
it is and dicing onions as well
5:48 am
Jacula
Other half likes tomato based pasta sauces I make but not cheese or sweet& sour ,or wine ones etc.
5:49 am
Jacula
I dunno West. I got a really strong onion the other day and once my eyes closed I had a hell of a job getting them open again.
5:49 am
westford
a pu 6/24 ?
5:49 am
Merk
garlic is excellent for your health
5:49 am
westford
vidalias are nice and mild
5:50 am
Jacula
Merk - I have to take care how much garlic I eat as it lowers blood pressure and I have naturally very love b/p.
5:50 am
Jacula
Garlic tonight, though - I'm making meatballs & spaghetti in a tomato-based sauce etc.
5:51 am
Jacula
Ver loW not love B/P. LOL!
5:52 am
Jacula
Yes, West, a pu6/24. 'Fruit belongs in a pie not on a dinner plate!' is his motto.
5:52 am
carleekat
oh..i had one of those jacs
5:53 am
Merk
And that is why I use garlic ... plus I get so much in China that I've grown to love it. Hey, I found two pu 6 words after westford's comment.
5:53 am
westford
my friend's husband won't eat casseroles want's everything separate
5:53 am
westford

5:53 am
Jacula
West - My son's like that.

carleekat

5:54 am
carleekat
I use a slow cooker for stews....
5:54 am
Jacula
Also good to chuck everything into one pot (or a slow cooker) and for it to be ready at the end of the day.
5:55 am
westford
same principle
5:55 am
carleekat
so how are things jacs?
5:55 am
westford

5:56 am
Jacula

5:56 am
carleekat

5:56 am
Jacula
How about you, Carlee? You okay?
5:57 am
Jacula
Recipe sounds interesting, provided it's not horse meat (being a French recipe).
5:57 am
carleekat

5:57 am
Jacula
That's a compliment we all like to hear, Carlee.:)
5:58 am

6:11 am

westford
all the fat gets cooked out of the meat and it doesn't affect the flavor
6:13 am
Jacula
Are the measurements for the meat in lbs?
6:13 am
Gail
I'm eating hot buttered toast (homemade bread) and grape tomatoes from my neighbor's garden. That pie sounds wonderful!
6:13 am

6:15 am
redturtlehead
Wow, I was just reminded by TV that it is 9/11. I can not help but remember I was duh, at the gym, looking at it on TV and initially thought that someone had left a bad movie on TNT.....
6:15 am
Merk
cinnamon ... interesting
6:15 am
carleekat
oh..so it is... ok..glad I don't have tv on...
6:16 am

6:16 am
Jacula
Yes, I was up at midnight when the clock changed and thought of the date.
6:16 am
Jacula
I wondered about the cinnamon, too, Merk.
6:16 am
Merk
Thanks, Westford. I'm printing it off and putting it in my 3 ring binder.
6:17 am
westford

6:17 am
carleekat

6:17 am
Jacula
Either sounds good, West.
6:18 am
westford
I usually make candied or parsley carrots to serve with
6:18 am
Merk
the fe 7 has the same ending as the an 9
6:18 am
carleekat
I think I would be inclined to add beef boulian when cooking the meet and let it simmer down into the meat..since not adding pork and the flavour that pork brings to meat
6:19 am
westford
good idea carlee I'll try that next time
6:19 am
carleekat
and some wine too
6:19 am
carleekat
a nice full bodied red wine
6:19 am
carleekat
and cook it all down...
6:19 am
carleekat
no liquid left...
6:20 am
westford
won't be the same
6:20 am
Jacula
I usually make new recipes as shown on first time out and then adapt to our tastes in subsequent makings. My recipe books are full of my notes and scibbles in the margins.
6:20 am
Jacula
*scribbles.
6:21 am
carleekat
I typically cook most meats with wine ( as I have an abundance of it in my house..up to 240 bottles in wine cellar )
6:21 am
westford
I do that too
6:21 am
Jacula
None of us is keen on meat with wine/beer etc.
6:21 am
westford
wow carlee and we think we're doing well if we have 10 bottles lol
6:22 am
Jacula
Well, not IN the food. In a glass with the food is a different matter.:)
6:22 am
carleekat
I work in a wine store west
6:22 am
carleekat
I make the wine
6:22 am
westford

6:23 am
westford
we opened a bottle of peach wine the other night and it was bad
6:24 am
carleekat
and every day I filter wine ( tues and thur )... there 2-3 bottles worth of the last wine that went thorugh the system in my filter......we are supposed to throw out... but I pull it out..run through a coffee filter to remove some of the residual sediment.....and then I bottle for myself...
6:24 am
westford
I was really looking forward to it
6:24 am
carleekat
turn it into vinegar for salad dressings
6:25 am
westford
too late husband dumped it wish I had thought of that
6:25 am
Jacula
Hmm, that's another thing Other Half doesn't like - salad dressings. I have to put mine on afterwards.
6:25 am
westford
the cork was all icky
6:25 am
carleekat
today..the last wine on my filter list is a nice shiraz..so tonight I will comehome wiht 2 or 3 bottles of shiraz :)
6:26 am

6:26 am
carleekat
tuesday I came home wiht 3 bottles of cab shiraz
6:26 am
Jacula

6:40 am
Eva
I'll be 59 in a couple of months. Seems quite unbelievable sometimes, but not bad at all.
6:40 am
westford
we took her daughter to college and on the way back we stopped to get gas in a little town in NY and she told the attendant we were Thelma and Louise
6:40 am
carleekat

6:40 am
Jacula
Yes, Carlee. We're only a short flight away here in UK.
6:41 am

westford
he just looked at us and laughed
6:41 am
Eva
Steeling myself to go and look at th garden. It was quite cold last night and I'm afraid my basil may not have made it. Lots of pesto in the freezer already, but one can never have enough.
6:42 am
redturtlehead
Its a terrible burden, but I will bear it.
6:42 am
Jacula
Did you both have your headscarves and sunglasses on, West?
6:42 am
westford

6:45 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I just read the front page of the newspaper before I came here.
6:45 am
Eva
I've never had the problem peri. But you have to make the pesto very soon after the basil is picked, so it is still bright green. Then I just dump it, and garlic, olive oil, any combo of pine nuts, pecans, walnuts that I'm in the mood for, and lots of very good parmesan reggiano, and freeze imeediately. Some batches stay a lighter green than others but they are all green. Some people just do the basil and oil and freeze it in ice cube trays to save freezer room and then ad the rest later.

7 years' ago I remember the image of the first plane going into the tower and thinking it was an accident, until 2nd one ... I called my son downstairs and we watched events unfold in absolute horror. The image of people leaping from the building will always be etched on my mind.
6:52 am
westford
Eva I wish I had you next door your pesto sounds delicious
6:53 am

I was at work listeing to a mother of a pilot, we were all in shock, her son was not flying that day. The real shock hit when we realized the other planes how the story unfolded. My son who is very ethnic looking was told to stay in his dorm at college in Florida. When he came home for

we've always talked about going to Vermont..never made it past Dublin
6:56 am
Anniebrook
westford, the first time I visited Ogunquit many years ago I fell in love with the place...it is lovely
6:57 am
westford
what part of Vermont?
6:57 am
Eva
7 years ago I had just quit my job and was on my way to a volunteer job at Franlin Park Zoo-something I had always wanted to do. When the news came on of the first plane something sounded very, very wrong. When the rest unfolded I was holding two orphaned baby possums and can remember crying and talking to the possums about how lucky they were not to be human, and how no other animal ws capable of our level of insanity. Or at least not with opposable thumbs and a large prefrontal cortex capable of putting the insanity into such terrible action.l Really I think that humans are not such a great experiment.
6:57 am
westford
Ogunquit is lovely but being over built like every place else
6:58 am
Eva
west-Ogunquit is beautiful. We are near Montpelier-north central.

Eva we're the only mammals who wage war..
7:00 am
Eva
I know-I hadn't been there in a long time and when I drove north to MOnhegan I ws shocked by the huge build up of the factory outlets. St Albans is way, way out there.....do they like it?
7:00 am
westford
I suppose so that's all they've ever known

7:01 am
Scrabbler
I am back--computer is updated and rebooted. DOn't you hate it when a window pops up: The updates have completed but you must restart your computer.
7:01 am
Eva
It's not that I think that other animals are so much purer emotionally than we are....if they could wage organized war, they probably would. But I wish that nature would arrange for some sort of developmental screening process where one's technical abilities could not exceed one's wisdom.
7:01 am
Anniebrook
I was looking out my living room window when I saw this huge cloud that looked like dust around the Twin Towers. I face the city. I turned on my TV and watched in horror. I still can't believe it.
7:02 am
Eva
Do you live in the city Annie? I grew up there, and my brother still lives there, but I left in 67.
7:03 am
westford
that must have been horrible annie my husband was working temporarily less than a mile from the Pentagon they heard the explosion before they knew what was going on I was home in MA
7:03 am

To have been witnessing that horror in person on 9/11/01 is awful.

I live in Brooklyn and I have a complete view of the city about 15 miles away.

Scrabbler
My friend that works for Verizon was in their Manhattan office and saw everything happen.
7:04 am
Eva
my sister-in-law worked at 1 Financial Plaza. She has never been able to talk about it much. Except for the hours it took her and a crowd of fellow travelers to walk their way home on the upper west side.
7:06 am
Anniebrook
Eva, how awful! I was far enough away and was affected by what I was witnessing. I cant imagine being down there. My friends daughter walked down 82 flights of stairs. Her boss told everyone to get out as soon as it happened. He saved her life.
7:07 am
westford
there were a lot of heroes that day
7:07 am
Scrabbler
For sure, Westford!
7:08 am
Eva
Annie I didn't realize until just now that after that day, when I finally reached them and found out they wre okay, we have never talked about it again. I think I'll go out, check the basil, take a wallk and just take in some of these memories and feelings. See you later.
7:09 am
Anniebrook
Later, Eva and say a prayer for the ones that were lost.

A fire broke out Thursday in the tunnel under the English Channel but all passengers are safe, Eurotunnel officials said.
They were evacuated through a service tunnel, the officials said.
Traffic was suspended by the fire which broke out on the French end of the tunnel.
The Associated Press reported 32 people were aboard a shuttle train transporting trucks where the fire broke out on the London-Paris service.

He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. And he declared I cannot work more than 10 hours a week, so that is very low.

We rode all the way to Towne Deli and Casey (the friend) had dropped his money!"....
11:42 am

She's slowed down a fair bit, FM. She was back to her papercrafting. But there are quite a few bracelets waiting for me to do the finishing up knots, and she's been nagging me quite a bit to do them, so she's still pretty into it.

so, I very calmly explained to him that a 9 year old should NOT be coming and getting his bike, and taking a ride into town to buy snacks without telling his "mommy"
11:49 am
kje
that is normal for him not to get why you'd be upset... his important issue was money for junk... yours is safety... clearly you 2 do not think alike - LOL
11:49 am
caitlyn
Did his friends mum know they were out on their bikes?And is he road safe?
11:49 am
leighprefect
AsG- Just out of curiosity, where in Jersey are you?
11:49 am
redturtlehead
Oh ASG, I am glad he is OK.
11:49 am
AsGreen
to which he replied, as calmly, "well, I was going to call, but as I said, Casey had $$, and besides, if I had called, MOM, would you have let me?"
11:49 am
Vicuna
Probably better that he doesn't realize it's bad than that he knows it's bad and hopes to get away with it anyway.
11:50 am
westford
someday he will give you 2 darling granddaughters ( mine did ) lol
11:50 am
AsGreen
I'm in Summit Leigh
11:50 am
kje
LOLOL - smart kid - LOLOL
11:50 am
hurshy
ah, the classic vanessa problem.
11:50 am
Vicuna
Mmmm... well, he may begin verging into option two, there, then...
11:50 am
AsGreen
so, parents, I KNOW that I have to let him grow up, BUT, I do think 9 (well, almost 10) is too young to be off "shopping for snacks"... I MAKE GREAT snacks
11:51 am
caitlyn
LOL green
11:51 am
kje
agree asg - he must let you know where he is
11:51 am
leighprefect
AsG-Maybe just explain to him that you'd like for him to inform you of where he is.
11:51 am
Vicuna
I don't think the snacks are the point, AsGreen!
11:51 am
redturtlehead
Asg last summer I saw two kids in a gas station in town with about 5 or 6 dollars they made from mowing lawns or something...they were so funny, picking and choosing junk and calculating how much they could get....
11:51 am
kje
re; snacks... come on... you are nowhere near as fun as the deli at that age
11:52 am
AsGreen
(I'm definitely being a little tongue in cheek), but seriously, I don't like him going off - and I won't get him a cell phone until middle school....
11:52 am
redturtlehead
It was entertaining, but of course he needed to let you know where he was!
11:52 am
kje
nope... real issue asg - 9 is not that old
11:53 am
caitlyn
What does the other mum think about what happened?
11:53 am
leighprefect
Because, if you had have assumed that he was at his friend's house, and something bad happened....Well, I won't finish. Don't like thinking in any way like that,
11:53 am
kje
hold a sec - I think there are foreigners in my backyard...
11:53 am
AsGreen
I was joking about the snacks part.... but anyway, my other issue is that part of the way to get there is a very busy double line road with curves and no lights... it's dangerous
11:53 am
leighprefect
Maybe suggest another place to go instead to get their treats?
11:53 am
redturtlehead
I am glad he is OK, the road would be what bothered me too.
11:54 am
Judi
So, AsGreen. Did you ground his little wandering butt?
11:54 am
kje
ground him ground him gorund him...
11:54 am
AsGreen
and the friend, who is a GOOD kid, has parents with MUCH different values than I do. the mom is "home" but has a rotating staff if you know what I mean....and not much supervision.
11:54 am
caitlyn
Our junior scholle always give bike safety lessons does your school do that?
11:54 am
redturtlehead
what in the yard kje?
11:55 am
caitlyn
School!!
11:55 am
leighprefect
AsG-On the bright side...At least he was with friends. Explain NEVER to do it alone.
11:55 am
kje
next door... men working, not sure of the language, but not spanish which is most common around here... also hae a large west african pop - it may be one of those dialects
11:55 am
Vicuna
Ah well, wandering off to other pursuits for a while. In light of the conversation, I'll be sure to call if I decide to go anywhere else. Farewell, all!
11:56 am
caitlyn
Bye Vi see you soon
11:56 am
westford
you'd better vi lol
11:56 am
kje
friends is not the bottom issue - going without permission is the issue... even dangerous road is not for him to judge... that is why he asks
11:56 am
AsGreen
I didn't ground him this time - he saw how upset I was and started crying, "you don't believe me but I WAS going to call you"... to which I replied, "but, you didn't.... and know that you know, you may never do that again...so you aren't in trouble this time, but now you know (again) that our rules are different," yada yada yada
11:56 am
Judi
BBL, lunch.
11:56 am
kje
bye vi... where are you going?
11:56 am
AsGreen
Vi - NO HANGOUTS EITHER - I make GREAT snacks if you want to pop over!
11:56 am
redturtlehead
Kids are hard. I want a snack, but I just had a rather unhealthy lunch.
11:57 am
kje
thang is not a word
11:57 am
Vicuna
(I'll just be at home, I promise!)
11:57 am
kje
wild thang..... you make my heart sang.... you make everything....
11:57 am
AsGreen
anyway.... that's my week so far
11:57 am
AsGreen
kje, are the guys cute? lol
11:58 am
westford
lunch time here too then I have to get a new driver's license
11:58 am
AsGreen
ok, well call me before going out so I can say no and humiliate you in front of your friends
11:58 am
westford
hoping I can just turn the old one in
11:58 am
kje
that was for the thang word which doesn't exist... it just popped into my head after that
11:58 am
redturtlehead
good luck Westford! long lines await you.
11:58 am
kje
the guys are super skinny and sweaty
11:58 am
westford
I hate long lines
11:58 am
AsGreen
shoot, I should really go do something productive too..... and I just hit the halfway point for the grid
11:59 am
redturtlehead
bring a book.
11:59 am
leighprefect
Okay ladies, I'm going to clean up. BBL! Happy babbling!
11:59 am
AsGreen
I know KJE, I know, you are WAY ahead of me!
11:59 am
kje
which state waits longest in lines???
11:59 am
westford
good idea since I misplaced my iphone
11:59 am
AsGreen
sorry for chogging so much - hubby is away, so you gals are my vent
11:59 am
kje

11:59 am
caitlyn
Bye to all the leavers
11:59 am
westford
which one kje?
11:59 am
westford
probably RI
12:00 pm
kje
where I was living at the time... didn't surprise me at all
12:00 pm
redturtlehead
dunno? New York had some long lines when I lived there, but I see I am corrected1
12:00 pm
hurshy
i think hangouts are a nice way for kids to get independence, when they are not reached by biking on dangerous roads.
12:00 pm
caitlyn
AsG as I said earler its good to run problems over with the babble buddies
12:00 pm
kje
but the other interesting thing is that they minded much less than other states with shorter lines... just expected it I guess... learned helplessness
12:01 pm
AsGreen
hursh, for 9 though? I think middle school
12:01 pm
kje
missing one F
12:01 pm
westford
my favorite thing is finally getting up to a window and not having what I'm supposed to have
12:01 pm
hurshy
did you also mention, in addition to "don't do THAT again", that in future if he thinks he ought to check with you first, and he thinks you might say no, don't just ignore that prick of conscience! either assume that he's right and you will say no, and therefore don't do it, or actually check with you.
12:01 pm
hurshy
i mean about any issue that hasn't been explicitly discussed.
12:02 pm
kje
if fa6 is a word (brit spelling)- then why note fa6ite... it is my fa6ite flavor of icecream!
12:02 pm
westford
I am poofing bye all
12:02 pm
AsGreen
I think that's why he was so upset - once he thought about it, he knew it was a bit over the top
12:02 pm
redturtlehead
must nap....immediately. too much lunch putting me to sleep.
12:02 pm
AsGreen
bye west!
12:02 pm
caitlyn
Bye west I must poof too,see you all tomorrow

12:03 pm
AsGreen
bye caitlyn - let us know if you go or not!
12:03 pm
AsGreen
I'm up to 8 f's
12:03 pm
redturtlehead
Ooops.
12:03 pm
hurshy
that's really good, that he recognizes that now. and i think if you encourage him to make use of his conscience, then that helps him feel more empowered than if he just had a list of dos and don'ts
12:03 pm
redturtlehead
very sleepy, nappy.
12:03 pm
caitlyn
I will thanks AsG bye

hi all
12:47 pm
carleekat

1:04 pm
elder
hello Carleekat and... Sprite .
1:05 pm
sprite
hi elder *huggg* Good to see you.
1:06 pm
elder
and you, ::)) your day been okish..?
1:07 pm
sprite
the assessment went ok. It was the same unkind doctor that declared me almost healthy 3 years ago, but this time he took me seriously. He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. Looks good.
1:07 pm
sprite
will get a re-assessment within a year, so still some more stress to go, but at least this one seems to go ok.
1:07 pm
elder
Just finished.. bit by bit .. in and out as best as I could manage.
1:08 pm
sprite
oh! WTG elder! I need 8 more, almost done. And then to bed for a very long night.
1:09 pm
elder
Sprite, So pleased to hear that.. you most be so relieved.. yes its looking good... keep me posted.. ::))
1:09 pm
sprite
I learn from you, do you realise that? The part by part thing is something I need to learn, and you are such a great example.
1:10 pm
elder
Sprite.. thank you. Do you need clues.. am not too good but will do my best.
1:10 pm
sprite
ah, there is the fireworks :)
1:10 pm
sprite
but no vid :(
1:11 pm
elder
Sprite.... well done !!!! .. no fireworks why?
1:12 pm
sprite
it is like there is no vid loaded, it says "from" and then nothing.
1:12 pm
elder
Sprite its very kind of you to attribute your thinking and progress from my gabbling's. Its your positivity and day to day ups that will get you through.::)
1:13 pm
sprite
thanks for the clue offer, nothing wrong with your clueing, elder. Last few went fast, otherwise I'd have loved to get your clues.
1:13 pm
elder
Oh.. I got them .. ??
1:13 pm
sprite
weird! So now we have lickety not talking to me and his expert not playing for me? How goofy :)
1:14 pm
elder
It is odd ? is Disney to blame! . lol
1:14 pm
sprite
we all need teachers, elder. And we all are teachers, whether we realise it or not. You are wise in doing things bit by bit. And I learn from you. Thanks and a big *hug*. I am going to have a long night, so must bid you goodnight now. Be well and take care of you :)
1:15 pm
elder
Sprite, Bless, but before you go .. how is your daughter ?
1:16 pm
sprite
still more or less the same, elder. Very pale, dark rings around her eyes (I call her my panda or raccoon), and very tired. Slightly better than yesterday, though. Will call doctor tomorrow to hear if there are any test results in yet.
1:16 pm
jtdp
i have i feel a legitimate 10 letter word but it keeps getting thrown out i have spelt it correctly
1:17 pm
sprite
jtdp, if your word is fa****ite(s), it is not valid. Should be, but isn't in this dictionary. Very frustrating!
1:17 pm
sprite
lots of us have fumed about it not being valid today. Seems we are smarter than the enable dictionary :)
1:18 pm
elder
Sprite, I wish for you and her speedy recovery. She has been through a lot lately and her symptoms this might be the physical results of her trauma.Take care and rest as much as possible.
1:20 pm
sprite
she is a very sensitive girl, so I wouldn't be surprised. I hope it all gets better soon. Thanks for the good wishes, elder!
I just realised I must update the icon themes before I hit the hay. Back soon to check if I did it correctly.
1:20 pm
elder
Might be because the the 'f' word is spelt in the English form.
1:20 pm
elder
Bye Sprite.. *hugs*.

just a test to see if the update went ok...
1:27 pm
icepyro
its actually a recent addition to recognize that u when involving suffixes. for instance humour would be accepted (if it was in the gird) but humourous would not be.. only humorous
1:28 pm
icepyro
by recent I mean more recent than enable... which is not that recent at all
1:28 pm

it did, so I am off. Sleep well, for those at my side of the ocean, and have a grand day to the rest of you.
