9:16 am

i could write a piece on heartworm

it would go, heartworm is bad.

And, I am fighting a headache--though, seems to be a run-of-the mill sinus, not a doozy

give your doggie the pills so they don't get it.

Hi JBV
9:21 am
Pinikula

but then what do you tell a kid who says things like, "Mom, why do dogs get heartworm? Why don't I take a pill so I don't get heartworms? Can people get heartworms? Are they big? Are they long? Are they little? Will I die if I get a heartworm? Mom, why is the sky blue?, Are we there yet?...ETC ETC...
9:22 am

you say, look it up.

Good answer, hursh

i have awesome parenting skills, what can i say?
9:23 am

LOl, pini. Yes, there is a preventive, but some people don't take their dogs to the doctor, or give them pills to prevent diseases.... I could go on, LOL...

It snowed overnight and is still snowing. It is beautiful with snow on the trees. BUT, I hear gunshots in the distance because deer season began yesteray and I am sad to think of my graceful visitors being killed.

Hey, on another point...When someone is told to find a word in the dictionary to learn how to spell it; how does one look up a word if they don't know what they're looking for???
9:24 am
pam

Wow, scrabs....
9:25 am
hurshy

there are special dictionaries for that
9:25 am
Scrabbler

They try various spellings until they find it
9:25 am
pam

I was told how to spell it--with help, after I sounded it out, then sent to the dictionary
9:25 am
hurshy

you can get a phonetic dictionary
9:26 am
Scrabbler

I never heard of those, hurshy.
9:26 am
pam

I still click on each word in these silly grids that I don't know... not that it helps 8-)
9:26 am
Pinikula

(Hey, all I was just kinda kidding - but you should see the look on a kids' face when that's the first answer they get..."Mom, how do you spell ***?" Reply, "Go look it up."
9:27 am
hurshy

i dunno how well various spelling methods work... i learned to spell by reading. i don't know how else to do it.
9:27 am
hurshy

and vocab and grammar...
9:27 am
JBV

pini, if your kids are in school, they probably have a personalized dictionary - at least we do that in our classrooms - each kid keeps his own list of words he's had to look up, etc.
9:27 am
Scrabbler

I tell kids in my practice: reading should be your #1 hobby.
9:28 am
Scrabbler

Good idea, JBC
9:28 am
Scrabbler

And JBV too
9:28 am
JBV

and the most common spelling "demons" (words that are commonly misspelled) are put up on the Word Wall for easy reference
9:28 am
hurshy

HS kids getting ready for the SAT say, "how should i study for the verbal section?", and i say, go back in time and read more books
9:29 am
pam

I love the idea of a word wall...
9:29 am
JBV

I concur, hurshy
9:29 am
Scrabbler

misspelled is often misspelled
9:29 am
Pinikula

(Oh, I'm just throwing thoughts out...my girls are 25 and 22.)
9:29 am
JBV

talk to your kids' teachers, I bet they have that =
9:29 am
Pinikula

I used word tricks with them while they were growing up ...
9:29 am

YAY, JBV!
9:31 am

they're going there to learn grammar, cause if they don't they'll get their a**** kicked?
9:31 am
JBV

: ) - we have a word wall in my office, too
9:31 am
Scrabbler

And punctuation is critical too--I hate seeing misplaced apostrophes. Lynn somebody's book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves is a hilarious look at that.
9:31 am
JBV

love that book!
9:31 am
Scrabbler

Lynn Truss?
9:31 am
Pinikula

anyone?
9:31 am
JBV

we should have a national Commission on the Apostrophe - maybe I'll write to Obama
9:32 am
hurshy

i gave you an answer pini
9:32 am
pam

She is awesome, Lynn Truss is!
9:32 am
JBV

Pini, are you asking for a rule?
9:32 am
Pinikula

Oh...sorry...didn't know that was for me!!!
9:32 am
JBV

or are you asking about how to teach those words
9:32 am
Pinikula

no, jbv...was going to offer the trick to the words
9:33 am
JBV

please share.....
9:33 am
Scrabbler

I still struggle with "affect/effect" though
9:34 am
kje

what trick? what words? is there a trick to this game?
9:34 am
Scrabbler

Noun/verb/correct spelling
9:34 am
Scrabbler

GM KJE
9:34 am
Pinikula

[t]here = place; [t]heir = person; they're = people doing
9:34 am

(so to speak on the last one)
9:34 am
JBV

cool, Pini, those little tricks do work
9:34 am
Pinikula

morning kje...
9:35 am
pam

KJE!
9:35 am
kje

hi pam, pini, jbv, scrab
9:35 am
wildcat17

hi kj
9:35 am
kje

and lurkers everywhere
9:35 am
JBV

here's one on affect/effect: affect is normally used as a verb (except in psych terminology, as a noun) and effect as a noun, so in alphabetical order, A (verb) precedes E (object/noun) - does that help anyone except those who know how to use them?
9:35 am
Pinikula

and, yes, kje...there is a trick to this game...
9:35 am
Pinikula

...it's to figure out how to finish! lol
9:36 am
pam

Wow, the birds are going nuts outside of my windows... cold air coming in, headache coming on. GRRRRRRRRRRR
9:36 am
Pinikula

would it be the same if explained affect is change and effect is emotion?
9:37 am
Scrabbler

TY, JBV. My trouble is that I often use "affect" as a noun, as in "This teenager displayed a flat affect."
9:37 am
JBV

well, effect is not only emotion, as in effects of global warming, etc.
9:37 am
Pinikula

ok...maybe not emotion...
9:37 am
Pinikula

maybe effort?
9:37 am
JBV

that's what I meant, scrabs, that psych term kinds of messes up my theory
9:37 am
wildcat17

effect = results
9:38 am
wildcat17

affect = emotions or feelings
9:38 am
Scrabbler

Is effect ever a verb?
9:38 am
JBV

yes
9:38 am
dcseain

i use affect as a noun in the same manner as scrabbler
9:38 am
wildcat17

so even a teen displaying a flat effect is a result
9:38 am
JBV

The president effected several changes in policy ?
9:38 am
Dorens

yah, but AFfect is only used in psych terms, right?
9:38 am
Scrabbler

Hi Seain

hello
9:39 am
Scrabbler

Argh, so confusing!
9:39 am
Scrabbler

Hi Doren
9:39 am
wildcat17

yup
9:39 am
Dorens

if affect only had one f it would be in the grid and we would all be in the PB
9:39 am
JBV

that "affect" as noun is also different because of the pronunciation, stress on first syllable
9:39 am
wildcat17

yup
9:39 am
JBV

LOL, dorens
9:40 am
Pinikula

(oh my...look what I've started - always wondered if others *thought* about word differences like I do)
9:40 am
hurshy

they're there on the stair for their fair share. the heir paid the fare so they came through the air. they couldn't bear to be bare and have people stare so they decided to wear some hare's hair. they went on a tear and set the scale's tare. they said beware of the werewolf, and the lair of the mare, don't get caught in her snare or you'll get a scare. this isn't a dare, if you care you are rare. does anyone have a pair of pears for me to pare?
9:40 am
JBV

someone take the rhyming dictionary away from hurshy!
9:40 am
wildcat17

lol pini
9:40 am
pam

flat affect has no effect on my perception ......
9:40 am
wildcat17

someone take the keyboard away from hurshy
9:40 am
dcseain

yay hurshy! :D
9:40 am
pam

Hurshy, as usual, you slay me!
9:41 am
Dorens

hurshy should probably go to the pb... all those wo**s, at least one of them must be in the grid
9:41 am
dcseain

phantom feces
9:41 am
hurshy

if you want to affect the outcome, you should effect a change in your affect immediately. the effects should be clear.
9:42 am
hurshy

i was trying to write a song for cher...
9:42 am
JBV

thanks, hurshy, we'll post that as an exemplar in all the classrooms of nation, we'll need another commission for that

hurshy can be the commissioner extraordinaire

JBV

at least we'll be hearing the correct pronunication of nuclear for the next 4 years
9:44 am
kje

did you watch snl last night jbv
9:44 am
hurshy

but nuclear weapons are so 20th century. we're on to bio- and chemical warfare now.
9:44 am
Dorens

she must have!
9:44 am
JBV

only parts, kje - what are you thinking of?
9:44 am
dcseain

mr bush's pronunciation of that word matches what i learned in school. i only say it the 'correct' way due to peer pressur in HS
9:44 am
kje

the start of the news report
9:44 am
dcseain

his pronunciation is standard southern/appalachi/ozark
9:45 am
Dorens

where did you go to school?
9:45 am
JBV

really, dc? so is that regional?
9:45 am
JBV

no I didn't see that - I think I was asleep by then
9:45 am
kje

I grew up in texas from age 4 on... and NEVER heard people say nucular, and def not my teachers...
9:45 am
Poirot

Bush is from Texas
9:45 am
dcseain

yes, jbv, it's regional, though many of us learn the 'correct' way through education
9:46 am
kje

bush did NOT grow up in texas... he grew up in connecticut... he moved here as an adult
9:46 am
JBV

he supposedly was educated at Yale
9:46 am
grant

The Bushes are not Texans
9:46 am
dcseain

most of texas is Southern in it's speech patterns, ignoring the far west of the state.
9:46 am
Dorens

didn't jimmy carter say nucular also?
9:46 am
dcseain

and kje is correct.
9:46 am
dcseain

i do think he's a bit of a simpleton, but his way of saying nuclear is typical of some regoin
9:46 am
JBV

yes and he was a nucular engineer
9:47 am
hurshy

he was born in new haven but was raised in early childhood in texas, then came to mass. for HS and then of course yale
9:47 am
hurshy

so his formative years were with the accent
9:47 am
dcseain

this is one thing, mayhap the only one, that i defend bush on
9:47 am
kje

was apparently that region includes alaska also... since palin did it also
9:47 am
Dorens

it always bothered me. I mean... just look at the spelling!
9:47 am
Dorens

lol kje
9:48 am
dcseain

Alaska is special, based on my many dealings with hill staffers from that state
9:48 am
pam

And Carter says nucular and he is a nucular engineer... regionalizations....
9:48 am
hurshy

incidentally, he was head cheerleader his senior year at phillips andover
9:48 am
Dorens

executive experience?
9:48 am
JBV

I heard that Palin's town has many migrants from Minnesota
9:48 am
Pinikula

very special...Alaska will be the first to see if/when Russian invades
9:49 am
dcseain

lol pini
9:49 am
Dorens

yes jbv, i read that too... so she should sound (and does) like a minnesotan, or dakotian, but how is that appalachian/southern?
9:50 am
dcseain

many rural accents resemble southern more than standard
9:50 am
dcseain

my faher's family in central OH drawl some
9:50 am
kje

yes... interesting, i often thought she sounded minnesotan...didn't know that about the town
9:51 am
Pinikula

All I know is that when Palin speaks the first thing I think of is the movie: Fargo!
9:51 am
Pinikula

Where's the wood chipper when you need one?! lol
9:51 am
hurshy

and the first thing i think is, is that sarah palin or tina fey?
9:51 am
dcseain

LOL pini
9:51 am
Dorens

exactly pini
9:51 am
kje

it sounded like a roommate i had in college from st paul to me pini
9:52 am
dcseain

it is hard to tell the difference at times, isn't it, hurshy
9:52 am
hurshy

i look at the cheeks. palin has fuller cheeks.
9:53 am
JBV

of course the genius of Tina Fey is not just to mimic the pronunciation of words (dropping g endings from verbs, etc) but the intonation patterns as well
9:53 am
JBV

not to mention that they look like twins!
9:53 am
Pinikula

Tina is prettier?
9:53 am
dcseain

i drop the g from gerunds when speaking in my usual manner
9:54 am
JBV

most people do seain, but it's a matter of where, when and how much that distinguishes dialects, but you know that, I know
9:54 am
hurshy

my husband does not drop his g normally, but when talking to his HS students he always did.
9:54 am
JBV

and with whom (thanks hurshy)
9:54 am
dcseain

true, jbv.
9:55 am
hurshy

his whole way of speaking goes from college level to 6th grade when he talks to dumb teenagers. completely unconscious, but clearly driven by a desire to be liked.
9:55 am
JBV

there's a branch of linguistics that studies those variations in speech
9:55 am
hurshy

mine varies mainly by mood, and/or what i happen to be reading.
9:55 am
dcseain

and i have a received pronunciation that is a standard american english, fully pronounced - quite different from my day-to-day speech, thanks to many years of speech therapy when young
9:56 am
dcseain

interesting, hurshy
9:56 am
dcseain

i sound more southern when excited/frustrated
9:56 am
parsec

I've heard that writing does the same thing--neatness, size, word choice and punctuation change depending on audience.
9:56 am
dcseain

indeed parsec.
9:56 am
JBV

we're talking about "register" - stylistic changes
9:57 am
hurshy

when i'm reading sayers books, i start saying, "what-ho?" or if it's the five red herrings, "och, aye, imph'm"
9:57 am

yes we are, jbv :)
9:57 am
JBV

formal, informal and all the points in between
9:57 am

if i'm reading oz books i talk like dorothy
9:58 am
dcseain

i've been learning new registers of spanish thanks to my job, talking to trucking companies in Mexico.
9:58 am
dcseain

i actually had a caller the other day who had trouble understanding my castillian accent.
9:58 am
parsec

The last c should be "cawdor." Useless literary references for the win!
9:58 am
JBV

interesting, seain - I bet you're learning a lot of new vocabulary too
9:59 am
dcseain

indeed, jbv, as i have a background in nuclear physics in spanish, but not in transportation inustries
9:59 am
hurshy

tee hee
9:59 am
dcseain

and so many different words for the same thing, as education level changes vocab in spanish moreso than in english
10:00 am
JBV

believe me, I know - I work in an office where translation is a regular part of our day and we often have 30-minute discussions on how to translate one sentence - 4 different people, 4 opinions
10:00 am
grant

as in Thane of C...
10:01 am
dcseain

oh, yes, translation is a lot of work, and discussions like that, to get it right.
10:01 am
hurshy

ok, when i went to get a pic of a school supply and i was looking at these pics of trapper keepers, and the desire for one came back to me as strongly as if i were back in second grade
10:01 am
parsec

Yeah, grant. I suck at seeing real words sometimes, but I always find the long ones that aren't in the dictionary.
10:01 am
dcseain

well, enable is dubious, at best
10:02 am
hurshy

i started thinking about whether i could come up with any excuse to need one, and then i realized, it's just a binder with velcro :( really de4ed my balloon.

Ah, ty =)
3:29 pm

do any of the AI words NOT start with the word for atmosphere?
3:29 pm

The combo sounds a bit like a meter word in poetry
3:30 pm

no -- they all do tyger
3:30 pm
tygerbryght

thx, nan
3:32 pm
cybernan

mm -- was never very fond of poetry or the study of it
3:32 pm
tygerbryght

now, follow up: all the clue lists I've looked at show only one ai4 before the 1st ai5 - but I can't find a 5 that starts with the word that - in the old-fashioned sense - was used to describe a melody, only for the one that's a Scotch word (the 2nd)
3:32 pm
tygerbryght

tr7 is a geometry word for something you can't do with a straightedge :P
3:33 pm
Vicuna

there's another 4-5 combo before the melodies.
3:33 pm
cybernan

oh heavens -- geometry is even worse!
3:33 pm

thx, vicuna. could I have a clue? there's *nothing* in any of the word lists :(

Heh, sorry. How about t + large mythical bird + pirate sound?
3:34 pm
cybernan

still looking for that tr 6-7 combo -- another clue, please?
3:34 pm
Vicuna

yes there is. You're just confusing which 5/10 is the first. But it starts with what you breathe and ends with a diff consonant.
3:34 pm
tygerbryght

it takes a protractor in order to be able to tr7 something :D

5:21 pm
tygerbryght

I'm having trouble with the DOs - clues lists show 3 do4 before the do6, and I can only find 2 - the one who performs actions and the act of worship (more or less), which leads to the do6
5:21 pm

or do I have them out of order?

it rarely misses a chance to tack an s onto anything, whether or not it's appropriate
5:24 pm

I don't think there's a do5, have do6 and 7
5:25 pm
cjmomma

de4 to win or de4 them
5:25 pm

thx, flosey. how Enable-appropriate, to omit a legit plural or 2nd person verb tense, and have so many wrong ones

I am hoping that little John (4) can avoid a trip to the ER for IV fluids. It would be traumatic for everyone.
5:42 pm
tygerbryght

it's focused on the Psalms, and I love the Psalms
5:42 pm
Scrabbler

Ben is doing well--came in for his Flu shot. Prognosis is uncertain as he has a rare cancer.
5:42 pm
tygerbryght

yes, indeed, scrabs. he's young enough for fluids to be an issue
5:43 pm

still praying for him - as you know, scrabs :)

Never heard of it, thanks, Tyger!

5:43 pm

I am glad he is well now, scrabs.... I think of him, too.
5:43 pm
tygerbryght

jellen, some of the programs are (for my taste) so outre that I can't stand them, but some are just ... delightful
5:44 pm
tygerbryght

not well, pam, alas. just slogging thru treatment
5:44 pm
pam

I meant well for now, not well in general....
5:44 pm
tygerbryght

is he still in denial, scrabs? which, as you said, is probably a fairly healthy way for a teen to cope
5:44 pm
tygerbryght

oh, sorry
5:45 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, because he does not feel ill.
5:45 pm
pam

no sorry necessary--I wasn't very clear....
5:45 pm

5:45 pm

My friend who lived for 6.5 years with a late-staged breast cancer had a healthy case of denial, or so it seemed, even though some of us thought she might be a bit too buried in teh sand, LOL
