i ordered a t-shirt earlier this week and they gave me a tracking code to enter at (well known UK postal service) however when i enter it i am told "items are only tracked after the item has been delivered" - so what is the point!
5:57 am
Mom01

how silly, bfsog
6:00 am
bfsog
i know, so when it pops through my door obviously i know its delivered, then they expect me to track it online to be told its delivered. wow, really?!
6:01 am
sprite
they already accept the fact they often misdeliver and want to be able to see where it went wrong?
6:01 am
Mom01
what delivery company bf?
6:02 am
bfsog
well i dont know, when i enter the track code i get no info regarding parcels location, i think its standard practice. i guess the track code comes in handy if im not here to accept it, then i can find out which sorting office it was taken to
6:02 am
sprite
I sent a package to aussie once and I could track it up until the dutch border... after that, nothing.
6:03 am

BabbleRabble
pita Look up pita at Dictionary.com
"thick, flat bread," 1951, from Modern Heb. pita or Modern Gk. petta "bread," perhaps from Gk. peptos "cooked," or somehow connected to pizza (q.v.).

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

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

Yahoo, JBV, I am honored to be in your presence.
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
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
Pinikula
[t]here = place; [t]heir = person; they're = people doing
9:34 am
Pinikula
(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
kje
hi pam, pini, jbv, scrab
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
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
9:39 am
Scrabbler
Argh, so confusing!
9:39 am
Scrabbler
Hi Doren
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
9:40 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

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

someone take the keyboard away from hurshy
9:40 am

yay hurshy! :D
9:40 am
pam
Hurshy, as usual, you slay me!

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

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!
9:48 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
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
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

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

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
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

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

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

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.

I still have mine from elementary school...denim covered!

dcseain
yes, jbv, the denimy ones?
10:04 am
kje
yes jbv... my older sibling had them and stuck stikcers on them
10:04 am

the cool thing for us were the plastic ones with cool patterns
10:04 am

I guess, I never thought of them as denim, but light blue cotton, soft to the touch
10:05 am

The most important consideration for me and binder-picking was "can I draw on it?"

dalenmiles
I saw that st one because I have a medical backgroumnd

Must be like vampires hating garlic. Be afraid of people who don't like ice cream. They're obviously some kind of alien beings.

tr 6-7 combo, please?
3:28 pm
parsec
I could also use the tr7 just before it.
3:28 pm
tygerbryght
hey, peeps
3:28 pm
cybernan
tr 7: cut in three
3:29 pm
tygerbryght
do any of the AI words NOT start with the word for atmosphere?
3:29 pm
parsec
The combo sounds a bit like a meter word in poetry
3:30 pm
cybernan
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
tygerbryght
thx, vicuna. could I have a clue? there's *nothing* in any of the word lists :(
3:34 pm
parsec
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
3:35 pm
cybernan
thanks parsec
3:35 pm
mixi6
first wr5 help?
3:35 pm
parsec
plural dry humor, mixi.
3:36 pm
cybernan
that rings a bell, tyger -- but I haven't studied or used geometry for 47 years!
3:36 pm
tygerbryght
oh, not with a vowel?
3:36 pm
cybernan
t's done
3:36 pm
Vicuna
But you'll be using a different r to get there!
3:36 pm
tygerbryght
vicuna, is your daughter a bit of a mischief-maker? I just looked at your profile - what a cute grin!!
3:37 pm
Vicuna
lol, tyger. The icon's leftover from crazy hair day. She's 6 now and actually very docile and easy-going, but she does have a most infectious giggle.
3:38 pm
tygerbryght
OH! I see it now. thanks *so* much for the hint!!!
3:38 pm
tygerbryght
you should put up a more recent photo. let us see the changes :)

3:39 pm
Vicuna
Yay for cybernan!
3:39 pm
tygerbryght
may I ask about your nic? do you have a special interest in S. America, or some other reason for the choice?
3:39 pm
parsec
Can I assume the two ao's are a combo having to do with arteries?
3:40 pm
tygerbryght
nan, it's been even longer since I studied geometry - more than 50 years
3:40 pm
Vicuna
No special reason, really. I just like all the camelids.

I have an alpaca/wool blend sweater that's too heavy and warm to wear here in MS. I used to wear it in Michigan
3:43 pm
Vicuna
Go, tygerbryght, go!
3:43 pm
JBV

tyger, I have all the a's - the last two are ar 5 (not bro) and the ar 4, B.A., etc. so if you're missing a 4 it's before those
3:56 pm
tygerbryght
my "method" - if you can call it that, is to get all the words I can just find, then go back and go thru with the clue list, in case this sounds weird
3:57 pm
tygerbryght
the clue list I'm working from is une's and she shows 4,4, 5, 6, 7, 5, 4, 4

no, after the 5 there is only one ar 4

5:23 pm
tygerbryght
what's even worse is that I've got a do5 that should come before the do6 - that's not in the clue lists
5:23 pm
tygerbryght
thx, flosey
5:23 pm
tygerbryght
that still leaves me with a do5. is it another one that Enable stupidly doesn't include??
5:24 pm
flosey
have that cheese cj, it's the greek one?
5:24 pm
tygerbryght
it rarely misses a chance to tack an s onto anything, whether or not it's appropriate
5:24 pm
flosey
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
tygerbryght
thx, flosey. how Enable-appropriate, to omit a legit plural or 2nd person verb tense, and have so many wrong ones
5:26 pm
tygerbryght
and there's the notorious case of no plural of Hawaiian geese :P which is in all dictionaries
5:27 pm
tygerbryght
well, back to work
5:27 pm
cjmomma

5:28 pm

5:34 pm
pam
My life is boring lately, LOL. And you, scrabs?
5:34 pm
Scrabbler
You got it, mixi!!
5:34 pm
pam
Oh, and I read more of my Lincoln book--Tried by War
5:34 pm
Scrabbler
Boring is good.
5:35 pm
pam
In my head, I have started the Heartworm piece....
5:35 pm
pam
I don't know that it's good, but it isn't bad, either, LOLOL
5:36 pm

Jellen
Yup. Good analogy!
5:36 pm
tygerbryght

5:38 pm
tygerbryght
I'm sure we all understand, cj. I just got back from one
5:39 pm
pam
Yes, tyger, for laypeople, for a newsletter....
5:39 pm
tygerbryght
there are some weeks when I devoutly wish that Sound & Spirit was available to rehear
5:39 pm
kje
ri4/7 - overflowing with..., and more so
5:39 pm
tygerbryght
oh. explaining why they need to get their dogs tested, and give them the pills (or whatever)
5:39 pm
pam
what is sound & spirit, tyger?
5:40 pm
JBV
oh, just found the 5, thanks kje - have them all now
5:40 pm
pam
yes, tyger, and what it is and how horrid, and how preventive is so much better than treatment....
5:40 pm
Scrabbler
Phone call done--Mary's son has been ill since Friday night with vomiting..whole family is ill and Dad is trying to manage.
5:40 pm
tygerbryght
it's an eclectic music program on NPR, that always has some religious, spiritual, etc., connection
5:40 pm
tygerbryght
oh, my, scrabs. I will be sure to put that on the list!!
5:41 pm
pam
ahhh, tyger, thanks...
5:41 pm
tygerbryght
how old, scrabs? I can't remember
5:41 pm
pam
Oh, scrabs, that is just cruel. I so want that family to be in a bubble for a bit....
5:41 pm
tygerbryght
this week it's mostly Xian, and has some wonderful classical stuff
5:42 pm
Scrabbler
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
tygerbryght
still praying for him - as you know, scrabs :)
5:43 pm
pam
Never heard of it, thanks, Tyger!
5:43 pm
Jellen
I've enjoyed that program when I've caught it on the radio, tyger.
5:43 pm
tygerbryght
and his family, of course
5:43 pm
pam
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
tygerbryght
that's a blessing, in the circumstances
5:45 pm
tygerbryght
I assume that - all things going well - it's likely to be a while before there's news about Sabrina, one way or the other
5:46 pm
pam
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
5:46 pm
pam
who is sabrina?
5:46 pm
Scrabbler
Sabrina is early in her course of chemo.
5:47 pm
Scrabbler
Sabrina is an 11 yr old in our practice, recently diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, Stage IVB.
5:47 pm
tygerbryght
scrabs tells me about her scary cases, so my group & I can pray for them
5:47 pm
tygerbryght

5:47 pm
Jellen
Hi, Krista
5:47 pm
Krista

5:48 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Krista! I haven't seen you in a while! How are you?
5:48 pm
pam
Oh... how traumatic. I will add her to my thoughts.... is that the lymphoma Jackie O had or was that non-Hodgkins... I get them confused
5:48 pm
Krista
i had stage 3
5:48 pm
Scrabbler
You had Hodgkin's when you were youngre, right, krista?
5:48 pm
tygerbryght

5:49 pm
Krista

5:49 pm
tygerbryght
I feel like one (August 2005), but there aren't too many from 2004

5:54 pm
tygerbryght
aw, jellen. it's at least part genetic - but I grew up in the same house with 2 oral historians
5:54 pm
Scrabbler
flosey, do you have the te5 and 6 combo?
5:55 pm
flosey
yes, te and I'll be happy if it doesn't ***n

Here is the Scrabbler style of cooking: make a huge pot of couscous (3 boxes), pour in 2 cans of diced tomatoes, then add steamed broccoli. I have enought for several meals this work week.
