5:16 am

5:17 am

herinfernallady

They didn't pick mine but a half finished job then stole all my insides

herinfernallady

So I thought they had used mine then they said no we picked ? and I cracked it burst into tears swore and left the class

6:16 am

bichon

Yes, at Wesleyan

6:18 am

SCRABS..... how r u? and what were the results if I might ask?

Scrabbler

Crossy, we do too. A middle school kid here but with no trip to Mexico and no contacts with H1N1, thus confirming that it is spreading.

6:20 am

bichon

I doubt you'd hear about it in Australia, but here it was awful. It had anti-semitic overtones and a lot of the Jewish students went home til the suspect was in custody

6:20 am

arms, the co7 doesn't really build on a previous word per se, but it starts the same as the previous few. Then it ends with something you might sit on. The whole word makes me think of something you'd sit on in the tropics.

6:36 pm

metaleather

I'm trying my hands at knitting some these days... it goes slowly though.... can't find a method I like for purling. It seems I may have to make everything in straight knit stitch

6:37 pm

suefrad625

I just got that one glc

suefrad625

yahoo GLC

6:41 pm

suefrad625

I am very proud of you

6:41 pm

aknitter

metal if you knit in the round you never have to purl -- try it

6:41 pm

suefrad625

this was a hard grid

6:41 pm

metaleather

congratulations GLC

6:42 pm

metaleather

I'll bear that in mind aknitter... but won't it make it hard to construct afghans and/or pillows?

6:43 pm

aknitter

pillows would be fine just knit a tube and close both ends! blankets would be another story. what do you like to make?

6:44 pm

metaleather

I haven't settled on favorite knitted items yet... haven't done enough knitting. I love to make cables though.

6:45 pm

metaleather

In crochet, I like to make blankets, doilies, etc.

6:45 pm

aknitter

oh me too, cables are so much fun

6:45 pm

metaleather

Knitted socks intrigue me but I'm much too intimidated by them to attempt any

6:46 pm

aknitter

sox can be knit by a method called the magic loop - 1 long needle and in the round. they are fun to make. i only wear hand knit sox once you put a pair on store boughts will never be comfy

6:47 pm

metaleather

I'll look up the magic loop method online later this evening.

6:48 pm

aknitter

metal do you like metal and leather or work with theM?

6:49 pm

metaleather

On a side note... are you an "English" or "Continental" knitter.... and "Eastern" or "Western", "Crossed" or "Uncrossed"?

6:49 pm

metaleather

Yes

6:49 pm

BabbleRabble

I only wear holy socks, cause the longer I wear them, the holier they get

6:50 pm

metaleather

mostly the former rather than the latter

6:50 pm

aknitter

oh BR!

6:50 pm

metaleather

me too BR, lol

6:50 pm

aknitter

i do not knit continental althouhg i can. i prefer throwing the yarn

6:50 pm

aknitter

can't seem to spell though

6:51 pm

metaleather

I find I work faster and more neatly doing Continental... Purling is awkward for me no matter what method I use though, lol@self

6:51 pm

aknitter

there is a method called thumbing the purl - look that up and give it a try. it should help

6:52 pm

aknitter

you could always thumb your nose at BR

6:52 pm

metaleather

I'll try that, thanks

6:52 pm

metaleather

oooooooh, bad timing

6:52 pm

aknitter

which the nose or the purl

6:52 pm

aknitter

tee hee hee

6:53 pm

BabbleRabble

hope you are feeling better, aknitter

6:53 pm

aknitter

thought that would get your attention BR. ty, nice to see you

6:53 pm

BabbleRabble

if the worse thing that happens to me today is some thumbing, it has been an extremely good day

6:54 pm

aknitter

LOL

6:54 pm

aknitter

bad day?

6:54 pm

BabbleRabble

being ignored is not so good

6:55 pm

7:33 pm

Boobear

any j clues please

7:33 pm

pam

hey, hursh... am watching the dvr version--to go through commercials... so far, i have seen danny once and kris once... didn't much like either...

7:33 pm

pam

did you see my facebook message, hursh?

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

me, neither hi all hi pam

7:34 pm

pam

it was house related

7:34 pm

pam

Hi, TO

7:34 pm

hurshy

really? i liked danny's. but then, it was fun to change it at home to dance little kitten, and make marty dance.

7:34 pm

pam

LOL, hursh. I agreed that sign your name was better for Danny, but I don't like Danny much sometimes...

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol hursh danny was ok, no big whoop. i love the u2 song and adam disappointed

7:35 pm

hurshy

oh, thanks pam! ok, so, she just meant about being hurt by what he said. very clever writing, easy to make us think she meant about being with him.

7:35 pm

pam

Haven't seem Adam yet

7:35 pm

hurshy

i didn't care for the song kris did either, but, just cause i thought the song was boring. i bet he could have made it better if he was creative with it.

7:36 pm

pam

I agree, hursh! very clever. I didn't realize last night that I had dvr'd House--I knew I'd watch it. Sorry I didn't check, LOL

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

pam are youi translating house?

7:36 pm

pam

I was REALLY bored by Kris!

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

vrhis is totally boring every week

7:37 pm

pam

No, TO. Hursh had a question about last night's episode and I had it taped so I could answer it.

7:37 pm

hurshy

adam, i felt, well, it was so different from the original that i suppose i could see how some people might like this, as like, a separate thing from the original. i don't happen to be one of them, but clearly the judges felt differently.

7:38 pm

pam

I agree, TO. Don't understand Kris's appeal.

7:38 pm

hurshy

cause what i like about that song is how understated it is, and i'm not really on board with this other version.

7:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like adam. i like u2. i cannot say i liked the arrangement or vocal

7:39 pm

pam

I LOVE this song. But not sure about the arrangement....

7:39 pm

hurshy

yeah, i agree TO. it is always good to find that people feel the same about things.

7:39 pm

pam

I like the understatement in the original, but always want Bono to BELT it out. I mean, why the HELL is AIDS still an epidemic?

7:40 pm

pam

I thought he knocked the ending out of the ballpark. I am now going to hear the judges....

7:40 pm

pam

I agree with Randy that he went off the melody in a way I am not so sure about....

7:41 pm

hurshy

that was driving me crazy not being able to remember what cuddy said and thus see what she actually meant by it, thanks so much for filling me in!!!

7:41 pm

hurshy

i am jumping too much around in my thoughts, lol.

7:41 pm

pam

Hursh, it was my pleasure. Was bothering me, too!

7:41 pm

pam

LOLOL, hursh

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hursh forward it to me i was too confused

7:42 pm

redturtlehead

Good Evening. I have 30 left. On a normal day, I'd be happy to say that!

7:42 pm

pam

Cuddy told him that anyone who got close to him got hurt and that he is an excellent physician, so focus on the second thought. (Am paraphrasing)

7:42 pm

pam

Hi, red!

7:42 pm

pam

LOL, red!!!!!

7:43 pm

metaleather

hi red

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi red

7:44 pm

Have now changed icon for the 8 lettered animal.

7:44 pm

lbdawger

hi red

7:44 pm

pam

what do you mean, metal?

7:45 pm

metaleather

on House... or am I lost, as usual?

7:45 pm

hurshy

sealed the deal on his craziness, i suppose she means.

7:45 pm

pam

How do you mean Kutner sealed the deal? His suicide tipped him?

7:45 pm

pam

Thanks, hursh!

7:46 pm

hurshy

ooh, your explanation makes sense too though.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

and the other dead girl

7:46 pm

metaleather

no.... seeing Kutner provided the last bit of weight needed to tip the scales so he'd realize/accept his craziness

7:46 pm

pam

I LOVE AMber as a ghost, LOL

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

co7please?ty

7:46 pm

hurshy

aha, i was right

7:46 pm

7:48 pm

hurshy

she was also in the pilot episode of psych.

7:48 pm

pam

Never seen Big love.. .had I known she was on it....

7:49 pm

pam

She has been in a lot of things....

7:49 pm

metaleather

I didn't realize that hursh... I'll have to look for it in repeats

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

so they are trying to fill some BIG shoes vis a vis song choices

7:49 pm

Pinikula

Scrabbler

I should have seen that--it has been in grids in the past. TY

9:48 pm

BabbleRabble

my rhododendron finished this one in 22 minutes

9:48 pm

Jacula

Hope Nut's not around to see my icon for 'animals with 8 letters' or she'll shoot at it.

9:48 pm

Scrabbler

I missed d6 above, then just 3 Ps

9:48 pm

Scrabbler

Hi jac

9:48 pm

Jacula

BR - you have a very clever shrub.

9:49 pm

Jacula

Hi Scrabbs. How are the bunnies?

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

Very sweet, Jacula. Especially my real life snuggle-bunny+ bedmate Sebastian.

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

How are your guinea pigs?

9:50 pm

Jacula

BR - timing's about right for finishing the grid in one go. That's about how long it takes me to drink my morning (BIG) cuppa.

9:50 pm

Minveryork

A da 6/25 is Matt Da***, add an extra vowel in middle.

9:50 pm

BabbleRabble

da 6 -- add, first person singular and ***day, ***day, can't trust that day

9:50 pm

Jacula

Do you still have the one you adopted, Stid?

9:50 pm

Scrabbler

TY, BR

Scrabbler

9:51 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, May 31st will be 1 yr since I became her fosterer. I changed her name from Bijou to Miss Beatrix Potter, Miss B for short.

9:54 pm

BabbleRabble

has your sister found a job she likes, Scrabbler?

9:54 pm

Scrabbler

All done! I haven't finished a grid in weeks. TY all for clues.

9:54 pm

BabbleRabble

Congrats, Scrabbler

9:54 pm

Jacula

Sweet, Scrabbs. You'll have to send me some pics of her.

9:54 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Scrabbler on fireworks!Good for you

9:54 pm

Jacula

Well done on finishing the grid.

9:55 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, she started with a relaxed, caring firm about 2 mo ago and is very happy, probably happiest job setting for her in her career.

9:55 pm

Scrabbler

I will, Jac

9:55 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - I think I saw you some days ago, wondering about your own job? Any decisions made yet?

9:55 pm

Jacula

Thanks, re the pics, Scrabbs.

9:56 pm

BabbleRabble

Good for her, Scrabbler

9:57 pm

Scrabbler

Still in talking phase with new group--I am optimistic as they continue to ask me questions. At my current practice we had a 4 hr "retreat" today, for the docs, and it clarified my decision to escape ASAP.

9:58 pm

BabbleRabble

Hope you too find your niche, Scrabbler

9:58 pm

Jacula

Hope you make a happy escape soon, Scrabbs, especially if you can put Mr. Richard Head into your past.

9:58 pm

Scrabbler

BR, the firm is led by a low-key, kind man that wants to provide good law services and he is not money-hungry or power/prestige focused.

9:58 pm

BabbleRabble

Indeed, Scrabbler, a rarity these days.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Niche, that's the word I was looking for, BR.

9:59 pm

Jacula

(Not in the grid, btw. Have done that.) LOL

9:59 pm

Scrabbler

I am so ready to leave my current situation and to escape the abuse.

10:00 pm

Jacula

It's terrible to hear anyone of your age talk about abuse at work, Scrabbs. What is wrong with the world today? Why are people so pushy and aggressive?

10:01 pm

Scrabbler

He is an egotistic, narcissistic, critical, controlling nut case.

10:01 pm

autumn moon

hi all
So, I see there are 48 words. Do I start or do I walk away?

10:01 pm

Jacula

These reality TV programmes don' t help to make a more measured approach to life, I think. TV has far more influence than it should on the young.

10:02 pm

Jacula

Hi Autumn. It's doable.

10:02 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fello babblers! I'll see you tomorrow!

10:02 pm

'Night Min. Sleep well.x

10:02 pm

rururocks

scrab are you talking about me?

10:02 pm

Scrabbler

Check out Bob Sutton's book, "The No A$$hole Rule." I e-mailed Bob after I read it 2 yrs ago and his words (in the book and the e-mail) began my real journey to escape.

10:02 pm

BabbleRabble

Scrabbler, what are his bad points?

10:02 pm

Scrabbler

Do it, Autumn!

10:03 pm

Jacula

LOL BR.

10:03 pm

Scrabbler

Haha Ruru & BR!!

Hi, all

Hi Ruru.

Scrabs, who is at a new firm?

Scrabbler

Hi Pam

hello jac..

And, WHY IS CHENEY STILL TALKING TORTURE??? Rachel Maddow is covering tonight... GRRRR.

10:03 pm

pythonx

just got home from seeing the new Star Trek movie

10:03 pm

Scrabbler

My sister, after losing her job in Nov, found a great place 2 mo ago.

10:03 pm

Jacula

Hi pam.

10:04 pm

pam

Hi, scrabs and jac and babler and ruru

10:04 pm

rururocks

I think providing assholes a lot of toilet paper gets the point across

10:04 pm

pam

Oh, that is great, Scrabs--glad for her!

10:04 pm

Jacula

python - my son saw that a couple of nights ago. What did you think of it?

10:04 pm

pam

LOLOL, ruru

10:04 pm

Scrabbler

She does corporate/business law, and that is all I understand of her work.

10:04 pm

rururocks

maybe a couple of cases...

10:04 pm

pythonx

i'm still deciding whether i like it or not

10:05 pm

Jacula

That's what he said, too, python.

10:05 pm

pam

I heard it was good, jac... great character portrayal

10:05 pm

rururocks

like what?

10:05 pm

Scrabbler

Ruru, I do feel pity for him as he is so conflicted inside, so confused, so defensive, that I do feel sorry for him. He drives people away.

10:05 pm

pythonx

the casting was all spot on, except maybe Kird

10:05 pm

pythonx

Kirk rather

10:05 pm

rururocks

go above him and let his superior know what a jerk they have hired

10:05 pm

Jacula

But Vulcans talking about feelings and stuff? That doesn't happen. Except it did in the new film.

10:06 pm

rururocks

vulcans don't feel

10:06 pm

Jacula

That is not logical!

10:06 pm

rururocks

unless Captain kirk has his clothes off

10:06 pm

Scrabbler

Ruru, he is the boss and owner--no other doc has ever wanted to be his financial partner, including me---too risky.

10:07 pm

pythonx

yes, but spock is half human, and still young as well as fully mature, so on one hand he is still deciding who he is (young spock) yet already has learned what is important (old spock)

10:07 pm

rururocks

ooops.. nm scrabs.. time for a new job

10:07 pm

Jacula

Now, ruru, you're just talking about that spoof on Youtube now, now that real Startrek.

10:07 pm

rururocks

brokeback star trek

10:08 pm

Jacula

python - I did suggest that to my son, but he told me other older Vulcans were doing the feelings stuff, too.

10:08 pm

Scrabbler

Bob Sutton's advice, if you work for or with an a$$hole, is (1) leave, if you can, or (2) practice emotional detachment. #2 has helped a lot, but some recent direct attacks (I have saved the e-mails) prompted me to plan a departure.

10:08 pm

pythonx

yes, spock's father was rather illogical for a vulcan

10:08 pm

rururocks

Older vulcans are on vulcan social security

10:09 pm

rururocks

smart thinking scrabs.. doesn

10:09 pm

rururocks

doesn't sound too good there

10:09 pm

pam

I am glad you are being proactive, scrabs.

10:09 pm

pam

I am sorry; once again distracted!

10:09 pm

pythonx

all of things are a real departure from the original series and movies

10:09 pm

pythonx

*alot of things*

10:10 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs unless you're a fully-paid into the idea Buddhist, you only get once shot at life and so you must leave when your life is made bad by work.

10:10 pm

rururocks

and I wander ... I wa wa wa wa wander...

10:10 pm

pam

I am transfixed by this whole torture thing, ruru....

10:10 pm

Jacula

I haven't seen the film yet, so can't comment with any real opinions.

10:10 pm

rururocks

torture?

10:11 pm

pythonx

scrabs, i quit my job in sept because of intolerable conditions. i haven't found another yet, but i still know it was the right thing to do.

10:11 pm

pam

yeah, Cheney and keeping it at the top of the talking points....

10:11 pm

Jacula

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? My Little Runaway.

10:11 pm

Scrabbler

The other 2 docs and the 3 nurse practitioners all agree with me, and we support one another, but I am the only one with a spine, so I challenge him and stand up to him (justice and fairness is very important to me) thus I am the target of his wrath. I am the rebel/renegade of the office and the staff admires me for that.

10:11 pm

rururocks

I can't quit my job

10:12 pm

rururocks

uh oh scrabs.. if he is an asshole.. watch out

10:12 pm

pam

while you are there, I am glad you can do that, scrabs.

10:12 pm

pam

I am sure that you will be leaving them a legacy of spinefulness

10:12 pm

rururocks

and i wander.. where she may beeeeeeeeeeeeeee

10:12 pm

Jacula

Are we doing Karaoke, ruru?

10:13 pm

rururocks

my lil runaway.. a run run run run runaway...

10:13 pm

rururocks

yes

10:13 pm

pythonx

we have had to tighten our belts to breaking and we are just getting by, but i believe i would have lost my mind if i stayed any longer

10:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I have taught many of the staff to have self-respect and to always do what is right. We have had a recent exodus of nurses due to bullying problems.

10:14 pm

rururocks

you can't work in horrible conditions.

10:14 pm

rururocks

it causes too much long term body effects

10:14 pm

rururocks

nurses and doctors are in high, high demand

10:15 pm

rururocks

hospitals are the only businesses hiring

10:15 pm

Scrabbler

Python, every Sunday I get anxious, wondering what notes from him I will find at work on Monday, or intraoffice e-mail.

send that bastard to me scrabs and I will set him straight

10:15 pm

rururocks

lol

10:15 pm

Scrabbler

The other 2 docs are insecure, passive, spineless docs.

10:15 pm

pam

I think it's time for me to really wander..... good luck, scrabs. He needs to be taken down 4 pegs.

10:15 pm

rururocks

ooops I am cussing

rururocks

awww pammmo

10:16 pm

pythonx

Scrabs, i was taking tranquilizers to get through the day

10:16 pm

Scrabbler

I would like to do that, Ruru, but he has a big cranium and big balls.

10:16 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Pam!

10:16 pm

rururocks

the bigger the balls the bigger the target

10:17 pm

pythonx

scrabs, you have another job in mind, don't you?

10:17 pm

rururocks

I should shut up now

10:17 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Python, the ongoing stress, anxiety, fear of the next attack, etc is too much, physically, emotionally and mentally.

10:17 pm

Scrabbler

Even his wife is a submissive Stepford wife.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Big balls can be kicked, Scrabbs, Usually brings the owner down like a fallen redwood.

10:18 pm

Scrabbler

I do, python--begging a local group to take me.

10:18 pm

Jacula

I posted the Del Shannon track for us all to listen to.
