those were really bothering me and never would have gotten them on my own

4:16 am

Atalante

how's Merp, Eva?

4:17 am

Eva

very well thank you. Except that he's taken to lurking in the bathroom at night and biting my feet when I'm peeing. Makes it rather hard to get back to sleep. How are your animal companions?

4:18 am

Eva

tell me their names again?

4:18 am

lynxxx

kinky cat!

4:18 am

Atalante

looool that's inventive!

4:18 am

Atalante

Hobbit and Silverclaw :)

4:18 am

Eva

yes indeed. Foot fetishist

4:18 am

Atalante

they are fine:) snoring away!

4:18 am

Eva

That's right! Silverclaw is such a stunner

4:19 am

Atalante

she really is. I have a beauty queen cat somehow!

4:21 am

Atalante

I almost wish I hadn't got her spayed, any kittens would be so beautiful. But she's so small. Her mum had a hard time with her litter, and Sily would be the same

4:23 am

warthog

are there any j words?

4:23 am

Eva

I know. I feel the same way about Merp. Merp kittens would have been wonderful, but I just can't bring more kittens into the world. The local gway garden store always has one or two cats from the animal shelter, disaplyed in the store. They have a great adoption rate. The one this week, a wonderful silver tabby, nearly broke my heart. He was talking to me, reaching his paws through the cage and trying to pull me into it. If I had the space and money I'd adopt every stray I came across but I don't.

4:23 am

Eva

no j words

4:23 am

warthog

thanks eva

4:24 am

Atalante

me too! I'd happily be a mad cat lady. And dog lady.

4:24 am

Atalante

But it really wouldn't have been fair on Silverclaw to make her have a litter. She's more important than any potential pretty kittens

4:24 am

Eva

and turtles, rabbits, raccoons, owls, anything abandoned or injured.

4:24 am

Atalante

yep!

4:25 am

Atalante

except maybe raccoons. They have claws

4:25 am

crosshair

my wife is just as bad,ive managed to halt her at 3 cats

4:25 am

Atalante

I MUST trim Sily's claws today

4:26 am

crosshair

monkey,abracadabra and serius black

4:26 am

Atalante

such good names

4:26 am

Atalante

it's funny, there must be a correlation between word love and animal love

4:26 am

Atalante

I don't think there a single babbler that doesn'tlove animals

4:27 am

crosshair

abby is hers and serius is mine;

4:27 am

Eva

When I lived in the city I used to dream of opening a shelter and involving kids from the inner city who aren't able to have pets of their own, and who so desperately need to create relational bonds with someone. The idea was that they would get to "adopt" one of the foundlings, come after school and on weekends to take care of that animal, and to prepare it for a good home. Then, as they got more experienced, they would train new kids to be caretakers.

4:27 am

crosshair

and monkey owns everyone

4:27 am

Atalante

what a wonderful idea!

4:28 am

Atalante

Hobbit is definitely mine. Sily's just about more mine than husband's. But only just

4:28 am

crosshair

eva,they have a similar program up here for problem kis in the juvinile detention system,they take suitable shelter pets and train them as servive animals

4:28 am

crosshair

kids even

4:28 am

crosshair

service animals

4:29 am

Eva

Thats wonderful cross. I know they do the same thing in many prisons.

4:29 am

lynxxx

Along the same lines, the greyhound adoption agency I got Stew from also uses as their interim fosters a country prison

4:30 am

Atalante

awwww

4:31 am

Eva

Merp uses the two of us for very different things. I am definitely "mommy"-the source of food, comfort, safety. My partner is alpha cat, the source of excitement, male rough play. Merp likes i tbest when he can have both of us at the same time.

4:31 am

crosshair

years ago my wife had a pom that was a service dog for retirement homes,she used to go to the three local homes twice a week with er dog,she would shampoo queenie and put bows in her hair and visit the seniors

4:32 am

Atalante

when Hobbit's calmed down a bit more - in a year or two - I want to do the same with her. Minus the ribbons.

4:32 am

crosshair

hobbits a rabbit?

4:32 am

lynxxx

A friend of mine was going to do that with her st. poodle. Quite an extensive selection and then preparation required here

4:33 am

Eva

Yes, Hobbit doesn't look like the ribbon type.

4:33 am

Atalante

no! LOL. But go round retirement homes as a petting dog

4:33 am

Atalante

yep, I'd have to get her officially trained

4:34 am

Eva

Thinking of Merp as a service animal has me smiling. Of service to himself, for sure, like all cats.

4:34 am

crosshair

just discovered that there is a new bookworm out;))

4:34 am

crosshair

bookworm adventures 2;))

4:34 am

Atalante

service cats. now there's an oxymoron

4:34 am

lynxxx

How old is Merp now Eva?

4:34 am

Atalante

oxymoron? is that the word I want?

4:35 am

crosshair

we are currently training serius black to a halter and a leash;))

4:35 am

Eva

He does, however, respond to emotional distress. If you are crying he will come and sit on your chest. Merp is somewhere between 15 and 16, but looks and acts much younger.

4:35 am

Atalante

Sily has a halter and lead too :)

4:36 am

lynxxx

yes Ata

4:36 am

Atalante

TY! I always get confused with words like that

4:36 am

crosshair

hehe,wife seems to think he has the temperment and would love to get kitty out for walkies

4:36 am

Eva

Merp, who is not allowed to ever go out because of predators close by, has sometimes gone out on a leash and halter. He loves it. Being the human on the other end of the least is not so enjoyable though, unless you enjoy being dragged through undergrowth

4:37 am

crosshair

lol eva

4:37 am

lynxxx

BBL need to prep for an apple pie

4:37 am

Atalante

mmm!

4:38 am

crosshair

ohhh..home made apple pie...

4:38 am

Eva

And off cliff edges, and spending hours sniffing invisible things, and of course staying out forever. Plus, it does lead to rising expectations, and seems to make it more frustrating for him to be house bound after, so I've stopped doing it.

4:38 am

crosshair

with the dutch style topping;)))

4:38 am

Atalante

that's why I don't take Sily out much - the rising expectations thing

4:38 am

Eva

He does have two porches he can go out on, but it doesn't satsify that need to roam free.

4:39 am

crosshair

mmm ,never thought of that..one outing and he may become a pain about it

4:39 am

Eva

think I'll try to get a bit more sleep. See you all later.

4:40 am

Atalante

I usually take Sily out in the rain so she dashes back inside and decides she hates the outside

5:10 am

mrpresident

no, is an infection... had it in the crossword today

5:12 am

lynxxx

I had a friend once who who worked for Sate government health planning new hospitals...the things he told me. You wouldn't go into one!

5:14 am

Atalante

it's when they start sending people home because it's safer for them to recuperate at home ...

5:17 am

BabbleRabble

the ia 6 reminded me of a word that literally means: physician producing in the context of treatment-related complications

5:17 am

lynxxx

Good idea really! After one hospital stay I had a nurse come each day to change dressings etc. It was great, much better than being in hospital. Had chemo done at home too - again much better

5:17 am

Atalante

yep, that's the nice ia6:)

5:26 am

Atalante

awww hobbit's flopping on my feet. she so wants a walk but can't have one yet

5:28 am

lynxxx

do you have to take her back to the vets or are you just being cautious?

5:29 am

Atalante

nope, no return visit now. she's obviously still a bit stiff and limpy though, so she's not getting proper walks till the weekend

5:31 am

maybe I'll take her for another wander round the garden

OK... can you clue the wh 8 and the wh 5/22, please? I am missing three w's... and those are two of them...

5:54 am

wh8 is a bird, I think. cereal + organ

My aunt, my mother's sister, 89, died at home Monday--found dead by my cousin. Autopsy showed a heart attack. She never wanted to end up in a nursing home or hospital before she died. Although we are sad she is gone (funeral tomorrow) we are glad it ended this way for her.

11:24 am

Gail

Ohdarn. Lost control of my fingers again.

11:24 am

jmcnrick

hi gail

11:26 am

dcseain

11:27 am

BabbleRabble

Hobbit emulated Sir Edmund Hillary, "Because it was there."

11:27 am

jmcnrick

does ladder mean something in brit than it means in american?

11:27 am

jmcnrick

lol BR

11:28 am

Atalante

11:28 am

jmcnrick

omg it's a ladder to the beach!

11:28 am

Atalante

11:28 am

rbud

Atalante

11:29 am

jmcnrick

We Brits are hardy. No point in going to the beach if you can't get down a ladder.

11:29 am

Atalante

not that bit of beach no

11:29 am

Haz1558

No point in things being easy.

11:30 am

jmcnrick

hardy is an understatement -- no little kids allowed on that bit a beach!

11:30 am

Haz1558

Sure, you only end up having the breath knocked out of you by the wind.

11:31 am

Atalante

11:31 am

Atalante

11:31 am

jmcnrick

11:32 am

Haz1558

1:41 pm

dcseain

hi, EvaNadine :)

1:43 pm

Atalante

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

Pat Robertson just announced that you shouldn't buy candy at this time of year because witches pray over it and put demons in your body if you eat it

2:40 pm

CadFan

Well - that explains a lot about Mr. Robertson

2:41 pm

Atalante

who is Pat Robertson?

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

at least he is safe from demons (at least those demons)

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

hi cad

2:41 pm

periwinkle

aha, I am in the grid again :-)

2:41 pm

CadFan

Hello :)

2:41 pm

Michnick

And what do the leprachauns do in March to the candy?

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

Pat Robertson is what is known as a "television evangelist" and is notorious for forbidding interracial dating at his college

2:42 pm

lynxxx

hi Cadfan & Mich

2:42 pm

CadFan

Please - don't you know Leprechauns are merely demons in disguise??

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

what those cute little green things are evil?!?!?

2:42 pm

Atalante

ohhhh

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

hi mich

2:43 pm

CadFan

Yes - and so are extramarital affairs.. for everyone BUT Pat Robertson.

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

and stating that 9/11 was caused by the gays

2:43 pm

Michnick

Ahh, lovely. Hi everyone!! I got all dressed in orange & black the other day and we don't even HAVE halloween here.

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

was it a political statement mich?

2:44 pm

lynxxx

really, the things that are allowed on american tv!

2:44 pm

Michnick

Are there people that actually pay attention to that guy? No political statement, just first day cool enough to wear my orange sweater!

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

i would be surprised if you did mich since it is the eve of all saints day that the spirits run around since they can't go out the next day

2:44 pm

CadFan

My sentiments exactly Lynxxx Pat Robertson is indeed a thing

2:44 pm

dcseain

Pat Robertson is wack

2:45 pm

CadFan

I believe I have also heard him referred to as a "tool"

2:45 pm

Michnick

I never knew that. (About the spirits not being allowed out the next day)

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

but amusing to listen to

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

that is why they have to party hardy on halloween

2:46 pm

Michnick

What is a tool in this context? (Of course I am old enough to remember gay meaing happy and Bad meaning BAD)

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

hmm a tool is a polite term for a**h***

2:47 pm

Michnick

Got it, sounds like it fits.

2:47 pm

CadFan

"A tool is usually someone who is unwelcome but no one has the balls to tell them to get lost. A tool is alwasys making comments that are out-of-place, out-of-line or just plain stupid."

2:48 pm

lynxxx

perfect def Cadfan

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

the def i found says someone who is so stupid hedoesn't know he is being used

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

i like cadfan's better

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

bbl I am going home

2:51 pm

CadFan

If heared it used in that context jmcnrick

2:52 pm

lynxxx

bye for now jmc

2:52 pm

CadFan

That should read: I have heard it used in that context"

2:53 pm

The opinions stated by me are not intended to offend anyone - they are simply that.. mine.

Okay, have to mention this, in regards the Robertson comment about Halloween candy earlier.... check out the Huffington Post, which shows photos of specific candy to avoid... like, "Mike & Ike's - the original fruits" - LOL!! www.huffingtonpost.com

Must admit, I try to be very respectful of others' opinions, especially faith-based... but I have a difficult time taking Robertson seriously. Hope no one is offended :)

3:20 pm

dcseain

i concur, ch12

3:21 pm

dcseain

he scared me as a child

3:22 pm

ch1212

That's sad, dc. No child should be scared when learning about God -- any image of God.

3:25 pm

dcseain

eh, the Sunday School at Good Shepherd United Methodist taught me to reject Xian teachings at the age of nine. No one ever answered any of my questions, nor could they give an evidence to support several of their claims.

3:25 pm

5:27 pm

crosshair

it folds/unfolds human protiens in the hopes of finding cures for many diseases,including cancer

5:27 pm

herinfernallady

Ok

5:27 pm

crosshair

if you go to the site you can read up on it herin

5:28 pm

herinfernallady

O My pc is a little bit hungry with stuff

5:29 pm

herinfernallady

ANd I have no idea why now I have to click enter and then if i go to another page this one doesn't load. It never did that

5:30 pm

crosshair

mm strange,just google folding at home client and read up on it.trust me i only bring up safe sites in the chog

5:30 pm

JBV

hi jai - the 9 looks like a medication to increase urine production, with an extra vowel

5:31 pm

JBV

sorry, a different vowel, i meant

5:32 pm

herinfernallady

HI JBV and Jai

5:32 pm

JBV

hi herin and crossy

5:33 pm

crosshair

anyways,ive been on my soapbox holding forth long enough,ill hand the floor over now;)

5:33 pm

crosshair

howdy jbv

5:33 pm

jaianniah

sorry JBV, I still am not getting it, but I thank you for helping!!!!

5:34 pm

herinfernallady

Well I don't mind Crossei

5:34 pm

JBV

ok, i'll jump in - just got back from a very inspiring seminar with Alan November - does anyone know him? he is on a quest to drag the education establishment into the 21st century with technology -

5:35 pm

herinfernallady

JBV we have computer labs at tafe that is meant ot be new and shiney and all that and they rarely work

5:36 pm

JBV

I am certainly not in the forefront of anything, but I am more than a little dismayed at how reluctant many of my colleagues are to even consider what's out there

5:36 pm

jaianniah

Can anyone helpme with the 9?

5:37 pm

JBV

i'll try again, jai - start with anne frank's ***ry, then add someone who goes against religious doctrine, a h*******

5:37 pm

herinfernallady

I don't have it sorry

5:37 pm

jaianniah

Thanks, JBV!!!! I got it!!!

5:38 pm

JBV

this guy was smart, funny, but essentially revolutionary if you think that it's revolutionary to have schools in 2009 not look like they did in 1950 or 1850 for that matter

5:38 pm

jaianniah

It was that first vowel...

5:40 pm

herinfernallady

I think that the teachers should be paid too.

5:40 pm

Joanne123

not getting it so first letter please

5:40 pm

JBV

paid for what, herin?

5:41 pm

JBV

joanne, those clues were for the di 9

5:41 pm

Joanne123

ty

5:41 pm

herinfernallady

Teach

5:41 pm

JBV

um, I think most teachers are paid to teach, herin, not sure what you mean

5:42 pm

herinfernallady

Ok let me rephrase that. I feel its disgraceful that the teachers are paid stuff all

5:42 pm

JBV

ok, wait, that looks exactly opposite what you said before - what is your vision, herin

5:44 pm

herinfernallady

I feel that Teachers and more so helpers in schools should be paid to care and teach. You think about it. You have someone that is a teacher a carer a listener and they are not paid enough. Nor do some parents have the guts to say yes my kid is a turd and yes they deserve teh detention

5:44 pm

Boobear

clue for pr 8 pls

5:44 pm

JBV

i'm processing that herin ........

5:45 pm

herinfernallady

I am very fortunate to go to a Uni that has computers and teachers taht care and send you to counsellors if you need help.

5:45 pm

JBV

teachers should care and listen and are not paid enough - I agree

5:46 pm

Joanne123

how many words today please

5:46 pm

JBV

181, joanne

5:46 pm

herinfernallady

Sorryu Bo I don't ahve it. Joanne 181 sorry

5:46 pm

Boobear

181

5:47 pm

Joanne123

5:47 pm

jacq

pr8, it is an extension of the 5 letter word in the grid that an accountant does, or what the tax man does

5:48 pm

jacq

the pr is a ***fix

5:48 pm

JBV

merci, jacq!

5:48 pm

herinfernallady

I had some wonderful teachers in school and some idiot parents that thought the sun shone out of their kids butt even if the kids got the whole class a detention it was never their kids fault

5:48 pm

jacq

yvw

5:49 pm

JBV

herin do you remember who is our babbler from Perth?

5:49 pm

JBV

yep,we know those parents, too

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

Um Yes Anike? or something similar

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

Um there is Lore too

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

Lore is not her name but that is what i remember her as

5:51 pm

herinfernallady

Why/

5:53 pm

JBV

ok thanks

5:54 pm

Boobear

not getting the pr 8 at all

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Eh why?

5:54 pm

JBV

well from the workshop we got ideas about putting classes together for projects and I work in Perth Amboy so I thought it would be interesting to see if we could hook up with a teacher in Perth Australia

5:55 pm

JBV

you know, what we used to call "pen pals" but now they do everything online, Skype, etc.

5:56 pm

momof5

pr* + ***** (what the I.R.S.) does to investigate your taxes

5:57 pm

herinfernallady

Oh cool. I don't know if Anika is a teacher. Lore is in health care

6:00 pm

JBV

he showed us a project where a teacher in England and one in Massachusetts had their kids set up a virtual courtroom and took roles of prosecutor and defendant in the Battle of Lexington (known here as the Lexington Massacre, and of course by a different name entirely in UK)

6:00 pm

herinfernallady

Oh wow that is cool

6:01 pm

JBV

it was about learning about historical perspective and how each of their textbooks were so different in the way they presented it

6:02 pm

herinfernallady

I do love how technowledgy works

6:02 pm

herinfernallady

sorry I need to spell

6:02 pm

JBV

I think anyone with an ounce of creativity and imagination would be so eager to try out these ideas in the classroom, but it really is not part of the current thinking and teachers would have to be first, convinced, and then trained - the kids already know how to do these things

6:03 pm

JBV

nice new word, herin

6:03 pm

herinfernallady

sorry about my really poor spelling

6:03 pm

JBV

i like it - techknowledgy

6:03 pm

JBV

i might borrow it

6:04 pm

herinfernallady

O please dont that is a lot embarising

6:04 pm

herinfernallady

Ok that is it I give up with my typing

6:04 pm

JBV

that one I won't borrow :)

6:06 pm

herinfernallady

rolls eyes sorry about those typos

6:12 pm

herinfernallady

Hope you are all well

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

right i am off good night good day and all that

6:19 pm

JBV

bye herin

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

crossy was encouraging us to join the folding @home project to help find the cure to cancer

6:54 pm

hurshy

yes, just watching steven colbert interview a physicist talking about theories of space and time, and pondering, then quoting, my favorite, the explanation from doctor who... wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

6:54 pm

kje

6:56 pm

hurshy

my husband really gets on my nerves sometimes.

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

in fact weather generally moves west to east with limited exceptions

6:56 pm

jacq

if i run the systray version it seems to be automatically loaded but needs to be started

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

hmm really don't know jac

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

"how annoying is he hursh?"

6:57 pm

jacq

have opted for the systray, hate doing c prompts

6:57 pm

hurshy

he can't lie.

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

let me know how that works out jac

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

that would seem to be a good thin hursh

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

*thing

6:57 pm

hego

Hi All. Did everyone have wine with dinner?

6:57 pm

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

crossy said there was no danger

6:59 pm

hurshy

there is a very famous pizzeria here, but they don't deliver (they don't have to!). their specialty is a white pizza with clams and garlic, and we have wanted to try it but the times we have called they have been all out of the clams. so i was telling my husband i wanted to try it tonight, and he said he didn't want to go out to pick it up.

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

lol kje

6:59 pm

hego

Hi Welki. Strange things are happening.

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

hi welki!

6:59 pm

kje

mmmm- sounds wonderful hursh

6:59 pm

welki

how so, hego?

7:00 pm

hego

Just read down.

7:00 pm

hurshy

so i told him, this is where you call them and when they say they have no clams you seem like the nice guy who was willing to go. he said that seemed disingenuous, and risky, because he really wouldn't go get it.

7:00 pm

hurshy

and i said, ok, so if they DO have the clams, just lie to me and say they didn't. or tell me you called and they were out of clams without even calling.

7:01 pm

hurshy

but no, he is unwilling to create for me a fiction in which he is a nice guy if it means violating his precious honesty.

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

7:57 pm

swmbo

the di is a drug to make the body lose water

7:57 pm

kje

dieretic is to separate things

7:57 pm

swmbo

OOps, you are right, i was wrong

7:57 pm

rururocks

kje to the pb now...

7:57 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks for the clarification kje, but your clues should help Jilli if she is still stuck!!

7:57 pm

kje

the separation of two adjacent vowels, dividing one syllable into two.
2. a sign (¨) placed over the second of two adjacent vowels to indicate separate pronunciation, as in one spelling of the older forms naïve and coöperate: no longer widely used in English.
3. Prosody. the division made in a line or verse by coincidence of the end of a foot and the end of a word.

7:57 pm

jmcnrick

8:00 pm

lbdawger

hi feather

8:00 pm

stidmama

today I was in a 9th grade class again! but in a "junior high" and this was an English classroom. VERY different feeling than the 9th grade high school French class.

8:00 pm

jmcnrick

*putting on flack jacket*

8:00 pm

jillibus

ty lbd :)

8:00 pm

featherbee

junior high. ugh.

8:00 pm

stidmama

I am trying to decide if it's the contrast between urban-rural, or the shift from small fish-to big fish...

8:01 pm

stidmama

I rather enjoyed it feather. EXCEPT... this teacher was comfortable with more physicality between students than I might be (though she knew the students and I don't)

8:01 pm

lbdawger

probably a bit of both, stid

8:01 pm

Bugsaw

How so stid. I am not following your line of thot

8:01 pm

stidmama

I was thinking the same LBD -- and different cultures represented as well.

8:02 pm

kalea

hello everyone

8:02 pm

lbdawger

hi kalea

8:02 pm

jillibus

hello kalea!

8:02 pm

stidmama

Well in some ways these 9th graders, being not yet in high school hadn't fully adopted the attitude of those older teens (perhaps because they do not need to establish their place in the pecking order?)

8:02 pm

Bugsaw

I am always shocked by how low the standards have become. I work in Middle Schools and how the kids behave depends on the teacher

8:02 pm

lbdawger

9th grade jr high, top dog...9th grade high school bottom of the food chain

8:03 pm

stidmama

And in some ways they seemed so much more mature, perhaps because they were older, and therefore role models for the younger students.

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

Exactly lb. That is why I promote Middle Schools.

8:03 pm

rururocks

po8?

8:03 pm

featherbee

9th grade wasn't bad for me, it was freshman year of high school. but the thought of middle school.....shudder. i hated going through it, and don't think i could ever teach it. of course, my target age group is very far removed from it too!

8:03 pm

stidmama

I viewed it as this teacher just having a higher tolerance for movement and such than teachers I have worked with in the past.

8:03 pm

kje

i need it too

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

What age group woulld you like to teach stid.

8:04 pm

kalea

harbor + me + poetic before

8:04 pm

stidmama

I didn't like middle or high school as a child, but as a parent, seeing what the children are going through I realize that I have the interest and maturity to help smooth what can be very rough years.

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

a french word uses the po6 before it

8:04 pm

featherbee

i might get a different view as you have stid when daniel and nick get to that age.

8:05 pm

rururocks

thanks kalea

8:05 pm

stidmama

yes, that is how I came to it feather...

8:05 pm

jillibus

ty kalea

8:05 pm

stidmama

wait wait.... KALEA!!!! *breaks out the fancy drinks with little paper umbrellas*

8:05 pm

featherbee

i already have a different view of my kindergartners as daniel's grown up.

8:05 pm

jmcnrick

hi kalea

8:05 pm

kalea

lol

8:05 pm

lbdawger

i liked jr. high. i don't like middle school...just the way most are set up. the kids are still wanting to be taught and are so impressionable.

8:06 pm

lbdawger

brb

8:06 pm

jmcnrick

my knidergarden teacher was a rhymes with witch

8:06 pm

featherbee

aww, jmc, that's too bad

8:06 pm

stidmama

So much depends on the administrators, and on the overall school and community cultures, I think.

8:06 pm

stidmama

oooh jmc! that is sad. I liked both of my kindergarden teachers.

8:06 pm

jillibus

My granddaughter is teaching middle school, quite happily, but it's a special school with an emphasis on the arts

8:06 pm

jmcnrick

everyone thought she was loved by all but most of the kids we4 afraid of her

8:06 pm

kalea

my kids were great in middle school, but i found chaperoning was tougher than in high school

8:07 pm

kje

shoot, can't see that po8

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

but she promoted an image of being loved that the parents (other than my mother) bought into

8:07 pm

stidmama

I have steadfastly refused to chaperone... though I love being in the classrooms and can now handle being around them in less structured situations. LOL

8:08 pm

jmcnrick

my mother didn't like her when she found out she had allowed an adulterous liaison at her house

8:08 pm

Bugsaw

I was tortured in middle school so I like being able to be there for kids who struggle and are not popular, even tho they are wonderful people. I want school to be a better place for them than it was for me. Maturity really helps because they usually like grandmothers.

8:08 pm

featherbee

wow, how does one do that, yet scare the kids? trying to imagine what she was like.

8:08 pm

kalea

i chaperoned all dances, field trips, and parties

8:08 pm

stidmama

good for you bugs!

8:08 pm

jmcnrick

junior high was hell

8:08 pm

jillibus

d-i-l is teaching high school and one of her classes has almost 50 kids in it, thanks to gov't cuts to education (so stupid).

8:08 pm

jmcnrick

oh she would dress up and the kids we4 afraid not to pretend to like it

8:09 pm

stidmama

yes, I will be as old as many of their grandmothers by the time I have taught for a few years (now I am slightly older than most of the middle school parents)

8:09 pm

kalea

yikes, jilli......how does one teach well in that situation?

8:09 pm

featherbee

i had a whopping 10 kids yesterday! 6 were out sick. (this is one of my smallest classes in 13 years.)

8:09 pm

rbud

big ty for the po 8 clue, my last 8!

8:09 pm

stidmama

I can't imagine teaching 50 in a single class jill -- not okay.

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo rbud

8:09 pm

kje

ty - got it

8:09 pm

stidmama

go rbud go!

8:10 pm

jillibus

I never went to junior high -- came from England to NY and went straight into "5th term" HS at age 13. That was 3rd year High.

8:10 pm

stidmama

oh feather, that is not good. hope things (and children) get better soon!

8:10 pm

featherbee

only had 3 out today. hoping this is the upswing, and not the lull in the storm.

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

lucky jill

8:11 pm

jillibus

What's the matter with middle school and junior high?

8:11 pm

kalea

gosh jilli.......that must have been hard socially

8:12 pm

Bugsaw

Middle school is the same as Juniour High here. Usually grades 7 - 9. It is good because some grade 7s are already 6' tall and feel totally left out in elementary school but by grade 9 almost all the kids have had their growth spurt so they all look the same and feel safer in high school.

8:12 pm

jillibus

Not at all, kalea! I'm still pals with some of our gang.

8:12 pm

stidmama

okay, I need to be ready to take stidkid to school -- concert night tonight.

8:12 pm

kalea

8:13 pm

I am proud of you stid. Keep going with your studies. You can raise the standards academically and be compassionate too!

8:13 pm

stidmama

I just hope I get to listen to this performance, other stidkid needs to be picked up from college around 7:45

8:13 pm

jillibus

busy busy stid!

8:13 pm

stidmama

thanks bugs. I am scared that I don't really know enough to do this for other people's kids on my own. But I am hopeful that by summer 2011, after three separate student teaching assignments I will be ready.

8:14 pm

jillibus

stid, you're a born teacher!
