absolutely no idea, granny!
1:29 am

No idea on son -- flosey must be better -- she had a busy day in Victoria, shopping and visiting friends.
1:32 am
grannyrose

he hasn't spoken to me for nearly 3 years, i send him seasonal cards, b'day cards, have tried to phone him, no answer. his brothers are disgusted with him.
1:34 am
grannyrose

i think his brothers are being kind to me, when they say they have no idea what's going on.it's so puzzling.
1:34 am
jillibus

Oh, that's sad, granny!
1:36 am
grannyrose

unfortunately,i have to put it down to his wife, since he hasn't spoken to me since their wedding, which i might add, i wasn't invited to!!!she is really a piece of workif you know what i mean.
1:36 am
rururocks

he has made a choice then granny
1:37 am
grannyrose

it's so strange. when everyone else in the family was muttering under their breath ( she's 8 years older than he is ), i stuck up for them both.

nothing ruru, i've racked my brains. i brought up my kids to talk about anything to me,even when they were hopping mad, we still talked it out.
1:40 am
rururocks

wow.. I wish I could help you.. I don't know what to do other than to write and tell him you love them both and hope that one day they will contact you again.
1:40 am

oh well, i give thanks for the remaining two, they are such lovely young men, and their wives are adorable.
1:40 am

ruru's advice sounds good.
1:41 am

1:42 am

Scrabbler, another migraine study: http://tinyurl.com/yk223y7

I have not started raking yet--timing this massive chore is always a challenge. I like to do it before more leaves still need to fall, yet must get it done before the snow stays. Thus I know what I need to do all weekend!
5:49 am
hurshy

we're lucky being in a condo, all we have to do is the deck, not a whole yard.

what happens if you just let the leaves stay on the grass and let the snow come?
5:52 am
hurshy

yes, he is - i'll try to put up a new icon pic today
5:55 am
Scrabbler

It is damaging to the grass to leave the leaves
5:57 am
hurshy

hmm... what if you had moss instead of grass? i hear some people are going that way both for ease of maintenance and bc it requires so much less water, thus better for the planet.
5:59 am
Scrabbler

I have moss over the shaded areas of my yard and grass in the open areas.
6:00 am
hurshy

and do you have to rake the leaves off the moss too?
6:02 am
Scrabbler

I don't know if I "have" to, but I do and it must be done gently or the moss gets lifted right off.
6:02 am
hurshy

it would be interesting to know what happens if you don't.
6:05 am
Scrabbler

I am trying to remember what has happened in the past when raking wasn't done before the snow arrived, and I don't recall the condition of the yard.

What a day!

I phoned my slightly-dotty grandmother last night only to discover that she'd "mislaid her purse".

Me: oh ... um ... where do you remember having it last?
Her: don't know
Me: what did you have in it?
Her: don't know ... bus pass ... bank card ...
Me: what about your house key?
Her: that too
Me: oh .... shall I come down and sort it out?

So this morning there was a quick dash to Bognor Regis to cancel cards, re-order bus passes, and try and persuade Gran that she needed to get her locks changed. That last took over an hour and eventually involved getting the manager of her retirement complex involved as she simply didn't understand why she'd need to have the locks changed.

I wanted to talk over a couple strategies to avoid what happened on Friday again. I have been thinking (dwelling on it actually) over the weekend and think I am just way out of practice in dealing with scary and difficult people.
5:51 pm
dcseain

sigh. TA7 hint, pls?
5:51 pm
jmcnrick

well no one likes th4
5:51 pm
jmcnrick

beige color + poison ***
5:52 pm
stidmama

"dart" doesn't work...
5:52 pm
stidmama

pill doesn't work...
5:52 pm
jmcnrick

one way to avoid dealing with a**h**** is to have a reputation th4 you don't put up with it
5:52 pm
stidmama

poison sugar? rat poison? arsenic!
5:52 pm
jmcnrick

think plant
5:53 pm
jmcnrick

at night when you're sleeping poison *** comes a creeping around
5:53 pm
GreyWoulf

what happened on Friday, stid?
5:53 pm
stidmama

and how do I develop a reputation like that when I am not coming from a position of any authority?
5:53 pm
stidmama

my sense is that he was partly reacting to my uppitiness as a woman...
5:53 pm
jmcnrick

you don't need a position of authority to have th4 reputation
5:54 pm
jmcnrick

well part of the way to deal with guys like that is to laugh them down (and i would think you would be good at th4)
5:54 pm
stidmama

oh woulf I had an unfortunate interaction with a classmate who was in the small group I was working in. He got angry over something so unexpectedly that I really didn't know what to do.
5:54 pm
dcseain

oy, th4 was covuluted. ty, jmc
5:55 pm
jmcnrick

what my clue?
5:55 pm
stidmama

I tried to make it into a joke when reason wasn't working, that escalated it. I was glad to be on the other side of the large table...
5:55 pm
mkg

anyone have ci 7? i thought i had it.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick

what did you say?
5:55 pm
stidmama

hey mkg, I need that one too.
5:56 pm
jmcnrick

ci+ sistern and bre*****
5:56 pm
mkg

hi stid. hi all
5:56 pm
GreyWoulf

I hate when that happens -- I am bad in those situations myself... I tend to shut down and get very quiet as a result
5:56 pm
stidmama

oh, I am afraid I actually called him a term of endearment, since he was treating me the way archie bunker treated people
5:56 pm
stidmama

hm. that's got to be related to a zither, methinks! thanks again jmc
5:56 pm
stidmama

yes woulf, and so I gathered all my stuff and left for the day. I was completely unnerved.
5:56 pm
jmcnrick

apparently it is a musical instrument
5:57 pm
dcseain

yes, one from the 16th century
5:57 pm
stidmama

have you played one seain?
5:57 pm
jmcnrick

well endearments are generally fighting words to macho men
5:57 pm
stidmama

wow. I am suddenly down to 40.
5:57 pm
GreyWoulf

Ah, phooey!! I thought I had more time to chat :\

Dinner time -- I will be back later
5:57 pm

5:59 pm
stidmama

dryer humor will I think be over his head. So I am thinking I need to avoid humor altogether?
5:59 pm
jmcnrick

no sorry that was the 5/12
6:00 pm
stidmama

the en 5/10 is en + spanish word for "auntie"
6:00 pm
kje

4 words, one tile gray... off to a fine start ; )
6:00 pm
kje

hello all
6:00 pm

6:00 pm

stidmama

hm. *considers how to use humor*
6:01 pm
stidmama

okay... so maybe I need to get more practice thinking like that.
6:01 pm
jmcnrick

so first look him straight in the eye, pause so there is a moment of silence and everyone gives you attention
6:01 pm
mkg

hereto
6:01 pm
stidmama

I suppose it's got to be more subtle than the perennial 3rd grade favorite: Why don't monsters eat clowns...
6:02 pm
stidmama

brb phone
6:02 pm
jmcnrick

then make a mildly demeaning remark and then IMMEDIATELY change the subject
6:02 pm
mkg

sorry for the word.
6:02 pm
jmcnrick

why don't monsters eat clowns?
6:02 pm
mkg

6:03 pm
jmcnrick

he=not him+dine
6:03 pm
stidmama

How do you maintain your "cool" when you deal with insulting people jmc? I know you said something about it Friday, but I was pretty upset and didn't fully internalize it. It's a quaker term
6:03 pm
jmcnrick

without missing a beat so that he doesn't have time to reply
6:04 pm
jmcnrick

hmmm i don't remember what i said
6:04 pm
stidmama

I may not be clever enough to do the rapid-response things.
6:04 pm
mkg

ty for he word. got it.
6:04 pm
mkg

anyone have en 6 plZ
6:04 pm
jmcnrick

but what i try to do to the extent i can is speak to the best part of a person--so if he says something i can agree with i respond to it and move on to another topic
6:05 pm
jmcnrick

sorry mkg
6:05 pm
jessmom

6:05 pm
stidmama

yes, that makes sense. The focus on the good.
6:05 pm
stidmama

hello jessmom
6:05 pm
jmcnrick

if he says something just crazy i go quiet for a moment, look him in the eye, and depending on how crazy move one
6:06 pm
jmcnrick

the reall trick is the moving on part
6:06 pm
mkg

ty got it.
6:06 pm
jessmom

hi stid
6:06 pm
jmcnrick

leave the sh*t behind as quickly as possible
6:06 pm
mkg

need na 5 please.
6:06 pm
stidmama

yes, moving on is the part I missed. except for physically moving out of the room,
6:07 pm
jmcnrick

water sprite mkg
6:07 pm
jmcnrick

no if you move out of the room you have validated his stupidity
6:07 pm
mkg

like nymph? hhhmmmm
6:08 pm
jmcnrick

if you pause meaningfully looking at him like he lost his last mind then whether you say something or not .. .. .you take control of the situation
6:08 pm
stidmama

yes, yielding the field of battle was clearly a tactical error. It also meant the other two members of the group had to do the cleanup.
6:08 pm
jmcnrick

google it mkg
6:09 pm
jmcnrick

think of it this way -- what grade are you thinking of teaching?
6:09 pm
stidmama

adolescents. middle-school. hormone-driven insult machines.
6:09 pm
jmcnrick

how would you tell one of those kids to deal with a bully?
6:09 pm
jmcnrick

if they are confrontational it only escalates
6:10 pm
stidmama

I would say to ignore if possible, if not possible get an adult.
6:10 pm
stidmama

yes, the confrontation is generally a mistake.
6:10 pm
jmcnrick

if they fold it only drives the bully into continuing because he won
6:10 pm
stidmama

hmmmmm
6:10 pm
jmcnrick

better than ignore is standing up
6:10 pm
stidmama

but standing up quietly...
6:10 pm
jmcnrick

(but yes getting an adult is good too)
6:11 pm

9:09 pm

(thought you were referring to finishing the grid)
9:11 pm
hurshy

the NYT crossword puzzles can be done online each day and they list the 10 first finishers, the 10 fastest finishers, and the 10 most recent. well, obviously the 10 most recent is fleeting, and the 10 fastest is VERY hard bc some people either cheat or are just freakin' good, so i figured my best shot at achieving something was the first 10 list. i have been trying for ages to start right on time with the new puzzles, esp early in the week when they are less difficult, to no avail. but tonight, i did it! i'm the ninth finisher and there i will sit for 24 hours!
9:11 pm
Bugsaw

come on Hurshy
9:11 pm

VERY WELL DONE, hurshy!!!
