in a couple of bordering states, driving the speed limit or slower is ticketable for obstructing traffic, which means at this point it's a speed minimum there

1:48 am
dcseain

i'm not surprised, jili. we were taught that speech and writing are separate, except when either writing in dialect or speaking formally.

jmcnrick

sometimes she can; sometimes not so much
5:10 pm
Verucasalt

someone once told me that having a baby and dying are very much alike for the surrounding people. On both occassions you are waiting for the event (sometimes a long time) and they are both filled with so much emotion.
5:11 pm
hurshy

except for the whole missing them afterwards things.
5:12 pm

true hurshy, but when my grandmother finally passed after being in a home for two years and a couple strokes, feeding tube... it was a relief for me AND her - and I miss her

M clues please
5:36 pm
Scrabbler

ma rrey
5:36 pm
hurshy

yes, that is how it turned out, though. they have to do an MRI to see if there is a stone in a duct that needs breaking up before they can even do the surgery. which i really really hope they will not find any reason not to do laproscopically. (sp?)
5:36 pm
Scrabbler

Well, that was a lame attempt at a M word
5:36 pm
hurshy

ma6 one who ruins or spoils
5:37 pm

ma5 a purply-pink color

thanks sue and hursh! now to find 4
5:37 pm
Scrabbler

laparoscopically.....I had a stone in common duct and got jaundiced
5:37 pm
Scrabbler

TY for M clues
5:37 pm
hurshy

yeah they saw that his liver function was off on his blood work when he went in.
5:38 pm
PAV3

and don't forget the one who ma** (red planet)
5:38 pm
hurshy

and they suspect that there is a stone right at the entrance which gets jammed whenever the gb tries to secrete, because he was getting pain after eating.
5:38 pm
Scrabbler

Elevated liver enzymes probably---ALT + AST, if you want to inquire about those and impress the docs
5:38 pm
suefrad625

got them, ty Hursh
5:38 pm
hurshy

i didn't even see any docs while i was there!
5:39 pm
hurshy

i mean, i saw some in the cafeteria - but i didn't see any docs that were dealing with him.
5:39 pm
Scrabbler

Yep, food in stomach tells GB to squirt out bile into small intestine, but stones cause obstruction
5:40 pm
hurshy

i'm not used to this whole MRI to confirm business, though. if this were house, he'd just do the procedure to break up the stone, without bothering to check. it's faster.
5:40 pm

9:29 pm
Jellen

Hurshy! You still around?
9:31 pm
hurshy

so, i try not to eat very much meat. when we were vacationing in england, eating out all the time, sometimes my husband would offer to give me a bite of his. i had a bite of venison, even though, you know, you feel like, aw, deer - even though you also know the populations need to be kept down. but when he offered me lamb i just couldn't.
9:31 pm
hurshy

oh, "still" or "again"... something.
9:32 pm
hurshy

what percent of the population do you think feels this way about lamb and veal?
9:32 pm
Jellen

I can't bring myself to eat mammals...
9:32 pm
lbdawger

hursh, i feel the same way. just can't eat lamb. not real fond of deer either.
9:32 pm
Dorens

24%
9:32 pm
hurshy

(this thought brought to you by the lamb carpaccio (sp?) i saw being prepared on iron chef)
9:33 pm
Jellen

If I weren't so bad about nutritional meal planning, I'd be a vegetarian.
9:33 pm
hurshy

dorens, this is why i like you. direct answers.
9:33 pm
Dorens

i have ve4/9.. could i please have stats for the other v? (just the stats, please--- dragnet)
9:33 pm
hurshy

9:33 pm
Jellen

9:33 pm
Dorens

lbdawger

9:34 pm
jmcnrick

i love all meat and veggies
9:34 pm

jellen - it's not that hard if you don't get bored easily.
9:34 pm
jmcnrick

i am an equal opportunity eater
9:34 pm
Jellen

I have ADD...bored easily!
9:34 pm
hurshy

well i figured you made it up, but i like people who are willing to take a stab in the dark (but only in the metaphorical sense).
9:35 pm
lbdawger

lol jmc! i like beef, but i could go mostly veggies, hubz however would not agree
9:35 pm
Dorens

i eat little meat.. but am not totally opposed to it. And there are an awful lot of people who do NOT like the fact that i give direct answers... glad it is appreciated now and then
9:36 pm
lbdawger

i like direct answers. if i wanted hedged ones, i'd ask multiple guess questions
9:36 pm
hurshy

then that would be hard, jellen. i just tend to eat the same few things allllll the time. pasta with vegetables. bean soup. salads. breakfast - PB + banana on a potato roll.
9:36 pm
Jellen

Direct answers are often refreshing!
9:36 pm
hurshy

and cheerios.
9:37 pm
hurshy

i love cheerios.
9:37 pm
Jellen

I used to do that, but Tim likes variety...unfortunately not always healthy choices...
9:37 pm
Dorens

i do try to be nice though-- it just doesn't always work
9:37 pm
hurshy

i've never noticed you being un-nice, dorens.
9:37 pm
Jellen

The only thing I'm pretty consistent with is my morning oatmeal...
9:38 pm
jmcnrick

i can eat the same thing over and over but then I make ethiopian food from scratch
9:38 pm
jmcnrick

dorens when have you ever been un-nice!
9:38 pm
hurshy

i've not been doing as well since we went to england... sigh. stupid cholesterol.
9:38 pm
lbdawger

9:39 pm
jmcnrick

9:39 pm
jmcnrick

9:39 pm
Jellen

Cholesterol is a problem for me, too...
9:39 pm
lbdawger

now if you look under dragonlady with pms, you'll find me!
9:39 pm
Dorens

haha. i guess it is easier to be nice to babblers than real life people. glad you all think i'm nice though. i think i am, but sometimes.....
9:39 pm
hurshy

if you look up 'kind' you will find my mitty kitty. sometimes she licks me JUST BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I LIKE IT! that's pretty good for a borderline-sentient being.
9:40 pm
Dorens

ken calls me "the queen of blunt" i kind of like that
9:41 pm
Jellen

Aww...mitty kitty sounds sweet!
9:41 pm
jmcnrick

in real life lots of people are afraid of me which i have always found baffling
9:41 pm
lbdawger

but never a doubt about what you mean, dorens
9:41 pm
hurshy

between her and cinder, who just loves to lick, i pretty much constantly have cat scratch disease, which, guess what, isn't only transmitted through scratching.
9:41 pm
jmcnrick

Hi Marc Freeman! How are you? Welcome to the grid!
9:56 pm
hurshy

bosses ARE problematic. there are some really good ones, and a lot of not so good ones. it almost makes me wish i were a boss so i could pay people generously, give them lots of time off, and treat them with respect.
9:57 pm
lbdawger

the last part is the most important, Hursh. treat people with respect.
9:57 pm
jmcnrick

really marc? I come to des moines and washington and iowa city from time to time
9:57 pm
jmcnrick

and also visit the friends school scattergood
9:57 pm
Marc Freeman

Who would ever make money if you paid them a lot, and they didn't have to work so many hours. Sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy
9:57 pm
jmcnrick

i am a boss and i wish i could pay people generously and give them lots of time off
9:58 pm

9:58 pm

I am one hour from Iowa City and 30 minutes from Washington, Iowa if it is the same one between me and Iowa City. What is in Washington?
9:58 pm
lbdawger

I don't mind working hard, and being paid a fair wage. but when you get minimal and treated like you're an idiot, it takes a lot of wear and tear.
9:58 pm
hurshy

well, part of it is that many people have to work a certain number of hours, instead of just having to get certain work done. if you're done with your work, you should get to go home.
9:58 pm
jmcnrick

a mennonite camp --crooked creek
9:59 pm
Marc Freeman

That is the most important thing is to treat them with respect. After that nothing else matters.
9:59 pm

9:59 pm
jmcnrick

there is always more work
9:59 pm

Someone in their lesser productive work hours came up with a time sheet that says we're suppose to shelve x amount of books in an hour. they didn't take in consideration: having to shift books to make the new ones fit, put books away that customers have left out of place, and keep track of which sections need to be fixed cuz of customers (or their children).

Jellen

Hi, stid! It's not bad...
11:10 pm
stidmama

that's good to hear, jellen -- how are you? I love following your escapades on twitter.
11:13 pm
Jellen

I'm well...little nervous about our trip to St. Louis to see the oncologist...
11:13 pm
stidmama

(((jellen))) my heart is with you. my hope is there will be good news.
11:14 pm
Jellen

Me too!
11:15 pm
stidmama

how is tim doing?
11:16 pm
stidmama

down to 16...
11:16 pm
Jellen

He's nervous, too, I think.
11:16 pm
stidmama

I would be, I know that.
11:17 pm
Jellen

Knowledge is preferable to uncertainty in my world!
11:18 pm
stidmama

I think so too. We go see an orthopedist tomorrow, hoping he has more experience with "idiopathic" hip pain (meaning they can't find a cause). I hate not knowing WHY I hurt.
11:18 pm
stidmama

with luck, he'll be able to at least tell me it won't get worse...
11:19 pm
Jellen

I hope that is the case...
11:20 pm
stidmama

*shrug* but I had to stop thinking about it months ago because there is no point to worrying about it. I'll be a nervous wreck tomorrow though.
11:21 pm
stidmama

is the lone A at the top fishy?
11:21 pm
stidmama

oh. And I have a HUGE first draft of the term paper due this coming Friday but they only listed the expectations two days ago... *panic mode fully engaged*
11:21 pm
Jellen

No, it's not fishy.
11:21 pm
Jellen

woulf was good in school too
11:39 pm
hootowl

glad to help - congrats
11:39 pm
stidmama

oops... I saw Woulf just in passing a couple weeks ago. He mentioned she was getting nice comments on her work.
11:39 pm
stidmama

I am not surprised about Woulf -- he's rather a bright young man, isn't he?
11:40 pm
hootowl

in passing? Was he here?
11:40 pm
stidmama

thanks for all the help. I wouldn't even have started this one without Jellen to hold my hand!
11:40 pm
hootowl

And yes but not bright enough to call once in a while
11:41 pm
stidmama

that's maybe just a "guy" thing? my Tom, as lovely as he is, doesn't call his folks unless I remind him.
11:41 pm
stidmama

my boys are the same way.
11:41 pm
hootowl

It was easier than I expected. Finished in about 1/2 hr last night. Being awake helped too. And 2 important clues. Including the pa.:D
11:42 pm
stidmama

I stopped by the grid one night and he was here, yes -- I was totally surprised to see him!
11:42 pm
stidmama

being awake definitely helps when doing the grid... LOL
11:42 pm
hootowl

hmm - guess I missed him. I tend to come in and out usually
11:42 pm
MPittore

clue for ru?
11:42 pm
hootowl

so hows school?
11:42 pm
stidmama

and I am notorious for NEVER mailing letters even if I write them, though I will email frequently once you get me started.
11:42 pm
hootowl

one who regrests
11:42 pm
stidmama

RU: person who regrets?
11:43 pm
stidmama

school is... difficult. I find the expectations not very transparent, and poorly articulated. I don't do well with "mushy" assignments and incomplete feedback.
11:43 pm
hootowl

i can't spell for nuttin tonight
11:43 pm
stidmama

Otherwise, I am told I doing pretty well -- I worry that I am stupid and not understanding assignments.
11:44 pm
hootowl

dam - that isn't helping at all is it? Can you prod them with questions to clarify?
11:44 pm
stidmama

I DO take longer than other people to put things into words when I am doing "highbrow" stuff, so I sometimes can't really contribute much to in-class discussions. But I write pretty well.
11:44 pm
MPittore

ty got it
11:45 pm
hootowl

discussions about what? teaching?
11:45 pm
stidmama

I have prodded with questions until I think they are about to burst from frustration. I have backed off, and trying to "trust the process" but have little confidence in my ability. I have rather low self-esteem, it turns out.
11:45 pm
MPittore

clue hu?
11:45 pm
stidmama

discussions about the history of teaching, learning theories, teaching methodologies...
11:45 pm
hootowl

I always was better at writing stuff than talking. I even do it with the grid.
11:45 pm
stidmama

hu : person who goes faster
11:46 pm
Jellen

hu7= the hu***** I go, the behinder I get
11:46 pm
stidmama

thanks for that, hoot -- I was feeling quite alone in my weirdness on that!
11:47 pm
hootowl

nah! lots of people are like that. Have to think on paper or it doesn't stick.
11:47 pm
stidmama

my fingers remember words quicker than my mouth, that's for sure! At least that is true since the car accident 20 years ago. Which I haven't told the faculty about because in most cases it isn't an issue.
11:47 pm
MPittore

ty stid
11:47 pm
Jellen

That's interesting stid...
11:48 pm
stidmama

go MPittore go!
11:48 pm
MPittore

need ma's 20 left
11:48 pm
hootowl

you also have to consider that if it's that difficult for them to clarify, they aren't doing their job well.
11:49 pm
hootowl

ma6 is one who makes messes and ma5 is a color
11:49 pm
hootowl

maybe dirties stuff is better
11:49 pm
Jellen

Tim is harassing me!
11:50 pm
stidmama

I have considered that, hoot -- and I am not the only student who struggles with this. So I think I won't "fail" for the quarter and I will be allowed to move ahead in the program next quarter. But I will believe it when I have the paper in my hand that says I pass!
11:50 pm
hootowl

growl at him jellen!
11:50 pm
stidmama

*stern mama look at tim*


*STERN mama look, young man!*
11:50 pm
Jellen

Tim stuck his tongue out at you, stid!
11:51 pm
hootowl

well if it's more than just tyou - it's definitly them!
11:51 pm
stidmama

*gets out needlework scissors for tim's tongue*
11:51 pm
Jellen

He's incorrigible!
11:51 pm
stidmama

or is he encourageable??? *wink* maybe you should go sleepy-bye, young lady?
11:52 pm
stidmama

I will stay until flip, then I turn into pumpkin pudding...
11:52 pm

11:53 pm

11:53 pm
stidmama

ma 5 is a purply color
11:53 pm
hootowl

stid have you ever cooked with pumpkin? BF was bound & determined to eat pumpkin and was very disappointed when it tasted like nothing.
11:53 pm
stidmama

ma 6 is a person who marks things up. like th pa 4/5
11:53 pm
hootowl

that yucky purple-gray-blue
11:54 pm
stidmama

pumpkin needs spices, hoot -- or lots of butter, like other squash.
11:54 pm
stidmama

we have used pumpkin as filler in spaghetti sauce and such. And you can make a nice pumpkin bread (like banana bread).
11:54 pm
hootowl

did that and still tasted like nothing - but spices. No flavor of it's own.
11:54 pm
MPittore

still not getting ma color
11:55 pm
stidmama

oh that tim! *exasperated mama look*
11:55 pm

11:55 pm

11:57 pm
hootowl

I've that stiuff and don't buy it. Libby's recipe is great and I can add more or less of whatever
11:57 pm
stidmama

we get nice non-pumpkin gourds that have better flavor than jackolanterns, but in a pinch I'll use any squash for pie/pudding
11:57 pm
MPittore

sorry volley don't know that one
11:58 pm
hootowl

i've SEEN that stuff
11:58 pm
stidmama
