strange how things stick in your memory. i did a project when i was in sixth grade, about new zealand

i've actually persuade himself to go over to tasmania next february, on the ferry/ship. ta4 the carwith us and tour around for 8 days.
1:59 am
grannyrose

then the next BIG holiday, i hope to get him on board the ghan, train which goes up the centre of australia. hire a car in darwin, and drive down the west coast, fly back to melbourne from perth. that will be about 3 weeks.
2:01 am

i've driven the west coast from perth to broome - there's a lot of nice and a lot of nothing on that drive

2:01 am

Granny, I apparently have some Welsh cousins living in Melbourne now.
2:03 am
grannyrose

wow, you lot are blowingme away. josh, i know there is a lot of nothing, but that can be just as gob-smacking sometimes. if you ever have the chance, drive over the Hay plains, outback NSW
2:04 am
joshuavorbis

just think long about getting a 4x4 for the drive - i got stuck in some sand in utter nowhere and was lucky to be discovered about 20 minutes later by a truck with a wench
2:04 am
grannyrose

diz, went to tassie when i was in fifth form, school excursion, fell in lov ewith it then. himself has only seen the north.
2:05 am
grannyrose

josh, a winch would probably have been handier
2:05 am
joshuavorbis

haha,you're probably right
2:05 am
joshuavorbis

considering they're made for the task. unlike...
2:05 am
grannyrose

but, on second thoughts, if the wench was samson's little sister, she may have done the job
2:06 am

granny, I have only seen the north as well, hubby and I are seriously thinking of relocating..just gotta talk younger dtr to come too...LOL

2:16 am

Granny, I've never even met their parents, who live in Aberystwyth. We exchange Xmas cards and I don't think they even have email so extracting the info won't be easy!
2:17 am

I'll email you their names and maybe you can find them in the phone book?

Good morning/day to all. Another night of insomnia---aaaargh!
5:11 am
Atalante

ditto, I sympathise!
5:11 am
Scrabbler

My brain just will not quiet down!
5:12 am
Atalante

ditto! and doesn't help have husband crashing around half the night cos I dared to want to read while I couldn't sleep!
5:13 am
Scrabbler

Harumph to him.
5:13 am
Atalante

exactly
5:13 am
Atalante

he stormed off to work this morning without even saying hello. stupid man
5:14 am
Scrabbler

Well, just not polite or respectful.
5:14 am
Atalante

yes. too much effort to type long words though :P
5:15 am
Scrabbler

I guess a wife may call her husband stupid. Perhaps that is the best adjective for him at this time, LOL
5:15 am
Atalante

but then I did get my longest ever scrabble word which pleased me immensely - urticarial
5:16 am
Scrabbler

Whoa! How many points and against whom?
5:16 am
Atalante

I mean stupid not in the intellectual sense just in the grrrrrrrrrr argh stupid sense :)
5:16 am
Scrabbler

I know what you mean, haha
5:16 am
Atalante

hardly any points! well. 78? I think? imagine if it had been on a 3x!!
5:16 am
Atalante

against Chris S (Fuquayvarina)
5:17 am
Scrabbler

Hurshy is demolishing me in a game. My goal is to have at least half her point total.
5:17 am
Atalante

depressing playing her, isn't it
5:18 am
Atalante

I was doing quite well against her recently until she scored 256 or something with 1 word
5:18 am
Scrabbler

And nrkiii--very humbling to play against the tops players
5:19 am
Atalante

nrkii I can usually hold my own against, we normally finish really quite close, I think we must play in quite a similar manner
5:19 am
Atalante

bbnaz I have big problems with! (betsy hughes baker)
5:20 am
Scrabbler

I am improving. I must work on defense.
5:21 am
Atalante

ditto. I'm only really starting to realise that defence is an option
5:21 am
Scrabbler

I also need to shuffle my rack better and look for big words instead of settling for baby words
5:22 am
Atalante

but so much of the time baby words give you more points
5:22 am
Scrabbler

true--I do like parallel play with 2 letter words, esp on the right spots
5:23 am
Atalante

me too. I love just slotting in a letter or two sneakily
5:24 am
Scrabbler

And I need to think like a chess player and set up plays. I notice that hurshy & nrkii do that.
5:24 am
Atalante

and it's so much easier to do playing sowpods
5:24 am
Atalante

yes ... and I guess that's where defence comes in too!
5:28 am
Atalante

I almost think I could be a very good scrabble player if I could spend all my life studying it
5:29 am
Scrabbler

Oh, yes, memorizing lists and the top anagrams
5:29 am
Atalante

exactly, I have enough trouble memorising the 2 letter lists!
5:30 am
Scrabbler

I have a few study books written by the champs--lists of 2, 3, 4-letter words, front + end hooks, common rack anagrams (e.g. ratine + another letter)
5:30 am
Scrabbler

And to remember the 2-letter lists from different dictionaries is tough!
5:32 am
Atalante

I always get stuck if people start games using the US dictionary. I end up cursing lack of 2 letter words very vehemently
5:32 am
Scrabbler

That is why I always chhose the UK dictionary
5:32 am
Atalante

me too (duh)
5:33 am
Atalante

ny is too useful to leave out!
5:33 am
Scrabbler

Once I accidentally clicked on the french dictionary and it took my sister and I 3 turns to figure it out because up til then we chose acceptable words! It was so funny!
5:34 am
Atalante

LOLOL!!!

most true fanss cannot afford to go watch their team play live because the wages bills are astronomical and puts up the prices on the stands

6:23 am
Tella

6:23 am
Atalante

I'm very cross with Beckham, why not say before that he has asthma and act as a role model for 1000s of kids
6:24 am
jacq

sorry, it rankles me that nurses, policemen, firemen, paramedics, who meet and help people on what is sometimes the worst day of their lives, get paid so little
6:24 am
jacq

and these ponced up so called sportsmen earn millions and lead less than upstanding lives sometimes, yet are hailed as heroes by the younf people of this world

My Lickety Add box is not coming up on Babble Expert
6:44 am
bichon

Scrabs, have a ? for you. What is the difference between Influenza A and H1N1? And would the H1N1 prevent Influenz A?
6:44 am
Atalante

itching is the worst thing ever
6:45 am
Scrabbler

Flu strains are eaither type A or B and the H1N1 strain is an A strain.
6:45 am
Scrabbler

My poison ivy experience in July was miserable!
6:45 am
bichon

So if a child got the H1N1 vaccine, it would or would not protect them against A?
6:46 am
bichon

My hubby's cousin's entire family has come down with Inf. A
6:46 am
jacq

the girls used to have huge lumps the size of their hands all over their body
6:46 am
Uneaixoise

oh, bichon, how miserable!
6:46 am
Atalante

until someone has had really bad eczema / rashes / whatever they don't realise how itching can be so much worse than pain or anything else!
6:46 am
Scrabbler

The H1N1 vaccine provides protection against the H1N1 strain only. The seasonal lfu vaccine contains 3 strains, 1 A and 2 B or vice versa
6:46 am
jacq

they had both itching from the rash and pain from joint swellings
6:47 am
jacq

always together and for days at a time
6:47 am
bichon

Yikes, they're all very sick and the little one has asthma
6:47 am
Scrabbler

The only Flu A strain circulating inthe US since Apr has been H1N1. The rapid flu test is for A and B.

poor girls :(:(:(
6:48 am
bichon

The little one got the H1N1 vaccine [one dose] but came down with A. It's puzzling
6:48 am
Scrabbler

So then they have H1N1, bichon, and stay away--they are contagious for up to 12 days from onset of symptoms
6:48 am
jacq

ok past half way, daughter back and bored, time to go play ghosties with baby

when I was in college, our chemistry prof told us to add a "ta3" of something to a mix. One of the foreign students raised his hand, not familiar with the term.
8:07 am
hego

lol
8:08 am
Trifioso

The professor told him it just meant to add a little bit, a shake or two. But the student was not satisfied with such an imprecise instruction, and wanted the prof to tell him EXACTLY how much a ta3 was. The prof answered it was "1 over a shitload" which made us all ROLL. Not a lot of laughs in a chemistry lab, usually
8:09 am

Cute story.

how did things work out with your group project, stid? are you all talking to each other?
3:16 pm
stidmama

thanks for asking JBV, yes, the difficulty was not (as I suspected) with me mis-interpreting the other person's behavior, but with the other person being overly aggressive (as admitted in a mediated meeting). So he agreed to work on his anger issues and I made it clear that I did the best I could at the time but that I would next time find an advocate to help me in the moment.

the term paper is a synthesis paper on "teaching, learning, schooling" -- supposed to reflect our studies of history, theorists and our observations in schools; also a preliminary indication of our personal philosophy of teaching. *sigh* and we are only allowed to cite materials from the class work, not additional things we have read.

there are three teachers for (currently) just under 45 grad students. They all have their good points, and they all have their drawbacks. I would prefer more timely descriptions of expectations (they tend to say "do this" and then hand out rubrics after, and only fully desribed the paper one week before the first draft was due). I would also like to see more coordination between their expectations. There are three separate seminars, and all three are run very differently, causing a lot of disgruntlement.
3:32 pm
stidmama

However, those things reflect the way schools can run, so I suppose it's good practice for dealing with the bureaucrats once we are hired.

Minveryork

Oh no!What was the matter w/your dinner Michnick?
5:12 pm
Michnick

I had to be out so I left instructions for the kids to make fish. They took out the sole but prepared it like salmon. It was too oily and enough for 3-4 people but we are 8 and no one made the salad because they 'forgot' to buy lettuce. So dinner was a tiny morsel of fish & a baked potato.
5:12 pm
Joanne123

awww
5:13 pm

oh wow. next time they will remember i bet. :-)

lol, you beat me to it dawg !
8:35 pm
Scrabbler

If she has had 2 or more infections she should have testing (imaging) of the bladder + kidneys, to look for underlying problem.
8:35 pm
lbdawger

*readjusts foil cap*
8:35 pm
Scrabbler

TY for ka4
8:36 pm
Minveryork

I'm well lbdawger. Came to give clues if anyone needs
8:36 pm
Aussieme

she has had 3 so far this year
8:36 pm
lbdawger

whoooo hoooo MIN for you firewords!
8:37 pm
Scrabbler

1 test = kidney +bladder sonogram. 2nd test = VCUG = voiding cystourethrogram--small catheter is placed into the bladder, dye is injected, x-rays then taken to watch flow of dye.
8:37 pm
loredana

yay well done lbd
8:37 pm
Scrabbler

Did she have any UTIs as an infant?
8:37 pm

8:38 pm
Minveryork

I don't have FWs yet. I am saving last word for later.
8:38 pm

no UTI's a a little one, but now she is 3 and almost a half, she has had 3 in the last 11 months

*amazes herself sometimes ... must be the monkeys*
8:38 pm

are your monkeys surprising you welki?
8:39 pm
lbdawger

ahh, but Min, you probably know the word so, it's like having the fw
8:39 pm
welki

you betcha ... ta 6/7 for fireworks!
8:39 pm
Scrabbler

Most common cause in girls beyond toilet training = voiding dysfunction...females typically have bacterial colonization in urethra but peeing freq flushes out bacteria and prevents overgrowth of bacteria
8:39 pm
Minveryork

Yeah, you're right. I already entered it into Licketys
8:40 pm
loredana

8:41 pm
welki

(scrabbs, don't some young girls get uti's if they've put foreign objects where they don't belong? think she might be doing that?)
8:41 pm
Scrabbler

If girls hold in pee for hrs, e.g. they are too busy playing to take time to pee, they are very prone to infection
8:41 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations Aussieme on fireworks! Good for you
8:41 pm

Oh boy, major mass confusion in log over FWs tonite.
8:42 pm
loredana

oh dear more bickies then slip a couple of timtams aussies way
8:42 pm
Scrabbler

That behavior typically causes other issues, welki
8:42 pm
Aussieme

lol.... maybe too much sugar :)
8:42 pm
Aussieme

she is not doing that, no foreign objects....
8:43 pm
Scrabbler

So Aussie, make her pee every 60-90 minutes when awake, but alos talk to your doc about urinary tract imaging tests
8:44 pm
Aussieme

ok, we usually take her every 60 minutes or so anyway.... she has been diaper-free during the day for a while now...
8:44 pm
Scrabbler

Also, constipation can cause UTIs--poop in rectum presses on bladder and causes issues
8:44 pm
Aussieme

she poo's every day, sometimes twice a day
8:44 pm
Scrabbler

At 160/40 I need to go to bed. See you tomorrow.

my great-aunt's house used to have a sl5 roof. It shattered in a hail storm in its 120th year. Sadly, they could not afford to replace it with sl5
9:02 pm
Lindrickway

LOl jmc!
9:03 pm
jmcnrick

the insurance didn't cover it?
9:03 pm
lbdawger

120 years! wow, i would think some historical renovation team would be out to help
9:03 pm
dcseain

insurance did not believe in sl5, and figured the roof was fully depreciated
9:04 pm
dcseain

dawg, she lives in the middle of nowhere in Ohio
9:04 pm
jmcnrick

hmmm i think i would have been talking to an attorney on that one
9:04 pm
Bugsaw

it must have been terribly heavy with snow on it too. I am suprised hail would do it in
9:04 pm
dcseain

it thins over the years, bugs, and was installed in 1876.
9:05 pm
lbdawger

at the right pitch, the snow would slide off. but the angle of hail, that could crack sl5 in a heartbeat
9:05 pm
jmcnrick

i have a sl5 roof but just got a few tiles replaced
9:05 pm
Bugsaw

Wow. we have a lot of rain here. Not too much snow

10:16 pm
stidmama

LOL I just finished one of the worst textbooks ever assigned. *relieved mama look* I am glad to be "shut" of it so I can move on to more pleasant things like revising the paper and such!
10:16 pm

10:17 pm

10:17 pm
stidmama

yes, and babbling!
10:17 pm
JBsAnno

Babbling is a GOOD thing!
10:17 pm
stidmama

mmmm. coffee in all its lovely disguises
10:17 pm
JBsAnno

What was the nasty textbook about, stiddy?
10:17 pm
Minveryork

Babbling is a GREAT thing!
10:17 pm
stidmama

down to 86, I think I will list.
10:18 pm
jmcnrick

oo what a nice word looks like a BR phantom
10:18 pm
kje

well, dc... no real recipe anymore, but you slice white onions, put them in a baking dish, smear with butter, drizzle with honey, then salt and pepper and bake... let me see if i can find it
10:18 pm
dcseain

ah, we're working with pearl onions in this case, yellow, red, and white
10:19 pm
JBsAnno

harp, I once had a whole rooftop of snow on ice topple right down onto my car. Fortunately, I wasn't in it, but I was in the house under it, and it sounded like DOOM!
10:19 pm
stidmama

it's a history text, and in case the author babbles I shan't name it. I feel that it presents a viewpoint that is not entirely without merit, but with no balance on several important issues that the less experienced members of my clsas are unable to consider critically
10:19 pm
jmcnrick

pre-boil the onions, then butter, onions and cream in a baking dish
10:19 pm
stidmama

that probably was just as confused as I think -- have been reading for several hours.
10:20 pm
dcseain

pitty that, stid, about the book
10:20 pm
JBsAnno

Actually, your answer made sense, stid, but I am a bit confused about where the onions fit in...
10:20 pm
dcseain

hm. good, one, jmc
10:20 pm
Minveryork

I give up! Can't stay up for flip as much as I'd like to.
10:20 pm

okay, it's the idea that in order for something to really be a crime, the person has to intend to be doing something they know to be wrong. Apparently this concept is not used in England, where a person gets penalized if they do something illegal even if they couldn't have known it was illegal.
11:03 pm

ti5/18?
11:05 pm
jmcnrick

some crimes it is enough to know you are doing something wrong
11:05 pm
stidmama

that makes sense!
11:05 pm
torgone

Like the guy who found a gun someone threw in his garden, took it to the police, and now faces five years in prison?
11:05 pm
jmcnrick

other crimes you have to intend the very thing that you are being charged with
11:05 pm
stidmama

ti 5/18 is ti + tall cons + alaska abbreviation
11:05 pm
jmcnrick

an example is murder requires that you intend to murder the person
11:05 pm
stidmama

okay, that's reasonable.

stid, I saw on FB that stidkid#1 was going to Canada. Where in Canada? I hate it when people talk about Canada as if it was about 1 mile wide.
11:06 pm
stidmama

and then in the U.S. there are statutory crimes that acknowledge maybe the person didn't or couldn't have known it was wrong but we have big prohibitions and so punish anyway
11:06 pm
