it's so new, it is coming off the ship tomorrow.
1:14 am

so is the driving the same as in Engl or the US...steering wheel on the right or left..?
1:14 am
grannyrose
same as england....steering wheel on the right
1:16 am
PAV3
and so the roads are the same as Engl? drive going to on the left side and coming towards on the right?
1:16 am
grannyrose
correct, pav
1:17 am
PAV3
odeah...remind me to hire a driver if I ever go there..
1:17 am
gremlinn
I wonder why reversals of driving sides ever started.
1:18 am
PAV3
we couldn't be the same as Engl in any way, imho
1:18 am
grannyrose
i think the us wanted to be completely different from the english as much as possible, can't blame them really....
1:19 am
gremlinn
So it goes back to pre-automobile eras?
1:19 am
PAV3
I believe the earliest cars had the steering wheel smack in the middle

grannyrose
well, consider the spelling of some words, not sure when that changed for the US

jillibus

2:29 am
jillibus
*implosion
2:30 am
rubyfoo
yes, we had a big fight, exchanged harsh words, and all because the dog escaped AGAIN and he wouldn't help me get her back, was too busy with raking spent flowers, feeding fish, etc.
2:30 am
jillibus
he seems to get angry very easily
2:30 am
rubyfoo
yes, increasingly as he gets even older! lol
2:31 am
jillibus
well, I should leave you to get dressed and I should get undressed and go to bed, lol!
2:31 am
rubyfoo
and I just shouldn't fight back! I don't have a bad temper, but when there's a dog problem, I get very upset
2:31 am
jillibus
of course.

oh, terrible!
4:01 am
rubyfoo
hi sandy!!
4:02 am
rubyfoo
are you on a fat-free diet?
4:02 am
MVA
didn't realise such a little bit of me could cause so much pain
4:02 am
sandyloo
not me ruby!!lol but wine is fat free!
4:02 am
MVA
existing on toast and marmite and water
4:03 am
rubyfoo
it's an awful pain -- starts in the front then moves to your shoulder
4:03 am
sandyloo
mva that would make you feel soooo ill , sorry to here that
4:03 am
sandyloo
try vegemite, it is much nicer than marmite
4:04 am
MVA
it's all right if i don't stand up straight !!
4:04 am
rubyfoo
mine was inflamed many many years ago and I ate no meat or fats for about 6 months, mostly sushi, and it cleared up without surgery. My mother diagnosed it over the phone!!!
4:04 am
rubyfoo
oh, poor mva!!!
4:04 am
sandyloo
did you lose weight then ruby (or are you skinny anyway)
4:04 am
MVA
i caneat sushi, i like it, don't care for vegemite though!
4:05 am
rubyfoo
the sushi regime really helped and, fortunately, I was living in NY at the time, so it was available. Here, I'd have to blow myself up!
4:05 am
sandyloo
lol, it is a very australian thing, I don't know of any foreigners that like vegemite (we in Aus are raised on it of course)
4:05 am
rubyfoo
I'm skinny but lost some weight then
4:06 am
MVA
i've even lost the taste for tea
4:06 am
sandyloo
poor thing
4:06 am
rubyfoo
what is it? sounds awful.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
how about sake? nice with the sushi
4:06 am
rubyfoo
where are you, mva?
4:06 am
sandyloo
what vegemite?
4:07 am
MVA
no alcohol on antibiotics for a week, and lots of painkillers
4:07 am
rubyfoo
is it good for you, vegemite, or is it just salty
4:07 am
sandyloo
Vegemite is like marmite but has a savoury taste where marmite has a sweet taste
4:07 am
MVA
i live in South Wales
4:07 am
rubyfoo
I've never had either one, more of a butter and jam on toast gal
4:07 am
sandyloo
hmm, don't know whether it is good for you, but it would be better than jam or honey
4:08 am
rubyfoo
we have friends who live near Denby, but I think that's north.....
4:08 am
MVA
i was thinking that i'd be a touch adventurous and toast and jam for lunch
4:08 am
rubyfoo
I love jam - with cheese, with bread, with yoghurt. Mostly homemade but there is one kind in the stores that is wonderful, reines claude, green plums!!!
4:09 am
sandyloo
my favourite jam is home made fig jam
4:09 am
MVA
denby is much further north, we live on the welsh side of the Bristol channel
4:09 am
sandyloo
ok time to feed the animals before it gets dark
4:10 am
rubyfoo
Although I grow figs, there are never enough to make jam although I love it. Have you ever had it with foie gras? It is heave (not for you, MVA)
4:10 am
sandyloo
bbl - have 47 left
4:10 am
rubyfoo
see you later sandyloo, I have 60 left and won't have any more time until tonight - airport this afternoon; first of May visitors arriving in Geneva

Hello lynxxx, how are you?
4:57 am
lynxxx
Very well, nicely cool, think Winter is on its way well and truly. How are you? are you airlines still grounded?
4:58 am
Haz1558
I'm well. Yes, I think they were to be grounded over some UK and Irish airspace for a period starting today. They were off yesterday for a while and then started up again. It's all quite unsettling!
4:59 am
Haz1558
Meanwhile, there are still people stranded abroad from the first disruption. I can see stowing away on ships becoming an ever more inviting prospect for some.
4:59 am

Soodle was very very cross about it yesterday, son was stuck in Ireland
5:00 am

anyone have the first se6,18?
5:00 am

I know. One of husband's business partners made it across to England yesterday, keeping everything crossed that he makes it back again. (Ulterior motives, he's due to work this weekend)
5:01 am

I wondered if it was in the Central Time Zone since I do and the grid switches at our midnight.
6:16 am
Nancy Boy
As for where in the USA - I guess you can figure it out by the time zone babble uses
6:16 am
herinfernallady
Sandy if you online shop make sure it has a lock on the website. Always have a separate account with money just for those purchases
6:16 am
Trifioso
make sense, merk, as it's one am (dread) for me here in boston

in other news - survived last night's "puberty talk" at the middle school. Tertiare was SCARLET the entire time, and one def highlight was when one of the other little girls there turned around, in full view of everyone, pointed at her mom and said "DO NOT answer any of the questions, mom!" OH, we all rolled!!!

6:25 am

my mum gave me 'the talk' when i was 12 - she was very serious and asked 'any questions?' I thought fast, not really having a clue what she was going on about. My question: Does the queen get her period? LOL

6:27 am

I would have thought sprinkling rose petals afterwards might be more useful ...
6:30 am

it would give you a helluvafright, wouldn't it, and make you wonder what you'd eaten, if you weren't expecting them
6:30 am

although...one of the worst moments of sex education was, for me, watching the birth video. It was alright, but when we got to the end, our teacher thoughtlessly rewound it :S
6:31 am

ok, I saw something new and interesting if anyway wants to know
6:31 am
EspritdJean
(waiting)
6:31 am
herinfernallady

NB, I used to watch birth videos at uni. The women were smiling and holding the little babies as they came out. I thought it looked a piece of cake! Did I get a shock!!!
6:32 am
EspritdJean
there is a special blanket that protects one who sleeps with a person who farts in bed
6:32 am
Nancy Boy
it was a real video Herin! Just a real live birth. The baby came out, the baby went BACK IN, and several years later - ooh look, I'm gay ;)

6:34 am
EspritdJean
google "better marriage blanket", you will see, there is even a funny video

Good morning all

how bad is the water in your area?
7:39 am
Anniebrook
hi Mr Bob
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
I'm very lucky but 19 deaths in the state, 9 here in Davidson County
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
massive flooding of homes and downtown Nashville, including landmarks
7:40 am
wildcat17
not anyone close to you I hope
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
13 inches of rain in 2 days
7:40 am
Anniebrook
devastation
7:40 am
Uneaixoise
no, no personal loss -- again, I'm soooo lucky
7:41 am
Anniebrook
hello boo
7:41 am
Uneaixoise
worst flooding in Nashville's history
7:42 am
herinfernallady
Do you need an ark?
7:42 am
Uneaixoise
not me, herin, but many many people have been rescuing families in personal boats, canoes, etc.
7:44 am
herinfernallady
Une we have had worse in a day BUT and big BUT no one has been hurt or died
7:45 am
Uneaixoise
i know you have extreme weather, herin . . . big concern right now is that water processing plants are flooded and clean water supply for the city is running out
7:46 am
herinfernallady
eww
7:46 am
Uneaixoise
if anyone is interested, youtube has tons of videos posted by folks all over the state
7:46 am
herinfernallady
That really sucks
7:47 am
Uneaixoise
so infuriating, herin -- the mayor has been asking people to conserve water and on the the news last nite they showed carwashes still operating -- insane
7:49 am
DR1965
Une- My thoughts are with the people of Nashville. My younger brother used to live there
7:49 am
Uneaixoise
thanks, DR
7:49 am
DR1965
The pictures of the Opry make me so sad.
7:50 am
herinfernallady
We only have car washes that are very sparse with water. Damn it I inhaled my hot choc
7:50 am
herinfernallady
That flooded to?
7:50 am
Uneaixoise
i know, and there was flooding at the new Symphony, museums, etc., in addition to people's homes
7:50 am
DR1965
Yes Herin..
7:50 am
jmitch
carwashes (most) actually recycle about 80-90% of their water.
7:51 am
herinfernallady
You know we get stuff all news
7:51 am
Uneaixoise
the good thing is that there's a strong community spirit here and neighbors are helping neighbors, musicians are planning benefit concerts, etc.

8:41 am
herinfernallady
It is nice to see fashion that isn't rediculous
8:42 am
Riverdance
with 2 kids and hanging out at ball fields - fashion is not at the top of my vocabulary right now
8:42 am
herinfernallady
I have my dream wardrobe lined up when I become rich and famous :D
8:42 am
herinfernallady
Momn I mean pretty skirts and jumpers things that real people would wear

herinfernallady
o that too.
8:45 am
herinfernallady
Considering I have a rather fat arse according to designers there is not much out there for real woman
8:47 am
Riverdance

8:50 am
herinfernallady
So do i. but I am losing weight due to having a horrid cold and that i can afford to do
8:51 am
Riverdance
I am gaining by the day here - will need to get into some workout place or something now that i have my breath back
8:53 am
herinfernallady
My best friends misses got asked if she is having twins. She is due in October and she is already huge :D
8:56 am
Riverdance
thats pretty rude. I hated that when I was pregnant when someone would ask if I was due soon and it was months away. Some woman pop early while others dont.
8:56 am
herinfernallady
Well in her case it is fairly cute and cool as I think 2 of her co workers are also pregnant due around the same time.
8:57 am
herinfernallady
So there has been baby bump comparision
8:57 am
Riverdance
when I was pregnant for my daughter, there were 13 of us pregnant at the same time in an office of 60. The big boss was in a panic.
8:58 am
herinfernallady

8:58 am
Riverdance

Not a bad puzzle but the last 10 were a killer for me
10:11 am
guernseygirl
me too. especially the st words
10:12 am
Riverdance
I really need to get to work now - have a great day all - happy babbling
10:13 am
guernseygirl
i'm going to have a few rounds of wordsplay - does anyone else play that?
10:13 am
Riverdance
I do and love that game too. Thats how I heard about this one. Been playing wordsplay for a couple years now.
10:14 am
Krysten
No, never heard of it...I play Wordtwist though.
10:14 am
peabody
Do you play the 4x4 or 5 board
10:14 am
guernseygirl
wordsplay's a boggle game against the clock. that's how i came to this one as well, Mom.
10:15 am
Riverdance
I havent seen you on wordsplay guernsey - do you go by the same name
10:15 am
guernseygirl
i play as rachel on the 5 board
10:15 am
Riverdance
I do better on 4's but do switch to the dark side on occasion
10:15 am
Krysten
I'm Gambit0405 (also my pogo name) and play 4 boards.
10:15 am
peabody
I heard about this from MNH on the chat and came in and am hooked. I play both - like the 5 better
10:15 am
guernseygirl
i've been doing much better since i started babble, but the dictionaries are different
10:16 am
guernseygirl
which can be annoying
10:16 am
peabody
I know it drives me crazy here when I try and put in a word that wordsplay accepts but this one doesn't. I'm skiz on wordsplay
10:16 am
Riverdance
i started on 5 but my scores stink - so switched to 4 months ago and can usually get into the top10
10:17 am
Riverdance
I dont find the people there as friendly. I won a couple games last week and not one person said congrats. I also cheer on the winners.
10:18 am
Krysten
Does anyone here play on Pogo?
10:18 am
peabody
I know - they seem to ignore any new person that gets to the top. Same thing happened to me I tied with someone for first place and they cheered them.
10:19 am
guernseygirl
i gave up on the chat for all the same reasons. must try wordtwist Krysten
10:19 am
Riverdance
I'll look for you all but need to run now. No I dont Krysten. I'll cheer you on peabody. POOF

10:20 am
guernseygirl
oh, ive googled it. will visit the site.
10:21 am
Krysten
Pogo is my absolute addiction. Its an online games room for many, many games
10:21 am
Krysten
From cards, to board games, to word games, silly games, everything!
10:22 am
guernseygirl
i can see i'll have to set aside time for it.
10:22 am
kipas
me too. I love backgammon, word whomp and poppit.
10:22 am
Krysten
It can be free with lots of great games or you can join the club for a fee which gives you more games and more access to game rooms.
10:23 am
Krysten
I usually go in cycles as to which games I play. Babble helped me finish the boggle game there!
10:24 am
Krysten
What is your pogo name kipas?

It's my grandson, 2 1/2 months old ... his Momma went back to work half days yesterday.
11:04 am
Boobear
oh my. I bet she was glad to have a little break
11:04 am
Boobear
I bet he is cute
11:04 am
Merk
No, she was not ready to go back. She nurses him and I will vouch for the fact that you have to give them some practice with a bottle before Momma leaves.
11:05 am
Merk
He will not starve to death because Momma is home by noon, but he cries thru the whole experience when I try to feed him.
11:05 am
Merk
But he's a doll.

It was just myself I was referring to as a maniac... Absolutely no offence intended.
1:39 pm
Barb's Horses
there is nothing wrong with being a Wiccan from what i know they are very pleasant people...it is Hollywood that gave them such a bad rap..and Salem of course but then people were afraid of what they didn't know
1:39 pm
pugmama763
not offended ,it's just a common fiction in our society
1:40 pm
Barb's Horses

taking a short break from editing a peer's papers. Wow. It's harder to do than I expected (would be easier if I didn't know her so well -- don't want to hurt feelings), and it's a great start, but not "done" yet.
2:15 pm
stidmama
brb, Lucky is apparently DESPERATE!~
2:15 pm
Vicuna
st7 - start with a road, don't double vowel but do double final letter, add the extra vowel back on the end; diff final vowel for other st7
2:17 pm
jmcnrick
uh so you would rather her do a poor job than to hurt her feelings
2:17 pm
Kaplan the Magne

2:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Duh.
2:22 pm
stidmama
and no jmc, I thought long and hard about what her essential points were, highlighted those for her, suggested eliminating redundancies, bringing together each point in a single place (rather than scattered throughout), eliminating un-necessary qualifiers and transition words, and making the paper active rather than passive voice.
2:23 pm
stidmama
(that's the short version of what I did)
2:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Need st7/37 and te6/18 for fireworks
2:23 pm
Kaplan the Magne

2:24 pm

I only wish, stid! But cannot afford the journey atm.
2:36 pm
lawyer-1
how far from Seattle?
2:36 pm
stidmama
about an hour south, lawyer
2:36 pm
lawyer-1
What is the date?
2:36 pm
stidmama
I know. the "affordability" factor keeps me from running over and having a babble meetup in the netherlands, too. :-(
2:36 pm
stidmama
August 21
2:37 pm
stidmama
jmc is coming -- the date is on her schedule! and pini, and a bunch of folks from BRitish Columbia, too!!!

2:37 pm
stidmama

2:38 pm
lawyer-1
I'm even missing the 1 in Baltimore this weekend
2:38 pm
stidmama
*perturbed mama look*
2:38 pm
sprite
woooot found both of the 10s without help.
2:38 pm
stidmama
I will actually be on actual vacation in August, could perhaps drive up for a mini-meet up if you wanted.
2:38 pm
lawyer-1
no...going to visit new grandchald who is due to arrive in June
2:38 pm
stidmama
go sprite go! (there are TENS?)
2:38 pm
PAV3
how thoughtful and nice to be invited Stid...if I'm still at my current job, most likely not a trip I can make as Juy & Aug are my busy months and I'm restricted from travelling or engaging in risky behavior, lest I become incapacitated and unable to complete our budget. I'm valuable enough for them to worry about, but not enough to pay well....
2:38 pm
sprite
oh and all 9s. This is a first! (ok they weren't hard, I know)
2:39 pm
stidmama
that stinks too, PAV. wanted, but not "valued" (are you a teacher? rofl)
2:39 pm
sprite
they should really reward you better then, PAV!
2:40 pm
PAV3
I'm the lowest paid CFO in AZgov't...
2:40 pm
stidmama
Arizona??? gah. in AUGUST? (double gah)
2:40 pm
stidmama

2:41 pm
stidmama
oooh! I found the african fly!
2:41 pm
sprite
how nice, lawyer, about the grandbabe
2:41 pm
stidmama
I don't have ANY 9s. or 10s. *sigh*
2:41 pm
sprite
wtg stiddie :) Now slap it!
2:41 pm
lawyer-1
Arizona...land of the immigrant
2:41 pm
sprite
they are all gerunds
2:41 pm
stidmama
didn't realize you were so venerable, lawyer! what a wonderful reason to travel!
2:41 pm
PAV3
I will keep on the burner a day trip perhaps, fly in and back, if I should also be handsomely rewarded
2:41 pm
stidmama
LOL sprite!
2:42 pm
lawyer-1
it's number 10....number 11 is due in Oct., but that's a local product
2:42 pm
sprite
if I were there, I'd hug you personally, PAV
2:42 pm
PAV3
yes, all my friends are invited to visit us here in AZ...bring your guns, no permits required for concealed weapons, but don't forget your ID and birth certificate, and English translator
2:42 pm
stidmama
??? 11 grandbabies? wow... that's a lot of birthday cards!
2:42 pm
sprite
wow, 10 so far, you are rich, lawyer
2:43 pm
stidmama
no hablo stupidese, PAV. I can't even THINK of going somewhere that mean-spirited.
2:44 pm
lawyer-1
that's why I stay out of court, stid
2:44 pm
stidmama
yep. me too. (hides from mean people)
2:45 pm
PAV3
yes, so my eldest sis calls me the weekend after the legis was signed and asked if I was safe? we were born and raised in MI, though I do have a "green card" (my certif of LIVE birth)
2:45 pm
stidmama
my concern is based on family history... the way the fascists got it all started in Europe. Very scary. Very very very scary.
2:45 pm
lawyer-1
My 2 eldest kids were born in Canada. I am warning them to avoid AZ
2:47 pm
PAV3
yep...we're the second coming of Nazi-ism ,evidently...I tell peeps not come if you can;t stand the heat...used to be a kitchen joke...
2:48 pm
stidmama
part of me wants to be crazy and go down there without any identification, and refuse to speak English -- french, spanish, german... but not English. And see what they do. But since I look northern European...
2:48 pm
stidmama
but then, I am a wimp. and I don't have the time or the money right now. But I am really that angry.
2:49 pm
lawyer-1
Just wait until I sell all of my AZ real estate holdings. That will bring their economy down!
2:50 pm
stidmama
LOL lawyer! that would work. for now, I will just not purchase things that are made in Arizona.
2:50 pm
stidmama
which is not good for you, PAV, of course. The problem, with boycotts is that innocent people are hurt first.
2:50 pm
lawyer-1
and I won't vote for McCain
2:50 pm
PAV3
years ago, here in my own condo complex, where I am on the HOA board, I was called a "wetback wannabe' because of my 'relaxed' dressing on my days off...I thanked them and told them to keep their pets leashed at all times and went about my business...they eventually moved
2:51 pm
Nancy Boy
have I missed something big? ...what's happening in AZ?
2:51 pm
PAV3
I haven't voted for McCain yet...
2:51 pm
stidmama
wow. I can't even imagine being treated that way. I would have found some rattlesnake poop and put it through their mailslot...
2:51 pm
sprite
hiya Nancy Boy :)
2:51 pm
stidmama
hey NB. they're being mean to people.
2:51 pm
lawyer-1
u better stay away from there, NB
2:52 pm
lawyer-1
u r a ferener
2:52 pm
stidmama
oooh! down to 55! listless! but still no 9s or 10s.
2:52 pm
PAV3
Boy, you've missed th news? AZ passed a STATE law making it "illegal to be in the country illegally"
2:52 pm
Nancy Boy
*mwah**mwah* for Stid and Sprite ;)
2:52 pm
sprite
stiddie, go go gooooo
2:52 pm
Nancy Boy
lol Lawyer. I'm a foreigner here!
2:53 pm
Nancy Boy
wow, Pav - why?!
2:53 pm
sprite
but not on babble you aren't, Nancy Boy
2:53 pm
PAV3
and I emphasized the STATE because immigration is a federal purview...
2:53 pm
lawyer-1
NB...you must be the original man without a country
2:53 pm
stidmama
*sends hugs to Leo, too*
2:53 pm
Nancy Boy
got that Sprite ;)
2:53 pm
sprite
and hi to Leo, indeed
2:54 pm
stidmama
Nancy Boy, you -- and PAV -- and all of us -- ought to be considered at home where you are. As a protest to the essentialization of people, I refuse to answer the census "race" question with anything but "human."
2:54 pm
PAV3
we have too many idiots who feel the immigrants have taken over and the feds can't/won't control our border
2:54 pm
sprite
yayyyy for stiddie!
2:54 pm
Nancy Boy
I guess so, Lawyer. I'm not English but I'm definitely not Korean, especially now that I don't have any family connections there anymore. I never thought about this! I'm drifting around on this huge planet!
2:55 pm
stidmama
and there are federal laws that are enforceable. The Arizona law just goes too far in my opinion, making it a requirement for police officers (not federal agents) to report and arrest people they "suspect" to be in the U.S. without permission.
2:55 pm
sprite
born: yes / sex: selective but intensive / race: human
2:55 pm
lawyer-1
Well, stid, there are those who say I am not a member of that race
2:55 pm
PAV3
NB - you a re at home where your heart is...that applies to me as well, Since my younger bro banished me from my home in Albuq...but never fear, he have his come uppance one of these days...
2:55 pm
stidmama
except for one small slice of my heritage, I am not native to the United States... and because I am a "mutt" I don't belong anywhere else either.
2:56 pm
sprite
*reaches out and pulls Nancy Boy right into Babble land*
2:56 pm
stidmama
PAV, and Nancy Boy, and everyone: you are all my kin, and you are all welcome here. Just not all at once (please) *eyes 10x12 foot living room sadly*
2:57 pm
Nancy Boy
true that, Pav...well, we people banished from our homes must stick together :)
2:57 pm
PAV3
10x12 ? that's two bedrooms and a dinette!!!
2:57 pm
sprite
*seconds stid*
2:57 pm
stidmama
and with that, I must return my kinship with the students of the world and get back to work... *sigh*
2:58 pm
stidmama
except in summer -- if it's not raining, our acre might be enough to hold a decent party!
2:58 pm
sprite
go for it, stiddie, and *hugs* to you
2:58 pm
PAV3
thanks Stid!...I'll keep Aug date on the calndar just in case
2:59 pm
stidmama
(((((sprite))))) be well, be excellent, be happy. my thoughts are with you every day, that you will soon be painfree and able to get around in comfort.
2:59 pm
sprite
aw thanks stid!
2:59 pm
stidmama
see you-all again soon I hope -- and if you think you might want to come in August, send me an email at some point (in profile) so I can keep you up to date on venue
2:59 pm
Nancy Boy
bye, Stid!
3:06 pm
Nancy Boy
aaaand Leo's home. Looks like I'm off too! Bye :)

Hi Boo, and Bye Boo, and to all babblers I haven't met before - HI!
4:55 pm
Scrabbler
This pain, when it intensifies and throbs, is so agitating. I will see dentist in 23 hrs.
4:56 pm
Scrabbler
I recall your toothache, Soodle. Was tooth infected?
4:56 pm
Mom
that is okay Jazzy we all do it at one time or another, except for me I do it all the time
4:56 pm
jazzyfizzle
it wasnt even a word though, so jokes on me! haha
4:57 pm
Soodlebum
It sure was Scrabbs. A course of antibiotics cured the infection. the dentist said he could save the tooth for approx €1,800, or extract it for €80, so I said Bye bye tooth!
4:58 pm
Scrabbler
This is a big molar so I cannot say goodbye to it. I hope it can be fixed simply, if it caused by a cracked filling or tooth or cavity. I hope I do not need a root canal and crown= mega-bucks!

no school today. week "off" for teaching, except I can't teach because they are te7 at the school I go to. So I have to teach in two more weeks. Which means I spent today revising lesson plans for final approval by the classroom teacher, and peer editing a friend's philosophy paper.

Bugsaw
sorry stid, babies always distract me. they are soo much fun and snuggle so well
6:23 pm
Bugsaw
Anyhow, I had a good day today because my student was away. Yesterday he was miserable and today he was sick so I guess there is a correlation between attitude and illness.
6:23 pm
stidmama
you are all in my heart. My first was a long labor, the second very short. I hope mrs dan will have a (relatively) pleasant and easy labor. Expect her to be a bit grumpy in the process....
6:24 pm
stidmama
oh gee, bugs, that's too bad for the kid, but glad you had a quieter day. I am not a terrific student when I am ill, either.
6:25 pm
Bugsaw
I gave my notice that I would not be able to work with him again next year because I am burning out. I feel so much better for having said it.
6:26 pm

GOOD FOR YOU bugs! *proud mama look* better for you both to not get into a burned out situation.

6:27 pm
Bugsaw
thanks stid. I have been agonizing over it for months but he is SO needy and his family is not at all supportive of anything we do for him. I can't continue to be undermined daily and he has met all of the goals I set for him last year.
6:28 pm
Bugsaw
He doesn't know yet that I won't be his worker next year but I want to wait until they have someone else lined up.
6:28 pm

7:43 pm
redturtlehead
hawk, it is the last 6 lines of a poem.
7:43 pm
welki
we have govt run lotteries too, provincial and national, but boyhowdy, i've yet to find out where the money goes
7:43 pm
Joanne123

7:44 pm

The pr7/32 time is 10:39. I have just ig6/24 my FWs so here is my story of cl5/14 for today.I hope you're good sl 7/36 when finding the words.Today I started my second as a te 6/18. Students in New York state started their second week of te 7/36.Last week the students had the ELA, this week they take the math te 4/4.Te 6/18s are tired of getting ready for these te5/10. Some of them are starting to pu 4/6 over all the te 4/4 prep. In February they were all pr7/32ed and took a pr7/32 to see how they were doing. They didn't do well then so I hope they do better this time Teachers told the students if they got a good night's re4/4 and they tried their be4/6,then that's all that matters.Some students get so nervous that their pu 5/14 starts to rae. Te 7/36 pu 4/6 some students in a bad mood & they start to re6/18 school. I te4/4ed 6th grade.At one point the fire alarm went off & the students le4/5 out of their seats.It turned out to be a false alarm.Te7/36 also effects teachers. I haven't sl5/12 much either because of the te5/10s.But I try not to be too st 5/10 with students because they're under enough pressure. After this week, te 7/36 will be over 'til they have to be re6/18 again next Spring But te4/4 prep will start again in Se4/5ember.I hope this story gave you a cl 4/6 about words in the grid. I am going to go jump into my sh5/12 & watch tv for the re4/4 of the ni 4/4 with my two pe 4/5. Adios all!

Anyone around to help with the two st 7/28s?
11:34 pm
sandyloo
they are the same with a different ending each
11:35 pm
sandyloo
just thinking of a clue
11:35 pm
gwenski
I'll wait. :)
11:37 pm
sandyloo
think st+++ch limo + **a for two and two for **a
11:37 pm
sandyloo
try that anyway and if you can't get it I will try again
11:37 pm
gwenski
Got it! Thanks
11:37 pm
gwenski
And the other one!
11:37 pm
sandyloo
the last bit could be something you hit a golfball off
11:38 pm
sandyloo
the other one has a different vowel ending
11:39 pm
sandyloo
**p up the teapot to pour tea
11:41 pm
gwenski
Just need to find four more words. (Up much too late, but waiting a phone call about grandbabies coming. Water has broken!)
11:41 pm
sandyloo
how exciting - need any clues
11:42 pm
gwenski
Sure! 1st re 6/18 and 7/28?
11:43 pm
gwenski
Make that Se, not Re
11:43 pm
gwenski
Oh, and first re6/18.
11:44 pm
sandyloo
think of a group of 6
11:44 pm
gwenski
Recap: 1st re6/18, 1st se6/18, 1st se7/28.
11:44 pm
gwenski
Got the se6!
11:45 pm
sandyloo
next is the same but think of the ending as the same as the chapel michaelangelo painted
11:46 pm
sandyloo
re 6 is the plural of the one above it
11:47 pm
sandyloo
or is it the one above which is the same as the re5 and add a consonant before the last letter
11:47 pm
gwenski
I'm looking for the re6 right after the re4/6, please
11:47 pm
sandyloo
that is 'have you **** the letter
11:48 pm
gwenski
D'oh. thanks
11:48 pm
sandyloo
re + give your con**** to the marriage
11:48 pm
sandyloo

11:48 pm
gwenski
And my last word was se5/14. Thanks so much!
11:49 pm
gwenski

11:50 pm
sandyloo
