sorry to hear, stid...if it were me, I'd probably wait until Tom gets back
12:00 am
stidmama

so... no ideas other than telling him to stay off computers for the near future???

Problem is, of course, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends... all are "available" through his Gmail address book. HE will either lose all his contacts, or they will start to receive random email of as-yet undetermined content.

Clues are up
12:02 am
stidmama

I have let a few folks know already...
12:02 am
Pinikula

thx lickety

hootowl

the cmp should have done a backup if you haven't disabled it. But you'll lose your work and have to change all your passwords
12:02 am

that's true hoot, but I don't know what he had set up.

Thanks, Lickety!
12:02 am
stidmama

good phantom, gremliin
12:03 am
stidmama

I guess I can only wait. I no longer have full knowledge of the systems Tom has set up either -- being in school has curtailed both time and interest in the background workings of our IT setups.
12:04 am
hootowl

I'm trying to remember....I think it's in control panel
12:04 am
jillibus

I think I missed something, stid -- big computer problem?
12:04 am
Pinikula

sorry I can't help, stid :(
12:04 am
stidmama

I am relatively sure my computer (running XP) is uncompromised; I have seen a few threads that Windows 7 is allowing things like this to happen.
12:04 am
stidmama

Okay, I will check it out tomorrow, thanks hoot. I hate feeling so un-knowledgeable!
12:04 am
hootowl

microsoft hasn't the foggiest notion how to make a cmp safe!
12:05 am

Oh boy -- my new laptop has Win 7.
12:05 am
stidmama

anyway... I am thinking that perhaps ALL of us should make sure we have a hard copy of the people who are in our online address books... so we can at least notify people if things like this happen.
12:05 am

Since I stopped working things have changed a lot. Used to be able to ask people
12:05 am

12:06 am

computer
12:06 am

12:13 am

12:13 am
Pinikula

no doubt, meli ;)
12:13 am
MLFAN17

mel nah we wouldnt get that lucky lol
12:14 am
jillibus

mlf says it's obvious who wins but I don't think so and don't want to know.
12:14 am
hootowl

Yeah but I'd expect it to be on the same time as I get it and that was 8 central ---so what? 10 pacific
12:14 am
MLFAN17

jill not gonna tell you dont worry lol
12:14 am
Pinikula

8 central is 6 Pacific (too early)
12:14 am
hootowl

I won't tell you and obvious is not something you find on that show!
12:15 am
MLFAN17

But jill it was a good finale
12:15 am
hootowl

ok - but it's 12:15 now so there is a delay

well that ST 8 isnt related i know that much
12:18 am
mkg

almost half way. then sleep
12:18 am
hootowl

I wish someone would explain to me how calling these combos is not clueing? Whish is supposedly not done for the first hour!
12:19 am
MLFAN17

mkg did you get the 10?
12:19 am
MLFAN17

combo isnt that specific in helping hoot
12:20 am
meliae

we always call out the longer words the first few mins its like a race to find good ones
12:20 am
hootowl

baloney!
12:20 am
MLFAN17

yes we do mel
12:20 am
gremlinn

I usually don't after Lickety puts clues up, because there's no point, everyone has access to all the two letter starts at that point
12:21 am
MLFAN17

hoot not waiting until the second hour isnt an actual rule its omething someone made up or some agreed upon we can clue any tgime
12:21 am
MLFAN17

time
12:21 am
hootowl

but if you notice, they don't use it. They'd rather ask someone for them.
12:21 am
jillibus

I hardly ever see the long words at the start. I like to watch them grow later.
12:22 am
MLFAN17

jill sometimes they stuc out some times they just dont at the beginning huh?lol
12:22 am
gremlinn

hootowl: I have no idea who uses the clues and calls words they haven't actually found
12:22 am
meliae

I dotn like to see real clues for at least the first hour but stats dont bother me
12:22 am
hootowl

i know it's not a usual "rule". Just seems silly to say one thing and do something else.
12:23 am
MLFAN17

i have never done that grem kind of interesting huh?
12:23 am
pugmama763

I agree hoot--certain people don't want to put in any effort & just get 'spoon fed"
12:23 am
meliae

clues are different I think that is what people refer to as the "no clues" un written rule lol
12:23 am
hootowl

I freely admit I am more than peeved at some of the stuff going on here. How come no one remembers a word from the day before?
12:23 am
MLFAN17

correct mel
12:23 am

Hi Jilli, just arrived, early for me.
1:32 am
jillibus

hello sally -- what time is it for you?
1:33 am
Sally-catlover

7.30am, but I have been up since 6 this morning because of a fire next door in their barn. 6 fire engines, water bowser and two other vehicles! No-one and no horses hurt, thank goodness.
1:33 am
KatieMcG

morning
1:33 am
Sally-catlover

I should say those were the vehicles that came, not what was in the barn.
1:34 am
Sally-catlover

Hi Katie
1:34 am

Oh my, that would wake anyone! Glad there are no injuries.
1:34 am

1:34 am
jillibus

Hi katie :)
1:34 am
Sally-catlover

My husbahd heard explosions at 5.45 which woke us.
1:35 am
jillibus

What exploded?
1:35 am
Sally-catlover

We called fire brigade but luckily owners were there and had called them. Only one horse in the stables at the time which they got out, the others were in the field (which runs from them and behind our land).
1:35 am
Sally-catlover

Not sure what exploded but owner said possibly diesel
1:38 am
KatieMcG

I'm assuming that no one was hurt
1:39 am
Sally-catlover

No, no-one hurt Katie, and only one horse in stable next door which they got out OK. Owner said there was £23,000 worth of hay/straw which had just been delivered though. Didn't like to ask about insurance at that time of morning!
1:51 am
KatieMcG

100 words, better go and get ready for work, see you all later x

Hello Haz
3:13 am
Haz1558

We've got blue skies but a fresh wind. How's the weather with you?
3:14 am
sprite

cold and overcast. A rather dark day.
3:15 am
Haz1558

That's not so good! I know we need rain and everything, but sunshine days are so much more heartening.
3:15 am
sprite

we had a good series of days. I hope things will clear up soon. My girl just left for school camp, will be on her bike a lot the next 3 days.
3:16 am
Haz1558

I hope she enjoys it! Is it just her class or is there a whole mixture of ages?
3:17 am
sprite

Just her class. 7th grade is out as well but to a different location. She was as hyper as can be. So sweet.
3:18 am
Haz1558

And are they actually camping in tents or are they in other accommodation?
3:19 am
Atalante

helloooo
3:19 am
sprite

we aren't supposed to know until after they leave, but since they didn't need to bring sleeping bags and such, I am quite certain it will be something farmlike.
3:19 am
Haz1558

Hello, Ata.
3:19 am
sprite

hi Ata *hugs* How's the leg and did you bounce back well from overdoing things?
3:20 am
Haz1558

Yes, I think the lack of sleeping bags would be a clue - unless they're making them forage from the land!
3:20 am
rubyfoo

good morning everybody
3:20 am
Atalante

erm well ... my medial ligament is fine. good news. my anterior cruciate is busted. not so good news! but at least we know now!

hehehe that would be pretty rough on some of them. Caya would be fine, she isn't spoiled and knows how to camp rough. But some.... ouch!
3:21 am

hellooo ata, how is your leg? Will you be "hopping"{ down to London on Friday?
3:21 am

hi rubyfoo
3:21 am
Haz1558

Oh poor Ata, not such good news.
3:21 am
rubyfoo

that was "hello" on three cups of expresso, sprite!
3:21 am

argh Ata, not too good news. What is the plan?
3:22 am
sprite

rubyfoo, calm down, I already had one super hyper girl today ;)
3:22 am
Atalante

I think we'll have to see after physio tomorrow! Getting to the hospital for the MRI exhausted me for 2 days lol!
3:22 am
sprite

*looking up cruciate in the meantime. Sounds so painful!*
3:23 am
rubyfoo

I can imagine! I'll be at the Copthorne Tara on Scarsdale place in Kensington, 020 7872 2000
3:23 am
rubyfoo

have a few minutes before insurance agent arrives; I'm trying to negotiate a better rate (in French!) and husband won't deal with it!
3:24 am
Atalante

am a bit fed up of it all today!
3:24 am
sprite

found it. Physio indeed. Take care, Ata!
And MRIs are doing that to people. Not just the whole being up and about plus hospital thing, but the MRI especially.
3:25 am
sprite

I can imagine, Ata. Due for a good hissy fit.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

if not this trip, ata, another one then. The last thing you need is pressure from a virtual stranger!
3:26 am
rubyfoo

I'll be there anyway, still trying to organize food for B and the pups. You'd think I was going away for a month, not 3 days
3:26 am
rubyfoo

and B keeps saying "Don't feel guilty" Have a good time"
3:26 am
Atalante

but the last thing you need to is spend the time worrying about starving pups!
3:27 am
Haz1558

Just make sure there's gruel in the house.
3:27 am
rubyfoo

"let them eat kibble"
3:27 am

I prepared 3 frozen risotto dinners for them; B just needs to add water and cook them
3:29 am

too early still for the package :(
3:32 am
rubyfoo

it will be interesting to see how long it takes. I've ordered several, to US and UK, and haven't heard from anybody
3:32 am

I hope it's worth waiting for!
3:32 am

it better be, lol
3:34 am

Haz and Ata eyedeep in4 the grid or into private conversation?
3:35 am
Atalante

neither!
3:35 am
Haz1558

No, I'm here. Trying to get spanner to work so that we can have a spanner in the works, but no go.
3:35 am
sprite

Spanner might need thumbs for that?
3:36 am
Haz1558

I just need to move the letter, but it won't go.
3:36 am
sprite

that useless R in the corner should have been an S
3:37 am
Haz1558

It would have improved things, you're right.
3:38 am

for lack of that S, this grid is, not lo4, but done

my dog Wants Something, but I don't know what!

3:39 am

she wants You, All Well! Now!
3:39 am
Atalante

pesting at me! constantly!
3:40 am
Haz1558

Is she staring and then backing away? Or batting you with her paw?
3:40 am
Atalante

batting
3:40 am
Haz1558

Usually Spangle wants attention with the batting. Keep stroking! Don't stop! Love me!
3:41 am
Atalante

I am! I am! But I need hands to type!
3:41 am
Atalante

maybe i'll let her out for a wee and see if that solves things
3:41 am
sprite

hehehe question answered.
3:41 am
Haz1558

If she doesn't want a wee, you'll get that 'She doesn't understand me' look.
3:42 am
sprite

Ok, as said, fireflies, so I am off. Have a good day, all of you. Ata, all the best.
3:42 am
Haz1558

Congratulations, sprite! have a good day.

Atalante

3:53 am
Haz1558

I must tell you about the funeral we were at yesterday. It was one of husband's old bosses who had died - 86 and had still been doing a bit of TB testing up until this winter. The church was full to overflowing with farmers and we sang 'All things bright and beautiful'. It was sweet. And the surgery closed for 2 hours as a mark of respect - unprecedented!
3:53 am
Atalante

awwww how lovely! And wow, great respect! And did every chihuahua have an injured paw during the 2 hours?
3:54 am
Haz1558

We did leave two of the younger vets in the surgery to man the phones in case of emergency, but it looked as though most farmers were at the funeral.
3:55 am
Atalante

now that shows you've lived a good and loved life
3:55 am

And the normal surgery hour (2-3) was cancelled, but an extra hour tacked onto the evening one.
3:56 am
Haz1558

He was a nice man. He had great difficulties pronouncing L (like Alex Ferguson) so he used to leave messages saying 'Tell S that there's a wam wam coming into the surgery (a ram lamb).
3:57 am
Atalante

you really should write the NI Herriot version
3:57 am
Haz1558

I could employ a ghost writer.
3:58 am

FM!

Atalante

oh gosh, the tennis tart on tv again. ugh.
3:59 am

yep!

The back panel is cat?
4:01 am
Atalante

yep!!
4:02 am

Fur lined cabinets, the latest thing.
4:02 am
Atalante

idiot cat. you should have seen her trying to get in there!
4:03 am
Haz1558

One of the farms husband goes to is overrun by cats. The farmer lives in his car, the cats have taken over the house and the yard has stacks of cat food tins. He insists on checking under husbands car before he leaves to make sure that no cat has stowed away.
4:03 am
Atalante

!!!
4:04 am
Haz1558

Literally, the man lives in his car. It's a bit bizarre, to say the least.
4:04 am
Atalante

isn't that called animal hoarding?
4:04 am
Haz1558

It's called madness.
4:05 am
Atalante

that too
4:06 am
Haz1558

Why would a cat stow away when it's got the run of a house? Unless it's had a row with some of the others or wants to be a travelling cat and see the world.
4:06 am
Atalante

exactly! cats know when they've got a good thing
4:06 am
Atalante

is he a good farmer??
4:07 am
Haz1558

I don't know, he's not got huge numbers of animals or anything so probably just scrapes by. Enough to keep the cats in Kittycat.
4:08 am
Atalante

that's distinctly not normal
4:08 am
Haz1558

We do have some 'characters' to contend with.
4:09 am
Haz1558

Okay, must head off and get something else done. Be good and I'll be back later!
4:09 am
Haz1558

*gone*
4:09 am

does he look after the cats? I presume so! Bet he doesn't neuter them all though!

It's really late (or early) here... how does WEdnesday look to you?
4:54 am

hi stiddy
4:54 am
stidmama

Atalante, are you ready for your tap dancing lessons to resume??? *innocent mama look*
4:54 am
Atalante

loool I wish!
4:55 am
stidmama

I just wanted to announce that the stidkid got LUCKY. His gmail wasn't actually hacked after all -- I got it figured out and restored... with a password that will make him cringe *WICKED mama look*
4:55 am
herinfernallady

My head hurts
4:55 am
stidmama

so I have to pull EVERYTHING together for the morning because I know I won't have the energy to get up early, but wanted to stop by since I was up anway...
4:55 am
Atalante

loool go you!
4:56 am
stidmama

*gets cool chamomile tea for lady*
4:56 am
stidmama

did you get YOUR grad school conundrum figured out Atalante (I think it was 2 days ago, your time)
4:57 am
stidmama

I wrote an "author's note" to one of my faculty saying that what I turned in as a draft last week will just have to do... after spending multiple HOURS tonight working on the email problem, I didn't have time or energy to redo writing.
4:57 am
herinfernallady

I think my school sucks in the sense they gave 3 awards to 3 girls that live at home with wealthy parents and don't have to do stuff all other than their work
4:58 am
Atalante

sort of. I have to write the truth, whether that's what they want to hear or not. We are being asked to evaluate something. So I'm evaluating it!
4:58 am
herinfernallady

Ata your leg sucks :(
4:58 am
Atalante

I know!
4:59 am
herinfernallady

what they doing?
4:59 am
stidmama

Good for you. I am going to evaluate the H-E-double hockey sticks out of this program... in another week when I have time.
5:00 am
stidmama

that sux indeed, lady. I didn't even try for scholarships this year -- was too upset about the way the program made me feel and too worried about my prospects for continuing.
5:01 am
stidmama

Right now, though, I am on a temporary "can do" kick -- I think I have a chance at continuing... just need to think long and hard about the way that I will engage with actual school in the winter quarter when I won't have any contact with children I am teaching.
5:01 am
herinfernallady

See i think it is total bullcrap. People like you or people from OS that have no family here or people like me that have no family in Melb or enough spare money to support me or mental health issues and just do their best
5:01 am
herinfernallady

I think society just likes to kick people when they are down
5:02 am
Atalante

not being annoying, but for all you know, those girls *could* have significant issues at home / with health etc. We don't always know when appearances are perfect
5:02 am
herinfernallady

Um Ata no they don't
5:02 am
herinfernallady

And Ata your cat is a little mutant
5:02 am
Atalante

well that's annoying then
5:03 am
Atalante

lol isnt she just
5:03 am
stidmama

LOL well, I shall leave you ladies to discuss annoying cats and classmates. I have just sent the last job to the printer, so will punch holes, compile notebook and pretend the rest of the work is "good enough."
5:03 am
herinfernallady

Ok my car broke. Insurance is $8000 but I got a $10000 car because my parents helped. How the hell does a 19 year old get a $8000 car to start with
5:03 am
stidmama

(((hugs and choclits))) I miss you!

*poof*
5:04 am
herinfernallady

I think i am just shirty because I didn't go out Sat night and missed seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in an age and I had a huge test
5:04 am
herinfernallady

Loves Stid
5:04 am
Atalante

lool probably, and justifiably!!
5:05 am
herinfernallady

I feel like doing the 5 thing and just stamping my feet
5:05 am
herinfernallady

Stid you will be fine
5:05 am
Atalante

do it! it usually helps :P
5:08 am
herinfernallady

Or I just sleep with the fat kitty who gave me a fat lip
5:08 am
Atalante

awwwwww hi kitty!
5:09 am
herinfernallady

Yep She stretched out and scratched me
5:09 am
Atalante

Sily slept under my duvet last night, curled in a ball between my feet
5:10 am
herinfernallady

awww
5:10 am
herinfernallady

Panny slept on the bed in the middle
5:11 am
herinfernallady

hence the face scratch
5:11 am

Atalante

5:16 am
lynxxx

Were you two around a couple of days ago when were were talking names with Nono?
5:17 am
Atalante

sort of
5:18 am
lynxxx

She is one brave lady, she let out that it was her husbands funeral on Monday, I don't think she wanted to burden anyone here
5:18 am
Atalante

yes, she is! She did mention he'd died, a few days before, but only briefly. She and FM are heroines!
5:19 am
herinfernallady

I do send my love to Nono
5:20 am
herinfernallady

I am confused how FM fits in the equasion but that is ok
5:22 am
Atalante

a similar situation happened to her a few years ago
5:22 am

my husband had a heart attack last September, just before his 84th birthday, and hasn't been the same since. I certainly understand.....

peri* not sou. American
6:10 am
NonoNanette

oh Ruby I am sorry
6:11 am
rubyfoo

he's alive but very depressed ever since; I think he foresees the end....
6:11 am
rubyfoo

we all get older....
6:11 am
NonoNanette

things like that certainly do change a persons outlook. I pary for the best for the both of you
6:11 am
rubyfoo

and he can't seem to see how lucky he is, never having been sick a day in his life!
6:12 am
rubyfoo

thank you NO NO
6:12 am
NonoNanette

how long have you been together?
6:13 am
rubyfoo

not very long - I'm his 4th wife [bluebeard!] and although we've been "together" since '84, we've only been married since Dec '97
6:14 am
rubyfoo

very different from your situation. I was single for 26 years between my two marriages
6:14 am
rubyfoo

and it was wonderful!!!!
6:15 am
NonoNanette

there are advantages to both singledom and being part of a couple
6:16 am
rubyfoo

I think I did very well on my own, finding this very difficult!
6:20 am
NonoNanette

I can only imagine. you had only yourself to consider before, now you have husband to care for who has suddenly lost sight of his vitality
it would seem
6:20 am
rubyfoo

I raised my boy pretty much alone for 7 years
6:20 am
rubyfoo

and he turned out OK
6:21 am
rubyfoo

thank God for my dogs, however!!
6:21 am
NonoNanette

Animals are a great source of comfort to most people
6:22 am
rubyfoo

they are great comfort!
6:22 am
NonoNanette

I think they keep us sane
6:22 am
rubyfoo

yes, for sure
6:22 am
rubyfoo

and our friends!!!!!
6:23 am
NonoNanette

I have always had at least one cat and know I would be very lonely if I didnt have one to pet and lavish attention on
6:23 am
rubyfoo

I can't imagine a house without at least one animal in it!
6:35 am
rubyfoo

why isn't partita in here? isn't that a valid musical form?
6:37 am
NonoNanette

i'm not sure looking it up to see
6:37 am
rubyfoo

anybody lurking who has any 8's or the 10?
6:37 am
rubyfoo

sonata would surely be in!
6:39 am
NonoNanette

it should be valid but then we deal with enable dictionary here and, well, it's anybody's guess why they dont include it
6:39 am
periwinkle

my cat just pooped in the dining room :(
6:39 am
NonoNanette

oh no peri! bad kitty
6:40 am
periwinkle

to her credit, the litter box was pretty full but I may have to take her to the vet
6:40 am
rubyfoo

why? did you go away?
6:40 am
rubyfoo

that is unusual, no?
6:40 am
Mom

Good morning everyone
6:40 am
periwinkle

6:40 am

6:42 am
rubyfoo

but nothing, compared to NoNo!
6:42 am
NonoNanette

peri that is strange behavior for a cat. even if litter box not the cleanest it seems she would have done her business closs to it
6:42 am
Mom

very true.
6:43 am
rubyfoo

and I'm going to London for the weekend YAY!! will get away from DH
6:43 am

6:43 am
periwinkle

are you going to see the Queen, ruby?
6:43 am

6:44 am
periwinkle

here too, ruby
6:44 am
NonoNanette

yes they are, perhaps a phone consult first to see if they have any suggestions
6:44 am
periwinkle

good idea, NoNo
6:44 am
rubyfoo

perhaps I'm be (female equivalent of) Knighted! lol
6:45 am
periwinkle

and this is not my house
6:45 am
rubyfoo

but it's your cat?
6:45 am
periwinkle

yes it is my cat, someone else in the house saw her do it :(
6:45 am
NonoNanette

is it a loose bm peri or a normal one?
6:46 am
periwinkle

normal, thank goodness and not on the carpet
6:46 am
rubyfoo

our chows are so prudish, that we've never seen the female poop; she goes behind the bushes and looks away
6:46 am
NonoNanette

score one for the cat on that I guess. She was not totally naughty
6:46 am
Mom

lol Ruby
6:47 am
periwinkle

I love my cat but she is 14, never had a cat this long
6:47 am
NonoNanette

awe how cute ruby, she likes her privicy
6:47 am
Mom

thank you Nono for the aq words
6:47 am
rubyfoo

we've had 5 chow chows and they all housebreak themselves immediately. Only the first one, who was paper trained, didn't quite get it; she used to put her front paws on the paper and pee on the floor
6:48 am
periwinkle

uh oh
6:48 am
NonoNanette

they do develop problems with age peri, I had to have one put down last year when she became diabetic and could not make it to the litter box in time to pee most of the time
6:48 am
rubyfoo

never would have gotten the aq10!
6:49 am
Mom

uh oh? what happened Peri
6:49 am

NonoNanette

hi Annie
6:50 am

Peri, perhaps Zoe is very fussy and does not want another cat using her litterbox. She might have pooped in protest.
6:50 am
rubyfoo

hello Annie. Today's topic is animals pooping in the house! lol
6:51 am
Anniebrook

Hi ((Mom))
6:51 am

6:51 am

6:51 am
Anniebrook

Hi Ruby!
6:51 am
NonoNanette

is there any animosity between them peri or do they normally get along ok?
6:52 am
periwinkle

they get along, surprisingly, since they were both only cats for 12 years
6:52 am
periwinkle

mine is female, the other is a male
6:52 am
Anniebrook

(((Nono))))
6:54 am
Anniebrook

Before I would take Zoe to the vet, speak to him or her first. Perhaps there is a way this pooping problem can be resolved over the phone.
6:54 am
periwinkle

I will, Annie
6:55 am
periwinkle

bbl
6:55 am
periwinkle

6:55 am

if they get along and have been sharing the little box ok up until now I doubt thats the problem. As I said before speak to the vet first and meanwhile keep an eye on her and see if you can spot any problems

treme? apparently not--what is it?
8:10 am
Uneaixoise

excellent new show on HBO -- all about New Orleans post-Katrina -- amazing cast and writing and music -- they're using a lot of local musicians and others who aren't necessarily actors . . .
8:11 am
Uneaixoise

Treme is a section of New Orleans with a really high concentration of low-income folks, and lots of musicians
8:11 am

8:11 am
Uneaixoise

every time I decide to drop HBO they come along with a new show like this one! :-)
8:12 am
Uneaixoise

what an experience for her, jmc!
8:12 am
jmcnrick

after being a city that she felt comfortable in it became too dangerous because of the additional pressure on the poor there -- broke her heart
8:12 am
jmcnrick

she now lives in the much sa**r Brooklyn
8:14 am
Uneaixoise

indeed -- truly heartbreaking to see and, I'm sure, much more so to actually experience
8:14 am
Uneaixoise

here's the website: www.hbo.com/treme
8:15 am
jmcnrick

i will check it out later. now i am try to get nbt before work :-D
8:15 am
Uneaixoise

oh, absolutely, just an FYI!
8:15 am
jmcnrick

:-)
8:16 am
jmcnrick

do you have the stats on the O and the N in the left column ?
8:17 am
Uneaixoise

os4/4 -- babblet
8:17 am
jmcnrick

lol i had already narrowed it down to be a babblet!
8:17 am
Uneaixoise

no4/4 another frequent itty bitty word in the grid
8:17 am
jmcnrick

8:17 am

8:18 am
Anniebrook

the volcano has settled n
8:18 am
Uneaixoise

tx annie -- didn't see it! LOL
8:18 am
jmcnrick

it is strangely comforting to see the volcano
8:18 am
jmcnrick

ty
8:18 am
Uneaixoise

i agree, jmc :-)
8:19 am
Anniebrook

yes, jmc the volcano and the hawaaian bird
8:20 am
jmcnrick

but I don't like the hairy nosed dolphin!
8:20 am
Anniebrook

neither do I
8:20 am
jmcnrick

silly that words that have no meaning in my life have emotions attached to them
8:20 am
jmcnrick

on the other hand I always attached personalities to numbers
8:21 am
Anniebrook

Words have emotional impacts too
8:22 am
Uneaixoise

jmc, as a child I always had a soft spot for "22" -- go figure LOL
8:22 am
jmcnrick

but usually the words have some connection such as if I had spent any time near the volcano
8:22 am
rubyfoo

hairy-nosed dolphin? eeeew. which babblet is that? Nothing like coming on late!
8:22 am
Anniebrook

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to a hairy nosed dolphin on the subway
8:22 am
jmcnrick

the even numbers were always the good guys, but I secretly felt sorry for the bad guy odd numbers
8:22 am
Uneaixoise

inia, right?
8:23 am
Uneaixoise

jmc LOL!!
8:23 am
rubyfoo

hahah
8:23 am
Uneaixoise

annie LOL
8:23 am
jmcnrick

3 and 5 tried so hard and 9 was tired of being bad but didn't know how to get out of it
8:23 am
Anniebrook

perhaps, because odd (numbers) denote something strange, odd as in frightening
8:24 am
Anniebrook

Never did like that 5
8:24 am
jmcnrick

7, of course, was always trying to look as tough as 9
8:24 am
Anniebrook

LOL, j mc
8:24 am
rubyfoo

my monkeys are falling on the floor and can't find the dolphin or the o or the left-hand n!
8:24 am
Uneaixoise

so was 6 a 9 wannabe??
8:24 am
jmcnrick

and I felt sorry for 8, too since it could never be 10
8:25 am
jmcnrick

the dolphin is not in the grid ruby we were discussing babblets in the abstract
8:25 am
rubyfoo

aaah, abstract babblets! A new art form, I guess
8:25 am
jmcnrick

6 was pretty quiet, never could decide which way to turn in life
8:26 am
Uneaixoise

:-D
8:26 am
rubyfoo

doesn't anybody like 4's?
8:26 am
Uneaixoise

never cared for them . . .
8:27 am
jmcnrick

i always thought 2 and 4 were kinda cute in a fresh kid sorta way
8:27 am
jmcnrick

2 was always so easy to understand and helpful
8:27 am
rubyfoo

non-primes are always more useful!
8:27 am
rubyfoo

I just rescued a green finch which had crashed into the window
8:28 am
jmcnrick

8:28 am

12:55 pm
crosshair

that is quite an acomplishment for one so young!!
12:56 pm
flosey

well, he isn't strong enough yet but has all the moves and knowledge - I think now they go on to the Dans but he has to grow a bit and gain strength
12:57 pm

I agree, I thought Blackbelt was the top!
12:57 pm

it is and there are about 9 levels of the back belt if i am not mistaken

1:05 pm

wow, that's pretty rugged! this son was approached in HS to join the football but he doesn't have the killer instinct, he's big softy

well, we're going to go for a few weeks of physio to see if it's starting to respond to treatment. I still can't bend it much, and the dr is a bit worried about that - it should be getting more bendy by now.

Good afternoon, BabbleRabble.
3:22 pm
BabbleRabble

lily-livered "cowardly," 1605, in "Macbeth;" from lily (in its color sense of "pale, bloodless") + liver, which was a supposed seat of love and passion. A healthy liver is typically dark reddish-brown.

LILY LIVERED
Means cowardly. People once believed that your passions came from you liver. If you were lily livered your liver was white (because it did not contain any blood). So you were a coward.

from Yahoonews: BP started pumping heavy mud into the leaking Gulf of Mexico well Wednesday and said everything was going as planned in the company's boldest attempt yet to plug the gusher that has spewed millions of gallons of oil over the last five weeks.

11:05 pm
nrkii

I'm not here for long... just want to pick up a few more words before I go to bed
11:07 pm
meliae

things are looking up, I thought I had replied to your e-mail, so many to reply too, I am not goign to start the classes until fall term I need more time to adjust, a death a move and a loss of your job and income are enough to deal with at this time.
11:08 pm
stidmama

I am glad you are taking time for that adjustment. Too much "new" is really awful.
11:08 pm
stidmama

I am down to 84 listless... trying to decide whether to stay logged in and take mini-breaks from the little tasks I have left, or whether to just log out and focus so I can get to sleep quicker.
11:09 pm
meliae

I figure when I can go a week without crying then I am ready for drastic changes, well more changes LOL
11:09 pm
nrkii

ugh, my leg hurts too much to babble
11:09 pm
meliae

well there a few tricky ones at least get the high point ones lol
11:09 pm

11:09 pm

11:10 pm
meliae

It does not look like pini is going to make it back in time to finish, she went to a retirement party for a co-worker
11:11 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams nrk, sorry to hear you are in pain (again? still?)
11:11 pm
stidmama

see you again soon!
11:11 pm
stidmama

ah, "retirement" seems SO far away. I will want to teach for at last 20 years after I get certification next year... and if my health holds out, longer even than that.
11:16 pm
meliae

yes starting over at 51 is not easy But at the time I choose that career (in home adult foster care) I didnt think about the heart ache and the stress it would cause mentally. It is going to be hard finding something now since I am definately not going back into that field of work 20+ years was enough
11:18 pm
meliae

and of course I have no benefits no retirement plan, things like that you dont think about. You just think you are going to work forever LOL. well I had benefits for awhile but they took all that away when the cost of health insurance went through the roof.
11:18 pm
stidmama

that is true, Mel. I am younger (not by much) and realize that even at my age it could be tough to find a permanent position... but it's worth making the effort, I think.
11:18 pm
stidmama

ouch. that is just WRONG. I hope that you soon have coverage again.
11:19 pm
meliae

yes teaching is a great career if I was a few years younger I would most definately go that way
11:20 pm
stidmama

I know that Bugs is a paraprofessional, mel -- around here, sometimes it is easier to get those positions (and you don't have to plan lessons or do parent conferences...) and you get benefits.
11:20 pm
stidmama

Pay isn't as good, but it's something.
11:20 pm
meliae

my kids want me to sign up for SSI for my fibromyalgia but I am not ready to throw in the towel yet. I am going to see how I do taking classes and being able to sit through those and then decide
11:21 pm
meliae

I will look into it, I was actually a headstart teacher many years ago, but only took early child development classes to do that. so not much in the way of 'real' teaching classes
11:22 pm
stidmama

That is a good idea, to try the classes -- there are now early childhood certifications? Or is that what you have? The current trends in education look like early childhood ed is going to get a BIG push.
11:23 pm
stidmama

Fibromyalgia sux. I have a couple friends who deal with it.
11:29 pm
meliae

I have a certificate but I bet it is outdated it was over 20 years ago I got it
11:33 pm
stidmama

Sometimes the older certificates were "permanent" and can be reinstated. It's worth checking out. That is, if you want to work with the younger set...
11:35 pm
stidmama

anyway, I am getting seriously sidetracked and need to focus on getting one last lesson for this quarter written.
11:35 pm
stidmama

See you again soon, I hope ((hugs)).
11:36 pm
meliae

ok I will look into it nice to see you ((HUGS))
