8:59 am
redturtlehead

Well, I knew I had gained, but I was hoping it was less. but No No, it was more.
8:59 am
redturtlehead

Hi Beach!
8:59 am
Mom

oh, I am sorry
9:00 am
redturtlehead

Well, In a way, its good, because it explains why my run times have been rather slow.
9:01 am
redturtlehead

always better to know right?
9:01 am
Mom

I am sure it is more muscle than anything else. You are always exercising
9:02 am
redturtlehead

No, its fat, I stopped doing anything for several months when I got injured, it caught up on me! I have gained about 20 pounds.
9:02 am

It is amazing how fast weight can creep up on you
9:03 am

but your injury is better?
9:03 am

sux
9:03 am

9:05 am
Mom

our highschool has a pool and they have evening classes and open swims for those who would like to go
9:05 am
beachboggle

I have often thought that I wish there were one accessible to me
9:05 am
beachboggle

that would be a big help, in my situation
9:06 am
Mom

and with school being out soon, it will be open during the summer. I think it was $2 or $3 to go
9:07 am
redturtlehead

The pool here is one reason I didnt move when I was looking for a new job....crazy but true.
9:07 am

not crazy; I don't blame youi
9:07 am

I have been thinking of taking a deep water aerobics class....but everyone in it is 75 yrs old...

Missing the gym this weekend. On a slimfast diet. Just 10 little pouds and all will be right with the world...
9:13 am
Mom

is there some place you can walk?
9:13 am
Mom

I wouldn't mind tossing 10-15 pounds
9:14 am
Kaplan the Magne

I have sometime offered people the virtually Faustian forced choice: :if you could choose between words peace forever or 100 extra pounds that you could never take off--ever--which would you chose?
9:14 am
Kaplan the Magne

I meant world peace. I am playing babble so it came out word peace.
9:15 am
Mom

but I think I can do it. I got cortisone shots in both knees I feel like a new person
9:15 am
Kaplan the Magne

Most people have lied when they answer.
9:15 am
Kaplan the Magne

They say they would choose world peace.
9:16 am
JBV

hi, Kap - make it 20 pounds and I will sign on, I actually have lost 50 pounds and I can never think of going back to that
9:16 am
Mom

congratulations, JBV and good morning
9:16 am
Kaplan the Magne

This is 1oo extra pounds or world peace. No bargaining.
9:17 am
JBV

thanks, Mom, but actually it is a war with no truce, a constant daily battle - I;ve kept most of it off for 3 years, am about 8 pounds over where I was then
9:17 am
Kaplan the Magne

The devil is merciless.
9:17 am
Mom

if I took the 100 pounds that would put me to 249. and not guarantees that world peace would stay that way.
9:18 am
Mom

my sweetie has lost 20 pounds since January. He detest exercise but is careful about what he eats.
9:18 am
redturtlehead

our pool is outdoors Beach so very little fumes. i remember the indoors one...
9:18 am
Mom

he says the same thing as you ....it is a constant battle
9:18 am
Kaplan the Magne

This is the deal. PERMANENT world peace, + 100 extra PERMANENT pounds, or the world as it is.
9:18 am
Mom

Red, Beach left to fix brunch
9:18 am
JBV

it would be a very unhealthy peaceful world
9:18 am
Kaplan the Magne

I'm so evil.
9:19 am
redturtlehead

Oh Sorry I left for a minute to see what was on my email. I need to make a lunch soon as well. going to be hard to eat after the scale.
9:19 am
Kaplan the Magne

JBV- that it would.
9:19 am
redturtlehead

I am watching this "Deadliest Catch" Marathon, have been sucked into reality TV...but this is more like a documentatry.
9:20 am
smaller

lol JBV. World peace through morbid obesity. ...everyone tires too quickly to fight.
9:20 am
Mom


be back in a bit.
9:21 am
redturtlehead

Smaller sees how that goes.
9:22 am
Kaplan the Magne

fortunately we will never be given such an option. You would be the ONLY one with the 100 extra pounds.
9:22 am
JBV

I thought of that too, smaller :)
9:22 am
smaller

So my extra 15 pounds isn't a health problem. ...It's an effort towards a global solution.
9:22 am
Kaplan the Magne

This is an obnoxious question, but I hate it when people lie and say "oh , world peace of course" without a pause.
9:23 am
Kaplan the Magne

Well, enough of that. Heard any good jokes lately?
9:24 am
JBV

not a joke, but a really funny story from work: grandmother goes to deliver dinner to daughter who's working late.....
9:24 am
Kaplan the Magne

and?
9:24 am
redturtlehead

waiting....
9:24 am
JBV

daughter gives mom the key code to her car, key code doesn't work, grandma tries the door, the car is unlocked!
9:25 am
Kaplan the Magne

I can relate to that.
9:25 am
JBV

puts dinner ont he passenger seat, two hours later gets a call from daughter, "Mom, where's the dinner you promised me?"
9:25 am
JBV

you guessed it - dinner placed in wrong car!!!!
9:25 am
Kaplan the Magne

I can relate to that too.
9:25 am
redturtlehead

Oh no!
9:25 am
Kaplan the Magne

And that!!
9:25 am

I tried like crazy to get into someone elses car the other day!

we are all imagining the face of the driver when he discovered room service in his car
9:26 am

I imaigne it was a nice dinner too!!!!
9:27 am

yes, red, made with loving care by grandma for mom and three kids
9:27 am

9:27 am
Kaplan the Magne

I once call a friend whose car I borrowed saying that when I got to the parking lot, there was a big scratch along the side and the door wouldn't open!
9:27 am
JBV

probably thrown in the trash cause who would eat a surprise package like that?
9:28 am
Kaplan the Magne

I bet u already know the outcome of that story
9:28 am

half way. Hope it was the wrong car Kap.

10:03 am
Scrabbler

It was once I fell asleep at 3. I was physically exhausted after a long, rigorous mountain bike ride in the evening. I think that revved me up and prevented me from relaxing those first few hrs.
10:03 am
redturtlehead

Oh NB, you would hate living with me. I get up at 4 am, eat take a nap and then get up again and go running....

10:06 am
Scrabbler

Yay mnh! Great, great progress!
10:06 am
Nancy Boy

well I'm the opposite Red - generally, I'm more likely to get home and go to bed at 6! But then, I'm kind of a night person
10:07 am
redturtlehead

I do also enjoy my fair share of napping.
10:07 am
Nancy Boy

all the better for hearing that you're still going strong, Mom ;)
10:07 am
redturtlehead

Well, I am starting night shift tomorro, so I shall be a night person again. Grrr.

Well kje, I will be banking the money and it may not be so bad.
10:12 am
Kaplan the Magne

So do I. I am on a slimfast diet. This time, I take no prisoners.
10:12 am
Nancy Boy

what with Mom and I quitting smoking, and all the exercise that seems to be going on around here, we're really quite a healthy bunch today. Apart from poor Joanne ;)
10:12 am
kje

it will suck
10:12 am
redturtlehead

Now that I have weighed myself, I can find out if I have been losing weight. I am NOT on a slimfast diet.
10:13 am
redturtlehead

KJE, dont be so definite.
10:13 am
DR1965

we are all biking and cut out so4 and sweets
10:13 am
redturtlehead

The last time I worked nights at a small hospital, I had time to read books....
10:13 am
rnp

i need the 5 above it
10:13 am
redturtlehead

that was several years ago.
10:13 am
kje

sorry - red... true, maybe you will have time - but your clock will be opposite now
10:13 am
Riverdance

I am not weighing myself until I hit the 60 day mark and then will need your support all over again - with all your successes you can plan my weight loss regimen for me - yeah I like that idea
10:14 am
LeslieAnn

su + a family ***st (coat of arms), rnp
10:14 am
Scrabbler

I drink Slimfast 1-2 times daily on work days. I also started wt lifting and I think that has made a huge difference.
10:14 am
redturtlehead

yes. it may actually work out ok the nights, as the hospital is literally across the street from the pool...
10:14 am
Scrabbler

ty, LA
10:14 am
redturtlehead

weight lifitng builds muscle which burns more calories all the time than that yellow fat.
10:14 am
Scrabbler

You will adjust, Red, and create a new routine.
10:14 am
kje

so what? you plan to skip out and swim? LOLOL
10:14 am
Kaplan the Magne

I'm eating slimfast bars. I go to the gym on a regular basis anyway.
10:15 am
redturtlehead

After work, I plan to swim each and every day at 7:15 after I leave.
10:15 am
redturtlehead

I do hope someone moves, gets married, has a baby, finds they cant take the day routiene soon...
10:15 am
Joanne123

i got message from cable company that i reached my 100 percent gb capacity and i would be charged more.. by the time i got off the phone i got 30 percent off the cable and 30 percent off the internet and more gb's lol

Deeha

I always get stuck on some silly little last word. Help please be4.8 - the one after the place where you sleep
10:15 am
Scrabbler

Yes, red, I realized that a few wks ago after being frustrated for the last few months of aerobic exercise.
10:15 am
kje

personally, I don't like things like slimfast - more and more I think people just need to eat real food in moderation, avoid all the processed grocery store crap and eat the perimeter
10:15 am
Nancy Boy

wow, you're all so organised. I just don't gain weight because I'm a fidgeter. I never sit still so I guess I must burn energy all the time.
10:15 am
redturtlehead

good job Joanne!
10:16 am
kje

LOL - QTG Joann!
10:16 am
redturtlehead

with you kje, I am about eating real actual food. But then again, I am not the one to take eating advice from.
10:16 am

10:16 am
Scrabbler

Way to go, Joanne!
10:16 am
redturtlehead

NB, when you get to our age, things will be different!
10:16 am
Kaplan the Magne

I eat pretty healthfully and have been a vegetarian for years, but one can gain weight on healthy food too.
10:16 am
Kaplan the Magne

I never gained weight as a kid.
10:16 am
Riverdance

10:16 am

On work days Slimfast is quick + easy.

10:17 am

10:19 am
Kaplan the Magne

My favorite story about the word vegan was when my daughter was about 8, she told a mom we know about her teenage daughter--:"I heard she's a virgin!"
10:19 am
Kaplan the Magne

She meant vegan.
10:19 am
Nancy Boy

LOL Joanne!
10:19 am

The last surgery involved removal of ovaries (age 44) and menopause started instantly--metabolism plummeted to that of a rock.

I didn't step on a scale for about 15 years, and when I finally did, it gave me a rude surprise. I knew my clothes weren't fitting right, but this ended my denial
10:20 am

10:20 am

redturtlehead

I just came back in from my screened in deck. one of my plants has been really chomped. Initially I thought it was the dog, but then I see a rather big blackish caterpillar...wonder if I should move it outside or leave it and see if it becomes anything. and how did it get there.
10:22 am
smooth_pappa

fireworks! hi everyone :)
10:22 am
Nancy Boy

Ohhh, good for you, Scrabbs! It's not something you regret - good for you physically and morally
10:22 am
Scrabbler

I know, red, it's good for us, and I have frozen filets in my freezer, but I am increasingly bothered by eating all animals now, even fish, scallops (I love them), etc
10:23 am

Yippee pappa!

Hmm, I hear that. I don't know why procrastination makes a day go so fast - something I learnt whilst "revising" for my A-levels.
10:27 am
Scrabbler

Going to make more tea. Anybody want some?
10:27 am
Nancy Boy

Quite right, Red. Plus, if non-vegans knew all the muck they were eating...such as what's really in milk...they'd think again
10:28 am
Scrabbler

phantom = surface
10:28 am
redturtlehead

Depends on where you get your Milk, NB. I grew up in a dairying community, cows are not clean.
10:28 am

Uneaixoise

she had a fine old time dashing around for several hours! LOL
1:19 pm
Mudd

Life is good, and so was the grid.
1:19 pm
stidmama

LOL good for them! we returned a pretty adolescent lab to her family today... she wandered into our house and the younger stidkid took her out to find her home.
1:19 pm
Uneaixoise

hey, merk, and congrats!
1:19 pm
gwenski

Ooh. We have nice neighbors like that, too! (Except it was only a few minutes.)
1:20 pm

YAY Mudd!
1:20 pm

See ya'll tomorrow.

Uneaixoise

not only did she get a great cardio workout, she obviously also had a fabbo swim in the creek! :-)
1:21 pm
Uneaixoise

she's nearly 12 and still thinks she's a teenager! LOL
1:21 pm
stidmama

so is she cleaner, or just wetter?
1:21 pm
Uneaixoise

cleaner? noooo :-)
1:22 pm
Uneaixoise

but unlike the last time, she doesn't stink!
1:22 pm
stidmama

good she doesn't stink.
1:23 pm
Uneaixoise

:-D
1:23 pm
Merk

Were you near the flooding Une?
1:24 pm
Uneaixoise

several counties flooded, merk -- i was very lucky -- but sooo many people had everything from flooded garages to complete loss of their homes.
1:25 pm
Merk

That is so sad!
1:25 pm
Uneaixoise

for once I was very glad to not to have a basement
1:26 pm
stidmama

flooding is just awful. we are UP and back from the cliffs at the water's edge and I still worry about flooding.
1:26 pm
Merk

Stid, I noticed the NW gathering on Aug. 21 ... bummer ... I'll be in the area Aug. 14 for a wedding. We're vacation on the way out and then again on the way home so we can't hang around for a week unfortunately. I love Babble, but this is my chance to see some Nationa Parks between here and there.
1:27 pm
Merk

Have the rivers gone down so that if you have a normal rain it won't cause problems?
1:27 pm
Uneaixoise

Local volunteers have truly accomplished miracles -- even Anderson Cooper, and other national news people who were here, commented on the huge difference it made that neighbors helped neighbors, musicians performed benefit concerts, etc.
1:28 pm
Uneaixoise

Rivers have gone down but I know everyone affected by the flooding is totally panicked every time it rains now
1:28 pm
stidmama

I think you will have a lovely time, Merk! August is about the best month to visit us (less likely to have rotten weather, but no guarantee
1:28 pm
Uneaixoise

We've had 17 inches this month
1:28 pm
Merk

We've seen that volunteerism around here after tornadoes, too. Americans are great that way and other countries have begun to notice and imitate. The Chinese people have started to plunge in after floods and earthquakes.
1:28 pm
stidmama

I would be happy to drive up to meet you for coffee if you like -- I will be done with my summer school by then.
1:28 pm
stidmama

that is an excessive amount of precip, Une
1:29 pm
Uneaixoise

no kidding, stid!!
1:29 pm
Merk

Yikes, 17. We don't get a whole lot more than that in a whole year here!
1:29 pm
Merk

The wedding is Olympia on the 14th.
1:29 pm
Uneaixoise

it was a LIFETIME rainfall record
1:30 pm
stidmama

oh! LOL then I don't have to drive far... I am just outside Olympia. Think about it, and if you want to, my email is my login name at gmail.copm
1:30 pm
stidmama

oops. gmail.com. I think my figners are getting tired
1:30 pm
Uneaixoise

only good thing is it's made my hydrangeas more flowery than ever before
1:30 pm
stidmama

and with luck, Une, some of the rain will be recharging your aquifers for the wells and rivers.
1:30 pm
Merk

I get back from China on the 7th and as soon as my husband can get away we are leaving. So our itinerary is sketchy yet. We want to see the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier. We'll do the southern ones coming or going and the Cascade highway and Glacier the opposite time. It all depends on the calendar.
1:31 pm
stidmama

Sounds like a lovely drive through beautiful country, Merk.
1:31 pm
Uneaixoise

the irony was that the flooding knocked out water processing plants and we had to conserve water a LOT
1:31 pm
Uneaixoise

merk, your trip sounds wonderful!!
1:31 pm
stidmama

oh gee. that is ironic!
1:31 pm
Merk

I know we'll be on the interstate between Olympia and Mt. Vernon, but I'm just not sure if it will be coming or going.
1:31 pm
stidmama

okay, help to get NBT, need the E next to the V. just passed halfway
1:32 pm
stidmama

I can be flexible. :-D Would love to hear about China, to be honest, one of the few places I hope to visit someday.
1:32 pm
Merk

Hey, we have driven past all of these places before, but the only sightseeing we've done is Portland, Seattle, Mt. Rainier, and Vancouver BC
1:32 pm

Well, Stid, we'll keep coffee in mind as the summer progresses. We love coffee in the NW. You're not lacking for places to meet and I'd love to talk about China ... definitely a great place to visit. See you tomorrow everybody.

Hello, cherlyq.
1:37 pm

I am pretty excited about the prospects for art this summer, Vi -- I have a classmate who wants to paint silk scarves (she is an actual ARTIST like you), so I have an excuse to get fresh paints and materials.
1:37 pm
cherlyq63

hi vi and stid
1:37 pm
Vicuna

Oooo, that should be fun. Silk painting has such richness and vibrancy to the colors.
1:38 pm
cherlyq63

listening to church and doing puzzle
1:38 pm
stidmama

yes, and I wasn't able to do any last year, so all my paints went yucky. :-( BUT it's going to be a good thing to look forward to!
1:39 pm
Vicuna

Generally speaking my art prospects go down during the summer and up during school, lol. But the older the kids get, the more that changes, so we'll see.
Yes, it's always nice to have projects to look forward too!
1:39 pm
Vicuna

1:45 pm
gwenski

the de6/27 -- is it related to the prior de4/8?
1:46 pm
Vicuna

no.
1:47 pm
Vicuna

de6 - to lessen in value, as in a currency
1:47 pm
gwenski

ok. thanks. **thinking**
1:47 pm
Vicuna

and one who does it is de7
1:48 pm
gwenski

Ahh. Thanks. But I think it's more like lessening a person, rather than a currency. (But I could be wrong!)
1:49 pm
gwenski

Enable gives both definitions!
1:50 pm
gwenski

Any clue for the ab6/33?
1:54 pm

Sorry, was away administering snack to the offspring. Looking...

Okay.

2:44 pm
jmcnrick

:-)
2:45 pm
jmcnrick

I do it in small increments now that it costs 5 cents a plastic bag if I don't bring my own bags
2:46 pm
JBV

random question for folks who bring cotton tote bags to the supermarket - how do you dispose of garbage? are you buying plastic garbage bags???
2:46 pm
Nancy Boy

oh nooo, grocery shopping is fun!
2:47 pm
JBV

try it for another 40 years, NB :)
2:47 pm
jmcnrick

uh I compost, recycle and use large garbage bags i buy from the store
2:47 pm
jmcnrick

you are a sick child NB
2:47 pm
JBV

I use paper bags from the supermarket for garbage, so I consider that my form of recycling
2:48 pm
JBV

I also compost and reduce as much as possible
2:48 pm

Great jmc. I hope your arms are not sore. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the trip.
2:54 pm
jmcnrick

i am sorry too. It is really expensive though.
2:55 pm
jmcnrick

it doesn't help that I am staying a full month and bringing my boy over to meet up with me
2:56 pm
wht

I think our big vacation trip this year will be going with Lynn and her brother to clean out her mother's house. Her mother died a month or so ago.
2:56 pm
Nancy Boy

Kenya?! this sounds exciting!
2:56 pm
jmcnrick

I am sorry to hear that wht. It has been amazingly difficult since my mother died in November.
2:57 pm
wht

I still hope to get Lynn to go to Africa some time.
2:57 pm

Yes, NB I am meeting Quakers from all around the world.

Nancy Boy

hi again, Red :)
2:59 pm

Kenya is lovely, the one place I though I would not like, I loved.
3:00 pm

Hi Red. You did get your wish for the Magic to get another home game and they made the most of it.
3:00 pm
jmcnrick

I think it will be amazing NB and I am really looking forward to it
3:00 pm
Nancy Boy

hm, out of the hospital and seeming well, Jmc, thanks for asking :) now if only we could get him cured of the bigotry...
3:00 pm
redturtlehead

yes, and then they burnt up in Boston, of well...
3:00 pm
redturtlehead

I am glad they had the game, it was a money maker.
3:01 pm
jmcnrick

well one step at a time NB
3:01 pm
Nancy Boy

sorry, I'm joking 'cause I'm scared. If he goes back to hospital anytime soon, I won't be allowed to visit again.
3:01 pm
jmcnrick

Tell me about Kenya Red
3:01 pm
jmcnrick

why not NB?
3:01 pm

Kenya is an incredibally beautiful country. I wish I could get Lynn interested in going.
3:01 pm
redturtlehead

what do you want to know jmc?
3:01 pm
jmcnrick

you have been there wht?
3:01 pm
redturtlehead

wht, I can not believe there is someone who does not want to go to Kenya!
3:02 pm
jmcnrick

I am going to spend several days in mobasa on the coast and then western kenya. . . . what is the name of the town wht? kemasa?
3:03 pm
Nancy Boy

well last time, it agitated him too much. I sat in with him whilst he was asleep, on the advice of the staff. I was just sitting there and holding his hand when my mum came in, started screaming at me, woke him up, got him going...it's not good for him, when he's in that condition
3:03 pm
redturtlehead

Well, JMC, you will Love Mombasa.
3:03 pm
redturtlehead

SO NB, that is your Moms issue, you did right.
3:03 pm
wht

A lot of the Quaker institutions are in Kaimosi but that is not where the General Board meeting will be.
3:03 pm
jmcnrick

well the trick is to get your mother not to scream it would seem
3:03 pm
jmcnrick

Kaimosi that is it! *smack*
3:04 pm
redturtlehead

Mombasa is very much a town of say partying and music and nightlife.
3:04 pm
wht

I don't remember where that will be. Since I'm not going, I haven't paid a lot of attention tot he details.
3:04 pm
jmcnrick

No but I am going on the quaker tour and then at the end of july spending a week at friedns theological college
3:04 pm
redturtlehead

the seacoast breezes will be nice.
3:05 pm
redturtlehead

Did they give you a Safari?
3:05 pm
Nancy Boy

there's no trick to it really, they just don't want me there. and from the nurses' point of view, I guess it's too risky.
3:05 pm
jmcnrick

Bungoma, Kenya
3:06 pm
redturtlehead

well, in truth, NB, if I was the pt nurse and the pt said NO I dont want to see my son, I would not let the son in there.
3:06 pm
wht

I remember sleeping on the beach outside of Mombasa once. I was in a sleeping bag and was comfortable but the moment the sun rose, it was too hot.
3:06 pm
jmcnrick

too bad NB that they should blame you for your mother losing it
3:07 pm
Nancy Boy

well exactly, Red. it's their job to look after the patient after all; not the visitors. just sad, that's all
3:07 pm
redturtlehead

it's sad that your dad can;t get over himself. yes.
3:07 pm
jmcnrick

my boy is meeting me for a safari then we are going to Tansania to visit friends
3:07 pm
redturtlehead

and not at all nice that he is sick.
3:08 pm
Nancy Boy

well I suppose she was just a catalyst to the whole mess, Jmc. That trip to Kenya sounds amazing though...once in a lifetime
3:08 pm
jmcnrick

hang in there NB -- it took my dad quite a while to get over his only son being gay
3:08 pm
redturtlehead

Nice JMC, be sure to bring a camera on Safari. I know you arent really a camera guy..
3:08 pm
redturtlehead

or girl.
3:08 pm
jmcnrick

I am actually -- I have just conceded the position to my son who I gave his first camera when he was 3
3:09 pm
jmcnrick

I used to develop my own black and white photos
3:09 pm
redturtlehead

No wonder my Mom liked you.
3:09 pm
jmcnrick

any way the boy will be along for the safari
3:09 pm
jmcnrick

??? because I gave my son a camera? He kept grabbing mine so I gave him a point and shoot
3:10 pm
redturtlehead

Well, I am a big fan of kenya, I thought it would be over touristed, but it wasn't
3:10 pm
jmcnrick

i know it was all over when his camera cost more than mine ;p;
3:10 pm
redturtlehead

No no because of my Mom's interest in Photography....
3:10 pm
wht

jmc, You will get better pictures if your camera has an anti-shake control. Even with a 12-x zoom lens I was able to get clear pictures from our moving bus.
3:11 pm
jmcnrick

I will check with the boy about the anti-share control on his camera -- he has the lens
3:11 pm
redturtlehead

www.shadysideimages.us
3:11 pm
jmcnrick

his current digital cost me a grand so it better and anti shake!
3:12 pm
redturtlehead

as long as the lens has the vibration reduction you should be alright, plus the safari operators should stop for you.
3:12 pm
Nancy Boy

a grand?! on a camera?! bliiimey.
3:12 pm
jmcnrick

is that your mom's sight?
3:13 pm
wht

It probably does. Mine was a $300 Cannon. I didn't think to much about that feature until I started taking pictures out of a moving bus on rutted roads.
3:13 pm
jmcnrick

he as sold some photos (so have i in an earlier life) so it is worth it for him NB
3:13 pm
redturtlehead

it's one of them.
3:13 pm
jmcnrick

sorry "site"!
3:13 pm
redturtlehead

NB, thats not so much really, I have one lens that cost about 500.00, from my Mom....she keeps pushing me to get a new camera...
3:14 pm
redturtlehead

its the right price for a great quality camera,
3:14 pm
jmcnrick

we got pretty good photos in India but since I used to take a lot of photos I am very patient about his taking photos
3:14 pm
redturtlehead

I do have a small little lumix though that was about 200.00 and I love to use it.
3:15 pm

Oh JMC, I would like to go to India.

3:19 pm

it was so dirty all the time and the question wasn't whether you would be cheated each day but how often and by how much
3:20 pm
Nancy Boy

as for sleep though, who has time for that? ;)
3:20 pm
redturtlehead

Oh, jmc, you may not like Kenya much then. its not the cleanest, and you do have to be abrupt with a variety of people.
3:20 pm
stidmama

well, I know it's hard. be certain that you are being a good person, and let the rest go. You are not responsible for others' feelings or actions. *stern but loving mama look*
3:20 pm

lynxxx

what a coincidence! could you move there?
5:22 pm
Dorens

a bit remote... and kind of far from my old friends and new york (daughter.. mother, etc)
5:23 pm
Scrabbler

It is not easy at all to get up & move when one's roots are set in one place.
5:23 pm
Dorens

if i knew for sure that i didn't hve my job (they keep saying maybe, we'll see if some $$ come im over the summer).. it would be interesting to try on a one year basis

5:27 pm
Dorens

haha... but the generalist is a ****ist
5:29 pm
Scrabbler

I found it, Doren. You were thinking DDS/DMD and I was thinking of Dr Richard Head.

Is that the show that follows fishermen.
5:37 pm
Jayk

Scrabs, I'm guessing it must not be pouring down rain where you are. I was interested earlier to see your refernece to Zone 4. When I lived in VT I was in Zone 4--always thought PA would be much more temperate
5:37 pm
redturtlehead

yes, they are having a marathon and I seem to not be able to stop watching.
5:37 pm

Nope, gone in 1981 and 1983. Those are my mother's parents that came here from Italy.
5:44 pm
Scrabbler

I checked your profile, Jay. I forgot that you are my INTJ comrade.
5:45 pm
Jayk

I'm not that close to my Dad, but I have to admit he's amazing. He's been very lucky--mentally still very sharp. Congenital heart failure will eventually get him, but he's remarkable. Stillbaking bread from scratch--including the tiresome kneading part--he doesn't believe in food processors, and shoppping, and thinking of interesting meals and firing off irate letters to the SEC. (He was a broker)
5:45 pm
Jayk

Do you know how FEW female INTJs there are?
5:46 pm
Scrabbler

Lucky for him. It's only worth being "old" if one is able to enjoy it.
5:46 pm
redturtlehead

I can not remember which I was, but, it was the one that many juvenille delinquents come with....
5:46 pm

I agree. As I say, he's been very fortunate
5:46 pm
redturtlehead

its good ot keep your ind.
5:46 pm
Scrabbler

No, Jay. But I know that there is a small % of INTJs.
5:46 pm
redturtlehead

shoot, mind.
5:46 pm
Scrabbler

LOL, Red
5:46 pm
Jayk

The downside to living this long is that all your friends are dead
5:47 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, I recall my grandparents saying that then they were in their 80s. But at 106 you outlive LOTS of people.

WHoo Hooo Stiddy!
6:42 pm
Bugsaw

I used to love King Crab red until I saw how dangerous it is to get. Now I don't eat it so they won't have to go out. My son says he did the same thing! I laffed my head off
6:43 pm
Bugsaw

You are lucky to have such family support stid. What you are doing takes a huge amount of effort
6:43 pm
stidmama

yes it does, bugs. I couldn't even attempt this without my family.
6:44 pm
redturtlehead

I am amazed thought at the profits these guys make, like 50K in ten days.
6:44 pm
stidmama

I just hope that I am doing well enough. I don't feel a tremendous amount of faculty support at this point. :-( But unless I do something completely egregious, I don't think they can kick me out of the program *keeping nose clean while watching my back*
6:45 pm
redturtlehead

Sid, I am sure you are doing well enough.
6:45 pm
redturtlehead

Have you advocated anything unusual?
6:45 pm
Bugsaw

what yould the faculty have against you stid? You are getting great marks, are consciencious about assignments and love to teach. Please explain where your unease comes from
6:45 pm

I have made waves when the instructors have their he5 up their british backsides...
6:46 pm

Oh no!

6:46 pm

and I am not shy about saying when I am confused, but I do tend to wait until I am certain something is wrong before I speak up.
6:47 pm
redturtlehead

so all of that is the marks of a good good student. My Dad would have loved to have you as a pupil.
6:47 pm
stidmama

The truth is, I am not radical enough for the instructors at this institution, and do not blindly sign on to their own teaching styles.
6:47 pm
stidmama

thanks red.
6:47 pm
Bugsaw

I tend to agree with red. Perhaps you are just listening too much to your inner critic. Toss him out.
6:47 pm

I have been in those situations. When I was trying to get into Nursing school, I spent a lot of time painting my fingernails and such to try to fit in.
6:49 pm
Bugsaw

You don't have sign on with their styles stid. Just play the game and learn everything. You never know when you will come accross a student who learns a different way and needs something bizarre to get it.
6:50 pm
stidmama

yep. I am doing that to a greater or lesser extent. I can play the games, just resent having to do it.
6:50 pm
Bugsaw

we all do. We care about you tho
6:50 pm
stidmama

It's not that any particular thing is so bizarre, it's that they are very prescriptive for their approach and dismissive of other approaches that I know are sometimes efficacious.
6:50 pm
stidmama

thanks bugs ((hugs))
6:52 pm
Bugsaw

and you will never forget the other methods that you know work. I had to do the same thing until teachers saw me using ancient methods of learning that worked on what they thot were troublesome students
