how can smurf not be a word?? and hello all

12:23 am

Douglas

If smurf should be a word, then Sherlock Holmes should be a word

12:24 am

cybernan

can't find the last 2 - will look at it again tomorrow -- good night :)

12:24 am

gremlinn

you mean, two words?

12:24 am

gremlinn

"Sherlock Holmes" has the added disadvantage of being proper.

12:26 am

jillibus

late flip!

12:26 am

Douglas

Let me rephrase that. If smurf should be a word, ewok should be a word

12:27 am

gremlinn

There ya go.

12:29 am

gremlinn

Smurfs (or smurves) are creepy.

12:30 am

12:39 am

jillibus

12:43 am

12:44 am

jillibus

2:10 am

rururocks

2:10 am

Soodlebum

The new puppy was as good as gold last night. He has succeeded where I have failed. My daughter is out of bed, and its only 8.10 am. Result!!!!

3:33 am

Atalante

3:34 am

FMitch

Morning Ata!!!

3:34 am

Atalante

fm!!!!!!

3:35 am

FMitch

:)

3:35 am

FMitch

whats up?

3:36 am

Atalante

My day started at 3:30am because La Hobbit had obviously come across something disgusting on the beach yesterday and proceeded to eat it. She spent half the night needing to go out. But finally got some charcoal Bonios down her, and she had a drink of milk (she wouldn't drink her water at *all*, but milk is apparently acceptable right now) and the day can return to normal!

3:36 am

FMitch

Oh dear lol!

3:36 am

FMitch

naughty Hobbity.

3:37 am

Atalante

she's a very woebegone little pup now

3:37 am

FMitch

so you will both be having a little snooze a bit later I suspect.

3:37 am

Atalante

not much later I suspect :)

3:39 am

Atalante

I thought I'd at least try and finish the grid first!

3:39 am

FMitch

I've not long started but so far so good.

3:39 am

Atalante

9 left :)

3:40 am

FMitch

wtg!

3:40 am

FMitch

are you listing?

3:41 am

Atalante

nope, but saw clues for the 7s :D

3:42 am

FMitch

Good luck, I have a couple of phone calls to make so will be back in a bit.

3:42 am

Atalante

see you soon!

3:42 am

sandrafrances

any clue for wi 6-48 please

3:42 am

Atalante

****pedia + not down

3:43 am

sandrafrances

thanks very much but never heard of it

3:44 am

Atalante

it's an Indian tent or something

3:49 am

Atalante

firebirds!

3:49 am

FMitch

Congrats dear!!!!
Im over half way already, it seems to be a nice small grid for a change.

3:50 am

Atalante

there is a cat noise ... just to warn you!

3:51 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

3:51 am

FMitch

oh thanks for that.

Good morning Haz!

3:52 am

Atalante

Haz! La Glitterata!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Bonjour! It's a gridette this morning.

3:53 am

Atalante

gridlet :D

3:53 am

FMitch

Un petite gridette :)

3:53 am

Atalante

and a nice one at that

3:53 am

Haz1558

Some funny words. The la6/33 arrested the fr5/22 for crimes against fashion.

3:53 am

Haz1558

It would have to be une petite gridette, though. The French police would allow no less.

3:54 am

FMitch

someone stole my e

3:54 am

Haz1558

Maybe that's what Hobbit ate that disagreed with her.

3:54 am

FMitch

lol

3:55 am

Haz1558

If Hobbit coughs up an E, we'll know for sure.

3:55 am

Atalante

c'est un peau similar a une petite griotte :)

3:55 am

Atalante

well she's coughed up everything else

3:55 am

FMitch

eeeeew

3:56 am

Haz1558

Was it a capital E or a small e? E would be angular and more difficult to cough up.

3:56 am

FMitch

sorry was just purging the e's *grin*

3:56 am

Atalante

probably a capital E italic

3:56 am

FMitch

turn some dog biscuits into scrabble tiles and she could throw up a whole sentence

3:56 am

Haz1558

They're the worst.

3:57 am

Atalante

bold italic might be worse ...

3:58 am

Haz1558

Font size would have to be taken into consideration as well.

3:59 am

FMitch

yay found the ma7 (thanks to the french theme)

3:59 am

Atalante

and font face. some are pointier than others

4:00 am

Haz1558

We'd have to be like the Health and Safety people and work from a worst case scenario.

4:00 am

FMitch

Given some of the things we know Hobbity has eaten I don' think font size or colour will deter her to be honest.

4:01 am

Atalante

yes ........

4:01 am

tizer

clue for ma7?

4:02 am

tizer

fums

4:02 am

Atalante

it's alright to give her skimmed milk, isn't it, Haz? She just won't drink her water and I don't want her to get dehydrated

4:02 am

FMitch

Back in 5, time for coffee.

4:02 am

Haz1558

ma7 - French for a cloak or coat. Start with a masculine figure, add a consonant, finish with French water.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Is she used to getting milk? If so, it should be okay, but dogs not used to milk can have a dose of the scoots as a result.

4:03 am

tizer

ty

4:03 am

Haz1558

Or even water the milk down. Just don't let her see what you're doing.

4:03 am

Atalante

she's used to dairy stuff of one kind or another. Anyway, I'd rather more of that than have a dehydrated dog on my hands!

4:03 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, tizer.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Has she been vomiting a lot?

4:05 am

Atalante

a bit, but nothing drastic, there's just been a lot of liquid coming out of her other end, to try and put it somewhat politely!

4:05 am

Haz1558

It sounds like she's eaten something she shouldn't have. Apart from FM's capital E, can you think what she might have guzzled?

4:06 am

Atalante

I have *no* idea. We were on the beach yesterday, I didn't *see* her eat anything, but ...

4:06 am

Atalante

she's feeling very sorry for herself, poor babe

4:07 am

Haz1558

It's actually better if she's producing from both ends - it kind of rules out foreign body. If you try the usual withholding of food for 24 hours, keep up the fluids, she should be fine. Woebegone, but fine.

4:08 am

Atalante

she never learns though!! you'd think that she'd think twice before scoffing whatever delicacy it was that she found, but no

4:08 am

Haz1558

I think it's just instinct. Dogs haven't mastered Consequences.

4:08 am

Atalante

and Oscar is back home in Sark! He had an op on his cruciate on Saturday

4:09 am

Haz1558

Gosh, that dog is a walking vet's bill.

4:09 am

FMitch

Oscar is supporting the local economy.

4:09 am

Atalante

he'd torn his cruciate completely and they had to do something to his kneecap too

4:10 am

FMitch

How did he manage to do that Ata?

4:10 am

Haz1558

How old is he? How many more operations can he fit in to his life?

4:10 am

Atalante

I don't think they really know. He just started limping a while ago

4:10 am

Atalante

he's 5, I *think*

4:11 am

Haz1558

That gives him years of going under the knife, as bloodthirsty people here like to say.

4:12 am

Atalante

he's looking rather woebegone too

4:12 am

FMitch

I should imagine he is, poor thing.

4:13 am

FMitch

Hah, found the volcano

4:14 am

Atalante

lol yay!

4:14 am

FMitch

and found Fireworks - what a nice grid but over too soon.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Well done, FM!

4:15 am

Atalante

well done!

4:15 am

Atalante

was the volcano your last word?

4:15 am

Haz1558

Did you beat gremlinn's time? 9 minutes this morning. He's slowing up.

4:15 am

FMitch

9 mins! good grief!

4:16 am

Haz1558

It was a full minute before he found a 7 letter word. There are chinks in his armour.

4:16 am

FMitch

That is probably about how long it took me to do sucky duck.

4:17 am

Haz1558

What type is it today? Allegedgly easy, medium, hard, or don't bother starting?

4:17 am

Haz1558

Allegedly.

4:17 am

FMitch

No Ata the correct spelling of the pack animal was my last word.
Medium Haz.

4:18 am

Atalante

ooo I don't like mediums

4:18 am

FMitch

for a medium it is OK today.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Like Derek Acorah?

4:18 am

Atalante

certainly don't like him!!

4:18 am

Haz1558

'Talk to me, Michael. I'm from Liverpool. Talk to me'

4:19 am

FMitch

lol

4:19 am

Atalante

he's almost as nonsensical as Jordan

4:20 am

Haz1558

She's going to dye her hair blonde.

4:20 am

Haz1558

She says it will make her younger looking.

4:20 am

FMitch

Royal Ascot starts tomorrow - can't wait to see some of the outfits.

4:20 am

Atalante

she always looked stupid with black hair cos it was so obviously fake back

4:20 am

Atalante

she always looked stupid with black hair cos it was so obviously fake back
black

4:21 am

Haz1558

And if you believe the headlines in the magazines, she's either planning a wedding, or planning a divorce, she's either pregnant or she's going to adopt.

4:22 am

FMitch

Hasn't she been blonde before?

4:22 am

Atalante

or is wailing about she caaaaaan't haaaave another baaaaaaby

4:22 am

Haz1558

I've heard that she's doing a dressage exhibition on a pi4 horse at Ascot.

4:22 am

FMitch

Haz, don't tell me you buy *those* magazines?

4:23 am

FMitch

or do you have them in the waiting room at the surgery?

4:23 am

Atalante

she just accidentally reads the headlines!

4:23 am

Haz1558

No, you'll note that I said the headlines. They sit them all together and you can get all the info from the front.

4:23 am

Haz1558

It's just so funny - same people week in, week out, weight lost, weight gained, husband gained, husband lost.

4:24 am

Atalante

and Corrie stars no-one's ever heard of

4:24 am

Haz1558

'My bikini body hell' - solution, wear a sarong like the rest of us.

4:25 am

FMitch

or ex Big Brother contestants

4:25 am

Atalante

I love sarongs

4:25 am

Haz1558

So does David Beckham.

4:26 am

Atalante

isn't Big Brother on again now?

4:26 am

Riverdance

good morning everyone

4:26 am

FMitch

LO, had forgotten that fashion faux pas.

4:26 am

FMitch

Morning Mom

4:26 am

Haz1558

So it would appear. Cue Channel 4 being declared a no view zone.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Hello, Mom.

4:27 am

FMitch

*le sigh* yes it is Ata ... for 3 months :((

4:27 am

Atalante

THREE MONTHS??

4:27 am

Haz1558

3 months?

4:27 am

FMitch

what with that and the football and wimbledon there is very little else left to watch on terestrial TV.

4:27 am

Haz1558

(Said with equal incredulity but no use of capitals)

4:28 am

Atalante

hi Mom

4:28 am

rubyfoo

Good morning, what a tiny grid

4:28 am

herinfernallady

hello

4:28 am

FMitch

well, maybe 2 months but even so!

4:28 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby. We've named it a gridette, or a gridlet.

4:28 am

Riverdance

Hi ((Ruby))

4:28 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

4:28 am

FMitch

at least it is the last time we will be plagued by it.

4:28 am

herinfernallady

Hello. We went house stuff shopping

4:28 am

FMitch

Hi herin and ruby.

4:29 am

FMitch

I foresee ruby getting fireworks today.

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Waves

4:30 am

Atalante

hi ruby! hi herin!

4:30 am

herinfernallady

Ata how is hobit now?

4:30 am

rubyfoo

((everybody)) You really think so FM?

4:30 am

rubyfoo

It hasn't happened since you helped me over!

4:30 am

Atalante

sleeping :)

4:30 am

FMitch

yup it is a nice friendly one today ruby

4:30 am

rubyfoo

Yay for World Cup and the Tour is only 2 weeks away (or maybe 3?)

4:31 am

herinfernallady

O come on Wank is a word

4:31 am

Atalante

ok, not sleeping. staring at me from over on her chair

4:32 am

herinfernallady

poor love

4:32 am

FMitch

lol herin, roncook was saying the same thing earlier.

4:32 am

herinfernallady

It is if you are an Aussie

4:32 am

herinfernallady

pets

4:32 am

herinfernallady

shoot

4:32 am

rubyfoo

you call this friendly? I am coming up an almost total blank!!

4:33 am

rubyfoo

how are you momn?

4:33 am

Riverdance

tired - cant wait to go home

4:33 am

herinfernallady

damn it I just choked on my drink

4:34 am

Atalante

random question. Is it Fathers' Day - as in the day for ll fathers, or Father's Day - as in the day for your father?

4:34 am

Riverdance

*gently taps ruby on back*

4:35 am

Haz1558

I think it's Father's Day.

4:35 am

Riverdance

day for fathers

4:35 am

herinfernallady

MOmns I inhaled which was silly

4:35 am

Haz1558

An individual only has one father, you're buying a present or a card for one person. That's my interpretation.

4:36 am

Atalante

LOL I never know which is "correct", but I suppose either is really. I just don't like getting the grammar wrong on the cards!

4:36 am

Atalante

I'm not buying a card, I'm making one *smug*

4:36 am

Riverdance

its for your father or anyone you perceive to be your father

4:37 am

Haz1558

Then, just put - Happy Day, you!'

4:37 am

Riverdance

lol - that covers it

4:37 am

herinfernallady

Sigh I am watching MasterChef just gave them the most easiest dish to replicate

4:37 am

Atalante

or "Happy Step-father's day I suppose I should include you as a father even though I don't want to" :P

4:37 am

Haz1558

Actually, Happy Day, you' could cover all eventualities.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

ooh, barb attached, ata

4:39 am

Atalante

my step-father and I have never really got on ....

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Can someone tell me how hard is Beef Stroganoff to make?

4:40 am

FMitch

easy herin

4:41 am

rubyfoo

ok, half!

4:41 am

Haz1558

So, you don't sing du5 together?

4:41 am

rubyfoo

ty, haz

4:41 am

FMitch

half way already ruby, there you go!

4:41 am

Atalante

nooooooooo. well only shouted ones!

4:41 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Masterchef and that was their challenge

4:42 am

FMitch

lol Ata

4:43 am

rubyfoo

I like the idea of a shouted du**

4:43 am

rubyfoo

with Hobbit singing in the background

4:43 am

Haz1558

Does your mother have to act as referee, or does she just allow you to let off st5?

4:43 am

Atalante

she always used to!

4:43 am

rubyfoo

lunch now, see you soon

4:44 am

rubyfoo

thank you for getting me started

4:44 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

4:44 am

Riverdance

yikes, down to 24 - going too fast - what am I going to do with my day

4:44 am

FMitch

I made the scrummiest meal on Saturday, bashed a chicken breast flat and then coated it in breadcrumbs with lemon, parmesan and garlic, and shallow fried it.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, FM!

4:44 am

Haz1558

Poor chicken breast. All your frustrations unloaded.

4:44 am

Riverdance

that sounds great

4:44 am

Riverdance

I cant wait to have real food and not hospital food

4:44 am

rubyfoo

Mom, if you have nothing to do, you could help with my French taxes!

4:45 am

Haz1558

What did you have with it, FM?

4:45 am

Riverdance

I dont do my US taxes - thats what accountants are for - hehe

4:45 am

FMitch

Baby leaf salad and green beans.

4:45 am

Atalante

but for once, I drew him a really nice card for Father's Day so he'd better appreciate it!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Excellent - eating your greens.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

we don't have to pay here (there's a treaty with US) but filling out the form, in French, is a bear!

4:46 am

Haz1558

He will appreciate it, I'm sure, Ata.

4:46 am

FMitch

Im sure he will Ata

4:46 am

rubyfoo

and of course you-know-who won't help!

4:46 am

Haz1558

Max?

4:46 am

Riverdance

how can someone not like hand made

4:47 am

Haz1558

Chows aren't fond of maths, it's all in their breeding.

4:47 am

Atalante

he will :) we've slowly come at least to an understanding over the last few years. I'll never see him as a father, but I'm at least coming to like him as a person now

4:47 am

FMitch

They find it had to count on their claws.

4:47 am

rubyfoo

not like Hans, the counting horse!

4:47 am

herinfernallady

MOmns haven't you got friends to crock pot food you?

4:47 am

Haz1558

And even with a calculator, their lack of paw-eye coordination is a problem.

4:47 am

rubyfoo

Ruby can count to nine

4:48 am

Jayk

Morning everyone. Ruby, didn't you JUST do your taxes like two months ago?

4:48 am

herinfernallady

HI Jayk

4:48 am

rubyfoo

I've learned a trick from Max, if I run away from him, he follows me!

4:48 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jayk.

4:48 am

Riverdance

Im the one eating in the hospital caf - not the best but will get me through - we are hoping to go home today

4:48 am

FMitch

*giggle* Haz

4:49 am

rubyfoo

those were the US ones; now I have to prove to the French that we did those, a real nuisance

4:49 am

Riverdance

its all in the game ruby

4:49 am

FMitch

Hi Jayk

4:49 am

rubyfoo

hospital, momn? what happened?

4:49 am

rubyfoo

hi jayk

4:49 am

Jayk

Aha! Could have figured that out!

4:49 am

herinfernallady

Momns why isn't someone caring for you? If I was there I would have made you a dozen ding meals

4:50 am

Atalante

hmmm 2 great big army helicopters just skimmed the house. that was noisy!

4:50 am

Jayk

so which is easier: that form or this grid?

4:50 am

Riverdance

my son collapsed - heat rate over 300 for a long time - waiting for cardiologist today to give us the word

4:50 am

FMitch

I would say this grid.

4:50 am

Riverdance

heart*

4:51 am

rubyfoo

oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it's OK, will stay tuned to this channel

4:51 am

Riverdance

oh thats nice herin

4:51 am

FMitch

oooh Ata, the chinooks have been flying recently again.

4:51 am

herinfernallady

(screams at Ata ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE trial run)

4:51 am

Riverdance

ell

4:51 am

rubyfoo

at least the grid is in English -- sort of.....

4:51 am

Riverdance

my husband is home to fend for him and my daughter

4:51 am

Atalante

these were Pumas I think

4:51 am

herinfernallady

Momns my friend had a stroke at 28 and I made his g.f at the time a freezer full of ding meals and when he was in rehab a massive picnic.

4:52 am

herinfernallady

Momns is there a church group that could help you?

4:52 am

Atalante

Chinooks are much more exciting!

4:52 am

Riverdance

your friends are very lucky herin to have you

4:53 am

Riverdance

we havent called our friends yet - family yes but not many friends -

4:53 am

herinfernallady

His g.f at the time I didn't like her that much and she told someone that she was suprised I would help to which I said Í am not a total bitch''

4:53 am

FMitch

They give me the same buzz as seeing Concorde fly over.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

Momns it isn't hard for a family member to crock pot you something.

4:54 am

Riverdance

I guess I am just used to dealing....

4:55 am

herinfernallady

Well Momns don't be afraid to ask. A sick child or loved one is hard

4:55 am

Atalante

but never as much as a Vulcan :)

4:55 am

FMitch

Oh thats for sure!

4:56 am

Riverdance

the word will get out today as my son is not in school - he had two friends with him when he collapsed - it was an interesting time at the ED with the kids - they were awesome actually - well they finally stabilized my son, they came up with playing I Spy on their own

4:56 am

herinfernallady

How old is he?

4:56 am

FMitch

Funny, I was just thinking about the Vulcan and wondering if it will be flying in any of the air shows this summer.

4:56 am

Atalante

You really deserve an award for helping others, herin. If you were English, we could nominate you for an OBE :)

4:57 am

FMitch

Hope everything turns out well Mom, it must be a very hard time right now.

4:57 am

Riverdance

the nurses got a big kick out of it - 13 year old boys, pimply faces, cracking voices, playing I Spy

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Awwww Ata. Have always been taught if you can't give someone a tenner give them a hand.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Momns that is sweet

4:58 am

lynxxx

actually our Queens Birthday honors were announced today _ they were saying they were a bit light on women

4:58 am

Riverdance

Its the not knowing - my son is an athlete - has been for years - so why now when he wasnt doing anything to have a cardiac issue - we'll find out soon enough - he is stable, feels fine and wants to go home

4:58 am

lynxxx

Hello all

Haz1558

Hope springs eternal.....

5:01 am

Atalante

I keep trying to see petal

5:01 am

Haz1558

I wanted mufti, but the i was in the wrong place.

5:01 am

FMitch

Atalante

5:02 am

FMitch

Hi there lynxxx

5:02 am

5:02 am

Atalante

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Hello Lynxx

5:03 am

lynxxx

hi FM, did you get any fuschias? (was it fuschias)

5:03 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx do you watch Masterchef?

5:03 am

FMitch

yes it was and no I didn't - there were none, so that gives me another excuse to head to the garden centre :)

5:04 am

lynxxx

I don't Infernal

5:04 am

herinfernallady

You are not missing much

5:04 am

Jayk

Jayk

5:06 am

Atalante

5:07 am

lynxxx

bye FM

5:07 am

Atalante

loool yes, it should. Maybe I'll even add that :P

5:08 am

Haz1558

Okay, time for me to depart as well. Have a good day, everyone, and hope all turns out okay for Mom and son.

5:08 am

Atalante

though "lovely card" does sound rather Father Ted-ish

5:08 am

Atalante

*poofs for real*

5:08 am

Haz1558

Even more Father Ted 'A grand card, so it is'

5:08 am

lynxxx

Mom

rubyfoo

6:33 am

Mom

6:34 am

rubyfoo

6:34 am

Mom

6:43 am

herinfernallady

I love the USA website for target

6:44 am

rubyfoo

in my old working days, I did fitting rooms for the first couple of Target stores; used to go to Minneapolis once a month

6:45 am

Mom

6:46 am

rubyfoo

6:46 am

rubyfoo

that would be a stretch for Minneapolis unless maybe you added St. Paul!

6:46 am

Mom

how long have you been retired, Ruby?

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Crossy I am on that idea too

6:47 am

rubyfoo

8 1/2 yrs, but who's counting? I worked for a while after we moved to France, but the SA company "dispensed with" my expensive services

6:47 am

rubyfoo

do you work, mom?

6:49 am

crosshair

i work,the wife cannot,my money is her money..we are one

6:49 am

rubyfoo

I was single for so long between husbands, that I got used to having (and spending) my own $$

6:50 am

rubyfoo

being married is more of a harness than working!

6:50 am

Mom

no Ruby I just tend to the house and my sweetie. Raised two boys and they have flown the coop.

6:50 am

crosshair

anything we earn goes into a collective pot,we pay the bill we then look in the pot to see what odds and ends we can have

I am pretty excited that the Harry Potter area of Universal is finally opening June 18th...

7:29 am

herinfernallady

TRIFIES I sent yuo a message

7:29 am

Trifioso

did you? was it about tertiare?

7:29 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I just had a stomach flip cringe moment at Glee. Yes i did

7:30 am

Trifioso

she is completely freaking out over going on the school field trip today - it involves a boat, of which she has a dread terror, and has since infancy. I just can't listen to her screech anymore. she is locked in her room, screaming, crying, gagging, the whole thing. the hell with this. She has a therapy appt later today. I think I am just going to cave in, because I SUCK as a mom, and let her sit this one out. it's not worth it

7:31 am

Nancy Boy

morning, Red :) do you know what the attractions there are gonna be?

7:31 am

herinfernallady

No Trifs say to her that it is ok and she doesn't have to go

7:31 am

redturtlehead

Well, they have recreated Hoqwarts and hogsmeade village,

7:31 am

Nancy Boy

it's not a failure, Trif; you can't help people if they don't want to be helped...I guess

7:32 am

herinfernallady

Red I wish I could go

7:32 am

Trifioso

part of me agrees with you, and part of me knows that if I let her stay home, I am giving in to her fear, and teaching her that it is okay to let fear guide your decisions. but she is DEEP in fight or flight right now, and that cannot be reasoned with

7:32 am

redturtlehead

you know Trif, she can be a successful adult without ever getting on a boat. not a big deal in the end. It's different if she has a dread of driving a car..

7:32 am

herinfernallady

Trifs she shouldn't ahve to go on a boat trip if it frightens her so much. Now is not the right time. Pushing her will make it worse

7:33 am

Trifioso

LOL red - not so much in new england. some time or later, you just gotta get on a boat

7:33 am

herinfernallady

No Trifs you need to negotiate. Tell her that you will do this together one step at a time

7:33 am

redturtlehead

Nah, you really don't, but she will miss out of Block Island...

7:33 am

Trifioso

actually, it's george's island today....

7:34 am

redturtlehead

I admit, I am not that fond of boats either, but certainly do not have a phobia.

7:35 am

herinfernallady

Trifs in the grand scheme of things is it that damn important

7:35 am

Nancy Boy

I've never actually read the Harry Potter books...got crushingly bored halfway through the first one. Boy Wizards? No thanks.

7:37 am

Trifioso

no. it isn't. but a life lived in fear is a life half lived. at best. poor little girl

7:37 am

herinfernallady

Trifs. Can she swim?

7:38 am

Trifioso

not to Georges island, no. can she swim in real life?? yes, very, very well.

7:38 am

Nancy Boy

I wouldn't say that Trif. Everyone's scared of something. I mean, jumping off a cliff onto a spike scares me. Will her life really be that much worse for never going on a boat?

7:39 am

herinfernallady

Ok so there is an issue of the boat itself. so she can swim Maybe it is time that you too did it.

7:39 am

Trifioso

it's not the idea of the boat that is getting to me. its the idea that she is caving in to an anxiety.

7:39 am

7:42 am

Nancy Boy

I guess I don't get your logic, Trif. If something scares you and you can still do it, more power to you, but...if you don't want to to something, and will be frightened the whole time, what's the point?

7:43 am

herinfernallady

Lord Sake Trifs but it is no big deal. You can get the boat with her on the weekend. Bargin with her

7:44 am

Nancy Boy

but it's not like I'm the expert on parenting, so...y'know.

7:44 am

Trifioso

the point is, nancy, to face fear and not let it ruin the chance that we may get to do something great. yes, she will be scared on the boat, but once she gets on it, and sees that all is well, she may begin to have fun with her friends, and have a ball out on the island with her class, and see that she can face her fears.

7:46 am

Trifioso

at this point she isn't going anyway, so whatever. it just very upsetting, is all.

7:46 am

Nancy Boy

I'm biased I suppose - facing my fears has never, ever turned out well for me. My biggest fear was coming out...QED ;)

7:47 am

Trifioso

see, and I am someone who has let fear, or anxiety, or whatever you call it, ruin my life. I am afraid of so many things, and it definitely ruined my childhood. I am trying to nip this in the bud for my child

7:47 am

herinfernallady

Trifs why can't you two go as a family?

7:47 am

Trifioso

I could go, and told her so. it didn't help.

7:48 am

Anniebrook

trif, if there is an indoor space on the boat perhaps you can tell her she can stay there and not have to look at water. would that help? can you tell the therapist to work on this type of fear and anxiety? perhaps you should let this day go and talk to her about this later.

7:48 am

Trifioso

excellent idea annie! wish I had thought of that....

7:48 am

Nancy Boy

I'd best be off though. I have to go get mauled around by a bunch of nurses to check that my boyfriend's playing around hasn't had any sinister outcomes. *sigh* later.

7:49 am

Anniebrook

oh god forbid.. I am sure it will all be well but go NB

7:49 am

oh nancy.....I am just heartbroken for you

Hi fellow babblers

7:57 am

herinfernallady

HI beach

7:58 am

rubyfoo

that's what I was afraid of for you, NB! The hell with him; lety's just hope that you're OK!

7:59 am

rubyfoo

As for your daughter, Trif, we all have our fears, some of which are full-blown phobias. So what? As long as we can lead productive lives AROUND them, it just adds diversity. If your daughter is screaming and gagging in fear, it is wrong to make her try to overcome it so publicly. You and the therapist need to go at it very gradually -- small trips in a rowboat or on a little inflatable, nothing big, nothing public.

8:00 am

Trifioso

yes, I think you are right, ruby. its agony to see her like this.

8:00 am

Trifioso

and the minute i said she could stay home? silence

8:00 am

rubyfoo

My husband is terrified of snakes and afraid of mice, rats and bats. So what? It didn't keep him from having a long and productive life.

8:01 am

rubyfoo

I'm terified of tiny worms and maggots but can deal with snakes, spiders and garden worms. Who cares?

8:01 am

herinfernallady

Trifs you sure that there isn't someone giving her grief in her year group?

8:01 am

Trifioso

is one of the words from the top right m a weird way of spelling what a cat says?

8:01 am

Merk

... and Fireworks!

8:02 am

rubyfoo

I don't like flying any more, but still went to London for a party. Let her be.

8:02 am

rubyfoo

congrats Merk!

8:03 am

Trifioso

ruby, i get what you are saying. I really do! my concern is that a lot of people develop anxieties and fears that absolutely DO take over their lives. What if this fear transfers to cars, and she refuses to get in a car? What will her life look like then? What if she gets some amazing opportunity to do something later in life, but it involves a boat, so she passes it by?

8:03 am

rubyfoo

Just keep lines of communication open, Trif, let her talk to you about her fears and stay away from those things until she's ready

8:04 am

Trifioso

well, for today, the actual ship has actually sailed, so I think she and I will concentrate on doing fun stuff at home. I certainly am not going to punish her, in any measurement!

8:04 am

herinfernallady

Trifs I don't drive so what is the big deal. I don't understand. Why can't you get her to go with you privatly

8:04 am

rubyfoo

I don't think fears work that way. They seem to remain discrete, at least in my experience. Sometimes we even get over them. But being pushed really doesn't help.

8:05 am

rubyfoo

I was afraid of snakes, reflexively, until I went to a favculty party, got a little tipsy and was handed one. That was that for the fear. Now I love them!

8:05 am

herinfernallady

I was pee your pants afraid of cockroaches. I slowly got over it by going to the museum and facing the horrid bugs when they had a roach show

8:06 am

Trifioso

okay -- regarding today's grid -- I have fu6, in6, wi6 -- what am I missing, please?

8:06 am

Mr Bob

Good morning all

8:06 am

rubyfoo

eeeew. I don't like roaches, but am not afraid of them. They're just disgusting. Did you know the Japanese word for them translates as "oily insects"?

8:07 am

rubyfoo

well, I guess I'm a loser, don't have any of those 6's trif. LOL

8:07 am

rubyfoo

Hi Mr. Bob, what are you afraid of, chog wants to know!

8:08 am

beachboggle

Hi Mr Bob

8:08 am

rubyfoo

my sister went to a de-sensitization class for her fear of dogs which helped a lot but she is phobic about roaches!

8:09 am

rubyfoo

do you have hints for those 6's trif?

8:09 am

herinfernallady

Ruby you heard of that movie Mimic?

8:09 am

rubyfoo

no, what is it?

8:10 am

Trifioso

let's see - the fu6 is like the film director stanley, but change the first letter to an f, and then make it plural.

8:10 am

Trifioso

the in6 is not out, and what you hang posters on

8:11 am

Trifioso

the wi is the first four letters of a popular web encyclopedia site, and then the pixar movie where the house floats away

8:11 am

herinfernallady

it is a very stupid movie that has cockroaches that get mutated to human size and they mimic humans really stupid b grade movie frightened me silly

8:11 am

rubyfoo

sounds awful!

8:12 am

rubyfoo

speaking of fears, poor Ruby is afraid of thunder and is sitting so close to me, that I can smell her breath!

8:12 am

Chog, I have no fear of house and garden pests, except my wife.

8:49 am

rosalie4

It's just the last two you need - definition is a native American lodge . . .

8:49 am

mkg

rosalie still cant git it. darn.

8:50 am

Nancy Boy

8:52 am

your body will replace the blood very very soon, Nancy Boy, no worries :) Lots of liquid (non-alcoholic) and veggies will help.

9:55 am

mom2han8

You can have the distinction, I don't care.... but it sure is humid as hell here, for the most part!

9:57 am

10:10 am

guernseygirl

I loved learning about Indians when I was little. I wanted to become one

10:15 am

Magyk

I've learned a lot about Native Americans because my great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee

10:15 am

guernseygirl

i used to play cowboys and indians with my brother, but most of the information we got was from westerns on the television. i think we watched the Lone Ranger.

10:15 am

bichon

I was always disappointed as a child because all of my relatives were from Eastern Europe

10:15 am

guernseygirl

Probab;ly not a very reliable source

10:16 am

European heritage, Bichon?

12:56 pm

periwinkle

We lived in South Carolina and Virginia, so I figure I get to go automatically to heaven.

12:56 pm

FMitch

redturtlehead

rubyfoo

1:03 pm

stidgmere

Hello ruby, just trying to finish up a word her and there.

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

hiya stidg!

1:07 pm

redturtlehead

Ruby, I want your rain. we are all bright blue skies, fluff for clouds and heat heat....awful.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

it's perfect here, but then you'd have to deal with the DH!

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

and the tomato plants are fat and flowery!

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

and the newly-planted strawberries have sent out lots of runners, so next year, you're all invited for strawberry short tart

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

if anybody has them, I could use hints (pls) for left-hand i and k

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

I have one of each

1:11 pm

redturtlehead

the I is Not out and the interior supports of a home, and then plural it.

1:12 pm

redturtlehead

ruby, as I am not married to him, I imagine he might be a little different for me to deal with.

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

ty for the i! red

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

I'm sure he'd be nicer

1:12 pm

FMitch

k+ short sleep

1:12 pm

redturtlehead

the K i have is a ki 4, its ki plus an appreviation for Not Applicable.

1:12 pm

FMitch

or ki + the 1st 2 letters of the short sleep

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

thanks FM 10 left.

1:13 pm

redturtlehead

for a while at least he would be nicer...til he got really sick of having a guest.

1:13 pm

FMitch

strawberry party sounds great ruby!

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

he is always nice to guests!

1:14 pm

redturtlehead

I want some tomatoes. I love homegrown.

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I'll be ready! From the way the potager looks, there'll be strawberries, raspberries and currants, all at the same time, plenty to go around and around!

1:14 pm

redturtlehead

yum! and in France!

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

the only tomatoes I'll eat, come from my own garden. The ones in the stores are awful

1:15 pm

FMitch

Oh nothing like eating a tomatoe still warm with the sun on it, the scent and taste is wonderful.

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

how bad is that? somebody has to live here!

1:16 pm

redturtlehead

I enjoyed Paris when I was there, but I've not really seen France, only a wee bit of Paris, and a big supply area in Bordeaux.

1:16 pm

redturtlehead

oooh 9 left.

1:17 pm

FMitch

wtg red!

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

red, if you watch the Tour de France, you'll get a good idea of the countryside. And last year, it came past my house and through our village (not a pictureque village, however)

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

14 left and I think it's hopeless, but it's nice to be here, anyway, and Japan beat Cameroon! How good is that?

1:18 pm

FMitch

Why is that good ruby (not up on who should beat whom)?

1:19 pm

stidmama

hello all

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

well, the idea that the little Japanese could beat the very large Cameroonians tickles me.

1:19 pm

FMitch

Ah OK
Greetings stiddy!

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

Also, I have a very soft spot for the Japanese, having done biz with them for years and visited.

1:20 pm

redturtlehead

they are probably faster. Odd though I would have though Cameroon would have better footballers.

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

Especially with Eto'o!

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

but the Japanese were fast and surprisingly tough and the Cams looked disorganized

1:21 pm

redturtlehead

Sadly I am so typically American, barely paying attention to the World Cup..

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

if I had to pick one cuisine, it would be Japanese, believe it or not

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

but the Americans were wonderful!

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

and they tied the English

1:22 pm

stidmama

I think the opening game of the World Cup is probably overwhelming for some... thankfully it's a round robin first few matches so there is a chance for each t4 to get it together

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

sorry FM.... :(

1:22 pm

FMitch

I wish I could ignore it red but it is all over the TV as the time dif between UK and S.A is only 2 hours.

1:22 pm

stidmama

the English weren't bad, they scored so fast!

1:22 pm

FMitch

NP roby, we will recoup and come back!

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

I've been arguing with my nephew, via facebook, all week. He's become very English, no American allegiance whatever.

1:23 pm

redturtlehead

I feel I am a st** above most in that I am aware that it is going on, and that its a huge deal outside of the States.

1:24 pm

stidmama

we like football, don't watch it often, but it's WAY more engaging (to me) than the American Football

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

they scored fast because the Americans were too nervous at the start

1:24 pm

FMitch

IT is mad over here, 1 in 4 cars are flying flags, houses, pubs and buildings covered with flags etc etc.

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

one of our Dutch babblers (they won, of course) SAID THAT EVERYTHING IN hOLLAND WAS COVERED WITH ORANGE FUZZY WORMS!

1:24 pm

stidmama

the paraguay/italy match is about to start!!!

1:25 pm

stidmama

rofl orange fuzzy worms... *grin*

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

sorry for the caps, big pinkie strikes again!

1:25 pm

stidmama

need the left-hand i for NBT. help please?

1:25 pm

stidmama

I LOVE how the little kids walk the players onto the field, too.

1:25 pm

stidmama

but I hate the noisemakers

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

yes, gd night all, heading upstairs to root for Italy. And DH has no interest!

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

yes, the noisemakers are like having a beehive around your head

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

plus, I'm trying to listen in French

1:26 pm

FMitch

in + brick partition and pl for the 7

1:26 pm

stidmama

1:27 pm

FMitch

Congrats steve

1:27 pm

redturtlehead

7 left now for me. Picking slowly.

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

rah rah Italy! It is funny that the French, as much as they dislike Americans, dislike the English even more.

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

Listening to the commentators was a hoot!

1:28 pm

stidmama

down to 20. not sure if I will list today or not.

1:28 pm

stidmama

I have all the time in the world...

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

They were calling the American goalie the orange giant!

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

((everybody))

1:29 pm

stidmama

I don't understand people who dislike others based on their nationalities... I can get disliking individuals, and I completely understand why a person might despise an entire government...

1:30 pm

stidmama

I wish I knew more spanish.french.italian so I could listen in on those conversations.

1:30 pm

stevedallas

working off and on

1:30 pm

stidmama

1:31 pm

stidmama

stidmama

#22

1:31 pm

stidmama

oh, he got spikes in his shin. owie

1:32 pm

stidmama

I think, if I could play a sport (not competitive by nature) I would play soccer. Except I don't think I would be good at tackling the ball *watching players slide yards across the field*

1:32 pm

stidmama

left column grey!

1:33 pm

FMitch

I loved netball and hockey at school

1:33 pm

stidmama

I don't know netball, hockey might be fun, with enough bubble wrap!

1:34 pm

FMitch

netball is a bit like basketball ish

1:34 pm

stidmama

okay. I will go look it up, FM

1:35 pm

FMitch

As I was one of the tallest in the class I always got picked first for the teams for goal defence :)

1:36 pm

FMitch

Does anyone need any more clues otherwise I shall be off I think.

1:36 pm

stidmama

interesting! Australia, New Zealand and England have the top three netball teams in the world, according to the official organization. It does look intriguing.

1:38 pm

FMitch

It is a fun game stiddy and can be very fast and competative.

1:38 pm

kipas

I am stuck on my last word. It is pi 4,9. I have the color, and the type, any clues for the third one?

1:38 pm

stidmama

I think I will hold off on clues for now FM, thanks. And thanks for telling me about this other game! ((hugs))

1:38 pm

Atalante

ugh, I hated netball :)

1:39 pm

FMitch

change the vowel at the end of the type one kipas

1:39 pm

FMitch

Good evening Ata!!!

1:39 pm

stidmama

hey Atalante! how's the bum leg? have been thinking about you and hobbit!

1:39 pm

kipas

thank you so much Mitch.

1:39 pm

stidmama

Lucky says he is bored to tears and he wishes babble had never been invented. And he wants to know if hobbit can come play...

1:39 pm

stidmama

YAY kipas?

1:39 pm

Atalante

getting better! and Hobbit has *finally* I think stopped - um -

1:40 pm

Atalante

Haz put it in a very ladylike way earlier

1:40 pm

kipas

YUP! Fireworks.

1:40 pm

Atalante

proceeding from both ends, I think!!

1:40 pm

FMitch

oh good re Hobbit, charcoal does work :)

1:40 pm

FMitch

Congrats kipas

1:40 pm

kipas

Atalante

1:41 pm

stidmama

oh, poor hobbit! I hope she's going to be okay. poor puppy.

1:41 pm

FMitch

Hope you both will get a good night sleep tonight then!

1:42 pm

FMitch

Don't feel sorry for her stiddy - I was going to say it will teach her not to eat things on the beach but she will ...

1:42 pm

Atalante

me too :) she ate something foul, stiddy *sigh* and she'd love to come and play with Lucky! She'd boss him around though :P

1:42 pm

stidmama

ew. ick. beach sick. *gag*

1:43 pm

FMitch

LOL

1:43 pm

stidmama

that would be okay. He hasn't been properly bossed since Buffy died almost two years ago.

1:43 pm

stidmama

twelve left now.

1:43 pm

Atalante

yes ..... and whatever it was, it was obviously REALLY nasty

1:43 pm

FMitch

Is it 2 years already - how time does fly by.

1:44 pm

FMitch

BRB

1:44 pm

stidmama

yes, in July FM. And do you know I still sometimes sort of stop and look for her? *shakes head* amazing how quickly and how completely a companion animal becomes a fixture in one's life

1:45 pm

Atalante

absolutely ...

1:45 pm

stidgmere

Companion daughter, I'm signing off with 7 left and am on my way.

1:45 pm

stidmama

rofl. that is now the SECOND time I needed to enter a singular for a plural I already had!

1:45 pm

stidmama

hello Mother, will be ready when you get here ((hugs))

1:49 pm

stidmama

1:50 pm

stidmama

bottom row is grey, down to 5

1:50 pm

Atalante

1:51 pm

stidmama

1:52 pm

stidmama

1:52 pm

FMitch

yay stiddy!

1:53 pm

stidmama

hm. *frustrated mama look*

1:53 pm

stidmama

I need to run Lucky a little before Mother gets here. Will finish later.

1:54 pm

stidmama

Does anyone know how many words we need to find?

2:08 pm

Atalante

64, denise

2:09 pm

deniseharrington

thank you

2:09 pm

Atalante

small one today :)

2:10 pm

deniseharrington

I haven't done this puzzle much. I like the sudoku but I must be a numbers person because this is hard for me.

2:11 pm

Atalante

it gets a bit easier as you get into the swing of it

2:12 pm

Atalante

and start recognising some of the weirder words it throws up!

2:12 pm

deniseharrington

I hope so because I have 36 words and I think I am done. My vocabulary needs expanding

2:13 pm

Atalante

over half way, that#s pretty good for a "beginner"!

2:14 pm

deniseharrington

Thanks for the encouragement.

2:14 pm

Atalante

there;s not many people around at the moment, but there';s usually clues flying round the chat log and a very useful resource called lickety

2:15 pm

Atalante

if you click on "lickety's babble clues" under the grid in the "Friends of Babble" section, it'll bring up a list of first 2 letters of the words. Very useful!!

2:15 pm

deniseharrington

Well, I might have to come back more often.

2:16 pm

Atalante

you should :) it's a good place to be. and there;s a lot of names you'd recognise from sudoku

2:17 pm

EvaNadine

*steals Ata and takes her hostage for Etsy craft night meetup*

2:17 pm

Atalante

yes please!!!! that sounds sooo much fun!!

2:18 pm

Atalante

eva, say hi to a new recruit!

2:18 pm

EvaNadine

hello denise!

2:18 pm

deniseharrington

Hi, still on 36.

2:18 pm

EvaNadine

if youre over halfway on your first grid, youre doing quite well! small grids are surprisingly tricky.

2:19 pm

deniseharrington

I grew up with smurfs, why isn't that a word?

2:20 pm

Atalante

ahhh well, Eva, explain enable LOL

2:20 pm

EvaNadine

alas, proper nouns arent accepted.
but see, Babble uses the Enable dictionary which is...erm, finicky.

2:20 pm

bethanyej

me4,6 anyone?

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

Enable = unable. disabled.

2:21 pm

deniseharrington

Aaaahhhhhh!

2:21 pm

Atalante

cat noise, bethay

2:22 pm

bethanyej

omigod - don't tell my cat :)

2:22 pm

Jillyjill

hi jilli!

7:37 pm

lbdawger

hi jilli and jilly

7:39 pm

lbdawger

i'm developing a severe dislike to cell phones. I get quite perturbed when a customer desides s/he would rather talk on the phone than finish a conversation/transaction with me. Am I suppose to wait for them to finish talking before telling them they owe x amount for their purchase?

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

hi ibd and a pet peeve of mine is TEXTING while carrying on a conversation with me... :-(

7:44 pm

lbdawger

the thing is, it's people of my generation, not young kids! it's not multi-tasking, it's just rude!

7:46 pm

Jillyjill

Really is, whatever happened to telling someone you'll call em back!

7:49 pm

kje

hahaha lbd - I have never seen anyone talking in a public restroom while peeing

7:49 pm

kje

but wouldn't surprise me

7:50 pm

lbdawger

what makes people think they can't live without the phone attached to their ear?

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry kje, but I've heard 'em in the stall next door

7:50 pm

lbdawger

I've had it happen, KJE. really a weird experience too

7:50 pm

torgone

People do it at my company all the time ..

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

I stopped using a bluetooth except while driving...one looks like they are talking to themselves!

7:52 pm

lbdawger

well, they kind of are talking to themselves...in public anyway. i think it's just silly that people think they just HAVE to be on the phone to someone...and they talk really LOUD!! as if they have to yell in order to be heard!

7:54 pm

lbdawger

enough of my venting...

7:54 pm

kje

i just got the cutest most comfy sandals in the mail

8:12 pm

Jillyjill

YAY stid!

8:12 pm

kje

funny - i saw the ll camel before the la one

8:12 pm

stidmama

maybe I am just needing tranquility?

8:13 pm

lbdawger

are you stressed, stid?

8:13 pm

kje

maybe the priest helped you more stid

8:13 pm

kje

where as I was hot and needed a camel - LOL

8:13 pm

stidmama

a bit, LBD. I need to re-write my self evaluation, and do a few other tieing up loose ends things.

8:13 pm

stidmama

also worried about elder stidkid

8:13 pm

kje

why

8:14 pm

lbdawger

ugh, i hate self evaluations

8:14 pm

stidmama

and realizing that my life is upside down and not moving fast in a corrective direction

8:14 pm

Riverdance

Just checking - whooohoooo

8:14 pm

stidmama

RIVER!!!!

8:14 pm

lbdawger

uh oh, what's up with stidkid1?

8:14 pm

stidmama

it worked! *bounce bounce*

8:14 pm

lbdawger

hi river!

8:15 pm

Riverdance

hey - its a good day - finally home and new name - what could be better

8:15 pm

stidmama

related to the issues I emailed you about a couple years ago, LBD. Thought things were under control, and now realizing that he seems to be NOT where most kids his age are in terms of skills and responsibility. Worried about his future prospects, you know?

8:16 pm

stidmama

And the school has totally dropped the ball and so far I am getting NO response from anyone at the school despite first letters of concern sent out three weeks ago.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

oh. in some cases, he never will be. but in others he will surpass his peers

8:17 pm

lbdawger

Staying on top of the school can be a full time job. Contact the Special Education Office. DEMAND a response

8:18 pm

Jillyjill

here in montana, they are required to have a meeting twice a year to go over the progress/plan for special needs kids

8:19 pm

Jillyjill

mine was ADD

8:19 pm

lbdawger

If that doesn't work contact OPE (office of public instruction) give them the layout of what has been happening and tell them you expect a responce within 30 days of the date on the letter.

8:19 pm

stidmama

For some strange reason, I thought public schools were obligated to notify parents when things were not right and start evaluations and interventions. I am absolutely going to do that LBD, and doing "summer school" at home for him because I can't wait for their turtle-slow responses. You know... If I had made waves in January (though I didn't notice anything amiss until March and thought at that point it was minor) ... *mama guilt*

8:20 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

8:20 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:21 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD. I will contact our local superintendent (we contract with a different school district for all high school) and also make waves. Thanks Jilly -- the federal law now says THREE times a year, but they seem to be ignoring students who don't have a previous IEP

8:21 pm

stidmama

hey Min! welcome to the grid!

8:21 pm

lbdawger

no need for mama guilt. the school should have responded to his needs, but like most public institutions, they are short handed and things get pushed aside. I suspect that budgets were a major issue this year. not that that is an excuse.

8:21 pm

stidmama

but the federal stuff is clear that evaluation and identification is supposed to be for ALL students *sigh*

8:22 pm

stidmama

yes, budgets are very tight here. but it is NOT an excuse. And refusing to respond to parent emails is absolutely unprofessional.

8:22 pm

Riverdance

no sleep in two nights - need to get to bed - good night all

8:22 pm

Jillyjill

nite river

8:22 pm

stidmama

gee River, sweet dreams and see you tomorrow ((hugs))

8:22 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye RIverdance! I'll see you tomorrow in the log!

8:23 pm

lbdawger

Federal law has precidence. PL 94-162 which changed when it became another PL number, but basically said the same thing, states that all children will be given a fre and appropriate education. The key word there is appropriate

8:23 pm

lbdawger

nightnight, river

8:23 pm

Jillyjill

stid, I did find one had to be a pain in the neck, I also found a couple advocates in the system that went to bat for us

8:24 pm

stidmama

thanks LBD, that is what I thought... and I am certainly finding that we get attention ONLY when we make waves -- but they are slower than molasses in Antarctica in July.

8:24 pm

lbdawger

Client Assistance Program thru Voc Rehab should be able to stear you to an advocate

8:24 pm

Jillyjill

on the other hand, mine has finally gotten his footing @ 27 and is doing VERY well. and don't you DARE do any guilt trips on yourself. You deserve a pat on the back for loving him and being an advocate

8:24 pm

Minveryork

W's Waylayed! 2 left

8:25 pm

lbdawger

go Min!

8:25 pm

Jillyjill

hi min!

Not tonight I fear, after great strides I am stuck in several needing only one...grrrrr

8:26 pm

Minveryork

8:27 pm

Minveryork

8:31 pm

lbdawger

8:32 pm

Riverdance

no sleep but still cant sleep so who needs help

8:32 pm

lbdawger

why no sleep, river?

8:32 pm

Riverdance

been living at hospital with son since Saturday

8:33 pm

lbdawger

oh, that's right. how's he doing?

8:33 pm

Riverdance

the day morning folks have seen me on - hospital gave me a laptop to use - so what do I do - of course - babble with friends

8:34 pm

stidmama

sorry, stidkid #2 had a questions

8:34 pm

Riverdance

we came home today - he cant do anything - rest only until they schedule the cath - how do I keep my athlete down - he doesnt understand why he cant go to baseball tomorrow night or soccer tryouts next week - ugh!!!

8:34 pm

lbdawger

how kind of the morning staff. and where else would you go? babble is more than just a word game!

8:34 pm

stidmama

River??? son??? sick??? *very concerned mama look*

8:34 pm

LeslieAnn

yes she is getting lots of virtual hugs ((river))

8:35 pm

lbdawger

how old is he, river?

8:35 pm

Riverdance

quite a shock stid - my 13 year old collapsed saturday - heart rate over 300 for over 40 minutes - not good - transferred to PICU - thats where I have been since Saturday

8:36 pm

stidmama

oh River....

8:36 pm

Riverdance

his heart electricals are off - they need to do a cathetization (sp?) but dont know when yet - on meds until then

8:36 pm

lbdawger

hard to keep any 13 year old down let alone quiet.

8:36 pm

stidmama

this seems somewhat emergent river, and they can't schedule catheterization sooner???

8:37 pm

Riverdance

you are so right lb - kept me going while in the hospital

8:37 pm

stidmama

what a difficult situation for you both. (((many gentle mama hugs)))

8:37 pm

Riverdance

well dont get sick on a weekend - no specialists on duty

8:38 pm

Riverdance

then come Monday they are all busy so will get back to me - stabilized so they dont care - this is a huge teaching hospital - very good hospital but....

8:38 pm

lbdawger

*makes note, only get sick during business hours*

8:38 pm

stidmama

*makes note, don't need specialist care...*

8:38 pm

Riverdance

so all those little quibbles we have - throw those out - I got home and daughter started in on me - I dont care - she is healthy

8:39 pm

lbdawger

i would think as a teaching hospital that they would want to expose the interns to unusual cases such as his

8:39 pm

stidmama

NO. not a good hospital if they can't take care of their patients.

8:40 pm

Riverdance

Keith feels great - doesnt understand why he cant play ball - this will be my challenge

8:40 pm

Riverdance

oh interns are there making rounds - no one with authority is there

8:40 pm

stidmama

Can you bribe him with a new video game or DVD movie???

8:40 pm

lbdawger

you may want to use some visuals or anecdotes to get him to understand that his heart has a short somewhere.

8:40 pm

Riverdance

the folks working are great - nurses, interns, residents ..... but no one with authority to make a decision or do a test other than blood

8:41 pm

lbdawger

time for a call or writing campaign to the hospital administration as well as a few choice board of directors.

8:41 pm

Riverdance

he totally understands why but his energy level wants to go go go - I will have to put a lock on the trampoline and hide his bike....

8:42 pm

Riverdance

its like that everywhere Lb - no action on the weekends unless dire emergency - they were ab le to stablize him in the ED and move him to ICU to make sure no further problem so why do anything else....

8:43 pm

stidmama

River, I think this is a case to MAKE WAVES.

8:43 pm

lbdawger

do you have a family doctor? maybe he can "prescribe some limited activity" for Keith.

8:44 pm

stidmama

The American Heart Association has some short descriptions and illustrations/video of different types of tachycardia

8:44 pm

Riverdance

I understand, I dont want to work weekends either but do something on Monday - we waited all day for the cardiologist and finally at 5 pm he showed to say he was being discharged and they woudl call to schedule the cath.. ugh

8:45 pm

Riverdance

we have strict orders - no activity, no exercise at all, rest on meds, need to keep heart rate down

8:45 pm

lbdawger

poor kid. poor mama.

8:46 pm

Riverdance

Keith went into major svt's - danger level where your heart stops working. Example, a stress test will get you to 200 or slightly above - his was 322 at the max

8:46 pm

stidmama

Does your son "do" any of the social networking sites/games? What are his options for staying mentally interested while remaining stationary (other than video games?)

8:46 pm

lbdawger

holy buckets!

8:48 pm

Riverdance

we will find out whats going on and deal....Keith is doing great and understands whats going on - he just doesnt know how to sit still. We got home today and there was a BIG heart balloon with gifts from my neighter - all kinds of word games, playstation game..... he'll be OK

8:48 pm

stidmama

*mama hugs for River* golly gee.

8:48 pm

lbdawger

now we need to get mama on an okay level so she can sleep

8:49 pm

stidmama

yes, he will be. And so will you. *strong mama vibes*

8:49 pm

stidmama

can you drink warm milk? My mother used to make warm vanilla milk for us when we couldn't sleep.

8:49 pm

stidmama

Or chamomile tea.

8:49 pm

lbdawger

nothing worse than having a sick kid, especially this kind of sick where chicken soup aint gonna fix it.

8:49 pm

stidmama

A soothing bath always used to work for me...

8:50 pm

stidmama

For sure, it does not help either of you if you need sleep and aren't getting it.

8:50 pm

lbdawger

lavendar...bath, tea or lotion...it's a nice calming balm

8:50 pm

Riverdance

the heck with warm milk - I finally got to pour a glass of wine - that will knock me out but good - unfortunately have to work tomorrow

8:50 pm

Riverdance

I will do calming stuff tomorrow

8:51 pm

Riverdance

but thank you all so Much - I really needed you all tonight

8:51 pm

Minveryork

I ate hot dogs w/cole sl 4/8 for dinner.Then finished the grid. Now I can do my story of clues. I wa 4/8 to write about baseball So here it is.My hubby loves the baseball te 4/5 The New York Yankees. I am not into basbeball, but if I had to pick a te 4/5 that I liked, it would be the Minnesota Tw4/8 because I used to live in Minnesota. But I think all baseball te 5/12 are paid too much! Hubby wa 5/18 me to be more interested in baseball, but I'd rather babble or go to the ma4/5. My husband hates going to ma 5/12. I think he takes baseball too seriously.He fu4/9 and loses his te4/5er whenever they lose a game. Husband sl4/5 his hands against the wa 5/18 whenever they lose a game. If I st 4/5 into the room to tell him something while he is watching baseball,he will put up his hand and say not now. Now I am going to get off my fat ru 4/7 to take a shower with lots of st 5/12. I will be back later on.
