NonnieLight - I think she was a housemaid, in the Liverpool area of England, and the Mormons were looking for women to come to US (also men, I guess). And I guess life was so hard in England, anything sounded better. But, I've seen a program about that trek, andd I think many people died on the way.

Yes, many lost their lives. It was a difficult trek. Especially for those who traveled by handcart. Not many supplies can be put in a handcart and even if they could, then they have to be hauled across rough terrain. I can't even begin to imagine...

good morning sprite. How are you this cool, damp Sunday?
4:04 am

morning rubyfoo, am okish, and you?
4:05 am
rubyfoo

not looking forward to winter and cold weather! But John is coming to visit on Wednesday for husband's birthday (probably, that is, as he's coming on standby)
4:05 am
rubyfoo

so that should brighten things up a bit!
4:06 am
sprite

oh how lovely. Tell him hi, I still enjoy his music a lot. Very nice for husband that John is there for his BD too.
4:06 am
rubyfoo

husband is having terrible back pain, new for him, a result of the dog attack when the dog took him down
4:06 am
rubyfoo

yes, and nice for me to take some of the b-day pressure off
4:06 am
sprite

oh dang, that is awful.
4:06 am
rubyfoo

his back hurts more than the bites did
4:07 am
rubyfoo

he is taking MY pain killers as I always have back pain, but have learned to live with it
4:07 am
sprite

probably the place where most of the stress settled too :(
If I can sit long enough, I will put up some Terra pics on flicker for your husband.
4:07 am
rubyfoo

he is not accustomed to having pain
4:08 am
rubyfoo

that might cheer him up as he is very depressed
4:08 am
sprite

that makes it harder on him... and on you. Pain is an energy devourer at best, and ruins your life at worst.
4:08 am
rubyfoo

I ordered some fossils for him from England, but they still haven't arrived!
4:09 am
sprite

better start making a lovely page for him then, with pictures and the promise they are in the mail...
4:09 am
rubyfoo

since I always have at least a little pain, I have learned to manage it and therefore live pretty well, just knowing my limitations. He thinks that if he pushes himself, it will go away. And, of course, he won't listen to me!
4:09 am
rubyfoo

that's a good idea
4:10 am
rubyfoo

I asked John to look for another fossil in Austin but I don't know if he'll have time
4:10 am
sprite

I know, living with pain is an art in itself. I never listened to anyone either, had to find out the hard way how to handle things. Just love him and in the meanwhile take good care of yourself.
4:11 am
rubyfoo

I think he's part chow chow, same stubborness
4:11 am
sprite

lol
4:13 am
sprite

we had such a laugh when my love had his birthday. His hat had not arrived from Australia yet and we managed to buy him a party hat, the shape of a real hat, but bright orange and with holes in the rim for beer glasses.
4:13 am
sprite

will never forget his fa4 when he saw it :D
4:17 am
rubyfoo

that is so cute!
4:17 am
sprite

entirely thanks to the WK football, lol, or we'd never have been able to find something like that.
4:20 am
rubyfoo

see you later, sweetie, that is a good idea about making him a fossil collage in a card!

hey all... another tiny grid, eh? I woke up early from coughing. I am worried that I might not make it in to teach tomorrow. That would be bad, since my professor is supposed to observe me. *sigh* on the other hand, I have not "rested" this weekend all that much. *whine whine whine*

clue for the second fa4/8
9:48 am
stidmama

I used to, Mom -- but last year and the two years before I was generally much healthier than in the past. I really think it's because I don't live within 60 miles of the school I was placed at for the fall. Otherwise, I have been pretty healthy the last few years.
9:48 am
Boobear

oops found it
9:49 am
Mom

Oh Stid, that is quite a drive
9:50 am
Mom

**crosses fingers** hope this is the last of your illnesses
9:50 am
stidmama

yes, it was pretty stupid for me to accept this placement, but I really didn't know that it would be quite as difficult as it is. Oh well, only about 5 weeks to go.
9:51 am
Mom

I don't think it was stupid at all, Stid. You wouldn't have known otherwise and it might have always been in the back of your mind, should I have? Now you know.
9:53 am
stidmama

Thanks Mom. Thing is, a woman my age probably ought to have thought more and been more assertive. I am still learning... probably a good model for my students!

seain, was reading yesterday about the stinkbugs in DC -- what's up with THAT?! LOL
11:01 am
dcseain

we have stink bugs and ragweed in droves
11:01 am
dcseain

even more stinkbugs than last year
11:02 am
dcseain

the theory is the drought caused it, or the harsh winter, or the intersection thereof. The ragweed is due to drought -- it thrives in dry
11:02 am
Uneaixoise

ragweed, I understand but what did you do to deserve stinkbugarama
11:02 am
ardilla

thanx dcseain
11:02 am
Uneaixoise

yeah, ragweed's having a ball here in TN as well :-)
11:03 am
dcseain

they're easy to deal with, they don't bite, the don't run, you can vacuum them up, or pick them up and flush them or whate

actually m, this flu is really wearing me down. having trouble thinking, and reading is harder than normal. AND I need to pull things together for the back to school night on Tuesday. *sigh*
11:05 am
dcseain

crickets are weeks away yet here, happily. Tail end of stinkbugs overlaps the start of indoor crickets, just as end of cicadas overlaps start of outdoor crickets. The latter is how Summer ends sonically if there's enough trees around
11:05 am
Uneaixoise

soooo sorry you're feeling so crummy, stiddy :-(
11:05 am
dcseain

rest, hydrate, and move slowly, stid

fortunately, I am doing a project-based unit... so at least 6 of the 15 days are mostly for student work! LOL but I still need to do some instruction, which will be in the form of "minilessons" with time to practice each time I teach.

pot's heating for the mirepoix -- minestrone will be had
11:47 am
m9f9l

onions, carrots and celery?
11:47 am
dcseain

indeed! Tiny hint of garlic in this mix too
11:48 am
LeslieAnn

i don't know what a mirepoix is, but it would be a high-scoring babble word
11:48 am
dcseain

two parts onion, on part carrot, one part celery, sweated until soft is a mirepoix. Sometimes, a tad of garlic in it too
11:49 am
LeslieAnn

how do you sweat something?
11:49 am
dcseain

for me, mirepoix is the start of many a savory dish
11:49 am
LeslieAnn

^ not domestic
11:49 am
dcseain

cook on low heat until soft so the veggies retain color and texture, if a softened texture
11:50 am
dcseain

i use an oil base, but a butter base is good too
11:50 am
Jindigo

afternoon everyone... back for my last 2
11:50 am

11:50 am
dcseain

hi, jindigo

11:51 am
dcseain

and Thanksgiving stuffing ain't right w/out it in my family :)
11:51 am
Jindigo

i need a clue for ER 5/14 and SA 512 please
11:51 am
m9f9l

really? i do celery/onion in my stuffing.. but not the carrot.
11:51 am
m9f9l

ms jong.
11:52 am
LeslieAnn

er 5/14 is like what a volcano does, but different fourth letter
11:52 am
dcseain

each is different, m9, and they're all good.
11:52 am
dcseain

ty, Leslie
11:52 am
m9f9l

oops. 5/FOURTEEN.
11:53 am

sa 5/12 ends with solid water.
11:53 am

11:54 am

so long as there's lots of sage in my stuffing, I'm happy.LOL
11:54 am

woot found all the sixes by myself. guess i have to go listless now. :)
11:55 am

(I didn't go listless though... I need to be super efficient and get 'er dun while boy is asleep)
12:00 pm
LeslieAnn

everyone is asleep here! but mostly since i already took the dogs to the dog park this morning :)
12:02 pm
dcseain

oops pot too small, so i'll be starting the potatoes and mushrooms in the larger one, then bring the mirepoix over to it. Sigh
12:02 pm
m9f9l

no biggie seain!
12:03 pm
dcseain

indeed, just an extra pot to wash :) At least the house smells nice thanks to the aromatics
12:03 pm
m9f9l

pots are so easy to wash though.. if you do them right away.
12:03 pm
dcseain

exactly :)
12:03 pm
m9f9l

I like to just do it right as the pot gets emptied.
12:03 pm
dcseain

so, off to start potatos and mushrooms. so do i most of the time
12:04 pm
m9f9l

I bet it smells good! I should make some chicken soup. Since we've got sickies today.
12:06 pm
LeslieAnn

there we go, nbt with 13 left
12:07 pm
m9f9l

nice Leslie!!!
12:09 pm
LeslieAnn

why can't you plural the italian goodbye?
12:13 pm
m9f9l

hmm... like "they said their (italian goodbyes)' ??
12:14 pm
LeslieAnn

maybe that is not grammatically correct in italian
12:14 pm
dcseain

same reason you cannot plural aloha
12:14 pm
dcseain

so, onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. Should be good, no?
12:15 pm
LeslieAnn

i'm not sure, seain. i'll be over to test in a few.
12:15 pm
dcseain

ci4 works like aloha in Italian, so no, not grammatically correct in Italian :)
12:15 pm
LeslieAnn

oh well. as i only have 1 c left i was trying to wish the word into existence
12:18 pm
LeslieAnn

1:01 pm
dcseain

this is the 1st soup i've made from scratch
1:02 pm
Judi

Mmmm. What kind of soup, dc?
1:03 pm
dcseain

onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. so, minestrone-esque
1:03 pm
Judi

**sluuuuurp** sounds good to me!
1:05 pm
dcseain

i think i'll finish a bowl with some red pepper and parmesean
1:05 pm
dcseain

parmagiano is heard to spell in English
1:06 pm
dcseain

hard to spell, even :)
1:08 pm
Judi

You could just say "grated cheese" and leave it to our imaginations.
1:09 pm
dcseain

ah, but there are 6 cheeses in the refrigerator, and i plan to use the parmagiano reggiano, as the manchego or the cheddar would taste wrong
1:09 pm
Judi

True, true.
1:10 pm
Gеогgе

ooh, that sounds good, Seain, I make a lot of soups like that and others, soup's my specialty!! don't eat everything raw, just most things, still love my soup in the colder weather!
1:11 pm
Gеогgе

well I wouldn't use cheese of course!
1:11 pm
Gеогgе

unless it's made with rice, soya or hemp milk
1:11 pm
dcseain

i may not do the cheese, we'll see how i'm feeling about it :)
1:11 pm
Gеогgе

putting any pasta in that soup, Seain?
1:11 pm
Gеогgе

minestrone's got some in usually
1:12 pm
Gеогgе

macaroni, penne, that sorta thing
1:12 pm
Gеогgе

maccaroni, yeah, when I can type!!
1:12 pm
dcseain

i've not yet, in part because i have no green beans, so it's not really a minestrone in my eyes
1:13 pm
Gеогgе

oh yeah, I see
1:13 pm
Gеогgе

just a nice vegetable soup then
1:13 pm
dcseain

i think the cat will miss the balcony when we move, as new place likely won't have that.
1:13 pm
dcseain

quite so, George
1:13 pm
dcseain

Minestrone was my inspiration for it, though
1:20 pm
Gеогgе

oh just got your email Seain, yeah, will see to that!
1:20 pm
Gеогgе

they look all right, only the first is a bit dark
1:20 pm

1:23 pm
dcseain

hah

Gеогgе

glad he has a sense of humour, we both laughed!!
1:23 pm
Gеогgе

oh your moving eh? where to??
1:24 pm
dcseain

moving to Arlington, Virginia, the county just across the river from Washington, DC.
1:25 pm
dcseain

it's a small county that operates more like a city, what in England is called a Unitary Authority, than a county.
1:26 pm
dcseain

ah, fi4dom
1:26 pm
Gеогgе

oh yeah, that's not far from where you are now?
1:26 pm
Gеогgе

nope, not far, about 16 miles ENE
1:27 pm

sad story min,i was lucky,i solved that problem by getting the wife a subscrip to babble;)
5:22 pm
Minveryork

My husband has no interest in Babble whatsoever. All he cares about is sports of which I have no interest.
5:24 pm
crosshair

i try to be patient with the wifes choices of games,as i am sure she bites her tongue with the games and stuff i do online as well.it all balances out in the end
5:24 pm
Minveryork

The great thing about his love of sports is that when he's watching sports,I can babble which is every nite
5:25 pm
crosshair

just order the special sports chanel for him then
5:25 pm
Minveryork

My babble time & his sports time balances out, right?
5:25 pm
crosshair

yup
5:25 pm
crosshair

yup
works for me
5:26 pm
Minveryork

As long as he gets Yankee station,he needs no other sports channels.He just watches baseball and football
5:27 pm
crosshair

your story got me down to 24 left;/
5:28 pm
Minveryork

Unfortunately the Yankees is only available on cable which is expensive.Yankees are not available on dish network which is cheaper.So I am paying double just for one channel. Another thing I am not happy about.
5:28 pm
Minveryork

Oh that's great crosshair! I am glad it helped you out
5:28 pm

I am here if you need help with the rest of the words

I have to say,I have thought about leaving hubby too
5:39 pm

our rough years were 4th,7th,10th,14th
5:39 pm

That's what marriage is, through good times and bad
5:40 pm
crosshair

7th was nasty
5:40 pm

its not sad minver...... its... i dont want to say relief...b/c not all times were bad...but...we dont fit...him leaving is right..albeit difficult..its right for us
5:41 pm

i am also sorry carlee,20 years...
5:41 pm

i have 2 great kids....

Hubby and I are polar opposites which makes it hard.
5:43 pm
Minveryork

That saying "opposites attract" does not apply to us.
5:44 pm
Minveryork

I still do love him deep inside, but it is just so difficult
5:44 pm
carleekat

like i said...no all bad...we just.....dont "work" well together...we are never a team...its like we fight eachother getting to our goals...rather then help and support....when we have been a team its me supporting him...but if the situation is ever reversed....he either does nothing to support..or fights me
5:45 pm
carleekat

we dont "fit"...ok...nuf of that rot...
5:45 pm
crosshair

wife and i have some opposites,but many things the same,we both love a good book,walks in the hills,sunset canoe rides,horses,muscle cars,feeding each other sinful foods in bed,we have danced in the rain..so it is more matches than not
5:45 pm
Minveryork

I think if you have a good relationship,then it should not be difficult. I do know that it takes two to make a relationship fail or succeed. So I am NOT perfect!
5:46 pm
carleekat

nor am I minver..and i share alot of the blame... he would say most...i say some
5:47 pm
Minveryork

It is always easier to put the blame on somebody else
5:47 pm

5:48 pm

So do I. I don't clean. For many years I didn't cook. I just started cooking. I do not like it, but do my part.

Even if she has an ex and some kids, it is okay. Many people move on after divorce and remarry and start another family. It just depends on your situation.

Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
7:25 pm
Bugsaw

Relax. Be gentle with yourself. You were sick
7:25 pm

I was not highly motivated to do anything but babble
7:27 pm
Bugsaw

perhaps take the day off but connect with them by phone so they will hear how sick you are but that you are still working on improving? Would that help>
7:27 pm
featherbee

stid, if it's any consolation, i usually feel terribly behind for all of september
7:28 pm
Minveryork

I just saw and read your profile Bugsaw. Very funny!
7:28 pm
Bugsaw

I am feeling a bit low today. I am not really happy with the philosophy of the school I am at and I am not challenged there by anything except the administration.
7:28 pm
Bugsaw

I liked looking foreward to going to work
7:28 pm
stidmama

already spoke yesterday with my professor on the phone. was coughing and hacking then, so she knew I was feeling awful. I just feel that this is an opportunity to get some feedback on my actual unit that I will begin teaching in a week.
7:29 pm
stidmama

I am so sorry to hear that bugs. hard to stay motivated when that is true.
7:29 pm
Bugsaw

Remember stid, they don't want sick people coming to school to infect those who are still well for some reason
7:29 pm
stidmama

thanks feather. It would be less of an issue if I didn't have all the grad school garbage on top of the teaching bits. I think I could do the teaching/parent contacts/lesson planning okay if I didn't also have to worry about papers and other deadlines.

perhaps something stronger than cider would help her pass out and sweat the sickness out while she sleeps.
7:34 pm
Bugsaw

I love fresh apple juice or fresh cider
7:34 pm
carleekat

( I think a 1.5L bottle will do the trick...no bugs..this HARD cider...)
7:35 pm

Goodbye Jillyjill! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!
10:22 pm
Nef

I really hope that helps fix your problem, Min. I don't think you have to download that wireless ass't. because it isn't on our HP (I went and looked for it after getting FW a few minutes ago
10:22 pm
NonnieLight

nef, that reminds me of something that happened a work recently. We have to write detailed reports on our residents for record keeping purposes. One of the staff use the word "emesis". The supervisor returned the form asking what it meant and because SHE was familiar with the word, made the staff change it to vomit.
10:23 pm
Minveryork

So what do I need to do to get my wireless working?I guess I should just be glad to get internet on the HP.
10:23 pm
Minveryork

Thanks for looking for me Nef. The information helps.
10:24 pm
NonnieLight

I meant because she "wasn't" familiar with the word...
10:24 pm
Nef

it should work as a wireless because you downloaded the broadband wireless LAN
10:25 pm
Nef

Wow, Nonnie! What type of person is this that she doesn't know that emesis is the correct term?

bye gwen, hey all. you're up late, min -- are you okay?
11:06 pm
stidmama

I decided to call in sick, on the advice of my many friends who are far wiser than I am... hence my presence here.
11:07 pm
stidmama

oh Nef, is DH having trouble?
11:07 pm
stidmama

sorry to hear that.
11:08 pm
Minveryork

I am trying to fix my stupid HP and it is NOT working!
11:09 pm
stidmama

oh oh Nef, not good. can I help?
11:09 pm
stidmama

I meant min. *sigh*
11:09 pm

brain and figners not completely aligned.
11:11 pm
Minveryork

Crosshair walked me through lotta steps earlier, but the end result did not fix the computer. So annoyed!
11:16 pm
stidmama

that's too bad. is it running too slow, or ... ?
11:17 pm
Minveryork

No, I can't get the internet to work on my HP laptop.
11:17 pm
Minveryork

Crosshair helped me download a driver, but still does not work. I'm back at square one again stidmama. :(
11:18 pm
Nef

snoozed off there a bit over on FB. Min, when it didn';t work did you download the wireless ass't?
11:19 pm
stidmama

oh. do you want me to ask my tom? he's a programmer professionally...
11:19 pm
Nef

YAY, stid; get Tom to help Min!
11:21 pm
stidmama

he'll log in and see what he can do. hold on.
11:21 pm
stidmama

it might be easier to have someone local do it though.
11:21 pm
Minveryork

Thank you stidmama, but I am giving up for now. It's so late and I need to goto bed. Maybe another time.
11:22 pm
Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow
11:22 pm
stidmama

that's okay min. maybe another time. hope the week will go well for you!
11:22 pm
stidmama

*stern mama look at buggery laptop*
11:22 pm
stidmama

tom says if you're still here, plug in the laptop to the cable for internet and have windows do the update....
11:22 pm
stidmama

worth a try tomorrow.
11:23 pm
Nef

Oh, and stid, DH has spastic legs when he goes to bed (this has gone on for many years; it isn't restless leg syndrome; it's the MS). So he goes to bed first, then once his legs settle down *I* can go to bed. I can't help it; but I do get cranky if his legs bother me
11:25 pm
stidmama

oh, I see. that's not a lot of fun for either of you. oh well, I guess that means you get some "me time" on a regular basis.
11:25 pm
stidmama

MS sux
11:27 pm
stidmama

I read in your profile that you finally got a good ramp put in -- is he pretty much in the chair all the time now?
11:27 pm
Nef

it does; but right now he's doing better; so we won't complain or get discouraged. So many diseases don't have the possible remissions that MS has
11:30 pm
Nef

Nope. Today he used the walker to go to church and to Costco. He overdid it; but he was feeling strong tiol about half way through Costco (and we only went there for fruits, veggies and the giant Tums size of antacids)
11:30 pm
Nef

Tomorrow will probably be a wheel chair day, though (for over-doing today)
11:32 pm
carleekat

hi all again
11:32 pm
stidmama

I am glad he felt well enough to overdo it! *stern mama look at Nef's DH* I hope he'll be a little less "tough" in the future though.
11:32 pm
stidmama

hey carlee -- can't sleep?
11:32 pm
Nef

hi carlee
11:33 pm
carleekat

how'd u guess stiddy
11:33 pm
stidmama

I called in sick... so decided to stay up until flip in the hope of actually sleeping the full night.
11:33 pm
carleekat

1 1/2 L of hard cider...a hot bath....
11:33 pm
carleekat

and warm soup with crackers
11:33 pm
stidmama

you can have some of my "pirate tea" (rum and orange juice)... I was coughing again, so tom made me some
11:33 pm
stidmama

I sip it all night long.
11:33 pm
stidmama

is that one AND a half? or just a HALF?
11:34 pm
jillibus

Helloo all
11:34 pm
stidmama

*concerned mama look* that hard cider can be brutal...
11:34 pm
carleekat

hey jilleroo!!! *bounce bounce bounce* I am sick! that's why I am still awake!!! I hope you're not sick. I hope you're feeling WONDERFUL. (hugs and choclits and nice vodka)
11:35 pm
carleekat

the last upper respiratory flu i had i took orange juice and mango juice..and mixed together and warmed up....was just....liquid vit c and felt soooo good
11:35 pm
stidmama

I'll sleep okay once the fever is knocked back and the coughing stops again.
11:35 pm
carleekat

hi jilli
11:35 pm
carleekat

i'll sleep again when... peace of mind prevails
11:36 pm
Nef

carlee, what's going on? You said the same thing last night......
11:36 pm
stidmama

carlee... I wish there were some way to help. *hums gentle lullaby* I can't even come over and sit with you. *sad mama look*
11:36 pm
jillibus

so sorry to hear you're sick again, stid!
11:37 pm
stidmama

me too, jill -- I am missing a day at student teaching. which is neither fun nor profitable.
11:37 pm
jillibus

I'm using the laptop so expect slowness and typos :(
11:38 pm
carleekat

well..in short.. there have been 2 teen suicides at my kids' school...
11:38 pm
stidmama

why slow and tyops, jill? just different keyboard? are you okay?
11:39 pm
carleekat

and...i unfortunatly came by some info regarding this situation...that a handful in my city know..its an ongoing police investigation...and what has happened is but a tip of the iceberg
11:39 pm
jillibus

also letting the battery run down -- was told it was a good idea -- do you agree?
11:39 pm
Nef

stid; 1 day missing student teaching due to illness is better than going and getting pneumonia AND half of the class ill too...
11:39 pm
jillibus

yes, just not used the the keyboard
11:39 pm
Nef

(((carlee)))
11:39 pm
stidmama

I got it from the kids... and unfortunately thought it was just a cold last thurs-fri so I DID go to school.
11:40 pm
carleekat

i wish i didnt know...
11:40 pm
stidmama

depends on the type of battery, but can be good once in a while. it sort of resets the amount of power it can hold I think.
11:40 pm
carleekat

i'd be able to sleep... now when i do sleep i get nightmares...and i never get nightmares
11:40 pm
stidmama

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.
11:40 pm
stidmama

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.
11:41 pm
jillibus

oh, awful, carlee!
should I let it go off completely or can I reconnect it when it's just low?
11:41 pm
Nef

carlee, do you know of the yellow ribbon org? http://www.yellowribbon.org/
11:41 pm
stidmama

Are you able to get inside your dreams and correct them? sometimes I can, and I replay the beginning and change the end.
11:41 pm
carleekat

yes...it is...
11:41 pm
carleekat

sometimes i can stiddy..but i am so sleep deprieved right now
11:42 pm
carleekat

yes..i know it nef....
11:42 pm
jillibus

Well, I was just told to plug in so I did :)
11:42 pm
stidmama

tom says that you should let it run pretty low, but it doesn't have to be completely dead.
11:42 pm
stidmama

LOL jill! the computer knows what it needs!
11:42 pm
jillibus

Thanks Tom! And how often should I do this?
11:42 pm
Nef

jilli, I don't think it matters with the new batteries these days. It isn't so necessary like in the past
11:43 pm
carleekat

the kids at the school are soooo... emotional on so many levels...the teachers are falling apart and crying whilst teaching...
11:43 pm
jillibus

And thanks, Nef -- this is very new.
11:43 pm
stidmama

okay, then I have something to do for you carlee. *puts on mama think hat* You will sleep better tonight. You will sleep deeply and well. And you will use the wisdom of the dreams to help you work out the puzzles.
11:44 pm
carleekat

have counsellors in the school...these 2 deaths occured withing 2 weeks of eachother..both boys..both athletic and popular and smart...and both killed themselves the same way
11:44 pm

Now I'm going to change my icon -- I hoope you all had a good look at this one, which I quite like.
11:44 pm

11:45 pm
Nef

how big or small is your school, carlee? My dtr. had 3 classmates commit suicides the last 2 years of HS; but there were 500+ in her class
11:45 pm
stidmama

The dreams are working out something important for you, and when your brain figures it out, you will sleep better.
11:45 pm
stidmama

Jill, tom says let it run down to about 15-20% percent every so often.
11:45 pm
stidmama

hey cos
11:46 pm
carleekat

hi cos... the school is about 1100 total
11:47 pm

my town is fairly well connected...all the kids from all the schools all know eachother or are familiar with eachother as houseleague sports are really popular here...( houseleague being city wide )
11:48 pm
Nef

back with our first computer (and first cell phone and first electric screw driver, LOL!) we were to run the batteries fully down in order to extend the battery life since keeping them plugged in all the time shortened their battery lives.
11:48 pm
carleekat

its the shok that both so close together....they havent had time to get over the death of one classmate and a second has died
11:49 pm
stidmama

that's not true nowadays, fortunately, but I still try to run the battery down once in a while.
11:49 pm
carleekat

i do too stiddy..my cell phone i always run it down..mind is more then 3 years old now
11:49 pm
stidmama

It was hard when we were kids and classmates died. Never easy, no matter what the cause.
11:49 pm
carleekat

so that is old style battery
11:49 pm
Nef

Aww, carlee. I wish I had some answers for you. Just listen to your heart and don't keep secrets if they may be part of the problem.
11:50 pm
carleekat

nope..not part of problem nef...i just..cant sleep..too much on my mind..in a few weeks...sleep will return
11:50 pm
stidmama

I am getting so tired, and my cough is going away. maybe i can try to sleep in the bed tonight instead of propped up on the so4
11:51 pm
carleekat

sleep well stiddy.....does this mean u wont make 10 more mins to the flip?
11:51 pm
stidmama

carlee -- chamomile tea?
11:51 pm

carlee, I've forgotten where in Canada you are...
11:51 pm
carleekat

u mean camel pile tea?
11:51 pm
Nef

It's not so important to do that (running them totally down) any more. I was told not to keep things plugged in all the time and not to let them run totally out either
11:51 pm
stidmama

I'll try to make it to flip... *yawn*

teens will often have "copy-cat" suicides when this happens. It's really imporetant for the whole community to mobilize and come together to support the teens and also all of the families.
