joshuavorbis

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

1:12 am

gortmold

josh are you a lexicographer or do you own superior monkeys?

1:12 am

jillibus

thanks for the list, dee, but I'm not seeing anything so will head for bed -- g'night all.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

nite

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Here are the instructions ARB gave us for putting list in excel (ty arb):

1:13 am

Christine

sleep well, Jillibus

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Instructions from ARB for putting babble grid results into profile:

â€¢ Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
â€¢ Then insert a column after the word.
â€¢ Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
â€¢ Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
â€¢ Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

1:13 am

jillibus

josh, I understand your purpose of the numbers

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

have a great day / eve all! *poofing with hugs*

1:14 am

jillibus

I don't have Excel, but it doesn't matter, I don't ever get fireworks that way.

1:14 am

joshuavorbis

gort- i'm not really that special, there are others faster than me. i'm just deliberate and occasionally remember common weirdos very quickly

1:14 am

ARB

I'm a guru!

1:14 am

jillibus

G'night and *poof*

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

you are great arb!!! I have used your instructions many times now!!! Greatly appreciated!

1:14 am

ARB

Just a computer professional, that's all

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

good to know if I ever have other questions...:~)

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

I used to be a computer whiz... til I quit... have lost skills unfortunately, especially on the new office...

1:16 am

ARB

Sure

1:16 am

gortmold

hmmmm....digesting josh's modesty and arb's instructions and coming up with a sticky, gooey, wordy concoction

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

I hate the new Word... hate where functions are on the ribbons... illogical to me

1:17 am

ARB

I'm retired too, but I do a lot of volunteer work using my computer skills to help NGO's I support -- give them much more than I could with money donations.

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

super nice, and I am sure extremely appreciated!

1:18 am

ARB

I don't like the new Word/Excel either, but I guess we'll get used to it in time.

1:18 am

jhb

It's a great gift time. And now we have more to spare than when we were working full time.

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

I honestly don't think so, and I think eventually they will change some of it back to way it was... too many workers complaining

1:19 am

Christine

Hello, again, how was dinner?

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

slows speed immensely... well I am *poofing* for sure

1:19 am

jhb

Good thanks. Only an omelette tonight. But very good nonetheless. What about you?

1:19 am

Christine

Sleep well.

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

ty

1:20 am

jhb

Christine - how many words please?

1:20 am

ARB

Sometimes volunteer time is more time-consuming than working full time!

1:20 am

Christine

Steak, fries & steamed veg. Then, for a snack, I just ate the salad with the rest of the steak.

1:20 am

jhb

I certainly have found that ARB.

1:20 am

Christine

128 words

1:20 am

jhb

OMG!

1:20 am

ARB

Bye everyone. SHalom.

1:21 am

jhb

Bye ARB. Nice to meet you.

1:21 am

Christine

Sleep well, ARB

1:21 am

ARB

No sleeping here -- it's 8 a.m! Time to do some of that volunteering.

1:22 am

Christine

Volunteer well, ARB

1:42 am

Christine

OMGosh, I killed the chat, yet again.

2:21 am

FMitch

Im going into hibernation mode as the days shorten.

2:21 am

flosey

I find late night so peaceful!

2:23 am

FMitch

True, few interruptions and time to do what you want (inc babble of course).

2:23 am

Christine

I just slunk in, to sign off before the torchbearing mob came in, demanding yje name of She-Who-Killed-Our-Chog (yet again).

2:24 am

FMitch

awe Christine it wasn't your fault!

2:24 am

flosey

never fear Christine, sleep well

2:25 am

FMitch

Babble was being buggy - I had to come in and go out several times as it was taking about 10 secs to enter each word but it seems to be OK now.

2:25 am

Christine

Well, now that y'all are here, have a good day. I probably will be back after a cup of tea and a while with my book.

2:26 am

flosey

down to 23 words, will have to find them tomorrow

2:26 am

flosey

goodnight all

2:26 am

FMitch

OK TTFN Christine and sweet dreams flosey.

2:26 am

Christine

Iguess there's no Lickety-list, but ValleyMomDee has the stats in her profile.

2:26 am

Christine

sleep well, Flosey.

2:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

2:30 am

FMitch

Greetings Haz.

2:31 am

Haz1558

It looks like the letter t is trying for world domination.

2:31 am

FMitch

I've been out de-icing the bird bath this morning v v heavy frost overnight!

2:32 am

FMitch

One can get quite tangled in the t's today.

2:32 am

Haz1558

Oh really? It's a bit damp here although there were clear skies at bedtime and cold enough for breath to condense.

2:34 am

FMitch

Yup, but the sun is shining so will not complain.

2:35 am

Haz1558

I changed over my summer wardrobe for the winter one yesterday - I could hold out no longer.

2:36 am

FMitch

lol don't blame you - I have gone for the layered look today.

2:37 am

Haz1558

It's always a bit of a surprise when I open up the storage bag with jumpers etc because I usually forget what I have.

2:39 am

FMitch

I have that pleasure yet to come - my reaction is usually I am fed up with that and that and that and get the bags ready for the charity shop.

2:41 am

Haz1558

I wonder if the charity shops have really busy times right about when people are changing over their clothes?

2:42 am

FMitch

I think they do and some can be really picky if you are trying to get rid of winter things in summer and visa versa.

2:44 am

Haz1558

They'll turn away anything tha's not Versace or a dry cleaning label stuck on?

2:46 am

FMitch

The worst put down I had was when I took a designer coat to a shop that sells on your behalf and was told that they only take clothing that is less than 2 years old.

2:46 am

Haz1558

* or has a dry cleaning label..

2:47 am

Haz1558

Less than 2 years old? Remind me not to attempt to take stuff to that shop!

2:47 am

FMitch

I know! but this was in Ascot.

2:48 am

FMitch

Obviously I was not up market enough.

2:48 am

Haz1558

Ah well, that explains things. Ascot is a law unto itself.

2:49 am

FMitch

HAve you found the 10 yet - a great word.

2:49 am

Haz1558

No, I'm building up to it, found a couple of 8s.

2:50 am

FMitch

okey dokey :) Am going to put the kettle on so back in a few.

2:50 am

Haz1558

See uou shortly.

2:59 am

FMitch

... and back.

3:00 am

Haz1558

That was fast!

3:00 am

FMitch

It is a fast kettle :)

3:02 am

Haz1558

Did you watch 'The Apprentice' last night?

3:03 am

FMitch

'fraid not. You will have to find Ata to discuss the pros and cons with.

3:04 am

Karys

Hello both.... I did Haz.

3:04 am

Haz1558

The funniest bit was when a loudly confident woman spent ages on her calculator and then informed a hotel that they would charge them Â£1.82 for a bread roll!

3:05 am

Karys

death

3:05 am

FMitch

I have not been enamoured with the last few series, it has lost it's lustre for me.

Morning Karys!

3:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Karys, nice to see you!

3:05 am

Karys

That must be the white blonde ?

3:05 am

Haz1558

The very one, Karys.

3:06 am

FMitch

How nice to see smiley cat again!

3:06 am

Karys

I havn't watched it before. She seemed to get through by default !

3:06 am

FMitch

Bet that went down well Haz

3:06 am

Haz1558

It takes a while every series to get to know the individuals, I'm still trying to fit faces to names. The blonde one is Melissa and she's been loud throughout.

3:07 am

Karys

Thank you Mitch... I am usually hrtr , lurking.

3:07 am

Haz1558

There was such an expression of disbelief on the faces of the hotel people but she didn't even seem to catch on that it was a ludicrous price.

3:07 am

Karys

OOps... now we can see why I usually lurk !

3:08 am

FMitch

LOL was just working out that hrtr = here.

3:08 am

Karys

She was one of those people who ride on the backs of others , I think.

3:08 am

Haz1558

Oh, listen, FM got over those fears a long time ago, she just merrily typos on and we're very forgiving.

3:09 am

Karys

Yes but I am a bit pedantic about myself.

3:09 am

FMitch

Forgiving yes but let me forget .... Nooooo!

3:09 am

Haz1558

I would agree, Karys, she's full of her own importance but if it hadn't been for the efficiency of the bakery production team, she'd have fallen flat on her face.

3:10 am

Karys

But back to the blonde, I was so disappointed that she didn't get her cuome uppance !

3:10 am

Haz1558

But the typos are entertainment value around here, FM.

3:10 am

Haz1558

I know, I was sure the way things were going that it was going to be a disaster for her, but no. Hopefully she'll have learned a bit of humility but I doubt it.

3:11 am

Karys

In my defence for the typos, I am trying to eat my first bowl of porridge of the season.

3:11 am

FMitch

true true Haz and I am so glad to have brought so much entertainment to babble land over the years :)

3:11 am

Haz1558

We should maybe write to the PM to suggest FM gets an MBE for services to babble entertainment. What do you think, Karys?

3:12 am

FMitch

It is definiately porridge weather today.

3:12 am

Karys

She certainly keeps me amused !

3:12 am

Haz1558

MBE = Mistress of Babble Entertainment.

3:12 am

FMitch

LOL!

3:13 am

Haz1558

I can just here it now 'Step forward Cinders Ermintrude - MBE'

3:13 am

Haz1558

*hear

3:13 am

Karys

That just fits the bill nicely !

3:14 am

FMitch

Haz! good grief - typoism is obviously catching - you need to get a booster shot!

3:14 am

Haz1558

Isn't it shocking? I'm obviously feeling the need of some sort of tonic to get me sorted out.

3:15 am

lynxxx

mothers ruin and tonic - I never would have believed it of you Haz

3:15 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:16 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx

3:16 am

Haz1558

I'm horribly ashamed, lynxxx. The funny noise you hear is me wailing in the corner.

3:16 am

Karys

Must catch the milkman... bbl !

3:16 am

Haz1558

See you shortly, karys, don't forget to come back!

3:17 am

FMitch

*Has a mental image of Karys chasing the milkman with a huge butterfly net*

3:17 am

Haz1558

So, lynxxx, how are you? Any news on the job front?

3:17 am

lynxxx

do you still have milkman in the UK?

3:17 am

Haz1558

Oh yes. Pints delivered to the doorstep, sadly no longer in glass bottles.

3:18 am

Haz1558

Mine comes every other day, it used to be daily.

3:18 am

FMitch

Aparently we do but I haven't seen one for years.

3:18 am

Monsieur D

heya all,, wink to anne38

3:18 am

lynxxx

I am well. No news on the job "still considering". However we did buy a sofa from there yesterday. I think I am recovering today with pangs of "did I do the right thing"

3:19 am

lynxxx

hi Monsieur D

3:19 am

Haz1558

Has the sofa been delivered yet? You'll probably feel fine once it's in situ.

3:20 am

lynxxx

Are you in Australia Mons D or a relative from the old country?

3:20 am

Monsieur D

nop, i'm frenchy

3:20 am

Karys

Back... we went to Ikea last week for a picture frame and came back with a sofa ! ( well it has to be delivered really )

3:21 am

lynxxx

Yes, I am sure it will be fine Haz - now just need to paint, carpet, get done reupholsterof armchairs and ottomans ! Are you free?

3:21 am

Haz1558

That's what I call impulse shopping, Karys.

3:22 am

lynxxx

Delivered and put together if from Ikea - have fun!

3:22 am

Karys

Not normally a thing husband would do, so it must be good !

3:22 am

Haz1558

I'm your woman when it comes to picking out stuff, lynxx, I'll paper for you but you'd thank me not to pick up a paintbrush!

3:23 am

FMitch

I'll do the painting then.

3:23 am

Karys

Thanks lynxxx !

3:24 am

FMitch

B taught me well.

3:24 am

Atalante

hellooo from me and a Hobbit flopped across my lap

3:24 am

lynxxx

Hello Ata!

3:24 am

FMitch

yay Ata! and Hobbit :)

3:25 am

lynxxx

Sorry - have to disappear for a bit to discuss dinner

3:25 am

Haz1558

Here are more revelations. Yesterday, FM revealed herself to have had lumberjack ambitions, today she's a painter. The secrets keep tumbling out!

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ata! How are you?

3:25 am

Atalante

someone won't leave me alone ...

3:25 am

Karys

Hello Ata

3:26 am

Haz1558

Ata, look - Karys' smiley cat is here. Karys as well, of course.

3:26 am

FMitch

I have many hidden talents Haz.

3:26 am

Atalante

hi smily cat!

3:26 am

Karys

oooo, the mind boggles mitch !

3:26 am

Haz1558

I know, no wonder you're in line for that MBE, FM.

3:27 am

FMitch

*grin*

3:28 am

Haz1558

Now, let's see if Ata watched The Apprentice... if Hobbit will give her peace.

3:28 am

Atalante

i did i did!!!

3:29 am

Haz1558

And? Melissa was quite something, wasn't she?

3:29 am

FMitch

I knoew she would have watched.

3:29 am

Atalante

she was ... and delivering 16 roll ...and glace cherry muffins

3:29 am

Atalante

excuse typung hard with dog snout helping

3:30 am

FMitch

better dog snout than 1 vowel less

3:30 am

Haz1558

I thought it was hilarious when she tried to tell the man that the cherry muffins looked good. And Â£1.82 for a roll. Why didn't her brain stop her mouth saying a figure like that?

3:31 am

Atalante

i *know*. lmao. shes lucky her team won

3:31 am

FMitch

pass Hobbity over here for a while so I can cuddle her and you and Haz can talk 'Apprentice'

3:31 am

rubyfoo

gd morning everybody

3:31 am

rubyfoo

all is calm around here again.

3:31 am

Atalante

the cherry muffins looked awful

3:31 am

lynxxx

3:32 am

FMitch

Morning ruby.

3:32 am

Karys

Good morning ruby

3:32 am

Atalante

hi ruby

3:32 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor FM. We'll have to talk later, Ata, the others won't know what we're on about.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Washing machine on its way?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

is monsieur d really French?

3:33 am

FMitch

Noooo I was looking for an excuse to cuddle Hobbit not stop you talking about the prog!

3:33 am

Atalante

i might have persuaded hobbit that she can guard me just as well from a metre away rather than on top of me!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

husband agreed this AM AND I think that Max had an insect in his ear as he seems OK today. Panic for nothing, but out dogs are like children, at least for us old ladies with empty nests!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

how is your knee, Ata?

3:34 am

Haz1558

Hooray! I knew he'd have to give in in the end.

3:35 am

rubyfoo

I'll buy the new machine tomorrow and will try to negotiate some of the repair costs, as it is the same store and their repairman....in French of course. Maybe Monsieur D could help me.... hahah

3:35 am

Atalante

i dont have an empty nest i have a spaniel filled nest!

3:35 am

Atalante

it has a dog flopped over it keeping it warm

3:35 am

rubyfoo

it is lovely to have a dog care for you like that!

3:36 am

Haz1558

You should definitely get something off the new machine, ruby.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I agree, after all, it was their repairman who said "Oh, it's just a part!"

3:38 am

Haz1558

That Yiddish/Eastern European village is here again after a long absence(sh6)

3:38 am

rubyfoo

"Sunrise, sunset...."

3:38 am

FMitch

and that sh6 wore my monkeys out.

3:38 am

FMitch

But they have done a great job and I am done.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

no jewish monkeys

3:39 am

Haz1558

I remember trying to clue it to Flask using the Tea-folk as a reference point... I haven't seen Flask for ages.

3:39 am

Haz1558

sh plus infamous Vietnamese offensive, end up with a consonant.

3:40 am

That's right, blame an innocent dog...

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I spoke with his MD and he came on Tuesday and prescribed a steroid for his back plus a stronger pain killer, and it seems to be helping

3:41 am

Christine

I thought he had hiccups.

3:41 am

Atalante

she leant on the enter key!

3:41 am

FMitch

yeah right!

3:41 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, I'm glad he'll have some relief.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

that is too cute. If Ruby or Max sat at the keyboard, it would disappear

3:41 am

FMitch

Hi Christine.

3:42 am

Atalante

she really did!!

3:42 am

FMitch

you will be blaming Sily next ;)

3:42 am

Christine

Hellooo again.

3:42 am

Atalante

3:42 am

Haz1558

Hello, Christine.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

thank you for asking, Christine

3:43 am

FMitch

Nesting on the boiler is a good place to be today.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it in the UK? We are very close to frost here, but not quite

3:44 am

rubyfoo

snow on the mountains, though

3:44 am

Atalante

she doesnt really fit .... let me find a pic

3:44 am

FMitch

well below zero first thing this morning ruby.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

3:49 am

3:50 am

Atalante

3:51 am

sprite

3:51 am

rubyfoo

3:52 am

Atalante

getting there!

3:52 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite

3:52 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

3:52 am

sprite

lol well they might... and it might be hanging over some edge or other. But was just kidding.

3:53 am

sprite

good! Very glad. You aren't a person to be limited in her walking abilities, Ata. *evil grin*

3:53 am

rubyfoo

any clue for the 10 or even for an 8?

3:54 am

sprite

lol I have one 7. Nothing bigger yet.

3:54 am

rubyfoo

me, too, one 7

3:54 am

Haz1558

ta8 - the sort of clothes you wouldn't even donate to a charity shop.

3:56 am

sprite

thanks Haz *thinking*

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hmm, have several 6's and 7's with ta, but will have to monkey the 8 (looking for Jewish monkeys from the sh6)

3:56 am

FMitch

LOL re sily Ata and good morning spritey sprite :)

3:56 am

Atalante

though some people would ...

3:56 am

Haz1558

Superlatively unfit for wearing to a ball?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

yay, thank you, haz

3:57 am

sprite

brilliant, thanks. Hadn't noticed that ending yet.

Hi FM and lyn :D

3:57 am

Atalante

sprite, you seen that atlatl is a phantom?

3:57 am

Haz1558

I know, Ata, but honestly, if you're not prepared to wear something because it's a mess, why would you expect other people to buy it?

3:57 am

rubyfoo

great ending!

3:57 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, sprite and ruby.

3:57 am

FMitch

I thought potatoes for the ta6/18 so does that mean the 8/40 is the best potatoes?

3:58 am

sprite

don't you hate it when that happens, Ata!

3:58 am

Atalante

oh yes .... its just ridiculous what people expect charity shops to sort through

3:58 am

Haz1558

And not that I'm one to gossip, but the biggest word starts the same way.

3:58 am

FMitch

oh you finally found it Haz ? :)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

thank you, thank you, haz!!!!

3:59 am

Atalante

i thought that was 2 words ..!

3:59 am

Haz1558

I did! A nice word, as you said, FM.

4:00 am

FMitch

yay

4:00 am

sprite

4:00 am

rubyfoo

4:00 am

Atalante

4:00 am

FMitch

lol ruby

4:01 am

4:02 am

Haz1558

la8/45 - a superlatively indolent lisper.

4:02 am

Atalante

lol fab

4:02 am

FMitch

Just trying to imagine a conversation between Spangle and Hobbit and what they would say about their 'mums'

4:02 am

rubyfoo

hahah hath!

Atalante

they wouls say we are wonderful and perfect!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Spangle has signed a no secrets policy.

4:03 am

Haz1558

We induced her pawprint with the promise of daily food.

4:03 am

Atalante

silverclaw might be a different matter

4:03 am

sprite

"You mean you get REAL food? Every day? That is amazing!"
"Yeah, but your mum actually takes you for long walks."

4:04 am

FMitch

Ata made a typo! Ata made a typo. I am clutching at straws here if you hadn't guessed :)

4:04 am

Haz1558

We had to insist on the no secrets policy because of George spending so much time here.

4:05 am

Atalante

already apologised for all typos today!

4:05 am

sprite

That would still be George C and not B. George, right?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I just found an at8 on my own *chuffed*

4:06 am

Haz1558

You can blame the anaesthetic, Ata. And it takes a while for brain cells to regenerate after you've donated.

4:06 am

Haz1558

George C is correct.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

he came for cofee? everybody's dream......

4:06 am

sprite

yay, take a le4 from Ata's book on smugness and be smug, rubyfoo

4:07 am

rubyfoo

doesn't happen often, that's for sure

4:07 am

Atalante

still dog nose "helping"

4:07 am

Haz1558

Coffee? He lives in a cupboard under my staircase, ruby. This is his refuge from stress and the paparazzi.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I would give him the guest room, would even turn the heat on

4:08 am

sprite

Haz offers him a haven of peace.

4:08 am

FMitch

You should see Haz's "cupboard" under the stairs - most of us would kill for such an apartment!

4:08 am

sprite

See? All that fuss is what he wants to be away from... so very few people understand that. He is lucky to have you, Haz.

4:09 am

Haz1558

He is. Peace and quiet is all he needs.

4:09 am

FMitch

and whist at it, can I remind everyone that I lent GC to Haz in the first place.

4:09 am

sprite

I heard he left running.

4:10 am

FMitch

!

4:10 am

sprite

don't know why, though :)

4:10 am

Haz1558

No, he said he was very well treated, but Ascot was just too close to London for comfort.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

yay, half!

4:11 am

sprite

gratz

4:11 am

FMitch

lol

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I have to make lunch for husband because I'm going to a religious movie with a neighbor who I think is trying to convert me.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

she means well and has been wonderful in helping me with the "dog affair"

4:12 am

sprite

always a pleasure, rubyfoo. Have fun.

4:12 am

FMitch

Bye ruby.

4:12 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a break as well. Back later. Toodle-oo!

4:15 am

FMitch

Toodles Haz.

4:15 am

sprite

don't break too much, Haz, bfn

4:17 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:18 am

Atalante

bye dear!

4:22 am

Atalante

finally managed to persuade hobbit that she can guard me from by my legs. much easier!

4:23 am

sprite

awwwwww the sweetheart.

4:25 am

sprite

how long have you been away?

4:26 am

Atalante

a day!!!

4:26 am

sprite

lol! She is very protective of you then. Somehow she knows they hurt you.

4:27 am

Atalante

yes, she really is

4:28 am

sprite

aren't animals amazing. Am still so happy with your dog advice.

4:28 am

Atalante

:):)

4:29 am

sprite

we are going to that TTouch workshop now, every saturday. Terra is the only 'normal' dog there, all the others are totally neurotic. Because their owners are. The lady that teaches says she is so happy with Terra there. That most people wait until something has become a real problem before they start looking outside the box.

4:30 am

Atalante

awwwwwww wonderful :)

4:30 am

sprite

it really is. He is such a happy dog. Makes me smile no matter what.

4:30 am

Atalante

and that is the wonder of having a dog :)

4:31 am

Atalante

spaniels are the best happy dogs (I think)

4:31 am

lynxxx

scottish terriers are very happy dogs too

4:32 am

sprite

oh... we taught him to let go of things he shouldn't eat or damage by giving him a command, taking the thing and exchanging it for a treat.
And now, when he wants a treat, he actually goes looking for something he is not supposed to have, then brings it to me, sits down and starts chewing it, looking expectantly to me.

4:32 am

lynxxx

sorry, back and forward, lots happening here

4:32 am

sprite

I hope good things, lyn. And yes, I like scottish terriers. Terriers are a bit more headstrong, I think.

4:33 am

Atalante

spaniels smile though :)

4:33 am

lynxxx

smart Terra! too smart perhaps!

4:33 am

sprite

smart, isn't it!

4:34 am

sprite

yes they smile. It is the most wonderful thing.

4:37 am

sprite

as a child, I had an Airedale terrier at home. A cute dog. But as stubborn as a cat.

4:37 am

4:39 am

lynxxx

hi Ouwachita & Lile

4:40 am

4:40 am

4:40 am

Atalante

wow .... what a journey for that house!

4:40 am

Atalante

4:47 am

sprite

4:48 am

Atalante

4:49 am

sprite

Morning/Evening All. I wonder if there's a list somewhere?

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Babble buddies!

5:51 am

Jayk

Scrabs! Haven't seen you for a long time

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Life is busy. I worked and was on-call from last Th-Mon morning so I was stressed.

5:52 am

Jayk

maybe i've just been getting up way too early and missed you

5:53 am

herinfernallady

HI

5:54 am

Jayk

must go hunt for list. stuck with 25

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Jay, did I ever tell you that I was born at Emory Hospital?

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi herin

5:55 am

Jayk

Really? And you left the glorious state of Georgia, 49th out of 50th in every conceivable measure of well-being.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Anybody want tea? I am going to the kitchen to make more.

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Hello back. I am going to finish this then bed

5:56 am

Jayk

herin, do you know if there's a list somewhere?

5:58 am

Scrabbler

I do not recall my life in Atlanta but my mother longs for it. I tell her that the Atlanta metropolis is far different now than in the early '60's.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Volleymomdee has a list. Or is she Volleydeemom?

5:59 am

Jayk

It definitely is.

5:59 am

Jayk

Oh good

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Do you know that I just now saw le4 across the top row? I must be gaining consciousness.

5:59 am

herinfernallady

There is no list? Yeks. I will ahve to look at Volleys

6:04 am

Jayk

Me too Scrabs. After coffee, there it was!

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it so silly to miss words arranged so obviously?

6:06 am

bichon

How do I find Volley on the rankings page?

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Check the "Who's Online" tab.

6:06 am

Jayk

Hit Edit, Find, and type in Volley

6:07 am

bichon

ty JayK

6:10 am

bichon

I just noticed that there's a 10 letter word in here

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Whoa!

6:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, All :-)

6:24 am

FMitch

Hi zooz, how are you getting on?

6:25 am

zoozzoom

Not bad today thanks, FM, nice to see you, how are you keeping yourself?

6:25 am

FMitch

Keeping warm is the order of the day and all is well :)

6:26 am

zoozzoom

Yes, i agree ; been getting much colder :-(

6:27 am

FMitch

Had the first frost last night, bird bath was frozen, didn't realise until I got some nasty looks from the sparrows.

6:28 am

FMitch

so I boiled the kettle and melted it - I think they enjoyed the 'spa' bath after that :)

6:28 am

bichon

We still haven't had a frost in CT [at least in cntral CT] and it doesn't look like we will be having one for quite a while. Strange

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Tapping there little claws on the frozen water, looking at you to say what the hell is this..lol

6:29 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Bichon, lucky you :-)

6:29 am

FMitch

lol exactly zooz.
Lucky you bichon!

6:29 am

bichon

I don't know if this is luck or global warming. We usually have one by now. And, haven't had to turn on the heat yet

6:30 am

zoozzoom

I always put seeds out in a seed container for the small birds, does not last long.

6:30 am

bichon

does anyone have the t in the bottom row?

6:31 am

FMitch

I feed the birds everyday all year round.

6:31 am

FMitch

HAving started I couldn't stop during the summer and now that winter is on its way they need all the help they can get.

6:31 am

bichon

I do too FMitch. But they come and go

6:32 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, bichon, i have just started, so alas i do not have it yet.

6:33 am

zoozzoom

I love putting lots of cake crumbs out for the birds, i get hundreds of birds then, they cannot get enough of it.

6:33 am

FMitch

That bottom t is the 10. I could be called a gossip if I told you that.

6:34 am

FMitch

put whole cakes out and you will get 'birds' flocking round you too *grin*

6:35 am

zoozzoom

LOL, true , FM :-)

6:35 am

zoozzoom

thanks for the t10 *looking*

6:35 am

FMitch

esp with cream and chocolate!

6:38 am

zoozzoom

ahh ha, got the ta 10, thanks, FM!

6:38 am

FMitch

yay!

6:39 am

zoozzoom

nice to see all those `T`s used in one go..lol

6:39 am

herinfernallady

Opps I went off again

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Herin :-)

6:40 am

FMitch

yes, you feel like you get your moneys worth out of them with that word.

6:40 am

FMitch

Hi herin.

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Sorry I was looking at a puppy farmer :(

6:42 am

FMitch

HAve you found the la8/45 - Haz came up with the best clue earlier.

6:43 am

FMitch

I can re- post if if wanted?

6:43 am

herinfernallady

Please do

6:43 am

FMitch

la8/45 - a superlatively indolent lisper.

6:45 am

zoozzoom

Ohh, i got it!!, thank -you :-)

6:45 am

FMitch

Time for lunch - back in a while.

6:45 am

zoozzoom

i did smile when i found the sh7/44 to do with poo

6:46 am

FMitch

lol and TTFN zooz :)

6:46 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy you meal, FM, many thanks for the clues.

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Later FM

6:49 am

herinfernallady

I have the perfect answer to my finishing my course

6:50 am

zoozzoom

which is?

6:51 am

herinfernallady

Not get arrested if i go on a puppy farm raid

6:52 am

zoozzoom

Farm raid, arrested?? what you got arrested Herin?

6:52 am

zoozzoom

oh sorry, you said `IF` should read it .

6:53 am

zoozzoom

what course is this you went on then, Herin?

6:55 am

herinfernallady

No but I have no fear in doing it as the creeps that run these places don't want to be exposed. I am doing a legal secretary course.

6:56 am

zoozzoom

Oh, i see, yes there can be some very nasty people dealing in puppies, with only money there main goal, no concern for the welfare of the puppies at all.

6:57 am

herinfernallady

I like how they say ''but we are reputable'' you buy a dog from them and something happens to you you can't return the dog to them. All reputable breeders do this

6:58 am

herinfernallady

I was talking to a lady that breed these rare dogs in AUstralia and she had a return policy if the owner got sick or died.

6:59 am

zoozzoom

Would of thought that should be the norm, i am well out of the loop on these matters, but would of thought it common-sense.

7:00 am

herinfernallady

It is but these aren't nice people

7:00 am

zoozzoom

makes me sad, when i see the advert every christmas, warning people that `Dogs are for life, not just for christmas`

7:02 am

zoozzoom

What is the penalty like where you are, Herin, if some-one is found of neglect to an animal?, here i feel it is not much, a fine mostly. Unless it is really bad, then they might be banned for a while of keeping animals.

7:04 am

herinfernallady

It is fairly crap

7:06 am

carleekat

deat h

7:06 am

zoozzoom

got that one, Hello, Carlee :-)

7:07 am

carleekat

7:11 am

MollyL

List for today is in VolleyballMomDee's profile.

7:11 am

zoozzoom

have not listed yet, Carlee.

7:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, MollyL

7:11 am

carleekat

lickety does not even play zooz..his program is completely voluntary on his part..

7:12 am

zoozzoom

i have 6 more to find.

7:12 am

MollyL

Oops, VolleyMomDee. Sorry. Morning all.

7:12 am

zoozzoom

yes i know, it is very good of him to do this for us.

7:12 am

carleekat

oh i run lickety's beta program so the list comes up...but i slide it over until i am ready...thing is the screen goes red or green depending on if in list

7:13 am

zoozzoom

lol, did not even notice the mistake, Molly.

7:13 am

herinfernallady

Lickety could be out or the daylight savings screwed the program

7:13 am

carleekat

sorry i meant gator..i knew u knew zooz...no coffee..bleary eyed yet

7:13 am

zoozzoom

beta program?, not expert then?

7:13 am

carleekat

yes..his expert zooz...but is a beta

7:14 am

zoozzoom

oh i see, i did have expert on my old computer, but not on my laptop.

7:15 am

zoozzoom

Can`t wait for the new Babble!

7:15 am

MollyL

Rats. If two tiles were shifted, "shithead" would be in the grid.

7:15 am

herinfernallady

Sad my neighbour told me today that his boxer pup may have to be put to sleep soon :(

7:15 am

carleekat

i like having lickety's program tho...

7:15 am

zoozzoom

there is one, sh7/36, which is very close to that Molly..lol

7:16 am

zoozzoom

why is this, Herin?

7:16 am

MollyL

Yeah, I got that one Zooz. That's what made me realize the "possible" word.

7:17 am

herinfernallady

Dog has a tumor in his nose and when he stops the medication it makes it really hard for him to breath. If they keep him on the medication it is bad for him so I think they are trying to have an on off system

7:17 am

carleekat

gone looking for other sh**ty word...i never see phantoms so the tile flipping concept is lost on me

7:17 am

zoozzoom

poor little fella, what a thing to have , so young.

7:18 am

zoozzoom

sh7/36 past tense of having a poo

7:18 am

carleekat

it is sad...i had a 3 year old cat get cancer... :( from her immunizations...blunt force trauma to the bone

7:19 am

herinfernallady

He is about 10

7:19 am

carleekat

we had her amputated since she was so young

7:19 am

carleekat

her leg*

7:20 am

zoozzoom

one of my, guniea pigs died recently...just layed on the floor, and would not move...took her to the vets & he said there was nothing he could do for her, something about an inbalance of bacteria in the gut.

7:21 am

zoozzoom

sad to hear, Carlee :-(

7:22 am

FMitch

FYI - when licketys list throws up an extra word (as it did yesterday) until he manually adjusts for that and reruns the program the list will not automatically generate.

7:22 am

carleekat

she was a fun cat...very unique... she lasted another 3 years..the cancer spread to her lungs...

7:22 am

carleekat

hi fm

7:34 am

Nancy Boy

It's just horrible to come into the chat log and see things like that. You accuse him of all these bogus, incredible things - take a look at yourselves. I think it's disgusting how you continue to treat and talk about him.

7:34 am

Trifioso

nancy, you only have heard one side of the story. and all i said was he was back in the chog, and it took a lot of guts for him to come back.

7:36 am

Trifioso

and I don't want to have any bad blood between you and I! You are one of my absolute favorite babblers, and I would like to keep things friendly

7:37 am

Angelsong

carlee, I have been so disappointed this week at how the nonsense doesnt stop, just because the hammer went down. he was told he had 7 days to transfer some money over to me, that my lawyer and I both believed was in a cash account, which I DESPERATELY need, and now, all of a sudden, he has revealed that it is all in stocks, and i will have to pay 35% taxes on the money if I want it in cash, and oops, didn't he mention that?

7:51 am

7:52 am

Trifioso

I guess I was stupid to think the crap would end....

7:53 am

carleekat

7:53 am

carleekat

7:53 am

Trifioso

you are a lucky woman carlee. I know that sounds weird to say, but you are.

7:54 am

carleekat

Trifioso

7:59 am

Trifioso

that is excellent! secondo has been a lot more driven in her studies this year, I must say. A lot of her friends are in honors level classes, and she wants to be up with them, so she is working very hard. it's the good kind of peer pressure

7:59 am

8:00 am

herinfernallady

I have Ta 8 the most ragged but I need the other one

8:00 am

Cute, Amelu

1:14 pm

Scrabbler

Me too, Deeha

1:15 pm

Deeha

Altho I have to say I do find the American cuisine odd - we dont mix as much sweet and sour as you do. The oddest thing I had was crab in orange jelly

1:16 pm

amelu0218

Deeha, I guess no strawberry/rhubarb pie for you?

1:16 pm

Scrabbler

Yuck, Deeha. How did you like it?

Deeha

Being Britsh I am too polite to refuse- I ate it quickly and quietly!!

1:17 pm

Jellen

Mmmm....strawberry/rhubarb pie!!

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

a cup of tea?

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

hic

3:18 pm

ladybug.hill

and go drink a nice bottle of wine - that helps - just relax she is testing her boundries and how much you really care

3:18 pm

carleekat

she has never been close to her dad....she and i have been inseparable and this just blindsided me

3:18 pm

varumba

any1 want a clue before i go?

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

ladybug makes good sense

3:19 pm

cosdem

i need the clue for last sh6

3:19 pm

carleekat

so do i say no u cant...do i get emotional....or do i let her go?

3:19 pm

ladybug.hill

my 14 year old was close to her dad - very close and decided she wanted more freedom - so she went - I helped her pack and told her that I would always be here for her

3:19 pm

varumba

oh carlee just read it.....

3:19 pm

ladybug.hill

drove her over there and left her -

3:19 pm

Jillyjill

Just talk first, find out her reasoning

3:19 pm

ladybug.hill

hardest thing I ever had to do - cried the whole way home -

3:19 pm

varumba

so sory for you

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

it may be a test -- try, I won't stop you because you are old enough to decide, but I am hurt by this and don't think it is in your best interest

3:20 pm

varumba

no, you need to be the parent here, and tell her how much you dont'want her to go leave... but that you understand she might need her father right now...

3:20 pm

jhb

You have obviously raised a very caring daughter. Can you sit down with her and quietly tell her how you feel about this? Also assure her that if she does go she can always come back.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

of course that assumes that her dad is not a complete evil jerk

3:20 pm

ladybug.hill

about 6 months later - grass wasn't so green on dad's side of the fence - she came home - and I told her if she came back she couldn't leave - this wasn't musical houses

3:20 pm

ladybug.hill

she's been here over a year

3:20 pm

varumba

d that of course you will always be there

3:20 pm

ladybug.hill

things are good

3:21 pm

Jillyjill

I actually would first find out why...and let her know how much you love and need her there with you....how far does your ex live?

3:21 pm

varumba

she's atthat difficult age where she is trying to fign herself, and indeed test her boundaries

3:22 pm

ladybug.hill

my daughter adn I talked about it ad she said she wanted to go because her dad had just moved into a new place and was getting a divorce and he needed her

3:22 pm

carleekat

she said " It is clear u and dad are now separated...and i think it is only fair that i live with dad since ( her brother...who is 18 ) isnt "

3:22 pm

carleekat

" are you ok with this?"

3:22 pm

ladybug.hill

but that wasn't the real reason and I'm not sure I'll ever know for sure - but we did talk and just let her know that you love her and will always be there for her

3:22 pm

cosdem

last sh 6/21?

3:22 pm

ladybug.hill

i can almost guarentee she won't stay there

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

sorry got to go -- hang in there car

3:23 pm

varumba

last sh6 = difficult!!! sh6 = sh + cons+ vowel + same cons + other cons

3:23 pm

ladybug.hill

has she talked to her dad about this - i know my ex tried to get both the girls because it would mean little/no child support for me -

3:23 pm

varumba

carleekat

3:25 pm

cosdem

yay i monkeyed it :) ty

3:25 pm

carleekat

we in process there of...

3:25 pm

ladybug.hill

it will hurt - but she can at least experience - jsut let her know that rules are rules and she will be expected to follow rules no matter where she lives

3:25 pm

ladybug.hill

but $$$ is usually the factor - I've found

3:26 pm

ladybug.hill

if you want to email me I can give you pointers on what I did

3:26 pm

carleekat

thank lady..i will keep all this in mind

3:26 pm

carleekat

its ok..but thank you

3:26 pm

rather than telling her : you need to do it", i would say"I haven't got the right to say no.... just to let her know that it is HER choice, and that you are not stopping her from choosing

3:29 pm

varumba

but indeed, take a bit of tiem before you ahve that conversation

3:29 pm

carleekat

amelu0218

car, she won't have to change schools, will she?

3:32 pm

carleekat

no..she will still go to her school

3:33 pm

amelu0218

if not, one thing to keep in mind is to let her know that your homes will not have revolving doors... she can't get mad at her father and run to your house to live, then get mad at you and run back to her father's...

3:33 pm

amelu0218

give her a minimum timeline... like she must go through the entire school year or something...

3:33 pm

carleekat

she's not if that personlity amelu...she is a thinker.she makes descisions... and once made..is steadfast..she does not 2nd guess...she moves forward...and rarely reverses direction

3:34 pm

Jellen

On the other hand, I have a friend who has her kids Friday to Friday...Then their dad has them...

3:34 pm

Jillyjill

I totally agree with amelu....there have to be boundaries...can you work with your ex to establish some guidlines?

3:34 pm

carleekat

this child is furthest u can imagine from wishywashy

3:35 pm

bichon

I feel very badly about something.

3:35 pm

amelu0218

Oh, I understand, and that's a good thing...

3:35 pm

amelu0218

Even so, she's 14. That is not an adult

3:35 pm

carleekat

3:35 pm

amelu0218

Just saying...

3:36 pm

bichon

I was going to go to CA to visit my grandkids for two weeks next month. My d.i.l. had made plans to go to a symposium for a day and I was going to watch the kids.

3:36 pm

bichon

It turns out my husband is going to be on a nationaly televised game show during that time and I am canceling my trip. I feel badly about leaving my d.i.l. in the lurch.

3:37 pm

bichon

Should she be understanding?

3:37 pm

carleekat

3:37 pm

amelu0218

3:38 pm

cosdem

3:38 pm

amelu0218

If you were planning on watching them for a week while she went out of town on business, maybe not so much...

3:38 pm

Jellen

Hi all again. In answer to frogtaco's question - I do not have a solver, I just post my stats when I've completed the grid. Lickety's list is done using a solver, but he doesn't play Babble and does this for us out of the goodness of his heart.

7:11 pm

Jacula

TO - that's awful!

7:11 pm

Dorens

wow.. sorry to hear that owl. when i was working in East Orange it happened, and the jeweler was the father of one of my students. it was horrible

7:12 pm

herinfernallady

TO I am a little confused but that is terrible.

7:12 pm

Dorens

what neighborhood ws this in?

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i keep picturing it - i mean when you know someone you can see it happen in your mind. sometimes i have htese strange ...premonitions.

7:13 pm

Jacula

I used to work in a jewellers back when I was a student. The shop was raided at a time when I wasn't there, just after closing time and the manager left tied up. Thank God that was all it amounted to.

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

doren, lawncrest, right up the street from work. i walk there.

7:14 pm

LeslieAnn

sh 6/21?

7:14 pm

Jacula

Herin - I mentioned that there's a police helicopter hovering over my neighbourhood at present and TO said the last one she saw was the one looking for whoever shot her jeweller.

7:14 pm

hurshy

it's yiddish...

7:15 pm

hurshy

the sh6/21, not the jeweller's shop...

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Wow

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Found the article :(

7:15 pm

Jacula

I must have been Babbling for too long because that Yiddish sh6/21 was one of the first words I found.

7:16 pm

Jacula

Helicopter seems to have moved off now.

7:16 pm

lil*monkey

really? sh6 is a word for prostitute in Australia? LOL i'm loving that

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:16 pm

herinfernallady

lil*monkey

great thanks! and you?

7:17 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! got sidetracked and forgot to say howdy!

7:17 pm

Jacula

Actually, I assumed it was a police helicopter. In all likelihood it was an Air Ambulance. I live close to a motorway and the medics often have to hover and wait until they can land at an accident scene.

7:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am off tomorrow and watching the bball game

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

Dorens

cause it's amc, not cbs. and season finale of madmen is. at least to me.

7:31 pm

herinfernallady

LIl I was just pissed that I missed it. BUt I see what Doren's program issue is bah irritating

7:32 pm

lil*monkey

redturtlehead

7:47 pm

herinfernallady

7:53 pm

redturtlehead

7:53 pm

herinfernallady

Jilly it is too hard to clue. I was just trying to think what you actually needed

7:53 pm

Jacula

Jillyjill - 1st sh6/21 is a woman's name that defies the 'i before e, except after c' rule and is also what the Australians call a girl (Their men are all called 'Bruce'.)

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Jacula

Jillyjill - I just clued that! Woman's name, Aussie girl etc.

7:58 pm

Jacula

Jillyjill - here it is again: Jillyjill - 1st sh6/21 is a woman's name that defies the 'i before e, except after c' rule and is also what the Australians call a girl (Their men are all called 'Bruce'.)

7:58 pm

Jillyjill

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

I have 54 left, starting to dislike the grid...

8:01 pm

Jacula

TO - you know those reality shows on TV? Well try being 'real' and then trussing it up at then end and changing the first letter.

8:01 pm

Jacula

Herin - do them, don't just think about doing them.x

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

Oh nice clue jacula, odd one, but I found it!

8:02 pm

Jacula

Red - I'm amazed it worked! Babblers are an amazing bunch, though.

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

indeed we are.

8:03 pm

Jacula

TO - got it yet?

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

no

8:05 pm

Jacula

TO - have you got the first le4/4 (the word after the green thing on a tree)?

8:06 pm

Jacula

Well, at this time of the year, it's more likely a yellow, orange or red thing about to fall off a tree... but you get my point?

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

got it ty

8:08 pm

Sleep well, Red.

8:13 pm

Jacula

TO - you off to bed, too?

8:14 pm

Jacula

I've just been on FB, seeing my daughter asking her friend where she got the sticky out net slip from for her 50s/60s dress. Oh LOL. Me and my Mum had matching ones. I still have the pattern she used to make them.

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

no , too het up.

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my, remember crinolines?

8:17 pm

Jacula

TO - take deep breaths... think calm thoughts...

8:19 pm

Jacula

TO - not the original crinolines, no, LOL. Don't remember bustles either, though they might be handy these days in place of a handbg (or purse, as you in USA call it).

8:20 pm

Jacula

Having said that, how would you stop a mugger pinching the contents of your bustle? I guess, if it was hiding a large bottom, you could sit on him?

8:21 pm

Jacula

Or maybe you could put a loaded mousetrap in it?

8:21 pm

Jacula

The 'you' is a general term, btw, not talking about you personally, TO.

8:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

Pinikula

Oh, oops...sorry...

9:25 pm

carleekat

gilmore girls...

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

Truly, from one who works with teens, it is a hard time for her and she may just be trying to feel or work things out the best she can...there can be SO much with this

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

I don't want to be too pushy, but you might want to consider counseling?

9:26 pm

carleekat

i work with teens too jilly.. we are pretty... close... and we talk...my son too...we talk...

9:26 pm

crosshair

i can see that i am out of my league here,so i will leave it to you ladies and your wise council..

9:26 pm

carleekat

i know what this is about and she is doing it out of guilt that her father has laid on her...

9:27 pm

carleekat

oh its ok crossy

9:27 pm

carleekat

oooh 94/100

9:28 pm

carleekat

he is a manipulative control freak... and this is a guilt that he has laid on the kids... my son said no so out of default she is going..when neither of them should go

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

LIke I said, difficult time for ALL of you. I do know that she has not changed her feelings for you and I do know it will work out...just keep your good dialogue with her

9:29 pm

carleekat

oh i know she loves me... i just think she is making a huge mistake here...

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

Sometimes they have to learn the hard way...

9:30 pm

9:33 pm

carleekat

cus today i just wanted to curl up in a ball with a blanket and tune out the world after the last 3 + years of crap

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, that was a Mother Teresa quote "God only gives us what we can handle...I just wish He wouldn't trust us so much". I actually am not sure I agree with that

9:34 pm

Jillyjill

Have you read the book "The Shack"?

9:35 pm

carleekat

9:39 pm

stidmama

LBD!!!!

9:40 pm

stidmama

rofl... I have one kid who scowled at me today, so I started scowling at him. We had a scowling contest the rest of the day -- every time he saw me he scowled, every time I saw him, I scowled... tomorrow I will give him a gold star for scowly-ness.

9:41 pm

carleekat

heheh..that is funny stiddy

9:41 pm

stidmama

YES!! I did it! halfway and NBT with NO HELP!

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

lol...my son needed a teach like you stid!!

9:41 pm

lbdawger

lol, i love it when teachers dish it back to the kids!

9:42 pm

Jillyjill

*applies cold washrag to Carleekat's eyes*

9:42 pm

stidmama

I am getting WAY better at stuff like that LBD. I am just trying to be careful to do that only when it is a student with good general self esteem.

9:42 pm

lbdawger

cucumbers work really well too

9:43 pm

carleekat

thanks jilly... and yes stiddy...doesnt work on those with low self esteem

9:43 pm

carleekat

yea...but then i cant read screen..

9:43 pm

Jillyjill

dawg...I still have some cukes in my fridge....lol!!

9:43 pm

stidmama

oh! LBD! I did something that made some of my students REALLY rethink my teaching... the phone was ringing while I was talking to a student, and several turned around to find out why I wasn't answering it. SO, I just told them that I was more interested in my students who needed me than in the phone.

9:43 pm

lbdawger

if they know you're playing with them, it helps them to make a connection with an adult.

9:43 pm

carleekat

my son was really good...he gave me a very long hug...

9:43 pm

stidmama

*pokes holes in cukes for carlee*

9:44 pm

stidmama

anyway... I think that impressed them.

9:44 pm

carleekat

hehehe...silly stiddy

9:44 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, good for son

9:44 pm

carleekat

it would stiddy...i have done same at pathfinders/ guides....

9:44 pm

carleekat

my cell will ring..i press ignore..and turn back

9:44 pm

stidmama

very good for son, carlee. (((hugs again)))

9:45 pm

carleekat

( he's an excellent hugger too )

9:45 pm

lbdawger

i do the phone thing with customers. I just let them know that I serve the customers who are there first!

9:45 pm

stidmama

yep. later the cooperating teacher told me that particular type of ring means its internal to the school and I should either look at the number to see if it's the office trying to call me or check the caller ID as soon as possible to be sure I don't need to return the call. So much to learn!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

i really get irritated by the customer who has to talk on the phone while s/he expects me to "help" them. grrrrr. I ignore them after a minute or two.

9:46 pm

stidmama

very maxine-ish of you, LBD

9:46 pm

carleekat

stiddy you have inspired me btw..i am seriously thinking about going back to school myself for teaching too

9:47 pm

lbdawger

lol

9:47 pm

crosshair

if a customer is yakking on the phone i immediatly turn to the next customer and make the cell phone junkie wait

9:47 pm

stidmama

oh carlee, you would be SO GOOD as a teacher! But I gotta warn you, this student-teaching gig is REALLY hard on any "life" I used to have.

9:48 pm

stidmama

oh cross! you curmudgeon, you!

9:48 pm

stidmama

how is mrs. cross?

9:48 pm

lbdawger

i wonder how they would fe4 if i just kept on talking as if they we're being civil?

9:48 pm

crosshair

she is fine stidmama,the usual life issues but we are managing in love

9:49 pm

stidmama

good. *approving mama look* and assume you are doing okay too -- how's the current health plan working for you?

9:49 pm

lbdawger

does she babble, crossy?

9:49 pm

crosshair

i can face any problem as long as she is holding my hand....

9:49 pm

stidmama

I mean, you know, actually sleeping and eating more healthily and such.

9:49 pm

crosshair

she does on ocasion lbd

9:49 pm

stidmama

LBD, I think being married to crossy would make any woman babble... *wicked mama look*

9:50 pm
