melonheadjujube

subbing is a good way to scope a district out. For me, it's a career choice, and a career change. I like the fact that I can take days off as needed, and I like thinking on my feet. And - - surpirse - - - I like teenagers! Young people energize me. We need to make room for them in this world.

5:26 am

frogface

cant believe there are 13 j words!!!

5:26 am

sprite

I can be pretty clever and I can also be incredibly stupid. As most people, I guess. But I am serious about babblers being usually intelligent and good conversationalists. And you don't stand out, so you must be too :)

5:27 am

frogface

well i can certainly hold my own conversationally - i like a good natter and i also appreciate and can respond to sensible conversation. and this early in the day it is nice to talk to somebody such as yourself xx

5:27 am

*grin* thanks, and right back at you.

5:28 am

:) welcomexx

5:30 am

13 j words... I can vouch for 7. Am usually finding Js tough to find too. But as long as there are no Ks, I am a happy little babbler.

hiya Triffles, great job! Still smiling over the sunny word doc?

5:37 am

well, we have another storm today, with more school closings and such. it is such a bummer, as I am on deadline to finish a coat for a client (costume job) and I can't go any further til I hit the fabric store, but not sure that is going to be possible today

5:38 am

sprite

argh, that is not nice. quite a bit of frustration going around, isn't there? Go outside, kick the storm to australia and get on with your day!

5:38 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the fe6/42 ?

5:38 am

Trifioso

I think I am going to have to go out, even with the storm. hope the store is open when I get there!

5:42 am

sprite

yes that would be nice.

5:43 am

Trifioso

I know for sure two kids won't be there because their schools are closed and they are both contract students. the other students are delivered by their parents, so not sure on them

5:44 am

sprite

hm if so, let them be delivered to your place, lol

5:44 am

Trifioso

the good news is that the fabric store is right near the office, so could combine the trip, and thus justify me being out to the fabric store

5:45 am

sprite

as long as you are sure to take care of yourself. Schools and such aren't closed for nothing, I bet.

7:41 am

MollyL

"Types of words not allowed: Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary." Who decides what foreign words ARE and ARE NOT in the Enable dictionary? Very fickle rules.

7:41 am

Mom

Good morning Aloy.

7:41 am

NonoNanette

7:42 am

Aloyisius

I agree, Molly.. so many foreign currencies are included, for example

Y'all in the path of the big storm, stay safe. I'm glad to hear that things are SENSIBLY closing down. It always disturbs me to hear that places of employment stay open in bad weather.

8:21 am

NonoNanette

it can be time consuming River but trying to stay ahead of it is better I think than trying to do it all at once

8:22 am

Riverdance

there is no way I will be able to shovel 2 feet when this is done

8:22 am

periwinkle

hospitals and pharmaces never close

8:22 am

knutmeg

won't help, river. if you're getting our storm, the wind makes shovelling impossible. There is no point. my husband was supposed to go to work at 6am, so he was out at 4am to try and shovel out, and an hour later when I attempted teh same, his foot prints were completely gone.

8:22 am

MollyL

I think it's better for you to do it a bit at a time Nono. If you wait until it's all done, the snow is too heavy and it's bad for your back and other things.

8:22 am

periwinkle

pharmacies even. I used to work in a hospital and my b-il-l works at Rite Aid

8:23 am

periwinkle

hi all

8:23 am

brother was in LV at a casino yesterday while the pro bowl was on score at the time was 42-7 a real blow out.just for laughs he walked up to the counter and asked what the payoff would be on a finish spread of less than 10 points,the guy thought a minute and offered him the odds of 1000 to1.he had the hundred dollar bill in his hand and the wife told him not to waste his cash....final score 55-46.....

9:21 am

9:29 am

Mark Jones

That is terrible. We got hit terribly.

9:30 am

uusue2

looks like there won't be much of a snow removal window between the wind dying down and the temps crashing, so we'll probably get out there soon even though it's still blowing

9:30 am

yeah it's fun when you are inside and have power. anything else pretty much sucks

indeed. we lost partial cable (digital channels quit working although the analog ones were still fine) but everything else kept working.

I used to get the ones with the auras but then, as Crossy said, those went away and I got a new kind where the tension builds up in your neck for a while before you get slammed. They have tappered WAY off and the Relpax is amazing when they do come.

10:24 am

Angela

VERY costly. But since I only need one or two pills a year it works out.

10:24 am

5:09 pm

Mom

babble is a little wonky today

5:10 pm

stidmama

hey Mom

5:10 pm

stidmama

a lot of things are a little wonky today I think

5:10 pm

Mom

how are things with you?

5:10 pm

Mom

I think so too

5:11 pm

stidmama

not horrible today. I think the virus from last week is actually gone, and although I have done virtually NO school-related work today I think I have most of the ideas I need. We'll see.

5:12 pm

stidmama

how about you?

5:12 pm

Mom

I am so glad you are feeling better.

5:12 pm

stidmama

I will spend this evening doing the "fun" part of thinking about science instruction. :-D

5:12 pm

Mom

things here are pretty good. Can't wait until Spring

5:12 pm

stidmama

Tomorrow I will dive in to doing intensive writing and reading.

5:13 pm

Mom

there you go, that's a plan

5:14 pm

stidmama

spring sounds good... unfortunately it has been so unseasonably warm, dry and sunny that everything here thinks it IS spring. and it could still turn very cold again.

5:14 pm

uusue2

Hey, stid, what kind of science do you teach?

5:14 pm

stidmama

NEXT fall, I am determined to plant more bulbs to replace the ones eaten last year... LOL

5:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Stop eating those bulbs.

5:15 pm

stidmama

well, I am in the process of becoming a teacher, and one component of the program this quarter (in my spare time while also writing the master's paper) is to ...

5:15 pm

stidmama

brb phone

5:17 pm

stidmama

darn kid! I told him THREE TIMES to ride the bus to our house. He went to his grandparents' instead. So now Tom will have to pick him up, too.

5:17 pm

stidmama

*sigh*

5:18 pm

uusue2

Ah. I teach physics at a university, so I never really learned to teach (except by doing). But I've been doing for 29 years now (egads) so I've picked up a trick or two.

5:18 pm

stidmama

anyway. I am writing a short unit on measurement, with a focus on force and motion for 4th/5th grade. Partly as an exercise, partly because I will be teaching in one of those grades in the spring.

5:18 pm

uusue2

Writing exams right now - not one of my favorite parts.

5:18 pm

stidmama

LOL experience is a great "teacher" too!

5:18 pm

stidmama

I LOVE physics....

5:18 pm

uusue2

me too :-)

5:19 pm

stidmama

I also really really love chemistry (it was easy for me), but my heart is in the garden.

5:19 pm

stidmama

Writing assessments is not fun -- summative tests are so high-stakes.

5:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Your heart is in the garden? And you are eating bulbs?????

5:19 pm

uusue2

maybe the bulbs are onions?

5:20 pm

stidmama

"you are what you eat" n'est ce-pas?

5:20 pm

Mom

I think I will go, keep losing internet connection. ((hugs) to all of you and extra hugs to ((Stid))

5:20 pm

garlic bulbs, actually -- the garlic in the garden is looking SO healthy!

5:20 pm

stidmama

Don't eat your heart out though.

I was snorkeling with Mark Jones yesterday

6:18 pm

LuwandaHL

I have actually caught him going out the door 3 or 4 times to check if the the ice was melting. I yelled at him and told him he was putting us in danger if he fell and we had to take him to the hospital and he would throw a fit if the kids wanted to drive in this mess.

6:18 pm

Hello J.C. The pantomime's just finished, so I guess you're having a well earned rest now. It must have been nice to work with Joan C but shame about Orville! (I always hated that puppet!) My deputy at work used to do an imitation of him and it made me 'wanna kill her'! LOL

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

4 left; clue for the pr8 that's not plural of good looking, please?

10:03 pm

10:04 pm

Jacula

Oh, dogs

10:06 pm

jesdraggon

10:06 pm

Jacula

I must go to the PB for typing a grid word in my greeting to J.C.

10:07 pm

Jacula

fe6/42 is a myrtle shrub. However, unless you're a gardener, I'm going to have to think about hw best to clue it.

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

no, botany is very much not my thing. unless it's a common toxic plant...

10:08 pm

Jacula

fe + personal pronoun + first 3 letters of comedian Ms. Rivers' first name.

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

wow, i was ages away from ever monkeying THAT!

10:09 pm

Jacula

You got it?

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

i did, thanks :)

10:09 pm

Jacula

I'm impressed. LOL

10:10 pm

jesdraggon

10:10 pm

Jacula

No, I suppose not.

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

10:11 pm

Jacula

10:11 pm

Jacula

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

10:12 pm

Jacula

Once seen, never forgotten, I guess, Jes.

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

10:15 pm

mkg

10:15 pm

Jacula

Looks like there's no one here now.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Oh, hi mkg. The other 9 is sn9 - the most nosey.

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, what jac said

10:16 pm

mkg

ty got it.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Think of the neighbour who moves the lace curtains over the most to check up on what you are doing. She is more sn9 the the other one.

10:17 pm

mkg

well 8s and 9s done. but need 38 still. ugh

10:17 pm

mkg

or think of a dog by fisher price, a toy, named sn***y and then the most.

10:18 pm

Jacula

mkg - it's been a cartoon strip for years, too.

10:19 pm

mkg

my cousins dog was named sn***er and i loved him so so much

10:21 pm

Jacula

mkg - do you really have 11 children of your own??

10:22 pm

mkg

i have 6 and 5 are married so the spouses are now my kids too. so that makes 11. the baby isnt married yet, he is 21. in college. i do have 15 grandkids already though.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Ah! I see!

10:25 pm

mkg

and i love them all very much. that is what is best.

10:26 pm

Jacula

I have 2 of my own + a stepdaughter, none are married yet, and no have children. Youngest (step) is just 16, then there's my daughter , who will be 24 in March, and son, who will be 27 in May.

10:28 pm

Jacula

How did they all get so 'old'??

10:29 pm

Jacula

Obviously, I've known my own two since birth, but 'step' was only 8 when I met her.

10:29 pm

Jacula

Any more grid clues needed?

10:30 pm

Jacula

If not, I will head off for now.

10:31 pm

ShadowHyrst

sp6, the last one, not the utensil is eluding me...any clues? thanks in advance

10:33 pm

Jacula

sp + what you pay your landlord, Shadow.

10:34 pm

ShadowHyrst

10:34 pm

Jacula

y/w.

10:34 pm

ShadowHyrst

so logical...but escaped me

10:35 pm

Jacula

It means 'sprinkled', if you wanted to know.

10:36 pm

Jacula

I can smell toast! No one is up but me, so it can't be in our house. I have a window open, so I must be smelling it from outside.

10:45 pm

tijani

10:45 pm

Jacula

Okay, off now. See you all next grid.

10:45 pm

11:39 pm

Fauxmage

It's an art.

11:42 pm

Fauxmage

Whoa I forgot to hit the add button on my last word. :P

11:43 pm

Fauxmage

Fireworks!

11:51 pm

Jacula

Hi Faux. Just read your bio. You sound like me and my 3 kids. I'm sure we'll all grow up but doubt we'll all ever fit in.

11:55 pm

Jacula

BTW - I'm the Queen of Non-PC on here, since I say what I think.

11:57 pm

Jacula

It's not a crown I've awarded myself, but was given to me by another Babbler who is a friend. Saying what you think does not always equal 'having a go' at someone. But most Babblers know that, I think, as does the friend who crowned me.
