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

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.

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

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.
5:46 am
Trifioso
thank you! the kids are always up my nose to drive them over to a friends house on snow days! I don't seem to be successful in getting them to see that snow day means "don't travel"
5:47 am
sprite
lol kids will be kids! My son once wanted to go swimming, after we got off of the water on a canoe trip because a thunderstorm broke loose.
5:47 am

5:49 am
ivesy3
course, now i get to go to work lol, library doesnt close often... buffalo is brutal. normally we are too, but for some reason we havent been getting hit
5:51 am
Trifioso

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

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

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

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

or just wait,in many women,migraines vanish as they age my wife was originally given caffergot..take if you think you may get a headache what a riot that is,then after many years pills that are 100 dollars each..did not last long! and finally something that does work and is cheap amatryptalie,but it leaves you a walking zombie for half the next day

hello all - just got here and saw the conversation - I have used Relpax for years. Very minor side effects and the pain is gone within 20 min - half hour.
10:22 am
Angela
Just my 2 cents :)
10:22 am
Dorens
that's the one ... relpax forgot the name
10:24 am
crosshair
and the cost of relpax?
10:24 am
Angela
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
crosshair
my wife get a migraine a week
10:24 am

so that is not for me
10:25 am

babble is a little wonky today

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

Stop eating those bulbs.

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.
5:18 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

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

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

Dad drove 100 miles to exchange some space heaters knowing that there was a winter storm warning. He wouldn't listen. He keeps saying he can drive home. It will just take him longer. There's only 2 inches of ice on the roads. 3 days of telling him "NO" Argh!

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
stidmama
can you hide his shoes and blame it on the dogs??
6:18 pm

You're right stid. Cats?
6:19 pm

If that was my dad pulling that crap, I would slam the door and lock it when he went out to "check the ice." That would be the last time he would pull crap like that.

jesdraggon
the other 9 is... lost in my list, sorry
10:16 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, what jac said
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
