My only consolation is that my first word grayed a tile
12:45 am
J. C.
Ah. Well that's something, anyway. ;)
12:46 am
J. C.
It isn't too bad Douglas, until you hit about the half-way mark. It's quite a tease...

And JC, I thank you for sending the email I responded to.
12:47 am

I thought so, too, jilli...seems a bit like talk/sing...so his tone-deafness may not have been able to fully kick in
12:47 am
jillibus
not a terribly difficult tune, either
12:47 am
J. C.
You're quite welcome, Jill.

Oh dear. I seem to have stopped the chat dead. Anyone still here?
5:28 am

Morning hydra
chat seems to be very sporadic these days.
5:29 am

Morning, FMitch. I was starting to get paranoid. How are you?
5:30 am
FMitch
lol, Im fine - enjoying a relaxed Sunday morning. How all is well with you.
5:31 am
FMitch
Dr_G does love to toy with us doesn't he, that and his random grid generator prog.
5:32 am
hydra
Fine thanks, apart from losing most of the pond fish to fish fungus. It was a mass tragedy - over 40 fish dead. It's happened a lot in my area. The extreme weather was the culprit.
5:32 am
hydra
Oh, I love that! 'Random grid generator prong'. Like Neptune with his trident.
5:32 am
FMitch
oh how awful!
5:33 am
hydra
There are just three left but they look pretty sick.
5:33 am
FMitch
are you planning on replacing the fish?
5:33 am
hydra
Down to my last 4 words.
5:34 am
hydra
My partner has kept fish for 40 years and this is the third time it's happened to him. He says he won't replace them this time.
5:35 am
FMitch
That is sad but I can understand his feeling about it.
wtg, I'm trying t omake it last so I still have 20 words to go.
5:35 am
hydra
Wow, suddenly got fireworks!!! Do you need any clues?
5:36 am

Congrats!!!
No thanks, am happy pecking away.
5:36 am

In fact I think it is coffee time so I will bid you adieu. Have a good day.

5:50 am

I now give him his anti-phlebitis shot, a totally new experience. He says I'm better than the nurse hahah
5:50 am

yes, I saw you chat yesterday - good idea on many levels.
That is a compliment indeed!
5:51 am
FMitch
Hows the weather with you these days?
5:52 am
rubyfoo
how are you doing in this strange pre-Spring?
5:52 am
rubyfoo
It has been 50F in the afternoons but today we have some much-needed rain. The bulbs are several inches up but there has been a prolonged drought
5:53 am
FMitch
Well wel haven't been sub zero for about 10 days now but much rain and grey.
5:53 am
rubyfoo
this grid is as strange as the spring!
5:53 am
rubyfoo
we get light frost at night
5:54 am
FMitch
It is one of those grids that when you walk away and come back you suddenly spot some perectly ordinary words.
5:54 am
rubyfoo
it's been wonderful here, lucky for me, as I've had to do dog-walking duty and it's much more pleasant when it's dry
5:54 am
rubyfoo
there are several forms of the odd north (I think) wind we get here
5:55 am
rubyfoo
do you know it?
5:55 am

usually spelled with an e, however, and pronounced with an umlaut

I reckon that some of my daffodils will be in flower next week.

I got home, couldn't find my glasses, called my friend, the restaurant, the theater, etc..... She's also at home, calling the same places to find her red gloves....
7:41 am
Scrabbler
Were they on your head?
7:42 am
MollyL
Or around your neck?
7:42 am
Scrabbler
I think JBV forgets what happened now.
7:43 am
JBV
my glasses were on my bed where I had changed clothes as soon as I got home and her red gloves were ...(get ready)... IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT of her car!
7:43 am
Scrabbler
50 to find and I see nothing.
7:43 am
JBV
imagine me trying to find the telephone number of the restaurant and theater WITHOUT my glasses, and you'll laugh harder
7:44 am
MollyL
Hilarious! And how ironic that it happened the day that Memories video got posted.
7:44 am
Scrabbler
Finding lost items is always so frustrating.
7:44 am

7:45 am

Button's latest trick - shaking her head "no" - though she does it to be funny and not to say no
7:45 am

Ah, yes, Dan - I remember when my son was that age - he would pull himself up to a standing position using the coffee table, and then wail because he couldn't figure out how to get back down!
7:48 am

7:54 am

Morning Annie.
7:54 am

7:54 am

You get a pass Sprite. Have a glass of wine for those of us "in the zone".
7:54 am
crosshair
every once in a while,i dream of the oriental style minimalist lifestyle...then i look around;((
7:55 am
Scrabbler
With a thaw thurs + Fri and no new snow til later today thru Tues the xc-skiing will not be so great today, so I will declutter.
7:55 am
Anniebrook
Hi JBV. I decluttered my desk last night...feels wonderful. I also went to The Brooklyn Museum to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit. Fantastic.
7:55 am
sprite
thanks Molly :D
7:55 am
carleekat
i am determined to go on a spending and living diet
7:55 am
MollyL
My walk in closet, that you can't "walk in" takes a whole weekend worth of decluttering.
7:55 am
JBV
Oh, wonderful, ANnie - haven't been to the Brooklynm Museum in years
7:55 am
JBV
it does feel good when you get it done
7:56 am
JBV
but it's never done
7:56 am
uusue2
I think my dad is going to be doing some decluttering when he gets home - he plans to tell his wife's son that anything of hers that doesn't get picked up soon is going in the trash (apparently this is a longstanding agreement that they had)
7:56 am
Scrabbler
I must save every penny for my June hiking trip out west. Bryce Canyon, Zion Natl Park +Grand Canyon. A trip of a lifetime!
7:56 am
uusue2
I will try to advise him not to rush into things but he's pretty ticked off (as am I, really)
7:57 am
uusue2
oh, scrabs, that sounds like a wonderful trip!
7:57 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbs, What a wonderful trip.
7:57 am
JBV
great, scrabs!
7:57 am
sprite
it is so very sad, uusue. How about for better and for worse :(
7:57 am
Scrabbler
I am very frugal so this trip is causing panic for me.
7:58 am
crosshair
you cannot take the money with you and the trip will give you lifetime of memories
7:58 am
uusue2
indeed, sprite!
7:58 am
crosshair
bring your vid camera,we want it up on you tube when you get back
7:58 am
Scrabbler
Great idea, Crossy.
7:59 am
uusue2
well, it doesn't really sound like an extravagant trip, scrabs, and memories are priceless (and people seem to get much more pleasure from spending money on experiences than on things).
8:00 am
crosshair
they have a new vid camera out,thing is barely the size of a tin of soup and has a built in projector!
8:00 am
Scrabbler
Total cost will be almost $3500 I estimate. *panic*
8:00 am
JBV
taking a break - see you later- enjoy your trip, Scrab, no panicking allowed!
8:00 am
Scrabbler
I have a Flip video--has USB plug.
8:01 am
Scrabbler
Bye JBV
8:01 am
sprite
you are worth it, Scrabs, and afterwards, when you will be looking back, you will cherish all the memories and feel you have grown from the experience. Worth every penny.
8:01 am

so? what else you gonna spend it on? your a doctor..it,s not like you are gonna get fired or run out of work anytime soon,enjoy it!!

I could get a lightweight kayak or go on 7 Adirondack vacations...but to hike in those places with 2 guides and everything arranged (driving, lodging, meals, park admissions...) is a dream.
8:03 am
MollyL
Scrabs, don't stress the anticipation of a vacation. That takes some of the fun out of it.
8:03 am

ewww is the grid hard? Only 4 vowels???? YIKES!!!!!!
8:03 am
MollyL
Carlee, I know what a spending diet is. What's a living diet?
8:03 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbler, It is the vacation of a lifetime for you...the heck with the money..you deserve it..you work hard
8:04 am
carleekat
there is something to be ssaid about deciding this week you are going away somewhere warm..then getting a sell off vacation...or a cheap package and just going...
8:04 am
Scrabbler
True, Molly. I will catch up with the money in April actually, after the trip and county taxes are paid.
8:04 am

I have a bookcase filled with board games and toys such as Legos, Tinker Toys, etc, and I should clear that out now that my nephews are older. But when friends visit with their kids the kids love that bookcase.

Well, I had a violin recital yesterday and I think i played very well. The piece was unknown, but not too hard.
8:26 am
uusue2
congrats, mark!
8:26 am
Anniebrook
well done, Mark!
8:27 am
Mark Jones
Thanks, guys.
8:27 am
Scrabbler
I admire all musicians because I have never been able to play an instrument despite many attempts. I can't figure out how to read notes and then make my fingers do the right things--flute, violin, piano, guitar...
8:27 am
Mark Jones
I tried the guitar, but it failed miserably.
8:28 am
uusue2
I think it helps to start when you are young, scrabs.
8:28 am
Scrabbler
And it amazes me to watch a band or orchestra do their thing in a coordinated manner...wow!
8:28 am
72 Temple Owl
some of it is your body - i love guitar but my fingers are short. banjo worked better and i suspect manodlin would be even better
8:29 am
Mark Jones
We just played with a high school orchestra, and it amazed us. Some of the players were better than we were!
8:29 am
Scrabbler
I tried all of those when I was young. God did not put music ability into my brain,although I received other wonderful parts.
8:29 am
Scrabbler
Hi Owl!
8:29 am
Mark Jones
Huh. I am an atheist Jew, Scrabs.
8:30 am

8:30 am
Mark Jones
Sorry, TO.
8:30 am
72 Temple Owl
health
8:30 am
uusue2
my parents started me on piano lessons when I was 5, and didn't let me quit; it finally started to take when i was about 10 (not that I would ever perform in public, but I can play well enough to entertain myself)
8:31 am
sprite
no other options that will accomplish the same thing?
8:31 am
sprite
fireflies. Bye all, have a wonderful Sunday.
8:31 am
uusue2
TO, have you tried steel-cut oats? They have a different texture.
8:31 am
Mark Jones
Hey, sounds good.
8:31 am
uusue2
bye, sprite, and congrats!
8:31 am
Anniebrook
bye spritey!
8:32 am

8:32 am
Mark Jones
Bye sprite!
8:32 am

uusue2
ep** fail, mark!
8:33 am
Mark Jones
Thanks guys!
8:34 am
uusue2
TO, the steel-cut oats are chewy but small (rolled oats are larger and flat). Steel-cut take about 1/2 hour to cook (or you can do them overnight in the crock pot).
8:35 am
Scrabbler
I just ate raw oatmeal with yogurt and frozen berries mixed in--yummy.
8:35 am
72 Temple Owl
i tried a new product called oat revolution, with flax seed. comes in dark chocolate too.
8:36 am
Scrabbler
*my bunny ears stand up straight* Dark chocolate oatmeal??
8:36 am
uusue2
ooh, yes, that is good too, scrabs!
8:36 am
72 Temple Owl
yes.
8:38 am
uusue2
Just googled it - definitely rolled oats.
8:39 am
72 Temple Owl
hi je
8:39 am
jmcnrick
uu how old is your son?
8:39 am
Scrabbler
Owl, is the brand called Lavish?
8:40 am
uusue2
jmc, he's 21; picture was taken a couple of years ago
8:40 am
Scrabbler
No, duh, you said Oat revolution.
8:40 am
72 Temple Owl
usue, it looks just like the website picture
8:40 am
uusue2
TO, I've seen people who hate rolled oats fall in love with steel cut oats; might be worth a try.
8:41 am
Scrabbler
Same company, I see, Owl.
8:41 am
godthaab
Mark, what did you play?
8:41 am
jmcnrick
my son is 25
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl
scrabs yes the chocolate is called lavish
8:42 am
Scrabbler
Sue, my just-turned 23 yr old nephew has lived with me since age 16. Has your son emerged from the brain death coma yet? I am trying to be patient.
8:42 am
jmcnrick
my cousin in law never played an instrument until he was 45 then decided to learn piano and within a month was a virtuoso
8:42 am
Scrabbler
I miss Shirlock + Godthaab. Good day!
8:43 am
Scrabbler
Amazing, jm! latent talent!
8:43 am
uusue2
scrabs, he's pretty good, and never quite fell into total teen brain death (although he came close sometimes). The last year or two have been much better.
8:43 am
Scrabbler
*missed
8:43 am
72 Temple Owl
wow they have a lot of flavors
8:43 am
jmcnrick
then to depress us all even more he decided to learn the violin and learned in in a month as well :-(
8:43 am
jmcnrick
got to hate someone like that
8:43 am
jmcnrick
but he is a nice guy
8:44 am
jmcnrick
my 25 year old son still reverts to the brain dead position but i must say each year shows improvement scrabss
8:44 am
uusue2
He is VERY smart, and has a real knack for "reading" people, although it didn't help him much with his psycho girlfriend (they have finally broken up, I think, but it's been a long time - kept trying to convince him that it wasn't his job to save her from herself or her family)
8:45 am
Scrabbler
Well, Peter will graduate in May with a double major but I cannot see him joining the adult work force yet. He is still lacking in maturity, responsibility, work ethic.
8:45 am
jmcnrick
i fear my son thinks he has to date very needy women as well--probably because he has a very needed mama *sigh*
8:46 am
Scrabbler
Hi Inge! TY for the clue!
8:46 am
jmcnrick
suggest he spend a year as a volunteer scrab
8:47 am
jmcnrick
Brethren Volunteer Service or two years in the Peace Corp
8:47 am
Mark Jones
I am back! Sorry, i had to do the laundry.
8:47 am
jmcnrick
hi mark congrats on your recital
8:47 am
Scrabbler
Good idea, jm. But Imust say that Peter has always gotten an A+ in sleeping excessively.
8:47 am
godthaab
Mark, what did you play?
8:47 am
Mark Jones
Thanks jmc! Did scrabs tell you?
8:48 am
jmcnrick
lol so has my boy scrabs!

God, I played something like a basic Gavotte. Nothing too fancy.
8:48 am

morning, folks (maybe it's a gender thing .. while my girls certainly had their moments, they stayed pretty motivated straight through university)
8:48 am
uusue2
Leo's been working for a while (part time) and is pretty responsible about it, especially now as he is doing something he likes (sound and video for the music dept). He has an AAS in audio engineering and is now studying electrical engineering at the university where I teach (Yay! Half tuition!!)
8:49 am
Mark Jones
Hey welki! Yeah, god.
8:49 am
jmcnrick
very cool to get 1/2 tuition
8:49 am
jmcnrick
my boy is finally graduating this spring (no sense rushing these things) and has a job lined up
8:50 am
jmcnrick
hi welki
8:50 am
uusue2
still have to pay full fees, and don't talk to me about textbook prices, but it helps
8:50 am
jmcnrick
it is a gender thing I hate to admit
8:50 am
welki
when my oldest changed career paths, she received 1/2 tuition as well (because i'm a retired emt .. the state recognized my service and it was a big surprise)
8:50 am
Mark Jones
Can i have the i for NBT and halfway?
8:50 am
uusue2
jmc, Leo will be 25 by the time he graduates too; even though he has the associate's degree none of his courses transferred and he's a freshman again
8:50 am
jmcnrick

Mark Jones
WTG jmc!
8:54 am
uusue2
welki, I always figured it was up to me to put him through college; my parents did that for me. I see a lot of students trying to work (full or part time) and go to college at the same time, and it is tough
8:54 am
Mark Jones
Ope, must go. Bye!
8:55 am
uusue2
bye, mark!
8:55 am
jmcnrick
i worked full time while in college and found that my boy did better in school when he worked
8:55 am
welki
it is tough, it's how we got through ... different takes
8:55 am
jmcnrick
other wise he had too much time to play
8:55 am
jmcnrick
bye mark
8:55 am

I think it partly depends on what you are studying; physics and engineering take a lot of time
8:56 am
jmcnrick
we only have about 4000 in loans after 8 years of college the last 2 at the 3rd most expensive school in the country
8:56 am
uusue2
one of my graduate students told me that in his family, the grandparents put the grandkids through school
8:56 am
welki
guess we were of the mindset that if you have to pay for it yourself, you're more likely not to to the party thing and more apt to get value for your money
8:56 am
uusue2
good work, jmc! I have almost 50k in loans from his AAS....
8:57 am
jmcnrick
economics and international business which is why he only dates fox news republicans :-(
8:57 am
welki
yes, sue, but i can tell you that my step-son (the one who's phd'ing at mcmasters) has done it all on his own, too
8:57 am
uusue2
but his dad never contributed anything to his support, so it was all on me...
8:57 am
jmcnrick
his dad died when he was 7 so it was all on me
8:58 am
uusue2
Well, good for him! I was on my own for graduate school, but not undergrad.
8:58 am
welki
conclusion: we all do (did) what we think (thought) best :)
8:58 am
uusue2
sorry to hear that, jmc, that is tough!
8:58 am
jmcnrick
i think what ever makes the most sense for your family is what it should be!
8:58 am
jmcnrick
exactly welki
8:58 am
uusue2
Indeed we do, welki, and there is no one right way to do things.
8:58 am

9:36 am
72 Temple Owl
so what do you thinkit was? stroke?
9:37 am
jesdraggon
so that's good. and the kidney failure/pyelonephritis/mystery ailment dog ate a bit this morning. not as much as i'd like, but any appetite is an improvement.

stidmama
I am somehow really flying through this grid
1:38 pm

Don't worry; the weather radar shows the heavy stuff is coming in less than an hour or so. But why is it that it had to let up a bit right after our dinner was cancelled?

3:07 pm
lil*monkey
Although now that my taxes are done, I have to tackle the spare room and clean it. UGH

3:12 pm
MollyL
You were talking about hybrids, weren't you?
3:12 pm
lil*monkey
LOL oh you crack me up! One of my co-workers said the same thing, she said that little car (is it called a Smart car?) looks like a Big Wheel
3:13 pm
MollyL
I think the "energy efficient" credit should extend to cars that get good gas mileage. That, I have.
3:13 pm
lil*monkey
yes, when my car poops out , hopefully not for a loooooooooooooong time, i would like to get a Toyota Prius, i think that's a hybrid and it's not teeny weeny
3:14 pm

3:14 pm
lil*monkey

3:14 pm
lil*monkey
if you use Turbo Tax, it will figure it out for you
3:14 pm
MollyL
Well, I had the old one for 12 years. No complaints. The old girl served me well. I use Tax Act and it figures all that stuff out for you too.

About hybrids - be careful what you read about how green they are or are not, and be aware that to do a fair comparison you have to look at similar life-cycle analyses for regular cars. Also, Molly, I have a Prius that I bought 8 years ago; it's not that new a technology (and I really love my car!!!). Rare earth elements aren't actually all that rare; China has cornered the world market by undercutting prices but we could mine them here just as well (it would cost a little more, mostly due to higher labor costs here, but you would save on transportation). Lecture mode off now :-)

I agree, crossy, and mining is a messy business wherever it takes place. Just saying that rare earths don't have to come from China, we actually have a good supply of them here.

you have to go into the options of each software program that is doing this and turn off auto updates,including the windows auto update

some of the updates require an automatic restart, Molly, so that would be my guess

when it updates the computer has to restart for some of them

Yeah, Sue, a restart, but not a shut down. And auto updates are supposed to be set for 3AM or some time when you usually are not using the computer.

He is angry, and doesn't really understand it (nor do I, really; it was very sudden). I think she and her son are seriously underestimating his ability to recover.

Sue, is the marriage over for good? Or is there some chance she will get wind of his recovery and try to come back?

uusue2
Well, that was my assumption about her, but I thought her son should know better (he is a PhD psychotherapist, after all)

nrkii
okay, red, thanks
7:31 pm
nrkii
my dad's best friend is here tonight, telling stories
7:31 pm
blueheron
I'm just here to chat, if anyone would like to.
7:32 pm
redturtlehead
Very nice. nrkii. I know its a hard tome.
7:32 pm
redturtlehead
errr time.
7:33 pm
Bugsaw
we are here to offer you a quiet place nrkki
7:34 pm
nrkii
I was hoping for a quiet night here, but it's not as quiet as I expected
7:34 pm
redturtlehead
hi blueh.
7:35 pm
redturtlehead
here in chog? or at home..
7:35 pm
Bugsaw
old stories can be healing so the time is right for some people
7:35 pm
bodz
life is a funny old game at times :)
7:36 pm
nrkii
at my mom's house
7:36 pm
redturtlehead
indeed bodz.
7:36 pm
Bugsaw
the grid is not too bad if you want to tuck your chin in and go for it
7:37 pm
redturtlehead
i have 23 left, but i dont use licety.
7:37 pm
nrkii
I'm down to 5
7:38 pm
bodz
nice going redturtlehead
7:38 pm
nrkii
Bugsaw, the stories are good, it's just that we've had SO many people in the house for the last several days, and I would love some quiet time to think
7:38 pm
nrkii
I'm used to being in my own house alone, without music or tv or anything, for a couple hours a night
7:38 pm
Bugsaw
hugs nrkii poofing
7:38 pm
redturtlehead
well, my rankings show that I dont use lickety. once in a while I do...especially when I want to finish.
7:39 pm
nrkii
night bugsaw, and thanks
7:39 pm
redturtlehead
It is hard nrkii, I find that a lot of that interaction can be exhausting.
7:39 pm
MollyL
Other than lots of people around (can be good, can be difficult) how are you doing Nrkii?
7:39 pm
nrkii
okay, except when I'm not okay :)
7:40 pm
nrkii
there were some pretty awful things that happened last week, and it's going to take me a lot of time to process and absorb those into my spirit, if that makes sense
7:40 pm
bodz
we all have our moments
7:41 pm
nrkii
but when it comes to the overall situation, I am doing okay
7:41 pm
redturtlehead
Very sorry nrkii. I hope you get a quiet moment soon...
7:42 pm
bodz
yup the quiet moments do help for sure
7:42 pm
MollyL
"Time to process and absorb those into my spirit"...oh yes...that makes sense to me.
7:42 pm
bodz
indeed mollyL
7:43 pm
nrkii
there were many times last week when I had to dig into reservoirs of strength that I didn't have any clue I had
7:44 pm
bodz
amazing how deep we can dig at times :)
7:44 pm
MollyL
I get that Nrkii. I had to do that after my husband died. Weird how the death of a loved one taps us into our unknown strengths.
7:45 pm
Jillyjill
evening all (or whatever time it is where you are)!
7:46 pm
Jillyjill
Everyone done with grid?

7:49 pm
Jillyjill
((nrkii)) our thoughts are with you
7:50 pm
bodz
short for normal
7:50 pm
nrkii
he was only 72, but he had had a couple of big medical setbacks in last couple of years
7:50 pm
nrkii
thanks so much
7:50 pm
Jillyjill
I can help red if you wish
7:50 pm
nrkii
he had always come back from them in the past, but this one was one too many for him
7:51 pm
redturtlehead
thanks bodz...
7:51 pm
bodz
another N is a gosh
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
i'm good jilly, no list so not sure what tp ask for....
7:52 pm
MollyL
Nrkii, I hope you get some quiet time soon, so you can work through what you need to work through. You know the whole Babble family has your back if you need to come here and vent. ((((Nrkii))))
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
thanks bodz!!! reading my mind.
7:52 pm
bodz
and the other n is nato.. and one of the letters go back one
7:52 pm
Jillyjill
n+out of control K***
7:52 pm
redturtlehead
I was surprised to see your post Nkrii, as I thought he was improving.
7:53 pm
Jillyjill
There are 3 na, no, no
7:53 pm
nrkii
red, his lungs improved from the pneumonia, but it turned out he was really malnourished and his protein levels had plummeted... he had nothing left in the tank
7:53 pm
bodz
that help with all the n's?
7:54 pm
nrkii
on Wednesday, my mom and I had to tell him that he probably would not make it
7:54 pm
bodz
brb i need to go to the little boys room
7:54 pm
redturtlehead
It did I am looking for the na still... thanks.
7:54 pm
nrkii
hardest thing I have ever done, and I hope to God it's the hardest thing I will ever have to do
7:54 pm
redturtlehead
nrkii, thats really awful. I can not imagine that.
7:54 pm
nrkii
NA = Like TA** New Mexico
7:55 pm
nrkii
red, that is the one thing from last week that is going to haunt me for a long time
7:55 pm
redturtlehead
thanks nkrii. I thought I had tried it.
7:55 pm
nrkii
why my mom picked me instead of either of my older brothers was unfathomable to me at the time
7:55 pm
redturtlehead
Nkrii, that would haunt me forever too, and I think I am sort of tough.
7:55 pm
nrkii
but I am so glad she did, because I don't know how either of them would have been able to handle it
7:56 pm
redturtlehead
I mean, in these matters, not to imply you are not tough.
7:57 pm
Jillyjill
Losing my dad was the hardest thing I've ever been thru....my heart is with you nrkii
7:57 pm
nrkii
you can only be so tough and still be human :)
7:58 pm
redturtlehead
:) big hugs to you girl, you have had a crazy difficult week.
7:58 pm
nrkii
thanks Jilly
7:59 pm
nrkii
thanks red, I am just so tired now... would like to sleep for a week
7:59 pm
nrkii
I better go
7:59 pm
nrkii
thanks for letting me stop in for support
7:59 pm
nrkii
I still need 5 words, but I needed to chat a little more than i needed to find words :)
7:59 pm
redturtlehead
indeed. will be thinking of you...
8:00 pm
nrkii
have a good night everyone... happy babbling!
8:00 pm
Jillyjill
niters nrkii
8:01 pm
bodz
its 2am here and i gotta be up at 10am... beer all gone... got a 500g of natural set yoghurt.. so i'm off to bed :) night all and happiness to one and all :)
8:02 pm
Jillyjill
Niters bodz...sweet dreams
8:02 pm
redturtlehead
Have a lovely sleep bodz. I hope you have a great day!
8:08 pm
uusue2
nrkii, don't know if you are still here, but was just reading through the chog - so sorry about your dad!
8:09 pm
uusue2
and hi again to all - I finished earlier but just came back to chat and see if anyone needs clues
8:09 pm
Jillyjill
hello again uusue!
8:09 pm
redturtlehead
uu hi, how is your own dad doing these days?
8:09 pm
uusue2
hi, red! he's doing really well, and will be coming home on Tuesday! He can hardly wait!
8:10 pm
redturtlehead
This is great news. How is the situation with his wife, or am I prying?
8:10 pm
uusue2
She's gone, red (and you're not prying; I've been talking about it all over babble :-)
8:11 pm
redturtlehead
I hope that ends up being OK news in the end. Maybe he shall meet a new flame....or not!
8:11 pm
uusue2
he's upset and bewildered, but is going on with his life; he's pretty independent anyway
8:12 pm
Jillyjill
I have a very young 91 year old Mom here....lol
8:12 pm
uusue2
don't think he'll be looking for anything more than companionship, red, he is 89 after all!
8:12 pm
redturtlehead
Good News. I would fe** bewildered with that going on too. I was shocked to read it...
8:12 pm
uusue2
although I suppose one never knows!!
8:12 pm
redturtlehead
My Grandma is 94...and healthy as a horse.
8:12 pm
Trifioso
hello my dear friends
8:12 pm
Jillyjill
I really do think mine will outlive me!!
8:12 pm
redturtlehead
but, whispers.... she can be a little annoying. She is an excellent cook.
8:12 pm
Jillyjill
HI trifi!!
8:12 pm
uusue2
He does have a lot of friends, which is good. He'll have plenty to keep him busy.
8:12 pm
redturtlehead
Hi Trif!
8:13 pm
Jillyjill
*whispers back* so can mine red
8:13 pm
uusue2
lol, red - he can be annoying too!
8:16 pm
redturtlehead
Hi trif.
8:18 pm
Trifioso
hey there red! how are you?
8:23 pm
redturtlehead
I;m good, you?
8:26 pm
balletslippers
hello all! Sorry to hear about those of you with sick or passed loved ones. I feel for you all.
8:31 pm
balletslippers
I guess the chat died. :P
8:35 pm
uusue2
hey, ballet - just got off the phone :-)
8:35 pm
balletslippers
no worries, uu... i'm just finishing the last few words
8:35 pm
balletslippers
how are you?
8:36 pm
uusue2
I'm good! Complicated things going on with my dad - I've put the story in my profile so I don't have to keep typing it in :-)
8:36 pm
Jillyjill
I'm back now too
8:36 pm
balletslippers
i'll read up on it, uu. I'm so sorry you're having troubles.
8:36 pm
balletslippers
Hi jilly. :)
8:36 pm
uusue2
hi again, jill!
8:37 pm
uusue2
he's actually doing remarkably well, and I'm off work for a couple of weeks to take care of him, so it's actually a bit relaxing for me (oddly enough...)
8:38 pm
balletslippers
well that's nice. A bright spot amidst the difficulties.
8:38 pm
uusue2
yes indeed!
8:38 pm
balletslippers
I'm actually highly concerned as of late about my grandmother. She's 81 and I see the signs of dementia or Alzheimer's. But she won't let us do anything about it.
8:39 pm
uusue2
oh, that's tough when the problems are mental - so hard to convince them that they need help!
8:40 pm
uusue2
fortunately my dad's issue are physical (well, that and the fact that his wife has left him); mentally he is as sharp as ever.
8:40 pm
balletslippers
I just feel awful about it as a few months before it came on, she asked if she could go ahead and move to assisted living. We all told her she was crazy. At the time she was the youngest 80 year old we'd ever seen. haha. But I think she foresaw the issue and was trying to preempt everything. But we convinced her not to.
8:41 pm
uusue2
tough call, ballet - but sometimes they do know best, even if we don't.
8:41 pm
balletslippers
It's so great when they keep their mental faculties. I think if I could only choose one, I'd prefer to keep my mental health when I grow old.
8:41 pm
Jillyjill
Amen to that ballet!!
8:41 pm
balletslippers
i see in your profile you have a physics background!
8:42 pm
balletslippers
my boyfriend is a physics major, currently looking at grad schools.
8:42 pm
uusue2
I do indeed! (foreground too, really)
8:42 pm
uusue2
Where is he looking? I can probably give some advice...
8:42 pm
uusue2
What field of physics is he interested in?
8:43 pm
balletslippers
MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Cornell, NC State.
8:43 pm
balletslippers
He's into condensed matter. Would like to do some particle physics on the side but he doesn't think you can do enough with it.
8:43 pm
uusue2
Ah, the elite! He must be doing very well. Good for him!
8:44 pm
balletslippers
He is doing swimmingly. I'm so proud of him. Though part of me thinks it might be a swift kick to his over-inflated ego if he had trouble getting in some of those schools! lol
8:44 pm
uusue2
My own field was experimental particle physics, although I am no longer actively involved in research at all; our particle physics groups are still quite busy, though.
8:44 pm
uusue2
But the bulk of our faculty are doing condensed matter physics as well. Lots of exciting new work there!
8:44 pm
balletslippers
now what does experimental particle physics entail? What kinds of things were you researching?
8:45 pm
godthaab
uusue, did you do String Theory, that sort of thing?
8:45 pm
uusue2
My dissertation was on neutrinos (looking at the neutrinos coming from muon decay); more recently I have done experiments at Fermilab, the ill-fated SSC, and CERN.
8:46 pm
uusue2
godt, no, I was an experimentalist, not a theorist; no experiments to do on string theory yet.
8:46 pm
godthaab
Very Cool! What did you do at CERN?
8:46 pm
balletslippers
Yeah, it's all greek to me! But I appreciate the depth of knowledge and intellect it takes to explore these realms and the wonderful benefit they give the world as well.
8:46 pm
uusue2
I was part of the ATLAS experiment at CERN; it is finally taking data now although when I was there we were doing design and simulation work.
8:47 pm
uusue2
I was doing calculations of low-energy neutron backgrounds; the equipment had to be designed to take data (efficiently) in a very difficult environment.
8:48 pm
balletslippers
I just mentioned you to my boyfriend, uu. He is very impressed with your work at CERN!
8:48 pm
godthaab
Wow! That is impressive! I have seen pictures of the tunnel (?) and it looks very interesting.
8:49 pm
uusue2
ballet - MIT, Stanford, and Harvard are extremely selective; Cornell as well although slightly less so. They take the cream of the crop worldwide.
8:49 pm
balletslippers
He's curious about insider info about that super collider! loll
8:49 pm
uusue2
NC state I presume is his safety school :-)
8:49 pm
uusue2
My own PhD is from Yale...
8:50 pm
balletslippers
yeah. and he's looking into the applied engineering dept at Cornell instead of the physics dept. It's a tad easier.
8:50 pm
balletslippers
I love running into people I can connect with on these levels! So exciting for me!
8:50 pm
godthaab
What are the low-energy neutron backgrounds?
8:50 pm
uusue2
The super collider was a great project; we all worked very hard on it, but I think it was doomed as soon as they made a site selection (before that everybody wanted it, but once it was in a particular place everybody else was jealous).
8:51 pm
uusue2
godt, during high-energy proton collisions we are interested in studying rare events (they are the most interesting).
8:51 pm
godthaab
Is that why it was doomed?
8:52 pm
uusue2
But most of the time any collisions that take place produce thousands of low-energy, not very interesting particles
8:52 pm
godthaab
Were you looking at quarks?
8:52 pm
balletslippers
That's too funny about the selecting a site for the super-collider.
8:53 pm
uusue2
(not interesting because we've already studied them - nothing new to learn). In particular, they produce seas of neutrons that cause a lot of noise in the detectors, so we had to design some pretty fancy shielding to get rid of them.
8:53 pm
uusue2
Can't look at quarks directly, as they only occur in bound states (proton-like things called baryons or short-lived things called mesons) but we were certainly studying their properties.
8:54 pm
uusue2
godt, I think that is indeed why it was doomed; it lost its political base. too bad for US science, IMHO.
8:55 pm
uusue2
Dear me, I do seem to be monopolizing the chog!
8:55 pm
godthaab
Did you "see" quarks, or the effects of them. I think it was Fenyman who likened quarks to bubbles in a glass of beer (?)
8:55 pm
balletslippers
no no, it's interesting and the boyfriend is all excited that I've run into you!
8:55 pm
godthaab
Hey! Quantum Physics is neat stuff!
8:55 pm
uusue2
No, we just see trails of particles that are made of quarks, not even the individual ones. Beer bubbles are much more real :-)
8:56 pm
godthaab
So you can't identify a particular quark, or does each one have its own sort of trail?
8:56 pm
uusue2
But I do have to step out in a minute - I do online tutoring (trying to make a few extra $$$) and my shift starts shortly (boy, try to say that three times fast!)
8:57 pm
balletslippers
bye for now uu
8:57 pm
balletslippers
enjoy your tutoring!
8:57 pm
mom23
on a non-science note, anyone have a clue for the s5/12? even if it comes with a fish?
8:57 pm
uusue2
no, you can't. You can measure the momentum of charged particles, and use conservation of energy and momentum to reconstruct where they came from but it's all indirect.
8:57 pm
Jillyjill
bye uusue
8:57 pm
balletslippers
there are a few s 5/12, mom. which one do you need?
8:58 pm
dcseain
Hi, JJ, mom23, ballet, and hasta uusue

Jillyjill
sa+frozen water
8:58 pm
balletslippers
sa + frozen water, mom
8:59 pm
dcseain
yes. Big new due to wind is that the Nat'l Xmas Tree snapped at the base. This was the 3rd tree since they first planted one in 1978. A new one will be planted in the spring.
8:59 pm
balletslippers
i have nine left and they are all 4's and 5's. haha!
8:59 pm
dcseain
i saw several downed trees through Great Falls, VA yesterday, too.
9:00 pm
Jillyjill
I read about the National tree in the paper
9:00 pm
Jillyjill
yay ballet...you go girl!
9:01 pm

8 left w/o clues - trying...
9:02 pm
balletslippers
i'm in about the same spot, word
9:02 pm
balletslippers
it would be fantastic to finish a grid without clues! I've never done it...
9:02 pm
dcseain
oooh, anyone have suggestions for a site with heated bunk rooms and camping facilities and a kitchen that could be hired for private events in NY/New England/North New Jersy/NE PA?
9:02 pm
dcseain
go, go word!
9:03 pm
wordlover
me neither - i usually go to lickety and then feel like a doofus for some of those i missed
9:03 pm
balletslippers
i don't know of anything like that dc.
9:03 pm
mom23
neither have I, ballet! don't know what I'd do w/o lickety's list and clues!
9:03 pm
balletslippers
i love lickety! :)
9:04 pm
mom23
Tk goodness he has a wife willing to share!
9:05 pm
dcseain
thanks, ballet, t'was worth asking :)
9:05 pm
balletslippers
hehe only just now got the two i's :P
9:05 pm
wordlover
felt silly after i got those...sometimes i am too far in the weeds to see the "real" words
9:06 pm
godthaab
FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!
9:06 pm
balletslippers
agreed, word.
9:06 pm
Jillyjill
stepped away, congrats Mom!!

i'm hoping for one more pretty snowfall before the winter ends... but then again, we don't get that thick blanket you have to dig through.

we've had warm weather for the past few days. But that's about how it goes here. The weather likes to tease you as it switches seasons.

10:17 pm
m9f9l
oh I'll definitely wear a t! I'm LDS

Right now I am counting the days until I am done with student teaching. June 3. That is... assuming I get my assignment soon! They are having a hard time finding teachers to help us, considering there are really HIGH STAKES tests that happen 2/3 of the way through our student teaching.
10:26 pm
m9f9l
you mean teachers that will take students in their classrooms?
10:26 pm
m9f9l
I'd think they'd really welcome the help!
10:26 pm

good going pav
10:27 pm
PAV3
can I help anyone?
10:27 pm
PAV3
or can I ask a question for a common sense response?
10:27 pm
m9f9l
we're done. :-)
10:27 pm
m9f9l
oh... I like common sense!
10:27 pm
stidmama
the problem is, the student teachers are also supposed to take the lead and actually teach. We're not just an extra set of hands and eyes. And that is a scary thing when you have nurtured the children through the year, to give them to someone who is still fairly new.
10:28 pm
stidmama
that is an interesting band, m
10:28 pm
stidmama
a bit louder than I normally listen to, but not overly horrible.
10:28 pm
m9f9l
well there's a compliment... I think?
10:28 pm
stidmama
how common does the sense need to be PAV? (go for it)
10:29 pm
stidmama
well, it's hard for me to judge music like that because I don't care much for the genre
10:29 pm
stidmama
I avoid percussive music
10:29 pm
m9f9l
ah. and we all need it to get us going here..
10:30 pm
m9f9l
do you like violin?
10:31 pm
PAV3
I am on our Homeowners' Board of Directors, and we're supposed to be overseeing the maintenance and operation of the property. two of the sitting directors were charged with violations and our election is coming up next Mon 28th. They put out a flyer which tried to bad mouth me but it backfired..so now they've put out a new one omitting their stupidity, but still trying to ride on my coattails...I didn't givethem permission to do so when they asked...so do I breate them publicly or just go behind their backs as they've tried with me and work to get them off the board?
10:32 pm
m9f9l
yikes.. what is it with homeowner associations? My friend was on one at her condos and the politics were nasty there too
10:32 pm
stidmama
work to get them off the board, but do so in a way that doesn't offend their friends and relations -- unless you think you won't need to work with them in the future?
10:33 pm
m9f9l
how many homes under the board?
10:33 pm
stidmama
I refused to consider any homes that had anything similar to a homeowner's association when we were looking. I detest the petty politics of organizations.
10:34 pm
m9f9l
since you said "property" I assume it's condos?
10:34 pm
PAV3
it's just these two amongst a slate of 11 vying for 7 seats...they included three others who want nothing to do with the also...89 units, about half are not eleigible to vote because of not paying dues or begin foreclosed...
10:35 pm
PAV3
well, I actually didn't want a single family home when I was buying..I liked living in the dorms as an undergrad, and I hated living in apts not knowing who my neighbor was or growing attached to people who moved away...
10:35 pm
m9f9l
I say host a potluck and then NICELY say your piece during mingling..LOL
10:35 pm
stidmama
Basically, PAV I think I would ignore the flyers -- the directors have been shown to be less than honorable by their actions. Keep copies of the flyers though in case you need them in the future... establish yourself as a person of integrity, and let the others hang themselves.
10:35 pm
stidmama
too bad you have such poor participation among the members, though PAV. Hard to maintain a set of condos when some of the owners don't help pay for the upkeep.
10:36 pm
PAV3
that's what I did with the first flyer, but since they asked BEFORE posting the second...I don't want those who are impressionable to think I'm condoning their views...
10:36 pm
stidmama
anyway, I really do have to head out. *wanders off, shaking head at people who can live so "cheek to jowl" with others (my own 1-acre yard is a little smallish...)........
10:37 pm
m9f9l
You could post a notice saying that you were not associated with second flyer?
10:37 pm
PAV3
that's the drawback for condos...empty units don't pay, and empty headed owners don't pay either
10:37 pm
PAV3
yeah, I think it'll be the opposing flyer..
10:38 pm
PAV3
thanks Stid! and m9!
10:38 pm
m9f9l
you could always post your icon pic with your retraction.. that will get noticed!LOL
10:39 pm
m9f9l
(and of course I'm being silly.. don't do that!LOL)
10:39 pm
PAV3
"JOIN ME IN HAWAII" with this guy...let's sell our condos so these floosies can run an empty plot...too subtle?
10:41 pm
PAV3
I'll have to get together with the others to formulate a plan...
10:41 pm
m9f9l
ok. I'm gone now. *poof* good luck PAV!
