we went out to lunch yesterday. Doctor said his chest is clear and now he just has to gain weight and walk walk walk! No more anti-phlebitis injections or visits from the nurse, either.
2:59 am

He gets very tired but I guess he's out of the woods and has enough energy left to give me a hard time!

That is great Ruby
2:59 am

oh wow! That is a huge improvement, rubyfoo! And I bet he is happy he can go out again.
2:59 am
rubyfoo

I've invited his daughter to visit in March, so, hopefuly, his mood will improve
3:00 am

if he is out of the woods, there is no need anymore to not stand up for yourself, rubyfoo. Please don't let him walk over you.
3:00 am

when he gets nasty now, I just walk away.
3:01 am
rubyfoo

wow, this is a nasty little grid! I'm hoping for a big juicy one with lots of s's and t's!

6:48 am

Now see, if I'm an employer, I want someone jocular. Who wants a bunch of bland personalities working for them?
6:49 am

it actually quite hurt my feelings, gramma. my ability to make someone laugh in a crappy situation is what I pretty much thank god for the most.
6:50 am

I'm sorry, Trif. I'm often inappropriately jocular
6:50 am

apparently, so am I, so you and I will have to sit next to each other at the world wide gathering of babblers, and we will have a TIME!

being jocular is a good thing - it makes lfe feel so much better when you have jocular work colleagues
6:51 am
MollyL

I agree Kaz.
6:52 am
Trifioso

I think they are all just way sensitive because of the kids we work with. on my side, I think if I can get a kid to stop grumping and do their work, rules can be bent a little.
6:53 am
Trifioso

example: I have one boy who really struggles with the rules of phonics, so we do a lot of imaging words with him, etc. He did NOT want to work at all. I started with the word "boost" and had him switch up letters until it spelled "boobs" and at that point he was laughing his head off, and saying "give me another one!" and totally engaged in the exercise, and it was so fun. and totally against the rules.
6:54 am

We are snowed in... and likely to be stuck for a couple days. Thankfully it only started to stick after we were all home yesterday! So we woke to a white wonderland and canceled school.
1:42 pm
periwinkle

you can keep the snow thre stiddy. it snowed here on Tues and I had to shovell again. left wrist is really hurting
1:42 pm
stidmama

it's the first significant snowfall since November, and I am so grateful it snowed before the temps fell, so all my bulbs and corms are insulated from the sub-freezing temps
1:42 pm
stidmama

owie peri. you could pack the wrist with snow to reduce inflammation...
1:43 pm
periwinkle

I am dealing with it at the moment
1:43 pm
stidmama

well, I hope it feels better fast. Nothing slows down a life than a joint in pain.
1:44 pm
periwinkle

if it does not, will make a dr. appt.
1:44 pm
stidmama

good thinking.
1:45 pm
periwinkle

it is the left and I am right handed
1:45 pm
stidmama

I whacked my left foot really hard last night, possibly a small fracture on the pinkie toe -- but not much a doc would do beyond what I am doing (resting it, and trying to be patient). I have a huge dark bruise on the side of my foot, but it doesn't actually hurt unless I move it.
1:46 pm
stidmama

that's fortunate, peri -- I learned I was ambidextrous when I hurt my right wrist in high school and managed to keep taking notes and such with my left hand. I don't have great handwriting no matter which hand I use... LOL
1:46 pm
periwinkle

I think that happened to me a few years again. hurt for a while but eventually healed itself
1:46 pm

1:47 pm

13 left and tired of this grid. going to take marigold out for an overdue birtday dinner tonight
1:47 pm

I know... but that explains why I am better at darts with the left hand and do well either side in archery. Actually, I used to get confused when I played baseball -- which way to stand for batting.
1:47 pm

oh, that will be so nice! tell her hello for us?

I will. she took me to a nice place for dinner on Sun

we had an adventure with the gas furnace this week. Short version: needed a repair, parts had to be ordered, two days WITHOUT HEAT! - now they're recommending a complete new system - looking over estimates, ugh!
3:24 pm
uusue2

ow, jbv!
3:24 pm

thank you, got it
3:24 pm

3:25 pm
JBV

yes, system is working but they're saying it's a temporary fix, could go again at any time - it's not just sales talk - my brother-in-law was here and his expert opinion concurs
3:25 pm
uusue2

dang those computer birds, cos!!
3:25 pm
wordlover

that happened to us in florida in july! needed a new AC - funny how they tell you they need a new heater in winter and a new AC in summer - and youre willing to say, "yes, please!" urgh
3:26 pm
cosdem

"cuer" should be as well... people who use cued sign language are called "cuer"
3:26 pm
uusue2

ah, so you really do need a new one. bummer.
3:26 pm
JBV

worse than that, wordlover - they're telling me I need a complete HVAC (heating and air conditioning) - otherwise it would be two separate jobs, with a higher cost (for labor, permits, etc) so I might as well do the whole thing
3:27 pm
JBV

furnace is very old (32 years), AC is 15
3:27 pm
uusue2

if you can afford it, jbv, I would recommend looking into a geothermal heat pump - they are about 2x as expensive up front (but will do both heat and air), but should pay for itself in 4-5 years (less if gas and oil prices continue to rise)
3:27 pm
JBV

this is my first big challenge without my husband who would normally handle these things
3:28 pm
JBV

2x as expensive is not good right now, sue - estimates are coming in between $8 and $10 K
3:28 pm
uusue2

I had a friend who put in such a heat pump; she said that if she put a solar panel on her roof she could go completely off the grid (not that you'd want to do that, but that shows how little power it uses)
3:29 pm
mich_pdx

jbv, where do you live? many places have incentives that will help with the cost of more efficient heating systems
3:29 pm
JBV

It's too soon to decide but I may not remain in this house for 5 more years - lots of unknowns
3:29 pm
uusue2

yes, difficult decision all around :-(
3:30 pm
JBV

true, mich - they reviewed the "incentives" - there are rebates but they only apply to the more expensive systems, so in the end the cost is about the same
3:30 pm
mich_pdx

yes, that is the down-side. the upside is lower fuel bills, and it often helps a lot with resale value
3:30 pm
phandmd

if implode and explode are words, why can't plode be a word?
3:31 pm
JBV

well, considering I'm replacing a 32-year-old system, I will see efficiency benefits no matter what.
3:31 pm
uusue2

if you are thinking of selling in the next several years, a highly efficient system could be a plus (make the place more attractive)
3:31 pm
JBV

I trust my brother-in-law a lot - he's an engineer and a real do-it=yourselfer can build/fix/invent anything, he's our go-to guy
3:31 pm

haha phan i agree

sounds good, jbv - it helps to have more than one person making a decision like this.

Do you need to start looking around? you seem to have quite a few bad dyas there - and it just isn't worth it
4:45 pm
hurshy

well the trouble is
4:45 pm
hurshy

on tuesday i thought everything was fixed
4:45 pm
hurshy

that i had got the transfer i wanted and that things were going to be good
4:46 pm
hurshy

and then today i had to take a lot of crap as a result of the changes that i thought were happening
4:46 pm
uusue2

uh oh....
4:47 pm
hurshy

and then at the end of the day i got an email which suggests that i went through today's crap for nothing at all, because i may be physically moving but keeping all my old responsibilities, which would mean no reduction in misery from the torture of current supervisor.
4:47 pm
uusue2

oh, crap. Does the physical move at least mean that the misery comes less directly?
4:48 pm
hurshy

no, she mostly causes misery via email anyway.
4:48 pm

mmm - sounds like you should start looking around for another job then - won't hurt to look anyway

well the trouble is, you have my supervisor... her boss, who is the current director... the incoming director... the director above both of them... and his business mangager... and none of them appear to be on the same page about what exactly is happening
4:49 pm
jillibus

with a shot of hot rum in it

that sentence may have been confusing. oh well.
4:56 pm

not confusing, hursh -- we get the picture and it stinks
4:57 pm
uusue2

not at all, hursh. I've seen similar things happen at the university.
4:59 pm
hurshy

it's so frustrating, there are lots of things i could DO, but there's not a lot i could get hired to do, if you see what i mean. i would have to get some rubber stamping first and i haven't got the money or time to get them right now, my husband is in school.
4:59 pm

right - you have the skills but not the credentials, yes?

being young sucks. the older people who secured their careers back when the economy was good are being protected, leaving the younger folks not only with less prospect of advancement but also with even suckier situations. medicare and social security aren't going to be around when i'm old, who are we kidding. the economy shows no prospect of ever improving whatsoever. everyone has to be old sometime, and i'm saying right now is better than later. tell me how i'm wrong?

welki, tough times to save though, now. now don't bogart that cabnan boy :P
5:29 pm
welki

hursh, it's always rough .. we had the same concerns as you. things will work out
5:29 pm
72 Temple Owl

hurshy, feds are hiring big time, check it out. every career that exists in the private sector exists in fed govt.
5:30 pm
welki

(did i make a pb entry?)
5:30 pm
cgw8

Fireworks. :)
5:30 pm
welki

<-- always points folks toward government work, too
5:30 pm
hurshy

i guess i do agree that things have a chance of working out in the long run. it's just hard to see the forest for the trees, because right now my options are limited, i have to live where i live until my husband finishes his degree, so another 3-4 years.
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

at least to ride out the tough times.
5:30 pm
jillibus

congrats, cgw
5:31 pm

Thanks. :)

dinner time for me, too - see you later and good luck with the grid
5:31 pm
welki

in the broad scope, 3-4 years may very well be worth the wait. hard to see beyond the "now"" i'll bet
5:31 pm
cgw8

Bye, all. *poof*
5:31 pm
hurshy

how can the feds be hiring big time when all i keep hearing about is republicans cutting everything?!? but if they are, where does one go to look at the options?
5:32 pm
jillibus

what is your husband studying, hursh?
5:32 pm
hurshy

i should mention that that's 3-4 MORE years, we've already been here for almost 3. he's studying comparative literature.
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl

hurshy: because they had frozen hirng for so many years, that retirement outpaced hiring.
5:32 pm
welki

because many people are retiring - even with hiring cuts, positions need to be filled
5:33 pm
hurshy

so is there a central website with all the postings?
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

they are not hiring one for one, but still need to hire.
5:33 pm
jillibus

so he will be teaching when all is done?
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

yes hurshy. usajobs.gov
5:34 pm
welki

try the feds, try the state, try municipal ... try it all
5:34 pm
hurshy

yes, most likely teaching. but since it involves multiple languages, there are also other things he could do with that (like work for the government, dealing with russia, for instance!)
5:34 pm
hurshy

thanks, guys, i'll check that out.
5:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

OMG the libyans used a dating website to do their political work because other sites were censored!
5:40 pm

hi all -- I took a little break so missed your arrival -- dfm has a list and so does FMitch. Dfm posted his about an hour after the flip last night.
6:14 pm
jillibus

May I suggest that when you see list-makers online, you put them in your My Friends -- then you can always refer back to them there.
6:15 pm
jillibus

I wonder if craftylady got the clues I gave at 5:48.
6:16 pm

6:26 pm

I only saw one patch of snowdrops in town
last Friday and they are covered again.
6:27 pm

Our roads are nasty right now...but I'm in for the night. So glad I live in town, only 2 miles from work.
6:27 pm

I have lots of snowdrops and crocuses and the daffs are poking up well through the snow -- we didn't get a lot.

Hey Nef
6:58 pm

I love TCM. There is nothing like a great classic movie. One of my goals is to start collecting my favorites. Gaslight, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, etc.
6:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I will be very happy in the senior home with my TCM.
6:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Myrna Loy rocks.

7:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I am recording it now. Did you see Elmer gantry with Burt Lancaster?
7:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I never could understand why they remake great movies. What was Sabrina without Audrey Hepburn? What was Born Yesterday without Judy Holliday? WHy not just re-release them and let people see how great they were?
7:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Next they'll re-make casablanca with Tom Cruise.
7:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Citizen Kane with Bruce Willis.
7:09 pm

7:11 pm

7:12 pm

Of course, the 1950 "Star is Born" was a remake, and it was great.
7:12 pm

-4C, its not so bad in the grand scheme i guess, but we just got warmer in the UK, so its like winter is just continuing on for us.
7:20 pm

bye kap hi hursh hi red, did you see the shuttle launch?
7:26 pm
redturtlehead

I forgot. It did come right over the hospital. But to be honest its really humid and about to rain, so I probably would not have seen anything anyway.
7:27 pm
redturtlehead

How is everything up North?
7:28 pm
redturtlehead

oh down to 19!
7:28 pm
MollyL

It's kind of strange how riveted we used to be when a space craft launched, and now we are collectively "meh" about it.
7:29 pm
Krista

It's sad, isn't it, Molly. I had my kids watch and had to explain why it was cool. :/
7:29 pm
72 Temple Owl

it is jus tthat particular spacecraft that is retiring?
7:30 pm
Krista

All the shuttles have one more launch. This was Discover's last.
7:31 pm
Krista

Discovery
7:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

is there anything to replace them?
7:33 pm
rururocks

yeah.. all the homeless people who need to eat
7:34 pm
redturtlehead

There is no plan to replace them or to continue the space shuttle program, essentially. it was one of the big sticking points her ein Florida...lots of ppl on space coast out of jobs.
7:34 pm
Krista

they will hitch a ride to the space station with Russians, then with commercial flights
7:35 pm
Krista

Hi ruru
7:35 pm

hi krista
7:35 pm

I think the space program is an incredible waste of money
7:36 pm
redturtlehead

I have no opinion on it.
7:36 pm
redturtlehead

but I have enjoyed visiting the Space Center.
7:37 pm
Krista

I think it's interesting, and important to stay competitive with other nations in that area, but I have to agree. I hate hearing about populating the moon, etc. We can't take care of this planet, why do we think we should start ruining others.

we're still getting occasional snow, but it's tapering way off. Since it was so warm yesterday, the residual heat in the roads and soil helped melt some of it off.
8:28 pm

it snowed here last night...all the schools were closed for today...but the snow was gone by noon...
8:28 pm
Jillyjill

Not sure if it's snowing or just blowing snow around.brrrrrrr...7 degrees here
8:28 pm

no LBD, but it's coming together. I will be DONE by Tuesday. Today I worked on it some, did some work for the science strand and also started getting caught up on some work for the differentiated instruction/special ed component
8:29 pm
Pinikula

...and now it's wet and more snow is expected with a temperature drop, so tomorrow morning should be really interesting...all icey and everything...
8:29 pm
Pinikula

...I think I'll stay home.
8:29 pm
stidmama

schools were closed today here, too, much to the boys' delight. I think tomorrow there will be a delay, but suspect school will be open. Whether we can get our own kids there (or me to the college) is another story.
