crossy, he keeps on keeping on with this 'man'

8:12 am

crosshair

i had an employer like that,he owed me 6,000 dollars at time of court date,he was ordered to pay inc my court costs to the tune of $11,000.00 ,he declared bankruptcy and we went on the bankruptcy list,the ontario govt was at the top of the list,every untility was numbers 2 to about 25,i am about 40 on the list to be paid.court late charges pile up over the years,he now owes me as of last year over one hundred thousand including penaltys,he skips the country and goes back to his native india where he cannot be found...i still get no money..this is justice

8:14 am

crosshair

i feel your pain mrp..i have been there

8:15 am

mrpresident

some people believe love can conquer anything, even death... but I don't want to go home right now....all I can taste is this moment.
I don't want to cost lickety his live for this 'man'... crook

8:19 am

crosshair

mrp..go home,i am sure you are his rock like my victoria is mine and that he is your staff to lean on in tough times,stay firm,keep love and you will get through..i have been through what i just typed,3 cancers,hysterectomy for the wife,family death..on and on.give your strength to each other because 2 are stronger than one

8:21 am

mrpresident

same is happening here crossy... but it is difficult when one doesn't talk to the other out of shame, fear, defeat, embarassment, failure??
Hard to swallow that massive pill I guess

8:23 am

crosshair

a man can be ten times what he would otherwise be with a good woman beside him..and talk.be there to listen if he wished to talk.share encouragements.i was so ill with my chemo i could not even get up off the cough to speak or talk,but i felt m wifes presence there and gathered strength just from her aura and being there

8:23 am

crosshair

couch

8:25 am

crosshair

he is hamed,as i am,it is pride and i felt less of a man,a failure unable to provide for my family while my wife worked and shouldered all the burdens and my illness,but she was strong..and you are strong i know it..she nursed me through my cancer and when the time was right and i became able,i nursed her through her hysterectomy one month later

8:25 am

crosshair

shamed

8:26 am

mrpresident

crossy, he kept things from me... the trust is the main issue... I am now going through f***ing crap medically and it took away a serious breach of my loyalty and devotion to keeping us communicating.... hell, life can throw you a nasty curve ball at time and hit you where it hurts the most

8:27 am

crosshair

i am so sorry mrp:((

8:27 am

mrpresident

yeah, not as sorry as I am! :((

8:28 am

crosshair

i try to tell my mrs everything,when i am good,bad in pain,finances.. we talk about everything

8:28 am

crosshair

if he withheld due to decit it can be bad,but if it was shame or pride,or not wanting you to worry....

8:30 am

mrpresident

i hope we are the only persons in this conversation... would be embarassed otherwise... thank you for being so understanding. being through what you have been through gives me insight and helps so much **hugs**

8:30 am

mrpresident

he didn't want me to worry, and his boss was deceiving him

8:30 am

crosshair

i am sorry mrp..these are private things and i should not ask you to air it here (((MRP)))

8:31 am

mrpresident

you have read the website... he is doing that to my husband now and convincing him it is all just vindictive behaviour

8:31 am

if you wish to just talk or vent you can mail me at p.a.melbourne@gmail.com

8:31 am

crossy, talking to you has settled my nerves... thank you so much!!

8:37 am

Riverdance

(((mrp))) lots of love with babble friends...I have needed it as well

8:38 am

mrpresident

I guess my lowest point was finding out in the same day that i had cancer, a dangerous stalker, and only $44 left in the bank

8:38 am

mrpresident

it tends to put one in the pit of hell... and not want to crawl out in fear of hurting others (especially my children)

8:39 am

Riverdance

sounds like you have hit bottom...no where else to go but up ....

8:40 am

Riverdance

boss is back...sorry must go again...be strong mrp

8:40 am

crosshair

and that is exactly what was happening to lickety ,he was being decieved at work,the boss was sugar coating things he fell for it and was shamed he did not want to crawl out and hurt his loved ones

8:42 am

crosshair

stay strong for each other,do not let adversity put a wall between and wrestle those sharks together with a laugh and a can of fosters in each hand

8:42 am

8:43 am

mrpresident

hey, I have found out that I have amazing friends, and pissed off the so called 'friends' that were damaging me... it was a very precarious situation, but I got rid of these so called 'friends' who can effect my life in my neighbourhood greatly.
I decided not to be scared of them, but confront them and rid them from my life... it took a huge load off my shoulders and I am not looking back.
Unfortunately, they bitched back and I found out stuff I didn't 'need' to know.

8:44 am

mrpresident

thanks sue! **hugs**

8:44 am

crosshair

get rid of the baggage good for you mrp! and ignore the scuttlebutt

8:45 am

crosshair

wife and i live only for each other and our son,we do not care what others think about how we live what we eat or wear we ignore all gossip,if someone does not care for what we are then to hell with them!

8:45 am

uusue2

I found that out too when I divorced my second husband, who is a sociopath (not dangerous but has no concept of trust or truth) - some people I thought were friends believed the things he was saying about me, and I didn't need them in my life - the people who really knew me knew what was true

8:46 am

mrpresident

crossy, the baggage I dumped was a scary mole! of course she has rubbished me, but just showing her colours.

8:46 am

mrpresident

too right crossy... to hell with them!

8:46 am

uusue2

and you will find the same, mrp - the people who really know you will know what is true {{{{{{{{{{mrp}}}}}}}}}

8:47 am

mrpresident

sue, am finding my real friends through all this... amazed by how close they really are to me

8:47 am

uusue2

anyway, just got off the phone with my dad, he is doing really well! must off to shower now, bbs!!

8:48 am

mrpresident

I was blind to how much they cared for me... now I am ashamed for not seeing it and making amends for it by taking all my energy and time to get back on track with them. It has been wonderful

8:48 am

mrpresident

sue, glad dad is doing well! see you soon hun **hugs**

8:49 am

mrpresident

and crossy! thank you again!! **hugs**

geez, i can't believe i almost missed the volcano!

thx, molly - I've seen several partial solar eclipses but never a total one - on my bucket list :-)

10:01 am

close for the first one, but plural, and ro**

10:01 am

rubyfoo

and plural

10:01 am

MollyL

Must be some Indian bread I've never heard of.

10:02 am

MollyL

There is no double A

10:02 am

uusue2

gee, that one always reminds me of pot roast, ruby!

10:02 am

uusue2

10:02 am

rubyfoo

the only one I really saw was in Princeton in '68 and we had a priest on hand (another resident/scholar) and he said a prayer

10:03 am

rubyfoo

like the Japanese gate, but backwards

10:03 am

uusue2

Wasn't that one a partial, ruby? it was in northern NJ where I was, I think (and it was cloudy), if it's the one I'm thinking of

10:03 am

we set up a telescope, focused on a piece of white paper and it was total. The birds all roosted; it was wonderful

10:05 am

I must have been just outside the totality limit. bummer.

I have to go make dinner for Mr. Grumpy and the pups

ruby, could it have been 1970? there wasn't one in NJ in 1968...

10:09 am

uusue2

I was in MA for that one and missed the line of totality. bummer again. A friend of mine who was majoring in astronomy drove to Nova Scotia to see it...

10:10 am

Sue there is an article on Yahoo about tasty gluten free food, did you see it?

10:27 am

uusue2

not yet, molly, but I will look for it! I get a lot of gluten-free news feeds on my facebook, too.

10:28 am

MollyL

I was wondering how "tasty" that pizza really is.

10:30 am

uusue2

we have gotten a couple of different brands of gluten free pizza, and Frank really likes them (I don't eat them because they are expensive and I don't need them)

10:34 am

MollyL

The one they mention in the article is Isabelle's. And I learned something, I didn't know they made flour from garbonzo and fava beans. That's cool.

10:35 am

rururocks

that's too hummus.. er I mean much

10:35 am

inge

10:37 am

MollyL

I have actually grown to like hummus. Something I thought I would never acquire a taste for. Maybe it's all that garlic and hot sauce I put in it.

10:37 am

uusue2

don't know if we've tried that one, molly; I know we've tried Glutino and a local bakery (in Rock Island)

lbd, I am team-teaching physics 1 and calculus 1 with a math professor this fall - I am really looking forward to it as coordinating the classes will be very important to the students (it would be ideal if they took calculus 1 first but a lot of them take the courses at the same time)

11:54 am

lbdawger

UU, that sounds like fun and a lot of work to coordinate the two subjects. but i bet the students will learn a lot from seeing how the two relate

11:54 am

i used to cringe when i'd get prospective education majors in my office who'd complain about having to take math..."what do i need math for, i'm going to teach-----"

there's a 20?

I am a math idiot.

11:57 am

MollyL

<---- Sits in the math idiot corner with Kap

11:58 am

uusue2

one of the changes I would like to see is for elementary education majors to take at least one science class - in IL they have to take one course about how to teach science but no course with any actual science content

11:58 am

Haz1558

I can add, multiply, subtract and divide. Beyond that my eyes glaze over.

11:58 am

lbdawger

more than likely you feel that way because you were taught by someone who was also a math idiot.

11:58 am

uusue2

my point exactly, lbd!

11:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can't do long division, or subtract numbers from numbers that have too many zeroes in them.

11:59 am

lbdawger

the elementary teachers here have to take basic science as part of their core requirements, as well as science for elem teachers.

11:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

Well, the other kids seemed to learn math in the same classes I was in...

11:59 am

72 Temple Owl

ty, does it prefix another grid word?

11:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

New Math. Remember New Math? Remember Tom Lehrer?

11:59 am

Haz1558

No, I think there has to be a recognition that some people just don't get maths. It's not interesting to them, it's not relevant to them and it's just a huge turn-off to be told 'it was your teacher's fault'. My teachers were good teachers, I just had no aptitude for the subject.

12:00 pm

lbdawger

they probably had someone who gave them confidence to do the math...a tutor, family member...

12:00 pm

MollyL

Oh yes Haz, I can relate to the eyes glazing over. Especially when someone mentions something like binomial expansion.

12:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

i remember tom lehrer

12:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I repeat- I am a math idiot. I could probably have learned it better if there weren't so many numbers.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

an10 is an advert for an8/40 - begins with latin before.

lbdawger

that is true too, Haz. I'm dyscalculic. when i'm frustrated, tired or otherwise not "fresh" the numbers are just squiggles

12:01 pm

actually i heard of a more recent teacher who has developed methods whereby any child can learn math - he is having great success.

12:02 pm

MollyL

Ding!! TO has discovered the meaning of pi!!!

12:02 pm

hurshy

i had long been convinced that some people just had no aptitude, from tutoring students myself, but after i heard about this my belief was shaken

12:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Fibonacci sequences are sort of cool. What a life he must have had, counting seeds and leaf veins and butterfly patterns. That's what they did before the internet.

12:02 pm

lbdawger

but i've learned that math can be relevent and even fun! of course it helps to have a lot of math buddies who know how to explain things so i don't have to be stephen hawking to relate

I think applications are crucial - many students won't see the point of learning something that doesn't seem at all useful, but if you can show them how they can use it they become much more interested. (I try to do this with physics)

12:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tell me how to use pi.

12:07 pm

lbdawger

first sa5.10 is not happily

12:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OK OK. No one knows the use of pi.

12:07 pm

lbdawger

as i tell my math buds, i'll give them unreal answers if they insist on using unreal numbers

12:08 pm

lbdawger

i bet UU can tell you the use of PI.

12:08 pm

uusue2

well, you can use pi if you want to translate men's hat measurements into something you can actually measure (the circumference of your head)

12:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what is an unreal number? What qualifies some numbers as more real than others?

12:09 pm

uusue2

are you thinking of imaginary numbers? (don't know any unreal numbers)

12:09 pm

Haz1558

I can see all those cowboys queuing up to get their bespoke stetsons using pi.

12:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yah, Sue, just the other day I was trying to translate a man's hat mmeasurement...

12:09 pm

MollyL

I want a pie hat!!!!

12:09 pm

irrational numberrs?

12:09 pm

i was just going to correct myself with saying imaginary not unreal

12:09 pm

nyahhhh.

Haz1558

That won't mean a lot to anybody who wasn't on yesterday when I was SHOCKED to find out that some Americans don't know that cowboys wear stetsons.

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

like dividing by zero?

12:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Aren't there real numbers?

12:10 pm

uusue2

Irrational numbers are numbers that can't be written as ratios of integers.

12:10 pm

MollyL

Really Haz, I thought that was a common knowledge term. I guess ten gallon is the more widely known.

12:10 pm

Oh cool. I hope she says Shazbot.

Maybe they were just pretending not to know.

There are indeed real numbers. Real numbers include irrational numbers, and include pretty much any number you can think of.

12:11 pm

uusue2

and yay, vanilla!!!

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

we could easily craft ne words from this grid.

12:11 pm

origami

Well, an imaginary number involves the square root of negative 1

12:11 pm

uusue2

you can think of the real numbers as lying along a line.

12:11 pm

lbdawger

i was surprised that many didn't know about stetson either. those of use who cut our teeth on John Wayne would know all about stetson!

12:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Irrational- that's what I meant. I can't write ANY number as a ratio of an integer.

12:12 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo Vanilla!!

12:12 pm

uusue2

Imaginary numbers you can think of as being perpendicular to real numbers - origami is right, they are all multiples of the square root of -1.

12:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Cutting teeth on John Wayne-ewww. I preferred a frozen bagel.

12:12 pm

Haz1558

It shook me to the core, lb.

vanillaslice

ty a bit easier than yesterday

12:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow.

12:13 pm

uusue2

Complex numbers have both real and imaginary parts, and can be thought of as describing a position on a surface (although that's not what they are actually used for)

12:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok time to rustle up lunch and get ready for doctor.

12:13 pm

uusue2

we use imaginary and complex numbers in physics a lot.

12:13 pm

See you again, TO.

12:14 pm

lbdawger

bye, TO

12:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Physicists are brilliant.

12:14 pm

uusue2

anyway, pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and is also used in calculating the area of a circle

12:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

*waves*

12:15 pm

uusue2

so if you were a farmer with one of those water-spraying lines, and wanted to know how much acreage you could water with it, the number pi would come into the calculation (or I suppose there are tables where you could look it up :-)

12:15 pm

lbdawger

My son is a physicist too, UU. I love talking with him and having him explain things to me. He's really good at breaking things down to the basics without dummying down the subject

12:16 pm

uusue2

complex numbers are useful in circuit analysis for alternating current (like what comes out of the wall, as opposed to the direct current that comes out of a battery)

12:17 pm

uusue2

the current goes up and down in these circuits but it doesn't go up and down at the same time in all parts of the circuit; it turns out to be handy to use complex numbers (or equations, really) to describe how the current is changing in different parts of the circuit.

12:18 pm

12:30 pm

forwardbyfaith

thank you!!

12:30 pm

MollyL

He was bad, bad te5 Brown, the baddest man in the whole damn town

12:30 pm

sammysmom

that is because sammy gave the clue sue

12:31 pm

uusue2

that's ok, molly, I might be able to be clearer about these things but would need to think about how to do it very briefly :-)

12:31 pm

sammysmom

12:31 pm

uusue2

french for king = roi

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

12:50 pm

crosshair

my one is going on me;(

12:51 pm

uusue2

do you know if it will take 3rd party or refilled cartridges? (my HP would not)

12:51 pm

crosshair

they are so inexpensive to be honest i have never messed with refills

12:51 pm

crosshair

refilled cartridges*

12:51 pm

uusue2

its cartridges averaged about $25 each, a little less for B/W and a little more for color

12:52 pm

crosshair

i just get the brand name ones and save the worry

12:52 pm

uusue2

well, we'll see. I don't usually print vast amounts of paper at home anyway (all my work stuff I print out at work, pretty much)

12:52 pm

crosshair

i use one of each per month on average so why use knock offs?

12:53 pm

uusue2

sounds like about what I use.

12:58 pm

uusue2

the fax part seems quite easy to use - my old one couldn't be convinced not to answer the phone

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

back again after a new drama.

12:59 pm

uusue2

hi again, ruby, what drama?

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

my husband just fell in the driveway, slipped on sunflower seed shells that he feeds the birds.

1:00 pm

uusue2

oh, no! Is he ok?

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

What a mess! Fortunately, I'm not squeamish, but he's terrible cut up on both hands, elbow and leg and has a goose egg on his head

1:01 pm

uusue2

oh, dear! Falling in the driveway is how my dad broke his leg so when I read that my heart really fell!!

1:01 pm

crosshair

and now before i head to work,i give you crossy,s tidbit of the day!!...

1:01 pm

uusue2

crossy, you know I live for your tidbits...

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

Fortunately, I still had supplies left from the dog bite, so I was able to dress the wounds before going to the drugstore.

1:02 pm

crosshair

Although better known for its food items, Sara Lee introduced the Wonderbra in 1994.

1:02 pm

uusue2

that recently? who knew??

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

he is very lucky not to have broken any bones

1:02 pm

uusue2

he sure is, ruby! how scary!!

1:02 pm

crosshair

tc everyone and happy babbling...poink!

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

at least he was able to pick himself up and get into the house.

1:05 pm

uusue2

I know he's been ill, ruby, although I don't remember exactly with what; is this related, do you think, or just bad luck?

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

he's getting old and it's just one thing after another

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

how old was your dad when he fell and broke his leg?

1:06 pm

uusue2

oh, dear :-(

1:06 pm

uusue2

89, ruby

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

he's almost 86

1:07 pm

sammysmom

ar 0/54 ??.. i have one that has to do with large veins

1:07 pm

sammysmom

9/54 that is

1:08 pm

uusue2

my dad's doctors kept asking him how he fell, to make sure there wasn't some underlying balance problem, but there wasn't - he just slipped on the ice during a really nasty winter

1:08 pm

MollyL

Ruby, sorry to hear about your husband's fall. You are a good nurse.

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

there are two 9/54's mom, endings are just different

1:08 pm

sammysmom

never mind.. got it

1:08 pm

uusue2

I have two that both have to do with blood vessels, sammy, one is actually a small vessel and the other is an infection

1:08 pm

MollyL

The other ending means inflammation

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

thank you, molly. I watched the nurse dress his dog bites, so I knew what to do

1:09 pm

uusue2

dog bites?

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

30 july, he was attacked by a beauceron which put him in the hospital

1:10 pm

uusue2

holy cow, he's had a time of it, hasn't he???

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

and he had pneumonia this past January

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

getting old is no fun for him.

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

he is lucky to be alive

1:18 pm

MollyL

I have decided that ar 9/54 is the way Lawrence Welk would pronounce the joint disease. : D

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

good night

1:18 pm

uusue2

sorry he is having such a hard time, ruby!!!! {{{{{{{{{ruby}}}}}}}}}}}} and {{{{{{{{{{{mr ruby}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

1:19 pm

no, not really, as long as you do it regularly. I usually walk him, then clean his paws and flags, then brush through quickly. And once every few days I use a comb and get all tangles out.

3:14 pm

sprite

takes about 15 minutes, so not bad

3:14 pm

Aloyisius

3:14 pm

I think so too :)

3:14 pm

uusue2

3:15 pm

Aloyisius

3:15 pm

uusue2

ok, found a couple more, now past half.

3:15 pm

sprite

I was going so strong, uusue, thought it was an easy grid, then when I slowed down... I wasn't even halfway, lol.

3:16 pm

pugmama763

cannot stay on long but sending a general prayer request to all praying fellow babblers: I filed a missing person report Wed. - My 24 yr old daughter has vanished Since Mon. night- she is bi-polar with a history of suicidal behavior & drug problems. AL PRAYERS FOR HER SAFETY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !

3:16 pm

uusue2

that one I actually knew, aloy (spend too much time sniffing things at the natural body care counter)

3:17 pm

uusue2

omg, pugmama, how scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:17 pm

Aloyisius

thinking of you, pugmama.. hoping for good news asap.. be strong

3:17 pm

pugmama763

indeed it is

3:17 pm

sprite

omg pugmama, consider her and yourself a big part of my prayers.

3:17 pm

uusue2

is there anything else we can do?

3:17 pm

pugmama763

not really but your prayers will certainly not huurt

3:18 pm

uusue2

is that her in your photos? she is beautiful!!!!!

3:19 pm

uusue2

(I don't really pray but will be lifting her up in my thoughts)

3:19 pm

pugmama763

she has given me many "ulcers" over the years but this time feels frighteningly different

3:19 pm

pugmama763

TY & yes she is, with all her problems her looks were never one of them !

3:21 pm

sprite

may she be safe, and may she surface soon and put your worries to rest,pugmama. I really really pray for that.

3:21 pm

pugmama763

thank you all for your prayers & warm thoughts

3:22 pm

Aloyisius

is there a place she considers a "haven"? Where she might go when she is frightened?

3:23 pm

pugmama763

Wed I found a note in my mail that sounds like she intends to "disappear".

3:23 pm

pugmama763

but she left with nothing but her purse & only a few $

3:24 pm

sprite

sounds very scary, pugmama. I hope it is a way for her to cry for help.

3:24 pm

pugmama763

I only hope it was disappear as in "fall off the grid" and not the unthinkable alternative

3:25 pm

Aloyisius

credit cards?

3:25 pm

Aloyisius

my sister is bipolar and I have been through a number of searches for her.. that is why I am asking

3:25 pm

pugmama763

I pray she somehow contacted one of her out of state friends from her "hippie festivals" or something..

3:26 pm

pugmama763

no credit no car even her keys are here

3:26 pm

pugmama763

she left her cell phone in her friends truck

3:27 pm

sprite

I'd be worried too, pugmama. *hugs* and lots of guardian angels and good vibes.

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

I'm good. very tired. got stitches out, but we should have waited, so now I have 2 big gaping holes in my leg...

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

And I discovered that steak and shake has a drive through!!!!!

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:31 pm

redturtlehead

It was great!!!!

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi diane

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

Wasn;t early. they looked really good, but the MD uses "Mattress sutures" and they just didnt show the holes...they will heal I just need to be careful about infection.

4:32 pm

uusue2

oh, ok. never heard of mattress sutures. take care of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:33 pm

redturtlehead

they are really ugly, and I am not a fan, but I can not complain, I feel I am doing alright.

4:33 pm

uusue2

4:34 pm

Hmmm, regret is not in the puzzle!

4:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:35 pm

uusue2

4:42 pm
