Good Morning Trif. If I had a hundred dollars for every word Rowling made up, I could retire.

SHE certainly has!

And made up oddly. I mean, really, now, the killing curse is "abracadabra"? *snicker*
6:52 am

not exactly! it's turned inside out and letters flipped

Close enough, close enough. But I'll stop now, lest I be accused of arguing with success. :)

She really took a page from Roald Dahl (Willy Wonka...gobstoppers) with all the made up words.
6:53 am

Roald Dahl made up gobstoppers? I. Did. Not. Know. That!

okay molly. sorry. I had heard it was accurate. enjoy the PB!

Um, okay. Uh, interesting take on Peter Pan, I guess.

Pamela- or virtue rewarded. It would have been prescient of him to update Harry Potter- although he did believe in esp.

Hmm. I'm thinking I'd like it better than the current versions.

I've read the book Carlee. Never quite gleaned that from it.

In the original Grimm stories, I never so much thought of them as UNDERtones.

Well that all depends on your definition of orgy. "unrestrained indulgence in any activity". I seriously doubt Barrie was referring to sex.
7:09 am

thanks, trif!

uusue...I TRULY enjoyed all of your photos from your trip! It is an area of the world I would love to visit, but know that it is very unlikely that I will get there. I am VERY much into history and such, so I was so excited to "see" it through your lens.
7:10 am

Possibly it was an orgy of violence. Wasn't Fight Club based on an unpublished barrie manuscript? ;)

7:14 am

there are several little "seduction scenes" tinkerbell constantly shows jealousy toward wendy...wendy is "the other woman" . one of the themes is sexual maturation in wendy..she can grow up...whereas peter never will
7:14 am
SamanthaJoy

And, of course, the attempted murder. It's really a pretty awesome story.
7:15 am
carleekat

grimm books are very cool..and most of htem were written about "growing up" was an easy way for parents to have the "sex talk" and warn their children about protecting their virtue
7:15 am

tonnes of violence..PP is NOt a children's story really
7:15 am

we are doing alice this week car.ee i still have 4 chapters to go
7:16 am
MollyL

Yep, you can take many stories written for children years ago and dissect them to death. It's been done for years.
7:16 am
car.eeyore

Not to mention Lewis Carroll's "love" of children...ewww...
7:16 am
carleekat

Oh and questions still remain whether barrie was a pedophile... he ended up raising 4 children whom he obsessed over and once 2 of them reached adulthood they committed suicide
7:17 am
carleekat

but that was how lessons were passed on to children..most times the people who told the stories were illiterate.. and they told these stories around the fire both for entertainment and to teach...
7:17 am
SamanthaJoy

Molly, in this case, it's not dissecting, it's plain text. Tinkerbell tried to kill Wendy out of jealousy. It's just that it got left out of the Disney version and subsequent movies, so a lot of people don't know it.
7:18 am

I love dissecting books. There is so much more to them than just the outer layer of the story. Very cool.

Nor any different that those who claim the Harry Potter books are about the occult and Devil worship. Everyone is entitled to their take on things. I just find some of them very strange.

7:22 am

But, alas, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!
7:22 am

the harry potter books i dont think has any occult or devil worship in the form of allegory..they use witchcraft as a setting to tell a story of maturation in a tradition quest format
7:23 am

NM! Just got it!
7:24 am

but i can see the fundamentalists who take everything litterally and see no allegory as presuming harry patter is teaching kids to believe and follow in witchcraft and occult
7:24 am

7:25 am

I LOVED the History Channel show they did on the story of Star Wars and all the famous books/stories it rlelates to.
7:26 am
carleekat

none the less digging is fun... i had a blast with my religion course taking a passage of religious text and delving into it to find the allegorical meanings...was st. thomas aquinas who developed the 4 stages or levels of thinking that is applied reading
7:26 am

Close reading of text is fascinating, but it's different if there is some historical context, rather than idiot paranoia. Do you remember when Tinky Winky was revealed as a gay icon?
7:26 am

Oh lordy yes, I'd forgotten that. How funny.

hi stid. How are you doing? Volunteering?? what's going on?
2:33 pm
stidmama

I took today "off" from subbing, Nef, so I could observe a friend's resource room and meet with a man who has developed a wonderful remedial reading program. He is also giving a presentation at the staff meeting so I will go to that as well. I am applying to a job as well, so spending a little time on the resume and letter of interest today.
2:35 pm
Nef

that sounds good! When I asked what was going on; I was wondering if the school was having a special event (ie: science fair, lyceum, etc). I did ssound very nosy after I re-read that. :-)
2:36 pm
stidmama

LOL no problem -- I have friends at that school, so I often go volunteer there when I need to recharge and do a reality check on teaching practice and such.
2:37 pm
Nef

how come defur isn't a word? We have to defur the cat (using one of those weird defurring combs) so that my allergies don't flare
2:38 pm
Nef

that's nice you can do that, stid. Sounds like it's something you enjoy doing too. :-)
2:38 pm
stidmama

yep. I thought the same thing. Okay, need to go call the school I am applying to -- ask if they want me to drop a current resume and such by tomorrow, or if I should just stick with the online system...
2:38 pm
stidmama

I do enjoy my neighborhood school -- wish I had been able to get the job there (short commute) but it's probably better for me to be out of my comfort zone a little while longer. I still have a lot to learn, and don't want to get in a rut.
2:40 pm
stidmama

back in a few.
2:42 pm

having been raised by a teacher (well, actually County Supt. of Schools); subbing is a great way to start out to learn how to teach in different styles
2:47 pm

5 left! bbl to figure them out, hopefully....tough grid!
2:58 pm
stidmama

back... I called the district (it's a K-12 school) and tomorrow I will wander by with my resume and letter of interest in hand. I think... maybe my enthusiasm and reaching out in this way will give me a foot in the door. And if I like the school I can add it to my subbing list if I don't get the job... just in case!
2:59 pm
stidmama

and yes, I have subbed for many different grades and teachers now so I have a bigger repertoire of ideas and strategies. I feel much more confident when I walk into a new classroom these days.

My son was heavy into drugs in his late teens; I used Alanon at the time and then he had a car accident; was arrested for violating parole and sent to prison. He should have gone to minimum security, but it was full at the time and he was sent to maximum security at age 21. It scared him straight! He's now 33 and still has the felony charges on his record; but he's been clean ever since
5:20 pm
Nef

My heart broke at the time; but looking back, it was the best thing in the world for him (maximum security. Tough love is hard; but very necessary at times
5:21 pm
ivesy3

so u know what its like. ty for sharing.. its a livng hell but yes tuf love is hard. but mine knows, drugs and no mom... clean , i will give him support, but no money... just food... i didnt think i would survive this last time we are tougher than we think
5:26 pm

Ivesy, I've had several family members go through this same dance with addiction. I know how heart breaking it can be. I think it is hardest on the parents. Bless you darlin'.
5:28 pm
ivesy3

aww thks molly.. i have learned so much.. drug addicts dont care about family, only drugs. its all lies to get drugs. the online group im with is amazing. . and yes its the parents who are hurt
5:29 pm

I've seen the hurt of spouses and children, but the raw hurt of the parents is what always gets to me the most.

I work with a lot of young people who are recovering from drug addiction- and their families- it's nice to see kids get better, and it sometimes happens. A lot of heartbreak along the way.
6:32 pm
MollyL

I'm glad you are there to help Kap.
6:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne

sometimes love isn't enough. It's very moving when the young adults talk about what they did to their families, and how grateful they are for their love
6:35 pm
MollyL

That is the complicated part. So many of us think that "love heals all wounds". But in the case of addiction, sadly, love can get in the way.
6:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne

There is a great stigma about addictions- the idea that people choose their path and deserve their fate- but the reality is so much more complicated.
6:38 pm
Nef

it's so hard to learn that sometimes the best love is saying No. I've always tried to help my kids; to make them responsible for their own actions is very hard
6:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I am glad finally to be working with a group of clinicians who don't hold punitive attitudes and negative stereotypes
6:39 pm
MollyL

While I believe that addiction is a disease, a disorder, a mis-wiring of the brain (call it what you want) I do believe that it's a choice every time they use.
6:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Just came home from a parent-teacher conference- I I left my stupid purse in the advisodaughter's advisor's office
6:40 pm
Nef

My family had a lot of alcoholics in the older generations, knowing that I should have been more aware of my son's using. But at the time I knew nothing about drugs or what to look for.
6:40 pm
Nef

oh, no, Kap! DO you have to go back now?
6:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It is arguable that it is a disease (what is a disease?), and here is the "choice" debate again--
6:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I can't -it's closed
6:42 pm
MollyL

If there were no choice involved, there would be no alcoholics and addicts in recovery. They choose to use or they choose to stay clean.
6:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Like I said this morning, some have greater mental health and life circumstances that help them with their choices. There but for fortune go you or I!

Dorens

these days we can't be too picky... unfortunate that gas is so expensive, but long rides can be rewarding to some extent. play nice classical music on your way home and decompress, by the time you get home the craziness of the day is gone and you're ready to make dinner and deal with the home stuff
7:31 pm
Dorens

oh my molly... you really know how to make me happy
7:31 pm
stidmama

I really enjoy 6th graders, too. But except for my joint problems that make the littlest kids really hard I don't know that there is an age limit for me. I find each age interesting and challenging to teach.
7:32 pm
stidmama

Exactly, doren -- an hour's drive through a rural area is pretty good for decompressing. I have done longer drives in less favorable circumstances, for sure!
7:32 pm
Dorens

you are rare stid... most teachers i know can only handle elementary or middle school, and always wonder how their counterparts have the patience to deal with the kids they have
7:33 pm
Dorens

i personally don't have the patience for little kids anymore. I mean, i'm fine with them in my capacity as counselor, but couldn't deal with first grade all day long... would make me perfectly insane!
7:33 pm
stidmama

maybe that will be a selling point -- I have endorsements that actually make me eligible to teach at almost any grade level... I can teach all content areas through grade 8 if it's an "elementary" setting.
7:34 pm
Dorens

that will help, but your major selling point is yourself, your personality and attitude!
7:34 pm
stidmama

that said... I would not mind just focusing on the middle school kids. They need people who are too tough to scare off, who won't give up on them. And I am hard to scare.
7:35 pm
stidmama

why oh why do I keep trying aecia?
7:35 pm
Dorens

I would love to see you in my school. I think (from what i've seen here) that you have the makings of a remarkable teacher. But then again, from what people see here, they think i must be a marvelous counselor, and there are teachers in my school who would certainly differ with them!

two schools of thought there stid... i personally like a one page resume... if you have the interview already, then you can get that stuff in at that time??

or she'll b*tch again

Dorens

kj understands!!
8:12 pm

if I was there I'd make that recipe for you, doren... it looked good
8:12 pm
Dorens

and I have the dill in my frig.. that's how much i want it. i dragged my sick body to the store on monday and bought beautiful fresh baby dill
8:13 pm
stidmama

I can do it in one page -- don't have an interview yet. Want to showcase myself as best as possible, since a long-term sub is now in the job and is listed on the school webpage (possibly a not good sign for me)
8:13 pm
kje

and a 1 page resume in my field is unheard of
8:13 pm
72 Temple Owl

stid, your college shouldoffer its serviceson resume writing

man, frsh dill is wonderful... almost as good as fresh tarragon
8:13 pm
Dorens

i'm going to show it to him and see if he'll at least incorporate some of the ingredients in his... seems fair
8:13 pm
stidmama

well, as a beginning teacher (but lots of volunteer experience) I have a somewhat short resume on the accomplishments side
8:14 pm
stidmama

TO, not enough time to mess with undergrads trying to grasp the nuances of fluency vs. comprehension in a literacy text (tried them before)
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl

they specilize in just out of school - and you have been subbing
8:14 pm
kje

is that one page resume really feasible anywhere... once you reach our age?
8:14 pm
Dorens

your field is kinda different from teaching... and yes, then stid, put it in if it fits in one page
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl

my they do not have dedicated career counselors>!
8:14 pm
stidmama

does sound like a good idea, doren -- maybe if you show him the ingredients he will find it easier to make soup that makes you feel pampered
8:14 pm
Dorens

this resume doesn't need to include other work experience, k, they just want to know about teaching i think

Ah, Doren has a big hunky male caretaker. I vote for one page resumes. Sincerely, those of us that read them are bored senseless with pages and pages of all about you. Keep it brief.

the one pagers are okay, but if you have a lot of experience, one page doesn't always do it. mine for instance takes at least 2 pages and that's just two jobs! teaching and counseling and all the duties that go with them.

I am assuming that I don't need to outline the basic tasks of teaching... or list every book and system I used as a student teacher. But I suppose I could include the online grading system, because I know the new district uses the same one
8:19 pm

8:19 pm

honestly, I haven't seen a 1 page resume in eons...
8:19 pm

okay, back again after a couple more changes...
8:19 pm
kje

only one pagers I have seen are from our students who have no experience
8:20 pm
lbdawger

not in your profession, kje. that would be really scary!
8:20 pm
kje

no, I mean even for our secretaries, receptionist, etc
8:20 pm
MollyL

It only takes one page to tell me why you are qualified for the job.
8:21 pm
lbdawger

I think a cover letter helps fill in the blanks, and then that could end up being rather lengthy too
8:21 pm
Dorens

i called him a big hunk? i meant a big lug!
8:22 pm
Dorens

agree with lbd about cover letter
8:22 pm
kje

lug.... hunk..... so close
8:22 pm

Hunky lug will do. I'm glad he's good to you Doren.

It used to be a long dialogue for me. It's not any more. Don't settle for less than you are worth. That has become my mantra.

right now, I'd settle for a man who could fix my heat.... blowing cold air, had to shut it off, and getting down to a chilly 30 tonight
8:31 pm
Dorens

everything can be looked at more than one way. what is the difference between settling and accepting one's imperfections (cause i'm sure not perfect myself and this man knows all my stuff and sees me at my worst and still truly loves me)
8:31 pm
kje

though... a down comforter is almost as good and much less trouble
8:32 pm

8:33 pm

i don't mean have you had experience molly, and dyou have shown yourself to be a wise woman more than once. but i mean that my perspective has changed with each decade or so... and not sure right now what is settling and what is being accepting of the one I love

It is a conversation best not had here Doren. I did my time with the "man in recovery" who "wasn't as good to me as I was to him". I don't plan on doing that again, ever.

8:34 pm
stidmama

got the resume done, working on the cover letter and reference list... *sigh* and feeling more and more anxious. Glad I took tomorrow off. Glad I have plenty of work lined up for this month... Glad that when I am done with this task it will be ready to go at any time.
8:34 pm
kje

there is no such thing as perfect... it isn't settling to see someone's faults and still love them (or else, I'm in a lot of trouble)
8:34 pm

i hate resumes and such, stid. i would rather just let my work speak for itself, unfortunately that doesn't work for potential jobs

8:35 pm

9:15 pm
rururocks

that was WIne of the Year in the Spectator
9:16 pm
rururocks

That's a really nice beaucastel
9:16 pm
Dorens

many of his wines were wines of the year... he often stated it proudly. but i liked that better than all his cal. cabs which he preferred. i really think he should give me all the beaucastels... they will be bad soon, what a waste
9:16 pm
rururocks

a friend sent me a listing of a friends cellar and I wrote about every wine in it and blew them away.. they couldn't believe I knew about every single one of them
9:17 pm
Dorens

and the gevry chambertin.. beaune, he has bunches of very old burgundies that need to be drunk up
9:17 pm
rururocks

yeahh.. he should give you ALL of his French Wine
9:17 pm
Dorens

you are rather impressive
9:17 pm
rururocks

piffle
9:17 pm
Dorens

i bet he's barely drunk any of them.. and they will go to waste. shame
9:17 pm
LeslieAnn

clues before i go?
9:18 pm
Dorens

about 26 of them please
9:18 pm
rururocks

tell him.. that if he clears out that Burgundy that he doesn't drink .. he'll have more room for his trophy california cabs
9:18 pm
rururocks

AND. .. you'll think much better of him going forward
9:18 pm
negativeneil

Phone app, magazinemom? Is there one available for the Android?
9:19 pm
Dorens

hah. good one. but i haven't spoken to him in a while, and it would seem so awkward (and obviously grunging, if you know what i mean)
9:19 pm
rururocks

yeah.. i guess it would.
9:20 pm
Dorens

might hint it to his daughter next time i see her
9:20 pm
rururocks

good idea
9:20 pm
rururocks

go through the kids
9:21 pm
rururocks

tell her that you've loved the older wines now that they are ready to drink and you like your wines like men Mature and open
9:21 pm
Dorens

which kids? his daughter is the one of his kids who lives locally and i see.... and my kids have nothing to do with him anymore
9:22 pm
Dorens

hahaha... that's a great line.
9:22 pm
magazinemom

neil- not sure about that. I have an iPhone
9:23 pm
Dorens

she knew i always liked the french ones better... we had dinner together every sunday nite and i frequently reminded him that we needed to drink them, as he said they only had a couple of years left. and i always swooned over them. even if i couldn't see the bottle, i knew
9:23 pm

Stiddy, letter coming back atcha! one comment on the letter.
9:24 pm

who knew babble could match up a professional resume writer with a hesitant resume needer?

okay.. it's lasagne time.. Pours glass of Pinot.
9:25 pm
Dorens

mmmm (wishing i could sample both)
9:26 pm
rururocks

tata for now kiddies.... tell Ken Doren that you have a professional friend in the wine biz and he recommends finding a welcoming home for all those burgundies he doesn't enjoy.. it's better to keep things you like to drink around the house ..
9:26 pm
lbdawger

babble is an amazing place! anything can happen here.
9:26 pm

9:29 pm
rururocks

I mean.. what are they going to talk about Charlie Sheen's movies ?
9:29 pm
Dorens

i'm better off without him. remember that. the best thing about him was the wine, and the vacations, and the certain dinners out at restaurants three times a week. and his sunday dinners (loved his daughter and the grandkids)
9:30 pm
rururocks

okay.. that's saves it.
9:30 pm
Dorens

did i ever tell you she is an md?
9:30 pm
