and it is now time for the insanely popular and much requested crossy,s quote of the day!!
9:07 am
crosshair
I made it a rule to forbear all direct contradictions to the sentiments of others, and all positive assertion of my own. I even forbade myself the use of every word or expression in the language that imported a fixed opinion, such as "certainly", "undoubtedly", etc. I adopted instead of them "I conceive", "I apprehend", or "I imagine" a thing to be so or so; or "so it appears to me at present". When another asserted something that I thought an error, I denied myself the pleasure of contradicting him abruptly, and of showing him immediately some absurdity in his proposition. In answering I began by observing that in certain cases or circumstances his opinion would be right, but in the present case there appeared or semed to me some difference, etc. I soon found the advantage of this change in my manner; the conversations I engaged in went on more pleasantly. The modest way in which I proposed my opinions procured them a readier reception and less contradiction. I had less mortification when I was found to be in the wrong, and I more easily prevailed with others to give up their mistakes and join with me when I happened to be in the right. -- Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Yay! Make me wiser.

lol vanillia,he knew that it is better to listen and be a good sounding board,cause people as a rule are worried foremost about what affects them directly and love to hear the melodious sound of their own voice and if you fence sit and nod your head in all the right places,they may be more inclinced to hear you out with your issues
9:12 am
Scrabbler
I will be hip-checking small children whenever possible, haha. Two weeks ago the rink was swarming with kids using walkers to learn to skate.

taht is my hope, annie. the next leg went very well - she met a lovely aussie family with a daughter just a littler older than she is, and they took her under their wing and walked her to the international terminal in dallas and the whole thing.
2:05 pm
Trifioso
no, westford, she is traveling to australia to live with her aunt and uncle and do a semester of school there.
2:05 pm
Anniebrook
What a great experience for her!
2:06 pm
westford
what a wonderful opportunity
2:07 pm
Trifioso
yes, I imagine it will be, once she gets there! Her relatives there are excellent people, and I am so glad she will be living with them. They do these crazy, amazing things....like Thursday, they are going with some friends on their yacht (!!) to an island about 11 miles out in the Indian Ocean, and they will be there for 4 days or so. A lovely pre-school vacation for Secondo, wouldn't you say?
2:08 pm
westford
it certainly is..she should be glad to get out of this cold and snowy area too
2:08 pm
Trifioso
no kidding! we have had ONE snowy day all year, and it's the day she flies!
2:10 pm
westford
isn't that always the way? glad she made her connnection in Dallas
2:10 pm

the earliest opportunity we will have for any contact is tomorrow morning at around 7 or 8, boston time. looooooong day today!

Trif, you are a braver Mother than I. I could never have let one of mine go that far, that young, for so long. Blessings to girlie.

aww lovely, but the weather there is around mid 30 celcius

Grade for Steven Tyler's version of The National Anthem: B+. Mostly respectful, only a few off notes, but he is one who subscribes to: If you can't sing the note, scream it. : )

I quit that way- no cold turkey nightmare for me. Just taper, with knowing that my goal was to delay and reduce nic fits.

it does seem to help.. and when my hands get nervous for not having a cig in it i just hold onto a pen instead
3:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
If I got really bad cravings, I would take one drag and get rid of it. But that takes really being sure of what you want.
3:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Otherwise, boom- there goes a back. It was just to stop the obsession.
3:32 pm
cosdem
i also just smoke 1/3 of a cig each time i do smoke...

I guess that's the function of nicorette and all that, but those aids didn't exist when I quit.

3:43 pm
cosdem
i love netflix i was able to watch all 3 seasons of Merlin in 3 days in time to catch up for season 4 which just started here
3:43 pm
Shirlockc
i usually do the one disc at a time thing
3:43 pm
cosdem
i watch it streaming online
3:44 pm
Shirlockc
i had some time so streamed the sherlock
3:44 pm
cosdem
that way i don't have to wait for it to coem int he mail lol
3:44 pm
Shirlockc
my internet (or my computer) fitzes so it never streams perfectly

I really wanted to see the Downton Abbey Christmas Special, and it wasn' there. :-(
3:45 pm
Shirlockc
and it looks like i missed season 2 epi 1 of sherlock on PBS, dang
3:45 pm
Shirlockc
?? downton abbey xmas special?????
3:45 pm
cosdem
shirl -- i use my kindle fire to watch netflix because it doesn't work so wellon the laptop
3:46 pm
Shirlockc
hmmmm, i didn't think of the fire
3:46 pm
Shirlockc
i could have done that
3:46 pm
cosdem
the app is free.
3:46 pm
Soodle
Yup... ITV showed it on Christmas night, and I blooming missed it. I was devastated!
3:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
what downton abbey christmas special? the season 2 just started...
3:49 pm
Soodle
Nope Kap.. Season 2 has finished here. They did a 2 hour special for Christmas.
3:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh- then maybe we will get it someday. WIll there be a season 3?
3:50 pm
Soodle
Its in the making, I understand.
3:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And is the American version just as detailed as the Brit version this time? Last season they left out stuff about the entail, because they thought americans wouldn't get it.
3:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
ahhh.
3:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I noticed in the bookstore all these new books spinning off the craze- memoirs of servants and such.
3:51 pm
cosdem
what i don't understand is why downtown abbey season 1 won "best miniseries/made for tv movie" at the golden globes last week
3:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
But sometimes TV is the way to go.
3:51 pm
cosdem
just checked google. downtown abbey has been renewed for season 3.
3:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Because it was the best miniseries?
3:52 pm
cosdem
lol i mean... theres a lot fo american shows with the same amount of episodes and they were nominated for best tv show...
3:52 pm
MollyL
Hi Soodle. How was the lobster last night?
3:52 pm
cosdem
why was downtown abbey nominated as a movie instead of a tv show
3:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Beats me, Cos
3:53 pm
cosdem
don't get me wrong - i'm glad it won.
3:53 pm
Soodle
Oooh, Molly... I was born to eat lobster. I made a rather nice thermiador sauce, with a fresh green salad. It was totally yum:-)
3:54 pm
Shirlockc
well, it's sunday night so i'll be glued to the "telly" watching season 2 downton abbey tonight
3:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I DVR it- Monday night is when I watch.
3:54 pm
Soodle
Shirl, I envy you watching it for the first time.
3:54 pm

It's a hell of a lot easier to take than Boardwalk Empire.

The Golden Globes are weird. For instance, Madeline Stowe was nominated for best actress in a drama series for "Revenge". I like that show, but I can't see her nominated for best actress.
3:55 pm

good to know there's an xmas special tho

hi Soodle !!.... ya "bum" .... I always want to tack that on the "end" LOL
4:11 pm

he was more than a child abuser.. he was a child molester. (not JoePa)
4:15 pm
cosdem
i have no sympathy for anyone who "condones" child molestation for reasons i won't go into :) but i do understand why some people are willing to forgive him (even tho i disagree) for that.
4:15 pm

4:53 pm
cosdem
oh. and Pink Panther 2 which was amusing.
4:54 pm
MollyL
Oh, lots more than that. This one was "Twisted" with Ashley Judd and Samuel L. Jackson. Final scene of the movie, Andy says (a little high on drugs he had been given) I AM the guy. I have a hopeless crush on that man.
4:55 pm
cosdem
lol i'll have to check imdb to see if there's anything else i've seen him in.
4:56 pm
MollyL
"When A Man Loves A Woman" is one of his best. But it's hard to watch if you had an alcoholic parent. Andy plays the spouse of Meg Ryan, who is the alcoholic parent.

6:19 pm
dcseain
We've been playing Risk Legacy of late :)
6:19 pm
lil*monkey
??? Risk Legacy?
6:20 pm
dcseain
it's way cool limited-release edition in which the players create the board, naming continents, placing cities, actions of players open up various envelopes and compartments that introduce new factions and change rules.
6:20 pm
dcseain
it's been a ton of fun so far :)
6:21 pm
lil*monkey
Sounds fun!
6:21 pm
dcseain
we've played it of the 16 times it'll take until the board is set for good. On Friday night, the game owner opened the 'do not ever open this envelope' envelope. So, several players now have personal curses in the events deck :D
6:22 pm
dcseain
played it 9 of the 16...
6:22 pm

6:25 pm
Dorens
yes did try kingsburg once and liked it. loved settlers, and seafarers... don't play much anymore but enjoy it when i get a chance
6:25 pm
dcseain
and the Nat'l Capital Region of the Federal Government is closed tomorrow due to ice.
6:25 pm
MollyL
<---Totally lost in this conversation. Will continue chanting my good weather mojo. Ahmmmmm.
6:26 pm
lil*monkey
Wow, they already announced that DC govt is closed tomorrow?
6:27 pm
Dorens
wow. i heard we will have freezing rain tonight.. would love a delayed opening tomorrow.. just got home an hour ago from boston and ama tired... wasn't expecting such a big grid, but the first half did go quickly
6:28 pm
Dorens
what's a matter molly? not a gamer? that's okay i'm not really either.. just was addicted to settlers of catan for a while there
6:28 pm
lil*monkey
Fs are greyed!
6:28 pm
MollyL
Not seeing anything about the Federal Government being closed tomorrow.
6:29 pm
MollyL
This is really the only game I play, and I don't even play it as seriously as some people seem to.
6:29 pm
dcseain
hm. will go double check.
6:31 pm
dcseain
Due to expected icy conditions, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management recommends that Federal employees remain off the road until 9:00 a.m. on Monday, January 23. Federal Government offices will open to the public at 11:00 a.m. Employees who commute to the office will be granted excused absence for the delayed arrival. Employees have the option to use unscheduled leave and/or unscheduled telework for the entire workday in lieu of a delayed arrival.
6:31 pm
dcseain
from opm.gov, so delayed opening, not full closure.
6:32 pm
Dorens
well i haven't had a delayed opening announced yet but am hopeful
6:32 pm
Dorens
oh molly some of us are very serious about this game. i wish i could say i'm not one of them, but i think i am
6:32 pm

Dorens
nope, monkey, sorry
6:34 pm
lil*monkey
thanks Une!
6:34 pm
MollyL
Well, I guess I will just wait and see what is happening weather wise when I get up tomorrow. I have to create my own delayed opening, since my company would prefer you risk life, limb and automobile to get to work on time. Bastards.
6:34 pm
Uneaixoise
yw :-)
6:34 pm
Dorens
oh nice une.. i needed both of them
6:35 pm
Uneaixoise
great icon pic, doren! :-)
6:35 pm
Dorens
oh thanks une... was great fun
6:35 pm
lil*monkey
Oh that's how my emplyer is too, Molly. They own 5 rehab facilities in the area... I asked about the snow policy and they said, "If you can't drive to your place of work, walk {yes I said WALK} to the closest facility."
6:37 pm
dcseain
that's extra ridiculous where you live, monkey.
6:37 pm
lil*monkey
We aren't getting the icy rain though... should be fine tomorrow.
6:39 pm
kje
that is healthcare though, monkey... bodies must come in
6:40 pm
lil*monkey
yep, kje... Medicare does not care about snow, rain, ice, etc.
6:40 pm
MollyL
Brilliant Monkey. Jeeze, if the patients can't get there for rehab, why should you be there? WALK???
6:41 pm
kje
well.... sick eople do not go away in rain, ice, snow etc - lol
6:41 pm
kje
are you only outpatient, monkey?
6:41 pm
lil*monkey
No, this is a short- and long-term rehab facility
6:41 pm
lil*monkey
the patients are living there
6:42 pm
kje
ah, yes, inpatient the show must go on.... we need our own song
6:42 pm
lil*monkey
They have to receive Physical Therapy 5-7 times a week
6:42 pm
MollyL
Oh sorry, misunderstood the nature of the facility.
6:43 pm
kje
I can see your patients going "snow day! woot! no work today" then beig bummed when you show up
6:43 pm
kje
like kids and school
6:44 pm
lil*monkey
LOL kje... you should see how bummed they are when I show up on a Sat or Sun
6:45 pm
kje
I warn our patients before they go.... this is not a hospital, it is not a spa, it is boot camp, you are there to work
6:45 pm
dcseain
catch yall later. i need to go get read to head to dinner. :)
6:46 pm
kje
bon appetit dc
6:50 pm
MollyL
*Thinks of KJE as a combination of Nurse Ratchett and Sgt. Foley from "Officer And A Gentleman"
6:51 pm
lil*monkey
back from the kitchen... eating my oven fried chickn now
6:52 pm
kje
it is preparing them for what to expect... I have worked in a rehab facility - it is hard if they come in thinking it is a hospital and they get to rest, but once they know what to expect they can get their mind set to it
6:52 pm
vanillaslice
hello just came in to see if my fireworks was real or a figment of imagination... its still there!!!
6:52 pm
lil*monkey
Ah you're so right, kje... I wish more MDs would prepare their patients for rehab
6:53 pm
kje
and those days adjusting are lost... medicare only pays for a set number of days, and if they are spent convincing a pateint they need to participate, they do not get them back
6:53 pm
lil*monkey
I love the patients in rehab who ask for a "massage"
6:53 pm
kje
lolol monkey!
6:54 pm
lil*monkey
Or the ones who are have been non-ambulatory x 5 years, then get pneumonia, come to rehab and think we are going to get them up & walking again
6:54 pm
kje
it actually comes from focus groups done at the U of Colorado - patients want to be prepared for what to expect at the next site
6:55 pm
kje
seems reasonable monkey...
6:55 pm
MollyL
KJE will make us well, we don't mind the rehab hell. Sound off, 1..2...Sound off...3...4!!
6:55 pm
lil*monkey
Medicare will only allowus to return the patient to their PLF
6:55 pm
lil*monkey
LOL MOLLY
6:56 pm
kje
and the latest data that shows CVA victims continue to improve many months out of given rehab... oh well, too bad
6:56 pm
jmcnrick
delayed opening of federal government tomorrow molls
6:57 pm
lil*monkey
oh dcseain said "cancelled"
