are you up early or very late?
3:14 am
rbud

was asleep, now up again, it's just after 3 AM here.
3:16 am
rubyfoo

try making bingo words in your head, it is so boring that it always works for me
3:16 am
rbud

getting fussed about not being able to monkey the J for nbt, lol
3:17 am
rubyfoo

ji6/39
3:17 am
rubyfoo

it's a vegetable, I think
3:17 am
rubyfoo

and it's only my 7th word! got the others (animal ones) from the chog
3:17 am
rubyfoo

green and lumpy
3:17 am
rbud

aha! thank you, that worked. I haven't been at this long, just about a half hour.
3:18 am
rbud

this one makes me want to try lots of Spanish words, lol.
3:19 am
rubyfoo

I need aN HOUR TO MYSELF IN THIS CIRCUS OF A HOUSEHOld
3:19 am
rubyfoo

sorry for the caps, big pinky at fault
3:20 am
rbud

I hear that! (the circus part) - it's like that here, too. Dau just went to get son, he's a pain. Needed a ride. Yes, at 3 AM. sigh.
3:20 am
rubyfoo

no wonder you're up!
3:21 am
rbud

ah, they're back, one less worry.
3:21 am
rubyfoo

good
3:21 am
rbud

he treats us like his personal taxi service.
3:22 am
rubyfoo

that sounds charming!
3:22 am
rubyfoo

what is he doing out that late?
3:22 am
rubyfoo

studying? lol
3:23 am
rubyfoo

this is very disorganized; I'm doing any old word as I see it, not any order at all
3:24 am
rbud

no, haha, I wish. he's just a night owl with a lot of night owl friends. and easily bored.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

that would drive me crazy!
3:25 am
rbud

he'll be 21 in June, not much I care to try to tell him, forget any kind of discipline at this point.
3:25 am
rubyfoo

loam
3:25 am
rbud

already have that one, lol
3:25 am
rubyfoo

whoops, is there coffee in the PB?
3:26 am
rbud

oooh, maybe coffee would be good - or tea - or maybe hot cocoa, it's kinda cold here.
3:26 am
rubyfoo

hot milk? ice cream?
3:27 am
rbud

hmmm.... have some french vanilla ice cream, yum! and a brownie I could put it on. if the kids didn't get the last one.
3:27 am
rubyfoo

that sounds like a perfect wakefulness cure!
3:28 am
rbud

son has a 10-day stretch in jail coming up soon, looking forward to the peace and quiet. Then after that he's done, till the next dumb thing he does.
3:29 am
rubyfoo

I guess he's getting some partying out of his system first
3:29 am
rbud

I think that's most of it. he figures he's due some fun first.
3:29 am
rubyfoo

not!
3:30 am
rbud

just glad dau's BF is the quiet type. he's never a problem like our son. very mellow.
3:31 am
rubyfoo

I've always been lucky; my son was a mellow baby and continued to be mellow (sometimes too mellow, if you get my drift), through his teens. Now he is very stressed with his work, but he's 48, so it's not my problem (just my worry), now
3:34 am
rbud

The boyfriend is a fair amount older than our daughter, but that doesn't seem to bother them. She's 24, he's 34 or so, but they get along great. He's got a job, yay.
3:35 am
rubyfoo

job is good! 10 yrs doable, but not more (2 times, too big a difference)
3:38 am
rubyfoo

phantom: potlatch
3:38 am
rbud

they
3:39 am
rbud

they're both similar in their viewpoints and such, and not the brightest couple around (love her, but it's true.) seems to work for them.
3:40 am
rubyfoo

that is fortunate that they've found each other
3:40 am
rubyfoo

I've married two who were "the smartest men in the world", NOT!!
3:40 am
rbud

she still squeals like a little kid about baby animals, and can't make change, or tell time worth a darn, sigh...
3:40 am
rubyfoo

wouldn't pour the water out of a wet shoe
3:41 am
rubyfoo

she sounds like a sweetie
3:41 am

3:41 am

and Miss Genius over here, keeps putting words in the chog!!!! duh
3:41 am
Kazzer99

morning all - lovely day here today
3:41 am
rbud

she is, but she acts like a much younger girl. Our son, on the other hand, very smart, but doesn't put it to any good use.
3:41 am
rubyfoo

pls don't tell on me
3:42 am
rubyfoo

hiya kazzer
3:42 am
rbud

I had that one, too, no worries! :)
3:42 am
Kazzer99

but she does drive rbud - i can't do that
3:42 am
rbud

Hi Kazz!
3:42 am
rubyfoo

that's good news -- we'[ve had rain, rain, rain, but if you have sunshine, we'll have it in 2 or 3 days
3:43 am
Kazzer99

we have had some large hail showers over the last few days (large for us - nothing ilk the monsters some parts of the states gets)
3:44 am
rubyfoo

we've also had hail, but tiny pieces, so no damage
3:44 am
rubyfoo

the big ones sqush everything
3:44 am
rbud

ah, the dogs have finally quit barking, they were wound up over the train going through.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

my puppy stands and barks in Ruby's face and she just whines
3:45 am
Kazzer99

its was funny in a way - they chap who gave me a lift part way home yesterday has a new car and winced every time a hail stone hit it
3:45 am
rbud

haha, what do you think that's all about?
3:45 am
rubyfoo

that's funny, kaz
3:45 am
rbud

oh dear, don't blame him, a new car? I'd be looking for a carport to wait it out.
3:45 am
Kazzer99

he obvious doesn't like the noise
3:46 am
rubyfoo

it's like going into the ocean, after the first dent, the rest are less painful
3:46 am
rbud

a car wash bay, or something to pull under.
3:46 am
rbud

lol!
3:46 am
rubyfoo

I can't stand fussbudget men!
3:47 am
Kazzer99

no - he was reasonably laid back about it though but its unusual to get such large stones but it was a fantastic sky
3:47 am
rubyfoo

what color sky?
3:47 am
rubyfoo

he probably cried when he got home....lol
3:47 am
rbud

when I was in college, we all used to put on construction hard hats and go out in the hail and stand around.
3:48 am
Kazzer99

almost pale pink and green in places - fantastic. tuesday we had fantastic mammatus under the cu nims
3:48 am
rbud

silly us.
3:48 am
rubyfoo

majoring in party!!
3:48 am
rubyfoo

when I lived in the Midwest, a green sky often predicted tornadoes
3:48 am
Kazzer99

we used to wander around in thunder storms with umbrellas!
3:49 am
rubyfoo

do you get brilliant sunsets, kaz?
3:49 am
rubyfoo

ours are rather bland
3:49 am
rbud

yes, there's a nasty green-brown color that goes with tornadoes, it's true.
3:49 am
Kazzer99

I have only seen one tornado in this country though they are very common here just not that powerful
3:49 am
rubyfoo

isn't umbrella/thunderstorm a good way to get lightning-struck?
3:50 am
rbud

HA! got the last brownie! yay!
3:50 am
rubyfoo

I've seen water-spouts off Florida, but only tornado warnings
3:50 am
rubyfoo

yay for rbud!
3:50 am
Kazzer99

thats a difficult one ruby as we live on the east side of a hill so at home we don't really see them but if we go up to the top of the hill it can be fantastic. I used to be a weather observer and only once i have seen the green flash
3:51 am
Kazzer99

wtg rbud
3:51 am
rubyfoo

oh boy, never seen that
3:51 am
Kazzer99

just 11 left for me
3:51 am
rubyfoo

the two dogs just came crashing into the studio!
3:52 am
rubyfoo

they're both wet and stinky!
3:52 am
rubyfoo

and muddy
3:52 am
Kazzer99

are they getting on well? and though this might be painful have you had any news about your other boy
3:53 am
rbud

nothing friendlier than a wet dog, lol
3:53 am
Kazzer99

specially when they are chunky and big and want a cuddle
3:54 am
Kazzer99

I am loving my volunteer walking at the moment - they have a batch of puppies - stuffy mastiff crosses
3:54 am
rubyfoo

oh, you didn't hear; after two weeks, the handyman found Max at the bottom of our fishpond! We buried him quietly next to the two other graves and I didn't tell my husband
3:54 am
rubyfoo

RIP Max
3:54 am
rubyfoo

Ruby is still annoyed by the puppy, but he is brilliant and they'll work it out
3:54 am
rubyfoo

how big are the mastiffs?
3:55 am
Kazzer99

oh I am sorry Ruby - at least you have closure with this
3:55 am
rubyfoo

and I talked with my son and husband's daughter, and we all agreed there was no point in telling him
3:55 am
rubyfoo

and the new pup is making him smile again
3:55 am
rbud

are you still trying to convince the puppy not to go near the pond? I worry about him, as you said he drinks from it too.
3:56 am
Kazzer99

well 4 weeks ago the biggest boy at 8 weeks was about a foot to 15 inches long - 2 weeks ago he had doubled in size - soif he is still there on sunday he could be ginormous
3:56 am
rubyfoo

you can never replace a dead pet, but there is room in your heart to love a new one
3:56 am
rubyfoo

Rufie has gained about 2 kg in a month!
3:57 am
rubyfoo

when I tried to discourage him from drinking from the pond, he just re-doubled his efforts
3:57 am
rbud

that figures! :P
3:57 am
rubyfoo

and Max drank from the pond for years before this happened.....
3:57 am
Kazzer99

cor blimey he's growing well - I really want a dog but no chance at the mo so I will walk ones other people don't want
3:57 am
rubyfoo

I'm just praying a lot and making promises.....
3:58 am
rbud

maybe Max had some sort of heart attack or something, and fell in. not just a slip in balance.
3:58 am
rubyfoo

I love the way mastiffs look
3:58 am
rubyfoo

I hope that's what happened
3:59 am
rubyfoo

it's hard to imagine how he fell in since he would go to his full height to drink and get his front paws over the (high) rocky rim
4:00 am
rubyfoo

what's funny about the puppy is that his color is changing by the day
4:00 am
rubyfoo

good bye, ladies, now I have to make a Campari for himself!
4:00 am
rbud

hmm, after a fish? or maybe a bird or duck or something in the water. we'll never know.
4:01 am
rubyfoo

50 words and lovely to see you both!!!
4:01 am
Kazzer99

I have added Fernes url to my profile - there is a page for adopting animals and you can see the doggies that are available
4:01 am
rbud

later then, ruby! (((hugs)))
4:01 am
rubyfoo

but it's better than having been hit by a car and dying in somebody else's garden
4:01 am
Kazzer99

by e Ruby - have a good rest of the day. off to docs soon myself.
4:01 am
rubyfoo

I'm afraid to look, kaz, lol!
4:02 am
Kazzer99

bye rbud - i am off as well but will be back later
4:02 am

oh, wow, sheep and horses, too!

had a b.... of a day at work. at one stage had 3 children in recovery ( one of which was trying to climb out of his trolley) and 2 urology patients, one whose BP was 49. and 3 staff to deal with said patients....i'm absolutely knackered
6:02 am
NonoNanette

oh my, that was a gruelling day!
6:03 am
grannyrose

lol, nanette, and the more we "cope" with the situation, the less staff we get. go figure!!!!
6:04 am
NonoNanette

I could never understand why they make nurses work 10 or 12 hour shifts. It is such a trying job and you really need to be at your very best
6:05 am
grannyrose

all good outcomes, except for the person whose BP was so low....he had a bleeder ( arterial ) in his bladder, went back to theatre tonight. bleeder cauterised, all good when i finally got to come home. *sigh* would sopmeone please tell me why i do this job?
6:06 am
rubyfoo

because you are a saint, rose!!!
6:06 am
grannyrose

nanette, 10 - 12 hour shifts gives better continuum of care for patients...and as nurses that is what we strive for.
6:06 am
NonoNanette

God bless you Rose

6:10 am
grannyrose

it's a pale p[ink tea rose, the perfume is heavenly. i have one near my clothes line. sheets come in, smelling heavenly
6:10 am
NonoNanette

I don't think I could adjust to an Apple, the operating system is so different
6:10 am
rubyfoo

that is lovely. Now I have to look up tea roses to see if I have any
6:11 am
NonoNanette

A friend of mine got one last year and ended up taking it back because he couldn't adjust to it
6:11 am
rubyfoo

most of my roses don't have any scent at all
6:11 am
grannyrose

rub, usually they are quite a small rose, in clusters
6:11 am
rubyfoo

they (son and DIL) keep telling me I'll have no more problems.....
6:12 am
grannyrose

ummm, that would be * ruby *
6:13 am

it has been raining for a couple of days, so hedge guys haven't finished, but they're on the way to pick up the huge piles of cuttings from the half-finished job

blessed sleep, granny
7:10 am
lynxxx

I imagine there are no direct flights to the US from Perth so will be changing in Sydney
7:11 am
kje

7 hours... ugh...that is a long layover
7:11 am
kje

although, it is long enough that she can just stick her stuff in a locker and hit the city if she wants... that could be cool
7:12 am
Trifioso

yes, tis. i wish she could leave the airport and see a bit of the city, but that is not allowed due to visa and security restrictions
7:12 am
lynxxx

perth is 4+ hours flight to Sydney
7:12 am
kje

really? that sucks
7:12 am
sprite

too bad :( But anyway, it is long enough to have a nap or have a quiet meal.
7:14 am
Trifioso

yes. I tried to get the flight through melbourne, as herin was kind enough to say she would entertain her for the time, but there was no way to connect that way -- or at least, one Icould afford!
7:14 am

I used the U !

7:15 am

hi Bichon
7:15 am
kje

maybe a day membership to the airline club for whatever airline she is flying? (like AA's admiral club)
7:15 am
bichon

That's a good idea kj
7:16 am
sprite

indeed
7:16 am
Trifioso

not allowed for those under 18 I already checked....though I do wonder if justin bieber, say, or the obama girls would find that true
7:17 am
kje

I did not know that - that sucks
7:17 am
sprite

no... they would be offered a free membership. Fame has its perks.
7:17 am
Trifioso

it's people watching, snacks, and window shopping for my middle one
7:17 am
kje

oh well, she will get to feel the real world traveler for a bit then... hanging out in airports all over, sleeping on the bench with her backpack under her head, eating crappy airport food.... all a slice of life
7:18 am
sprite

people watching is always fun. And reading. I could spend hours reading.
7:18 am
Trifioso

I could write a travel guide for teens with all I have learned through planning and executing this trip, believe me!
7:18 am
Trifioso

I could write a travel guide for teens with all I have learned through planning and executing this trip, believe me!
7:19 am
sprite

you could write two!
7:19 am
kje

that is not a bad idea... i know their are travel guides for women, or seniors, etc... why not teens
7:19 am
bichon

I didn't realize she was still in high school. Do they allow kids under 18 on the plane unaccompanied
7:19 am
sprite

chapter one: CALL YOUR MUM! At least once a day!
7:19 am
kje

most guides are aimed at the college age group/young adult
7:20 am
Trifioso

mostly because 99% of the parents in the US are now such over bearing helicopters they would never consider sending their kid across town, let alone across the planet! I could write ANOTHER book about all the sh** I have gotten from people who feel I am the worst mother on eart for letting her go
7:21 am
Trifioso

yes, they do bichon, but not with "unaccompanied minor" status - she just has to fly on her own, no special supervision or whatnot
7:21 am
sprite

not here, I hope, Trif. I think you did great. You have given her a real gift. Your trust, for one. And all the amazing things she learned from this. Beats 3 years at school.
7:22 am
kje

i hate that people think they can give you their opinion about stuff that is none of their business as soon as you are pregnant or have kids.... like the pregnant mom buying junk food and someone tells her taht is bad for her baby
7:22 am
Trifioso

thanks sprite.
7:22 am
Kaplan the Magne

Tri, don't get me started on that one. It's a big deal for kids to walk two naighborhood blocks on their own to visit a friend. Unbelievable.
7:22 am
Trifioso

I know kaplan. and how sad
7:22 am
kje

i want to walk up to some pot bellied man buying cheetos and say - you know how bad that is for you? never would happen, but everyone feels they can tell a mom how bad they are
7:22 am
sprite

ohhhh I am right with you, kje! Don't start me on that one. How about the people who think they can touch your tummy because you are pregnant?
7:23 am
Trifioso

besides, she went to go stay with FAMIL Y, not some bunch of strangers. I put it down to jealousy, I guess
7:23 am
Kaplan the Magne

Society of anxiety.
7:23 am
Trifioso

that is true, kaplan, but very hard to say out loud!
7:24 am
sprite

she will cherish this trip forever. You won't believe how much she will have matured, when you go pick her up!
7:24 am
bichon

Did she attend high school there?
7:24 am
kje

more kids should travel and get a world view... would change things a lot
7:24 am
Kaplan the Magne

You think there is any correlation between kids not being allowed to walk to school alone and the preponderance of opiate addictions once the kids have a teeny bit of freedom?
7:25 am
sprite

kje, I don't want to tell the pot-bellied man that either. I simply hate people judging the whole time and thinking they know what another should do or not do. They don't know shit. Let them walk in my shoes before they judge my path.
7:25 am
Trifioso

I do have a few worries on that score, sprite. I figure we will naturally be a bit strange with each other, the first couple of days...I am sure she has changed quite a lot
7:25 am
kje

you are a GREAT mom for letting her go, trif
7:25 am
Kaplan the Magne

Yes.
7:25 am
Trifioso

and, yes, she absolutely did go to school there, and she had a blast and got great grades and made a ton of new friends
7:26 am
sprite

some, probably, Kaplan. What we have here are kids that are always brought to school by car, then go to highschool on bikes for the very first time, and then have lots of accidents.
7:26 am
Trifioso

if you are even remotely interested, she did write a short blog: http://fionaelliott.blogspot.com.au/
7:26 am
sprite

don't worry, Trif. Just let it work itself out. You will meet her as she is now, and let her ramble, and things will work out just fine.
7:26 am

she is a horrible speller, so be warned!

Al 5/12 I could easily finish the grid early, I am going to save my last word. Now here is a story. My Aunt An 4/4 and my Uncle Al4/4 introduced me to Babbleland a few years ago. When I first started babbling I took an oa4/5 to complete grids every single day. However, my pl 4/5 to finish every grid, did not happen.It was pl5/12 to see that with life and work, that would be impossible. Even though I am definitely no ma5/16 for some of the other Babble ma5/18s,I am so glad to be a part of the Babble ma 5/12 in the chat log. I mo 4/5 and groan at some of the jokes told,but I so appreciate the camaraderie with other players.Now that I have ho 4/6ed you with clues I am going to go eat some na 5/14s and watch the movie Dead Ca4/6.Husband is about to sna5/14 the computer away from me anyway. I hope that you have obta4/4ed more words with my story of clues. Ci 4/5 for now! BBL!

onyx - i really didn't like that movie.. in a way i think it was prob a good movie because it disturbed me but then i didn't like it cause it disturbed me.. lol
4:08 pm
mummy

yawn, oh only another movie...
4:08 pm
movieman

I'm seeing 'The Cabin in the Woods' on Monday
4:08 pm
onyx

Not as good as the book. A distopian world that was sadly abbreviated in the movie.
4:09 pm
doseffing

... Haven't read the book but I hope it's better than the movie ... the movie didn't really explain why the society was doing this and what the powers be were hoping or expecting to gain ... ... really didn't show why the kids were doing it .... i.e. motivations were bad ... of course they can cover that with twenty pages of explanation in the book ... but it isn't action so it gets left out of the movie
4:11 pm
onyx

True. The book explains the history and complexities of how the world got to be that way and that some of the tributes were trying to resist. A whole resistance movement was born from Katniss and her actions
4:11 pm
movieman

I'll DEFINITELY be seeing 'The Avengers' at the end of the month
4:12 pm
onyx

Oh yeah and the prequel for Alien.
4:12 pm

... because you liked the comics? or because you like explosionx? ... must admit that I found Iron Man really disappointing
4:13 pm
onyx

Cause i read those comics when i was a kid
4:13 pm

And The Dark Knight Rises, and Skyfall, and The Hobbit, and the new Spider-Man film
4:13 pm

... yeah ... it was a tough one today ... ... g'night
4:19 pm

Must have had to read the Books.
4:20 pm
MollyL

Don't get the appeal of the story, books or movie. Like Lbuxx said, disturbing. I don't read or go to the movies to get disturbed.
4:20 pm
bichon

It's a series of books meant for young adults in a dystopian future
4:21 pm
MollyL

I'm familiar with what it's about Bich. That is why I've had no desire to get into the story.
4:22 pm
bichon

Hubby and I read the books. I liked the first. The next one was repetitive and the third was okay. But, violent as they are, they have a lot to say.
4:22 pm
bichon

That's okay Molly, not everybody lkes the same things.
4:22 pm
onyx

well to each their own. I have seen a whole lot of kids get really excited about reading as a result of the books. mostly young teen boys who would not ordinarily read. Good against evil. Adventure. Sci fi.
4:22 pm
doseffing

... kids who read seem to like them because they're the heros who beat the bad grown ups
4:23 pm
onyx

I don't think that is their only appeal some of the grown ups are good. some of the kids are evil
4:24 pm
bichon

Katniss is a strong hero making a lot of ethical choices. That's why I enjoyed the book.
4:25 pm
MollyL

It's funny how when someone (me) expresses an opinion here that is not in sync with someone else, it always garners that "to each their own" comment. Hey, it's okay if you (anyone) likes these stories. And it's okay for me to say I don't get the appeal. That's conversation.
4:25 pm
onyx

The movie over simplified the nuances of the book. Katniss is the hero but Peeta and Cinna and Gael are too
4:27 pm
doseffing

... always the problem ... ... I've read LOTR 10 or 20 times ... but everything that I read the books for is not in the movie at all ... because it's not action or acdtionable ... ... didn't like those movies at all
4:27 pm
onyx

Molly, i did not mean any thing by the comment. Certainly not being critical
4:28 pm
onyx

Me either dose. In fact the lotr movies missed the whole point of the books
4:28 pm
lbuxx

molly.. i usually dont get "disturbed" by movies at all.. big horror movie fan. .but this one got me.. i think it was because kids were involved..
4:28 pm
doseffing

... I'm sure it's the same with the Hunger games
4:30 pm
onyx

I personally like to read things that "disturb" me gets me to think.
4:30 pm
bichon

liked the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for the same reason, the strength of a woman character and it didn't have anything to do with sex.
4:31 pm
MollyL

I could not get through The Lord Of The Rings books at all. Way too much description. I loved the movies though.
4:31 pm
doseffing

... yeah ... but I walked out of Titanic because I didn't need to watch real people in a real situation die in terror over an extended time ... ...
4:31 pm
onyx

Couldn't watch the movies!
4:32 pm
bichon

LOTR, especially the poetry is real literature
4:33 pm
bichon

IMHO
4:33 pm
doseffing

... yes ... but the whole history and character and reason for being in LOTR had to be left out ... and that's what i read the books to enjoy
4:33 pm
MollyL

Titanic is like everyone's nightmare. Who wants to go see that on the big screen?
4:34 pm
lbuxx

down to 3.. can someone clue the to 5/10?
4:34 pm
bichon

4:40 pm

ahh.. i'll come back to it later.. gotta run.. have a good weekend all :-)
4:40 pm

well, I think I will go put out food and such; it's probably about actual normal party-starting time. SEe you tomorrow fellow babblers!

hey all ((gives Min lovely choclits)) I taught FOUR days this week! All at the same school -- new personal record!
8:58 pm
rbud

thanks for the clue story, Minver, I got several from it. :)
8:58 pm
jesdraggon

yay stid!
8:58 pm

wtg stid
8:59 pm
rbud

oh, nice, stiddy! :)
9:00 pm
stidmama

I hope you-all had nice weeks and are now enjoying the beginning of a lovely weekend?
9:00 pm
Minveryork

Hello stidmama!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
9:01 pm
Minveryork

I taught ZERO days this week and LOVED it! How were your four days of teaching stidmama? It sounds like you liked it.
9:02 pm
Minveryork

Hello rbud! How are you doing? I am glad my story helped.
9:02 pm
stidmama

oooh. CA 7 tree!!!
9:03 pm
stidmama

they were mostly good, Wednesday was very challenging. The kids in those classes by and large were not accustomed to doing actual work when substitutes were in the room, and so there were a few issues, but mostly minor ones. :-) I am getting WAY better at avoiding, averting and adapting to disasters!
9:03 pm
jesdraggon

mmm. chocotaco
9:03 pm
stidmama

YESSSSS!!! NBT already!
9:04 pm
Minveryork

How dare you,a sub, who actually expects kids to do work!
9:04 pm
DR1965

Hi Stid and rbud
9:04 pm
rbud

do kids still do things to subs like we used to - "pssst, at exactly 2:15 let's all drop our pencils at once!!" lol!
9:04 pm
Minveryork

:)
9:04 pm
stidmama

rofl Min! a MEAN sub, so unreasonable...
9:04 pm
wht

Stid, if you can do well as a sub, it should be easier when you have your own class.
9:05 pm
stidmama

they try, rbud. I wait, and then if I have to wait too long explain that if they waste my time during instruction I will waste the time they are given to get to the next class... *wicked teacher look* it usually works, even when I am bluffing!
9:06 pm
Minveryork

Sometimes I have to cover classes for teachers who do not get subs and they treat me like I'm a sub and I'm a regular teacher whom they see every single day in the building.
9:07 pm
stidmama

yep. I don't let the kids get very far with that one. I tell them that I am a REAL teacher who is taking time this year to be available for my family... which is true. And that eases some of their anxiety over the day not being what they anticipated.
9:08 pm
stidmama

thanks wht -- that is the other reason I chose to sub. I knew my basic classroom management needed work (it wasn't really addressed in my teacher program other than as theory), so figured my best bet was to get in there and see how lots of other teachers set their kids up for success. At least, that's the plan. Occasionally I am taking notes on how I will NEVER run my classroom...
9:09 pm
jesdraggon

I don't think i ever did mean things to a sub... now, my regular teachers, they either loved or despised me...
9:09 pm
rbud

a friend of mine who subbed for years said she used to tell the kids she was "powermad" and would make their lives miserable if they didn't cooperate, haha!
9:09 pm
jesdraggon

but it wasn't intentional. i'm just, er, difficult? sometimes.
9:10 pm
Minveryork

I once had a kid tell me that ESL isn't a REAL class so he doesn't have to go.I told him that if he skips my class he will have REAL consequences which he then soon found out when he tried to skip the class. Don't mess with me!
9:11 pm
stidmama

Funny thing is, jes -- I have basically enjoyed ALL the kids I have worked with, even when I wasn't able to meet all their needs. It's frustrating, but usually it's not the kid's fault, right? I don't understand when teachers give kids the impression they aren't "good" -- although to be honest by the time the kids reach the upper grades so often they have internalized (from home or school or someone else) that "bad kid" persona that they really do make things very difficult on purpose. Which, my dear jes, I am sure you never did.
9:11 pm
stidmama

OH!!!! JESS!!!!!!


do you want to hear my hummingbird rescue story?
9:13 pm
jesdraggon

heh. no, i was difficult on teachers for non-standard reasons. like requesting to take 2 independent study courses from the same teacher during his "free" period. Poor guy ended up teaching 3 different classes to a group of about a dozen of us.
9:14 pm
stidmama

oh.... *giggle* you were more driven as a student than I was. I just took the basic A/B grade and floated on through.
9:15 pm
jesdraggon

and we were all nuts. he walked into class one day, and there were 2 people standing on desks making bird calls, one walking backwards around the room pulling a little wooden ducky on wheels while someone else tried to steal it, and 2 people playing ... crap. forget the name. the "game" where you stab a knife into the table between your fingers as fast as you can? playing that with a barbie leg (no idea where the rest of the barbie was), and the rest of us playing hangman at the blackboard...
9:15 pm
stidmama

oh. only just found the word that the Dutch call "gracht"
9:16 pm
jesdraggon

i like hummingbirds :)
9:16 pm
stidmama

*gasp*


*heavy sigh*


(whispered) oh dear...
9:16 pm
Minveryork

I have to say that I was a goodie two shoes in school. I had perfect attendance in high school until senior year. Then I had my first absence when I took a day to go visit a college
9:16 pm
rbud

I want to hear about the hummingbird, stid!!

all ears --> )o(
9:17 pm
jesdraggon

I almost failed to graduate...
9:17 pm
stidmama

okay, so yesterday was lovely and I did NOT work. So in the afternoon I opened the back door so Lucky could come in and out. HE went for walkabout by himself (I should have seen that coming, but didn't) and the hummingbird decided to visit the budgies.
9:17 pm
Minveryork

My high school had this thing called "Senior Skip Day" when all of the seniors would skip a day of school. Do you think I did it,nope! Needless to say, I was not part of the "in"crowd
9:17 pm
jesdraggon

because I didn't have enough fine arts credits. Too busy taking science classes. ended up finagling them into accepting wood-shop as a fine arts class.
9:17 pm
wht

I was mostly good in school except for my Senior year civics class where I know more about the subject than the teacher.
9:17 pm
stidmama

But the budgies are in the middle of the main living space, and the kitchen is so much brighter... with the skylight (which doesn't open) and all.
9:18 pm
stidmama

so the little critter got all confused and tried to fly out the skylight. And didn't know to go DOWN and out the door.
9:18 pm
rbud

oh dear!
9:18 pm
stidmama

I had to find the old pool skimmer (down by the shed, not sure where we got it, we never had a pool!) and the dustmop.
9:19 pm
stidmama

Put the dustmop up to trap the hummer so it had to stop and rest on it (by this time the little guy was really tired anyway, and kept panting).
9:19 pm
Minveryork

I don't know, maybe it's just me being from New England, but what is a budgie stidmama?
9:19 pm
stidmama

Then I had to hold the pool skimmer over it to block it from thinking it could fly up and back to the skylight. Took about six tries.
9:19 pm
jesdraggon

parakeet, minver
9:20 pm
Minveryork

Oh, ok
9:20 pm
stidmama

I am very glad that I was able to get it outside again, it looked quite bedraggled by the time I was done.
9:20 pm
stidmama

thanks jes
9:20 pm
stidmama

*proud mama look* I was as stubborn with that little guy as I am with my students!
9:21 pm
Minveryork

You did a good deed saving that hummingbird! Because of you, that hummingbird is probably with its family again.
9:21 pm
wht

Stid, I always liked the teachers who expected a lot from their students.
9:22 pm
wht

I had this odd belief that learning was fun.
9:22 pm
rbud

very dexterous of you, stid, to manage the two long handles! good job!
9:23 pm
jesdraggon

good job stid :)
9:23 pm
stidmama

thanks, wht! I do expect a lot, and I find that MOST of the kids, even the ones who struggle, like to have someone tell them they are capable of the next step. And then step in to support as needed.
9:23 pm
jesdraggon

and now, i must away to remove the porcupine quills from the mastiff. ta!
9:23 pm
stidmama

oh no jes! spring, of course! see you later. ((hugs))
9:23 pm
rbud

I was bad, the outstanding highest scoring student, and constantly bored, so I had my own permanent hall pass and key to the counselor's office, to help keep me out of trouble.
9:24 pm
jesdraggon

oh, before i go-- you should (if you haven't heard it already) look up how to turn your classroom into a roleplaying game :)
9:24 pm
rbud

oh, poor mastiff! no fun to be a pincushion! good luck with that, jes!
9:24 pm
stidmama

hm... will go do that now jes! :-D
9:25 pm
Minveryork

Learning was a lot f fun when I was little, but now it seems like education has turned into test prep and nothing else.
9:25 pm
stidmama

some kids need that, rbud -- I try to get those kids to engage in other ways whenever possible. But it's a tricky balancing act, keeping all the kids challenged in their own ways in these really crowded classrooms.
9:26 pm
stidmama

okay, Lucky needs his mama. back later *poof*
9:26 pm
rbud

I never actually graduated high school, went to college on an early entry program. have a dbl BS, but no high school diploma. hard to explain on job aps.
9:26 pm
rbud

later, stid, jes
9:28 pm
Minveryork

Next week, thestudents in New York take the state ELA tests and the week after that they take the Math exams Then 4th and 8th graders have to take the science tests and all the ESL students have to take the state ESL test.
9:28 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
9:28 pm
wht

rbud, when our son was in 5'th grade, we were having one of our continuing arguments with him about doing his homework, and he said to us, "but when I'm in college, no one will care what my grades were in 5'th grade."
9:29 pm
wht

That stopped the argument. We knew he was right, but he wasn't supposed to have figured that out yet.
9:29 pm
Minveryork

And how did you respond to that wht? Your son was correct
9:30 pm
wht

It stopped us cold at the time, but it didn't stop the fights over homework.
9:32 pm
wht

It was only later that we learned that he had executive function problems that made doing homework really hard for him. We were still thinking that if he just applied himself a little, he would do really well.
9:32 pm
rbud

I was soooo bored in school, would yak away and distract other kids, but could still quote back verbatim whatever the teacher had said... they hated me.
9:33 pm
wht

It was a real challenge. He is very smart but he also has learning disabilities. It is a surprisingly tough combination to deal with.
9:34 pm
rbud

oh, I hear that. our son is genius level IQ but spent years in alternative schools, for pretty much what I used to get away with back in the day. he never wanted to do homework, wouldn't bring it home. couldn't concentrate, bored easily.
9:35 pm
wht

I was never social enough to distract other kids, rbud. I would do things like do my assingned reading during lectures, and things like that.
9:35 pm
rbud

constantly "taking others off task" - I got so tired of seeing that on the notes he'd bring home...
9:35 pm
wht

At least he brought them home, rbud.
9:35 pm
rbud

well, at least you were being productive!
9:35 pm
Minveryork

I never knew why I had to take Probability. To this day I do not use it that much except to try amd figure out what the probability of me finishing a a babble grid on a given day
9:36 pm
rbud

lol, Min! :)
9:36 pm
wht

Yea rbud. I usually had my homework done by the time I got home from school. And I never had study halls.
9:38 pm
rbud

they wouldn't let my hubby graduate high school, though he had plenty of credits - he got a full time job in senior year and skipped the last half of the day for the whole year - now they have programs allowing kids to do just that.
9:39 pm
rbud

he'd have been the valedictorian if they'd let him graduate, sigh...
9:39 pm
rbud

so eventually, in his 30's, he took and passed the GED test in only one try to get the paper.
9:40 pm
Minveryork

Homework was never an issue for me.It was just part of my daily routine. Come home and eat a snack and start homework,then have dinner and finish homework after dinner and then bed. Was only allowed to watch the TV once a week for an hour so that wasn't even part of the daily routine.Maybe that is why I am addictef to TV now
9:40 pm
rbud

everyone else (127 of them) he was in the GED class with had to take classes, he tested out.
9:42 pm
Minveryork

Not that I am really addicted TV, but I do have it on all the time as background noise if I am not actually watching it.
9:42 pm
rbud

I liked homework, actually, used to do it up fancy when I could, loved graphic design type things, maps, drawings, diaramas...
9:42 pm
Minveryork

Believe it or not, I do not watch any shows that are on now
9:43 pm
rbud

there's not much worth watching, I don't think.
9:43 pm
wht

I loved research papers. I loved looking stuff up.
9:44 pm
rbud

oh, me, too - used to do other people's papers in college for money, lol!
9:44 pm
MollyL

<---Thinks Wht was Teacher's Pet
9:44 pm
Minveryork

I always had trouble with homework. My parents had to help me every night.Was very fortunate enough to have parents who cared and supported my education.I see so many parents today who do not care about education.
9:44 pm
rbud

now I'm a librarian, maybe it was all that happy time spent in libraries back then...
9:46 pm
wht

I never tried to make nice to the teachers. I just wanted to learn.
9:46 pm
MollyL

Min, sadly, that is true. Parents seem to take very little interest in their kids education these days.
9:47 pm
wht

But there was one time in high school physics where we had a test that I had completely spaced out on. I walked into class and the teacher started passing out the tests, and I had no clue there was a test that day.
9:47 pm
rbud

oh, dear, wht, how'd you do?
9:48 pm
Minveryork

Unfortunately, library program suffered budget cuts.We do have a full time librarian.Only certain grades get library as a prep. We used to have a great librarian in our school.
9:48 pm
wht

I totally tanked the test. There was another boy in the class who was all excited because he had gotten a better grade than I had for the first time. Then the teacher said that he thought that maybe the test was too hard, and when he saw that I had done poorly, he decided that he wouldn't count the grades.
9:49 pm
wht

My friend was really angry about that. He beat me and it didn't count.
9:49 pm
MollyL

The teacher decided the test was too hard because you didn't do well on it?
9:49 pm
Minveryork

Art and music programs have also suffered fro budget cuts.
9:49 pm
wht

Yep
9:51 pm
wht

I wasn't honorable enough to admit what had happened. I just accepted that on that day the universe was smiling on me.
9:51 pm
MollyL

Wow, I've never heard anything like that before. A teacher gauging the severity of a test on one student.
9:51 pm
wht

Well, he was thinking that he had made the test too hard before he started grading it.
9:51 pm
rbud

they used to throw out my grades all the time to make the bell curve work, the kids hated me for that - and that was in college! :P
9:52 pm
Minveryork

I stayed up for the flip last night for cosdem. Not sure if I'll make it tonite.My brain is starting to fade very quickly now
9:52 pm
MollyL

Wow, I'm not smart enough for this group.
9:53 pm
Minveryork

Me neither MollyL!
9:53 pm
rbud

well, that was also after I took 5 years off to party and came back much older, wiser and more motivated
9:54 pm
wht

Well that was when I was smart. Then I had kids and they taught me that I wasn't as smart as I thought.
9:54 pm
Minveryork

It was hard growing up not being the "smart" one in the family.My two sisters were the smart ones in the family.
9:55 pm
wht

Altough apparently, now that they are in their twenties, I have started knowing something again. :^)
9:55 pm
Minveryork

My 2 sisters were able to get good grades without studying
9:56 pm
rbud

<--- still waiting for our kids to discover I'm not as think as they dumb I am, lol
9:57 pm
Minveryork

Had to have tutors all through high school and college and I still struggled trying to get just okay grades. Barely made it through high school and college, but I did fortunately.
9:58 pm
Minveryork

LOL rbud!
9:59 pm
wht

Min, that is one of the reasons I would make a lousy teacher, I never had to work at learning, so I never had to think about how to do it.
9:59 pm
wht

I can't understand why people don't get things that seem obvious to me.
10:00 pm
wht

If I had to work at it, I would have a better understanding of how to help other people get it.
10:04 pm
Minveryork

I grew up in a family of intellectuals, however, that was not me. Even now, when I go home, i don't understand half of the things they talk about. So I just sit there and say nothing. They are so in tuned with everything in the world&then there's me who does not read a newspaper.
10:04 pm
wht

Well time for me to go. Happy Babbling all. And none of this will be on the test!
10:04 pm
Minveryork

Goodnight wht! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
10:11 pm
rbud

oh, wandered off for a minute, had to rescue a table I had painted white from Hubby's shop, where he was beginning a black spray painting job, could have a speckled table! :P
10:12 pm
rbud

wouldn't want that!
10:15 pm
Minveryork

It must be the day for babblers save things today. First, stidmama saves a hiummingbird, then you save a table.
10:16 pm
rbud

especially since it took me almost 2 years (off and on) of stripping, rebuilding, sanding, gluing, and painting to get it looking this good, lol! :D
10:17 pm
jmcnrick

omg what a great game! Nats Nats Nats!
10:17 pm

go rbud go
10:22 pm

i think nbt was enough for me
10:23 pm
jmcnrick

just psyched from the game and needed a small bite of the grid to finish the day
10:23 pm
rbud

th 4 and 5, would never have noticed them without the list, sigh... will never be able to come close to dart and volley and the like, just don't have the babblet brain.
10:24 pm
Minveryork

Me neither rbud, as I duly noted in my story of clues today.
10:25 pm
jmcnrick

i think they monkey faster than some as well as knowing prodigious amounts of words
10:26 pm
rbud

<--- not a good monkier, either. :(
10:26 pm
jmcnrick

me either i always lose track except for 4 letter words
10:27 pm
rbud

I just plod along, happy to make halfway most days. but I like to find the big ones before I give up.
10:28 pm
Minveryork

That is about the extent of my babbling skills also, 4 letter words. Then if I am luck I can get some 5 letter words also.
10:28 pm
Minveryork

*lucky
10:28 pm
jmcnrick

i can get longer ones but not from monkeying them
10:29 pm
Minveryork

ALWAYS resort to the list after I have found half the words.
10:29 pm
jmcnrick

there have been a couple of smaller non-mean grids i got without a list but none without a clue!
10:30 pm
Minveryork

I will NEVER be a babbler who is able to babble sans lists.
10:30 pm
rbud

ac7/36, strange one. like booze, al*o*** (but leave out the first L and O) and end with two vowels
10:31 pm
rbud

or similar to the end of melan******, a state of depression and sadness
10:31 pm
jmcnrick

ty rbud that makes nbs for me
10:32 pm
rbud

that may have been one of the hardest 7's, though the ji7 is odd, too, some sort of spanish turnip.
10:32 pm
rbud

oops, that's a ji6, not 7
10:32 pm
jmcnrick

ji6? i eat that all the time. . . mexican and more like a radish
10:33 pm
jmcnrick

cut it up in strips for a nice crunch to your salad
10:33 pm
rbud

there is vi 6 AND vi 7, never heard of them before
10:33 pm

hmmm, so I keep reading in the chog, may have to try it, I like that sort of thing.

i have a va6

very refreshing with a little little bite not as much as a decent radish
10:35 pm

okie I am done for the night with 66 left
