8:31 am

Nef

heartachy Hursh? What happened?

8:31 am

Aloyisius

hi Annie

8:32 am

Anniebrook

hi Aloy :)

8:32 am

hurshy

i had such a great day yesterday with my sister, niece & nephew, at sturbridge village. the contrast of returning to normal life is painful.

8:33 am

crosshair

howdy aloy,hursy,nef

8:33 am

Nef

:-)

8:33 am

Aloyisius

mornin, crossy

8:33 am

I'm glad that you had a great day; I understand....

8:33 am

Nef

hi crossy

8:33 am

8:34 am

Anniebrook

an8---rabbit ears on your TV of old

8:34 am

crosshair

ty annie

8:34 am

hurshy

sometimes it seems like it's not worth it to have good times

8:34 am

Aloyisius

ty Annie

8:35 am

Anniebrook

youre welcome crossy and hi

8:35 am

crosshair

do not forget to latin up that t.v truner for the an8

8:35 am

crosshair

lol,i need a tea,you said that already

8:35 am

Anniebrook

and the other an8 ---add Mr. Gore

8:36 am

Aloyisius

ooh, ty again Annie

8:36 am

Nef

I respectfully disagree, hursh. If it wasn't for the fantastic moments in life; it would be too much of a grind.

8:36 am

crosshair

ty again aniie:) did i ever tell you that you are my favorite? :))

8:36 am

Anniebrook

xxxx's

8:36 am

hurshy

i dunno, i feel like i am going through the grind ok, and then i have a good time, and i feel SO much worse coming back to work, the meaninglessness and stupidness of it shows up so much clearer

8:37 am

Aloyisius

maybe you are in the wrong line of work, hurshy?

8:37 am

Anniebrook

but it provides the paycheck that allows for the good times

8:37 am

hurshy

oh i am totally in the wrong line of work. but there isn't much i can do about it at the moment.

8:37 am

Anniebrook

I also agree with Aloy

8:37 am

Nef

That's what I think too. Time for a job or career change?

8:38 am

Aloyisius

yup, your inner self is telling you

8:38 am

hurshy

i am working while my husband does his PhD. he will hopefully be done in 2 more years and then if he can get a job then i can have more flexibility. for now, i apply to other things that pay enough, but i don't get them, so, oh well.

8:38 am

sarah6girls

ty x

8:38 am

Aloyisius

.. or guiding you

8:39 am

crosshair

trials and hard times in life are needed hurshy,as painful as they are.it is much like a sword being put to the fire and tempered again and again to strengthen its core as in life a body that has everything handed to it on a platter is a weak person and fails and the merest adversity,so too will a untempered blade shatter at its first battle..mmm..waxing poetic again..time for meds brb;)

8:40 am

hurshy

this is true crossy but i feel like most of my life has been like that, cause of depression and other things.

8:40 am

crosshair

lol,if i listed all of my last ten years even Job of the bible would feel sorry at times for me:)

8:41 am

Nef

I really hated my 2nd to the last job I had and couldn't stand it for a full year; once I decided I needed a change, my started looking around and even though I felt I wasn't qualified, I went to an interview "for interview experience" and that turned into the job I retired from.

8:41 am

crosshair

but we must hang tough and kicl each day in the scrote and rip and tear any goodness out of it each and every day

8:44 am

Nef

I've always felt that if you love what you do for a living, it isn't work; and also that I could earn enough to live on. My income from my last job was just 1/3 of what I made as a nurse working in the hospital; but we had "enough" because I was happy.

8:44 am

crosshair

but i am here by the miracle of medicine and my beloved.this is my 4th life or so and all a bonus round or encore:) this means i can do nothing wrong and every second of every day is a gift.its like having a old life sent for a rebuild and detailing and coming back all nice and new and in the shrink wrap:)

8:45 am

Aloyisius

phantom: antelope

8:45 am

crosshair

same with my s,i.l nef.she was a nurse in trauma/triage for 15 year and scaled back to be a photographer and she holds classes twice a week for new nurses

8:48 am

crosshair

speaking of carpe diem,i best go "seize" some breakfast

8:49 am

Aloyisius

carpe bfast!

8:49 am

Nef

I loved working in SV-ICU; did it for 34 years and when I couldn't do it anymore because of my foot injury & surgeries; I didn't know what I'd do. Ending up running a prenatal clinic was such a drastic change; but so invigorating, and I ended up loving that too. (I still volunteer and act as a consultant there; but DH is now my main nursing focus).

8:50 am

Nef

leone

8:50 am

Nef

Opps

8:50 am

Nef

PB for me

8:50 am

Aloyisius

Nef, what is "DH"?... oh, dear hubby?

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Where is Molly today? She usually puts out a breakfast buffet that is lovely.

8:51 am

Nef

yes, 99.9% of the time it's Dear hubby; 0.1% of the time it's less flattering. ;-)

8:52 am

Aloyisius

ooh.. thunder and rain - good, we need some rain

8:53 am

Nef

We've had 9 inches of rain (at least) in about 2 weeks; you're welcome to it

8:55 am

Nef

(I'm glad this is an easier grid than yesterdays'; I feel more confident I'll finish this one)

9:00 am

Anniebrook

this was a nice grid...anyone want a clue before I take off?

9:00 am

Nef

not me, Annie. I'm still having fun with it

9:01 am

Nef

(BTW) YAY, Annie!!! WTG!!!

9:01 am

Anniebrook

lol, thanks, Nef and bye dear babblers

9:15 am

crosshair

9:17 am

lbdawger

glad you could sleep in! i've been up since 5am.

9:17 am

crosshair

but for today,i can happily babble till around 12,then real life calls again;)

9:18 am

crosshair

it is not often i sleep more than 3 hours at a time..was a real treat

9:19 am

crosshair

what was even better was the offspring got up himself at 06:30,found his own clothes,made his own lunch and quietly wnt to school

9:19 am

lbdawger

ahh, there's hope! yay for offspring!

9:21 am

crosshair

there is indeed he is doing 6 months of co-op at the local animal shelter and is worth 2 credits to his year end mark

9:22 am

crosshair

but as i feared,today we pick up a new kitten to add to our other 2 rescue kitties

9:23 am

Aloyisius

waves to Annie.. back.. was kicked off line , maybe the storm?

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Yay for rescuing a cat!

9:23 am

crosshair

made the mistake of brining the mrs in with me one day to pick my son up and of course she was surrounded by cute puff balls with big pleading eyes and 20 of them tried to curl into her lap all at once...i knew all hope was lost

9:23 am

crosshair

howdy scwabby

9:23 am

lbdawger

kitty will be well loved. Hi scrabs hi aloy

9:24 am

Aloyisius

hi Scrabbler!

9:24 am

Scrabbler

How is everybody?

9:24 am

Aloyisius

good, and you?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Hot and sweating already but it is sunny and beautiful so I am not complaining. I enjoy seeing my gardens come alive all summer.

9:25 am

Aloyisius

line of t-showers here

9:26 am

Aloyisius

are you growing veggies or flowers or both, Scrabs?

9:26 am

lbdawger

raining, here. *sigh*

9:26 am

Scrabbler

We had hail and a wicked thunderstorm during the night.

9:26 am

crosshair

25c-77f and rising here scwabby..hot and humid day

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Tomatoes, peppers + lettuce, then flowers.

9:27 am

Aloyisius

no green beans? my fave veg to grow

9:27 am

Scrabbler

I planted Columbine seeds--perennial. I did so much work over the last few days--weeding, I made 4 hanging planters (sweet potato vine + coleus), planted pansies (one of my faves), and prepared a new garden plot.

9:28 am

Aloyisius

nice! the joys of summer

9:28 am

Scrabbler

I should do beans too. I am doing more container planting on the deck. Do deer eat green beans? I prefer to not feed the deer. They devoured 2 dozen tulips this spring.

9:29 am

Aloyisius

groundhogs LOVE green beans and so do deer

9:30 am

crosshair

scrabby,when we lived further north we used to plant 2 gardens,one tented with chicken wire for us and in the furtest corner of the lot,away from the people garden,we planted and entire garden of romaine lettuce for rabbits,deer etc

9:31 am

Scrabbler

There are no groundhogs up here. I do see them in the nearby park. The raccoons are rascals too. They dig up newly planted flowers searching for bulbs to eat. And they have knocked down my hummingbird feeders a few times this past week. And they ate my unsowed sunflower seeds that sat on the icnic table.

9:31 am

Aloyisius

I had a neighbor who went to the feed store, bought a huge bag of rabbit food, and made a perimeter moat around his garden, lining it with the food.. the rabbits left his garden alone

9:32 am

Scrabbler

I have never seen rabbits up here either. They probably have to many predators to even have a chance.

9:32 am

Scrabbler

Great idea.

9:33 am

MollyL

The rabbits probably all left in a huff because they are jealous of your residential rabbits. : )

9:33 am

Aloyisius

yesterday I was weeding, heard a commotion in the trees, looked up as a huge hawk swooped overhead, carrying a baby bird and the parents were chasing it.. Mother Nature, sigh

9:33 am

stidmama

(((scrabs))) I am taking five minutes to play before I get my day started.

9:33 am

stidmama

hey all

9:33 am

crosshair

it worked for us as well,each fall it was easy to fill our deer tag for winter meat then all the rest of them were free to gorge before winter,in harsh winters i can remember us setting up feeding stations and salt licks

9:33 am

Aloyisius

howdy stid!

9:33 am

Scrabbler

There is a very bold raccoon that visits every evening and comes to my front deck. Last wk it was on my front steps at 5:30 pm.

9:36 am

crosshair

lbd,we did not bait.they were going to eat a garden on outr property..period..it could be ours or one we made for them..and the feeding station was at the request of the MNR as the deer were starving to death 2 winters in a row and eating bark off of trees to stay alive

9:36 am

9:39 am

crosshair

sorry

9:40 am

Aloyisius

true Molly

9:40 am

rubyfoo

give them a kiss for me! I give my p[ups kisses, but don't know if they understand

9:40 am

crosshair

last year i dug in the closet and showed my son an 8-track tape..should of seen his eyes

9:40 am

MollyL

And now for the Babble proverb...where there is the wager, there is also the volcano

9:40 am

rubyfoo

that is scary, molly

9:40 am

lbdawger

well, that took me a minute to connect with the rabbit ears...thinking people don't know what those long things are on a rabbit? *blush*

9:41 am

rubyfoo

inscribing that in stone, molly

9:41 am

Flask1

thanx to LBD and ALOY...:)

9:41 am

Every year, in the Fall, they do a list of what the coming year's graduating class has never heard of. Makes me feel old.

9:51 am

bye stid!

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I'll meet you there in my hot pants and platforms!

9:52 am

MollyL

I am surprised schools block Babble. It really is very educational.

9:52 am

bichon

There was an article in the paper here about how they were very popular in Europe, especially France. They look like a Portuguese Water Dog

9:52 am

rururocks

we used to get 4 channels

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I'll google it later, making a note

9:52 am

MollyL

Yes, Ru. There are. But they have no "male parts".

9:52 am

Aloyisius

about 25-30 minutes, Scrabbs.. keep me posted! (-:

9:53 am

Scrabbler

We got 3 channels until we got a UHF channel--PBS. We got a color TV WAY after most families.

9:53 am

mcurlschool

most classify it as a "game" which is sad because it is very educational. We have to be careful though because occasionally there are words inappropriate for elementary

9:53 am

MollyL

<---Thinks school systems blocking devices are fascist.

9:53 am

rururocks

or "Bits" as soodle calls them

9:53 am

Scrabbler

Cool, Aloy!

9:53 am

crosshair

and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!!!

9:53 am

MollyL

I know, but bits seems so...small.

9:53 am

bichon

We had color TV pretty soon. Dad loved to watch the BB games in color

9:53 am

crosshair

The hyoid bone is the only bone in the human body not connected to another bone.

9:54 am

rubyfoo

watch out for those male bits!!!

9:54 am

Aloyisius

I can row, ca.5.12? (my dad's corny joke)

9:54 am

bichon

I know the hyoid bone from CSI and cop shows

9:54 am

rururocks

where's the hyoid bone in the boddy

9:54 am

Scrabbler

It is an itsy bitsy thin bone in the neck, at the base of the tongue.

9:55 am

crosshair

yaa for scwabby!

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Haha Aloy

9:55 am

rubyfoo

9:55 am

bichon

Scrabs has an unfair advantage, she went to med school

9:55 am

rubyfoo

those are very educational!

9:55 am

Aloyisius

He used to say, "I don't talk so good lookin, but I do the best I am"

9:55 am

Scrabbler

One of my patients just had an excision of a thyroglossal cyst and part of the hyoid bone was removed.

9:55 am

MollyL

Not to be confused with the itsiest bitsiest stapes, in the ear.

9:56 am

crosshair

lol the male bits or my tidbits ruby??

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, the ear bones are wee.

9:56 am

bichon

I think my daughter had that when she was little, but it disappeared

9:56 am

Aloyisius

in someone so young? Isn't that unusual, Scrabs?

9:56 am

rubyfoo

hahah crossy, won't go into that

9:57 am

MollyL

It was amusing on the show "Bones" when she had her baby and the sign her friends made for her homecoming party said "Welcome Stapes"

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Really, bichon? It is a result of a developmental error during embryological life. My youngest sister had surgery for it.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Molly, what was the baby's name?

9:58 am

crosshair

27c or 81f..bounced up 4 degrees in last half hour:(

9:58 am

bichon

We brought her to a plastic surgeon and it sounded like he wanted to dissect her neck. We just waited on it and it closed up

9:58 am

Aloyisius

enjoy "Bones"

9:58 am

bichon

We brought her to a plastic surgeon and it sounded like he wanted to dissect her neck. We just waited on it and it closed up

9:58 am

MollyL

The baby's name was Christine, but her friends didn't know that yet, as she didn't name her right away.

9:58 am

Scrabbler

Aloy, this kid had an infected cyst so the ENT doc did more extensive surgery. I was surprised to read about it in the operative report.

9:59 am

Aloyisius

ugh.. hope all is well now

9:59 am

bichon

Hers used to get pus filled and drain

9:59 am

Scrabbler

That is puzzling, Bichon.

9:59 am

bichon

This was a long time ago, she's 33 now

10:00 am

Scrabbler

My sis is 49 and had surgery at 2.

10:02 am

10:49 am

Sounds lush, Crossy. Too much booze for me tho.

10:49 am

1/4 oz is the bar guide,1/2 oz is what the rest of us do and 1oz of each is party hearty

10:49 am

then use 1/4 oz measure

10:50 am

crosshair

if done right,you will not taste the alcohol,only iced tea flavour

10:51 am

Onyx, I actually had frozen watermelon today and was remembering that very thing fondly.

1:30 pm

EvaNadine

yes, everclear is generally 190 proof, but there are several states that have banned the full-strength version, so they have created a "milder" (i user that term relatively) version that weighs in at a mere 151

ty Molls, was looking in the wrong direction, again

5:32 pm

MollyL

With all the froo froo water bottles these days, I wonder if anyone but soldiers use ca7s.

5:32 pm

Magyk

po6?

5:32 pm

periwinkle

I use a stainless steel water bottle

5:32 pm

periwinkle

and refill it from the brita filter

5:33 pm

MollyL

Po6 is Irish moonshine

5:33 pm

MollyL

Thank God for Brita filters. I can't drink water out of the tap anymore.

5:33 pm

jesdraggon

po6 ends like the ca7

5:34 pm

Magyk

ty both!

5:34 pm

MollyL

*Sheds a few, wee tears that there are people here who don't know what po6 is* Sniff

5:34 pm

periwinkle

I never buy water in plastic bottles. I am not convinced that it is better than some tap water

5:35 pm

periwinkle

and the plastic clutters up the landfills

5:35 pm

MollyL

My son did a project in school about just how much those plastic water bottles clutter up the landfills. It was shocking.

5:36 pm

periwinkle

it is indeed, but some people just do not care :(

5:36 pm

periwinkle

companies should stop making it

5:36 pm

jesdraggon

bottled water often just is tap water, peri... but some areas have better tasting tap water than others, i guess.

5:36 pm

MollyL

I was really glad he took that environmental unit. It got him very interested in recycling and being nice to Ma Earth.

5:37 pm

medusa

no6/18 please?

5:37 pm

periwinkle

people seem to be convinced that they are getting some fancy smancy water, haha

5:37 pm

jesdraggon

so i just keep refilling the same plastic bottle over and over... I think i've had my current one for almost a year.

5:38 pm

periwinkle

is the bottle BPA free jes?

5:38 pm

medusa

i only buy it every now and then when i need a fresh bedroom bottle for night drinks! once it is empty i just refill it from the tap anyway!

5:38 pm

jesdraggon

No idea, peri.

5:39 pm

jesdraggon

bruce says NYC is supposed to have the best tap water, according to someone who should know.

5:39 pm

periwinkle

it isn't a bottle that originally came with water in it is what I meant jes. those bottles are not meant to be refilled. at least that is my understanding

5:39 pm

MollyL

It makes me laugh and laugh that that Bling H2O stuff is 50 dollars a bottle. IT'S WATER.

5:39 pm

jesdraggon

it is a bottle that originally came with water in it, yes.

5:39 pm

periwinkle

when did bottled water become so popular and who was the genius who decided that we needed it

5:39 pm

periwinkle

I don't think you should be drinking out of it jess

5:40 pm

periwinkle

but that is my opinion

5:40 pm

MollyL

Oh you know how it goes. The Eco people did a lot of tests on drinking water and convinced everyone that it had oogey stuff in it.

5:41 pm

jesdraggon

i have a hard time worrying that adding new water to a water bottle will leach anything out of the plastic that the water initially in it didn't.

5:41 pm

periwinkle

en6/21 pls

5:42 pm

5:42 pm

what makes me laugh is that they say it has gone through this mountainside for x amount of years then gives you a bbe date! lmao

5:42 pm

jessmom

there was a report that came out several years ago about bacteria building up in reused bottles

5:42 pm

MollyL

You do put it through the dishwasher though, don't you Jes?

5:42 pm

medusa

and i think they say not to reuse the bottles just to make you buy more!

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

Evening babblers...and morning and night to all of you on different time zones.

5:43 pm

medusa

hey red

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

it is true about the bacteria in water bottles, but...if you wash em, no problems.

5:43 pm

MollyL

Ooo, Red. What is your Infectious Nursie opinion on reusing plastic water bottles?

5:44 pm

MollyL

Too late. Thanks Red.

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

I do it often...

5:44 pm

periwinkle

I need to put my stainless steel bottles in the washing machine

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

LOL I am a runner too....

5:45 pm

jesdraggon

I don't run it through the dishwasher. Periodically rinse it with salt water.

5:45 pm

medusa

well i always reuse the water bottles and i have never been il yet

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

but I am stuck in the grid all of a sudden. 93 left. they are hiding...

5:45 pm

MollyL

I had a long discussion with my neighbor about washing water containers. She was of the opinion that it's "just water" and you don't have to. I asked her if she had ever heard of algae.

5:45 pm

medusa

i need 1

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

Both wiki and snopes discuss it.

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

I admit though I dont reuse them for long...as I usually plant them for a run and then throw them into recycling after i use it the second time.

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

now I need 92.

5:47 pm

MollyL

I'd reuse one once or twice, but not for an extended period of time.

5:49 pm

hello anyone... I am wandering in, taking a short break before "doing" much more today.

7:20 pm

doseffing

... evening stidmama

7:20 pm

stidmama

hey tor!

7:20 pm

doseffing

... are you just back from school?

7:21 pm

stidmama

I have been home for about 40 minutes, picked up Grant from town after I was down teaching. It was a really great day, just tiring.

7:21 pm

stidmama

"mannel" the newest fiber creation: flannel for real men.

7:22 pm

doseffing

... know the feeling ... had a good afternoon myself ... two senior year calculus classes for a teacher who has really worked them

7:22 pm

doseffing

... means I got to do some teaching ... rather than babysitting

7:22 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo! what fun, doseffing, and sorry I called you tor... LOL saw red and assumed (my eyes are tired)

7:23 pm

doseffing

... been called worse ... no problems

7:23 pm

stidmama

I was teaching math this afternoon, too -- 5th graders. Putatively review, but as I wandered around the room those kids really need a lot of hand-holding still. Just reading a table with more than two rows was confusing

7:24 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

7:24 pm

stidmama

THERE's TOR! rofl

7:24 pm

doseffing

... I'm sure ... up here the high school ends up splitting into two streams ... ... the so called "applied" math kids end up doing grade 5 to grade 7 stuff in their senior year of high school and often don't do it well

7:25 pm

torgone

Just back from picking up grandbaby ..

7:26 pm

stidmama

there is something similar here, only not quite so systematic. It's called "basic skills" and they keep kids all together up through about 6th or 7th grade and then pull the ones who needed remediation years before out to do more life skills type math

7:26 pm

stidmama

grandbaby???? when did you get a grandchild, tor? *mind boggles*

7:28 pm

torgone

She's 14 months old stid ..

7:29 pm

stidmama

I wish that kids who need remediation got it as soon as they needed it, so they didn't fall behind in the first place. There are so many kids in the classes I sub in who aren't comfortable with basic multiplication, but who are being asked to multiply or divide fractions and decimals. Or do roots. Or... *shakes teacher head sadly* it's a recipe for learning to hate the content area.

7:30 pm

stidmama

wow tor ... I know I was in the middle of student teaching back then, but gee. My brain must be full of holes to lose information like that! Congrats! *admires grandbaby*

7:30 pm

doseffing

... so many things happen in elementary school

7:31 pm

doseffing

... if you get one teacher in your elementary career who is uncomfortable with numbers ... it can be the end of your math learning

7:32 pm

doseffing

... that's what happened with my younger daughter ... grade two was great at music, art, french ... but could barely count ... and scared my daughter out of ever figuring out how to learn math

7:33 pm

doseffing

... I've discovered that in the province of Manitoba they will let people into to degree programs in education to get elementary certifications ... who took never got past fifth grade math themselves

7:33 pm

stidmama

True. I was a bubble-head today, but the kids know me and we got through the math together (I taught this stuff last year when student teaching, too). They usually seem to be at least as competent when I am done teaching as when their regular teacher finishes. Personally I always grasped math best when it was in context -- science, or history or music. Some drills and such are good, but when that's the entire focus it takes the joy out of it. I learned algebra "for real" when I took physics in high school.

7:33 pm

doseffing

... and now they wonder why the level of math learning is falling

7:34 pm

stidmama

In Washington they require a certain amount of college-level math, but to be honest those courses can be pretty "basic" too.

7:34 pm

stidmama

I took through calculus in high school, studied stats and accounting in college (and then had a brain injury that scrambled the circuits), so I know I can relearn things, I just don't remember it all automatically.

7:35 pm

doseffing

... I know it can be hard ... the high school calculus course in Ontario is called "Calculus and Vectors"

7:35 pm

doseffing

... I know it can be hard ... the high school calculus course in Ontario is called "Calculus and Vectors"

7:36 pm

doseffing

... I'm terrified I'm going to get a question about the Vectors portion because my knowledge and practice is long past the "this bread is stale so throw it out date" that I know I couldn't answer anything in class

7:37 pm

stidmama

sometimes when the math is above where my current using level is, I ask the kids to tell me what they understand. Usually, by the time they finish explaining, I have filled in the gaps for myself. Sometimes, when I am lucky, they fill in the gaps as they explain what they are thinking!

7:38 pm

stidmama

often there is another student in the class who has a firm enough grasp of the task that together we can figure it all out.

7:38 pm

doseffing

... that's exactly what you should do

7:39 pm

stidmama

*sparkles at praise*

7:40 pm

doseffing

... the only way to learn math ... is to do math ... ... so they've got to be encouraged to do it when they don't know ... ... if they see that's what you're doing ... they might get the idea that it's okay to get it wrong at first ... ... it's a phrase we don't seem to be able to use anymore ... "figure it out"

7:41 pm

stidmama

today, it was obvious (in almost all cases) that the kids were either not reading the entire math question, OR they were looking at the table incorrectly. And of course, the perennial favorite: remember to make the final conversion (ounces to pounds, or yards to feet). Of course, we are still in the dark ages and have to do the complicated "standard measurements" stuff. Next chapter they will look at the more logical metric system.

7:41 pm

doseffing

... "figuring it out" means you're going to be mistaken at first but that with time you'll get it right

7:42 pm

doseffing

... metric must be hard down there ... ... they never get to see it in their non-school lives

7:42 pm

stidmama

I often model "rethinking" for them as we work through the math! And sometimes I like to point out that one of the students came up with a different (or better) way to solve something. They love knowing that there can be more than one way to think of the work, and that their peers are demonstrating good thinking.

7:42 pm

doseffing

... if only more elementary teachers could or would do that

7:43 pm

stidmama

It is hard in some ways, but I think our grandparents never had metric at all and they did just fine. But in science they tend to use metric, so it all works out I think.

7:43 pm

jesdraggon

NO! there is only one right way and everyone must do it THAT WAY. And show your work. :D

7:43 pm

doseffing

... I had two good classes today ... and in both I was asked to show them how to solve a particularly difficult problem ....

7:44 pm

doseffing

... I was able to do it by a truly brute force method but I was begging them to look at it again ... there had to be a better way or more elegant way ...

7:44 pm

stidmama

I think it's easier to be honest when we don't know, or when we mis-speak, or when we just goofed up. NOT being perfect is less stressful than trying to be so.

7:44 pm

doseffing

... came up with two while waiting for the bus ... just don't have a way of getting it to them

7:44 pm

stidmama

oh, those are challenging lessons to teach -- did the kids come up with anything interesting?

7:45 pm

stidmama

isn't that always the case! I usually think of several things on my (nearly hour-long) drives home.

7:45 pm

doseffing

... didn't have time ... and had a bunch of work to do ... but one of these days someone will get there

7:46 pm

stidmama

I think, just by mentioning that there might be an easier/more elegant solution that you open the doors to creative thinking.

7:46 pm

doseffing

... that's my hope ... fingers are crossed

7:47 pm

hey sue! how are all the saggy-baggies? you apparently timed that reunion just right -- did they put a gazillion candles on a cake for you? are you home safe? (inquiring minds want to know)

8:10 pm

uusue2

hi stid! I didn't really mention my birthday although my son and I did have a very nice dinner out. My classmates are fine, and we are home safe, and the dog is fine (she stayed at the vet's), and all is well.

I am down to 51 and thinking of stopping for the evening.

8:12 pm

I have 68 left, probably won't finish - hip is hurting and I think I will go lie down in a bit.
