That's the thing. If JMC had expressed an interest in something like that, it would be a thoughtful gift. Since she didn't, I think it was very insensitive.

11:18 am
jmcnrick

so would miss manners i suspect ru if miss manners were dead
11:18 am
sprite

jmc, you should only accept it if you really want to go. Since you don't, don't accept it. You can easily give it back without insulting her, I think... just tell her you appreciate the intension but the gift is absolutely not for you.

What I see is that they are reducing difficulty for missed elements (which should be an execution consideration) and not giving penalties for things like stepping out on dismounts.

So today, at break time, I let ALL the kids at work write on my car -- They all wrote messages to the daughters -- it is SO FUNNY! I am going to take a ton of photos, and then wash the car

hi all! sitting around in the nursing home while my friend is off at radiation therapy...
2:04 pm
uusue2

...and not having much luck finding actual words in this gr**
2:05 pm
Bugsaw

hi uusue. I just started this and it is not very easy right off the bat
2:05 pm
MollyL

Hi Sue. Nice of you to be there with him while he goes through his treatment. I'm sure it is comforting to him.
2:05 pm
uusue2

hi bugs! and hi molly!
2:06 pm
uusue2

yes, Frank goes with him to treatment and I stay behind in his room so he doesn't have to pack up all his stuff while he is gone (ugh)
2:07 pm
Bugsaw

ou mean people take stuff if you are not in your room there? How sad
2:07 pm
MollyL

You and Frank are good people. He is lucky to have you as friends.
2:07 pm
uusue2

well, I think they tell him to do that to avoid any liability - they also have Alzheimer's patients wandering around, and who knows what they can get into?
2:08 pm
uusue2

In the local county home they have a separate Alzheimer's wing, which makes more sense to me - we are trying to get him in there but there is a waiting list
2:10 pm
MollyL

In my experience with places that care for Alzheimer's patients, it's always better to have them in a separate place.
2:10 pm
Bugsaw

dementia is so devastating. I am sure they were people who wud never have taken anything that didn't belong to them when they were healthy. It is one of the things that cause them distress in the early stages
2:11 pm
uusue2

there's one lady who keeps coming in and insisting he's in her room, that there's a woman in bed with him, that someone's in the bathroom - if we call the staff they come get her, but it's distressing
2:12 pm
uusue2

ah well. I get to babble while he is gone :-)
2:12 pm
MollyL

Distressing is a good word to describe anything to do with dementia.
2:12 pm
Bugsaw

I think the people who work with dementia patients are saints
2:14 pm
uusue2

well, I have managed to get exactly half way here but it has been a struggle!
2:14 pm
MollyL

I do too Bugs. After my Dad passed, we got his nursing team some flowers to say thank you for all they had done for him.
2:15 pm
uusue2

and I agree too, bugs, I think that is one of the hardest things to deal with - and they can linger for years (as happened to my grandfather). Very sad.

So Molly are you saying you are against gay marriage? I am not gay and happily married for 38 years but just wanted to know.
4:38 pm
MollyL

No, not at all. I'm very much for anyone being able to marry anyone they want. I was just pointing out who did the legislating.
4:39 pm
Marc Freeman

Which legislation? The Defense of Marriage Act? Wasn't that done by a Republican against gay marriage?
4:39 pm
MollyL

It was signed into legislature by Bill Clinton.
4:40 pm
Marc Freeman

I don't understand why he would sign that bill? Is that bill for or against gay marriage? I am sorry I am so confused.
4:42 pm
sciencegeek

or 5?

It's a bill that only recognizes male/female marriage. I was just teasing Cos, it's no big deal.

5:44 pm
stidmama

noswaith dda, glantarell!
5:44 pm
stidmama

it's tricky. I am slowly making my way forward at 54 and considering listing at 50.
5:44 pm
Glantarell

noswaith dda Stidmama - sut wy ti?
5:45 pm
Glantarell

I'm listing now LOL
5:45 pm
stidmama

not bad, and you?
5:45 pm
stidmama

well, you have to get up MUCH sooner than I do! LOL
5:45 pm
Glantarell

iawn, diolch. Had a lovely evening woth my knitting/crochet/spinning group
5:46 pm
Glantarell

oh, I will aim to be at work tomorrow at ten - thank goodness for flexitime!
5:46 pm
stidmama

Do you know, in the last two weeks my body is telling me it only wants 7 hours of sleep? I think I may be getting healthier... So I am going to start staying up a little later and getting up as soon as I am awake instead of thinking I need to try to get back to sleep.
5:46 pm
stidmama

what fun! I haven't been part of a crafting group before. I am a closet crafter...
5:47 pm
Glantarell

7 hours is good. I get between 5 and 6 hours most nights these days - and then every now and then i seem to have a 'catch up' night where i slee 9 or 10 hours
5:48 pm
Glantarell

there are just half a dozen of us, and we meet in a bar once a fortnight, and craft and chatter for 2-3 hours. It's my entiore social life LOL
5:48 pm
stidmama

I usually seem to really need 9 hours of sleep; but it's summer, and we are finally getting sunlight so perhaps my internal clock is resetting. OR it could be the whole getting older thing and no longer being able to sleep.
5:49 pm
stidmama

sounds like a lovely evening to look forward to -- fortnight = two weeks, yes?
5:49 pm
stidmama

ah. down to 49. listing.
5:49 pm
Glantarell

yes, two weeks - don;t you have fortnights?
5:50 pm
stidmama

mostly Americans say bi-weekly, or 'every two weeks'
5:50 pm
Glantarell

we had an American guest member tonight, one of our regular member's mum
5:50 pm
stidmama

I don't think anyone in my acquaintance actually says fortnight, although all the Anthony Trollope novels I used to read used it.
5:50 pm
Glantarell

i'd think bi-weekly was twice a week LOL
5:52 pm
stidmama

that would make sense, too, Glantarell! hm. Did I mean bi monthly??? *sigh* I am fighting another migraine, and I think my language circuits are being affected as much as my eyes
5:52 pm
Glantarell

painkillers and a dark room, quickly - it's the only way...
5:54 pm
stidmama

too late, actually... it's a low-grade that isn't going to respond at this point to much of anything. It started this morning, abated for a while and came back while I was out of the house with Mother.
5:55 pm
Glantarell

ouch...
5:56 pm
stidmama

yep. I am going to be fuzzy. Just had to confirm that 1/3 of 30 is ten. *sigh* If I take exedrin now I will be up really late. But maybe I should anyway.
5:56 pm
stidmama

but I found the word I wanted...
5:57 pm
Glantarell

good... and you can always catch up on sleep
5:57 pm
Glantarell

I should be thinking about sleep but am wide awake
5:57 pm
stidmama

too much coffee with friends?
5:58 pm
Glantarell

i'lll pay for it tomorrow or the day after, but i think i'll stay up and try to finish ths one - midnight now LOL
5:58 pm
Glantarell

no coffee - just two galsses of what you call hard cider
5:59 pm
stidmama

sounds tasty, at least! LOL If I had that much I would be completely asleep!
5:59 pm
Glantarell

only half pint glasses, 2 hours apart...
5:59 pm
stidmama

oh, I was thinking bigger glasses!
6:00 pm
Glantarell

Lovely Welsh cider, called Taffy apple
6:00 pm
Glantarell

it's kind of a joke as a nickname for Welsh people is Taffs (after the river that runs through Cardiff, our capital city)
6:01 pm
stidmama

mmmmm. *wiping drool from keyboard*
6:03 pm
Glantarell

hmm, just tried anoxic and anoxi - all letters there but not in the right places LOL
6:03 pm
stidmama

oh! I didn't know there was a river with that name. cool!
6:04 pm
stidmama

I have tried several creative words, only a few of which worked.
6:04 pm
Glantarell

It's the river Taff - it runs for 50 miles from near Brecon (where I used to live) to Cardiff Bay
6:04 pm
stidmama

there is AN 6 which means without pee...
6:04 pm
Glantarell

with the an words, the 3rd letter is the last English vowel
6:05 pm
stidmama

I bet it's pretty -- do you have salmon that lay eggs in rivers like we do?
6:05 pm
stidmama

yep. that made them easier to find
6:06 pm
Glantarell

we do in mid Wales, also many trout. The Taff was one of the most polluted Welsh rivers 20 or so years ago but is really clean now, and the salmon and trout are just beginnng to be seen again now
6:06 pm
stidmama

I love when rivers recover. The whole world around them seems brighter.
6:07 pm
stidmama

We just took down some dams on the Olympic peninsula that were blocking the Elwha river, and already it's better.
6:07 pm
Glantarell

Fly fishing is a big deal in aprts of Wales, particularly along the Wye, Usk and Severn rivers - big tourist attraction
6:07 pm
stidmama

My dad used to fly fish. I remember going through his tackle box and examining all the flies
6:07 pm
Glantarell

Ours were bad form industrial pollution - mainly mines and metalworks
6:08 pm
stidmama

it's harder to recover from that, I think -- arsenic persists for such a long time
6:08 pm
Glantarell

My dad took me fly fishing every Saturday night after he finished work form when I was about 4 to when I was 8 - I only learned as an adult thta he did this because they were so poor thta if we didn;t bring fish back for Saturday dinner, then we didn;t eat dinner...
6:09 pm
Glantarell

for me, it was a special time of the week with my dad, where I learned about nature
6:09 pm
stidmama

oh my -- but what a great way to help your child learn a useful skill and spend time together.
6:10 pm
Glantarell

yes, i loved it - except for the night when we caught no trout and took eels home - my mum was not a happy woman LOL
6:10 pm
stidmama

my younger son likes gardening with me and I think he learns a lot, the elder never really did
6:11 pm
stidmama

I get squirmy just thinking about eels...
6:11 pm
Glantarell

so did he LOL
6:11 pm
Glantarell

*she
6:11 pm
Glantarell

but the killed it, chopped it and fried it - not sure we enjoyed it
6:11 pm
stidmama

your poor mother...
6:12 pm
Glantarell

but i love jellied eels these days, they are a rare speciality food here
6:12 pm
stidmama

well, when you are hungry you eat what comes home, right?
6:12 pm
periwinkle

jellied eels, not
6:12 pm
periwinkle

hi all
6:12 pm
stidmama

not sure I ever had eel except in sushi. I love unagi (which is in the gr4 but doesn't count)
6:12 pm
Glantarell

jellied eels are fab if they are doen well LOL
6:13 pm
periwinkle

unagi?
6:13 pm

i have never heard of unagi

hey Glant
6:14 pm
stidmama

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unagi I like it better than anago
6:15 pm
MollyL

Yes Peri, I agree. Jellied eels, not.
6:16 pm
stidmama

I think I would try jellied eels -- it looks like they would be safe for me to eat
6:16 pm
Glantarell

Hi Molly
6:17 pm
stidmama

and hello molly
6:17 pm
Glantarell

Jellied eeels are really just poached in their won juices - taste lovely and easy to get off the bones
6:17 pm
stidmama

Rs and Us finally complete, down to 32
6:18 pm
stidmama

with enough taffy apple I think I could probably make do....
6:18 pm
Glantarell

:-) and I would love to try unagi
6:19 pm
stidmama

I think you would like it. It is served with a sweet sauce, and it's very tender.
6:19 pm
Glantarell

Japanese restaurants are very uncommon here - we have very few japanese people living her
6:20 pm
Glantarell

or Koreans
6:20 pm
MollyL

Getting queasy...back later...
6:20 pm
stidmama

not surprising, you are quite on the other side of the world, while we are just on the other side of the ring of fire from each other. I really love Japanese and Korean food.
6:20 pm
Glantarell

Sorry Molly!
6:21 pm
stidmama

I have grown up with Asian food so that the flavors seem comfortable.
6:21 pm
Glantarell

Also, I guess some people arrived from those countries inot the US as a result of the wars
6:22 pm
Glantarell

We have plenty of Chinese restaurants and Tha food is more common too - but the British 'foreign' food of choice is Indian food...
6:23 pm
stidmama

yes, although the entire west coast had thriving chinese and japanese populations at various times in the 1800s -- until "exclusion acts" were passed (not unlike the current hateful things against Hispanics) and they were chased away. Or until the concentration camps in WWII
6:24 pm
Glantarell

what's ahppening wth th Hispanics?
6:25 pm
redturtlehead

I want more food. Hello!!!
6:25 pm
Glantarell

I got the impression on my last visit (2009) that Spanish was already the second language of the US and might even overtake English in terms of numebr f peope speaking it - especially in California
6:25 pm
stidmama

well, there are many people who feel that the only folks who do drugs, sell drugs or are otherwise engaged in crime are Hispanic, and they blame a porous border and lax enforcement of immigration law. They forget that Hispanics were, by and large, part of North America long before there were United States and Canada... and they resent the use of Spanish by anyone at any time.
6:25 pm
Glantarell

Hi Red - I am eating hand fried crisps (potato chips)
6:26 pm
funhs

thought the japanese and germans were allies. hard to believe that the germans put their allies into concentration camps.
6:26 pm
stidmama

My grandmother's aunt was the first Anglo baby born in one part of the Los Angeles basin, but certainly not the first baby with European ancestry.
6:26 pm
stidmama

hey red!
6:28 pm
Glantarell

My mother's family were all on their way to NY in the 1800s then realised that one family member would never get through Ellis Island (ill health) so they got ff the ship in Liverpool and laid terrazo floors there when the city was growing rapidly, and stayed..
6:29 pm
stidmama

the United States put its own citizens who had Japanese ancestry in concentration camps -- no matter how far removed in generations; from the Pacific Ocean to the Rockies they had to leave everything behind...
6:29 pm
stidmama

ah Glantarell -- amazing how people's lives and histories work, isn't it?
6:29 pm
stidmama

I guess it's a good thing her family stayed where one day your mother would be able to meet your father
6:30 pm
Glantarell

My mother's fmily were designated 'aliens' in the second world war - even though they were partly second generation immigrants - they didn;t get put into camps but restrictions were placed upon them
6:30 pm
stidmama

I fear that similar things are now being done to people with Hispanic ancestry and names.
6:30 pm
Glantarell

yes, good job my mum and dad met LOL
6:30 pm
stidmama

Oh -- were they German?
6:31 pm
Glantarell

6:31 pm

WAY cool! (molto bene, I mean)
6:31 pm

lots of things happened in that war that seemed necessary at the time.
6:31 pm
Glantarell

I apprecite that funhs
6:32 pm
Glantarell

I suppose a lot of things happen in every war that seemed to be the right things at the time
6:32 pm
Glantarell

even though we may feel differently wiht the benefit of hindsight
6:34 pm
funhs

hopefully hindsight helps us avoid making the same mistakes twice. there's not a lot of evidence that it actually happens that way but that's my theory.
6:34 pm
redturtlehead

Family history is so interesting...My Grandmother was adopted under dubious circumstances, so our history kind of ends there...
6:34 pm
stidmama

Yes, it was clearly necessary that schoolchildren be kept behind barbed wire, hundreds of miles from home. No, I don't believe it was considered necessary, I think it was a way to demonize innocent people and make it look as if the government was in charge. And I don't believe much was learned.
6:35 pm
Glantarell

My great great grandfather appears to have been the product of some 'droit de seigneur' and was taken to a monastery immediately after being born, so tht's one line of research which is at a standstill
6:35 pm
redturtlehead

What frightens me Stidmama is that many many kids and adults don't even know about the internment camps...
6:36 pm
Glantarell

Have you read 'The Striped Pyjamas'? Everybody should.
6:36 pm
funhs

weren't those school children with their parents?
6:36 pm
stidmama

oh really, Glantarell? Wow... unless you can find a male descendent and trace Y-chromosome that way
6:36 pm
redturtlehead

I have not yet. I admit, I am currently feeling overwhelmed with work...
6:37 pm
Glantarell

What's worse, Red, is htose who are denying they ever happened. I went to Belsen last year, appalling when you see the scale of deaths recorded on the memorails
6:37 pm
stidmama

there were also camps for German-Americans and Italian-Americans, I believe, but they were not as extensive.
6:38 pm
stidmama

oh red -- not still? *worried mama look*
6:38 pm
redturtlehead

I was never taught about them until I was in a private very liberal High School...

6:40 pm

Well, I admit, I knew the results of themens relay and watched a replay at 4 am and was still totally excited...
6:41 pm
stidmama

I was so very sad about the mens team coverage -- they showed only the worst moments, it seemed, and I know those young men did have good moments, too. But honestly -- the pommel horse was almost universally awful. They just seem to lack the upper body strength.
6:42 pm
