In the Roman Empire, going blonde wasn’t exactly a fashion statement. At the time, light-colored hair was associated with the barbarian women of Gaul and Germany who often ended up as slaves in brothels. Consequently, Roman law required all prostitutes to dye their hair blonde in order to distinguish themselves from “proper,” dark-maned ladies.

Interesting, Crossy. I now realize that the mini-series "Rome" that aired on HBO a few years ago was historically inaccurate. No blondes on the brothels.

Tucker needs to poop. Bunnies get what is called GI stasis--their gut slows down--and they can get quite ill from it. He is active and I fed him lots of parsley and cilantro this morning. The abscess is healing.

You have a bunny, right?
9:18 am

Yes, I do. Stormtrooper.
9:19 am
Scrabbler

Yes, an ally of the Jedi Knights. I remember the name now. Do you know about GI stasis? It is a critical illness in bunnies, so if Stormtrooper is ever lethargic, not eating, and not pooping--> know what to do.

Well, his nickname is "Storm-Pooper", so I will definitely know if he stops doing that.

Stress, illness, insufficient fiber in diet. Really, all bunnies need to eat is hay and grass. Some pellets are not healthy and some bunnies are allowed to be pellet-addicts. And they don't need sugary treats.

A batch of nitwit hunters imported them to the US - supposedly they would just be on game farms, but confining wild boars is impossible. So there are now several state and federal parks that have major boar control problems, and in parts of the southwest they actualy root their way through roads! So far they haven't made it this far north, but I'll bet they're working on it!

I think it's nice that they notice and alert you. You know the reason you used more water. But if you didn't know, then you could investigate and fix a problem before it gets bigger.

Oh no, you aren't being nosy! It was neither, really. One day I just went to the airport instead of going to school, and a flight to London was the first one leaving that I was able to get on. It was as simple as that!

I get scared in London, just crossing the street or taking the tube

wow! Andrew, that is amazing. Hat off to you. When I was young I often felt like doing that, but I never had the courage.

STIDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vacation was very nice and relaxed. Home isn't as clean as I would like but okayish. The kids are marvellous, son is boorish teenager and daughter is moody teenager, so all is normal. Husband will be operated upon tomorrow, small operation. I am good enough. LOL

not dazed. Lovely smile. Sweet and beautiful face. Marvellous eyes. (are you blushing already?)
12:42 pm
stidmama

sounds like I might "need" a fountain... I am tired, depressed, worried, anxious and procrastinating, sprite. I know why, I know what I "should" do, and I know what I AM doing. Not what I should. BUT I am also setting a timer so when I feel overwhelmed I take a break and then get back and dig in for a while.
12:42 pm
periwinkle

((((stiddie)))) and I agree with sprite about your picture stid.
12:43 pm

gah. People always talk about my eyes. Why can't they admire my gorgeous frown lines? *frowns for emphasis*

*gives stiddie a big hug* Perhaps you can take a day to just laze about, do nothing you don't want and allow yourself to not feel bad about it?
12:43 pm

well hun, that is what you get for having those beautiful eyes. They take away the attention from your pretty frown lines.

thanks sprite -- at this point every time I take even a short break I feel even more guilty. But tomorrow I am taking Grant to Powell's bookstore in Portland with a group of his friends, so that will be a break for me as well.
12:44 pm
stidmama

later peri
12:45 pm
sprite

you know already, dear one... but just to remind you: feeling guilty is good for nothing, it just eats away all your energy. Be mild to yourself. You really worked SO hard - now and again you need to allow for a bit of off-time.
12:46 pm
bichon

hope you're feeling better stid. Bookstores are always good

sprite

I can imagine. Always painful :(
12:48 pm
stidmama

yes. But I slept a little better last night, which was nice.
12:49 pm
sprite

sleep helps. And you know... allowing yourself to feel what you feel, take it seriously... and then the feeling will pass. That helps too.
12:54 pm
stidmama

Thanks sprite -- I am trying to "sit with" the feelings instead of fighting them, at least during the day. Anyway, there is that timer I set. Back later to work toward halfway. I hope you'll have a good evening -- the sun just came out here, so I will spend some time in the garden also. :-)

was chatting with DR-G other day on a unrelated topic and he told me that babble will remain as it is.it will not be tweaked,updated or revamped.he says it makes no money and he cannot justify putting any time into it and only keeps it running out of love (i suspect it costs him money)
4:16 pm
ch1212

Sounds like we need to show Dr. G the love!
4:18 pm
helenkeller

I love you Dr. God. You have my daily thanks for putting Babble in my life - it gives me something to live for :)
4:19 pm

or show him the money perhaps. He should charge the one-time fee annually. Interesting Cross.

Perhaps this site could benefit from having a place to donate. Lots of websites do that, and they seem to keep running okay.
4:21 pm
ch1212

Or a monthly pledge amount for those who can --- say, $2.00 or $5.00 every first Friday each month. Honor system, of course. Just a friendly reminder posted in the chat on the designated day each month.
4:22 pm
bichon

ty lynxxx
4:22 pm
cosdem

if i have to pay a monthly fee i'll have to stop. im on a very very very limited income and this is one of the few pleasuresi have for free
4:22 pm
bichon

sounds like a good idea. Is there a place to send it directly to Dr. G's pockets
4:23 pm
andrew in drag

I am with you there, Cos. I am self-employed so it would have to be 'as and when' donations for me.
4:24 pm
ch1212

I believe there is, bichon, because when I joined it was free, then when I went to 'pro' I paid a one time fee directly to Dr. G.

Cos, not suggesting anything mandatory, just a voluntary contribution for those who can, no questions asked, just a friendly reminder from time to time.
4:25 pm
cosdem

voluntary would be good and on months when i have extra i could donate a few dollars.
4:25 pm
mab

i am poor too, but if i could give a little i would love to. must be via pay pal for me however.
4:26 pm
bichon

Which site is it ch1212
4:26 pm

I play Jigidi, $18+ a year. Can be for free. If you pay you get a star (big deal!) and no adds.

4:30 pm
ch1212

Okay ... when new players sign up, it's always free. But after two weeks, if they want to keep seeing the stats helps, they have to go pro, with the one-time fee. So obviously Dr. G has a set-up for payment. We could ask him to put a 'donate' button toward the bottom of daily screen.

Swiftly, flow the years....
4:30 pm
MollyL

Board owners can opt out of ads (which I suspect Jamie has done). Unfortunately, it's the only way to make money as a board owner.

4:32 pm

with paypal
4:32 pm

as well
4:33 pm

theres already a paypal account .. just use the same one. no need to add another donate link

Okey dokey. Cos, since you are in contact, do you mind acting as our coordinator to ask Dr. G for the button?

Delightful, stidmama. My icon is a photo I took at the King Tut exhibit, with a 'naos'. The kids LOVED the area (of course!) and we loved giving them lots of hugs.

So pleased you were able to visit and got to see the exhibit! I haven't been to this one, saw it when it opened in L.A., and hope to get to this one before it leaves -- something nice about beginning and ending something like this.
4:36 pm

Yeah but he could add a donation button, if he wants to. I kind of suspect he doesn't though. But the seed has been planted.

4:38 pm

i wonder how much it costs to run this site per year...
4:38 pm
mab

it's almost rosh ha shanah
4:39 pm
MollyL

Depends on what he pays for domain registration and his site registration.
4:39 pm
stidmama

me too. Could sign up with a different name, but that's silly.
4:39 pm
mab

it's a rosh ha shanah miracle!
4:39 pm
cosdem

we pay 13.00 per year for my group, plus 300.00 for server but i suspect he has his own server
4:40 pm
cosdem

a lot of webgeeks have their own servers.
4:40 pm
MollyL

If he has his own server, he's only paying a nominal fee to keep the domain name alive.
4:40 pm
cosdem

right.
4:40 pm
MollyL

Which means he's not losing money to keep this site up.
4:41 pm
cosdem

hm true! didnt think of it that way
4:41 pm
cosdem

crossy said jame mentioned losing money right?
4:41 pm
ch1212

Well, back to the idea of asking Dr. G to post a button, then encouraging those of us who can, to voluntarily kick in a few dollars from time to time.

Crossy? Are you still here?
4:41 pm
mab

he still must make it work, etc.
4:41 pm
stidmama

I think he uses a service, just as tom and I do, it's a lot of electricity to keep servers running -- both just to run them, and then more to keep them cool.
4:41 pm
MollyL

And I think a lot of people would have trouble paying a yearly fee.
4:42 pm
lynxxx

I am sure it will be worth his time to add a donate button - we should all ask him individually. I don't believe his has his own server either
4:42 pm
ch1212

(waves bacon around, trying to lure Crossy)
4:42 pm
MollyL

Even if he pays for server space, it would only be roughly three to three hundred fifty a year to keep the place up and running. Don't know how that balances out with membership intake.
4:43 pm
mab

good idea, lynxxx. will msg him.
4:43 pm
cosdem

wasnt there a problem last year with donations and the money not being used?
4:43 pm
MollyL

That was the whole Mr. P fiasco and it was done through a third party.
4:43 pm
cosdem

ah okay.
4:43 pm
ch1212

I believe that was a different issue with a babble player, Cos.
4:44 pm
lynxxx

There was Cos - but that was on a seperate site - we are talking about voluntary donations direct to DrG here so should be OK

4:45 pm
ch1212

Okay, may I propose the following:
1. I'll email Dr. G and ask for a donate button linked to both Paypal and the usual, to be at the bottom of our screen.
2. If he agrees, then those of us who can and wish to, may donate however much whenever, although I will try and remember to post a gentle reminder once a month.

Okay?
4:46 pm
mab

sounds perfect.
4:46 pm

sunds ok.. as long as people understand it isnt mandatory. we dont want toc hase people away

4:48 pm

Terrific, mollyl! The more requests he receives, the more likely he'll be to add the button. I agree with the voluntary idea, and will ask Dr. G to add a disclaimer that it is at our request he is adding the button, and only for those who wish to, and can afford to. I will do that now.

That was his quirk
8:01 pm
MollyL

But to lurk is a perk.
8:01 pm

As long as the boss doesn't know about it.
8:04 pm
torgone

The boss is a jerk
8:06 pm

Not when he lets you lurk at work.
8:09 pm
torgone

Well, I guess that's okay then ..
8:10 pm

Any more clues before I go?

Jillyjill

Hello all, back to finish...56 to go
8:12 pm
MollyL

Oh, I thought you and Mr. Jilly would be "busy" for the rest of the night. : P
8:13 pm
Jillyjill

Molly....I'm 54...these things have to be planned...LOL...
8:14 pm
MollyL

Oh I see. You didn't pencil him in for tonight. : D
8:15 pm
Jillyjill

Well, wasn't sure if he'd make it today or tomorrow, he and his sister have been clearing out my mother in law's place
8:17 pm
MollyL

Sorry to hear that. It's not happy work.
8:20 pm
Jillyjill

No, and she really should be in assisted living...expect her to fail within 6 months. Damn doctor didn't think she needed to be in assisted living...grrr
8:21 pm
Jillyjill

Sorry to rant...
8:22 pm
periwinkle

Jilly, have you thought about getting help at home for your mother in law?
8:22 pm
MollyL

Rant away. I have been down the road of doctors who will not make the right call on the elderly.
8:27 pm
Jillyjill

My sister in law has POA, they all felt she would send them away....
8:27 pm
periwinkle

you coud try, she might like someone.most elderly want to stay in their own home
8:28 pm
periwinkle

there is also adult day care, don't know if they have that where she is
8:29 pm
Jillyjill

That had been my suggestion but as an outlaw....well, no one listened. Plus some of them didn't see the deficits that I did...have 15 years in Home Health...
8:29 pm
periwinkle

you can tell me to shut, but I was a social worker for many years
8:29 pm
periwinkle

ok then
8:29 pm
periwinkle

I did home care for a while too
8:29 pm
Jillyjill

Another decision was that with them taking her car, she needed to be somewhere that would trasport her too
8:30 pm
Jillyjill

now if she only remembers to go
8:30 pm
MollyL

My sister and I found adult day care so depressing that we took my Dad out.
8:30 pm
Jillyjill

I especially wished they would have given it at ry when we actually moved her two weeks ago...utterly undid her...
8:30 pm
periwinkle

some of them can be and assisted lving too, just have to find the right match
8:31 pm
Jillyjill

This is a little cottage, but is independant. Time will tell....
8:31 pm
MollyL

It all depends on how well monitored the independent situation is.
8:32 pm
Jillyjill

This has another building that is assisted living, so it won't be quite so hard to move her
8:32 pm
Jillyjill

It just broke my heart EVEN after knowing her confusion would increase...
8:33 pm
Jillyjill

Only monitoring is the housekeeper that comes weekly. Or, God forbid, she leaves and gets lost...
8:33 pm
Jillyjill

whoops...phone..brb
8:41 pm
Jillyjill

back..

9:25 pm
rururocks

yeah.. i'd have love to come.. I am such a doofus I didn't realize I needed a passport until Jilli Mentioned it
9:25 pm
uusue2

oh well - did you get one anyway?
9:25 pm
rururocks

no.. not yet
9:26 pm
uusue2

might as well, no?
9:26 pm
rururocks

yeah..sooner or later
9:26 pm
uusue2

oh, and how's your knee? One of my friends just had a replacement.
9:27 pm
rururocks

my knee sucks.. but I'm coping.
9:27 pm
rururocks

I have been conversing with Blue Shield.. god save me
9:27 pm
uusue2

ah, that's tough. Let me know if you're going to have it replaced; I have some recovery hints
9:28 pm
MollyL

You waited too long Ru. You know that now, you are going to come out of anesthesia in a geriatric unit at the Veterans' Hospital...in restraints.
9:28 pm
rururocks

restraints don't scare me .. I'm used to them
9:29 pm
MollyL

Oh and your head will be shaved too.
9:29 pm

hey all.
9:29 pm

*stern mama look at ruru knee*
9:29 pm

hi stid!!
9:29 pm
stidmama

hey sue! ((hugs)) are you home?
9:29 pm
uusue2

I am indeed! Got home on Saturday.
9:30 pm
stidmama

nice. It RAINED here last night!!!
9:30 pm
MollyL

*Watches the lead balloon float out the window*
9:30 pm
uusue2

it rained here yesterday too!!!
9:30 pm
uusue2

hey, when the lead balloons are floating, life is good :-)
9:31 pm
stidmama

VERY NICE!
9:31 pm
uusue2

and I visited my new office today and met the office staff
9:32 pm
stidmama

Are they nice?
9:32 pm
uusue2

will meet with the dean on Wednesday and the outgoing chair maybe tomorrow or Wednesday too
9:32 pm
uusue2

they are very nice, and seem quite efficient
9:32 pm
uusue2

there is a staff opening that i will have to fill but first will have to figure out what the person does
9:32 pm
uusue2

and there are also at least two faculty searches
9:33 pm
stidmama

I am glad they are nice. *shudder* I do not envy you faculty searching, though
9:33 pm
uusue2

well, I just have to supervise, there will be a faculty search committee
9:33 pm
uusue2

and I have done a lot of that, so can look wise and knowledgeable about procedures
9:34 pm
stidmama

I don't know -- supervising others... LOL I am sure your very wise professor looks will serve you well!
9:34 pm
uusue2

I really only have to supervise the office staff; faculty are impossible to supervies
9:35 pm
uusue2

*supervise
9:35 pm
uusue2

and there are only two (or three); when I was the graduate dean I had a staff of about 15
9:36 pm
stidmama

Btw, I am still absolutely intrigued by the whole speed of light piece of our conversation. I don't have the time right now to really push for deep understanding, but it's about the coolest, niftiest tidbit I have learned in a long time. That, and the idea that there are particles so tiny and fast that they go straight through "solid" materials - the fact that I know someone who has really worked with them is astonishing to me. You're like a super-hero scientist! *starts crocheting super-hero cape for sue*
9:36 pm
uusue2

*modestly hides face behind cape*
9:37 pm
uusue2

actually I really enjoy teaching, especially when it's informal - people are much readier to learn when there isn't a test :-)
9:38 pm
stidmama

*grin* not possible, the Čerenkov radiation glow gives you away!
9:38 pm
uusue2

ah, well, I'm not *that* fast :-)
9:39 pm
uusue2

anyway, I have 97 left, with nbt and nbs I am going to declare victory and go to bed
9:40 pm
stidmama

so, I am almost down to 100, and then will look at the materials in these sub folders (was going to do it earlier, then a friend I hadn't talked to in a year called...) and get them ready for the new year. I am totally psyched about teaching again, even if it's not my own classroom. :-)
9:40 pm
uusue2

but stid, you have my email, do write me when you have more questions
9:40 pm
stidmama

well done, sue! and sweet dreams.
9:40 pm
stidmama

thanks sue -- I will definitely pester you when I have questions.
9:40 pm
uusue2

take care, stid!
9:42 pm
stidmama

oooh. found the 9.
9:48 pm
stidmama

and down to 100. back later to finish if I can! *poof*
