1:33 am

grannyrose

jilli, there is a list of enable. i created a short-cut on desktop.

1:33 am

Jillyjill

LOL...well, heading to bed...niters all ...see you tomorrow!

1:33 am

grannyrose

night, jilly. sleep well, hun.

1:34 am

jillibus

I'll look into it some day, granny -- too sleepy now

1:34 am

Jillyjill

I do think I will....*poof*

1:34 am

jillibus

gnight sis

1:35 am

jillibus

this is a very babbletty grid

1:36 am

grannyrose

sure is jilli

1:36 am

jillibus

I think I'll have a nightcap to celebrate midnight

1:40 am

grannyrose

enjoy, jilli. what are you having?

1:43 am

jillibus

just got a small vodka-rox, granny

1:44 am

jillibus

so, nurse grannyrose, how long does muscle pain last? This is 8 days now.

1:45 am

grannyrose

okay, jilli....have you had x-rays done? this is a tad too long.

1:49 am

jillibus

yes, x-rays were done -- nothing broken or cracked. The pain travels. Right now it's sort of mostly in the armpit area. Weird.

1:50 am

grannyrose

has it changed in any way? is it the same? or getting worse?

1:52 am

jillibus

It's changed in that it hurts in different places. It used to be worst in the right shoulderblade area, and around the right side. That's not so bad now. None of it is as bad as it was originally, but I still can't turn over in bed or anything.

1:53 am

grannyrose

jilli, do you have access to a cream containing arnica. it is the best for soft tissue injury.

1:53 am

jillibus

Lifting things stabs in both armpit areas, around the front. I don't know the muscle names offhand -- could look it up but too lazy just now.

1:55 am

jillibus

I don't at present, granny, and no car to get any. I just haven't felt up to getting a taxi to take me to the car rental place yet. I just haven't felt up to anything, frankly, except sitting here with the computer, lol!

1:55 am

grannyrose

that makes sense...you have torn the muscles used to hang onto something strongly, like a steering wheel...and then the muscles tear because you have been tossed around.

1:56 am

jillibus

Actually, lifting that drink still hurts a bit in the right shoulderblade area.

1:56 am

grannyrose

okay, jilli. which analgesia are you using?

1:56 am

jillibus

So how long do torn muscles take to heal?

1:57 am

grannyrose

about the same as broken bones...6 weeks

1:57 am

saanichcat

Jilli if you need any help re anything at all I can come over.

1:58 am

grannyrose

saani, can you find a cream with arnica in it? the best for jilli right now.

1:59 am

jillibus

I tossed caution to the winds at first and used liquid Advil 400 mg every 4 hours -- not supposed to because am on ramipril and amiloride. Oh -- at the very first the ER doc gave me Percocet because I wasn't supposed to take Advil (ibuprofen) but it almost knocked me cold and made me throw up.

1:59 am

saanichcat

Salt Spring, where jilli lives is the home of herbs. The local store should carry it, if not jilli let me know and I will get it for you. Even the druggist might have it?

2:00 am

saanichcat

good suggestion granny.

2:00 am

saanichcat

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

2:01 am

jillibus

Now I've switched to acetominophen extra strength, but have taken one "Tylenol 3" (acetominophen/caffeine/codeine) and will have another at bedtime. Pharmacist I phoned agreed. Also suggested Robaxacet muscle relaxant.

2:02 am

grannyrose

jilli, please contact saani. you need arnica!!!

2:03 am

grannyrose

and jilli, you can take advil and acetominophen at the same time. it is called multi-modal analgesia. it works well.

2:03 am

jillibus

Hi saan -- nice of you to offer, but I have friends close by who can get things, and I expect to be better enough in a day or two to do that taxi-to-rent-a-car thing, or even just taxi to drugstore. Insurance will pay for taxis, they say -- thank goodness! $50 plus tip to go to town and back!

2:04 am

jillibus

I can get arnica at the drugstore, but it's closed tomorrow (New Year's Day) -- I checked.

2:04 am

jillibus

granny, advil is a no-no for me because of BP meds.

2:05 am

saanichcat

Take a friend with you to do these things, it's way more fun and less of a dreary chore. I'm going to come and vidit early this year anyway; armed with Oyster Bay!

2:05 am

jillibus

Anyway, thanks for the 6 weeks prognosis -- good to know what to expect.

2:06 am

grannyrose

jilli, i use the combination of those medications. i have high bp also. it hasn't stopped me. twice a day won't effect your bp too badly.

2:06 am

saanichcat

goodnight all!

2:07 am

grannyrose

pain causes more problems, with the associated high bp, than the problems of the advil.

2:07 am

scouser

Happy New Year to all Babblers. Jillibus: Sorry to see that you got ripped muscles - best medicine is patience whilst they knit again. I have been getting RSI's from Jigidi !

2:07 am

grannyrose

night saani. please keep in touch with jilli. she is very precious to me.

2:08 am

jillibus

Saan, I hate to bother busy friends. My helpful and willing neighbours would have done things for me when they were shopping anyway, but they're all away in nice warm places for a while.

2:08 am

jillibus

Hi scouser!

2:09 am

scouser

Hi Jillibus

2:09 am

grannyrose

hey scouser, and a Happy New Year to you also.

2:09 am

scouser

And you GrannyRose-and-resident-medicine-lady!

2:10 am

jillibus

Granny -- xx -- you're sweet

2:10 am

grannyrose

lol, scouser...and jilli, so are you!!

2:11 am

scouser

I have got halfway through this grid and ground to a halt. Looks like a Babblet-store.

2:12 am

grannyrose

scouser, my primary interest is medication and it's effects on us. i actually achieved honours marks in pharmocopiea

2:12 am

jillibus

Maybe I'll be able to sleep better tonight -- been waking up every 2 hours or so, then going to jigidi for a bit. Scouser -- what are RSIs?

2:13 am

scouser

Brill Grannyrose. Jillibus - repetitive strain injuries ! In my youth I think they were referred to as fibrositis for posh.

2:14 am

jillibus

good point about pain and BP, granny. I get the shakes periodically because of it.

2:14 am

grannyrose

jilli, have you tried cuddling a pillow at night?

2:16 am

scouser

Beat me to it GrannyRose - I am a great believer in the "Dutch-wife" or its equivalent variable support for night comfort.

2:16 am

jillibus

Funny you should ask that, granny -- yes, I have! It's just that staying always on my left side gets *that* side sore eventually, and moving hurts.

2:17 am

grannyrose

the other thing i did, was make sure that when i went to sleep, my shoulder was supported with the opposite hand.

2:17 am

jillibus

Just something I have to put up with for a while, I guess.

2:17 am

scouser

What about making a nest in an armchair and putting feet up and sleeping like that rather than trying to lie down?

2:18 am

grannyrose

understand, jilli....typical of torn muscles.

2:18 am

grannyrose

good option, scouser

2:18 am

jillibus

Leaning back in a chair is painful, scouser. The only thing that isn't is lying on my left side.

2:19 am

jillibus

Or standing up or sitting upright.

2:20 am

jillibus

Bummer, eh?

2:20 am

jillibus

Thanks for all the suggestions, though -- I'll follow up, definitely.

2:21 am

scouser

Poor Jillibus you have been 'in the wars.'

2:22 am

jillibus

Now -- 12 words to go, heading for morewords! What a miserable grid!

2:22 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, that reminds me, jilli. i made a pillowcase into a sling, and hooked it over the bedpost. it kept my arm at a right-angle...

2:23 am

jillibus

Well, it was all my own stupid fault for not pulling over to adjust the GPS.

2:23 am

grannyrose

only 12 to go...nice job, jilli.

2:24 am

jillibus

I have a small pillow I use to support the right arm -- that helps.

2:24 am

jillibus

Already been using morewords and Lickety and other clues, lol!

2:25 am

12:52 pm

rururocks

*crosses Doren off party-girl list*

12:52 pm

Dorens

but, thanks for the grilled salmon. That I would love right now

12:54 pm

Dorens

I am in the midst of reading an excellent book by the Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, so i found the ra4/8 right away. and i want back on the party girl list, ruru. (not that i really am a party girl, but don't want to lose any status in your eyes)

12:54 pm

rbud

<---- also not a party girl, guess I miss the list, too, ru

12:54 pm

rururocks

*crosses Rbud off the party girl list too*

12:54 pm

MollyL

<--Can still party her ass off with the best of them
: D

12:55 pm

rururocks

HA

12:56 pm

rbud

go Molly go, you can do it for the rest of us, lol

12:56 pm

BzznBea

I can party with the best of them as long as it is before 10pm...

12:57 pm

rururocks

adds bzz to Time restricted party girl list

12:58 pm

rbud

haven't really been drunk since about 1994, and that was the first time in years, lol - hubby's friends called all over telling people to come and be amazed

12:58 pm

BzznBea

I managed to stay up last night to almost 11. Hubs woke me up to wish me a Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary.

12:59 pm

MollyL

We'll put Bea on first shift

12:59 pm

rbud

just put me on cleanup, that's how our parties usually go. :P

12:59 pm

MollyL

You got married on New Years Day? Cool. Happy Anniversary.

1:00 pm

BzznBea

Thanks. New Years Day 2000. 010100

1:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need a trip to NJ..no selection here alcohol wise.

1:03 pm

BzznBea

Are you in a dry county, TO?

1:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, i am in PA.

1:04 pm

rururocks

PA is state controlled bzz

1:04 pm

MollyL

MD is state controlled too but we have a pretty vast selection.

1:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, is it? gee, i did not realize that.

1:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to go.

1:05 pm

MollyL

PA = Pennsylvania MD= Maryland for all those in other countries who don't know the abbreviations.

1:07 pm

Dorens

agee

1:07 pm

fuzzybunny

Happy New Year to all!

1:08 pm

Dorens

ok, pb for me./ slurping up all the wine

1:08 pm

MollyL

Bea, does North Carolina still have that weird liquor law regarding brown bags for bottles on the table?

1:08 pm

fuzzybunny

Dorens, which book are you reading by Orhan Pamuk?

1:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

have some pa dutch light ginger cookies to go with it

1:08 pm

BzznBea

Not that I know of, Molly.

1:10 pm

MollyL

I'm dating myself. Apparently liquor by the drink was passed in 1999.

1:11 pm

BzznBea

I'm wondering about New Years Eve traditions. Seems like every city in this state has some sort of "drop". Raleigh drops a large brass acorn. Mount Olive drops a pickle. Morehead City drops a crab pot. Beaufort had a pirate drop and there is a small town some where in NC that drops a possum.

1:11 pm

Dorens

I bought a nice wine in Md in the grocery store a block from my son's house.. didn't feel like the old state stores from PA that I remember

1:11 pm

Dorens

Museum of Innocence, owl

1:12 pm

BzznBea

We can buy wine and beer in the grocery stores in NC.

1:12 pm

MollyL

Drops a possum...I love it. : D

1:13 pm

MollyL

And now for my Tony Romo joke. Q: Why is Tony Romo like a possum? A: Because he plays dead at home and gets killed on the road. Bah-dum-ching.

1:13 pm

BzznBea

Yes, PETA is all over them about it but they are a little back water town and could care less about PETA. The possum is in a cage and it is dropped gently.

1:13 pm

Dorens

it would probably be funnier if i had any idea who tony romo was

1:14 pm

MollyL

Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

1:14 pm

suz01

love the joke, Molly

1:14 pm

Dorens

oh, okay, then that makes some sense, thanks molly

1:15 pm

rururocks

calls PETR

1:15 pm

fuzzybunny

Thanks, Dorens. Have you read any of his other books?

1:16 pm

Dorens

no, fuzzy, but I'm thinking I'd like to read Istanbul sometime in the future

1:16 pm

Dorens

no, fuzzy, but I'm thinking I'd like to read Istanbul sometime in the future
what have you read of his?

1:17 pm

fuzzybunny

I haven't read any of his books, I just checked him out on Amazon when you said you were reading one and it was good. I really enjoy foreign authors.

1:18 pm

rururocks

do you have to read his books constantinople-y?

1:20 pm

MollyL

<---Makes a mental note to not tell football jokes in the chat log anymore.

1:20 pm

rururocks

ha

1:21 pm

Dorens

oh ruru!

1:21 pm

rururocks

what?

1:22 pm

suz01

well I liked the joke, Molly

1:22 pm

Dorens

molly, why so sensitive? just because I don't pay any attention to football and don't know the people- come on now! I am in a very small minority there
and oh ruru was lilek what always said to my punny father... Oh, Daaaaddy!!

1:22 pm

rururocks

I did too.. I can't stand romo or the cowboys

1:23 pm

Dorens

(in response to constantinople-y)

1:23 pm

rururocks

oh..I thought I did something terrible.

1:24 pm

suz01

I relayed it to my sons who are big redskins fans so they liked it too

1:24 pm

Dorens

I enjoy foreign authors too, fuzzy.. particularly Indian authors
ru, you never do anything terrible.. just terrible puns

1:24 pm

rururocks

I know..but my New Years resolution is to make them funnier

1:26 pm

uusue2

<--- likes ruru's puns

1:26 pm

stidgmere

Happy New Year to all. Just starting after getting a ham in the oven and a vegetable side dish resting in the fridge. Potatoes are just pupped in and we're going to fancy up the baked potatoes today just to start the New Year off to an embellished beginning.

1:26 pm

uusue2

and hi again all!

1:27 pm

Dorens

hi stidgmere and sue

1:27 pm

rururocks

going out for a walk with the doggie.. it's a gorgeous crisp day here.

1:27 pm

rururocks

bye for now

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i treated mslef to brunch but it was awful. i was very disappointed. brunch is a rare treat

1:28 pm

suz01

have a nice walk ruru

1:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

*ees gmere hopefully for an offer of ham*

1:29 pm

Dorens

gorgeous and crisp are far from our weather today.
sorry brunch was a disappointment owl. what did you have?

1:29 pm

uusue2

bye ruru!

1:30 pm

uusue2

that is too bad about your brunch, TO! real bummer to think you are treating yourself and then it's no good :-(

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i ordered a western sandwich. what i got was a lot of flat brown eggs with two pieces of ham and two pieces of pepper and a couple of onions.

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

he sue, hny

1:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i am sitting here eating chocolate mousse peeps and cookies

1:32 pm

Dorens

a friend brought red velvet cookies with crushed candy canes... unbelievably good. I managed to rescue one from my granddaughter, who has an unerring eye for the best (eats La Tur cheese, when other, more child-friendly cheeses are set out)

1:33 pm

uusue2

we haven't had much eating frenzy this season; we're going to an orange bowl party tonight (assuming we are both up to it) and I am researching gluten free sweet potato recipes that use things I already have (we are supposed to bring orange food). Or maybe I will just bring oranges.

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

they sound interesting. i am conflicted, did not bake enough and so must bake today or decide not to bake at all

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

uu: how about clementines? they are usually a big hit.

1:35 pm

uusue2

I can do that, TO, we just bought a lot of clementines day before yesterday

1:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

sweet potatoes are already gluten free?

1:37 pm

MollyL

Only orange food? That is a menu limiter.

1:37 pm

uusue2

they are indeed, TO. Frank can't digest wheat gluten, which is also in barley and rye, but potatoes of all sorts are fine.

1:37 pm

Dorens

what constitutes "did not bake enough"? You have some sort of quota??

1:38 pm

rbud

I just had a delectable piece of sweet potato pie nearly fresh from the oven (recipe in profile, just sub SP's for pumpkin - using up the ones I bought for Thanksgiving and didn't cook then.) Before lunch, muahahaha! had to try it.

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey how about cheetos? Cheez Whiz?

1:38 pm

uusue2

I suspect any sort of food would be fine, Molly, but orange is the theme and I thought sweet potatoes (which I happen to have a few of) would be nice.

1:39 pm

Dorens

i have clementines coming out of my ears. I have been putting them in my kids' christmas stockings for years. Since the days when I had to go into Manhattan to buy them!! And this year, not only did I give them to them, and have a bunch left over, but they brought them to put in my stocking. silly children!

1:39 pm

Dorens

creamsicles, sue?

1:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

in order to give out more cookies, i would hae to bake more. or decide some folks jsut don't get themt his year.

1:39 pm

rbud

have also baked extra filling in ramekins without crust many times, it's almost as wonderful that way. very custardy. no fancy ingredients.

1:40 pm

uusue2

that would work too, Doren, but I was trying to avoid shopping

1:40 pm

Dorens

tandoori chicken is kinda orange, and delicious

1:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

rbud, i have a recipe for pumpking custard served with sherry whipped cream. lighter than pie.

1:41 pm

uusue2

I'm looking at your recipe, rbud, and I have all those things except the crust, so maybe I will make a crustless sweet potato pie

1:41 pm

rbud

mmmm, sounds great, TO!

1:41 pm

Dorens

made pumpkin cheesecake this year and it was sooo good. put the leftover in ramekins and loved that as well. your recie does look good rbud

1:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

uu that sounds good.

1:42 pm

rbud

sue, I just steamed the peeled sweet potatoes and mashed them with my potato masher, and measured it same as pumpkin.

1:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, they work great when steamed. i even steam them bfore candying them. that is a very wuick cook

1:44 pm

uusue2

sounds very doable. I also looked up a recipe for roasted orange sweet potatoes that looks easy; I don't have any orange juice but I do have mango so that should work.

1:44 pm

uusue2

I'll let you all know what I wind up doing and how it works out :-)

1:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love home candied, with lots of orange juice and zest insterad of loads of sugar.

1:51 pm

rbud

steamed sweet potatoes (mashed with nothing else at all in them) was one of our daughter's faves when she was a baby, I mostly made all my own baby food for her.

1:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did not like them until well into adulthood. funny, one would think the opposite.

1:52 pm

rbud

she's now at least 6 ft tall, so I guess it worked okay, lol

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck, if only I had know o.O

1:54 pm

Dorens

sweet potatoes are a superfood, no question about it. I just don't uderstand why people put so much sugar in them, and gunk them up with marshmallows. Baked, they are perfect - don't even need butter, just some nicely seasoned salt ( i keep a salt/allspice mixture handy just for sweet potatoes)

1:55 pm

BabbleRabble

I like chunky peanut butter on sweet potatoes

1:55 pm

rbud

I like them with just a bit of butter and salt, and a fair amount of pepper. odd, but tasty, at least to me. everyone looks at me funny when I pepper them. don't like the marshmallow treatment either.

1:56 pm

Dorens

hm. that might be good, should try it sometime

1:56 pm

Dorens

the peanut butter, i mean

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

the marshmallows are yucky with them, to me.

1:57 pm

smores

sigh...trying to nap

1:57 pm

Dorens

really smores? i find chat rarely leads to napping

1:58 pm

smores

not working...

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like them with a bit of butter and salt. sometimes i will sprinkle a bit of cinnamon sugar

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

instead of butter

1:58 pm

smores

I know...alarm set for 4:30...gotta work tonight

2:00 pm

Dorens

find a really boring tv show that you can just listen to without looking at. then close your eyes. works for me like a charm

2:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

which, today, would be everything on

2:01 pm

smores

lol...

2:01 pm

Dorens

i haven't turned the set on, so i dunno. anyway, gotta go. enjoy the day everyone

2:02 pm

MimiCat

I do the opposite---put on a movie I'm dying to see...fall asleep right in the middle.

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye.

2:02 pm

smores

bye dorens :)

2:02 pm

uusue2

bye, doren!

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:02 pm

smores

Hi Mimi :)

2:03 pm

MimiCat

((smores))

2:03 pm

uusue2

Oh, I remember the mummers - we used to get the Philadelphia stations when I was a kid (in NJ) and used to watch them

2:03 pm

uusue2

hi mimi!

2:03 pm

MimiCat

(sue)

2:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think i would like to get this sucker done and move on for the day.

2:04 pm

MimiCat

I'm finding this one difficult...maybe I'm just not inspired....back pain today and it makes me cranky.

2:05 pm

uusue2

It seems to be a tricky one, mimi! Sorry about the back pain :-(

2:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

te5/12pls?

2:05 pm

uusue2

te + double vowel + consonant, babblet

2:06 pm

MimiCat

I'm upset that the entire animal kingdom is always recognized. The "bird" is here but wouldn't accept tegu for the lizard....tsk, tsk.

2:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

gee, did not even see that babblet! ty, and good be all

2:06 pm

MimiCat

I meant is NOT...

2:08 pm

uusue2

ok, time for a nap, bbl!

2:08 pm

MimiCat

OK---in pain and cranky so going to give up for now. Have a good day, all.

you americans are strange, I've never heard of adding sugar or marshmallows to sweet potatoes. They are perfect as they are

3:05 pm

negativeneil

Really? I haven't either so maybe we're not all as strange as you seem to think? ;) That sounds pretty bad.

3:06 pm

lilliann

yes, i think it is playa de carmen.one of the holtels is the rui yukatan, we are staying in the smallest of 5 all around eachother

3:26 pm

ChampFit

Uhhh, yeah. F-1 car race, going around our entire hotel late at night... which we didn't realize until we got there after a looong flight from L.A. and after no sleep for about 24 hours. :/ Feel my pain?

3:29 pm

lilliann

we can use the other hotels facilities and apparently they use our beach, but being in my chair i now just stay by the pool so hopefully that will be quieter

bichon

4:40 pm

bichon

Poodle do tend to be more high strung than Bichons

4:40 pm

rururocks

4:41 pm

People pay lots of money for a Labradoodle or a Goldendoodle. What if the shedding trait comes out.

4:41 pm

lilliann

Wow, I thought "All In The Family" was internationally known.

5:30 pm

movieman

nope, molly

5:32 pm

rbud

Archie's wife was a saint. :)

5:33 pm

MollyL

That's kind of funny because it was based on a British show "Till Death Do Us Part".

5:33 pm

rbud

putting up with his nonsense, lol

5:34 pm

rbud

and the two of them couldn't be more different from their characters in real life - both really intelligent nice folks.

5:35 pm

rbud

but that's good acting for ya. :)

5:35 pm

MollyL

That's true. The not so great actors just play themselves all the time (Julia Roberts).

5:41 pm

rbud

i agree. those kind just have to show up, walk through, collect money. getting by on their looks and such. Meryl Streep is another I like, she's drastically different in everything she does.

5:42 pm

rbud

I even liked Mama Mia, lol, I hate to admit. Sad that poor Pierce Brosnan sings so badly, hahaha!

I try to imagine that somewhere it is tomorrow morning.

6:10 pm

herinfernallady

Kaplan it is morning here

6:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And summer too. Do books that talk about frigid January weather seem weird to Aussie kids>

6:12 pm

herinfernallady

White Christmas is weirder

6:12 pm

Lizlin

Not sure about that but being a Brit with a winter birthday, it's really odd now having a summer birthday

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Much better.

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Christmas in July is something that seems weird here!

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Or is that just a QLD thing?

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

Nope we do it here but in July in the Snow

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But it isn't July. Even Christmas in LA seems weird to me. How do you have Christmas with palm trees?

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

Like up at Falls Creek or The Dandenongs.

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Here it's just wherever! Lots of restaurants advertise it! And Kaplan - it is in July! I think people must think it cooler then and be more inclined to trad dinner!

6:15 pm

herinfernallady

No palm trees in our yard just a great big old Fir tree

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There is Christmas in July? Really? What do you do in December- have the 4th of July?

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm so culturally astute.

6:16 pm

Lizlin

LOL!

6:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

6:17 pm

Decorations here are all solar powered!

6:17 pm

herinfernallady

We don't celebrate American Days like 4th July we have Australia Day which is the 26th Jan

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So Santa does the whole thing in Australia in July? And the Nutcracker and everything?

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know, I'm kidding.

6:17 pm

Lizlin

I get my Aussie citizenship this Australia Day!!!!!

6:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm not that dumb.

6:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But you can have fireworks anytime.

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

No you can't they are banned

6:18 pm

Lizlin

I miss Guy Fawkes Night!!!

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

On Babble you can have them. Banned fireworks? Like banned assault weapons?

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Or Nov 5th - in UK - fireworks night!

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Only public displays here in Aus

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm moving to Australia. Fireworks scare me.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

They're beautiful - from a distance!

6:20 pm

You think there are no fireworks in Australia?

6:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, public ones. OK. I always feel like I'm watching a city being bombed.

No. I'm just being stupid for the new year.

6:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Possibly a Cossack interfered somewhere. But east Europeans like potato pancakes too, so I don't think that's it.

6:35 pm

mkg

maybe it is the onions in them you hate kaplan? you can make them without onions you know.

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think I have taught myself to despise greasy food. But I never liked them even as a kid, and I liked other greasy things, till I found out what was in them.

6:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Kishkes and stuffed derma- eeech.

6:40 pm

mkg

imagine: you have ten children and a husband to feed. you can afford one chicken. you then must use all parts. so you boil it in soup and take it out and roast the chicken after much of it has gone into the soup. you then use the fat you took from it and the skin you took away and cut the skin, and put that wiyth the fat in a pan in the oven iwth the roasting chicken. you cook the fat to be liquid and the tiny pieces of skin become the gribinez. the fat is the schmaltz. so after the soup is eaten, and the chicken is eaten, you have boiled potatos with schmaltz and gribeniz. yummy. but you onlyt have a week to use the schmaltz or it goes bad. so hurry up! my mom rendered the schmaltz all the time and dad would smell it first and when it went bad he was really upset. and then: MAGIC, they invented margerine which was pareve and he could eat that on his potatos!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A big fat cow tongue. I thought it was some sliced meat on rye bread with cole slaw, euphemistically named tongue to distinguish it from corned beef or pastrami.

6:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, I know, mkg. It's how my father grew up.

6:42 pm

mkg

kaplan, there is nothing wrong iwth tongue. i mean we are eating muscles when we eat meat anyway. right? so what is the difference between a calf muscle and a tongue muscle? my parents at brains, and livers and spleens and all lkinds of organs.

I am subbing in for someone for two days -- Thurs and Fri, middle school. Haven't taught for him before, and the kids will be just getting back from vacation. This tends to be a someone rough school, rural, but new to my rotation -- I won't know the kids yet. How to help them transition back?

8:00 pm

stidmama

I was thinking that I should at least give the first period class a chance to talk about the vacation and re-connect with their classmates.

8:00 pm

Dorens

hah! that's a good one. middle school is tough enough already. do the kids know you at all from other classes?

8:01 pm

wvteach

what subject area? taught mainly elementary, but always liked to do goal setting for coming year

8:01 pm

stidmama

NO. I will have met a handful, once about two months ago.

8:01 pm

stidmama

Don't know the content area for sure (website is not up to date), but I think this is a social studies teacher.

8:02 pm

Dorens

I've learned that vacations in schools such as mine and the one i was in before (east orange) vacations were not what you'd expect... too many kids do nothing but tv and video games .. not much to talk about vacation.

8:02 pm

stidmama

Almost any other school I would already "have their number" and be able to read them pretty well.

8:02 pm

stidmama

And a lot of the kids are in "homes" that aren't necessarily safe or warm or have any food...

8:02 pm

Dorens

I've learned that vacations in schools such as mine and the one i was in before (east orange) vacations were not what you'd expect... too many kids do nothing but tv and video games .. not much to talk about vacation.
goal setting is good, but usually with the teacher they know, rather than a newbie

8:03 pm

stidmama

Yes, fairly high poverty for this school, and being rural not a whole lot to do this time of year because it's so wet.

8:04 pm

Dorens

the teachers in my school really want subs to follow their lesson plans most of all -- but then again some don't leave very much

8:04 pm

stidmama

Pretty sad, actually... yes a lot of the kids in the schools all over the area are big video game and movie watchers, not too much on the creative or active sides.

8:04 pm

Dorens

the teachers in my school really want subs to follow their lesson plans most of all -- but then again some don't leave very much

8:05 pm

stidmama

I almost always follow the plans the best I can -- but again haven't worked for the teacher and concerned that I want to be able to meet the kids' energy and emotional levels.

8:06 pm

stidmama

Once in a while the plans don't make sense or the kids really don't seem ready for what the teacher intended. But I can roll with that. ;-)

8:07 pm

wvteach

you're there for two days - can you do a "getting to know you" activity the first day and fit the lessons in to the two days after getting to know them

8:08 pm

stidmama

Ah... that sounds like a good idea -- yes, I can adapt and adjust in a two-day frame. Any ideas for getting to know you ideas?

8:12 pm

wvteach

interview each other and choose 2 or 3 things to report to group - make a bingo grid with features about student (a nd you) in each square, try to find five in a row, have student sign if it fits them (like has a brother, wears glasses, likes the color purple, read a book over vacation) - pull something out of a bag (strange objects) and tells how it relates to them, how they would use it

8:12 pm

bichon

for fireworks, te 5/12, pls

8:13 pm

stidmama

Yes! I can do those!

8:13 pm

stidmama

bichon: babblet: TE + double vowel + consonant

8:13 pm

wvteach

or just one of them

8:13 pm

MollyL

te + double vowel + consonant

8:13 pm

stidmama

I was thinking different classes, different games. I will probably repeat a few of the kid in the course of the day.

8:14 pm

bichon

ty Molly, that's it for me

8:14 pm

stidmama

YAY bichon!

8:14 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations bichon on your fireworks! Hooray for you!

8:15 pm

stidmama

hello Min! welcome (back) to the grid!

8:18 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Happy New Year to ya

8:21 pm

Minveryork

stidmama,you could do a treasure hunt with the getting to know activity with the students.For example give the kids a piece of paper of 10 - 20 things that they have to find (find somebody who is left handed or find someone who is double-jointed).Once they find that person, they right their name on the treasure hunt paper. You would also participate in that activity.I did this with my middle school students when I taught summer school last year.

8:23 pm

stidmama

Thanks Min -- I'll add that one in to the mix. :-)

8:24 pm

stidmama

Any of the other middle and high schools I sub in I could just step right in, no worries. But I am just a little concerned that the kids here have evidenced discomfort with unfamiliar adults in the past. Oh well, I guess after two days of me I won't be unfamiliar anymore! LOL

8:25 pm

Minveryork

How log are the periods in middle school where you teach?

8:26 pm

stidmama

This middle school should have 50-55 minutes.

8:26 pm

stidmama

They don't have block periods as far as I know.

8:27 pm

Minveryork

Middle school periods in my school are 47 minutes. It is the longest 47 minutes of my life when I have to cover a class.

8:28 pm

stidmama

those are awfully short time slots to get kids (of any age) oriented and working at any depth.

8:30 pm

Minveryork

If students could just sit down and take a seat like they are supposed to,there would be plenty of time to teach. My 1st graders get settled quicker than the 7th and 8th graders.

8:32 pm

stidmama

I get "grumpy" with kids when they waste their learning time...

8:33 pm

Minveryork

I think that so much time is wasted in middle school.I think the teachers should be switching classrooms not the kids. It would save so much time and there would be no chaos.

8:35 pm

stidmama

I had some kids several weeks ago, students I know really well, who were wasting their learning time. I let them know that they would have time to do work in class and if it didn't get done in time it would be homework. They didn't like that and told me their teacher (a friend of mine) didn't assign homework. I smiled and said that I was giving them time to work in class, and that the assignment was due first thing the next day... they quieted right down and worked well from that point on.

8:39 pm

stidmama

That's an idea, Min -- although the hyper-specialization of content areas might make this difficult. As well as teachers not being able to check phone or email quickly between classes. I wonder if there is anyone who has tried that model?

8:41 pm

Minveryork

I do not know. I am sure it is something that would have to be worked out with the union if there is a union.

8:44 pm

stidmama

Oh well... I need to go get more tea and rest my eyes. Hope you'll have a lovely day tomorrow, Min.

8:45 pm

stidmama

Down to 17. See you-all again another time. Thanks again for all the great advice! *poof*

8:45 pm

wvteach

makes it much harder on the teacher not having books, supplies in their own classroom - have to carry things with them - one school here used it when overcrowded and didn't have space

8:46 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

8:47 pm

Minveryork

That is true wvteach. I think any model of teaching has its advantages and disadvantages. For ESL, push-in & pull-out programs both have their advantages and disadvantages.

8:47 pm

Minveryork

I prefer pull-out, but administrators seem to prefer push-in

8:50 pm

wvteach

i was in special ed and there was always the issue of that as well

8:52 pm

Minveryork

How do you feel about an inclusion program?My district has it, but does it the wrong way, just like everything else they do.

8:54 pm

wvteach

i cop out and say that it strictly depends on the child - their level of abilities, types of disabilty, their personality. The severely handicapped do not need inclusion - they need to have their special needs met. Those who are very disruptive in the regular classroom are taking away from too many others and need more behavioral and emotional needs met.

8:56 pm

wvteach

With inclusion you also need to provide the support in the classroom with the special educators or aides accompanying the students and helping as needed (with all students)

8:58 pm

Minveryork

I do not know enough about it to have an opinion, but I know that some people like & some don't like it.There's only one spec. ed class in my building and it's a a combo of fourth, fifth and sixth grade. I see two spec. ed kids.

8:59 pm

Minveryork

Love participating in teacher-chat,but I have to go.Thanks for the conversation wvteach. Happy New Year&goodnight

8:59 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.
