BabbleRabble

Hello, Haz. Are the protesters near you?

4:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, BabbleRabble. I was away looking at e-mails.

4:37 am

Haz1558

The main body of protest is in Belfast, about 30 miles away. They're reckoning that about 250 people have been involved but they've succeeded in making an utter nuisance of themselves.

4:42 am

BabbleRabble

Glad you are safe.

4:43 am

Haz1558

I'm fine but it's infuriating that those images are broadcast throughout the world.

4:44 am

Haz1558

They emphatically do not have the support of the vast majority of people. What was supposed to be peaceful protest has been hijacked by recreational rioters and professional thugs.

4:47 am

Haz1558

What about you, BabbleRabble? Are you in reasonable form these days?

4:55 am

Haz1558

I'll head off to get some chores done. Enjoy the grid, bye all.

For those who missed it earlier, here's demotivator of the day. Picture: A campaign podium. Caption: Change. Text: Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

8:32 am

Judi

Amen to that, Mimi.

8:35 am

smores

<----adds some nice br4 to pb to go with champagne and ta5

8:36 am

MimiCat

I'm a bit sad today. Don't know if any of you remember the domestic abuse victim in my apt. bldg. a month ago. He was taken to jail and the apt. complex said he must be off the lease. Well, he came back last night. Will be waiting for more screams at midnight, I guess.

8:37 am

smores

:(

8:37 am

smores

Are they allowing him to stay?

8:38 am

smores

I feel so sorry for abuse victims. Hope they both get some counseling.

8:39 am

MimiCat

They don't know yet but I'm going to tell them when the office opens. Sometimes people need to be saved from themselves, I guess. I don't know if he has been back longer and I just didn't know it or now. My neighbor across the hall knocked on my door at 8 and told me she saw him just walk on up to the door and use a key.

8:39 am

stevedallas

morning all and how many today and thanks

8:40 am

smores

Morning Steve 118 :)

8:40 am

phaeton

118

8:40 am

stevedallas

thanks again

8:40 am

MimiCat

I've seen so much of this in counseling, smores, and more often than not nobody gets any help. I did counsel her that night after the police left but I'm never surprised when the guy comes back. We'll see what the office does. She'll probably lie and say he's not there. Their hands are kind of tied.

8:41 am

smores

:( very sad...

8:41 am

hurshy

my sister-in-law is getting help. it remains to be seen whether her husband can change, but if not, she will divorce him.

8:42 am

smores

good for her Hurshy

8:42 am

MimiCat

Yes, indeed. I went through that myself at age 25 but was lucky I was able to kick his butt to the curb.

8:43 am

hurshy

she has had to go through this AND breast cancer at the same time. i really feel for her.

8:43 am

smores

only been hit by a man once, he's 1st and last time

8:43 am

MimiCat

So glad to hear it, Hurshy. No one has to put up with that crap. Generally, if it happens once, it will happen again and again, escalating in severity each time. Is she still living with him?

8:43 am

hurshy

no, they are living separately while undergoing counseling.

8:43 am

MimiCat

Wow, she has a lot on her plate---and, therefore, so do you. Will hold a good thought for both situations.

8:44 am

hurshy

well, she's just finished her treatments so she's feeling happy right now.

8:44 am

smores

ohh Hurshy that is awful, going through either is more than enough. This is a time when she REALLY needs his love and support

8:45 am

smores

So glad she is getting help though. Is he also going to counseling?

8:45 am

MimiCat

When it happened to me I lived in an apt. complex and a former boyfriend lived there as well as a cop and a hockey player. One night they heard a woman screaming in the pool area and all three of them thought it was me and they all came out with baseball bats and the like ready to clobber the guy!

8:45 am

hurshy

yes it's joint counseling. it seems unlikely he will change, as he is a complete narcissist, but, one can always hope.

8:46 am

smores

LOL...great they had your back Mimi

8:47 am

smores

well, at least he is going, hopefully it will help, if not, glad she is ready to move on.

8:47 am

MimiCat

Like you, it was the first and last time for me. When I met my husband (now ex) I told him if he ever laid a hand on me in anger, they'd never find his body!

8:47 am

hurshy

*wondering where mimi hid the body*

8:47 am

MimiCat

That's really funny, too, because he's 6'3" and I'm all of 5'5".

8:48 am

Judi

Good for you, Mimi. Best to draw that line right up front. Amazing how many women cave to the abuse tho.

8:48 am

MimiCat

I'll never tell, hurshy!

8:48 am

smores

LOL...I reminded mine of our construction company friend....told him he would be buried under concrete at their next site :)

8:48 am

Judi

Bodies of ex-abusers make good compost.

8:48 am

MimiCat

There ya go, Judi!!

8:49 am

smores

bring out the wood chipper lol

8:49 am

MimiCat

Of course, I was all talk. I'm so nonviolent it isn't funny. But it is amazing how many of us have thought about that!

8:49 am

Judi

*can hear mimi's whip cracking*

8:50 am

smores

I am now, wasn't back then :)

8:51 am

MimiCat

When our marriage was nearing the end, I used to fall asleep nights thinking of ways to kill him and get away with it. The best one was stab him in the heart with a big icicle so there would be no weapon to be found and then...out into the desert in various locations, if you get my drift.

8:52 am

MimiCat

We are so much better at being divorced than we were at being married. We're quite close now. I'm glad that the 23 years wasn't completely dismissed. The kids are glad we're friendly.

8:52 am

smores

I had an ex-boyfriend steal my dog after we broke up. Couldn't proof anything, but I knew he did it. Ran into him at a bar shortly after and it took 2 bouncers and the bartender to get me off of him. Never got my dog back, but he had to get several stitches.

8:53 am

Judi

Dang, smores!

8:53 am

smores

LOL...love the icicle plot Mimi, glad you guys are friendly now.

8:53 am

MimiCat

Love it, smores! NEVER get between a woman and her dog!! I would have stalked him and grabbed the dog while he was gone.

8:54 am

MimiCat

He deserved a concussion!

8:54 am

smores

Really loved my dog Judi :)

8:54 am

Judi

Hell hath no fury... You go, girl.

8:54 am

hurshy

you are reminding me of the roald dahl short story "lamb to the slaughter"

8:55 am

smores

lol...he may have had one, broke a beer bottle over his head

8:55 am

smores

and lets just say he may not be able to reproduce...lol

8:56 am

MimiCat

Fortunately, that ex didn't want or try to hurt my cats or I surely would have done something evil. Reminds me of a movie where a bounty hunter type says "It's just my job to judge him...just to introduce him to God."

8:57 am

MimiCat

Whoa----right on, girlfriend!! Wow, we're all a bit feisty this morning!

8:57 am

MimiCat

I meant, "not" my job to judge him.

8:57 am

smores

I'm much calmer now though, can't imagine doing anything like that now, except of course in self-defense.

8:57 am

smores

love it Mimi...teehee

8:58 am

MimiCat

I use words as my weapons, smores, and I can really do damage...trust me.

8:59 am

hurshy

i haven't got any weapons.

8:59 am

smores

I bet :)

8:59 am

smores

none Hurshy :)

8:59 am

Judi

Oh yeah. If anyone hurt my animals (or my husband for that matter), I would turn into a tasmanian devil.

8:59 am

MimiCat

I like the line "I hate to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

8:59 am

hurshy

except maybe crying

9:00 am

smores

I am sooo opposite of my younger self, it's kinda funny

9:00 am

smores

LOL Mimi, I have used that line...love it :)

9:00 am

smores

aww hurshy

9:00 am

MimiCat

The mother instinct is very strong in most of us, I think, Judi---toward anyone we love.

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

hagd and happy babbling, all

9:01 am

hurshy

well, luckily have a nice husband, so don't need weapons in that regard.

9:01 am

MimiCat

Bye, TO!!

9:01 am

smores

Bye TO enjoy the day :)

9:01 am

smores

:) hurshy

9:02 am

MimiCat

I have no husband now or ever again....sooo happy about that. To paraphrase an old t-shirt saying "The more I see of men, the more I like my cats."

9:03 am

crosshair

reading back on the abusive relationships.my mrs was dating a woman beater before we started dating.she tried to break with him and she had her first date with him.next day she showed up at work with bruises on her arms so i drove her to her mums and paid her for the day anyways and went to "talk" with the boyfriend.the poor guy.while we were talking he tripped on the stairs and hit his head,and when i went to help he was hit in the stomach by the hand rail and if i did not just help him up and lo and behold he fell and got a black eye.i advised him that maybe he was having a bad day and to perhaps try being a single guy for a while and stay health.he agreed with me and i helped him back to his front door.the scars however can take time to heal.took over a year before i could hug my beloved without her flinching,and that was the real cost of it all

9:03 am

Judi

I feel very fortunate to have a sweeheart of a husband.

9:03 am

MimiCat

Hey, I'm 61....that ship has sailed and a bon voyage to it! Had a lot of wonderful men in my life (and a couple of stinkers), but done now.

9:04 am

hurshy

i love my cats ever so, but one of them has terminal kidney failure. if i didn't have my husband i don't know how i could handle this hard time.

9:05 am

MimiCat

Hi, crossy! Yep---emotional scars can take a long time to heal. I still have some stemming from when my mother left me at age 5 and never came back. Luckily, I ended up with fabulous parents and am so grateful.

9:05 am

Judi

Crossy, do you wear a cape or do you just stay in your mild manner disguise all the time?

9:06 am

Hey, for those of you who just joined us, here's the demotivator I posted earlier. Picture: A campaign podium. Caption: Change. Text: Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

9:07 am

Judi

Sorry to hear about you kitty, Hurshy. One of my fluffs succumbed to that a little over a year ago.

9:07 am

smores

I'm back, had to let the dog out.

9:07 am

We've all been there. So hard to lose the fuzz balls. Wish they could live forever.

9:09 am

fur babies indeed

9:09 am

MimiCat

I'm convinced that the spirit of my dog sent me the first of my 3 stray cats....No, I'm not all "woo woo" just spiritual.

9:10 am

Judi

"woo woo"

9:10 am

hurshy

well, at least i'm doing real well with the grid. only need 2 C's, 2 P's, 1 M, 1 T

9:10 am

smores

yes, losing a pet is very rough

9:11 am

hurshy

it's stupid they have bereavement days for family but not pets.

9:11 am

smores

9:13 am

hurshy

he's just a bit of love, wrapped up in fur.

9:13 am

MimiCat

It helps that I believe animals have spirits, too. I've worked with so many exotic animals and have seen how easily they go to God....it's like they know it's good on that side and aren't afraid.

9:14 am

9:17 am

Hi car :)

9:17 am

hurshy

i would give anything to have work i liked.

9:18 am

MimiCat

Ooooh...yes, too much time to think. I only visit my own brain....don't like to spend a lot of time there!

9:18 am

hurshy

well not ANYTHING, but, i would really like to have work i liked.

9:18 am

crosshair

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

9:18 am

Judi

I would like to get paid for not working.

9:18 am

9:18 am

Studies in space have shown that birds cannot survive in weightless environments since they require gravity in order to swallow food.

9:18 am

Sorry, popping in and out! Hello everyone!

9:21 am

MimiCat

I'm sure we all relate, hurshy. I developed a weird knack for becoming very good at occupations I hated....what's up with that?!! Smores is right, hurshy, WE appreciate you!

9:23 am

smores

yes, we can all get stuck with jobs that feel useless, but it certainly doesn't mean we are

9:23 am

MimiCat

To use my new word, being at a job you hate is "frippin'" awful.

9:23 am

Judi

That's called work ethic, Mimi. Even though you might not like that job, you still feel obligated to do it well. I'm the same way. I still reserve the right to whine about it.

9:23 am

BzznBea

And I found the co6 after the snake.

9:23 am

smores

np cool.girl, next time make it a word I don't have :)

9:23 am

thanks guys.

when my husband finishes school i'm thinking i'll go back myself and go into something new. i'm considering nursing, or ministry.

9:24 am

We're here for 'ya, babe!

9:24 am

car.eeyore

<---- wishes I could get paid to Babble....

9:25 am

Afraid I wouldn't even make minimum wage, car!

9:25 am

smores

that's sounds wonderful hurshy

9:25 am

smores

me neither Mimi, but it sounds good :)

9:26 am

MimiCat

Good for you, hurshy! I went back to school at age 60 and it was absolute heaven.

9:26 am

hurshy

maybe smores but sigh, who knows how long it will be. he says he's hoping to be ready to go on the job market next year (meaning another 1.5 years at this job for me) but i have my doubts about whether he will not take another year beyond that.

9:26 am

hurshy

what did you go back to study mimi?

9:26 am

Judi

In the meantime, girls, keep playing that lottery!

9:27 am

MimiCat

Psychology...want to go into counseling. My ex says that's the blind leading the blind. He may have a point but this is one reason he's my ex.

9:27 am

smores

Hey Hurshy, are there any animal shelters in your area? There are some here that always need volunteers.

9:28 am

hurshy

ah well if you can do a good job at it that is a very valuable thing. my counselor is fabulous.

9:28 am

smores

lol...Judi...bought my ticket :)

9:28 am

hurshy

smores, if i didn't have a job, i could do volunteer work, but as it is, i don't really have the time.

9:28 am

Judi

Me too, smores. I told my hubby if I win, we're moving to New Zealand.

9:29 am

smores

Yeah, I wish I had more time, but it is definately a huge spirit lifter :)

9:29 am

hurshy

though never did go the animal shelter route, thought it would be too hard. used to volunteer a bit at library, at crisis pregnancy center... tried domestic violence hotline but couldn't sleep after just one training session.

9:29 am

MimiCat

You could go to school online, hurshy. That's what I did...University of Phoenix. It's wonderful...they have an extensive library right there online and you could take a class or two while still working. It's so stimulating and you're in class with people from all over and the discussion are invigorating.

9:30 am

hurshy

but my sister, who recently divorced HER abusive husband, is starting to volunteer for a domestic violence hotline.

9:30 am

smores

ooo..that sound nice Mimi

9:30 am

Judi

The Food Bank is a good place to volunteer.

9:31 am

hurshy

oh i have been considering that mimi - i actually applied and was accepted to an online program but the money thing was stressing me out so i deferred at least until summer. good thing i did given what is happening now with marty.

9:31 am

smores

as much as my heart goes out to abuse victims, I don't think I could do it either hrshy.

9:31 am

MimiCat

Being in school again totally reinforced my self-esteem.

9:31 am

smores

Yes, Judi, food banks are awesome places to volunteer

9:32 am

MimiCat

I took out fed loans and got a good Pell grant...haven't paid one cent yet.....since you don't have to pay them back until you're out of school, I figure at my age I can just stay in school forever!

9:32 am

Judi

I don't think I'd do well volunteering at an animal shelter. I'd want to take them all home with me.

9:33 am

smores

well, I hate to leave good company, but I must go.

9:33 am

smores

lol...Mimi

9:33 am

car.eeyore

I must leave too.

Toodles, smores and car.ee.

9:33 am

hurshy

yeah i filled out the FAFSA and it looks like i have just enough money not to qualify for those loans, but not enough to make ME feel at ease about spending thousands of dollars...

9:35 am

MimiCat

So sorry, hurshy. Life can be a real b***h. There are Sallie Mae loans you could look into.

How are you?

12:53 pm

Nef

hi Jilly! How are you today?

12:53 pm

Jillyjill

Exhausted. Coudn't sleep last night and had to be up way early to work in Outpatient Surgery. 3.5 hours sleep... :(

12:54 pm

Nef

ooh. That's miserable

12:54 pm

scrambler

relax and enjoy your babbling!

12:54 pm

Jillyjill

And maybe take a nap...

12:54 pm

Nef

yep.

12:56 pm

Jillyjill

I was up babbling at midnight...

12:57 pm

Nef

"but i take it that you survived the early am surgery okay no falling asleep on the job or anything.." was not found in the dictionary (as you can see; I'm chatting in the wrong bos again)

12:57 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, not a chance. Don't work that often in OPO, so the computer stuff is a hassle. Patient care easy peasy.

12:58 pm

Nef

that's good. Are you done for the day now?

12:58 pm

Jillyjill

And only had to work 5 hours. LOL, figures, I was doing a good deed for a fellow nurse who had a bad drive home yesterday; Iet her sleep in.

12:59 pm

Nef

that was nice of you! :-)

12:59 pm

Nef

did she have an accident or something?

12:59 pm

Jillyjill

What I wouldn't have given to sleep in!

1:00 pm

Jillyjill

No accident, was driving back from Boise and roads a nightmare...took her forever.

1:00 pm

Nef

oh, thank goodness she made it then!

1:02 pm

Nef

I lost a little neice many years ago due to black ice along the rattlesnake river. My brother hit it and flipped the truck and lost my neice and his dog. We (here in MN) didn't know what black ice was back then....

1:02 pm

Jillyjill

If she'd of been in an accident, I would have worked her full shigt (despite not doing well with 12 hour shifts)

1:03 pm

Nef

so she slept in and then came in for the rest of the shift? Wow! The perks of a smaller hospital!

1:04 pm

Jillyjill

That is one nice thing...

1:07 pm

Jillyjill

And the perc of working with over 50 age women.

1:08 pm

Nef

you don't think younger nurses would do that? (Or would they take a day off sick instead?)

1:09 pm

Jillyjill

;)... the latter...or actually, just not return home that day.

1:09 pm

Nef

See; that's where I'd be; stuck somewhere between boise and home

1:10 pm

Nef

tonts

1:10 pm

Jillyjill

There's not too much between Boise and here. LOL

1:10 pm

Nef

sorry (on phone; not a word either)

1:11 pm

scrambler

ttl poof!

1:11 pm

Jillyjill

Ya, I know...I had to try it...

1:14 pm

Nef

okay. I thik it's crazy how elections aren't for another year or two and they're already asking for campaign financing!

1:14 pm

Jillyjill

They are in the whole for the last one....

1:15 pm

Nef

this one isn't. They wanted a committment of $10/ month for the next 2 years!

1:15 pm

Nef

Yeah; sure; I have money to just give away! (WHAT A LAUGH!!!)

1:16 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh!

1:17 pm

Nef

I like this politician; but not that much.

1:19 pm

Jillyjill

I don't like any of them that much....

1:20 pm

Nef

re the grid: I doubted that I'd get 25 words off that B; but I'm over half of that now. However; 5 words from that F??? I don't think that is possible

1:20 pm

Jillyjill

contra

1:20 pm

1:20 pm

1:23 pm

Jillyjill

1:23 pm

Nef

I only have 1 co 6/21, so can't help yet, Jilly (and don't have the co 5/15 yet

1:24 pm

Jillyjill

It's the famed snake of Rikitika Tavy mongoose

1:25 pm

Nef

oh. I have that as the co 5/16! Should have guessed that

1:25 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...keep in mind my sleep deprivation...

1:26 pm

Nef

that's why I should have guessed that one, Jilly! ;-)

1:26 pm

Jillyjill

the other do5 matches it ;

1:29 pm

Nef

I had that one too

1:29 pm

Good morning :)

6:08 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. Just starting and have a soup on the stove for dinner.

6:08 pm

Lizlin

Hi stidg - thought I was here alone :)

6:10 pm

stidgmere

Hi liz. Sometimes the chog is very, too quiet.

6:10 pm

Lizlin

Sure is!

6:10 pm

stidgmere

Tonight is orchestra practice. I need to be in form for that.

6:11 pm

Lizlin

So get brain in order with finding a few words? LOL!

6:11 pm

Lizlin

Nimble fingers through typing!

6:11 pm

stidgmere

Yes. This is so good for the grey cells and the fingers need sufficient exercise, too.

6:12 pm

stidgmere

How are the collecting expeditions going? Good drift wood and shells?

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Haven't found much recently but will go looking again soon. Shells are funny - seem to be seasonal! It's really hot here at the mo (though not like in the fire areas) and our car / trailer hasn't got ac at the mo!

6:13 pm

smores

homework and pie complete :)

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Hi smores :)

6:14 pm

smores

Hi Lizlin :)

6:14 pm

smores

the word pie kept staring at me so I had to make one...lol

6:14 pm

Lizlin

The terracing project has come to a halt until it cools down a bit!

6:14 pm

stidgmere

It makes sense for the shells to be a seasonal treasure. We are getting ready for possible snow in the next couple of days. Wish we could share our soup with you smores and have some custard pie for dessert!

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Haven't found any use for the ium ending yet - seems a bit of a waste.

6:15 pm

stidgmere

Are you using machinery or small tools for the terracing?

6:15 pm

smores

Most of our snow melted today...soup still sounds yummy though :)

6:15 pm

Lizlin

Just the husband!

6:16 pm

Lizlin

didn't think about shells being seasonal until we started collecting, nor did I realise how much the beach changes over time until I moved here!

6:16 pm

stidgmere

Hope hubby has a good back and thick gloves!

6:16 pm

smores

I commented earlier that this grid is awful if youre on a diet, lots of food words, both real and phantom...lol

6:17 pm

stidgmere

I was reading that Boston has had its January thaw already. Are you part of that smores?

6:17 pm

Lizlin

He's doing well! I join in with the artistic design bit!

6:17 pm

smores

No, I am in Indiana

6:17 pm

Lizlin

Soup and pie sound lovely - Wonder how long it'll take to fly over?

6:18 pm

Lizlin

My first word was the french cheese!

6:18 pm

smores

lol...mine was the sweet ta4

6:19 pm

stidgmere

Will you post pictures of the completed terrace project? It sounds intriguing. We can make more soup and pie. It is like a traveling potluck dinner.

6:19 pm

stidgmere

I start with the upper left corner and work my way down the columns. Still on the first column. Being chatty.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

Not sure - haven't used flickr or such like. But who knows? I've posted the work in progress on my fb page, so friends in UK can see what we're doing.

6:21 pm

stidgmere

I rarely use facebook as my husband is very private and not secure about social media.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

I started yesterday - flip here is at 4 pm since you changed the clocks. I'm down to my final 9. Have listed but not used dictionary yet!

6:21 pm

Lizlin

Mine too - he hates fb but I try not to post personal details, though I do sometimes slip up.

6:21 pm

smores

WooHoo Liz

6:22 pm

Lizlin

He wasn't too happy when I posted where I came from in London and when I moved here!!!!!

6:22 pm

Lizlin

That was on babble!

6:23 pm

stidgmere

Way to go liz! almost finished. Me with 93 left!

6:23 pm

smores

Well Liz you will just have to figure out flickr 'cause your babble friends want to see :)

6:23 pm

Lizlin

You'll get there!

6:23 pm

smores

down to 33

6:24 pm

Lizlin

OK - I'll see what I can do! have to ask Mimi how she did it, cos she had problems!

6:24 pm

smores

6:25 pm

stidgmere

I am horrible about pictures, too.

6:25 pm

Lizlin

Or I'll ask you, smores, cos I see you have pics!

6:26 pm

smores

lol..I don't remember how, kinda fumbled though it, wasn't too hard though :)

6:27 pm

Lizlin

Guess I have to set up a flickr account!

6:27 pm

smores

If I recall I saved them on my computer, set up the flickr account, then it had a place to select browse...

6:27 pm

smores

something like that...lol

6:28 pm

Lizlin

I'll sort it. Just spoke to hubby - he'll help!

6:29 pm

stidgmere

good for you liz!! Getting help is smart. I wait too long and waste time.

Husband misses playing Scrabble with me in fr5/16 of the fire place.He also believes that I get too enra4/5 in the grid.Oh Dr 4/5! My husband is being a br 4/6 and wants the computer.He thinks we should ro6/18 tu4/5s on this laptop. I hope that you've no6/18d my clues and found more words. By the way, only pa 4/5 of this story is true and other pa 5/12 are not true. I am going to go watch a James Bo4/7 movie. I will see you all tomorrow

Lizlin

6:40 pm

ChampFit

The ta5 is like a slang word for a mentally challenged person, take off the re, and add a vowel at the end.

6:40 pm

ChampFit

The one after the pies you serve with fish...ta5 sauce.

6:40 pm

MimiCat

BTW, hi, Liz!

6:42 pm

MimiCat

Awww, heck, Liz...sorry to see you leave but glad for the fw.

6:42 pm

Lizlin

I guess I'd've spelt the sauce differently but I should've remembered because it was in the grid a couple of days ago.

6:42 pm

Lizlin

I guess I'd've spelt the sauce differently but I should've remembered because it was in the grid a couple of days ago.

6:42 pm

stidgmere

Congrats Liz!! Well done.

6:43 pm

smores

6:43 pm

Lizlin

6:44 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Lizlin on your fireworks display! Way to go

6:48 pm

MimiCat

LOL, smores! ((hug))

6:48 pm

smores

Bye sweetie, enjoy your evening {{hugs}} :)

6:48 pm

stidmama

YAY liz and min! hey all

6:49 pm

stidmama

should I give this one a try?

6:49 pm

smores

hi stid :)

6:50 pm

smores

of course stidmama :)

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Hi stid :)

6:51 pm

Lizlin

Hey smores - browse - where? in flickr or babble?

6:52 pm

smores

in flickr...I think it says upload photos..then select browse and you can transfer the photos from your computer

6:54 pm

Lizlin

OK - I have a photo in flickr (actually 2 - I have no idea how a pic of my uncle's gravestone got there!!!). How do I transfer to babble?

6:56 pm

Lizlin

OK have now deleted unwanted photo!

6:58 pm

smores

go to "my account" on babble and there is a place to enter your flickr name...I think it is at the bottom of the page

6:59 pm

stidmama

sorry, was printing up some details. Judging debate on Friday, and I want to be sure I have a map of the campus this time! LOL (it's the "big" one our local HS students attend, and I really enjoy this venue)

7:00 pm

smores

sounds lovely stid...good idea to get map...don't want to be wandering around :)

7:04 pm

stidmama

I have fun at the tournaments. I like being around the kids who are actually interested enough to do their best at something. Unfortunately, sometimes the kids in the classrooms have too much going on outside the classroom to be able to do their best...

7:06 pm

smores

What grades do you teach?

7:07 pm

stidmama

I teach anything I get right now (subbing) but my preferred grade range is 4-7 or maybe 8... :-) I like ornery kids.

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Hmmm! Babble doesn't seem to like my flickr name!!!!!

7:08 pm

Lizlin

My fav years too stid

7:08 pm

smores

lol...stid

7:08 pm

smores

it won't let you enter your name?

7:08 pm

Lizlin

I also liked kids, who had some personality! I think that's what you mean too - transatlantic language barriers!

7:09 pm

Lizlin

No - it says an error has occurred!

7:09 pm

dan2bit

evening all!

7:09 pm

stidmama

:-) Liz, you're about the only teacher I know who actually says that! LOL It gets lonely knowing the kids are actually being age-appropriate, but looking for ways to help them be socially appropriate while they learn (and at the best of times the older ones are distracted by the maturation process).

7:10 pm

smores

hmmm....I would just try again later....it maybe a system problem right now.

7:10 pm

stidmama

hey dan!

7:10 pm

stidmama

hm. evening. supper. Must get something started. brb

7:10 pm

smores

Hi 2bit :)

7:11 pm

smores

bye for now stid :)

7:11 pm

Lizlin

Hi Dan - bye for now stid :)

7:11 pm

Lizlin

You could be right smores - it could be a clash of names but I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem!

7:12 pm

smores

me either, if flickr accepted the name then you should be able to enter it into babble

7:13 pm

stidmama

We are defaulted to frozen pizza for the kiddo and his dad, and reheated leftovers for me.

7:14 pm

stidmama

down to 52, and STILL looking for that elusive N.

7:14 pm

Lizlin

7:16 pm

stidmama

hi stid was off checking the weather.53 on Sunday

10:46 pm

stidmama

it was good, jilly! I subbed for a different teacher, but same set of 7th graders. LOL poor kids are starting to feel they can't get away from me! (it was only two classes, just the afternoon). BUT I discovered that I really do have a pretty good handle on how to approach them and how to get them to work. Which was a boost of confidence I needed.

10:46 pm

jmcnrick

it is suppose to be nice here too on sunday

10:46 pm

stidmama

It's supposed to maybe get above freezing on Friday... right now it is well below.

10:46 pm

westford

so nice to hear you are having such a good time teaching stid..I know how hard you have worked

10:48 pm

stidmama

thanks west - I really do, and I really enjoy 7th graders. ONCE we get past the ornery-ness (mine, as well as theirn!)

10:48 pm

westford

are they in middle school ?

10:49 pm

stidmama

yes, out here generally speaking 6-8 are in middle school, though a few districts keep 6 in elementary and have a "junior high" model instead.

10:49 pm

westford

that's what we had so 7th graders were the babies

10:50 pm

BabbleRabble

Do not understand why schools would want to keep junior high?

10:50 pm

westford

you're a caution bab lol

10:50 pm

stidmama

(((BR))) so glad you are still here! Wanted to tell you about a "blessing" I had this evening.

10:52 pm

stidmama

Was driving to get my elder son at his college to give him a ride to orchestra rehearsal. There, sitting on a stop sign was a SNOWY OWL!!!! (very rare in our location). It looked RIGHT at me. By the time I got turned around, it had disappeared. But it was such a lovely, unexpected -- joyful -- thing to happen to me today.

10:52 pm

stidmama

and I thought about you for some reason, and hoped you were having a good evening too.

10:52 pm

BabbleRabble

Must be an omen.

10:53 pm

10:54 pm

BabbleRabble

It is a stem cell.

10:55 pm

stidmama

BabbleRabble

Well, if the ghost could hold the writer's hand, the ghost could hold the pen.

10:59 pm

westford

ghost writers in the sky

10:59 pm

BabbleRabble

Not taking the case allow research to go on.

10:59 pm

jmcnrick
