Sleep well flosey :)

Hi Sarah

1:55 am

sarah6girls

nite flosey xx

1:55 am

Lizlin

:)

1:55 am

flosey

oh, hi sarah, nice to see you

1:56 am

sarah6girls

hi liz how are you x

1:56 am

flosey

see you tomorrow night

1:56 am

Lizlin

Good thanks. Great to read how the no smoking and the weight loss is going x

1:57 am

sarah6girls

am so pleased with myself :) and i treated myself i had hair cut yesterday :) x

1:58 am

Lizlin

Makes you feel so much better about yourself :)

1:59 am

sarah6girls

it do liz and got paint for in here and got new carpet to :)

1:59 am

Lizlin

That's brill. Bout time things went well for you :)

2:00 am

sarah6girls

it is but had moan at school again same boy picking on amie again :(

2:01 am

Lizlin

That's such a shame. Is Amie strong enough to put on a brave face at school and make a joke of it with her friends even if that's not what she really feels?

2:02 am

sarah6girls

no hun as it about her size she small for age :(

2:03 am

Lizlin

All the best people are small! But it's hard, for a kid. I guess she knows things like good things come in small packages!

2:04 am

sarah6girls

i tell her that all the time

2:04 am

Lizlin

It'd be great if she could just say that to him whenever he bullied her, then just walk away.

2:06 am

sarah6girls

i know but hard to do that x

2:07 am

Lizlin

If she could do it just once, it MIGHT make her feel better about herself, especially if she then walked away but I know it's hard.

2:09 am

sarah6girls

the head at school is talking to boy again today i did tell her she better sort it this time as i am now sick of this boy picking on amie and did tell her if happen again going above her head x

2:10 am

Lizlin

Glad you're taking a strong stand. Good luck. Bullying just shouldn't be tolerated by the school.

2:13 am

sarah6girls

i did say to head yesterday when she called me how would you feel if was your child and she said i not be happy

2:13 am

Lizlin

Too true!

2:32 am

sarah6girls

bbl x

2:33 am

flosey

hello again, tired but can't sleep

2:33 am

flosey

mind going around in circles

2:33 am

flosey

maybe I'll get these last 7 words

2:35 am

Lizlin

Good luck flosey :)

2:35 am

Lizlin

Bye Sarah x

2:35 am

flosey

thanks Liz, I'd rather get some sleep, but no good lying there wide awake

2:37 am

Lizlin

I know what you mean but perhaps the words are just playing on your mind!

2:37 am

flosey

ah, just missed Sarah, such a sweet lady

2:38 am

Lizlin

Having such a tough time with amie but doing so well with not smoking and weight loss :)

2:40 am

flosey

yes, great courage, in spite of being worried about amie

2:43 am

flosey

can't get this mi6, do you have any clues?

2:44 am

Lizlin

I wish. I've come to a halt with 60 left!

2:44 am

Haz1558

mi6/27 - a delicate French word. Think filet mi****.

2:45 am

flosey

ah, would never have thought of that, thanks Haz

2:45 am

Lizlin

Ty haz :)

2:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. And hello!

2:46 am

flosey

yes, hello Haz, don't very often see you

2:46 am

Lizlin

Me neither. Good morning to you :)

2:46 am

Haz1558

Hello, flosey, I'm usually on after you head to bed.

2:47 am

flosey

well I did tonight, didn't work, too much whirling around in my head

2:48 am

Haz1558

It's frustrating when you want to sleep and can't.

2:50 am

flosey

yes, best thing to do is just get up again, took half a sleeping pill and will try again when/if that kicks in

2:53 am

Haz1558

Hopefully it'll work soon - does it leave you feeling groggy in the morning?

2:53 am

flosey

no, get a good sleep and clear headed in morning

2:54 am

Haz1558

That's good.

2:55 am

Haz1558

Well, I have to go and get ready to go out. I hope you sleep well eventually, flosey. Bye for now!

2:55 am

flosey

thanks Haz, have a good day

2:56 am

Haz1558

You too. Bye.

2:58 am

flosey

just got last 2, no4 and 5 - monkeyed them almost every way possible

2:58 am

flosey

so it's fireworks, and goodnight again

3:02 am

Jivingjenny0

3:09 am

sprite

good morning all

3:15 am

BabbleRabble

Hello

3:17 am

BabbleRabble

phantom: skimmington

3:21 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble, sorry, I got distracted by email. Glad to see you! And *grin* at your phantom. You know that now I have to look up the meaning, don't you?

3:23 am

BabbleRabble

Interesting word but perhaps an activity some might not embrace.

3:23 am

sprite

ah, to ride the skimmington... indeed interesting, but not something I'd like to do... or have my love doing, for that matter.

3:24 am

sprite

I am sorry I hurt your feelings a couple of days ago, btw. Didn't intend to, but I hope you know that.

3:25 am

BabbleRabble

You did not.

3:25 am

sprite

ok... am glad. Would never do that intentionally.

3:28 am

BabbleRabble

I am very unwell now. Anger easily. Looking for the off button ... oblivion .... maybe a sip from the river lethe.

3:28 am

sprite

this grid looks decidedly unflexable. No speed going here.

3:29 am

sprite

I don't know all that is giving you a hard time, but the suicide on the forum was bad enough in itself. I really wish I could send you that little sip.

3:31 am

BabbleRabble

The grid is not so bad ... lots of ing words

3:32 am

sprite

really? Ok *kicks brain in gear* I was finding that ending rather disappointing. I must look better.

3:34 am

BabbleRabble

I guess 6 or so is not lots

3:35 am

sprite

but it is more that I had. Thanks.

3:39 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite and br

3:39 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

3:41 am

sprite

seeing your Tigger always brings a smile to my face

3:42 am

Lizlin

Ty Sprite. I love Winnie the Pooh :)

3:42 am

sprite

so do I.

3:42 am

Lizlin

And I think I'm a bit Tiggerish!

3:43 am

sprite

nothing wrong with a bit of da Tigger ;)

3:43 am

Lizlin

:)

3:57 am

sprite

family of our Tigger is in the grid today

3:59 am

xeiluj

Morning, just over half way through. Don't forget that y, I have used that quite a lot

3:59 am

sprite

hi xeiluj, thanks for the pointer. It is slow going here.

4:02 am

Rows

hey everybody

4:03 am

sprite

hi Rows :)

4:03 am

Rows

how's it going?

4:03 am

sprite

slow. But fun.

4:04 am

xeiluj

I really don't like A words :(

4:05 am

sprite

for some reason, words that start with a vowel are harder to spot for most of us.

4:05 am

Rows

yeah... it's a small one

4:05 am

Rows

at least for now it's a distraction

4:06 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ar6-24? Thanks

4:06 am

sprite

ar + in the center, in between

4:07 am

sprite

are you in need of distractions, Rows?

4:07 am

Rows

that clue didn't work for me... and yes i am

4:08 am

Rows

feeling crappy about work... found out today that i may end up being laid off after this school year, which is hard not to take personally

4:08 am

sprite

a ballet movement = ***besque.
We are glad to have you in our ****.

4:08 am

Rows

especially when i know that a lot of people were judging me a lot when i first was working at this school, and also people know that i don't like changes that they're making to my classes...

4:09 am

sprite

aw what a shame, Rows.

4:09 am

Rows

anyway

4:09 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, sprite.

4:09 am

Rows

i was going to most likely quit anyway, just feels shitty not to be at least offered a new contract, and i think that another teacher is also quitting anyway so there's not even need for them to lay me off

4:09 am

sprite

yvw peach

4:10 am

sprite

maybe some other school will suit you better, Rows?

4:10 am

Rows

yes i think so

4:10 am

Rows

it's just stressful, and i've been working my ass off and doing a great job

4:10 am

sprite

I can imagine. Very frustrating.

4:11 am

Rows

theoretically, that should mean that i can stay at this job... but no, they don't actually respect the foreign teachers at this school

4:11 am

Rows

anyway sorry for going into it so much... thanks for listening

4:11 am

Rows

i literally just found out that they may not offer me another contract

4:12 am

sprite

Babble is actually a good place to vent your frustration. Lots of people here care enough to listen :)

4:12 am

Rows

yeah :) i'm getting that

4:13 am

Lizlin

Sorry to read that Rows

4:13 am

Rows

thanks Liz

4:13 am

sprite

:)
And the distraction of the game is good too... it helps you to not think about it for a little while and allows you to come back to it with a clear mind. I am sorry you got such bad news. And I hope something better will come your way soon.

4:14 am

Rows

yeah.. well also now at least i get a break from work

4:14 am

Rows

2 weeks break with the exception of working one day next Thursday

4:14 am

gapeach

Rows, maybe, if this happens, you will be able to find something that you like much better in the long run.

4:14 am

sprite

a break is nice.

4:15 am

xeiluj

And maybe you will be appreciated at your next place??

4:15 am

gapeach

I do understand your frustration.

4:15 am

Rows

sure, peach, and i was already going to look for another job anyway cos i wasnt happy with decisions this school was making. it's just stressful to *have* to find another job, and hard not to take it a bit personally

4:15 am

Lizlin

Are there many other teaching jobs around that would suit you?

4:15 am

Rows

there are, but it's a bit early to find them at this point i think

4:16 am

Rows

though i'd not mind moving away from Shanghai

4:16 am

gapeach

That is true, Rows.

4:17 am

Lizlin

Well I' m sure it'll work out ok in the end. I thought my world had fallen apart when I had to change schools but I moved and met my hubby. So who knows what's in store?

4:17 am

sprite

I think taking it a bit personally is perfectly human. And I think, maybe, with you not liking the way the school is going, their decision just confirms your personal feelings about it.

4:18 am

sprite

almost the same thing that happened to me, Liz :) I HAD to accept a job at the builders' union and I SO did not want to work there. But I had to... and met my love there.

4:19 am

Rows

yeah... i mean, the thing is, this school is not an international school, though it pretends to be... they're a business through and through. they are not putting the needs of the kids first.

4:19 am

Lizlin

So out of the blue!

4:19 am

Rows

i'm a teacher, so the needs of the kids are my #1 priority. i also have an outspoken personality so i'm not going to just keep quiet and do nothing while they make decisions that affect the kids negatively

4:20 am

Rows

so if anything, maybe they dont want me around so i don't rock their little boat and make them look and feel bad

4:20 am

Lizlin

Wouldn't want to be at a school that didn't put kids first tho the demands sometimes make that very hard.

4:20 am

sprite

looks that way, Rows. They probably feel you will make them lose face... they don't want that.

4:21 am

Rows

there's pretty much no way i'd do that. i've lived in China long enough to know better. also i'm a very professional person... i'm not going to talk to the parents about my personal feelings about these changes... i pretend to them like it's all wonderful

4:21 am

Rows

but of course, it's all just wasted

4:22 am

Lizlin

You just answered my next question -how long you've been in China?

4:22 am

sprite

nothing's ever wasted, Rows. Everything you have given those children will remain.

4:22 am

Rows

i've been here almost 1.5 years

4:22 am

Rows

and i just mean, it's wasted, the act that i put on for the parents

4:23 am

Rows

because it's not like it's helping me keep my job for next year

4:23 am

Lizlin

But it could work against you if you didn't put the act on!

4:23 am

sprite

I can understand you feeling hurt

4:24 am

Rows

i guess it could... i mean, at this point i should at least still get a nice reference letter

4:24 am

Lizlin

Me too! You put in so much effort!

4:24 am

Lizlin

Always useful

4:24 am

sprite

yes, absolutely, a good reference is worth a lot.

4:25 am

Rows

well i haven't gotten nothing back as far as experience goes

4:25 am

Rows

it has been really good for my own professional development

4:26 am

sprite

see? Nothing's ever wasted. At some point in your life you will be glad you learned all this. And right now, it is pretty ok to be hurt and angry. Goes with being human, doesn't it.

4:26 am

Rows

yeah

4:26 am

Rows

just isn't fun

4:26 am

Lizlin

Yup!

4:27 am

Rows

i'd like to go out and get a drink with some friends... but i'm not sure it's gonna happen tonight

4:27 am

Lizlin

So it can only get better -I hope

4:27 am

Lizlin

Phone them and make it happen!

4:27 am

sprite

it will keep... maybe some other day soon

4:28 am

Rows

i don't have a lot of friends who are in town / available to go out

4:29 am

sprite

in the worst case, go home with a nice bottle of wine and come back to babble. You can have a virtual party and relax a bit that way.

4:29 am

Lizlin

Difficult to make friends when you move to a new place!

4:30 am

Rows

hehe true :)

4:30 am

Rows

that may be what i end up doing actually

4:30 am

Rows

Liz, friends are something difficult to really have in China anyway... or any foreign country for that matter

4:31 am

Rows

people come and go so often

4:31 am

Rows

my best friend in Shanghai moved away this month

4:31 am

Rows

back to the UK

4:31 am

sprite

fireflies. Tricky little grid. But fun.

4:31 am

Lizlin

I understand that - I've only been here 4 years. My sis in law was an ex pat in Malaysia and Thailand.

4:32 am

Rows

congrats!

4:32 am

Lizlin

Congrats sprite :)

4:32 am

sprite

I have to go... *hugs* to you all and a ray of sunshine for Rows and for BabbleRabble. Take care.

4:33 am

Lizlin

Enjoy your day :)

4:33 am

Rows

thanks, sprite! ray of sunshine to you too *hugs*

4:40 am

Rows

Liz, where are you from originally?

4:40 am

Lizlin

London

4:40 am

Rows

ah okay

Rows

so you find that people in Australia move in and out a lot?

4:40 am

Lizlin

And you?

4:41 am

Rows

i'm from the US

4:43 am

Lizlin

Not so much the moving - I'm here permanently but being in my 50s most people already have friendship groups and although we have friends, it's not like the friends you grow up with.

4:43 am

Lizlin

Actually the people we've met have been very friendly.

4:45 am

Rows

ah i see

4:45 am

Rows

well it looks like i will get to go out tonight with a friend

4:45 am

gapeach

Nite my peeps.....going to try to sleep once again.

4:45 am

Rows

goodnight peach :)

4:46 am

Lizlin

My sis in law always said that locals didn't want to invest too much effort into making friends with wax pats because they move on.

4:46 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Peach :)

4:46 am

Rows

yeah... well it's even harder to make friends with locals in China

4:47 am

Rows

there are pretty big cultural differences and a language barrier

4:47 am

Rows

so almost all my friends here are expats

4:47 am

Lizlin

I can believe it - getting over the language barrier must be hard. And the culture is so different.

4:47 am

Lizlin

Great minds!

4:48 am

Rows

haha yep

4:48 am

Lizlin

Got to go for now. Enjoy your evening. Se you soon :)

11:38 am

rubyfoo

hello, this is the first moment I've had -- been to Lausanne and back

11:38 am

Ah slogging. That is another Babble verb. Along with toddling, meandering, plodding and poofing.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

hello westford and molly

11:38 am

westford

hi ruby

11:38 am

rubyfoo

how about woofing

11:39 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby. Sounds like the French version of Louisiana.

11:39 am

rubyfoo

close enough -- eye doctor appt for us both and a friend drove us

11:39 am

westford

I have that expensive steak and the wherewithal to buy it

11:40 am

rubyfoo

that's what we had for lunch

11:40 am

westford

did your prescriptions run out ruby?

11:40 am

westford

so there is some good food there

11:41 am

rubyfoo

I hadn't been for 3 yrs and needed a checkup. Husbnad has glaucoma

11:41 am

rubyfoo

there's a wonderful resto near the doctor's office so it makes it a little bit festive

11:41 am

westford

how are they treating it?

11:42 am

rubyfoo

he uses drops every day which control the pressure well. Unfortunately, he let the scrips lapse once, and suffered some damage

11:42 am

westford

I need to get my eyes checked

11:42 am

rubyfoo

both of my parents had major eye problems, so I worry

11:42 am

rubyfoo

my vision and eye pressure haven't changed in these 3 yrs

11:43 am

westford

that's good

11:46 am

rubyfoo

Lausanne is much nicer than Geneva, more of a "real" place

11:46 am

rubyfoo

Geneva is just fancy shops, banks and restaurants

11:47 am

westford

it's nice to get out isn't it?

11:48 am

rubyfoo

very nice

11:48 am

11:55 am

westford

must have started with the corsets but now they are wearing those shapeless sacks

11:57 am

MollyL

I like some of the drop waist styles of the 20's. Especially anything with fringe.

11:58 am

westford

better when they got shorter

11:59 am

MollyL

Has no clue why the mo5/6 combo is someone who is very ballsy. It's a science geek word.

4:54 pm

MollyL

Hi Gran Mere. What smells good in your kitchen today?

4:56 pm

stidgmere

Today we had crab for lunch, Molly. I fixed a thousand island style dressing (mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and horseradish along with sweet relish), lettuce, french bread. We spent over an hour at table cracking jokes and crab. Murphy had a taste after we finished and he wants a crab of his own next time. So who will crack his crab?

4:57 pm

MollyL

Being a Maryland girl, I love crabs. And half the fun of eating them is the cracking jokes and crab part. Sounds delicious.

4:58 pm

MollyL

Oh and I will share my crab meat with Murphy any day.

4:59 pm

stidgmere

We have a local fish market where the owner's brothers have a crab fishing boat. The owner writes a weekly enewsletter which highlights the fresh fish along with recipes. Absolutely a great saleslady!!

5:00 pm

stidgmere

So, here's the plan, Molly. You fly out here, we provide crab, crackers, and pick. Murphy sits next to you and we all have a crabfest.

5:01 pm

MollyL

*Packs crab mallets, crab picks, crab bibs and fixings to make hush puppies. Arranges for cold beer to be delivered.*

that mi5/20 is my last word and cannot see it in morewords

5:16 pm

crosshair

my thoughts are if you pay your employees so little that they MUST have tips to make a living wage,then maybe you should not be in business

5:16 pm

Jillyjill

Well, there goes eating at Applebees...I so totally agree with you crossy

5:16 pm

Jillyjill

and hello all

5:17 pm

periwinkle

I agree crossy. but waitstaff here in the states are paid very poorly and depend on tips

5:17 pm

Hello jilly. Waiting for peri to fireworks.

5:17 pm

but the tip should not be automatic

5:17 pm

5:17 pm

periwinkle

how are you feeling, Jilly?

5:17 pm

crosshair

i just monkyed the mi 5/20

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

Well peri, I still feel it is up to the wait staff to perform and me to judge, and tip their service

5:18 pm

periwinkle

I agree Jilly

5:18 pm

Peri Mi 5/20 Like the Dynasty = add a vowel at the end

5:21 pm

Should have said sometimes vowel. I had cataract surgery this morning. Not seeing very well at the moment.

5:21 pm

Jillyjill

I think it takes a big set of go6/27 to tell me what I should tip...

5:22 pm

crosshair

indeed,that is so annoying

5:22 pm

stidgmere

And yet you are Babbling? Good for you habes. Hope your recovery is swift and complete.

5:23 pm

crosshair

if i made 18% on every car i filled up or serviced over the last 30 years,i would be a millionare

5:23 pm

Habes

Thanks. It went well.

5:24 pm

crosshair

my mrs had cataracts and glass lenses done in both eyes a few years ago.quite the difference eh habes?:))

5:24 pm

MollyL

TIP stands for "to insure performance". It should be an extra, not a given.

5:26 pm

crosshair

indeed,do not use me to bring your employee,s pay cheque up to what it should be in the first place

5:26 pm

Habes

It's a huge difference. My vision was pretty good to begin with until the cataracts. The past year or so has been pretty miserable. Now I can see again!

5:27 pm

crosshair

i know there is different min wage levels in state for food servers and this also should not be

5:27 pm

MollyL

Not only that but a guaranteed tip does not inspire servers to do their best.

5:27 pm

stidgmere

Very pleased to know you already are seeing better!!

5:27 pm

crosshair

but i will get off my soapbox on this for now

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

5:35 pm

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

Book Doctor Gwen

gimme a drumstick with some paprika on it

5:41 pm

5:42 pm

MollyL

Dippy doo??

5:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

once you cook 'em there's no slime

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Tastes okay , but give me scallops over escargo any day

mmmm,calamari,lightly battered,deep fried and a dash of sea salt,creacked pepper and a splash of lemon juice

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, reminds me of a story...when we first moved into our little villlage, the local market had just opened a fish counter...

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

Standing there was an older couple whom looked like a chubby version of American Gothic...bib overals and all

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

So my hubby and i proceed to order some calamari steaks, to which the farmer couple asked What Are Those?

5:46 pm

MollyL

*Hears America The Beautiful playing in the background*

5:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

gotta run, something came up, BBL

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

The counter person said, 'calamari'. No, he said, what ARE they, the counter person then described the taste still he persisted as to what they were, the counter person described how to cook them...

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

finally and loudly he again asked, NO WHAT ARE THEY...timidly the counter person said "squid'....their faces then became priceless....probably first fish counter they had ever been at...

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

But watching the counter person do everything they could to avoid saying squid...

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

And I killed the chog.... ;-(

5:51 pm

We think that if there were to be shortages of foods, our family would survive nicely, like the Caliornia Indians who ate everything in season.

6:46 pm

Dorens

sorry, molly, stepped away from the computer. Things went ok with Lucy, she died at home at 1:30 Monday morning... I had brought her into my bedroom and she was relatively peaceful. I buried her in my garden yesterday and still miss her, but I'll be okay.

6:47 pm

rururocks

when you have a great, great pet Doren.. it's about the time you had.. not the ending

6:47 pm

I'm glad it was peaceful Dorens. I'm sorry you lost your friend.

Yes, hon, the wind was rampant until around 5:00AM.

6:48 pm

true ru. and we had a good long time. Probably just as well she ended it with me instead of a vet's office with a shot.

6:48 pm

rururocks

still it's very sad..i'm sorry

6:49 pm

gapeach

I am so sorry Dorens.

6:49 pm

Dorens

thanks to you all. this is definitely the place to get sympathy at the loss of a pet. Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis of percentage of babblers with beloved pets vs. the general population?

6:50 pm

Dorens

silly rhetoricall question, don't answer

6:50 pm

MollyL

I don't know Dorens but it seems like everyone who plays Babble (except me) has pets.

6:50 pm

saanichcat

I add my condolences and that was a lovely comment ruru.I have always paid more to have the vet come to my place so the cat doesn't have the stress of travel.

6:50 pm

Dorens

I don't think owl does, but I could be wrong

6:51 pm

rururocks

I think Owl has cats no? or am I thinking of someone else

6:51 pm

Dorens

thanks saanichat

6:52 pm

we don't have any pets anymore - but have had a dog and multiple ferrets

6:52 pm

MollyL

When I first started playing I thought it was a word game for pet owners because chat was all about cats and dogs.

6:52 pm

Dorens

owl likes cats, but don't think she has one. I have heard that Peri does, though, and they both live in the Philadelphia area..?

6:53 pm
