Sad that prob won't meet Flosey and Jilli - if I have any time (though I'm sure I won't) I will contact them - but not publicly! We're both very suspicious and untrusting of open sites!

9:43 am

I made Burt's spicy chicken and will have pasta carbonara with the extra pasta
9:43 am

his spicy chicken is too hot for anybody else!
9:43 am

oooo spicy chicken! I love that.
9:43 am
sprite

smores, funny isn't it, with all those time zones :)
9:43 am
smores

:) yes, yes it is
9:44 am
rubyfoo

it is so hot that our old boy, Rufus, used to run out the door when I'd make it because he couldn't stand the fumes!
9:44 am
sprite

wow... I worked neatly today. Am left with only Ts and Ss :)
9:44 am
sprite

wow that is really hot. Too hot for me, I think.
9:44 am
smores

lol...wow ruby
9:44 am
rubyfoo

what's funny is that Burt grew up in a house where his mother used NO seasonings, probably not even salt
9:45 am
sprite

that is really bland eating. I can imagine he needed to compensate.
9:45 am
rubyfoo

and they used to make him sit there until bedtime with a plate of cold, unseasoned cauliflower
9:45 am
rururocks

wouldn't he get enough salt from your personality ruby?
9:45 am
smores

ugh...
9:45 am
rubyfoo

but I think his taste buds are totally burned out and his food has to be way over the top now
9:45 am
smores

lol hi ruru
9:45 am
rubyfoo

ya think, ruru?
9:46 am

my parents did the same with me, ruby. Endless sitting with the cold plate.
9:46 am

hiya ruru :)
9:46 am
rubyfoo

I think I've become pretty bland in my old age lol
9:46 am
rururocks

hi sprite, ruby, and smores
9:46 am
smores

no ruby helps him avoid sweets :)
9:47 am
rubyfoo

I was lucky, my mother was too busy to care what (or if) I ate. And we ate in restaurants a couple of times a week because my mother worked
9:47 am
sprite

Burt doesn't need help for that. He has decided not to eat sweets and he doesn't.
9:47 am
medusa

hi ruru
9:47 am
smores

My mom would sometimes do that, but she was an excellent cook at least
9:47 am
rubyfoo

I was really a lucky kid
9:47 am
rururocks

good morning medusa
9:47 am
rururocks

I cooked for myself as a kid
9:47 am
sprite

my mother worked too, and I cooked. My mother wasn't a good cook at all. I am though.
9:47 am

hello medusa; we are talking about food, as usual
9:48 am

why was that, ruru?
9:48 am
medusa

lol. hi ruby
9:48 am

9:48 am
sprite

oh cool! I'll make sure to bring a recipe or two then.
9:48 am
medusa

oops. pb for me!
9:48 am
rubyfoo

we are all cringing from the red boxes of doom
9:48 am

My mom did most the cooking but made sure we all learned how
9:48 am
sprite

hehehe hard to avoid that one, medusa
9:49 am
medusa

had lots of them!
9:49 am
smores

still some coffee in there medusa :)
9:49 am
rubyfoo

I discovered Rijstafel the first time in Amsterdam and "adopted" some of the side dishes for my Indian cooking. That was in the old days (lol) when I was an ambitious cook
9:49 am
medusa

red boxes that is
9:49 am
sprite

yes, the chog is misbehaving today. More than the participants. I prefer the ot5 way around.
9:49 am
rururocks

my parents weren't home that much sprite.. we sort of had to fend for ourselves
9:50 am
sprite

ah yes, Rijsttafel. Actually Indonesian. But very much integrated into dutch cooking now.
9:50 am
smores

:) sprite
9:50 am
rubyfoo

when I got married, still living at home until then, I didn't know how to cook an egg
9:50 am
sprite

am sorry to hear that, ruru. But I bet you are a great cook.
9:50 am
smores

lol...ruby
9:51 am
rubyfoo

I learned how to cook, dinner by dinner, as I was a (very young) faculty wife
9:51 am
rururocks

I am a really good cook.. that's for sure.. I can't repair anything.. but I can cook well.
9:51 am
rubyfoo

I was a very good cook for a long time, but not any more. Too tired now
9:52 am
rubyfoo

now, I'm better at repairing stuff
9:52 am
sprite

cooking is more important, ruru. Much more!
9:52 am
smores

When I was a teen, she made me resposible for at least 2 dinners a week.
9:52 am
rubyfoo

(I am sure that ruru is my doppelganger!)

9:52 am
rubyfoo

<-- loves ruru
9:53 am
rururocks

:D
9:53 am
smores

agree with sprite, I can handle stuff being broke better than being hungry :)
9:53 am
sprite

I did 5 from the time I was 8. Still hate cooking with a vengence, unless it is very relaxed and incidental.
9:53 am
sprite

ruru rocks. Big time.
9:53 am
rubyfoo

the most fun is having a girlfriend in the kitchen and drinking and cooking together. My kitchen was designed for that!
9:54 am
smores

I enjoy it most of the time
9:54 am
smores

sounds nice ruby
9:54 am
medusa

my biggest problem is that i love my nedlework!
9:54 am
sprite

it is, ruby! I am looking forward to sitting there again. And helping out with cutting and cleaning.
9:54 am
smores

why is that a problem medusa?
9:55 am
sprite

lol medusa, that is no problem. Needlework is lovely. Only thing is, you can't eat it ;)
9:55 am
medusa

coz i do it most of the time! lol
9:55 am
smores

LOL
9:55 am
rubyfoo

I loved cooking and entertaining, but have gotten tired of it in the last 8 years or so. My "best" was a buffet Indian dinner for 12, breads, desserts and everything, "hausegemachte" in Princeton
9:55 am
smores

when you're not babbling of course :)
9:56 am
medusa

exactly sprite! when i get into a project i forget everything including to eat!
9:56 am
sprite

grin... what's for dinner today, hun?
- well.... errr.... cross stitched cauliflower.
9:56 am
sprite

medusa, I can see how that may be a problem. But isn't it a wonderful feeling, to be caught up in a project?
9:56 am
medusa

lmao! thats about right sprite. i even knit while i am chatting online and stuff!
9:57 am
sprite

:D
9:57 am
rubyfoo

Medusa: you're not so far away: you come here and teach me your crafts and I'll cook you some spicy chicken! lol
9:58 am
medusa

it is a great feeling sprite. thing is i have ocd and panic attacks so it is when i finish a project i get that sense of achievement from it
9:58 am
rubyfoo

Many years ago, when I lived in London (my son was 4) and I spent a lot of time in the playground, crocheting freehand, an Indian woman said "The reason you are doing that so badly is that you are doing it with the wrong had!"
9:58 am
medusa

now that would be great if i had a passport ruby!
9:58 am
sprite

I can relate, medusa. *hugs*
9:59 am
medusa

lol ruby!
9:59 am
sprite

lol ruby
9:59 am
rubyfoo

does one need a passport within the EU?
9:59 am
medusa

thanks sprite. i am just addicted to needlework and reading! lol
9:59 am
smores

?what? ruby, that's crazy
9:59 am
sprite

same here, lol. Very much so.
9:59 am
rubyfoo

I learned to knit with a right-handed person sitting in front of me
10:00 am
smores

are you a leftie ruby?
10:00 am
rubyfoo

I guess you can't be left-handed in India
10:00 am
medusa

i would need one to get to france ruby
10:00 am
rubyfoo

In every sense, smores! lol
10:00 am
sprite

yes ruby, we do. We are supposed to carry a passport with us when we go abroad. Most borders there is no checking though.
10:00 am
medusa

my nan taught me to knit when i was about 5 and i have never stopped
10:01 am
smores

Me too, ruby :D
10:01 am
sprite

but to cross the Channel, we absolutely need one
10:01 am
rubyfoo

Once, when I was in Casablanca (on one of my "adventures"), I went to a dinner party and ate with the wrong hand.
10:02 am
sprite

ouch. Yes, in some places you better use the right hand for eating, or you insult the cook.
10:02 am
smores

<---always eats with "wrong" hand
10:02 am
rubyfoo

let's take a count: who is left-handed?
10:02 am
medusa

i am left handed in some things coz i used to be left handed when i was younger but they made me use my right hand at school
10:02 am
medusa

i am half left!
10:03 am
rubyfoo

my husband's teachers told him he would never go to college if he continued to use his left hand!
10:03 am
smores

they tried that with me too medusa, my mom kinda went off on the teacher...lol
10:03 am
sprite

I am pretty much ambidexter.
10:03 am
rubyfoo

I knit left-handed
10:03 am
smores

sooo, I remained left handed :D
10:03 am
harpjane

hi
10:03 am
medusa

now thats handy sprite
10:03 am
medusa

hi harpjane
10:03 am
harpjane

i have one of each. one right and one left
10:03 am
rubyfoo

I do strength-related things on the right side, but am not ambidextrous
10:03 am
sprite

yes. Especially for using a screwdriver in nasty corners :)
10:04 am
medusa

my school got away with it smores!
10:05 am
rubyfoo

one of each what, harpjane? Children? In my (very) large exgended family, the second-born cousin was always left handed
10:05 am
smores

I can do most of things with my right ( except write) but I instinctively you my left
10:05 am
harpjane

lol ruby, the server had a tantrum so i didn't get to finish....
10:05 am
rubyfoo

10:06 am
sprite

one of each hands... a leftie and a right one
10:06 am
medusa

you too jane?
10:06 am
harpjane

factoid--a disproportionate number of professional harpists are left handed.
10:06 am
rubyfoo

we are all rushing to chat before the red boxes descend again
10:06 am
sprite

hey, didn't know that. Interesting!
10:06 am
rubyfoo

40% of artists are left-handed : michaelangelo, leonardo, etc.
10:07 am
medusa

nor did i sprite. is there any particular reason jane?
10:07 am
sprite

fireflies. Very nice grid.
10:07 am
medusa

wtg sprite
10:07 am
rubyfoo

you qare too smart, sprite! xx
10:07 am
harpjane

the bass strings are heavier and those who can play with dexterity in both hands have a slight edge in the harp world.
10:07 am
smores

My mom asked me why my school papers were so messy, and I told her " they make me use this hand" she was at the school the very next day.
10:07 am
medusa

i did not know that either ruby
10:07 am
smores

WTG sprite !!!! woohoo
10:08 am
medusa

thats interesting jane.
10:08 am
rubyfoo

left-handedness is an interesting question
10:08 am

bye all, must be off, alas. Take care. *hugs*

10:08 am
rubyfoo

{{sprite}}
10:08 am
smores

lol...yes, we are the only ones in our right mind :D
10:08 am
harpjane

Plus, as any leftie knows, it is harder to favor non-dominant hand if you are a leftie. So the non-dominant hand ends up with more dexterity on a left-handed person.
10:08 am
medusa

bye sprite
10:09 am
rubyfoo

raofl
10:09 am
medusa

lol
10:09 am
rubyfoo

that is so true, harpjane
10:09 am
smores

Bye sprite, enjoy your day dear :)
10:10 am
rubyfoo

I'm going to re-address dinner. And probably have another gin in the process
10:10 am
harpjane

If you injure your dominant arm, your recovery time will be shorter. Plus your brain will get to learn all sorts of new things!
10:10 am
smores

Enjoy ruby :)
10:11 am
rubyfoo

evidently, stroke victims are better off if they are left-handed. Who knew?
10:11 am
smores

My dad was left handed until he broke his arm.
10:11 am
smores

Wow, never heard that one ruby
10:11 am
harpjane

that is interesting ruby (the stroke victim thing, AND the gin thing)
10:12 am
medusa

wow! you learn alsorts here!
10:12 am
rubyfoo

the gin thing is probably more relevant in my life at this point. LOL
10:13 am
medusa

but i guess the stroke thing works because a stroke affects the right side!
10:13 am
smores

I used to have a set of leftie mugs...they had a small hole at the lip so if a right handed person drank from one it dribbled. :D
10:13 am
rubyfoo

we are all learning from each other, what a joy!
10:13 am

getting anywhere with the shut down class yet?
1:36 pm
stidmama

I am well, thanks -- our school had an extra planned day off, so I am home alone, enjoying listening to the radio and working on little projects. You?
1:37 pm
Bugsaw

I am enjoying the sunshine and Babbling in between phone call about insurance. Not so much fun
1:38 pm
stidmama

And not yet, we'll see how that class responds to the new arrangement. I think it will un-nerve them, which is bad, but I think the other three classes will benefit, which is good. The one class will figure out that it's not really all that much different, and then we'll be fine.
1:38 pm
stidmama

I am getting connection errors... insurance?

I see that it's chilly where you are, Wyrd -- so sorry. Our temps are far above normal and I am worried we may get a late frost next month which would be really really bad.

wow bugs, good luck with that -- really hard to pull something like that together (have been there done that)
1:41 pm

we had a dusting of snow last night on Vancouver Island but it is sunny and bright today
1:41 pm
Wyrd

we have some blue sky, but big billowy rain clouds mostly, 43 degrees so far
1:41 pm
Bugsaw

it is working stid and I am enjoying the challenge. we got a new treasurer and a new president who know what needs to be done
1:42 pm
stidmama

glad you're getting sun up there, bugs -- I really think I do better when it's brighter outside :-) at least, I sure do notice the dust on the furniture, which gets me up and moving! LOL
1:42 pm
cybernan

hi stid :)
1:43 pm
cybernan

saw you mom here a few days ago, but haven't seen you for awhile
1:43 pm
Bugsaw

do you have a SAD light stid? I eat breakfast with mine every day and it really helps give me the rays I need
1:43 pm
stidmama

I am long-term subbing in a 7th grade math teacher's room. About to start my 6th or 7th week, with no end in sight...
1:44 pm
stidmama

yes, I do have one, bugs -- and I use it in the mornings when I am getting ready for work. When I can reach it. Going to uncover it on my next break.
1:45 pm
Bugsaw

you may finish the year with those kids stid and I like the way you are taking over the classroom to suit you. It might shake the kids up but they will see that you are there for the long haul.
1:46 pm
stidmama

I would not mind finishing up the year, bugs -- I have the support of the administrators, and checked into getting my certification here -- if I can pass the state test for math at this level I can ask for my credentialing institution to do a couple observations of me teaching and pay a fee (less than the cost of a program) and add this endorsement to my resume...
1:47 pm
Bugsaw

sounds very complicated. up here once you are in, you just keep getting hours until you can get a full time job
1:48 pm
stidmama

Which is the other thing I want to do this afternoon -- I am taking an online noncredit math course to refresh my knowledge of Algebra. I "did the math" and it has been almost 30 years since I took calculus. One stats class and one very watered-down "math for elementary teachers" class in the interim. I am so rusty with many concepts! Fortunately they are past the point where these kids are. ;-)
1:48 pm
stidmama

I am qualified to teach at this level of math if it were a "self contained" classroom where I taught all subjects. But they make a distinction for teachers who do only one subject, so technically I am not "highly qualified"
1:49 pm
Bugsaw

the math for elementary kids will do you the most good for middle school kids. some of them have not mastered the skills before they get to you
1:49 pm
stidmama

I know, Bugs... *sigh* which is part of the issue for my kiddos. But since I know the math that should be preparatory to this, I am able to fill in a lot of the gaps in knowledge as we go along.
1:50 pm
Bugsaw

ah, so you are starting your career as a specialist. I shud have known you wud find the tough route *smiles*
1:51 pm
stidmama

rofl... I never do seem to get the easy way. Must be the Irish part of me, making doors instead of going through the open ones. Though it makes me feel closer to my paternal grandmother who was a 50+ year old new teacher and opted in as a middle school math teacher because that's where the openings were. I wish she were still around for me to share things with.

Yep. He's rather "chuffed" -- ALSO, he got a "superior" rating for his signing at the state Solo and Ensemble competition. Mother played the piano for that. He thinks it wasn't good enough because he wasn't invited to the All-State Choir, but it was his first time for that competition.

Nef

hi peri, ibuxx and Jilly
4:27 pm
stidmama

It's rough for sure, Nef, but getting better. Slowly but surely, I am getting to the point where I can smile at the kids without them deciding that's an invitation to take advantage of me.
4:27 pm
Nef

is this all autocorrect mistakes, stid; or are you tired?
4:27 pm
Jillyjill

Still love ya stid! hilly or jilly!
4:28 pm
stidmama

And also to the point where when I have to reprimand a student officially (in writing to the principal) I can actually take them aside and explain why I am doing it and they don't fly off the handle. Most of them...
4:28 pm
stidmama

autocorrects, Nef
4:28 pm
stidmama

also tired and my eyes don't like the material I am sewing on... dark thread on dark background. But I'll be done today and back to normal.
4:28 pm
Nef

Good news, stid (about the teaching stuff)
4:29 pm
stidmama

YAY! past halfway!!!
4:29 pm
Nef

what's the new vest look like?
4:29 pm
stidmama

:-) one of my issues with the eyes of course is that once I overdo it I get migraines, so I am being VERY careful to take regular breaks.
4:30 pm
Nef

and you don't need migraines with this job!
4:30 pm
stidmama

It's two-sided again, different pattern, but should still be good (I couldn't find the one I usually make...). I am not, of course, following directions, because I have to mess with everything.
4:30 pm
stidmama

I am sure in retrospect that I drove my own math and science teachers NUTS!
4:30 pm
Nef

directions??? What are those? ;-)
4:31 pm
stidmama

I'll post a couple pics to my blog when I am done. Silly me, didn't take little pics all along, but that's okay. I have a couple "in process" shots.
4:31 pm
stidmama

LOL Nef! I used to sew a lot, so I have the hubris to think I can make things up as I go along...
4:32 pm
stidmama

oh my -- going to lose my sunlight soon. Must get back to work on the detail things (putting on the pockets) before that happens. Back later. **hugs and choclits for all**


*poof*
4:33 pm
Nef

"do you normally take pictures all the way through a process" was not found in the dictionary
SIGH.
4:33 pm
Nef

I can't play the grid and chat today I guess
4:33 pm
stidmama

LOL and with creative things, yes Nef -- I like to document what I did so I can either repeat or avoid! *repoof*
4:36 pm
KatieMcG

half way without the list - happy dance :)
4:37 pm
Nef

BTW, everyone; I'm getting my kitchen redone next week! I can hardly wait! :-D
4:37 pm
Nef

(since stid spoke of pictures along the way; I think I'll do that too; not just the before and after pics.
4:38 pm
Nef

wtg, KatieMcG
4:39 pm
KatieMcG

That is a great idea Nef, we did ours last year ourselves and took pictures all the way through it's nice to see how far it has come from where it started when you take it for granted that you have a lovely new kitchen
4:40 pm
Jillyjill

nice nef! *polite jealousy*
4:40 pm
Nef

I'm having Home Depot do it. It probably costs more; but it will be done sooner.
4:41 pm
KatieMcG

We are doing the livingroom now and I wish we had taken before pictures. I am sitting on garden furniture next the wallpapering table as I type.
4:41 pm
MLFAN17

i have el 4/4 and el 4/5 for the first E first column does anybody know what the other one is?
4:41 pm
Nef

Our kitchen has a small window facing south but it's your basic small 1950's galley style
4:41 pm
KatieMcG

Another good idea it took us a month and nearly killed us. There was a real sense of achievement but not sure it was worth the heartache. We couldn't afford to get someone to fit it as we did it a bit spur of the moment.
4:42 pm
KatieMcG

We got ours from IKEA.
4:42 pm
Nef

It's always been so dark in there; I painted the dark cabinets while about 10 years ago but now I just need a big change
4:43 pm
MLFAN17

we got new windows for our house last year
4:43 pm
Nef

er 4/4
4:43 pm
KatieMcG

4:43 pm
MLFAN17

ty nef
4:44 pm
Jillyjill

Yippee!! got the 9/10 combo!!
4:44 pm
KatieMcG

Oh MLF we need to do that next year but the people who sell them are so vile I can't bear to have them in the house which is a bit of an issue
4:44 pm
KatieMcG

wtg Jilly
4:45 pm
MLFAN17

i have st 5/12 for the 2nd column S what am i missing?
4:45 pm
Nef

4:45 pm
periwinkle

2nd se6/18 pls
4:47 pm
MLFAN17

we used window world and love them
4:47 pm
Nef

We put new windows in the back half of the house the years we moved in here (1992); finished the rest off about 10-12 years ago and they were much cheaper for the same energy efficiency.
4:48 pm
Jillyjill

nbt/nbs...sheesh this grid can have it's moments!
4:48 pm
MLFAN17

jilly i have nbt and bs and i agree with you
4:48 pm
KatieMcG

we ripped everything back to the bare walls but installed a kitchen that we can change the doors next time without the nightmare we went through this time
4:49 pm

5:21 pm
Nef

yep, zoozz. He's not happy (but 5:30 is pretty late for a nap; right?
5:22 pm
zoozzoom

Wellll..yeah..although i do tend to nap..when ever the mood takes me..lol
5:23 pm
Nef

but piucking up the recipes will provide the exercise: it's an under the cupboard one that's chock full of recipes .. about 10 inches deep so the are ALL over everything
5:24 pm
zoozzoom

Oh dear..that will take some time to pick-up then.
5:24 pm

5:46 pm
zoozzoom

Oh my..just watched an opening song on youtube..yeah..looks a litle bit like a childrens tv show called rainbow here.
5:50 pm
MollyL

There is nothing quite like hearing those kids show opening songs over and over and over again when you have small kids in the house. The Gumby song in particular resonates in the deep corners of my brain.
5:54 pm
zoozzoom

wow you are going back a bit now, Molly..1967.
5:56 pm
MollyL

Actually, there was a Gumy revival in the 80's. That is how my kids know it.
5:57 pm

6:14 pm
stidgmere

I could use some of the re words after the last re 4, 5. There are three words: 6, 21, 7, 32 and 6, 21 that I don't seem to monkey.
6:14 pm
zoozzoom

hi al. stidgmere, I make something similar. But use cream cheese, nonfat greek yogurt, dijon mustard, lemon juice, worcestshire sauce and finely chopped pecans. yum.
6:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i make something similar, too, but with chicken and rice . . .
6:52 pm
stidgmere

Oh my, I like the idea of the pecans along with your other ingredients, dorens.
6:52 pm
cosdem

take M from smeesh ansd change it too a letter'
6:52 pm
MollyL

Anything with pecans is a home run.
6:52 pm
Dorens

nice crunch. i think i like nuts in just about anything. salad, rice, you name it
6:53 pm
ChampFit

cos, that's a goofy word! thx. Hi all!
6:53 pm
cosdem

pecans are expensive. i wanted to make a pie but didnt want to pay 10 bucks for pecans
6:53 pm
stidgmere

ty molly for the sm clew.
6:54 pm
Dorens

i just came back from boston. driving four and a half hours home//basically to have lunch with my son. but he's worth it. and it was in the federal reserve bank buiding which has this amazing dining room on the 32nd floor overlooking the harbor.
6:54 pm
MollyL

They are expensive Cos. I buy them in small quantities and add them to things like cookies and muffins.
6:55 pm
Dorens

i buy in huge quantities at costco and freeze them. much cheaper than small quantities.
6:55 pm
stidgmere

What a lovely lunch date!! 32 floors. That is a high building.
6:55 pm
Dorens

really special. and he sprung it on me that he and his wife are moving to california this summer. I guess the spectacular setting softened the news
6:56 pm
stidgmere

California. That means a field trip, I think.
6:56 pm
Dorens

i suspect there will be several in the next few years...
6:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

long drive for lunch all right! glad it was worth it
6:58 pm
Dorens

me too. could have been worse news, i suppose..
6:58 pm
MollyL

I have a hard time shopping at a place like Costco for two, on my budget. I know you can buy big quantities of things and save, but I don't usually have the luxury of buying the big quantities.
6:59 pm
stidgmere

Bags in the store look so innocent but bring them home and they fill my pantry.
6:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

but there's things you can buy one of at costco, too
6:59 pm
Dorens

i do my own personal food co-op. I have one friend who always wants to split their huge bags of broccoli florets which are half the price of the food stores... another who will do the romaine lettuce, another the big block of cheddar. It is silly. since i live alone, but I just love the bargain (and quality)
7:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

like clothes, books, DVDs, bags of snack food . . .
7:00 pm
MollyL

I wish I had that Dorens. That is the way to save at places like Costco if you are not buying for a large family.
7:01 pm
Dorens

i once had three kids and it made a lot of sense....now, i just can't give it up. Molly, do you have bneighbors who would be interested?
7:03 pm
MollyL

Nope, no neighbors interested and all of my single friend eat out more than they shop for food to cook at home.
7:04 pm
Dorens

so you single friends are rich?
7:04 pm
MollyL

No, just lazy : D
7:05 pm
Dorens

it costs so much more... I am cheap about somethings and extravagant about others... i guess we each have our own fiscal policies...
7:06 pm
MollyL

I hardly ever eat out. Mostly because I like my own cooking more than restaurant fare.
7:07 pm
Dorens

that too. Well, I like a lot of restaurant fare but that stuff is really expensive and takes more time out of my busy schedule. ok. down to 40 now, the moment of truth.. is there a lickety list? soon to find out
7:07 pm

9:23 pm
jmcnrick

hmmmm must not have taken the same drugs BR
9:23 pm
Nef

hi BR, sue, jmc and sandy. Are you having nice evenings and getting through the grid?
9:25 pm
jmcnrick

i am having a nice evening anyway! haha
9:25 pm
Nef

you got the laundry done?
9:26 pm
jmcnrick

last load is drying. . .
9:26 pm
Nef

It's always so nice to finish the laundry; but then you get ready for bed and it starts all over again
9:27 pm
jmcnrick

true . . . but at least the stack is shorter
9:28 pm
Nef

very true. I keep trying to get all the clothes done for at least 12 hours; but I've never succeeded.
9:29 pm
uusue2

hi nef and jmc!
9:29 pm
jmcnrick

you have to set the last load to dry just before bed when you are already in your PJs
9:30 pm
jmcnrick

hi uu
9:30 pm
uusue2

I've hired the sister of a friend who has been organizing my entire house; she's also been doing the laundry and dishes and walking the dog. I am very happy with her!
9:30 pm
jmcnrick

how are you and frank doing?
9:31 pm
rururocks

you could try not wearing clothes Nef?
9:31 pm
Nef

WHat a great idea when your plate is as full as yours is right now, sue! Good for you!
9:31 pm
uusue2

we are ok; Frank is handling the chemo pretty well but the emotional side is still really hard
9:31 pm
jmcnrick

in the summer i could do that. . . too cold in the winter
9:32 pm
jmcnrick

it is good to have someone help so you can focus on frank a little more
9:32 pm
Nef

We are doing well, jmc. He's discovering that he's very weak; and I'm trying to get him to exercise and walk more
9:32 pm
jmcnrick

good luck with that nef. . .it is so hard to get someone started!
9:32 pm
Nef

sorry, ruru; this is Minnesota and I'd never warm up if I tried going naked! ;-)
9:34 pm
Nef

Ooops, jmc! My DH is also a Frank; not paying close enough attention to realize you were talking to sue!
9:34 pm
jmcnrick

one of the annoying thing about all that construction is that i had to wear a nighty all summer long. . .never knew when i would wake up to someone outside my second floor window
9:34 pm
jmcnrick

i was happy to hear about your DH too Nef
9:36 pm
Nef

When we were younger, I'd sleep in the buff; but now I'm just cold most of the time.
9:36 pm
jmcnrick

i am not cold in June-July and August in DC. . . usually. . . since i have no a/c
9:39 pm
Nef

It gets pretty darn muggy and hot there, doesn't it in the summer months?
9:41 pm
jmcnrick

not compared to houston where i grew up
9:42 pm
Nef

does Houston get muggy? I've been in San Antonio in late June for a convention and found that really hot and humid
9:42 pm
jmcnrick

but compared to much of the re** of the world. . .
9:42 pm
jmcnrick

houston is 80% humidy unless it is raining
9:43 pm
Nef

YUK!!!
9:43 pm
jmcnrick

haha fewer wrinkles!
9:44 pm
jmcnrick

clue for the en9/10 please
9:44 pm
Nef

I moved south for the warmer climate (from northern MN to southern MN) and when I start thinking about going farther south, DH tells me he can't tolerate the heat and reminds me I don't want bigger bugs!
9:44 pm
jmcnrick

he has a point

9:47 pm
saanichcat

9:48 pm
Nef

I probably won't finish; but it's always nice to get NBT and NBS and half way and not feel compelled to finish no matter what
9:48 pm
uusue2

I agree, nef!
9:48 pm
saanichcat

so I will lurk and continue slodding along. Hi jmc!
9:49 pm

9:53 pm
Nef

hi Min! How are you this evening?
9:54 pm
Minveryork

I'm well thank you! Gave up on the grid at 5:07 today
9:54 pm

I did go there now, sue. There is a bunch of Mercurys there! :-)

I am past halfway in the grid, Min! Hope you had a lovely day, too.
9:58 pm
stidmama

Hah. took the "math" teacher until words 114 and 115 to find the triangle measurement words... *sigh*
9:58 pm
Minveryork

I gave up stidmama, but story is in profile if you need
9:59 pm
rururocks

I don't really understand why people lurk.. chatting is the best part of this game
9:59 pm
stidmama

hey ruru!
9:59 pm
rururocks

hi stidders
9:59 pm
uusue2

angle? acute? scalene?
10:00 pm
stidmama

I don't think I am going to try to finish, Min. I have to wake up early tomorrow and get in early to the classroom to be sure I have everything ready. After a long weekend, it's anyone's guess! LOL
10:00 pm
uusue2

radian? degree?
10:00 pm
stidmama

se 6 and plural, sue. trig word
10:00 pm
uusue2

ah. thanks for putting me out of my misery :-)
10:01 pm
Minveryork

What are you teaching tomorrow stidmama? I am off the whole week for winter break. It is going quickly.
10:02 pm
Nef

thanks, stid. Where do you have your pics posted?
10:02 pm
stidmama

still 7th grade Math, Min. Starting week #6 with the same kids. About to finish another chapter, and I have plans ready for the next
10:02 pm
stidmama

website Nef my com account with my username
10:03 pm
Nef

your blog page? I didn't see any pictures there
10:04 pm
stidmama

you need to hit the "see more" button -- long posts with pics I try to remember not to load a million bytes unless someone really wants to see them
10:04 pm
stidmama

I lied. It says "continue reading" LOL
10:04 pm
Nef

ok; I'll try again
10:07 pm
Nef

NICE! Your "winging it" looks really good!
10:08 pm
stidmama

*glows with pride* thanks Nef. To be honest, my first truly "solo" attempt in years. Usually Mother and I work together, but she was busy and I really wanted to finish today!
10:08 pm
Nef

(I always loved smaller pockets inside my scrub jacket pockets for all the necessities of bedside nursing
10:09 pm
Nef

You'll get lots of good use from that vest, stid.
10:10 pm
stidmama

My regular pattern is "scrubs" They really make great wearing clothes for teaching. Particularly because they make sure things are long enough to not "flash" people if you have to bend down.
10:11 pm
Minveryork

I have to teach sixth grade Math for an after school program and I think it's very difficult to do stidmama
10:12 pm
stidmama

It can be, Min -- not all days/classes/kids are the most fun to work with, but mostly I just love it. I think I got really lucky to stumble onto this gig.
10:12 pm
Nef

I always wore a scrub jacket over a turtleneck shirt. It was so much more professional looking than just a scrub top; and the pockets were terrific
10:12 pm
stidmama

yep. turtlenecks are also warmer. And with my allergies, the less skin exposure to environmental contaminants the better.
10:13 pm
Nef

It sounds like you're gaining confidence stid! :-)
10:14 pm
Nef

(I have sensitive skin too; I'd break out from my stethescope!)
10:14 pm
stidmama

Confidence? maybe. We'll see if it's justified tomorrow. Rearranging the room will set some kids off and help others. I am hoping it helps more than it un-nerves.
10:15 pm
Nef

well, you sound definitely more sure of yourself than you sounded last week
10:16 pm
stidmama

thanks, Nef. I feel more sure. Not certain how much longer I will be needed, but I am "giving it my all" for now and we'll see what happens.
10:17 pm
stidmama

I should head out and make sure I have everything I need printed up. Back next weekend probably. Have a lovely rest of your week, all! *poof*
10:17 pm
Nef

Bye stid! Good Luck!
10:18 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log
10:18 pm
uusue2

bye stid!
10:24 pm

I'm getting lots of clues from your story, Min; thanks as usual! :-)
10:24 pm

You're welcome Nef. I wrote it at 6:00. Glad it helped
