My problem, is I love the quiet of nighttime. otoh, school is out, otooh, I'd like to start my days earlier this summer. Oh, well...
1:27 am

I, too, love the quiet...I totally understand.
1:27 am

Oh, I'm a fibro gal, too. OA and some neuropathic pain, too.

We definitely are sharing similar phases, then.
1:28 am

One summer I slept in two 4-hour shifts. I realized I loved the late night and the morning, hated midday, and slept 2-6 am and 2-6 pm. It was weirdly wonderful.
1:28 am
melonheadjujube

Sometimes I don't want to believe I have fibro. I have good and bad days, good and bad wekks, good and bad months.
1:29 am

Oddly enough, I can appreciate that!

Was to have a total hip replacement, happily got better enough to cancel, or at least postpone.

Exactly, Mel.

Would be wonderful to avoid the surgery. A friend of ours had one last summer, and he did fantastically well.
1:30 am

I bet you can appreciate. Good to know somebody understands!
1:30 am
VolleymomDee

Very nice to commiserate with someone who "gets" it.
1:30 am
melonheadjujube

It would have been awful to do it this summer. My son was hospitalized recently, followed by outpatient treatment. Would not do to have two high-maintenance situations at once.
1:31 am
VolleymomDee

Definitely good you avoided one of those situations :)
1:32 am
melonheadjujube

My hip had bothered me for months and I do have bone spurs. Still, it improved with the warm weather, both pain and range of motion. I can throw my leg over my bike which I had not been able to do for the past year. Still, I have a feeling TR is in my future.
1:33 am

Ah, 100 words. Word 100 was trigonometrical. Nice chatting with you. I'm going to hit the hay and hope it hits back! XXXOO

oh good, puglet! That is much better, shorter periods without contact for Gradyn.
3:26 am

we dont think she will take him now due to her not working (which we hope)

wouldn't that be the best of all solutions! *keeping fingers crossed*

3:32 am

but her father hasn't bothered for 5 yrs.
3:33 am

a mother who isolates a child and lets it sleep in bed with her and her lover should not be allowed to have the child at home.
3:33 am

Rose (sob) I had to pick what was best for Gradyn during a court battle over where Gradyn should love-I had to choose his father and now my sister or neice wont have anything to do with me.But Iam not sorry of what I had to do

as our nearly 13 yr old tells one and all....my father doesn't care, but I have a g/dad who I claim to be my dad

you stood up for Gradyn, puglet. Someone had to. Never be sorry for that. But it must have hurt to do so.

awwww dizgrannie... she rocks

maybe because i had an intervention order out against my first husband. yeah, diz, my kids saw my dad as their re4 dad.

pugs, i know it has been difficult for you, a rift in the family always is a bad thing. but keeping gradyn where he can go and mature at his own pace is always paramount.
3:36 am

Yes it does hurt for we were all close---I kind of understand my sister standing up for her daughter but that little boy suffered alot being with his mother and her lifestyle she chose

Ive got 5 sisters--Iam the oldest and the grandmother to Gradyn is the youngest sister and because of what I did she is taking it out on all the other sisters too.
3:43 am

that just shows that deep down she knows she is to blame, puglet. Otherwise she wouldn't have to keep everyone away.
3:43 am
puglet

its been over 2 years now and it bothers me the gap that has been put on our famly and Im not sure if I should go to her and try to talk to her or just let it go
3:44 am
puglet

she and her daughter are no longer speaking because of her daughters life
3:44 am

it does not sound like she is ready to hear you, puglet... I may be wrong of course.
3:44 am

pugs, by all means make the attempt. or you will be forever saynig to yourself, what if, or i wish i had.
3:45 am

oh wait, talk to your sister? Yeah, that would be good.
3:45 am
grannyrose

at least if you try you know that you have done all you can.
3:46 am
puglet

Iam just not sure of what to say ---For Iam not sorry going to court for Gradyn
3:47 am
sprite

perhaps something like: I had to stand up for gradyn. It didn't mean I love you any less and I still love you and I miss you.
3:48 am
grannyrose

try saying something along the lines that you understand how torn she must feel over all the situation. then ask her what she would like to see happen, to make it possible for gradyn to be safe.
3:49 am
puglet

Yes Sprite that does sound good. And good advice from you too Rose
3:49 am
grannyrose

i think validating how your sister feels would be a good start. of course she may well throw it right back at you. in that case, just walk away.
3:49 am
puglet

I have sent her a card on her Birthdays the last 2 years but nothing back
3:49 am

validating her feelings will certainly help.
3:51 am

oh, pugs, my heart goes out to you. i have a similar situation with my eldest son. he decided nearly 6 years ago that i was a persona non grata. have heard from him in all that time.

well, sometimes it is correct, rose... I have ptsd and my parents certainly are to blame. My sister ended up with borderline. A very unsafe environment in our childhood does attribute to developing some disorders.

all i can say is that it is a good thing that it is a hospital you work for and they have it all right there because i could see your recovery taking a bit and they are on the line for any out of pocket expenses.did you fill out a accident form at the time it happened for the govt compensation board?

So sorry for that, rose. My friend's mother (who is 84) spent an entire year being told the pain and inability to walk on her left leg were normal and that she would be fine. Then when she finally went to another doctor he said he could feel the screws that had come out and couldn't believe she had been this way so long. Now, 2 weeks after the second surgery, she is so much better. Going to sue the first doctor.

even though it is a clear compensation case,i can understand them wanting you at the desk if you are willing as skilled people in your position must be hard to replace with temp workers in a pinch

((ruby))
6:44 am

yes, crossy did all that. workcover are in right from the start. fortunately for me, a cl5 friend and co-worker witnessed it all. she even saw the woman mopping the plastic covering. and several of my colleagues/friends came when they heard my cries.

management claimed that the plastic couldn't have been wet...little did they know. and when they tried to blame it on my footwear, my DH, who is an occupational health and safety officer was with me. boy, did he give them what for.
6:48 am
MimiCat

Glad you had so many witnesses who were willing to speak up.
6:49 am

As if you would harm yourself on purpose!! Really.... Are you able to get around?
6:52 am

i can now mimi. i have a splint, from thigh to ankle. it is most helpful. did try last week without it. not a pretty picture.
6:52 am

always the way.they will always try to shift the blame to you as a matter of course unless you have witnesses
6:53 am

yeah, well, crossy. this time they failed to provide me with a safe work environment, and they have to admit it.

MimiCat

The stupid doctor who did the first surgery on my friend's mother wouldn't even give her pain medication! She was in agony for over a year and finally went to the new doctor. We wanted her to see someone else a long time ago but she wouldn't because she believed the other doctor when he said she was doing fine. I had to remind her what they call the guy who finishes last in medical school....doctor. They're NOT all good.
6:56 am
crosshair

always,always,always get second,third and fourth opinions
6:57 am
MimiCat

Yes, crossy, absolutely. I'm always amazed when someone will see, for example, a neurosurgeon for the first time and is told he wants to "cut into your brain" and that person just agrees to do it!! I'd need many more opinions for anything that serious.
6:58 am
crosshair

we did that with the wifes eye disease.we were stagnating with a certain specialist and what we did was go back down the chain,had a few of the earlier doctors re-examine her then move her to another specialist
6:59 am
grannyrose

you know, crossy? this time i am so comfortable about this. i absolute faith in my return-to-work officer. she is si middle of the road. she does what is right by the company, and does what is right by the worker. she was the one who talked management into allowing me a graduated return after my total replacement.
6:59 am
crosshair

it is a matter of trust,mimi.we trust our doctors as learnered people with all the answers but sometimes they do not have them.they are human just like the rest of us and we must be involved in our own care as well
7:00 am
MimiCat

The new dr. who finally did fix the hip said he couldn't believe she had been suffering so long. Now, 2 weeks after surgery, she's doing physical therapy and is up and about and not in pain....a year out of her life just wasted.....lawsuit!!
7:00 am
crosshair

i am so glad you have a good worker,rose
7:01 am
MimiCat

Yes, so right, crossy. We must be proactive in our own care and not hesitate to make changes when needed.
7:01 am
grannyrose

mimi, that is so awful. how can surgeons get away with that? they are NOT gods, they are human, just like the rest of us. they DO make mistakes.
7:01 am
crosshair

well,i have been through lawsuits.they knock the stuffing right out of you,even if you are in the right.depending on how deep the pockets are on the other side,they can drag it on for years,just to wait for you to run out of money or give up
7:02 am

The lawyers I'm interviewing for her work on contingency so they don't get paid unless they win. She couldn't afford it otherwise.
7:02 am

i had one that dragged on for the maximum limit for the type of case.5 years and i finally just settled because it was eating up my life
7:03 am
grannyrose

crossy, over here, we have no-win, no-payment law firms.
7:03 am
crosshair

that is good if you can get the no win-no pay set up
7:04 am
MimiCat

The lawyer on my Social Security lawsuit also works that way. Am so hoping I'll get it settled either the end of this year or very beginning of next. He gets 25% but does all the work and this one does only Social Security cases and has been in business for over a decade with an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau and no complaints against the firm....I do my homework!
7:05 am
crosshair

things have changed no.i see you can get advances on your potential settlements in cut and dried cases now
7:05 am
crosshair

25% one time fee or 25% out of each and every monthly cheque?
7:06 am
MimiCat

25% of the total and I get all the money at once.
7:06 am
crosshair

ahh ok.got you
7:08 am
MimiCat

If I win, they must give me all the back money from last year...will be around $15,000. I'll use some of it, of course, but plan to put most in a high-interest account as my nest egg.
7:08 am

Sounds like a great plan, crossy. I get my first early retirement check next month but it isn't much until my ex reaches 62 (in a year and a half) at which time I'll get more. But still not enough to live comfortably. Your suggestion sounds like the perfect thing to do. Thanks, my friend.

7:17 am
MimiCat

I'm very lucky that I have such low overhead. I have NO credit card debt, no car payments or expenses and only rent, utilities and food (and I get food assistance due to the heart attack). I can live on much less than many people since long ago I recognized the difference between "need" and "want."

it is best to phone your banks head office first.thats what i did and they are sending me the forms so i can have them ready when i go into my local branch
7:17 am
crosshair

you are a smart woman,mimi
7:18 am
MimiCat

Does that type of account also keep you from paying high taxes on the money, crossy?
7:18 am

just google your bank online and get the head office toll free number

It has been a tough road these past couple of years with no income and relying on family and friends. But even so I feel lucky to have the things I do and very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life who care about me and are willing to help. To me, those relationships are what life is all about. I used to have a lot of money when I was married but I am truly happier now....attitude is everything.

7:24 am

I believe reality is subjective....you can choose to look at what you DO have or choose to look at what you DON'T have and there's just no point focusing on the negative. By focusing on all I do have I'm always in a grateful frame of mind and happier.
7:24 am

mimi, so happy that you are happy. sometimes when our lives are turned a over t, it is for the best. and it seems to me, that you are in the better of best, hun

but i had a attitude adjustment lol
7:28 am
MimiCat

Yes, crossy, it seems the more money you make, the more you spend and it seemingly never ends. In any case, I believe we are here to improve our spirits first and foremost. After all, that's all you're taking with you when you go! In my belief system, if you don't do the spirit work now, you'll just have to keep coming back until you do.
7:28 am

We are older and wiser, crossy, which is SO much better than just being older!

nice one, crossy
7:34 am
crosshair

like i have said be fore.cancer is a curse,but oddly enough it is a blessing.it narrows the focus of your life.you toss everything trivial or meaningless in your life over the side because you simply do not have the time or energy to deal with crap like that.it boils down to tearing the cancer out of your body and your loved ones.simple.then when all is done and you have gotten rid of the cancer that was holding you back,you look at the trivial shit that you used to sweat blood over and just shake your head and move on
7:34 am
MimiCat

Some people may not understand but things like that can be a gift insofar as they do provide insight and an attitude of gratitude.

Hello again, all. Just got back from getting the mail and am sitting in front of my big fan cooling off. Netflix movie "Django Unchained" was in the box so will be watching that today...adore Jamie Foxx. Also having chicken spaghetti for breakfast....yes, I know I'm weird!
8:10 am

mimi, that movie can be hard to watch at times, but wow, is it good!

Speaking of good movies (as we often do). I watched "Behind the Candleabra" on HBO not too long ago. It was tremendous. I highly recommend it. Everyone in it is amazing.
8:13 am

is that the one about Liberace?
8:14 am
MimiCat

Looking forward to seeing Michael Douglas as Liberace...who would have thought to cast him?!
8:14 am
Trifioso

hmmm. not so much a crying movie, actually, mimi....very violent. I assume you are familiar with Tarantino's style?
8:14 am
periwinkle

was not planning on seeing it
8:14 am
Judi

Yes, Peri.
8:14 am
periwinkle

if I see that it is on I will take a peek at it
8:14 am
Trifioso

I agree, that movie does look good. I don't have HBO, but Valentine does....
8:15 am
MimiCat

Oh, yes, Trif...not a big fan. But oddly enough, I really liked the Kill Bill movies....don't know exactly why as I also am not crazy about Uma Thurman.
8:15 am
periwinkle

I only watched #1 of kill bill. too much violence in the 2nd one
8:15 am
MimiCat

I no longer have cable but will get it from Netflix when it's released.
8:15 am
Judi

I think the Liberace movie was made for theater release, based on the huge stars who are in it. However, I think it's just a little too 'gay" for mainstream audiences. No offense to anyone. Just saying I don't think Hollywood wanted to risk it.
8:16 am
MimiCat

It's almost like Tarantino is trying to be the next David Lynch....and ONE of those was certainly enough...or too much!
8:16 am
Trifioso

when primo was getting his eagle scout badge, he made a list of people for me to write to, hoping they would write back. Quentin Tarantino was on the list, and we received a LOVELY, very respectful reply from his assistant, saying Quentin was out of the country, but congratulations.....
8:17 am
Trifioso

interesting, Judi....I wonder.....
8:18 am
MimiCat

Well, I'm impressed, Trif....I just love when celebs are kind. I have renewed respect for him!
8:19 am
Trifioso

I was impressed to. And later, of course, we put together that the movie he was prepping was Django
8:19 am
MimiCat

Even though I'm sure he didn't personally send it, at least his assistant is instructed to do so.
8:21 am
MimiCat

There are just some people I automatically will watch in movies and Jamie Foxx is one of them. But I love when he plays music even more...wish I could have access to that talent as well.
8:21 am

I'm weird that way....like burned potato chips and french fries, toast...want the bacon to break and be crispy. Hey, whatever we enjoy, right?!

1:30 pm

I have never seen a cat lick another cats butt...not that i want to either..just saying.

I ADORE bubble and squeak, Kate! We have a place here that makes a really good one and it's just a couple of blocks away from me.
1:31 pm
MimiCat

LOL, Molly.
1:31 pm
crosshair

we can focus on bubble and squeak instead
1:31 pm
MimiCat

Crossy, do you drain the bacon a bit while cooking in the oven or just let it cook in the grease?
1:32 pm
TraderKate

surprised you have bubble and squeak ihn your corner of the world mimi... do they also do bangers and mash?
1:32 pm
crosshair

i do it stove top more often than not and never drain it till it is done
1:32 pm
MollyL

If I cook bacon in the oven I put it on a wire rack.
1:33 pm
MimiCat

Yep...it's an English style pub place and they have all that stuff. Yummy fish and chips.
1:33 pm
crosshair

mmmm.now i am hungry again
1:33 pm
MimiCat

I don't have a rack, crossy...seems that husband got it in the divorce (don't even ask). Think I should drain it a bit? It's really swimming in it.
1:34 pm
TraderKate

<----- going to visit mimi during the winter, just for some good pub grub :)
1:34 pm
crosshair

drain of 50% of it
1:34 pm
crosshair

off
1:34 pm
MimiCat

I save glass containers to pour the grease in, chill in fridge and then throw away. My mother used to cook lots of things in bacon grease but I can't get behind that idea.

1:38 pm
crosshair

howdy,aloy
1:38 pm
MimiCat

OK---just drained some. Good idea about using for potatoes, crossy. Yeah, I know it isn't "good" for us but my father ate fried eggs cooked in bacon grease and 6 strips of bacon every morning of his life for nearly 70 years....he was healthy but the smoking finally killed him. He started smoking again after having quit for 20 years and developed mesothelioma due to his asbestos exposure when he was working.
1:38 pm
Aloyisius

good to pair that soup with a BLT
1:39 pm

1:39 pm

Do any of you have Marie Callender's restaurants in your area? They have the BEST potato cheese soup served with honey butter cornbread. OK....now my salivary glands are getting totally out of control...

I'm with you there, crossy. When my kids were growing up and starting asking about death here is what I told them: "When it is your turn to go, God knows where to find you. If it's not your turn, no way are you leaving. So don't worry about it because control is an illusion."
1:48 pm

I have been using IE for years with no apparent problems except for today when I wanted to order something from a company and did not see the lock icon. I did not feel the site was secure. I contacted the company and they said other people with IE had said the same thing and that there site was indeed secure

in California.. horrible
9:41 pm
lilliann

definitely not then and deserverved everything he got.so how did he die in jail? was it the death sentence?
9:42 pm
rururocks

natural causes the article says.
9:42 pm
rururocks

he murdered a lot of people.. very scary person
9:42 pm
lilliann

how old was he ru and was he in death row?
9:43 pm
rururocks

53
9:43 pm
rururocks

he was on death row.. not that that means ANYTHING in california as these guys never are put to death
9:44 pm
lilliann

is there a film about him as the name 'night stalker' is familiar
9:44 pm
rururocks

he killed an 8 year old girl..... could be the same.. there was a TV movie on him
9:45 pm
lilliann

mmm, i think i watched a film about him and recently
9:46 pm
penquis

there used to be a tv show called the Nightstalker...but not about him....
9:46 pm
lilliann

i don't think we ever had a series called that pen
9:47 pm
scrambler

the guy was evil incarnate
9:47 pm
lilliann

but i do remember a film, not long ago about a young girl murdered and that name but it was an american channel on british tv
9:48 pm
lilliann

i don't understand death row...how long are these people on death row?
9:48 pm
scrambler

Killed somewhere around 20 people
9:49 pm
lilliann

so he was a serial killer
9:50 pm
rururocks

he's been in for at least 25 years or more
9:51 pm
scrambler

yes!
9:51 pm
stidmama

since 1985, ruru... hey all
9:51 pm
rururocks

I remember being afraid to walk around SF when he was loose
9:51 pm
scrambler

hey stid
9:52 pm
lilliann

so, i take it in california, it's the death penalty?
9:52 pm
rururocks

we had a period where the death penalty was eliminated
9:52 pm
rururocks

Sometimes being a liberal state has distinct disadvantages
9:52 pm
lilliann

i don't understand why these people are still in prison when they have been given the death penalty
9:53 pm
rururocks

appeals and delays from their attorneys and courts
9:53 pm
stidmama

because in the united states there is a series of appeals that can be used ... and even so on occasion an innocent person is put to death.
9:53 pm
rururocks

he should have been put to death decades ago
9:53 pm
MollyL

Oops...gotta go...night all
9:53 pm
lilliann

we don't have the death penalty anymore which is great for the people that have been wrongly accused but for the people that have done horrific murders?
9:53 pm
rururocks

this guy was clearly not innocent stid
9:54 pm
rururocks

bye molly
9:54 pm
lilliann

you never say that molly.night and tc :)
9:55 pm
stidmama

didn't say he was, ruru -- just that our legal process attempts to provide a way for a person found guilty in error to exonerate themselves
9:56 pm
lilliann

hi stid
9:56 pm
rururocks

like OJ Simpson?
9:56 pm
scrambler

night molls
9:56 pm
rururocks

he's been looking for the killers for years on the golf course
9:56 pm
lilliann

so how long from the time that they are given the death penalty to when it actually happens?
9:57 pm
stidmama

like these, ruru : http://www.innocenceproject.org/know/
9:57 pm
rururocks

varies lillian
9:57 pm
rururocks

in Texas them move them along
9:57 pm
lilliann

a year longer?
9:57 pm
rururocks

In California..they die in prison from old ages
9:57 pm
lilliann

so, basically a long time
9:58 pm
rururocks

yup
9:58 pm
rururocks

I think that if someone was put in jail and the DA or prosecutor knew they were innocent.. the DA and the Prosecutor should spend time in jail
9:58 pm
stidmama

...and a higher percentage of people of color are both convicted and sentenced to death than the proportion of people of color in the population at large.
9:59 pm
rururocks

but.. so many horrible killers are allowed to go on and on.. it's really disheartening
10:00 pm
rururocks

like RIchard Davis, Charles Manson, etc
10:01 pm
rururocks

OJ Simpson
10:01 pm
stidmama

I think life in prison is pretty horrible... but it's easier to say I am sorry to someone who is still alive than someone who was executed in error. And even with all our protections and supposed scientific knowledge there are errors. While I don't think this man was innocent, I think even one innocent person being killed for another person's crime is too many.
10:02 pm
rururocks

I don't think it happens all that often stid does it?
10:06 pm
lilliann

the problem is that so many people are put in prison when they're not guilty but there are more that are, and they deserved to be in prison
10:07 pm
stidmama

again, ruru -- is even ONE innocent person killed in error acceptable to you? It is not, to me. I think that we have relied all too often on "eyewitness" testimony that later turns out to be flawed (at best) and lies (too often). http://tinyurl.com/muvg76g
10:08 pm
lilliann

i know of people who have committed a crime so that they can go back to prison so thay can take exams and come out with a certifucate
10:09 pm
rururocks

no it's not acceptable for anyone stid... but there needs to be changes in the system for criminals who have indisputable evidence against them and have admitted their guilt
10:11 pm
stidmama

I agree, ruru -- people who have admitted their guilt (though a couple people have done so when innocent!) sometimes have to fight their own lawyers to stop appeals!
10:12 pm
stidmama

lilliann, in the United States at least that would be a poor choice because convicted felons have a multitude of career paths that are permanently closed to them.
10:13 pm
stidmama

In general, it seems, the process in the court system takes a long time. I don't know, however, how to best speed it up. When Trayvon Martin was killed, it was January 2012. now it is June 2013 and the accused shooter is only now going to trial in the first place.
10:16 pm
rururocks

the trayvon martin thing is a little sketchier than a Charles Manson thing to me
10:16 pm
lilliann

this is a hard subject as majority of these people in prison are guilty of something and alot of murder whether justified or not...i don't agree with the death sentence, well maybe in some cases but it's how to prove and the law has so many loop holes that so many people get away with murder
10:17 pm
lilliann

i'll have to google trayvon
10:17 pm
rururocks

there are no simple answers to the prison system in America at least
10:18 pm
stidmama

Charles Manson was a case of a spectacular, highly publicized, and publicly admitted awful set of murders. But most murders are not so cut-and-dried; and yet we (the collective set of humans) want quick and final answers. We are perhaps too eager to find "closure" when it would be better to seek facts.
10:18 pm
rururocks

I used to be against the Death Penalty.. until a lot of criminals were allowed to walk and commit more crimes and kill more people.. it seems easier to me to take these horrible people out of circulation
10:20 pm
stidmama

Life in Prison is not easy and would keep dangerous people off the streets. And while some innocent people might be placed in life in prison, we could still apologize and offer some compensation if different evidence came to light that exonerated them.
10:26 pm
rururocks

the process of getting innocent people out of prison has increased in the last two decades.. with the advent of DNA.. and other high profile tools of the police.. I'm not really talking about the common criminals who are incarcerated
10:26 pm
lilliann

apparently there will be 500 potential jurors on the case of Travyon Martin on june the 10th
10:30 pm
rururocks

we had a similar case here where a young black man was killed by an overeager cop.. at a Bart Station.. pretty horrible too
10:32 pm
stidmama

anyway, I am definitely not going to even make it to halfway on this tonight... *sigh* I think I need some wine. And maybe I should make myself some pudding. If I have cornstarch...
10:33 pm
stidmama

hm. I have everything I need for banana cr5 pie except pie crust fixin's. I could make banana pudding!
10:33 pm
stidmama

which I know is a complete non sequitur....
10:34 pm
stidmama

I have riesling, would that go with banana cr5 pie?
10:34 pm
rururocks

yes.. unless it is a kabinett
10:35 pm
rururocks

spatlese or auslese would be good with pie
10:35 pm
rururocks

I made a berry tart today
10:35 pm
rururocks

I shouldn't have though
10:37 pm
lilliann

throwing toffee popcorn at ru for some berry tart:D
10:37 pm
lilliann

why not ru?
10:37 pm
rururocks

well.. cuz i'm trying to lose weight and we had all these berries.. and I shouldn't make sweets..it starts a binge :D
10:37 pm
lilliann

my tastes have certainly changed over the years as i now hate toffee popcorn...far too sickly!!!
10:38 pm
rururocks

I can't stand popcorn
10:38 pm
lilliann

i freeze my berries and then juice them
10:38 pm
lilliann

so do i now :)
10:39 pm
rururocks

i'm out for some fresh air.. thank you for your help molly and lillian
10:39 pm
lilliann

i don't eat sweets but i do like a 70% CHOCOLATE
10:40 pm
lilliann

oops..lol bye ru tc hin
10:42 pm
stidmama

mmm. berry tart...
10:42 pm
stidmama

later ruru...
10:42 pm
stidmama

lilliann -- does "the bairn" get out of school for summer soon? (Tom brought the riesling -- without prompting -- and choclits, so I will make the pudding another day)
10:43 pm
lilliann

mid july stid for 6 weeks
10:43 pm
lilliann

hopefully we'll catch up with hubby by then :)
10:44 pm
stidmama

oh, that's a while to wait -- are you in year-round schooling there? or do you have most of September off as well as August?
10:45 pm
lilliann

it's from late july til early september here. 6 weeks holiday
10:46 pm
stidmama

I ask, because in the U.S. it is -normal- to have off June through August, about 9-10 weeks.
10:46 pm
jesdraggon

evening
10:46 pm
lilliann

then we have holidays in between, like 2 weeks christmas and then other holidays
10:47 pm
lilliann

our schools have 6 weeks but our universities have about 10 weeks
10:48 pm
lilliann

our univiversties start late september early october
10:48 pm
stidmama

interesting. I wonder if the shorter interval between terms helps the younger students.
10:48 pm
stidmama

hey jes! (((hugs))) did you find a home for your new little guy?
10:49 pm
lilliann

i wouldn't know stid.what year do youn teach or want to teach?
10:49 pm
lilliann

hi jes
10:49 pm
stidmama

colleges here usually start either in mid-August or late September. I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason for that.
10:49 pm
jesdraggon

nope. i've actually had an influx of wildlife instead of offloading anything
10:49 pm
MimiCat

Here in Arizona we have some year-round schools. They get 4 breaks throughout the year. I liked that better.
10:50 pm
stidmama

I am qualified to teach various things at all ages, actually -- mostly around literacy. But what I would like to teach are the younger teens -- it's a tricky developmental stage, but it's interesting.
10:51 pm
stidmama

I think I would prefer a year-round schedule, actually; except that a longer summer break does allow for some additional professional development opportunities.
10:51 pm
stidmama

oh boy, jes -- spring babies?
10:52 pm
MimiCat

I think year-round is better because there's not such a long summer break so the kids don't forget things as easily. It just seemed better for mine to have several shorter breaks.
10:52 pm
lilliann

let me know on here stid as i know some teachers but there are primary school but you could get in touch with them and talk about the differences and it would be good for children to interact.or i could contact my daughter's school which is 12 onwards and that would be good for them to get in contact with other children and teachers
10:53 pm
MimiCat

Jes, bless you for being there to help the wildlife. I used to do that when I was younger and had a house. I even raised a baby hummingbird!
10:53 pm
lilliann

hi mimi :)
10:53 pm
jesdraggon

2 are - orphan raccoons. 1 dog-chewed turtle, 1 evening grossbeak (euthanized; dislocated shoulder), 1 pine siskin with conjunctivitis - might do okay? current internal debate is that the most likely cause is something that can't be cleared, so even if she does well it's questionable whether i should release her potentially carrying her disease with her... and a broken legged moose calf that we euthanized because no realistic way to treat the fracture she had.
10:54 pm
stidmama

thanks lilliann -- I will let you know when I have a classroom! I have wanted to try something like that! kids really get a lot out of sharing with peers around the world.
10:54 pm
MimiCat

((lilliann))
10:54 pm
lilliann

mimi, you really need to write your book as i'm gagging to read it or them as there will probably be multiple :)
10:54 pm
stidmama

poor little critters, jes... I am sorry about the euthanizations.
10:55 pm
MimiCat

LOL, lil....I'm working on it!
10:55 pm
stidmama

mimi -- what age did you tech?
10:55 pm
stidmama

or teach? LOL I think the riesling is getting to my figners.
10:55 pm
jesdraggon

one of the issues with doing wildlife - in large part, by the time they can e caught, they are so ill it's hard to do anything for them
10:55 pm
lilliann

well mimi, GET OFF HERE AND GO TO WORK GIRL!! :)
10:55 pm
MimiCat

Oh, I didn't teach, stid...was just talking about my children's school days. Always wanted to teach, though...maybe still one day.
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Hi all! I'm just checking back in to see if clues are needed.
10:56 pm
stidmama

oh! :-) LOL
10:56 pm
stidmama

hey min! welcome to the grid!
10:56 pm
lilliann

100 min and hi :)
10:57 pm
MimiCat

Jes, it's always difficult working with animals. In the zoos, wildlife park and primate center where I worked my heart was broken on a regular basis. But it's easier for me in a way since I believe animals do have souls that go on.
10:57 pm
penquis

never did get a clue for the first qu 8/55....
10:57 pm
MimiCat

Hi, Min!
10:57 pm
lilliann

i need to go to lurkdom...bye for now all
10:57 pm
MimiCat

Will see you later, lilliann...thanks for the encouragement about the book!
10:58 pm
penquis

bye
10:58 pm
stidmama

one of the things I loved about homeschooling, mimi, was that we took breaks when the kids really seemed to need it (a week or two) and then back again to deliberate learning... they didn't lose much during the breaks, and learning felt "seamless"
10:58 pm
Minveryork

Me neither penquis which is why I still don't have that word
10:58 pm
stidmama

bye lilliann -- ((hugs)) see you next time
10:59 pm
penquis

ah well.....it was worth a shot... ;o)
10:59 pm
jesdraggon

i have a qu8/55 that is plural of qu7/50
10:59 pm
MimiCat

I got that one earlier from a clue (can't remember who gave it) but it's complicated and I don't remember it. Want me to muddle through and try anyway?
11:00 pm
stidmama

I have that one, too -- not sure where it falls in the order of things, though
11:00 pm
penquis

thanks, jes, but I have that one...it's the first one i need....
11:01 pm
jesdraggon

i haven't listed, so not sure how many of what are where, sorry.
11:01 pm
stidmama

qu "5" in latin, then short for **ie in wonderland
11:01 pm
stidmama

and plural
11:02 pm
lilliann

jes, that is such a tough job you have my bairn wants to work with animals and she is 13nearly14 but i don't know what to tell her what she should do. i have told her that she should go to college and get some understanding of animals as she wants to work with all animals at the moment but she doesn't want to be a vet..sorry
11:02 pm
lilliann

i haven't gone stid, i'm trying to finish the grid but will pinch clues in hiding :)
11:03 pm
stidmama

LOL "lurker lil?"
11:03 pm
lilliann

i did say i'm going to lurkdom stid :)
11:03 pm
Minveryork

I gave up on grid at 5:05 so I am useless. I leave you with a story of clues in my profile.Goodnite babblers! See ya later
11:04 pm
MimiCat

Being a vet is difficult because the animals are never happy to see you! But being an animal caretaker is very rewarding and only requires some knowledge of species-specific behaviors. However, there really is NO money in working as a caretaker...it's truly a labor of love.
11:04 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams min
11:04 pm
MimiCat

She should take zoology and anthropology courses.
11:04 pm
lilliann

she doesn't6 want to put them to sleep
11:04 pm
jesdraggon

g'night, min
11:05 pm
lilliann

that's why she doesn't want to be a vet
11:05 pm
penquis

working on it....
11:05 pm
lilliann

goodnight min, sweet dreams and tc
11:06 pm
MimiCat

That is part of any job working with animals, lil, unfortunately. I lost a baby orangutan once to meningitis and it nearly killed me as well since I was "mom" to her.
11:06 pm
penquis

**ie in Wonderland??
11:06 pm
jesdraggon

**ice in wonderland, pen
11:07 pm
stidmama

**ice in wonderland, sorry -- warned you I have issues with my figners!
11:07 pm
penquis

oh...well i already have that qu word then...
11:07 pm
lilliann

i know that mimi, apart from the orangutan but tell that to a 13 yr old
11:07 pm
penquis

it's the other one i need...
11:07 pm
lilliann

mimi, please hurry ap and write your books. i really want to read them
11:08 pm
MimiCat

Most things we must learn for ourselves, lil. Couldn't tell me anything either at that age!
11:08 pm
lilliann

i need to finish this grid so i'm not being rude but bfn
11:08 pm
stidmama

yes, more books!
11:08 pm
penquis

perhaps your daughter should see if she can volunteer in a place that works with animals...my niece did that at about the same age....led to her going to veterinary school....
11:08 pm
MimiCat

I'm taking a new approach to writing now. Instead of trying to write in chronological order, I'm just writing anything and everything that comes to mind and will put it together later.
11:09 pm
lilliann

am back. really pen at 13?
11:09 pm
MimiCat

Fortunately, anything I've forgotten my best friend of 44 years will remember!
11:10 pm
stidmama

an interesting idea, mini
11:10 pm
stidmama

mimi, I mean.
11:10 pm
penquis

she may have been 14...but she worked an afternoon after school every week...
11:10 pm
stidmama

drat. dumb tired brain
11:10 pm
lilliann

at the moment , she wants to walk dogs in the summer hols
11:10 pm
penquis

i know some kids here have done that at a farm that has horses....and they were middle schoolers.....12 to 14....
11:10 pm
MimiCat

Humane societies and many zoos will allow kids of that age to work there as volunteers.
11:10 pm
lilliann

i'm going back to grid as i need 100 in 50 minutes
11:11 pm
penquis

walking dogs is a good job for a kid her age
11:11 pm
penquis

np...see you later...
11:11 pm
MimiCat

I like the mini, stid...makes me feel thinner!
11:11 pm
penquis

i am going to bed.....perhaps i will check the archives tomorrow and find out what that darn q word was...
11:11 pm
stidmama

I finally passed halfway.
11:11 pm
penquis

goodnight all....
11:11 pm
MimiCat

She could also put an ad in the local paper to care for pets while people are away on vacation and make a little extra money.
11:12 pm
MimiCat

Night, pen.
11:12 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams penquis
11:12 pm
jesdraggon

sleep sweet, penquis
11:12 pm
lilliann

mm, given me an idea, we have a locval farm here which has sheep rabbits,guinea pigs, chicks to hold and sheep and goats to feed and other animalas.maybe they may take her on
11:12 pm
lilliann

bye pen, tc hin
11:13 pm
MimiCat

They probably would, lil...in any case, doesn't hurt to try.
11:13 pm
lilliann

she was going to put an ad in the paper to walk dogs mimi
11:14 pm
MimiCat

Pretty much anywhere that raises animals is always short-handed and would welcome the help.
11:14 pm
lilliann

they are busy in the summer and she would do it for nowt
11:14 pm
lilliann

i'll phone them in the morning to ask
11:15 pm
MimiCat

If she ever wants to ask me anything about animal behavior or caring for different types of animals, I'm happy to email with her, lil. My em is in my profile.
11:17 pm
lilliann

tyvm mimi. i've written it down for her
11:18 pm
MimiCat

I'm really tired, so quitting for tonight. See everyone tomorrow. Hugs all around.
11:18 pm

sweet dreams also mimi see you next time
11:19 pm

the sunlight is coming in throught he blinds now :)
11:21 pm
stidmama

hm. good morning, lillian!?? LOL my son will be meeting my great-uncle today for his 100th birthday celebration... we have never met the gentleman, but my son's trip to Europe happened at an opportune moment in time.
11:22 pm
lilliann

how lovely for him stid.where in europe?
11:23 pm
lilliann

it's my birthdya on monday but i'm not 100
11:23 pm
stidmama

he visited friends in West Asia (Georgia) now he is in Germany
11:23 pm
lilliann

omg, i just re-read 100!!
11:24 pm
stidmama

oooh. happy birthday, lilliann!!! 25 again!!!!! *starts lighting candles, 25 for each year we are "skipping"
11:24 pm
stidmama

LOL
11:24 pm
stidmama

yes, he was my grandmother's little brother.
11:24 pm
lilliann

no, i will be 21 :D
11:25 pm
lilliann

my nan will be 97 this year, but she doesn't remember any of us
11:25 pm
stidmama

:-) such a bairn yourself!
11:26 pm
lilliann

lol :)
11:27 pm
stidmama

I am sorry your grandmother doesn't remember.
11:27 pm
stidmama

My grandmothers were fading at the end, but they knew who loved them up to the end. Our family was lucky.
11:29 pm
lilliann

me too but i'm use to it as when iwas 16 i worked in a pyschiatric hospil and then went on to work in old peoples homes and then people with severe behavourial problems, so i'm used to it, but it is different whn it is your own family memmber
11:30 pm
stidmama

yes, it would be different, and perhaps like parenting as opposed to teaching, harder in a lot of ways. No emotional buffer when it's your own family.
11:30 pm
lilliann

sorry for bad spelling but it is 5.30am and i'm tired
11:30 pm
jesdraggon

nbt
11:30 pm
stidmama

have you been up all night?
11:30 pm
stidmama

11:31 pm
lilliann

11:31 pm
jesdraggon

no, appaloosa is a breed. cremola is not breed specific, just a color - an almost white horse.
