12:37 am

moonwoof

maybe... but I have been touched by the noodly appendage and blessed with a vision of the best way. The Great ragu, himself, has told us Pasta is the Way

12:37 am

gapeach

Besides, we can get stiddie to put plenty of, you know what, in there.

12:37 am

TraderKate

that's a very good show jill, glad you enjoyedit so much. i got cught up in criminal minds here

12:37 am

moonwoof

Our Pasta, who "Arghh" in the colander, Swallowed be thy sauce. Thy serving come, Thy strands be wrung, On forks as they are on spoons. Give us this day our garlic bread, And forgive us our starchiness,

12:38 am

moonwoof

As we swashbuckle, splice the main-brace and cuss, And lead us not into Kraft parmessan, But deliver us from Chef Boy-Ar-Dee, For thine are Meatballs, and the beer, and the strippers, for ever and ever. R'Amen.

12:38 am

TraderKate

ROFL moon! is the great meatball a lesser god in your religion? what about the great consort parm/romano???

12:39 am

moonwoof

Amusingly, not mine. Altho Pastafarianism *is* actually a religion, of sorts.

12:39 am

TraderKate

that's a scream moon!!!! imust poach it and use it somewhere....

12:39 am

moonwoof

And yea... they have all kinds of amusing stuff like that.

12:57 am

rururocks

where do you get apricots this time of year granny?

12:57 am

jillibus

good clue, Kate!

12:58 am

grannyrose

12:58 am

rururocks

12:58 am

rururocks

no fancy smanchy nectar

12:58 am

jillibus

nbt/nbs

12:58 am

TraderKate

ty jill, unfortunately, it is rather esoteric.. only OLD CANUCK figure skating junkies are likely to get it...

12:59 am

moonwoof

more screwed up is fl7/56... gech i hate the dictionary here bunches

12:59 am

jillibus

I had halibut for dinner, with asparagus and mash

12:59 am

TraderKate

tinned apricots would stand in well ruru...

12:59 am

grannyrose

i mix a packet of dried french onion soup with apricot nectar, pour it over the chicken, by yhe time the chicken if cooked, it is sitting in a pool of ready-made gravy.

12:59 am

moonwoof

I did it with marmelade a cpl of weeks ago over a fire... jellies work just as smancy ^^

1:00 am

jillibus

1:00 am

rururocks

*note to self.. . please start calling moonwoof "lady marmalade "

1:01 am

moonwoof

1:01 am

TraderKate

1:01 am

moonwoof

1:01 am

moonwoof

1:01 am

jillibus

lots of good recipes make too much for one person

1:01 am

grannyrose

kate, you have to try it. the 2 flavours mingled with the chicken, to die for.

1:01 am

moonwoof

I'll let you after I start canning stuff ^^

1:01 am

rururocks

I roasted a chicken with herbs and lemon.. i"m so outdated

1:02 am

moonwoof

I thought that too, jilli, until I learned how to package right for longer freezing

1:02 am

TraderKate

sounds good to me ruru... lemon's still a fruit :)

1:02 am

grannyrose

ruru, i love chicken cooked like that, too

1:02 am

grannyrose

*shrug* but then again i love chicken..full stop

1:03 am

1:04 am

jillibus

hi pug

1:04 am

rururocks

we have two meyer lemon trees in the back yard

1:04 am

moonwoof

right. also portioning and boil bags... means I can make a *ton* more stuff now that I can package for single meals

1:04 am

grannyrose

actually i have 2 x fl7

1:04 am

rururocks

they're great

1:05 am

moonwoof

I already found it... I just think that's a dumb way to say it lol ty tho rose!

1:05 am

grannyrose

ruru, do you make your own lemonade, like they served on our cruise ship. 'cos i really would love that recipe.

1:05 am

puglet

We had chicken too--cooked in ketchup and sodapop

1:05 am

moonwoof

oh. unless you meant the 2nd fl7 that I just found.

1:05 am

TraderKate

i've heard of those! we only get "garden variety" boring lemons up here... exce[pt maybe in wholefoods...

1:06 am

moonwoof

That one is a much more normal word, imo

1:06 am

grannyrose

ohhh, pugs that sounds different

1:06 am

TraderKate

hi puglet :)

1:06 am

rururocks

they're sweet and flavorful

1:06 am

rururocks

the best lemons

1:06 am

grannyrose

woof, the dead person in the wa5?

1:07 am

TraderKate

ewwwww pug! with alphagetti on the side?

1:07 am

moonwoof

lol sure was lol he was a fl7!

1:07 am

puglet

taste kinda like bQ and its really tender

1:07 am

rururocks

soda pop?

1:08 am

moonwoof

But there's also an fl7 for more screwed up off of the fl4/11

1:08 am

grannyrose

this will make you giggle, over he4, we have a dish called a south australian fl7, it's a meat pie, fl5ing in a bowl of split pea soup.

1:08 am

TraderKate

<-----just realised there are 2 possible fl starts....

1:08 am

moonwoof

oh... and yet another that sounds like a small british apartment

1:09 am

grannyrose

so that's fl7 x 2, peeps

1:09 am

TraderKate

i could eat that granny :)

1:09 am

puglet

yep! mix sodapop(like coke) with equall amount of ketchup-enought to cover meat and let it cook really slow

1:09 am

moonwoof

so fl7 x3

1:09 am

grannyrose

duh, thanx woof, i hit 3 and 2 came up. lol

1:10 am

rururocks

molly had a recipe with coke..

1:10 am

moonwoof

np ^^

1:10 am

rururocks

I can't imagine

1:10 am

moonwoof

It's surprisingly good, actually. I thought I would hate the soda chickens

1:11 am

TraderKate

the acid in the coke would act as a suuper tenderiser... after all it can take the rust off the bumper of a car...

1:11 am

moonwoof

I dont prefer it for the preservatives, myself, but it's tasty and juicy

1:11 am

rururocks

wow

1:11 am

TraderKate

maybe with barbecue sauce instead of ketchup....

1:12 am

rururocks

yea

1:12 am

jillibus

coke and ketchup sounds too sweet for my liking

1:12 am

rururocks

I can see the sugary flavors if you balance it with heat

1:12 am

TraderKate

and apricot nectar instead of coke, lol...

1:12 am

rururocks

better to cook with coke than snort it .. believe me

1:13 am

rururocks

:D

1:13 am

grannyrose

yeah, the bubbles will burn your nose lining

1:13 am

TraderKate

the coke and bbq sauce, would probably be good... somehting like a beercan chicken....

1:13 am

jillibus

Sems to me Americans have more of a sweet tooth than Canadians.

1:13 am

moonwoof

nice. Just almost made me snort my tea thinking "coke rub"

1:14 am

rururocks

I'm sure Keith RIchard had those moon

1:14 am

rururocks

:D

1:14 am

moonwoof

lol

1:14 am

TraderKate

at least with their meats jill? maybe more of a southern barbecue kind of history..

1:15 am

rururocks

*dart? Have we done something to offend you?

1:15 am

TraderKate

moon.... you snort the coke NOT the tea!!!

1:15 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL

1:16 am

moonwoof

I remember the order... just couldnt control my reaction ^^

1:16 am

TraderKate

1:17 am

rururocks

1:17 am

rururocks

always a smart ass :D

1:17 am

TraderKate

i didn't see dart in the chog....

1:17 am

moonwoof

I remember... But no more sharing... and makes me wonder who I should beat up for skurring him off.

1:17 am

TraderKate

i used to talk to him...

1:17 am

jillibus

you're just trying to goad him into a response, eh, ruru?

1:18 am

rururocks

1:18 am

jillibus

Kate, look in Who's Online

1:18 am

grannyrose

he's on-line. well at least his computer is.

1:19 am

TraderKate

i never log out of babble... you'll stay logged in for about 2 weeks i think before you are booted out of the online list if there is no activity...

1:20 am

rururocks

I love to tease dart

1:20 am

moonwoof

Its possible, I suppose. But I have doubts. If it IS the case, however, lemme know dart so I can kick ru for ya!

1:21 am

TraderKate

1:21 am

TraderKate

1:23 am

TraderKate

rururocks

1:24 am

moonwoof

1:24 am

TraderKate

1:25 am

moonwoof

1:25 am

rururocks

1:25 am

TraderKate

1:25 am

moonwoof

2:45 am

grannyrose

well done, chrissie

2:45 am

moonwoof

I was there not long ago, gj chrissie!

2:46 am

moonwoof

they were all little t words -.-

2:46 am

moonwoof

and they went on for.ev.er.

2:48 am

grannyrose

lol, told you woof....there are some many of the little blighters

2:48 am

grannyrose

lol, told you woof....there are some many of the little blighters

2:48 am

grannyrose

lol, told you woof....there are some many of the little blighters

2:48 am

ChrissieDee

Are you still going to manage to get away while you're off work rose?

2:48 am

grannyrose

aarrgghh sorry. finger twitched

2:48 am

ChrissieDee

You would certainly benefit from a break

2:49 am

grannyrose

yes chrissie, and we have lots of films to see, dinners, lunches, breakfasts all lined up too.

2:49 am

moonwoof

no problem. You put up with us, we'll trade you ^^

2:49 am

ChrissieDee

That's good

2:50 am

grannyrose

between DH and myself, we belong to quite a few web sites which offer great specials.

2:51 am

moonwoof

I just cant get into online coupons. It's such a pain to go thru a zillion and only find one or two that are worthwhile

2:51 am

moonwoof

It might help if we didnt live in the boonies, but i doubt it

2:52 am

moonwoof

but are you taking a trip soon, then?

2:52 am

ChrissieDee

Only a zillion moon? ;)

2:53 am

moonwoof

seems like even more than all the little t words in this puzzle!

2:54 am

moonwoof

I have trouble just sitting thru tv show commercials and I *know* there's something I want if I cant get thru those lol

2:55 am

o-o

Counting non-stop, at one number a second, it would take you 31 years, 251 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 39 seconds to count to 1 billion.

2:55 am

moonwoof

so it may well just be me ^^

2:55 am

grannyrose

yeah, woof. af5 retirement, and once mother mac has fallen off her twig, we are planning to move to a rural town/area which we both like. we are going down there for a few days, in the colder weather, to make sure we can live there

2:55 am

moonwoof

Excellent, then I can take that off my bucket list

2:56 am

moonwoof

oh nice!

2:56 am

ChrissieDee

See moon, it wouldn't be a waste of almost 32 years of your life, lol

2:56 am

grannyrose

then the week af5, we are heading north to warmer climes to unfreeze, lol

2:57 am

moonwoof

good call. A lot of people in AZ do that too. summer up north when it's warmer and winter here when is cooler

2:58 am

grannyrose

all within our own state of victoria. it seems really strange, we have snow in our nearby mountains, and yet up to the north of our state it is sunny and warm.

2:58 am

moonwoof

and you *say* that chrissie, but it felt like it!

2:58 am

moonwoof

Ive travelled and hiked too much to find that weird, anymore. Altitude makes a huge difference

2:59 am

ChrissieDee

Love your expression re mother mac

3:00 am

grannyrose

yeah, woof. and i have finally managed to show DH what 'snow' clouds look like. a bunch of them went over our area, and that night our snow fields had their first decent fall for the year.

3:00 am

grannyrose

lol, chrissie..she is so frail, she is like a little sparrow.

3:04 am

grannyrose

you know, woof, it's not such a bad idea for old fo4s. have two homes, which you can use at the 2 different times of the year.

3:04 am

moonwoof

I know people who do, and they seem to enjoy it greatly. And I know more who have motor homes and do the same kind of thing.

3:05 am

moonwoof

they all swear by it as perfect for thei
r retirement

3:05 am

grannyrose

yeah, motor home is an alternative. we are seriously considering it.

3:07 am

moonwoof

there are tons of options, of course, but most with the motor homes have a vehicle they tow it with, instead of the all in one version. Apparently thats less expensive

3:11 am

grannyrose

woof, we can have an unit made which fits onto the back of our ute. when we want to travel, we put it into place and hey presto, a mobile home.

3:14 am

moonwoof

nice

3:20 am

moonwoof

omg Im totally not making it

3:20 am

moonwoof

Without the little word worms to distract me, Im nodding off =\

3:20 am

grannyrose

gonna dip out for a whiles. lots of emails to answer, and heaps of jigsaws to do. happy babbling. woof see you tomorrow if you aren't he4 when i come back in a few hours. xoxox

3:21 am

grannyrose

oh, and motoGP is on tonight, so am gonna be tied up watching that...

3:22 am

moonwoof

gn {rose} sleep well

3:22 am

moonwoof

and same. If you see sprite on your return, plz make sure she had dinner ^^

3:23 am

moonwoof

good night, as well, all you lurky types. Have fun!

3:29 am

sprite

good morning, all

3:29 am

grannyrose

rest well, woof, and will do, re checking that sprite has eaten...

3:29 am

grannyrose

speak of the 'devil'

3:29 am

sprite

lol

3:30 am

sprite

yes, I had dinner. My lovely daughter cooked and it was tasty.

3:30 am

grannyrose

well, sprite...and have you eaten today...and how is DH tonight?

3:30 am

sprite

thanks for caring, you two

3:31 am

grannyrose

sweetheart....thoughts and prayers for all of you...

3:32 am

sprite

husband was a little better yesterday, the pain medication is adequate now, he can manage the pain and even sleep a little. Oh, I need to tell you something funny...

3:33 am

sprite

I wanted to buy him a balloon with helium, a huge red heart. But Caya was with me and she insisted I bought another one... a big blue foot with the text: "It's a boy!" We did, and Rob couldn't stop laughing while we tied it to his bed.

3:35 am

grannyrose

oh, heavens...ROFLOL

3:36 am

sprite

it was a hoot. Big smiles from the nurses too.

3:36 am

grannyrose

god bless, her. at least he had a good laugh.

3:37 am

sprite

yes, it was brilliant. Every time his eye fell on it, he had a huge grin on his face.

3:37 am

sprite

and how is my sweet rose today?

3:37 am

grannyrose

having a good one, thanx, hun

3:38 am

sprite

glad to hear it. And your husband?

3:39 am

grannyrose

this morning was sad. lower back in spasm. but went to church anyways. was great. DH is well. he is cooking vegetables to go with the apricot chicken for dinner.

3:40 am

sprite

argh, such pain :( But glad church was good, and your husband rocks :)

3:42 am

grannyrose

yeah, lol, was bad when i had to struggle to wash my feet in the shower...but was so pleased to get to church. a recently widowed lady was there. she is such a legend. and her faith is such an example to us all.

3:43 am

sprite

my son is being a pest, btw. Unwilling to chip in with help, rude, not even willing to help distribute the chores with Caya and me. Frustrating, how those hormones make a helpful caring boy into such an icecold egoist.

3:43 am

sprite

am so glad, rose. Makes all the difference, doesn't it, to be able to get out, meet people and be inspired.

3:44 am

grannyrose

aww sprite. he is so typical. he is obviously hiding his feeling. he is so worried about his dad.

3:45 am

sprite

probably. But right now I don't know how to handle it. I have to do the shopping today, because he won't and Caya needs days off, I refuse to let her take up his slack.

3:48 am

grannyrose

and so right, sprite. can you reach out to him, when he is alone? boys do not like to show emotion in front of anyone? but mom's are not anyone, they are...well, mom's. talk to him as an equal, on the quiet.

3:49 am

sprite

yeah, tried that yesterday. No joy. Perhaps I will try again today. Though right now I feel like ignoring him ;)

3:49 am

grannyrose

tell him you need his help...boys respond to that.

3:50 am

sprite

that is what I did... and he said "So?"

3:50 am

grannyrose

they usually like to think that they are now the 'head' of the household

3:50 am

grannyrose

okay...so he is isolating himself...hmmm

3:50 am

sprite

he is more like the ass

3:52 am

grannyrose

could DH speak to him...as in hand over the reins to him?

3:53 am

sprite

he could if I would tell him what is happening at home... but I don't. I don't want Rob worrying, while he has to focus on himself and getting through the day in pain.

3:56 am

grannyrose

ahh, sprite. stop it right there, hun. let DH do it, and let DH know you need help from both children. DH is much stronger than you think. besides, this would keep Rob linked to his family, very important fact.

3:57 am

sprite

you think that would be best? I'd hate for him to worry while I can manage. I always find a way.

3:58 am

grannyrose

you step in, 'protect' Rob from what is happening at home, do not allow Rob to continue as "head' of his family. this will undermine Rob's self-esteem. if you are in doubt, discuss it with his specialist.

3:59 am

sprite

thanks rose. I will. Never thought of it that way. You definitely have a point.

4:00 am

grannyrose

sometimes we have the problem so in our face, that we fail to see the other side of the problem.

4:01 am

sprite

so very very true :)

4:01 am

sprite

crying a little now... thanks again, sweetie.

4:02 am

grannyrose

prayers for you, sweetheart, and all your little family. go forward in faith, dear

4:02 am

sprite

I will... can't do otherwise, with my babble friends supporting me :)

4:03 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite a tissue* i'm sorry sweetheart, didn't mean to make you cry.

4:03 am

sprite

oh rose, my first tears since it all started. I think they were due. And I cry because I feel blessed with a friend like you.

4:09 am

grannyrose

sprite, tears are good, hun. cleansing, releasing. xoxox

4:10 am

sprite

*hug*

4:10 am

grannyrose

hun, email me. dinner ready...must eat...will respond soonest. {{hug}}

4:11 am

sprite

will do. Enjoy dinner!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:26 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}} you still here?

4:27 am

grannyrose

4:28 am

sprite

hiya yes I am here

4:28 am

sprite

4:28 am

rubyfoo

4:29 am

rubyfoo

yes, Burt had them on his desk, so annoying

4:29 am

grannyrose

ahh, may i introduce the first and foremost...SPRITE!!!!!

4:30 am

sprite

lol rose :)

Am glad, ruby.

4:30 am

grannyrose

you know, gals...when we finally get together...the whole world will need tranquillisers. LOL

4:30 am

sprite

lolol yes... and we won't!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

ya think?? lol

4:31 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

4:32 am

sprite

oh I love this word... and the animal too... the tiny raptor bird.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

first letter? I've just strted and only have ten minutes

4:33 am

sprite

O. Night raptor bird.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

oh, the baby one

4:34 am

rubyfoo

I don't think of them as raptors, more like cats with wings

4:34 am

sprite

lol lol

4:34 am

grannyrose

DH is trying to find on the internet, a statement that washed potatoes as opposed to unwashed potatoes are better as roast potatoes. have tried to tell him it 'old' versus 'new'. *sigh* he's not listening..

4:35 am

rubyfoo

just found the 8 on my own (an 8!)

4:36 am

grannyrose

he will not accept that new potatoes have a completely different taste and texture.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, I tried to make vichysoise using the wrong knd of potatoes and I made Library paste instead

4:36 am

grannyrose

whoot, ruby, you rock

4:38 am

sprite

well done, on both counts, grin

4:38 am

rubyfoo

must go, Mr. Grumpy awaits

4:38 am

sprite

just called my love, he slept well last night :)

4:38 am

sprite

hug mr Grumpy from me, and have a hug yourself too

4:38 am

rubyfoo

big hugs to both my friends!!!

4:39 am

rubyfoo

PS: I gree with Roe about getting Rob involved with Master Grumpy!

4:39 am

grannyrose

xoxox to you sweetheart.

4:39 am

sprite

ok, will do :)

4:39 am

grannyrose

sprite, good news, hun...that he slept last night.

4:40 am

sprite

oh yes, that makes so much difference.

4:43 am

grannyrose

sprite, today you must address the problems at home, with Rob. he will have gained so much strength from a good night's rest.

4:43 am

sprite

you are right, and I will. I realise you are right that when I take over, Rob will feel unneeded. And he is needed so much.

4:44 am

grannyrose

yes, darling. that male ego is a very fragile thing. as the females, we need to bolster it so much.

4:45 am

sprite

grin, tis true

4:47 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...and they never realise that it us 'ladies' which keep them afloat.

4:47 am

sprite

we keep eachother afloat, I think. Complementary people :)

4:48 am

grannyrose

yeah, dearest sprite. as Don and i do...i'm not saying that they don't contribute...

4:49 am

sprite

I know :) We treasure our men, rose. We are the lucky ones.

4:50 am

grannyrose

yup..too true. we surely are fortunate.

4:51 am

sprite

am gonna take a shower after this grid, and then rest a bit, and then shopping. Then rest a bit more and then visiting hours. And I will ask for Rob's help with Tim.

4:52 am

grannyrose

good on you, sprite...and i am off to do some jigsaws. hope all goes well, hun. look forward to seeing you at the flip.

4:53 am

sprite

enjoy the puzzles, rose, and thanks for being there for me *hugs*

4:54 am

grannyrose

4:54 am

6:27 am

george zimmerman acquitted, while a woman who fired warning shots at her abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in the same state. finn hudson of glee dead prob of drug overdose.

6:27 am

grannyrose

please don't say nelson mandela is gone.

6:28 am

grannyrose

acckk!!! no more!! too sad, as you say.

6:31 am

hurshy

i wouldn't even mind zimmerman so much if like, he seemed to have changed and realized how crazy his behavior had been and feel unbelievably guilt-ridden, you know? that's really all the punishment anyone needs. but as far as i can tell he still seems to think he was perfectly justified.

Some clues work for some people and not others, so the more clues we have the better off we are.

8:29 am

crosshair

i think i will just add another half cup of coffee and some bacon and see how it goes

8:31 am

MollyL

And the bacon infatuation has even extended to coffee. You can now order maple bacon flavored coffee beans.

8:33 am

crosshair

8:33 am

crosshair

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, you are probably looking for that on the internet now.

You were a pig in a former life, or a pig farmer.

8:38 am

crosshair

actually it is worse that that scrabby.you know the contrast stuff they inject you with to get a better ct picture.how it makes your body hot and flushed and you get that taste in your mouth?.last time i had that i wondered if they could make that bacon flavoured

8:38 am

Scrabbler

And at 92/85 I have had enough of this grid. Not a fun one.

8:40 am

MollyL

I think you might get better flavor adding a touch of bacon syrup and maple syrup to regular coffee.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Crossy. Well, have a wonderful bacon Sunday!

8:41 am

crosshair

mmm bacon syrup on jumbo Belgian waffles

8:46 am

MollyL

And Capella actually makes bacon flavoring drops so you could make your own bacon syrup by adding that to simple syrup.

China is the birthplace of the first seismograph. Built in 132 AD by a man named Cheng Heng, it consisted of eight metal dragons holding eight carved balls over eight frog figurines. If an earthquake made the ground vibrate, the dragon facing the quake’s source would drop a ball into the mouth of its corresponding frog.

9:32 am

car.eeyore

i saw it on the History Channel just a little while ago! Very fascinating! It would tell him which province the quake had happened in.

11:04 am

sammysmom

people who are constantly on their cells irritate the bejeezus out of me.. including my own grandkids............. will not even try to include them in conversation.. not hold a meal up for them..........actually.. i ignore them... even left one on her front porch once/ was goint to take her shopping, but her phone conversation was more important then her nana- so i lefrt her. saved myself a bunch of money that time

1:58 pm

TraderKate

i should clear out about a million fb spams in my e-mail... never seem to get the time :(

1:59 pm

MollyL

Kate needs a spam filter on her email. : D

2:01 pm

TraderKate

yes i do, or go into fb, and find the games to disable them - or at least stop the posts from them. i have been away from fb so long, i have a hard time navigating there

2:01 pm

dianedecoder

but alas, I don't have that one on my computer. I must go find it in private hub. :-)

2:01 pm

MollyL

It's not very user friendly.

2:01 pm

ivesy3

i had over 1000 emails from my roadrunner acct. trying to get rid of them. only let u do 25 at a time

2:02 pm

ivesy3

its a great song diane. im sure u will find it :)

2:03 pm

good news, i am on a new shot for my diabeties , only 1x a week.. bad news it makes me feel like jumping out of my skin...

i'm up to about 2500, slowly getting rid of them. tyring to delete at least 50 a day. i'll get there eventually :(
i'm glad someone else thinks fb is not easy to get around on...

2:04 pm

ivesy3

yes , thats rite lady di.. forgot he wrote it.

2:04 pm

TraderKate

oh ivesy! just when you get the shot, or for the whole week?

2:05 pm

mom23

ivesy3, there are plenty of us here in central FL who agree with you and don't understand how such a verdict is possible. Manslaughter was a 2nd alterntive, but jury opted to disregard it for whatever reason. Z's life won't be easy if that's any kind of justice. Just something wrong with following someone who's doing nothing, armed with a gun w/hollow points, and going free. jmo

2:06 pm

ivesy3

about 12 hrs after i get the shot.. last about a day.. have to take 1/2 xanax to control it.

i know mom.. i dont care what the kid was doing, zimmerman had no right to shoot him. esp after cops told hm not to follow.. what was wrong with that jury

2:07 pm

cybernan

my question is when the kid asked z why he was following him, why didn't z identify himself?

2:07 pm

ivesy3

ty molly.. i will have to save that to my puter

2:07 pm

MollyL

It's on YouTube Ivesy, you can just go there and search if you forget to save the url.

2:09 pm

ivesy3

ok.. thks. i always liked that song. always think of it after my young cousins were killed by a drunk driver.. guy got off with six months.. truth and justice shall be done

2:09 pm

TraderKate

that's rotten ivesy, can you have the shot so that you are deeply asleep when the side effects hit?

2:10 pm

ivesy3

i could change the time of day i take it.. later mb. didnt think of that ! thks kate..

2:12 pm

TraderKate

well, hopefully, it wouldn't wake you up...worth a try!

2:13 pm

ivesy3

was going to ask dr. about changing it, but it act. is working. and i dont want to start to round of side effects. this is the only side effect i have and hoping my body gets used to it

2:13 pm

MollyL

Truth and justice often get perverted when they are "dispensed" by those who have no business doing so. A man was beaten into critical condition in Alabama and those who did so left saying "That was justice for Trayvon"

2:14 pm

ivesy3

omg! that is just stupidity.. but people wanted justice and they didnt get it.. so they take it in their own hands.. wont change anything though. he is free, trayvon is dead

2:15 pm

TraderKate

sorry, nan...

2:16 pm

cybernan

got it

2:16 pm

TraderKate

ya, ride it out for a bit, a shot once a week beats 2-3 times a day. how long have you been on the new regimen?

Certainly don't condone any of that nonsense, Molly. Just sad that, despite what's spouted to the contrary, certain things are alive and well in the south as well as other places in our country. And I personally find the gun culture frightening.

2:18 pm

ivesy3

think this is my third week.. stabilizes my numbers and cuts appetite.. .. seems to be working.

2:19 pm

MollyL

I hope you find a way to make that shot work for you Ivesy.

2:20 pm

ivesy3

ty molly... :)

2:21 pm

TraderKate

sounds like the trade off is worth it, especially if the xanax mitigates the heebie jeebies ;)
getting xsanax up here is like pulling teeth now.... i used to use it occassionally on really bad days, but now i just have to suffer.... like 1/4 mg. once or twice in 3 weeks is gonna make me an addict...

2:22 pm

ivesy3

oh my dr. will only give me 30 , and thats every four months only... i try not to use them unless i have to , then only 1/2.. i dont like the feeling.. would make a terrible addict lol

2:23 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thank heavens for lickety!

2:23 pm

MollyL

I've heard similar things about getting medication in Canada, Kate.

2:24 pm

TraderKate

congratulations nan!!!!

2:24 pm

cybernan

bye everyone :)

2:24 pm

ivesy3

but yet jason had a dr. gave me 30 every month! go figure

2:25 pm

ivesy3

ooops gave him 30 every month, not me lol

2:25 pm

TraderKate

just the listed ones molly - ones that have been problematic for predisposition to addiction... for the xanax, i think it had a lot to do with a few high profile stars' problems/deaths that did that one in. oxycodone is no longer available here at all.

2:26 pm

ivesy3

they r putting more of a control on oxycodone here.now u have to agree to drug testing by dr. if not they wont give it to u

2:27 pm

TraderKate

that's la lot ivesy, depending on strength... i like to use it because it does not make me "stupid" just pulls me down off the ceiling. and because it is so quick-scting, i can try to delay, rather than reach for one, because i can give it a chnce to go away on its own, if you get my meaning

2:27 pm

MollyL

Ivesy, most doctors are clueless about addiction.

2:28 pm

TraderKate

.. or oxycontin, can't remember which...

2:29 pm

TraderKate

typing in the toilet again, gonna make a quick run to the store fjor some wine for dinner and a babble ;)

2:30 pm

Oh wow, TMI to the max Kate.

If making a lot of your own bread, buying bread flour in bulk saves a lot of money.

3:54 pm

3:55 pm

bichon

Your child swore at you, how old is she/he?

3:55 pm

TraderKate

cjome back mimi!!!!!

3:55 pm

bichon

My kids are grown and the grands aren't old enough to swear. I'm in a sweet spot

3:56 pm

lilliann

she's 13, but it's not just the swearing, it's the anger!

3:56 pm

MollyL

Isn't anyone going to get all offended and say that chat is sexist and we should not be talking about men's privates? *Waits*

3:56 pm

bichon

I remember when my daughter was 13. She asked me to drive her and her friend to the mall and then she told me not to be near here, too embarassing

3:57 pm

MollyL

L, that is hormones in your daughter. You know she loves you.

3:58 pm

bichon

Today my daughter is constant apologizing for the angst she caused me. And she has a daughter herself and is jittery about what is to come

3:58 pm

crosshair

we can talk about whatever private you would like,molly

3:58 pm

crosshair

privates

3:59 pm

MollyL

Hey, I'm just watching while everyone else does what I get criticized for. : D

3:59 pm

lilliann

when her dad is home she is lovely and as soon as he goes away, the mouth starts,and the nastiness, it doesn't matter what i do, it's never good enough.i take her mobile and laptop away and ground her but i still get things thrown in my face and she also gets physical when the anger builds up. she has been bullied alot throughout her life because of her hair colour but is beginning to fight back now and swear at others but hormones and teenage angst ends up being against me

3:59 pm

jesdraggon

it's a tough lot to offend in he4/4 today, which is fun :)

3:59 pm

bichon

Isn't the whole idea of "privates" is that they are private?

4:00 pm

MollyL

L, I don't care how angry she is, she does NOT get to throw things at you. EVER.

4:00 pm

crosshair

the stuff you take away,especially the thrown stuff,keep locked up for the rest of the month

4:00 pm

lilliann

She doesn't throw things in my face Molly, that was a litteral expression :)

4:01 pm

MollyL

Oh, that was probably a figure of speech and not meant as really throwing things.

4:01 pm

lilliann

she kicks

4:01 pm

MollyL

She kicks you?

4:02 pm

crosshair

some wise mother told us once that when it comes to kids and rules and consequences to "say what you mean and mean what you say" or there is chaos

4:02 pm

lilliann

i end up throwing things after she has kicked me as i can't chase her, i normally miss and then feel guilty

Any form of physical abuse is not acceptable.

4:03 pm

crosshair

oops,sorry cat laid on my keyboard

4:05 pm

lilliann

i know she has alot of pent up frustration but i'm sick of being the one she takes it out on.we all get frustrated, but there are ways to get rid of it which doesn't hurt others.i need to go and check on her, and see if she is asleep

4:06 pm

rururocks

wow. lillian.. this sounds like you need to get her counseling

4:06 pm

crosshair

sigh..children.they do not come with an owners manual and each is unique

4:07 pm

MollyL

L, I'm serious. it is not acceptable for her to be physically abusing you. I don't care how much pent up frustration she has. She needs some anger management help.

4:07 pm

crosshair

best thing we ever did was get couciling for us and our child when he was younger

4:08 pm

crosshair

it is nothing to be ashamed of,you get coaching and coping advice as well as a ton of other ideas

4:08 pm

bichon

Agree with both Molly and crossy. Physical abuse is not allowed.

4:09 pm

MollyL

Sorry if I am coming on too strong, but it scares me when people indicate that they tolerate that kind of stuff. Especially people that I like.

4:10 pm

crosshair

they can also help with parental relief periods as well as subsidized activities for your child during summer months

4:11 pm

jesdraggon

te6/27 please?

4:11 pm

Soodle

((((Lillianne)))) thats a bloody difficult place you find yourself in! But the youngster must be made aware of how unnaceptable her behaviour is. Otherwise, I fear, a monster is being created. Said the Mother of the Year!

4:12 pm

bichon

If she's doing that at home, what is she doing at school, with her peers?

4:13 pm

MollyL

4:13 pm

jesdraggon

thanks

4:13 pm

crosshair

with my son he was a bastion of virtue and help and goodness outside the home.it was the home environment that triggered things.school is much more structured in many cases and children like this need heavy structure

4:13 pm

Soodle

Good point, Bich!

4:14 pm

bichon

And how is your hubby helping you with this issue Lili?

4:15 pm

bichon

You should be a team.

4:16 pm

TraderKate

bichon, she was bullied quite a bit at school. i wonder if she percieves lil as some to be bullied because she is " weaker than herself" ?
perhaps a nightly family conference (by phone) is in order? it may help if she knows that things won't "blow over before dad gets home again days later...

4:16 pm

Definitely think counseling would help. If she won't go, you can surely go by yourself or with your hubby

4:19 pm

TraderKate

{{{{liliann}}}} G&T anyone???

4:19 pm

MollyL

L, her extra responsibilities because she needs to help you, do not justify her physically abusing you.

4:19 pm

TraderKate

too*

4:19 pm

jesdraggon

what's G&T?

4:19 pm

lilliann

the problem is, we are very much alike and argue all the time.i won't let her get away with alot whereas her dad has more patience

4:19 pm

MollyL

Gin and tonic

4:20 pm

MimiCat

Kate, check your em if you can...you'll laugh.

4:21 pm

lilliann

no, you're right Molly. i've already told her that she needs anger management

4:21 pm

MollyL

L, would you tolerate your husband kicking you, or hitting you? Why justify your daughter doing the same thing? It's not right.

4:22 pm

lilliann

my husband's never here Bichon, and i wouldn't always be able to make my appointment.she calms down alot when my husband talks to her on teh phone and obviously blames me for her whole life

4:23 pm

lilliann

No. Molly as i have been in a physical marriage before and left

4:24 pm

MollyL

I have to get out of chat now. These kinds of stories about physical abuse really bother me. Best of luck dealing with this L.

5:17 pm

lilliann

Moules are mussels kate

5:17 pm

MollyL

Then why not just say mussles? Is there a difference?

5:18 pm

lilliann

Moules is th e French word. We had Moules Mariniere, which is white wine,garlic and onions

5:18 pm

lilliann

Because Moules sounds nicer

5:19 pm

TraderKate

looked on wiki, lil.... not a fan of seafood (unfortunately) but it does look/sound good - especially your variation.

5:19 pm

MollyL

Ooo la la!

5:19 pm

Anniebrook

whenever we go to an Italian restaurant we always start with a big bowl of mussels. yum!

5:20 pm

crosshair

same reason they say escargot..sounds better than snails:)

5:20 pm

TraderKate

the dish is mussels and frit.. fried potatoes, customarily served in separate dishes/bowls... or even in the pan

5:20 pm

lilliann

5:20 pm

MollyL

Pretty words for slimy things.

5:21 pm

lilliann

I'm not a big seafood eater but i do like mussels and have eaten snails and i do like prawns but not into crab or lobster and i'm not a big fish eater, especially fishy fish and ones with loads of bones in

5:22 pm

TraderKate

5:23 pm

TraderKate

love a good english beer-battered fish and chips (even like the mushy peas)

5:23 pm

MollyL

L LOVES mushy peas! Bring them on!

5:23 pm

TraderKate

i think it's time to forage, getting a wee bit peckish ;)

5:24 pm

lilliann

i was going to say, sweetmeat is sugary, i thought you did mean sweetbreads Kate :)

5:24 pm

crosshair

kate,i could make you some halibut in a german beer batter and chips done crispy plank style from fresh ontario russets that would bring a tear to yer eye

5:25 pm

lilliann

Shut up Molly :D

MollyL

Ew, do you think it was bad fish?

5:44 pm

periwinkle

I was running to the bathroom for various reasons :(

5:44 pm

periwinkle

5:44 pm

periwinkle

it tasted good tho

5:45 pm

MollyL

I don't eat a lot of fish, just for that reason. I know it's good for you, but I have nowhere to get it fresh.

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

6:05 pm

cool.girl

fl8 for me

6:05 pm

MollyL

el + not early + you get *** of things you don't need

6:06 pm

TraderKate

el 8... add 2 letters to the word before it (short for things like passport, driver's licence)etc.

6:06 pm

cool.girl

just the fl8 for me

6:06 pm

MollyL

fo8...fo4 that rhymes with yellow egg part + ta4...a story

6:06 pm

lilliann

fl8 is a rose,lilly, petunia etc but sounds like a broocolli spear

6:07 pm

TraderKate

a broccoli fl....... - bit of the tips of the plant

6:07 pm

lilliann

Ty Molly

6:07 pm

cool.girl

ty

6:08 pm

lilliann

Ty Kate aswell, but i didn't have any other el's

6:08 pm

MollyL

The broccoli word is spelled differently.

6:09 pm

lilliann

That's why when i read a clue about brocolli earlier Molly, i didn't get it as i kept putting the actual word in

6:11 pm

MollyL

Sometimes when people clue a "sort of" word, they think people will get it. Doesn't always work.

6:15 pm

lilliann

I've just read your fo8 clue Molly, ty

6:17 pm

lilliann

It doesn't always for some but it does for others Molly.i suppose it depends on what we all know or how tired we are at teh time

6:18 pm

uusue2

I figure very few clues are going to work for everybody, so I do my best and hope....

6:18 pm

TraderKate

hi sue :)

6:19 pm

lilliann

Hi Sue :D

6:19 pm

uusue2

hi kate :-)

6:19 pm

uusue2

and lilli! :-)

6:21 pm

TraderKate

is frank almost back to himself sue? hope he's feeling a whole lot better

6:22 pm

uusue2

yes, he is doing much better now, Kate! He is very glad of this, too

6:22 pm

uusue2

he still has one toe that is pretty sore but even it is getting better (one of the chemo drugs attacked all his nails, fingers and toes, and they were all quite sore and bleeding)

6:23 pm

TraderKate

glad for both of, it will be nice to lead a somewhat "normal" life for a while after all the hospital/clinic time..

6:23 pm

uusue2

indeed it will! And I've just retired, again, so we finally have some time to spend together.

6:24 pm

TraderKate

hope he has some nice comfy sandals to let the little piggie breath ;)

6:24 pm

uusue2

he does indeed - he didn't want to wear them before because if he hit his toe on anything it was pretty agonizing, but now it is a lot better

6:25 pm

TraderKate

are you jplanning any celebratory outings this summer? maybe a little road trip?

6:25 pm

TraderKate

a big fat layer of gauze and cotton balls helps, but it'd look funny!

6:25 pm

uusue2

so far no big plans, he's only been feeling better for about a week, but we do have a holiday scheduled in November

6:26 pm

uusue2

and of course we can take off any time we want, really, just have to make sure my son feeds the animals and walks the dog

6:26 pm

TraderKate

where are you planning to go in november?

6:26 pm

uusue2

Hilton Head Island, off South Carolina

6:27 pm

uusue2

we have reservations there for a week, and will drive there and back, will probably visit my dad in New Jersey and maybe my niece in New Hampshire

6:27 pm

TraderKate

woooot! get your motor running, head out on the highway, lookin' for adventure, in whatever comes our way..... (really bad singing here)

6:27 pm

uusue2

:-)

6:28 pm

TraderKate

sounds like a great trip sue! i hear it is lovely down there in the fall... is it a thanksgiving jaunt?

6:28 pm

uusue2

yes, it is, should still be pretty nice then

6:28 pm

MollyL

So, your plans to travel around and perhaps visit Babble people in Canada didn't pan out?

6:28 pm

TraderKate

wolvie is down that way somewhere....

6:29 pm

uusue2

I haven't scheduled anything yet, Molly, so it may wind up waiting until next year - but we shall see

6:30 pm

MollyL

Next year...

6:32 pm

uusue2

my goodness - going through the list - I seem to have missed rather a lot of te words!

6:40 pm

uusue2

oh dear - crossy will not like that it took me so long to find the wo4/11!

6:41 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

6:44 pm

wvteach

6:45 pm

uusue2

6:47 pm

wvteach

just got back from dinner

6:48 pm

TraderKate

where did you go?what did you eat? who were you with??? enquiring minds want to know ;0.....

6:49 pm

wvteach

enjoy hilton head and the beach sue - we will be down in myrtle beach next week for a week

6:49 pm

wvteach

didn't gop anywhere - leftovers - but mine was crab cakes from last night and fresh corn on the cob

6:49 pm

TraderKate

bye sue :0

6:50 pm

MollyL

<---Wants to go to Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach

6:50 pm

TraderKate

mmmmm i live for fresh local corn on th ecob... nothing like it!

6:51 pm

wvteach

going to myrtle beach because grandaughter has a dance competition there - but i love the beach

6:51 pm

wvteach

and i love all the seafood restaurants

6:52 pm

wvteach

the corn on the cob was really good tonight

6:55 pm

TraderKate

ah, so lots of good reasons to head out! how old is the granddaughter? i hear the seafoood there is wonderful, and so much fresh-caught... like our east coast up in hte maritimes.

6:56 pm

wvteach

granddaughter is only 7 - and the grandson is 2 1/2 - she will take classes during the day and competes in four categories on Monday and Tuesday evenings

6:57 pm

wvteach

we havce a condo right on the beach that sleeps 6 and has a small kitchen

6:57 pm

TraderKate

they are so cute at that age - what sort of dancing does she do? 9i used to do irish dancing many moons ago)

6:58 pm

wvteach

spent a wonderful vacation in Novba Scotia several years ago and enjoyed the beaches and food there

6:58 pm

TraderKate

that's great! and with a kitchen, it really cuts down on meal expenses...have your morning coffee whilst contemplating the waves rushin to the shore, then rush into them yourself... sounds like heaven!

6:59 pm

wvteach

would love to have her take irish step dancing but she hasn't yet. she loves gymnastics best but will not compete in that. She will be in tap, ballet, and lyrical in samll group and a tap solo

6:59 pm

MollyL

Wow, a condo on the beach...nice.

7:00 pm

TraderKate

wherre were you in nova scotia? i spent 3 summers in the big town of digby (world's highest tides, dontcha know....)

7:00 pm

wvteach

part of a large resort so there are also lots of pools etc. - never been there so i don't know what we are getting into

7:02 pm

TraderKate

wow! she has a lot on her plate for one so young! sounds like a well rounded basis for dance - the time will come when she may have to decide - it's good that she gets exposure to all kinds... and the tap will help her with the irish (if she does the hard shoe). i loved gymnastics when i was her age - though i was hopeless, lol

7:03 pm

wvteach

we were in PEI for 4-5 days and then 2 weeks in different places in Nova Scotia. Saw lots of pla es with the high tides and long walks out in low tifde. Were in Parsboro. Loved Cape Breton. We were campiong and based in 4 or 5 different locations all around Nova Scotia

7:05 pm

wvteach

My husband is a geologist and worked in Parsboro studying the tidal changes for use in generating electricity. He was there right after college so it was a while ago

TraderKate

you sure got around! i am jealous that you have been to pei... did you see anne shirley's house? er i mean l.m. montgomery's house? the tides in nova scotia are truly spectacular! couldn'r believe my eyes (coming from lakes at home). the cape bretoiners are poobably the friendliest people on earth... so inviting...

7:08 pm

TraderKate

that sounds fascinating teach! harness more of mother nature's power to generate hydro! is he still in the field? or at least still in geology?

7:09 pm

wvteach

we loved the music of cape breton. every night there was a "caligh" in different communities. Yes, we saw the house and also the set that they were using fo rhte tv show.

7:09 pm

wvteach

he is basically retired though still does some consulting. worked here at the university in the geology department.

7:10 pm

TraderKate

i'm so glad you got to sample some of the local "flavoour" of the cape bretoners... they are unique in canada... kinda french scotsmen... difficult to explain, but what a combo!

7:11 pm

wvteach

their music is unique and can recognize the sound of cape breton music - but also places for bagpiping and highland dancing there also

7:12 pm

wvteach

northern cape breton is very much like west virginia - hills and deep valleys

7:13 pm

TraderKate

i am hoping that one day a paleontologist will appear here... rocks are cool -especially since i have been doing a lot of research for mining and oil companies (for investing, not on contract).. i find them fascinating - especially plate tectonics..

7:14 pm

wvteach

the consulting my husband does is analyzing geological maps for investors in order to predict where to drill for oil and gas

7:15 pm

TraderKate

i was down that way... carolinas, kentuky etc. near the end of high school, i remember all those hills... very pretty! altoona penn. was another story though....thought i was in a mini san fran...

7:15 pm

MollyL

So Kate, you are doing research so you can invest in, what?

7:16 pm

TraderKate

that's my kind of consultant teach! there is a lot of demand, though for oil and gas not quite as much with the fraccing going on...

7:16 pm

TraderKate

publicly traded companies

7:16 pm

wvteach

fracking is quite an issue all around here

7:17 pm

MollyL

So you are invested in the stock market?

7:17 pm

TraderKate

it is becoming an issue everywhere.... as it should be.

7:17 pm

TraderKate

yes

7:19 pm

MollyL

Interesting

7:19 pm

TraderKate

there is no easy answer to the energy crunch the west... and now the east is experiencing... but what fascinating work! whenn i was in college a buddy of mine had a brother in law who ws a geologist for shell. he went all over the world. lost a couple of toes to frostbite up north many moons ago.. not always safe work!

7:19 pm

TraderKate

yes it is

7:28 pm

7:36 pm

stidmama

teach, Grant cleaned up my home-made (not by me, by a friend of grandparents in the 70s) mountain dulcimer today, and now we need to restring it -- any suggestions for type of wire for restringing?

7:36 pm

stidmama

go lilliann go! I am down to 76 myself, but not sure if I will finish today.

7:36 pm

MollyL

Solid cluing for the he6

7:37 pm

lilliann

plus my husband phoned and i was looking for vignettes for \germany and the speed limit for coaches in Belgium and i looked at tons of sites and none helpful!

7:37 pm

stidmama

oh, that is frustrating, lilliann

7:38 pm

wvteach

our local music store sells a set of strings that are specifically for dulcimers. how many strings do you need - there are 3, 4 ,5 or 6 string dulcimers. mine has 5 strings. the "top" string is the bass string and is usually a "wound string"

7:38 pm

lilliann

I thought it was one of my best clues yet molly :)

7:38 pm

stidmama

this is a 4-string dulcimer

7:38 pm

MollyL

It was. Nifty!!

7:39 pm

lilliann

i'm going to dive in and see what i can find before i end up chatting again :D

7:39 pm

stidmama

I have been reading up on the tuning and such. I wonder if the harp makers in Seattle would be able to find what I need. The local stores are pretty limited.

7:39 pm

stidmama

go lillian go!

7:40 pm

wvteach

then you will usually have two strings closest to you (the melody strings), the middle string and then the bass string (furthest from you). Depending on your area, you will then tune it to either DAA or DAD. WV tunes to DAA but most places tune to DAD

7:41 pm

stidmama

how strange -- what is the difference in the harmonies played in WV compared to other Appalachian places?

7:41 pm

wvteach

you can probably go online and look for dulciomer strings

7:42 pm

stidmama

I'll do that. Thinking I will want to get a book as well, dulcimer for dummies, or something similar.

7:42 pm

TraderKate

stiddie came back :)
and pen too! did you fw pen?

7:42 pm

wvteach

it sounds the same, it is just a different way of doing it. DAA players also tend to do more finger picking and moving across the strings. DAA uses more strumming - it is supposed to be the older more traditional way of playing the dulcimer

7:43 pm

stidmama

A couple years ago, Grant and I sat down and listened to a lot of dulcimer music, and tried tuning using some guitar strings (I always have extra) but it just didn't sound right.

7:43 pm

stidmama

hey kate!

7:43 pm

wvteach

Mel Bay has a bood basic book. There are also hundreds of free dulcimer tabs on line and on line tutorials. Find a local group or workshops to attend

7:44 pm

stidmama

"ottet" a musical group of river mammals?

7:44 pm

TraderKate

hiya stiddie, sorry can't chat, learning about dulcimers atm ;)

7:45 pm

TraderKate

*chortle* @ stiddie :)

7:45 pm

stidmama

I will look for that one, thanks teach. Sometimes for a beginner it's hard to know which sorts of things to look for.

7:45 pm

stidmama

LOL kate!

7:45 pm

TraderKate

there is something very close to that river mamal in the grid...

7:46 pm

stidmama

thanks kate! I was monkeying all around that one! (obviously)

7:46 pm

TraderKate

carry on, i find your chat with teach enlightening...

7:46 pm

wvteach

also good to find others to learn / play with. we have a group that gets together once a week and we all are learning together

7:47 pm

wvteach

it is also special to know the history of the instrument that you are playing - mine was built here in wv

7:48 pm

stidmama

true, but for now... Grant and I will take turns with it. I have a good friend (actually several) who are active in the local ethnomusicology scene and will ask them for groups I might try.

7:48 pm

stidmama

I love that this one was crafted with love by someone my grandparents knew. It's clearly home-built with "found" materials, but I remember picking it up when I was younger and it has a nice tone.

7:49 pm

wvteach

we have a couple in our group who share a dulcimer and luckily we have two groups - a 9 and then a 10 group - and that way they can pass on the dulcimer to the other

7:50 pm

stidmama

that's nice!

7:50 pm

wvteach

and that's why it will be special to you - i am learning to play the psaltery and i have one made by two friends who worked together to make it for me as a gift. It will always be special because of thier work doing it

7:51 pm

stidmama

yes! found an 8!

7:51 pm

7:54 pm

MollyL

There is only one fo8, I think that is what she meant.

7:54 pm

stidmama

7:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:54 pm

stidmama

7:55 pm

rocky, if you don't find a word easily, skip it and come back to it later... often you will see it later. generally we ask for hints when we are close to finishing the puzzle, not right from the start. see how far you get with the list :)

hi m9 :)

10:28 pm

TraderKate

<----- typo queen of babble.... :-/

10:29 pm

When I grow up, I don't think I'll want to go back again :-)

10:30 pm

stidmama

get in line behind me, kate!

10:30 pm

TraderKate

:))

10:30 pm

stidmama

oh, btw -- I inadvertently used my patented stern mama look on a friend's child yesterday and the kid cried... *sigh*

10:30 pm

TraderKate

we can be 28 together???

10:31 pm

TraderKate

don't sigh... good for you! i have a similar look - once in toronto, stopped a panhandler in mid-word with the look....

10:32 pm

Minveryork

I made a student cry the other day and I didn't even give a stern look! She spilled water on her desk and I told her she had to be careful with her bottle and she started crying.

10:32 pm

m9f9l

Oh no stid! Poor little thing :-)

10:32 pm

TraderKate

the kid obviously needed it! made him/her stop and think... not likely to transgress like that again...

10:32 pm

TraderKate

kids cry waaaaaaay too easily these days....

10:33 pm

rocky12

Feeling so dumb

10:33 pm

m9f9l

Some people are created more sensitive. Believe me, they don't want to be that way.

10:34 pm

m9f9l

And pushing them doesn't "toughen them up".. it often makes it worse.

10:34 pm

Jellen

Hi again...

10:34 pm

m9f9l

Hey Jellen!

10:34 pm

rocky12

Hi

10:34 pm

Minveryork

I'm VERY sensitive. I cry at the drop of a hat & i don't want to be that way!

10:35 pm

Jellen

Don't feel dumb, rocky...we all have been beginners here!

10:36 pm

rocky12

No i just found a word i should have found long ago

10:36 pm

m9f9l

Exactly Min. I'm not that way as much as I used to be, but boy it took a lot of work.LOL

10:36 pm

stidmama

well done rocky!

10:36 pm

Jellen

But you found it! Yay for you!

10:36 pm

TraderKate

don't cry min... we love you! we are all created differently

10:36 pm

rocky12

Ya i ges

10:36 pm

stidmama

I don't cry much -- usually -- and don't really understand why some people do; but I certainly don't like to trigger other peoples' waterworks!

10:36 pm

TraderKate

jellen came back!!!!

10:36 pm

stidmama

(((min)))

10:36 pm

stidmama

hey jellen!

10:36 pm

m9f9l

And Min.. I've come to terms with the fact that the problems associated with being that sensitive, I wouldn't give up because then I'd have to give up all the positive aspects too.

10:37 pm

TraderKate

you're going to get a lot of that rocky, we all do, just go with it. don't beat yourself up over shoulda-coulda-woulda....

10:38 pm

rocky12

Usealy peeps who are sensitive are really nice peeps

10:38 pm

m9f9l

Yup. True that rocky!

10:39 pm

stidmama

On the other hand, there is something going on when telling a child "no" in a calm voice about something that is previously agreed upon/understood triggers tears. Speaking as a teacher now, something like that (and it happens a lot more nowadays than it used to) is a red flag and I go talk to the school counselor.

10:39 pm

TraderKate

i get that stiddie! i literally never cry (not sure that's a good thing) but i can be a bit hard... especially on kids... funny thing is, they like me anyway... because i have rules and structure - not something they all get at home.

10:40 pm

rururocks

I usually see peeps around EAster

10:40 pm

stidmama

RURU!!!! ((hugs)) what fun to see you this evening!

10:41 pm

rocky12

Although a way to get over being sensitive is to go through some toughf stuff in your life

10:41 pm

TraderKate

ruru came back :)

10:41 pm

rururocks

Hi Stid

10:42 pm

TraderKate

being sensetive does not mean you can't be strong too rocky.... but i get you.

10:42 pm

rururocks

I never cry...

10:42 pm

TraderKate

and rust never sleeeps ;)

10:42 pm

stidmama

yes, once they are used to me it generally settles down. :-) Which is good. otherwise, as long as I know they aren't experiencing out-of-school issues, I generally ignore them so they can calm down.

10:44 pm

stidmama

But it's a case-by-case basis. Different kids need different approaches. Just like in a family.

10:44 pm

TraderKate

kids actually want definite boundaries and rules easily understood, imho... they don't get enough of it.... and we now have 2 generations of kids that have such a sense of self-entitlement! and no one to blame but ourselves... present company excluded, of course

10:44 pm

stidmama

of course, kate... LOL

10:45 pm

rocky12

The senistivity starts at home alot of the time cuz parents spoil thier kids and then they go to school and for the first time they are told no

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

10:46 pm

TraderKate

i'm not saying there aren't damn good parents out there... there are just too many that will try to throw money at a problem rather than spend their TIME to get to the rooot of it and correct what's wrong

10:46 pm

stidmama

I am known for being "strict but fair" and the kids respond to that. I wasn't sure it was the right approach (it comes pretty naturally to me, I am NOT a cuddly teacher, and I do not talk as if asking for permission)... but after March and how the kids responded I know it was working for them at least.

10:46 pm

TraderKate

you got it oin one rocky! very astute of you for a 15 year old...

10:46 pm

RoundBarn

adult tears are oftenfrom something you know not of. Same with kids. It helps to watch and listen.

10:47 pm

stidmama

very true, roundbarn

10:47 pm

RoundBarn

and touh stuff makes peole more sensitive--often--to other people, to living.

10:47 pm

TraderKate

hi rooundbarn :)
glad of your input :)

10:47 pm

stidmama

unless it makes them harder-edged

10:48 pm

RoundBarn

if they crawl into themselves--or you do.

10:49 pm

rocky12

Bulling also has alot to do with it cuz the emotions just sit there and build up and then at every tiny thing they let it all out

10:49 pm

RoundBarn

here you are a stranger, stidmama--yet I am noticing how you are progressing with your loss, talking to your mom, talking abt your kids--I son't know you but I am more sensitive to you

10:49 pm

TraderKate

a defined set of rules didn't make hundreds of generations 'harder-edged", the difference is in not re-inforcing the rules and standing by the need for correction - and yes, punishment as ewarranted

rocky - bullying has been a problem since the beginning of time... the difference, is that now we are trying to do something about it, but it is hard to make kids understand about it... it is more complicated than it looks at first glance

10:52 pm

rocky12

i understand that

10:53 pm

RoundBarn

Min, do I have your phone in Burlington? Maybe you'd drive out to the lake.

10:53 pm

But since it wasn't dealt with earlyer its much harder to stop

RoundBarn

My cell is lost--have to get a new one tmr before I leave Thurs. I hope I can get the same number. It seems crazy to connect my phone in Vt for 10 days.

stidmama

thanks roundbarn -- I am a person who believes strongly in not mind-reading, so I am quite straightforward.

10:55 pm

stidmama

You should be able to keep your same number, roundbarn -- as long as you are not moving a long distance?

TraderKate

Actually,since the meet-up is not happening I will not be in Burlington. I am going to try again at another time to do a meet-up on New York or Connecticut maybe next summer.

stidmama

Ah, kate, thanks for the help this evening! I have to go, too. I have decided to work on my knitting project (a random-pattern scarf) when I watch TV with my fellows. We are going through the whole star trek series (all of them!) this summer!

TraderKate

rocky - most bulllies have very low self -esteem and they lash out at others they think are weaker in some way than they are... not always physical strength, sometimes it's a simple as targeting a smart kid that has very few friends, and no one to help defend him from the bullying

10:59 pm

stidmama

I hope you-all have a wonderful week coming up. **scatters choclits and ice creams for everyone**
