12:33 am

VolleymomDee

lol

12:33 am

Lizlin

But you have the whole weekend to look forward to - hear we've only half of it left!

12:34 am

Lizlin

here!!!

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

true lol

12:34 am

Rows

why, Liz?

12:34 am

Rows

oh i was misunderstanding that

12:34 am

Rows

i thought you meant you had half a week left of work haha

12:34 am

Lizlin

Why? It 3.30 Saturday afternoon!

12:35 am

Lizlin

No work!

12:35 am

Rows

yeah i got that ;) i did live on your side of the world for 2 years, so i know

12:35 am

Lizlin

Happily early retired!

12:35 am

Rows

i did bring home work i have to do this weekend, though

12:36 am

Lizlin

Not good, Rows!

12:36 am

Rows

eh, comes with the territory

12:36 am

Rows

i love my job, so there have to be drawbacks once in a while

12:36 am

Lizlin

Teacher?

12:36 am

Rows

yeah

12:36 am

Lizlin

Me too - well, ex-teacher!

12:37 am

Rows

are you retired?

12:37 am

Lizlin

Yes - at 54.9 - hubby said come and retire to Australia (from London). Didn't take much twisting of the arm!

12:38 am

Rows

nice :)

12:38 am

Rows

well then, why are you complaining about only half a weekend left?!

12:38 am

Rows

you haven't got work on Monday :P

12:38 am

Lizlin

I wasn't really! I was thinking of those here who do work!

12:39 am

Rows

ah, gotcha

12:39 am

Rows

what did you teach?

12:39 am

Lizlin

Primary - most often 10 & 11, specialising in English.

12:39 am

Lizlin

And you?

12:40 am

Rows

10 & 11 is primary??

12:40 am

Lizlin

Yes in England, primary is 4 - 11

12:40 am

Rows

10 & 11 years old, or 10 & 11 grades?

12:40 am

Lizlin

Age - not year

12:40 am

Rows

i teach kindergarten

12:40 am

Lizlin

or grade!

12:40 am

Rows

but it's really more like pre-kinder, since my kids are all 3 and 4

12:41 am

Lizlin

Grades 5 & 6 I guess that would be.

12:41 am

Rows

ah okay, i thought you meant 10th and 11th grades, haha

12:41 am

Lizlin

That takes a lotalot of patience!

12:41 am

Rows

i also specialize in English, mainly English as a Second Language, English as a Foreign Language

12:41 am

Rows

yeah, but i've had some pretty awesome colleagues over the years who have taught me a lot :)

12:42 am

Lizlin

There are some great teachers around!

12:42 am

Rows

yep

12:42 am

Lizlin

I don't miss it though - so much beaurocracy these days and not just in teaching.

12:43 am

Lizlin

Takes away from the important stuff.

12:43 am

Rows

true

12:43 am

Rows

i just try to stay on the outside of any drama, and do my job and enjoy it

12:44 am

Lizlin

I began to resent not having any free time at the weekends. So much planning, marking and other paperwork.

12:44 am

Rows

ah

12:44 am

Rows

yeah, i generally avoid that successfully

12:45 am

Lizlin

Marking 90 - 120 essays written by 10 and 11 years olds takes ages!

12:45 am

Rows

what i have at home this weekend is 4 days' worth of lesson planning, as well as writing homework in the homework notebooks, but i have gotten about half of those done already, too

12:45 am

Lizlin

typos!!!

12:45 am

Rows

gah, yeah, i don't miss marking essays

12:45 am

Rows

though i do enjoy teaching writing

12:46 am

Rows

thankfully, marking work at the kindergarten level is pretty quick

12:46 am

Lizlin

When I started, one term's lesson planning filled one note book. By the time I left we were expected to provide minimum of an A4 sheet per lesson!

12:46 am

Rows

bleh

12:46 am

Rows

i hate it when schools have specific requirements for lesson plans

12:46 am

Lizlin

I taught 6 - 7 year olds for one year - cute but never again! Too scary!

12:46 am

Rows

it should be something that's done for the teacher, and how the teacher needs it done

12:46 am

Rows

i mean, the teacher does it for him or herself

12:47 am

Lizlin

this was the way it went in the UK - not just in my school.

12:47 am

Rows

haha

12:47 am

Rows

3 and 4 year olds are bit easier

12:47 am

Rows

they generally are scared of imaginary things that you don't even threaten them with, so it's pretty easy to get them to do what you want :P

12:47 am

Lizlin

In the UK even teachers of 4 year olds had huge amounts of paperwork!

12:48 am

Lizlin

True! But I'm better with older kids.

12:48 am

Rows

you just count down from 5 or 10, and there's really nothing at the end of that countdown, but they imagine there's something horrible at the end of it haha

12:49 am

Lizlin

Then there was Ofsted - the inspectors!

12:49 am

Lizlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d13gX-1\nHJg4

12:49 am

Rows

sounds ominous

12:50 am

Lizlin

That's a really funny song for teachers. Probably blew the chog - if so sorry. Probably also need to get rid of the n!

12:50 am

Dippnall

sorry to but in.......still teaching - and enjoying - my real bugbears are interfering politicians (election in 18 months what next?!!) and the threat of unconstructive inspection

12:50 am

Rows

that link didn't work

12:50 am

Rows

bugbears?

12:51 am

Rows

oh i get it sorry

12:51 am

Dippnall

bigger than irritations.........

12:51 am

Rows

yeah i just prefer to work for private schools

12:51 am

Lizlin

OK - try youtube and search for Fascinating Aida Ofsted song

12:51 am

Rows

less beauraucracy and a bit more freedom

12:51 am

Rows

also, generally more funding for materials and such

12:52 am

Lizlin

Dippnall - I loved the teaching - it was everything else that really got to me in the end!

12:52 am

Lizlin

I also had great colleagues and am still in touch with many of them in England.

12:52 am

Dippnall

with you there, Liz!

12:53 am

Rows

haha Ofsted doesn't sound pleasant

12:53 am

Lizlin

Try googling that Fascinating Aida song Dippnall - you'll love it!

12:53 am

Rows

i've got it

12:54 am

Dippnall

never not want to go into work - often quite eager (!) - but sometimes weary of interference........

12:54 am

Lizlin

Ofsted is not pleasant - causes stress no matter how good a teacher you are or how good the school is.

12:54 am

Rows

yeah

12:55 am

Dippnall

we haven't had an inspection for so long (nearly 7 years) so the concern of a visit seems ever-present

12:55 am

Rows

i don't understand how in Asia, teachers are so respected and everything, and yet in the US and apparently the UK, they're treated with suspicion all the time

12:55 am

Lizlin

I was looking through a FB page set up by pupils (now very adult) from the first school I taught in. So many familiar faces - really nostalgic!

12:55 am

Rows

here in Honduras, i don't see so much of that at least, but there's the other problem of school just being something you do during the day and then you go home and do nothing related to learning really

12:56 am

Rows

kids don't read books at home or really try their best on homework

12:56 am

Rows

at least i know in kindergarten if they aren't doing homework it's the parents' fault... i can blame someone other than my students

12:57 am

Lizlin

Lol!

12:58 am

Rows

well, i'm over half finished with this puzzle, and i'm tired

12:59 am

Rows

gonna call it a night and try a bit more tomorrow after sleeping

12:59 am

Dippnall

what time there Rows?

12:59 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Rows and enjoy your weekend.

1:02 am

Rows

thanks :) it's midnight here

1:02 am

Rows

have a good day, Liz and Dip

1:02 am

Dippnall

Good weekend then Rows - rest up for Monday!

1:34 am

grannyrose

awww, flosey, how awful for you. and you were so looking forward to it too.

1:35 am

puglet

How are you Rose

1:35 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. grid a little trickier than the la4 couple...lol

1:35 am

flosey

1:35 am

puglet

then congrats to you

1:36 am

grannyrose

thanx hun

1:36 am

puglet

You the only one with it Flosey

1:37 am

flosey

yes but William and parents were at another child's b'day party and they picked up the cold from one of the children - just over it so don't want to reinfect them

1:38 am

grannyrose

flosey, if it's the same virus, their immune systems will be loaded.

1:38 am

puglet

I know what you mean there. If Ive got a cold I try not going arround friends and family too

1:39 am

flosey

but how would one know, rose

1:39 am

puglet

Are you feeling under the weather Flosey

1:39 am

salmocreston1

hi Artictundra

1:40 am

grannyrose

is the cold going around develop with the same symptoms, and is the incubation period the same?

1:40 am

flosey

yes, headachy, stuffy

1:40 am

puglet

Hi Sal, nice to meet you

1:40 am

flosey

don't know, we'll just sit tight

1:41 am

flosey

unfortunately this is only time open to go over before I go East - and I must get over it before that

1:41 am

puglet

Iam kind of worried for you

1:41 am

grannyrose

echinacea and vitamin c in huge doses.

1:42 am

flosey

can't take a chance on missing TO, have booked flight

1:42 am

puglet

most colds run about 2 weeks

1:42 am

flosey

first I've had in years

1:43 am

flosey

lol rose, isn't it odd, had forgotten all about echinacea, we might even have it

1:43 am

puglet

Well you picked up the nasty bug somewhere

1:43 am

grannyrose

and any cough mixture with bromhexine in it. that stuff breaks up the ph6, and you recover very quickly.

1:44 am

joshuavorbis

i was so excited to see that word in the grid

1:44 am

grannyrose

write it down flosey. this stuff is what helped me to recover so quickly. didn't get to the yucky chesty stage at all

1:45 am

flosey

no cough, just in head

1:45 am

grannyrose

exactly, so stalemate it before it does.

1:46 am

puglet

rose, can you get it over the counter

1:46 am

flosey

good idea, can get it tomorrow, we haven't had colds for such a long time, out of all these things

1:46 am

flosey

yes pugs

1:47 am

puglet

1:47 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. over here you can. we have two varieties. one contain phenylephrine as well. but check with chemist before taking that one.

1:48 am

puglet

I think I will get some to have on hand

1:49 am

puglet

Flosey I do so hope you can nip this in the tush so you can go about your plans

1:50 am

joso

yucky cheasty stage sounds like something i could get into, what are you applying, honey, whipped cream ?

1:50 am

flosey

have been drinking tea with honey all day

1:50 am

puglet

ahhh, more like vicks and heatpad

1:53 am

joso

hope to get well flosey, I've been looking forward to meeting you, and it would be a great shame if you miss out on your kds and grandkids

1:54 am

puglet

1:55 am

joso

I guess, too clever for my own good

1:56 am

flosey

well I really must take care and get rid of this - but I have a couple of weeks before flight to TO

1:57 am

flosey

4 yr old grandson came on the phone and was telling me all he'd been doing

2:19 am

puglet

2:19 am

2:20 am

2:20 am

2:21 am

grannyrose

oh, the tutu....*runs to wardrobe* yup, tutu cleaned and fluffed.

2:21 am

pink17

lol joso is it pink?

2:22 am

joso

cabana boys lined up according to preference

2:22 am

grannyrose

tutu now a becoming shade of cream...was white 40 years ago...

2:22 am

joso

I don't know pink, have only heard of the infamous tutu, never seen it.

2:23 am

grannyrose

hmmm, cabana boys....should i risk it? what the heck!! cabana boys, tick...er tickle.

2:23 am

pink17

o I see

2:24 am

puglet

Rose, I think you should post a pic of you in the tutu before it rots away

2:24 am

grannyrose

history of tutu...was mine, over 40 years ago, recently unearthed from wardrobe at my mother's house when we were cleaning/clearing it out ready for sale.

2:25 am

grannyrose

pugs, what? with only one leg in it? lolol

2:25 am

pink17

that's sweet that she kept the tutu for so many years

2:26 am

puglet

thats up to you what you put in it

2:27 am

joso

tutu's have legs, I thought they were just a ruff cinched to the waist.

2:27 am

grannyrose

lol...pugs? did i tell you i have my la4 pair of toe shoes. i put them on, and was able to stand on my toes...still.

2:28 am

puglet

thats amazing is it not? lol

2:29 am

joso

that toe stand is supposed to be one of the tougher athletic feats around,

2:29 am

grannyrose

*giggle* joso, you are so male...tutus have a bodice attached to the tulle. you have to climb into them, like a pair of trousers, and pull the bodice up, and pull the straps up over your shoulders.

2:30 am

pink17

that is amazing granny my ankles would snap in two

2:31 am

grannyrose

*giggle* just don't ask me to pirouette.

2:31 am

joso

I thought the leotards where separate, ant the ruff the slightest of nods toward proprietary

Ive been having havic with my body for the last two weeks and dont have a clue what my problem is. Iam just down wanting to cry at the drop of a hat and Iam so darn tired. I got to pry myself to get the smallest thing done. I must be going through a mid-life thing

4:08 am

grannyrose

4:23 am

joso

thats right, send the cabana boys home, get the codger elite instead

4:24 am

sprite

I'd trade the whole cabana section for your company, joso

4:24 am

puglet

and how are we to have a stay over with men all over the place?

4:24 am

grannyrose

oh, so love the codger elite...come on down!

4:26 am

grannyrose

absolutely, pugs. si6s under then skin are we..

4:27 am

rubyfoo

there's a great Fr word in herwe, subite -- sudden

4:27 am

sprite

I tried it, ruby. Subiet is dutch, btw.

4:28 am

puglet

and what does that mean

4:28 am

sprite

the same thing, it means this instant, now

4:28 am

rubyfoo

like "sudden death" = mort subite

4:29 am

grannyrose

sublet or subite?

4:29 am

sprite

lol

4:29 am

grannyrose

subiet....ahhh

4:29 am

puglet

is dutch and french close in being the same lang.?

4:30 am

mixi6

german and dutch are closer.

4:30 am

grannyrose

hey mixi

4:30 am

sprite

not really, pug, they are from a different family. But we have loads and loads of french words in our language.

4:30 am

puglet

Hi Mix

4:30 am

sprite

hi mixi :)

4:30 am

joso

hi mixi

4:31 am

mixi6

hi all.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

not knowing Dutch, I think it has more in common with German,Yiddish and English. However, there are certainly overlaps

4:32 am

rubyfoo

hix mixi

4:32 am

rubyfoo

for me, Dutch is a "friendly" language in that I can pick up a lot of what is said

4:33 am

rubyfoo

hi*

4:33 am

sprite

french is a roman language, dutch a german(ic). But with all the sailing and commerce, the dutch has adopted many a foreign word.

4:34 am

puglet

How many langs. do you speak Ruby

4:34 am

rubyfoo

and probably everybody in Holland speaks at least 2 languages. I think Sprite speaks 6! (very sart sprite)

4:34 am

rubyfoo

smart*

4:35 am

puglet

wow Sprite!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Only French and English, pugs, but from watching TV,I find I can understand a little of this and a little of that, mostly by knowing the context and getting visual clues

4:35 am

sprite

that many? Nah. Dutch and english ok, german and french bearably. A few words and sentences japanese left. That is all.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

that's a lot, sprite

4:36 am

puglet

Is your tv shows mostly in french there

4:37 am

sprite

*stocks the PB... looks like many will find their way there today*

4:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, pugs,it's a constant struggle to find English-language shows that aren't dubbed because, since DHcan't hear, he has to read the Fr subtitles if it's in English. If it's in Fr, he's totally lost, even tho he reads it perfectly

4:38 am

rubyfoo

did I do a bad thing, sprite?

4:38 am

sprite

no hun. I just found cl4 and thought I'd better stock up the PB

4:39 am

mixi6

good idea, you can

4:39 am

mixi6

you can't ask for he4 eigher

4:40 am

rubyfoo

hahah, I didn't see it

4:40 am

mixi6

*either

4:40 am

sprite

argh, too true. Double-stock for the PB.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

tant pias, as they say ere or aunt went pipi I her bloomers

4:41 am

sprite

tant pis, what a shame, right?

4:42 am

rubyfoo

or, worse, too bad or even tough sh** (but that's very NY) lol

4:42 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:42 am

rubyfoo

must go, somebody is stomping around and I don't think it's a pup

4:42 am

sprite

lol, tell him hi from me

4:42 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

4:43 am

puglet

bye Ruby

4:43 am

joso

does anyone still speak flemish?

4:43 am

sprite

sure, half of the belgians do.

4:44 am

joso

tnx, wondered if it had died out

4:44 am

sprite

no, not at all, but it is a belgian language, not a dutch one.

4:45 am

joso

I know, but as it is next door i thought you would know, and you did

4:46 am

sprite

lol indeed. our very close neighbours, they are.

4:47 am

puglet

are you not famous for wooden shoes, Sprite

4:47 am

grannyrose

wish i could, joso. paternal grandfather was flemish, but spoke french

4:48 am

joso

I would expect so, being right next door and about the same size, and the 100 years war long over

4:48 am

sprite

we are, pug. Though it has been ages since they were regular footwear here. But the fame still exists and for the tourists they are still made. I own a pair for canoeing, actually.

4:49 am

joso

do you speak french then Rose?

4:49 am

sprite

sometimes we call belgium our very broad border with france, though, joso ;)

4:49 am

grannyrose

i read, joso, alas spoken is school-girl only. although when grandfather was alive, i was quite fluent.

4:50 am

sprite

french for kissing is in the grid too. Not valid though.

4:50 am

puglet

wooden shoes, tulips and windmills are apart of the dutch culture here

4:51 am

puglet

rather that is what we were taught in school

4:51 am

sprite

I live very near the 'Zaanse schans', pug, a place with lots of windmills, a wooden shoe maker, the very first shop of Albert Heijn and many more tourist shops.

4:51 am

joso

I bet the belgians don't like that, prairot was alway so insulted when confused for french

4:52 am

sprite

and yes, we do have many tulips. So it is true. But a bit outdated, of course.

4:52 am

grannyrose

um, joso, do you mean poirot???

4:52 am

sprite

no, they don't like that, joso, you are right. The battle of the languages is very active still in belgium.

4:53 am

joso

good for you Rose, I so admire people with language skills, un yes, see what I mean, can barely manage english

4:54 am

sprite

you make perfect sense to me, joso

4:54 am

puglet

In my mind that is how I picture your world Sprite and for Rose, the man from snowy river, kangeroos and blistering hot---Joso, cold, moose,lots of wildlife and mounties

4:54 am

joso

I mean un yes, i meant poirot

4:54 am

sprite

hehehe don't worry, pug, you can picture it that way still. I could even take you places where it would be like that.

4:55 am

grannyrose

np's beautiful people. nearly 9pm here. time for meds.. xoxox until we meet again.

4:55 am

sprite

sleep well, rose, and dream even better *hugs*

4:56 am

joso

bye rose, have a good day

4:56 am

puglet

night Rose--hugs, rest well

4:56 am

joso

or rest, whatever

4:56 am

puglet

I got lots to do today

4:57 am

sprite

pug, did you manage to find an e-reader yet?

4:57 am

joso

whats on the docket for you today pugs?

4:57 am

puglet

I have found what I want but havent gotten it yet

4:58 am

puglet

everytime I go to get it something else comes up

4:58 am

sprite

ok, let me know as soon as you do... I have found another lovely series for you to read. P. Briggs, the Mercy Thomson and the Alpha and Omega books.

4:59 am

puglet

oh,okay

4:59 am

puglet

I still got a lot yet on the series Im on now

5:00 am

sprite

yeah I know. Did you get more of the books already?

5:02 am

puglet

Iam reading about Z and A now(I think I like it the best so far)

5:03 am

sprite

aw isn't he a darling? Deep underneath? :) Poor man. Do you hate Valerius already?

5:05 am

puglet

well I havent read too much about him as of yet

5:05 am

sprite

ah ok. You will start to hate him in this book, then learn to love him in the next :) Kenyon is smart that way.

5:05 am

puglet

I feel so sorry for Z and I dont like that Godess thats keeps after ash

5:06 am

puglet

like I said before I cant wait to get to the book about him

5:06 am

sprite

ah, the heifer goddess, lol. No, she is a nasty nasty piece of work, that goddess. Simi wants to eat her.

5:06 am

puglet

and I wish she would--lol

5:07 am

sprite

so do we all :D

5:07 am

joso

ok gang, i'm off, see you all later

5:07 am

puglet

I need to get the very first book

5:07 am

puglet

bye Joso

5:07 am

sprite

bye joso, have a lovely day *hugs*

5:08 am

puglet

I see now what you meant that each book leads you into the next

5:08 am

sprite

fantasy lover. Yes, that is fun too. Julian and ... err....

5:08 am

sprite

grace is her name

5:10 am

puglet

Have you ever read Ride the Wind? Its based on a true story

5:10 am

sprite

yes, exactly. And with each book you learn more about the pantheon and about Ash and Artemis and Appollymia etc.

5:10 am

puglet

and its a old story too

5:10 am

sprite

let me check

5:12 am

sprite

no, I never read it. Checked for the dutch translation name and never read that either.

5:12 am

puglet

that is a very good book

5:12 am

sprite

ok, will put it on my list :)

5:13 am

puglet

you have a list you keep on all you read

5:14 am

sprite

no, only a list of books recommended to me that I will read in time

5:15 am

puglet

when they write a book and translate into another lang does it change the story

5:15 am

puglet

how big of a list do you have

5:16 am

sprite

sometimes. Depends on how well they translate. The funny thing with translating is, if you do it too literally, it changes the book more than if you aren't afraid to adapt to the other language.

5:16 am

sprite

I think about 50 books now, still to read, pug

5:17 am

Biltong

Hello. How is everyone today?

5:17 am

puglet

we are doing ok, crossy. Looks like the youth prevention program works for us... Tim is really trying to do better and things are more peaceful at home.

5:28 am

Biltong

Mostly good, yes :)

5:28 am

crosshair

howdy, puglet, school is going very well

5:29 am

sprite

the new therapy I am doing for the eating disorder is brutal. But am managing, if only barely, lol.

5:29 am

crosshair

yaa for sprite and tim!

5:29 am

sprite

ah, that is all we can ask for, isn't it Biltong! Good. Glad to see you as well.

5:29 am

puglet

how are things with you biltong

5:30 am

sprite

are you enjoying the study, crossy?

5:30 am

crosshair

mmm,one of our black cats just sauntered into the livingroom carrying its plastic food bowl...think he is hinting at something

5:30 am

Biltong

Good thanks puglet :) How are you?

5:30 am

crosshair

i am indeed,sprite:)

5:31 am

sprite

that is wonderful, crossy! I know the feeling of a brain that stretches and remembers old muscles, grin.

5:31 am

sprite

you think? Jeezzz. That is cattish for 'Human, you are late with my food. Stop what you are doing this instant and get cracking.'

5:32 am

crosshair

yes,muscles are the only problem. i have 3 herniated disks in my neck from years ago that are now giving me grief:(

5:32 am

sprite

oh darn :( Can you find a way to sit and write that is gentle for your neck?

5:33 am

crosshair

i have this device that mounts on a door with a chin strap, a pully and a counter weight system and i am supposed to use it twice a day to relieve stress on the disks and nerves

5:34 am

crosshair

barring this type of phisyotherapy the doc says all is left is surgery:(

5:34 am

sprite

am thinking... you'd want to sit as straight as possible... can you use a... jeezzz how to describe it... let me think

5:35 am

crosshair

i am getting a fresh Ct scan of the area on tuesday and we will see what has developed in there over the last few years

5:36 am

crosshair

cat is destroying the kitchen brb

5:37 am

puglet

Upset cat! It wants fed NOW

5:37 am

Biltong

Could I have a clue for the re7, please? Have got the 'hermit'

5:38 am

puglet

to stick together

5:39 am

Biltong

ty, puglet. All this time I've been concentrating on the re in the bottom r/h corner, lol

5:39 am

sprite

I hope things will be ok, crossy. I can't find a picture of what I mean. Bear with me, will try it in words.

5:39 am

crosshair

i am back.cat is fed

5:39 am

sprite

ok, good boss, crossy :)

5:40 am

crosshair

the cats have me well trained:)

5:41 am

sprite

what I mean is a plank that you can set at an angle, crossy, with a clamp on the top rim that will hold your book or paper. It enables you to sit up straight and work in front of you, in stead of having you bend over and work at desk level.

5:42 am

crosshair

ahh,i understand,sprite. however all the class work these days is done on computer and sadly i am the type that must look directly at the keyboard to use it effectivly

5:43 am

crosshair

i could raise the monitor up,but the keyboard itself would still be down low

5:43 am

sprite

oh dear. Guess I just made very clear I am old school, lol. I don't know a good solution for the keyboard, alas. Putting it in an angle ok to see would make you twist your wrists too much.

5:44 am

crosshair

and you are right in that the ergonomics of the classroom itself are terrible

5:46 am

sprite

you might want to invest in a typing course, then, crossy. Learning to type blind wouldn't cost you too much time and you would benefit the rest of your study and life.

5:46 am

crosshair

but enough about my woes.i must endure and do my neck exercises and hope for the best.lets see how this grid is looking

5:46 am

sprite

the grid is fun today. Lots of surprise finds.

5:48 am

gran

5:49 am

sprite

a hermit, gran, and hi

5:49 am

Biltong

Fun indeed, sprite. Now I have to leave this grid and get some ironing done :( Take care all

5:49 am

puglet

bye Bil

good luck with that, Biltong, lol. *hugs* and enjoy your day.

5:49 am

5:51 am

crosshair

mmm,i can almost mount my neck stretcher device to my desk..

5:51 am

sprite

not sure yet, pug. Babble first, then some laundry I think. I have a huge backlog for folding. And if I have enough courage, opening some bills...

5:51 am

puglet

Crossy is the problem with your neck the same as what Peyton Manning had

5:51 am

sprite

wow crossy. Work and stretch at the same time :)

5:52 am

crosshair

do what i do with bills,sprite. put them all in a hat, and once a month close your eyes,reach in a choose one

5:52 am

crosshair

5:52 am

5:53 am

puglet

Hes a QB for broncos

5:53 am

crosshair

my problem is three disks are herniated and they are rubbing/pinching on nerves

5:53 am

sprite

sounds very painful, crossy. I have one and it can be hell already. Can't imagine 3.

5:54 am

crosshair

oddly enough i got it while doing my exercises 10 years ago

5:54 am

sprite

:(

5:55 am

puglet

and I know sitting at a desk cant help that at all

5:55 am

crosshair

crossy had a 6 pack abs stomach then.i was using the nordic track ab-works machine ,doing my reps..98...99....CRUNCH! then i felt a stabbing pain and lost all feeling in my arms

5:56 am

sprite

oh god, dear crossy. That is awful.

5:56 am

crosshair

now instead of a six pack stomach, crossy has a keg! lol

5:57 am

sprite

see, there was room for improvement there ;)

5:57 am

puglet

well I got a barrel(55 gal. drum)

5:57 am

crosshair

sigh..i was 162 pounds and all lean muscle...

5:57 am

crosshair

bickering (divkering?)

6:08 am

sounds like the eateries in your area leave much to be desired, ruby

6:08 am

6:10 am

puglet

wb Ruby

6:10 am

rubyfoo

he can be such a jerk. I know I should always be nice as he is certainly doddering, but it's difficult when he totally chnges the things he has told me in the past

6:11 am

sprite

I feel for you both, ruby. It is a tough situation.

6:12 am

crosshair

"oh,i did not know.is he failing mentally? that can be very tough on both of you

6:12 am

puglet

yes it is very hard to deal with mental illness. It takes alot of strength

6:13 am

sprite

from what ruby tells, it seems he is living in the past more and more and loses his grasp of the now. And he is often scared and confused, and he treats ruby nasty.

6:13 am

sprite

nastily*

6:13 am

crosshair

mmm,victorisa grandfather had same sort of thing

6:13 am

rubyfoo

he is justy old (88) and whether it's Alzheimer's or h=just d age, doesn't really matter, but he is locked into the past and can't remember anything recent Also has no interest

6:13 am

renfield

that is the beginning of dementia

6:14 am

crosshair

indeed

6:14 am

crosshair

there are medications to ease this and slow it down

6:14 am

6:14 am

crosshair

or at least get him to smoke a joint after breakfast lol

6:15 am

crosshair

level him off for the afternoon;)

6:15 am

rubyfoo

that's a good idea; I even have some, but he's never done any drugs in his life!

6:15 am

renfield

88 - then it is probably Alzheimera - mi madre had it as did my fil - and i know exactly what you are going theough

6:15 am

Good evening all.

6:15 am

renfield

5th knee - yes lynxxx

6:18 am

crosshair

ouch@ knee surgery

6:18 am

sprite

lyn: okayish. Ups and downs, of course. The therapy is brutal and I have trouble managing the ptsd. But Tim is doing better and the family therapy is well underway towards the 'systemic' sessions (with all 4 of us). So I must not complain ;)

6:19 am

crosshair

when our son was younger, sprite, we went to family therapy sessions for 2 years.it was a godsend

6:19 am

6:22 am

crosshair

yes, being strong with your mate while going through kid issues is a must,my son was almost in jail several times tween his 12-and 17th year

6:23 am

crosshair

we arranged a "tough love" session with our local police dept and had him "arrested" and jailed for a night to see the real deal

6:23 am

sprite

bye pug, *hugs* for you and have a good day

6:23 am

sprite

didn't know that, crossy, how wonderful you managed to work through that. My love and I are close and in harmony. At the session yesterday the therapist commented on that, even. They rarely see it nowadays.

6:24 am

crosshair

he had no idea.he thought that night stemmed from a window he broke a week before

6:24 am

renfield

{{{el grande hugs to you sprite}}} - i've been away so very long i've not been aware of anyone's probs - this is a caring group, i must say <3

6:24 am

crosshair

it is what gets you through,sprite

6:24 am

rubyfoo

that is wonderful, sprite,, you have done well in that regard.

6:25 am

crosshair

how old is your son,sprite?

6:25 am

sprite

and he also said that we should be proud of our parenting job so far. We looked at him very sceptical and said not, of course, since we needed to be there and obviously made a mess of things.
But he said it is going better so quickly, and that shows that we did a really good job. I find comfort in that.

6:25 am

lynxxx

and did the night in the cells have the right impact Cross?

6:25 am

sprite

it is, ren, and you are part of it :) Am holding you and yours in my prayers too.

6:25 am

sprite

crossy: he is 17 (going on 65)

6:26 am

crosshair

it did.i told them(the cops) to let it all out and give him the full treatment

6:26 am

rubyfoo

renfield: used to sail to the Bhamas a lot and loved it there, escept for the seasonal mosquitoes

6:26 am

crosshair

yes,17.perfect time to get it all ironed out

6:26 am

sprite

wow crossy, that is severe. But sounds like it opened his eyes.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

we lives in Miami and it was a short hop by seaplane to eet my husband and his sailboat when he and his buddy went off for weeks at a time

6:27 am

renfield

yes...the mosquitoes lyn - always at dusk

6:27 am

crosshair

and you will open your sons as well

6:27 am

rubyfoo

lived* meet* terrible typing

6:28 am

sprite

I truly hope so, crossy. Am more confident now than before... we seem to make progress already and we haven't even started the full family sessions. If all goes well, the first one will be Friday.

6:28 am

sprite

we are all babblers, ruby, don't worry... we can puzzle out what you mean ;)

6:28 am

sprite

ren, how are you holding up under it all?

6:28 am

crosshair

yup.no spelling nazi's here

6:29 am

rubyfoo

after my chemo, one of the first places I went was to the Bahamas and the rum punches used to make me pass out

6:29 am

lynxxx

your daughter is doing OK with it all Sprite?

6:29 am

sprite

lol crossy. I am, but only for myself and for books.

6:29 am

crosshair

mmmmm, rum punch

6:30 am

rubyfoo

sometimes, DH and his buddy would have to carry me out of restaurants

6:30 am

renfield

a wee weary sprite - anxious to get through this one - we see a shrink - and he helps us focus on the future and handle the current conditions

6:30 am

hurshy

quite satisfactory

6:30 am

sprite

lyn, it is really hard on her as well. At least she and her brother have patched things up. And she will meet with our counsellor this week, and apart from this she will get personal coaching as well. Someone who is there for her alone, not one of the therapists we are seeing.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

chemo was OK and, although hard, gave me the ability to push on. It's 23 years now

6:31 am

sprite

very wise, ren. Almost impossible to get through without some support. *sends a truckload of helping angels and a boatful of energy cans to renfield*

6:31 am

sprite

am so happy you are with us, ruby. It must have been a brutal time.

6:31 am

sprite

hi hursh :) *hugs* How are you today?

6:31 am

hurshy

tired

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I was fortunate in being able to continue working through the whole ugly ess and the other people in the office were very supportive I would only take off one day, each time I had chemo

6:32 am

come to the island...

6:34 am

rubyfoo

and I just went out and picked raspberries (5!), cherry tomatoes (6) and purple plums (many) from my gARDEN. aND THERE ARE STILL A MILLION FLOWERS, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEGUN SNOWING ON THE MOUNTAINS AT NIGHT

6:35 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the shouting, but the garden (and dogs) make up for the rest

6:35 am

sprite

how delightful, ruby.

6:35 am

crosshair

we have already had snow here in a few select locations

6:35 am

rubyfoo

but you would have to carry ME, CROSSY

6:36 am

rubyfoo

time for the NYT puzzle

6:36 am

sprite

you are easy to carry, ruby, don't worry. Enjoy the rum. Hm, thinking of that... there should be a way I can send you a bottle of old jenever for the winter. Will check out the package.

6:37 am

sprite

enjoy the puzzle and a nap, ruby

6:37 am

crosshair

i will carry you ruby

6:37 am

rubyfoo

you arte such a sweetie, sprite. Did I tell you that we had houseguest who arrived, by cr, with nada. I was a bit shocked. You came here absolutely laden with all your gwenerous gifts and foodstuffs

6:37 am

crosshair

i could sling you over one shoulder and hubby over the other lol

6:37 am

sprite

oh my, I just found the 8 all by myself!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

stats for the 8, pls

6:38 am

sprite

bu8/65

6:38 am

rubyfoo

hubby weighs about 130 now. When we "started",he weighed about 185!

6:39 am

crosshair

lol.my right thigh weighs 130

6:39 am

sprite

that sounds strange to me, ruby. Can't imagine coming to people's home to stay and not bringing some gifts. I hated that at first I couldn't find anything for your husband. Was so happy we figured out the map and the fish.

6:40 am

sprite

he is wasting away, ruby... such a very old and sad man. Must be hard to watch for you.

6:40 am

crosshair

when i travel far,i always bring a bottle of our very own "collingwood" a nice single malt whiskey from our distillery right here in town

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I must admit that I was rather shocked. Whenit's my son, I guess I make allowances because he is so busy and comes here on standby. But they came by car from within France. Very weird

6:40 am

sprite

wow crossy :)

6:40 am

crosshair

yes,canadian mist does us proud

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Without $$, one can always bring a jar of homemade jam or a cheese

6:41 am

sprite

I like bringing gifts. Especially if I can manage to find things people are really happy with.

6:41 am

hurshy

maybe they aren't used to it

6:41 am

crosshair

yup.which ever one of you makes it to crossy's place first,please bring a jar of home made gooseberry jam

6:41 am

rubyfoo

to everybody: Sprite was the most generous houseguest we've ever had!

6:41 am

sprite

ruby, even if only a home-made card with kind words. Being attentive doesn't have to cost anything in money. Just in attention and care.

6:42 am

hurshy

i'm never a houseguest except like, at my mom's or my sister's, pretty much, so i might be like, not mindful of the expectations

6:42 am

rubyfoo

would red currants do or peaches in a pinch?

6:42 am

sprite

*plants gooseberry shrub so she can fulfill crossy's order in time*

6:42 am

crosshair

mmm,peaches in a pinch as well

6:42 am

rubyfoo

family is different, hurshy, but these were virtual strangers

6:43 am

sprite

nah, I am not buying that, hursh. If you would go somewhere else to stay for a while, you'd pack something you'd wanted to gift them with. Family or any place you visit a lot is different.

6:43 am

hurshy

right but i'm just saying if it's something you never do, you might not know, it might not occur to you. like, i didn't grow up with alcohol. so when i had my wedding, it didn't even cross my mind to serve alcohol. i didn't even realize that to a lot of people that seems really weird.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

amen, sprite

6:44 am

hurshy

esp if you happen to be a socially awkward person to begin with

6:44 am

sprite

I he4 you, hursh. Some things might indeed not occur to one if one is not used to them.

6:44 am

crosshair

if i go to someones and they are not a drinker i bring some soft apple cider from our very own presses

6:44 am

sprite

ooo I'd like that, crossy!

6:44 am

JBV

hello, dears - reading your lovely gift ideas - here's what my old dad used to say (in Sicilian, of course) - when you visit, your arms should be so full, you have to knock on the door with your feet

6:45 am

rubyfoo

time to go, {{big group hug}} and if you arrive here, hursy, I'll make allowances lol

6:45 am

we are in a huge apple belt hgere

JBV

(we often heard after someone visited empty-handed - LOL)

6:46 am

sprite

and hursh, I met you and didn't find you awkward at all. You were nice and charming and fun.

6:47 am

well,time to hit the showers and wet down this mass of muscle.back in a few min ladies...poink!

6:47 am

{{hurshy}}, I don't think you're awkard

glad you thought so sprite. :) sometimes i am more awkward though.

6:47 am

sprite

enjoy, crossy!

6:47 am

hurshy

i do better with people with whom i have things in common, of course.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

JBV, if you send me an e-mail, I can tell you the joke. It's in Fr, but I can translate

6:48 am

well, I can be awkward too. Most people are, sometimes, I think. But meeting you was awesome. I still smile when I think of it.

7:06 am

periwinkle

tyty for the ab words.

7:06 am

periwinkle

hi there ren

7:06 am

7:06 am

renfield

happy Saturday to you too, ren!

7:07 am

7:07 am

7:07 am

sprite

bye peri, have a good one

7:07 am

renfield

yup on the pb sprite - one of my fav - just cut it w/ nutella for the choco goombay day feeling

7:08 am

sprite

I don't like the taste of pb with anything sweet. But I wouldn't mind them on separate slices of bread :D

7:08 am

hurshy

aha

7:09 am

hurshy

phantom: resist

7:10 am

sprite

good one

7:10 am

sprite

I am miffed seabu4 isn't valid. I mean, seacow, right? seacalf? Works for me.

7:10 am

hurshy

and bugle

7:11 am

hurshy

seacow doesn't work either though

7:11 am

sprite

tried that too

7:11 am

hurshy

i think that's just a thing people casually call manatees - is it manatees?

7:12 am

renfield

we have manatees everywhere

7:12 am

renfield

yes they are the same hursh

7:12 am

sprite

ah, indeed. Quite different from the dutch then. Will try and remember.

7:12 am

hurshy

ok so yeah, people call manatees sea cows but i think it is two words

7:13 am

hurshy

there, 90%. now i can list.

7:13 am

sprite

ah ok! That makes sense. That is a very tough thing to learn for a foreigner, which words are separate and which must be together.

7:13 am

sprite

yay hursh

7:14 am

sprite

I mean, a while and awhile... I still haven't figured it out

7:14 am

hurshy

neither have most americans.

7:14 am

sprite

lol!

7:15 am

hurshy

there was an article on slate the other day titled "can 'infer' mean 'imply'?"

7:15 am

hurshy

and i was just like, no. no it can't.

7:15 am

sprite

I would say no too... there is a difference

7:15 am

hurshy

one is a thing you do in your head whilst making your own judgments, and one is a thing you do whilst trying to communicate to others, so clearly totally different

7:16 am

hurshy

so other than the fact that they are two five letter words that begin with i...

7:16 am

hurshy

half the things that happen in english are just the result of people doing it wrong and then that becomes the new right. ugh.

7:16 am

MLFAN17

good morning stats for the i please?

7:17 am

sprite

yes. The infer thing is what you do with the facts you have available, I believe. And the imply thing is hinting at something without naming it.

7:17 am

7:27 am

fires are a real big issue there, right lyn? I think it is every year? Such dryness allover. Glad you are in a safer spot.

7:28 am

sprite

if I had my way, I'd always dress in those colours, crossy. Combined with black.

7:28 am

zoozzoom

Getting colder here too, Crossy..Yuk..i still have not turned my heating on yet..it is 15 in the house..so sat here with a duvet around mw..the energy prices have just gone up another 8.2 per cent..so will hold off putting heating for a while.

7:29 am

zoozzoom

My fathers sister, Crossy..died of cancer..only 52 years old.

7:29 am

sprite

we are lucky here as well. Worst that can happen here is flooding, and that is relatively rare.

7:29 am

zoozzoom

Damn..PB for me...sorry, all.

7:29 am

lynxxx

Fires are usually an issue - depends a lot on the amount of fuel - or undergrowth - and of course we get the usual number of morons that get their kicks from lighting fires.

7:29 am

sprite

way way tooo young, zooz. And you are excused for the PB. Unless you want to go there and partake of all the goodies I stocked.

7:29 am

zoozzoom

62 sorry.

7:30 am

crosshair

mm.yes it is tough.i survived 3 cancers and i am just creeping up on 50.thanks largely to loved ones and universal health care

7:30 am

7:30 am

zoozzoom

7:36 am

zoozzoom

Thank you, Lynxxx..she was comfortable near the end..thank goodness.

7:36 am

zoozzoom

Very true, Crossy hahaha

7:37 am

sprite

If you've been searching for another name for the nape of your neck, try "niddick."

7:39 am

zoozzoom

Yes i know, Sprite...apparently near the end she looked at her husband and said she was scared of what might be..i just could not take listening to that..so hard..but at least there is no more suffering or waiting for the next chapter.

7:39 am

sprite

7:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hi. I am missing a lot of babble life but trying to do my external life better.

7:41 am

zoozzoom

My niddick is rather achey today!

7:41 am

crosshair

fell comforted in the fact that death is harder on those left behind than those who are failing.i have faced death many times and it no longer holds any fear for me because what is death? it is just the next stage of life.

7:41 am

sprite

what is a niddick? Do I dare ask?

7:42 am

zoozzoom

Geez, Kap was your babble account hacked some time ago too? if i remember correctly.

7:42 am

crosshair

another term for nape of the neck,sprite

7:42 am

sprite

7:42 am

sprite

ah, thanks crossy. All the things I learn from babble!

7:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't know- perhaps I should not have used the same two pwds for everything, huh?

7:42 am

zoozzoom

I like that, Crossy, Very nice.

7:43 am

zoozzoom

Ahh..now there is a lesson for everyone to learn, Kap.

7:43 am

sprite

I have one for things that have to stay secret. And one for things I don't mind if they get hacked.

7:44 am

crosshair

i use same two words for everything,kaplan.i just add two different numbers on the end of it

7:44 am

sprite

yep, with variations, me too, crossy

7:44 am

herinfernallady

Passwords are better if you mix them up with numbers in them

7:45 am

sprite

yes, numbers and things like *&^%^%#@

7:45 am

sprite

and capitals too

7:45 am

crosshair

or if you want some real fun,take a password you like,run it through a translater,yiddish perhaps then paste it

7:45 am

sprite

7:46 am

zoozzoom

I have numbers, captial letters, lower case,..and loooong.

7:46 am

herinfernallady

Hello girlie.

Hello, Girlie :-)

8:19 am

renfield

o-o, i have a freind who works in the mental facility of a prisoin, they had a new doctor come in and change all the meds for the patients - on a full moon - and the mental ward went beserko....rought nite for the crew

8:20 am

girlie

hi hi :)

8:20 am

zoozzoom

BBL

8:22 am

o-o

You have had to endure so much, ren. I seek oblivion of the highest order ... you persevere

8:22 am

crosshair

we have the opposite.there are so few mental facillity beds that they end up set loose on the street too son and fill up the prisons

8:23 am

girlie

watching a program on pregnant women in prison here .. seems like a theme

8:25 am

crosshair

i watched one of those.prisoner was 4 months along and 21 and in for 40 years.no family that wants to deal with her,so she gave birth,then back in jail for the rest of her time.the baby will be over 35 when she gets out

8:25 am

crosshair

child became ward of the state

8:26 am

o-o

What is so problematical for me is despite the inordinate incarceration in the US, the lawbreaking narcissists and psychopaths who purport to represent us do so with impunity

8:26 am

girlie

It is very hard watching.

8:27 am

Anniebrook

well said, o-o and quite sad

8:28 am

crosshair

do as i say,not as i do eh?

8:28 am

Anniebrook

Yet, these clowns are trying to kill the ACA and they get free health care for life

8:28 am

Matches

hint for first re7/36

8:29 am

Matches

nm got it

8:29 am

Anniebrook

clue please, Matches

8:29 am

crosshair

it stuns the rest of us to see a few malcontents within your government bring the entire thing grininding to a halt because of obama starting you on the road to universal health care for all.it was a baby step but they could not even tolertae that

8:30 am

Scrabbler

It is embarrassing.

8:31 am

MollyL

re7...someone who lives sheltered away from the rest of the world

8:31 am

girlie

It's fairly frightening actually

8:31 am

crosshair

obama care is much like our old OHIP system we had just before true universal health care began

8:32 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Molly, didnt see the re on the bottom of the grid

8:33 am

crosshair

it is far from perfect,but no one sits there waiting for a small medical condition to become a 20,000 dollar crisis either

8:33 am

Anniebrook

I just lost my secondary health coverage and now I have to spend over $250 for coverage

8:33 am

Anniebrook

a month

8:33 am

crosshair

near the end of OHIP i was paying just over 200 for a family of 3

8:34 am

crosshair

now we all just pay at tax time and every single person is covered.easier that way

8:35 am

girlie

ok we pay about $280 a month for 2 of is in AU, but if anything catastrophic happened it would be covered by public health insurance

8:35 am

Anniebrook

crossy, can you go to the doctor of your choice?

8:35 am

o-o

60% of Americans want to throw all of the bums in Congress â€“ including their own representatives â€“ out in the next election.

8:36 am

crosshair

yes i can annie

8:37 am

Anniebrook

thanks

8:37 am

crosshair

but i do not bounce around too much with our GP but i will range far and wide till i get the speciallist i want

8:38 am

hurshy

but what do you do with all the rage you feel about the fact that poor people aren't getting what's coming to them? i mean, how do you vent all that anger at seeing them get health care they don't deserve?

8:38 am

crosshair

why do they not deserve it?

8:39 am

hurshy

they don't work hard enough

8:39 am

crosshair

we all will need health care at some point in our lives.do we just let the poor lay down and die? no we do not

8:39 am

hurshy

but it's the american way

8:39 am

Anniebrook

How do you change the situation? Let them pay for their health like everyone el4.

8:39 am

crosshair

would you have the poor just die off and decrease the surface population, hurshy?

8:39 am

crosshair

well,it is not our way

8:40 am

crosshair

you you are too rarified to help those in need, you may as well jump off a bridge now

8:40 am

hurshy

crossy, hurshy doesn't think all these things. hurshy is playing a role to show how some americans really do think, and what has gotten in the way of us having what you have.

8:40 am

crosshair

ahh ok

8:40 am

crosshair

gotcha

8:41 am

crosshair

ahh yes "i can afford my own health care.why should i pay for him with my taxes" sort of thing

8:41 am

hurshy

yeah i was doin' my colbert thing

8:41 am

o-o

I just got interrogated by the chair of the VA disruptive behavior committee ... for disagreeing with comments made in a waiting room. My sin was to speak up at all since the previous commenters were in agreement

8:41 am

crosshair

well,it is that type of thinking that has the entire us government shut down this very moment

8:42 am

hurshy

indeed, it is.

8:42 am

hurshy

i definitely am encouraging my husband to look at canadian jobs come job search time next year.

8:43 am

crosshair

now other copmassionate care programs are suffering there also it is a terrible spiral

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Name that talk show host Philbin!

Hoot, hoot, Owl.

8:45 am

Anniebrook

no

8:45 am

8:45 am

SORRY, THERE ARE 2 GH WORDS

8:45 am

Morning All

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

ty annie

8:45 am

hurshy

sc did you find the ph6 and 7 right off?

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Buon giorno, Hego.

8:45 am

o-o

I told my congressional delegation their ought to be some way to claim their salaries as charitable contributions.

8:46 am

hego

Hiya Scrabs!

8:46 am

o-o

there

8:46 am

crosshair

as a MD ,scrabbs is it not better to treat a condition promptly that the person waiting 6 month untill it is in crisis mode? does it not cost the system less for timely medical treatments?

8:47 am

crosshair

i have us friends waiting on a medical issue till it becomes serious enough for the clinics in their states.that should not be

8:47 am

Scrabbler

And prevention is even better--smoking cessation, healthy nutrition, exercise/fitness, substance abuse prevention.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Most common adult medical problems are related to lifestyle problems. Lung and heart disease, diabetes, alcoholism, substance abuse....

8:49 am

o-o

How do you prevent congress from starting wars? How do we reduce or eliminate domestic violence?

8:49 am

crosshair

he is in PA and he is slowly going deaf and the room spins with vetigo when he gets up too fast.they will not look at him without coverage or unless he is totally deaf.how stupid

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Heck, we see bad lifestyles affecting kids now. Childhood obesity is epidemic and we see type II diabetes in kids now. Childhood obesity, childhood behavior issues ("ADHD") = family problems.

8:50 am

crosshair

so,he sits to wait and go deaf and meet the criteria

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

you mean he cannot pay anything at all>

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Cross. He needs an MRI of his brain. He might have an acoustic neuroma!

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Medicaid will pay for him

8:50 am

o-o

The war on women is escalating ...

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

when my aunt was cirtially ill, the family negotiated with the doctors a payment plan they could afford.

8:50 am

crosshair

i told him to pay 40 dollars,get out of country blue cross and come here for a two week visit

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, o-o

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

then again, they did not go out and buy nintendo, 5 50 inch tv s ipads and say they had no $

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

and crossy, did he do so?

8:51 am

LuvWordGames

while we're talking medical care, is it legal for US citizens to get their meds from Canada?

8:52 am

crosshair

i do not know all his financial details TO but just he is not getting timely treatment

8:52 am

crosshair

do not know luv

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i think so, luv, more danger than legal. bur we actually found costco to be as cheap or even cheaper on common meds. really

8:53 am

LuvWordGames

I'll have to check that TO, although I don't know if it would be considered a common med that my son takes

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

because if that is legal and he does not take you up on it, there would seem to be other factors at work.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

no amount of insurance will change attitudes about health.

8:54 am

crosshair

the orphan drugs are where we see a lot of US and canadian patients try to fill the rx on the other side of the border.it is shocking what they are worth

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

no harm to try, luv. i did the research for my dad and it was true

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Bottom row is grey. Woot, woot.

8:54 am

o-o

The largest daily in my state will not publish my letters to the editor regarding gun measures because I stated my congressional delegation prized guns over life .... there are approximately 86 homicides a day in the US

8:55 am

crosshair

well.keep handing out those hand guns like candy and it will continue

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Hint for the U, please?

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, rats, thanks for the remionder, they are giving them out today and if i late they will run out. later.

8:56 am

crosshair

my brother now live in AZ and says getting a gun and a concealed permit is avbout as hard as supersizing yer fires

8:56 am

hego

stomach sore

8:56 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, bad stomach ailment

8:56 am

crosshair

NV sorry

8:56 am

LuvWordGames

ul 5/14 - stomach condition

8:56 am

Scrabbler

TY. I didn't go in that direction.

8:56 am

o-o

In the not to distant future, gun-related deaths will accede traffic deaths ... including those where alcohol is a factor

8:57 am

o-o

too

8:57 am

crosshair

i believe it

8:58 am

crosshair

now a couple no longer needs to just have a fight.now when the anger boils over they can just slap leather and unload a few rounds at each other

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Time for a break. 135/82

8:59 am

crosshair

saw one on some american news programme where 2 guys had a fender bender,go out of their cars,yelled at each other then killed each other in a gun fight .all in less than 45 seconds

9:00 am

crosshair

come back soon scwabby.i will try to be talking about breakfast by then

9:00 am

o-o

I do not care about labels ... as long as loyalty of representatives to power and their party is greater than the best interests of the their constituents ... they do not belong in office

9:01 am

o-o

I know ... I am very naive

9:01 am

crosshair

or a lovely hike in the woods i plan for today or tomorrow

9:03 am

crosshair

only power you have o-o is your vote.next election there should be 100% usa voter turnout to clean house

9:04 am

crosshair

us and canada should have mandatory voting like our friends down u8nder

9:05 am

o-o

voting is always an attempt to determine the lesser of two evils ... when both candidates are evil .. a write-in for the welcome mat is plausible.

9:05 am

crosshair

if you hate everyone on the ballot,just spoil the vote.that way you say to all that you were there but all the prospects were terrible

9:06 am

crosshair

or have a space that says none of the above.and if none of the above wins,get rid of all the candidates and start with a fresh batch

9:08 am

crosshair

anyways.time to putter in the kitchen and read a bit of a good book.tc my friends

9:19 am

Anniebrook

jmcnrick

i got a call from some friends yesterday that i hadn't invited saying they wanted to come. . .i had put on the invitation that i was sure i had forgotten someone so to pass it on. . . i was so happy they called. ..

10:02 am

jmcnrick

the hard part was going through the notes and sign in book from the memorial . . .hooking up with old friends and the party will be the fun part

10:02 am

welki

bonus!

10:02 am

flosey

last weekend we attended such a memorial - it was an occasion of remembering fun times, funny times - various friends related some great times we all had

10:03 am

jmcnrick

i like memorials which have both good memories and jokes and grief and sadness. . . they need both elements to me. . .

10:04 am

jmcnrick

but this is going to be mainly the good memories and jokes. . . the grieving is mostly done

10:04 am

flosey

not many of his 'old' friends, he came here, as we did, after retirement. He did teach art and horsemanship here so they were new friends

10:05 am

jmcnrick

we've had to have fires all week, seems too early, especially after no spring and such a short summer

12:01 pm

hego

the Alps are my very favorite mountains.

12:02 pm

rubyfoo

We don't get bright colors like in the US, no sumac or maples on the hillside. We do have sheep, however, brought down each fall to crop the field across our road,

12:02 pm

rubyfoo

It is very beautiful here, even in the poopy rain

12:02 pm

hego

How are you today, Ruby?

12:02 pm

rururocks

you must be a dyed in the wool fan of sheep time ruby

12:03 pm

hego

12:03 pm

rubyfoo

I'm OK, thanks, but feeling sorry for my husband who is starting to lose hiss middle-term as well as his short[term memory

12:03 pm

rubyfoo

I'm his external memory stick

12:03 pm

rubyfoo

baaaa

12:03 pm

hego

that can't be easy for you either, tho.

12:04 pm

rururocks

don't they have drugs to help that ruby?

12:04 pm

hego

Aren't we all?

12:04 pm

hego

there are some medications.

12:04 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know and, since he doesn't want to see his MD, there's nothing to be done. He's 88, after all

12:05 pm

rururocks

wow.. then a little memory loss is sort of normal isn't it?

12:05 pm

hego

Oh, my. i had no idea.

12:05 pm

rubyfoo

I think so, they used to call it "old age" lol

12:05 pm

hego

Not surprising then.

12:05 pm

hego

right Ruby

12:06 pm

rururocks

I hate it when I walk into a room and try to remember why i went in there to begin with :D

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think it's Alzheimer's, but don't see that giving it a name would make any difference

12:06 pm

hego

senile dementia

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

what sczres me is when I do what ruru just said. If we both lose it, the house will burn down! lol, ruefully

12:06 pm

hego

Ruru, i've been doing that for years.

12:07 pm

rururocks

me too

12:07 pm

hego

then i have to return to the place I was to remember.

12:07 pm

rubyfoo

I'm 70 and still remember almost everything which is both good (great memories) and bad (old hurts)

12:08 pm

hego

I remember old stuff perfectly.

12:09 pm

MLFAN17

12:29 pm

Judi

Hiya, neighbors!

12:36 pm

rururocks

hey jude

12:36 pm

rururocks

sorry had to fix the toilet

12:37 pm

Judi

You have my sympathies, ruru. I see your toilet and raise you steam cleaning the carpets!

12:37 pm

rururocks

holy crap.. you outdid me judi once again

12:38 pm

Judi

I'm moving furniture and vacuuming. Hubby's following up with the super steamer sucker thingy. Our backs will hate us tomorrow.

12:38 pm

Rows

hey babblers :) long time no see, for most of you

12:39 pm

rururocks

hello rows

12:39 pm

Rows

how's it going?

12:39 pm

Judi

Hiya, Rows!

12:40 pm

Judi

Same old, same old. Howzabout you?

12:40 pm

Rows

doing all right

12:40 pm

Rows

having a lazy Saturday even though i have work to do

12:41 pm

Judi

*hands Rows a Swiffer * Get to work!

12:41 pm

Rows

lol i wish we had swiffers here...

12:41 pm

Rows

no, mostly i have work work to do, not housework

12:42 pm

Judi

No Swiffers! Good God! What 3rd world mud hut do you live in?

12:42 pm

Rows

well, i live in Honduras

12:43 pm

Rows

so yes, i live in a 3rd world country

12:43 pm

Rows

though i have a pretty nice house, made of concrete, not mud

12:43 pm

Judi

Wow! How did I know that?

12:43 pm

Rows

haha

12:43 pm

Rows

i have a blank flag?

12:45 pm

Rows

anyway, yeah, no swiffers here... just old fashioned mops. makes cleaning our floors LOTS of fun

12:45 pm

Rows

and by fun i mean work...

12:48 pm

smithchick

cems

12:48 pm

MollyL

Damn, every woman needs a man who will follow along with the super steamer sucker thingy.

12:49 pm

Rows

haha

12:49 pm

Rows

yeah, where's mine?

12:50 pm

rururocks

I don't do steamer sucker thingys

1:05 pm

Dorens

ru? you don't do steamer sucker thingies? I wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole....

1:08 pm

MimiCat

Dorens, apparently ruru wouldn't either.....

1:09 pm

sammysmom

dammmmmmmmmmmm.. i think this country is in danger of a civil war and it could start any minute

1:10 pm

MollyL

Civil war or revolutionary war?

1:10 pm

sammysmom

because of the gov shutdown, food stamps and wic are no longer functional

1:11 pm

sammysmom

lots of people are hungry as it is and this will just make it worse

1:11 pm

Rows

yeah a lot of things aren't functional

1:12 pm

Rows

did you guys see the blizzard that happened in South Dakota?

1:12 pm

Rows

those people are just left on their own without any government help because the government isn't doing shit right now

1:12 pm

Rows

makes me so angry

1:13 pm

sammysmom

i am ready to pull down the shades-lock the doors- and assume the fetal position

1:13 pm

MollyL

The government, and that includes the "president" needs to come to some kind of agreement.

1:13 pm

Rows

don't fucking have a job that people's lives would fall apart without you, if you aren't gonna fucking do your job

1:14 pm

Rows

sorry, i don't normally swear that much, but this makes me so angry

1:14 pm

MimiCat

Everyone needs to write their state reps and tell them if they want to KEEP their jobs, they'd better start DOING their jobs....I already have written.

1:15 pm

Rows

kind of hard for me to do from Honduras, i'm afraid

1:16 pm

Rows

but i will look into it

1:16 pm

MimiCat

I also told them that instead of cutting benefits to the middle class and seniors, they need to make the wealthy segment finally pay back some of the money they made through government loopholes.

1:17 pm

Rows

oh, hmm, looks like i can write an email

1:17 pm

Rows

i'm not sure what to say, though...

1:18 pm

MimiCat

Just say what you think, Rows. Feel free to use the two suggestions I just posted. I told mine also that I'll be surprised if ANY incumbents win their seats next elections.

1:19 pm

ChrissieDee

Try using your rant from below Rows, sounded heartfelt to me

1:19 pm

MollyL

That is the sad thing. The people keep re-electing those who have done nothing to make our country better.

1:20 pm

MimiCat

It is simply way past time to stop all the political posturing and really DO something for the American people. They are supposed to be public servants, after all.

1:21 pm

Judi

I'm back. Had to steam clean the stairs. Arrrgh. Industrial strength pain killers and more coffee for an afternoon snack.

1:21 pm

MimiCat

I'd love to see thousands of recall elections across the country....but that will never happen.

1:22 pm

MollyL

They serve the lobbies that line their pockets.

1:22 pm

Judi

Anyway, Rows. No offense intended regarding my "mud hut" comment. I'm fully aware from reading my National Geographic that you probably live in a grass hut.

1:22 pm

Rows

emailed my representative

1:23 pm

Rows

haha i'm not sure if you're joking or not, Judi... the houses here are made of concrete, i thought i already said that...

1:23 pm

Rows

i didn't take offense

1:23 pm

Rows

but i'm just confused now

1:23 pm

Judi

I've come back to government bashing! Well tally ho! Release the hounds. Throw the bums out and rage against the machine! They all suck like my steam cleaner.

1:23 pm

MimiCat

Good for you, Rows.

1:23 pm

Rows

thanks for suggesting it

1:23 pm

Judi

I know, Rows. Just throwing out glib little comments. S'what I do.

1:24 pm

Rows

okay

1:24 pm

Rows

yeah, i basically said that a lot of bad things are happening now, and if they don't start doing their jobs, they're not going to keep them

1:24 pm

Rows

i'm not going to vote for people who don't do the job they're hired for

1:24 pm

MimiCat

Living in Arizona is really a challenge for me politically. It's like someone took a giant hook and grabbed Alabama of the 60s and dropped it in the west...yep...that bad.

1:25 pm

Rows

eww

1:25 pm

MimiCat

Some of these people lean so far to the right I think it might be possible for them to fall over in New Mexico!

1:26 pm

MimiCat

Not California, though...they'd just be pushed back to Arizona REALLY HARD!

1:27 pm

Rows

i don't know

1:27 pm

Rows

i don't really know much of what's going on in California right now, even though it's my home state

1:27 pm

Rows

i haven't lived there in over two years... been outside the US

1:28 pm

Judi

There is definitely a wide polarity in the gov these days. Far left vs. far right. It's like two magnets repelling each other.

1:28 pm

Rows

but i do know at least the city i came from is pretty sane

1:28 pm

MimiCat

And repelling US altogether!

1:28 pm

Rows

all this shit just makes me not really care to return to the US, anyway

1:29 pm

Judi

California is among some of the worst states as far as economy, etc. right now, Rows.

1:29 pm

Rows

yeah

1:29 pm

Rows

that's why i can't live there... can't get a job

1:29 pm

Judi

Trust me, Rows. You're better off in Honduras right now.

1:29 pm

Rows

oh i know

1:29 pm

Rows

that's why i'm here

1:29 pm

Judi

My husband know I'm only HALF kidding when I say we should seek political asylum in New Zealand.

1:30 pm

Rows

i may just not return to the US at all, honestly... i've been happy living abroad

1:30 pm

Rows

but i still can't watch what's happening in my home country and not want to do anything to help if i can

1:30 pm

MimiCat

I'm with you on that one, Judi!

1:30 pm

Rows

it's maddening

1:30 pm

Judi

Texas is still relatively safe, so I hear. LOL!

1:31 pm

Judi

What do you do on Honduras, Rows?

1:31 pm

Judi

For a living, I mean.

1:31 pm

Rows

i'm a teacher

1:31 pm

Rows

i specialize in English as a foreign language, and i'm teaching kindergarten

1:31 pm

Rows

i lived in China for 2 years before this

1:31 pm

Judi

Oh, what fun! That must be very gratifying.

1:32 pm

MimiCat

I understand they pay BIG money for that in Japan and China, Rows.

1:32 pm

Rows

it's definitely a satisfying careeer

1:32 pm

Rows

career even

1:32 pm

Rows

yeah i may return to Asia after this, since i need to make more money next year so i can pay off my student loans

1:32 pm

Rows

this is the last year i can defer them

1:32 pm

Judi

Do you speak Chinese and Spanish?

1:32 pm

MimiCat

OMG---is that YOU, Rows? I didn't even realize you had moved!!!

1:32 pm

Rows

yes, it is :)

1:33 pm

Rows

i have been away for a while!

1:33 pm

Rows

haha

1:33 pm

Rows

was wondering if you'd forgotten me, but i has been a while

1:33 pm

Rows

it has*

1:33 pm

MimiCat

So good to talk to you again!

1:33 pm

Judi

Globe trotter!

1:33 pm

Rows

i speak Spanish really well, and i speak Chinese conversationally somewhat

1:33 pm

Rows

you too, Mimi :)

1:34 pm

Judi

I'm impressed, Rows. I'm 49 and I think I've finally mastered English. *smug*

1:34 pm

Rows

haha

1:34 pm

Rows

i studied Spanish extensively throughout high school and university

1:35 pm

Rows

so that helps with the Spanish

1:35 pm

Rows

Chinese i just picked up while living there, so i speak broken Chinese

1:35 pm

MimiCat

I haven't been here much either since I started the new job....radiology transcription at home. I've been missing so many people.

1:35 pm

Rows

ahh

1:35 pm

Rows

how is it going?

1:35 pm

Judi

I would think Chinese would be very difficult - especially writing and reading. All those symbols... yikes!

1:36 pm

Rows

well i can hardly read and write it at all

1:36 pm

Rows

i can read more than i can write

1:36 pm

Rows

but still

1:36 pm

MimiCat

Mostly good except for when I must try to transcribe the crazy doc whom I've named "the alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs."

1:36 pm

Rows

speaking and listening, though, isn't as hard as it would seem, especially being around it every day all day

1:36 pm

Rows

haha Mimi

1:37 pm

Judi

LOL. Remember you talking about that doc before, mimi. I feel sorry for you. Transcribing is hard enough without dealing with a strange accent.

1:39 pm

MimiCat

She's AMERICAN, Judi....just NUTS. Never in 40 years have I heard anyone this bad...even foreign docs. Several other transcription services turned down her work. My boss somehow can transcribe her and I told her that made me worry about her....

1:39 pm

Judi

Ooh. Just found the 8. *smug x 2 *

1:39 pm

Judi

lol. Proof that aliens live among us, Mimi.

1:40 pm

Rows

haha

1:40 pm

Rows

i like the 8

1:40 pm

MimiCat

She can't be fired either because she owns the practice. Let's change the subject...my blood pressure is rising!!!

1:41 pm

rururocks

*pulls out xanax and vodka*

1:41 pm

Rows

okay... we can talk about my vacation i'm taking next month

1:41 pm

Rows

a happy topic

1:41 pm

Rows

i'm going to Tela and probably Roatan

1:41 pm

Rows

going to try scuba diving, probably :)

1:41 pm

magzel

hi all. could I have a clue for the 8 and stats for the 7's

1:41 pm

MimiCat

((ruru)) Just the vodka, thanks...but you know me so well!

1:42 pm

Judi

Ruru from the Red Cross! He's here to make mother's little helper martinis.

1:42 pm

rururocks

Slips a little xanax into the martini anyways

1:42 pm

MimiCat

You always take such interesting trips, Rows...I'm absolutely GREEN with envy.

1:43 pm

Judi

Hi, Mag. Bu8: most lumpy.

1:43 pm

Rows

well, it's part of living in different countries

1:43 pm

Rows

gotta explore!

1:43 pm

Rows

i am excited... a friend of mine from the States is going to come visit and the two of us will go together

1:43 pm

rururocks

*buys red shoes to color coordinate Mimi's color change

1:43 pm

hego

hello again :)

1:44 pm

Judi

I've heard of Roatan but not Tela. I'd fail the geography quiz if you asked me where the were on the globe, though.

1:44 pm

rururocks

mr philbin is going to be pissed he's not allowed in enable

1:44 pm

MimiCat

Probably do need it, ruru...have a cat that has been making me crazy for 2 days, my best friend is sick and can't seem to get the right help, well, I could just go on and on......think I'll just DRINK!

1:44 pm

Rows

Tela is a beach on the northern coast of Honduras, on the Caribbean

1:44 pm

Rows

not far from Roatan

1:44 pm

hego

<--thinks Ru would look good in red shoes.

1:45 pm

MimiCat

((hego))

1:45 pm

Rows

i have to take a 2 hour bus from Tela to La Ceiba, and then take a ferry to Roatan

1:45 pm

rururocks

the shoes were for mimi hego.. :D

1:45 pm

Judi

Sounds lovely, Rows. Have a great time. Beware of jellyfish!

1:45 pm

Rows

thanks:)

1:45 pm

MimiCat

I don't mind sharing, ruru....if you're into that sort of thing.....

1:45 pm

hego

I know...just being bad. :)

1:45 pm

rururocks

and fire coral rows

1:45 pm

Judi

*snort*

1:45 pm

hego

lol Mimi

1:46 pm

rururocks

i look terrible in pumps hego.. you've seen my legs :D

1:46 pm

Rows

i think i'll be okay, as i will be taking a scuba diving course

1:46 pm

Rows

pretty sure the poeple running it will keep me safe

1:46 pm

Rows

i've never done scuba diving, so i have to take a course first

1:46 pm

Judi

I think your bus ride will probably be the scariest part of the trip, Rows.

1:46 pm

rururocks

LOL judi

1:46 pm

hego

lol Ruru

1:46 pm

Rows

no

1:46 pm

Rows

i've taken lots of chicken buses already in Honduras

1:46 pm

Rows

it's not scary

1:47 pm

Rows

it's how you get around here

1:47 pm

Judi

LOLOLOLO! How did you know I was picturing chickens running amok in the ai5's?

1:47 pm

Rows

lol they're called chicken buses :P

1:47 pm

Rows

and thanks for the clue :P

1:48 pm

rururocks

judi is just trying to egg you on rows

1:48 pm

Rows

haha

1:48 pm

MimiCat

Better get some lunch (as a vodka buffer) and let crazy cat out of the bedroom where he has been serving time out several times today. So good touching base. Rows, my next life, I want to be YOU! Bye and hugs all around.

1:48 pm

Judi

Hmm. Chickens as bus fare. Seems practical.

1:48 pm

hego

Not judi!!

1:49 pm

MimiCat

I had to stay just one minute longer to experience that pun, ruru!

1:49 pm

rururocks

well mimi...

1:49 pm

rururocks

I hope she doesn't miss the bus or she'll be plucked

1:50 pm

hego

and he's off!!

1:50 pm

Judi

You'll have to post a pic of the "chicken bus", Rows.

1:51 pm

rururocks

Judi

1:53 pm

MimiCat

1:53 pm

hego

1:54 pm

rururocks

1:55 pm
