3:55 am
worzel

that's fair enough Dianne. We have a National Lottery over here in UK and they doubled the price a couple months ago so me & my gf stopped playing and joined another lottery system and the first week I got a free ticket for getting 2 numbers and the next week I got £20 for 3 numbers - all within the first 2 weeks - so here's to the big one! (And don't worry - I'll remember my Babble friends!!!) xx
3:57 am
Dianne

Keep up that good work!
4:00 am

I stopped playing the lottery when we moved to France. It becomes ANOTHER compulsion, fear that if you don't play the same numbers every week, they'll comeup the one time you don't play

How cold is it there Worzel. It is bitterly cold but sunny here. At least we don't have sow
4:01 am

It's unseasonally warm - it's about 11 or 12 in the North of the UK at the moment - average for this time of year is around 5 or 6. Bit overcast but according to met office end of next week we are due a MASSIVE storm with winds over 100 miles an hour. That should be fun

We had a storm here about 2 weeks ago and everybody was like "OMG it's awful and so unexpected" even though it's the middle of winter and the Met Office had been issuing warning for over a week. Such a bunch of pansies in this country!!!

ruby you're not wrong there. I remember when I was small in 1977 we had a proper winter. We had 4 foot of lying snow and in some places 20 foot snowdrifts with temperatures down to minus 20 in places and my Dad walked 8 miles to work and 8 miles home again. These days if somebody sneezes in their car the whole road system grinds to a halt!!! Bunch of Mary's the lot of 'em!!!

and now it is time for crossy's all new brain teaser of the day!!!!
4:02 pm
crosshair

Six logicians finish dinner. The waitress asks, “Do you all want coffee?”

First logician: “I don’t know.”

Second logician: “I don’t know.”

Third logician: “I don’t know.”

Fourth logician: “I don’t know.”

Fifth logician: “I don’t know.”

Sixth logician: “No.”

Who gets coffee and why?
4:05 pm
PastorJ

if I were the waitress, they'd all get coffee - poured on their heads!
4:06 pm
PastorJ

(there are reasons i'm not a waitress)
4:07 pm
crosshair

lol
4:07 pm
PastorJ

does it have to do with the difference between "does every single one of you want coffee" and "are there some of y'all who want coffee"?
4:07 pm
crosshair

you are very close
4:08 pm
crosshair

I will give it 5 minutes and post the answer
4:09 pm
PastorJ

so i'll guess no one gets coffee, because the 6th one knows that the others do not all necessarily want it
4:11 pm
PastorJ

**watches clock anxiously**
4:12 pm
BerniceQ

All but the 6th logician get coffee.
4:12 pm
BerniceQ

If any of the first five didn't want coffee, he or she could have just said no. But if they wanted coffee, the only answer they could give would be "I don't know."
4:14 pm
crosshair

ok.time for the answer....
4:14 pm
crosshair

The waitress has asked, “Do you all want coffee?” In saying “I don’t know,” each of the first five logicians is saying, “I want coffee, and at this moment it does appear possible that all six of us do, but we don’t yet have enough information to say so definitively.”

The sixth logician doesn’t want coffee, so he’s able to say for certain that not everyone in the group does. So the waitress serves coffee to the first five logicians
4:14 pm
crosshair

the emphasis is on "do you ALL want coffee?"
4:15 pm
crosshair

not to be confused with some of the southern states and "do y'all want coffee?"
4:16 pm
PastorJ

I don't buy it! If I didn't want coffee, I COULD just say no, but I could also say I don't know. Maybe the puzzle should say "6 impeccably honest logicians finish dinner..."
4:16 pm
BerniceQ

No, Pastor, if you don't want coffee, you have to say no, because one person not wanting coffee necessarily means not all of them want it.
4:17 pm
PastorJ

oh, ok! i'll buy that!
4:17 pm
crosshair

well,me must assume at this pijnt that they are honest
4:18 pm
PastorJ

then please send 'em to my church! maybe they can teach folks to say what they really mean! ;->
4:18 pm
PastorJ

gotta go - hagd!

The experienced teacher who is helping me is wonderful and encouraging but doesn't sugar-coat. Which is good, but I wish she had had a magic bullet that would fix my beginner's mistakes.
8:12 pm
MimiCat

Min, when you click on my profile, does it pull up a Christmas picture with ornaments and a "saying?"
8:12 pm
stidmama

She doesn't, but she assures me that no one will miss out on going to Harvard due to my learning curve. :-)
8:12 pm
stidmama

8:15 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, stid.
8:15 pm
Minveryork

stidmama, I have been waiting to get FWs with somebody.
8:15 pm
stidmama

8:15 pm
Minveryork

8:17 pm
stidmama

the F words seemed really tough for me today
8:17 pm
Minveryork

I'd been saving that word since early on this morning stid.
8:18 pm
suefrad625

i am not getting the za word, it is making me bonkers
8:18 pm
stidmama

wow -- LOL I am never that patient. But I am glad you are!
8:19 pm
stidmama

it's a German word -- means temptress, I think.
8:19 pm
stidmama

full-bodied or well proportioned according to the dictionary.
8:19 pm
MimiCat

Let's see if the Xmas tree loaded this time.
8:19 pm
stidmama

I always just thought it meant Marilyn Monroe. LOL
8:19 pm
stidmama

Looks like it did, Mimi
8:19 pm
stidmama

but huge-big...
8:20 pm
MimiCat

Hooray!!! I am now going to go lie down and watch a movie and fall asleep! Like this one, Min and Stid?

8:51 pm
stidmama

YAY peach!
8:54 pm

8:54 pm
Nef

Good Evening Everyone. How are you all on this cold cold evening?
8:54 pm
suefrad625

i am off to shop online
8:54 pm
suefrad625

good night all from concord nc, usa
8:55 pm
Rows

aww stidmama thanks for asking
8:55 pm
Rows

i do have good news :) but not quite the awesome news i'm still waiting for...
8:55 pm
Rows

i got really good feedback from my interviewer about my video, but he still has to send it to the school and hear from them
8:55 pm
Rows

he said he hopes to get something definitive from the school by the end of the month, though. :)
8:56 pm
Rows

so... given that he liked it, i can probably bet that the school will like it too, and i'll get a job offer by the end of the month :D
9:00 pm
Nef

I do hope you get the offer, Rows.
9:00 pm
Rows

thanks Nef :)
9:01 pm
Rows

it will be really exciting if i do, cos this is basically a great position for me at a really good school in a city i think i will be happy in...
9:01 pm
Rows

so it could be where i end up settling
9:01 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations suefrad625 on your fireworks! Way to go!
9:01 pm
Nef

sending good vibes your way! What would you be teaching?
9:01 pm
Rows

thanks! i'd be teaching kindergarten
9:01 pm
Rows

same as i've been doing last year and this year
9:01 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye suefrad625! I will see you tomorrow maybe in log
9:02 pm
Nef

Hi Min. How are you this evening?
9:02 pm
Rows

but not kindergarten really as the US would define it... my students are 3 and 4
9:02 pm
Rows

and in Taipei the job is for a kindergarten position teaching 4 and 5 year olds
9:02 pm
Nef

so, what we call pre-K then?
9:02 pm
Minveryork

Hello Rows! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
9:02 pm
Rows

yeah
9:02 pm
Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.
9:03 pm
Rows

but they actually learn a lot of the things that US kindergarteners learn
9:03 pm
Rows

just things are adapted for their developmental stage
9:03 pm
Rows

i'm doing great Minver
9:03 pm
Rows

and you?
9:03 pm
stidmama

Rows. that job sounds like it would suit you well, and I am glad your reviewer liked the video! Keeping my figners crossed for you.
9:03 pm
Nef

I'm doing okay, Min. How are you?
9:03 pm
Rows

thank you!
9:03 pm
stidmama

(((((((Nef))))))) I miss you, dear friend.
9:04 pm
Minveryork

And that's how is should be!There so many kindergardeners here who aren't on kindergarten level.It is very frustrating!
9:05 pm
Nef

Hi stid! I miss you too! I rarely get online at this time of day anymore; but I'm procrastinating doing my Christmas cards and found myself here!
9:05 pm
Rows

yeah... well there are all kinds of ranges within my classes, too... kids develop at such different rates, is the problem
9:05 pm
JenMO16

hi all
9:05 pm
Minveryork

I am well. I actually might get to bed earlier tonight since I finished grid already & have no school work to do for once
9:05 pm
Rows

so i think the model they do in Asia is best, where they have them go to kindergarten for 3 years before primary school
9:06 pm
Rows

gives them more time to get ready for "real" school
9:06 pm
Nef

That sounds very interesting, Rows.
9:06 pm
Minveryork

Hello JenMO16! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
9:06 pm
Nef

Hi Jen
9:06 pm
JenMO16

hi nef and min!
9:06 pm
Rows

i was working in a kindergarten in China last year, and it's a 3-year program
9:06 pm
Rows

can really be 4, cos there is even pre-kinder there... 2 year olds
9:07 pm
Nef

Wow. 2 years old would be really pushing it, wouldn't it?
9:07 pm
Rows

haha yeah... i had some kids who were under 2 last year, too
9:07 pm
Minveryork

Speaking of getting to bed earlier, I am going to retire for the night. I leave you with a story of clues in profile. Adios!
9:07 pm
Rows

it's a bit crazy
9:07 pm
Rows

they are still babies
9:08 pm
Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.
9:08 pm
stidmama

I have to find the box of New Years cards we bought... It is going to take a while to write about this past year, and I am trying to wait until I can include some pics of the house "almost done" so people can see we are going to be okay. I don't think everyone on our list necessarily knows yet...
9:08 pm
Rows

goodnight minver!
9:08 pm
JenMO16

I know children who have been in "school" since they were 6 weeks old
9:08 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams, dear Min -- wonderful to step across the line with you today!
9:08 pm
Nef

Good night, Min! Take Care!
9:08 pm
JenMO16

nite, min
9:10 pm
Nef

This will be the first year in many that we won't be doing a Christmas letter. There has been too much happening this year to write about
9:10 pm
Rows

yeah... i think there is a point where it goes overboard, Jen
9:11 pm
Rows

i wouldn't put my kid in school until maybe 3, and it really depends on the kid
9:11 pm
Nef

your house is almost done, stud? Wow! I didn't realize it's been that long!
9:11 pm
JenMO16

but see, if the parent works.....
9:11 pm
stidmama

Rows, it can be hard to know what to do sometimes. Parents sometimes feel they have to keep working so they don't lose ground professionally. The only reason I stayed home was the kiddo's health issues.
9:11 pm
Rows

any clue for the er 5/10?
9:11 pm
Nef

STID! (Dang Spellcheck!!!)
9:12 pm
stidmama

NO. It isn't almost done. BUT we have a roof now, and the plumbing is lmost done
9:12 pm
Rows

oh i know that parents need to work... but i'm talking about sending a kid to *school*
9:12 pm
stidmama

Rows: think british for "backside" only start with er..
9:12 pm
Rows

versus having a nanny or some other daycare option for them
9:12 pm
Rows

thanks stid :)
9:13 pm
stidmama

I guess I am thinking that if they have to pay for daycare anyway, perhaps an environment designed to stimulate and enhance learning is more appealing. Nannies are so expensive...
9:13 pm
Rows

sure, but i just mean it should depend on the kid
9:14 pm
Rows

and also the school
9:14 pm
Rows

i have definitely seen kids at age 2 and 3 who were definitely not ready to go to school
9:14 pm
stidmama

and many of the "daycare" places that aren't specifically designed for learning (around here at least) are pretty much rooms with floor mats and tbs on all the time. And I agree -- so much depends on what the child needs.
9:14 pm
Rows

at least not the school i was working in...
9:14 pm
stidmama

montessori-style, or waldorf, or some other type of school?
9:15 pm
Rows

are you asking about the school i was working in?
9:15 pm
Nef

Our grandson is 4 1/2, there are no kids in our neighborhood and he goes to preschool 3 hours/day 3 days/week. I told my son that he won't get toys from me; I will pay for another day of preschool/week instead. He really needs to be with kids more...
9:16 pm
Rows

ah
9:16 pm
stidmama

yes Rows, what kind of teaching do you do? (other than excellent, which is what I always expect babblers to be!)
9:17 pm
JenMO16

and kids need that nef
9:17 pm
Rows

haha
9:17 pm
JenMO16

help with the 'z' please
9:17 pm
Rows

it was just a Chinese kindergarten, but we were implementing international baccalaureate curriculum
9:17 pm
Rows

or as close to as you can in a Chinese school
9:17 pm
Rows

IB = international baccalaureate
9:18 pm
Rows

something pretty not-overwhelming for anyone really...
9:18 pm
Rows

but school in general was just overwhelming for some of them
9:18 pm
stidmama

IB for under-5s???? *mind boggles, gasps, and implodes*
9:18 pm
stidmama

za 6 or ze 4
9:18 pm
stidmama

need more than that Jen?
9:18 pm
Rows

yes haha
9:18 pm
Nef

wow! That sounds frightening to me…..
9:18 pm
Rows

IB PYP
9:19 pm
JenMO16

za6 please
9:19 pm
Rows

it actually can work really really well
9:19 pm
Rows

and these kids are in China, which is an academically-focused country, so their parents encourage them to do homework, etc.
9:19 pm
Rows

so they are better equipped for it than my Honduran students could be if we tried it here
9:20 pm
Rows

i am somehow missing how there can be so many fe words that are 5 and 6 letters long
9:20 pm
Rows

i've tried so many combinations and nothing is working...
9:21 pm
Rows

so far i just have the two fe 4 words
9:21 pm
stidmama

I can think that it would establish expectations and routines early on, and the kind of teaching I am familiar with for Chinese students would fit well... but still. My heart says that little kids actually benefit from huge quantities of unstructured time in which to explore their environments and social skills
9:21 pm
Rows

yes! and they got that, actually
9:21 pm
Rows

it was really nice
9:21 pm
JenMO16

what is the za6 word stid?
9:21 pm
stidmama

za 6: think MArilyn Monroe. A german word, meaning well-proportioned and womanly.
9:22 pm
Rows

IB PYP is great for their curious nature and it simply lets them have inquiry-based learning, which is more natural than being spoon-fed specific things that they might not care about
9:22 pm
stidmama

za + the type of leaf used by Adam and Eve with a random letter thrown in
9:22 pm
JenMO16

I am too young for Marilyn Monroe
9:22 pm

JenMO16

sorry
9:22 pm
stidmama

:-) no probs, Jen -- did the other clue work?
9:22 pm
JenMO16

thinking
9:23 pm
Rows

can anyone help me with any of the fe 5 or 6 words?? i am somehow brian farting on all of these...
9:23 pm
Rows

i have tried tons of combinations
9:23 pm
JenMO16

not really stid
9:24 pm
stidmama

okay, ZA + consonant, plus the "bouncy" friend of Pooh ***ger
9:24 pm
Rows

okay i found the hats
9:24 pm
penquis

the fe 5/6/6 combo is this.....fe + vowel + high point letter + vowel....then add endings, pl and pt....
9:25 pm
stidmama

I have played babble so long, Rows, that strange clue no longer fa4 me. also past and present tense
9:25 pm
Rows

haha thanks pen
9:25 pm
Nef

fe5's and 6's can be spelled 2 two different ways for the "s" sound
9:25 pm
Rows

i needed a dummy clue
9:25 pm
stidmama

anyway, lots to grade tonight. And I have to do it myself... LOL some things I can't leave to a TA! :-)
9:25 pm
JenMO16

got it, thanks, stid
9:26 pm
Rows

stid, sorry, i feel so selfish... i haven't even asked you about your day
9:26 pm
Rows

good luck!
9:27 pm
stidmama

Long, rows -- LOL middle school just before the winter break. And a sprinkler water line broke yesterday, sending us all out into the rain until we figured out what tripped the fire alarm... It has been a busy week!
9:27 pm
stidmama

Thanks for asking.
9:27 pm
stidmama

Tomorrow we are back on track and working hard! :-) See you-all again soon. *poof*
9:27 pm
JenMO16

oh my, stid!
9:27 pm
Rows

aw man
9:27 pm
Rows

well i hope that you can get some rest this evening!
9:29 pm
JenMO16

anyone heard of Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
9:31 pm
JenMO16

strange
9:31 pm
Alycia

they are awesome Jen
9:32 pm
Rows

i've heard of them yes
9:32 pm
JenMO16

I think I would go blind going to one of their concerts, I am watching them on TV
9:32 pm
Rows

but i have not heard of the sm words before!
9:32 pm
Rows

who has??
9:32 pm
Rows

so weird
9:32 pm
Nef

Sorry, I got distracted by DH. stid, take care of yourself; and good night!
9:32 pm
Rows

lots of bright lights?
9:33 pm
JenMO16

yes and flashing!
9:33 pm
Rows

fireworks here
9:33 pm
Rows

so bits of flashing :)
9:34 pm
Nef

Jen, they are coming to The Cities next week and I'm trying to talk DH in to going to their concert with me. (No luck so far)
9:34 pm
Nef

YAY, ROWS!!! WTG!!!
9:35 pm
JenMO16

woohoo rows
9:35 pm
Rows

:) thanks!
9:35 pm

i think i'm gonna watch some drop dead diva before i go to bed
9:35 pm
JenMO16

I would walk out with a headache nef, they were here in KC some time ago
9:35 pm
Rows

thanks for keeping me company, guys
9:35 pm
Rows

9:36 pm
JenMO16

nite rows
9:36 pm
Nef

niters, Rows!
9:39 pm
JenMO16

sorry about that, they are coming to KC Dec. 22
9:39 pm
Nef

Jen, I've never seen them (even on TV) but I've heard them and even have some of their CD's. Maybe I should check them out on You Tube or Netflix first?
9:40 pm
JenMO16

maybe you should, they do have some solemn moments
9:43 pm
Nef

I will do that. DH is such a stick-in-the-mud about doing anything he considers "cultural;" although part of it may be that he worries about crowds and being squeezed into a non-handicapped seat that would constrict him too much
9:43 pm
JenMO16

reminds of the rock group KISS
9:44 pm
Nef

(he keeps interrupting me to see what I want to do with some papers he's sorting right now; never mind that I told him once already that I sorted that pile of papers already and I DO want to save those!
9:47 pm
JenMO16

well I have done all I can do on this grid, need to get to bed
9:47 pm
Nef

I never saw KISS either; I was older than that I guess.
9:48 pm
Nef

I have 8 left; I guess I'll finish it.
9:48 pm
JenMO16

ok, nite nef
9:49 pm
Nef

Niters Jen. Sleep well!
