flosey

oh, not here - yet, had them last night though
1:09 am
VolleymomDee

I liked it better when it just paused, rather than the red boxes... so many times I think it took something I entered, and it didn't
1:10 am
rururocks

That is why I try to beat the boxes
1:10 am
VolleymomDee

smart man... down to one p 5 hmmm
1:11 am
cosdem

1:11 am
VolleymomDee

lol
1:12 am
VolleymomDee

so did you discontinue netflix, cos?
1:13 am
cosdem

Nope :) Netflix, Hulu, Redbox. Total less than 27.00 a month combined. not a bad deal.
1:13 am
VolleymomDee

definitely a lot cheaper than cable
1:14 am
cosdem

redbox is like 1.50 at the kisok so 4 movies would round up to 8.00 anyway. basically getting instant free.
1:14 am
VolleymomDee

that IS good
1:15 am
VolleymomDee

while we were snowed in this weekend, I watched all of the Dragnet episodes on Netflix lol

3:08 am
puglet

it is :(
3:09 am
grannyrose

you know, friends...fang has no idea how much cleaning that has had to be done here. according to her, MIL was immaculate...yeah, right
3:09 am
sprite

they aren't so bad, pug, those unfriendly ones. They make it easy to blame it on the grid when we cannot find a word :)
3:09 am
puglet

well it is for me
3:09 am
grannyrose

sprite, sorry to be an iconoclast...it is a stinker.
3:09 am
puglet

Iam over halfway so Iam happy
3:10 am
sprite

3:12 am
sprite

oh dear... did you overdo stuff? Or just danced your heart out?
3:13 am
puglet

I think both--lol
3:13 am
sprite

hehehe... well, it is a good soreness at least. And dancing is exercise for body, mind and soul
3:14 am
puglet

well they say no pain no gain--isnt that how it goes
3:14 am
sprite

and you get an extra *hu** from me, rose, to help you through the dark times. Am thinking of you so often, I am almost sure you can feel it :)
3:15 am
sprite

yeah, heard that one, pug. Still waiting for the gain myself, lol.
3:16 am
puglet

well it goes with OO's #5 question---so I hope hes gaining too--lol
3:16 am

3:17 am
sprite

hey o-o, am glad to see you. That bad huh... I feel better now for not getting anywhere with the grid.
3:19 am
sprite

love the quote in your profile, o-o. Very true. Good to remember that.
3:19 am
puglet

It might be small, but its hard too
3:20 am

all grids are easy; some are easier
3:20 am
sprite

lol
3:21 am
puglet

for those of you with the IQ of God maybe--lol

perseverance is the key
3:22 am

3:23 am
sprite

hehehe pug, then you will win
3:23 am
o-o

I am not one of those ... more like a sidewalk
3:23 am
puglet

I might have fws by the flip time if I stay with it
3:24 am

3:24 am
sprite

nah o-o, not a sidewalk. We don't want to have people walk allover you.
3:24 am
melonheadjujube

hi, pleasantly insomniac tonight/this morning. Sometimes I just like the uninterrupted quite.
3:24 am
puglet

yeah one of those sidewalks that moves like a eleivator
3:25 am
sprite

hi melon, am glad you are enjoying your quiet time.
3:25 am
puglet

Hi melon--how are things with your son going
3:28 am
sprite

thank God for the Ss in this grid. At least we can find some plurals.
3:29 am
puglet

it just told on the news where this guy living next door to a 89 year old woman went to her house and broke in---all the police did was follow his footsteps in the snow---lol
3:29 am
sprite

lol pug, the stupid git. I hope they throw away the key to his cell.
3:30 am
puglet

me too--got what he deserved--but so dumb
3:31 am
sprite

yeah, so stupid. Far beyond *facepalm*
3:31 am
melonheadjujube

Oh, puglet, thank you for asking! He was discharged last week, and by mutual agreement, is staying with his sister and her hub for a while. She's 27, and they have been very close since the day he was born.

I think his loyalty to her will bolster his will to not use. WHile the mania that seems to be a consequence of a pot binge was frightening, and his father was an irresponsible bastard for giving him a couple hundred dollars in cash, given son's issues, it seems to have not so much scared him straight as been a moment of truth as to what sort of person he will be. Substance abuse awakens a mean side to him, and he himself is appalled by it looking back. Kindness is a value of his. Previously only alcohol disinhibited rage in him; this time pot did the same.

I think the move out of my house was timely even had there not been a crisis. 22 year old guys need to not live with mom. We were both in a rut and a bit sick of one another. He has a therapist now, and the plan is for that therapy to be individual, no family counseling. This is good.

I'm so touched by the kindness of Babblers. this and basenotes.net are my two dearest communities on the 'net.
3:32 am
puglet

people takes such advantage of the elderly and those living alone--thats what worries me about OO
3:33 am
melonheadjujube

btw, my daughter, my ex, and myself all live within a mile and a half of one another.
3:33 am
sprite

Good developments there, melon. Am so glad. I hope he will manage to stay away from all drugs from now on. Good thing he is scared by what he is becoming. And am so happy for you there will be more peace in your home now.
3:34 am
puglet

That is really good news, Melon---Ive been praying for you. Maybe he has learned a good lesson from all this before it was too late.
3:35 am
melonheadjujube

Thank you sprite. I felt headed to an early grave, heaven forbid, had I not gotten some relief. My daughter really stepped up to the plate. asshole ex is trying to undermine me, tried to intimidate my son's case manager. Son sees thru his dad, thank goodness.
3:36 am
sprite

sorry about your ex. Would be nice if he moved to another state :)
3:36 am
puglet

thats so sad his father is that way but thank God your son sees it
3:37 am
sprite

I can imagine, melon, troubles like this take so much out of us. Hard to keep going and going and going. Am very glad things are better now.
3:38 am
melonheadjujube

puglet, his bottoming out seems to have happened, at we were spared catastrophe compared to how other poor souls bottom out. He is such a good soul. He and all of us treasure that goodness. He is challenged by both learning disabilies including major communication disporder, and mental illness, either schzophrenia or schizoaffective. He has fantastic help, especially from JFSA of Cleveland. There is no better agency. See, your prayers worked (:
3:39 am
puglet

Iam so happy for you both, Melon and Iam glad peace has enter your heart and home
3:40 am
melonheadjujube

I take take the stupid shit my ex tries to pull on me, but his indifference to the harm he causes his children is infuriating. They're onto it, son more than daughter, but it is still stressful.
3:40 am
sprite

he sounds like a real egomaniac.
3:40 am
melonheadjujube

I do feel much more relaxed. I get a little lonesome in an empty house; who knows, maybe this will make room in my life for a "somone" (;
3:41 am
puglet

some people and their actions are so hard to understand
3:41 am
sprite

ooooo that would be nice, melon! A lovely, loving someone who will cherish you and will love your children and want the best for them too.
3:41 am
melonheadjujube

f'n narcissicist. Child of alcoholics. When we met I think each felt for the other's plight.
3:42 am
sprite

oh, that says it all. My father is one too, melon. No cure, and no way to really live with them.
3:42 am
melonheadjujube

It would be, Sprite, and it would be icing on the cake. I'm a pretty content single person, with wonderful family and friends. I don't want to be "in the hunt". If it's meant to be, it will happen.
3:43 am
sprite

they say that when you want to attract a good partner, all you have to do is be one :) Well, that and go out and meet people, of course.
3:44 am
melonheadjujube

Ah, you read me then,Sprite. He was a bottomless pit of need with a jealous streak and fear of abandonment, and I'm someone who needs an amount of solitude, to say nothing of trust (who doesn't need that!).
3:44 am
grannyrose

melon, may i share how DH and i eventually joined up?
3:45 am
melonheadjujube

Exactly Sprite. Now I gotta get that hip replacement so I can go sals dancing again! and now, back to the grid. Thank you again, puglet and Sprite, for being such good babble-friends.
3:45 am
melonheadjujube

Oh, please do, grannyrose!
3:45 am
sprite

yep, it has to be about them all the time and if not, they get nastily manipulative. So glad you are free of him, at least for everything except the children.
3:46 am
melonheadjujube

puglet is sort of in the grid :D
3:46 am
sprite

so she is :)
3:47 am
puglet

youre welcome Melon--will continue praying for you and I will add that someone special bumps into you too-if you would like
3:47 am
grannyrose

we have known each other for over 30 years. we have been very close friends. when he proposed just under 10 years ago, you could have knocked me down with a feather. what i am trying to say in my clumsy way...is that your future is securely held in God's hands. don was the last person i expected to love me the way he does.
3:48 am
melonheadjujube

hey, potch is too a word! If they allow tush, they have to allow potch, as in "I'll give your tush such a potch oif you do that ag5!"

4:56 am
puglet

who holds the highest power? the king or queen
4:56 am
grannyrose

okay, email off. barrak, to my way of thinking is trying to equalise all of the states. a hard job, in the best of situations.
4:57 am
sprite

the king and queen don't have ruling power here. They have a social and ornamental function. And of course, the queen is not a real queen, just honorary... and of course in the end she has the most power of the two, lol
4:57 am
sprite

hi rose, welcome back. Yes, he is trying to do a helluva job.

Did you hear what happened in Atlanta. A little bit of snow and a massive pile up on the highway. People were in their cars all night
8:13 am
Anniebrook

Hi Bea, who are you picking for the super bowl?
8:14 am
Anniebrook

Wow.
8:14 am
BzznBea

I'm going with Denver, Annie. Is that who Bobby picked?
8:15 am
Anniebrook

Yes, he did.
8:15 am
BzznBea

Yes, these southern folks have no idea how to drive in the snow.
8:16 am
bichon

Let me tell you. Remember the bumper stickers "Drive at 90 and freeze a Yankee's ass?"
8:17 am
BzznBea

LOL! Can't say I remember those being from the midwest.
8:17 am
bichon

It was from the late 70's when there was an oil and gas shortage
8:18 am
bichon

phantom: octopus
8:18 am
BzznBea

I remember the gas shortage and dropping the speed limit to 55.
8:19 am
BzznBea

Are you having problems with heating oil supplies?
8:19 am
Anniebrook

I remember the gas shortage very well. One of my neighbors siphoned gas from my tank.
8:19 am
bichon

We don't use oil, but I've heard it was plentiful, but very expensive
8:19 am
bichon

Yes, people would steal gas from cars parked outside
8:20 am
BzznBea

I have friends in WI who are having to keep their thermostats at 65.
8:21 am
bichon

That's about as high as we go and down to 50 at night
8:21 am
bichon

We dress warmly at home, sometimes a hat
8:22 am
Anniebrook

bichon, why so low? 70 is very comfortable.
8:23 am
BzznBea

We keep ours that low, Annie, because of the bill.
8:24 am
Anniebrook

An excellent reason, bichon
8:24 am
BzznBea

Same way in the summer. Not always as cool as we like but who can afford the bill!
8:24 am
bichon

When I gre up in NYC, it was so warm in our apartment, we wore house dresses in the dead of winter. I guess we're cheapos. After dinner, we watch TV with a blacket over our laps and fluffs to keep us warm. At night the fluffs sleep under our duvets and warm us up
8:25 am
bichon

That's getting our money's worth from dogs
8:25 am
Anniebrook

lol, that's for sure.
8:27 am
bichon

The bed is chilly when we go to sleep, a few hours later, it's toasty
8:28 am
BzznBea

I like my bedroom cold and I like the bed cold.
8:29 am
Anniebrook

i usually turn the heat off in my bedroom at night. I like to sleep in a chilly room.
8:29 am
MollyL

I keep my thermostat that low and the bill is still through the roof. The power companies are raking it in.
8:29 am
bichon

I can't fall asleep if it's too cold. I start shivering and then it's impossible to sleep. We usually read or do puzzles until they've warmed it up for us

8:32 am

8:33 am

we use a fireplace in the living room so it's bearable and when I cook, the kitchen is almost OK

*memo to myself...do not visit ruby in the winter*
8:33 am

The down duvets really help. Also a hat can keep your body heat in. Wen we had a 3 day power outage a couple of years ago, the only part of our day was at night.

8:35 am

it's really not very cold here but the house is
8:35 am

They don't have the plow and sand power to deal with that. It's not financially feasible since they rarely get snow. And no one down there knows how to drive in it.

so does anyone want to name-that-proper-noun my disease?
10:44 am

We should be around 50 on Saturday. Oh happy day!
10:44 am
hurshy

although you probably wouldn't get it unless you are a doctor or watched a lot of house.
10:45 am
bichon

I couldn't guess
10:47 am
hurshy

Chagas disease
10:47 am
bichon

no you don't!
10:47 am
hurshy

i don't HAVE it
10:48 am
hurshy

it's just in the grid
10:48 am
bichon

I know what that is. It comes from the Chagas beetle and you get it sleeping in a thatched hut
10:48 am
hurshy

why did you say "no you don't!"
10:49 am
bichon

It's not a disease usually caught by people in Norther climates. Mostly from living in South America
10:50 am
bichon

They always ask you that when you donate blood
10:50 am
hurshy

so you did mean what i thought you meant. you were expressing skepticism about the idea of my having the disease, which you thought i was claiming, because you didn't see my post at 10:34.
10:50 am
hurshy

just checking. i like to understand. :)
10:50 am
bichon

Yes, exactly
10:51 am
bichon

at 10:44 you said "my disease"
10:51 am
hurshy

yes, but at 10:34, i said, "i see a disease, that's medical, but not a correspondent" so my later post was referencing that.
10:51 am
72 Temple Owl

this grid is batsh*t
10:52 am
hurshy

the disease i saw in the grid, not the disease i have.
10:52 am
bichon

Okay, guess I didn't understand
10:52 am
hurshy

right but now you do, and so do i!
10:52 am
hurshy

what diseases can you get from batsh*t?
10:52 am
bichon

ebola?

People do use the gu 5 as fuel.

This reminds me of a Firesign Theater episode where they would give people a disease and they had 30 seconds to diagnose it. If diagnosed correctly they would get the antidote.

i made banana bread and left it on the counter overnight, was going to my mom's the next day. in house i was in at the time there were mice. well, in the night, a mouse got at the bread and nibbled at the corner. so, i cut off that end of the bread and brought the rest. i TOLD everyone what had happened and i said, if it makes you nervous, don't eat it. my mom ate it anyway and then spent months convinced she had the hantavirus.
10:58 am
72 Temple Owl

i saw them about 10 years ago

11:01 am

Hmm, I think I now know where Hursh gets her fear of disease from. : D
11:01 am
hurshy

but sweeping up loads of droppings is not the same as eating bread the corner of which was nibbled at and then cut off.
11:01 am
bichon

You just never know when a rare disease will strike you. Like the couple from Colorado or some such state who came to NYC as tourists and ended up in the hospital with plague
11:01 am
72 Temple Owl

yes, when i had a mouse and was researching capturing it, i was surprised you practiacally had to have a hazmat suit
11:01 am
bichon

That's why having a cat is so helpful
11:02 am
hurshy

then there was the time when i was a kid and there was some leak at some gas facility a couple miles from our house and for a long time after that mom was worried about whether our well water was contaminated
11:02 am
72 Temple Owl

yet the coast guard warrant officer in our office just picked up the traps and de - moused them and reset them
11:02 am
72 Temple Owl

he was a little nuts anyway. we suspected he drank heavily.

11:04 am
72 Temple Owl

but we aught 20in three weeks. there was a nest. and the exterminator would only come out once a week to clean out the traps.
11:05 am
hurshy

hmm, that many, you would want to be careful with cleaning the droppings, yeah
11:05 am
72 Temple Owl

and don;t even ask me about when they caught the squirrel in the office.

i mentioned i knew someone who played dulcimer but was not sure which.
8:04 pm

some in our group do play both, but have never learned the hammered - learned the psaltery instead and also tried the autoharp but didn't get very far with it
8:04 pm
72 Temple Owl

teach, i had piano accordion lessons as a child. i took up guitar as an adult.
8:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

i like the autoharp. i think of claudia schmidt for that and lap dulcimer.
8:05 pm
wvteach

guitars are always good to have in a jam session - have a guitar that plays with our dulcimer group - she is also the vocalist for the group
8:06 pm
72 Temple Owl

do you know claudia? she sings mostly jazz now but her folk stuff is superb. beautiful voice, great range.
8:06 pm
Rows

hey everyone
8:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

hi rows
8:07 pm
wvteach

the lap dulcimer is a fairly easy instrument to get started on - you can usually start playing songs right away - and then you can keep learning new techniques forever
8:07 pm
Rows

how's it going?
8:07 pm
wvteach

sorry don't know her - will look for her on the web
8:08 pm

you would probably want more than that
8:16 pm
Rows

Costa Rica is beautiful
8:16 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:16 pm

affordable to do what?
8:17 pm

8:19 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:19 pm
72 Temple Owl

costa rica is a beautiful vacation spot and affordable. much better than caribbean
8:19 pm
Rows

depends on where you go
8:20 pm
Rows

as far as i've experienced, Costa Rica is expensive compared to Honduras
8:20 pm
Rows

and Honduras has quite beautiful Caribbean beaches
8:20 pm

it's all very interesting to me
8:29 pm

i love the idea of making education accessible to everybody
8:29 pm

it was interesting... my least favorite were the behavioral disorder kids, they just had something broken in their brain to where they could not understand reason at all
8:30 pm
Rows

but my favorite were the autistic kids (not severe though)
8:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

night, rows! i am getting a passport - you never know, someday we might run into each other.
8:30 pm
Rows

i found their mannerisms and quirks very interesting
8:30 pm
Rows

awesome :)
8:31 pm
wvteach

myt room adjoined the autism classroom - and her biggest problem was the wide range of levels she had - non verbal, not toilet trained - to some who spent time in regular classroom getting academics
8:31 pm
Rows

ah, that would definitely be a challenge
8:31 pm
Rows

they should separate them based on where they are in the spectrum
8:32 pm
Rows

at least separate the severe from the non-severe
8:32 pm
wvteach

unfortunately there aren't enough in terms of numbers to make that always possible
8:32 pm
Rows

and yeah, the non-verbal, non-toilet-trained ones were some of my toughest students... it was so hard to know whether they were getting anything out of being there, if they liked what we were doing with them, etc.
8:33 pm
Rows

but, i do think it's important to provide access to education to everybody, no matter what their ability
8:33 pm

8:40 pm

i don't want to have to deal with stress or other unnecessary problems while pregnant

i don't want to have to deal with stress or other unnecessary problems while pregnant

the US is the only first-world country that does not offer women paid maternity leave
8:44 pm
MollyL

I would love to have had the benefit of paid maternity leave. I stayed home with my kids when they were small because I thought it was the right thing to do. I am still dealing with the financial repercussions from that.
8:44 pm
wvteach

How long are you looking for leave? I got 6 -8 weeks and my DIL just got 6 - 8 weeks just 3 years ago when my trandson was born
8:46 pm
MollyL

Teach, you got 6 to 8 weeks paid maternity leave?
8:46 pm
Rows

oh i would want like 3 months
8:46 pm
Rows

that is the norm in most countries
8:47 pm
Rows

and if you got 6 to 8 weeks maternity leave paid, you are lucky and it just happened to be part of the package your company offered
8:47 pm
wvteach

Yes, and my sons are now in their 30s and 40s. I took longer than what I was paid for. But all medical benefits and salary were covered for the 6 or 8 weeks, after that I had to pay 1/2 of the medical premiums, but was guaranteed my job when I came back
8:48 pm
wvteach

it was the state employees / public school system
8:49 pm
Rows

i've already got student loan debt, and i am behind on life in general already because i stayed home to take care of my mom who had cancer while i was in college (still has it) so i took a lot longer to graduate from college than most...
8:49 pm
o-o

The US has not been kind to women despite the concerted efforts started long ago (seneca falls convention). The disparities in pay and promotion continue. Assaults in the military are increasing despite the rhetoric ... it is criminal.
8:49 pm
Rows

i don't need more hold-ups in life, so paid maternity leave is something i am definitely going to seek out if i get into a position to where i want to have kids
8:49 pm
Rows

and yes, i agree o
8:50 pm
MollyL

That is amazing. I have never heard of paid maternity leave in the US, except for some high end companies.
8:53 pm
wvteach

I think it was covered under our sick leave asnd msaybe it was because I never took sick days - too hard to get a sub in special ed) and lots of days accumulated.
8:56 pm
wvteach

But my DIL works for Giant Eagle as a pharmacist and three years ago got paid leave - don't think of them as a high end company - she was having a hard time during her pregnancy and also took off the month before her due date and got 80% of salary of medical leave - and got 1 or 2 extra weeks after because it was a C-section
8:58 pm
