1:19 am

grannyrose

okay sort of. pool was a real torture session...even my hair hurts...lol. and how are you? headachey?

1:20 am

puglet

no headach but not feeling the best either

1:20 am

grannyrose

*sending a quick word to the big guy*

1:21 am

puglet

thank you-----why does your hair hurt? was you under the water

1:22 am

grannyrose

it's just an expression, dear, indicating th4 i ache all over.

1:23 am

puglet

oh----then I guess I need to pray for you too--lol

1:23 am

grannyrose

i was exercising with the weights on for one of the exercises, and i was working with a step, which was double height, almost.

1:24 am

puglet

well no wonder you are sore then

1:25 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i gave myself permission to be sore and take the fast release tab.

1:25 am

puglet

you should sleep well tonight then

1:26 am

puglet

how many more pool sessions do you have yet

1:26 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. i have a brick ready, and don has been given the okay to knock me out with it..lolol

1:26 am

grannyrose

how's your sister? is she doing any better?

1:27 am

puglet

she doing okay---its going to be a nice day here

1:27 am

grannyrose

lovely, about ruddy time, too.

1:28 am

puglet

I know---yet after today , rain for the next 4, but warm temps

1:31 am

grannyrose

pugs, you would have had such a laugh. the other day all my family were gathered at my bro's to celebrate the nephew's birthday. little grace, who is 2, wanted a rubber ball which me bro was holding, and he wouldn't give it to her until she said please or ta. finally she got frustrated and started to whimper, but th4 didn't do any good. so she pretended to look away, and at the same time she swiped at the ball with her hand, knocking it out of my bro's hand. she is only TWO!! i couldn't believe my eyes...

1:32 am

puglet

LOL...shes got a quick mind--serves him right

1:33 am

Lizlin

Clever girl! Hi all :)

1:33 am

puglet

Hi Liz--how are you today

1:33 am

Lizlin

Fine thanks - and you?

1:34 am

puglet

Iam okay

1:34 am

Lizlin

Strange grid - taking me a while to see anything.

1:35 am

puglet

I had trouble getting on--the server was down again

1:36 am

Lizlin

I've just come back from the gym, so this is my first sight of the grid and I got in without trouble.

1:37 am

puglet

yesterday it was for a good little bit

1:37 am

puglet

down

1:38 am

Lizlin

It seems a bit unreliable at the moment.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Did I say something to scare Rose off?

1:43 am

puglet

I dont think so--she may of went to the loo or slip into her pj's

1:43 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you're right.

1:44 am

Lizlin

Do you know the stats for the 7s?

1:44 am

puglet

said she was really sore from the pool workout today

1:44 am

Lizlin

Poor Rose - I'm sure the jolt from the car didn't help her.

1:44 am

puglet

no Liz, I dont--I just got here not to long before you

1:44 am

Lizlin

OK.

1:46 am

grannyrose

finally, my internet went down.

1:46 am

puglet

Liz, I went to lickety and they are mi 740 and ph 736

1:46 am

Lizlin

Knew I hadn't really scared you off! lol!

1:47 am

grannyrose

and both my posts have disappeared....hello liz, girl, nice to see you

1:47 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Pugs.

1:48 am

Lizlin

Good to see you too - it's always nice to come to babble and see friends/

1:48 am

Lizlin

Found the mi 7 - thanks to you, Pugs.

1:48 am

grannyrose

things are pretty erratic here. we don't understand why we keep losing our connection. and if it's not the internet, our phone line goes.

1:49 am

puglet

Is someone building around you

1:49 am

Lizlin

So annoying, Rose. We had that a while ago. Telstra were really great (not many people say that!)

1:50 am

puglet

maybe you got a ghost messing with you--lol

1:50 am

grannyrose

yeah, my husband is one of those who knock telstra. so we have optus for our phone and internet.

1:51 am

puglet

Rose, with all the searching going on, it might be messing with your airwave stuff

1:51 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs...we jokingly say th4 the bermuda triangle has taken up residence here

1:51 am

Lizlin

Well I hope optus can sort it for you!

1:51 am

Lizlin

i said that too!

1:52 am

grannyrose

boy, th4 triangle sure gets around, doesn't it?

1:52 am

Lizlin

Sure does.

1:52 am

Lizlin

OK - I'll be back - need to find something to eat after the gym!

1:53 am

grannyrose

personally, i have been with telstra for over 40 years.

1:53 am

puglet

okay Liz

1:54 am

grannyrose

bring something back for me...doesn't matter what, so long as it contains more calories th4 i burned up in the pool....lololol

1:54 am

puglet

I wonder how long they are going to keep up with that plane searching

1:54 am

grannyrose

haven't heard the latest, pugs. is there any further news?

1:54 am

puglet

nope

1:55 am

puglet

thats just so weird too

1:55 am

puglet

I dont understand why they cant send a sub in

1:56 am

grannyrose

i know, and the relatives are saying...why didn't you search the indian ocean before? and i'm saying, why would they? it's the opposite direction to which the plane was supposed to be flying.

1:57 am

grannyrose

pugs, the weather is pretty rough, and the currents are very strong, particularly at this time of year.

1:57 am

puglet

they are not even sure thats where it is

1:57 am

puglet

not one piece of it has been found so far

1:58 am

grannyrose

i had a bit of a giggle the other day. apparently air malaysia are offering some very cheap airfares at the moment. and i'm thinking, why would i go on one of their planes?

1:58 am

puglet

LOL--true

2:02 am

puglet

Iam going to open all my windows today and let the house air out----I like the fresh air of spring

2:03 am

grannyrose

oh, so do i, pugs. every door and every window....the smell of spring air is so lovely.

2:05 am

hootowl

We are sending in a sub with some gadget to pick up the pings!

2:05 am

hootowl

Howdy

2:05 am

puglet

I will feel a hundred percent better if these hot compresses would do their job

2:05 am

grannyrose

and of course, down here in our 'new' bedroom, when i open the windows, the perfume from my cecil brunner rose wafts in. it is in the garden bed, right outside the bedroom windows.

2:05 am

puglet

Hi Hootowl

2:05 am

grannyrose

howdy hoot. yes, i read th4 the other day.

2:05 am

puglet

oh how nice Rose

2:06 am

hootowl

hi - I saw that this afternoon on someplace

2:06 am

hootowl

You'd probably have better sources than I do rose

2:09 am

hootowl

Yahoo has 3 separate ones with comments and I have very serious doubt about the intelligence level of most of the commentors!

2:10 am

grannyrose

roflol, hoot. i know...they say the most stupid things.

2:10 am

hootowl

About the only thing they haven't siggested was a big hole in the ovcean that sucked them down to a new world!

2:11 am

grannyrose

like atlanta, do you mean?

2:11 am

grannyrose

oh, you forgot the aliens....

2:11 am

hootowl

I guess, they don't know what they are talking about and it's starting to effect me!

2:12 am

hootowl

3 different ones!

2:13 am

grannyrose

what?? are they doing your head in?? i can do th4, dear. just give me 5 minutes of your life...*giggle*

2:13 am

hootowl

notachance!

2:13 am

grannyrose

spoil sport!!

2:13 am

hootowl

hah!

2:14 am

grannyrose

what are they saying?? can you please quote them? i need a laugh..

2:16 am

hootowl

The biggest problem is geography.

2:17 am

hootowl

They don't teach it any more and none of these fools have any idea just how big this planet is and how huge the ocean is!

2:19 am

hootowl

Really isn't laughable. They really have no idea of distance or size and I doubt any of them could find Malaysia on a map!

2:20 am

hootowl

And they really believe that someone flew that plane to "spmewhere" and they are going to use it to blow us up.

2:20 am

grannyrose

oh, dear...

2:21 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake, hoot...

2:21 am

hootowl

They also don't know that every country in that area is worried about his neighbor and they all keep an eye on everyone.

2:22 am

hootowl

I WAS surprised at what they ALL have myself.

2:24 am

hootowl

Unless they are just putting on a show, I don't think anyone there trusts anyone else so they have a lot of stuff I'm not sure they know how to use?

2:25 am

hootowl

And right in the middle is Chana trying to become supersuper!

2:25 am

hootowl

I have to stop, my fingers aren't keeping up with my brain which went into free fall about 2 hrs ago!

2:25 am

grannyrose

exactly hoot...the eastern countries are so suspicious of each other. and those people need to try and understand, the ocean floor is nearly 2 1/2 miles deep at th4 particular point.

2:26 am

grannyrose

is th4 the same as mouth with no connection to brain syndrome??

2:27 am

grannyrose

poor hoot...are you going to be able to sleep, dear?

2:28 am

hootowl

No one does. Wasted a lot of time trying to explain this to the idiots on the boards. They don't believe it! I don't think 5% of our citizens have ever been to either of our coasts and seen the sea!

2:30 am

hootowl

Oh- I'll sleep. I cannot do anything about lack of intelligence so I just tell what I can in the simplest way possible and hope some of it sinks in.

2:30 am

sprite

good morning all

2:30 am

puglet

Morning Sprite--hugs

2:31 am

hootowl

What scares me is the morons whose first idea is to blow up everyone...then find out who you killed!

2:31 am

hootowl

hi sprite - been a long time!

2:31 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite...xoxox

2:32 am

I agree Rose but as a non smoker don't like to comment.

3:40 am

Lizlin

Pls?

3:40 am

Lizlin

Im 6/33 pls?

3:40 am

worzel

I totally agree Mum. I have had smoking cessation classes two years in a row and am finding it SO difficult to stop. It's not only a dirty habit but one of the most dangerous and addictive - I shall give up though - but I'm beginning to think the only option left is hypnotherapy! I'm seriously willing to try anything

3:41 am

Good luck when you do, worz

3:42 am

worzel...you have to be the one in control... it will not work unless it is from YOUR heart.

3:44 am

worzel

Yes, so my cessation teacher taught me. I did give up for about 6 weeks two years ago and don't know what made me start again. But I WILL do it! I just need to be in the right place, mentally x

3:45 am

worzel

Does anyone want to go and finish painting my fence for me? Or must I go and put my sexy shorts on again and do it myself?

3:46 am

Lizlin

I vote for sexy shorts!

3:47 am

worzel

fairy nuff! Right, then, I best get me legs out and go paint! We have 2 days of dry weather forecast so I'd best make the most of it. I shall say adieu for the while and will talk to you all again vv soon xxxx love you all esp Mum xxxxxx

3:47 am

grannyrose

exactly, darling. when i faced the fact th4 i would not survive to see the grandkiddies grow to adulthood, or reap the benefits from my knee surgery, it was very real to me.

3:48 am

Have a lovely day, worz xx

3:48 am

*smiling at you* thanx dearest worzel.

3:49 am

worzel

ty liz. Mum u truly are an inspiration and I shall follow in your footsteps with the non smoking very soon - I promise. But for now my lovely (he lies) fence is a-calling, so it's sexy shorts and frightened neighbours time!!! Bye for now and have a lovely day/evening wherever you are xx *poof*

9:35 am

hego

Me too Scrabs

9:35 am

rubyfoo

Things like that make me a little crazy; they keep you on hold for 5-6 minutes and then it goes to busy OR they tell you to call another number or they can't fid your record. And it's all in French, so it' always a challenge

9:36 am

Scrabbler

That must be very difficult, Ruby.

9:36 am

rubyfoo

It's surprising how many Fr words appear in babble but they are very inconsistent about foreign foods, e.g. natto 00Japanese sticky beans, not accepted but to4 and 5, accepted

9:37 am

rubyfoo

It has certainly forced me to improve my French, that's for sure, and husband speaks less and less and now, only to the housekeeper

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

BO6 clue please?

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

hi cos

1:33 pm

MollyL

bo + the interest percentage you get on a mortgage loan

1:34 pm

cosdem

Just wanted to tell you i saw my doctor today

1:34 pm

cosdem

I asked for a Rx on Chantix! woo hoo. now to wait for payday friday so I can pay 100 bucks :P

1:36 pm

MLFAN17

molly i have no idea

1:36 pm

cosdem

bo +Z this movie is ****d Pg-13

1:36 pm

cosdem

(ignore the z)

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

ah ty

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

both of you

1:37 pm

MimiCat

But, cos, think of all the money you'll save by not smoking...not just cigarettes but health care costs now and later. I watched my big, strong father die a slow horribly humiliating death from having been a smoker...give it up, please.

1:38 pm

cosdem

Mimi - I asked for the Rx :) I knew how much it would cost but I decided 100 bucks is worth my life :)

1:38 pm

MollyL

It's so hard to clue sometimes. I was sure that interest rate was a commonly known phrase.

1:38 pm

MimiCat

Absolutely, cos...good for you!

1:39 pm

MLFAN17

agree with mimi

1:39 pm

cosdem

if it matters I got the word from your clue :)

1:39 pm

MimiCat

Cos, do you have one of the many prescription discount cards available? They save a fortune. I can steer you toward one if you like.

1:39 pm

cosdem

I am excited Mimi!

1:39 pm

MollyL

Cos, have you done your research on Chatix? If not, please do, before you start taking it.

1:40 pm

cosdem

Ooh thanks for reminding me.. yes I have one let me double check

1:40 pm

cosdem

molly - yes I have. for a few days plus the doc explained what would happen

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

TA6 clue please

1:40 pm

cosdem

*could

1:41 pm

MimiCat

Everything has a down side...I had a friend who took it and he was very successful in quitting. The benefits seem to outweigh the risks/side effects.

1:41 pm

MLFAN17

chantix has ba side effects and can cause a lot of bad things

1:41 pm

cosdem

I have a prescripton savings card from my insurance

1:41 pm

MimiCat

Great, cos! Glad I reminded you!

1:41 pm

cosdem

doc said "one side effect is gaining weirght but thats not a concern. we want that to kick in" lol

1:41 pm

MLFAN17

mimi glad for your friend:)

1:42 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, ML...he sounds so much better on the radio now.

1:42 pm

MLFAN17

mimi not a good place to be puffing or coughing

1:42 pm

MLFAN17

mimi not a good place to be puffing or coughing

1:43 pm

MLFAN17

mimi does your friend eat sweets or other somi habits since kicking that one?

1:43 pm

MollyL

I'm not saying I am against quitting smoking. That is a very good thing. But many of the drugs doctors prescribe have scary possible side effects. Chantix is one of them.

1:43 pm

cosdem

Also found a coupon for chantix online.. 75% off with Rx from doctor

1:44 pm

MimiCat

Hey, guys, could I get a little advice/support? I mentioned before I was basically ending a long friendship due to her lying to me as well as many other issues. She has had her 84-year-old mother call me and now has had her son (my godson) email me trying to get me to contact her. I don't answer the phone but did reply to my godson. I don't want to be cruel but I'm simply done. Any suggestions?

1:44 pm

MLFAN17

molly where i live we get thos warnings nd lawyers advertisements on tv about things like chantix .. very scary

1:45 pm

cosdem

did you explain the situation to your godson?

1:45 pm

MLFAN17

mimi ignore all of them

1:45 pm

MimiCat

I kind of explained, cos. But I didn't say too much because I didn't want to bash his mother.

1:45 pm

MLFAN17

TA 6 clue please?

1:46 pm

MollyL

The fact that she is "using" other people to try to get in contact with you says to me that you made the right decision. Gently tell those playing "go between" that this is none of their concern.

1:46 pm

MLFAN17

torg

1:46 pm

MLFAN17

oops

1:46 pm

MimiCat

I've already told my family to ignore calls from her for their own sake...she would drive them crazy.

1:47 pm

cosdem

This is getting a bit much/// close to stalkering behavir. be careful

1:47 pm

MLFAN17

dnt you just love people who think they have done nothing wrong?

1:47 pm

MimiCat

You're absolutely right, Molly...that kind of behavior is what caused me to make this decision in the first place. I've tried to explain my viewpoint to her but she only gets defensive and attacks me. I just don't need that in my life. What was WRONG with me putting up with that for so long?!

1:49 pm

MimiCat

Then she emails me saying she didn't ask them to contact me...exactly how stupid does she think I am?!!

1:50 pm

MLFAN17

ah riously what family or friends would get involved ike tat if not asked duhh??

1:50 pm

MimiCat

Luckily, cos, she lives in Georgia and I'm in Arizona. Otherwise, she's be at my doorstep on a continual basis.

1:50 pm

MLFAN17

mimi ugghh

1:51 pm

MimiCat

I'm by no means a perfect person but I've hung in there and tried to help her so much but she never acts on anything to make her situation any better..she'd rather just complain about how bad things are. Well, that's just not who I am...I can't respect that.

1:52 pm

MimiCat

I felt now was a good time to end it since I just know when he mother is gone, she'll want to move in with me and have me take care of her....THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN and it's best she knows that now so she can make other plans.

1:53 pm

MollyL

It really is stalker like, obsessive behavior. People like that are disturbed and will have a negative impact on your life.

1:53 pm

Nicky6

ta6 sticky stuff you put on a roof *** + a frying ***

1:54 pm

MLFAN17

mimi how old is she that she thinks she would need someone to take care of her if her mother dies?

1:54 pm

MimiCat

I've been too forgiving in the past with people and it has cost me dearly. How could I have maintained a relationship with a woman who was screwing my boyfriend while I was in the hospital losing his baby? The list goes on....guess I am actually stupid.

1:54 pm

MLFAN17

ty nicky

1:54 pm

MLFAN17

mimi are you serious???

1:54 pm

MollyL

I don't think it is how old she is. It is the fact that she seems to have depended on help from others all her life instead of forging her own path.

1:55 pm

cosdem

Can't you have the phone company block their numbers?

1:55 pm

MLFAN17

molly i agree was just curious

1:55 pm

cosdem

If it gets worse get a TRO on the people who have been calling.

1:55 pm

MLFAN17

you need caller ID

1:56 pm

MollyL

We all make mistakes in relationships. Better to lose the term "stupid" and realize that this is just a lesson that took a while to learn.

1:56 pm

Nicky6

vapor

1:56 pm

Nicky6

oops

1:56 pm

MLFAN17

i have that word already Nicky

1:56 pm

MimiCat

She's 64 but has been on disability (for no good reason, in my opinion) for 20 years. She could not survive financially on her own without her mother's retirement income. You hit it right on the head, Molly....I want peace in my life now, so I'm doing something about it....she never will help herself.

1:56 pm

cosdem

thanks my last V! :)

1:57 pm

MLFAN17

lol cos

1:57 pm

MimiCat

Yes, Molly, I should watch the language I use with myself...stupid is a bad message to send. I'm going to change that message to compassionate and tolerant but within reasonable limits.

1:58 pm

MLFAN17

is that what it means mimi?

1:59 pm

MollyL

Learning to set reasonable boundaries takes some of us (myself included) a long time.

1:59 pm

MLFAN17

OR 6clue please?

2:00 pm

MimiCat

OK---thanks, everyone. As usual, it's nice to have your support and sensible advice. I can't allow my sympathy for her to negatively impact my life...and it has for a long time.

2:00 pm

MLFAN17

i think we all know those feelings molly

2:00 pm

cosdem

annie was one, mlf

2:00 pm

MLFAN17

is that the only or6

2:01 pm

MimiCat

I tried setting boundaries, Molly, thinking that would be a good "hedge" step...but she won't respect them, so I simply have to eliminate the relationship entirely. I know the decision was right because I feel very calm and sure about it.

2:01 pm

cosdem

No idea. Im planning on not listing

2:01 pm

MLFAN17

mimi that is th important part:)

2:02 pm

zoozzoom

That is the only OR6.

2:02 pm

MimiCat

And I just can't afford to send her any more money...especially when she lies to me to get it.

2:03 pm

cosdem

thanks zoom.

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

im6/33 clue please?

2:03 pm

cosdem

I have mi7 whats the other one please>

2:03 pm

zoozzoom

yw :-)

2:03 pm

MimiCat

She's one of those people who cannot take even the most positive suggestion...she gets defensive and attacks...really goes for the jugular and brings up all kind of stuff from decades ago. Who needs that?

2:03 pm

MLFAN17

mimi why would you send her any money??????

2:03 pm

zoozzoom

zoozzoom

Oh...lol...Sorry, Cos :-)

2:04 pm

Jillyjill

Hello babbleworld!

2:05 pm

MollyL

Mimi, from what you have said here, this person discovered that you were once again "money solvent" and immediately started taking advantage of that. It sounds to me like you were giving what you couldn't afford to give in the first place.

2:05 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Jilly :-)

2:05 pm

cosdem

phantom phantom

2:05 pm

MLFAN17

hi jilly

2:05 pm

MLFAN17

ph 7cos

2:06 pm

MimiCat

She said she needed it and she did help me a bit when I had problems after the heart attack. But she forgets and asks me for money for the same thing more than once. I just won't stand for being lied to, especially since I suspect she actually needs the money for substances.

2:06 pm

MimiCat

Molly, you are very astute. I can always rely on you to put the exactly right perspective on things!

2:06 pm

MollyL

Oh well, if this is about abuse and addiction, those people lie like they were born to do it.

2:07 pm

MimiCat

((Jilly))

2:07 pm

MLFAN17

so true molly

2:07 pm

Jillyjill

Hi mimi dear ((hugs))

2:07 pm

I don't know about astute. I've just had some lived experience that can lend perspective on occasion.

2:07 pm

uusue2

hi all!

2:08 pm

zoozzoom

That sucks, Mimi...I loaned a so called friend £5000 And since then have never seen them again. And that was over 8 years ago.

2:08 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Sue :-)

2:08 pm

MLFAN17

these i words are driving me nuts

2:08 pm

MLFAN17

hi zooz

2:08 pm

uusue2

hi zooz!

2:08 pm

MollyL

Some of the best advice I ever heard is "never lend anyone money you expect to get back"

2:09 pm

MimiCat

I've sent her $400 since August....each time because the "car broke down." Well, they've replaced everything in it now! Last time she asked for $150 because they were going to turn off her electric...yeah, right...that doesn't happen for just one month of being late, so I did not send it and decided I was just done.

2:09 pm

zoozzoom

Mlf..you mean you are becoing IR 5/10 trying to find the Is..lol#

2:09 pm

Hi, sue!!!

2:10 pm

zoozzoom

Don't forget to add a letter on the end for the IR6

2:10 pm

MimiCat

I never expected to get it back, Molly, I just don't appreciate being lied to and also her attitude was like she somehow was entitled.

2:10 pm

MLFAN17

mimi once you are in you are in

2:10 pm

MollyL

And I really, truly hope that everyone here learned a lesson about "sending money to people who cry poor on the internet". I still feel bad for everyone who got taken in that scam.

2:11 pm

zoozzoom

Sounds to me as if you have done the best thing then, Mimi.

2:11 pm

MLFAN17

zooz thats bizarre i tried that word befo and it never went in now it does geez

2:11 pm

MimiCat

I'm going to get back to work and stop dominating the chat. Thanks again, everyone. The support is much appreciated. HAGD and hugs all around.

2:11 pm

MLFAN17

mimi you should have asked her for proof

2:12 pm

zoozzoom

Yes many people gave money to that cause, Molly..very sad for people to be used like that.

hi cos

2:50 pm

hego

Did you see the film on FB of Helen Keller learning to speak?

2:50 pm

hego

Amazing!

2:54 pm

cosdem

A lot of people do not understand this because they are not 100% understanding of the Deaf community but posts such as these are offensive to us. You see - to the Deaf community being Deaf is an identity (see how I captialize the D). Its kind of like gay conversion therapy to the Deaf community. I do appreciate the amazing techniques in these posts/videos though. I know people mean well by posting but it does make us feel cheap.

2:55 pm

hego

Well, I apologize if you are offended.

2:55 pm

hego

But I still admire her greatly.

2:56 pm

hi all

And I do understand what you're saying.

Hi Jes.

No need to apologize. I know these things are not meant to offend! JUst had to vent lol

NP Dear.

2:57 pm

cosdem

And yes she is a person to be admired.There is a massive photo ofher in our main hall at work

2:58 pm

hego

But you have to consider that she was not a sighted person.

2:58 pm

jesdraggon

i have not seen the post, and so know nothing about it specifically. cos, please explain how it is offensive? (100% sincere, it has never occured to me that teaching a deaf person to speak would be offensive?) is it something particular to the video?

teaching speech is considered offensive becausse to the community the language we speak is ASL and not spoken english

people with cochlear implants are called Borgs (mean, I dont call them that but a lot of people do) because they feel they are trying to be assimilated by the "hearing community"

2:59 pm

hego

But what if you're also blind?

3:00 pm

hego

Maybe they're just trying to make their life easier.

3:00 pm

jesdraggon

even if verbal is a second language/ not a "you can't learn ASL, it's not as good" attitude, but just a "knowing both gives more flexibility/opportunity?"

3:00 pm

cosdem

It is a valid point hego - I do see both sides

3:01 pm

hego

You're a smart person Cos.

3:01 pm

cosdem

yes I advoate providing both options to families of new borns who are deaf. but doctors usually just recommend cochlear implants/spoken english and do nto say a word about ASL

3:01 pm

jesdraggon

I mean, very few people outside of the community will be very good at ASL, so knowing verbal english seems like it would be an advantage?

3:01 pm

cosdem

that is due to the powerful lobbying force of the alexander graham bell associastion. Mr. Bell himself was a huge opponent of ASL

3:02 pm

cosdem

google it. its all very fascinasting history about one of America's so-called heroes.

3:02 pm

hego

why would he oppose ASL, for pete's sake?

3:03 pm

cosdem

My philosphy is to teach younger kids signed exact english and convert to asl i high school so they have a good grasp of the english structure. that is what I did.

3:03 pm

jesdraggon

I certainly wouldn't discourage learning ASL, of course! I wish I was better at it myself, as is I can finger-spell (slowly) and that's not very effective for communicating with my handful of deaf clients...we usually end up passing a notebook back and forth.

3:03 pm

cosdem

a loot of deaf people disagree. they think ASL at birth which I think destroys their chances of being gramar-smart

3:04 pm

cosdem

besides I had deaf parents too so I had access to language at day 1. 90% of deaf kids do not have access to language til 4 or 5 yesrs old

3:04 pm

jesdraggon

Because you can't use ASL over the phone, hego? I dunno... but there are people who get all uptight that kids speak Spanish too, which I've never understood. I always figured any version of multi-ligual was a potential advantage.

3:04 pm

cosdem

Deaf people have video phones free provided by the FCC. its nice

3:05 pm

hego

I agree Jes.

3:05 pm

hego

Learn all you can of everything.

3:05 pm

jaxx7

Cos, if you had seen the woman who had received two cochlear implants after being deaf since birth (she was 40) who was fascinated by the sounds around her. She burst into tears when they switched everything on. The best of it was that despite being deaf for 40 years she spoke with a local accent.

3:05 pm

hego

that is interesting.

3:06 pm

cosdem

Jaxx I saw it. I was happy for her but for 40 - 50 people to tag me in it is quite annoying because if may have been what she wanted -- do not assume it is what I want is all I am saying.

3:07 pm

jaxx7

Very, because she hadn't been hearing long enough to get the accent that way.

3:07 pm

hego

right

3:07 pm

jesdraggon

completely ignorant question here, cos - when you read, do you 'sound' words out? how does that work if you don't know what the words sound like? I've never thought of that before...

3:07 pm

flosey

that is interesting, cos, I was just thinking what a shock it would be to suddently hear SO MUCH

3:07 pm

jaxx7

It was.

3:07 pm

hego

migth be unsettling

3:08 pm

hego

might

3:08 pm

cosdem

I picture the words in my head so when I read words appear in my head.

3:08 pm

cosdem

If I had my hearing aids I would be able to hear and recognize a few things. my name, phone ringing, dogs barking, cars honking.. so I know what its like to hear but.. thats good enough for me :)

3:08 pm

MollyL

I would love it if America was more inclusive of American Sign Language. As a country, we seem to pay more attention to people who speak foreign language than our own citizens. Sad.

3:09 pm

jaxx7

She was having therapy to introduce her to all the everyday sounds gradually.

3:09 pm

cosdem

I do want to get hearing aids again. I miss hearing my dog bark lol

3:09 pm

jesdraggon

makes sense. so, if I ever say anything that's inconsiderate/privileged/offensive, poke me - I will do my best to shut up and listen, cuz I am aware of my own ingnorance :)

3:10 pm

jaxx7

There are times when I wish I could turn our parrot off. He screeches at 200 decibels when my husband leaves the room.

3:10 pm

jesdraggon

(well, see, there you are - perhaps 'shut up and pay attention' would have been better phrasing?)

3:11 pm

cosdem

I know no one here mean any offense when they say things but sometimes I feel liek I should clear the air lol

3:11 pm

jaxx7

Cos, I had hearing problems years ago and I found being deaf very isolating. Do you find that or have you adjusted?

3:11 pm

jesdraggon

anyhoo... someone just handed me a chart and a cup of pee, so off I go.

3:12 pm

hego

anyway, H Keller chose to learn to speak orally and she did it by placing her hand on her instructor's face in such a way that she could feel her lips, larynx and nose vibrate.

3:12 pm

hego

I thought she was amazing.

3:12 pm

hego

Nobody ever hands me a cup of anything. Maybe that's a good thing.

3:13 pm

jaxx7

and so she was.

3:13 pm

cosdem

You should read the story of Alice Cogswell a deaf-mute who was the first American to learn to read and sign.

3:13 pm

cosdem

She deserves equal standing as Helen Keller. both pioneers.

3:13 pm

hego

these people are inspiring, for sure.

3:14 pm

jaxx7

I will, can I get it off Amazon. Our local library is unlikely to have it. can I google it?

3:14 pm

cosdem

google is best

3:14 pm

cosdem

wikipedia has a very accurate article

3:14 pm

hego

Always

3:14 pm

jaxx7

Thanks. I will definitely google it.

3:15 pm

MollyL

Cos, you are much more accepting of people and what they say in chat than others. Good for you.

3:15 pm

cosdem

Thomas Gallaudet, Laurent Clerc, Alice Cogswell and Abraham Lincoln are the key players :)

3:16 pm

hego

Cos is a rational human being.

3:16 pm

cosdem

There is a reason Abe's hands are shaped in "A" and "L" in ASL at the lincoln memorial! He was a huge supporter of ASL

3:16 pm

flosey

I will look for that story, cos, very interesting

3:17 pm

cosdem

Excellent museum on campus of Gallaudet University in DC. If you are in the area check it out

3:17 pm

cosdem

Free to the public too.

3:17 pm

jaxx7

Is BSL the same or similar to ASL?

3:19 pm

cosdem

No. BSL is different but there are similarities. ASL is most simiar to FSL which ASL Is based off. Laurent Clerc was a frenchman.

3:19 pm

cosdem

Trivia: Princess Diana knew BSL and gave a speech in BSL once.

3:19 pm

cosdem

she was on the board of the british assoc. of the deaf

3:20 pm

MollyL

There are mixed opinions about the Lincoln statue. Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, was the father of a deaf son.

3:20 pm

jaxx7

They offer BSL classes at our local Community College.

3:20 pm

cosdem

He also designed the Thomas Gallaudet and ALice Cogswell sculpture at Gallaudet U

3:20 pm

cosdem

I know the abcs in BSL lol

3:21 pm

cosdem

Molly is right.. differing stories about Abe but the deaf community tends to believe one :)

3:21 pm

jaxx7

It will take you a while to swear at a Brit then

3:21 pm

cosdem

there are NO websites that teaches BSL but plenty that teaches ASL sadly

3:23 pm

jaxx7

When my son was alive he was supported for a while by the prince's trust, Prince Charles' idea to help unemployed youngsters. he came back with all the swear words in BSL but nothing more educational.

3:24 pm

cosdem

My boss just texted me. Said she has marked on my evaulation "meets all requirements" i should know if my job will be certified soon

3:24 pm

jaxx7

Good news, Cosdem.

3:24 pm

hego

Good luck Cos!

3:24 pm

MollyL

Yay and yay, pours another shot for Cos!!

3:24 pm

cosdem

lol thats the same for ASL for people.they like to learn the swears.. My rule is if I teah you.. the swears are last.

3:25 pm

cosdem

good idea. brb shot time! last day of vacation

3:25 pm

jaxx7

I think folk like the idea of being able to be insulting without the majority knowing what they say.

3:25 pm

MollyL

ASL and BSL are making me wonder why there is not a world wide sign language.

3:26 pm

jaxx7

Esperanto SL! Good idea Molly

3:27 pm

MollyL

Probably because of all the different spellings, especially between "British English" and "American English".

3:28 pm

jaxx7

Why shouldn't deaf Brits and Americans get away with not being separated by a common language?

3:29 pm

jaxx7

Meant should.

3:30 pm

MollyL

True, and the deaf Americans don't have to be bothered signing all those extra "u's" : D

3:31 pm

jaxx7

Hey, the 'u's were there first.

3:32 pm

jaxx7

So were the 'ph's

3:33 pm

cosdem

There is a new form of sign called USL (universal) but people are resistant to it as there is a rich history behind each language. how would you feel for example one day you were told not to speak your language anymore?

3:34 pm

cosdem

USL is very easy to understand though.

3:34 pm

jaxx7

Couldn't it be done phoeticaaly?

3:35 pm

cosdem

visual phontics were tried bbut abandoned this past year as a failure

3:35 pm

jaxx7

Phonetically even. What on earth was that?

3:35 pm

cosdem

I was trained in that when I worked as a teachers aide in Iowa and it did not benefit the kids at all.

3:35 pm

hego

that was the mind going faster than the fingers, Jaxx.

3:35 pm

Nicky6

help with the re 5,10?

3:35 pm

jaxx7

Shouldn't it be verbal phonetics as this is a language?

3:36 pm

hego

looking for that one too.

3:37 pm

hego

why not retar?

3:37 pm

cosdem

The probem is most of the research is done at Gallaudet University and they are a privately funded school so they depend on donations and it is not well known so we are behind in research on deaf ed.

3:37 pm

Nicky6

retar

3:37 pm

jaxx7

I agree.

3:37 pm

Nicky6

tried that one too

3:37 pm

cosdem

Thanks for listening :)

3:38 pm

MollyL

Apparently, once you have tarred, you may never tar again.

3:38 pm

hego

for sure

3:38 pm

jaxx7

LOL

3:38 pm

worzel

in the last year I have noticed a lot of earlier re words are no longer allowed

3:38 pm

cosdem

you cant remate either accordiing to yesterdays grid

3:38 pm

MollyL

Psst...we took the U's out so words would be less cumbersome to spell. : D

3:38 pm

cosdem

My brother must have a different father then.

3:39 pm

jaxx7

A bit lazy really

3:39 pm

cosdem

I have a friend on FB who changes every word I type to the british version if there is one :P

3:39 pm

cosdem

I do prefer the brit version. I find it . well. lets not go there

3:40 pm

jaxx7

I have persuaded one of my family tree branch owners to always include the u when she contacts me. A small victory for a small country

3:41 pm

cosdem

My last name is british so I have a bit of heritage there

3:41 pm

MollyL

And I'm confused about where a u goes and where it does not. Colour...yes...actour...no...labour...\nyes...majour...
no...and the list goes on. It's peculiar.

3:42 pm

cosdem

youur? :)

3:42 pm

jaxx7

My married name is Welsh - now that is a language hard to read and pronounce.

3:42 pm

Oh crap, I blew the chat width. Sorry.

3:42 pm

Off with her head!

3:43 pm

cosdem

That Oz show looks interesting Molly btw

3:43 pm

hego

Was that you?

3:43 pm

jaxx7

Molly, that is English for you. So many roots for so many different words. I always use to confuse the foul mouthed studeats at the school where I worked by asking them to give up the Anglo Saxon when they used f you

3:45 pm

cosdem

Also looking forward to "Gotham City"

3:49 pm

Nicky6

ok found the re 5,10 re + the first three letters of a jeweled crown

it is an absolutely gorgeous Spring day here today - sun is shining, nice and warm - was out on the deck absorbing the gorgeous sunshine - should help me get rid of this nasty cold

5:20 pm

cosdem

A week from today it will be mid 70s all week cannot wait

5:20 pm

penquis

i am excited because we will have highs in the mid 40's all week, lol...

5:21 pm

wvteach

After having snow on ther ground yesterday morning - todays spring day is doubly appreciated. The front door is open to enjoy the fresh air before evening sets in

5:21 pm

cosdem

the low of the next 7 days is 45 with a high of 64

5:21 pm

cosdem

snow on thurs though :(

5:23 pm

flosey

nice to hear about everyone's Coming of Spring

5:23 pm

flosey

and cos, that snow won't last

5:23 pm

cosdem

Naw. with a low of 40 it wont stick

5:24 pm

cosdem

45 I mean

5:24 pm

flosey

it has been a real boost for me, have been down with this cold since week yesterday

5:26 pm

flosey

I don't know what temp is - this dummy has not learned to transfer from C to F in order for it to have any meaning - first thing I learned was the grams/lb when buying lunch meat to make the kids lunches

5:26 pm

phandmd

flosey, you can google the conversion, they will figure it out for you

5:27 pm

flosey

yes, thanks phand but when in grocery store, I just look at size of what I want - so silly, really, I could have learned while the kids were taking it in school

5:28 pm

flosey

it was just plain stubbornness and not facing the fact that I would need it

5:29 pm

jaxx7

Double C and add 30.gives an approx value 10c=50F

5:29 pm

flosey

thanks jaxx, now that is nice and easy forthis muddled old brain

5:30 pm

jaxx7

The actual formula is really complicated, this is straightforward.

5:32 pm

jaxx7

My cat has just flung herself on my desk. Mad animal

5:32 pm

flosey

it is now 54F on our back deck

5:33 pm

flosey

front deck was a bit warmer because sun shining down on it

5:33 pm

flosey

ah, kittie wants some attention??

5:34 pm

jaxx7

50F is warm enough not to wear a heavy coat. Below and you shiver.

5:35 pm

flosey

yes, a lighter jacket is fine

5:36 pm

jaxx7

I don't know, but she slid along the desk, fell off the end and started howling while burrowing into the electrics. I have just put mad feline out into the garden, she can be crazy out there.

5:37 pm

flosey

lol, perhaps a good place for her, she can frighten away any little creatures who might be after your bulb type flowers

5:39 pm

jaxx7

She brings in voles but does not kill them. One scared little animal put its nose into the corner of the hall, working in the ostrich principle, and shook. I confined cat and put small wee beastie out into the back garden. Fia howled for two hours after that.

5:40 pm

flosey

ah, she thought she was bringing you a treat!

5:41 pm

jaxx7

it is the dead soggy birds that I hate.

5:42 pm

flosey

I would not enjoy that - we had to teach cat that we fed them because we enjoy them - have lots of birds around

5:43 pm

flosey

he seems tohave understood

5:44 pm

flosey

had a raccoon up on the deck outside my office - hubby went out and frightened him away with a broom

5:44 pm

kje

during the day?

5:44 pm

flosey

Our cat has decided that he is an outdoor animal, so we keep his food dish on an upper deck, no access except poll

5:45 pm

flosey

hes kj, it was about an hour ago

5:45 pm

flosey

not a very big fella, ran like crazy

5:45 pm

kje

raccoons out during the day is very unusual... either starving and can't find food, or ill. I'd be careful

5:46 pm

flosey

oh, thanks, will see that can doesn't try to frighten them away all by himself

5:47 pm

flosey

cat (not can)

5:47 pm

jaxx7

She was abandoned as a kitten and lived in a dumpster in a car park in Cornwall. No 4 went on Holiday and brought her back about 10 years ago. She moves between us at No 7 and No 4 depending who she considers treats her better. It is our turn at the moment. She is used to looking after herself and confines bird catching to the front garden while the birds are fed at the back. She never goes near our pet birds or our hens.

5:47 pm

kje

they are usually nocturnal, come out at dusk

5:47 pm

jaxx7

We don't have that problem in the Uk but we do have foxes and badgers.

5:48 pm

flosey

yes, very true jk

5:48 pm

kje

I had dozens of raccoons at one point... cavorting all through the trees at night causing a ruckus during heat. bold critters

5:48 pm

kje

two lived in my attic... gave me fleas!

5:49 pm

flosey

we have a creek running through the property - all the way up the valley, and have had an otter problem - fortunately we don't have chickens

5:49 pm

jaxx7

A bit of a scare on at the moment as people have been infected with TB from their cats. The cats are thought to have been attacked by badgers.

5:49 pm

kje

yep, I had a creek across the back of my property.... prob why they liekd my place so much

5:49 pm

flosey

oh they are bold and my goodness, they'd make qhite a racket in the attic??

5:50 pm

flosey

quite - not qh

5:50 pm

kje

I woke up one night and heard all this chattering. Looked out the window nd they were running through the trees having a gay old time. I turned on the back light and they all turned to look at me, then just sat there staring. Pretty sure they were sizing me up and determining they could take me ; )

5:51 pm

flosey

lol, time to go back in and lock the doors!

5:51 pm

kje

I was inside! I had these huge windows that overlooked the backyard

5:52 pm

kje

it is very creepy to sit there and watch them all eyeing you

5:52 pm

flosey

ah, lovely

5:52 pm

flosey

yes, was thinking that

5:52 pm

MollyL

A gay old time...just like The Flintstones!
