good morning

as usual, I'm here when everybody else is sleeping....

hugs and kisses ruby
3:54 am
rubyfoo

hello, rosie!!!! I am happy to see you. You are definitely a ray of sunshine in this endless rain. I had rained, off and on, every day for more than 3 weeks. I'm getting moldy
3:54 am
rubyfoo

it has*
3:56 am
grannyrose

ewww, poor ruby. not much help from me....we are expecting a massive wind-storm. apparently the wind is sooo cold it will feel like -30 here.
3:56 am
rubyfoo

that is very unusual for there, non?
3:57 am
grannyrose

very unusual weather. the wind has swept up from the south pole. poor tasmania has copped it really bad. and we are expecting snow in south australia...
3:58 am
rubyfoo

We get very narrow, piercing windstorms through our valley, but they're not usually cold, just noisy and unpleasant and very local. Rarely, we get wind that carries Saharan sand which coats everything with fine yellow dust, particularly interesting after a snowstorm "Don't eat the yellow snow!'
3:58 am
grannyrose

lolol, we say the same of yellow snow, but for a different reason.
3:59 am
rubyfoo

(US TOO). wHEN I WAS A KID, MY MOTHER USED TO MAKE ME SNOW ICE CREAM, SNOW +MAPLE SYRUP
3:59 am
rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for shouting
4:00 am
grannyrose

oooohhhh, now that sounds yummy.
4:03 am
rubyfoo

What makes it funny is that we had a candy store and I had ice cream once or twice every day but Mother's snow ice cream was still special (as was my mother). Can you imagine? I still miss her and she's been gone about 20+ years!
4:05 am
grannyrose

yes i can understand it, ruby. when your mum is /was such a special person, you will never stop missing her.
4:07 am
rubyfoo

It makes me sad that she never got to see my dogs, my garden, my house, etc. My dadd made it here once before he died and he was past 90! But she died about 7 years before him
4:08 am
rubyfoo

ooh, I found the dy6 on my own

4:12 am

ah, so that's what happened. that's okay, you had a good excuse.
4:13 am
rubyfoo

I'm OK but the endless rain is getting me down. Everything hurts; I must be getting old! lol

puglet

walker took her and elsie with him to river and never kept a eye on them and one of the farmers came up to the house and threaten to shoot her the next time she came there. Shes not mean at all but due to her size they are afraid of her
4:15 am
rubyfoo

I am always afraid that the dogs will get out. The last time Rufe escaped, he wound up in the middle of the road in the village with cars whizzing by on both sides.
4:15 am
grannyrose

gosh, that man is not to be trusted with anything. i think most of his brain cells must be pickled.
4:15 am

Iam really worried about you Rose and Ruby, rain is suppose to be good luck-lol
4:15 am
rubyfoo

He's a great dog, but not ec=actly brilliant

oh, i remember that ruby. you were nearly beside yourself with worry.
4:16 am

it was stormy here yesterday too

good morning all
4:53 am

here i am, darling. just hanging around in the hopes i would see you. xoxox
4:53 am

hello dear rose :) How are you today? Any improvement in the feet?
4:55 am
grannyrose

sprite, i have ankles again....lol
4:55 am
sprite

woooooot! Yay for ankles, lol. Must feel better.
4:55 am
grannyrose

i saw your email. thank-you sweetie. your words as always are so encouraging.
4:56 am

*hugs rose* least I can do for my friend, right? ;)
4:57 am
grannyrose

have just been watching footage of the situation in palestine/israel/gaza. i'm weeping for those poor innocents caught in the middle.
4:57 am
grannyrose

how are you, dearest? have you had a reasonable night?
4:58 am
sprite

I don't watch or follow the news. Will ho4 those people in my prayers though.
5:00 am
grannyrose

please do, sprite. i wish someone/some country/ some power would pick up all those fighting and dump them in the sahara, and they can fight it out there. did you see pugs post in chat. she sends her love.
5:00 am
sprite

just read it, yes. So sorry to have missed her. I had a very unexpected sleep-in.
5:04 am
sprite

we need a planet without any technology. To dump everyone who wants to fight on. No weapons. Food distributed to each person once a day.
5:05 am
grannyrose

nice to have the sleep-in. or was the sleep-in because your night was disturbed?
5:06 am
sprite

very late in falling asleep. And weird dreams.
5:07 am
grannyrose

i've been awake since 3am, and it is now 8pm. so i am pretty tired tonight.
5:07 am
sprite

ouch yes. That is not good. How come you didn't sleep longer last night?
5:09 am
grannyrose

night was a tad warmer than the last 2 weeks. i burned on and off since 3 am.
5:09 am
sprite

oh so very uncomfortable :( Am sorry, rose. I hope this night will be better.
5:10 am
grannyrose

we are supposed to get some pretty rough weather later tonight and tomorrow. high winds, straight up from the south pole. chill factor expected to be -30 in some places. unheard of snow expected in south australia.
5:11 am
sprite

weather all around the world seems to be off.
5:12 am
grannyrose

yeah, ruby was saying she has had rain for the last 2 weeks(?) i think she said.
5:13 am
sprite

yes, and we are having alternating heat waves and periods of nonstop rain, or absolutely crazy amounts of rain.
5:13 am
grannyrose

too weird!!
5:14 am
sprite

climate changes, looks like. Will be interesting to see how it develops. If the poles melt too much, we will have to emigrate here, lol.
5:15 am
grannyrose

we all will emigrate....to the himalayas...
5:15 am
sprite

lol
5:16 am
grannyrose

or mount everest....whichever is closer...
5:16 am
sprite

hey, I want the same mountain as you will be on!
5:17 am
grannyrose

it will be like that film...total recall....there will be isolated colonies all over the place....so long as you, me, both nancy's and liz are all in the same one.
5:18 am
sprite

that is what I mean, lol. As long as we can be together, we will survive.
5:18 am

5:20 am

you know, i can just picture it. you, me, both hubbies in a restaurant. them chatting away, you and i just looking at one another, and every now and then bursting out laughing.
5:20 am
sprite

lolollllll too true!
5:22 am
grannyrose

ah, love, i know i have to wait, but i am so excited by the thought that within a year you and i will be on the same square foot of land.
5:22 am
sprite

me too! Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that.
5:22 am
lbdawger

good morning!
5:22 am

better make that a square yard...pugs will e there too
5:22 am

hi dawg!
5:23 am
grannyrose

good morning lbd
5:23 am
lbdawger

Hiya, Sprite and Rose!
5:23 am
grannyrose

of course, even with a square yard, bits of us will hang over the edges. not pugs, though.
5:24 am
grannyrose

cos she will be squished in between us...lolol
5:25 am
sprite

pugs is slim, we are not, lol. Oh, imagine being able to hug the two of you for real.

thank you, thank you :) *takes bow, hands out autographed pictures*
5:29 am
sprite

how are you today, dawg?
5:29 am
grannyrose

hey, that's something i haven't got...a signed picture of my beloved friend. what about it, hun?
5:30 am
lbdawger

*snags autographed picture* :) I'm doing okay. up early and now enjoying the coolness of the morning.
5:30 am
sprite

not that many pictures of me in the world, tbh. I don't like being photographed. I tend to look so stupid on pics.
5:31 am
sprite

ah, coolness is so nice, dawg. And when it is early, it is so quiet too.
5:32 am
lbdawger

reading back a little in the chat, weather weirdness everywhere, hotter than necessary here. Rose, hope the body continues to heal. Sprite, you're silly, I bet you are as lovely in person as you project here in the chat.
5:32 am
grannyrose

well you're going to have to have one on the dust jacket of your book.
5:32 am
lbdawger

yes, it is quiet. something to enjoy along with the coolness.
5:33 am
sprite

aw dawg, thanks *blush* No I really photograph weird. But yeah, the book, indeed. I'll autograph your copy for you, rose :)
5:33 am
sprite

I love being up and about before the rest of the world.
5:34 am
grannyrose

* gives smug grin *
5:34 am
grannyrose

and that's not true, sprite. liz's pics of you both were stunning.
5:35 am
lbdawger

and when will your book be available in the states, sprite?
5:35 am
sprite

just got the news that they are gonna do a translation of them, dawg. So no date available yet, might still take quite a while. But it is going to happen!
5:36 am
lbdawger

woot! Hope it wont take too long, but later is better than never.
5:37 am
sprite

true. Am so happy with the news. And I get to see the translation before it goes public and I get to change things I don't like. So that is really awesome.
5:39 am
lbdawger

I'm so excited for you! so many try their hand at writing and give up because of the trials of getting published. and being an international author...WOW!!
5:41 am
sprite

yeah I think it is a great initiative of my publisher. It is not like I am a bestselling author here at all. But my publisher has struck a deal with an american publisher/book club and this is the outcome.
5:42 am
lbdawger

babblers will help make you that best selling author! :)
5:42 am
sprite

wouldn't that be awesome??? I really hope it will spread from babble.
5:43 am
lbdawger

well, once it gets out, and you let us all know...we'll promote it, at least I know I will!
5:44 am
sprite

thank you, dawg :D
5:44 am
grannyrose

and i from here in oz land
5:45 am
sprite

thank you, rose :D How can it fail with such good promotors?
5:46 am
lbdawger

:-) book-aholic here.
5:47 am
sprite

oh same here! Best thing there is, a good book to read.
5:48 am
lbdawger

yup. coworkers don't understand how I can have no clue as to who "famous" people are...I just laugh and say "If they aren't in the books I read, I haven't a clue who they are."
5:49 am
sprite

lol I love that.
5:50 am
grannyrose

going for night-time meds. brb
5:50 am
sprite

we have 'famous' Dutch people whose claim to fame is that they are... famous. I mean, how stupid is that?
5:50 am
sprite

hurry back, rose
5:51 am
sprite

oh, btw, a babbler pointed me to a great book about the english language: the glamour of grammar. I loved every letter of it.
5:52 am
lbdawger

it's silly! we get actors here in the valley that want their anonymity, fine with me, I don't know who they are anyway! lol
5:53 am
sprite

hahahaha exactly.
5:54 am
lbdawger

putting glamour of grammar on my to be read list.
5:55 am

I can recommend it. It is interesting, it has humour, and it makes you think.
5:55 am

good morning, Sprite, you must let us know when your book will be available in the US. I am so proud of you. I am an avid reader.

Hi Scrabbs

Boom, boom, crack, crack, and very heavy rains.
5:58 am

awww scrabs, no good. are you safe?
5:59 am

so rude
5:59 am
Scrabbler

Oh, yes, Granny. No fallen trees. No power outage.
6:00 am
lbdawger

do the bunnies get upset with loud weather occurances, scrabs?
6:01 am
grannyrose

okay then. stay a whiles....enjoy the company...then perhaps to sleep and dream again. not necessarily in that order...lol
6:03 am
sprite

Tim leaves for a couple of days today... Caya wants to cook dinner tonight... my love and I are enjoying a day of relaxation, lol
6:03 am
Scrabbler

They seem ok, dawg. If they were upset they would start thumping, and there I times I hear them do that. It is usually animals outside, I guess.
6:04 am
grannyrose

so nice, sprite. where is the boyo off too? and i say, go for it, caya, with my blessings...
6:04 am
lbdawger

clue for en6?
6:05 am
grannyrose

e + double consonant + use your h*** to think
6:05 am

I've always wondered about "silent" pets, and how they expressed stress or upset. glad to hear your furbabies are okay.
6:05 am
sprite

it is called 'sneek week', a get-together for young people in Sneek, a town in Friesland. Some go surfing on the lake. The rest will 'chill', hang out, chat, use their mobile phones and drink.
6:05 am

ty, rose...fish slap! looking at wrong E
6:05 am

bunnies can stamp, and growl, right Scrabs?
6:06 am

good morning everyone:)
6:06 am

nice sprite, just what he needs...and what the rest of you need, come to think of it.
6:06 am
sprite

yeah it comes at a good time, rose, that is true.
6:06 am
grannyrose

whoot!!! good morning crossy
6:07 am
lbdawger

morning, crossy. Sprite, sounds like a pleasant time for everyone.
6:07 am
sprite

crossy! *hugs* How've you been, dear friend? I heard you finally have an appointment with the neck doctor?
6:07 am
Scrabbler

They thump their back feet as a way to send an alert to other rabbits. They do growl when mad too.
6:07 am
Scrabbler

Hi Crossy
6:08 am
sprite

when I was a child we had a dwarf bunny. He could growl at our dog so angrily and our dog, who was easily 20 times as big, was cowed by it.
6:08 am
lbdawger

I've heard of thumping, but not growling. ferocious bunnies! yikes
6:09 am
grannyrose

um, scrabs? that sounds just like my 1 year old grandson.
6:09 am
lbdawger

lol, rose!
6:09 am
sprite

*giggles*
6:12 am
Scrabbler

Toddlers are uncivilized, unsocialized beasts. I tell that to parents in my office to explain toddler behavior. The parents' job is to civilize and socialize the child. And that often never happens.
6:12 am
grannyrose

and now it's time to take those night-time meds....i had better sleep tonight....or i will be cutting someone's throat in the morning...probably my own...
6:12 am
sprite

so true, Scrabs. So many parents don't seem to understand they have a JOB to do.'
6:13 am
lbdawger

sweet sleeps, Rose. count bunnies if you can't turn off your brain to sleep.
6:13 am
sprite

aw rose, darling. You will sleep fine tonight. I am singing you a lullaby. *hugs*
6:13 am
lbdawger

you mean the little blighters don't raise themselves? Shock! say it isn't so!
6:14 am
sprite

oh they raise themselves fine... into antisocial misfits.
6:14 am
grannyrose

scrabs, you will be pleased to know this child's mother did not come down in the last shower. in fact, she is one of the most accomplished young mother i know.
6:15 am
Scrabbler

Great news, Granny.
6:15 am
crosshair

indeed sprite, appt is set for this October:)
6:15 am
lbdawger

that's nice to hear, rose.
6:16 am
crosshair

all my favorite babblers;))
6:16 am
sprite

crossy, am so glad! You had to wait for so long.
6:16 am
grannyrose

yeah, my eldest grandson, threww a tantrum at about the same age. i watched as she stepped OVER the screaming child, and she said...that will get you no-where, mate.
6:17 am
sprite

good for her! I have done exactly the same thing... in the supermarket... when Tim was that age.
6:19 am
lbdawger

I love tough love parents!
6:20 am
grannyrose

oh, don't start me on tales of 'toddlers'. i was in a supermarket with my eldest, he was about 9 months old and still being breast-fed. half way through the supermarket, (he was sitting in the baby/toddler seat of the trolley) he yanked down my t-shirt to get at my boobs. my goodness, the screams because i wouldn't feed him then and there.
6:21 am
sprite

lol my son once asked me: "And what if I don't want to be polite to my boss, and what if I want to burp in front of the queen?" And I told him: "It is not my job to make that kind of choices for you. It is my job to make sure you HAVE a choice at such moments."
6:22 am
sprite

lololll rose! And you refused him sustenance there and then? How cruel :D
6:22 am
Marc Freeman

Could I get the stats for the 7 please?
6:22 am
sprite

hi Marc, En7/44. It is a compound.
6:23 am
Marc Freeman

thanks
6:23 am
grannyrose

exactly, sprite. and because we give those kids the choice, with a firm direction towards the correct selection, we are the world's worst parents.
6:23 am
lbdawger

WTG worst parents!
6:23 am
Scrabbler

Life is all about choices and consequences. If____, then____.
6:23 am
sprite

yeah so they claim. But at some point, I am sure they will appreciate being able to choose.
6:23 am
sprite

very true, Scrabs
6:24 am
grannyrose

marc, en7, the final + how we describe a unit of chess, tennis, baseball
6:25 am
Marc Freeman

Bottom line no matter what you do or how we treat our kids in the end we don't get a vote
6:25 am
lbdawger

knowing they have a choice is one thing, getting them to see that not all choices are good is another. I think that's the hardest lesson for kids to learn.
6:25 am
sprite

yes, I think so too. And some things they will only learn the hard way.
6:25 am
grannyrose

sprite, to whit, my eldest...??? the one who insists that my incorporating religious instruction as part of his up-bringing is abuse??
6:26 am
grannyrose

how can he make an informed decision, if he doesn't have all the information?
6:27 am
sprite

rose, your eldest needs his butt kicked. He should appreciate your efforts. Knowing about religion is imperative, I think. It is part of our culture.
6:27 am
Scrabbler

I must get ready for work, folks. Enjoy the day.
6:27 am
lbdawger

I'm not sure kids understand the word...abuse. religion can provide some insightful lessons.
6:27 am
lbdawger

hagd, scrabs.
6:28 am
sprite

bye Scrabs, have a good day at work
6:28 am
grannyrose

enjoy, scrabs. xoxox
6:28 am
sprite

if they think learning about religion in a relaxed way is abuse, they are damn lucky children. Who haven't been close to abuse at all.
6:29 am
Marc Freeman

Unfortunately we have to let them make their own mistakes and be there to support them when they realize the mistake they made. It's really frustrating.
6:31 am
sprite

it is
6:31 am
grannyrose

so agree, marc. i have been waiting for nearly 8 years. that is how long since my eldest has spoken to me without being abusive
6:32 am
lbdawger

the joys of parenting. I'm really enjoying being a grandparent. watching my son and dil raise their children is fun and frustrating. mostly I'm impressed by their fortitude in not raising their hands or voices to their kids. Although I can see the twinkle of mischief in my son's eyes when he really wants to be sarcastic to his oldest boy.
6:33 am
lbdawger

granted, the kids are 9, 5 and 6 months. it's still fun to watch.
6:33 am
sprite

sarcasm can cut harder than a loud voice
6:35 am
Marc Freeman

My first granddaughter is just 5 weeks old and my daughter is just realizing what a good mother she had. they had a difficult relationship and now it is just getting better and better.
6:35 am
sprite

wow Marc, that is good news
6:36 am
grannyrose

nice, marc.
6:36 am
Marc Freeman

Yes we had our kids when we were very young but out kids have waited until they were older. Only one grandchild from our youngest.
6:39 am

What are the stats for the lone 'd' in the first column?

6:40 am

6:41 am
grannyrose

lolol...yay marc
6:41 am
grannyrose

and yay crossy
6:42 am
lbdawger

yeah, son learned early that sarcasm wasn't going to work. first of all the grand didn't get it, and they both only got more frustrated. son learned, direct approach is so much better.
6:42 am
sprite

very good example too. No passive-aggressive techniques, just plain and straight communication.
6:42 am
Marc Freeman

I say screw it and just beat them.
6:43 am
lbdawger

lol, marc
6:43 am
sprite

*giggles*
6:43 am
lbdawger

I don't believe in spare the rod. sometimes the only way to get their attention is a sharp smack on the bottom.
6:44 am
crosshair

with todays nanny-state schooling, you must be careful though marc. never mind beating them; just packing a lunch the school does not apporve of gets you called in to explain yoursef these days
6:45 am
crosshair

I feel bad for all new parents who cannot be allowed to raise their own kids now.
6:45 am
lbdawger

nanny-state...the mary poppins school or namby pamby.
6:46 am
grannyrose

for goodness sake!! crossy!! i used to bake/make all my kid's lunches...including the read/rolls.
6:46 am
crosshair

lol, have to watch that now as well!
6:46 am
grannyrose

*groan* bbbb....bread....
6:46 am
sprite

no wonder your child feels abused, rose, lolollll... if you made him read his rolls!
6:47 am
grannyrose

it's ridiculous...lunch for an active child...it must be high in energy....
6:47 am
grannyrose

oh, dear, sprite. LOLOL
6:47 am
lbdawger

I understand why so many parents opt for home schooling. Rose, there are some schools that wont let you bring in treats for the class. nothing to do with food allergies mind you, more of "fairness" and equality for those who can't afford to do the same.
6:47 am
crosshair

my son never had a peanut butter sandwich in public school. he had to wait till high school because there was one! child that had an allergy..one
6:48 am
lbdawger

lol sprite
6:48 am
crosshair

you are quite correct lbd
6:49 am
Anniebrook

it is very dangerous for a child with a peanut butter allergy to be exposed to PB, not even eat PB
6:49 am
sprite

idiocy! If the one child cannot eat peanuts, he or she just shouldn't eat peanuts. How are they to learn to behave responsible for themselves if the whole school is catering to that one allergy?
6:49 am
crosshair

I uderstand that, but what if my son was allergic to bread products, does the school cater to that?
6:49 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know, dawg. the latest is you are contravening the bullying/harassment policy if you greet a fellow worker with a hug/kiss. others may feel left out if they don't get the same treatment.
6:50 am
Anniebrook

allergies to Peanuts can be very dangerous to a young child
6:50 am
lbdawger

yeah, food allergies are really dangerous. my youngest niece is allergic to peanuts. can't have anything remotely touching the goobers near any of her food or anything she'll touch.
6:50 am
crosshair

it can, but an entire school, for one child?
6:51 am
lbdawger

you could have fed him a pb at home, crossy
6:51 am
crosshair

he could of been taught at hom,e
6:51 am
Anniebrook

Scrabbs can explain it better than I can. My friend's son died because he was exposed to PB in school and had a very bad reaction.
6:51 am
crosshair

but it is the past
6:53 am
crosshair

more and more, home schooling seems to be the answer. they rush the children though now.
6:55 am
lbdawger

I'm chemically sensitive to a variety of scents. and people who marinate in their perfumes and colognes will set off a reaction. I can't tell people they are making me sick from their smell, I can however, remove myself from the area. unless it's a stinky customer, then I have to suffer and pay the consequences, for their need to stink.
6:55 am
Anniebrook

In most families, both parents work so home schooling is not feasible.
6:55 am
crosshair

my beloved also has scent issues. strong perfumes can put her into a very bad asthma attack
6:56 am
sprite

I think the interaction between children is important too, for their development. Not easy to give children a balanced education at home.
6:56 am
lbdawger

I've been away from the education field for quite some time, are charter and magnet schools still popular?
6:56 am
crosshair

yes, there war downfalls to home schooling, it is not for everyone
6:56 am
crosshair

are*
6:57 am
lbdawger

I think cooperatives are workable for those families who have working parents.
6:57 am
grannyrose

annie, you are quite correct. my god-daughter, as a toddler, was allergic to PB. her mother and i didn't know. fortunately the first time she was offered PB, i was there. she broke out in enormous red blotches, like mosquito bites. she was only 12 months old at the time. her mother(my beloved friend) panicked...but she had phenergan syrup on hand. i was able to advise her to give her daughter a dose, and the allergy subsided. * we were in the middle of rural victoria at the time. no medical attention available for at least 30 minutes *
6:59 am
Anniebrook

rose, It was a tragedy that could have been avoided.
6:59 am
sprite

I know allergic reactions can be truly severe. But making the whole school go without for the one allergy, that is, in my opinion, not a good thing. You have to prepare a child for a world that does NOT cater to his or her allergy.
6:59 am
crosshair

I fully understand the dangers of a peanut allergy. My simple point being that a school of 1000 kids should not have to adapt for every single life- threatening allergy that comes through the door. peanut allergies are the current "flavour of the month" and are treated as such,
7:00 am
crosshair

correct sprite

It may have been noted for only one child, but there may have been others who were sensitive if not full out allergic to peanuts. sad but a health issue is one that can't be slighted.
7:04 am

how horrible, Annie, to lose a child to an allergic reaction.
7:04 am

well, perhaps there was no perfect solution at the time
7:05 am

although I can understand needing to prepare the child for real life situations, such as life with an epi-pen.
7:06 am
Marc Freeman

Isn't magna a word?
7:06 am

indeed. once my son was ready to start high school, it was so ingrained in me that i asked about peanut allergies and they said" we have 5 or 10 here, they should know what to do and what not to do" " your son can eat what he wishes in his lunch"

my daughter is the same with perfumes, dawg, and with cigaret smoke. She gets a very bad asthma attack from those substances. She had to learn to remove herself from places where they are.

it is, Marc. Just not valid in enable. Magna cum laude. Maybe it only counts in the expression.

very good, crossy. I am firmly in favour of teaching a child responsibility for him/herself.

A child in elementary school does not have the freedom of movement that high schoolers do. The envirenment must be made safe for them. If you must have PBJ, have it at home. Better to save the life of a child w/o complaining.

a school should not have to alter 1000 student due to one allergy. what if my sone had an alergy to chalk? and it was life threatening. Should I ask of the school to abandon all use of chalk? that is my point
7:11 am

yvw marc
7:12 am

crossy, If chalk allery was deadly the school would do it without your asking them to do so.
7:12 am

I am all in favour of saving a child's life. I just think it isn't wise to remove a very common thing from a school completely.

It is just peanut butter, crossy, we are not taking away their right to vote when they reach 18 or 21. Just peanut butter. They just CAnnot have it in schools.
7:14 am

No one is altering their lives, it is just PEANUT BUTTER. my last word on this subject.
7:15 am
Marc Freeman

ga5, please?
7:15 am

There are schools here that have signs the let people know that there is a child with a nut allegy in the room. That way children can still bring in PBJ but the teachers/parents/TAs know that they need to be watchful of the child/children with the allergy
7:15 am

still love ya annie, but we are on opposite sides of the fence on this one and that is my last word on the subject as well

My concern about an across the board, no peanut products rule in schools is that it sets up a "false safe environment" for kids. Those with allergies need to learn how to cope with them in school as well as the rest of the world.
7:16 am
sprite

that appeals more to me, megsy. I like the possibility to take responsibility.
7:16 am

As someone with a peanut allergy, I've never heard of a school banning peanut butter. It's not very pleasant to smell, in fact I've had to ask friends not to breath in my direction when eating a snickers bar, but I don't see the problem with other people eating peanuts in their own lunches. Just as long as it's nowhere likely to contaminate other people's food

As I said, she has been suffering longer than I. I can still read but not for long.
4:53 pm

yes, what is the diagnosis on your eyes jaxx?
4:53 pm

None yet. One disc is cupped (whatever that means) but I have to wait on a team meeting tomorrow for a verdict.
4:54 pm

Why so dejected, then?

well, they can just remove your old discs. My wife had both hers done

No, on my arm where they tried several times to insert the canulas in my thin, wiggly veins
4:57 pm

The doughnut has turned yellow, presumably altered by the dye. Shame, i quite liked that colour

The person in charge of the unit was very quiet. She suddenly blurted out that she had driven up to a young woman with a white hospital gown and a hospital band on her wrist. She was standing in the middle of the road but then she was gone. The tech searched gardens both sides of the road but there was no sign of anyone. She was very spooked.

I sensed plenty of ghosts myself today. I went on a bit of a road-trip up to Belfast to visit the Titanic exhibition. It was marvelous. But very very sad.
5:02 pm
jaxx7

No. She was just gone, crossy, on a wide road with just gardens on either side. I wonder if she was a newly departed soul gettingher bearings. The technician was spooked and it had made her think. I don't think at 9am she had been on the whiskey

5:06 pm

Soodle, my grandson has moved in until we have the child protection meeting on Aug 12th. He has my bed and I am on a guest bed in the spare room. he fell out of bed because he isn't used to the space and I didn't fall as there is no space for my bulky bod to fit between bed and boxes.
5:07 pm
Soodle

Ah, Candy. What a pity! I was really very impressed with the whole experience. It's very well done. I don't think I have ever 'met' you before. Do you know Haz?
5:08 pm

Oh, soodle the Babble magnet. You missed a chance to make another meet. What a pity
5:08 pm

all the best babble get-togethers happen around soodles:)

Lol Jaxx. Falling out of bed is an occupational hazard of being a kid! And Cross, I have attended the grand total of 1 (one) Babble meet!!
5:10 pm

crossy, that is oh so true.
5:10 pm
jaxx7

There will be more, though
5:11 pm

And, Candy, on the way home from Belfast, we called into The Outlet in Banbridge. A little bit of retail therapy to finish off a lovely day. Oh! AND I won 60 euros on the Galway Races, so all in all, a thoroughly satisfying day. :-)
5:12 pm

If you are in Belfast again, be sure to let me know. I am only 26 miles down the road! I know Haz's husband. He does some of the veterinary work on our farm. Have never met Haz though

He is missing his mother. Other than that, he seems fine. He has to sleep here but can go home during the day. We had a temper tantrum today because we wouldn't buy 'Grand Theft Auto 5' for him. It is ahrd enough keeping children children as it is without allowing rape etc into the sitting room.
5:20 pm
Soodle

Bless him.
5:24 pm
Soodle

Cross, the Titanic thing is really impressive. It's a walk through of how the ship was built, the finished product, including mock-ups of the cabins, the dining room, the grand stair-case (of course), and then stories of individuals who travelled on the ship. I must say, it was really well done. http://tinyurl.com/p3v8vbt
5:24 pm
jaxx7

She has a very verbally abusive husband. He likes to befriend Jill's friends and take them away so she is dependant on him. One died recently and her husband went around at the funeral declaring to anyone who'd listen that Daphne had been murdered. When Jill told him not to, he turned a torrent of abuse at her and said all he wanted was her support. She had no-one to call and unburden herself except me. I couldn't refuse to listen even if she had previously upset me.
5:25 pm
crosshair

agreed, jaxx we did not allow our son to have any game from that series while he was a minor
5:25 pm
Soodle

A manipulator!
5:26 pm
jaxx7

Ashley tried to say his mother would let him but when she phoned she agreed with us. Children should be out playing, not slumped in front of degrading computer games.
5:27 pm
jaxx7

An insane manipulator, soodle. Did you know that it only rains on Paul to annoy him and as for snow!!!
5:29 pm
Soodle

I know the type, Jaxx. I was married to one for 20 years.
5:31 pm
jaxx7

Jill has asked me how Nigel and I have managed to last 45 years without consulting psychiatrists. The answer is I don't know. perhaps the secret is Nigel doing whatever I tell him to. lol
5:32 pm
Soodle

Aha! Nigel clearly follows the Golden Rule For Men:- Whenever you're wrong, admit it. Whenever you're wrong... shut up!
5:33 pm
Soodle

Dang!!!! Whenever you're wrong admit it, whenever you're RIGHT shut up. (That was a FAIL!!)
5:33 pm
jaxx7

Possibly so. I think his knack of shutting me out (he was one of 6 sons) may have something to do with it. He just says yes and no at appropriate moments
5:33 pm
crosshair

I just say i am sorry at the start of each and every day, that way I am ready for whatever comes up;)
