Ellie, everyone does it different. I always try to wait until I'm half way before I use Lickety's list; others use it right away (they may have less time to play)

hi Rose, had gone to bed but sleepless!!, what's new, eh!
3:14 am
grannyrose

*giggle* it's so annoying isn't it? i usually get so annoyed, lying there in the dark, listening to don snoring gently away.
3:14 am
flosey

yes, me too!
3:16 am
grannyrose

flosey, i have had the loveliest day. the eldest daughter of my dear friend who died, and also my god-daughter, came out and visited me.
3:16 am
flosey

how lovely, Rose
3:17 am
flosey

one son and grandson still with us until Wednesday
3:17 am
grannyrose

the poor kid is missing 'family'. don and i are thinking of being a 'surrogate' family to her.
3:17 am
grannyrose

oh lovely flosey. what a visit you have had.
3:18 am
flosey

rose, that would be lovely for you and Don
3:18 am
grannyrose

she is nearly 19. and she needs some sort of ties.
3:19 am
flosey

it was great when they were all here - and special for my birthday (and William's next day) - 2 cakes! but we do get a better visit with one family at a time
3:20 am
aaronsmom

thanks, grannyrose -- got the pr8
3:20 am
flosey

I agree, Rose, remembering myself at that age, there are times you need someone who's lived a little more to feel close to
3:20 am
grannyrose

her aunt and uncle who were her legal guardians when both parents died are not particularly well, mentally and emotionally. she feels alienated by them.

3:35 am

3:36 am
grannyrose

3:52 am
sprite

3:55 am
sprite

did you see my new addition to the dictionary?
3:55 am
grannyrose

i thought they would be good in the warmer weather to cover the scars on my left ankle.
3:55 am
sprite

smart thinking. Though scars are not something to be ashamed of.
3:57 am
grannyrose

the ones on the outside of my foot are still purple. not a good look.

6:10 am

We have been fortunate up here in that all spring and summer we have been getting rain and sun, as needed in the right proportions:) The grass, trees and forests are a rich and verdant, as they should be.
6:10 am

The water levels in the bay are actually back to the old levels of 20 years ago.
6:10 am

Yes, and no smoke.
6:11 am

No, our friends on the west coast are dealing with a nasty fire I hear.
6:11 am

People are getting smoke as far as Minnesota.

6:14 am

Crossy, can you give me the stats for the lone R at the bottom of the second column?
6:19 am
crosshair

I love our three dailies. The Toronto Star is so uptight it needs medication, The Toronto Sun is like your Good ole uncle Harry in that he is nice enough but you don't leave him alone with the kids. lol I split the difference and get the Globe and mail, which is more for the 1% but is overall more balanced.
6:19 am

I love the Globes adverts. they do not get the irony of putting ads for $20,000.00 wrist watches right beside columns on what can be done for child poverty in the city....
6:23 am
crosshair

it is kind of like those $1000.00 a plate charity dinners where the ladies show up wearing a million dollars worth of bling around their necks...
6:23 am

Like the ads at the back of The New Yorker :)
6:24 am

The New Yorker is for the 1% OF the 1%

7:14 am

travel agent looking into it. Too long a drive all the way up for me on my own
7:14 am
Riverdance

I haven't used lickety in ages either
7:15 am

When my brother visits, he gets off at Buffalo as well. saves almost a thousand dollars on 3 three people
7:15 am

I figured buffalo may not be as bad crossing the border as Detroit
7:16 am
crosshair

Funny, he is in NV now and last time he had to come up to visit his Mrs. parents in Timmins it was minus 47C! lol
7:16 am

I drove to Quebec last year - 6 hours is OK - 12 is just too long for me.
7:16 am

especially midweek/midday river
7:16 am

Visit her parents*
7:17 am

I am looking at a Wed or Thurs to Monday
7:18 am

should be good timss to cross the border. weekends are worse in summer
7:18 am

That he did!
7:19 am
Riverdance

HI Scrabbs

I am trying to plan a trip to see Carleecat in Ontario. Airfare to there is way too expensive so thinking about flying into Buffalo and driving from there.
7:23 am
Scrabbler

Oooh, when?
7:24 am
Riverdance

Flights into Sarnia or London were over $800. Thinking about leaving just after labor day - that Wed or Thurs
7:25 am

I work all day Wednesdays and Thursdays, but maybe we could meet up in the evening.
7:25 am
Riverdance

She told me she is about 2 hours away from the falls.
7:25 am
Marc Freeman

to7/36, please?
7:26 am
Riverdance

I love to make that work if we could
7:26 am
Scrabbler

And Buffalo Airport to NF, NY = 30 min.
7:27 am
Riverdance

thats still a doable drive for me - not 12 hours driving from home
7:27 am
Scrabbler

I live 50 min drive south of Buffalo Airport, but my mom and sister live up that way so I visit once weekly.
7:28 am
Riverdance

she also offerred to come get me but wonder how it would be for her to cross border both ways - a pain I am sure.
7:28 am
Scrabbler

My limit for driving is about 6 hrs, so even trips to Cape Cod (9-10 hrs) were brutal.
7:28 am
Scrabbler

Depends on the day and time, River. Sometimes crossing the border is a breeze.
7:28 am
Riverdance

thats my limit too - did that last year when I went to Quebec to visit another gaming friend
7:29 am
TraderKate

don't have it yet marc, sorry
7:29 am
Riverdance

me neither Marc
7:29 am
Scrabbler

And crossing depends on the bridge too. There are 3 choices here--Peace Bridge, Rainbow Bridge, and Queenston-Lewiston Bridge.
7:29 am
Riverdance

I have 40 left and still dont have NBT or NBS
7:29 am

Sorry, River. But the choices confuse most people that live here.
7:31 am

peace bridge gives least confusion for highway access... or queenston/lewiston bridge..... have lunch in niagara on the lake?
7:31 am

I crossed one bridge once 40 years ago.....went out west with my first husband, decided to come home through Canada so crossed over in Detroit and then back into the states in Niagra Falls

good morning, everyone! pi7, plz?
7:54 am
Anniebrook

hi dawg
7:54 am
Trifioso

ugh annie, you won't EVEN.....the school caved. I have to go to the kid's house to tutor him, and I am PISSED - home tutoring is only five hours a week, whereas the school program was twelve. So my summer pay just got cut in half, thanks very much.
7:54 am
TraderKate

a card game?
7:55 am
Trifioso

and now I am responsible for setting all his curriculum, materials, and everything else
7:55 am
TraderKate

hi dawg :))
7:55 am
Anniebrook

Trif , that is not fair
7:56 am
lbdawger

hi kate, ty for the pi7
7:56 am
Trifioso

I agree, but politically its way dangerous for me to make a fuss.
7:56 am
TraderKate

the card game dawg
7:56 am
Trifioso

I have seen what happens to staff members that balk - lunch duty, the worst classes, etc.
7:57 am
TraderKate

...sounds like the very tippy top of something.
7:57 am
lbdawger

hi annie! trif, that really sucks
7:57 am
Anniebrook

Trif, I wouldn't make a fuss. There might be retaliation.
7:59 am
Trifioso

so this is where we are now: I am tutoring a boy who has not been in school since NOVEMBER, with the intent of getting him ready for 9th grade. A regular school week for us is 30 hours. I am authorized to meet with him 5 hours a week, for 4 weeks. Explain to me how I am going to teach this kid a year's worth of material in less than a full week's school time?
8:00 am
Anniebrook

I dont see how it can be done.
8:00 am
TraderKate

12 hours of homework each day...
8:01 am
Scrabbler

Back. I just saw a really nice female adolescent--not so common.
8:01 am
TraderKate

concentrate on math...hopefully he can wing the english and other "softer" courses
8:02 am
Scrabbler

Ugh, Trif. That sucks for you and the kid.
8:03 am
Scrabbler

I would tell the kid and his parents what HE must accomplish this summer. You are the teacher and guide, he must put in the work to be ready for gr 9.
8:03 am
Trifioso

really nice female adolescents DO exist scrabbler!!!! have several at my school
8:03 am
periwinkle

good morning all. early chat shows that there are pr8 and tr8 and I do not see either. help pls
8:03 am
Scrabbler

Respectful, responsible, polite adolescents are always such a treat for us.
8:04 am
Trifioso

I agree scrabbler, but I can tell you this from experience - I leave, he watches TV. I couldn't even get him to read a page and a half of To Kill A Mockingbird to get to the end of the chapter.
8:04 am
Trifioso

I'm so frigging mad about the money, I cant even tell you
8:05 am
Scrabbler

I am not surprised, Trif, as his parents seem to have no expectations for him. Just tell him and his parents what you/the school expects of him this summer. Let him and his parents face the consequences.
8:05 am
Trifioso

good plan, scrabbler.
8:06 am
Trifioso

at this point, I must admit, I think they are all a bunch of nut jobs.
8:06 am
Anniebrook

They probably are.
8:06 am
Scrabbler

I would be very angry about how their decision is costing YOU money this summer--not fair to you.
8:07 am
Scrabbler

Sadly the kid is doomed as his parents are not preparing him for adulthood. But there is an epidemic of that and I see it every day.
8:08 am
Trifioso

the kid is doomed because he has a raging anxiety disorder that his parents are not treating - at ALL
8:08 am
periwinkle

Trif that is an awful situation all around
8:09 am
Trifioso

and now, because he is meeting with me privately, instead of in the school program, I am responsible for all his content. so the school a) screwed me out of five hours a pay a week and b) is paying me para rates to do a teacher's job. grrrrrrr
8:09 am
Anniebrook

Can the guidance counselor step in at this point and strongly suggest that this kid needs major help.
8:09 am
periwinkle

was just going to suggest that, Annie
8:09 am
Anniebrook

Trif, do you belong to a union? This would never fly in NYC.
8:09 am
Trifioso

she has annie. EVERYONE, from the school nurse on down, has been telling them this for years. But they don't want anything to do with anything that sounds like a "mental disorder"
8:10 am
TraderKate

Can you respectuflly decline the assignment? Stating your reasons...
8:10 am
Trifioso

Yes annie, but they don't touch stuff like this, and again, "squawk and you walk"

I thought of that Kate, but then I am really in the soup - no money at all, and the school would be LIVID
8:11 am
Trifioso

it's 20 hours. I will do it with a smile on my face, and never sign up for this again
8:11 am
Trifioso

I am in it now.
8:12 am
TraderKate

Which reprisal from the school would be worse? Trying to do the impossible job poorly or not doing it at all? BUT money is an issue too.
8:12 am
Trifioso

to be totally honest - the principal has washed her hands of this whole thing. he is done with 8th grade. as far as she is concerned, he is the high school's problem now
8:13 am
TraderKate

why isn't the kid in the 12 hour a week program at the school?
8:13 am
Trifioso

according to his parents, he "cant handle it" - the kids never leaves the house. Boo Radley, the poor thing
8:13 am
TraderKate

so, he will probably have to repeat most of grade 9... that should wake everyone up...
8:14 am
Trifioso

no, the parents will start battering the high school until they provide a tutor for him. This is the parent's gig - they want all their kids home schooled, and they want the town to pay for it.
8:14 am
TraderKate

so he will continue to be home schooled in grade 9?
8:14 am
TraderKate

so he will continue to be home schooled in grade 9?
8:15 am
MollyL

So he is Boo Radley and you are having him read "To Kill A Mockingbird"? Humorous
8:15 am
Trifioso

oh, the irony, molly!
8:15 am
Trifioso

anyway....let's move on.
8:16 am
MollyL

If he starts carving you figurines beware when he has the scissors
8:16 am
Trifioso

hahahahahaha
8:16 am
TraderKate

if they choose to home school, shouldn't they be teaching him? Or paying tutors out of their own pocket... not sure I understand the logic or law of htis
8:17 am
Trifioso

yes, kate, on all counts. but they keep claiming he has this medical reason, or that one, so that the school is on the hook.
8:17 am
Scrabbler

Home instruction means less face-to-face time with the teacher and more initiative and responsibility for the kid.
8:18 am
Scrabbler

BBS. Got to see a 3 yr old now--fun!
8:18 am
Trifioso

until you give them the shot, yup
8:18 am
Anniebrook

Are they parents claiming the kid is disabled? I bet they are collecting SSI or some sort of money for him? Hence, cant leave the house, school come to house. I would not be surprised if this is the case. Slick
8:19 am
Trifioso

ooooh, I never thought of that, annie!
8:20 am
Anniebrook

Some parents are ruthless. They just throw their children away.
8:22 am
MollyL

If they are collecting Social Security they would have to have an approved diagnosis by a physician
8:22 am
Anniebrook

That is not that hard to get.
8:23 am
Trifioso

man, the second column today is just a tricky little bugger, isn't it?
8:24 am
Anniebrook

I can't believe parents would do that. (if they are doing that). Bobby was accepted into early education and I sat in that classroom with an infant for three months because he would not stop crying and the teachers worked with me.
8:24 am
TraderKate

I've only got the lone r in the whole column, ty for pointing that out Trif :(
8:25 am
Anniebrook

I was so grateful he was accepted into the program. It was so new at that time.
8:25 am
MollyL

I guess I'm lost in the details of this story. I thought Trif said the parents were "claiming" the kid had Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder, but the kid had never been officially diagnosed
8:25 am
Trifioso

lol, sorry kate!
8:25 am
Trifioso

that is right molly.
8:25 am
TraderKate

it's ok... I have lots of time today
8:26 am
MollyL

Early programs for kids with disabilities are so beneficial to the child. It's a shame more parents don't get their kids diagnosed at an early age.
8:27 am
Anniebrook

one more question....Did the school allow tutoring without a diagnosis?
8:27 am
Trifioso

yes
8:28 am
Trifioso

and, on good faith, my principal went to court to address the truancy issue, without the medical documentation. a mistake SHE will never make again
8:29 am

2:29 pm

Since it is not in the dictionary and three different "urban" dictionaries give it three different meanings, The only way to really clue it is to say that you can change out the o for another vowel and it would be something you use with your fingers to lift a mug or teacup to your lips...
2:31 pm

could be another word to mean fondle or haggle, but that is still debatable.

My adorable little girl is now 9 years old, she got big! I'm all good. Was made redundant, then laid off from the next job, and am now a Carer in a Dementia Care Home.
5:14 pm
Uneaixoise

your little girl is NINE! wow!
5:14 pm
Aussieme

She sure is Une!
5:14 pm
Dorens

9 years old? That's about as long as I've been babbling.. Glad you're good. That job must be somewhat stressful. GOod you have the temperament for it.
5:14 pm
Uneaixoise

Hi Dor, Une, Hurshy and Aussie :)
5:17 pm
hurshy

i have had 4 consecutive workdays (with long weekend in between though), with WORK THE WHOLE DAY. it turns out, doing your job while training your replacement to do it, takes up a lot more time than just doing your job.
5:18 pm
Aussieme

welcome back muse
5:18 pm
Dorens

oh it sure does, hursh. I've done that. But why are you being replaced? Where are you going?
and hi, muse
5:18 pm
hurshy

my husband has taken a job elsewhere, we're moving.
5:18 pm
hurshy

i am beyond thrilled to be leaving my job.
5:19 pm
Dorens

Happy for you. Where are you moving to?
5:19 pm
hurshy

prefer not to say online :)
5:21 pm
Dorens

Okay, I understand. Best of luck though. Hope you find something good to do there.
5:22 pm
Dorens

5:23 pm

5:24 pm
Uneaixoise

other ma6 first three letters of ***ie Osmond + 3-letter word meaning "what?" in french and spanish
5:24 pm
Dorens

thanks une. that's one I might never have monkeyed (monkied?)
5:25 pm
Uneaixoise

LOL
5:25 pm
Dorens

ty again. a bit more common, but not a whole lot.
5:25 pm
Uneaixoise

:-)
5:27 pm
Aussieme

you were right first time dorens, monkeyed
5:28 pm
Dorens

good to know.
5:29 pm
Dorens

so i'm down to one word, it's the pi6. Don't want a clue just yet, only want to know if it's fishworthy...
5:29 pm
Naches girl

The strange ma6 word is actually a Hebrew word and refers to the short Torah reading just before the reading from Prophets chanted each Shabbat. Why it's acceptable in Babble is beyond me!
5:29 pm
Uneaixoise

no rhyme or reason with Babble :-)
5:29 pm
Dorens

it does look hebrew. And why ANYword is acceptable in Babble is often beyond us all.
5:30 pm
hurshy

we do get other hebrew/yiddish words
5:31 pm
hurshy

like shtetl
5:31 pm
Dorens

we do, but I've never figured out the arbitrary decision as to whIch words we get and which we don't/
5:31 pm

5:31 pm
Naches girl

Sure we do but that one is so uncommon and not part of Yinglish
5:32 pm
hurshy

yeah i haven't heard it before
5:32 pm
Dorens

I've been somewhat Jewish for 65 years and never heard that one.
5:33 pm
Dorens

5:33 pm
hurshy

maybe that's why i'm pretty good at this game FB
9:47 pm
