2:51 am

2:51 am

grannyrose

2:53 am

sprite

just home from doctor. Sugar values are even lower than last time, and that is without any medication. Blood pressure 120/80. And I got permission to stop the cholesterol medication for 3 months, as a test period.
Eye fundus pictures were perfect. So this is all good :D

2:54 am

grannyrose

wow!! well done sprite. what a great reult.

2:54 am

grannyrose

*result*

2:54 am

sprite

Alas, nothing to see on the x-rays of knees and hands. No erosion, no rheuma stuff. So only God knows where the pain and swelling come from. Doc wants to have bloodwork done to rule out rheumatism completely.

2:55 am

grannyrose

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i hung wash outside earlier today. not too bad

10:56 am

EvaNadine

hrm. i did only go into the garage, not the actual outside... often its colder in there than it is outside!

10:56 am

Deeha

Cold here Eva first night under 0 forecast. I'll be getting my hot water bottle out tonight

10:56 am

EvaNadine

we have a spare fridge in the garage that we use mainly for beverages + thawing meat... but the sodas are actually freezing out there!

10:57 am

EvaNadine

deeha - we put on the flannel bedsheets + pulled out the space heater!

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

i think it may be time to put on the winter blanket. I want a new one but fleece sees to be t he t hing and i don't know how they compare to wool.

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

my wool has a few moth holes,but is still usable

11:01 am

Deeha

They say the British are very selective about their weather - if it is hot we say 'it was nearly 90 today' if it's cold e day 'it was -1 last night'!!We like to chop and change between centigrade and Fahrenheit depending on which sounds the most dramatic!!

11:02 am

EvaNadine

deeha -- my parents are from england. that sounds about right. ;)

11:04 am

Deeha

That is a gorgeous boy Eva

Wee Evan is really lighting up this chat with his adorable smile. : )

11:10 am

MollyL

Meanwhile, I don't find it cold when it's almost 50 degrees out.

11:12 am

EvaNadine

molly -- its probably only about 30 in our garage! (thats as "outside" as ive gotten so far)

11:12 am

EvaNadine

TY jaymil!

11:13 am

MollyL

Ah, the joys of working from home.

11:13 am

EvaNadine

indeed. whilst taking care of the bebe and the pup...who will both start making noise simultaneously, without fail.

11:14 am

MollyL

You have a puppy AND a baby to tend to?

11:15 am

Deeha

usually about 2 in the morning I'd wager!!

11:15 am

HarryHood

hallo! can somebody clue the lone A for me please?

11:16 am

HarryHood

what a cute pirate baby!

11:16 am

MollyL

I think it's the bee word Harry

11:16 am

HarryHood

I have that one...

11:16 am

HarryHood

the 5/12

11:16 am

MollyL

No, it's not the bee word. It is not together

11:17 am

HarryHood

ty molly

11:17 am

HarryHood

nbt :)

11:18 am

HarryHood

I hate leaf blowers. It makes being at home d uring the day so unpleasant sometimes

11:20 am

rururocks

I hate the stupid basketball hoop things on the street.. very annoying

11:21 am

MollyL

It's venting Monday ladies and gentlemen. Get your gripes out here.
: D

11:21 am

HarryHood

halfway! gotta get ready for class

11:22 am

rururocks

well.... while I'm at it...

11:23 am

MollyL

I could go on for hours about people who shop without a grocery list and just wander around the grocery store staring blankly at the shelves.

11:24 am

Deeha

ampit - where you spray deodorant tocap- thing on the end of your shoe!!

11:24 am

EvaNadine

hrm...i swear i responded to Molly about the pup, but my response seems to have vanished...

11:25 am

EvaNadine

molly -- i will make a list, but then darling hubby puts something like "snacks" on it.

11:25 am

Deeha

I always make a list Molly, trouble is I usually leave it on coffee table!

11:25 am

bichon

been there, done that

11:27 am

MollyL

I learned a long time ago not to involve the males in my life in grocery shopping. If I let them in on it, that ensures that my bill will be 40 dollars higher

11:28 am

EvaNadine

well, i kept trying to ask the hubs to be more specific, but he refused.
so one day, i brought home fruits + veggies. when he asked me what "snacks" i bought, i pointed to them.

he was not amused.

11:30 am

MollyL

What? Are you supposed to read his mind?

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

good one!

11:33 am

Deeha

Had a wonderful afternoon yesterday 'Cranford' back to back and one character in that says something like 'no house runs properly with a man in it'!!

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i think they should have their own special time to grocery shop. really.

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

talk about wandering around clueless

11:35 am

rururocks

(loves the generalizations abounding around here)

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

if the cart fits ;)

11:35 am

SamanthaJoy

My husband is a better cook than I am, and does at least half the grocery shopping and laundry.

/counterweight

11:36 am

rururocks

I think men who cook know how to shop.. except for the odds and ends that women always need

11:36 am

Deeha

I always found you would be shopping with him behind you and you turn round and he's gone! It always takes a lot of looking up and down aisles to find him agai too!!

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

our thanksgiving is cooked by brother in law. his wife rarely cooks at all. i think whatever works.

11:37 am

cybernan

good morning

11:37 am

bichon

That's what cell phones are for

11:37 am

EvaNadine

my husband shouldnt be permitted unsupervised in any sort of store. he has no willpower.

11:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Come to think of it, most of the happily coupled/married men I know are great cooks. That CANNOT be a coincidence, right?

11:38 am

bichon

Good thought Sam

11:38 am

Deeha

my husband never turned his phone on, one of those annoying people that say 'only have it for emergencies'!!

11:38 am

EvaNadine

over the weekend, he went to Target. our friend went with him to ensure he stuck to the list...
but then i texted HER to request that they fetch...lady supplies. (i knew he would be horrified.)

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of male cooks in the extended family but my dad could hardly boil water when my mom died. he learned quickly.

11:39 am

SamanthaJoy

Have you pointed out to him that if it's not on, he'll never know when you have an emergency?

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

good point,sam.

11:40 am

Deeha

Exactlly Samantha that is what I always tell people!!

11:40 am

rururocks

my brother couldn't make Jello from a recipe.. but does the shopping.. although he does buy lots of extra vodka when he goes through the checkout line

11:41 am

sorry not getting the other ca7 I have the ca 7/36?

12:29 pm

cybernan

ca 7/36 x2 - one ends with a voyage; the other with a mouse catcher

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

ohh ok now I get it ty cyber and all

need a cell app really

5:04 pm

moolingwa

hard to do in browser

5:06 pm

MollyL

Nothing to do with an application. It's the small size of the screen and the buttons.

5:06 pm

moolingwa

I play scrabble on phone

5:06 pm

moolingwa

so an app could work

5:07 pm

MollyL

I'm not sure how an application increases the size of your screen, buttons or the tiny font you have to read. But hey, whatever works for you.

5:08 pm

moolingwa

You can do a different layout

The star, well I'm tired of advent candles at this time of year. The original weeks before Christmas (which was not at this time of year) were preceded by a star like that.

5:51 pm

The actual birth of Christ was in April, no?

You?

5:59 pm

Lizlin

Good - just doing the usual stuff here! Whale watching season finished :(

6:00 pm

car.eeyore

Was it good this year?

6:01 pm

Lizlin

According to the captain of the catamaran we go out on, it was one of their best seasons but although we saw loads of mums and calves, they were just intent on swimming back South. So that was cute. But we didn't see much in the way of breaching or other behaviours. Still, just seeing them is always amazing.

6:02 pm

car.eeyore

It really is!

6:02 pm

Lizlin

I feel so lucky that we can see them so easily here - even just walking along the foreshore, you can see their blows and sometimes some splashing or a breach.

6:03 pm

car.eeyore

very cool!

6:03 pm

Lizlin

It is :)

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Help with the first ax 5/20 pls? I've tried so many variations but seem to be missing it.

6:05 pm

Lizlin

Thanks - one of those disappearing words. I thought I entered that before I entered the TV lead, which is similar!

6:19 pm

MollyL

I have all the ax words, but no clue what the TV lead is.

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Begins with co, then the ax added to it.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

lead, cable, wire - different words, same meaning!

6:20 pm

MollyL

Oh, I thought you were referring to an ax word. Lead meaning cable.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

didn't mean to confuse.

6:21 pm

MollyL

Easily done, with my addled brain.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

I thought I'd entered the ax word, which lead (not cable :) ) me to the co word.

6:22 pm

Lizlin

Not so, Molly. I'm one of those, who appreciated your clues, especially the 70s rock music ones.

I like avocado but I do not really like any cold soup

6:37 pm

Aloyisius

I like avocado too - and prefer hot soups. Gazpacho (sp?) isn't bad though

6:37 pm

MollyL

I like soup occasionally, but I couldn't eat it all the time.
I guess it's a vegetarian thing.

6:37 pm

I prefer hot soups too. not crazy about gazpacho.

6:43 pm

maybe tomorrow.. life goes like that, a roller coaster

6:44 pm

Trifioso

tomorrow is too late, unfortunately. I have a paper to write tonight, and the muse is elsewhere

6:44 pm

Aloyisius

are you taking a course?

6:44 pm

Trifioso

in grad school.

6:44 pm

periwinkle

I did not know that, good for you Trif.

6:44 pm

Aloyisius

ooh.. been there.. just have to dive in and hope the muse emerges

6:46 pm

Trifioso

sigh.....I would rather babble

6:47 pm

Aloyisius

amen.. what is the topic of your paper? We will help inspire you

6:48 pm

Trifioso

a lit review of an article in Educational Leadership, titled "know they impact" -- god help us all

6:48 pm

periwinkle

wish I could help you

6:48 pm

Trifioso

"know thy impact"

6:48 pm

Aloyisius

oh gag.. so it is how teachers impact students?

6:49 pm

Trifioso

yup

6:49 pm

Aloyisius

mostly, it is unseen ways

6:49 pm

Trifioso

I have to answer professor-given questions, all APA format, so..."the writer felt that..."

6:51 pm

Trifioso

I know how to do it, and I have read the article...I just don't WANT to do it.

6:51 pm

Aloyisius

oh, I see.. so it is more an analysis of a paper you were assigned to read?

6:51 pm

Trifioso

yes ma'am. I al4 have a 30 page chapter to read and a backward design unit plan to do

6:52 pm

periwinkle

sounds daunting, Trif. when is this all due?

6:52 pm

Aloyisius

grad school is tuff at times - SO much reading and analysis

6:53 pm

Trifioso

wednesday

6:53 pm

MollyL

I think that is an interesting writing assignment. It is introspective. What do you offer, as an educator, that impacts your students?

6:53 pm

Trifioso

it was an interesting article as well, molly.

6:54 pm

Aloyisius

how did you react to "Know thy impact"? Did it hit a chord with you or did you cringe?

6:55 pm

Trifioso

it was good, actually - the writer discussed how there are different levels of feedback, and you have to give it at the right time, etc.

6:55 pm

Trifioso

OH HEY -- very crafty miss! I see what you are doing! lololol

6:56 pm

Trifioso

fine, you all win....off I go....xoxox

6:57 pm

Aloyisius

sometimes articles hit you as a bunch of bunk, and others are a joy to read, depending on your experience and your philosophy, etc

6:57 pm

Aloyisius

you go, girl!

7:02 pm

MollyL

I'm not really sure how an idea like "how do you impact your students" merited a "gag" response. I think it is an interesting question and worth writing about.

7:05 pm

Aloyisius

well, Molly.. if you have taken extensive courses in Ed., you might relate to the fact that some of them are very time-consuming exercises in trying to figure out which school of thought your professor subscribes to so that you can give the appropriate responses to inquiries such as the one Trifioso is now laboring over. Give me data, not opinions.

7:09 pm

When it comes to writing exercises, "the appropriate response" is not always the answer. "How do you impact your students?" is an introspective question designed to make educators think about what they have to offer those they teach.

It isn't really kinky, but it does make every interaction between people a "what can you give me for what I give you'" kind of thing. To me it reduces human relationships into unconscious business deals.
