You have a wider vocabulary than I do then; I only see 2! ;-)
12:07 am
Judith

You're not counting them, I hope
12:09 am
Nef

Judith, only 1 of the 2 I know counts as a word in Babble
12:11 am
Judith

OMG. Thanks for that. BTW Christine is my big sister.
12:15 am
Nef

Seriously? I've tried to get my sisters to play, but I haven't had luck in getting them to play or join so far.
12:15 am
periwinkle

I got my sister started. She is marigold
12:16 am
Judith

At one stage several years ago, all three sisters played.
12:16 am
dfmchfhf

do you play together or separately?
12:16 am
Nef

Good for you, peri. IDK why my sisters won't play; they really enjoy WWF and other word games.
12:17 am
periwinkle

separately
12:17 am
Judith

Great periwinkle. Have to try to get our other sister involved again.
12:18 am
Judith

We play separately. We live on three different continents spread around the world.

one of my sisters got me onto babble, but I don't think she plays much.
12:19 am
Christine

Judith, that little blue icon (looks like a purse), beside your name,, indicates you are male --- something you're not telling me?
12:19 am
dfmchfhf

so far apart... it's nice internet brings people together like this!
12:19 am

12:27 am
hurshy

how is "wank" not in the dictionary?
12:29 am
hurshy

name that proper noun! cruise line founded in 1838 and now owned by Carnival
12:29 am
dfmchfhf

probably, Christine, or hasn't filled in yet, or "other"?
12:29 am

12:30 am
hurshy

ding ding ding!!!
12:34 am
Christine

I've babbled since 2004, soon after it started. I came here through a blog I followed, Chocolate and Zucchini.
12:35 am
dfmchfhf

hmm had to google, but "wank" has been around a word longer than some babblets have... enable is a strange lexicon!
12:36 am
hurshy

how do those foods go together? i mean i'm ok with zucchini, but chocolate is clearly in a different league
12:37 am
Nef

Enable is a strange lexicon indeed. I has a lot of odd whims....
1:02 am
Christine

Hurshy, perhaps they are her favourite foods ... or a way to attract attention? I know that's what originally drew me to her blog.
1:20 am
clg47

Chocalate and zucchini cake, bread, cookies all good. Sauerkraut and chocolate cake good. Mango and chocolate great. Chocolate is in a very versatile world.
1:22 am
hurshy

nothing on earth can make sauerkraut good. not even chocolate is that powerful.
1:44 am

2:15 am
rubyfoo

2:27 am
Christine

Does anyone have the first LA5 word? I don't see how there is anything viable before the second word?
2:28 am
Lizlin

Sorry. Not me.
2:29 am
Lizlin

2:29 am
Lizlin

Just saw it!
2:30 am
Lizlin

BBL for my last 20 words.
2:46 am

Thank you, Lizlin ... it was driving me crazy. It's not on that list of 5letter words, on Lickety's page.
2:53 am
Christine

Back tomorrow. Goodnight, God bless.
2:54 am
Lizlin

It’s on my Lickety list.

mattygroves

wank is absolutely a word. A rude word, but a word nevertheless (grrr)
4:44 am
rubyfoo

Matty: l rhink it has to have er at the end
4:45 am
rubyfoo

"wanker"
4:46 am
MollyL

Nope. Wank is a perfectly good and often used term. The dictionary defines it as a "vulgar term" and it means to masturbate. Enable accepts plenty of other vulgar terms. The most hated one is in today's grid. And accepted.
4:46 am
mattygroves

No, you can have a wank as well ;) It's usually used, though, just for men.
4:47 am
mattygroves

Wanker is, however, an excellent word when one is really irked
4:49 am
rubyfoo

l like to call men the C word.
4:49 am
rubyfoo

They get really shocked, basically my intent
4:50 am
rubyfoo

4:56 am
MollyL

Aw, you're not mean and nasty. Just a feisty little woman who speaks her mind. : D
4:57 am
rubyfoo

wh o cant type with all these bandages. 30mf of morphine helpq, too
4:58 am
MollyL

I would ask what you did to your hands, but that would require you to type some more. I will just say I hope they heal up soon.
4:58 am

the school day started quite well, for those who are intereseted. It was a late start for students - 10 am. From 8-10 staff had an EXCELLENT presentation from the Mass DOE regarding how to support the needs of LBGTQ students and families
10:00 am
dcseain

how wonderful that that is addressed inservice.
10:00 am
rururocks

well that is good progress trif
10:01 am
Trifioso

we are lucky to live in massachusetts - the latest legislation contains excellent advancements in several areas, particularly the inclusion of an alternate gender marker on state forms, students forms, etc. Once a student is 14, they have legal access to their records, and can choose a non-binary marker.
10:02 am

yeah, older my very mildly regrets turning down the job offer from Boston Safe in 1994.

the speaker was SO funny. he said we should proceed with caution. "Report cards are NOT the place to come out to your parents."
10:02 am

LOLOL
10:05 am
Trifioso

its a complicated issue, as you could imagine, but I was really proud of our staff. Everyone is in such different places with these concepts. I was glad that those who had questions, especially about terms and nomenclature, asked them. Example: for many people, "queer" is a pejorative.
10:06 am
mkg

there is no reason someones sex is needed other than for dormitory placements. that is my opinion. i am tired of this whole idea. just put a persons name without any mister or miss or misses or anything. just a name. period. the idea of formality was always silly and in todays world isnt needed. my name is all you need. i get mail for mister and ms. my first name, Minka, is one that no one knows what it is.
10:07 am
mkg

and as to bathrooms, the idea of a large room with many toilets is also silly.
10:07 am
Trifioso

im glad we are talking about it. If we, as the adults, look all uncomfortable with such things, it communicates shame to certain kids. That is truly unfortunate
10:08 am
dcseain

I've self-identified as queer since i was 20. Yay reclaiming pejoratives!
10:09 am
Trifioso

its about making space for everyone, mkg. every student should feel seen and valued. no one should ever be made to feel ashamed of who they are, especially when it's factors beyond their control. The data alone was VERY sobering. OMG the suicide, self-harm and physical injury rates of kids in the LGBTQ community are totally out of proportion
10:09 am
mkg

open up the bathrooms and put walls around each toilet and then they can be used by either men or women and you can stand at a sink no matter what sex you are. in some foreign countries this is how it is. tiny areas with walls and a door with only a toilet, and then a sink somewhere outside mounted on a wall. sinks now come in 9 inch depths. as to urinals, you can mark some door saying "urinal inside" and then people can choose to use that or go to a toilet.
10:11 am
Trifioso

good for you seain! I have to say, it can be overwhelming in the setting I am in. its hard enough to track the names and learning requirements of 140+ students, and now to add in remembering who wants what pronoun, and which name to use with them vs their parents....it's a lot, I have to say. But I am totally, utterly committed to making it happen. My classroom is a place in which EVERY student WILL feel safe and valued.
10:11 am

lol, mkg -- are you going to teach the guys not to spray the seats and to put the seats down when they are finished? good luck!
10:11 am

that's a pissy comment nan
10:11 am
rururocks

:D
10:11 am
mkg

trifioso, so as i say, we do not need to have a sex stated for students! get the bathrooms changed. who came up with the silly idea of a ladies and mens bathrooms anyway? better that you have tiny "rooms" like in europe: there are bathrooms that are 3/4 of a meter by 1.5 meters and inside and have toilet and a tiny sink on the wall.........open the spaces that are now girls rooms and boys rooms and put a hall with these tiny rooms. it would work except for wheel chairs and then you have some wheel chair ones. no sex is needed at all then.
10:12 am
Trifioso

well, the school building already exist, so......

10:16 am

mkg is also forgetting that in europe most of the bathrooms have attendants that clean up behind everyone, or they are self cleaning cubicles. The ones that aren't are filthy.
