Jac-a very old friend of mine to whom I introduced Babble a couple of months ago. Now she babbles instead of writing home....but it's all my fault(-:

6:31 am

Jacula

Eva - Ah, I see. You confused me for a moment. (Not hard!) LOL

6:31 am

Eva

And of course I can tell exacly what's she's up to by checking who's online

6:31 am

mousey

no its not eva

6:31 am

Eva

Not hard to be confusing either

6:31 am

mousey

i agree!

6:32 am

Eva

hi mousey

6:32 am

Jacula

Strange chatlog today. I'm off for dinner. BBL.

6:32 am

sprite

enjoy, Jac.

6:32 am

Eva

she also doesn't multitask so well, so if she's focused on the grid, I have to put a lot of Merp heads on the chat log before she notices

6:33 am

mousey

didnt notice ME!

6:33 am

6a

hi eva i missed your message being deeply embedded in st's

6:33 am

Eva

There you are! I've been talking about you

6:34 am

6a

6:34 am

mousey

6:35 am

sprite

We all admire you for having your priorities right, 6a

6:35 am

6:37 am

Eva

I'm back to the grid, but you should check your email later.Got 161 on the first swing through, and now it's much slower

6:38 am

sprite

Strange to have he4/5 and na4/9 in the same grid.

6:38 am

mattygroves

*** sniff sniff *** it's that odour again ;)

6:38 am

Eva

why isn't the na4/9 a proper noun?

6:39 am

sprite

because it doesn't have to be with a capital

6:39 am

mattygroves

Ha! Just filled that word in, thanks to the heads up from Sprite...and didn't peg what it was - I mentally pronounced the Z as soft (zzzzz rather than tz)

6:39 am

Eva

ah. As in the soup na___

6:58 am

sprite

Do you have the ta4/5 - 5/12 combo?

6:58 am

Not yet - give me a minute...

6:59 am

sprite

It has about the same meaning as the 6 and 7

6:59 am

mattygroves

That was enough, sprite - I now have that combo and the six and seven. Thanks!

6:59 am

Faerie

I bet it was a clean foot. It is not gross, it is incredibly nimble!

7:03 am

mousey

7:03 am

mattygroves

Not intentionally, Faerie - I just did a google search for Christmas dragon... :D

7:03 am

mattygroves

My foot is very clean - I've just had a shower ;)

7:03 am

sprite

I knew it, matty :)
I like the dragon!

7:04 am

Faerie

Ok....Matty....Amy Brown does do incrediable artwork and the dragon is very Nice choice :)

7:04 am

mousey

7:04 am

sprite

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. They say.

7:05 am

mattygroves

What I saw online looked lovely. You may have noticed my fondness for dragons over the last few months :D

7:06 am

sprite

I have been stealing some of them from you for a while, matty. You have given a few links too, and some of those dragons are in my screensaver.

7:06 am

mousey

sprite i said dout

7:07 am

mattygroves

That's ok - I nick them from the net, anyway ;)

7:07 am

TrickyRic

hmm i could have done with knowing this amy a few week back - i had to do a dragon theme for a client lol it went so bad you wouldn't believe

7:07 am

Faerie

yep Matty kinda like me and the faeries :)

7:07 am

Should have told us then, Ric! We could have send you dozens of inspiring ones :)

7:08 am

sprite

*could have sent (blush)

7:08 am

mattygroves

Yep - we have them saved and linked (google search is a wonderful thing - start with dragon, add different words, and there you go!)

7:08 am

Faerie

ditto to Sprites comment

7:08 am

TrickyRic

yea but its finding work that isn't copyrighted that a problem

7:09 am

TrickyRic

and i failed big time trying to draw them myself lol

7:09 am

Faerie

very hard indeed Ric

7:09 am

mattygroves

I wanna find ONE more word before going to the lise....hmmmmmmmmm

7:10 am

sprite

let me see, matty... you have the N5/16, the sound a horse makes?

7:10 am

Scrabbler

Good morning Babblers. I am laughing because when the grid first comes up I guess the word total before I see the actual #. I just guessed < 100, but somehow with these letters there are 211!

7:10 am

mattygroves

(list that should have been LOL)

7:10 am

Scrabbler

Hi Mousey! You are hodag's grandson, right?

7:10 am

mousey

yeper

7:10 am

mattygroves

I do now, Sprite - I can list if I want now (stupid these rules we impose on ourselves!)

7:11 am

sprite

Hi Scrabbler - in a way you are right, they are kinda hard to find, those other 100 ;)

7:11 am

Faerie

Scrabbler the same thing happened to me

7:11 am

sprite

that's because we will always need a challenge, matty ;)

7:11 am

mousey

me too

7:13 am

mousey

yawn

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Mousey, I think your grandmother said you are 8 yrs old, is that right?

7:13 am

mousey

correct!

7:14 am

Scrabbler

You are pretty smart for an 8 yr old, although I probably shouldn't tell you that.

7:14 am

mousey

why nt

7:14 am

mousey

not

7:14 am

Scrabbler

Grandma sadi that you lost your internet privileges, so are you allowed to be on the computer right now, or are your parents sleeping?

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi peri

7:16 am

sprite

lol, closing in on me fast you are, Scrabbler!

7:16 am

mattygroves

I'm surprised you're allowed unsupervised internet access, mousie - I'd be very wary at allowing an 8 year old unfettered access.

7:17 am

o-o

Congratulations, sprite!

7:17 am

sprite

thanks :)

7:17 am

rolin

afternoon all...im back to avoid shooting myself...ive been marking mock exams... *sigh*

7:17 am

Scrabbler

Your grandma told me, mousey. I don't want you to get in any trouble.

7:17 am

mousey

oh no she said i lost my internet password for babble

7:18 am

mattygroves

Oooh, my daughter just did her mocks - how is it going?

7:18 am

sprite

hi rolin, LOL! *gently removes pistol from rolin's hand*

7:18 am

mousey

the babble thing lost my password

7:19 am

rolin

oooh matty...i have a few kids who think the audience for captaion scotts 1903 antarctic diary........are people who want to go camping in the antarctic....*falls in a pique on the floor*

7:19 am

sprite

and errr.... you were their teacher, rolin? :)

7:19 am

Scrabbler

Please explain "mocks" to us non-UK folks.

7:20 am

rolin

not for the whole time sprite..lol

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Mousey--are you looking for any words, or just chatting?

7:20 am

TrickyRic

pretend exams scrabbler

7:20 am

rolin

scrabbler....exams in exam conditions to give the kids practioce of the real thing

7:20 am

mattygroves

Mock exams, Scrabbler - this year my 15 going on 16 year old takes GCSEs - these are pretty important, so they do fake ones first. Kinda like the PSATs, I guess.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

So, they get double torture...mock then real...LOL

7:20 am

sprite

Mocks in general lower the stress on kids and heightens it on the teachers :)

7:21 am

cattyrina

we call them 'prelims' in Scotland- I'm marking mine too!

7:21 am

mousey

just chating to early for me to do it

7:21 am

o-o

So, the kids were giving you mock answers, rolin?

7:21 am

rolin

too right sprite...its a beautiful sunny day here...and im sitting and the dining room table trying to convinvce myself life is worth living

7:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I understand. The PSATs are done in early 11th grade here in the US, then SATs in late 11th grade and early 12th.

7:21 am

rolin

catty...what subject?

7:21 am

Scrabbler

LOL, BR!

7:21 am

rolin

babble..i feel like theyre takin' the micj for sure

7:21 am

sprite

I don't think we have them in Holland. Just sit down and take your exam - if you need practice, you practice at home, lol.

7:22 am

cattyrina

English

7:22 am

mattygroves

Except in specific subjects. So my daughter is doing English language, and lit, maths, statistics, Latin, German, History, Art, Triple Science, RE (religious education), and ICT.

7:22 am

Faerie

((((Rolin)))) chin up Sweetie :)

7:22 am

rolin

me too...*quietly sobbing*...

7:22 am

cattyrina

I hear you rolin.

7:22 am

Scrabbler

Whoa, matty! I don't miss those days of studying and exams!

7:23 am

rolin

but i must admit...there are some really good responses too...i shall focus on those...

7:23 am

sprite

patpat... patpat.... now now :)

7:23 am

mattygroves

Part of the reason for doing Mocks, I think, is that schools are judged by how the kids do in the GCSEs, so it is in the school's interest to raise the grades.

7:23 am

rolin

ty....ty....*deep breath*...ill be fine...

7:23 am

Faerie

Oh gotta go I here my company getting up and moving around so I need to go start breakfast. Have a nice day everyone.

7:23 am

cattyrina

we can also use them for appeals if kids do surprisingly badly in the real exam

7:24 am

rolin

absolutely matty... the pressure on teachers 'tp perform'...is incredible

7:24 am

sprite

ok, since you are all doing great by yourself, I will remove myself without giving anymore clues :D
Have a great day/night/whatever all of you and happy babbling!

7:24 am

o-o

and if the thre were no GCSEs, the schools would think learning less important?

7:24 am

periwinkle

could use some help with the 7's, only have the wa7/48

7:24 am

rolin

we can only use them in case a student is ill and misses the real thing

7:24 am

o-o

Bye, sprite

7:24 am

mousey

see ya faerie

7:24 am

mattygroves

Night night sprite!

7:24 am

rolin

ooooh no babble...if there were no gcses...REAL learning would take place

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye sprite and faerie.

7:25 am

rolin

bye sprite

7:25 am

mousey

see ya sprite

7:25 am

hydra

Hi all. I need a clue for en6/18 if anyone has t.

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Real learning...critical thinking and analysis, preparation for real life....

7:25 am

o-o

so, less rote and more curiosity inspired?

7:26 am

rolin

yup..instead of spoon feeding to meet the ctirteria of examination

7:26 am

rolin

hydra...en+animal rear end

7:26 am

cattyrina

appeals need to be really strong to be successful. I would love not to have standard grades and highers to think about- it's demoralising to have to teach for assessment all the time.

7:26 am

rolin

hydra...en+animal rear end

7:26 am

mattygroves

It's a toughie - on the one hand, I think it's good that there IS a national curriculum - that if a child moves to another area, for example, there is still continuity of education (in theory). In the States, school systems differ widly in quality and content from one area to the next. However, the curriculum over the board (all ages) has become so rigid and so exam based that teachers are forced to teach the exam, regardless of the teacher's personal expertise and interest, and regardless of the kids' expertise, ability and interests.

7:27 am

mousey

scrabbler i was talking to you

7:27 am

hydra

Thanks, rolin

7:27 am

Scrabbler

The same thing happens in med school--students get taught stuff to pass the 3 "Step" exams, but often don't learn how to really care for the patient.

7:27 am

NonnieLight

peri, gl = substance that holds things together less the e and number after nine.

7:27 am

rolin

exactly matty...and as catty said...teaching to assessment criteria is so stifling...there is no individual expression for teacher or student

7:28 am

mousey

that was a mouth full matty

7:28 am

cattyrina

its all about ticking boxes :(

7:28 am

mousey

thats cool nonnie

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Mousey--I just saw your earlier chat entry, the chat is moving SO fast! You could look for words, you know.

7:29 am

mattygroves

Mind you, when I tell people here that you have to PAY to take the SATs, they are agape.

7:29 am

rolin

little boxes..on the hillside..little boxes made of ticky tacky..and we're all made out of ticky tacky and we all look just the same..

7:29 am

mattygroves

And the people in the boxes are drink their martinis dry

7:29 am

periwinkle

thanks Nonnie, almost missed your clue with all the chat about exams :)

7:29 am

mattygroves

(all drink, I should have said)

7:30 am

o-o

In the US, the No Child Left Behind federal legislation has been the subject of intense debate. Teachers and schools are scrutinized and tested, the thought being the students will benefit. Seems the debate over teaching methods is global too.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Coffee refill!

7:30 am

cattyrina

We have a bit more freedom up here (I think-correct me if I'm wrong rolin) in that we can teach any texts we want so long as we can teach to the criteria. that is a slight consolation

7:30 am

rolin

here its called 'every child matters'... notice the teachers dont matter

7:30 am

mattygroves

From what I gather, though, the No Child Left Behind programme is woefully dumbed down - is that right?

7:30 am

NonnieLight

you're welcome, Peri :)

7:31 am

cattyrina

'curriculum for excellence'

7:31 am

mousey

yah but if do it to early i get headakes scrabbler

Ah. I'm in Middlesex.

Scrabbler

I'm feeling a lot better today, I'm starting to see a future and some positives

7:33 am

cattyrina

right, that's what I thought. here we can justify pretty much anything (if the school has the resources to provide the text) it's pretty daunting when you first start though...

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Kate: Eat, drink, eat drink, eat drink...please!

7:33 am

kthdsn

I'm drinking scrabbler but I'm not ready to eat yet

7:49 am

kthdsn

I just have to change a bum, won't be long

7:50 am

toronto's film industry is still a lot larger than vancouver, but vancouver does the better shows.

7:51 am

Mom

Kate, have you made flight arrangements yet?

7:54 am

kthdsn

we never put any of our accounts into both of our names, I personally owe Â£9.5k, so I will have Â£10.5k to get a flight and get settled

7:54 am

Mom

I do wish you and your daughters well.

7:55 am

kthdsn

I'm going to leave him the house and the mortgage and the rest of the debts that he can take ownership of, he'll be in a huge mess, but I'm thankful that he's enabling me to have a fresh start with the girls

mousey

oh i thought bonk ment a real one

7:58 am

bonkler

what! you trying to tell me that old doc pachydermis isn't an elephant? that he isn't a skin doctor? my reality crumbles...

7:59 am

mattygroves

Agreed! But if he takes it legal, you might have complications. ARe you hoping to relocate to Canada, or just visit whilst you work out your options?

7:59 am

Alien

Right now my neighbor is going through a similar thing. Its a horrible thing to go through.

7:59 am

kthdsn

8:00 am

TrickyRic

8:00 am

kthdsn

8:01 am

Alien

I assume there is no Reconciliation possible?

8:02 am

kthdsn

no alien, he's made that quite clear

8:03 am

kthdsn

although we are going to stay married for a while so that if he changes his mind he can legally join us in canada

8:03 am

Alien

oh--poor thing. I am sure you will make a fine fresh start in canada.

kthdsn

hi all I'm back

8:13 am

TrickyRic

its defined as 'the tough, viscid, nitrogenous substance remaining when the flour of wheat or other grain is washed to remove the starch.' but i think its easier to spot if you think of natural sugar

8:14 am

mattygroves

Some people are intolerant of the gl6/7 combo. You find it in wheat, bread etc. You can buy gl6-free bread, for those who can't digest it.

8:15 am

o-o

gl 6 = buttocks muscle, abbr, and not hte beginning but the **d

8:17 am

bonkler

some people are intolerant of the gl 6/7s. we call them starchists.

TrickyRic

hi merk

8:20 am

mattygroves

Have you got the gl5/14 above it?

8:21 am

Merk

no

8:21 am

Merk

I've just begun, but loved the gl discussion and started looking for gl words.

8:22 am

mattygroves

OK, the gl5/14 - think of what happens when you drive into bright sunlight - you see gl5/14 (alt spelling) and then add a letter to turn it into an adjective.

8:22 am

o-o

Merk, hirsute-like with a g

8:22 am

mattygroves

Or BabbleRabble's clue LOL!

8:22 am

TrickyRic

Merk

8:24 am

TrickyRic

mattygroves

Thanks Ric!

8:25 am

8:27 am

kthdsn

you'll be pleased to hear I'm eating, only an apple but it's a start

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Gues what, I haven't left yet--the Babble magnet is pulling me in. Merk--gl4 and gl5 use the 3rd vowel--the words mean brain cells. gl4 = gl + chemistry labs use v**ls

8:28 am

o-o

gl 5 == add oxygen and more of

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Yeah, Kate!

8:28 am

mattygroves

Line from Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Once More With Feeling" - "or we could just sit around and gl***"

hi mousey

11:13 am

hurshy

yes, if kate should turn out to need some cash, what we were thinking is that her mom could set up a sort of trust fund at a bank, and we could have the name of the bank and the name of the account posted in babanon for people who want to help.

11:14 am

or go to usps for all rates inge

you know, i think it makes us ALL feel better, kate, not just you, knowing what kind of a community we have here - i've always thought of the world as so big and scary, and realizing that we babblers can be a global safety net is incredibly comforting to me.

11:19 am

pam

it's true, hurshy. In the past few months, I have had such support. And, more importantly, encouragement!!!

11:19 am

Dorens

absolutely rightm hurshy... at first, when i read the chat, I thought...who are these people and WHY do they do this instead of just playing the game....but I've come to realize it is a fantastic community and we can all draw on each other's strengths. We are some pretty good people... not just wordies, but caring, perceptive friends

11:19 am

mousey...you shouldn't be swearing

12:25 pm

hurshy

WWE because they lost a court battle over the rights to WWF, to the world wildlife foundation.

12:26 pm

mousey

its not swearing

12:26 pm

well, the wildlife foundation probably does more good than a wrestling foundation

3:27 pm

chic

I'm sorry for barging in; but a question Kate, why aren't you enraged, outraged or at least as mad as a little red hen?

3:28 pm

Scrabbler I have vetoed cards this year and given a wudge to charity instead... The cost of cards posting etc it does seem a waste

5:38 pm

herinfernallady

My mum was suprised at how much stuff i have. She forgets that i am a bargin hunter. My tv cabinet cost $10 from the opshop i volunteer at. My sterio cost $150 and my dvd player was free

6:56 pm

spanner

Night dee

6:56 pm

TrickyRic

someone once told me the first part of you a woman notices is your shoes - thats not much good given the shifts i do at work!

6:57 pm

herinfernallady

What do you do ric?

6:58 pm

spanner

My sian told me it was eyes, my kerry said it was his bum, I am a simple girl...I go for a good sense of humour and a bulging....wallet

6:59 pm

herinfernallady

lol spanner

6:59 pm

TrickyRic

i'm a checkout op by contract, but right now i'm one of only 2 guys trained for trolleys mon-fri so i keep getting long shifts lugging trolleys about. you can imagine what that does to a pair of shoes...

6:59 pm

spanner

You work central to town or off shore

6:59 pm

herinfernallady

Um steelcap boots ric?

7:00 pm

TrickyRic

i work for morrisons in a small town

7:01 pm

TrickyRic

we don't get issued with steel caps herin - our health and safety policy is dated and morrisons simply don't care

7:01 pm

spanner

Our morrisons is out off town (offshore) and I always feel sorry for the trolley guy He is always drenched

7:01 pm

spanner

I have heard that before,

7:02 pm

TrickyRic

i actually dropped a rather large and heavy steel waste bin on my foot the other week and literally crushed a toe - i'm not even aloud to put it in the accident book and management couldn't understand why not physically being able to put my shoes on meant i couldn't go to work the next day

7:02 pm

TrickyRic

allowed*

7:03 pm

herinfernallady

id still wear caps. i had a pallet of 800 bottles of water land on my toe and i was greatful for caps

7:03 pm

spanner

I have also heard that if you try to sue them they just pay out just to keep you quiet. Get it in the accident book Ric...I could lead to long standing problems...

7:04 pm

herinfernallady

I used to do security hence the caps thou not allowed. Ric stuff them its your health not theirs accident book it ric

7:04 pm

TrickyRic

not quite spanner - if you sue them it goes down that you caused a loss of profit, and thats then taken out of your profit share for the year thus really you end up shooting yourself in the foot. great policies huh?

7:04 pm

spanner

Cause I could encourage you to sue them, just cause i dont work and have nothing better to do with my time....LOL (No Im not a solicitor)

7:04 pm

TrickyRic

though i've only been there 2 years so don't get a profit share anywayu

7:05 pm

spanner

You cant afford to shoot yourself in a crushed foot. The payout for you is probably worth more than your profit share

7:06 pm

herinfernallady

OHS is serious and not something to mess with. I thought by law they had to help you med wise

7:06 pm

spanner

If life is uncomfortable then you can nab the payout and get another job...

7:07 pm

TrickyRic

i'd love to herin but i can't afford to leave until i have another job settled, and the personel manager is physically refusing to have it logged. she hides behind dated policies that state unless you immediately report it to management and take a first aider with you, it doesn't get logged. whats more i know from previous cases that management will simply deny all knowledge of any accident

7:07 pm

spanner

Herin we are a backward country in many ways

7:07 pm

herinfernallady

Oh ok. Still steel caps arent that expensive. Saved my toes a few times

7:07 pm

herinfernallady

And no i have never booted anyone

7:08 pm

spanner

Get a machine and record a conversation with her and have a witness present...

7:08 pm

TrickyRic

i've had a shelf fall on my head before and after the deputy store manager 'balanced' it back up he denied i'd even told him about it

7:08 pm

spanner

Ric you are just not tricky enough ...

7:08 pm

TrickyRic

hehe

7:09 pm

TrickyRic

to be fair i do tend to complain more than i take action, but what the hell

7:09 pm

herinfernallady

oh well rick someone will get badly hurt hopefully not you and then they will get in big poo

7:09 pm

spanner

I hate big business taking advantage of 'the little people'

7:10 pm

herinfernallady

I wasn't strong enough to sue my last employer but they got recently screwed 5 grand for sexual harasment and i laughed a lot

7:10 pm

spanner

I know lets ALL botcott morrisons....

7:10 pm

TrickyRic

yay, lol

7:10 pm

spanner

*boycott*

7:11 pm

TrickyRic

i've actually thought on numerous occasions of setting up a 'less reasons' site where morrisons employees can post freely and openly about there experiences, thus causing a huge blow to the companies reputation. unfortunately though i'm yet to find either an isp or 3rd part host that will allow for such content...

7:12 pm

TrickyRic

i'm beginning to think there's no legal implimentation of freedom of speech on the internet today

7:13 pm

spanner

I was off sick after sustained bullying from my boss bought on a complete mental breakdown and I then got sacked!!!! I too was far too ill to sue them then, but I am seriously considering it now. i maynot go through with it, but I love the idea of him lying awake at night sweating, and worryiong himself sick

7:14 pm

herinfernallady

YEp spanner my boss broke my brain. I used to work as a security guard in the court rooms and i went la la.

7:14 pm
