jillibus

12:38 am

12:38 am

jillibus

Hi Mad123

12:38 am

mrpresident

well, we can't have him carrying a gun! he might accidentally shoot someone!

12:38 am

kangabrat

oddly, jilli, i don't know.

12:38 am

Andree

because we were the only ones silly enough to invite him

12:39 am

cybernan

mrpresident

Cheney is the first VP in a while who is not running for President...

12:41 am

Jadeomoan

12:42 am

ARB

He shoots others not himself in the foot.

12:42 am

1:06 am

chic

Hi sprite!

1:06 am

CyborgScrabbler

Hi Sprite, yes the grid was fun :))

1:06 am

ARB

I enjoy doing crosswords, but I've never worked against a clock -- too much pressure

1:06 am

Douglas

Mozart and the Whale? You are blessed to have Tony Attwood, who is the man as far as AS is concerned

1:06 am

Jadeomoan

grid is fun, sprite. How are you today?

1:07 am

mrpresident

Doug, just got his latest book!! he is awesome

1:07 am

sprite

reasonable ok, Jade, thanks for asking :)
I can really use a nice grid though, and it looks like I am getting one!

1:07 am

Douglas

Just looked it up...It seems like a worthy topic for Aspieverse Now...

1:08 am

Douglas

I'm working on a series of posts on each chapter of his book...I've reviewed it at Amazon...

1:09 am

jillibus

How are things going, sprite?

1:09 am

mrpresident

do watch it doug.... it was well planned and scripted beautifully

1:09 am

sprite

it is tough going, jilli, but the company doc gave me another 3 months, unasked for, so at least there is less pressure now :)

1:10 am

mrpresident

please send me links to anything you have to offer doug... always good to know POV about AS

1:10 am

jillibus

good for the company doc -- and good for you!

1:11 am

DRBERNABO

Nice review, Douglas

1:12 am

jillibus

Um...what is AS?

1:12 am

sprite

who was it who complained about having no Es in the grid? Could he or she speak a little softer next time please? :)

1:13 am

Douglas

It doesn't have enough reviews by movie critics at rottentomatoes.com to say one way or the other...the viewer group seemed to like it...

1:13 am

jillibus

I think I did, sprite *handing head*

1:13 am

Douglas

It wasn't me, sprite...

1:13 am

jillibus

hi sprite ...anyone I missed earlier

1:33 am

sprite

hi Dee :)

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

how are you doing?

1:36 am

sprite

I think I am slowwwly going in the right direction. It's tough going, but the company doc decided all by himself that I was to be given another 3 months to get better. That takes away some of the pressure and that helps :)
Thanks for asking. How are you?

1:36 am

Douglas

Job said "I know that my ******er liveth..." It's in Handel's Messiah, but it sometimes gets skipped...

1:37 am

sprite

nice clue, Douglas - too bad the whole word isn't here :(

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

fine ty; a little sore and achey because of the weather changes. I am so glad to hear you are getting the support you need!

1:38 am

Douglas

indeed...thanks sprite...

1:38 am

ARB

Speaking of alphaets... I have found , so far, 5 Hebrew words.

1:38 am

sprite

That's not nice, Dee, aching joints and muscles :(
Hope it settles a bit soon.

1:38 am

ARB

alphabet

1:39 am

jillibus

ha, no wonder I'm stuck, ARB!

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

cool ar

1:39 am

sprite

I love hebrew words. It is such a rich and beautiful language - I'd love to learn to speak and read it.

1:40 am

Douglas

I have the ubiquitous circular dance and its plural...but I don't know what other hebrew words are in the grid...

1:40 am

ARB

They've all been in grids before -- two are a dance and its plural, two are the Hebrew word for Old Testament and its plural, and the 5th is the word for room, but used in Yiddish as the classroom

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

the summer before my brother went to seminary; he taught himself Hebrew; wish he wasn't the only one to be gifted with languages; I have enough trouble with English

1:41 am

mom23

yea! Got the 9! Back to bed for me.

1:41 am

ARB

The language is fairly regular, not a lot of exceptions to the rule (as in English and French), but the difficulty is in the fact that it is a different alphabet

1:42 am

Douglas

Doesn't the OT word have an h on the end? Isn't that a vrnt splng?

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

love to hear it

1:42 am

jillibus

thanks, ARB -- got 4 but the room escapes me

1:42 am

ARB

Doug, you're right -- most often spelled with the h at the end

1:42 am

Douglas

Ah, so Hebrew has a better phonemic orthography than English...not that that's saying much, as English has a lousy phonemic orthography...

1:42 am

sprite

I had ancient greek at school and I studied japanese later on, so I had some training in learning different alphabets. It is fascinating, it changes one's perception of language in a way.

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

I bet it does. Very facsinating.

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

fascinating even

1:43 am

sprite

:)

1:44 am

Douglas

phantom exact

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

is that spelled correctly

1:44 am

sprite

mine is ravine

1:44 am

sprite

totally correct, Dee!

1:44 am

ARB

Hebrew is totally phonetic. The rub is that the vowel sounds are through the series of dots and lines under the consonants and after 5th or 6th grade (and in newspapers and books) they drop the dots and lines and then the new immigrant has trouble deciphering the words

1:45 am

sprite

ARB, does that mean that after a while you have to fill in all the vowels automatically? That sounds tough!

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

ty sprite; must be on my last neuron; wow ar that would be tough

1:46 am

jillibus

not seeing words -- time for bed -- night all

1:46 am

ARB

It does and it is, sprite. But you do get used to it -- there are fairly rigid rules, so it you learn them you can manage fairly well

1:47 am

sprite

definitely sounds as a challenge!

1:47 am

sprite

night jilli, sweet dreams *hug*

1:47 am

Douglas

1:57 am

1:57 am

mrpresident

1:57 am

ARB

2:02 am

Douglas

I mean, think of the poor, overworked, underpaid c...

2:03 am

sprite

but the C has my full support, that should relieve some of the stress

2:04 am

mrpresident

F, C and K are my tragedy! think of the poor vowel!! so sad really!

2:04 am

sprite

LOLLL

2:05 am

Douglas

While it would make sense to make all soft c's described by s's, would you follow Captain Circ into battle against the Klingons? I think not!

2:13 am

2:13 am

sprite

I have the feeling you are pretty sexy in your own way, Douglas :)

2:13 am

lynxxx

Oh Douglas - you don't have too! we're all in love with your mind

2:15 am

mrpresident

hahaha! lickety is balding gracefully!! now all we need is the english accent and he is so good to go!!

2:16 am

sprite

with a package like that, no accent is needed, mrP ;)

2:17 am

mrpresident

the complete package is smiling! :))

2:24 am

Douglas

Somehow I had it in my head that Picard and Dr. Crusher had a romantic relationship, but on further review, it wasn't the case...or should I say "It won't be the case," because it didn't happen in the future?

3:27 am

Yoink

I just got the two 8s too, took a little while, still waking up

Haz1558

Thank you!

3:31 am

3:32 am

lynxxx

it is Fran see Haz at 3.27

3:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, I gave a hint in my slow on the uptake comment.

3:33 am

FranMag

duh, thanks haz and lynxxx

3:33 am

Haz1558

No problem, Fran.

3:33 am

oggy

hi all, the 9 is ca9/78, found 1 ca8/50 cant find the other

3:34 am

Haz1558

oggy - the other one is the person doing the action.

3:34 am

FranMag

oggy, the other is the one who did it

3:34 am

lynxxx

change the last letter Oggy - and Hi

3:34 am

3:35 am

oggy

thanks went the wrong way.

3:36 am

Haz1558

th8/50- plural body part

3:36 am

Yoink

don't get your clue for the e6 lynxxx

3:36 am

Haz1558

th6/36 being the singular

3:36 am

lynxxx

too much Yoink

3:37 am

FranMag

TY Haz

3:37 am

Yoink

Thanks for teh th8, Haz

3:37 am

You're welcome!

3:39 am

FranMag

i'm surprised it doesn't accept the sc7 word describing one wearing neckwear

3:39 am

Eva

Good morning. Haz, I'm being dense, I know, but don't see how you can make a plural out of the th6/36?

3:39 am

FranMag

hi eva!

3:39 am

Haz1558

The ending becomes the same as a high scoring card in games.

3:40 am

Alex7777

once you get the th6, click the dictionary to see plural of it

3:40 am

FranMag

eva, it ends like many Indy 500s

3:40 am

Haz1558

And, good morning, Eva.

3:40 am

lynxxx

Hi Eva

3:41 am

Eva

thanks! Never would have found that without the dictionary-now I see what you mean fran

3:41 am

need help with ca9/50?

3:41 am

FranMag

oops, haz and i both used a word earlier when giving a clue.

3:42 am

FranMag

cool eva

3:42 am

FranMag

alex, meat eater

3:43 am

Alex7777

thought that was ca 9/78

3:44 am

Alex7777

oops my bad

3:44 am

Eva

there's only one 9

3:44 am

Alex7777

i mean i need help with ca 8

3:44 am

Alex7777

sorry

3:45 am

Eva

there are 2 ca8's-both come from the ca6/21pbouncing off the walls

3:45 am

Haz1558

Both ca8 words are developed from ca6/21 - structured similarly to the lifetime job choice, but ending in a different consonant.

3:45 am

FranMag

alex, both extend the ca6/21 that means to go out of control, especially cars

3:45 am

Yoink

Only just got the e6 and the 2 8s off it. Just couldn't see the letters going round that way

3:45 am

Happy Birthday movieman

Once you find th6/36, press on the dictionary definition, and it will give you the plural.

Marc Freeman

Haz no way is there a letter with 6 points in that word?

4:22 am

Haz1558

Have a look at the grid, Marc. Second row, third column.

4:22 am

FranMag

the plural ends like many "Indy 500s" marc

4:22 am

Marc Freeman

Yes I can't see that letter in that word, it would be too many points

4:23 am

Haz1558

The singular ends in the 6 point letter. The plural drops it and becomes something else entirely. God of war plus unreturnable tennis serves/high scoring cards.

4:23 am

Haz1558

If you click on the dictionary definition of the singular, it gives you the plural.

To lose a kitty is like losing part of your own sole...:(

5:20 am

movieman

I agree, hodag, I too have experienced that pain.....

5:21 am

Eva

It took maybe 5 years before the acute pain of losing Merp's predecessor softened. Our relationships with them are so much less complicated and ambivalent than our relationships with our humans. And it seems that, especially if they are indoor cats, they rarely go on their own any more....

5:22 am

Haz1558

Husband nearly had me reduced to tears by telling me about a very ill golden retriever he was about to euthanase, turning round and giving him 'a noble look'. Vets aren't immune to emotion, they just have to hide it sometimes. Anyway, taking a break and I'll be back later.

6:04 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scrabbler!

6:05 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks Haz it is unlikely

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Hazel--I read your comment below, what your husband told you about the dog. Sad, but inspiring in a way, that animals can show emotions and communicate with us.

6:07 am

Haz1558

I know - he does feel that he has to be the one to be controlled, but it doesn't mean that he is impervious to the suffering of his patients or their owners.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I was at my vet yest, my bunny Sebastian has had tearing eyes and my vet is SO kind--described Sebastian as a sweet litle soul. He is OK, bt she will speak with the vet ophthalmologist today.

6:07 am

Haz1558

And, yes, he felt as though the dog trusted him to do the right thing.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I have cried with families during tragic times with children. It is OK for us to show emotions and families appreciate a truly caring MD.

Oh that Mr. Blair, like him but didn't like his support of Bush's war.

Scrabbler

Hmm, I was finding lots of words and now I have slowed down at just 75

6:43 am

8:03 am

EvaNadine

8:12 am

Haz1558

Hello again - back to get my last words.

8:12 am

EvaNadine

mornin haz!
so quiet in here today!!

8:12 am

Haz1558

Is it? There were quite a few around earlier on.

8:13 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i think most everyone had "real world" stuff to do...go figure!

8:13 am

Haz1558

Maybe the rest of the US contingent will arrive soon. Or maybe they've all finished.

8:13 am

Haz1558

Or maybe they've given up babble for lent???

8:13 am

EvaNadine

heh, well, ive just started, myself. :)

8:14 am

EvaNadine

ahh, is it lent already?

8:14 am

Haz1558

It's a fun grid, you'll enjoy it.

8:14 am

EvaNadine

hopefully i wont be too busy today -- i feel like i may actually be in a babbly mood...hehe

8:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think it started yesterday or Tuesday.

8:15 am

EvaNadine

of course - yesterdays theme was ash wednesday...DUH.
*not a catholic*

8:16 am

Haz1558

Pennies drop, light bulbs light up.....

8:16 am

EvaNadine

heh

8:17 am

Haz1558

It's a bit like when you find a word you've been looking for....

8:17 am

EvaNadine

yes, you feel a bit fishy...heh

8:19 am

EvaNadine

im feeling a bit dense with this grid...only 94 words found and im already stumped!

8:20 am

Haz1558

That's not like you - feeling dense! The words are there, the longer ones are fairly normal, for once.

8:21 am

EvaNadine

well, we are nearing the end of the week...and its been an odd week for me, so im not sure the brain is keeping up...hah

8:22 am

Haz1558

Well, give a yell if you need any clues - or just take a break and see if the words appear more readily.

8:22 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i managed to finish yesterdays little one, so it was a nice boost -- i may actually use the list today to help me along, which i normally dont do...
heres hoping work allows me to babble today. ;)

8:23 am

Haz1558

May evanadine's bosses be smitten with temporary blindness...

8:24 am

EvaNadine

hehe...funny you say that -- my boss just had lasik a week or so ago!

8:24 am

Haz1558

Was it for shortsight? Did it work?

8:25 am

jakes-mum

hello all, please could I have a clue for both CE5/12's please? ;-)

8:25 am

EvaNadine

not sure what his vision was, but he seems very happy with it!
(hes a good boss + a nice guy, so i dont wish bad things on him)

8:25 am

EvaNadine

jakes -- i only have one, when something ends, it CE***s

8:26 am

Haz1558

Hi jakes-mum - the first one is to stop, the second one adds a female name, spanish river type word.

8:26 am

EvaNadine

ahh, thanks for that one, haz -- got the plural too. :)

8:27 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

8:27 am

EvaNadine

ooh, grayed out my first square -- the little i...hehe

8:28 am

jakes-mum

ty, got the first one, will have to work on the second

8:29 am

jakes-mum

ahh got it now, ty haz

8:29 am

Haz1558

Glad to help, jakes-mum.

8:29 am

EvaNadine

8:31 am

Atalante

8:31 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante! Problems getting on?

8:32 am

Atalante

all day *sigh*

8:33 am

Haz1558

Frustration levels must have been high, then!

8:33 am

Atalante

very high!

8:34 am

Haz1558

The good news is that it's a nice grid, and if you eat up your meat, you'll be an example of the highest letter word.

8:35 am

Atalante

oooo yes! well, I'm eating celeriac, bacon and leek soup, so thats kind of appropriate

8:36 am

Haz1558

It sounds very healthy!

8:37 am

Atalante

its *gorgeous*

8:38 am

pianokid88

hello i'm back everyone

8:38 am

Haz1558

Hello piano.

8:38 am

Atalante

just the thing after a cold wet beach

8:39 am

Haz1558

Is that a description of Hobbit's coat!!?

8:40 am

Atalante

LOL pretty much! she does seem to like bringing back as much sand and mud and seaweed as possible!

8:41 am

cybernan

Good Morning, Everyone :)

8:41 am

Haz1558

8:42 am

Haz1558

Hello cybernan.

8:42 am

Alleyn

and immediately have seen the 9!

8:42 am

pianokid88

how many people have got the ca 9-78

8:43 am

Haz1558

You see - a break really does help!

8:43 am

cybernan

I always think that in the morning all the words I couldn't find the night before are just going to pop right out at me ----- of course they never do!

8:43 am

FMitch

Afternoon all, just taking a tea break from work.

Ata that soup sounds devine - home made or bought?

8:43 am

inge

I do, casue I have fireworks, ca 9 is a meat eating animal

8:43 am

cybernan

there is also a ca 8/50 and ca 8/45

8:43 am

Atalante

definitely bought, but I think from the ingredients list I could probably make it myself from now on!

8:43 am

Haz1558

Well done inge!

8:44 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon FMItch.

8:44 am

cybernan

congrats, inge -- you're way ahead of me!

8:44 am

inge

good thing too, since I have a dental appointment at eelven...across town, and orchestra hall duty tonight with Winton Marsalis as soloist

8:45 am

FMitch

Hey Haz greetings from soggy Berks

Ata think I will google for a recepie

8:45 am

Atalante

tell me if you find one because it is an absolutely gorgeous combination of flavours!

8:46 am

Haz1558

Well, sounds like we have the better weather today. I have clothes out on the line..

8:47 am

FMitch

Will do, grated raw celaric in a sharp may with smoked salmon miked in is another fav.

8:47 am

cybernan

how about a clue for the ex 8's, inge?

8:48 am

Atalante

mmmm! I love celeriac, I wish it was more widely used

8:50 am

Haz1558

Has inge gone already? ex8 words build on the ex6 - to go over a limit, spending or speeding.

8:50 am

FMitch

I can see it is one of those grid done in stages. Can't see anything for 5 mins and then spot a chain of connected words.

8:50 am

Alleyn

Absolutely right!

8:51 am

pabtrek

how many 8's are there

8:51 am

Haz1558

There are 6 8 letter words.

8:51 am

Alleyn

six of which I have one

8:51 am

cybernan

thanks haz -- kept looking for that word and didn't think it was there so didn't even try it!

8:51 am

pabtrek

thanks haz

8:52 am

Haz1558

It's because it starts with the e in an unexpected position....

8:52 am

FMitch

Take heart Allenyn I haven't found any yet :)

8:52 am

Alleyn

have an hour

8:53 am

cybernan

missing one 8- have so far: ca x2, ex x2, th

8:53 am

Haz1558

There are two th8 words. One is a plural body part, the other relates to logical arguments.

8:54 am

cybernan

mmmmmm gone looking for body parts....

8:55 am

lizmac

searching for EX anything, but getting nowhere, any clues please?

8:55 am

Haz1558

It's the plural for th6/36, cybernan.

8:55 am

pabtrek

thanks for the clues haz, i kept looking for the singular body part

8:55 am

ursh

lizmac - ex**** the speed limit

8:56 am

Haz1558

ex4/10 and ex5/22 - shortened office big noises.

8:56 am

cybernan

figured that haz --- just trying to figure out how to make it plural!

8:57 am

Alleyn

Great clues/ keep them coming. No have half the 8s and 2 of the 7s

8:57 am

Haz1558

It goes on the same principle as index.

8:57 am

Atalante

take off the last letter and work from there

8:57 am

lizmac

I was looking in entirely the wrong direction. TY

8:57 am

cybernan

thank you, haz -- something new learned today!

8:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, cybernan!

8:58 am

FMitch

Ditto what cnan just said

8:58 am

EvaNadine

CA8x2 and EX8x2, eh?
dont have any of those...hehe

8:59 am

Gobias

this is a pretty smart bunch... great clues!

8:59 am

Alleyn

Have one of each Evanadine

8:59 am

Haz1558

evanadine - change a consonant at the end of your lifetime job choice (ca6) to give you a bouncing about word. Extend on it to give you the two ca8 words.

9:00 am

Haz1558

ca8/50 - is the past tense, ca8/45 is the person doing the action.

9:00 am

EvaNadine

hah, didnt have the job choice yet, but i do now!
and the other 3 that go along with your clue. :)

9:01 am

EvaNadine

thanks haz!

9:01 am

Haz1558

You're welcome!

9:01 am

pabtrek

don't get the ex big noise clue

9:01 am

EvaNadine

got any amazing hints for the EX8s yet?
;)

9:02 am

Alleyn

just can't fathom the extension to the job choice

9:03 am

Haz1558

ex4/10 - maybe not so much big noise as in a lofty position on the ca6/21 ladder.

9:03 am

EvaNadine

alleyn -- its not an extension to the job choice, you have to change the last letter of that one to another word, then there are to extensions to that word.

9:03 am

Haz1558

Alleyn - change a consonant at the end.

9:04 am

Haz1558

eva - ex6 - to go over the limit, begin with the e right in the middle of the grid.

9:05 am

EvaNadine

thanks hax -- thats one of the tiles i have no words for yet. :)

9:05 am

cybernan

pabtrek -- the ceo is one

9:05 am

EvaNadine

well, thats all my 8s! still dont have the 9 and only have one 7, but the day is still young. :)

9:05 am

Alleyn

Eva - thanks that's one of them sorted

9:05 am

EvaNadine

oops, haZ, not haX!
:)

9:05 am

pabtrek

ah big noise in business world, got them

9:06 am

Haz1558

ca9 - a meat eater - begin like the fairground, end with the mineral container

9:07 am

cybernan

have you finished haz?

9:07 am

Haz1558

2 to go....

9:07 am

FMitch

Good going Haz!

9:07 am

Atalante - how is your friend doing?

9:21 am

Atalante

oh gosh, the poor dear, today she's having surgery to put a central line back in and a colonoscopy and a CT scan! she's fed up, as you can imagine!

9:22 am

Haz1558

Poor girl.

9:22 am

Atalante

she is *not* amused, but I suppose it gets it all out of the way in 1 day!

9:23 am

Haz1558

It must be just awful for her. I hope she finds the strength to cope with all the pain.

9:24 am

Atalante

I dont know how she keeps smiling, she's an amazing person. am going to pop up on saturday and surprise her for a few hours

9:24 am

torgone

Meh . . .81 to go and I'm running on fumes . .

9:24 am

Haz1558

I don't suppose you could smuggle Hobbit in in that basket? That would put a smile on her face.

9:25 am

Haz1558

Then again, the infection control people in the hospital would have apoplexy.

9:26 am

Atalante

I've actually done that before!! But she's in the NHS hospital this time and I don't think I'd get away with it LOL but I've been taking loads of photos of pup and kit to show her. anything to distract her for a moment from what she's going through!

9:26 am

Haz1558

Hello torgone - you've been working away very quietly.

9:26 am

Atalante

when she goes into the local private hospital you can sneak things on through the windows and no-one notices LOL

Haz1558

I used to take Spangle to visit my late father-in-law when he was in an old people's home. We usually timed it right for tea and biscuits...

9:28 am

Haz1558

Hello harpjane - I should get my jargon right!

9:29 am

Atalante

I'm sure! I'm actually thinking that when Hobbit calms down a bit more, I might try and "train" her as a petting dog and take her into nursing homes etc. People get so much joy from seeing a dog, and everyone just adores Hobbit

There was a chicken farmer who lived in a village in China. One year, his chickens were afflicted with a strange blight that caused them to lose their feathers. The farmer was deeply concerned about this, because winter was coming, and, if the chickens had no feathers, they would freeze to death.

So, the farmer decided to consult the two wisest men in the land. First, he visited Mr. Hing, the renowned scholar. Mr. Hing leafed through all his agricultural and medicinal texts and pored over books and scrolls well into the night. Finally, he returned to the farmer and told him that, if he crushed the leaves of a gum tree into powder, made it into tea, and fed it to his chickens, they would be cured.

The farmer then went to Mr. Ming, the great seer. Mr. Ming cast stones, read tea leaves, and poked through entrails until finally he came up with the answer: "As surely as gum causes a shoe to stick to the ground, tea made from gum leaves will cause feathers to stick to chickens."

Now the farmer was ecstatic. The two wisest men in the land had given him exactly the same prescription. So, as soon as he returned home, he took some gum leaves and made tea from them. He mixed this with the chicken feed and fed it to his chickens. But it didn't work. The chickens continued to lose their feathers, and, with the onset of winter, they all froze.

The moral of this story: "All of Hing's courses and all of Ming's ken couldn't get gum tea to feather a hen."

Book Doctor Gwen

A wandering monk walked barefoot everywhere he went, to the point that the soles of his feet eventually became quite thick and leathery. And because he ate very little, he gradually became very frail. Several days often passed between opportunities to brush his teeth, so he usually had bad breath. Therefore, throughout the region, he came to be known as the super-calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.

ad...ne4/5...type of tropical tree

3:30 pm

stidmama

LOL peri! good for you... i hate automated calls.

3:30 pm

i think it's dumb that caps mean shouting... it's so much easier for me to read caps (retinal damage from Lyme disease)

3:31 pm

periwinkle

they really are annoying aren't they stid?

3:31 pm

periwinkle

ADHD, didn't realize you could get retinal damage from Lyme disease

3:32 pm

donshula

any clues for the 'x' in any word(s)?

3:32 pm

I find the all caps more difficult to read... the shape of the words are all the same when they're like that

yippee! grayed the top E in the second column... and finally more than halfway! :-)

3:33 pm

periwinkle

I was looking in the wrong direction

3:33 pm

K.Elisabet

AD, are caps easier to read because they are bigger?

3:33 pm

stidmama

has anyone seen hurshy in the last couple days? I think I have missed her with our strange vacation-type schedule...

3:34 pm

K.Elisabet

I think hurshy was here this morning

3:34 pm

periwinkle

she was on earlier stid and she said she had two interviews coming up and she is sending out lots of resumes

3:34 pm

stidmama

thanks peri for the update. :-) I am glad she is making progess on that!

3:34 pm

I am still looking for a part time job

3:36 pm

stidmama

retail temping? do any of the local stores need people who can stand in for clerks and cashiers?

3:36 pm

periwinkle

yes ADHD

3:36 pm

Wolvie

sounds the same ad - sea version and ser version

3:36 pm

periwinkle

never been a clerk or a cashier

3:36 pm

ADHDWordLover

that's further down wolvie

3:37 pm

periwinkle

I looked online at Borders but no openings in my area

3:37 pm

Wolvie

ah - well - I obviously don't have all the s's yet. :-)

3:37 pm

periwinkle

A target is opening around the corner from me, was thinking of trying there since it is so close

3:38 pm

stidmama

it's not generally too difficult, but does require standing (so not great for people with bad backs). I like retail because the customers are usually so much fun to work with... (now you all know how strange I am)

3:38 pm

Wolvie

there is one that is the same 4 letters as the char, just rearranged

3:38 pm

stidmama

target seems to be a good place to work. The people at our local store are always pleased to be there.

3:38 pm

periwinkle

not sure I want or could stand all day

3:38 pm

mo

se4/4 ... take off last letter of the next word.

3:39 pm

stidmama

but there are often part-time jobs -- managers don't want to fully staff a store during off-hours...

3:39 pm

periwinkle

part time is what I am looking for so I think I will look into Target then

3:39 pm

stidmama

and mature workers can be hard to find so you would be a real asset! :-)

3:39 pm

Wolvie

Lowes and HD are good too for part time

3:40 pm

periwinkle

well I may be older than the average bear but I am not mature :-)

3:40 pm

periwinkle

thanks Wolvie

3:41 pm

stidmama

*grin* not mature as in old, mature as in not picking your nose while you complain about the extra homework your teachers assign when you have a date with the quarterback...

3:41 pm

mamato1

starbucks might be a good option too. They're supposed to have good benefits, even for part timers.

3:41 pm

periwinkle

never thought of that mama something to look into, do you know if they hire older workers

3:41 pm

ADHDWordLover

the Gap gives full benefits for 12 hours a week

3:42 pm

periwinkle

don't Gap would be appropriate for me although I like their clothes, may Chico's

3:42 pm

CubsChick

our starbucks has a couple ladies who are grandmothers and grey :)

3:42 pm

mamato1

I don't know. I imagine they would as long as you could keep up, Peri. I mean, they couldn't NOT hire you because of your age.

6:06 pm

greengeeny

109 left...only three grey tiles to my name as of yet

6:06 pm

Smdnjv

mrslfd3...conceived in the heart is not a lot of difference than conceived in the womb. One of my nieces could have had her own but chose adoption because of the abundance of children in need of a loving home. She has never, never regretted her decision.

6:08 pm

greengeeny

okay I am fetching my list and getting deep into the puzzle....

6:09 pm

CubsChick

Andree

hi everyone

6:10 pm

kangabrat

morning, andree

6:10 pm

mrslfd3

smd...we could have gone with expensive fertility tx and gone broke but decided that we were more interested in RAISING kids than HAVING them... if you follow me. Also, our chances of successful fert tx is slimmer than most and no guarantee...but with adoption, you almost definitely get a child.

6:10 pm

CubsChick

thank you thank you!

6:11 pm

evanonut

and then you raise them to be little trolls, then to be adults

6:11 pm

magzel

grammaterri1

etc

6:17 pm

stidmama

I don't like mean people, SMD, and I think idol and shows of its ilk are intended to bring out the meanest of the mean. I know some people including my dear friend feather enjoy them, but I think they're a waste of bandwidth...

6:17 pm

stidmama

hi cliff!

6:17 pm

featherbee

ok, slap me with a fish, but i'm stuck on the middle ne4/5

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

BGL

I, unfortunately, am a reality show JUNKIE!

6:18 pm

cliffopa

i'm with you stid. if i want to see mean people i just go to the grocery store on a friday afternoon.

6:18 pm

featherbee

6:18 pm

Eva

Hi cliff. We ventured into your state today-went to the art museum at Dartmouth. A whole lot less snow down there.

6:18 pm

Smdnjv

I agree Stid...I dont watch idol either!! I do not believe that making fun of people for whatever reason is fun!!

6:18 pm

stidmama

*grinning at deaf feather* do feathers have ears? LOL

6:18 pm

featherbee

i love seeing them sing, and cheering on my favorites. i do not like when the criticism turns to just meanness though.

6:19 pm

featherbee

ty kanga!

6:19 pm

NonnieLight

good evening all

6:19 pm

featherbee

so i do agree in part with you stid, but i still really enjoy watching the rest of the show!

6:19 pm

stidmama

hey Nonnie1

6:19 pm

grammaterri1

but ya'll those people would never have the opportunity to be discovered if not for idol

6:19 pm

6:20 pm

cliffopa

hi eva! i haven't been to dartmouth area since my husband's 4 surgeries back in fall of '05. i spent a month there. nice area, but bad memories.

6:20 pm

Smdnjv

I have watched Idol in the past, but first show this year was my last one. Tooooo much meanness from all three judges.

6:20 pm

stidmama

ROFL feather! that is just too funny!

6:20 pm

Eva

For sure! Giving hospitals a wide berth is a good idea.

6:20 pm

Andree

kanga, the last ca6 i have is the cut up word, can't get a 6/21 from that

6:21 pm

grammaterri1

it's a cold cruel world in the entertainment biz, wish it wasn't so, but I get tickled to see the performers blossom into stars ( :

6:21 pm

featherbee

no more Ns! brb, gotta run bathwater

6:21 pm

cliffopa

i will admit though, if i ever have a serious illness or injury, i'd go to dartmouth/hitchcock in a heartbeat. some of the best doctors and nurses on the planet.

6:21 pm

grammaterri1

lol at stid and feather, cute

6:21 pm

kangabrat

ok, andree. need ca4/5 (suit****) + no out. then ca4/5 + *oyal *navy

6:22 pm

NonnieLight

I am sad to say that I have stayed away from Idol all these years and this season I'm hooked...I do not like the mean and cruel comments either but I do enjoy the entertainment and love to see when someone nails it...some of the women last night were wonderful!

6:22 pm

grammaterri1

see ya feather

6:22 pm

grammaterri1

all of the blacks ones sure did eh nonnie?

6:22 pm

6:23 pm

NonnieLight

Oh, I thought the last performer (bad with names) was wonderful and yes, I thought the woman were so good that I perdicted a woman will take it this year.

6:23 pm

Eva

That's really good to hear. I've been used, for so many years, to having all of the medical services of Boston available to ms, and after we moved here I suddenly realized that here we were, moving into our older years, away from all of that. We are right in between Dartmouth and Fletcher Allen in Burlington, but I've been there with friends and haven't felt that good about it.

6:23 pm

kangabrat

down to 9. vi5/16? anyone?

6:24 pm

stidmama

I need three more Cs to clear that letter... CA 6/21 after the 5/22 that is a rushlike plant; and the CE 5/12, 6/21 combo vefore the end...

6:24 pm

stidmama

go kanga go!

6:24 pm

NonnieLight

go kanga!

6:24 pm

Smdnjv

Nonnie everyone has their on take on the Idol show. I think I am a little more sensitive to their insensitivity than most...but I work with a person that lives to talk, gossip and make fun of people. Idol is one of her favorite shows...therefore it is my least favorite.

6:25 pm

stidmama

add a hooked consonant in the middle of second vi4...

6:25 pm

6:51 pm

featherbee

he and doug were playing the computer game. it ended, game finished naturally. i tried to get him to the bath, he started crying about the game ending. so i said we can skip the bath, let's go read stories. he calmed down, changed into pj's, read stories, did the whole routine. as i'm turning off the light and bringing him to the crib, he spots the bathroom door down the hallway and decides he wants his bath now. so is currently screaming in the crib because i'm not willing to undress him and go through the whole routine again. sigh. it's been one of those days.

6:51 pm

Sherylr1961

ah got it ty

6:51 pm

featherbee

whoa, i wrote a lot!

6:52 pm

featherbee

actually, he's calming down right now. just angry mutterings every now and then.

6:52 pm

Dorens

you got it off your chest....good for you. sounds like you're being a very unreasonable mother (to a two=year old's way of thinking)

6:52 pm

stidmama

you did. you sound pretty upset... (((feather))) you're not a bad mama, you're being flexible without being a doormat.

6:52 pm

featherbee

yes dorens, that's exactly what the problem has been! mommy's not letting daniel rule the world 24/7

6:53 pm

mrslfd3

oh, mean mommy...good mommy :)

6:53 pm

featherbee

i'm going to go in once i know the occasional hollers are done, and wish him a real good night

6:53 pm

Dorens

stick to your guns feather... you're a wonderful mother and you DO know what happens when you let them rule the world!

6:53 pm

prismmgc2

why oh why can't I see the 1st ca 4?

6:53 pm

featherbee

like i said, it's been one of those days, pretty much since breakfast. ah well. he will eventually learn that screaming does not get me to say yes, it in fact makes me want to say no more!

6:53 pm

mrslfd3

LOL, helps when we spell he words correctly, huh? DUH

6:53 pm

holy d's!!! I hardly have any and didn't realize there were so many...

Great idea, Stid.

A big part of parenting is teaching kids to recognize and deal with their emotions, in healthy ways. But, think of adults drowning their emotions with alcohol/drugs, or going to "anger management" classes.

6:58 pm

Change of Pace

I think we fall in love with the kids again every night as they sleep. They all look so cute and seem to just grab at the heartstrings.

6:59 pm

greengeeny

6:59 pm

mrslfd3

bye, green

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

That reminds me of a great mothering book called Mittenstrings to God. I cannot think of the author right now.

7:00 pm

featherbee

yep, scrabbler. i don't want him to stuff emotions, but be able to calm himself down appropriately. thus when he does this, i'll say "can you calm down here, or do you need to go to your crib to calm down?" either choice is fine with me, whatever works to calm him.

7:00 pm

mrslfd3

definitely, scrab.

7:00 pm

stidmama

later BGL and greeny

7:00 pm

featherbee

bye greengeeny

7:00 pm

stidmama

I love the name, Scrabbler!

7:01 pm

stidmama

I think something I did "right" -- as opposed to the many thing I didn't... was I told the children they can feel as angry, sad, frustrated (etc) as they want, but that they may not take it out on me or anyone else. Then we practiced appropriate responses...

7:01 pm

stidmama

DE 6/21 please?

7:01 pm

featherbee

yup, that's my attitude to stid

7:02 pm

featherbee

too*

7:02 pm

good parenting techniques.... you two want to come teach parenting workshops at my school?

7:02 pm

it's so great to hear all these good parents, when walmart seems filled with clueless parents and their unruly progeny.

7:02 pm

featherbee

who's watching idol? why are they mentioning these people?

7:02 pm

Can someone mentor the ones in Walmart please!

7:03 pm

dorens, as a kindergarten teacher, i wish i could give many of my parents lessons

7:03 pm

stidmama

I think there is some sort of idol elimination today feather....

7:03 pm

grammaterri1

feather, those are the stars that will be coaching the idols to sing their music

7:03 pm

featherbee

sadly, daniel's been one of hte ones in wal-mart a time or two. it's hard when they decide to have a tantrum in public.

7:04 pm

featherbee

oh, awesome! i only started listening when i heard bon jovi, my honey

7:04 pm

Scrabbler

As a pediatrician, I wish parents would listen to my lessons and advice.

7:04 pm

Dorens

scrab, tell them if they don't they should find another pediatrician (but you might have an empty office for a while, there)

7:04 pm

stidmama

unfortunately, so many of the clueless parents are so overwhelmed that a "class" or even reading a book about parenting is beyond them. I wish parenting -- or "uncling and aunting" was taught in school. If more adults (not just parents) had skills to deal appropriately with children the world would be a better place.

7:04 pm

mrslfd3

hey, you're only a doctor, what could YOU possibly know, right?

7:04 pm

grammaterri1

but yes 4 are going home tonite

7:04 pm

Vicuna

It isn't the public tantrums themselves I mind witnessing. What drives me crazy is when the kids are misbehaving and the parent does nothing about it.

7:05 pm

Change of Pace

I have offered my kids the option of a treat prior to going into the stores so that they would behave in an acceptable manner in public. I think that is called bribery but it worked.

7:05 pm

Dorens

stid.. i think we should have not only classes, but a test to get a license (like driving) before h aving kids. sometimes

7:05 pm

stidmama

I once stepped OVER my tantruming child in a baseball stadium's gift shop. The other adults looked at me very strangely, but in less than 30 seconds, the child had given up and come to find me...

7:05 pm

mrslfd3

I agree, vicuna.

7:05 pm

Dorens

bribery is also called positive reinforcement

7:06 pm

mrslfd3

AMEN, dorens.

7:06 pm

Change of Pace

I attended a Community College that had a Child Development Center there. if your child attended you had to take at least one class a semester. I learned much in those days.

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

I spend time with the parents that are interested in being responsible parents. When I get the cue that my advice is not wanted, I move quickly through the visit. It is so sad.

7:06 pm

featherbee

don't always assume that just because a child is screaming in public that the parent is not a good parent...i've gone into a store armed with everything, snacks, paper and crayons, toys, etc in the diaper bag, singing songs, etc, and if he's in a rotten mood, he's going to be in a rotten mood.

7:07 pm

Change of Pace

So true feather.

7:07 pm

Dorens

it really is scrab. and no, feather, most of us know that we all have our moments, even kids. the kids who get everything they want in the store, just to be kept quiet....those are the parent s who need watching

7:07 pm

stidmama

I wonder if things were better when families were multi-generational? I have a dream that they were, but in the few multi-generational families around here it seems the problems are also multi-generational

i called my mom this morning for help, he was just so out of sorts and i had zero patience...i think due to pg hormones, usually i can handle better. she came and visited for a while, we all felt better!

7:08 pm

stidmama

one time, in a public place two kids were being really obnoxious (and dangerous) and no parent in sight. So I scolded them -- the mother came rushing up and said, "I'll be the parent if you don't mind." I said, "I wish you would..."
