7:27 am

featherbee

7:27 am

evanonut

not sure if she's more fun than a tax rebate though, guess it depends on the size of the tax rebate. (no offence faerie, do love to shop!)

7:30 am

LoriP

Nut likes to shop? Where will the revelations end.....

7:30 am

Merk

Shoot, my internet disconnected and I missed Haz's answer to my question about her physiotherapy.

10:19 am

Sam

it's our civic duty to know all about terror

10:20 am

momof3boys

you are right.... i am a rotten citizen . but i am a legal citizen and that puts me ahead of the crowd these days..given how many illegals are here

10:21 am

Angela

fried ri*e, not out but ...

10:21 am

Angela

and I didn't know that word either Mom :)

10:22 am

Sam

illegals are protected by the govt. not so for us legals.

10:22 am

momof3boys

wait..it was the pl of the fi 5/18..duh..had that one. lol

10:23 am

Sam

i'm forever chasing words I already have. ;->

10:23 am

momof3boys

sam, don't get me started...believe me..i am doing a report on illegal immigrants..the stats are STAGGERING...and SCARY.... di dyou hear about the two border agents in jail in TX, ramos and compean???

10:23 am

Sam

yes, for shooting an illegal, right?

10:24 am

momof3boys

yes..and the illegal now has immunity, the right to become a citizen here...and is suing us for $5 mill.. oh yeah..and it was the 2nd time he crossed the border, as well.... what is wrong with that picture?

10:24 am

Sam

things are the way they are because those in power want it that way. it comes from the top.

10:25 am

grammaterri1

an UNARMED illegal, not that I am on his side mind you

10:25 am

momof3boys

couldn't agree more.... greed and corruption will destroy this country.

10:25 am

grammaterri1

( :

10:25 am

grammaterri1

but that's the reason they are in the most trouble

10:25 am

momof3boys

gramma..the agents had no way of knowing he was unarmed...they need to defend themselves and act as if he was armed...

10:25 am

grammaterri1

I disagree with them being sentenced to life, but retraining for sure

10:26 am

Sam

cops don't get life for murdering unarmed Americans

10:26 am

grammaterri1

understand that, like I said I am not on the illegals side, I am on the agents side

10:26 am

momof3boys

they aren't sentenced for life..they are doing 12 to 13 years....and fyi..the border patrol policy, is 5 days without pay....

10:26 am

bookgrrl

perhaps you should read the US attorney's statement on the myths and facts surrounding the case: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txw/press_re
leases/2007/Compean_Ramos_factsheet1.p
df

10:27 am

momof3boys

the ins gene, richard skinner, admitted he lied when he said the agents knew the drug dealer was armed..they dind't know

10:27 am

grammaterri1

if you put me on the border, I would shoot first and ask questions later too lol

10:27 am

pam

well, 1/3 of the words are done, see you all later!

11:02 am

momof3boys

later pam

11:05 am

momof3boys

when you use lickety..how do you know which letter they are referring...i.e....they say se.. two words ... how do i know which se they are referring..the top set, or the bottom

11:05 am

Atalante

you dont :)

11:06 am

sherb

you don't mom...

11:06 am

momof3boys

aaahhh...the fine print...

11:06 am

momof3boys

ty...knew there was a catch!

11:08 am

Atalante

always ;)

11:08 am

hurshy

well, if you are talking between people who are using lickety's thing WITH BOXES, then, it automatically puts them in the right place for you, as i understand it. so, people who are both doing that, could know more and operate on that basis.

11:09 am

Atalante

does it find the words for you too??

11:09 am

hurshy

i have no opinion.

11:09 am

momof3boys

hursh...you need to be pro to see the tiles under the grid, right?? i think that is what you mean.. using them in addition to the list

11:09 am

sherb

and type them in?

11:09 am

hurshy

well the tiles on the grid are hardly necessary if you are using the boxes...

11:10 am

hurshy

i mean lickety's has two versions, the one where you put them in boxes, and the printable one.

11:10 am

momof3boys

so, if you have a word in the my word list, and forget to type it in lickety's list, you don't get "credit" for it, right...it still shows as if you are missing it....is that right?

11:10 am

hurshy

um, all that matters for credit for rankings is getting them in here. lickety's is irrelevant.

11:11 am

momof3boys

hhmmm...i have to check and see what you mean hursh..this is the first time i am using lick..and quite frankly, it intimidates me! lol

11:11 am

Atalante

dont use it then :P

11:11 am

hurshy

they are separate, if that's what you mean. entering it in one place does not enter it in the other.

11:11 am

hurshy

i have no opinion.

11:11 am

momof3boys

want to give it a fair try alt..everyone is always saying to use it...

11:12 am

sherb

I can't see the point of entering words in lickety... you just have to enter them again in Babble...

11:12 am

hurshy

and by "everyone" you mean the people who can state their opinion without fear of offending anyone.

11:12 am

hurshy

not that i have an opinion anyway.

11:12 am

Atalante

lol :) loads of people simply adore it

11:12 am

momof3boys

i am finding it useful to show what i need and what i have left..but i don't know if i am using it to it's full advantage

11:12 am

Atalante

i kinda agree with you sherb!

11:13 am

grammaterri1

I don't like rework ( :

11:13 am

grammaterri1

use licketys just to get a hint of what I need

11:13 am

hurshy

i have no opinion.

11:13 am

momof3boys

i agree with that too sherb...that is why i am trying to make sure i am using it right..can't see what the big draw is..

11:13 am

momof3boys

hursh...KNOCK IT OFF!!! lol you know you have an opinion and aren't afraid to state it, and that is why we love you!

11:13 am

Atalante

some people use it so they can play without having a bad score affecting their rankings

11:13 am

grammaterri1

which I have to do now cuz I am stuck with 20 left

11:14 am

sherb

lots of people just use it to see the list and work out which words they're missing... I find it really useful when I'm down to my last few words...

11:14 am

hurshy

*cough*

11:14 am

momof3boys

i don't care about the ranking.

11:14 am

momof3boys

11:14 am

Atalante

hurshy has no opinion. really.

11:14 am

Atalante

nor me

11:14 am

I wish I didn't care about the ranking...

11:14 am

grammaterri1

lol ya'll

11:15 am

momof3boys

11:36 am

Haz1558

I don't think I would trust a carpenter who didn't have his own tools....

11:37 am

sherb

it means that you have to supply whatever is needed...

11:37 am

hurshy

yes but i want to be prepared

11:37 am

prismmgc2

Now let's say they're actually advertising for The Carpenters. I'd guess you'd have to be able to sing & play guitar if you're filling in for Karen

11:37 am

prismmgc2

I mean play drums

11:37 am

hurshy

i might apply to do some work you see, and i want to know if i need a power sander

11:38 am

hurshy

i suppose they want someone with actual experience anyway, more than just misc projects around the house.

11:38 am

hurshy

karen carpenter is my dad's favorite singer of all time

11:38 am

sherb

there must be a market for female carpenters...

11:38 am

Haz1558

The main thing you need is the ability to look doubtful, able to do sharp intakes of breath, and able to say 'This is going to cost you'.

11:38 am

featherbee

i'm missing a V word. i have 3 that have to do with saying yay or nay

11:39 am

prismmgc2

Oh and scratch your head alot. Shake it & roll your eyes. More eye rolling means more money

11:39 am

featherbee

lol

11:39 am

sherb

lots of women don't like dealing with male builders...

11:39 am

hurshy

i wish i could DECIDE already! what i want to do, i mean. should i go the manual labor route, office work, something else, WHAT SHOULD I DO?? i just wish i could do a little of everything, it would be so much more fun that way.

11:39 am

prismmgc2

Feather.. think what the pres does to a bill he doesnt like

11:39 am

featherbee

yeah, that's the "nay" one

11:40 am

prismmgc2

oh yeah

11:40 am

hurshy

in the oz books there was the valley of v** (pl it)

11:40 am

prismmgc2

take the 5/16 v & remove the middle letter

11:40 am

Haz1558

feather vo4/5 - remove a consonantfrom the vo5/16

11:40 am

hurshy

well it rhymes with fish eggs, anyway, if you don't know oz.

11:40 am

featherbee

ahhh

11:40 am

Atalante

write down your main options, and make a pro and con column for them. write down everything you can think of, and see what comes out the best

11:40 am

sherb

depends what your main motivation is... money? ...flexibility? ...enjoyment?

11:40 am

featherbee

and the word i got before that was the fish egg one! perhaps i should try that pattern on all the ones i'm missing

11:41 am

Haz1558

And Atalante - I see Ireland triumphed after all!

11:41 am

Atalante

yes! it was a wonderful game!

11:41 am

hurshy

money: want to make enough, but don't care about getting rich. flexibility is good. enjoyment is high priority. at the moment, having SOMETHING TO DO is key.

11:41 am

hurshy

i will try ata's pro/con idea.

11:42 am

Haz1558

They'll probably go out in the next round, but it must have been fun.

11:42 am

Atalante

it sometimes does throw out some interesting things when you're really stuck!

11:42 am

Smdnjv

Hi!!

11:43 am

Smdnjv

I like your icon Feather....

11:43 am

Atalante

I'm sure they will, but they've certainly announced their presence to world cricket now

11:43 am

mo

Cinderella seems popular.

11:43 am

featherbee

hee, you too smd!

11:44 am

Smdnjv

Especially if you are a princess!! Hello Mo!

11:44 am

Smdnjv

I see you are a sweet little deer Mo!

11:44 am

sherb

I was still seeing Ghostbusters... just refreshed...

11:44 am

mo

hi SMDN

11:45 am

Smdnjv

I loved Jungle Book!!

11:45 am

billmster

some thing to keep your tools sharp is essential

11:45 am

bogster

hurshy- you might want to try a carpenter's helper or apprentice first

11:45 am

hurshy

right. it would just help so much if i knew what i wanted to do, so that i could do the first steps of it.

11:46 am

sherb

Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP...

11:46 am

Atalante

can you get some voluntary work for the time being? to at least give you something *to do*

11:46 am

featherbee

oh come on now! stupid pf.

11:46 am

bogster

trade or vocational school?

11:47 am

mo

you sing so sweetly sherb :)

11:47 am

sherb

why, thank you mo :)

11:47 am

hurshy

well i'm applying to things, you know. i have thought about asking the maintenance guys here at school if i can help them on a volunteer basis to learn things.

11:48 am

Atalante

I would!

11:48 am

featherbee

E help please? i have the one that sounds like a plural letter, and the one that is E + bug

11:48 am

Smdnjv

Looks like a pussy cat of a grid!! Is it??

11:48 am

hurshy

yep

11:48 am

hurshy

get that word feather, or e***!

11:48 am

featherbee

yes, i'm going listless, and only started asking for help with 9 left

11:48 am

sherb

stop that, or e***!!!

11:48 am

Judi

Afternoon, word wranglers. Hey, Hurshy, volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity if they have them around you. Good way to pick up carpentry details for free while doing good for others.

11:49 am

featherbee

ty sherb

11:49 am

featherbee

and hursh

11:49 am

Smdnjv

left

11:49 am

hurshy

we hain't got that nearby. maintenance at school would work much better.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Could you do a proofreading course?

11:50 am

JFB

I guess the theme today is Disney

11:50 am

Atalante

as long as there is no health and safety issues, i'm sure they would welcome a helping hand

11:50 am

Haz1558

Think of all the lovely errors you could find and correct.

11:50 am

Atalante

or indexing. you'd love indexing

11:50 am

sherb

lol Haz

11:50 am

featherbee

missing a T. i have 3 te words, 3 ti, 3 to, and 2 tr.

11:51 am

hurshy

oh i'm already great at proofreading.

11:51 am

hurshy

what's indexing? you mean like filing?

11:51 am

ExWren

Hello everyone. Looked in earlier this morning, and found a few words, looks fairly easy. Just come back for another go, still have 52 to find

11:51 am

Atalante

making indexes up for books

11:51 am

sherb

same as me feather...

11:51 am

mo

JFB ... Yes your favourite Disney character.

11:51 am

featherbee

lol sherb, ah well

11:51 am

hurshy

hmm, no, that sounds dull

11:51 am

Atalante

its a very fiddly, very interesting career

11:52 am

Haz1558

There are professional proofreaders -they need to use a certain 'language' and symbols to indicate mistakes, but there's bound to be a way of doing something like that.

11:52 am

hurshy

see this is the trouble. proofreading is fun, occasionally. lots of things are fun, occasionally. but ALL THE TIME??? i don't know what is fun enough to do full time.

11:52 am

featherbee

got the last one sherb, means group of 3

11:53 am

Haz1558

Nothing is fun all the time, hurshy. That's life.

11:53 am

Atalante

unfortunately one's job isn't always *fun*

11:53 am

sherb

thanks feather :)

11:53 am

featherbee

down to 4 left, 2 Ps and 2 Cs. i'm guessing they're single/plural pairs.

11:53 am

hurshy

i wish i could do a little of a lot of things. i hate specialization.

11:53 am

sherb

fun all the time? ...

11:54 am

mollypolly6

try teaching - that's a little of a lot of things and it IS fun all the time!!!

11:54 am

hurshy

i'm good at a lot of things, and i want to utilize all those things

11:54 am

Haz1558

But you can't so you're going to have to decide on something.

11:54 am

hurshy

lol molly

11:54 am

featherbee

what about working for a temp agency?

11:54 am

Judi

Reality, Hursh. Reality. It bites. Luckily, most jobs only last 8 hours a day. That gives you 18 hours remaining to do a variety of fun things.

11:54 am

hurshy

oh haz, you are so very practical.

11:54 am

Haz1558

I know - I'm sickening.

11:54 am

sherb

you need a general management job... they usually involve variety...

11:55 am

hurshy

i've registered with one, feather. and i've applied for a variety of things, so i'm just going to see what happens.

11:55 am

featherbee

cool

11:55 am

hurshy

i dunno, telling people what to do could be v. hard.

11:55 am

sherb

Judi - do you know something we don't?

11:56 am

Atalante

most things you get paid for are hard!

11:56 am

Judi

No! Telling people what to do is great! It beats having them tell you what to do. Tis better to crack the whip than receive the sting.

11:56 am

sherb

I love telling people what to do!

11:56 am

hurshy

i also need to wait a couple of weeks to find out a key fact that may influence which direction (geographically) i am interested in going.

11:56 am

Smdnjv

Hurshey...if you will allow me my two cents worth..I love being a mother....I love being a grandmother...but there have been times when I have found it difficult in those roles. But as with everything, it is a one day at a time.....

11:57 am

Judi

And I meant 16 hours remaining after the working eight.

11:57 am

hurshy

i don't like telling people what to do at all... i'm very non-hierarchical. i don't like taking orders OR giving them.

11:57 am

sherb

;)

11:57 am

featherbee

ok, i have 4 ci, 3 cl and 4 cu. any clue what i may be missing?

11:57 am

hurshy

well SMD, i am afraid i don't like small children, and even if i was interested in having kids, i'm working on leaving my husband, you know, so i def don't want to have them with him...

11:57 am

sherb

ok, so a corporate-type job probably isn't for you...

11:58 am

LuwandaHL

plural the cu5

11:58 am

hurshy

no, i hate corporate. they take themselves too seriously.

11:58 am

sherb

6 x cu

11:58 am

featherbee

ok, thanks

11:58 am

featherbee

already have that one luwanda. going to monkey a bit more.

11:58 am

LuwandaHL

march 21 is on the cu**

11:58 am

Haz1558

There's a cu5/14 at the start of the series.

11:58 am

sherb

yep, that's me... very serious...

11:59 am

featherbee

got one

11:59 am

hurshy

the site brabble sent me to, that tries to help you figure out career issues, says that a majority of available jobs in the marketplace at any given time are not advertised. so how the heck do i find them???

11:59 am

sherb

word of mouth...

11:59 am

Smdnjv

no Hurshey...that was not my point...everything in life is not fun all the time......I just used motherhood as an example. I would never encourage anyone to have children or not to have children....that is personal...

11:59 am

Atalante

ask

11:59 am

Haz1558

Networking.

11:59 am

LuwandaHL

cu 5 - i won't *** my cat on the table

11:59 am

hurshy

well i don't mean everyone sherb :) but like, when i was in boston, i walked by this cafe and there were all these people in suits on laptops and cellphones, being all busy, and it was icky

11:59 am

sherb

ask friends, family, Babblers, anybody...

12:00 pm

hurshy

this is my other problem, i don't know anybody. that is part of why i want a job, so i will know some people.

12:00 pm

Judi

Monster.com, various other online job posting sites. Community bulletin boards.

12:00 pm

featherbee

that was it luwanda, ty

12:00 pm

hurshy

i have been looking online, tons.

12:00 pm

hurshy

i need local friends, and i just haven't got them. pllt.

12:00 pm

LuwandaHL

how about the g's

12:01 pm

featherbee

one is aladdin's pal

12:01 pm

jbp

hursh, I've had good luck with america's job board... ajb.com or net or org

12:01 pm

jbp

i forget which one

12:01 pm

Haz1558

You're being too judgemental on the one hand, and too woolly on the other.

12:01 pm

featherbee

the other two start with the same first 3 letters

12:01 pm

hurshy

oh, of course SMD, i see. yes, i don't mean i expect something to be fun all the time. it's more, how does anybody cope with doing just one thing so much of the time?

12:01 pm

hurshy

thanks jbp, will check it out.

12:01 pm

hurshy

explain please, haz.

12:01 pm

featherbee

you pick something that has built in variety

12:01 pm

hurshy

+00.

12:02 pm

featherbee

like for me, teaching...each year is a different class, different kids

12:02 pm

hurshy

oops, dropped keyboard.

12:02 pm

ch1212

hi hurshy -- one great job resource is to look through the yellow pages and make a list of the places that seem like a good fit for your skills, and are also places you would feel comfy in (for example, non-profit vs. profit, private school vs. public). Then call up and ask for an informational interview - explain you are only exploring career opps in their field, not specific ones at their place. That opens doors like you wouldn't believe!

12:02 pm

hurshy

ok, what has built in variety.

12:02 pm

hurshy

they did recommend that on that website too, ch... maybe i will try that.

12:02 pm

sherb

hurshy - it's the people you work with that make a job fun, not what you do...

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Right, the judgemental bit is looking at people in Boston and deciding 'that's not for me' - just on the basis of what you perceive their lives to be like. The woolly bit is that you don't know what you want, only what you think you don't want. Time to make decisions.

12:03 pm

jbp

you might also want to find a life coach... i know it sounds hokey and new-agey, but a friend of mine used one, and it was a very good wxperience

12:03 pm

featherbee

and perhaps some things have more variety within them than is apparent at first. not coming up with any good examples right now though

12:03 pm

hurshy

oh haz, i wish i were like you!

12:03 pm

featherbee

off to search for my last to Ps

12:03 pm

featherbee

two*

12:04 pm

Haz1558

So many people say that.......!!!!

12:04 pm

hurshy

i'm such a doofus.

12:04 pm

Judi

Along with a life coach, you might want to look up a career counselor. You might find someone at a local college or university. The temp agency might be able to point you to someone in that field.

12:04 pm

sherb

oh haz, i wish i were like you!

12:04 pm

featherbee

done!!!!!

12:04 pm

jbp

i was out of work for 22 months (not that I was counting) between careers and I have found ways in my current Dilbert incarnation to learn new stuff and i dig that

12:04 pm

jbp

i don't deal well with being bored

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Hello, folks.

12:05 pm

jbp

yea, Feather!!

12:05 pm

jbp

hi Vic

12:05 pm

Haz1558

I tend to take decisions quickly, act on them and am happy with them. My sister-in-law agonises between the practicalities of what she needs to do and the feelings she has. Result is paralysis.

12:05 pm

Atalante

hi Vi! yay Feather!

12:05 pm

ch1212

An approach that helped me when I first arrived was to say, I'll explore different doors with an attitude of 1) NOT accepting the first offer and 2) NOT thinking that whatever job I land is the one I have to keep -- in other words, I won't commit to a job for years, but give myself permission to look for something else if I decide the first isn't what I wanted.

12:05 pm

LuwandaHL

ge5/14?

12:05 pm

Vicuna

Hursh, did I understand you to say you decided not to move to Boston because you saw some boring folks in business suits?

12:05 pm

jbp

i hate being paralyzed also

12:06 pm

featherbee

hurshy, have you tried any of those online career tests?

http://www.questcareer.com/car
eer_assessment_resources.html

12:06 pm

jbp

also, not being able to find words in the grid, I hate.

12:06 pm

sherb

hi Vi :)

12:06 pm

Haz1558

ge5/14 - ge plus the start of the Christmas saint

12:06 pm

hurshy

well no vi, i mean, um, it was that i was just overwhelmed with doing everything at once - marital separation, moving, trying to start working full time...

12:06 pm

hurshy

yes, i've been taking career tests galore.

12:06 pm

LuwandaHL

ty that's ge5/16

12:07 pm

ch1212

haz, I have that one but it shows as ge5/16 on my score. ?

12:07 pm

jbp

but I digress, hursh. No decision you make, barring complete lunacy like doing hard drugs or voting Republican, is a bad one

12:07 pm

Haz1558

So it is, change the last consonant for a vowel. (sorry!)

12:07 pm

LuwandaHL

ty

12:08 pm

ch1212

great point, jbp -- I got trapped once into thinking that every decision I made HAD to be 'right', instead of giving myself permission to just 'explore' different paths, and change paths when I decided.

12:08 pm

hurshy

i know that i love solving problems, of all sorts - mechanical, mathematical, etc. i like to be creative. i don't want to work more than forty hours a week at a job, period, so i can't do what all my friends did and be a doctor or lawyer or consultant. and i don't love anything enough to bother getting a PhD in it.

12:08 pm

hurshy

voting republican: what if it's mccain?

12:08 pm

ch1212

thanks, haz - I needed that one and didn't know it!

12:08 pm

Vicuna

But, honey, you are getting yourself into a circular argument. You can't move until you have friends, and you can't get friends until you have a job, and you can't find a job because you haven't moved?

12:08 pm

Atalante

getting a PhD is a bit harder than that :P

12:09 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome ch1212.

12:09 pm

jbp

I was loving the college teaching, but not all the bs that went with it... the 40/week gig is great in comparison

12:09 pm

featherbee

sounds like some sort of trade job might be good then...like you were saying at the beginning, carpentry

12:09 pm

hurshy

no no vi. i WILL get a job, by hook or by crook, despite that i don't know people.

12:09 pm

sherb

I would love to work a 40 hour week...

12:09 pm

hurshy

it would just help if i knew what kind of job i wanted to get.

12:09 pm

Vicuna

That's the spirit!
I totally understand the interest in a little bit of everything. I am the same way.

12:09 pm

hurshy

i'm sorry, i'm being horribly difficult.

12:10 pm

ch1212

hurshy it sounds like you would make a great substitute teacher while you're looking for something with more stability. Subs are always needed, especially mathmatical ones. ANd no , you're not being difficult -- you're just going through a difficult time. ((( hugs )))

12:10 pm

featherbee

imagine if you went into a contracting business....lots of math and problem solving, lots of creativity

12:10 pm

jbp

i live in a pretty depressed area of the northeast, and GE is the game in town here, unless you work for the State. I've round granite.com really useful in finding gigs. Their recruiters are generally really good.

12:10 pm

sherb

no, you're not... you're just chatting with friends...

12:10 pm

hurshy

i might like to be an all-round handy-girl, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, locksmithing...

12:10 pm

Vicuna

You're only be ing horribly difficult to yourself, you know, poor cherub!

12:10 pm

featherbee

yes, that's what i'm thinking hursh

12:10 pm

Haz1558

You don't have to stay in any one job for life, unless you really love it. Why not just get a job, get some experience and work on that.

12:11 pm

hurshy

i'm still doing my math tutoring, ch.

12:11 pm

featherbee

look up local contactors, see if you can get a foot in the door there. after you have experience, see about starting your own business, or just stay with them

12:11 pm

hurshy

the one thing i probably won't want to do is have my own business, i'm not entrepreneurial at all... unless it just happens, or i find a partner with a business spirit.

12:11 pm

jbp

you're not being difficult,Hursh,. You're processing a lot of different information, using the synergy of our Babble group to generate a series of options to... not so much with the corporate speak am I

12:11 pm

sherb

that sounds like a plan hurshy... now, you could work for someone else, or set up on your own...

12:12 pm

KristineNas

can i have help with the 2nd and 4th i please

12:12 pm

KristineNas

i have hotels and bugs

12:12 pm

Haz1558

in6/21 and in7/32 - encourage, especially in a negative sense.

12:12 pm

hurshy

one job i applied for involves going around to people and evaluating them for family court, making recs to the court about visitation rights, custody, etc. do you think i'd be good at that?

12:12 pm

sherb

in6/7 - provoke(s)

12:13 pm

KristineNas

ty i caught it as u answered

12:13 pm

Haz1558

It depends - could you be dispassionate about difficult situations?

12:13 pm

jbp

i think you'd be fine at that Hursh... and until you try it , you won't know if you like it.

12:13 pm

sherb

do you think you would enjoy it?

12:13 pm

Atalante

do *you* think you'd be good at that?

12:14 pm

hurshy

i THINK i could be dispassionate about people. if it were animals, no. lol.

12:14 pm

Vicuna

I think you could be very good at that... But I know I would find it much too depressing. Would it bother you that way?

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Maybe you could look for work at an animal shelter?

12:14 pm

hurshy

i couldn't bear to say who should get the dog or the cat - but the kids - eh.

12:15 pm

hurshy

see now THAT would be depressing, vi. i'd want to take them all home, and i couldn't...

12:15 pm

Vicuna

lol. But you know, "eh" may not be the right attitude either!

12:15 pm

ch1212

hurshy that specific job is one I'm familar with. Creative, and rule-oriented is important, but a good grasp of family dynamics and knowledge of local resources is key, along with the ability to coordinate with other members of the eval team. Usually probation, schools, FST, DSS, and other service providers are included.

12:15 pm

hurshy

well, i mean it isn't like i wouldn't CARE at all. it just wouldn't be as heart-wrenching as it would for many people.

12:16 pm

hurshy

well the job i applied for has the word "trainee" in it so i'm assuming they... train you.

12:16 pm

ch1212

Unless it's just divorce court, in which case it's sometimes just the one position.

12:16 pm

hurshy

i don't know what it is exactly, if they contact me i suppose i will find out more.

12:16 pm

Haz1558

That would be a good assumption - if you get the job, go for it, try it. There'll probably be a trial period on both sides.

12:17 pm

hurshy

yes, that is what i'm figuring, haz. that is why i am applying for a variety of things. what will be, will be.

12:18 pm

sherb

points total please?

12:18 pm

Vicuna

Also, remember what someone said earlier: often your enjoyment of and fit in a job have more to do with the people you work with than the actual position or the field you're in. So you're approach to apply for all sorts of things is smart.

12:18 pm

hurshy

1187

12:18 pm

Haz1558

That could be a good theme for a song. I wonder if anybody has written one?

12:18 pm

ch1212

Hurshy, you could put in the job title into O'Net Online -- it's chock full of info about any type of job. www.online.onetcenter.org

12:18 pm

hurshy

oh good, i've actually done something smart!

12:18 pm

Vicuna

*your approch*

12:18 pm

hurshy

lol haz

Aargh! YOUR APPROACH!

12:19 pm

sherb

no need to shout, Vi...

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Well, at least you didn't type you're approach.....

12:19 pm

hurshy

LOL. i'm working on my pro-con list and every job has in the con column "could get boring".

12:19 pm

Vicuna

Haz, it'll sound better in Italian. Trust me on this!

12:19 pm

Haz1558

You think so, Vicuna?

12:20 pm

Atalante

all jobs can get boring

12:20 pm

hurshy

i also applied for a secretarial job at west point. i visited there once and it's fascinating. DEF would not want to be in the military myself, but being a civilian employee could be cool. though i would have to think about whether that works, with my opposition to the war...

12:20 pm

Vicuna

I dunno, sherb. I figured by the third attempt I was entitled to shout. But I didn't realize I was so close to your ear. Sorry!

12:20 pm

hurshy

and it's real pretty, with the river.

12:20 pm

ch1212

that's okay if it has 'boring' in the list because again, you don't have to decide on a lifelong job right now. In fact, right now may be a terrible time to make a decision like that. Maybe it's okay to make a decision of, "this job looks interesting enough that I'll commit for one year, then reevaluate."

12:20 pm

Vicuna

All jobs are boring sometimes.

12:21 pm

hurshy

yes, one year is do-able.

12:21 pm

jbp

and i can be neat to see what you learn from the boredome.

12:21 pm

hurshy

assuming ANYBODY will hire me for anything!! and if they won't, i'll volunteer with the maintenance guys until i have experience enough to get hired doing that stuff.

12:21 pm

jbp

think of it as being a foreign exchange student for a year. try it pit amd see

12:21 pm

Vicuna

When my kids complain they're bored, I tell them that's a problem they have to solve.

12:22 pm

featherbee

i wonder if some of the difficulty is not only trying to find something that will be a good fit, but trying to deal with all those other HUGE life changing events that are going on with you right now. if i were you, i'd be tired of making any more big decisions!

12:22 pm

Haz1558

A teacher friend was commenting on how many of his students are wanting to do forensic work. All on the basis of CSI making it look so glamorous, whereas the reality is probably completely different and yes, boring.

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Of course, they're four, so they just give me a look and keep on whining...

12:22 pm

sherb

hurshy - you're obsessing too much about what you'll be doing... try to think about the people you'll be with... they can make any job fun...

12:22 pm

ch1212

And dear hurshy, a huge gift would be accepting a job that won't overwhelm you while you spend the first year recovering your equilibrium from this huge change. So maybe a job that you could do blindfolded gives you a 'rest' in order to be gentle with yourself for awhile... just a thought.

12:22 pm

hurshy

yes feather, what's hard is that... i'm hoping to get to a point where i can support myself in not too long, so that i can move out.

12:22 pm

Haz1558

And if you do decide to go into CSI - they're all awfully good looking, but I don't know whether you've to supply your own torch or not.

12:23 pm

jbp

great point CH

12:23 pm

hurshy

all good points. :)

12:23 pm

Vicuna

I always wanted to be a detective. Except that then I'd have to associate with scary people.

12:23 pm

sherb

lol Haz :)

12:24 pm

hurshy

actually, this is a lot more fun this way, staying here for now i'm able to look around at more types of jobs and take my time about this a little more. if i'd gone ahead and gone to boston, i'd stick to just looking at office jobs just cause i know i could do it and i'd be even MORE eager to start earning some cash.

12:24 pm

Hi everyone!

12:27 pm

hurshy

i figure i'll get a job that is a long commute, and then move closer to it, and then get a new job that is a long commute, and then move closer to it, and eventually i'll wind up near boston. lol.

12:27 pm

Haz1558

Oh, another babbler ready to be bossed about by the rest of us!

It was icy, and sleety yesterday and I went to dig out my car. It was blocked by a ton of ice (well maybe not a ton, but a lot) a young man asked if I needed help and I said yes. He dug me out first and then his own car. Turns out he is my upstairs neighbor. What a nice person

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

KristineNas

ok little bug hmmmmmmmm

12:29 pm

Vicuna

Luckily, you can be promiscuous with jobs!

12:30 pm

featherbee

RUGS DON'T THRILL. THEY KILL.

12:33 pm

LuwandaHL

cch1212, he's probably thinking that you're such a thoughful person

For unexpected death ' I was not there to see you die, to hold your hand and say goodbye, but I will remember my whole life through, the last few words I had with you.'

12:40 pm

i dunno, we've got a tiny museum i think...

12:40 pm

jbp

near Stanford?

12:40 pm

ch1212

It's fun to be open to new things, though. I walked into a radio station once to ask if they had an opening for a janitor or secretary. I wound up being hired to read news, then 10 years later I was hosting the morning show live. Then I applied for a job as a job search consultant (with no experience, again) and was hired for that! Loved it for 4 years. Then became a Project Director for a young offender program. (Again, no experience). And I have no formal education beyond the usual. So I'm just saying this as example of being open to risking and failing. I've had a blast and been lucky enough to be fairly successful. I suspect you would be too, Hurshy.

12:41 pm

ch1212

oops, sorry - didn't realize I wrote a book there. Brevity, they name is NOT ch1212! :D

12:41 pm

How far are you from Mystic?

quite far from mystic. unfortunately. i love mystic.

12:42 pm

i hope i get lucky like that ch - at least as far as getting hired goes.

12:42 pm

ch1212 you have been quite lucky in the search for jobs

12:42 pm

ah, ok. is there a fair amount of land development going on by you?

12:42 pm

ch1212

We just discovered Mystic Pizza - it's not out West.

12:42 pm

hurshy

LOL there is a store called "Lox Stock and Bagels"

12:42 pm

hurshy

i don't know jbp. there doesn't appear to be much of anything going on...

12:43 pm

periwinkle

ch1212 was the job search consultant position at the radio station

12:43 pm

jbp

bc you could be a great resource for either the developpers or for the environmental impact follks. you're articulate and can think on your feet

12:43 pm

hurshy

i'd work in a bakery except you have to go in SO EARLY.

12:43 pm

hurshy

maybe i could do that anyway.

12:43 pm

periwinkle

there are two TV stations around the corner from me

12:43 pm

jbp

there was a Lox stock and bagels in Champaign when I lived there

12:43 pm

ooh, hot air balloon rides. that would be fun. but only seasonal, i spose.

12:44 pm

you also get out early in a bakery, right?>

Oh, you are past the A's and into the B's

12:44 pm

12:44 pm

KristineNas

12:44 pm

ch1212

no, peri -- the job search consultant was actually for a contractor who worked with low income families to help them access education and jobs to break the cycle of welfare.

12:45 pm

periwinkle

I worked briefly in an ad agency years ago and did not like it for that reason

12:45 pm

periwinkle

okay, ch1212, I liked the title- job search coordinatior

12:45 pm

ch1212

In radio I wrote ad copy, produced commercials, worked an on-air shift, wrote news stories, and coordinated events like home and garden show and live remote broadcasts.

12:45 pm

i could work in a bank, but it would probably be very dull.

1:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

has anyone tried burt's bees products? i got a sampler and was very disappointed. someone told me their tinted sunscreen is good

1:17 pm

Scrabbler

Hmmm....what service could you provide that is needed? Pet sitting? With math tutoring on the side?

1:18 pm

hurshy

seen, but not tried, TO - sounds stingy

1:18 pm

stidmama

I have used some of the burt's bees things and they work well enough. I am allergic to most things that have lots of chemicals though so I don't have a comparison to the commoner products.

1:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

no they are just....waxy.

1:19 pm

stidmama

I hav e9 RI and 6 RO -- what am I missing please?

1:19 pm

EspritdJean

I want to try stella mccartney's new line of products

1:19 pm

Scrabbler

Beeswax

1:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

th and lotion is awful

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

does absolutely nothing

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

You have 3 more ri's than I have found, Stid, and I have 6 ro's

1:21 pm

stidmama

thanks Scrabbler, so looking for at least another RO!

1:21 pm

Atalante

10 x ri

1:21 pm

Atalante

I mean 12!

1:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok scrabs i get th epoint but i mean really waxy....vaseline does the same thing much more cost effectively

1:22 pm

hurshy

going through the yellow pages is fun

1:22 pm

hurshy

i found out there is a tennis and swim club

1:22 pm

Scrabbler

I like Aveeno--oatmeal based products

1:22 pm

hurshy

and a literary agent, if i ever get around to writing a book

1:22 pm

stidmama

got another RO so another Three RI... thanks Atalante

1:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

hurshy, are you anywhere near where you went to school? you can still use their career services

1:23 pm

stidmama

can even use their career center if you are not near them!

1:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love the bar complexion soap

1:23 pm

hurshy

i'm about 2 hours away.

1:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

check that out.

1:23 pm

hurshy

the trouble is, i dunno if my college has career services for things that don't involve consulting, i-banking, or advanced degrees.

1:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

email them

1:24 pm

hurshy

why aren't undertakers in the yellow pages?

1:24 pm

Scrabbler

3 ri's to go still......arrrrggghhh

1:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have how to write a skills based resume i preseum - every career center does

1:24 pm

EspritdJean

look under funeral homes

1:24 pm

stidmama

funeral homes, hurshy -- no longer a separate listing in most places

1:24 pm

Scrabbler

They are probably listed as funeral directors

1:24 pm

hurshy

ah

1:27 pm

hurshy

what does it say about me that i'd rather plan funerals than weddings?

1:27 pm

hurshy

i mean there are lots of other things i'd rather do than either. but given those two choices...

1:27 pm

stidmama

I have two left now Scrabbler: RI 5/6 combo poison; ri 4/7 to be full of something; ri 4/10 a musical passage, then the 6 is a water disturbance in a stream, the seven is plural, then plural the musical passage; then an unruly crowd; then a holy ceremony and it's plural... (guess I only miss one actually)

1:27 pm

Scrabbler

Hursh, have you ever looked at "What Color is Your Parachute?"

1:27 pm

hurshy

no but i've tried lots of career tests.

1:28 pm

stidmama

oh -- I forgot the chasm word, RI 4/7 like the great RI** valley in africa where Lucy was found

1:28 pm

hurshy

what i know about myself... is that i like lots of different things a little bit, but i don't like anything a LOT.

1:28 pm

hurshy

oh well. :)

1:28 pm

Scrabbler

I had forgotten the plural of religious ceremony--so I am done with the R's

1:28 pm

stidmama

I think you are a good writer hurshy, and good at analyzing situations. I suspect you appreciate art and ideas... what about working at a library or museum?

1:29 pm

Scrabbler

1:49 pm

Cathyar

ALL mom's are heroes!!!

1:49 pm

momof3boys

that and wet oatmeal kisses LOL

1:49 pm

stidmama

now a word of advice: stidkid#1 (who doesn't feel pain as intensely as most people) once had a small cut on a heel that got badly infected. Because normally covered by sock and shoe we didn't notice until he spiked a fever and had a red streak up his leg. Not to worry you, just check that sucker every so often for a while!

1:50 pm

Cathyar

oooh...emergency tetanus shot?

1:50 pm

momof3boys

sounds like mine stid...my ex popped a q-tip through his eardrum, and we only knew because we saw blood on the towel

1:50 pm

Scrabbler

cathy, not for piece of glass

1:50 pm

jillibus

stid -- I have to leave now for lunch with a group containing Hetty

1:50 pm

stidmama

ER visit, IV fluids and antibiotics and then home with a ten-day course of something powerful

1:50 pm

stidmama

please give hetty a hug from me! enjoy the birthday luncheon!

1:51 pm

LeslieAnn

say hello to hetty for all of us, jilli!

1:51 pm

momof3boys

scrab..i needed a tetanus shot for a cut with a piece of glass...

1:51 pm

Cathyar

i'll be checking for sure. when i was a kid i stepped on a rusty nail...was taken in for a shot, "just in case".

1:51 pm

Scrabbler

Stid---I see that in the office, usually a boy that doesn't note an injury---gets a cellulitis

1:51 pm

jillibus

will do, stid -- and again, did you get the cu clue at 1:47?

1:51 pm

stidmama

yes jill, thanks! *kisses Jill*

1:52 pm

1:52 pm

MonkeyMind

what do you need, stid?

1:52 pm

Cathyar

he's fine i'm sure...he's just now heading out to take buster for a walk!

1:52 pm

momof3boys

steph..what ones are you missing?

1:52 pm

EspritdJean

cellulitis is a dangerous infection that can turn into osteomyelitis

1:52 pm

Scrabbler

cellulitis = tissue infection (redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness), and red-streak = lymphangitis

1:52 pm

stidmama

cellulitis is when the tissue is no longer confined to an identifiable location, it's sort of within all the muscles and stuff. The whole area gets hard and swollen but doesn't come to a head to drain

1:53 pm

stidmama

Another L and three P

1:53 pm

Cathyar

ewww...sounds awful

1:53 pm

1:54 pm

3:28 pm

Haz1558

So, torgone, how are you?

3:30 pm

hurshy

oh, it's a tor, on a sunday

3:30 pm

hurshy

i just emailed you.

3:30 pm

Haz1558

But he's not talking....

3:31 pm

hurshy

*blows on tor's ear*

3:31 pm

hurshy

*plays footsie under the babble table*

3:32 pm

Haz1558

I'm pretending not to care.

3:32 pm

hurshy

oh, did you want to fight over him some more?

3:32 pm

hurshy

i'm just trying to get him to talk...

3:32 pm

hurshy

then again, i spose that is not a good way to get a guy to TALK.

3:32 pm

Haz1558

No, I know when to give in.

3:33 pm

Haz1558

There's no competing with NANCY.

3:33 pm

hurshy

hmph.

3:33 pm

hurshy

so, are we the only ones here? and we're finished?

3:34 pm

Haz1558

I don't think we're the only ones here.

3:34 pm

hurshy

we appear to be.

3:34 pm

hurshy

hellooooo out there in babbleland (echo reverberates)

3:34 pm

Atalante

oooooooo Haz!

3:34 pm

hurshy

there's ata!

3:35 pm

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

3:35 pm

hurshy

is it redundant to say that an echo reverberates?

3:35 pm

Haz1558

Not redundant exactly. You just couldn't say 'the echo' and leave it at that.

3:36 pm

hurshy

yeah, it was quite a pickle, deciding how to word that

3:36 pm

Atalante

haz! strange thing - Pakistan's cricket coach died this morning ...

3:36 pm

inge

I am sort of here, doing other stuff, but monitoring the chat

3:36 pm

Haz1558

Phone....

3:36 pm

hurshy

oh my

3:37 pm

hurshy

ata, i bought myself that pressie i'd been wanting. bought it yesterday.

3:37 pm

Atalante

:):):)

3:37 pm

Haz1558

Atalante - that's awful!

3:38 pm

Atalante

the Ireland players must feel awful! they dont know how he died yet, probably heart attack

3:38 pm

hurshy

so losing to ireland was such a shock it killed him?

3:39 pm

Atalante

it seems something along those lines. ish. maybe.

3:39 pm

Haz1558

Goodness, what an awful thing to happen - it'll spoil the victory celebrations for sure.

3:39 pm

Atalante

yeah :(:(:(:(

3:39 pm

hurshy

it's very... literary though

3:40 pm

Atalante

the match will certainly not be forgotten!

3:40 pm

hurshy

speaking of which, i have an idea for a novel - or at least novella

3:41 pm

Atalante

ooooooo

3:41 pm

hurshy

you know that kid we chaperoned in europe? it would be about him. fascinating character study.

3:42 pm

Atalante

oh interesting

3:42 pm

hurshy

yeah

3:42 pm

hurshy

he's completely amoral, but hides it from most everyone

3:43 pm

hurshy

sort of dorian gray esque, i suppose

3:44 pm

Atalante

cool!

3:44 pm

hurshy

he's so young though... should i just make up how he turns out, or wait and see and then write it.

3:44 pm

hurshy

lol

3:45 pm

hurshy

nothing like a good excuse for procrastination.

3:45 pm

Atalante

make it up, then see how right youwere!

3:45 pm

Haz1558

Maybe that's how torgone began.

3:45 pm

hurshy

LOL haz

3:46 pm

hurshy

i finished anna k, btw. don't know why everyone says it is a sad book.

3:46 pm

hurshy

now i'm reading trollope's "the warden"

3:46 pm

Atalante

*love* that book

3:46 pm

Haz1558

Oh, you are in for a treat if you read the whole Barchester Chronicles series. I love them.

3:46 pm

hurshy

i did seem to recall that you were a trollope fan

3:47 pm

hurshy

yes, i know we have the second one as well.

3:47 pm

Jeff7

fi 5/18 & 6/30 please

3:47 pm

Atalante

me too

3:47 pm

Haz1558

I think he's wonderful - the political novels are excelllent reading as well.

3:47 pm

Atalante

they are wonderful wonderful wonderful books

3:48 pm

hurshy

i'm supplementing it with some non-fiction. right now i'm in "the shia revival" - about inter-islamic conflicts and how they are shaping and will shape the middle east.

3:48 pm

hurshy

fi5/18 like ri5/12

3:48 pm

Haz1558

There's a brilliant adaptation by the BBC starring people like Alan Rickman as Mr Slope, Geraldine McEwan as Mrs Proudie, Susan Hampshire etc etc. Worth searchihg for.

3:48 pm

Vicuna

Hello, again, Regulars.

3:48 pm

hurshy

oh, love alan rickman, of course!

3:49 pm

Jeff7

ty

3:49 pm

hurshy

these new marples with geraldine mcewan, gosh, though, they changed way too much from the books!

3:49 pm

Haz1558

He manages to make you loathe him in this.....

3:49 pm

hurshy

well, he does play a lot of good villians...

3:50 pm

hurshy

vi, so did you see i just said i finished anna k - about a week or two ago... ready to discuss?

3:50 pm

Haz1558

I can't be doing with the new Miss Marple. Joan Hickson was just perfect for the role. Geraldine McEwan is a brilliant actress, but not right for the part.

3:50 pm

hurshy

and they made her have had an affair!! MISS MARPLE!!!

3:50 pm

Vicuna

lol! After reading the "short synopsis" which was about 10 pages long, I remembered why I didn't like it.

3:50 pm

Vicuna

Miss Marple having an affair? That's just stupid.

3:51 pm

Haz1558

Just ridiculous!

3:51 pm

hurshy

there is a woman who is a greeter at our walmart who would make a fabulous miss marple.

3:51 pm

hurshy

I KNOW! they clearly had some agendas. made a lot of things about gay love affairs, too.

3:51 pm

Vicuna

Then don't ever try shoplifting with her around, eh?

3:51 pm

Haz1558

Hurshy, have you ever read the Mapp and Lucia books by E F Benson? They are hilarious and I think you would appreciate the Englishness of them.

3:53 pm

Vicuna

That was made into a TV series, too, wasn't it?

3:53 pm

Haz1558

It was - in the 80's I think - Geraldine McEwan again, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne. But the books are a joy.

3:54 pm

hurshy

i shall endeavor to check out these benson books.

3:54 pm

Vicuna

I'll check those out, then.

3:54 pm

hurshy

are they as funny as wodehouse?

3:54 pm

Haz1558

Wodehouse is in a class of his own, but they make me laugh out loud as well.

3:55 pm

hurshy

vi - i just cannot understand why you don't like anna k. i loved every bit of it. and it is NOT a sad book, it is exactly half sad and half happy.

3:55 pm

hurshy

anna's life goes on a downward trend, but levin's goes on an upward one.

3:56 pm

Vicuna

No, it wasn't the sadness, it was the time spent agonizing!

3:56 pm

hurshy

ah, well, you can see how *i* would identify with that!

3:56 pm

torgone

Did I see someone taking my name in vain (vein? vane?)

3:56 pm

Haz1558

He lives!

3:56 pm

hurshy

no, nobody has been talking about you at all...

3:57 pm

Vicuna

But really what's amazing to me is how forgettable I found it. Usually literature really sticks with me. Poor Tolstoy should be really offended!

3:57 pm

torgone

Oh okay . .I'll go back to washing dishes ..

3:57 pm

hurshy

well i'm offended for him. i think it's one of the best books ever.

3:57 pm

Vicuna

Well, glad you enjoyed it, anyway. It's always a Good Thing to find a book you like.

3:58 pm

hurshy

yes :)

3:58 pm

Haz1558

Have you ever read Madame Bovary? There's a heroine you'd want to slap.

3:58 pm

Vicuna

I just had trouble caring about the characters, I guess. I figured, if they want to spend their time wallowing around, that's fine, but why do I have to spend my time reading about it!

3:58 pm

hurshy

lol

3:59 pm

hurshy

i cared about all of them... had a lot of trouble deciding who i identified with the most!

3:59 pm

Vicuna

lol. Well, I suppose you're with the majority on this one!

3:59 pm

jaa1169

clues! i need clues!!!!!!

3:59 pm

hurshy

ahem. what sort of clues?

4:00 pm

Vicuna

And slapping books doesn't ever give much satisfaction.

4:00 pm

jaa1169

fe 5/16

4:00 pm

hurshy

MAN, i love classic novels. dickens, austen, eliot, bronte, wharton... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about these books' existence.

4:01 pm

hurshy

fe + the babbler with the red icon that we were NOT talking about at all.

4:01 pm

torgone

A bad smell . .

4:01 pm

hurshy

there he is.

4:01 pm

hurshy

tor i sent you email.

4:01 pm

Vicuna

So, torgone, you seem to have really riled these ladies up!

4:01 pm

Haz1558

I also like Wilkie Collins - forerunner of the modern detective novel 'The Moonstone'.

4:02 pm

Vicuna

Oh yes, I liked The Moonstone and the Woman in White.

4:02 pm

mousey

hiya all

4:02 pm

hurshy

oh yes, i've heard about wilkie collins.

4:02 pm

torgone

Speaking of novels . .

4:02 pm

hurshy

as good as agatha christie?

4:02 pm

hurshy

i loved the MOUSEtrap when i saw it this summer...

4:02 pm

hurshy

dorothy sayers is the best, of course.

4:02 pm

Vicuna

Different. Agatha Christie is all about the puzzle. Collins is all about the atmosphere.

4:03 pm

Haz1558

He's really good, lots of plots and counter-plots. And much better written than Agatha.

4:03 pm

hurshy

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me mr. torgone sir.

4:03 pm

Vicuna

YAY DOROTHY SAYERS!

4:03 pm

torgone

I tend to do that just by showing up, vic .. Not sure how . . .

4:03 pm

mousey

MOUSETRAP?!?!

4:03 pm

hurshy

:)

4:03 pm

Haz1558

Another favourite 'detective' writer, combining history and sleuthing is Ellis Peters, with the Brother Cadfael series.

4:03 pm

Vicuna

I guess it's just your powerful charisma, tor. What a burden.

4:03 pm

mousey

eeek!

4:03 pm

hurshy

i love the bit in "have his carcase" about how harriet buys the claret colored frock

4:03 pm

Vicuna

Yes, I liked those, too, Haz.

4:03 pm

torgone

jk hurshy . .one to savor . .

4:04 pm

diem

Hursh mousetrap STILL running?

4:04 pm

hurshy

hmph

4:04 pm

Haz1558

I think she evokes the atmosphere beautifully.

4:04 pm

hurshy

yep, going strong diem

4:04 pm

hurshy

luckily for me

4:04 pm

hurshy

not so lucky for mousey

4:05 pm

hurshy

have noted down these authors :)

4:05 pm

Vicuna

I long to live in a world where people talk like so wittily.

4:05 pm

Haz1558

The Brother Cadfael novels are set in mediaeval Shrewsbury.

4:06 pm

hurshy

it's odd though, vi, wittiness works so much better in books. on TV, it comes across as very fake, so i think it probably would in real life too.

4:06 pm

Vicuna

(See, I'm not even witty enough to say what I meant correctly. Bllgh.)

4:06 pm

Vicuna

Perhaps. In which case, maybe I should become a book.

4:06 pm

hurshy

the few times i saw dawson's creek it drove me NUTS that way - NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT, esp not teenagers, most of whom aren't even supposed to be particularly smart.

4:06 pm

hurshy

ooh, i'll become one with you.

4:07 pm

Vicuna

Oh no you don't... Not if you're going to be like Anna K! lol

4:07 pm

hurshy

you can be the comic relief

4:07 pm

Vicuna

Thanks. I think.

4:08 pm

Vicuna

Let's see, combine Wodehouse and Tolstoy, and what do you get?

4:08 pm

hurshy

something very weird...

4:08 pm

torgone

Tolhouse cookies?

4:08 pm

hurshy

we could become a less intense poirot or lord peter story - one with just theft instead of murder...

4:08 pm

hurshy

ohhhhhh tor

4:09 pm

Vicuna

mmmm.... cookies...

4:09 pm

Haz1558

I tried to get my daughter to read P G Wodehouse, but she couldn't get into it at all. I've obviously failed as a mother.

4:09 pm

Vicuna

Yes, that sounds good, hurshy. I trust neither of us will be forced to be either the culprit or the victim.

4:10 pm

hurshy

don't feel too bad haz. my little sister doesn't like to read AT ALL.

4:10 pm

hurshy

no, we'll be the kids who get all excited about having a REAL MYSTERY in the house.

4:10 pm

Vicuna

Oh, condolences, Haz.

4:11 pm

Haz1558

But that's the thing - she is a voracious reader. She just couldn't transport herself into the world he creates.

4:11 pm

hurshy

well, when i first read a wodehouse, in college, i liked it ok, but didn't totally... get there... and then later i did, so maybe there is still hope.

4:12 pm

Vicuna

Well, I don't exactly read Wodehouse for immersion in that world. It's his narration that's the point of it all.

4:12 pm

hurshy

i just love when he does things like "the b. and e." for bacon and eggs. cracks me up every time.

4:12 pm

Haz1558

Maybe - he just writes so perfectly that you sigh and think 'genius'.

4:13 pm

Vicuna

Yeah. He's full of "I wish I'd thought of that" moments.

4:14 pm

hurshy

i have to try to get hold of the hugh laurie as bertie wooster videos

4:15 pm

Vicuna

Dr Seuss uses "glup" and Carrol uses "toves." Why, oh why, can't Enable?

4:15 pm

Vicuna

Hugh Laurie's very good as Bertie.

4:15 pm

hurshy

i hope the library has them

4:16 pm

hurshy

i'm sure stephen fry makes a good jeeves, only to me, jeeves ought to be thinner.

4:17 pm

hurshy

or shorter or something. i dunno. not so large overall.

4:17 pm

Haz1558

Stephen Fry has the most beautiful speaking voice but he doesn't quite do it for me as Jeeves. It's difficult to top the original novels, of course.

4:17 pm

Vicuna

Yes. He's pretty good, but didn't seem quite right to me, either, somehow.

4:18 pm

hurshy

i felt the same about gilbert in the anne movies. thought he should have had a thinner face.

4:19 pm

Haz1558

Was this the Anne series with Colleen Dewhurst? and Megan somebody in the Anne role?

4:19 pm

hurshy

i was telling the jeweler yesterday about anne thinking diamonds were purple and being disappointed when she saw a real one, and he was like, oh, i haven't read those, and i was like, well, you wouldn't have... they're mostly girl books...

4:19 pm

hurshy

yes haz. colleen dewhurst was very good. :)

4:19 pm

hurshy

and richard farnsworth, such a sweet matthew.

4:20 pm

dicktrickle

i'm missing a p4....how many are there?

4:20 pm

Haz1558

The early ones were good (in the video series) but they messed around with the plot to a terrible degree in later ones. It became almost unrecognisable in the end.

4:20 pm

hurshy

lol

4:20 pm

Vicuna

I watched the beginning of the series, and lost interest as they dragged it on.

4:20 pm

hurshy

if you know you're missing a P4, don't you know how many there are?

4:20 pm

dicktrickle

i mean pe, pl, pu...

4:21 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Matthew was perfect - his death produced the inevitable tears even though I've been mourning him regularly for years.

4:21 pm

hurshy

yes, i quite agree haz. the first one is as faithful as any movie can be, the second mixes elements from at least 3 books, the third is just complete made up hogwash.

4:21 pm

hurshy

you prob want pf4

4:21 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. I mean, not to laugh at sorrow or anything...

4:21 pm

dicktrickle

thanks....and that's what i'm saying right now

4:21 pm

hurshy

i always cry when matthew dies too!

4:22 pm

hurshy

and walter...

4:22 pm

Haz1558

So why did they do it? Why start something so well and then make a pig's ear of the rest of it?

4:22 pm

dicktrickle

done

4:22 pm

Vicuna

I'm a veritable fountain when reading. I ought to put all my books under clear plastic while I'm reading.

4:22 pm

Haz1558

And that dog sitting at the railway station for years.

4:23 pm

Haz1558

Little Women - Beth's death. Sodden pages.

4:23 pm

hurshy

well get this, haz, the prodoucer claimed that they'd set the first movie later than the book was set (um, how exactly did that get indicated???), and therefore, the war came around when anne was younger... go figure.

4:23 pm

Vicuna

They did that with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, too. Started out wonderfully faithful, and then started making stuff up randomly.

4:23 pm

hurshy

they practically turned her into macgyver! it was SO ridiculous.

4:23 pm

Haz1558

He was just making excuses - the beginning was 'timeless'.

4:24 pm

hurshy

rupert everett was a pretty good holmes in that recent one.

4:24 pm

Vicuna

I didn't see that.

4:25 pm

hurshy

he definitely captures the darker side of holmes better than some other holmeses. the cocaine, the ups and downs between boredom and ... HEY

4:25 pm

hurshy

i just realized that house is a lot like holmes. was that intentional?

4:25 pm

torgone

Duh . .

4:26 pm

hurshy

well sorry, some of us are a little slow.

4:26 pm

Haz1558

Have I not heard on the grapevine that House becomes a new person - all cheery and concerned?

4:26 pm

torgone

KIDDING . . .

4:26 pm

hurshy

LOL, i doubt that haz, they've got to know that people watch house cause of the way he is

4:26 pm

Haz1558

Cheery about himself, concerned about his patients, I mean.

4:27 pm

hurshy

oh, KIDDING. *cough*.

4:27 pm

Vicuna

Wait, hurshy, weren't we just discussing how they take shows that start off well, and then mess them up?

4:27 pm

hurshy

well i have noticed no such trend as yet.

4:27 pm

hurshy

yes but those are usually TV movies, not regular TV series.

4:27 pm

Haz1558

But was he not shot or something, thereby precipitating a personality change? I don't watch it so am not aware of all the ins and outs.

4:28 pm

hurshy

although there is that whole "jump the shark" website...

4:28 pm

hurshy

he was shot

4:28 pm

hurshy

but, it did not really change him

4:28 pm

hurshy

in fact, it was so funny, cuddy had the carpet replaced, cause it was stained with blood from his bullet wound, and he demanded that she put it back.

4:28 pm

Haz1558

Okay, I must have misunderstood. I was thinking it would put hurshy right off if he was nice.

4:29 pm

hurshy

he's not not nice, really... he's just honest... like simon cowell...

4:30 pm

hurshy

i wonder if he and cuddy...

4:30 pm

Enomis65

hello babblers, how goes the battle?

4:30 pm

hurshy

i dunno, it's hard for me to picture exactly what type of woman would really go with house.

4:30 pm

Haz1558

I usually agree with Simon Cowell's estimation of artists. Why pander to vanity?

4:32 pm

Haz1558

Enomis, good afternoon!

4:33 pm

hurshy

4:34 pm

periwinkle

Hi everyone, what is the topic of discussion?

4:34 pm

hurshy

i got 2 of them from a shelter, one from a family.

4:34 pm

periwinkle

I got my last two cats from a shelter

4:34 pm

hurshy

we was talking about literature, TV movies, house, and all sorts o' things

4:34 pm

Haz1558

Hello periwinkle - we've been discussing books and film adaptations. And torgone.

4:34 pm

Vicuna

We ranged broadly over literature, peri, then entered television (by way of TV adaptations of literature) and have recently veered into kittens.

4:35 pm

hurshy

with me, it always veers into kittens eventually.

4:35 pm

Haz1558

The kitten conversation will see me reduced to theory only.

4:35 pm

torgone

I got a cat from a farm once . .After shredding and defiling everything in the apartment, he went right back there . .

4:35 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. That's how I was on the House and Simon Cowell segment.

4:35 pm

hurshy

i just like to adapt songs to be about them. we don't have to actually discuss them.

4:36 pm

hurshy

or this line from back to the future part III:

4:36 pm

hurshy

"ever'body, ever'where, will say that Martin Cat is the cutest yella belly in the West"

4:36 pm

Haz1558

The same day, torgone?

4:37 pm

hurshy

ohhhhh the cat came back, the very next day...

4:37 pm

Vicuna

I went through the desert on a cat with no name...

4:38 pm

diem

In America?

4:38 pm

periwinkle

I like Cat Stevens

4:38 pm

hurshy

i love you........... for cinder-mental reasons

4:38 pm

torgone

It took a few days to realize it wasn't going to get along with my stupid ex's stupid dog . .

4:38 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Cat Stevens and Top Cat (or was he Boss Cat in the States?)

4:39 pm

periwinkle

Hasa TO been today, wonder how her back is

4:39 pm

periwinkle

*Has*

4:39 pm

hurshy

she was on earlier

4:39 pm

Haz1558

So, you gave the cat a fighting chance (literally)

4:39 pm

torgone

You're out in the desert . .nothing much to do . . Why not name the cat?

4:39 pm

periwinkle

did she mention that her back was feeling better?

4:39 pm

hurshy

lol

4:40 pm

Vicuna

The way you scratched my chairs
The way you yowled til three
The way you shed those hairs
No, no, they can't take that away from me...

4:40 pm

hurshy

i don't think she mentioned. however, backs are not the sort of body part that generally feels better quickly.

4:40 pm

torgone

Top Cat was fave ..

4:40 pm

periwinkle

Vicuna, you are on a roll

4:41 pm

hurshy

4:41 pm

hurshy

4:49 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon, arlene - and see you later, peri.

4:49 pm

Vicuna

4:49 pm

Vicuna

I recall that in second grade I wrote a story about some nice ice mice, using all the spelling words.

4:50 pm

hurshy

BUG.

4:50 pm

Haz1558

Would it be a type of bug, Annie? Not the listening kind.

4:50 pm

hurshy

i wrote a story about being five inches tall.

4:50 pm

Vicuna

in6/21 - 6 legs, 3 body segments

4:50 pm

Anniebrook

4:51 pm

hurshy

4:51 pm

Anniebrook

4:51 pm

hurshy

4:51 pm

Vicuna

But mine was the most scientifically accurate, so there!

4:51 pm

hurshy

there's something highly amusing about saying nothing but the word

4:51 pm

hurshy

BUG

4:51 pm

Haz1558

Waving acknowledgement - mine was not concise, but took in different meanings of bug....

4:51 pm

Enomis65

does anybody have a clue for in 6/21 and in 7/32? These are my last two...

4:52 pm

Haz1558

So who gets the prize?

4:52 pm

Haz1558

To encourage/provoke in6

4:52 pm

hurshy

don't in6 a ri4, we can't have any violence on a sunday

4:52 pm

Anniebrook

in 6/21 was my last too, it is a bug

4:52 pm

Vicuna

Whoever can do the best for Enomis, I guess!

4:52 pm

Vicuna

in6/21 - encourage, as in violence or riots

4:52 pm

Anniebrook

and in 7/32 is plural of in 6/21

4:52 pm

Vicuna

conjugate verb for in7

Randy Armagost, owner of the Annandale Country Station, is one of the rare non-employees who has the opportunity to move freely throughout the bowels of the mine. His store is less than a minute away, and he makes regular catered deliveries to Iron Mountain for many of the companies.

7:04 pm

howdy - jill, were you here when I asked my kitty question?

9:18 pm

Janiece

Well, what do you know. Silly me. I tried to add a vowel.

9:18 pm

jillibus

don't think so, TnC -- what was it?

9:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

I had a cat with a loose tooth - we took her to the vet on Friday and they pulled multiple teeth - poor girl!

9:19 pm

ADHDWordLover

or the sound of flatus if pf**

9:20 pm

jillibus

oh yes, TNC -- I do remember! Thought they would pull the tooth but not TEETH! How old is you kittykat?

9:20 pm

jillibus

ADHD!!!

9:20 pm

ADHDWordLover

JILLI!!!!!

9:20 pm

lbdawger

i thinkit's the sound TNC's cat made when the vet started pulling teeth!

9:21 pm

TeaNCrackers

we got her from the humane society, so we think she is about 8 years old. they sedated her and did a teeth cleaning and that is when they decided more teeth had to come out.

9:21 pm

jillibus

actually, I guess if you prick a balloon it goes POP!

9:21 pm

ADHDWordLover

my kitty will be 17 on April 3 and she still chases mice and squirrels. tho this year she's lost most of her hearing and has cataracts

9:21 pm

ADHDWordLover

yep. told ya, flatus (a fart) goes pf** or a whoopy cushion lol

9:22 pm

lbdawger

TNC, she must have had some other problems for the vet to pull so many teeth. and rescued animals have a tendency to have a lot of dental problems such as absesses

9:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

it was quite an ordeal, me, a skittish kitty in the carrier, Crackers (1.5 yo) and Tea (3.5 yo) with no other adult, going to the vet. I'm sure we were a sight.

9:23 pm

TeaNCrackers

the vet said that her teeth were pretty dirty, but he was so worried about getting us all out tot he car in one piece that he really didn't talk to much about her, just told me he pulled multiple teeth and gave us kitty antibiotics.

9:23 pm

lbdawger

as long as everyone who went in came out all right.

9:23 pm

ADHDWordLover

aw the poor kitty

9:24 pm

jillibus

My lovely Susiecat will be 18 in Julyish (she adopted us, possibly abandoned by camper in September) and we've been feeding her dry TD (tartar diet) for years -- vets say her teeth are in amazingly good condition. She's longhaired calico and also gets Senior Hairball Diet, which seems to work too.

9:24 pm

lbdawger

your Susiecat made a wise choice in people.

9:25 pm

TeaNCrackers

that ordeal is over, thank goodness. then, yesterday, there was a wildfire in our neighborhood and a house about 3 blocks from us burned completely down and 4 to 6 others were damaged.

9:25 pm

jillibus

I think maybe we made a wise choice in vets

9:25 pm

ADHDWordLover

dry food is the best for them. Gidget has all of her teeth and they are clean and solid in her mouth. no gingivitis. the hard food helps keep them clean

9:25 pm

Janiece

I a lot of empathy for your kitty, TNC. My husband and I have 8 kitties. All rescues.

9:25 pm

lbdawger

YIKES! TNC you must be a wreck after all that excitment1

9:26 pm

ADHDWordLover

i had 11, my sister 12 cats, 3 dogs and 2 birds, all rescue animals

9:26 pm

jillibus

Saw that in your bio, Janiece -- good for you.

9:27 pm

TeaNCrackers

the neighborhood was evacuated (not us, though - just up to about a block away) but we had aheck of a time getting home from church, as our street was the main road in. They took down the power grid and some houses still don't have phone or cable today. It was a bit scary!

9:27 pm

Fiber Art

atalante, are you there?

9:27 pm

ADHDWordLover

wow, that SOUNDS scare TnC

9:27 pm

TNC -- has Reno been very dry lately? May I send you some of our endless rain???

9:28 pm

11:40 pm

ADHDWordLover

if you ask a stranger my age, they'll say mid to late 30s (tho the 80 year olds think I'm in my 20s lol), i can win every guess your age thingie at the fairs, if you ask my family, they'll say "She's 13 at most" if you ask ME? somewhere between 13 and 30. I'm blessed with good genes, unabused skin and ADHD, which keeps my mind childlike. I have two grown sons, 34 and almost 36 and I shall be 57 on Friday (is that how old I am??? wow!)

11:40 pm

Amiku

It ain't all that great, whitewitch. what you should be saying is I wish I was 16 and know what i know now.

11:49 pm

pianokid88

i must admit, 16 was a pretty tough age for me...

11:49 pm

whitewitch1111

11:49 pm

whitewitch1111

11:50 pm

whitewitch1111

11:51 pm

pianokid88

well, tonight must be the night of sob stories or something. When I was 15-1/2 I lost my left leg "AK" (above the knee) to bone cancer.

11:51 pm

whitewitch1111

still 16 is a good age....you don't have to care about bills and other stuff...

11:52 pm

11:53 pm

Amiku

/me sn5/22

11:54 pm

pianokid88

np, not, and no, not a happy story. BUT, really it is pretty happy. I was kind of a bratty, braniac loner in HS and this actually helped me come out of my shell in some ways. And kids who were teades me or ignored me actually would help when I was on crutches the first several months after the surgery.

11:55 pm

pianokid88

man it's late... TOO many TYPOS. Sorry!

11:55 pm

pianokid88

"...kids who would tease me..."

You know there are a LOT of good things that have come in the last 30+ years. WHeelchair basketball (a highly competitive sport), amputee golf (incredible to watch some with TWO fake legs hit a golf ball 250 yards, or one of the arm amps who kinda looked like Tiger hit it 285 yards straight down the fairway!)

Hi whitewitch! Decades ago my late hubby and I actually visited St Maarten -- well, St Martin, on a cruise -- paradise indeed!
