I told you guys I am reading with my kids, in English, right? Daughter of 9 and son of 11. Son has had 1 year of english at school, daughter none.
But now she is catching up with speed of light, and getting better already than son is. I am proud of her, but what to do with son?
1:32 am
GroovyKiwi
boys are always slow - my eldest at 14 still struggles reading english as his first language
1:32 am
GroovyKiwi
younger son seems to be better (hes 11)
1:32 am
VolleymomDee
try finding topics of interest just for him
1:33 am
sprite
she is the smartest of the two anyway... I want to read on and help my son handle being outsmarted... what do you think?
1:33 am
mymuseisme
also keying words visually or through action might also help him
1:33 am
lynxxx
like comics ! my son showed no interest in reading until he started collecting in his early teens
1:33 am
GroovyKiwi
sprite do you think your son would like an english speaking email friend to correspond with = that might help
1:33 am
sprite
I am sure he would love that!~
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
you could make him read aloud the emails he gets
1:34 am
sprite
ow, comics, smart one lynxxx! He loves comics.
1:34 am
GroovyKiwi
ill talk to my two boys and see if they are interested
1:34 am

and ill let you know

wow, that would be great, Kiwi. Especially the younger one... they are the same age.
1:37 am

kewl ill talk to them tomorrow

oh, and perhaps Ata would be willing to find my son some great comics and send them to me...
*makes note to self to ask*
1:39 am
Atalante
am here. lol. of course! but there are probably a lot of webcomics out there for boys of his age too, so he could keep up every day
1:39 am
joso
I can do that sprite, find comics I mean, big kid at heart here.
1:39 am
sprite
I bet, but I want him to have books. Tangible ones :)
He loves them and it would certainly stimulate him to read more on his own too.

Hi Fran - bet its the 5/6 combo - around the 6/7 combo

Hi MRP. I was at a party with someone from Toowoomba recently, but she didn't know you. I thought all Aussies know Mr President, LOL. How are you?
7:09 am
mrpresident
Toowoomba is a way from me LOL! am doing ok thanks! :))
7:10 am
mrpresident
am glad to be babbling after my break... the inlaws have let me have full access to the internet again! They are lovely and I need the break! :)
7:11 am
Scrabbler
Are you typing with one or two hands?
7:11 am
mrpresident
scrab... am out of the cast!! 3 month later!!!.... so typing with 2 hands but making heaps of mistakes cause I aint used to it
7:12 am
Scrabbler
But do you have a splint? Are you permitted to move your elbow and shoulder?
7:12 am
NonoNanette
you're doing very well mrp.... heck i make typing mistakes all the time and have no real excuse LOL
7:13 am
chiley
Scrab...when can a baby start cereal?
7:13 am
Scrabbler
The doctor in me is constantly looking out for fellow Babblers.
7:13 am
mrpresident
I am permitted to do that!! I start physiotherapy on tuesday!! yayayayayayay
7:13 am
mrpresident
a baby can start cereal at 3-4 months
7:13 am
chiley
2 mos and eating all the time
7:14 am
mrpresident
my shoulder is frozen unfortunately, but it will be fine by xmas according to the specialists
7:14 am
mrpresident
chiley, is your baby 2 months old?
7:14 am
Scrabbler
At six months babies should start cereal--extra iron is needed in their diet. Before that it is optional. For the first six months babies just need breastmilk or formula. Some really big babies may need cereal at 5 months.
7:15 am
chiley
ok...he is just always hungry so I was wondering
7:16 am
mrpresident
scrab, I would think 3 months for some babies... not just cause they are big, but cause they need it to keep satiated. My daughter started at 3 months as she was screaming from reflux and the cereal helped her food stay down
7:16 am
Scrabbler
Is he breastfed or formula-fed?
7:16 am
mrpresident
chiley, 2 months is too early... the mum could start complimentary bottle feeding or revert to bottle feeding entirely if she feels she is not giving him enough suppliment
7:17 am
Scrabbler
We add cereal early only for really big babies (>14 lbs) and for the pukers, to thicken their feeds in their stomach.
7:17 am
mrpresident
ah, the formula at 2 months needs to be upped to 120ml
7:17 am
Scrabbler
At 2 months most babies are drinking 24-28 ounces/day.
7:18 am
Scrabbler
Or 840 ml/day
7:19 am
chiley
Ok...he's taking about 4 oz at a time every 3 hours or so
7:19 am
chiley
his mom & dad are sick so he stayed with me last nite
7:19 am
mrpresident
my son was a big drinker... I breast fed him and then complimentary fed him about 60 ml extra after 2 months... so don't know what that is.... but by 4 months, he was on 180ml per feed, every 4 hours.
He started with cereal, then apple and pear after that and his intake increased as needed
7:19 am
Scrabbler
He may be going through a growth spurt. Is he a puker?
7:20 am
Scrabbler
How exciting, chiley! What is his name?
7:20 am
mrpresident
oh yes!! growth spurts require so much more! lol!! and more sleep too!
7:21 am
mrpresident
chiley, better than all the time :)
7:21 am
chiley
weighed 5 lb 20 at birth..now 10 lb 11 oz
7:21 am
chiley
that's 5 lb 10 oz....
7:21 am
chiley
I'm holding him so I can't type very well
7:21 am
Scrabbler
He doubled his weight in just 2 months. Was he premature?
7:22 am
mrpresident
he is doing very well then! :)
7:22 am
chiley
yes....6 wks
7:23 am
Scrabbler
Premies show rapid catch-up growth, so that is what he has done.
7:23 am
lilliann
hi all.my bairn was 3weeks prem and was hungry all the time.i couldn't breastfeed as i didn't have anything to givr her.at 1month we were hacing to put a spoonful of cereal in her milk as although she'd drink all the milk youd give her it wasn't staying down,so we'd give 6oz's and a spoonful of cereal and then she was going longer for feeds instead of every 2-3 hrs.
7:23 am
Mom

9:25 am
Anniebrook
Scarlet, I was bereft and turned the game off....about an hour later turned the game back on and the score was 8-3...how about that!

Anniebrook
Scarlet, that would be a great Series
9:28 am
herinfernallady
If i vanish its cause my 'timer' ran out. I am lap top and its not plugged in as im timing my self as its late
9:28 am
Scarlet
Phenomenal, AnnieB... I have a feeling that the World Series will be Colorado-Boston, but I've been wrong before... What I love most is that even the so-called "experts" are often way, way wrong!
9:29 am
montreal13
BBL - bye for now

Oh, Annie... we are in a true quandry here... Our local team, the Asheville Tourists are the launch pad for the Rockies, and after the curse was broken in 2004, we have enjoyed the surge of the Sox... so, we want to see a knock-down, drag-out battle of the greats... well, wait and hope...
9:32 am
Merk

9:54 am
hurshy
thank you - we will try to have worthy celebrations of the guy who wasn't the first... or even the first european... to discover america and introduce diseases that killed off many natives who had no immunity, later displacing them from their lands. but hey, any excuse for a day off is fine by me!
9:54 am
Scarlet
No comment, Marjetta....
9:54 am
LoriP
We would have a hrad time explaining at outpatients why Herins foot is configured like thta, in her mouth and all.....

9:55 am

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land. ~Jon Stewart
9:56 am
herinfernallady
I am getting a t-shirt made up My Inner Child Murdered My Responsible Adult
9:56 am
hurshy
to be fair, however, they didn't KNOW that they would bring over diseases for which the natives had no immunity. so that part, at least, was unintentional.
9:56 am
harpjane
And I am a member of the Submuloc society...for those who look at Columbus in another way!
9:57 am
Marjetta
That one is good herin
9:58 am
hurshy
my goodness marty is in a mood!
9:58 am
herinfernallady
Being a responsible adult is over rated. I thought that Thanks giving was the same day in AMerica and Canad but i did read the thing about it so im learning new things today
9:59 am
LoriP
American Thanksgiving is in Novermber herin.
9:59 am
herinfernallady
Ok
9:59 am
raelite
we couldn't do that herin - we already have a long weekend in november
9:59 am
LoriP
We lacked a holiday in October, so that's why we chose that month.... :)
10:00 am
herinfernallady
I did read about it while looking up my icon But my brain went oh they are the same month
10:00 am
herinfernallady
Thats why i like icons i learn new things
10:00 am
LoriP
The US Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday 9I think)
10:01 am
raelite
yeah...cause they have "black friday" right after
10:01 am
herinfernallady
Dang now i want Pumpkin Pie
10:01 am
NonoNanette
yep always the 4th thursday in november
10:01 am
harpjane
yup, the fourth Thursday of November.
10:02 am
LoriP
Ahh, thank ye. I was guessing 3rd thursday. Good thing I kept quiet.... :)
10:02 am
raelite
and considering the dollar right now...might be worth a trip south on that day...
10:02 am
herinfernallady
Hi HJ
10:02 am
LoriP
Black Friday, isn't that the kickoff to the Nightmare before Christmas? :-)
10:02 am
NonoNanette
yes lori it is
10:03 am
harpjane
this dollar thing is just not fair, rae, for years we could count on Canada being the only place where the American Dollar was worth something...
10:03 am
LoriP
I've seen news items about it. Quite a phenomenon really. That's a little too intense for my anti shopping habits.
10:03 am
raelite
well I have a "na na na boo boo" for you, HJ :P
10:04 am
NonoNanette
i avoid shopping on that day and the day after Christmas as well!
10:04 am
hurshy
ever since that friends episode where they were stuck at the gas station, part of my brain really thinks "PLEH" is a word.
10:04 am
NonoNanette
the crowds are just too much
10:05 am
raelite
this grid is too much! oy!
10:05 am
herinfernallady
Can I say as an Aussie competitive dollar at the moment is bad for my wallet. So many books on Amazon i want but have been unable to afford
10:05 am
LoriP
There were some strange new words in this grid for me, that's for sure.
10:06 am
raelite
herin: it won't be long before the aussie dollar is better than the greenback too
10:06 am
harpjane

10:06 am
herinfernallady
Thats a odd thought.
10:07 am
herinfernallady
I cant help with clues im still giving the grid a good wacking

Thank you i will give it a look over
10:28 am
Marjetta
you are most welcome. what role playing books are you looking for anyway?
10:29 am
herinfernallady
Mostly Old Dungeons and Dragon stuff I have a list some where of what he would like
10:30 am
hurshy
do you think role playing is a response to the de-masculinization of men in our society?
10:30 am
Marjetta
Some of the older ones are hard to find, others are easier. Ebay used to have some of those, I don't know if they still do or not.
10:30 am
raelite
have you tried ebay, herin?
10:31 am
herinfernallady
Hurshy my B.f has been Role Playing since he was 8 so id so no most boys i know use it to escape, wives kids etc
10:32 am
hurshy
the fact that he's been doing it since he was 8 in no way eliminates the possibility, and escape is... compatible with it.
10:32 am
Marjetta
I have been playing since I was 16, and my husband started when he was about 10
10:32 am
herinfernallady
I have tried ebay but their shipping cost is expensive if you have to ship off site. I will try a specific site soon. It is coming up to the ever looming closer christmas
10:32 am
raelite
the shipping charges bug me too :S
10:32 am
Marjetta
We play online now. We love playing dungeons and dragons online. It is really good.
10:33 am
herinfernallady
No he is very much a boy :)
10:33 am
hurshy
of course he is
10:33 am
hurshy
what i am saying is that if males have a need to feel manly, and society does not give them an outlet for that, they might role play.
10:33 am
Marjetta
mine is too herein
10:34 am
hurshy
you wouldn't see knights role-playing because they were living it.
10:34 am
rururocks
an 9 clue
10:34 am
herinfernallady
Raelite what bugs the crap out of me with ebay is my 40c paperback costs $10 USA in shipping. The other day i bought a hard back novel for $2.50 and then add shipping and exchange and it went to about $18
10:34 am
rururocks
is it a combo word
10:34 am
Marjetta
I think it has more to do with the era the role playing represents and the escapism
10:35 am
LoriP
an = Sing the National an***m + a **** roars
10:35 am
herinfernallady
No Hursh people have always told stories. The boys i know and i will only say it about these boys is that role playing has always been about the story and the adventure.
10:35 am

hurshy
hint: it is a cat
12:52 pm
lilliann
hursh,e and holidayr** and you say 10 hail mary's for last 3 letters.hi all.
12:52 pm
pabtrek
his name wouldn't begin with m would it
12:52 pm
hurshy
it would!
12:52 pm
Preethi
Hi Lilliann
12:53 pm
lilliann
hi preethi.
12:53 pm
hurshy
what's a holidayr**?
12:53 pm
Atalante
hmmmmm let me guess
12:53 pm
Atalante
cinders!
12:54 pm
hurshy
lol ata, that does not start with m
12:54 pm
Atalante
well .... thought you might have mistaken the letter
12:54 pm
redshoes
I don't get the "holidayr**" part of your clue. =(
12:54 pm
lilliann
person who works for holiday company.
12:55 pm
hurshy
aha. i am done.
12:55 pm
pabtrek
congrats hurshy
12:55 pm
redshoes
ummm... holiday company? *feels dumb*
12:55 pm
hurshy
like a sales r**
12:56 pm
lilliann
exactly hursh.
12:56 pm
redshoes
ok, that's what I was thinking. thanks hurshy. and congrats!
12:56 pm
Preethi
Congrats Hurshy
12:56 pm
lilliann
must be an english thing!!
12:56 pm
Atalante
or an ibizan thing :P
12:56 pm
redshoes
I was wondering. ha. =) thanks, though, lil!
12:56 pm
hurshy
yes, here we have holiday inn
12:56 pm
lilliann
wtg hursh.
12:57 pm
redshoes
ok, I'm going to go be productive. later peoples.
12:57 pm
Atalante
what do you call the people who look after holiday makers on package holidays?
12:57 pm
hurshy
i think redshoes just implied that playing babble wasn't productive.
12:58 pm
lilliann
no,the people who meet and greet us at airports and look after us on holiday are called holiday r***.
12:58 pm
Preethi
I dint get the er clue
12:58 pm
redshoes
umm...no... that's not it!
12:58 pm
Preethi
got the 1st holiday part but not the 2nd
12:58 pm
hurshy
um, i don't know if we call them anything in particular
12:58 pm
hurshy
hosts or hostesses, maybe?
12:58 pm
lilliann
sorry,not good at clueing.
12:58 pm
redshoes
I don't think we have holiday makers in the US. ha.
12:59 pm
hurshy
(by the way it took me a bit just to figure out holiday makers and package holidays)
12:59 pm
pabtrek
same here, don't get the last of the er clue
12:59 pm
Preethi
I got it Lilliann.. Thanks
12:59 pm
redshoes
oh... the last part of the clue is "missing the mark" or a transgression.
12:59 pm
hurshy
a holiday in the US is a day that is designated to commemorate something. what you call a holiday, we call a vacation.
12:59 pm
lilliann
when you do this,you go to church to pray.
1:00 pm
lilliann
yw preethi.
1:00 pm
Atalante
(your clue was wonderful, lilli, I got it straight away :)
1:00 pm
hurshy
and when people go on a vacation to a resort or something, i don't think they think very much about the people who work there. they're just staff.
1:00 pm
pabtrek
thanks, figured it out, for some reason i kept thinking it was a 6 not a 7
1:01 pm
redshoes
add two more letters preethi. ha.
1:01 pm
redshoes
add two more letters preethi. ha.
1:01 pm
hurshy
although we do have travel agents to help in the planning.
1:01 pm
Atalante
but see if you go on holiday with Club 18-30 or Club Med or Ski America lol. what do you call the people who work at the resorts who help you go on trips, organise events etc
1:01 pm
redshoes
and concierges and that sort of thing.
1:01 pm
hurshy
not that most people use a travel agent.
1:02 pm
lilliann
that's the problem with having different nationalities,as we have different sayings and meanings.sometimes i don't get the american clues.the other day i was talking about a pram and t t didn't know what i was talking about.
1:02 pm
hurshy
i don't know, i don't know anybody who goes on those sorts of vacations.
1:02 pm
saphyre
pram is a carraige - used in USA also
1:02 pm
redshoes
thanks for the p word lil. =)
1:02 pm
hurshy
ata ... i think we call those people interfering ba*****s
1:02 pm
saphyre
problem is that no one takes babies for walks in carraiges anymore
1:03 pm
lilliann
t&t calls it a stroller.
1:03 pm
hurshy
strollers, people use strollers. esp jogging strollers.
1:03 pm
lilliann
ty redshoes.
1:03 pm
saphyre
no pram is more of a coach carraige - not a stroller
1:04 pm
redshoes
well, we have actual event coordinators, activities coordinators or concierges. I think that's what we would call them.
1:04 pm
redshoes
ok, leaving for real this time. laters.
1:04 pm
hurshy
right, i'm saying, that is why people don't use carriages, bc they are using strollers instead.
1:04 pm
lilliann
so hursh, when americans go abroad,you don't have people to sort out things.do you not have package holidays?
1:05 pm
Atalante
what about for a tiny baby, you can't put in strollers? if what I'm thinking is a stroller is one
1:05 pm
saphyre
true hurshy - i had a pram for y kids and a stroller for shoppig etc
1:05 pm
Atalante
no, they just yell loudly, say "HEY I'M AMERICAN!" and expect stuff to be sorted out
1:05 pm
hurshy
we do, but we look upon the people who go on that sort of vacation as lame.
1:05 pm
Anniebrook
saphyre, off to the penalty box!
1:05 pm
lilliann
to me, a stroller is a pushchair.
1:05 pm
phandmd
The strollers we have lie flat like a pram
1:06 pm
hurshy
we don't all do that ata! some of us just prefer to make our own plans and not be herded about like cattle.
1:06 pm
phandmd
Well, some types of strollers; the umbrella stroller doesn't lay down flat
1:06 pm
Anniebrook
and phand too, to the penalty box!
1:06 pm
saphyre
new strollers do lay flat for infants - but it's a different era I guess
1:06 pm
lilliann
i must be lame then because i go loads.infact that's mostly the british holidays.
1:06 pm
hurshy
but you're not american, so it's not lame for you.
1:07 pm
hurshy
it's just, you know, that independent spirit we've got
1:07 pm
Anniebrook
I put chocolates and macadamias in the box for you both.....
1:07 pm
lilliann
i wish we could do it like you but then it ends up being really expensive
1:07 pm
phandmd
The Pr 4 is just not a practicle thing, it only lasts a few months. The stroller lasts years.
1:07 pm
Atalante
*snerk* americans independent on holidays??
1:08 pm
hurshy
i dunno lilli, you'd save loads on airfare over us because you're so much closer to europe
1:08 pm
hurshy
i said SOME of us, ata :)
1:08 pm
Anniebrook
hiya saphyre
1:08 pm
lilliann
your joking!a flight to france can cost over £300!
1:09 pm
Atalante
interesting, cos I'd consider europeans / brits much more independent than americans on holidays. you only ever see americans herded round tour guides over here ;)
1:09 pm
hurshy
but you can take the train instead :)
1:09 pm
Sandieangel
Yikes - too many wprds tonight!!!!! Oh well going into the grid - speak to you all laer.
1:09 pm
hurshy
yes but those are the LAME americans.
1:09 pm
lilliann
i was going to fly to france last year to see my mam and actually,it was going to cost more than that,because i couldn't fly direct.
1:10 pm
saphyre
I don't do tours - I like seeing the real stuff not just the tyical siteseeing stuff
1:10 pm
Atalante
ahhhh lol :)
1:10 pm
FMitch
Evening all
Ata was looking for you just now :)
1:10 pm
hurshy
since europe is so far, most of us poor americans have to take our vacations in the US. like, i went to a bed & breakfast in a quiet vermont town. see... saphyre knows what i mean!
1:10 pm
Preethi
Hello FMitch
1:11 pm
hurshy
i guess people do go to the caribbean and mexico too.
1:11 pm
Atalante
hi fm :)
1:11 pm
FMitch
Hi Preethi, I see you have a flag now.
1:11 pm
lilliann
we don't do tours, we like to hire a car depending on which country we're going to and look around for ourselves as we like to go off the beaten track.
1:11 pm
periwinkle
Hi all
1:11 pm
periwinkle
I am stuck in the re words
1:11 pm
Preethi
welcome back Peri
1:11 pm
hurshy
(and btw don't you also see asians being herded about on tours? i did!)
1:11 pm
Shawnee
personally, I would like to tour abroad without being herded around as well. who better to ask about what is there than the locals? and they always know where the good food is at. Exploring is half the fun
1:11 pm
saphyre
hi again peri - not at the re's yet
1:12 pm
Preethi
Yes FMitch..Im actually excited abt it:)
1:12 pm
Atalante
ohhhh yes. Japanese and Americans :)
1:12 pm
lilliann
hi peri.
1:12 pm
hurshy
well i guess i have not quite understood still, then, what a package holiday is
1:13 pm
hurshy
do you just mean that your airfare and hotel and rental car are all included in one price?
1:13 pm
Atalante
Noun 1. package holidaypackage holiday - a tour arranged by a travel agent; transportation and food and lodging are all provided at an inclusive price
1:13 pm
lilliann
a package holiday is holiday and flight all in one price.
1:14 pm
Atalante
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_h
oliday
1:14 pm
hurshy
ah, see, i think here mostly people can't afford travel agents, and we do book packages, but we do it ourselves online or whatever.
1:14 pm
FMitch
You could loosly categorise a cruise as a package holiday.
1:14 pm
saphyre
but you can do that through the internet without deling with a travel agent
1:14 pm
hurshy
at travelocity or priceline or what have you
1:15 pm
Atalante
you can do both, and get whichever is cheaper
1:15 pm
hurshy
and if you don't use a travel agent, there isn't one "holiday rep", there's just someone at the rental car agency to give you your car, and someone at the hotel to check you in...
1:15 pm
FMitch
Travel Agnets are a dying breed due to the availability of all types of holiday via the net.
1:15 pm
lilliann
you can have bed and breakfast, room only,all inclusive and i can't think what you call the otherone,you get all your meals but have to pay for drinks.
1:15 pm
saphyre
very true fmitch
1:15 pm
Atalante
dull board
1:16 pm
Atalante
FULL board!
1:16 pm
periwinkle
help with both re6/24 please
1:16 pm
hurshy
see i kept thinking you meant the tour type vacation where everything is planned for you.
1:16 pm
lilliann
we use direct holidays on the net as it is alot cheaper,but you still get a rep at the other end.
1:17 pm
Atalante
package holidays can be that, but they dont have to be
1:17 pm
hurshy
i think maybe the thing is that we just don't talk about vacations in terms of whether we got a package deal or not. we just talk about where we're going.
1:17 pm
saphyre
The last time I dealt with a travel agency they screwed up my trip horribly
1:17 pm
phandmd
can a get a U clue or 3 pls?
1:17 pm
lilliann
that's it ata.i have a terrible memory.not good for a word game!!!
1:18 pm
hurshy
we don't think of those categories, package holiday vs. non-package holiday, i guess to us that would not be a major distinction.
1:18 pm
hurshy
now, with-kids and without-kids, that would be a major distinction for a lot of people
1:18 pm

Uneaixoise
ag5 limber, moves easily
4:28 pm
bubba218
The porblem is Americans don't realize that the government takes 30% of your income. Most people think that their net income is what they make, they have no idea how much is being taken fromtheir checks before they get. Just wait for the bureacracy that will be formed by national health.
4:29 pm

waiting 6 hours in a clinic is nothing bubba - waiting 18 months for an operation...

I can guarantee that the congress will exempt themselves from national health, just like they exempted themselves from social security and medicare
4:30 pm
montreal13
not an easy problem to fix in the US for sure - but reading about the HMOs and how many CANNOT afford health care is also disgusting...
4:30 pm
bubba218
Une, how much taxes did you pay. It is not what you paid for the care, it is the total amount of your income that is spent for theses services
4:31 pm
lynxxx
Going now - see you all later. Congrats in adavnce Montreal
4:31 pm
Uneaixoise
at the time, I was making less than $500 a month
4:31 pm

bubba, i dont get why someone didnt go to the supreme court about the congress being exempt.....do they pay into the government retirement accounts? i heard they dont.........and that is horrible..........and totally unfair.
