Hey, I got a lot of faith in you
I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line
Yeah, you have a lot of fun don't you
And living with you is a ball of a time
Hey beauty when the mood gets you down
Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground
That's when I gotta play the clown for you
Black humour made you kick your blues

Howdy Angel
Where did you hide your wings
Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven
Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven

Hey, I gotta lotta faith in you
I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line
Yeah, we have a lot of fun don't we
And heaven has to be with you all the time
Hey beauty when the mood gets you down
Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground
That's when I gotta play the clown for you
Black humour made me kick my blues

Howdy Angel
Where did you hide your wings
Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven
Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven

GroovyKiwi

ok on its way :)

1:45 am

PAV3

it's before midnite here...what am I to do?

1:45 am

I never did, seain. I think it has once been a rather popular song in the netherlands, because I know it all.

1:45 am

dcseain

hello, bee

1:45 am

dcseain

it's nearly 3 here; i ought sleep, or be productive.

1:45 am

sprite

there are a couple of things I could suggest if this wasn't an all ages site. Apart from that, reading comes to mind, sleeping even...

1:45 am

dcseain

sing of good things not, bad, sing of happy not sad! :D

1:46 am

PAV3

I had a wonderful pork roast with potatoes and carrots and onions...stewed all day in the crockpot...the poopies were just drooling when I returned from work...

sprite

make it simple, to last your whole life long...

1:47 am

GroovyKiwi

sorry i didnt make it to your place for dinner pav lol

1:47 am

sprite

*drools too*

1:47 am

GroovyKiwi

not that i like pork but just to have a man cook for me again would be so nice lol

1:47 am

PAV3

guess I'll clean up the kitchen...and then rest...I've been swaying to the music

1:48 am

dcseain

i learned 'to last your whole life through'

1:48 am

sprite

ah, I see, it is from the Carpenters. I think I know pretty much all their songs.

1:48 am

HoneyBee

ditto, sounds yummy

1:48 am

dcseain

happily, little cleaning with the crock pot

1:48 am

sprite

wouldn't rhyme with through, I think it should be long

1:48 am

dcseain

oh, did they record it? we learned it in school.

1:48 am

GroovyKiwi

loves cockprot cooking but the kids dont that much unless its my schnitzel casserole

1:49 am

GroovyKiwi

we had a good sing song last nite or was it the nite before spritey? lol

1:49 am

sprite

the one I know is from the Carpenters, yes. Never knew it was a school song!

1:49 am

sprite

I love crockpot cooking.

1:49 am

HoneyBee

whats schnitzel? :)

1:49 am

sprite

we did, Kiwi, the night before I think, yes :)

1:49 am

dcseain

schnitzel casserole? If schnitzel means what it does in Oesterreische, that sounds possibly unpleseant.

1:49 am

sprite

hi HoneyBee

1:49 am

GroovyKiwi

thin steak size pieces of beef honey

1:49 am

HoneyBee

hi sprite

1:49 am

GroovyKiwi

oh no this is yummy dc

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

you take a kilo of schnitzel steak (uncrumbed) and freeze it first

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

then take onions and carrots and dice and slice into the crockpot

1:50 am

sprite

yeah, I was thinking the same. Schnitzel should have paneer around it.

1:50 am

PAV3

last time I added some frozen green chili...If I had a brain cell, I would have rememebered to put the last bit in, still scrupmtious...I'm not dyslexic..just my bifocals won't let me type right ...that and the keyboard is playing games with my fingers...

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

add 2 oxo cubes and a cup of water

1:50 am

dcseain

Firefox 3 shows boxes with the double-byte codes in them, since my rommie doesn't have Chinese installed on this computer. nifty!

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

then through the frozen meat in

1:50 am

GroovyKiwi

and then turn on and cook for the day

1:51 am

dcseain

oh, gotcha, that does sound quite lovely, sprite.

1:51 am

sprite

sure PAV, sure, don't worry,we know you are one of the smartest cookies in the jar ;)

1:51 am

GroovyKiwi

throw the meat in too lol

1:51 am

HoneyBee

hmmm, sounds good

1:51 am

dcseain

i'm beginning to learn how to use meat substitutes in my cooking more.

1:51 am

sprite

I think you mean Kiwi, seain :)

1:51 am

GroovyKiwi

this is so much more melt in your mouth than just using thick casserole steak and it ends up like a thick chowder because the meat just falls apart which is why you need to freeze it first

1:52 am

dcseain

we, collectively, really should do a cookbook.

1:52 am

sprite

man, this is a biblical grid. I just found what God might do to us when we commit those two sins.

1:52 am

HoneyBee

i usually make pepper steak in the crockpot :)

1:52 am

sprite

that would be great, seain. Ruru could contribute too, he is a marvelous cook.

1:52 am

PAV3

I use the leftover liquid for the poopies' dry food, that way they eat everything up...

1:52 am

HoneyBee

it's spicy

1:52 am

sprite

sounds great too, HoneyB!

1:52 am

dcseain

GroovyKiwi

BabbleCookOff i think will be the name of the website lol

2:12 am

sprite

2:13 am

Andree

this all sounds great will look forward to some great ideas

2:13 am

GroovyKiwi

3:09 am

sprite

welcome back, bfsog, I know you used to play a lot

3:10 am

Beautiful down here too Andree - Tshirt weather

3:10 am

yeah i came back on saturday, finished sat and sun's grid so im hopeful today

3:10 am

sprite

today's is pretty ok

3:10 am

lynxxx

yeah yeah bfsog, so we're addicted

3:10 am

Andree

and supposed to be the same tomorrow, then to turn cold and wet

3:10 am

joshuavorbis

i took several years off babble - i'm back for a month or so now and i'm fully addicted

3:11 am

HoneyBee

i'm off to bed can't stay awake much longer

3:11 am

sprite

sleep well, HoneyB

3:11 am

lynxxx

goodnite HoneyB

3:11 am

Andree

well welcome back josh and bfsog

3:11 am

Andree

bye honey

3:11 am

HoneyBee

thanks :) bye

3:12 am

sprite

seems babble does that to some people. Never noticed that addicting quality myself though.

3:12 am

bfsog

i think i am going to develop a webpage to help with babble

3:13 am

lynxxx

bfsog - you should see Angelsongs babble page - link below - I understand it is pretty comprehensive

3:14 am

sprite

what kind of help, bfsog?

3:15 am

bfsog

i looked at that page, and most of the ones down there when i first joined. i plan to develop a page kinda like morewords. as in you type in a clue (such as en6,30) and the page displays words that match that (such as enough)

3:16 am

bfsog

obviously though the data behind the page will be limited to words i have recorded, which as of now is only sat and sun and 15 words from this grid!

3:16 am

Andree

i love morewords

3:17 am

sprite

bfsog, if you really are going to put work into that idea, you can use the same wordlist babble does. It is available. But morewords and A2Z are pretty much doing the same thing.

3:18 am

bfsog

ooh really, where do i get my grubby little mitts on it, email god?

3:18 am

Andree

and to add to sprites comment, licketys page is a great help anymore would make it too easy

3:18 am

sprite

http://www.bytefusion.com/products/op/
dm/enable.htm

3:19 am

sprite

Andree, I sometimes use a2z, but without lickety's list.

3:20 am

sprite

I was told this one is the version babble uses.

3:20 am

sprite

(this link I just gave, you can download the wordlist from there)

3:20 am

bfsog

thanks. wow 172,000 i think i wont do it by hand

3:22 am

lynxxx

You wouldn't need to lad any words longer than 13 letters - or less than 4 - maybe that would get you down to 150,000!

3:22 am

bfsog

ah, thats alright then :

3:22 am

lynxxx

lad? load

3:22 am

bfsog

:P

3:22 am

sprite

lower even, I think, lyn. I seem to remember removing all the smaller words is making it a lot shorter

3:23 am

sprite

bfsog, try this one:

You're welcome.

Haz1558

You could be doing worse things.

3:41 am

bfsog

yeah, it wont be long until i am offloading my bad jokes onto the rest of you. like the good old days

3:42 am

Haz1558

We're used to old jokes around here.

3:44 am

bfsog

my grid is drying up... already

3:45 am

Haz1558

There are a fair number of normal wordsm, but then a proportion of 'not before encountered' helps to bring you down to earth.

3:48 am

bfsog

so whats new with you haz?

3:48 am

Andree

are the ru5 and 6 normal words?

3:48 am

Haz1558

Think cow stomach, Andree.

3:49 am

Haz1558

They're ordinary words in this house, but when husband is a cattle vet, you can understand.

3:50 am

Haz1558

What's new with me? Not a lot - both daughters are at home, the younger one had a summer in New Zealand, she goes back to Edinburgh for her final year in a couple of weeks time. I had my summer holidays in Tanzania and enjoyed it very much.

3:50 am

Andree

thx haz

3:51 am

3:52 am

bfsog

Haz1558

You'll wear yourself to a shadow.

3:55 am

bfsog

nah i like the food a bit too much for that to happen

3:55 am

Haz1558

That's a comfort. You can't babble if all your energy is dissipated elsewhere.

3:55 am

bfsog

3:56 am

Haz1558

Proper order.

3:59 am

MonkeyGames

Oh THERE it is! Thanks.

5:34 am

MonkeyGames

Aww, thanks!

5:35 am

MonkeyGames

I do love every moment with him.

5:36 am

MonkeyGames

This morning he told me that he had thrown me off the bus into the "icky water"of the canal and was going to daycare by himself.

5:36 am

MonkeyGames

He still wants to be a podiatrist.

5:38 am

JBV

well, I remember a day when my 2-year-old son (who is now 24) was really being a pain and wouldn't listen and I was losing my temper and he looked up at me calmly and said, "Go to work, Mom!"

5:38 am

JBV

you will be telling these stories for years

5:39 am

MonkeyGames

Now that is funny! Last week a similar thing was happening, and Walter said, "Go in the kitchen and make dinner. I do not want to see you." Off to lunch break with me; back soon!

5:40 am

choco ice cream tastes to me like choco flavored chalk...

hi to

3:55 pm

sprite

Babs: no, the parents of a friend of my daughter's. Last weekend my husband picked them up from horseriding and took the friend home, but she slammed the cardoor on our daughter's hand (by accident of course) and didn't realise it. My husband has spoken urgently to her to open the door, and has packed up our daughter and went home immediately to start cooling the hand.

3:55 pm

icepyro

heh I held my cellphone in front of me and snapped a shot this morning lol

3:56 pm

sprite

my sweet girl tried to call her friend as soon as she was sitting in my arms, with her hand in an icepack. No answer. 5 mintues later the father called and gave my husband an earful about how he dared to yell at HIS daughter.

3:56 pm

Babs1

ohhh...is her hand ok now??

3:56 pm

sprite

lol, see... you ask. They still haven't. Yes, her hand is ok. Black and blue, but nothing broken, hallelujah.

3:57 pm

icepyro

I bet they don't even know that her hand was caught in a door

3:57 pm

sprite

they are all over us for the simple fact that my husband hasn't talked sweetly to the girl. They don't care about Caya's hand at all. And when we came to their home today to talk it out like adults, they did not want to listen at all.

3:57 pm

Babs1

i thin whenever there is trauma that one is a part of...a common response is to blame outside...because the guilt or responsibility feels so heavy. Glad her hand is ok!!! yay!

3:58 pm

icepyro

oooh

3:58 pm

sprite

yes, they know, but they don't care. And they said their daughter is afraid of my husband. And that Caya, our daughter, is terrified of us but doesn't dare to tell us.

3:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

silly, SILLY fl5/6!

3:59 pm

sprite

we are cruel parents, according to them. Caya must be home at the time we told her. She has gone missing for at least (seriously) 50 times, not telling us where she was, so we are very strict about that. But to them, that means we are cruel.

3:59 pm

Babs1

sounds like there was fu4/10 in the room during your discussion! (a new word for me!)

4:00 pm

sprite

and I am arrogant and I am looking down upon them (god knows where they got that from) and they forbid the friendship between the girls from now on.

4:00 pm

icepyro

when I was young, my friends parents thought the same of my mom and nearly had us taken

4:00 pm

Babs1

Have you figured out what prompts her to wander, sprite?

4:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

sprite sorry to hear of it. glad your caya 's hand is all right.

4:01 pm

Madi95

fl5/20?

4:01 pm

F + not short

4:01 pm

fl5 rhymes with s4 th5 t4 h4 etc

4:02 pm

sprite

this woman called me names and yelled at me, then told me to leave her house, which we of course did. And I said, good evening anyway, and she went totally mad. "Yeah, behave politely," she yelled. "Looking down at us again, go be polite."

4:02 pm

Madi95

*giggles*

4:02 pm

kje

sounds like a conversation my dad had with another set of parents when we were young, sprite... they thought my dad was mean b/c we had to come home from a party on a sunday evening by 1-pm (school night) and the other parent said, but the party doesn't even end until 10:30... and my dad said, yes, nad they will be home by 10

4:02 pm

Madi95

not about you sprite, about the f5.

4:02 pm

sprite

Babs: she forgets. She goes home with a friend, which she is allowed of course, and then forgets to call us.

4:03 pm

howdy all

4:03 pm

so glad Gustav weakened! Anyone have famly who evacuated...sounds like it was more like walking than driving out of New Orleans!

4:03 pm

be a mean parent sprite! that is what I say

4:03 pm

icepyro

I wandered because I wanted to see/do something and forgot to go all the way home to tell mom

4:03 pm

sprite

we have had years of looking for her, very worried, and finding her in one house or another, so we are very strict.

4:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

must go peeps - see you later!

4:04 pm

pugmama763

see ya later folks ,going to lie down for a bit. Happy Babbling! POOF!

4:04 pm

Babs1

bye to!

4:04 pm

sprite

we have grounded her once for a whole week because she had done this 4 times in a row... and this lady points literally at her forehead when she relates that.

4:04 pm

Babs1

how old is Caya now?

4:04 pm

bye bye pug

4:04 pm

bye pugmama

4:04 pm

she is 10 now.

4:05 pm

we also read english books in the morning with the kids. That is cruel too.

4:05 pm

kje

how can she just disappear at10???? I thought hse must be a teenager or something... and what business is it of the other mom that you make her come home????

4:05 pm

louuol2004

ru 5/14 please

4:05 pm

Madi95

i was thinking teenage, too.

4:06 pm

nDanLia

having to do with a cow's stomachs

4:06 pm

sprite

I once asked her daughter not to call us 3 or 4 times every morning because she really interfered with our morning schedule and reading, and that was cruel too. Now, so the mother claims, the girl doesn't dare calling us again. (she has called is about 9 times in last week alone).

4:06 pm

kje

I stand by my original remark... be a mean mom Sprite - (if that is how she is defining mean) - someday she will thank you

4:06 pm

Babs1

hmm...maybe too much responsibility to make the decision to go to a friend on her own? it just seems like kids at that age are so into the moment, they need lots of structure to help them feel secure...just one opinion here...

4:06 pm

icepyro

I grew up in a suburban neighborhood with lots of friends. I always got in trouble for wandering to someone's house. all within half mile or so, but mom worried a lot

4:07 pm

lol, the disappearing was from 4 years on! As soon as she started school, she went home with friends and just didn't tell us, or went playing after school on the playground near us and then disappeared into someone's house without telling. I have been scared to death by her more times than I can tell.

4:08 pm

kje

we wondered all over too ice, but we had set times we had to be home.... and we knew we had better be home by then

4:08 pm

icepyro

hello monkey

4:08 pm

wandered actually... though wondering is not all too far off either

4:08 pm

the older they get, the more freedom they get. But when they are little, I want to know where they are.

4:08 pm

Madi95

my friends call me in the morning too!! very annoying. it's hard enough getting in the car by 7 without them calling

4:09 pm

yeah, mine was dark, but if I went inside and played video games suddenly it would be 9pm

4:09 pm

sprite

I don't mind if they call for something important, but 4 times a morning about things that can wait until school are irritating.

4:09 pm

kje

10 is too young - they do not know enough of the world yet to understand why wandering off could be dangerous and deadly

4:09 pm

Babs1

why not just have the rule that a parent has to call you if she goes home with a friend...otherwise she comes straight home? maybe I'm naive...just never let my daughter to go home with anyone but me.

kje, more or less the same for me

4:11 pm

kje

woohoo Ndala!!!!

4:12 pm

sprite

parents often don't act that responsible with other's kids, alas. We had the rule that if she wants to go to someone, she has to come ask first. Now that she can come home from school alone, we have agreed that she can go play with somebody, but only after phoning us where and setting a time we can pick her up. It is all very local here. But even if we are strict, we are never mean. And our kids aren't scared at all. You all can ask MonkeyGames, who visited us recently.

4:12 pm

kje

ok, that was suppose to be... woohoo Nadal!!!

4:12 pm

he's rafalicious!!!!

4:13 pm

kje

sprite - ignore the other mom... you can raise your daughter the way you see best... who cares what she thinks... question is, do you want her hanging out with that family if they are that loose with their own kids

4:13 pm

sprite

I hate it that they are so mean to Caya. Not caring about her hand and ruining the friendship(they have been friends for almost 4 years now).

4:14 pm

Babs1

Whenever I've seen that too much freedom has caused a problem...and possible danger, I've pulled in the reins...I think that makes the children feel safer...I know I've always sensed my daughter trusting our decisions about her freedom of choices..A great book to read..From Form to Freedom by Betty Staley really helped me get a feel for how much freedom to give at different ages...

I cannot let my daughter go to a family that would leave my girl with her hand caught in a car door until their own daughter would be sufficiently cuddled.

woohoo monkey!!! you rock!

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

my kids both tell me they feel safe with us, and with our rules, and they understand them completely. Even if they rebel sometimes, they still relax once it is clear where the limits are.

4:15 pm

Madi95

THAT'S mean... not the other way around

4:15 pm

icepyro

kje... parents can be dumb and less mature than kids... my best friends parents nearly had child services take us away from our mom because they thought we were neglected half the time and abused the other half for similar reasons

4:15 pm

sprite

well done lil*monkey

4:15 pm

icepyro

wtg monkey!!

4:15 pm

lil*monkey

what, sprite? did someone hurt your daughter by closing the car door on her hand????

4:16 pm

sprite

thanks Madi :)

4:16 pm

sprite

yes, by accident of course, lil*monkey. But they don't care.

4:16 pm

lil*monkey

i wouldn't let my daughter play at that house ever again

4:16 pm

kje

sprite - are you on the way between lyon france and copenhagen?

4:17 pm

sprite

the girl that did it has made a perfect drama about my husband not talking sweetly to her, but yelling at her to get that door back open.

4:17 pm

sprite

lol, kje, yes in a way... I am very close to Amsterdam.

4:17 pm

lil*monkey

seriously, sprite, i would write them off... no more contact

4:17 pm

kje

we may need to meet for lunhc : )

4:17 pm

sprite

that is what we had to decide indeed, lil*. They cannot be trusted with our girl.

4:17 pm

sprite

oh kje, that would be great!

4:18 pm

lil*monkey

good for you sprite :)

4:18 pm

lil*monkey

jealous! I want to have lunch with sprite and kajee!

4:18 pm

sprite

let me say that I don't blame the kid for hurting my daughter. Accidents happen. My husband wasn't mad at her either. Just very urgent she got out asap.

4:18 pm

sprite

we'd love to have you, lil*!

4:19 pm

lil*monkey

kajee is always going on trips that don't include stops in Virginia *hmpf*

4:19 pm

I asked: do you realise none of you have even asked how CAYA is doing? And all she said was: of course not.

4:19 pm

Madi95

me7?

4:19 pm

Michnick

Hi all! Anyone have the 1st em4/8

4:19 pm

lil*monkey

sprite: good riddance to them

4:19 pm

sprite

a kind of cigaret taste, Madi, plural for the 8

4:20 pm

lil*monkey

me7 is a type of cigarette

4:20 pm

icepyro

em4 - electromagnetic fields

4:20 pm

lil*monkey

em4,8 is em + no i**, ands or buts

4:21 pm

sprite

they were really close friends, but I wonder... any friend would at least want to know how things turned out, right? But this one actually asked Caya today on seeing the bandages: hey, what happened to your hand? So Caya stared at her and said: you know.

4:21 pm

icepyro

hehe funny to use a clue about cigs to someone young enough that someone in this world would probably be offended that you did ;)

4:22 pm

Madi95

you mean a brand name?? i don't know cause, well, i dont smoke

4:22 pm

kje

gotta run, but we will talk more later sprite - looks like I may be over near you in December...

4:22 pm

lil*monkey

sprite, you find out who your true friends are in a time of crisis.. obviously this girl is not a "true" firend to your daughter

4:22 pm

icepyro

its a flavor madi

4:22 pm

icepyro

not necessarily a brand

4:22 pm

sprite

oh dear... let me assure all present, especially Madi, that I don't suggest to go smoke them.

4:22 pm

Michnick

Thanks ice & lil*

4:22 pm

lil*monkey

Madi, cigarettes can be plain or me7 (a flavor, like Salem cigs)

4:22 pm

nDanLia

is it possible she didn't know it was her hand and misheard what your husband said?

4:22 pm

sprite

lovely, kje! Looking forward to it.

4:23 pm

nDanLia

or she may have blocked it out

4:23 pm

sprite

no, she knew perfectly well, as we found out today when we went to speak to her parents. She just doesn't care, because she claims she is hurt much more by my husband speaking so urgently to her.

4:23 pm

Madi95

googled them. thank you

4:24 pm

lil*monkey

gotta run... sprite, sending good karma to you and your family :) xxx

4:24 pm

icepyro

LoL!!! didn't mean to sound like that sprite, I was watching a show yesterday where they are trying to make it so smoking in movies get rated R unless they are showing how harmful cigs are or they are portraying a historical person who smokes

4:24 pm

sprite

thanks lil*monkey, for bearing with me!

4:24 pm

nDanLia

guilt sometimes makes people pick something else to focus on

4:25 pm

sprite

actually, as I tell my kids, don't start smoking ever. It is bad for your health, bad for your breath, bad for your wallet and tough to get rid off.

4:26 pm

sprite

nDan: that is what has happened. And in stead of calming their girl and seeing how caya was doing and smoothing it all out effortlessly (nobody was mad at her), the parents made this into a kind of war.

4:26 pm

nDanLia

some good pics show what even 1 can leave in your lungs - yuck

4:27 pm

sprite

hope I made up for it now, icepyro ;)

4:27 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

4:27 pm

icepyro

anywyas just reminded me of that mindset to see the clue and found amusing.

4:27 pm

tygerbryght

spritey, I don't think I've ever seen you in here this time of day!

4:27 pm

sprite

you'll all be tired of my story, I know, but can I say one more thing? That I really feel there isn't anything more hurtful to say to a parent than that their kids are terrified of them?

4:27 pm

Madi95

i need to go. hashbrown casserole to tend to. be back tonight for more. spritey, best of luck to your family.

4:27 pm

icepyro

lolol those kinda mindsets amuse me. (at least until they frustrate me)

4:28 pm

sprite

hiya tyger! Am here almost every night now, shortly anyway, to announce the new icon theme (and to check if it shows up properly in my profile)

4:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

there is such a thing as righteous fear.

4:28 pm

icepyro

bye madi take care

4:28 pm

Madi95

bye!

4:28 pm

sprite

bye Madi, be well!

4:28 pm

tygerbryght

but, Owl, righteous fear is *respect*, not terror

4:29 pm

tygerbryght

(jumping right in, just like a fool) :P

4:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

your point, tyger? you agrtee with the neighbors, or with sprite?

4:29 pm

sprite

my kids aren't afraid of us. Yes, they respect us, and our rules. But they call us funny names too, wrestle with us, make joke with us, hug and cuddle with us, talk back to us.

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

my grown younger grandson was a rebellious youngster, and my son had a heavy hand, but he will lay his head on his dad's shoulder when they're sitting together watching TV

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

I don't think kids should ever be afraid of their parents

4:30 pm

sprite

they are polite and friendly to other adults, thanking parents for letting them play or stay for dinner. But they chat easily with them too.

4:30 pm

tygerbryght

my son always could say/ask anything (still does) - same with grandson

4:31 pm

tygerbryght

you'd be amazed at some of our conversations, I bet

4:31 pm

sprite

exactly tyger, and they do. I just know that if they were scared, they wouldn't come to us with everything that bothers them, or make fun of us in a good way, or crawl all over us to hug and cuddle and tickle.

4:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

if i did wrong, i was afraid of the consequences and their reaction. Guess my parents were cruel and unreasonable. how in the world do i love them so? *poof*

4:32 pm

tygerbryght

owl, I'm not sure whether I've got the entire story straight, but I

4:33 pm

tygerbryght

oh, well. I was always afraid of consequences of wrongdoing - but never afraid of my parents. I think that's what you were talking about, sprite?

4:33 pm

sprite

lol TO, thanks. Exactly. If my little girl is going to be late for the 5th time in a week, or worse, realises she hasn't called us for the 5th time that week, she doesn't like going home and getting a mouthful from me, or a punishment like being grounded for a couple of days.

4:33 pm

sprite

exactly, tyger, that is it.

4:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

tyger: email has no intonation. typed words can be didactic if not downright offensive. *real POOF*

4:34 pm

tygerbryght

I guess I shoulda kept my mouth shut?

4:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

no. I SHOULD HAVE

4:35 pm

sprite

not for me, tyger, I hear you and I think we mean the same thing.

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

but I have very rigid, old fashioned ideas about parenting - which my son shares

4:35 pm

sprite

and you too, TOwl, I think we agree on the essence.

4:35 pm

tygerbryght

and apparently my grandson feels the same. I don't think I need worry about his kids, when he has some

4:36 pm

sprite

being clear about rules and respect never hurt a child, as far as I have seen

4:36 pm

tygerbryght

but I always talked with my son, both before and after punishment

4:36 pm

tygerbryght

and he did the same with his kids

4:36 pm

onyx

hey y'all. what works for me and my family ain't for everyone. i try not to judge, people shouldn't judge me because i don't raise my son in a typical,orthodox way...

4:36 pm

sprite

we do that too.

4:37 pm

tygerbryght

hey, onyx

4:37 pm

sprite

hi onyx! No two families are the same, no two kids are the same. What I said was, it is pretty cruel to tell parents their kids are terrified for them, while it isn't true.

4:37 pm

onyx

as un-traditional as we are we still teach respect, mannersand disipline.

4:37 pm

tygerbryght

so long as kids seem okay, I try not to stick my nose in parents' methods. I don't like to see bruises, or see a kid nervous

4:38 pm

onyx

hey tiger

4:38 pm

onyx

so true tiger

4:38 pm

tygerbryght

I also hate to see kids act out in public

4:39 pm

tygerbryght

that is storing up trouble for when they're grown, and have to make their own way, if they don't know how to act

4:39 pm

Michnick

I am missing the ho4/7, any help (I am supposed to be in bed but how can I go to bed with only 15 left!?)

4:39 pm

sprite

bruises never! And nervous... well, when realising they have broken the rules for the ugh time that week should get a little bit of nervousness, I think. But not as a basic emotion.

4:39 pm

tygerbryght

right, sprite. I meant, as a basic manner

4:39 pm

sprite

ho4/7 rhymes with what you sing

4:40 pm

out of the shadows...

10:07 pm

kje

a lurker appeared....

10:07 pm

kje

casting a pall over the grid...

10:08 pm

and striking terror into the hearts of all the grid monkeys.

10:09 pm

10:13 pm

harpjane

10:14 pm

kje

dislodging tiles and leaving the poor babblers...

10:14 pm

kje

confused and frustrated.

10:15 pm

kje

The lurker turned his attention from the monkeys to the babblers, his real goal...

10:17 pm

danf63

...is to distract kje from Gustav...

10:17 pm

kje

and stealthily moved from cluer to cluer looking for the one believed to hold the...

10:27 pm

kje

who won tetris harp?

10:28 pm

danf63

I run a courier service right now. Most of my holiday firing was done when I ran a security company. I HATE when guards call me for hours on a holiday, then don't show up! If I have to work, andyou volunteered, you should be there too!

10:28 pm

danf63

Lurking is my OTHER job!

10:28 pm

kje

LOL

10:29 pm

harpjane

I used to manage a bunch of group homes. i was always amused by the number of new employees who were surprised that we didn't close on holidays....

10:29 pm

kje

are you done with the grid, dan?

10:29 pm

kje

you are kidding I hope harp??? what did they think you did with patients on holidays?

10:30 pm

danf63

well, billing is done, so I'm going to head home...rode my motorcycle to work today, and didn't bring my jacket, just the vest. See you all at the flip, I hope!

10:30 pm

hshliz

10:30 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

10:30 pm

hshliz

10:30 pm

kje

be careful... we have a name for those things dan

10:30 pm

danf63

yea hshliz! and *poof*

10:30 pm

harpjane

they didn't THINK, even when we told them during the interview "your first year you will have to work several holidays, so the longer-term staff can have the holiday off"

10:30 pm

kje

hi tyger!

10:30 pm

tygerbryght

I was just closing down windows, and saw the discussion: couldn't resist :)

10:31 pm

kje

woohoo hshliz!!!

10:31 pm

harpjane

if you are around the second year then YOU get the holidays off!

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

harp, what did they think the residents did on holidays??

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

hey, kje; yay, shs

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

ooops I meant hsh!

10:31 pm

kje

oh shoot - toe cramp

10:31 pm

tygerbryght

my fingers got tangled

10:32 pm

harpjane

not real good problem solvers, eh?

10:32 pm

hshliz

sok tyger. Call me liz and maybe it'll be easier?

10:33 pm

tygerbryght

if you choose to work in a service job that must provide 365-service, then you're automatically going to have to work some holidays

10:33 pm

tygerbryght

thx, liz :)

10:33 pm

kje

yes indeed....as I did today

10:33 pm

kje

and will be back there at 0630

10:33 pm

harpjane

absolutely! my dad was a meteorolgist and we grew up thinking it was normal to work holidays

10:34 pm

harpjane

therefore my family has a healthy attitude toward, I think\

10:34 pm

harpjane

very little "family drama" when someone does not show up for Christmas dinner

10:34 pm

hshliz

and if you patronize a store that's open on those holidays, always remember that the cashier/meat slicer etc. also has a family at home they would rather be with

10:34 pm

kje

ok - brb- need to strecth this thing before it kills me

10:35 pm

tygerbryght

there are too many things that simply cannot shut down, as well as those places - like Walmart - that choose not to

10:35 pm

harpjane

i also used to staff a women's shelter with volunteers, the jewish ladies were alwasy willing to work on Christmas

10:35 pm

hshliz

ouch.....how'd you know

10:35 pm

tygerbryght

yup, consideration for others is always worthwhile

10:36 pm

hshliz

very little of that going on in the checkout lines at Walmart

10:36 pm

kje

i don't like that so many nonessential places are staying open on holidays... can no one spend time with their families anymore???

10:36 pm

tygerbryght

it's greed on the part of the retailers, kje

10:36 pm

kje

but there are places that must be open (hospitals, police, firemen) but very few true essentials

10:37 pm

tygerbryght

I'll guarantee you none of the Waltons work on holidays

10:37 pm

harpjane

i can remember th good old days when most stores were closed EVERY Sunday

10:37 pm

hshliz

don't i wish

10:37 pm

kje

greed...the root of all evil

10:37 pm

tygerbryght

yup, kje. it's the LOVE of money that's the root of all evil

10:38 pm

hshliz

now they pay you extra to work on Sundays and holidays just to get you in there

10:38 pm

kje

I love chocolate chip cookies

10:38 pm

hshliz

amazing the people who jump at the extra money rather than spend time with family/friends

10:38 pm

harpjane

and they convince us that if we need something we should not wait!

10:39 pm

hshliz

credit cards are the root of all evil

10:39 pm

harpjane

i kind of enjoy working holidays actually, gives you some variety

10:39 pm

tygerbryght

I was about to close this window (getting ready to shut PC down) when I just had to speak up. nytol :)
