My writing was much nicer when I used a fountain pen. I remember when the first ballpoints came in and cost more than a fountain pen.

1:00 am

tygerbryght

1:00 am

rururocks

yes jilli I am so excited.. he is a half brother to my boy I have now..

1:00 am

tygerbryght

3:08 am

I don't even like lamb. I have not had good lamb in a very long time. I splurged and went to the good butcher

3:09 am

NZ lamb is almost as good as ours :)

3:10 am

My friends own a farm and I get lamb from them and I have to say it is much, much better than anything I have ever had from the butchers

3:11 am

herinfernallady

By Sprite.

3:12 am

herinfernallady

THis was one of those butchers that supplies speciality meat

3:13 am

spanner

They seem to be dying out now herin, as the supermarkets take over and undercut them so much. With the recession and everything I can see their sad demise

3:14 am

sandyloo

we kill our own sheep they are delicious

3:14 am

herinfernallady

I have to be honest and cant afford meat outside a supermarket

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Can i come over to your house Sandy

3:15 am

spanner

Not many can on a regular basis herin. I am lucky in my friends, they supply most meat and I keep my own fowl for meat and eggs

3:15 am

herinfernallady

I thought stuff it today

3:16 am

Good for you

3:20 am

sandyloo

ok have to cook dinner nicky is coming on now in her own name bbl

3:20 am

I dont think its possible to be truly self sufficient these days, we have such high expectations and such a wide range of food available all the time

3:20 am

herinfernallady

later Sandy

3:20 am

spanner

Later sandy

3:21 am

herinfernallady

I buy seasonal. I love leek but suck it up as it is not a summer veggie. OUr farming practices are really sh?? when it comes to food being wanted NOW> We need to realise that food is seasonal not all the time

3:22 am

spanner

Thats how I think herin, but my hubby still wont give up blueberries and strawberries in the winter!!

3:23 am

spanner

Its been lovely, but I have to go. Blue has started baying in the kitchen which translates as "Let me out, Ive got some rabbits to chase"!

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Well they are little plants you can grow them in your house but say apples and stuff no. OH and i have a demented lemon tree that has segmented like a mandarin

4:11 am

dcseain

which is why i'm up

4:11 am

dcseain

but it was enough to keep me from going back to sleep, as it kept picking up where it left off

4:11 am

yuck, hate those bad dreams, they leave you sort of in limbo

4:11 am

dcseain

and i was not finding the suspense restful

4:12 am

4:13 am

4:15 am

grannyrose

thanx for asking. going well here, work's a bitch ( so what else is new? ), hubby and i have picked up a bug, been on antibiotics for 5 weeks, can't seem to shake it. have some down time coming up, maybe the R&R will get rid of it.

4:15 am

dcseain

oh dear, best with it. They're sure it's bacterial?

4:17 am

grannyrose

no, they're not quite sure. Have had some really bad hayfever weather here. on the other hand, being on A.B's can also make your temperature swing. we have decided to give them a break, and see what happens.

4:19 am

dcseain

goodness, what bother. I do hope it goes away soon, whatever it may be

4:19 am

grannyrose

how about you? apart from the bad dreams?

4:20 am

dcseain

i'm taking a 21% pay cut due to changing contracts at the first of the year

4:20 am

grannyrose

* groan * that's terrible

4:20 am

dcseain

but, i'll be continuously employed, and get to leave behind a manager with lots of theory and no ability to usefully apply it.

4:21 am

dcseain

he doesn't have a clue what we do day-to-day

4:22 am

grannyrose

* bgrinning and nodding * know what you mean. sometimes i wonder whatever do these people think they are. can't manage to find their way out of a paper bag, with written directions.

4:23 am

dcseain

exactly. So, the new position is a good move, the money is disappointing, but survivable. and with the economy as it is, i'm lucky to have a job

4:23 am

liz, i work in the operating theatres of a hospital, in the recovery room

4:27 am

dcseain

my partner is a nurse, so also need not worry

4:28 am

grannyrose

liz, does this recession affect you, over in the UK?

4:29 am

grannyrose

yeah, dcs, us nurses are just about indispensible. * grin *

4:29 am

Lizsark

Wow Granny!

4:29 am

dcseain

very, very true, rose :)

4:30 am

Lizsark

Yes we are affected here and worse besides. We have had a dreadful week. Last Thursday 140 people got laid off in one fell swoop which if you equate that many people to the UK population it would be like 14 million people getting laid off in one fell swoop over there

4:31 am

grannyrose

just have to hold for another 4 years, then i can retire. looking forward to it very much. have been working since i was 18.

4:33 am

grannyrose

liz, how terrible!! i wish there was something we could do. over here, our government has given a large monetary handout to all pensioners and families with children, with the instructions to go out and buy, buy, buy. of course, many of them just want to pay their bills, not spend the money on unnecessary things.

4:34 am

dcseain

yes, bills before more things, most certainly

i'd really like to stay and chat some more, but my bed is singing my song. need any clues before i go? quite happy to stay and clue if you would like them?

4:38 am

dcseain

sleep well, rose; i'm good for now

4:39 am

dcseain

i wonder why that fire truck finds it necessary to use the siren at this hour- the sun's not up for at least an hour yet

4:40 am

thanx dcs, prayers and hopes for a brighter future for you.will check out that site. talk to you soon. stay well, and sleep without those bad dreams.

Gosh DC I can't believe your government did that! The trouble we are having is all to do with our government

4:47 am

hello Liz

4:48 am

Lizsark

Sorry DC - you were saying they gave handouts to the people affected

4:48 am

dcseain

under the current administration, i'm bound to believe most anything.

4:48 am

jacq

the problem isn't really with current governments, this situation has been building since the 80's

4:48 am

Lizsark

oh god sorry no - it was Granny!!!

4:48 am

dcseain

oh, no, that was in Australia, rose said that :)

G M all

4:49 am

dcseain

hi, chickie

4:49 am

Lizsark

It is here Jacq! Our problems on Sark are entirely to do with the government

4:49 am

jacq

in order to fuel the economy, people must spend spend spend, if they save it doesn't keep the infrastructure alive

4:50 am

jacq

no Liz, this was an inevitable crash, it was just waiting to happen, the monetary policies of the 80's the the greedy generation couldn't be suported any longer

4:50 am

dcseain

wether we spend or not, gov't still gets taxes

4:50 am

chickieo8

hi D C This grid looks tricky.

4:50 am

Lizsark

The job losses and economic breakdown here are not to do with the recession - I quote from a newspaper - "For a few precious hours there was a sense of jubilation and victory on Sark yesterday as, on a bright blue day, the tiny Channel island celebrated its first democratic election after 150 years of feudal rule.

But joy turned to despair for many, and uncertainty for all, when the Barclay brothers, owners of the Telegraph and the Ritz hotel, reacted to their disappointment at failing to get their chosen candidates elected by announcing they were ceasing their multimillion-pound operation on the island and laying off 140 workers. "

4:50 am

o-o

and how do you suppose those without funds or job even are to spend spend spend?

4:50 am

dcseain

i'm 2/3 done in about an hour, chickit.

4:51 am

Lizsark

That is the equivalent of 14 million people losing their jobs in the UK overnight

4:51 am

jacq

yes they do, but over here we have had a decrease in vat, all of 2%, which is nothing to the ordinary jane doe trying to buy food for her kids, now the super rich buying their new porsche, they save a fair bit lol

4:51 am

chickieo8

oh ok that sounds pretty good :)

4:51 am

jacq

where i lived back home has just lost one of it's largest and oldest employers, in a twon where there is no industry, very little manufacturing, and an increasing population

4:52 am

dcseain

liz, that reads rather like they're hiding behind he elections to provide distraction from their layoffs

4:52 am

jacq

i's scary

4:52 am

dcseain

why a decrease in VAT?

4:52 am

Lizsark

It happens whenever they dont get their o3wn way DC. Unfortunately this seems more final this time. They have been likened to babies throwing toys out of the pram

4:53 am

Morning all......Liz.....is Sark not one of the Channel Isles?

4:53 am

Hi Jacq.:)

6:41 am

So, if you have no internet, how are you going to know what the grid is. Or are you going to make up your own (some sad people do that on holiday, but only the really addicted ones)

Germs thrive when people are in close proximity so when it is yucky outside (or in schools/day care sites) the germs are shared nicely, then brought home.

7:03 am

periwinkle

7:03 am

bichon

Dictionary of Americanisms - NETOP.

10:54 am

periwinkle

carleekat

its a NATURAL component in the fermentation process

10:55 am

periwinkle

yuk is right, Judi

10:58 am

carleekat

dried fruit has HIGh concentration of sulphites...raisins....up to 250 PPM...it is typically tannins that trigger migraines... and are caused by the phenolic flavenoids related to tannins of RED grapes

10:58 am

Anniebrook

I love a glass of wine or 2 or 3 with dinner...thank goodness, I am not of that 1%..

10:59 am

periwinkle

ah, the tannins then

10:59 am

my plan is to take this bacon weave cheese wrap, and batter + deep-fry it, adding powdered sugar + maple syrup.
:)

10:59 am

crosshair

se with mine its endless what you can do.just imagine 3 cooked weaves as part of a clubhouse sammy

12:15 pm

I find the Babbler's Anon format to be counter intuitive and difficult to maneuver in :(

12:15 pm

mirrine

aww.

12:15 pm

Atalante

it's useful at a pinch

12:15 pm

mirrine

I'm having trouble because I am missing two words. I went through the list on BA and I thought I had all but one.

12:16 pm

mirrine

So now I have to do it again.

12:16 pm

mirrine

Or, I suppose, I could go work on my paper.

MonkeyGames

Awww, darn! I was looking forward to meeting her. Oh well. She had my number-- but today is my busiest day anyway and it wouldn't hae worked out.

Too bad I missed her though.

Oh the guiy from the company whose truck hit the bakfiets says he will pay for all repairs and hopes that wills atisfy me. It will. There is no way to prove the truck DID bump the trike so I think this is a reasonable settlement.

1:14 pm

spacemonkeyz88

thanks everyone for the clues

1:14 pm

MonkeyGames

Sure thing!

1:15 pm

FMitch

That is a satisfactory outcome MG and a goo dend to the event

1:15 pm

gapeach

Hi there jessmom! Well, I just logged on and find that we do indeed have Licketys list....yesterdays.

1:15 pm

MonkeyGames

I agree. Since there were no injuries and the damage is minimal but a hassle to repair, I think this worked out nicely. Sure scared me though, at th etime.

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi gapeach!

1:16 pm

jessmom

hi peach!

1:16 pm

gapeach

I see we have some newcomers, eh?

1:16 pm

Hey there Monkey

1:16 pm

I should imagine - I looked at the link to the monster trock!!

1:16 pm

MonkeyGames

Spacemonkeyz joined yesterday and seems quite cool.

1:16 pm

gapeach

Games. Meant to get that all in one line.

1:17 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oh sorry :D

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

I've been on a couple years, Space.

1:17 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oops heehee

1:17 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oops heehee

1:17 pm

MonkeyGames

Wait until we also have Blue Monkey and Lil Monkey on...#

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

And Mayne Guy-- people call him MG too... it can get fun.

1:18 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oh geez.. maybe i should change my name then lol

1:18 pm

MonkeyGames

That's what I thought at forst too; but nah. Thing is though I use some form of Monkety for lots of stuff; turns out to also be a Babble in-joke thing too though. Who knew?

1:19 pm

MonkeyGames

Where are you, Space?

1:19 pm

spacemonkeyz88

what? lol

1:20 pm

MonkeyGames

Turns out finding a word by fiddling with random combo's is Monkeying, and people say their monkeys are working hard! I did NOT know that when I picked my screen name.

1:21 pm

spacemonkeyz88

well i didn't know that either lol

1:21 pm

MonkeyGames

It's just that in teh Chinese calendar me, my brother, and my son are all monkeys, and for other reasons as well I just use Monkey a lot in screen names and the like.

1:21 pm

spacemonkeyz88

the idea for my name came from that little animated movie where the monkeys go into space. i thought it was cute :)

1:21 pm

spacemonkeyz88

i forgot the name of it

1:22 pm

MonkeyGames

I don't knoiw that I've seen it! Is it online somewhere? Sounds fun.

1:22 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oh yeah! its called Space Chimps! lol

1:22 pm

Storm RIDA

is it spacechimps?

1:23 pm

Storm RIDA

uh rply too late

1:23 pm

spacemonkeyz88

i'm sure you can find it.... you can find anything

1:23 pm

spacemonkeyz88

lol

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll look it up! But I'm sorry to say that one thing you'll learn about me is that I am a Raging Pedant. Chimps are not monkeys.

1:23 pm

MonkeyGames

I know it's annoying. Can't help it.

1:24 pm

spacemonkeyz88

yeah well, i like the word monkey better than chimp ;p

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Will definitely look taht one up.

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

That is a fair point. And in Dutch both are "apen" (one aap, two apen), so I guess it's all semantics anyway...

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Of course, in Dutch even lemurs are apen...

1:25 pm

Storm RIDA

i liek that "apen"

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Not sure about tarsiers, bushbabies, or lorises...

1:25 pm

spacemonkeyz88

oh geez, i gotta go for now.. will probably be back later. I have to get another lease for my dog. He chewed the one that i have now... happy babbling everyone!!

1:26 pm

Storm RIDA

whuts a tarsier?

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Bye Space! I have to go in two minutes myself-- House is on.

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

A tarsier is a bizarre, very cool primate. Do an image search. They're trippy.

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

Take a good look at the middle finger-- they use it to gather insects from holes in tree bark.

1:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and another grid too small for fun! 8-(

1:27 pm

Storm RIDA

then, wats a lorises?

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Another super cool primate with a poisonous bite. Google that too. I used to work with them. They are also highly trippy.

1:28 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi Gwen! It's better than yesterday's, anyway.

1:28 pm

Storm RIDA

1:29 pm

3:08 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Jilli, its yesterdays grid.

Vicuna

Tsk tsk, jesdraggon. DOn't you know that toys are an investment, not something to *gasp* play with?!

3:30 pm

Haz1558

That's where all the experts would draw in breath and start to shake their heads sadly. Play with toys?

3:30 pm

jesdraggon

so some are in fairly rough shape, but some of them are practically new; just been sitting in a box for years.

3:30 pm

jesdraggon

i'm beginning to see that, vic!

that's it for me folks - fireworks - is lickety off for the xmas break?

3:33 pm

Haz1558

Apparently Pendelphin (pendelfin?) figures are collectable as well. I threw all mine out years ago thinking they were too twee for words.

3:33 pm

Vicuna

Yay for Kazzer!

3:34 pm

o-o

do you have a 5 before the 7?

3:34 pm

Vicuna

The twee-er the better when it comes to collectibles, Haz.

3:34 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations Kazzer - not sure what's happening with Lickety. Alien dingo kidnap again?

3:34 pm

Hi there babble buds

3:35 pm

Kazzer99

babble are you asking about the qa

3:35 pm

Kazzer99

oops qs

3:35 pm

Atalante

now we just need Lori(Canada) and the witches coven will be complete

3:35 pm

Haz1558

I do have some Lilliput Lane - they're just about on the acceptable side of twee. Pendelphins were rabbits peeking out of blankets and things.

3:35 pm

Haz1558

You've never spoken a truer word, Ata.

3:35 pm

o-o

then add, dined; bird; alps: m*un**in

BabbleRabble...I have ending in re; te

3:36 pm

Hi Babblers

3:36 pm

Atalante

and HUmmel? Hammel?? thT stuff sells for sooo much now

3:36 pm

Haz1558

Husband has discovered an old toy (literally in the attic). Cricket subbuteo, if you please.

3:36 pm

Vicuna

Precious Moments. Whoooeeee.

3:37 pm

gapeach

ta;and te. Thanks

3:37 pm

FMitch

Ah but the value and what you can actually sell at are poles apart I think

3:37 pm

Haz1558

Hummel is INCREDIBLY overpriced. Sister in law has some. Swarowski crystal is another eye opener.

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

hold on to the breyer horses, just checked ebay....people are selling for 6 dollars...and of course they cost more even then.

3:37 pm

Haz1558

Hello chiley!

3:37 pm

Atalante

and Lladro - which is nicer, but still overpriced

3:37 pm

chiley

I have a pretty sizeable collection of Swarovski

3:38 pm

FMitch

Cranberry glass has lost about 40% of it value for example

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

Lladro is nicer than Hummel...I agree.

3:38 pm

Haz1558

Yes, I could live with Lladro.

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

I have nothing of value.

3:38 pm

Kazzer99

i am off to do rest of xmas wrapping - found part of ma in laws present so need to sort it out before hub goes to visit next week - need to find a box - see you all tomorrow

3:38 pm

BettyAnne

Clue please for the single N top right.

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

Well, i do have a lot of the pink glass..

3:38 pm

Haz1558

But chiley, it's lovely but don't you find it to be incredibly expensive for what you get?

3:38 pm

Haz1558

I've vaguely starting to collect some Hornsea. I need something new and interesting to look out for in charity shops!

3:39 pm

jakes-mum

as we are all talking of things worth, does anyone know how much original weebles are worth?

3:39 pm

chiley

Yes it is. I haven't bought any new pieces in ages. My husband usually gives me one piece each Christmas.

3:39 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks Haz

3:39 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, BettyAnne.

3:40 pm

jakes-mum

my mate has got a load of them including the toys they went on like the merry go round etc and wants me to ebay them for her

3:40 pm

Haz1558

I've got a few pieces of Swarowski, mostly presents because when I look at the prices I kind of gasp and go pale.

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

Haz thanksf or the ne clue!

3:40 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, red.

3:40 pm

jakes-mum

not even sure where to start price wise with them

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

if you look at ebay you will get an idea JM.

3:40 pm

Haz1558

I've no idea about weebles.

3:40 pm

Haz1558

Hello cross.

3:41 pm

crosshair

speaking of glass etc,my better half used to collect royal doulton caracture mugs.but you ladies sound serious lol

3:41 pm

FMitch

crossy - check yr email later, no rush :)

3:41 pm

chiley

I started collecting Swarovski years ago, before it became a "hot" item.

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

weebles obble but they dont fall down.

3:41 pm

crosshair

kk fm:)

3:41 pm

jakes-mum

see i always know where i stand with value, i collect money lol

3:41 pm

Atalante

FM, check my flickr for new sily :)

3:41 pm

Haz1558

Your collection is probably worth quite a lot, chiley, but to be honest, if you love it for its own sake, its value in monetary terms shouldn't matter.

3:41 pm

chiley

For a change of subject.....do you think Scarlet went to a 12-step program to break her addiction to Babble?

3:42 pm

Haz1558

I don't know how she managed it chiley.

3:42 pm

littlebit

that's why we named our cat "weeble"!

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

chile, I see her occasionally on facebook.

3:42 pm

crosshair

there is no babble "addiction" have quit hunderes of times;0

3:42 pm

Haz1558

Maybe she just found too many other things to do, or something? A kind of strange notion, I know.

3:42 pm

FMitch

lol chiley - she has just been everso busy - carleekat and her family are going to spent the holiday with her though

3:43 pm

gapeach

Thanks BabbleRabble for your help...I'll keep trying...it's my last one to finish. Bummer, huh?

3:43 pm

crosshair

hundreds even

3:43 pm

chiley

Haz, some of my pieces are quite old. But I wouldn't sell them.

3:43 pm

chiley

Are they actually staying WITH her? If so, Scarlet is a much better person than I am to have people in

3:44 pm

Haz1558

No, I wouldn't sell them either - you value them for what they are rather than what they represent in money terms.

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

I think they are indeed.

3:44 pm

o-o

ga, you are missing the qu + sea eagle

3:44 pm

Atalante

no, they aren't

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

beter not to sell unless one is desperate.

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhh Ata corrects me again...

3:44 pm

Haz1558

I'm always interested to see people's reactions on Antiques Roadshow -those who say 'Well, we love it and it's going nowhere' are my favourites.

3:44 pm

My crystal cabinet looks so pretty at Christmas. It's mirrored and I place a few small red ornaments on the shelves. It really brightens it up.

3:46 pm

jakes-mum

i refuse to believe there are any 8 words

3:46 pm

crosshair

lol haz i love watching that show every time a nice old tiffany oil lamp or something similar comes up and they lay a $80,000 dollar value on the thing and people hit the floor;)

3:46 pm

redturtlehead

the one eight is fatherly.

3:47 pm

Haz1558

We have lovely crystal in Ireland - it's fun to watch it being blown etc.

3:47 pm

jakes-mum

'mulls over fatherly'

3:47 pm

Atalante

AR always overvalues too

3:47 pm

gapeach

BabbleRabble, I'm sure that you are right...I'm not spelling it correctly, evidently. Thank you so much for working with me.

3:47 pm

chiley

the other 8 is a brand of fountain pen, or a guy who goes to the well

3:48 pm

6:00 pm

meliae

They sound like typical kiddos. Homemade cookies might be less expensive Herin and appreciated as much. Kids are rather horrid.

6:34 pm

redturtlehead

LOL Pinik. No snow here. And I guess I must admit even if it did snow...I still have to go to work.

6:34 pm

featherbee

we're waiting on snow

6:34 pm

Pinikula

oh, poor, red! "Eye sowwy!"

6:34 pm

herinfernallady

I don't know them that well. Just enough enough to knock on the door and say '' hi here is a letter we got'' or ''hi im poisoning the side of the property near your yard is that ok''

6:34 pm

featherbee

it's supposed to start at 6am, and be worst from 12-2, with rates of 1-2 inches an hour. so i'm thinking they'll drag us in to school just to turn around and go home again, so they don't have to use up a snowday.

6:34 pm

redturtlehead

Its ok, I am actually so amazed at the snoww the country is getting it really hits home with me how big the US is as it was er 81 degrees here today.

6:34 pm

featherbee

6:35 pm

stidmama

our district used up three snow days this week. Which, since they don't actually build any in to the schedule means the kids are now going three more days into the summer.

6:35 pm

and lady -- if you can afford it, cheap comic books and crayons are good for kids that age. They need (and like) to scribble to develop their fine motor skills. Parents can't keep enough supplies.

6:37 pm

8:22 pm

nrkii

I wish my just departed boss could hire me... pretty sure he wouldn't have anything for me

8:22 pm

DR1965

in the last 2 years I had 5 bosses at my old CO

8:22 pm

Jacula

New bosses try to do their best but end up being New Brooms whatever they do.

8:22 pm

nrkii

I'm good at what I do, but I tend to have a "love me or hate me" interaction with bosses

8:23 pm

DR1965

that stinks! I am sorry for you

8:23 pm

nrkii

I hardly ever end up with a boss who is ambivalent

8:23 pm

nrkii

about me

8:23 pm

DR1965

I know what you mean

8:23 pm

nrkii

well, right now I just want to keep working as long as I can, and if I lose the job, I'll go from there and figure it out

8:24 pm

Jacula

nrkii - not having been presented with you in boss mode, I could not possibly comment.

8:24 pm

nrkii

but it's been a depressing week

8:24 pm

DR1965

sounds like it.

8:24 pm

nrkii

well Jac, they all SHOULD love me, and silly them if they don't!

8:24 pm

Jacula

Hey girl! You just keep on keeping on. That's all any of us can do.

8:24 pm

DR1965

How is your shoulder doing?

8:25 pm

nrkii

seriously, my best bosses have always been the ones who are very frank with me, tell me what they want me to do differently, and then give me space to do that

8:25 pm

DR1965

My old bosses were jerks then they called me and wanted to have lunch with me after departed

8:25 pm

nrkii

my shoulder is getting better - strange sharp pains in my arm started this evening, but not too bad -- seems like I might be stressing a nerve somehow so will ride it out

8:26 pm

Jacula

You mean our version of that, nrkii, even if it doesn't gel with their own.

8:26 pm

nrkii

DR, that's pathetic behavior!

8:26 pm

DR1965

yep! I told them NO WAY

8:26 pm

Jacula

Erm, what DR? Don't think so.

8:27 pm

DR1965

It does sound like nerve pain Nrkii

8:27 pm

nrkii

I try to take them pretty literally -- the more directive they are in that situation, the better I do...

8:27 pm

DR1965

They wanted me to help the new person with my processes

8:27 pm

nrkii

in general I don't like too much direction, but when it comes to my boss coaching me on how he/she wants me to improve, the more specific they are the better

8:28 pm

nrkii

DR, that's crazy, glad you told them no

8:29 pm

Jacula

If you were not competitive in nature, nrkii, you would not be on this site. However, enough is enough sometimes, in real life!

8:29 pm

DR1965

oh- dinners ready- bbl

8:29 pm

tijani

my lickety's still isn't loading anybhelp

8:29 pm

nrkii

see ya DR

8:29 pm

DR1965

Good Luck Nrkii

8:29 pm

tijani

typo

8:30 pm

DR1965

bye Jac

8:30 pm

nrkii

I'm very competitive, but I'm first to admit when someone points out that I

8:30 pm

nrkii

'm wrong

8:30 pm

nrkii

oops

8:31 pm

Jacula

I'm not sure I would respond to the 'how the boss wants me to improve' thing of the boss is a total tit, tied to the company line.

8:31 pm

nrkii

Jac, that's true, but the good ones have pointed out honest-to-goodness imperfections in how I work, so haven't asked for anything unreasonable

8:32 pm

nrkii

hard to do, yes, but not unreasonable to expect

8:32 pm

Jacula

I dn't mind been guided for the 'best way' to place myself somewhere, but I won't be dictated to and I will never deviate from my true self. Awfu; Pagan., aren't I?

8:34 pm

Jacula

Toe the line to make money, but onmce you've made money, drop out.

8:34 pm

nrkii

nah... I agree with you ... my thing is that I have a very strong personality when I interact with others, and sometimes I have to remember that not everyone loves to deal with that... especially junior people who can't "fight back" and end up unhappy

8:34 pm

nrkii

I have to check the assertiveness at the door sometimes

8:35 pm

Jacula

LOL, my ex hub tried that once, the drop out thing. It didn't work for him.

8:35 pm

nrkii

yeah, I never have enough money to drop out

8:35 pm

nrkii

wish I did

8:35 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone

8:36 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

8:36 pm

nrkii

hi Min!

8:36 pm

Jacula

May I now request that you either read Chales Dickens' 'Little Dorrit' or watch latest TV version of it?

8:37 pm

Jacula

ChaRles Dickens, I meant.

8:37 pm

nrkii

really? never read it

8:39 pm

Jacula

nrkii - Dickens is one of the great writers of our times. He wrote about love, friendship, devilry and raged against the unfair politics and class systems of the times,

8:39 pm

nrkii

I've read some Dickens, but not all

8:40 pm

Jacula

Which is why he is still one of our greatest writers.

8:40 pm

nrkii

some Pickwick, Tale of Two Cities, Great Ex., Christmas Carol...

8:40 pm

Mom01

my son just finished reading Great Expectations

8:40 pm

nrkii

that might be it

8:41 pm

nrkii

fireworks!

8:42 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations nrkii on your fireworks!Good for you

8:42 pm

Jacula

Read Little Dorrit, pulished in instalments between 1855 and 1857. That was NOT fiction.

8:42 pm

Minveryork

Hello Mom01!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:42 pm

nrkii

8:42 pm

Mom01

8:42 pm

Jacula

Well done nrkii!

8:43 pm

Jacula

8:44 pm

nrkii

8:44 pm

rosalie4

8:44 pm

nrkii

have a good night everyone!

8:44 pm

Mom01

night nrkii

8:44 pm

Jacula

Actually, mot of Dickens work wasn't totally fiction, which is why he's still read today.

8:44 pm

Mom01

98 words

8:45 pm

nrkii

thanks for chatting with me Jacula ... Little Dorrit now on list to read

8:46 pm

Jacula

8:46 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye nrkii! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

8:46 pm

nrkii

(yawn, mental stretching as real stretching not possible, and poof!)

8:50 pm

Jacula

No more clues needed now?

8:50 pm

Jacula

If not, I'll wander off to bed.

8:52 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Jacula! Thank you for your list.It helped out

8:52 pm

Jacula

I just got scared, scannin through my photo files when I saw a picof me at 21 and one of my daughterat 22.

8:53 pm

Jacula

Then, I thought, it's time to go back to bed, you silly cow!

8:54 pm

Jacula

So I am and I will! Happy Babbling all. See you later in the next grid.x

hello again... APRIL!!!! are you still here?

9:12 pm

lbdawger

hi stid! hi everyone.

9:13 pm

AprilD

Hi! just getting off though. How did your quarter go?

9:13 pm

stidmama

it was AWFUL! much too much... sorry we never connected. You?

9:13 pm

AprilD

mine was horrible beyond.

9:14 pm

stidmama

((((hugs)))) sorry to hear that

9:14 pm

AprilD

every bad thing (almost) that could happen did.

9:14 pm

stidmama

and are you stuck at home now? we are... got out for just a little today, and almost didn't make it home!

9:14 pm

stidmama

college isn't all it's cracked up to be, that's for sure

9:14 pm

AprilD

yah, stuck

9:15 pm

AprilD

aww stid, sorry to hear that

9:15 pm

lbdawger

(((APRIL and STID)))

9:15 pm

stidmama

I am only taking one halftime program this next quarter though, that will be nice. And concentrating on getting ready for the rest of the tests I have to take for endorsements

9:16 pm

stidmama

AND working on getting the application for the master's program pulled together

9:16 pm

AprilD

taking too much can make life really miserable for sure.

9:16 pm

AprilD

thanks lbd

9:16 pm

stidmama

I don't know how other people manage to hold down a job and go to school... I really don't.

9:16 pm

stidmama

(((LBD))) thanks.

9:16 pm

lbdawger

btdt, wore out the t-shirt! college isn't for the faint of heart, that's for sure.

9:17 pm

AprilD

well, my mom can only get late stage lung cancer once, my brother can only die once, my cat can only die once, and I'll never have to put another restraining order on my husband again I hope. One quarter, what else could happen?

9:17 pm

stidmama

on the other hand, I survived full-time + 3 credits, even if it demonstrates i am not too bright! LOL

9:17 pm

stidmama

oh april. (((((((hugs))))))) I had no idea. *sad mama look*

9:18 pm

lbdawger

oh April, what a horrible time for you!

9:18 pm

AprilD

it has been terrible. and I got an inner ear virus while in California over t-day week visiting my mom. Hello, I drove and it causes a lot of vertigo. what a year. It is getting better, I know it.

9:19 pm

AprilD

stid, I have never understood working and full time school. Those people are masochists.

9:19 pm

stidmama

*sending VERY POSITIVE energy to April*

9:19 pm

lbdawger

sending you t's and p's for a better rest of the year and for the new year too

9:19 pm

AprilD

thanks, I need it

9:20 pm

stidmama

are you going to see your mother over this break as well?

9:20 pm

AprilD

The new year always feels really hopeful to me.

9:20 pm

pam

hi, all....

9:20 pm

lbdawger

hi Pam

9:20 pm

pam

just reading back a little... April, I am so sorry for your losses and for your mom's diagnosis, and the TRO....((())))

9:21 pm

AprilD

no stid, I need to move and she wasn't sure if she was heading to Utah or not. She just finished an aggressive 7 weeks of daily radiation and weekly chemo, and now she has an internal fungal thing happening so, who knows.

9:21 pm

stidmama

hey pam!

9:21 pm

pam

Stid, hope your next quarter is better, too!

9:21 pm

pam

Hi, stid and lbd!

9:21 pm

AprilD

thanks pam

9:22 pm

AprilD

and it is a long drive...I still have the vertigo from the inner ear virus

9:23 pm

stidmama

it will be, Pam. smaller credit load and something I already have some knowledge in. It will feel like child's play!

9:23 pm

pam

oh, good, stid.

9:23 pm

stidmama

do you need any help with the moving, april?

9:23 pm

stidmama

wow. *sending positive energy to your mom, too*

9:23 pm

lbdawger

where are you moving to, april?

9:24 pm

AprilD

I am taking about 16 graduate credits, double time for a grad. I failed a class this quarter and failed to do my contract. I need to make it all up. When I move the anxiety will release a bit and I can focus on school.

9:24 pm

AprilD

I don't but thanks stid, I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff and have a couple of friends to help.

9:24 pm

stidmama

oh april. wow.

9:25 pm

stidmama

well let me know when you get settled in. I owe you coffee still

9:25 pm

AprilD

I think I'll be heading up to Shoreline, North of Seattle. I don't have to commute daily to Olympia and the commute won't be much longer than from where I am now.

9:25 pm

lbdawger

can you talk to the profs and see if you can get an I grade instead of the fail?

9:25 pm

AprilD

stid, we MUST connect!

9:25 pm

stidmama

LOL then we will, april.

9:25 pm

AprilD

no lbd, grad credits are get them all or none. Incompletes just don't happen at this level.

9:26 pm

lbdawger

i understand, but you've had extenuating circumstances.

9:26 pm

AprilD

I am ok with the loss of credits. It is a small thing really at this point.

9:26 pm

AprilD

I am ok with the loss of credits. It is a small thing really at this point.

9:26 pm

AprilD

twice, wow, I am passionate about it!

9:26 pm

stidmama

you're doing the MPA, I think?

9:27 pm

stidmama

LOL April!

9:27 pm

AprilD

yah

9:27 pm

AprilD

finishing (hopefully) by summer. I think I will have to do a class in summer but will be able to walk with my cohort in June.

9:27 pm

stidmama

that's an intense program when the sun is shining and the birds are singing!

9:27 pm

stidmama

I will come to graduation, just for you!

9:28 pm

AprilD

awww thanks!

9:28 pm

stidmama

June 12, I think...

9:28 pm

AprilD

I still need that blasted internship. I really want one with a Union but they want a lot of research experience prior to an internship. I need the internship to get the experience.

9:28 pm

lbdawger

i think i prefer the intense programs over the extended ones. I did my masters in a 12 month program.

9:29 pm

AprilD

I am going to partly knit my hat. It will have balls of yarn and knitting needles hanging off of it

9:29 pm

lbdawger

lol

9:29 pm

AprilD

mine is a 2-3 year program.

9:29 pm

AprilD

12 months, that is intense

9:30 pm

lbdawger

no time for fooling around or anything else. writing the thesis in a short time slot was the killer

9:30 pm

stidmama

that old catch 22, eh April? experience needed before you get the job...

9:30 pm

stidmama

wow LBD. that must have been a killer schedule

9:31 pm

stidmama

oops. I am typing slow.

9:31 pm

AprilD

fortunately, a thesis isn't required for my program, though we do a capstone. We can do a thesis if we want, most choose the capstone though.

9:31 pm

AprilD

yah stid...sucky

9:31 pm

lbdawger

wish i would have had that option.

9:32 pm

AprilD

I am just glad I don't have the tests to prove I learned something at the end of this degree.

9:32 pm

AprilD

what are they called? comps?

9:32 pm

lbdawger

lots have changed since '78. comps and defense

9:32 pm

AprilD

stid, you'll probably need comps right?

9:33 pm

stidmama

true, tests are sucky. I was glad my program didn't have a big final test. just the presentation and paper.

9:33 pm

stidmama

i don't think the Master's in Teaching does comps. But i might be wrong.

9:33 pm

stidmama

The student teaching experiences seem to take the place of comps. I believe we also write theses.

9:34 pm

lbdawger

a lot of education programs are going for program development, projects and such over having to write a thesis.

9:34 pm

AprilD

get ready for tons of presentations in your grad program stid

9:34 pm

AprilD

lbd, what is your degree(s) in?

9:34 pm

stidmama

presentations don't bother me... I rather enjoy them!

9:34 pm

lbdawger

counseling

9:35 pm

AprilD

msw?

9:35 pm

lbdawger

masters in guidance and counseling, a psych degree

9:35 pm

AprilD

and stid, when did you move to Canada? :)

9:36 pm

AprilD

ahh

9:36 pm

featherbee

my group at grad school had to create portfolios rather than do a thesis

9:36 pm

stidmama

LOL I am anticipating my trip to Victoria with the elder stidkid in a week -- we are staying three nights!

9:36 pm

featherbee

came in useful for subsequent job interviews! had to rearrange it a tad, but was a nice head start.

9:36 pm

stidmama

Got a really good deal with the victoria clipper.

9:36 pm

lbdawger

hi feather

9:37 pm

stidmama

He has always wanted to sail up through the San Juans

9:37 pm

AprilD

again? jealous!

9:37 pm

AprilD

yah a portfolio would be a great start to the career

9:37 pm

lbdawger

i think stid has wheels instead of feet

9:37 pm

stidmama

Well -- he wasn't allowed to accompany us this summer, wanted him to know he can earn things like that.

9:37 pm

AprilD

Victoria is so lovely

9:38 pm

AprilD

ahh good reward

9:38 pm

stidmama

I would like to have a portfolio of ideas ready when I am done with the master's program... make that first year teaching just a little easier.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

very nice reward, for both kid and mama

9:39 pm

AprilD

people ask me what I've learned or what kind of research skills I have and I don't know what to say. A portfolio is a great idea as a final assignment

9:39 pm

lbdawger

what grade do you want to teach, stid?

9:39 pm

featherbee

this was more a portfolio of grad work completed, showing student teaching work, pictures of projects with students, lesson plans, etc. also had philosophy of education stuff, course work, etc.

9:39 pm

stidmama

*wry grin* except, I don't enjoy traveling. Just enjoy seeing my friends

9:39 pm

stidmama

that is a good thing to have, feather!

9:40 pm

lbdawger

April, you could still pull one together so you have those answers at your fingertips

9:40 pm

AprilD

yah, if I had a portfolio of all my work I could just show them

9:40 pm

AprilD

considering it lbd, I like the idea a lot.

9:40 pm

stidmama

I am looking at middle school, LBD. turns out i actually really enjoy them! But also going to get the endorsement for K-6

9:40 pm

featherbee

it was sort of like a deluxe resume, with show and tell items

9:40 pm

AprilD

ok, off to watch some Deep Space Nine (season 2. I bought the season)

9:41 pm

stidmama

Later April! (we are watchign the first star trek movie)

9:41 pm

lbdawger

i loved middle school. those kids are so much fun. they're old enough not to be clingy, but still respectful or fearful of teachers! lol

9:41 pm

AprilD

sci fi geeks unite!

9:41 pm

lbdawger

night, April, stay warm

9:41 pm

AprilD

maybe cya at the flip.

9:42 pm

stidmama

seeya!

9:43 pm

lbdawger

how much snow have you got, stid? we're getting close to a foot.

9:43 pm

stidmama

We got about 6 inches this afternoon as the temps were falling.

9:44 pm

stidmama

For us, that is a HUGE amount.

9:44 pm

lbdawger

that is a huge amount! it's been a while since we've had this much snow in town.

9:45 pm

stidmama

yes, I guess Spokane declared a red alert for the snow... it shut the whole city down when the got 20+ inches in 24 hours

9:46 pm

stidmama

I am glad to be on THIS side of the mountains, for sure!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

I heard that on the news! I wonder how Jes is faring. she lives north of spokane

9:46 pm

lbdawger

I heard that on the news! I wonder how Jes is faring. she lives north of spokane

9:46 pm

Kazozz

hi all, back for my last 15! Snowing here too finally!

9:46 pm

lbdawger

oops, excuse the burp

9:46 pm

stidmama

I suspect Jes is doing okay, she is pretty tough I think.

9:47 pm

stidmama

hello kazozz! I heard that Vegas got quite a bit?

9:47 pm

lbdawger

hi Kaz

9:47 pm

Kazozz

I saw on the news they had some...most unusual for them!

9:48 pm

lbdawger

Kaz, your neck of the woods often gets snow...feet of snow! do you ski?

9:48 pm

stidmama

I would have thought that Tahoe got it first though --

9:50 pm

Kazozz

I do ski, and although not a huge fan of the snow, we really needed it, and its here now
with a vengeance!

9:50 pm

stidmama

ooooh Vee-ger has just reached Earth in the movie!

9:51 pm

lbdawger

i love that first star trek movie!

9:51 pm

stidmama

I haven't seen it in its entirety before. This is interesting

9:51 pm

lbdawger

hubby and i want to take up snow shoeing. easier on the old knees

9:51 pm

lbdawger

brb

9:52 pm

Kazozz

lb snow shoeing is way too hard for me lol

9:53 pm

stidmama

I have never tried snow shoeing... I like XC skiing though

9:53 pm

Kazozz

thats hard too lol

9:56 pm

phandmd

may I have a clue for the AW pls

9:56 pm

stidmama

9:56 pm

harpjane

be sure to read my Christmas rant, if you haven't yet!

9:57 pm

stidmama

hello harp!

9:57 pm

stidmama

*reading rant*

9:57 pm

phandmd

thnx, Stidmama

9:58 pm

stidmama

*grin* as a "nonbeliever" I thank you!

9:58 pm

stidmama

any time phand. need more?

9:58 pm

harpjane

it's quite popular with those messy heathens!

9:59 pm

phandmd

yes CE 6 pls

9:59 pm

stidmama

CE 6 is CE + the four-letter word that means to rank something or give it a grade of some sort

10:00 pm

stidmama

it sounds like a knife with a jagged edge

10:00 pm

jillibus

harp, just read your rant and it's a good one, but it would be more readable if you converted it to Wordpad instead of Word, to get rid of the curly quotes and such exoticisms I learned about a while ago :-)

10:00 pm

harpjane

for a small grid, i'm finding this one is quite easy!

10:00 pm

stidmama

hello jill!

10:00 pm

harpjane

thanks jill, i'll try that!

10:00 pm

stidmama

yes, it was a friendly grid toda

10:00 pm

stidmama

or today

10:01 pm

jillibus

hi stid -- just a pop-in here while getting supper. Did I tell you the latest Xmas plans?

10:01 pm

phandmd

what does that knife begin with?

10:02 pm

stidmama

usually the knife starts SE and has a double consonant, the CE doesn't have a double cons

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

Hi everyone. My net service died for a while. Wjhat u going to do Jill

10:02 pm

stidmama

10:02 pm

lbdawger

hi harp, jilli, phan, herin

10:03 pm

phandmd

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

grabs hold of the chat and doesn't let go

10:05 pm
