we are discussing getting a foster child! had to talk to the kids about it

2:49 am

Andree

will you be taking on too much now you will be working this year

2:50 am

mrpresident

well, I don't work out of school hours... and the child would go to school at our school. It would be alot to take on, but there are so many

2:50 am

Andree

but it is a very nice idea, think a couple of babblers had their kids on the market a day or 2 ago, lol

2:50 am

mrpresident

there are more than 12,000 kids

2:50 am

mrpresident

cool!! LOL

2:51 am

mrpresident

we would ask for an 8 - 11 year old

2:53 am

Andree

well as long as you will keep getting stronger every day it is a lovely thought

2:53 am

mrpresident

I could rent my kids out for a new experience?? what you think??
(I put it to the kids that if they got fostered out, how hard it would be, and they took the idea of having a child here quite well)

2:54 am

mrpresident

oh andree! I wouldn't do it for at least 6 months... I have to be physically clear medically.

2:56 am

Andree

yes thats what i was concerned about, you have to put getting really well first

2:57 am

mrpresident

we have wanted to foster since we had kids, but haven't had the chance because of my health issues...
this way, if all is good, we can do it

2:57 am

mrpresident

we have spoken about it, and planned for it for 10 years!

2:57 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres what about a sponsor kid? Exchange host mum?

2:58 am

herinfernallady

and Yah to you and yours wanting to take in a kid

3:00 am

mrpresident

I haven't heard of that infern? I know that this family who lived here had kids from overseas... 12 week school program, but nothing else I know of

3:01 am

herinfernallady

Being a host mum?

3:03 am

3:22 am

sprite

hi Christine, just started so sorry, not yet

3:24 am

Christine

Apparently there are five words, this is the last, starting from da4/5 ... but I just can't see this one. It's driving me bonkers.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

Kids say the da? things

3:25 am

sprite

oh there it is. Most cursed.

3:26 am

KatieMcG

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

3:26 am

Christine

I think that's seven letters, and it's not accepted.

3:27 am

sprite

it is 8 letters, both syllables start with same letter

3:27 am

sprite

hi Katie

3:27 am

KatieMcG

hello sprite

3:28 am

herinfernallady

hi Sprite and Katie

3:30 am

Christine

dammit - I had that in my written list, crossed out because I stll can'r see how it gets there. First syllable starts at the top D, then there's a gap before you get to the second syllable, no??

3:31 am

sprite

you start at the rightmost D, go up to the a.

3:31 am

KatieMcG

arsed should be a word, as in I really can't be!!!

3:32 am

sprite

I second that on my own behalf, Katie

3:32 am

herinfernallady

But you can have a plural of it

3:32 am

Christine

Well, when did a third D appear in my grid -- I know it wasn;t there until you mentioned it, Sprite. Thanks, everyone ... aaaaargh

3:33 am

KatieMcG

it doesn't really sum up my feelings quite so well herin

3:33 am

sprite

lol Christine!

3:33 am

herinfernallady

So you can have 2 ar???? but no plural

3:34 am

o-o

live is basically unfair

3:34 am

herinfernallady

so i can't have be arsed but I can have 2 ar? how is that possible anatomicly

3:34 am

KatieMcG

true BR true

3:34 am

sprite

just what I told my son this morning. Hello BabbleRabble, am glad to see you.

3:35 am

sprite

Storm s'posed to start here after lunch. Yuk

5:47 am

that time of the year, i reckon. bad everywhere.

5:47 am

LynnNate08

12 to 18 expected here in rutland, snow day for kiddies grrrrr

5:48 am

Katydid0615

definitely snow day here too. thank goodness my kids are all grown.

5:49 am

Katydid0615

but the grands are off school. i feel sorry for their mama - 4 kids at home unexpectedly. LOL.

5:49 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning! We expect a high of 81 today... Current temp 65. It is a bit above normal. I definitely feel for the people in Missouri and the ice storm!

5:49 am

LynnNate08

5:50 am

Katydid0615

feel sorry for you too then.

5:50 am

Katydid0615

hush red ... we don't wanna know! ROFLOL.

5:51 am

Katydid0615

actually, wish I was there. the older I get the more I hate the snow.

5:51 am

redturtlehead

It is really nice not to worry about snow. But the rain storms are a bit dangerous...

5:51 am

Katydid0615

envy is not a pretty thing.

5:53 am

redturtlehead

I cant really figure why people stay in places like Michigan, alaska, etc....but I suppose its the way of things, and some people do like skiing.

5:53 am

Katydid0615

yeah, and I don't worry about the hurricanes here like you do. guess it can be bad everywhere, just at different times of the year.

5:54 am

redturtlehead

The rain even from just tropical storms can be really damaging. and hard to drive in, but...it doesnt hang around.

5:55 am

Katydid0615

some of the states like Michigan, Alaska, Wisconsin, etc are used to dealing with the snow and handle it better than we do in the Midwest. We like to think we know how to handle it, but we sure panic whenever we get a few inches or more.

5:55 am

redturtlehead

This is true, when I lived in NY, clear roads were never an issue.

5:55 am

6:03 am

Haz1558

It's not so much a past tense as an adjectival ending, I think.

6:03 am

Atalante

i've got the word!! i just want to know a sentence with it in

6:04 am

redturtlehead

uh, We added a Ve***** to the house and Ve******** it?

Katydid0615

6:05 am

My house is not Ve****** at all, it is decked in the back.

6:11 am

hurshy

it SOUNDS not good, but then i look at the traffic cams and there are still lots of people on the roads

6:11 am

phandmd

Ice = no driving

6:11 am

Scrabbler

We just drive carefully. And I am leaving early.

6:11 am

No schools are closed here.

6:11 am

MonkeyGames

Hi for a few, folks!

6:11 am

Katydid0615

I don't know. Im pondering that too hurshy. They are saying stay home unless you HAVE to go out, but my work isn't closed. Does that count as HAVE to go out? I don't quite know.

6:11 am

phandmd

no schools here too; not even the local colleges are open

6:11 am

hurshy

i obviously prefer working from home, and i don't want that to bias my evaluation.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hey, it came from the midwest.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi MG & Walter

6:12 am

phandmd

and it is supposed to warm up enough to melt the ice by noon

6:12 am

Katydid0615

Will probably wait an hour or so and see if the snow ever stops. Yep, it is still in the Midwest Scrabbler. In Indianapolis, at 10 inches now and counting.

6:12 am

6:18 am

Ooh, TY, MG! Great clues. I figured them out right away.

6:18 am

Trifioso

this is so puke. ALL the towns around us cancelled school - and I do mean ALL, but we still have it.

6:19 am

MonkeyGames

Oh good! I was afraid they were too obscure...

6:19 am

Scrabbler

No schools are closed here.

Definitely no School closings here.

Took Walter to school and home today sitting on the sheepsking and wrapped in three wool scarves, a down jacket, and two blankts.

6:20 am

Oooh Yaaay!

6:21 am

redturtlehead

If my house doesnt sell, I think I will be leaving April 5th... :(

6:21 am

Trifioso

our evil superintendent is also the harbormaster of newport, RI, but only in the summer, so he never cancels school, so he is on time for his summer job.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

And go where, red?

6:21 am

redturtlehead

No idea Scrabbs. I am now concentrating on selling...

6:22 am

what a lovely summer job!

6:22 am

heeeeeres crossy!:)

6:22 am

i agree, ata, but I resent him putting children in harm's way so that he isn't late for his job.

6:22 am

Hi Crossy!

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi cwossy, Si-wee Scwabbler and wabbits here!

6:23 am

G'd morning cross.

good morning crossy! I am very cross today!

6:23 am

crosshair

did someone say wabbits?

6:23 am

redturtlehead

mornign Mr Hair!

6:23 am

Atalante

do you have to make up days that the school closes?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I caught Miss B earlier and snuggled her up.

6:23 am

crosshair

mmm plump snuggling wabbits

6:23 am

LoriP

Tri, I simply don't send my children when it's unsafe. The School Board cannot mark it as "missed" if I deem it unsafe for the buses no matter what the Superintendant decides.

6:24 am

Trifioso

not unless we go over 5. which we don't. EVER. secondo was in third grade before she got a snow day.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Here, in western NY, schools build snow days into the yearly schedule as usually 5-7 are used during the winter.

6:24 am

crosshair

any days not attended due to weather for my boy is marked as a "missed" day

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Well, kids, I need an early start on these snowy roads.

6:25 am

LynnNate08

ov 9?

6:25 am

Trifioso

I don't think we have that provision here, lori. you are blessed to have it. Primo was so insistent that he go, lest he miss a big math test. It is just so unfair. Most of the teachers live in other towns, so they put themselves at risk to get to our dumb school that is open, when everywhere else they have enough sense to stay the heck home

6:26 am

Scrabbler

50 words is a nice start. Enjoy the day all. Be careful driving in the snowstorm, folks.

6:26 am

LoriP

Tri, that's exactly why parents should speak with the absence of their childrten. Unsafe, is unsafe. Send the message.

6:26 am

Trifioso

the family next door is a mom and dad who are both teachers, but in different towns. Neither of them has to teach today, but their kids had to go!

6:26 am

phandmd

tri, where do you live?

Come on, Lori, confess. You just want the boys to stay at home so that you can get them polishing the silver and abseiling to clean the windows.

6:27 am

phandmd

oh, what you are describing sounds like DC, they are opening 2 hours late but all the other school districts are closed today

6:27 am

hi haz

6:27 am

Even the local colleges are closed here

Haz! Shhhh. Don't let all my secrets out.

6:28 am

MonkeyGames

OK, just got Walter set up standing on a chair by the window so he can eat lunch and watch them put in the new underground trash bin.

6:28 am

featherbee

underground trash bin? how does that work?

6:28 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Lori. I should have thought before I typed.

6:29 am

bichon

Schools in CT are either closed or have delays. This is because some of the teachers live a distance away. Then days are added to the end of the school year

6:29 am

LoriP

If children aren't learning, they should be working. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming...the list is endless!

6:29 am

Trifioso

yes, phan here too. when even the colleges are closed you would think our guy would get a clue. wonder what HIS email box will look like today (evil grin)

6:30 am

crosshair

mmmmm...10 inches of wet heavy sonw on the way i see..all you to the south are getting it first it seems

6:30 am

Haz1558

I'd put that down as learning life skills, Lori. You're a good parent.

6:30 am

LoriP

cross loves to shovel snow.... :p

6:30 am

MonkeyGames

They put in a massive concrete liner, then a giant metal trash bin that fits in there neatly and has a small box on the top with a rolly hatch. You put your resident card on the scanner and the hatch unlocks, put the trash bag in the aperture, close the hatch, and the trash drops into the bin. Onve a week a big truck comes and uses a hook to picke the whole bin up, hold it over the truck, and open the bottom. Then they put it back in the ground.

6:30 am

Trifioso

isn't that a reverse of how it usually goes, crossy?

6:31 am

featherbee

oh that sounds cool monkey!

6:31 am

featherbee

brb, breakfast is ready

6:31 am

I took alter to school and then had my interview with the lady from teh people who might send me household help what with the back problem. Then got Walter and am psyching up to make potstickers-- never made my own dough before.

bichon, are your bagels good? I've tried making them in the past, and they were...average at best.

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks Trif!

6:40 am

Trifioso

you are welcome, monkey! its a weird word, that

6:40 am

MonkeyGames

It is indeed.

6:40 am

bichon

Lori, I would say they taste more like "traditional" bagels,. Certainly not like store-bought ones. Dense and chewy.

6:41 am

Atalante

isn't head overarse a traditional way of falling down?

6:41 am

bichon

overt

6:41 am

bichon

sorry

6:41 am

LynnNate08

so 7???????

6:41 am

Trifioso

bichon, my mom's best friend is a life time new yorker, and she swears it is the city water that makes their bagels taste the way they do

6:42 am

bichon

Can I go to the PB. There's no shoveling snow there

6:42 am

bichon

Maybe so Trif. I use Britta filtered water in all my yeast bread preparations. The chlorine inhibits yeast rising

6:42 am

LoriP

***allows bichon to hide from the storm in PB***

6:42 am

redturtlehead

only if you bring bagels bichon.

everyone is so energetic, I am thinking of getting back into bed for an hour.

6:44 am

I knead my bread with the Kitchen-Aid

Without a bread machine, I'd be lost. I make a lot of bread and pizza dough

6:44 am

6:44 am

LynnNate08

so 7?

6:45 am

MonkeyGames

Trif, I bought a cheap bread machine-- I let it get me through all the kneading and rising, and then I put the bread in pans and bake it myself.

6:45 am

LoriP

Sorry Lynn, don't have it, but I'll take a look

6:59 am

Katydid0615

well, they just used the "nitemarish" word regarding traffic here. guess I'd better get ready and get on the road. have a good day all and be safe in the weather.

6:59 am

Trifioso

oh, god, parents, help me: secondo just called in tears, she forgot her social studies stuff, and could I pleeeez drop it off at the school? keep in mind, she also forgot her sketch book for art class at her dad's and he is dropping that off later. every day it's something else. If I just refuse, it's a flood, and begging, and guilt

6:59 am

Anniebrook

Lynn... a porch perhaps in Hawaii

7:00 am

crosshair

if it is really neded,deliver it..if it is optional then do not

7:00 am

Anniebrook

Trif, If you dont mind my butting in...go, mother dear

7:00 am

LynnNate08

hmmmm i think i need to be slapped, not seeing it

7:00 am

zoozzoom

What are parents for..get over there and drop it off :-)

7:01 am

NonoNanette

Trif take it to her but you and she need to work out a plan to help her remember everything she needs to take each day

7:01 am

LoriP

She should have remembered it, as this appears to be a pattern.....

7:01 am

Trifioso

annie, I don't mind at all - it's why I asked...but really, we are talking three, sometimes four trips to school a week here, and then more at night, when she leaves stuff at school she needs at home. I am starting to really feel like an enabler here.

7:02 am

LoriP

Gotta' break a cycle sooner or later. If tears do the trick, it'll only get worse.

7:02 am

crosshair

my kid used to try to get me to deliver crazy things to school,recreational stuff,i did so at the start then if he forgot his ball or hockey stick then he had to come get it

7:02 am

Atalante

what would she have done before cell phones and such things?!!

7:03 am

Trifioso

i just can't stand the hatred later. she will get docked a grade, or whatever, and then it is all rage at ME because I wouldn't drop it off. she needs to take responsiblity for herself.

7:03 am

Anniebrook

trif, you have to work out a plan..the night before she puts everything she needs where she will see it before she leaves for school

7:03 am

LoriP

4 trips a week ???????? If you feel like an enabler, to be blunt, there's prob'ally a ring of truth there.

7:03 am

Trifioso

annie, trust me, I try, i really do. I ask her to do that, I check it, but still this nonsense happens. I wish I had just told her no. I hate this

7:04 am

LoriP

***Lori better shut up now*** :)

7:04 am

Trifioso

no lori, don't, I need a good snap-to. I am so tired of her drama

7:05 am

Anniebrook

Oh dear, trif..then you might have to clamp down on the trips. Drama, schwama. Never worked here. I became conveniently deaf.

7:05 am

Trifioso

thanks you all. I needed a good kick.

7:05 am

LoriP

Well then, face it, brace for it and stand your ground. It'll get worse before it gets better. She knows you don't want a scene. Tough noogies girl.

7:05 am

Atalante

I'd accaidentally leave the phone off the hook during school hours :P

7:06 am

LoriP

I'm with Annie, what she said.

7:06 am

Trifioso

i think my concern is how to get the message across to her without denting her self esteem in the process

7:06 am

crosshair

as a extreme example my wifes brother still lives at home ,still gets his laundry done,still gets things delivered to class..he is 36

7:07 am

hurshy

don't tell her she's an idiot.

7:07 am

Atalante

why would it damage her self-esteem to make sure she has everything she needs for school or she'll just have to deal?

7:08 am

Frances

Trif may I ask a question. How old is she? She should realise that her lack of responsibility is not your fault. If she loses grades it is her fault, not yours. Therefore she should sort it.

7:08 am

LoriP

Self esteem for facing her responsibility? Don't even give that a thought.

7:08 am

hurshy

just say, honey, you need to be responsible.

7:08 am

Atalante

lol note all the brits go "tough! let her deal!"

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Say everything once in a loving way and then let it go for a week or two. Dont bring anything to school and see what happens. AND get ear plugs.

7:09 am

hurshy

someday, you will have a job, and if you leave an important presentation at home, i won't be there to bring it to you, so you need to start finding a way to remember your things.

7:09 am

LoriP

What damages self esteem more, being absolved of responsibility or being made to take responsibility?

7:09 am

Trifioso

she is in 7th grade, so she is 12. I meant, I want to tell her WHY I am making the decision, i.e., there have been four trips this week alone, both dad and I are having to do it, etc. But spelling it out like that might make her feel really bad. Or, it might wake her up. I guess you never know.

7:09 am

crosshair

as the lone ignored male,crossy will shut up...

7:10 am

Frances

Exactly Ata. She'll be after a servant for the rest of her life.

7:10 am

Atalante

and she should feel bad about dragging you out to school nearly every day!

7:10 am

Trifioso

that is exactly my concern, lori. I cannot STAND people who blame everyone else for their problems, and I do see her starting down that path. want to nip it in the bud NOW

7:10 am

hurshy

v see hurshy's suggested dialogue v

7:10 am

LoriP

I heard ya' cross, it's not a female male issue, it's "don't be so easily manipulated" issue!

7:11 am

Atalante

at 12 I would have got a *tirade* from my mum if I'd forgotten something vital and asked her to bring it to school. And she wouldn't have done so anyway!

7:11 am

LoriP

Then you already know what to do Tri. You have to just do it.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

Trif, she knows you and her Dad are bringing her things to school. Has this just started this term?

7:11 am

Trifioso

pretty much, annie. she is in a weird place right now. started about three weeks ago.

7:11 am

Frances

Not being funny Trif but my six year old granddaughter has to take responsibilty for things needed for school and if she forgets thay do not get baken to her.

7:12 am

crosshair

i only ever got something delivered once,if i forgot again it was my problem.that would be grade 4 and beyond

7:12 am

Atalante

gosh, we're harsh over here, aren't we! ;)

7:12 am

hurshy

you really don't need to mention the inconvenience to you and her father, i think. focus on HER development... wait, 3 weeks? what changed? did you just separate/divorce? is she trying to make your paths cross?

7:13 am

Trifioso

frances, the new prinicpal at the elem school made it a policy her first day there - things brought to school are not given out, unless it is a lunch. you forget it, it's is your problem. I love her for that, but a lot of other parents flipped. wish the middle school would do it.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Trif, Might it have anything to do with your separation? You could assure her that you both love her very very much but that you and her Dad are not delivery people

7:13 am

Trifioso

yes, hurshy! he left right before halloween

7:13 am

7:13 am

kalea

hello all............if i may interject a bit.........my kids got one free trip to bring forgotten items a year........after that, they had to pay me out of their allowance...............they quickly learned to not forget things

7:13 am

Trifioso

yes, I wonder if it does. she might just be extra distracted

7:14 am

zoozzoom

Hello KJE

7:14 am

Trifioso

oh, good idea kalea! I do something similar regarding curfew - one dollar a minute for each minute they are late.

7:14 am

Atalante

GOOD IDEA, Kalea!!

7:14 am

crosshair

good idea kalea

7:14 am

LoriP

If you let he divorce be an excuse for everything, I assure you, it'll be manipulated beyond belief. Irregardless of you and your husband, the expectations for her conduct remain the same.

7:14 am

kje

it won't take nooner

7:14 am

kje

no one ever had a nooner?

7:14 am

LoriP

lol Kalea. That rocks!

7:14 am

Trifioso

lol, kje, I tried that one too!

7:14 am

kje

annie! crisis! I ran out of peet's!

7:14 am

crosshair

a nooner? crossy loves nooners

7:15 am

Trifioso

easy there boy. it wasn't an offer!

7:15 am

hurshy

well if it'is not a personality trait, then talking to her about responsibility isn't really the answer... if the root of the problem is that she's trying to get you to cross paths, she probably needs another talk about your situation (in addition to kalea's idea!)

7:15 am

Atalante

what's a nooner?

7:15 am

LoriP

***snickers at kje*** :D

no mrp, we had an ice storm and the buses can't get the kids to school

9:02 am

JBV

no mr p - we have to close schools when the road conditions are very bad like today

9:02 am

Judi

No holidays, Mr. P. Just a bad winter storm that has left us coated in ice and snow.

9:03 am

mrpresident

ah, we should have that here too, when it is too hot!

9:03 am

JBV

good idea! snow days, hot days, what else can we think of to have a day off..

9:04 am

Judi

Don't forget bad hair days, JBV!

9:04 am

mrpresident

the kids from Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 have no aircon... so we don't expect them to show up.
But Year 3-6 have aircon and must come to school

9:04 am

9:04 am

JBV

that might be every day for me Judi , LOL

9:04 am

Judi

Tis summer down under this time of year.

9:05 am

JBV

but sixty degrees is ridiculous - it's about 140 degrees or something like that

9:05 am

mrpresident

60 Celsius?? no... it was 45 C... and with 85% humidity!... it would have been about 55C in the sun!!!

9:05 am

it's 16C outside but drizzling intermittently

11:05 am

westford

11:05 am

JBV

so true, dorens -

11:06 am

Dorens

univac was linkletter's computer... which was as big as a small bedroom, which I remember clearly... and thirty years ago when we were told every home would one day have a computer I could only think of that

Hemoglobin. HbA1C is a blood test that takes into account your blood sugar levels over a 3 month period. It's so you can't cheat the day before your doctor's visit

11:14 am

12:38 pm

KatieMcG

how's the ww going?

12:39 pm

Atalante

good! 3lb last week, and I've just had a drastic hair cut so that should knock off another pound to :P

12:40 pm

KatieMcG

I lost 1.5 lbs this week so thats 10.5 in total. I've made no point soup today as well so I'm very happy about it at the moment

12:41 pm

Atalante

woohoooo!

12:41 pm

Atalante

I am so grateful for WW frozen desserts!

12:42 pm

KatieMcG

Lol and they have been on special offer as well.

12:42 pm

Atalante

I know!!

12:42 pm

KatieMcG

A techie question. I have just changed to safari as my web browser and can't get it to paste into lickety (I use the old list) does anyone know the way round it?

12:43 pm

Dorens

hi all.. katie, i use safari anad it does paste into lickety (i don't have the expert cause i have a mac)

12:44 pm

crosshair

crossy uses firefox

12:44 pm

Atalante

ata uses firefox

12:44 pm

Dorens

actually, i use firefox on my big imac, but safari on the little macbook

12:45 pm

crosshair

ever since the bug filled I.E 6 ive never gone back to it

12:46 pm

KatieMcG

I can't get it to work, it seems to copy the stuff OK but won't paste

12:46 pm

Atalante

I hate IE with a passion

12:47 pm

KatieMcG

I use safari on my iphone and love it so thought I would go over to it. I might pop into IE just to paste and them come back to safari

12:48 pm

Dorens

don't understand that.. i'm not a tech whiz, but i know safari and lickety are compatible here

12:48 pm

crosshair

sorry katie,ive never heard of safari

12:49 pm

KatieMcG

I'll try again tomorrow and then email Lickety if I can't get it working. My cunning plan has worked for today :-)

12:49 pm

Dorens

just did it here and now, on the imac, and it worked fine

12:51 pm

Dorens

oh well, now that I did it to check if it works, i might as well enjoy it.. will certainly help me find these 66 faster

12:51 pm

KatieMcG

hmmmm might be because I haven't got a mac and am using safari on windows system. At least I know a way round it for now, and that it does work on a mac

12:51 pm

KatieMcG

Thank you Dorens

12:53 pm

1:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

we went to mother's in greenwood lake.

1:16 pm

Dorens

funny. hackensack and teaneck, you'd think we'd have gone to the same places

1:17 pm

Atalante

is hackensack a place?

1:17 pm

Dorens

the town next to teaneck... owl and i grew up quite close to one another, it turns out

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

LOl and I'm sure we would have met, too! maybe we did but i was too under the weather to remember it.

1:18 pm

Atalante

what wonderful names!

1:18 pm

Dorens

back in those days i used a different substance for the most part

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

then we would go the that large chrome diner on 17 for a bite to eat

1:19 pm

Dorens

i loved smoking pot... didn't think it made me as stupid as drinking did... but of course, we're talking about back in the 60's

1:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are indian ata - the indians are , phonetically, hackensacki

1:19 pm

Atalante

ohhhh ty that makes sense!

1:20 pm

Dorens

the oritani indians (as they were called back then... now native americans).... in fact the movie theater we used to go to every saturday afternoon was the oritani... i'm sure we met there as kids!

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

and the town gave it's name to the hacky sack!!! :)

1:20 pm

Dorens

apocryphy

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

I'm sure we did, doren - you did not go the the Queen ?

1:21 pm

Dorens

i remember the fox and the oritani -- and sometimes actually the teaneck, or whatever the name was of the theater on Cedar Lane.. where was the queen?

1:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

oritam was the chief, i thought the tribe was the source of hackensack...the city seal has oritam on it.

1:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i though that was the one on cedar lane - still there.

1:22 pm

Dorens

oh yes of course... you would know better

1:22 pm

Dorens

really? i'll have to drag Ken there someday to see a movie for old time's sake

1:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

Nice JBV.

3:51 pm

Minveryork

I teach English as a Second Language (ESL) all grades

3:52 pm

JBV

no way! that is my field, too! was an ESL teacher for many many years - now i direct a bilingual/esl program

3:52 pm

P.J.

yesterday we had a low of -20*

3:53 pm

o-o

is english as a second language a remedial course for those who were disinclined to learn it the first time?

3:54 pm

JBV

no, BR, i know you're kidding - it's second for those who learned another language first (chronologically)

3:54 pm

Minveryork

Wow! That's great JBV! I LOVE ESL.I could NEVER be a classroom teacher! I believe that the ESL students are better behaved than the monolingual students.

3:55 pm

periwinkle

Min and JBV were you regular teachers before you became ESL teachers?

3:55 pm

JBV

well, most of them have intrinsic motivation which counts for a lot, but of course "ESL students" is a broad category, covering different ages, backgrounds, languages, educational experiences, etc.

3:55 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ra5-12? Thanks

4:00 pm

4:00 pm

redturtlehead

See you guys laters.

4:00 pm

Minveryork

periwinkle

I will do that JVB\

4:02 pm

JBV

peri, we ESL teachers like to joke that we are really social workers, too - it comes with the territory

4:02 pm

periwinkle

9 left

4:02 pm

periwinkle

well then I would be good at it. I was good as a social worker too, but it had its frustrating moments

4:03 pm

phaeton

are there any NU words?

4:03 pm

JBV

when you are dealing with people in need, it can be frustrating, but also as I said, deeply rewarding

4:03 pm

Minveryork

The Social Worker in my school does not give "social work" a great reputation,however,I know that they have a tough job to do. I could never do that either.

4:03 pm

o-o

so much gets shunted off on teachers, almost need an advanced degree in psychology

4:03 pm

no nu

4:04 pm

I worked in hospitals

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

periwinkle

don't think I want to work with people in need again tho

4:04 pm

Minveryork

I think ALL teachers are social workers in a way,not just ESL teachers. Teachers have to wear many hats

4:04 pm

JBV

true, BR, but good teachers have an instinct for dealing with people, after all these years, i believe there is a limit to what training can do - it has to come from within

4:06 pm

o-o

well, in my view, better parenting goes a long way to helping teachers

4:06 pm

P.J.

I agree JBV :)

4:07 pm

Minveryork

Yes, definitely BabbleRabble! I see the effects of bad parenting everyday. I teach in an inner city school.

4:07 pm

periwinkle

re5/12 pls

4:08 pm

JBV

actually, BR, we have ongoing parenting classes for exactly that reason

4:08 pm

JBV

what district, Min? (i'm originally from NYC)

4:08 pm

Minveryork

It's hard to get through to a child if you do not have parental support.Some parents don't value education

4:08 pm

o-o

as far as coming from within, that is a trait that every profession and career needs

4:08 pm

Minveryork

too often, the parent/teacher relationship is adversarial .... a lot different from years ago

4:12 pm

Minveryork

If the parents don't value education, neither do the students & I see that everyday in my school district.

5:39 pm

crosshair

5:39 pm

Krista

lol

5:39 pm

Krista

may i ask what kind of cancer you had?

5:39 pm

crosshair

i had 3...

5:40 pm

Krista

yes, i saw that.wasn't sure if had a recurrence or diff types

5:40 pm

crosshair

seminoma,non hodkins lympnoma,and the nodes behind my left boob neede a small blast of chemo

5:40 pm

crosshair

so the 3rd was a repeat..sort of

5:41 pm

crosshair

the node system is a cancer highwway

5:41 pm

Krista

i had Hodgkins..cancer of lymph system

5:41 pm

crosshair

actually they are all related when you think on it

5:41 pm

crosshair

yup same sort of thing

5:42 pm

crosshair

chemo or radiation?

5:42 pm

Krista

glad you made it..sounds trite..but good for you..both, and extensive surgery

5:42 pm

crosshair

im glad you came out on top also krista:)

5:43 pm

Krista

i was at stage 3 with no symptoms..very blessed it was even found..has been 28 years so I'm good

5:44 pm

crosshair

i often give day to day living with cancer advice to people on the net now,its amazing what the dr,s dont tell you as you try to recover at home

5:44 pm

Krista

no..22 years..i'm not THAT old yet

5:44 pm

crosshair

mine were all stage 3 a matched set;)

5:45 pm

Krista

it's good to be consistent ;)

5:45 pm

JBV

(popping in for a p.s. -) i'll second that, crossy, about recovering i mean

5:45 pm

crosshair

im getting ready to go to 6 month exams now so am doing good

5:46 pm

crosshair

ty jbv;)

5:46 pm

JBV

my husband's cancer was successully removed with surgery, no recurrence, but the last 7 years have been an on-going ordeal of aftereffects of radiation

5:46 pm

Krista

that can be brutal jbv, for sure

5:47 pm

crosshair

well they always do a disclaimer in the papers i signed,there is a 10% chance of gettin unrelated cancers from the effects of treatment after 10 years

5:47 pm

JBV

i've told him about you, crossy, about your upbeat outlook and ability to talk about it

5:47 pm

Krista

us postal service considering 5-day/week delivery to save money..interesting

5:48 pm

crosshair

you have to be upbeat..ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING in the battle with the big c

5:48 pm

JBV

he has a different approach right now, don't know whether it's the best - of not telling anyone what he has been and is going through

5:48 pm

Krista

i still worry about secondary cancers..dont let it consume me, but the thought it always there

5:48 pm

crosshair

ill tell anyone,cause it has enabled me to help others,its silence that can kill

5:48 pm

JBV

most of our family do not know the details of his medical history - he's very sensitive and private about it since it involves colo-rectal and urinary systems

5:49 pm

Krista

everyone is different..men usuallly more reticent..you are unique, crossy

5:49 pm

crosshair

hell im missing my left nut..dosent matter to me

5:49 pm

Krista

ROLF..you GO, crossy..i dont believe you just said that

5:49 pm

crosshair

lol wife has said im one of a king;)

5:49 pm

crosshair

kind*

5:50 pm

JBV

one of a king, tell her we concur

5:50 pm

crosshair

aww; crossy blushes

5:50 pm

JBV

shall we bow down before you, your majesty?

5:50 pm

Krista

i'm sure you've seen Tom Green's documentary of his ordeal?

5:51 pm

JBV

best wishes you two, i'm off for now - see you later or tomorrow

5:51 pm

crosshair

lol..im just a man who helps others and if i can help one person deal with cancer just a little better then my forwardness with my own is all worth it

5:51 pm

Krista

bye now, jbv

5:51 pm

crosshair

no i have not krista

5:52 pm

crosshair

that reminds me..is my addy in that profie?

5:52 pm

5:52 pm

Krista

10:35 pm

tygerbryght

well, I guess I'm too lazy to do that tonite, but I'll remember it; thx

10:35 pm

BlueAndAmy

but hey, i look at it this way: for some people, it's heroin. Others can't stop gambling. Is babble REALLY that bad to be addicted to? ;-)

10:35 pm

Pinikula

what city tyger?

10:36 pm

Pinikula

I think it's a positive addiction personally!

10:36 pm

tygerbryght

call it Jackson, pini. I think we're at the same latitude (straight east of Jan)

10:36 pm

Jellen

I'm addicted to the people as much as the puzzle :-)

10:36 pm

very true, amy. it's a beneficial addiction, IMO :D

10:37 pm

Pinikula

are you somewhere down south, tyger?

10:37 pm

tygerbryght

we are an interesting bunch - especially taken as a whole. so much variation

10:37 pm

i don't type much but I like to figure out the clues

10:37 pm

10:39 pm

Pinikula

most definitely, tyger...such diversity!

10:39 pm

when I looked in my atlas, it just looked as though we were halfway between 30deg & 40deg :D

10:40 pm

i love discovering how like-minded we all are in ways that, in my opinion, matter most...

10:40 pm

tygerbryght

and we mostly all get along!! :D :D :D

10:40 pm

Pinikula

agreed!

10:40 pm

tygerbryght

you're right about that, amy. no word-haters will stick around

10:41 pm

tygerbryght

generally open-minded, and all that good stuff

10:41 pm

BlueAndAmy

i mean, there's nothing really about the game itself that should theoretically attract people who think along the same lines, but it just happened to work out that way :-)

10:41 pm

tygerbryght

think about what same lines, amy? now I'm confused

10:41 pm

BlueAndAmy

i'm gettin all warm n' fuzzy inside :-D

10:41 pm

tygerbryght

LOLOL

10:42 pm

BlueAndAmy

oh, just conversations i've seen and participatedin on here on a variety of topics and issues

10:42 pm

Pinikula

It seems that games like this (words) bring together open-minded people with a desire to just learn, talk, have fun, etc., all at the same time.

10:42 pm

10:50 pm

BlueAndAmy

(denial..... "She'll be back!"...... anger .... "I don't CARE if you were a major contributing writer of Queer as Fold I HATE you RTD!" ...... etc....)

10:50 pm

10:54 pm

jillibus

I'm watching a CBC show called "The Week the Women Went", when all the women in a small New Brunswick town were given a holiday at a resort and all the men had to cope with the kids and everything.

10:54 pm

BlueAndAmy

HAHAHahaha Jilli i bet it's AWESOME

10:54 pm

jillibus

night tyger!

10:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sounds extremely canadian, jilli. no offense intended!

10:55 pm

BlueAndAmy

Oh Gwen, RTD is a genius in my book, I don't want to hate him... i just need someone to blame for Rose.... :-D

10:56 pm

jillibus

Years ago I read a book by Philip Wylie called "The Disappearance" when all the women vanished in the men's world, and vice versa. Interesting results.

10:56 pm

Jellen

RTD? Forgive my ignorance..

10:56 pm

jillibus

Gwen, isn't it universal?

10:57 pm

Jellen

Oh, jilli, I wish I had your memory for book titles and authors!

10:57 pm

BlueAndAmy

Russell T Davies... writes for Doctor Who, wrote for most of the episodes for Queer as Folk, he's like ancient and ahead of his time and everything in between Jellen :-)

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

mutters something about how it sucks that Dr Who David Tennet has left

10:58 pm

Must get the next icon -- Favourite food that reminds you of home -- and Meliae's birthday

10:58 pm

BlueAndAmy

HI herin... I'm still catching up with his episodes, but i saw a picture of the new guy... I don't think he'll ever compare!

10:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

blue, the reason DW is the greatest TV show ever made is that the formula allows for easy adding and subtracting of primary actors. You have to expect it. And yes, I know it's hard, but it's also part of the fun, getting a new companion and stuff

10:58 pm

wrathofcon

before i give up how about help with the v's

10:58 pm

11:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jill, oh, THAT. hey, i was kidding. the stereotypical canadian being rational and friendly, so all the women leave and the men take care of the kids. imagine all the women leaving a village where the men have testosterone poisoning . . .

11:03 pm

BlueAndAmy

WOW i have 58 minutes left and I am pleased to announce I have NBT... haha... late bloomer i am....

11:03 pm

11:13 pm

I see what you mean, herin -- several books by Philip Wylie. I remember hearing about A Generation of Vipers but didn't read it. Must investigate but I seem to remember it was bitter and unpleasant.

11:14 pm

jillibus

well, that site gives a long list of speculative fiction books by various authors

11:17 pm

wrathofcon

thanks for your help all good night

11:17 pm

Anyway, it doesn't matter -- I read The Disappearance and have kept it and remember what it was about, but haven't reread it.

11:17 pm

hi i'm back (-ish)... herin what's wrong?

11:32 pm

BlueAndAmy

hi ursh :-)

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

A man stopped his car on the West Gate Bridge and in front of his other two children through his little 4 year old of the bridge. She died.

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

It was a custody battle. I just don't understand people

11:33 pm

BlueAndAmy

omg

11:33 pm

Jellen

Threw her off the bridge???

11:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ai-ai-ai!

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

yes

11:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

testosterone poisoning . . . ? or generally insanity

11:35 pm

BlueAndAmy

a custody battle??? was it, like, the "if I can't have my child no one can" mentality?

11:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the mentality of a 6-y-o in the brain of a grown man

11:35 pm

herinfernallady

sorry my bad spelling. 58 metres just threw her off like garbage. There has been many pleas for the bridge to have cages on it as its a known bridge for suicide jumpers. I am just stunned

11:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

bet he doesn't win the custody of the other kids . . . sick, sick, sick

11:37 pm

BlueAndAmy

how old were the other children?

11:37 pm

jillibus

that's just horrible

11:38 pm

herinfernallady

6 and 8 i think

11:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the other day in california a man shot his 5 children, wife, and self. this stuff is nearly too depressing for me to want to even know about

11:39 pm

jillibus

because he had lost his job and felt he couldn't support them -- different from the bridge sicko

11:39 pm

ursh

Gwen that article was in our newspapers - just too awful

11:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

different, yes, but both deadly and exhibiting serious bad judgment (to put it nicely)

11:41 pm

jillibus

To change the subject, at the library today I found a delightful book called "Dancing with Cats" -- amazing photos!

11:41 pm

herinfernallady

I think we need to think about what we have and stop over spending on stuff we don't need

11:41 pm

Jellen

Ooh...I've seen excerpts of that book...

11:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jill, are the pix of people dancing with cats, or what?

11:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(and thank you for changing the subject!!!!)

11:42 pm

11:43 pm
