melonheadjujube

to digress a bit - i made insanely delicious stuffed shells today. a neighbors son was visiting on leave from the Israeli army. He mentioned how much he loved my stuffed shells, so I had to! I made them with spinach onions and walnuts added to the traditional ricotta filling, plus some mascarpone to make it creamy 7 irresistible.

1:05 am

Haz1558

72 Temple Owl

11:18 am

LoriP

Don't make me stock you. Or something like that.

11:19 am

stidmama

OOH> HALFWAY!!! I think nap sounds good. *bangs head on keyboard* I am tired because I took an antihistamine for the allergies!!! *sigh* so just as well to nap and let it wear off a little.

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

do'n't try to change the subject

11:19 am

Haz1558

11:21 am

Atalante

LoriP

72 Temple Owl

LoriP

11:22 am

Haz1558

Darn! Have I tripped up already? I told you I was saying nothing.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

nothing on me is pe4/5 anymore...

11:22 am

stidmama

*wondering what my ancestor did for a living* I know my great-great-grandfather's grandmother and aunts and all were lace makers!

11:22 am

Haz1558

You've forgotten the pig farmers, stid. And the leprechauns.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

let alone ov8

11:22 am

flosey

lol TO - would be funny if it wasn't so true here

11:23 am

LoriP

lolol TO, same here. Gone south for sure, and I don't mean travel.

11:23 am

Haz1558

Lace makers? Were they of Hugenot stock?

11:23 am

Atalante

11:23 am

LoriP

Did ya' get it ruru, before it gets any raunchier? :D

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, Irish jockeys abound. They're the ones who failed leprechaun school.

11:24 am

Haz1558

Bye flosey.

11:24 am

Atalante

loooool

11:25 am

Haz1558

Ata, did you watch Orang-utan diary? I couldn't help thinking of the Borneo leprechauns. They're SO endearing.

11:25 am

Atalante

nooo I didn't :( I meant to!

11:26 am

Haz1558

There's a fantastic orang-utan enclosure on Jersey zoo.

11:27 am

stidmama

I don't think my ancestors on that side were Huegenot. The last name was Conn. Also Porter. The Huegenots were my German ancestors!

11:27 am

Atalante

I had to go out and buy a copy of Birds, Beasts and Relatives today. Mum has all my Gerald Durrell books and I opened a can of worms by telling people there was a wonderful description of bedlingtons in the book

11:27 am

stidmama

sorry, my computer is being weird...

11:27 am

bichon

I've watched the orang show and I can't imagine people abusing them

11:28 am

Haz1558

I know, bichon, nor can I.

11:29 am

Haz1558

I take it the description is wonderful rather than the Bedlingtons?

11:29 am

stidmama

I like books! going to Powell's in a week with Pinikula. *bounce bounce* I can hardly wait. and supposed to see raelite tomorrow! *bounce bounce bounce*

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh stid please give my best to rae.

11:30 am

Haz1558

Careful stid, the galoot will think you're ready for walkies.

11:30 am

LoriP

Books'll get you nowhere. I've taught the kids that since they were born.

11:30 am

stidmama

I shall! thanks!

11:30 am

stidmama

will take pics too, if I can remember my camera

11:30 am

Atalante

powells! YAY!

11:30 am

stidmama

true, Haz. *settling down*

11:30 am

Haz1558

Go and get your camera now, and tie it onto your wrist.

11:31 am

Haz1558

Or hang it round your neck.

11:31 am

LoriP

***reminds stid to put camera in purse now***

11:32 am

stidmama

I think I'll just take my backpack with me tomorrow so I can study and work some on the way to and from Seattle... the camera (and spare batteries) are in there!

11:32 am

Haz1558

(Reflecting sadly that Lori has made a more sensible suggestion)

11:32 am

stidmama

I don't usually carry a purse, but the backpack (since I am a student again) is going with me everywhere!

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

what's with all of the pictures? it's virtual world, what if i want to pretend to look like evangeline lily?

11:33 am

Haz1558

You mean you don't look like Evangeline Lily?

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

or meryl streep?

11:33 am

Haz1558

And who'd try to pretend to be anybody else?

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

um, er, uh yes, of course. just a bit older evangeline lily.

11:33 am

Atalante

*says nothing*

11:34 am

Haz1558

Very wise, Ata. I'm saying nothing either.

11:34 am

Haz1558

Britain says nothing.

11:34 am

stidmama

*not saying anythings while airbrushing icon pics*

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

haz: what WAS i thinking, that's a lot of folderol, everyone on line is totally and completely honest.

11:35 am

stidmama

gotta love photo editors!

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i know i am. btw how's george?

11:35 am

11:35 am

stidmama

george is wanting to play in the garden like I am, TO!

11:36 am

Haz1558

George? No need to say anything. He's just George.

11:36 am

stidmama

LOL FLOSEY!!! Mother is buying me one of those little seat-things that flips over to be a kneeler! So I can work in the garden again! *bounce bounce bounce bounce*

11:36 am

Atalante

george is busy on sky. he has a whole week of films

11:37 am

Haz1558

He'll be looking forward to getting back to some peace and quiet under the stairs.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

won't yo let him come home long enought to guest star on er's last season?

11:37 am

stidmama

okay, time for that nap. The antihistamines are being very insistent that I should lie down. Back later today to heckle folks.

11:37 am

stidmama

((((hugs all))))

*Poof*

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

bye stid.

11:38 am

Haz1558

George is a free agent, TO. He just loves the tranquility of chez Haz. Don't tell Scrabbler, she's still deep in her delusion of being engaged to him.

11:38 am

Aloyisius

frantically waving to stid.... hi Babblers, back to finish (I hope)

11:38 am

Haz1558

Bye stid!

11:38 am

Atalante

bye stid!

11:38 am

Haz1558

It's like sleepwalkers. If you waken them, the shock is too great. Scrabbler needs to confront reality gently.

11:38 am

Haz1558

Hello Aloy!

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

hi aloy!

11:39 am

Aloyisius

Happy Friday the 13th, Haz et al... Sprite's 12.5 yr anniversary today..

11:41 am

Haz1558

I'm not at all superstitious - show me a ladder and I'll walk under it. Just don't ask me to climb too high, that's taking things a bit far.

11:41 am

Aloyisius

I st** on cracks, I confess

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

ah what to do, what to do....need to get car wasked and drop off drycleaning

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

but bable is more fun.

11:43 am

Haz1558

How urgent is the need for dry-cleaning or car washing?

11:43 am

Aloyisius

well, how many left to find, TO? If you can finish later... that would solve my conundrum

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

65 left.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Do you have enough clothes to wear tomorrow? Are potatoes growing on the roof of the car?

11:44 am

Aloyisius

I mean, the car wash and the drycleaner probably close before the flip, lol.. but you are right, so much more fun to Babble

11:44 am

Atalante

Gerald Durrell and bedlingtons, just for your amusement:
Gerald Durrell's aunt had 8 (?) puppies that flowed everywhere with her. She decided to take them on the tube ...

"The puppies now would have made a suitable subject for an RSPCA poster. Never, at the best of times, a prepossessing breed, Bedlingtons can, in moments of crisis, look more ill-used than any other dog I know. They stood uttering quavering, high-pitched yelps like miniature sea gulls, shivering violently, periodically squatting down bow-legged to decorate the [London Underground] platform with the results of their fear"

[the tube arrived]

"The effect on the puppies was immediate. One minute they had been standing there shivering and wailing like a group of half-starved grey lambs, the next they had taken off down the platform like a team of huskies, dragging Aunt Fan in their wake"

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

car has ugly black spot from wednesday's solit shower. it does however have lovely $50 brakes i had put on earlier today.

11:45 am

Haz1558

'The results of their fear!'

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i should be so lucky, that's $500

11:46 am

Aloyisius

have a mental pic of that fiasco, Ata... lol

11:46 am

Atalante

I love his writing

11:46 am

Haz1558

Some enterprising boy scouts would be handy, TO. One to wash your car, the other to drop off your dry cleaning.

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

ata that is tooo funny!

11:46 am

Aloyisius

did your valet take the day off TO?

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

bedlington's are the snobby looking wire coated poufy dogs are they not?

11:47 am

Atalante

there's a lot more of the encounter, but that bit always makes me giggle so much

11:47 am

Atalante

they look like little sheep

11:47 am

Haz1558

And he's right about the half-starved lambs. They're very peculiar looking.

11:47 am

Atalante

yes, horrid little dogs. especially the puppies

11:48 am

Haz1558

Google Bedlington terriers, TO, to see the full horror.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

yes! a local dog just won one of england's shows in the past week or so, was that a bedlington?

11:48 am

Atalante

Lizsark and I were talking about them on f. book. My mum;'s next door neighbours used to breed the nasty things

11:48 am

Atalante

they have pompoms on their ears

11:48 am

carleekat

hello all

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

yes! and sometimes their grooming for shoe makes them look eyeless

11:49 am

Aloyisius

hi carlee!

11:49 am

Haz1558

Was that Crufts? It was on last week, though the publicity was nil.

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

11:50 am

Haz1558

Things are okay, carlee. I've managed to spread a cold among the family, husband said this morning that if we continued at this rate, Spangle would be orphaned.

11:50 am

Atalante

crufts was won by a sealyham (?) terrier?

11:51 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruru.

11:51 am

carleekat

oh my... spring colds come in a close second to summer ones for being the worst....

11:51 am

Haz1558

And I'm guessing the Sealyham doesn't eat Pedigree Chum, now that they no longer sponsor Crufts.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

ata not being a dog person sometimes those terriers get all mixed up. might be a sealyham. are they horrid, too?

11:52 am

Atalante

not as horrid as bedlingtons!

11:52 am

carleekat

i don't know dogs at all....being a cat person myself

11:52 am

oodleberry

72 Temple Owl

11:52 am

torgone

I'm a person person myself.

11:53 am

Haz1558

The sealyham looks like a cross between a miniature Schnauzer and a Westie.

11:53 am

Haz1558

It's definitely not as horrific as the Bedlington.

11:53 am

Atalante

I'm sure many many people love terriers, but I find them generally yappy and annoying

11:53 am

carleekat

ok..well.. sitting here hurts as I pulled something in my bottom whilsst trying to capture an escaping as yet unspayed ( has appt ) cat from darting out door to greet a yet undecided boyfriend cat...

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

11:55 am

1:58 pm

Atalante

thats what they are there for

1:58 pm

ewaugh07

i dont have that te, sorry nan

1:58 pm

jmcnrick

hi all (and watch what you say about supervisors!) lol

1:59 pm

hurshy

we had had this whole to-do last week where the director told us to be nicer to her. one of the things that led to this is her different philosophy about paper.

1:59 pm

Atalante

about paper??!

2:00 pm

Takuma Sato

wow - I didn't even know there were philosophies of paper

2:00 pm

hurshy

yes, she prints off like every email she gets, and then prints off the next volume, with all the previous emails that are in that thread that she's already printed...

2:01 pm

hurshy

and she tells us we need to have paper copies of some things when we really really don't - she's paper crazy

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

is she at least using the back side of used paper?

2:01 pm

hurshy

i don't know, but in our building of about 10 people, i think she uses about half the paper.

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

How old is she hurshy?

2:01 pm

hurshy

63

2:01 pm

torgone

I think it's a cult .. I work with a person like that .. obsessed with paper ..

2:01 pm

Atalante

has she ever heard of being green?

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

well there is the issue--she is from a different era and hasn't caught up

2:02 pm

hurshy

YES, we're the freaking BIOETHICS center!

2:02 pm

hurshy

and the guy who runs the whole sort of institute that we're part of had actually commented on how our group uses so much paper

2:02 pm

Atalante

well then age isn't so much of an excuse!

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

when I first worked here I found that the prior exec had them photocopy every check donated

2:03 pm

hurshy

so this came up in a staff meeting, and then later, our group director told us that we had kind of "jumped on" her and so forth

2:03 pm

sharons

OE7.32 CLUE ANYONE

2:03 pm

Takuma Sato

wow - that couldn't get any better, hursh

o + er4 + past tense

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

and she was a sensitive woman hursh and you hurt her feelings lol!

2:04 pm

hurshy

and then two days ago she told me to do something that involved a lot of paper and was seriously unnecessary, and i called the people involved to check that i was correct about it being unnecessary and they confirmed this

2:04 pm

Takuma Sato

wow - but there is no non-'past tense' for that word. weird

2:05 pm

hurshy

but i was afraid that if i said to her, "look, i called them, and it should just be submitted electronically", she'd be mad that i had in some sense "gone behind her back" and the paper issue was already sensitive

2:06 pm

jmcnrick

maybe you can get them to send her an email confirming that it will be submitted electronically

2:06 pm

hurshy

so i went to the deputy director - the regular director was out of town - and i said look, i don't know what to do here, what should i do?

2:06 pm

tragicstud

sorry, clue for the 1st ov8,60?

2:06 pm

jmcnrick

and. . .

2:07 pm

hurshy

so he told me to send an email saying that i was confused because the form was on four screens and didn't quite seem to be printable, and cc him on it. and then he would reply right away and say not to use the paper etc.

2:07 pm

jmcnrick

torg give your clue I liked it

2:07 pm

Atalante

good for him!

2:07 pm

tragicstud

yes torg..please do

2:07 pm

jmcnrick

that was a good solution hurshy

2:07 pm

hurshy

no, turns out it really wasn't!

2:08 pm

torgone

Which one - the 1st or 2nd?

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

why not?

2:08 pm

Atalante

uhoh

2:08 pm

tragicstud

1st ov8 please

2:08 pm

cybernan

does anyoe have the te 7? -- my last word

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

the racy version torg

2:08 pm

mixi6

not me cybernan

2:09 pm

cybernan

ov 8: outrageously perky?

2:09 pm

torgone

ov8 - excessively augmented breasts might be this ..

2:09 pm

Atalante

te + consonant + type of pasta minus one of a double letter

2:09 pm

jmcnrick

lol torg

2:09 pm

torgone

Now she's mad you went to the DD?

2:09 pm

jmcnrick

sorry hurshy so what happened?

2:09 pm

cybernan

mmm -- pasta, pasta

2:09 pm

hurshy

so yesterday and today and monday i am off (i'm visiting wesley here, who is currently napping) but i still wanted to send the friday newsletter so i got on to do that this morning, and she had replied to steve's email and said just do to the electronic and so forth and "i'm sorry you got dragged into this, steve", and then sent me a separate email saying how we should meet on tuesday to talk about things, that she feels like i don't always do what i'm told, etc, and basically like that i shouldn't go talk to steve or david

2:10 pm

cybernan

ty ata!

2:10 pm

Atalante

ask for steve to be present at the meeting

2:10 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

2:10 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm she seems very defensive

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

wtg cyber

2:11 pm

hurshy

i don't see how i can, given how she reacted.

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

good idea ata

2:11 pm

Atalante

"steve seemed rather interested, I think he should be present" and drag him in there!

2:11 pm

hurshy

however, i do wish he would reply to her email and say he wasn't "dragged" into it but chose to enter the conversation, or something...

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

steve is the DD? right?

2:11 pm

hurshy

yes

2:11 pm

Atalante

I'm sure he will

2:11 pm

tragicstud

why can't I get that clue torg...i love boobs

2:12 pm

jmcnrick

avoid thinking about the roundness tragic

2:12 pm

torgone

Excessively imPertinent ..

2:12 pm

Atalante

think about the sticky outness

2:12 pm

jmcnrick

send a copy of her email to steve

2:13 pm

torgone

Or if you filled them with helium ..

2:13 pm

tragicstud

yeah....booobs! thanks

2:13 pm

hurshy

i mean it's just crazy because all of the rest of us want to do everything in the most sensible way, and she has all these different wacky ideas about how to do things, and somehow, because she's all sensitive, we end up doing it her way, even though nobody else thinks we should. or if we want NOT to do it her way, we end up doing all this subterfuge

2:13 pm

jmcnrick

with a cover email asking him what to do

2:13 pm

hurshy

see, i would love to jmc, but i'm afraid that would just inflame things further if she found out

2:13 pm

Atalante

well it's about time steve got dragged into it!

2:14 pm

Atalante

it's bound to, but the situation needs sorting

2:14 pm

hurshy

and he's off to scotland - see, it's spring break, so we're all taking vacation days here and there.

2:14 pm

cybernan

Is anyone getting videos on fireworks anymore? -- I never seem to get them, automatically or manually

2:14 pm

jmcnrick

look she is not going to be happy unless you do exactly what she wants and you are not going to be happy doing what she wants

2:14 pm

hurshy

yeah, but maybe i just have to

2:14 pm

Atalante

sometimes you just have to make waves, hurshy dearesr

2:15 pm

hurshy

maybe i should decide not to care if i'm doing completely irrational things, just follow orders and let someone higher up deal with things

2:15 pm

jmcnrick

bbl there is a crisis here

2:15 pm

hurshy

she's like, why didn't you just talk to me? well the real reason is, she has not got a good grasp on reason or reality!

2:16 pm

Atalante

but how would they know they had things to deal with?

2:16 pm

lynxxx

I think Lickety is just way too busy to link them in anymore C'nan

2:16 pm

hurshy

so there often isn't any point bothering to talk to her. well, they would know when the higher up people say, hey, you're still using way too much paper - etc.

2:17 pm

Atalante

if they do

2:17 pm

hurshy

yeah. of course the main effect of most of her craziness is just making the center look unprofessional, which is also something that is hard to quantify or have corrected.

2:18 pm

Christine

Hurshy, I remember that a hundred years ago, when we got the first computers in the bank, we were told this would save soooo much paper --- no! the boss wanted hard copies of everything (sometimes in duplicate), and we received triple copies of transactions, to verify, to balance the branch each day.

2:19 pm

hurshy

i know, it's crazy, isn't it christine! i did eventually convince the people at my last job to cut down a lot. everything was on the computer and on a back up drive, backed up every night, and the one from the night before stored in one of those fire-proof boxes. i said, it's hard to imagine some disaster that's going to destroy that but spare the paper!

2:21 pm

hurshy

the thing that bugs me is, i don't think it was wrong for me to go to steve and ask what to do. and he didn't seem to think it was out of line either. and yet somehow she thinks it was very wrong.

2:21 pm

Atalante

and sometimes you have to stand up on these issues - exacly. you weren't wrong

2:22 pm

Christine

Apart from saving trees (!!!! ) doesn't accounting realize she's wasting money?

2:22 pm

hurshy

and then i replied to her email and tried to be conciliatory, hoping to avoid a face-to-face meeting when i get back, and i said that perhaps if we resolved this issue over email we would both find it less emotionally draining. but she said, i think we still need to meet.

2:23 pm

lynxxx

The meeting might clear the air between the 2 of you Hursh. Eat a bit of humble pie especially if you want to keep the job. But say that you want to be honest with her and that you are really really really concerned with the overuse of paper and ask what she thinks you can all, as a team, do about it.

2:23 pm

hurshy

kind of, christine - but we have such a huge bureaucracy that sometimes little things can fall through the cracks.

2:24 pm

Atalante

and do try and get steve to "pop in"

2:24 pm

hurshy

it may clear the air for her, but it won't for me. i know i will just nod and go along with what she says and not say anything i really think, and i will just come out of it feeling even more uncomfortable.

2:25 pm

torgone

That's what she wants hursh

2:25 pm

Atalante

well DON'T then!

2:25 pm

Christine

Well, even if you lose there, you can always come here to vent.

2:25 pm

o-o

How important is keeping the job you have?

2:25 pm

hurshy

well hopefully it will be short, at least.

2:26 pm

o-o

How important is feeling comfortable at your job?

2:26 pm

hurshy

well, i could potentially get a job in a different department, but there aren't as many of those options since the economy got bad.

2:26 pm

lynxxx

I DO think you should talk about what you you are feeling or thinking - 'be honest' - she WILLl appreciate it

2:26 pm

o-o

are you more upset about not saying what you want to than what your superior may say?

2:27 pm

hurshy

feeling comfortable at my job would be nice! but if it's a choice between the frustration of doing irrational things and being a mindless drone, and continuing to have to "talk about this", i definitely would pick the first!

2:27 pm

Christine

Point out, to Steve, the economy dictates you save money, potentially saving jobs!

2:28 pm

hurshy

brabble, i think i'm just upset about having to have the conversation at all. i don't like those sorts of things face to face, no time to really think about what you want to say and decide what is appropriate to say and what isn't in response to whatever the other person says. that's why i tried to get her to keep discussing it over email.

2:28 pm

Atalante

list

2:29 pm

Atalante

write a list of things you wish say / cover

2:29 pm

o-o

there are always going to be questions ,, someone always feels threatened

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

back

2:30 pm

hurshy

i don't even know what i wish to say.

2:30 pm

Christine

yes, Ata, like the list you take to the doctor.

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

hurshy--I can tell you she is't looking forward to the conversation either

2:30 pm

o-o

logic quite often is simply a distraction from someone's agenda

2:30 pm

Atalante

well think about it ;) :)

2:30 pm

hurshy

the trouble is that the things i THINK, i definitely CANNOT say. like the fact that i feel that she is very illogical and doesn't listen to reason...

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

how about practicing what you want to say--fromt he list

2:31 pm

o-o

then use your big brain to tell a story that gets the point across

2:31 pm

hurshy

maybe i can get my best friend to pretend to be my boss and have a mock-conversation for practice. that is what i did for her the other day when she was prepping for a difficult conversation.

2:31 pm

jmcnrick

Boss, I appreciate that you felt that I had stepped out of bounds, but I really felt I didn't know what else to do. What would you suggest the next time something like this arises?

2:31 pm

Atalante

write those things down. it's a lot easier when you've got them in front of you

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all (my mother is talking at me). Hurshy, I have a similar problem with my boss, Richard Head. I cannot say the things I want to say to him, and there is ongoing tension, but it is best if I avoid him.

2:32 pm

hurshy

yes, that's what i was trying to do, avoid her. but i guess she just won't let me.

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

Boss, I have a concern about the environment and I am sure that you do too. I was trying to find a way to meet that concern. How can we work all together to meet it?

2:33 pm

lynxxx

jmc is making a lot of sense Hursh

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

Bring a coworker that agrees with you to the meeting is another idea

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

He places written notes in my office mailbox, and is controlling and critical that way.

2:33 pm

hurshy

yes - that's the trouble - sense doesn't WORK on this woman, hehe.

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

Hey I am the boss here and I know what to say! lol

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

Good ideas, jm

2:34 pm

hurshy

see cause we did try to approach the paper question nicely earlier, and she was totally oblivious to it. she doesn't actually even realize she uses an inordinate amount. and it's like that with everything. she's quite unaware of many aspects of reality.

2:34 pm

Scrabbler

Some people don't listen, don't validate, don't support, don't see the big picture, etc

2:34 pm

jmcnrick

I understand that you feel that way hursh but my experience is that most people want to do a good job and are terrified by face to face meetings and critism of coworkers

2:34 pm

Atalante

sense not working is exactly why you need someone else there to see this

2:35 pm

jmcnrick

you have to take that weakness in her and use it to get what you need

2:35 pm

hurshy

well, i'll do my best on my own, i think, in this meeting, but then if it doesn't go well or something else goes wrong i will have to bring someone else into it.

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

that is why you have to go in there and ask her advice as to how to get what you are looking for-- a greener office place

2:36 pm

jmcnrick

people are always flattered by being asked their advise even if it is advise on how to fix the problem they made

2:36 pm

hurshy

haha

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

I always use that tactic for the servicemembers with their commanding officers lol!

2:37 pm

Atalante

it's true!

2:37 pm

jmcnrick

okay a little help with the z words I am going for nbt

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

I struggle to bite my tongue and not say, "You are a big narcissistic jerk, do you know that? to him.

2:38 pm

hurshy

yeah, actually i was thinking maybe i could say something like, "what would you do if you were in my position?"

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

ze4 = greek letter

2:38 pm

hurshy

ze, greek letter

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

I have only that Z.

2:39 pm

hurshy

ze, like arteries and v****

2:39 pm

Krista

other ze word looks like blood vessel

2:39 pm

Scrabbler

TY, hursh

2:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Krista

2:39 pm

jmcnrick

I swear I tried that--probably on a different day--they all blurr

2:39 pm

Krista

hi scrabbs!

2:39 pm

Scrabbler

My mother is rambling on and is so happy that I am listening

2:40 pm

bichon

Hi Scrabs, et al

2:40 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon

2:40 pm

lynxxx

hi Bichon

2:40 pm

Krista

i just came back from an errand with my mother...hopefully she wont call me now, lol

2:40 pm

Scrabbler

I passed halfway!

2:40 pm

jmcnrick

2:40 pm

I ran by my mother's this morning too!

2:40 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Lynxxx

jmcnrick

2:41 pm

Krista

she will probably call to rehash what we did a few minutes ago

2:41 pm

jmcnrick

hi bichon

2:41 pm

hurshy

ah, mothers

2:41 pm

hurshy

there's a whole other subject for difficulties in human relations :)

2:41 pm

o-o

sometimes, hurshy, thinking about all the angles becomes paralyzing ... if what you have to say is important you have to choose between effectively communicating the problem and your resolution or accepting what will be will be

2:41 pm

Scrabbler

My mother would do that, and then call an additional 2-3 times, with "Oh, I thought of another thing..."

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

now that my mother has moved into a group home she is so much happier

2:42 pm

Krista

lol, yep...TO me you would appreciate this story...

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

I became happier when I left home

2:43 pm

bichon

I've never had a conversation with my mother that she hasn't said "There's something I wanted to tell you but I forget what"

2:43 pm

Krista

While I was on Babble the other night, Mom was doing her own babbling..she was going on about a friend she met up with whose son was a host on MTV...

2:43 pm

hurshy

que sera, sera.... i need to put that on repeat on my comp

2:43 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, bichon!

2:43 pm

Atalante

oh yes bichon!

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

My mother always starts phone calls with "Did you see the obituaries?" And she tells me about who died and how she knew that person or a relative, etc.

2:44 pm

Krista

was he really, Mom? Yep, MTV. He was on there for years. Really? Funny you never mentioned it. I'm dying to know who it was! Anyway, long story short, she meant MPT (maryland public tv...not MTV)...

2:44 pm

Atalante

loooool

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

Or she says, "That person was so young, why do you think they died?"

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

Mother gave up reading the obits

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, krista

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

lol Krista

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

because everyone died that she knew, jm?

2:45 pm

Krista

they are so easy to confuse...

2:45 pm

bichon

My mother thinks more people die younger today because of "unpure living habits" than when she was much younger

2:45 pm

ewaugh07

can i have a clue for the 3rd re6,18 pls?

2:46 pm

Krista

we just came from Hospice...setting it up for my aunt for whom Mom is power of attorney..she is is in her 90's with Alzheimer's and we need to stop the medical madness

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

in part there is no one left from her age group (she's 95) and in part because she is far from Texas which was home for so long

2:46 pm

Scrabbler

99 to go and time to work out. My "lifestyle change" occurred March 5th--di4 + increased exercise. I lost 3 lbs so far....many to go

2:46 pm

bichon

2:48 pm

2:53 pm

Krista

any bilingual babblers lurking? (UK English and US English)? mother-in-law and I keep going around about a man with "calipers" on his legs....

2:53 pm

Krista

yay for ewaugh07!!

2:54 pm

Atalante

makes sense to me

2:54 pm

bichon

calipers on the legs are braces like someone who had polio woul wear

2:54 pm

o-o

I speak english and obfuscation

2:54 pm

Krista

i keep asking if they are what we call "braces.." but when I describe leg braces (not like suspender braces, ha)..she is confused..

2:55 pm

Atalante

yes, leg braces

2:55 pm

Krista

ok bichon and Ata..thanks..either I am not describing braces well, or she is dense (your choice, I'm not saying a word)

2:56 pm

Christine

Krista, I'm English, and when I wore them (early '40s) they were called leg-irons.

2:57 pm

Krista

oh, Christine..calipers sounds much nicer...

2:57 pm

Christine

calipers sounds spiky

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

I wore leg braces in the early '50s

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

all the rage

2:58 pm

Krista

i think of a measuring device when i hear calipers..all what you are used to hearing

2:58 pm

Christine

Krista - I like yor icon: it looks quilt-y

2:58 pm

bichon

I once had an English boyfriend who wore caliper cause of childhood polio

2:59 pm

Krista

thanks, Christine..i needed some color

2:59 pm

Christine

yes, spiky thing to measure size of my knee, after surgery

2:59 pm

Atalante

is it a stylistic crab?

3:00 pm

Krista

everyone ok now, after having to wear calipers/braces? couldnt be pleasant..

3:00 pm

joshuavorbis

i wear a leg brace every day

3:00 pm

Krista

yes, it is...only an artist would have noticed that ;)

3:00 pm

Atalante

:P

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

I don't even remember it

3:00 pm

Christine

I had polio and rheumatic fever at age 4; left me breathless, and with weakened limbs, so wore the braces until I was 9, when the British Red Cross taught me to walk again

3:01 pm

Krista

all your life, joshua (if that's not too personal...)?....wow, christine...

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

I was born without hip sockets so the braces sorta ground them in--I still can't touch my toes because I can't bend that well

3:02 pm

oodleberry

later

3:02 pm

Atalante

ooo wow jmc!

3:02 pm

Krista

done, oodle?

3:02 pm

Christine

hold up, Krista - your ninepatch is a crab?

3:03 pm

Krista

i have never heard of that, jmc!...Ata is teasing me because I have only used pictures of crabs as my icon until now, lol

3:04 pm

Christine

thank heaven, I was really concerned

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

it happened to a cousin of mine as well but other than I can't do some yoga positions i don't even think of it

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

I do have one photo in which you can see the braces

3:04 pm

Krista

i should have kept you going, Christine....what? you can't see the crab?!

3:04 pm

jmcnrick

ty Krista I kept thinking I was really dense and unartistic that I couldn't see the crab

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

I looked several times

3:05 pm

Atalante

looooool sorry!

3:05 pm

Krista

LOLOL...I let you off the hook too easily, darn it..could have had some fum with that one

3:06 pm

Krista
