Smarty pants.

2:18 am

J. C.

Well, my new name on the forum is now 'Sissy Pantz' actually, Frances . . .

2:18 am

rolin

im impressed.... shame im not teaching any more

2:18 am

Frances

LOL J.C.

2:18 am

jillibus

Awww, JC

2:19 am

jillibus

I want "situ" as in "in situ". If enable likes things like "rotl" and such, why not "situ"? Don't bother to answer...

2:20 am

J. C.

I couldn't answer that even if I wanted to, Jilli . . .

2:20 am

J. C.

Because I have no clue! :P

2:20 am

rolin

same way it will let some slang in but not others...im still fighting for the word 'hoon' to be allowed

2:21 am

Frances

Same way it will allow senor but not herr.

2:21 am

jillibus

don't know "hoon" -- what is it?

2:21 am

J. C.

Now that's prejudice! :P

2:21 am

jillibus

is monsieur ok?

2:22 am

rolin

its the aussie word for 'yob'... enable lets yob in...so why not 'hoon'..?

2:22 am

o-o

complaining about enable is even less effective than trying to empty the ocean with a sieve

2:22 am

Frances

Haven't notice that one come up jilli.

2:22 am

rolin

i believe theres a southern hemisphere bias...*snooty sniff*

2:25 am

mrpresident

ok, just got a couple of kids brought in

2:26 am

o-o

good luck, mrp

2:26 am

mrpresident

thanks :)

2:26 am

jillibus

in bad shape, mrp?

2:27 am

mrpresident

yeah, crying

2:29 am

mrpresident

their mother is missing... I would be crying too!

2:29 am

jillibus

poor kids!

2:29 am

jillibus

who brought them in?

2:31 am

rolin

ok..im off to work... have a good day everyone..

2:31 am

jillibus

ah, got all the Ys :)

2:31 am

J. C.

You too, rolin . . .

2:32 am

Frances

And you rolin

2:32 am

jillibus

bye rolin

2:32 am

J. C.

You'e doing better than me again, Jilli - still need one Y.

2:32 am

jillibus

but I still have 74 unfound, JC, and it's bedtime

2:32 am

Frances

I got all the Ys.

2:33 am

J. C.

Again, doing much better than me!

2:33 am

J. C.

I have 94 unfound . . .

2:33 am

Frances

You are doing better than me there.

2:34 am

jillibus

but I went to the list ages ago

2:34 am

J. C.

Oh, I see - I haven't yet.

2:34 am

J. C.

But will need to, any time . . .

2:35 am

jillibus

I think this is a toughie

2:35 am

J. C.

I concur . . .

2:36 am

jillibus

And a good night/day/evening/afternoon to all here and the lurkers -- *poof*

2:36 am

o-o

this grid is a vroom vroom vroom

2:36 am

Frances

Night jilli. Sweet dreams.

2:42 am

Frances

Fancy a cuppa J.C. The kettle is whistling.

2:45 am

J. C.

Ooh yes please, Frances . . . soy milk and one level tsp. of sugar, please! ;)

2:46 am

Frances

You do know that I only keep sugar for you.

Hello, Joshua!

2:49 am

Trifioso

good morning babble friend - ugh. 3>30 AM, can't sleep, hoping babble might help....

2:49 am

J. C.

Good morning, Trifioso!

2:50 am

J. C.

Ask Frances for a cup of tea - she just brewed up. ;)

2:50 am

Trifioso

morning JC, et al

2:50 am

joshuavorbis

reasonably quick NBT

2:50 am

Trifioso

only if it has benadryl in it....

2:50 am

J. C.

Ugh - hayfever?

2:50 am

Trifioso

no hay yet!!!

2:51 am

J. C.

Well, no - but allergies, I should've said?

2:51 am

J. C.

There is pollen about . . .

2:51 am

Trifioso

yeah, not sure. Just a sleepless night, I guess. Happens.

2:51 am

Frances

I'm back.

2:52 am

Trifioso

thank goodness there is always babble.

2:52 am

Frances

Hi Trif and josh.

2:52 am

J. C.

Indeed . . .

2:52 am

Trifioso

frances! please stop staring at me.

2:52 am

J. C.

Where's my tea, Frances?

2:53 am

Frances

Coming up J.C.

2:53 am

Frances

Me, stare Trif. As if.

2:53 am

J. C.

Yes - with that one eye of yours.

2:53 am

J. C.

Frances must be a cyclops . . .

2:53 am

Trifioso

ahem. I can personally attest that "yous" is completely a word here in Boston.

2:54 am

Frances

But if you click on it, it will wink at you.....in my profile.

2:54 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, apparently - and someone else from there was typing it as 'yoose' earlier, Trif.

2:54 am

Trifioso

I know, Frances! scared the h*ll out of me.

2:54 am

Trifioso

oooh, really? It wasn't Car, was it?

2:55 am

J. C.

No, it wasn't car.eeyore, but I can't remember who it was now . . .

2:55 am

Trifioso

She is my little sister, did you know?

2:55 am

J. C.

Well no I didn't, but then again I don't know either of you yet, really.

2:56 am

J. C.

That's interesting . . . :)

2:57 am

Trifioso

our older sister babbles too (kadresa) but she is never on when the english folks are, as she works during the day hours here

2:57 am

J. C.

Oh, I see . . .

2:59 am

GridLock

I suppose babbling might be pleasant near a brook.

2:59 am

J. C.

Yes . . .

3:02 am

Trifioso

the eu4 makes me wonder....JC, other Brits, do you hear of any interest on the part of Brits to change over from pound sterling, or is everyone happy with things they way they are?

3:04 am

marigold

b urbu

3:05 am

J. C.

Well I'm happy with the way things are, and so are most people I know - resistance is not always futile! ;)

3:05 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . 'kittehs'?

3:05 am

Haz1558

Trif, I don't know that there is any great move to change over. Some of us are still counting how much things would be in shilings and that's quite enough of a shock! Experience in South of Ireland was that changeover to the eu4 resulted in huge price rises.

3:06 am

Trifioso

thanks jc...just wondered if maybe people are a bit fed up having to exchange money when traveling and such

3:07 am

Trifioso

morning, haz! My sil and bil live in Cavan in Ireland, and it is quite a burden for them, having to exchange money everytime they need to go to their nearest grocers, which is in Northern Ireland, and thus on a diff currency. Total pain.

3:08 am

Haz1558

Good morning Trif et al. Some shops do accept eu4 although it does tend to be the bigger ones. It would be a pain having to pay out commission all the time.

3:08 am

Trifioso

forgive, JC - it's a holdover from cuteoverload.com, which I could live without, but the wee girls in this house luuuuurv

3:09 am

Haz1558

At the minute, with the exchange rate the way it is, there are more shoppers heading north than in the other direction.

3:09 am

Trifioso

the funniest part was when they got their first mobile bill after they moved - they are so close to the border that everytime Rachael was on the phone and wandered in to her kitchen, "roaming charges" applied, as she had "left the EU"

3:09 am

Haz1558

Has she learned to stand still?

3:10 am

Trifioso

knowing her, no! she is one of the busiest, most amazing women I know

3:11 am

Haz1558

It's a bit scary that the technology keeps quite such close tabs, isn't it?

3:11 am

Trifioso

their house is jaw dropping - a 30+ room pile built by a friend of Oliver Cromwells, and former home to one of Winston Churchill's aunts, or something....and then left derelict for years. I swear, you walk in and you can hear a cash register running. But they love restoring it, and are having a ball - 7 walled acres, 3 boys under 8 - heaven!

3:12 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

3:12 am

Haz1558

Good evening lynxxx.

3:13 am

Trifioso

hello lynxx!

3:13 am

Haz1558

I'm assuming they keep the Oliver Cromwell connection quiet?

3:13 am

Trifioso

oh, gosh, I don't know - they are CoI, so maybe not?

3:14 am

Haz1558

Do they have to liaise with any sort of heritage organisation with regard to the restoration?

3:14 am

Trifioso

They do open the house for tours and such, at least 90 days a year, and thus receive good tax breaks, so maybe Ian mentions it on the tour.

3:14 am

lynxxx

Are they Irish born Trif?

3:15 am

Trifioso

I think so, yes. I know the house has it's own category in the historic houses section, and has since before they owned it. And yes, Lynxx, Rachael was born in raised in Cavan, so the locals are delighted at their return, and that they are using it as a family home and not some hotel.

3:15 am

Trifioso

Ian is from Dublin

3:16 am

Haz1558

I know that in the north and in the rest of UK, you can't just do what you like with an historic building - it can be a bit of a pain, to say the least. Still, it's great that it's being lived in and used again.

3:16 am

lynxxx

fascinating, I hope you have been able to visit them, would be great for the kids

3:17 am

Trifioso

oh, hey -- they have a link now! Here you go:

mama2maddie

any clues for the ur5/12?

3:19 am

mama2maddie

nevermind...got it

3:19 am

joshuavorbis

just got that seconds ago, mama - change the first letter to a popular font

3:19 am

joshuavorbis

oh, nevermind from here too

3:19 am

mama2maddie

;-)

3:19 am

Haz1558

That's great. We have a TV programme here called Grand Designs - many of the houses are built from scratch, others are restorations of old houses, some of them in ruins. It's fascinating to watch them being brought back from destruction but enormous patience is required to deal with the red tape as well as the problems of the build.

3:20 am

Trifioso

grand designs...sounds very interesting!

3:20 am

Trifioso

the best part is the double wine cellars - one for red wines, one for whites -- how posh is THAT!

3:21 am

Haz1558

It's a great programme, not your usual 'change a room in two seconds' approach.

3:21 am

lynxxx

Brilliant show

3:21 am

Haz1558

You get it in Australia, lynxxx? Amazing!

3:22 am

Andree

hi everyone

3:22 am

Andree

yes we get that show here haz

3:22 am

lynxxx

One of our favorites here. They are even advertising here for new builds for Grand Designs Australia - don't know if kevin is coming out here for it

3:23 am

Haz1558

Good evening, Andree.

3:23 am

Trifioso

morning andree!

3:23 am

lynxxx

hi Andree

3:23 am

joshuavorbis

got the 8/9

3:24 am

Haz1558

That would be interesting if he did, lynxxx. He'd have to keep coming back and forward, so many of the houses seem to take longer than expected to be built.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

hi

3:24 am

Trifioso

do the hosts help with the renovations?

3:24 am

Trifioso

HERIN!!!! pounce

3:24 am

Haz1558

I like his approach - not afraid to get his hands dirty and always trying to understand what the people are trying to achieve.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

offffff

3:25 am

Trifioso

we have a show called "This Old House" - I am thinking it is similar. they will feature one house for several weeks at a time, showing each part of the process.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Only to an extent, Trif. Kevin McLoud acts as a kind of interested observer who'll lend a hand now and again but not in a staged way.

3:25 am

herinfernallady

its just a quick drop in as I am at the gym waiting for my class to start

3:26 am

Trifioso

did you bring your lap top or something, or have you commandeered a gym comp to babble?

3:26 am

herinfernallady

second one triffs. my lap top is not happy without a cooling fan

3:27 am

Trifioso

oh, how funny are you!

3:27 am

lynxxx

I saw a show recently hosted by "The Hotel Inspector", seems to be on keeping historic homes 'afloat'. The one I saw was on a 15th century manor house - the garden was just too beautiful, even more than the house, which was jaw droppingly gorgeous

3:27 am

Haz1558

http://tinyurl.com/aw3ssv
is the address of the TV show (it's on our Channel 4)

3:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, the Hotel Inspector is another one which I enjoy watching just to see inside houses.

3:28 am

lynxxx

this Old House is not the same as Grand Designs

3:28 am

herinfernallady

think i am allowed babble time since i have read mny contract law book since 1130am today till 530sm

3:28 am

herinfernallady

opps PM not am

3:28 am

Trifioso

this is so frustrating! we have a channel here now called BBC America, and it was pretty good there for a while, but now it is dreadful, I am afraid. Literally six or seven episodes of cash in the attic a day. Not a bad show, I guess, but six eppys a day is a bit much.

3:29 am

Haz1558

'Cash in the attic' is not BBC's finest hour.

3:29 am

Trifioso

and nothing current at all.

3:29 am

Haz1558

If you have to have repeats, I'm sure they could have come up with something better.

3:29 am

Trifioso

I wish they would put on things like Strictly Come Dancing, or Britains' Got Talent, or any of the dramas that do so well.

3:30 am

Trifioso

BBC World News is always worth a watch, though.

3:30 am

herinfernallady

I love ABC 1 and 2

3:30 am

lynxxx

Do you rememeber "Selling Houses" Haz? The host of that now lives in Australia and so we have Selling Houses Australia, same format

3:30 am

Trifioso

And I know, I know, you are all still angry about the Tea in the Harbor and all, but hey - was that ANY reason to inflict S Club 7 on us?

3:31 am

Haz1558

'Selling houses' doesn't ring a bell. Who was the host?

3:31 am

herinfernallady

*mutters* something about waste of tea

3:31 am

Haz1558

We've forgotten all about S Club 7.

3:32 am

Trifioso

*mutters* something about taxes without representation

3:33 am

lynxxx

Andrew Winter

3:33 am

Haz1558

The name's not familiar, lynxxx, I'll google him to see if I recognise the face.

3:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, now that I see him, I recognise him.

3:34 am

herinfernallady

do you want to hear the most ridiculous rule they imposed on girls in the bulding that houses builders and Design students

3:34 am

Andree

maybe thats why he came here, if he is not recognised there

3:35 am

Haz1558

I recognise him now. There are so many shows on about selling houses etc that it's easy to lose track.

3:35 am

Trifioso

no skirts?

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Its better than that. The design students *obviously not the building grrls* have been told that they can not wear singlets and anything revealing or could be seen as revealing as its an OHS issue to the boys as distracted they could injury them selfs with tools

3:37 am

herinfernallady

I told teh teacher that it is the most sexist and disgusting rule I have ever heard. In summer girls will wear short skirts and singlets.

3:38 am

Trifioso

"obviously not the building girls" - erm, what did THAT mean?

3:39 am

Trifioso

and I find hot men in shorts in the summer pretty distracting, I must admit

3:39 am

herinfernallady

the girls that are training builders cant wear un safe clothes on site but it was the Design students that were told this. I told the co ordinator if that was me they could send me home to change I wouldn't

3:39 am

lynxxx

and its a really good time for the building 'guys' to practice their wolf whistles etc, they have a long standing tradition to maintain

3:40 am

Trifioso

lol, lynxx! I think that "not the building girls" thing was way mean.

3:40 am

herinfernallady

teehee Lynxx.And its not like the girls that go and stare at them through the glass either

3:40 am

herinfernallady

*not me not ever * snicker snort

3:42 am

herinfernallady

right must go. Love you and leave u

3:43 am

Trifioso

have a good class, sweet herin

hi BabRab - I was going to say a bad picture done by aboriginals - I wasn't so far away from it

3:50 am

Trifioso

BR as usual your profile is genius. Here's another question: what does it say about us that "misogynist" is a commonly used and understood word, but hardly anyone knows the companion "misanthrope"

3:50 am

3:58 am

oodleberry

slammed where?

3:58 am

Trifioso

slammed busy, I meant. sorry

4:00 am

oodleberry

yes I know busy but doing what

4:00 am

oodleberry

we usually say that in the serving business

4:00 am

Haz1558

You ask your clients what they're doing for the rest of the day?

4:01 am

Trifioso

oh, duh - see how good I am without sleep? Yes, I must have picked that up from Car, who "sled dogged" as we call it here, for years. anyway, the usual happy busy - drs appts for one and all, tertiare for a research study tomorrow night, and the usual house stuff. i am lucky to have a busy schedule, don't get me wrong! just not a day with a lot of nap slots

4:01 am

oodleberry

um

4:02 am

Trifioso

will pretty much need coffee by IV

4:04 am

lynxxx

only half way, this is going to be a long grid for me. BBL

See you later, lynxxx. I'm taking a break as well but making progress.

4:05 am

4:17 am

I'm a night owl from way back. Hubby works the night shift, I sleep in with him in the AM

4:18 am

but this is a bit later than I usually stay up.

4:18 am

I htink I might try to sleep a bit now - have to be up in 45...nytol1

4:19 am

rbud

good luck with your day, Trif.

4:20 am

oodleberry

seems like you have a real good life rbud and cute name

4:22 am

rbud

well, I like your name, too, oodle, how'd you get it?

4:25 am

oodleberry

well 10 years ago when I wanted to find and ORIGINAL name to play against a friend i had known for a while... I went through about 50 or 60 names till I got to noodleberry and doodleberry to the n and d of respectively and voilÃ ... course in the same site there are two names I also use oodlesoberries with and with out underscores before and after the 'o'. and there you have... no you know the rest of the story

4:27 am

oodleberry

reason for oodlesoberries is cause I fergotted my password for oodleberry... one day I forgot one letter in my password and got in on the original name

4:28 am

rbud

ah! very detailed, ty! :) I've only been on the internet for a year and a half, it's all pretty new to me. I have trouble recalling PW's all the time. :( Should make lists, I suppose.

6:31 am

sprite

oh wow wtg Scrabs! They would be fools to say no.

6:31 am

carleekat

and we can turf richard mule off the nearest cliff now?

6:32 am

Andree

hope you hear from them soon scrabbs

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I must leave Boss Richard Head. The daily abuse is dangerous to my health. In my letter I tried to explain why the group here should take me on.

6:33 am

sprite

let them ask about you in Babble land for references.

6:33 am

Aloyisius

great idea, sprite!

6:33 am

Scrabbler

It is a financial issue--whether they can afford to take on a new MD.

6:33 am

mrpresident

oh scrabbs.... sir richard cranium is not worth it

6:33 am

carleekat

for references... please see www.playbabble.com

6:33 am

6:34 am

Aloyisius

am making an R.Head voodoo doll

6:34 am

Scrabbler

TY, Sprite! I will tell them to get letters of reference from: Sprite, Aloyisius, Grey Woulf, Periwinkle, FeatherBee....and Mr President herself, etc--all very distinguished names.

6:34 am

mrpresident

scrabbs, bullying is against the law... get evidence with a mp4 player

6:34 am

sprite

consider yourself hired already then :D

6:35 am

Aloyisius

that will surely wow them Scrabbler!

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Sprite, I did explain how adding me will add to revenue in many ways, so that they CAN afford another MD.

6:35 am

mrpresident

I would pay you across the ocean to take care of mine :)

6:35 am

sprite

exactly Scrabs, and it is the simple truth. They would benefit the most.

6:36 am

Scrabbler

And I explained my desperation, that I am shamelessly begging.

Dear Mum,

7:31 am

carleekat

will I cry?..I don't feel like crying

7:31 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm sorry. I tried but I guess I didn't try hard enough.

7:32 am

licketySplitAUS

I knew you were tired and at first, yeah, I didn't want to clean my room

7:32 am

carleekat

oh crap..the tears already coming

7:32 am

licketySplitAUS

but when I got into it I was thinking of how proud you would be of me if my room was clean

7:32 am

licketySplitAUS

and I was proud of myself.

7:32 am

mrpresident

don't cry darling! it ends really beautifully! promise

7:33 am

licketySplitAUS

As I said before I knew you were tired so I wanted to make dinner for you, Luke, dad and I so you didn't have to do it, you could relax

7:33 am

carleekat

7:33 am

licketySplitAUS

Then it got me thinking....why don't I do the dishes after dinner. I was trying to make you happy.

7:34 am

licketySplitAUS

The whole time I was cleaning my room I was thinking of you and how happy you would be that I actually made an effort, actually a pretty big effor, to clean my room and then after it all I was going to get into my pj's and spend some time with dad.

7:35 am

licketySplitAUS

When I told you it all wnet down the tube, I guess I was asking for it. It's completely my fault.

7:35 am

licketySplitAUS

I didn't want to clean my room and I should have a long time ago and I should listen to you and dad more, actually scratch that

7:35 am

licketySplitAUS

, all the time.

7:35 am

licketySplitAUS

I was trying to make you happy. This letter probably doesn't mean anything

7:35 am

mrpresident

ok, now I am crying! She hasn't an objectionable bone in her body

7:36 am

licketySplitAUS

but I just wanted to let you know how I feel. It was all my fault.

7:36 am

licketySplitAUS

I should have listended and I hope you can forgive me.

7:36 am

licketySplitAUS

Form a very sorry daughter.

7:43 am

herinfernallady

OK I have this awesome way of dealing with crap in my wardrob.

7:44 am

mom2han8

OK herin do tell.

7:44 am

herinfernallady

Ok what you do is open your wardrobe door. You will likely freak out at the crap that threatens to eat you.

7:46 am

mom2han8

ok... that's step one...

7:47 am

herinfernallady

Just start small. Look at the clothes on the floor of the wardrobe. Pick up 5 items and try on each item. Shoes as well. Pretend you are at a store. If you can't put it on, its uncomfortable put it in the give / sell bag, If its really crappy bin it. If it needs fixing put in a fixing bag. If the items need a wash put it in the laundry basket. Seriously If you wouldn't walk out the store with it WHY THE HELL IS IT IN YOUR WARDROBE

7:48 am

robbie09

good morning everyone, and lol hern on the wardrobe advice

7:48 am

mom2han8

8:13 am

herinfernallady

8:16 am

mom2han8

ok.. see you did it Sue... LOL.

8:16 am

suefrad625

go figure, and yes been to the sites. This is just a bear at 44. I dropped out in the 10th grade, so I dont think I ever saw this stuff before

8:17 am

mom2han8

when I took algebra I was good at it, but i am a little rusty1

8:17 am

robbie09

sorry Toad about Frankie....also cute picture!

8:17 am

suefrad625

the amazing thing is that my 3rd grader is doing graphing already

8:17 am

mom2han8

My daughter has advanced math in 7th grade and they are doing algebra... I can still help her, LOL.

8:18 am

mom2han8

they say that if you are good at word games you should be good at algebra, as it has "language" components in addition to math... don't know how true that is!

8:18 am

herinfernallady

OH now Toady so you just have one black kitty now?

8:18 am

robbie09

my son doesn't use a calculator to solve his graphing math problems...It's amazing to me

8:19 am

suefrad625

if you refresh you will see my youngest

8:19 am

toadandtoadette

ya. we just have Meyer. he gets lonely but I'm scared to get another cat as I'm not sure how he'd respond since he's never been exposed to another except Frank

8:19 am

toadandtoadette

we are talking about getting a dog once we get back to the USA in a couple of months

8:19 am

herinfernallady

Toad are you on FB?

8:19 am

suefrad625

"he's a mess", that is how they say it here in the south

8:19 am

mom2han8

Some people are just good at mental math... my daughter is one of them... it used to drive me nuts when the teacher would mark her wrong because she did not "show her work" on some simple problem

8:20 am

toadandtoadette

yes, toadandtoadette

8:20 am

robbie09

that would be nice toad

8:20 am

toadandtoadette

@gmail.com is my address

8:20 am

suefrad625

well, I think the best thing to do is load up the dog and go for a few miles walk. That will clear my head and make me feel better. See you all soon.

8:21 am

robbie09

I had the same problem when my son was younger, but now that he is in college...they don't give partial credit for answers anymore, so it's not an isssue

8:21 am

toadandtoadette

we will have to see about the dog though. Bryan'll be in medical school for a year; thus it'll be my dog since he'll never be home. so I have to decide if I really want the added resposibility.

8:21 am

robbie09

good luck Sue

8:22 am

mom2han8

OMG... the first day of 5th grade they had to take a test where they added two three digit numbers and the paper did not say to show your work... she got a zero... I had never gone to school and complained about anything... so the teacher said well how do I know she did not cheat? I about hit the roof... so i brought her in front of the teacher and fired off a bunch of the same type of equations, which she did in her head in front of the teacher.. needless to say her grade got changed... LOL.

8:22 am

mom2han8

bye sue good luck.

8:22 am

robbie09

good for you mom

8:22 am

herinfernallady

Toad I jsut messaged you

8:23 am

mom2han8

yeah well.. I was nice about it, as I was on the Board of Ed at the time, LOL! So, I had to be, but really I was like, are you kidding me??? All she would have had to do was call my kid in and have her do a couple of equations in front of her to determine whether or not she had cheated.

8:23 am

toadandtoadette

thanks sadie52...lol

8:25 am

toadandtoadette

I am on fb a lot

8:26 am

mom2han8

Well, really some of these teachers are just a pain in the a**... my kid is involved in the play right now and I would like to strangle those in charge as they should know the attention span of the average middle schooler, LOL!

8:26 am

herinfernallady

Today I was informed that if you have classes in the building that houses the building students *they have a HUGE workshop and lots of glass so you can see in" you are not allowed to wear revealing clothes as its distracting to the boys. I told the teacher that it was the most ridiculous rule i had ever heard and that it was sexist. If a nice young lady can't wear a shortish skirt and singlet they can go get froged

8:26 am

mom2han8

So they spend 1/2 the time at rehearsals haranguing them, but there is just too much downtime for most of these kids...

8:27 am

suefrad625

Just thought I would tell you all a funny. Yesterday I took the hampster out for a romp in the grass and my cat was very upset that I didnt let her eat her. So this morning I woke up to a dead mouse in front of my bedroom door. I dont know if it was saying "see, I can get my own" or a threat to the hampster.

8:27 am

herinfernallady

lol Sue

8:28 am

mom2han8

we have a three finger rule for sleeveless tops (the shoulders must be at least 3 fingers wide) and the rule for skirts is that they must be as long as your middle finger when you dangle your hand at your side.

8:28 am

zoozzoom

hahahahah

8:28 am

mom2han8

sue... probably both, LOL.

8:28 am

robbie09

my daughter got detention for not buttoning the sleeves on her blouse! I bought her a sleeveless blouse after that!

8:28 am

mom2han8

I don't know how old your kids are herin, but I will tell you that some of these kids (and parents) really need some guidelines, LOL.

8:28 am

herinfernallady

Well mum we are talking about over 18s

8:29 am

mom2han8

Well that is a little ridiculous Robbie

8:29 am

mom2han8

Oh, well then herin I say anything goes!

8:29 am

8:29 am

zoozzoom

yes one 4,6

8:30 am

herinfernallady

I mean I understand looking decent and respectful as its a school not a night club but to say its distracting to the boys please. Its so rude and archic

8:30 am

harpjane

thanks

8:30 am

harpjane

what are the stats for the U please?

8:30 am

robbie09

Yes I know..lol

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

i have a ur4/5

8:30 am

mom2han8

A couple of years ago they had to send a kid home because she was wearing a sweatsuit that had Juicy plastered across the rump... so the parent wrote to the Board of Ed complaining about the policy... the kid was in 6th grade (so 11 or 12 years old)... I was like really this woman is crazy to think that that would ever be appropriate in middle school... she carried on about how much the outfit cost... like we cared.

8:30 am

mom2han8

yes herin it is both rude and archaic.

8:31 am

robbie09

she can still wear this expensive outfit outside of school!

8:32 am

harpjane

in a way, that's blaming the girls/women for having bodies. maybe they should put restrictions on the teenage boys instead?

8:32 am

mom2han8

Yes, of course... but would you really let your 11 year old wear that anywhere????

8:33 am

robbie09

apparently this mom did!

8:33 am

mom2han8

I am no prude, but I really think that is inappropriate attire for a pre-teen.

8:33 am

harpjane

no, but i know people who show up for COURT dressed like that....

8:33 am

herinfernallady

11 or 12 that is wrong. And its also to me enforcing this very wrong idea that because a woman looks like ''she's up for it'' she deserves what she gets or deserved to be harassed.

8:33 am

mom2han8

Well, yes... apparently she did. But it was just the craziest letter and discussion I ever had to engage in!

8:34 am

robbie09

lol harp

8:34 am

herinfernallady

Harp I have known a judge to boot someone out of court for being disrespectful in their attire

8:34 am

harpjane

ask the mother if she would let her daughter go in front of a judge dressed like that, if it was a child custody case!

8:34 am

EvaNadine

when i taught at the dance studio, we had a rule that none of the kids (no matter how old) were allowed to show up wearing any clothing with writing on the rear end. they would be sent out of class.

8:34 am

herinfernallady

Hi Eva

8:35 am

EvaNadine

hola. :)

8:35 am

mom2han8

Herin... I don't subscribe to that way of thinking at all... but girls do dress to attract boys, that's a fact... but my thing is that just because they sell it does not mean you have to buy it for your pre-teen and expect that it will not be deemed inappropriate for school.

8:35 am

mom2han8

Listen, I am a size 12 and just because they sell something in my size does not mean I should wear it... LOL!

8:35 am

herinfernallady

Mum I mean this from an over 18 point of view. I was 18 when i got my first kiss. So looking like a tart was not me.

8:36 am

EvaNadine

they sell thongs for toddlers nowadays. they will sell anything!

8:36 am

mom2han8

My teenager is such a prude... I love short shorts, as I have good legs and am short, so they make me look good.... they are not crawling up my butt or revealing any mysteries... but she is like, Mom are you going to wear those... so I don't wear them if it bothers her.

8:36 am

herinfernallady

Then again a few girls in my class are harrasing the builders so that is a bit of a giggle. First time i have seen teh girls go and snicker at the sexy boys

8:37 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me what eva? Never heard that before

8:37 am

mom2han8

OMG... let the toddlers have them!

8:37 am

robbie09

In high school I wore "hot pants" lol...but I beleive that was better than those short short skirts!

8:37 am

mom2han8

Like I said just because they make it in your size does not mean you should wear it, LOL!

8:37 am

herinfernallady

Have you heard of the Age Progression for children?

8:38 am

mom2han8

Robbie.. like I said I love the short shorts (not Daisy dukes by any means), but there is a time and a place for them... I would not wear them to help out at school or to court, LOL!

8:38 am

mom2han8

No herin I am not familiar with that term.

8:39 am

herinfernallady

Ok its were you get a photo of your darling 2 year old and touch up the photo

8:39 am

Flask1

Oh hot pants were fab....felt so sexy wearing them!!!

8:40 am

toadandtoadette

my husband refuses to shop at the Gap because he saw thongs for little girls being sold there a few years back.

8:40 am

herinfernallady

They now sell Slim fit Jeans Toad

8:41 am

robbie09

flask they were all the rage when I was in high school...with a wide belt!

8:41 am

mom2han8

My kid at 13 is bordering on being a D cup... not real comfortable for her now, but in a few years I am sure she will love "the girls"... in any case, what this means for her is that she does not wear revealing shirts. Luckily, like I said, she is a bit of a prude so I don't have any arguments with her about it, but you should see the way some of these girls come to school... butt cheeks and boobs hanging out at 13 years old and then their parents are shocked when they are reprimanded for it...

8:42 am

Flask1

yes well I agree with him completely toad, kids are dressed far too old far far too quickly....

8:42 am

mom2han8

Our principal has a collection of Rutgers t-shirts in his office... it's hysterical to go to the school and see some of the girls with the 2XL Rutgers shirt over the inappropriate shirt they wore to school... LOL

8:42 am

robbie09

i agree mom

8:42 am

herinfernallady

Got to feel for her mum. Its not right

8:43 am

herinfernallady

I like your schools Principle Mom

8:43 am

Flask1

Robbie I loved them.....I was 19/20 when they came out

8:43 am

mom2han8

She is built like me herin... she will get used to it, I did.

8:44 am

mom2han8

Oh, yes... he is a good guy... and he knows how to push their buttons... really no girl wants to be wandering the halls wearing the t-shirt of shame, LOL!

8:44 am

mom2han8

He found the exact right way to deal with it, in my opinion!

8:44 am

toadandtoadette

my son has a pair of slim fit jeans from H&M. they look funny on him though because he is so skinny but the diaper makes him look like he's got a big butt.

8:44 am

robbie09

the t-shirt of shame..lol

8:45 am

mom2han8

That's what I call it (and now so do my daughter and her friends)... he called me cracking up when he heard the term!

8:45 am

robbie09

It's cute when they are that age mom!

8:45 am

mom2han8

But really I congratulated him on handling it in exactly the right way!

8:46 am

mom2han8

yes they can be quite cute.

8:46 am

herinfernallady

snicker at t -shirt of shame. What is wrong with them being kids at that age?

8:46 am

mom2han8

He is no nonsense! But he is also warm and funny and truly wants the kids to learn how to behave.

8:46 am

mom2han8

WEll, you should see how some of their mothers dress, LOL!

8:47 am

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

8:47 am

toadandtoadette

I don't know if any of you watch America's Next Top Model with Tyra Banks. Every season she picks a different "cause" to support throughout the show. This season it is helping kids be kids. she's advocating that girls are growing up too fast

8:47 am

mom2han8

or their mothers' facebook pages... every Monday they have pics posted of parties they all attended... they look like drunk hookers.. and I'm like where are the kids? Probably there, just not in the pics.

8:48 am

mom2han8

She also has a NYC based talk show that my daughter and I watch.

8:48 am

tygerbryght

I need help with al5/14, pls

in 1968 the skirts were ALL short! My cousin's school had a dress code that said skirts had to go to the knee. parents rebelled because the stores didn't have anything that qualified on their racks!

8:49 am

mom2han8

I went to Catholic school and they used to put the tape measure up to you if they thought your skirt was too short... it had to be 3" below the knee.

8:50 am

Hi. Popping in for a bit before I bake oatmeal cookies. This is an issue near & dear to my heart, I am somewhat saved from this because as Orthodox Jews we are required to dress modestly but what I see going around really shocks and saddens me.

8:50 am

8:50 am

mom2han8

Michnick.. it really can be quite shocking!

8:50 am

Michnick

Why would any mother want her 3, 5, 8 11 or even 13 yr old to dress like a "working woman". And then they wander why kids are sexually active so early!

Might I add most of those girls are just cute to start with or not that interesting at all. Poor little guys

8:54 am

mom2han8

They have some reality show where they show these little kids participating in pageants and I find the whole thing so repellent.

8:54 am

Haz1558

I think part of the problem is that too many mothers have lost the ability to say 'no' and to stick to 'no' and not give in to pressure.

8:54 am

mom2han8

When I was a little girl I participated in The Little Miss America pageant for a couple of years because it was held close by at Palisades Park Amusement Park... and we wore pinafores and such...

8:55 am

tygerbryght

I can't help but feel that what they're doing is putting temptation in the way of perverts - who need NO encouragement :( :( :(

8:55 am

robbie09

oh, and as a teacher i saw girls bring clothes to school to change into them so that their parents didn't know what they were really wearing

8:55 am

mom2han8

Haz... they also want to be their childrens "friends".. it's crazy... play with people your own age...

8:55 am

mom2han8

Robbie.... and they do that with make-up, too.

8:55 am

tygerbryght

you are ***SO*** right, mom2

8:56 am

oh yes they put the makeup on at school

8:56 am

Michnick

I agree 100% Haz. Just yesterday I had an issue w/my 14 y.o. She & her friends wanted to sleep in an empty apartment. I said no - of course I am the only 'mean' mom. Her friend's mom (who'se apt it is) said OH, You said no? OK I'll tell my daughter you called me. She couldn't even admit she had called ME!

8:56 am

tygerbryght

you can be friends with your kids when they're grown. until then, they *need* parents - not parents masquerading as grown-up friends!

8:57 am

my son and I are friends now. of course, he's 44 :D

Absolutely right, Michnick. Just refuse to be manipulated.

9:00 am

Well I "pop in" at school all the time (the Board of Ed office is in her school) so my kid knows better than to try the makeup thing... and she is entirely too lazy to bring extra clothes to school and change, LOL!

9:00 am

herinfernallady

I can't wait till I get my eyelashes tinted tommorrow so then i can run about and act like a total AIR HEAD. Seriously I put make up on yesterday just a bit of eyeshadow a goldie colour with a light black over it and guys were all '' oh do you need help with your suitcase'' grrr

Morning, all. lol, herin. Work it, girl!

9:01 am

mom2han8

The other night she went to a dance so I put a little mascara and lip gloss on her... I think that is fine... just a little "enhancement" and they feel pretty... even let her use my good perfume... she looked and felt great! But when I got there I was hysterical as I watched these kids with the thick black eyeliner get out of their mother's cars...

9:01 am

go, uni!

9:03 am

That's the way Mom2. My 14 yr old has a real itch to wear make up so I let her try on to her heart's content at night at home, but she goes out with a fresh clean 14 year old face!

Haz1558

Hello Uniquity!

I guess this is Haz's way to say we have beaten this thing to death... probably right!

Sorry i will get of the soap box now it seems to be a bit flat

9:04 am

Uniquity

Eyeliner is awful and torturous. I looooooove to wear makeup though. Just too lazy to take it off most of the time, so I just don't put it on. But I am theoretically grown up and have paid my own bills for a few years now, so I am set.

9:04 am

Judi

Yeah. Sensitive skin is a curse. Under control now, but it only took me about 35 years.

9:04 am

OK.. new topic... what does everyone think of Susan Boyle's makeover??? Frankly I think she looks very nice and bit more modern... and if it makes her feel better I am all for it!

9:07 am

herinfernallady

Uni I am blonde and have no eyelashes that are visible . I cheat and get them tinted :D

9:07 am

Judi

Hah. Speaking of inappropriate wear. Saw some kids walking to school the other day (middle school, I believe), wearing pj bottms and fuzzy slippers. Uhg.

9:07 am

mom2han8

I have never heard of that herin...

9:07 am

mom2han8

Maybe it was pajama day Judi... they do have those.

9:08 am

robbie09

i like the makeover on Susan. it still looks like her personality mom

9:09 am

Haz1558

I thought Susan Boyle looked better after a bit of a tidy-up. It hasn't been drastic and she's to be judged for her singing voice. That hasn't changed.

9:09 am

mom2han8

yeah I agree... I hear yesterday that Simon Cowell was disappointed that she did it... I was like, really Simon shut up!

9:09 am

mom2han8

That's a great way to put it Haz...

9:10 am

Haz1558

The thing is that we have had the surprise. You can't recreate that so she must be judged on her talent alone.

9:10 am

mom2han8

Honestly I really like her voice and don't care what kind of package it is coming out of, LOL!

9:10 am

Haz1558

And while I acknowledge that she has a lovely voice, believe me, she does have a great deal of competition.

9:10 am

mom2han8

I'll hazard a guess that she never really had the money for the tidying up before.

9:11 am

mom2han8

Oh, yes they have been showing some of her competition here... either way I think she will be ok win or lose.

9:11 am

herinfernallady

Mom i believe the FDA said it was bad so you can't do it. I use a salon and natural place. I have a wedding to go to. I think Susan Boyle looks lovely now. Just a bit more cleaned up nothing dramatic. I don't think it is her style

9:11 am

Haz1558

She's had it done locally, papers estimate that it hasn't been particularly expensive.

9:12 am

mom2han8

My eyelashes are naturally black so I wouldn't need it, but I just had never heard of it before...

9:13 am

mom2han8

I really am too busy babbling and facebooking to concentrate too much on Susan Boyle, LOL! But I do think she looks a little more confident, from what I saw of it.

9:13 am

herinfernallady

I don't think Ms Boyle would be the type of woman that would change much. She just appeared very village like and church going good person

9:13 am

cherlyq63

hi all, I thought simon was just disappointed she got caught up in the hoopla not neccessarily because she got the make over

9:13 am

robbie09

I think she looks great, and this is a competition. i don't think it's overdone at all

9:13 am

mom2han8

perhaps cherly... he does often get a bad rap... he is probably not a bad guy.

9:14 am

mom2han8

they should change American Idol to the same format as Britain's got Talent, as I am soooo sick of the format.

9:14 am

mom2han8

We see a few people a week and have one final showdown.. perfect!

I think the problem is that there is so much time between the first auditions and the next round which hasn't happened yet. The whole youtube thing was probably completely unexpected.

that was a toughie that word

10:37 am

kje

yw

10:37 am

cherlyq63

hi nrkii

10:37 am

nrkii

were you serious or joking about saying your advice is to go ahead and break my dad out of the rehab place?

10:37 am

nrkii

hi cherly

10:37 am

kje

add an h to the end, and it is when jewish people return to israel to live - making al5h

10:37 am

nrkii

the reason I'm asking is because you're not the first person to say that

10:38 am

nrkii

not even the first person of the medical profession to say that

10:38 am

cherlyq63

oh i was giving wrong al 5 then sorry

10:38 am

kje

oh... I would need more info... and I had lost track (sorry) I thought he was still in the hospital at which point i would say - get him out!

10:38 am

nrkii

ah, okay

10:38 am

nrkii

yeah, I would never hold you to the advice, by the way

10:39 am

nrkii

but I am sorely tempted to plan his imminent escape

10:39 am

kje

i will say, I do not believe in swallow tests in these situations... do a bedside swallow eval and if he can eat, get the tube out... no data to suggest feeding tubes are helpful in 99% of situations

10:40 am

kje

why does he still need rehab, and why do you want him out now?

10:40 am

nrkii

they disconnected his feeding tube the other day, and have done a lot of swallow observation, but not doing the offiical BEST till tomorrow

10:40 am

nrkii

he's still a little weak, but I think strong enough to get around at home, and they haven't determined if he can swallow thin liquids yet

10:41 am

kje

but.... you do not need the offical best... you just let him eat!!! that is what the data says... it is very difficult for people to pass that fluoroscopic swallow eval, yet they do fine if just allwoed to eat

10:41 am

kje

and btw, feeding tubes do NOT prevent aspiration if thyat is why they are doing the swallow eval, they actually make it more likely a patient will aspirate

10:41 am

oodleberry

ok bbl

10:41 am

nrkii

they're letting him eat, but he's only just moved from honey-thick to nectar-thick... they're being VERY cautious, and it's getting annoying

10:42 am

nrkii

I kind of feel like they're just keeping him there longer than necessary

10:42 am

nrkii

no tubes anymore, thank goodness... he's off oxygen, and even had the trach removed

10:42 am

suefrad625

ai5?

10:42 am

well, you could ask for a LOA this weekend and see how he does at home

12:48 pm

Atalante

how lovely, cait! theres only one problem with Reculver, and that's the beaches are cold in the morning cos the sun has to rise over the cliffs. Did you get to play in the towers?

12:49 pm

Atalante

Did the Towers have their steeple when you were there?

12:49 pm

Don't knock them dead, ChrissieDee! The police always want to ask such awkward questions after you do that!

1:15 pm

ChrissieDee

thanks katie.... breathing deeply now

1:15 pm

just hope there's not many I can't answer, can't say don't know to more than a couple

1:20 pm

KatieMcG

Exactly ata, if you don't know the answer because it is outside your field then say where you would get the answer i.e. retail specialist etc however if it is something you have just 'lost' then be honest. At the end the chair will give you a chance to add stuff, so if it comes back to you then you can answer it then

1:21 pm

o-o

I just say, "Why do we have resources if you expect me to know all this by rote?"

1:21 pm

Atalante

no ... but don't get flustered if you simply don't know. everyone doesn#t know something. if you can, explain how you would get the answer

1:21 pm

KatieMcG

I didn't know the answer to the first question asked on my CA, nearly passed out but don't get phased by it, treat every question like the first

1:23 pm

Atalante

actually the best advice I was ever given is to try and enjoy such things (after the initial panic). It's your chance to show them how brilliant you are. Don't let them pressure you. *You* are the important person there

9:10 pm

redturtlehead

well, lbd the flu shot this year was definitely not for that strain.

9:11 pm

Scrabbler

H1N1 strain is new--not seen previously

9:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

pardon me but i have taken zantax 150 this morning and cannot remember if i jsutt another dose an hour ago but am in distress. can i take another?

9:12 pm

Zantac for heart burn?

9:12 pm

oodleberry

stupid idiotic language

9:12 pm

Scrabbler

Not Xanax, I hope

9:12 pm

Pinikula

gee, welcome to babble, oodle...

9:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

scrabs i think it;s an ulcer actually but not confirmed, dr ordered i monbth of zantac. sotmach burning

9:13 pm

lbdawger

but wouldn't having had the shot help fight off or lower the resistence? (or is that raise the resistance?)

9:13 pm

oodleberry

ty pini... uh I think

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

srry i month zantac stomach burning

9:13 pm

Scrabbler

If you really took a dose 1 hr ago you would be getting relief of acid/heart burn now

9:13 pm

Pinikula

well, oodle, I gather you were talking about words in the grid today?

9:13 pm

redturtlehead

lbd, the flu shot only provides immunity to the flu it innoculates on. it doesnt protect or help at all for other strains.

9:13 pm

Scrabbler

So I personally would take 150 mg now

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

Flu shot changes every yr--3 strains only

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok ty scrabs, i could just go to bed but likely will wake up sick when it's this bad. i try not to be a baby

Hello. No time for niceties; my heart is broken. When do you stop being a Mother? My son played his last lacrosse game today. He gave his all to the team and the sport. Last year he played with broken ribs and almost lost his life to pain killers. He's not only a great team member; he's a really good player. Final game today and the coach barely played him. I watched while he stood ready and didn't go in. It broke my heart. They weren't going to win. The score was too lopsided. He could have made a difference. The coach could have made a lasting memory for a young man who gave his all. And was damn good.
