5:16 am
herinfernallady

5:17 am
herinfernallady
They didn't pick mine but a half finished job then stole all my insides

herinfernallady
So I thought they had used mine then they said no we picked ? and I cracked it burst into tears swore and left the class

6:19 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, we do too. A middle school kid here but with no trip to Mexico and no contacts with H1N1, thus confirming that it is spreading.
6:20 am
bichon
I doubt you'd hear about it in Australia, but here it was awful. It had anti-semitic overtones and a lot of the Jewish students went home til the suspect was in custody
6:20 am

6:25 am
Scrabbler
Haha, alcohol to the rescue.
6:25 am

suefrad625
this was a hard grid
6:41 pm
metaleather
congratulations GLC
6:42 pm
metaleather
I'll bear that in mind aknitter... but won't it make it hard to construct afghans and/or pillows?
6:43 pm
aknitter
pillows would be fine just knit a tube and close both ends! blankets would be another story. what do you like to make?
6:44 pm
metaleather
I haven't settled on favorite knitted items yet... haven't done enough knitting. I love to make cables though.
6:45 pm
metaleather
In crochet, I like to make blankets, doilies, etc.
6:45 pm
aknitter
oh me too, cables are so much fun
6:45 pm
metaleather
Knitted socks intrigue me but I'm much too intimidated by them to attempt any
6:46 pm
aknitter
sox can be knit by a method called the magic loop - 1 long needle and in the round. they are fun to make. i only wear hand knit sox once you put a pair on store boughts will never be comfy
6:47 pm
metaleather
I'll look up the magic loop method online later this evening.
6:48 pm
aknitter
metal do you like metal and leather or work with theM?
6:49 pm
metaleather
On a side note... are you an "English" or "Continental" knitter.... and "Eastern" or "Western", "Crossed" or "Uncrossed"?
6:49 pm
o-o
I only wear holy socks, cause the longer I wear them, the holier they get
6:50 pm
metaleather
mostly the former rather than the latter
6:50 pm
metaleather
me too BR, lol
6:50 pm
aknitter
i do not knit continental althouhg i can. i prefer throwing the yarn
6:50 pm
aknitter
can't seem to spell though
6:51 pm
metaleather
I find I work faster and more neatly doing Continental... Purling is awkward for me no matter what method I use though, lol@self
6:51 pm
aknitter
there is a method called thumbing the purl - look that up and give it a try. it should help
6:52 pm
aknitter
you could always thumb your nose at BR
6:52 pm
metaleather
I'll try that, thanks
6:52 pm
metaleather
oooooooh, bad timing
6:52 pm
aknitter
which the nose or the purl
6:52 pm
aknitter
tee hee hee
6:53 pm
o-o
hope you are feeling better, aknitter
6:53 pm
aknitter
thought that would get your attention BR. ty, nice to see you
6:53 pm
o-o
if the worse thing that happens to me today is some thumbing, it has been an extremely good day
6:54 pm
aknitter
bad day?

7:36 pm
pam
I was REALLY bored by Kris!
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
vrhis is totally boring every week
7:37 pm
pam
No, TO. Hursh had a question about last night's episode and I had it taped so I could answer it.
7:37 pm
hurshy
adam, i felt, well, it was so different from the original that i suppose i could see how some people might like this, as like, a separate thing from the original. i don't happen to be one of them, but clearly the judges felt differently.
7:38 pm
pam
I agree, TO. Don't understand Kris's appeal.
7:38 pm
hurshy
cause what i like about that song is how understated it is, and i'm not really on board with this other version.
7:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
i like adam. i like u2. i cannot say i liked the arrangement or vocal
7:39 pm
pam
I LOVE this song. But not sure about the arrangement....
7:39 pm
hurshy
yeah, i agree TO. it is always good to find that people feel the same about things.
7:39 pm
pam
I like the understatement in the original, but always want Bono to BELT it out. I mean, why the HELL is AIDS still an epidemic?
7:40 pm
pam
I thought he knocked the ending out of the ballpark. I am now going to hear the judges....
7:40 pm
pam
I agree with Randy that he went off the melody in a way I am not so sure about....
7:41 pm
hurshy
that was driving me crazy not being able to remember what cuddy said and thus see what she actually meant by it, thanks so much for filling me in!!!
7:41 pm
hurshy
i am jumping too much around in my thoughts, lol.
7:41 pm
pam
Hursh, it was my pleasure. Was bothering me, too!
7:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
hursh forward it to me i was too confused
7:42 pm
redturtlehead
Good Evening. I have 30 left. On a normal day, I'd be happy to say that!
7:42 pm
pam
Cuddy told him that anyone who got close to him got hurt and that he is an excellent physician, so focus on the second thought. (Am paraphrasing)
7:42 pm
pam
LOL, red!!!!!
7:43 pm
metaleather
hi red
7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi red
7:44 pm

7:45 pm
metaleather
on House... or am I lost, as usual?
7:45 pm
hurshy
sealed the deal on his craziness, i suppose she means.
7:45 pm
pam
How do you mean Kutner sealed the deal? His suicide tipped him?
7:45 pm
pam
Thanks, hursh!
7:46 pm
hurshy
ooh, your explanation makes sense too though.
7:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
and the other dead girl
7:46 pm
metaleather
no.... seeing Kutner provided the last bit of weight needed to tip the scales so he'd realize/accept his craziness
7:46 pm
pam
I LOVE AMber as a ghost, LOL
7:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

Good for her, Scrabbler
9:57 pm

Still in talking phase with new group--I am optimistic as they continue to ask me questions. At my current practice we had a 4 hr "retreat" today, for the docs, and it clarified my decision to escape ASAP.
9:58 pm

Hope you too find your niche, Scrabbler
9:58 pm
Jacula
Hope you make a happy escape soon, Scrabbs, especially if you can put Mr. Richard Head into your past.
9:58 pm
Scrabbler
BR, the firm is led by a low-key, kind man that wants to provide good law services and he is not money-hungry or power/prestige focused.
9:58 pm

Indeed, Scrabbler, a rarity these days.
9:58 pm
Jacula
Niche, that's the word I was looking for, BR.

9:59 pm
Scrabbler
I am so ready to leave my current situation and to escape the abuse.
10:00 pm
Jacula
It's terrible to hear anyone of your age talk about abuse at work, Scrabbs. What is wrong with the world today? Why are people so pushy and aggressive?
10:01 pm
Scrabbler
He is an egotistic, narcissistic, critical, controlling nut case.

10:08 pm

Bob Sutton's advice, if you work for or with an a$$hole, is (1) leave, if you can, or (2) practice emotional detachment. #2 has helped a lot, but some recent direct attacks (I have saved the e-mails) prompted me to plan a departure.

Scrabbler
The other 2 docs and the 3 nurse practitioners all agree with me, and we support one another, but I am the only one with a spine, so I challenge him and stand up to him (justice and fairness is very important to me) thus I am the target of his wrath. I am the rebel/renegade of the office and the staff admires me for that.

Parents love him because he goes overboard to please them but often to the detriment of the child as meds are prescribed when not needed (requested by parents). I cannot watch that anymore.

Don't ever let that man make you cry all night again, Scrabbs. He probably already has his wife doing that. You don't need it, or him.
10:22 pm

I so worry that he will have a complete breakdown someday. His defense mechanisms are overused.

Anyway, speaking of breakdowns, which is what we all thought Other Half's ex was having when she did a runner, leaving her 14-year-old daughter all alone with about 23 ferrets, 3 horses, 2 or 3 hamsters, a mouse, a lizard, 4 cats and 2 dogs, but otherwise alone when she got home from school apart from the lnote she left...

I told her that, ruru, when we met the day before she did the runner, when she was basically telling me she no longer wanted her daughter and didn't care who brought her up, but thought she might give her to me and her Dad.
10:30 pm
Jacula
I begged her not to be so stupid.
10:31 pm

But, she got more stupid and made a bad situation even worse.

i have my nephew with me since his parents died. it was rough at first, getting to know each other, but it is getting better all the time. he is adjusting well
10:43 pm
Jacula
I can't even begin to imagine how she's feeling right now. My Mum's been ringing me or coming round to the house about 3 times a day since all this sh*t broke. And, although she's concerned about my stepdaughter, she's more concerned about ME. Which is how a Mum should be.

Jacula
At leatme and 'Step' have had 6 years to get to know each other, but I've always kept her at arm's length unless she was obviously upset about something) for fear of upsetting the real mother/daughter bond. Even in the face of her preferring my cooking and all sorts of other things. As a Mum who has an ex who has remarried, to a nice woman who wanted to make my kids welcome, I understand how any praise for the 'Other Woman' might feel.
10:49 pm
Jacula
python - God! That's unprecedented. How did your BIL die?
10:50 pm
pythonx
he had been sick for a few years but nothing life threatening. we believe he just gave up.
10:50 pm
Jacula
We've had the 'wicked stepmother' joke running for at leat 4 years'. Guess I wasn't wicked enough, because it seems she's overjoyed to be with me and her Dad.
10:51 pm
pythonx
i'm sure she is. her life probably hasn't been too stable
10:51 pm
pythonx
you will do fine, i'm sure
10:51 pm
Jacula
python - that can happen, I know, because I saw my Great Grandma do just that.
10:52 pm
Jacula
Python - no, not very stable at all, despite, excuse the pun, her mother being a horse fanatic.
10:55 pm

But it will all work out fine, I'm sure - 'Yea though I walk through the vallye of the shadow of death' and all that.

My 22 year old daughter, seeing that my stepdaughter is moving in now, has said that her option to come back home seems to have gone (not really, I could give up my office to make a room for her) and she hopes she can move in with my Mum if it should become necessary.

Re teenagers - they are clumsy and awkward because their bodies are changing and their brains haven't caught up yet. Their language hasn't caught up yet either, but their brain actually shrinks once they reach 20. However, it holds far more knowledge (and actually hangs onto it) - which is why after that, the older you get the harder it is to retrieve info from your brain. The little clerk in there has to run up and down lots of stairs to check in all the drawers of all the filing cabinets, which are many by the time you reach 50 and over, to retrive the information.

Jac, give your new "daughter" a hug from me
11:32 pm
Jacula
Got the poet wrong! I meant Robert Herrick: To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.

No, I was wrong again, it was Tennyson:he Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Ah,at last! I know the Alfred Noyes link re poems and my Dad, (He's been shouting it into my ear for about an hour now.) It's this:
The Highwayman
The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door.
He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, and a bunch of lace at his chin;
He'd a coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of fine doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to his thigh!
And he rode with a jeweled twinkle--
His rapier hilt a-twinkle--
His pistol butts a-twinkle, under the jeweled sky.
Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,
He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred,
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--
Bess, the landlord's daughter--
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
Dark in the dark old inn-yard a stable-wicket creaked
Where Tim, the ostler listened--his face was white and peaked--
His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,
But he loved the landlord's daughter--
The landlord's black-eyed daughter;
Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say:
"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart; I'm after a prize tonight,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light.
Yet if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way."
He stood upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach her hand,
But she loosened her hair in the casement! His face burnt like a brand
As the sweet black waves of perfume came tumbling o'er his breast,
Then he kissed its waves in the moonlight
(O sweet black waves in the moonlight!),
And he tugged at his reins in the moonlight, and galloped away to the west.
He did not come in the dawning; he did not come at noon.
And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise of the moon,
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon over the purple moor,
The redcoat troops came marching--
Marching--marching--
King George's men came marching, up to the old inn-door.
They said no word to the landlord; they drank his ale instead,
But they gagged his daughter and bound her to the foot of her narrow bed.
Two of them knelt at her casement, with muskets by their side;
There was Death at every window,
And Hell at one dark window,
For Bess could see, through her casement, the road that he would ride.
They had bound her up at attention, with many a sniggering jest!
They had tied a rifle beside her, with the barrel beneath her breast!
"Now keep good watch!" and they kissed her. She heard the dead man say,
"Look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though Hell should bar the way."
She twisted her hands behind her, but all the knots held good!
She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood!
They stretched and strained in the darkness, and the hours crawled by like years,
Till, on the stroke of midnight,
Cold on the stroke of midnight,
The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers!
The tip of one finger touched it, she strove no more for the rest;
Up, she stood up at attention, with the barrel beneath her breast.
She would not risk their hearing, she would not strive again,
For the road lay bare in the moonlight,
Blank and bare in the moonlight,
And the blood in her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her love's refrain.
Tlot tlot, tlot tlot! Had they heard it? The horse-hooves, ringing clear;
Tlot tlot, tlot tlot, in the distance! Were they deaf that they did not hear?
Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill,
The highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The redcoats looked to their priming! She stood up straight and still.
Tlot tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot tlot, in the echoing night!
Nearer he came and nearer! Her face was like a light!
Her eyes grew wide for a moment, she drew one last deep breath,
Then her finger moved in the moonlight--
Her musket shattered the moonlight--
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him--with her death.
He turned, he spurred to the West; he did not know who stood
Bowed, with her head o'er the casement, drenched in her own red blood!
Not till the dawn did he hear it, and his face grew grey to hear
How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there.
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high!
Blood-red were his spurs in the golden noon, wine-red was his velvet coat
When they shot him down in the highway,
Down like a dog in the highway,
And he lay in his blood in the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.
And still on a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a gypsy's ribbon looping the purple moor,
The highwayman comes riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.
Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard,
He taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred,
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--
Bess, the landlord's daughter--
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Daddy Fell into the Pond.
Everyone grumbled. The sky was grey.
We had nothing to do and nothing to say.
We were nearing the end of a dismal day,
And there seemed to be nothing beyond,
THEN
Daddy fell into the pond!
And everyone's face grew merry and bright,
And Timothy danced for sheer delight.
"Give me the camera, quick, oh quick!
He's crawling out of the duckweed."
Click!
Then the gardener suddenly slapped his knee,
And doubled up, shaking silently,
And the ducks all quacked as if they were daft
And is sounded as if the old drake laughed.
O, there wasn't a thing that didn't respond
WHEN
Daddy fell into the pond!
