I think it's pretty rough, but I'm not listing just yet.

HI dinok i just started

3:03 am

3:04 am

dinok

hi BR

3:05 am

hello, dino-son

3:52 am

fuquayvarina

anybody up yet?

4:03 am

herinfernallady

yes sort of

4:04 am

fuquayvarina

yeah, that goes for me too

4:04 am

fuquayvarina

though it's, what, late afternoon for you herin?

4:06 am

herinfernallady

its 700pm here

4:07 am

fuquayvarina

not too far off, then. anyway, the opposite end of the day from East Coast USA. how was your day?

4:08 am

herinfernallady

busy doing study

4:08 am

fuquayvarina

how's school then? You're in a new term now?

4:09 am

herinfernallady

No just finishing off 2 more weeks YAHHHHHHhh

4:09 am

fuquayvarina

oh, i see! looking forward to a break, perhaps?

4:10 am

fuquayvarina

what happened to that conference you were supposed to put on? Did it come off ok in the end?

4:11 am

herinfernallady

it was all great

4:11 am

herinfernallady

It was great thank you for asking. It worked out well on the day.

4:11 am

fuquayvarina

that's excellent! it sounded massively frustrating along the way, between your team problems and the administration issues

4:12 am

herinfernallady

IFrustrating is the tafe has adjusted their website into a more usuable one (note one that is peeing me off)

4:15 am

fuquayvarina

didn't quite follow that, but send sympathy for frustration

4:16 am

herinfernallady

The school has updated their computers and its not working

4:17 am

fuquayvarina

oh. so often what is supposed to be progress turns out otherwise, doesn't it? our agency is working on an update to our website, and I have my fingers crosse that they won't just ruin it.

4:19 am

herinfernallady

yes the silly thing is its all new and flash but its missing the new logo

4:21 am

fuquayvarina

oh lord, don't get me started about logos. we're in the middle of a "rebranding" campaign, and suddenly we have to throw out all the old brochures, letterhead, envelopes, etc, so we can use the ones with the new logo. so wasteful! then they are thinking of moving to a different office in a few months, so they will throw it all away again because it has the wrong address!

4:22 am

herinfernallady

t is wasteful.

4:22 am

herinfernallady

it frustrats me that we got told off about the wrong logo when the old one surficed

4:22 am

fuquayvarina

right in the middle of a time when our budget keeps being cut and every dime matters (we are a nonprofit)

4:23 am

herinfernallady

that is silly

4:23 am

fuquayvarina

so they hassled you about using the old one, but still had it on their flashy new website? that's rich

4:25 am

herinfernallady

yes. We had to have everything done in their colours for the confernce and their logo which is a giant pain in the butt as it is like um i think i will use butt as an example. BuTt its got these long and short bits and it buggers up the typind

4:27 am

fuquayvarina

totally understand. we had nightmares getting exactly the right new colors on the publication that I was recently working on, and getting the logo to work right can be a pain too

4:27 am

herinfernallady

if you may move who cares right this moment

4:28 am

fuquayvarina

you would think..... but it was like a matter of life and death that everything look "consistent" -- I'm getting really sick of that word lately

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Someone said to me there is no I in team to which i said there is me ta

4:32 am

herinfernallady

i must be off again enjoy

4:33 am

fuquayvarina

take care. nice chatting with you

4:57 am

dinok

You would be very welcome. I have some testimonials on www.spaisha.com so you can see wot my clients think [of course I only put nice comments on ;)]

4:57 am

Haz1558

Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.

congrats, maz!

7:57 am

Uniquity

JBV, Babble rankings have always been a little wonky and sort of don't make sense. Like the fact that if you start a grid but don't finish, you lose more points than if you just don't start. Best to ignore them altogether :)

good for you, maz!!

I understand, JBV! I used to try to race Mum, but she didn't care so I gave up :) I know every once in a while there is a glitch in the ranking system and things don't all work out right.

8:00 am

lynxxx

Congrats Lori too! bye

8:00 am

Anniebrook

YAY for Lori!!!! You have a great day too

8:00 am

JBV

well it won't stop me from babbling! i'm here for the long haul

8:01 am

Uniquity

I took a big break for about 8 months which slaughtered my rankings. I think I gave up on them around then.

8:03 am

JBV

I know you're all word lovers - I have a question for you - in your own personal experience, what would you say is the relationship between word knowledge and reading comprehension? (I'm leaving it open-ended, without giving my own point of view first)

8:03 am

JBV

or is that too big a question for Saturday morning?

8:03 am

EspritdJean

a big correlation

8:03 am

o-o

I agree with Jean

8:03 am

suefrad625

he6?

8:03 am

EspritdJean

don't know how you can comprehend if you don't have word knowledge

8:04 am

EspritdJean

Free Opinion - worth exactly what you paid for it

8:05 am

o-o

he 6 -- is what the Allies called a German during WW II

8:05 am

Uniquity

I feel that reading anything strengthens word knowledge, but not always as obviously as one might think. I read many things as a child way beyond my 'age appropriate level.' Didn't always understand what I was reading, but it built up my vocabulary as I learned to recognize and place the words. There are still many words I can't define but can use in a sentence properly!

8:05 am

o-o

or a short haircut

8:05 am

lynxxx

TY BabRab, got the sausage we were talking about yesterday but missed that one

8:06 am

o-o

Yeah, lyn

8:06 am

EspritdJean

also slang for your behind

8:06 am

JBV

Uni, that's my response exactly. My question comes out of a concern about a way of teaching vocabulary which is dominating the literacy scene these days, which is called "front loading" (ugh, hate that word) which teaches all the supposedly necessary words up front.....

8:06 am

o-o

but not yours?

8:07 am

EspritdJean

lol I guess mine too

8:07 am

JBV

but I, like Uni, also learn a lot of new words just by reading and plowing through and through repeated exposure

8:07 am

jmcnrick

you can "know" a lot of words without it heling your reading imho

8:07 am

EspritdJean

why do you ask JBV?

8:07 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:07 am

jmcnrick

helping

8:08 am

Uniquity

Hmm, I haven't heard talk about this "front loading." While I can see a place for laying a foundation of word knowledge, I found that I learned so much through experience and application (ie - reading how an author uses a word or phrase).

8:08 am

JBV

I also read a lot beyond what they would call my "independent reading level" and I learn a lot of new words every day

8:08 am

Uniquity

Babble is a great example - clues for babblets (like Indian Nurse) mean nothing to me...but when I find that word, I will know it. I know it is a word, but that doesn't help me necessarily.

8:09 am

Uniquity

Agreed, JMC.

8:10 am

jmcnrick

I always read "above" my grade level (whatever that means) but it resulted in me having two vocabularies --one reading and one oral to many funny results

8:10 am

o-o

I cannot think of a single situation where knowing the meaning of words would make for less comprehension.

8:11 am

JBV

that's true, BR, words are necessary but not sufficient, is what i'm saying

8:11 am

JBV

that's receptive and productive lexicon JMC, in the jargon we throw around

8:11 am

Uniquity

My reading choices as a child have constructed my dialect, absolutely. Knowing the meaning of words may not hurt, but it doesn't necessary help. Combinations of education usually work best.

8:12 am

jmcnrick

good to know jbv

8:12 am

o-o

many times while reading the context will help supply the meaning of an unfamiliar word.

8:13 am

suefrad625

well, the cleaning must start, no matter what.

8:13 am

suefrad625

love you all and will finish my 8 later

8:13 am

o-o

but to use words out of context without knowing their meaning is bound to lead to some interesting conversations

8:13 am

o-o

be well, sue

8:13 am

suefrad625

and if anyone is near Concord, NC in about 2 weeks, I have lots of tomatoes

8:13 am

JBV

the other thing is that vocabulary lists (the front loading kind) usually do not have phrases or take into consideration the multiple meanings of words, like table (table a motion, periodic table, etc.)

8:14 am

suefrad625

you are also forgetting about regions words jbv

8:14 am

jmcnrick

when I was in colleg I told my boy friend I was aDAMant about something and he thought I was being clever. I knew the word adamant and I knew the word aDAMant and understood they had similar if not identical meanings but had never made the connections -- lol -- but then spelling has never been my forte

8:14 am

JBV

that too, sue

8:15 am

suefrad625

take the tw4, i find it offensive, but some think it is a nice word between friends

8:15 am

jmcnrick

where in NC is Concord sue it is only a few hours drive

8:15 am

suefrad625

just outside

8:15 am

suefrad625

just outside of charlotte

8:15 am

jmcnrick

for regionalism I always point out coke, soda and pop

8:16 am

EspritdJean

everyone KNOWS it's soda

8:16 am

jmcnrick

hmmm how badly do I want fresh tomatoes lol!

8:16 am

o-o

well, another example is pants .. the brits told me to be careful using it

8:16 am

jmcnrick

I grew up with it being coke

8:16 am

o-o

tonic in Mass?

8:16 am

jmcnrick

koda pants

8:17 am

jmcnrick

really I never heard it called tonic in Mass

8:17 am

jmcnrick

??

8:17 am

EspritdJean

I've heard tonic

8:17 am

EspritdJean

8:17 am

o-o

It looks like I have a new job--I get to escape Boss Richard Head. I will finalize contract issues soon.

9:35 am

Scrabbler

So, does recycling really work?

9:35 am

torgone

Oh good for you! Too many of those Richards out there ..

9:36 am

Scrabbler

I am still in the disbelief stage--I have been waiting for a chance for so long.

9:36 am

torgone

It absolutely does ..

9:37 am

Scrabbler

I am meticulous about recycling, to the point of annoying others, but it is so important to the planet.

9:37 am

torgone

Most recyclable materials save a lot of energy over raw materials

9:38 am

torgone

Aluminum is the most efficient .. Uses about 90% less energy (carbon)

10:48 am

Anniebrook

dorens, How lovely...congratulations!

10:49 am

Dorens

thanks... actually it was jaime who discovered babble, and sent it along to me knowing I'd love it. I don't think anyone realized it would be so addictive though

10:49 am

Rushie

Phantom of winter =\

10:49 am

Anniebrook

Same here, my son in law introduced me to babble.

10:50 am

Dorens

and does he still play annie?

10:50 am

Anniebrook

dorens, rarely but he sure got me hooked. does jaime still play? or any of your children?

10:52 am

Dorens

no, jaime learned of it from her students, but is fonder of crossword puzzles (which they mentioned during their wedding vows, cute) david was playing a while, but didnt' really have time... college fulltime and working too. rachel played a bit, but not really her cup of tea

10:52 am

Anniebrook

I must leave and with 2 left to finish...bye

rururocks

3:32 pm

mo

3:32 pm

3:32 pm

rururocks

no.. this is his brother

3:33 pm

rururocks

my boy is prettier

3:33 pm

3:37 pm

PAV3

3:38 pm

mo

I just cannot understand how people cannot love animals.

pam

and why is babbler upset, babbler?

9:12 pm

welki

hello again folks ... i must be on the way to becoming acclimated to this site; when i finagle an unknown, i am no longer surprised when they are valid words *lol*

9:12 pm

Scrabbler

I will tell Dr Richard Head on Monday, somehow, at some time, as his potential response is scaring me.

9:12 pm

pam

I guess I need to go read chog archives? Which I hate doing....

9:12 pm

pam

Hi, weki

9:12 pm

rururocks

Dr. Richard head would scare me...lol

9:13 pm

Trifioso

Maybe you should just write a letter and submit it, scrabbler?

9:13 pm

Scrabbler

Hi welki

9:13 pm

rururocks

I have known a lot of Rick Heads in my day, but none of them doctors

9:13 pm

welki

he must be associated with the great urologist, Dr. I.P. Daly

9:13 pm

pam

(I find it funny that anyone who babbles regularly would call docs arrogant as a blanket statement. I mean, scrabs and red offer some pretty incredible advice....)....

9:13 pm

Uneaixoise

Monday? We'll be sending massive positive vibes your way, scrabs!

9:13 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, the choices--tell partners first then him? tell all of them together? How to respond?

9:14 pm

pam

Yes, we will, une!

9:14 pm

rururocks

put a condom over his head and tell him to breathe

9:14 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!

9:14 pm

Trifioso

hmmm. Whom do you have the best relationship with? Is there someone at work whom you feel would be happy for you, and encouraging? I would start there

9:14 pm

kje

are you quitting scrab???

9:14 pm

pam

and scrabs and kje offer great advice, too!

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

He will go on the attack. He will say, "what are supposed to do without you?'

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, ruru!

9:15 pm

rururocks

now that you know you can Head him off at the pass..

9:15 pm

kje

yayayayayay - you are leaving head!!!!

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, kje, I got an offer last night, from a nearby practice.

9:15 pm

Trifioso

Is it worth it to be honest about why you are leaving? Put it in a contructive way, so that the other partners can know what the issues are? Going forward, he is likely to alienate any new hire they bring on, and they should be forewarned

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

I am escaping!!

9:16 pm

rururocks

yeah scrabs...

9:16 pm

kje

I am sooooooo happy for you - I could never believe you had to put up with the crap you did from him

9:16 pm

Trifioso

my mom had the same issue with one of her partners, and it got so she couldn't get ANY one to stay, bec the other guy was such an a-hole

9:16 pm

kje

no - just resign and leave - medicine is a small world, do not burn bridges

9:16 pm

welki

you don't need to go into details at first notice of resignation; your exit interview will give you the opportunity to expand on your reasons

9:17 pm

Scrabbler

All I have to say is: I accepted an offer from _____ peds group, and I resign effective ______ (120 day notice.)

9:17 pm

rururocks

120 days of misery

9:17 pm

Trifioso

120 days notice? wow, that is tons!

9:17 pm

rururocks

how come that much notice

9:17 pm

welki

(unless the partners agree to let her leave early, if the new position allows)

9:18 pm

Scrabbler

I do not want to hurt the other 2 partners and the 4 nurse practitioners, as they will absorb the load.

9:18 pm

Shirlockc

last am5?

9:18 pm

Trifioso

I am not saying burn bridges; I am saying to let the other partners know that there are issues (in case they don't already)

9:18 pm

rururocks

oh...

9:18 pm

kje

plus, you have to notify patients and such - otherwise it is abandonment (

9:18 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, the partners could vote to let me go sooner, but they need me to work.

9:18 pm

rururocks

yep.. I get it

9:19 pm

Uneaixoise

am5 is like spanish word for friend

9:19 pm

Scrabbler

He will go nuts over the idea of families following me

9:20 pm

kje

do you not have a noncompete clause?

9:20 pm

rururocks

well if he is a Dick Head.. wouldn't nuts go with the package?

9:20 pm

Scrabbler

I am going to stick to a simple story: I want to work closer to home. I wish you peace.

9:20 pm

pam

trif--they all know why scrabs is leaving, they have all experienced the issues. No need to salt the wound....

9:21 pm

featherbee

yep, sounds like a good exit line scrabs. i'm sure the others will have a good idea of why you really left.

9:21 pm

rururocks

they would have to know

9:21 pm

Trifioso

Okay. I didn't know all the details.

9:22 pm

Scrabbler

I have to re-read the contract re non-compete clause, but I will be 35 miles away AND parents could choose another doc in my new group and I could still see the kids

9:22 pm

rururocks

you want me to call my friend lucca brazi and have his knees whacked scrabs?

9:22 pm

Scrabbler

We are all experiencing his abuse, it is not just me, but I stand up to him thus more friction between me and him

9:22 pm

featherbee

lol ru!

9:22 pm

9:23 pm

featherbee

9:23 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, ruru.

9:23 pm

Trifioso

I am just so glad you are out of there! What a relief it will be for you to be able to focus on treating the children, without all the stress of Richard hanging over

9:24 pm

9:26 pm

rururocks

he 6 is an ass

9:26 pm

Scrabbler

Trif, the stress is terrible. We all fear his response to everything. He is a micromanager, a nitpicker, so critical, truly arrogant, and a narcissist. Now for his negative qualities...

9:26 pm

kje

the potential for comments - didn't get it at first

9:26 pm

rururocks

9:27 pm

Minveryork

That he 6/21 word is just like the me 6/21 word pam.

9:27 pm

Scrabbler

I am still in shock, Trif, as this doesn't seem real...not until I both resign and sign a new contract.

9:27 pm

Minveryork

There is a great book, by Stanford management prof Bob Sutton, called "The No A**hole Rule." His advice is #1 leave, if you can, and #2 be emotionally detached if you must stay.

9:29 pm

9:30 pm

rururocks

# 4 walk up behind him and smack him on the head and say "how is old DIck Head today?"

9:30 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, ruru.

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

I had a boss like that for 8 years Scrabbler, and when I finally quit he fell all over himself trying to get me to stay because he knew he had overstepped a lot of boundaries. Here's hoping Dr. Head will do the same out of shame

9:30 pm

featherbee

LOL ru!

9:30 pm

Trifioso

I am not sure men like that can feel shame, bugs.

Exhausting work, eh?

9:52 pm

Scrabbler

It is great motivation to keep doing well in college.

9:52 pm

Trifioso

KAD!!!!!!! so excited to see you!

9:52 pm

joey

PAM , i heard that there is champagne in the PB, just for you!

9:52 pm

pam

LOL, joey

9:52 pm

Trifioso

Guess what I did tonight kad?

9:52 pm

kadresa

How is everyone? What did you do?

9:52 pm

Scrabbler

Where did our comedian, Ruru, go?

9:53 pm

Trifioso

oh, such personal growth! Dropped Primo and Secondo off at Mr. Hate's house. Haven't ever done that before. Did pretty okay til I was in the driveway, and saw my ex-car there. Then I basically drove off bawling. But, hey - at least I did it. Band aid torn off

9:54 pm

Scrabbler

You did it, Trif, good for you.

9:54 pm

kadresa

Okay...you have a better car now...and eventually, you will have a better life. Do you want me to call?

9:54 pm

pam

good for you, tri

9:55 pm

Scrabbler

ne5 anyone?

9:55 pm

Trifioso

no, I am okay. came home and mowed. Nice and physical, got my ya yas out.

9:55 pm

featherbee

not an oldie scrabs

9:56 pm

Scrabbler

Let it all go, Trif. You are heading, in baby steps, to a better place. When the grief is over you look back and be so proud.

9:56 pm

Trifioso

of course he had to come trotting out in his bathing suit....I KNOW the new house has a pool already. GET OVER IT

9:56 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Feather.

9:56 pm

Trifioso

Thanks all. I am growing, every day

9:56 pm

Scrabbler

yep, but he has to take care of it and pay for it (the pool)

9:56 pm

kje

your turn weed

9:57 pm

kadresa

He probably has no other clean clothes. Probably thought he could "wow" you. Who knows???

9:57 pm

Trifioso

whatever. I am trying really hard not to care

9:57 pm

featherbee

already looking at it kje!

9:58 pm

kadresa

Are you all set for tomorrow? Anything I can do?

9:58 pm

Trifioso

Secondo is really looking forward to confirmation tomorrow. It's so cute!

9:58 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, Trif, he can think whatever he wants

9:58 pm

Trifioso

No, no, all is well. Since I don't have the kids tomorrow there is nothing TO do. Just the reception after church.

9:58 pm

Pinikula

my GD's first communion is tomorrow, too, Trif...sounds like a great sunday ;)

9:58 pm

Scrabbler

It is an important step, Trif.

9:59 pm

kadresa

What are you doing after the ceremony?

9:59 pm

Trifioso

Got good news from the school this week - Secondo qualified for a scholarship for the 8th grade trip to DC, so she can go, even tho Mr. Hate won't pay for it.

9:59 pm

pam

Good luck tomorrow--in case i forget to say....

9:59 pm

Trifioso

probably hanging out with D&P, or Joe, if he shows

9:59 pm

Trifioso

thanks pam

9:59 pm

Scrabbler

He won't pay for it!! But he bought a new house with a pool?

10:00 pm

kadresa

Is he doing anything with the kids after church?

10:00 pm

Trifioso

Yup. And the entire cost of the trip? $600. He spent more than that at Ikea for furniture.

10:00 pm

Trifioso

I don't know. Tori'

10:01 pm

pam

He sounds spiteful... why would he make the kids suffer.... he needs to realize that children aren't pawns... ok, you all know this, off my soapbox

10:01 pm

Trifioso

has her dance recital tomorrow at 2, so I will prob go to that, and I imagine he might go too. Since he is SO supportive of his kids and their interests

10:01 pm

kadresa

He blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:02 pm

Trifioso

I can't remember - do we have to stand up in front of the church with Secondo tomorrow? That is making my anxious - having to stand up in front of everyone as her parents, when we aren't together.

10:02 pm

Scrabbler

The kids will soon realize who their father really is.

10:02 pm

Scrabbler

Be strong, Trif. You are the mother, you gave your kids life, you are teaching them so much!

10:03 pm

kadresa

We did with S. Remember? I think I asked you all to stand up. We could all stand up or you could ask Cyndi to do it with F.

10:03 pm

Trifioso

If they ask her parents to stand with her, I will do it. We are still her parents, after all, and this is for her. She comes first

10:04 pm

kadresa

You are absolutely right. Do you want us to stand with you?

10:05 pm

Trifioso

not sure. She is at that age where she just wants to be invisible. ANY thing out of the ordinary sets her off.

10:05 pm

Trifioso

You are her godmother, though, so it would be cool if you, betsy, leann, etc. were there and stood up too.

10:05 pm

pam

how old for confirmation? (I am Jewish, so asking as a point of reference)

10:06 pm

Scrabbler

Guess who is on my front deck?

10:06 pm

rururocks

sounds like there will be a lot of seats available if everyone is standing up.

10:06 pm

Trifioso

7th grade, pam.

10:06 pm

pam

thanks, tri

10:06 pm

Trifioso

They have to be old enough to make their own decision about whether or not to join

10:06 pm

Trifioso

omg, scrabbler, is it richard????

10:06 pm

pam

definitely the invisible age....

10:06 pm

rururocks

Richard Head?

10:06 pm

pam

that makes sense, tri. thanks

10:06 pm

pam

LOL, ru

10:06 pm

pam

who, scrabs?

10:06 pm

kadresa

Your choice Trif...whatever F wants...maybe you could ask her before the ceremony and see what she says. I'll do whatever makes you happy!

10:07 pm

Trifioso

thanks, kad. how are things at yours?

10:08 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, not Richard, but 2 fat raccoons! I heard some noise so went to look out the window. One was trying to climb up the post that holds up the roof, and to get to the bird feeders

10:08 pm

Trifioso

oh, wow, scrabbler! are they cute?

10:09 pm

Scrabbler

They are cute. Usually there is one, a regular visitor, but a smaller one is along tonight.

10:09 pm

kadresa

Just okay. I washed all of the hardwood floors today, vacuumed the curtains, washed the walls downstairs, and ironed all of the linens. I also finished D's photo collage. I'm exhausted so I might just go to bed.

10:09 pm

Trifioso

ooh, raccoons on a date!

10:09 pm

Trifioso

geez louise, kad!

10:09 pm

Scrabbler

Wow, kad, you are allowed to go to bed now!

10:10 pm

kadresa

I still have to do the upstairs and straighten up the basement, but I'll do that tomorrow.

10:10 pm

Trifioso

scrabbler, you have no idea! Kad is AMAZING - for her that is like, a slow day

10:10 pm

Trifioso

how is esme taking to waitressing?

10:10 pm

Scrabbler

My sister & cousin came here for the day and we hiked---"geocaching" in the park.

10:10 pm

kadresa

No...really Trif...I had lots of "angry" energy today.

10:11 pm

Scrabbler

Can I hire you, kad?

10:11 pm

Trifioso

what is geocaching, exactly? is it hiking without a map, or something?

10:11 pm

Pinikula

kad, you can be mad at my house anytime! :)

10:11 pm

kadresa

K just got home a bit ago. I don't think she "loves" this line of work, but let's face it, she's a college student and needs the money.

10:11 pm

Pinikula

I geocache too :)

10:12 pm

Scrabbler

Hiking to find a cache, using a GPS

10:12 pm

kadresa

I wasn't mad at the house pini, just had angry energy.

10:12 pm

Trifioso

what is a cache?

10:12 pm

Pinikula

however it works, kad :)

10:12 pm

Scrabbler

isn't it fun, Pini?!

10:12 pm

featherbee

any trouble finding it scrabs?

10:12 pm

kadresa

It's were Jack Sparrow hid the rum Trif

10:12 pm

Pinikula

great fun

10:12 pm

Pinikula

a cache can be anything

10:12 pm

evanonut

rum?

10:12 pm

featherbee

go to www.geocaching.com to see

10:13 pm

Trifioso

lol kad!!! We all know he hides the rum from me!

10:13 pm

featherbee

usually just trinkets. daniel likes to go "treasure hunting" as we call it.

10:13 pm

Scrabbler

It is a container with stuff in it. The container is often an ammo box.

10:13 pm

Trifioso

does someone else hide stuff in the cache? how do you know where it is? do you go somewhere for clues?

10:13 pm

pam

NUTTY!!!!!!

10:14 pm

Trifioso

wasn't there a book a few years ago that gave clues to some field in England with a jeweled rabbit hidden in it?

10:14 pm

Scrabbler

Actually we couldn't locate either cache although we were in the right locations. It was very frustrating!

10:14 pm

Trifioso

Masquerade maybe?

10:14 pm

evanonut

PAMMY!!!

10:14 pm

Pinikula

trif, check out the link weed posted...explains everything (great activity for kids, too!)

10:14 pm

Trifioso

okay, thanks.

10:15 pm

Scrabbler

Someone hides a cache, then notes the coordinates, then registers it on www.geocaching.com. You should get involved in it with your kids, Trif.

10:15 pm

Pinikula

I found a cache on campus...near the psychology department...

10:15 pm

featherbee

were there a lot of trees there? that can interfere

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

10:26 pm

Scrabbler

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

17 dogs is horrifying

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

pini?

10:28 pm

Trifioso

Nurses seem to be in huge demand in my area, but I don't want to deal with *any* of the fluids in a hospital, so that's a no go.
