5:21 am
Eva
I guess we're part of the same northeastern weather system...I have to say I prefer it to 90's and humid, but if feels oddly like fall, and the garden is stunted.
5:22 am
Eva
And I don't think it will be good to head back into winter not having had summer.....we'll all get beri beri or something.
5:23 am
LoriP

bullying... take screen shots and keep records of every incidence. anything that constitutes a physical threat is actionable. inform appropriate authorities. if it is school kids, any use of a school machine to do the bullying should bee reported to the school and could result in loss of computer privilege which will get back to the parents and might result in suspension
6:17 am
herinfernallady
May be back online in a couple of days
6:17 am
carleekat
except..school is out for the summer it happened yesterday...no physical threats
6:18 am
hurshy
stay off whatever website it happened on?
6:19 am
Trifioso
morning friends - suspending my nbt rule to ask carlee - what venue is the bully using? email, myspace, aim, FB?
6:19 am
carleekat
facebook.?????
6:20 am
carleekat
its on facebook....
6:20 am
hurshy
what is the bully doing?
6:20 am
Trifioso
you can have your child un-friend the bully, after taking all the steps bonkler recommended. def. print out every single exchange, then unfriend or block the messages
6:20 am
herinfernallady
report them Carlee you can report that person with a specific cut and past of it
6:21 am
hurshy
and privacy settings should be set so that only friends can see the profile, much less post on wall.
6:21 am
Trifioso
if the bully is using a school facebook network to access your child, then it IS a school issue, whether school is in session or not
6:21 am
carleekat
there the "gaggle of girls" that there is in every class... there are 2 girls that are "social outcasts"in the class for 2 diff reasons . ( My daughter NOT involved)
6:22 am
LoriP
Point total anyone?
6:22 am
Trifioso
so those two girls are being targeted, then?
6:22 am
carleekat
but the one girl cus is "neighbour kid" is on my friend list... so I am seeing the whole exchange courtesty of "new facebook"
6:22 am
MrsS
how old are the kids?
6:23 am
herinfernallady
you can set up a fake account in facebook to make sure that all privacy settings work. I have set mine up so you can only see my face and my name and wether you can add me as a friend
6:23 am
Trifioso
do you know the neighbor girls mom well enough to apprise her of this? she really and truly may not know it is happening.
6:23 am
carleekat
the kids are about 12 ish ( going into grade 8 ) and they are RIPPING these 2 girls apart...socially...
6:24 am
carleekat
I've cut and pasted and emailed the exchanges to mum....
6:24 am
herinfernallady
see you all in a couple of days
6:24 am

oh, good for you carlee! that is an excellent place to start. offer her all of our suggestions, and I would have no problem letting the school know, summer or not
6:24 am
carleekat
I was just wondering if anyone had some good advise that I can pass to mum if she should ask me...that all
6:24 am
hurshy
do you know the girls, or just this one
6:24 am
Trifioso
bye herin!
6:25 am
carleekat
oh..I know them both....I know them all...they all little bitches...
6:25 am
FMitch
Bye herin.
Sounds like you have done everything you can carlee.
6:25 am
herinfernallady
Carlee privacy settings on facebook and making sure she doesn't have passwords that are common
6:25 am
hurshy
is there maybe one in the group who seems nicer, less enthusiastic about the bullying?
6:26 am
MrsS
The best defense against bullying, in my experience, is to ignore it, which takes serious self esteem. If I were you I would encourage your daughter to be nice to this girl and to try to stand up for her when it's appropriate
6:26 am
LoriP
Though Facebook is stalking made easy, and adults and children alike are too free with access and info, bear in mind it's just oen avenue. Ending it on FB will not eliminate the mentality.
6:26 am
Trifioso
yes, but they are only bitches because they are testing waters, seeing where the boundaries are....they will kick and scream about getting found out, but really, they will learn a lesson here -- all of them -- about what is acceptable and what is not. The internet is new to them, and the perception of anonymity makes them feel more powerful and invisible than they are
6:26 am
MrsS
Clues for he 6/21?
6:27 am
LoriP
he 6, slang for 'yer butt!
6:27 am
MrsS
If you know the parents of the offending girls, you could bring it to their attention also.
6:27 am
bonkler
do you know any of the bully girls or their parents, their folks might like to know what they've been up to. also there was the case of the woman in the states who created an account to bully a kid who committed suicide and was charged and convicted. that case has been appealed. the idea that such behaviour might land them and their kids in court might help to get recalcitrant parents off the couch.
6:27 am
carleekat
ummm...not really... ( and yes..she does.....she tries to hang out..but honestly has very little in common with her other then geography.....she lives 5 houses away....no similar interests at all..
6:28 am
hurshy
i had a kid that i was tutoring at the school i used to work in, where all the boys in his dorm didn't like this one particular boy - they said he was alway
6:28 am
Trifioso
okay, carlee - but the important thing is for your daughter to stand up to any bullying, whether she is friends with the girl or not. That will a) send the general message that not everyone agrees with the opinions expressed by the bullies, and b) send the message that bullying is not okay
6:28 am
hurshy
always being unpleasant to everyone and so they were unpleasant back
6:29 am
MrsS
still stuck on he 6/21
6:29 am
hurshy
so, i talked to the kid i knew and i encouraged him to just be super nice to this guy. every time he did something unpleasant, do something nice back.
6:29 am
Trifioso
mrs s - he +not out + two vowels
6:29 am

6:35 am
carleekat
I was going to say....greek cheers with oozo...( sp?)
6:35 am
MrsS
are the girls in any summer activities? sometimes people like coaches can have a lot of impact on these things, you might enlist them as allies
6:35 am
hurshy
oh, is it greek? i always get them mixed up
6:36 am
carleekat
no....our school district very odd... 1/2 the girls are from other side of city.....and are bussed in cus there no is school in that neighbourhood...
6:37 am
hurshy
well, i think the main thing with bullying is that sometimes adults are only thinking about getting the behavior to stop by means of external punishments or controls, and there's really no reason why one can't aim for actually communicating with the kids and helping them learn empathy and improve as people.
6:38 am
MrsS
og 4/6? I'm really struggling with the short words today

I assume she has been an "only child" for quite some time so getting along with the other cat is a big plus
8:45 am

it really is, I was very anxious about the cat situation. the only thing is that they eat different food. she does not like his. but he will eat anything
8:46 am
periwinkle
yes she has been an "only child" for 13 years and he has been an "only child" for 12 years. it is amazing how well they get along

sledgehammering Trif?
1:21 pm
redturtlehead
Hi Trif, how is your finger?
1:22 pm
Trifioso
just cleaning, but a sledgehammer and flamethrower would not be inappropriate -- esp primo's room, and Secondo's hideaway, aka "the crypt"
1:22 pm
Trifioso
better red, thanks, looks like I am keeping the end of it, so that is good good good news!
1:22 pm
redturtlehead
yes I agree good news.
1:22 pm
nrkii
oh my, what happened to your finger???
1:23 pm
Trifioso
i really suck at doing things left handed - should I have a stroke later in life, I am DONE FOR
1:23 pm
Trifioso
crushed my right index finger, nrkii. it's not pretty, I don't recommend it.
1:24 pm
redturtlehead
I have to say Trif,my only blessing about my hand injury was that it was my left. Had it been my right I would be working an entirely different job right now.
1:24 pm
redturtlehead
And it does suck...like trying to use a can opener, or put o n a bra...
1:25 pm
Trifioso
glad to hear that, red! Yes, bras are a particular challenge (insert joke from Tor here....), but the worst part has been doing dishes.
1:25 pm
Trifioso
oh, btw red, I went to a seminar about finding jobs yest, and the speaker was singing the praises of local business women networking groups, toastmasters, and the like. have you/do you agree?
1:25 pm
redturtlehead
I used dish washer, as I had pins.nogetting i t wet forforever.
1:26 pm
redturtlehead
I also cut off all my hair, because i couldnt put i t in a pony tail....
1:26 pm
nrkii
ouch to both of you!
1:27 pm
torgone
*wakes up* Huh? ..
1:27 pm
redturtlehead
nrkii, this was a while ago for me, my left hand is operational, ,but not as it used tobe, but Iamg rateful for a world class surgeon and Hand therapist...
1:27 pm
Trifioso
lol tor - knew that would get your attention!
1:28 pm
nrkii
how does one crush a finger? car door?
1:28 pm
Trifioso
paving stones -- i was, quite literally, between a rock and a hard place
1:29 pm
redturtlehead
Oooow trif.
1:29 pm
nrkii
wow, I'm glad I asked... I'm accident prone, and I just helped a neighbor with their paving stones a few weeks ago
1:29 pm
Trifioso
yeah, that's pretty much what i said
1:30 pm
redturtlehead
I fell while running so nrkii, you just have to sit still...
1:30 pm
nrkii
I'm much more likely to do something with a car door though... when I'm not paying attention... or slam the trunk down on my hand... stupid accidents are more my style
1:30 pm
Trifioso
haven't been out to the pond since - should prob check on the fish. bit of an abuse situation really
1:30 pm
Trifioso
anyway, red -- do you have an opinion on business networking groups?
1:30 pm
redturtlehead
Fish will be fine, lots of bugs.
1:30 pm
Trifioso
I am hesitant to attend, since I have no job and present, and precious little idea of what I would do if I had one
1:31 pm
Trifioso
at present, even
1:31 pm
redturtlehead
trif, I really don;t know much about those things, given my job....
1:31 pm
Trifioso
okay, thanks -- just sort of threw it out there
1:32 pm
nrkii
Trif, I don't think you need to have a job to feel comfortable in one of those groups... but you do need to know what you're "positioning yourself" as
1:32 pm
redturtlehead
someone else, Lurkerz? Torgie?
1:32 pm
Atalante
I have a few friends who have been in toastmasters, and they loved it
1:33 pm
Trifioso
so, i am guessing "clueless" wont' gain me much traction then, eh? I thought maybe it would be good for me to listen to the other women there, to get a sense of what seems exciting, or sparks an interest in me
1:34 pm
nrkii
good point Trif, that might prove helpful
1:35 pm
Trifioso
that and I am lazy -- maybe someone would meet me and be so enchanted with me they would know a job I was just perfect for, and boom, problem solved. could happen.
1:35 pm
torgone
Don't know much about it, but any kind of networking will usually be helpful in some way ..
1:35 pm

1:38 pm
redturtlehead
Have you read an older book, "What color is your parachute?" its a helpfulbook for "clueless"people.
1:38 pm
Trifioso
yes -- my parachute is many clueless colors. also tried "the pathfinder"
1:39 pm
redturtlehead
Oh goodness.

Well, go for the one that makes the most cash that you are qualified for, or can get qualified for quickly.

(he he he, thats how I became a Nurse.)
1:40 pm

nursing would be an amazing option for me here in massachusetts, where they are desperate for them, but I have NO skills or inclination in that area, unfortunately. Apparently it skips a generation -- BOTH my parents are doctors!
1:43 pm
Trifioso
------------->pondering the sound of falling in everyone's esteem
1:44 pm
redturtlehead
No issue, trif, its a very difficult job at times, I am so grateful these days that I did it, given the economic times.
1:44 pm
torgone
Because you aren't inclined to be a nurse? Silly ..
1:44 pm
redturtlehead

Hi there Une!!

At first glance, this looked like a nice gentle grid - but its proving otherwise.....
3:41 pm
Patxxx
BUT Torchwood is scrambling my brain too!
3:43 pm
Soodle
Holy Moses! Another Torchwooder. I just can't wait to see this programme.. Ata had a pic as her icon, which seriously tickled my fancy. U a fan as well, Pat?
3:46 pm
Patxxx
I watched a couple last year but I was not able to see it all. However, this week every night at 9 I.ve been glued to the screen (and trying to Babble). It's good but not my normal viewing. So, you learn something new about yourself all the time. My second childhood perhaps?
3:46 pm
Soodle
What station is it on Pat?
3:47 pm
Uneaixoise
here it's on BBC America
3:47 pm

3:59 pm
Patxxx
Aww the good guys won. Don't tell my kids I watched it, I'll lose the moral highground, ie 'why are you watching this rubbish?' etc etc.
4:01 pm

For all the good staring at this stupendously difficult grid will do I might as well watch the lousy news!
4:01 pm

4:50 pm
