morning, all. this is going to be a very difficult week.

6:24 am

startrek

ok, I'll ask... why is it going to be difficult?

6:24 am

Angelsong

my ex husband's stepfather is dying. If there is no significant change in his condition by tomorrow, he will be taken off life support.

6:25 am

startrek

bad week indeed :/

6:26 am

Andree

how sad angel, i hope at least he has had a long and happy life

6:27 am

Andree

when my dad died that thought helped

6:27 am

Angelsong

he is 73, and is a retired minister.

6:27 am

Angelsong

he is 73, and is a retired minister.

6:28 am

Andree

73 seems too young to die, my dad was 83

6:28 am

startrek

My dad died at 60 of cancer - 73 is a good age

6:28 am

Angelsong

yesterday, he had minimal brain function and kidneys were failing.

6:29 am

Andree

60 way too young

6:30 am

startrek

far too young, I get a horrible jealousy when I see so many people older than him. Just not fair

6:41 am

Angelsong

we did get to spend the afternoon with two of our grandangels yesterday. Mom had to go help plan for her grandfather's funeral.

Hi mom2

We all make that mistake, vcj. I was joking about it being a perfect clue.

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

7:30 am

mom2han8

I am up and down today... trying to get a little organized this morning.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I have to leave for work in 45 minutes but I am enjoying the smells and sights from the back deck here. I love the smell of the woods after rain.

7:31 am

mom2han8

started my new coupon system yesterday... we shall see if it works better than the old one.

7:31 am

mom2han8

Great smell!

7:31 am

72 Temple Owl

how goes it, mom?

7:31 am

Scrabbler

What system do you use, mom2?

7:31 am

mom2han8

Good TO... haven't seen you in a while. We must be on different schedules.

7:32 am

mom2han8

Well, a friend told me to alphabetize and use small envelopes, which actually fit into my old coupon organizer... so we shall see.

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

no longer on during the workday.

7:32 am

mom2han8

It just seems like no matter what I do I am still the woman riffling through coupons in the aisle, LOL.

7:33 am

mom2han8

Why TO? Did work clamp down on websites? Or are you just busy?

7:33 am

Scrabbler

I just use a big envelope, review them before shopping, then put them in order of the aisles.

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

yes they did. we can get to the dictionary site but cannot access game of day link there, for example

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Too bad, Owl.

7:34 am

mom2han8

Yes. I have an envelope for what I will be buying today, use the circular to make list, etc... but if I get there and think I have a coupon for an item that I forgot to put on my list... then I am searching through my organizer (which was organized by categories)... it was just a mess... so I am trying this system.

7:35 am

mom2han8

TO... my husband's job did that recently as well...

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Guess what? A tornado came down about 45 min from here yesterday at about 5--closed down both roads, caused damage, but no injuries.

7:35 am

mom2han8

He said that some people were on sites when they had work to do... he was annoyed because he used to go on at lunchtime...

7:35 am

Uneaixoise

yikes, scrabs!!

7:35 am

mom2han8

Wow... you're in upstate NY, right?

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a new job and would not have been on except at lunch. but on the bright side, i am getting out and walking every day at lunch now

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it hit Corfu, NY. People video'ed (is that a word?) the funnel--very cool.

7:36 am

mom2han8

It's a shame that a few have to suffer for the many.

7:36 am

mom2han8

I was in a tornado once.... nothing cool about it!

7:37 am

mom2han8

No, it is cool to see, just not to experience.

7:37 am

72 Temple Owl

eek not sure i would even want to see a little one up close. did see a waterspout once - so short lived

7:37 am

mom2han8

Well... good walking is good!

7:38 am

mom2han8

We were traveling in Canada... it was like something out of a move... the sky turned this beautiful purple color and then all hell broke loose.

7:38 am

Scrabbler

My poison ivy rash is making me crazy with itching. And I have a few new patches today. I can't wait for this to be over.

Sept 29th--I think that is 9 wks from Tuesday.

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

how are they treating you at work?

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Most of the staff found out this past week and many are shocked and saddened. I am the morale booster and keep everyone laughing.

7:44 am

ah no more Richard Head stories after the 29th???

EspritdJean

speaking of what Nonnie just said

7:45 am

NonnieLight

Yes, good luck to you scrabbs! I hope all goes well for you :o)

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Boss is finding opportunities to bully me when possible. Example: mother showed up 25 min late with 7 mo old twins, for "recheck" visit--not urgent. I had no available appts for rest of day (full schedule) so I told staff to have her reschedule. Boss found out, was furious at me (not mother)
and docked me 30 min of pay.

7:46 am

EspritdJean

www.prankplace.com and put in search window that name you call your boss

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nonnie

7:46 am

Scrabbler

I will, Jean, later.

7:46 am

EspritdJean

don't forget

7:47 am

EspritdJean

warning: yuo will wet yourself

7:47 am

NonnieLight

Docked your pay? For goodness sake!

7:47 am

mom2han8

I don't even think that is legal. but, what do you care at this point, anyway... what do you do? Nurse or admin?

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Checking it now, Jean---wow!

7:48 am

EspritdJean

scrabs is a physician

7:48 am

EspritdJean

don't you love it Scrabs??

7:49 am

72 Temple Owl

how can the pay of a salaried worker be docked?

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Ooh, Jean, the possibilities are endless.

7:49 am

mom2han8

OMG... if he treats you that way, how must he treat other staff members??

7:50 am

Scrabbler

He owns the practice so I guess it is legal but it is rude and demeaning.

7:50 am

mom2han8

Are you going to another practice in the area?

7:50 am

72 Temple Owl

just give him a smug smile

7:50 am

EspritdJean

there is also an official site called DH world

7:50 am

mom2han8

Still don't think it is legal, particularly for "contract" employees.

7:50 am

NonnieLight

Would he have paid you the half hour had you stayed over to work the patients in???

7:50 am

JBV

good morning, and weighing in on the side of rational and compassionate employee practices - scrabs, you are doing the best thing to get out of there

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Yep, he abuses, degrades, criticizes, bullies, nitpicks, all with great excellence and no shame.

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

scrabs looking at new snack food on today show. dried corn kernels

7:51 am

JBV

TO, employees can be docked but the policy is usually spelled out very clearly and distinctly and is not left up to some subjective feeling of the moment or revenge tactics

7:51 am

mom2han8

I have been job interviewing... and I swear that I want to say... "so... on a scale of 1 to 10 how crazy, irrational, manipulative is the person for whom I will be working???"...

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

they loook good.

7:52 am

NonnieLight

lol mom

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Nonnie, no because those twins were part of my afternoon "session" so we get paid
to see all patients in a session no matter how long it takes us

7:52 am

mom2han8

Really... they want to know everything about you... I went on one last week... and after the interview I spoke with several staff members about working there... let me just say... glad I did.

7:53 am

NonnieLight

Too bad he is such a jerk but thank goodness you're moving onward and upward!

7:53 am

JBV

good idea, mom, better to be informed in advance of what you're getting into

7:53 am

mom2han8

Scrabbs... probably just so not worth it... you only have a little while left...

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Read Robert Sutton's book: The No A$$hole Rule. I sat and read it at Border's one afternoon a few years ago, it started me on the road to finding a new local job, I e-mailed the author, and now I am leaving!

7:54 am

mom2han8

OMG... am writing it down and buying it!

7:54 am

Scrabbler

I have ignored him regarding the "punishment" because it is not worth the hassle and aggravation. Bullies are best ignored.

7:55 am

mom2han8

I am looking for something in the hotel industry... not a ton of jobs right now because it is summer.. but the one interview I went on... did not get a great feeling and then casually spoke to staff after I left... they offered me the job, but I turned them down.

7:55 am

72 Temple Owl

mine is doing all she can to make life miserable. she is actually moving my desk to the one that sits empty because its location is crappy. when the guy who got "my" job looks up i am the only thing in his line of sight. and vice versa.

7:55 am

mom2han8

In your situation ignoring is the way to go... but I have found that bullies are best stood up to... when you do they have no idea how to handle it.

7:55 am

NonnieLight

Indeed, no response gets under a person's skin and the beauty is you didn't have to do a thing to him to get to him!

7:56 am

mom2han8

Ah, jeez.... that's a shame TO.

7:56 am

72 Temple Owl

and it costs $ to do this. i don't know how she gets away with it.

7:56 am

mom2han8

Obviously as you are leaving then ignoring him is best... but I had a boss years ago that I stood up to and after I did it was actually a pleasant experience to work for him.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

*phone call*

7:57 am

NonnieLight

Gotta run...take care all and hope to see you later.

7:57 am

mom2han8

TO... master manipulators are GREAT at justification... you just have to hope that eventually someone catches on.. probably expensive to replace her as well.

7:57 am

JBV

here's a sad state of affairs - we provide workshops for teachers on anti-bullying - mainly to teach them how to see it, stop it, etc. among the KIDS - then we hear teachers saying, but what about principals bullying teachers????

7:57 am

72 Temple Owl

mom wroks in some cases not all. i don'tknow what my boss knows about whom but she gets away with it. and now that she has a bout with cancer no one will cross her

7:58 am

mom2han8

What about the fact that they take these classes, their BOEs bpay for them, and they turn a blind eye anyway???? and don't get me started on administrators, LOL!

7:58 am

72 Temple Owl

oh i am sick to deathof the dancing wedding

7:58 am

mom2han8

TO... poor you1

7:58 am

mom2han8

What the heck is the dancing wedding???

7:59 am

72 Temple Owl

here is whatg they do if they are not the kind that backs down (i've had that kind too) they go behind you back and tell upper mgt you are trouble and wrose

8:00 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must get ready for work. I will be back later.

8:00 am

mom2han8

We are paying a counselor and the state has given her a grant for this thing that is a female anti-bullying program... guess who is in the group? All the female bullies.... the group is "drop in"... it should be up to the counselor to identify the "at risk" children and then do an anti-bullying session with her "group"... by the way... she tells the kids that she was a bully in middle school.. LOL!

8:00 am

72 Temple Owl

bye scrabs, hope your day is a good one

8:00 am

mom2han8

Bye Scrabbs good luck.

8:01 am

mom2han8

Unfortunately TO... that is office politics... you have to know when to play your cards.

8:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i am just smiling and agreeing. let her get in her final shots

8:03 am

mom2han8

Now, my kid is not bullied... but here is the kicker... the counselor "invites" the kids to her office to discuss her program... then at the end of the year "counts" each child that she discussed the program with so that her participation numbers look like 100%... so she keeps getting state grants for the program... it's ridiculous.

8:03 am

mom2han8

And of course the admininstrator knows all about it.

8:04 am

mom2han8

When I was on the Board of Ed I tried to create criteria for these clubs/organizations that got stipends (don't so much care what the state gives her)... but to no avail.

8:04 am

hurshy

maybe the bullies know they are bullies and are looking for ways to change

8:04 am

mom2han8

OK... they actually "bully" kids into not coming to the program, as that is their time with the Perceived as Cool Counselor...

8:04 am

JBV

there should be some way of comparing discipline outcomes from year to year, mom - number of suspensions for fighting, etc.

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't believe anything is effective except someone grabbing the perpetrator by the scruff of the neck and laying down the law. based on work with adolescents in a secure detention facility

8:05 am

mom2han8

That would work if these girls ever actually got in trouble... but the administrator just lets them get away with what they get away with because they are mostly jocks... the admin LOVES his jocks.

8:05 am

72 Temple Owl

no counseling can be done until the behavior is checked

8:05 am

mom2han8

If the counselor and the Admin are in cahoots there is not much you can do!

8:06 am

JBV

i agree, mom that is a problem

8:06 am

mom2han8

I am not on the Board of Ed anymore... so now I am just a parent... watch out!!!! LOL.

8:06 am

JBV

are these girls also protected by parent bullies - that is another phenomenon we've seen

8:06 am

JBV

uh-oh spoke too soon:)

8:07 am

mom2han8

JBV.. I think it is great that you run these programs. But they just don't work and they cost districts a fortune.

8:07 am

mom2han8

Oh, no... I am not a bully.

8:08 am

mom2han8

We had a situation a few years ago... something was so against current educational thinking... so I took my BOE hat off... did TONS of research... presented my findings... and it was changed... that's how I do things... emotional blackmail my be effective, but it leaves a bad taste.... best to do things properly. Work through the right channels to have things changed.

8:08 am

JBV

well I wouldn't say a fortune, mom, not sure, as it is not my domain, but I'd say it was worth it

8:09 am

mom2han8

And it was changed at the principal's level...

8:09 am

JBV

the principal is the key to getting things done at the school level, so one school at a time is better than nothing

8:09 am

mom2han8

The cost for full staff in-service workshops, continuing ed credits, etc... it is significant. And I am not against it as long as it actually accomplishes something.

8:10 am

mom2han8

Well... it was only happening at one school.

8:10 am

mom2han8

Anyway, my point is that you can effect change by working within the system... you just have to be smart about it... no reason for bullying if you are right!

8:11 am

speedfreak

bullying programs don't work because there is no accountability the parents fight the school whenever there little darling gets in trouble they blame it on someone else...in Mass. a 5th grader drew a pic of him shooting his teacher in the head with detail he got a 1 day suspension, now a year later his mother got a lawyer to try and sue for emotional damage to her son!!!

8:11 am

JBV

wow

8:13 am

mom2han8

BOEs are entirely too afraid of litigation... I used to say "bring it"!

8:13 am

mom2han8

If you call these parents' bluffs... often they are full of baloney.

8:14 am

speedfreak

it is tough to work at school when the kids laugh if you send them to the office since nothing is going to happen

8:14 am

mom2han8

To hire an attorney to write a letter, etc... cost is minimal... to actually proceed and file the lawsuit is something altogether different and usually not, in the end, what is done!

8:15 am

JBV

and even the punishment is really not a deterrent - suspension is just another day off from school

8:15 am

beachboggle

good morning, fellow babblers!

8:15 am

mom2han8

Well... yeah... but my big issue...why is nothing happening???? It's just ridiculous... call these peoples bluffs... eventually they will get the message. But the administrator really MUST document everything and use the policies as they are written.. often they do not.

8:15 am

mom2han8

morning beach.

8:16 am

8:16 am

8:16 am

mom2han8

And it can be done... it just has to be school policy.

8:16 am

you are right Mom, the school admin doesnt back the teachers, they back the kids

clue me in pls

8:18 am

mom2han8

Here is a great example... the principal and teachers are charged with enforcing dress code. A kid is wearing something, say, inappropriate... I say that the principal should make them wear an oversized, ugly t-shirt... like a scarlet letter.. instead, the principal either does absolutely nothing (usually the case) OR sends the kid home...

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

was just watching, TO -- so cool!

8:19 am

suefrad625

your right mom. at my kids middle school the teacher get pink ribbons and make the kids tie their pants up with them

8:19 am

suefrad625

I love it, but it will come to an end when a parent tells them that it hurt her kids feelings

8:19 am

suefrad625

Dr. Spoke killed the system

8:20 am

mom2han8

I was at field day and these girls had on shorts that... well let me just say the mystery was over, LOL... anyway, I mentioned to the principal that these shorts were clearly in violation of dress code.. field day or not... he just rolled his eyes and said, "Should I send everyone home?"... I said, NO! Give them one of your staff of XXXL T-shirts and make them wear them... the uglier the better!

8:20 am

hi Boo

8:21 am

I offered to pay for the t-shirts out of my own pocket... with catchy little sayings on them... like, "The system must not be working... I can't read the dress code"... LOL!

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

hi boo.

8:22 am

suefrad625

I work in a lot of H.S. here and I tell the kids that I find seeing their underpant embarrasing and offensive

8:22 am

mom2han8

but again... who were these young ladies (and I use the term loosely).... the jock girls that HE fawns over... ridiculous.

8:22 am

suefrad625

I ask that they pick them up or take them off since usually they are wearing shorts under them

8:22 am

suefrad625

and they usually do one of the two

8:22 am

mom2han8

Seeing their underwear would have been an improvement over what we all had to look at, LOL.

8:23 am

suefrad625

8:23 am

i cannot understand why parents permit this. they buy the stuff. i mean come on, why walk around with letters on your rear?

8:23 am

mom2han8

Well.. I plan on showing up at BOE meetings this year to let them know that the dress code should be enforced... and that the stipends that the teachers receive should be earned.

Wolvie

I have no children, but I do admit that the passion for pants that fall off your a** befuddles me

8:28 am

Wolvie

hi une

8:28 am

welki

well, no surprise when i see them in adult court a few years later

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

yay wolvie!

8:28 am

Wolvie

I mean, they can't even walk without holding up their pants. No fun there that I see

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone remember their father telling them to go get changed or wipe that gook off face or they were not going out?

8:30 am

Wolvie

yep. sure do, first time i used purple eye shadow. lol

8:30 am

Wolvie

he said it looked like someone beat me.

8:30 am

hurshy

nope - cause i didn't do it in the first place - mom took me shopping and saw that i didn't buy anything inappropriate

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

did not do it again that is for sure

8:31 am

Wolvie

the big one for me with my Dad was if he got to the point where he said, quietly "enough" that was it

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

well there is a novel concept. so hursh have you been permanently damgaed as a result of that?

8:31 am

Wolvie

took a lot to get him there

8:32 am

hurshy

not that i'm aware of...

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean has your individuality been squelched?

8:32 am

Wolvie

well peeps - off to fix brunch - have fun

8:32 am

hurshy

where's the individuality in looking like all the other kids?

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

;D

8:35 am

welki

heck, my mother wouldn't let me wear make up either ... but there was a friend whose mother wouldn't tell *lol*

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

looking back seems what they objected to was always the extreme

8:35 am

hurshy

i love the scene in that house episode where he interviews a young guy with long hair and a tattoo, and doesn't want to hire him... and the guy says, i thought you'd be the last person to have a problem with nonconformity... and house says something about how common 20-somethings with tattoos of asian symbols are, and if he really didn't care what people thought, he'd have a pocket protector etc

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

hurshy am watching sunday morning which has a pet/animal theme for the features today. btw the baby is getting so big - not a baby anymore

8:37 am

welki

true, owl. i grew up in nyc ... i think that most of my rules were safety based, not 'what the other people think' based

8:38 am

hurshy

yes, he's been a toddler for a goodish while now

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean my dad really did worry about my safety if i went out with jeans that looked painted on. appearances DO mean something

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh looking at dogs in paris accompanying their owners everywhere even inside cafes and the pet cemetary

8:41 am

welki

you're younger than i am, owl (i'm pretty sure) and i know what you mean ... painted jeans for me would equate to hippie, which would translate to liberal, easy and cheap ... sad, but true.

8:42 am

welki

(so i wore them anyway *lol*)

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

rin tin tin is buried in paris. apparently the original was found by a gi in france

8:44 am

bonkler

um aren't we one step away from blaming girls for being assaulted due to looking sexy? i suspect people forget themselves as they grow older. when i was in school in the 70s there was no lack of tight and revealing clothing on both genders.

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

no we are not bonk.

8:45 am

welki

nope, not the way i think the convo was headed

8:47 am

bonkler

don't get me wrong, kids wear a lot of gawd awful stuff, ridiculous, tawdry and so forth. but i do recall my high school girlfriend in her tube top and second skin jeans and that's a bit more than 30 years ago.

8:49 am

welki

that's just about the time period i was talking about, bonk .. it's not the 'fashion' that's been discussed, but the way our elders guided us through those times, i think

8:51 am

bonkler

fair enough. i think kids are exposed to a lot more, a lot more quickly. and in some regards their nihilistic attitudes echo those of their elders who seem to have fallen into greed and social apathy. our leaders pretend to be conservative and moral, run off to collect billions from war and pollution. say their prayers and shag their mistresses. it ain't just the kids, as noted.

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

that is as i recall the gist of the conversation.

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

Hi Bonkler, here the sky has gone dark and looks like a heavy rainfall, perhaps worse. Pretty big clouds to get both of us in shot. Might lose net connection!

9:02 am

welki

where are you bonk, pat?

9:04 am

Patxxx

Hi Welki, I'm in Yorkshire, UK.

9:04 am

welki

home of the 'magic roundabout! i must have spent half a day in it, thought i'd run out of gas! lol

9:05 am

welki

finally escaped, found a nice pub where the owner opened a bottle of scotch called, 'sheep dip' and treated me to a swig or two :)

9:06 am

Patxxx

Pretty close to me then. It's sold round here!

9:08 am

welki

must leave for a bit *poof*

9:09 am

cybernan

Hi Pat -- we are coming to Yorkshire in September!

9:10 am

cybernan

My husband will want to know the location of that pub, welki!!!

9:14 am

Patxxx

Hi Cybernan, might have some decent weather by then. The last 10 days have been rainy and sunny. Mostly rainy when the builders are here - we have removed a conservatory and are extending instead. The joiners have been delayed so it will take longer than it should - like September instead of end August! Still had to water the garden as the sun inbetween was ok.

9:15 am

Boobear

clue for the last co 5

9:16 am

Patxxx

Cybernan, find the CAMRA site (campaign for real ale) cos where the beer id good you will find the likes of Sheep Dip and plenty more. I guess the site will prob be www.camra.co.uk. Will check for you - covers the whole of the UK.

9:17 am

HI hope so -- we have rented a self-catering flat in York for 8 the third week -- it will come at the end of our holiday when we are ready for some time on our own and things not so hectic as when on a tour.

ty pat -- will look it up

9:21 am

Patxxx

It is www.camra.org.uk But not short of good pubs in York and ALL surrounding areas. So no worry. See the Minster before it gets struck by ligtning again. It's beautiful again.

9:23 am

cybernan

ty -- will pass the url along to my husband -- he will be appreciative, I am sure. We do plan to see Yorkminster Abbey and the Viking museum as well as much of the surrounding countryside as we can manage.

9:26 am

Don't know too much about Yorkshire, but have been reading up on it. Chose it as the location for our last week because my husband's family emigrated from York about 9 generations (225 yrs) ago.

Typically, I will be in Hampshire, twixt Southampton and Winchester then. If it is up to my grandchildren I will be fishing. I am a fairly good fisherwoman, tho a bit rusty so me and my 10yr old granddaughter will have to beat the men. They never expect it so, in effect, play against themselves and then SHOUT all the excuses in the world as to why we won. HUH!

Cybernan. Fantastic shop in Hawes, North Yorks. Well worth a visit. All the local delish cheeses. But Nth Yorks has plenty such places. James Herriott, the vet, worked the THIRSK area also not far from York. Ask n York as it has a very very good tourist info service and the VIKING museum is terrific.

dcseain

i like the live on a yacht idea

1:25 pm

Judi

I WISH!

1:26 pm

Judi

Strange. "ecoli" is not accepted.

1:26 pm

dcseain

as in e. coli?

1:27 pm

Judi

That would explain why.

1:28 pm

dcseain

:) one of the first things we got to do in the biotech lab - at age 15, was to insert the tetracycline resistence from PBR 322 into E. Coli

1:28 pm

dcseain

i loved working in the lab.

1:28 pm

dcseain

such fun

1:28 pm

dcseain

but, i chose an other path

1:29 pm

Judi

Well, I suppose there's more to life than manipulating germs and bacteria.

1:30 pm

dcseain

yes there is. My specialty came to be hydroponics

1:30 pm

Judi

Nifty!

1:30 pm

dcseain

my career has ended up in Tech Support :)

1:32 pm

dcseain

how are you this fine day?

1:35 pm

Judi

I am fine this fine day. Went to the farmer's market. Got lots of yummy veggies. Came home and sauteed some of them for later tonight. Made a big cucumber, basil and pea shoot salad. Had to stop washing things 'cause my fingers were getting all pruney.

1:35 pm

dcseain

of6 - sort of not on

1:35 pm

dcseain

oh, how wonderfil, juid!

1:35 pm

dcseain

1:36 pm

Judi

Now I'm just pecking away at Babble and sipping my ice tea. Life is tough.

1:37 pm

dcseain

iced tea. i had some with dinner last night. I really ought to make up a pot like mama used to.

1:37 pm

Nef

Hi Babble friends. How are you today?

1:37 pm

Judi

Hiya, Nef!

1:37 pm

dcseain

hi, nef. well, thank you, and you?

1:38 pm

dcseain

1:39 pm

Nef

(I'm having a low-key day; it's beautiful weather here today but I'm dealing with a queesy stomach so just not doing much0

1:41 pm

Nef

Iced tea? I'll stick to sips of water for now.

1:41 pm

Nef

Seain, thanks for letting me know.

1:42 pm

Judi

What has made you queasy, Nef?

1:43 pm

Soodle

Hi Everybody. Wearing her flak jacket, and waving a white flag, Soodle cautiously enters chog.....

1:43 pm

Nef

I'm putting it up to too much stress this past week. (Thanks for letting me know how to spell that, Judi. Couldn't figure out queasy for anything! :-)

1:44 pm

Judi

Hiya, Soodle. I think you're safe.

1:45 pm

Soodle

Whew!! As a mam of 3 teenagers, I don't need bickering on Babble!!! lol

1:46 pm

Nef

hi Soodle. No one has hit us in the past 1/2 hour I think

1:46 pm

Judi

I came in after the rift. I didn't even bother to scroll back to see what it was about.

1:47 pm

Soodle

Lifes too short, eh?

1:47 pm

Judi

Babble should be a no quibble zone.

1:48 pm

Nef

I think some people just don't like each other. It's none of my business, and I don't get involved. I don't think others get dragged into it *most of the time.

1:49 pm

Judi

As Soodle' steenagers would no doubt say... what.ev.er.

1:50 pm

Nef

yep

1:50 pm

Soodle

Oh, save me from the 'Whatevers'!! I keep telling them that when my menopause hits, I will match them, hormone for hormone!!! lol

1:51 pm

Judi

*inserts dramatic eye roll to accompany what.ev.er*

1:52 pm

dcseain

back

1:53 pm

dcseain

lol

1:53 pm

Soodle

I am actually very lucky to have three teenagers. Because, you see, they know EVERYTHING. about everything. Don't know how I ever coped before they came on the scene!!! (tongue firmly in cheek))

1:54 pm

Judi

Thanks for reminding me I have to do laundry, dc. Then I have to do some ironing (drudge!). Until the day shorts and t-shirts are allowed at work, I must press my blouses and trousers. Damned uncivilized if you ask me.

1:54 pm

Nef

I'm just so glad that that time of my life is now ancient history. :-)

1:54 pm

Judi

lol, Soodle. I'm sure they're tweeting behind your back as we speak.

1:55 pm

dcseain

i pressed pants and hung them, and have shirts in the dryer now :)

1:55 pm

Soodle

Ha!! No they're not, Judi. Cos their mam is hogging the 'puter!!!!

1:57 pm

Judi

Good for you, Soodle. I hope you have them doing chores.

1:57 pm

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

I am sitting on my back deck, looking at the gardens.

2:02 pm

dcseain

very nice, scrabbs

2:03 pm

Judi

Sounds blissful, Scrabbs. Can we peal you a grape?

2:04 pm

dcseain

sonorous grapes. :) mayhap peel one?

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

I am eating sugar-free popsicles so as to cool off--sun is now out after a hard rain.

2:04 pm

Judi

Peel. Peal. what.ev.er.

2:04 pm

dcseain

:D

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

I have a sweatshirt that says WHATEVER

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

How are you and Tom without Jasper, Seain?

2:05 pm

CiociaJudy

wahhhhhh! I need a laptop so I can sit on my deck, look at the garden and Babble at the same time.

2:05 pm

Judi

Awesome, Scrabbler. I want one that says, "Why Bother?".

2:06 pm

dcseain

judy, just set you computer up with a window view

2:06 pm

Scrabbler

Judy, in January I treated myself to a $379 mini-laptop from www.tigerdirect.com. Great decision.

2:07 pm

CiociaJudy

great idea, dc

2:07 pm

Soodle

Scrabbler - you didn't get that sweatshirt from my kids, did you?

2:07 pm

CiociaJudy

ooooo Scrabs sounds like a plan!!!

2:07 pm

Judi

lol, Soodle!

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, no, Soodle. Someone gave it to me as a gift probably 15 yrs ago, because I am so easy-going.

2:07 pm

CiociaJudy

dc, it would be tough to Babble from my kitchen counter . . .

2:07 pm

dcseain

If there's a Micro Center near you, Judy, they have great deals on rebuilt laptops

2:08 pm

CiociaJudy

I think I'm at a point where I "NEED" a laptop! LOL

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Check it out, Judy. I got the Acer Aspire One, in blue, and have been happy with it--it serves my needs/wants. Alternative was much more expensive laptop

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

I didn't NEED it either but now I can be anywhere in the house or yard, and I take it on vacations to use Wi-Fi.

2:09 pm

Judi

Tiger Direct has excellent prices. A lot of stuff you order from Amazon.com comes from there.

2:09 pm

CiociaJudy

never knew that Judi (and Scrabs). thx

2:12 pm

Nef

I got 2 refurb HP laptops (for hubby and dtr) for Christmas from Geek.com for less than $600 (even with shipping). We've bought lots of stuff through them over the years and have always been satisfied

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

TY for sharing that, Nef--another good resource

2:13 pm

CiociaJudy

thx Nef

2:13 pm

Scrabbler

Must get anit-itch cream for poison ivy rash...BRB

2:13 pm

CiociaJudy

2:13 pm

CiociaJudy

oh no Scrabs . . . poison ivy . . . yuk

2:14 pm

dcseain

oh, yes, there are many affordable windows laptops to be had with just a tad of research

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Judy!

2:14 pm

Judi

Bummer, Scrabbs. Cortisone is good - dries it up too.

2:14 pm

CiociaJudy

just love my networking pals here in Babbleland

2:15 pm

Judi

If you're going natural - baking soda paste and/or calendula oil.

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

I have been applying steroid creams and Gold Bond anti-itch (menthol & pramoxine). Exposure was 7/17 so I am looking forward to resolution soon.

2:16 pm

2:18 pm

Scrabbler

2:18 pm

CiociaJudy

I think I shall throw in the towel for today at 23 remaining. I need to move around and do something practical.

Maybe - I get frustrated when I cannot see the words and I am at that point...... Enjoy!

Scrabbler

When you return you will "see" more words. It is amazing

2:21 pm

Judi

re6/24: particular area (county, town, etc.)

2:21 pm

Nef

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

I don't keep ice cream here because it talks to me, "Eat me, eat me."

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

jm, I have the grout, the floater, a sponge--is this doable or will I get frustrated and want to pay someone?

7:13 pm

jmcnrick

I buy a very small container and eat it all at one sitting

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

I bought some replacement tiles

7:13 pm

jmcnrick

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

7:18 pm

7:18 pm

7:18 pm

lbdawger

rhymes with what you have if you believe in something

7:19 pm

lbdawger

no, jmc, do retell!

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

I would do the same thing scrabs if I had any money

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Nef, it would certainly cause constipation, but if I do the project myself I can get a 1/2 gallon of triple chocolate fudge almond crunchy delight ice cream and reward myself

7:19 pm

Nef

a police raid, jmc? What happened?

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

as you konw I was at a Baptist conference in Utah

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

I would rather to DIY projects than pay someone else

7:19 pm

Nef

Ahhh! Now THAT makes sense Scrabs!

7:20 pm

Scrabbler

jm, I saw you and the Baptists on CNN

7:20 pm

jmcnrick

I was invited to a birthday party by one of the board members

7:20 pm

jmcnrick

me too scrabs but even diy costs money

7:20 pm

Nef

jmc; don't tell us the Baptists got in trouble in UTAH of all places!

7:20 pm

Scrabbler

And projects take time

7:20 pm

jmcnrick

don't you love it Nef?

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

I told them I would have a good time with this

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

lol scrabs

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

when they knocked on the door we thought we had been too loud

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

but it was because we had beer and wine at the party

7:21 pm

lbdawger

and...

7:21 pm

Nef

So Tell us what happened!

7:22 pm

jmcnrick

apparently it was dry campus so we said we would stop drinking

7:22 pm

lbdawger

who told on you? or were you table dancing?

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

the cop and the little nark (wearing a bandana in true nark tradition) said we had to get rid of the alcohol

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

so we offered to put it in the truck of the car andthey said it had to get off campus

7:24 pm

jmcnrick

so we offered to park off campus and they said that we had to pour it out or they would card us and possibly more

7:24 pm

lbdawger

well, i guess rules are rools.

I understand telling us to stop drinking and put it in the car or the car off campus but POURING IT OUT!?!?!

7:25 pm

Sudokuaddict

li 5,14 please?

7:25 pm

lbdawger

7:25 pm

lbdawger

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, far too uptight!

7:26 pm

jmcnrick

so my friends started pouring it out (18 beers and 2 bottles of wine) and I said if they wanted it poured out they should do it themselves!

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, time for dinner of some sort then perhaps grotuing tile before bed.

7:26 pm

jmcnrick

so everyone sat down and watched the little nark pour it out

7:26 pm

lbdawger

have fun? scrabs!

7:26 pm

Sudokuaddict

ok thank you :D

7:26 pm

jmcnrick

have a nice dinner scrabs

7:27 pm

lbdawger

hope he got his kicks out of that.

7:27 pm

jmcnrick

the cherry on top was the nark saying "I try not to drink" and I said-- either you drink or you don't. if you have to try not to you have a drinking problem.

7:27 pm

Nef

bye Scrabs. Good Luck on the grouting!

7:28 pm

jmcnrick

the baptists all giggled quitely

7:28 pm

7:28 pm

Nef

LOL!, jmc, it sounds as though you had as much fun watching (and nonviolently harrassing ) the narc!

7:28 pm

jmcnrick

anyway I think it is funny to have a police raid of a Baptist party

7:29 pm

lbdawger

definitely a self righteous little pinhead

7:29 pm

jmcnrick

that's me--universal nonviolent harasser

7:29 pm

lbdawger

just have to remember next time to move the party off campus

7:29 pm

Nef

I think it's hilarious! Did it make the daily paper? I'd love to have a copy of that! :-)

7:30 pm

jmcnrick

no thank goodness it did not -- I would have some splaining to do to my Mennonite and Brethren donors!

7:31 pm

jmcnrick

if I get arrested it I would prefer it to be for a matter of principle! lol

7:33 pm

Nef

Well, I was thinking of the type of police report that gets put in our small suburban paper: "police found several people drinking on a dry campus; alcohol was dumped, all involved were of age" -or something of the sort

7:34 pm

lbdawger

holy rollers rapped for illegal adult beverages on dry campus.

7:35 pm

jmcnrick

lol I like lbd's version better

7:35 pm

Nef

LBD, I love that! However, our suburban paper is much too boring to come up with swomething like that!

7:35 pm

lbdawger

Nef, our police blotter would have had a heyday with that one!

7:44 pm

lbdawger

what happened, Nef?

7:44 pm

jmcnrick

did you hit either the deer or bison back?

7:44 pm

J. C.

I haven't been lately either, JMC . . .

7:44 pm

lbdawger

deer left a hoof print in my rear bumper! bison drool, nasty stinky!

7:45 pm

J. C.

I've had to take my page down twice in the past fortnight. :( It's back up now, though - and protected more. (Stalker trouble.)

7:45 pm

jmcnrick

I was jumped by a deer once and the hoofs dragged my roof! scary

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

sorry to hear of the stalker trouble --- I have my own version of that and it is so discouraging

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

you can never seem to get away from them

7:46 pm

lbdawger

guess we're their targets, jmc. for all those that get hit by cars, they have to take it out on someone!

7:46 pm

Nef

Dumb drunken cowboy riding a horse in the middle of the night, got bucked off and two more drunken cowboys in a big 4X4 truck stopped and the 3 of them were trying to chase down the horse and they chased it right into our car! We had $4000 on our little Colt Vista: front roof, passenger side and rear-end damage

7:46 pm

jmcnrick

I guess I was glad the deer more or less cleared me

7:47 pm

jmcnrick

bummer nef

7:47 pm

J. C.

Oh god, the poor horse!!! :(

7:47 pm

lbdawger

did they pay for the damages, nef?

7:47 pm

jmcnrick

poor colt vista!

7:49 pm

lbdawger

little cars don't have much of a chance in that instance. i think the horse definitely has a chance of not being hurt too badly.

7:49 pm

Nef

The drunk cowboy took the horse "to my farm on the next right there;" and the other 2 jumped in that truck and did a U turn and took off; leaving DH, me, and the 2 kids to pick up the car-top carrier and everything else. The windshield was broken in on me too

7:50 pm

jmcnrick

in otherwords you never got a dime

7:50 pm

lbdawger

you all are so lucky to not have been hurt!

7:50 pm

J. C.

Oh my god, Nef - that's awful! :(

7:50 pm

J. C.

Yes . . .

7:51 pm

our insurance covered it because the cowboy lied. It was a hit and run. the hiway patrol was going to put out an APB for an injured horse; but the horse was moving pretty darned good that night

hi peri

I was recently on faceboook and a window opened up that said I had a trojan virus. has this happened to anyone else?

8:15 pm

Sudokuaddict

whats your question?

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

bye autumn

8:15 pm

periwinkle

and apparently my virus protection is not working :(

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

actually the pop up was probably the virus

8:16 pm

J. C.

Are you sure that wasn't merely one of those annoying pop-up adverts, designed to frighten you into clicking on it and buying their product, periwinkle?

8:16 pm

J. C.

There are many like that . . .

8:16 pm

redturtlehead

evening all... waiting desperately for Chicken.

8:16 pm

periwinkle

I got off of facebook and turned off the computer.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

if the window says click here to clean the virus, don't do it! that's how you get the virus!

8:16 pm

Sudokuaddict

never happened to me... sorry, my mom knows a lot about computers but i'm just playing her babble :D

8:16 pm

J. C.

I'm sure that's probably what it was, as there wouldn't be a virus warning on a website such as that.

8:16 pm

periwinkle

it said it was from windows. I didn't

8:16 pm

J. C.

And yes - what lbdawger said is also often true!

8:17 pm

J. C.

Was it from your actual anti-virus programme though, periwinkle?

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

windows doesn't do that ...so that is your first clue

8:17 pm

J. C.

No, what JMC said is right - Windows doesn't do that. So most likely, it is one of those adverts that pop up - close and ignore it.

8:17 pm

lbdawger

yea, it's one of those nasty little adverts that want you to download their junk, but it also turns out to be a nasty spam thing that can really mess up your computer

8:18 pm

J. C.

I've seen lots of those - designed to scare you into downloading, as lbdawger's just said . . .

8:18 pm

periwinkle

ah, never thought of that . I feel better now. No it was not from macafee which is apparently not working altho my nephew and brother in law both say it is installed. nothing happend when I click on their icon.

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

sorta like the phone calls that tell you that your warranty is about to expire

8:18 pm

J. C.

They are best closed with the 'X' in the upper right corner, and forgotten about. Never click on anything except that 'X' to close them!

8:19 pm

J. C.

Yes, JMC . . .

8:20 pm

lbdawger

click on your macafee icon, run scan and let it do it's thing.

8:21 pm

periwinkle

when I click on the macafee icon I just get their logo which blinks on and then off. it does not appear to be working :(

8:21 pm

periwinkle

I am not able to run a scan which is what I wanted to do

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

try right clicking

8:21 pm

sciencegeek

Peri - where you playing Farm Town on FB? I have had that happen in FT.

8:22 pm

J. C.

Oh no, periwinkle - perhaps you have a virus, which has disabled your antivirus programme then - but perhaps not, don't panic. Can you get a technician to check your computer?

8:22 pm

periwinkle

I was trying to play Scramble. I really like that game.

8:22 pm

sciencegeek

McAfee may not be able to remove it. It is a trojan and needs to be removed with an anti-spyware program. I had several of them on this pc. Husband cleaned it last night.

8:22 pm

periwinkle

my nephew works with computers but he could not come over tonight

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

what kinda geek are you that your husband has to remove it! lol

8:23 pm

J. C.

I had that happen to me once, and the virus disabled my Norton Antivirus programme. I since learned from a good technician never to use a well-known antivirus programme like Norton or McAfee, because those are the ones the virus-coders write viruses for . . .

8:23 pm

Nef

peri, before you panic, did you reboot your computer?

8:23 pm

periwinkle

I did rebot

8:23 pm

sciencegeek

My vote is to let the nephew disable and remove it.

8:23 pm

J. C.

It didn't damage my computer in any way though, and I was able to get rid of it just fine.

8:23 pm

sciencegeek

CLean your history also.

8:24 pm

sciencegeek

They tend to make your computer run very slowly....

8:24 pm

J. C.

Yes, go with what sciencegeek suggested - good advice. ;)

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

I use AVG which you can down load free or pay for a bells and whistles version

8:25 pm

periwinkle

thanks for your advice. I will try not to panic

8:25 pm

periwinkle

ok, will go now

8:25 pm

J. C.

I use AntiVIR - it's from Germany, and it's very good. Same deal as the one JMC describes . . .

8:26 pm

sciencegeek

Don't panic. Just don't click on the pop ups!

8:26 pm

periwinkle

I will never click on pop ups

8:26 pm

sciencegeek

How is everyone else tonight?

8:26 pm

J. C.

It self-updates automatically, about three times a day.

Oh no, I am terribly sorry to hear that, sciencegeek! :( How upsetting!!!

8:28 pm

sciencegeek

I am in shock. It was on America's Most Wanted this week. I did not see it. I saw the obits. 21 and 22 years old they were. AHH. They caught the shooter. It was over a drug issue

8:28 pm

J. C.

Oh my god . . . :(

THis young man owed our victim 7,000 for pot. He went to the apt and shot the boy and then shot the girl because she was in the home.

Horrible. I am so saddened. I feel so bad for the parents. I lost a child 9 years ago today and you never get over it!

8:29 pm

J. C.

Very sorry to hear that too, sciencegeek - no, of course you wouldn't ever get over it. :(

8:29 pm

oh science that is terrible too!

8:30 pm

JenMO16

the f that has only one word attached to it

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

ging I am an old fo5/20!

10:24 pm

Jacula

ginge - fo5/20 is a boring old fart that rhymes with what a bored teenager might pick out of a nostril.

10:24 pm

Nef

it's the F4/10 if you need thestats

10:25 pm

Jacula

What??? Jmc. Why?

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

10:25 pm

JenMO16

an old drum.....not getting it, can it be rephrased, please?

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

it was a birthday party of Baptists in Utah where the Mormons reign

10:25 pm

Jacula

Doesn't it, jmc?

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

two different clues jen

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

fo= I am an Old fo*** or fart

10:26 pm

Jacula

'o' sounded as in the word 'oh'.

10:27 pm

JenMO16

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

gingentleman

10:27 pm

10:27 pm

jmcnrick

nose pickings is booger in US

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

lol jac!

10:28 pm

gingentleman

age is a state of mind

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

any way the police came to the door and we thought is was because we were too loud

10:28 pm

jmcnrick

(easy to say ging when your age is hidden)

10:29 pm

Jacula

That must be why I feel 18 some days and nearer 90 during others, ginge. LOL

10:29 pm

gingentleman

loud baptists!! oh no!

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

but it was because we had beer at the party

10:29 pm

JenMO16

10:29 pm

Jacula

Oh heck, jmc!

10:29 pm

gingentleman

try to keep thinking 18 jac

10:29 pm

Jacula

Did they confiscate your booze?

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

so the little narc (complete with head band) came with the cop and we said we would stop drinking since we didn't know it was a problem

10:30 pm

DR1965

ok... so at 8:30 at night it is 80 degrees outside...

10:30 pm

Jacula

Jen - that's pretty normal for the end of a grid.

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

I wish jac they told us to pour it out!

10:30 pm

JenMO16

it just takes one word and then i find the rhyming words!

10:30 pm

DR1965

oh bummer JMC!

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

the hosts were going to do it but I said that if the narc and the police wanted it poured out they should to it themselves

10:31 pm

Jacula

DR - no need to gloat about having summer weather when we in UK have none. Mind you, what with the hot flushes (flashes) I don't need external temps to make it high summer.:(

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

I thought it was funny!

10:31 pm

DR1965

I would gladly bottle it and send it to you Jac. : )

11:14 pm

Jacula

As a former hairdresser, I totally understand. Back in the 60s they were trashing hair by bleaching it with neat peroxide and then backcombing and lacquering it, which took bicarb of soda in the washing of to remove. But then they had the same uppy style done again and wondered why their hair broke off. These days, it's all the hair-straightening and the products that go with it.

11:14 pm

torgone

Or to enroll again ..

I love really black hair on a woman and too many of them dye it blonde or worse .. *shudder* streaks ..

11:17 pm

gingentleman

eek! blonde streaks on dark hair is so-o unpleasant to behold.

11:17 pm

Jacula

Erm, I have blondish streaks now to disguise the encrouhing grey in my formerly dark brown hair.

11:17 pm

Jacula

But my dark hair had become paler.

11:18 pm

Kazozz

i have many different colored streaks in mine :)

11:18 pm

gingentleman

i was thinking on level 1,2, or 3

11:19 pm

Jacula

I've just given my stepdaughter a dye on top of heer dark brown/blonde streaked hair. It was Grand Canyon Red. She's now kinda Sharon Osbourne a few years ago.

11:19 pm

westford

I can't get it..what do yosemite and chinese food have in common she asks herself?

11:19 pm

gingentleman

our hair cert. does tend to lighten w/ age. I was once level 3.5 and now am a 5 with too much gray

11:20 pm

Kazozz

abbreviation for normal re* plus atomic particle west?

11:20 pm

Jacula

She wanted and 'all over red colour' but I warned her that it wouldn't happen with a temorary dye (which is all she'll be allowed during the 6 week school summer hol anyway).

11:21 pm

westford

I got it. Thank you kaz and all for the help

11:21 pm

Kazozz

I have no problem with women coloring their hair but I just prefer a more natural look ..

11:22 pm

Jacula

Kazz - I was quite peed off that I gave my 'Step' the coulour I asked my hairdresser to give me about 3 years ago.

11:22 pm

westford

she will

11:23 pm

torgone

I still need the re5 words ..

11:23 pm

Jacula

Torg - mine would be dark brown with a hell of a lot of grey now. If you think that looks good in long hair, then fair play to you.

11:23 pm

gingentleman

i believe some experimentation is good for one, but ultimately think one should try to stay within one's tonal range

11:23 pm
