I would hardly describe target as upscale! it is not at all - they have really good prices on things. and I would huffily add that if their prices are a bit higher than walmart, it's only because they fairly compensate their staff and provides benefits....

Morning all. The biggest differenct between Target and Walmart is that the employees are treated better. They have health care, pension plans, acceptable hourly wages, etc. (we live a mile from one; and once you get used to it you won't view it as a black hole anymore)
7:44 am

well, I refuse to shop at walmart, so I suppose we cancel each other out. :)

He continues to make progress that astounds most everyone. he certainly has a will to get out of the icu, that is evident! he was having such a hard time of communicating that he was fitted with a talking trach on saturday afternoon. havent seen it in action yet, but I am praying for the nurses now. he is the absolute epitome of doctors making the worst patients

ohhhhhh, sounds less fun than a paper about bogs lol
11:25 am

I don't know, if it's about peat bogs in Northern Ireland, it's bound to be fascinating.
11:25 am

Thanks Jacq. I can't believe I didn't see that.

We tend to call the bogs, especially where turf is cut, 'mosses', not sure why.
11:29 am

11:29 am
Haz1558

We don't have pe4 bogs as such but there are some big ones on the outskirts on the way to the north.
11:30 am

do you all still go out and cut pe4 each morning for fuel?
11:30 am
LuvWordGames

thanks jacq, I was all around that!
11:30 am

11:30 am
Haz1558

Not all of us, but there are some who still use turf as fuel, It smells wonderful.
11:30 am
Atalante

mosses - same as in the Peak District. Featherbed Moss etc
11:31 am
Haz1558

People will tend to rent a piece of the moss which they use for cutting, but the turf has to be dried out for quite a while before it's ready to burn.
11:32 am
Atalante

I didn't realise that there was so much mechanical chopping of turf
11:32 am
Atalante

ha! I had an evil boyfriend whose surname was Moss. that means his name really was Bog
11:32 am

My grandfather could cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner's bog.
Once I carried him milk in a bottle
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, digging down and down
For the good turf. Digging.

The cold smell of potato mold, the squelch and slap
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I've no spade to follow men like them.

nice poem, nice bit of social history
11:36 am
Haz1558

Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; as snug as a gun.

Under my window a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging. I look down

Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging.

The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep
To scatter new potatoes that we picked
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.

By God, the old man could handle a spade,
Just like his old man.

My grandfather could cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner's bog.
Once I carried him milk in a bottle
Corked sloppily with paper. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, digging down and down
For the good turf. Digging.

The cold smell of potato mold, the squelch and slap
Of soggy peat, the curt cuts of an edge
Through living roots awaken in my head.
But I've no spade to follow men like them.

Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests.
I'll dig with it.

1:18 pm
Lizsark

I just wrote a thing for the local paper about Peru and the charity - bit of a plug for further fundraising
1:19 pm
Atalante

I definitely will. I've decided that I can't wait already
1:19 pm
Atalante

will that be online?
1:20 pm
Lizsark

I don't know but I'll probably copy it onto notes on fb for the others to read anyway
1:20 pm
Atalante

coool :)
1:21 pm

I just looked. They have a website but only for info about the paper - not actual articles

1:24 pm
Atalante

do DftD take the amount on 11th out of the keep giving pages? what happens if someone sponsors me now - could that go to Nepal?
1:25 pm
Lizsark

anyway I have to go - Sam wants to play cards
1:25 pm
Atalante

hi Sam!
1:25 pm
Lizsark

Um sorry I'm not sure how you mean
1:26 pm
Lizsark

Sam says hi, hows Hobbit
1:26 pm
Atalante

I mean - do DftD just take £395 for the skydive, or do they take everything we got sponsored for? If that makes better sense!
1:26 pm
Lizsark

he has his priorities!!
1:26 pm
Atalante

Hobbit is fine, she rolled on a very large dead fish this morning and was very pleased with herself
1:26 pm
Lizsark

Acadia is nice, but there are also beautiful spots on Penobscot Bay that are a little easier to deal with
2:31 pm
dcseain

I used to walk along the bay in South Portland
2:31 pm
nrkii

once you approach or cross onto Mt. Desert Island, traffic is horrendous
2:32 pm

I'd consider moving to Portland, if I could figure out how to move my house, my neighbors and my town there, and then get a job
2:32 pm
dcseain

i'm used to traffic
2:32 pm
nrkii

yeah, but traffic + vacation is just wrong
2:33 pm
dcseain

we plan our vacations, if driving, to avoid most of rush hour, which reduces traffic unless travelling through Deleware
2:33 pm
dcseain

95 in Delaware isa nightmare
2:34 pm
nrkii

yeah it's not really a rush hour issue, it's a TOO MANY tourists no matter what time of day issue
2:34 pm

ive generraly have the same rubber for the first 5 years of a new car
2:53 pm

yes, that seems about right to me
2:53 pm
crosshair

i buy top end all season,and they are just coming up to 5 years,have put air in once lol
2:54 pm
dcseain

high-end tires are worth the money, IMHO
2:55 pm
crosshair

very much so..in around the 150 per tire range
2:55 pm
dcseain

a tad cheaper here, but yes :)
2:55 pm
dcseain

price diff is VAT vs sales tax, i think
2:55 pm
crosshair

and old tire disposal fees etc
2:56 pm
crosshair

starting in march we are going to a harmonized sales tax..god help us all;/
2:56 pm
dcseain

tire disposal has gone down where i live, as many are ground into asphalt now
2:56 pm
dcseain

a harmonized sales tax?
2:57 pm
crosshair

we have one piece of road93 miles long) they used 2500 tires for it! great idea
2:57 pm
lynxxx

that sounds pleasant anyway
2:57 pm
crosshair

hst= all rolled in with the price,right now we use goods and service tax and and personal sales tax equaling 14%
2:58 pm
dcseain

i was just reading. Atlantic provinces have 15% harmonized it seems.
2:58 pm
dcseain

they've been playing with a GST/VAT instead of income tax here. Pigs will fly, i'm betting.
2:59 pm
crosshair

problem is hst will tax things that never had tax before,or if it did,noe tax only and not the other..for example gasoline right now only has gst on it of 6%..with hst it will have 15 5 tax or more;(
3:00 pm
crosshair

15%
3:00 pm
crosshair

so gas will end up around $1.15 per lire
3:01 pm
crosshair

sitting around a dollar atm
3:01 pm
lynxxx

we dropped sales tax etc in favour of GST quite a few years ago, we are all used to it now. Still have personal
3:01 pm
dcseain

state i live in all goods except prescription and non-prescription drugs are taxed.
3:01 pm
lynxxx

personal income tax that is
3:01 pm
crosshair

interesting,but this is gonna hurt
3:02 pm
crosshair

things that were not taxed b4,like baby food and diapers and milk will all be taxed uniformly
3:04 pm
lynxxx

You do get used to it, in fact I don't even think about it anymore. Especially as I don't do bookkeeping anymore - and have to do GST returns etc
3:05 pm
dcseain

we are paying about 0.63-0.65/liter here in this part of Virginia for the cheap gas at the moment.
3:05 pm
crosshair

though this years taters are in!!:)) $1.50 for a 10 pound bag of the best spuds ive seen allyear;))
3:05 pm
crosshair

lol we only dream of 60 cents per lit
3:05 pm
lynxxx

cheap!! we pay between $1.10 & $1.30 per litre
3:05 pm
crosshair

yes,hst will be easier for doing the books
3:06 pm
dcseain

well, it's 2.49-2.59/gallon. So still $1 more per gallon than 3 years ago, if $1/gallon less than last year.
3:06 pm
crosshair

we will be in your price area by march next year lynxx

dcseain

friend here says company covers canopy, and all pump parts. He has responsibility for building and grounds only. He's with Shell.
3:22 pm
crosshair

he is lucky
3:22 pm
crosshair

if you dont have a good c-store here,you wont make it with just gas
3:24 pm
crosshair

so you play a risk,you load in the smokes,sell them for 15 margin as a loss leader to get the cars in and hope you dont get held up

3:37 pm

3:38 pm
dcseain

here, $5 /pack MAX, most about 3.5, and a carton is 28-35
3:38 pm
crosshair

in the mid 90,s a order of cigs would commonly top 30 grand
3:38 pm
dcseain

in DC and MD 5-7/pack and 50ish per carton
3:38 pm
crosshair

700 cartons or so
3:39 pm

3:40 pm

thats our govt,s intent as well lynxx
3:40 pm
jmcnrick

they are still too much of a cash crop here for that
3:40 pm
dcseain

hi, jmc, Mama Ayesha's it is. Wolud you be so kind as to handle reservations? We're look at approximately 10
3:41 pm
lynxxx

3:41 pm

3:49 pm
jmcnrick

I was sure we nailed it down as dinner but let me know so I can arrange my other engagement for that day
3:50 pm
dcseain

i may be confused as to timing, and i'm flexible :)
3:50 pm
jmcnrick

I wish I were flexible.
3:50 pm
jmcnrick

I am flexible in principle just not in reality!
3:50 pm
dcseain

So why can't you have a tr**ful of figs?
3:56 pm
dcseain

tr4 full of :P
3:57 pm
dcseain

though good question
3:57 pm
torgone

If you're carrying them, you can have an ar6/33 ..
3:58 pm
dcseain

true
4:02 pm
dcseain

apparently our ancestors did not compoind tr4 and full as it's not a terribly useful unit of measure. An ar6 is only of some use, as quantity and volume vary by product and individual
4:05 pm
torgone

Yeah, I know ...

72 Temple Owl

4:57 pm
Dorens

i always wondered about our pediatricians (husband/wife combo). never seemed to get sick themselves, i figure they got exposed to everything during residency
4:59 pm
Scrabbler

We all got sick during our pediatric rotation as med students as it was Feb + March. And during residency many of us got ill. When we would get gastroenteritis we would give each other IV fluids so we could keep working and not get dehydrated
5:01 pm
Dorens

a dedicated bunch, you pediatricians!

Was he having issues with GI stasis? I use the Oxbow Bunny Basics T --high fiber, low calcium. Recommended amt = 1/8 cup per 4 lbs I think. Read www.rabbit.org. And Dana Krempels web site too--google her.
5:05 pm

(hi everyone .. listening to stid's dilemma)
7:11 pm
stidmama

first step, solo elephant separates from herd at timepoint A and once startles runs at 25 mph to reach herd.
7:11 pm
jmcnrick

(hi welki)
7:11 pm
Bugsaw

listening too
7:11 pm
mkg

anyone got that word, te 6 18??????????would love a clue. sorry stid
7:11 pm
stidmama

second step, herd is moving the whole time at 10 mph. so when first elephant starts to run they are still moving...
7:12 pm
jmcnrick

moving away or towards?
7:12 pm
dcseain

te6 - te5 cloth, change last letter to he, she, **
7:12 pm
mkg

ty ty
7:12 pm
stidmama

(forgot to say it takes elephant 5 minutes to reach herd) still second step, need to know how far the herd moved in that 5 minutes.
7:13 pm
stidmama

So far, the kid is with me, though panicking periodically throughout.
7:13 pm
jmcnrick

ok
7:13 pm
stidmama

good ? jmc, herd is moving away.
7:13 pm
dcseain

ok, with you, stid

can i buy a vowel, please?????????????
7:13 pm

ok got it
7:13 pm
Bugsaw

away from the bakery or the zoo, jmc
7:13 pm
jmcnrick

(omg 11th inning)
7:14 pm
stidmama

so after figuring out how far the elephant went in five minutes, and how far the herd went in five minutes, you subtract herd's distance from elephant's distance to know how far the herd had gone WHEN the elephant first spooked.
7:14 pm
jmcnrick

ok
7:14 pm
dcseain

right, stid
7:14 pm
stidmama

the missing piece was that last subtraction bit. And the fact that this required more than one step. And the fact that stidkid thought a picture wasn't necessary...
7:14 pm
stidmama

when
i
7:14 pm
dcseain

okay
7:15 pm
stidmama

when I diagrammed it for him, and talked him down from the ceiling and he looked at it, he understood where I ended up, but didn't know how I knew what to do.
7:15 pm
jmcnrick

'k'
7:15 pm
torgone

5/6 of a mile
7:15 pm
stidmama

and I am not sure how to explain to him that I had to draw a picture in my head before I could understand what to do.
7:15 pm
Bugsaw

kids always look like that at old pleople who can think...
7:16 pm
jmcnrick

(giggle torg sshhhhhh)
7:16 pm
stidmama

1.25 miles, I think tor...
7:16 pm
stidmama

LOL thanks Bugs! *checking for new gray hairs*
7:16 pm
Bugsaw

So what is your question realy, stid?
7:16 pm
dcseain

that sounds like a normal toonage reaction to what happened.
7:16 pm
dcseain

teenage rather
7:16 pm
jmcnrick

what bug says--your problem?
7:17 pm
stidmama

elephant went 2.083 miles in 5 minutes, herd went .83 miles in 5 minutes.
7:17 pm
welki

linear equations are easier to puzzle out if you draw the problem ... stid2 is a boy or girl?
7:17 pm
stidmama

LOL "toonage" is PERFECT! it's what he likes to watch on tv!
7:17 pm
jmcnrick

now I think it was a legit and insightful question for the stidkid myself --- how did you know what to do?
7:17 pm
stidmama

the problem is, is this me not connecting at a mom level, or me not connecting at a teacher level?
7:17 pm
Bugsaw

you mean you want to know if your answer is right to the problem or if drawing it was a problem.
7:17 pm
stidmama

stidkids are BOTH boys.
7:18 pm
jmcnrick

and your answer was great --- i drew a picture in my head first --gives him a model to follow in the future
7:18 pm
welki

hehe .. you'd think they'd want the visuals, then *lol*
7:18 pm
stidmama

I know the answer is correct, and that my approach is appropriate. I just don't know how I might have explained it differently.
7:18 pm
jmcnrick

i think your explanation was great
7:18 pm
dcseain

you were more instructor in role, if mom in person. As for how explained, breaking it up as you did here seems appropriate
7:18 pm
dcseain

it's basically a logic puzzle with a math compnent
7:18 pm
jmcnrick

you connected your model with the correct solution
7:19 pm
Bugsaw

In my opinion, you taught him well by getting him down from the ceiling first, and then showing alternate ways to get to the same ending. I would have done what you did too because I am a visual learner.
7:19 pm
dcseain

yes, what jmc said
7:19 pm
stidmama

I suspect he just needs more time to manipulate puzzles like this in a less stress-inducing situation.
7:19 pm
welki

me, i would have looked at him and said, "THIS is why you need to learn algebra ... to help your kids"
7:19 pm
Bugsaw

If stidkid #2 is one too, you just taught him a new strategy
7:19 pm
dcseain

LOL welki
7:19 pm
jmcnrick

i often draw a sketch for my math problems
7:19 pm
stidmama

Thanks all -- I knew the wisdom of the chog would give me some good insights.
7:20 pm
stidmama

rofl at welki, and very grateful for Bugs' articulation of my approach.
7:20 pm

stid is very often in instructor mode with her kids -- I've seen her in action.
7:20 pm

jmc, you've "been there" with your son -- should I just let this one simmer on his back burner for a while?
7:20 pm
jillibus

Hi all :)
7:20 pm
stidmama

JILL!!!!! ((((happy happy hugs))))
7:20 pm
Bugsaw

On the other hand, if he still didn't get it, he could be a kinetic learner and he would have got it if you both walked like elephants and used his whole body to grasp it.
7:21 pm
stidmama

my poor kids are NEVER "out of school!"
7:21 pm
jmcnrick

I would. he needs to think it through on his own -- but offer to go through it again if he wants
7:21 pm
stidmama

that's a good point, bugs! I bet that would have helped!
7:21 pm
jmcnrick

hi jill
7:21 pm
jillibus

bugs knows whereof she speaks.
7:21 pm
dcseain

hi, jill
7:21 pm
Bugsaw

bet they are both pretty smart tho stid. Mine always suprised people by odd things they knew
7:22 pm
stidmama

I did actually have him use an eraser as an elephant... while my eraser was the herd. That sort of connected for him. *considers whole-body learning for next time*
7:22 pm
jmcnrick

good idea
7:22 pm
jillibus

I have to go in a few minutes -- bridge night -- but just wanted to drop in and see you all :)
7:22 pm
dcseain

hope it goes well for you, jilli.
7:22 pm
stidmama

of course, as their mother I like to think they are BRILLIANT! but this one's confidence in math was seriously shaken by a bad experience in 6th grade and he hasn't regained his interest since.
7:22 pm
Bugsaw

Kids who need to use their whole bodies are often into sports. Is he?
7:22 pm

I've been a math-phobe because of skipping early grades and never really getting the picture (visual learner here too)
7:24 pm
jmcnrick

bye stiddie and dc
7:25 pm
welki

that happened with me, too, jilli. it was only after i returned to school as an adult and was lucky to have a WONDERFUL math professor that i learned to enjoy math .. enough that i tutored for a couple of years
7:25 pm
jmcnrick

i used to get so bored in math because they kept teaching the same thing over and over that I made up personalities for the numbers and used the math to tell a story
7:25 pm
jmcnrick

all of the numbers secretly wanted to be 10
7:25 pm
jillibus

bridge for me is visual -- seeing groups of things.
7:25 pm

DR1965

help with the pe6/27 please
7:26 pm

the even numbers were generally the good guys and the odd numbers were generally the bad guys
7:27 pm
jmcnrick

pe6 who love pe6 are the luckiest pe6 in the world
7:27 pm
jmcnrick

but spell it like barbara sings it
7:27 pm
jillibus

pe6/27 can be thought of as a dumb way of saying people
7:27 pm
jillibus

great clue, jmc!
7:27 pm
Bugsaw

The early years are important for visual learners Jilli and I was lost until grade 6 when I was introduced to cuisenairre rods. They have different colours for each number and I could manipulate the colours in my mind but not the numbers!
7:27 pm
jmcnrick

I always felt sorry for 2 and 4 though
7:28 pm
DR1965

ty- was trying to figure it out since the O is note near the e
7:28 pm
Bugsaw

And I have ALWAYS preferred even numbers for the same reason jmc. Why sorry for 2 and 4"
7:28 pm
jmcnrick

well they were so ineffectual and could never get even close to being 10
7:29 pm
welki

i can see being sorry for 4, being divisible and all, but 2 is prime :)
7:29 pm
jillibus

bugs, I got a taste of those rods in early grades and enjoyed them but was boosted to the next level too fast.
7:29 pm
jmcnrick

5 was a real go getter even if for the bad guys and pretty likaeble
7:29 pm
Bugsaw

I think that is why I had to go back in grade 6, Jilli. To fill that gap.
7:30 pm
jmcnrick

lol never thought about 2 being prime -- that puts his position in a new light!
7:30 pm
jillibus

I should have said in an early grade. This was a Brit school and I must have been about 7 years old.
7:30 pm
Bugsaw

Multiples of 5 are okay because I could recite them quickly and thot of them as cowboys on horses galloping to the rescue.
7:30 pm
jillibus

With all that skipping, I ended up about 2 years younger than the rest of my class.
7:31 pm
jmcnrick

multiples of 9 were always interesting to me because they always added up to 9
7:31 pm
welki

same with me, jilli .. graduated high school at 16. both good and bad
7:31 pm
jillibus

oh yes, I enjoyed that 9 business, jmc, and the 11s
7:32 pm
Bugsaw

Only once for me but it was hard enough at puberty and when everyone else got their drivers licenses at 16. Tough times then
7:32 pm
jmcnrick

and I liked that adding 8 to a number meant it was the next two down such as 4+8 = 12 or 2 down from 4
7:33 pm
jillibus

welki, I was only 15. Graduation from my HS in NY was then twice a year and my grad was in January, 16th borthday in May.
7:33 pm
jmcnrick

my mother and my second sister graduated hs at 16
7:34 pm

Hi Stid- we are hanging in. His grades are good but he has the attitude
10:49 pm

if only it were so easy to hide from them kje!

Hi KJe !

10:50 pm
DR1965

I am glad he has a male teacher this year
10:50 pm
stidmama

oh the attitude! *shudder* not sure why I am going to teach middle school, except that I know many of them are fine at school and let their parents have the full treatment
10:50 pm
stidmama

and when the kids ARE coping well, they're lovely.
10:50 pm
stidmama

sweet dreams kje
10:50 pm
stidmama

yes, our children have some good male role models at their schools. I think we got lucky.
10:50 pm
DR1965

yes- he is not always nuts..just sometimes
10:51 pm
DR1965

The teacher is very calm but stern
10:51 pm
stidmama

calm is good -- stern could go either way.
10:51 pm
DR1965

HE emailed me because Jacob was behind in his reading for book discussion
10:51 pm
stidmama

ah -- nice to have communication!
10:52 pm
DR1965

Jake said it was because th ekid in the book was teachinga 4 yr old th e"F" word andhe did not like that--- the whole RULES thing
10:52 pm
stidmama

I have spoken to most of our younger child's teachers this year and reminded them to tell me the minute he starts to struggle. Because I am in school I might not notice otherwise.
10:53 pm
DR1965

Good thing to do Stid!
10:53 pm
stidmama

I can understand his reaction. And I personally wish there were books available to younger teens that didn't use such language.
10:53 pm
DR1965

This teacher posts grades and emails- I love it
10:53 pm
stidmama

The elder child doesn't want my interference so I decided to step back completely this year. He isn't sure he likes that either...
10:53 pm
DR1965

The book is called " Surviving the Applewhites"
10:54 pm
stidmama

hm. I'll have to look that one up.
10:54 pm
DR1965

It is a learning experience for all Stid_ just tell them they did not come with instruction books
10:54 pm
DR1965

I think the author is Stephanie Tolan
10:54 pm
Atalante

when my best friend's book is picked up by a good publishing house (we're nearly there) and published, that will be a nice book teen book with NO swearing :)
10:55 pm
DR1965

let us know when that is Ata!
10:55 pm
stidmama

yes, that's the author. She has a good rep as a teen author.
10:55 pm
stidmama

what DR said!
10:55 pm
Atalante

soon hopefully! several publishing houses are interested, at least
10:56 pm
DR1965

I figured she did as I have heard of her other books
10:56 pm
DR1965

I am reading a kids book called " The title of this book is Secret"
10:57 pm
stidmama

on the other hand, I know that for older teens at least it's important to have the language in the book reflect their own lives... It's a tough choice to make: model only the language they need for academics, or acknowledge that their lives as they live them also have value; no matter what, someone is going to disagree with some of your choices.
10:57 pm
DR1965

by psuedononymous Bosch
10:57 pm
stidmama

I have heard of that one DR!
10:57 pm
DR1965

It is hilarious ... laughing out loud!
10:59 pm
DR1965

Yes Stid- I told Jacob that he knows what is ok and not ok in our home and that reading it for class is ok as long as he is not saying it!
10:59 pm
stidmama

The one I really liked this summer was quite new: "The Graveyard Book" for younger teens and older elementary. Only slightly gruesome, and I think all but very fundamentalist people would enjoy it. Just enough macabre and scary and gross to be truly interesting.
10:59 pm
stidmama

That would be my approach as well, DR
11:00 pm
stidmama

I could see it as a Tim Burton film, to be honest.
11:00 pm
DR1965

I will look for that one Stid. He is into the whole vampire thing right now ... when not reading Percy Jackson
11:00 pm
stidmama

neil gaiman is the author
11:01 pm
DR1965
