* grin * looking for any hints on how to handle a truculent 34 year old son.
1:28 am
grannyrose
jilli, how's flosey rheumatics, any better/
1:28 am
jillibus
absolutely no idea, granny!
1:29 am
grannyrose
no idea on son, or no idea on flosey?
1:30 am
jillibus
No idea on son -- flosey must be better -- she had a busy day in Victoria, shopping and visiting friends.
1:32 am
grannyrose
he hasn't spoken to me for nearly 3 years, i send him seasonal cards, b'day cards, have tried to phone him, no answer. his brothers are disgusted with him.
1:34 am
grannyrose
i think his brothers are being kind to me, when they say they have no idea what's going on.it's so puzzling.
1:34 am
jillibus
Oh, that's sad, granny!
1:36 am
grannyrose
unfortunately,i have to put it down to his wife, since he hasn't spoken to me since their wedding, which i might add, i wasn't invited to!!!she is really a piece of workif you know what i mean.
1:36 am
rururocks
he has made a choice then granny
1:37 am
grannyrose
it's so strange. when everyone else in the family was muttering under their breath ( she's 8 years older than he is ), i stuck up for them both.
1:38 am
rururocks
no idea what is going on with no hints from anyone?
1:39 am
jillibus
No good deed shall go unpunished!
1:39 am
grannyrose
nothing ruru, i've racked my brains. i brought up my kids to talk about anything to me,even when they were hopping mad, we still talked it out.
1:40 am
rururocks
wow.. I wish I could help you.. I don't know what to do other than to write and tell him you love them both and hope that one day they will contact you again.
1:40 am
grannyrose
oh well, i give thanks for the remaining two, they are such lovely young men, and their wives are adorable.
1:40 am
jillibus
ruru's advice sounds good.
1:41 am
rururocks
It is hard when they have cut you out completely. and you don't know why...
1:42 am
grannyrose
nothing to lose, really. okay, although it may take a while to compose it...
1:42 am
rururocks
I don't speak to my folks anymore.. but the DO know why.
1:42 am
rururocks
keep it simple granny..
1:42 am
jillibus
as you say, nothing to lose
1:42 am
grannyrose
duly noted ruru
1:43 am
rururocks
that is what would be best.
1:43 am
rururocks
I am down to five but cannot find them
1:44 am
grannyrose
on the bright side of my life, i am out of that wretched wheelchair for most of the day, and coming down off my pain meds as well, so my body likes me again
1:44 am
grannyrose

1:44 am
jillibus
oh, good news, granny!

at long last, jilli :D Missed you!
1:53 am

ohhh I like your icon. Funny, isn't it, that knowing more about something seemingly unpleasant makes you appreciate it more?
1:54 am
sprite
and LOL @ your description of the enable-maker. On the dot.
1:54 am
jillibus
Thanks for the idea, sprite, of choosing a strange pet one might not like ;)
1:55 am
sprite
:) Trying to liven it up a bit.
1:56 am
jillibus
Good suggestion! Finding 52 pets a year can get to be a chore
1:57 am
Christine
`What a pretty dog, Sprite ... obviously one of those you would NOT want to have.
1:57 am
sprite
and we don't want any chores! Not in Babble anyway. I think the whole pet issue is interesting. Why do we chose a certain pet and wouldn't think about taking another one?
1:57 am
grannyrose
any more clues needed, ruru?
1:58 am
rururocks
ta 7/48 would be my last
1:58 am

lollll Christine! I will say this: Terra was never this sugary cute. But I still don't have access to my files on the dead laptop.
1:59 am

Is she a King Charles Spaniel?

Lottie thinks she's a mastiff, and guards the house from whirling leaves, rainfall and birds that sit in the bushes.
2:07 am

then I wish you a smooth and swift journey and lovely tastes in SF.

2:08 am

can't believe I found 2 8s already all by myself. Sweet grid!
2:09 am
sprite
oh yes! Terra has this cute little growl too. He is not guarding house etc, so far, thank God, but when we play, he tries to sound like a BIG DANGEROUS dog. Soooo cute.

Scrabbler, another migraine study: http://tinyurl.com/yk223y7
5:48 am
Scrabbler
I have not started raking yet--timing this massive chore is always a challenge. I like to do it before more leaves still need to fall, yet must get it done before the snow stays. Thus I know what I need to do all weekend!
5:49 am
hurshy
we're lucky being in a condo, all we have to do is the deck, not a whole yard.
5:51 am
Scrabbler
TY, BR--fascinating stuff. I have had frequent migraines recently and do consider removing parts of my brain.
5:52 am
Scrabbler
Is Wesley 2 now?
5:52 am
hurshy
what happens if you just let the leaves stay on the grass and let the snow come?
5:52 am
hurshy
yes, he is - i'll try to put up a new icon pic today
5:55 am
Scrabbler
It is damaging to the grass to leave the leaves
5:57 am
hurshy
hmm... what if you had moss instead of grass? i hear some people are going that way both for ease of maintenance and bc it requires so much less water, thus better for the planet.
5:59 am
Scrabbler
I have moss over the shaded areas of my yard and grass in the open areas.
6:00 am
hurshy
and do you have to rake the leaves off the moss too?
6:02 am
Scrabbler
I don't know if I "have" to, but I do and it must be done gently or the moss gets lifted right off.
6:02 am
hurshy
it would be interesting to know what happens if you don't.
6:05 am
Scrabbler
I am trying to remember what has happened in the past when raking wasn't done before the snow arrived, and I don't recall the condition of the yard.

6:26 am

I just googled it
6:27 am
zoozzoom
ok, will do then
6:28 am
hurshy
how do you know if you have add-ons? would you have had to put them intentionally or could they be things that you don't realize you are using? i mean how do you know what's an "add-on" and what's just software? flash player, say.

What a day!
I phoned my slightly-dotty grandmother last night only to discover that she'd "mislaid her purse".
Me: oh ... um ... where do you remember having it last?
Her: don't know
Me: what did you have in it?
Her: don't know ... bus pass ... bank card ...
Me: what about your house key?
Her: that too
Me: oh .... shall I come down and sort it out?
So this morning there was a quick dash to Bognor Regis to cancel cards, re-order bus passes, and try and persuade Gran that she needed to get her locks changed. That last took over an hour and eventually involved getting the manager of her retirement complex involved as she simply didn't understand why she'd need to have the locks changed.
2:19 pm
jmcnrick
oh dear ata!
2:19 pm

ooph Ata, quite the day! Here's a *hug* for you.

2:21 pm

5:47 pm
stidmama
two of my favorite fellows online at the same time! IF only my Tom would play, my joy would be complete(r)...
5:47 pm
stidmama
oh poor kirsten! never had them but am assured by my friend who is a doc they are really painful.
5:47 pm
GreyWoulf
Kids are doing great -- Kristianna is eligible for the advanced education program already and we are just waiting on paperwork
5:47 pm
stidmama
I hope that is now over for her for good.
5:48 pm
stidmama
wow! I knew she was bright (since she takes after you...) good for her!

5:49 pm
stidmama
ooh. just got the other 8.
5:49 pm
jmcnrick
what's up stiddie?
5:49 pm
GreyWoulf
kidney stones are over for now -- they went in and vaporized them with a laser -- however, this is the third time in 8 years for her to get them
5:49 pm
jmcnrick
yikes grey sounds like there are diet changes in her future
5:50 pm
stidmama
yay for laser, boo for stones. can she change her diet or something to keep them gone?
5:50 pm
GreyWoulf
We'll see, jmc -- unfortunately, there isn't much left to change in her diet due to her having diabetes as well
5:50 pm
stidmama
I wanted to talk over a couple strategies to avoid what happened on Friday again. I have been thinking (dwelling on it actually) over the weekend and think I am just way out of practice in dealing with scary and difficult people.
5:51 pm
dcseain
sigh. TA7 hint, pls?
5:51 pm
jmcnrick
well no one likes th4
5:51 pm
jmcnrick
beige color + poison ***
5:52 pm
stidmama
"dart" doesn't work...
5:52 pm
stidmama
pill doesn't work...
5:52 pm
jmcnrick
one way to avoid dealing with a**h**** is to have a reputation th4 you don't put up with it
5:52 pm
stidmama
poison sugar? rat poison? arsenic!
5:52 pm
jmcnrick
think plant
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
at night when you're sleeping poison *** comes a creeping around
5:53 pm
GreyWoulf
what happened on Friday, stid?
5:53 pm
stidmama
and how do I develop a reputation like that when I am not coming from a position of any authority?
5:53 pm
stidmama
my sense is that he was partly reacting to my uppitiness as a woman...
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
you don't need a position of authority to have th4 reputation
5:54 pm
jmcnrick
well part of the way to deal with guys like that is to laugh them down (and i would think you would be good at th4)
5:54 pm
stidmama
oh woulf I had an unfortunate interaction with a classmate who was in the small group I was working in. He got angry over something so unexpectedly that I really didn't know what to do.
5:54 pm
dcseain
oy, th4 was covuluted. ty, jmc
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
what my clue?
5:55 pm
stidmama
I tried to make it into a joke when reason wasn't working, that escalated it. I was glad to be on the other side of the large table...
5:55 pm
mkg
anyone have ci 7? i thought i had it.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
what did you say?
5:55 pm
stidmama
hey mkg, I need that one too.
5:56 pm
jmcnrick
ci+ sistern and bre*****
5:56 pm
mkg
hi stid. hi all
5:56 pm
GreyWoulf
I hate when that happens -- I am bad in those situations myself... I tend to shut down and get very quiet as a result
5:56 pm
stidmama
oh, I am afraid I actually called him a term of endearment, since he was treating me the way archie bunker treated people
5:56 pm
stidmama
hm. that's got to be related to a zither, methinks! thanks again jmc
5:56 pm
stidmama
yes woulf, and so I gathered all my stuff and left for the day. I was completely unnerved.
5:56 pm
jmcnrick
apparently it is a musical instrument
5:57 pm
dcseain
yes, one from the 16th century
5:57 pm
stidmama
have you played one seain?
5:57 pm
jmcnrick
well endearments are generally fighting words to macho men
5:57 pm
stidmama
wow. I am suddenly down to 40.
5:57 pm
GreyWoulf
Ah, phooey!! I thought I had more time to chat :\
Dinner time -- I will be back later
5:57 pm
jmcnrick
youneed to use dryer humor
5:58 pm
stidmama
this is something I didn't know, jmc. I am sure there are some cultural differences between us.
5:58 pm
mkg
cithern???doesnt exist it says.
5:58 pm
stidmama
(((((WOULF)))))) please keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.
5:58 pm
stidmama
I need to be back in class at 11 am Tuesday.
5:58 pm
jmcnrick
bye grey hb
5:58 pm
stidmama
reverse two letters, mkg
5:58 pm
mkg
oh got it ty.
5:58 pm
jmcnrick
flip two of your letters
5:59 pm
mkg
need en 5 10 please.
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
person who stops something
5:59 pm
stidmama
dryer humor will I think be over his head. So I am thinking I need to avoid humor altogether?
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
no sorry that was the 5/12
6:00 pm
stidmama
the en 5/10 is en + spanish word for "auntie"
6:00 pm
kje
4 words, one tile gray... off to a fine start ; )
6:00 pm
jmcnrick
no because part of what you want is the other people on your side to the extent they verbalize it
6:00 pm
mkg
ty got it. need first en 6 also. didnt see that. please.
6:00 pm
jmcnrick
go kje go
6:00 pm
kje
and thanks stid for #5
6:01 pm
stidmama
hm. *considers how to use humor*
6:01 pm
stidmama
okay... so maybe I need to get more practice thinking like that.
6:01 pm
jmcnrick
so first look him straight in the eye, pause so there is a moment of silence and everyone gives you attention
6:01 pm
stidmama
I suppose it's got to be more subtle than the perennial 3rd grade favorite: Why don't monsters eat clowns...
6:02 pm
stidmama
brb phone
6:02 pm
jmcnrick
then make a mildly demeaning remark and then IMMEDIATELY change the subject
6:02 pm
mkg
sorry for the word.
6:02 pm
jmcnrick
why don't monsters eat clowns?
6:02 pm
mkg
anyone have he 6 21?
6:02 pm
stidmama
okay, the immediately change subject bit I get.
6:03 pm
jmcnrick
he=not him+dine
6:03 pm
stidmama
How do you maintain your "cool" when you deal with insulting people jmc? I know you said something about it Friday, but I was pretty upset and didn't fully internalize it. It's a quaker term
6:03 pm
jmcnrick
without missing a beat so that he doesn't have time to reply
6:04 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm i don't remember what i said
6:04 pm
stidmama
I may not be clever enough to do the rapid-response things.
6:04 pm
mkg
ty for he word. got it.
6:04 pm
mkg
anyone have en 6 plZ
6:04 pm
jmcnrick
but what i try to do to the extent i can is speak to the best part of a person--so if he says something i can agree with i respond to it and move on to another topic
6:05 pm
jmcnrick
sorry mkg
6:05 pm
jessmom
en+overhead storage place minus t
6:05 pm
stidmama
yes, that makes sense. The focus on the good.
6:05 pm
stidmama
hello jessmom
6:05 pm
jmcnrick
if he says something just crazy i go quiet for a moment, look him in the eye, and depending on how crazy move one
6:06 pm
jmcnrick
the reall trick is the moving on part
6:06 pm
jmcnrick
leave the sh*t behind as quickly as possible
6:06 pm
mkg
need na 5 please.
6:06 pm
stidmama
yes, moving on is the part I missed. except for physically moving out of the room,
6:07 pm
jmcnrick
water sprite mkg
6:07 pm
jmcnrick
no if you move out of the room you have validated his stupidity
6:07 pm
mkg
like nymph? hhhmmmm
6:08 pm
jmcnrick
if you pause meaningfully looking at him like he lost his last mind then whether you say something or not .. .. .you take control of the situation
6:08 pm
stidmama
yes, yielding the field of battle was clearly a tactical error. It also meant the other two members of the group had to do the cleanup.
6:08 pm
jmcnrick
google it mkg
6:09 pm
jmcnrick
think of it this way -- what grade are you thinking of teaching?
6:09 pm
stidmama
adolescents. middle-school. hormone-driven insult machines.
6:09 pm
jmcnrick
how would you tell one of those kids to deal with a bully?
6:09 pm
jmcnrick
if they are confrontational it only escalates
6:10 pm
stidmama
I would say to ignore if possible, if not possible get an adult.
6:10 pm
stidmama
yes, the confrontation is generally a mistake.
6:10 pm
jmcnrick
if they fold it only drives the bully into continuing because he won
6:10 pm
jmcnrick
better than ignore is standing up
6:10 pm
stidmama
but standing up quietly...
6:10 pm
jmcnrick
(but yes getting an adult is good too)
6:11 pm
mkg
8 to go and so stuck............need ta 5 first one please.
6:11 pm
dcseain
ta5 approval
6:11 pm
stidmama
go mkg go!
6:11 pm
jmcnrick
ta5=without saying
6:12 pm
stidmama
I wish I had thought of all these things then. (((jmc))) thanks for the advice. I feel better about tomorrow now. and I will go speak with one of the "adults" (one of our faculty members) tomorrow morning.
6:12 pm
stidmama
go jmc go!
6:12 pm
stidmama
oops. 23 for me.
6:12 pm
stidmama

(thought you were referring to finishing the grid)
9:11 pm
hurshy
the NYT crossword puzzles can be done online each day and they list the 10 first finishers, the 10 fastest finishers, and the 10 most recent. well, obviously the 10 most recent is fleeting, and the 10 fastest is VERY hard bc some people either cheat or are just freakin' good, so i figured my best shot at achieving something was the first 10 list. i have been trying for ages to start right on time with the new puzzles, esp early in the week when they are less difficult, to no avail. but tonight, i did it! i'm the ninth finisher and there i will sit for 24 hours!
9:11 pm
Bugsaw
come on Hurshy
9:11 pm

VERY WELL DONE, hurshy!!!

10:39 pm

My son needed a carrol to sit at (if I am spelling that correctly) at that age to help him ignore distractions.
10:41 pm
DR1965
His teacher is really good. Very patient which helps
10:41 pm
Pinikula
sorry to hear bugs...but if it helped...well...
10:42 pm
Bugsaw
Another son wouldl pick up his desk and put it in the cloak room so he could concentrate better when it was important to get stuff done.
10:42 pm
Pinikula
glad his teacher is proactive
10:42 pm
Pinikula
wow...that's initiative, bugs!
10:43 pm
Bugsaw
That son is smart but waits until the last possible minute to do anything. The one that needed the carrol told me he felt safer there
10:43 pm
DR1965
my brothers were both smarter than I but I had the initiative
10:44 pm
Pinikula
gosh, bugs...kids do the darndest things when it comes to helping themselves...such creative minds ;)
10:44 pm
Bugsaw
so true, pini. Sometimes we just have to offer them ideas and let them find the one that suits them.
10:45 pm
DR1965
I am learning that very point right now
10:45 pm
Bugsaw
No kid likes to be nagged or singled out for being a goof.
10:45 pm
Pinikula
...and allow them to do the things as long as they don't interfer with others.
