1:32 am

jillibus

ours are in KILometres

1:33 am

dcseain

in a couple of bordering states, driving the speed limit or slower is ticketable for obstructing traffic, which means at this point it's a speed minimum there

would that this nation would finally switch, jilli

1:33 am

rururocks

amen to that dc.

jillibus

but it's faster

1:34 am

warthog

oh my god jilli that is so cool... thanks dcsean... i

1:34 am

dcseain

What pains my ears is nasal speech, and lately the young girls who croak wearily

1:41 am

dcseain

we were both surprised that no one in Oregon nor Washington commented on how we talked. In New York and Massachusetts i've at times had to resort to point and gesturing because they could not understand me.

1:41 am

rururocks

(agree with that)

1:42 am

dcseain

yes, jilli

1:42 am

rururocks

I couldn't follow a teenager's conversation the other day.. too many it's like and uh. uh .uh.

1:43 am

dcseain

my cousin - he's 14 - communicates clearly, except to his parents

1:43 am

rururocks

well that is a given isn't it DC

1:44 am

rururocks

think I am going to race jilli to bed...

1:44 am

rururocks

think I am going to race jilli to bed...

1:44 am

dcseain

that's what i keep trying to tell my aunt, who just rolls her eyes and sighs LOL

1:44 am

dcseain

rest well, ruru

1:45 am

rururocks

night you guys... be good..

1:45 am

jillibus

you'll probably win, ruru -- I have dishes to do.

1:45 am

jillibus

Night ruru, and same to you

1:46 am

rururocks

1:46 am

rururocks

1:47 am

jillibus

my writer-grandson (working on his MA) makes great written sentences, but when talking every second word is "like"

1:47 am

jillibus

ruru -- dare I ask if you've cracked Merle's Door yet?

1:48 am

dcseain

i'm not surprised, jili. we were taught that speech and writing are separate, except when either writing in dialect or speaking formally.

1:48 am

jillibus

I find writing much easier than talking

1:49 am

jillibus

there's time to think

1:49 am

dcseain

i'm comfy either way. but i've worked phone and email tech support for so many years, i've had a lot of practice

1:50 am

jillibus

anyway, I must hie me bedwards (post-kitchen)

1:50 am

8:50 am

jmcnrick

8:50 am

Scrabbler

8:51 am

Scrabbler

TY, ruf

8:52 am

jmcnrick

so i am typing on a brand spanking new laptop

8:52 am

jmcnrick

(complete with the letter Q)

8:52 am

jmcnrick

but the reason is is a bummer -- my house was burgled while I was home thursday night

8:53 am

rufiem

hi scrabbler n jm

8:53 am

rufiem

thats scary jm...

8:53 am

crosshair

and im told that even once you get the shot,it takes 10-15 days to do its thing,so all theese late flu shot clinics wont be worth a damn,i cant even get my kid a sho till wed,but since he has been barking and had a fever on and off for 4 days now it wont do him any good anyways:(

8:53 am

welki

*sigh* of all the people to pick ... if they'd had just asked

8:53 am

jmcnrick

it was -- i still haven't slept all night

8:53 am

welki

you're okay, though ... what else did they take

8:54 am

jmcnrick

what welki?

8:54 am

jmcnrick

my purse (since found in an alley) and my camera

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, JM!!

8:54 am

crosshair

sorry to hear that jmc;((

8:54 am

welki

you're a good soul, je .. if a person needed something, all they'd have to do is ask, not break in and rob you (is what i meant)

8:55 am

jmcnrick

o i c welki -- yes i do tend to try and help people

8:55 am

jmcnrick

it doesn't help that it looks like my mother will die in the next few weeks if not days

8:55 am

jmcnrick

i am feeling a bit stresssssssssseddd

8:56 am

rufiem

awful, jm...as welki says, at least u r ok...were you asleep? more than losing things, its the invasive nature that is bothersome

8:56 am

Gail

That is horrible stress. My house was broken into twice while I was home. Once at night and once at 8 in the morning,

8:56 am

rufiem

awful indeed...

8:56 am

welki

a bit stressed? sounds more like an avalanche of stress :(

8:56 am

crosshair

sorry bout all that jmc,seems a tough period for all

8:56 am

Scrabbler

((Je)) Too much to handle

8:56 am

jmcnrick

i have had my house burgled when i wasn't there and it didn't bother me -- this was different in that I was upstairs

8:57 am

rufiem

yeah, thats what i mean...

8:57 am

jmcnrick

poor gail -- how did you get to where you could sleep at night again?

8:57 am

welki

gail, your dog .. a border collie? with blue eyes? (i have a smooth coat border collie, looks a bit like your guy!)

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Scary, gail!!

8:58 am

Gail

Many years ago I woke up in the night and saw a man standing at the foot of my bed. I have never slept well since then.

8:58 am

jmcnrick

lol too bad my cat and I are not dog people

8:58 am

Gail

Yes, Quid is a border collie, got him as a rescue.

8:58 am

jmcnrick

omg gail!

8:58 am

rufiem

omg gail!

8:58 am

jmcnrick

at least they didn't come upstairs for me

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my, Gail! That would scare me forever!

8:58 am

welki

i had something similar happen .. fast asleep, i sense someone in the room, look up and there's a guy looking through the skylight. but ... he probably was scared to death by what he saw and ran away

8:59 am

Gail

It has scared me forever. I fought him off and ran out of the apartment.

8:59 am

welki

(gail, my murray is a rescue, too ... i'll put a pic up in a min)

8:59 am

jmcnrick

shudder

8:59 am

jmcnrick

omd i am so sorry gail

9:00 am

Gail

He had been stalking me for months. I knew there was somebody, and it was a neighbor.

9:00 am

crosshair

good grief,wish i had been there for you ladies..have a nice .303 hunting rifle that would of given those guys the night terrors for a year

9:00 am

jmcnrick

i dreamed last night i looked out my back door and saw the burglar -- but he was a well dressed, cute and white about 30

9:00 am

jmcnrick

omg that is a terrible story gail

9:01 am

jmcnrick

lol no thanks crossy that would just give me worse night terrors i think

9:01 am

Gail

My burglars were brothers to the girl who lived next door. The most recent burglary, that is.

9:01 am

rufiem

oh thats terrible, gail. poor you! did they catch the other guy?

9:02 am

Gail

Quid slept through both of them. The sound of glass smashing never bothered him at all. Yes, they did finally catch him when he raped another woman.

9:03 am

jmcnrick

well it may not help me sleep tonight but it does put my life in perspective

9:03 am

jmcnrick

ty gail for sharing your story

9:03 am

crosshair

nothing says get the hell out of my house quite like a large calibre coming at the trespasser/burgler at 6500 feet per second..good grief gail! you live in a big city?

9:04 am

Gail

You just feel so vulnerable, knowing that they can enter your home. I leave lights on all over now. No, I live in Vermont in a rather small city.

9:04 am

jmcnrick

there is a quaker story crossy about a burglar coming into the quaker farmer's house

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I am getting creeped out now. How will I sleep tonight?

9:04 am

Gail

The first attack was in the Chicato area.

9:04 am

Gail

chigaco

9:05 am

Gail

Chicago, hah.

9:05 am

jmcnrick

the farmer came down stairs and pointed the gun at the burglar and said. . .

9:05 am

welki

(here's murray, gail)

9:05 am

rufiem

i am shaken too, gail... your story is unnerving!

9:05 am

jmcnrick

Friend I would not harm thee for the world but thou are standing where my gun is about to go off

9:05 am

jmcnrick

i slept with lights on last night too

9:05 am

rufiem

stuff one sees in movies and reads about....

9:06 am

Gail

Oh, so adorable. Quid is my second border collie, they are wonderful dogs. He goes to work with me every day.

9:06 am

jmcnrick

9:06 am

crosshair

lol jmc,god made man..winchester made them equal

9:06 am

welki

9:07 am

jmcnrick

9:07 am

jmcnrick

9:07 am

jmcnrick

9:07 am

welki

a e i o u (and sometimes y) is the other n

9:07 am

rufiem

and a sentence should generally have one!

9:07 am

jmcnrick

ty welki

9:07 am

Gail

We have terrible drug problems in Vermont. Most robberies are looking for drugs or something to sell for drugs. There is a drug house right across the street from me.

9:07 am

crosshair

have a house down the street with a small business attached,on the fence is a sign with the picture of a german shepard and it says "i can run 300 feet in 2.5 seconds,can you?" lol

9:08 am

rufiem

that was the n clue

9:08 am

welki

where in vt, gail? when i was young, i spent some time in s. londonderry and jamaica ... would stop for coffee on the way up in brattleboro

9:08 am

Gail

My dog would only give them a hug and a kiss.

9:08 am

jmcnrick

ty i got both n words

9:08 am

rufiem

9:09 am

rufiem

gail, have you thought of getting a fierce (r) dog?

9:09 am

Gail

I live in Rutland, in the middle of the state, near Killington. I can see the top of the mountain from my house.

9:09 am

jmcnrick

9:11 am

Gail

I moved here in 1987 and drugs were in the schools. Then the wealthy people decided that they were tired of going to Montreal or New York to get their recreational drugs, so they created a new market here.

9:12 am

crosshair

9:13 am

Gail

My son lives with me now, he is a night owl and actually chased the last burglar out of the house. I leave the protection to him.

9:13 am

rufiem

me too, gail...

9:14 am

Scrabbler

It is scary when you do not feel safe + impenetrable in your own home!

9:14 am

Gail

Me, too. He is 6'5" tall and looks much meaner than he is. But he won't put up with anybody who threatens my safety.

9:15 am

crosshair

first citiot crack head who tries to come in here will be very sorry

9:15 am

Gail

I have slept with the phone in my bed for a long time,

9:17 am

can she communicate with you?

5:08 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes she can; sometimes not so much

5:10 pm

Verucasalt

someone once told me that having a baby and dying are very much alike for the surrounding people. On both occassions you are waiting for the event (sometimes a long time) and they are both filled with so much emotion.

5:11 pm

hurshy

except for the whole missing them afterwards things.

5:12 pm

Verucasalt

true hurshy, but when my grandmother finally passed after being in a home for two years and a couple strokes, feeding tube... it was a relief for me AND her - and I miss her

5:12 pm

jmcnrick

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

my mother is miserable and i only want her not to be miserable

5:13 pm

5:14 pm

hurshy

5:14 pm

Verucasalt

my grandmother was so funny - she would say "I wish I wasn't a d@#m catholic - we go to hell if we kill ourselves. She hated being in a whell chair - HATED it

5:14 pm

jmcnrick

5:15 pm

Verucasalt

5:15 pm

jmcnrick

mother's life. before her strokes she read dickens for breakfast, the newspaper, and then a couple of light reading books every day

5:16 pm

Verucasalt

wow. do you read to her?

5:16 pm

jmcnrick

it has been stressful -- there is no doubt

5:16 pm

renfield

5:29 pm

pam

Ren, don't understand the "a" clue you gave....

5:30 pm

hurshy

5:30 pm

pam

5:30 pm

hurshy

he is much more bummed about the packers loss.

5:30 pm

hurshy

5:33 pm

evanonut

5:33 pm

hurshy

*wonders if PAV had anything to say other than wanting a top A clue*

5:33 pm

renfield

arrgh - i like the bucs....and steelers

5:34 pm

hurshy

i guess the throwback uniforms helped the bucs or something

5:34 pm

evanonut

steelers play tomorrow night!

5:34 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all. Hursh, I guess your husband's recurrent vomiting is from GB stones.

5:34 pm

PAV3

still looking for that A,but now down to 5...

5:35 pm

hurshy

oooh, sc with the excellent double entendre!

5:35 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, unintended.

5:35 pm

i guess the bucs read about johnny damon always wearing his bucs game shirt

5:35 pm

5:35 pm

Scrabbler

M clues please

5:36 pm

Scrabbler

ma rrey

5:36 pm

hurshy

yes, that is how it turned out, though. they have to do an MRI to see if there is a stone in a duct that needs breaking up before they can even do the surgery. which i really really hope they will not find any reason not to do laproscopically. (sp?)

5:36 pm

Scrabbler

Well, that was a lame attempt at a M word

5:36 pm

hurshy

ma6 one who ruins or spoils

5:37 pm

hurshy

ma5 a purply-pink color

5:37 pm

PAV3

thanks sue and hursh! now to find 4

5:37 pm

Scrabbler

laparoscopically.....I had a stone in common duct and got jaundiced

5:37 pm

Scrabbler

TY for M clues

5:37 pm

hurshy

yeah they saw that his liver function was off on his blood work when he went in.

5:38 pm

PAV3

and don't forget the one who ma** (red planet)

5:38 pm

hurshy

and they suspect that there is a stone right at the entrance which gets jammed whenever the gb tries to secrete, because he was getting pain after eating.

5:38 pm

Scrabbler

Elevated liver enzymes probably---ALT + AST, if you want to inquire about those and impress the docs

5:38 pm

suefrad625

got them, ty Hursh

5:38 pm

hurshy

i didn't even see any docs while i was there!

5:39 pm

hurshy

i mean, i saw some in the cafeteria - but i didn't see any docs that were dealing with him.

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, food in stomach tells GB to squirt out bile into small intestine, but stones cause obstruction

5:40 pm

hurshy

i'm not used to this whole MRI to confirm business, though. if this were house, he'd just do the procedure to break up the stone, without bothering to check. it's faster.

5:40 pm

Scrabbler

Y clue please?

5:41 pm

8:59 pm

Uneaixoise

years ago I worked with a guy who answered the phone in his office and took off out the door -- found out later his wife had just called from the upstairs of their house -- she could hear 2 guys burgling the downstairs --apparently they didn't realize anyone was home!

9:22 pm

Jellen

Hi, Nef...I didn't think it was that bad...

9:22 pm

lbdawger

9:22 pm

jmcnrick

9:23 pm

Dorens

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

9:28 pm

hurshy

9:28 pm

lbdawger

one who lives alone on a mountain is called a he**it

9:28 pm

Jellen

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

9:28 pm

Dorens

gracias hursh

9:28 pm

Dorens

and jmc and jellen, and dawg. what a team you guys are!

9:29 pm

Jellen

Hurshy! You still around?

9:31 pm

hurshy

so, i try not to eat very much meat. when we were vacationing in england, eating out all the time, sometimes my husband would offer to give me a bite of his. i had a bite of venison, even though, you know, you feel like, aw, deer - even though you also know the populations need to be kept down. but when he offered me lamb i just couldn't.

9:31 pm

hurshy

oh, "still" or "again"... something.

9:32 pm

hurshy

what percent of the population do you think feels this way about lamb and veal?

9:32 pm

Jellen

I can't bring myself to eat mammals...

9:32 pm

lbdawger

hursh, i feel the same way. just can't eat lamb. not real fond of deer either.

9:32 pm

Dorens

24%

9:32 pm

hurshy

(this thought brought to you by the lamb carpaccio (sp?) i saw being prepared on iron chef)

9:33 pm

Jellen

If I weren't so bad about nutritional meal planning, I'd be a vegetarian.

9:33 pm

hurshy

dorens, this is why i like you. direct answers.

9:33 pm

Dorens

i have ve4/9.. could i please have stats for the other v? (just the stats, please--- dragnet)

9:33 pm

hurshy

6/27

9:33 pm

Jellen

ve 6/27

9:33 pm

Dorens

yah great hursh, but how do you like the fact that i just totally made that up? (i did give it some thought though)

9:33 pm

Dorens

ty

9:33 pm

lbdawger

ve6.27

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

i love all meat and veggies

9:34 pm

hurshy

jellen - it's not that hard if you don't get bored easily.

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

i am an equal opportunity eater

9:34 pm

Jellen

I have ADD...bored easily!

9:34 pm

hurshy

well i figured you made it up, but i like people who are willing to take a stab in the dark (but only in the metaphorical sense).

9:35 pm

lbdawger

lol jmc! i like beef, but i could go mostly veggies, hubz however would not agree

9:35 pm

Dorens

i eat little meat.. but am not totally opposed to it. And there are an awful lot of people who do NOT like the fact that i give direct answers... glad it is appreciated now and then

9:36 pm

lbdawger

i like direct answers. if i wanted hedged ones, i'd ask multiple guess questions

9:36 pm

hurshy

then that would be hard, jellen. i just tend to eat the same few things allllll the time. pasta with vegetables. bean soup. salads. breakfast - PB + banana on a potato roll.

9:36 pm

Jellen

Direct answers are often refreshing!

9:36 pm

hurshy

and cheerios.

9:37 pm

hurshy

i love cheerios.

9:37 pm

Jellen

I used to do that, but Tim likes variety...unfortunately not always healthy choices...

9:37 pm

Dorens

i do try to be nice though-- it just doesn't always work

9:37 pm

hurshy

i've never noticed you being un-nice, dorens.

9:37 pm

Jellen

The only thing I'm pretty consistent with is my morning oatmeal...

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

i can eat the same thing over and over but then I make ethiopian food from scratch

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

dorens when have you ever been un-nice!

9:38 pm

hurshy

i've not been doing as well since we went to england... sigh. stupid cholesterol.

9:38 pm

lbdawger

if you look up nice in the dictionary, you'll find Dorens listed!

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

lol lbd

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

you sure won't find me!

9:39 pm

Jellen

Cholesterol is a problem for me, too...

9:39 pm

lbdawger

now if you look under dragonlady with pms, you'll find me!

9:39 pm

Dorens

haha. i guess it is easier to be nice to babblers than real life people. glad you all think i'm nice though. i think i am, but sometimes.....

9:39 pm

hurshy

if you look up 'kind' you will find my mitty kitty. sometimes she licks me JUST BECAUSE SHE KNOWS I LIKE IT! that's pretty good for a borderline-sentient being.

9:40 pm

Dorens

ken calls me "the queen of blunt" i kind of like that

9:41 pm

Jellen

Aww...mitty kitty sounds sweet!

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

in real life lots of people are afraid of me which i have always found baffling

9:41 pm

lbdawger

but never a doubt about what you mean, dorens

9:41 pm

hurshy

between her and cinder, who just loves to lick, i pretty much constantly have cat scratch disease, which, guess what, isn't only transmitted through scratching.

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

as long as ken doesn't mean ganja when he says blunt dorens!

9:41 pm

snags

jm, no one wants to be tongue whipped if you know what I mean

9:42 pm

snags

i have a friend that speaks her mind.........

9:42 pm

snags

just dont get in her way

9:42 pm

Kova

any hints for the hu?

9:42 pm

Dorens

hah, jmc! i think he is the only person our age who never even tried it back in the 60's - 70's (and still hasn't)

9:42 pm

lbdawger

the hu7 i go the behinder i get

9:43 pm

Jellen

hu 7= the hu***** I go, the behinder I get...

9:43 pm

snags

jm, I apologize..........

9:43 pm

hurshy

and now i have to bring up anne of green gables... who, when mr. harrison told her it was just his habit to speak his mind and people musn't mind it, responded, suppose i went around poking people with pins and saying, "you mustn't mind, it's just a habit i've got"?

9:44 pm

Jellen

lbd is tuning in to my channel again!

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

ty for the apology snags i really was surprised by the remark

9:44 pm

lbdawger

Kova

9:44 pm

Dorens

lbdawger

Hursh, i thought the samething when i started. it's not that much fun. especially if you have neurotic bosses.

9:55 pm

jmcnrick

when I come to iowa i hang out with mennonites

9:55 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks got it

9:56 pm

jmcnrick

so the solution is to become independently wealthy and have your own book store

9:56 pm

Marc Freeman

I live in Iowa a community in Iowa dedicated to creating world peace.

9:56 pm

Minveryork

Hi Marc Freeman! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

9:56 pm

hurshy

bosses ARE problematic. there are some really good ones, and a lot of not so good ones. it almost makes me wish i were a boss so i could pay people generously, give them lots of time off, and treat them with respect.

9:57 pm

lbdawger

the last part is the most important, Hursh. treat people with respect.

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

really marc? I come to des moines and washington and iowa city from time to time

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

and also visit the friends school scattergood

9:57 pm

Marc Freeman

Who would ever make money if you paid them a lot, and they didn't have to work so many hours. Sounds like a recipe for bankruptcy

9:57 pm

jmcnrick

i am a boss and i wish i could pay people generously and give them lots of time off

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

i hope i treat them with respect

9:58 pm

Marc Freeman

I am one hour from Iowa City and 30 minutes from Washington, Iowa if it is the same one between me and Iowa City. What is in Washington?

9:58 pm

lbdawger

I don't mind working hard, and being paid a fair wage. but when you get minimal and treated like you're an idiot, it takes a lot of wear and tear.

9:58 pm

hurshy

well, part of it is that many people have to work a certain number of hours, instead of just having to get certain work done. if you're done with your work, you should get to go home.

9:58 pm

jmcnrick

a mennonite camp --crooked creek

9:59 pm

Marc Freeman

That is the most important thing is to treat them with respect. After that nothing else matters.

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

there is no such thing as done with my work hursh

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

there is always more work

9:59 pm

hurshy

wow, i am surprised the iron chef won that one, the judges seemed to me like they were really preferring the challenger's food.

9:59 pm

Marc Freeman

Never heard of it but next time you come let me know and I will give you a tour of the best town in Iowa. Most unique. Come the first Friday night of any month and we have Art Walk. Come when it is warm though.

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

i always seem to be invited in January when it is in the negatives

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

tell me about your peace community

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

that happens every time hursh -- i think it is rigged

10:01 pm

lbdawger

Someone in their lesser productive work hours came up with a time sheet that says we're suppose to shelve x amount of books in an hour. they didn't take in consideration: having to shift books to make the new ones fit, put books away that customers have left out of place, and keep track of which sections need to be fixed cuz of customers (or their children).

10:02 pm

Marc Freeman

Fairfield, Iowa the home of Maharishi University of Management. We have people meditating twice a day in large domes to create world peace. We also have 1000 pundits from India performing peace producing ceremonies. All very cool.

10:02 pm

hurshy

how long has this been going on, marc?

10:02 pm

lbdawger

that sounds really interesting, marc

10:03 pm

Marc Freeman

Since 1972

10:03 pm

11:09 pm

stidmama

O.M.G.

_36_ words????

*faint*

11:09 pm

Jellen

Hi, stid! It's not bad...

11:10 pm

stidmama

that's good to hear, jellen -- how are you? I love following your escapades on twitter.

11:13 pm

Jellen

I'm well...little nervous about our trip to St. Louis to see the oncologist...

11:13 pm

stidmama

(((jellen))) my heart is with you. my hope is there will be good news.

11:14 pm

Jellen

Me too!

11:15 pm

stidmama

how is tim doing?

11:16 pm

stidmama

down to 16...

11:16 pm

Jellen

He's nervous, too, I think.

11:16 pm

stidmama

I would be, I know that.

11:17 pm

Jellen

Knowledge is preferable to uncertainty in my world!

11:18 pm

stidmama

I think so too. We go see an orthopedist tomorrow, hoping he has more experience with "idiopathic" hip pain (meaning they can't find a cause). I hate not knowing WHY I hurt.

11:18 pm

stidmama

with luck, he'll be able to at least tell me it won't get worse...

11:19 pm

Jellen

I hope that is the case...

11:20 pm

stidmama

*shrug* but I had to stop thinking about it months ago because there is no point to worrying about it. I'll be a nervous wreck tomorrow though.

11:21 pm

stidmama

is the lone A at the top fishy?

11:21 pm

stidmama

oh. And I have a HUGE first draft of the term paper due this coming Friday but they only listed the expectations two days ago... *panic mode fully engaged*

11:21 pm

Jellen

No, it's not fishy.

11:21 pm

Jellen

It's au 5/12

11:22 pm

Jellen

Augh! re the term paper...

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

hootowl

11:38 pm

Jellen

Yay, stid! You're awesome!

11:39 pm

hootowl

woulf was good in school too

11:39 pm

hootowl

glad to help - congrats

11:39 pm

stidmama

oops... I saw Woulf just in passing a couple weeks ago. He mentioned she was getting nice comments on her work.

11:39 pm

stidmama

I am not surprised about Woulf -- he's rather a bright young man, isn't he?

11:40 pm

hootowl

in passing? Was he here?

11:40 pm

stidmama

thanks for all the help. I wouldn't even have started this one without Jellen to hold my hand!

11:40 pm

hootowl

And yes but not bright enough to call once in a while

11:41 pm

stidmama

that's maybe just a "guy" thing? my Tom, as lovely as he is, doesn't call his folks unless I remind him.

11:41 pm

stidmama

my boys are the same way.

11:41 pm

hootowl

It was easier than I expected. Finished in about 1/2 hr last night. Being awake helped too. And 2 important clues. Including the pa.:D

11:42 pm

stidmama

I stopped by the grid one night and he was here, yes -- I was totally surprised to see him!

11:42 pm

stidmama

being awake definitely helps when doing the grid... LOL

11:42 pm

hootowl

hmm - guess I missed him. I tend to come in and out usually

11:42 pm

MPittore

clue for ru?

11:42 pm

hootowl

so hows school?

11:42 pm

stidmama

and I am notorious for NEVER mailing letters even if I write them, though I will email frequently once you get me started.

11:42 pm

hootowl

one who regrests

11:42 pm

stidmama

RU: person who regrets?

11:43 pm

stidmama

school is... difficult. I find the expectations not very transparent, and poorly articulated. I don't do well with "mushy" assignments and incomplete feedback.

11:43 pm

hootowl

i can't spell for nuttin tonight

11:43 pm

stidmama

Otherwise, I am told I doing pretty well -- I worry that I am stupid and not understanding assignments.

11:44 pm

hootowl

dam - that isn't helping at all is it? Can you prod them with questions to clarify?

11:44 pm

stidmama

I DO take longer than other people to put things into words when I am doing "highbrow" stuff, so I sometimes can't really contribute much to in-class discussions. But I write pretty well.

11:44 pm

MPittore

ty got it

11:45 pm

hootowl

discussions about what? teaching?

11:45 pm

stidmama

I have prodded with questions until I think they are about to burst from frustration. I have backed off, and trying to "trust the process" but have little confidence in my ability. I have rather low self-esteem, it turns out.

11:45 pm

MPittore

clue hu?

11:45 pm

stidmama

discussions about the history of teaching, learning theories, teaching methodologies...

11:45 pm

hootowl

I always was better at writing stuff than talking. I even do it with the grid.

11:45 pm

stidmama

hu : person who goes faster

11:46 pm

Jellen

hu7= the hu***** I go, the behinder I get

11:46 pm

stidmama

thanks for that, hoot -- I was feeling quite alone in my weirdness on that!

11:47 pm

hootowl

nah! lots of people are like that. Have to think on paper or it doesn't stick.

11:47 pm

stidmama

my fingers remember words quicker than my mouth, that's for sure! At least that is true since the car accident 20 years ago. Which I haven't told the faculty about because in most cases it isn't an issue.

11:47 pm

MPittore

ty stid

11:47 pm

Jellen

That's interesting stid...

11:48 pm

stidmama

go MPittore go!

11:48 pm

MPittore

need ma's 20 left

11:48 pm

hootowl

you also have to consider that if it's that difficult for them to clarify, they aren't doing their job well.

11:49 pm

hootowl

ma6 is one who makes messes and ma5 is a color

11:49 pm

hootowl

maybe dirties stuff is better

11:49 pm

Jellen

Tim is harassing me!

11:50 pm

stidmama

I have considered that, hoot -- and I am not the only student who struggles with this. So I think I won't "fail" for the quarter and I will be allowed to move ahead in the program next quarter. But I will believe it when I have the paper in my hand that says I pass!

11:50 pm

hootowl

growl at him jellen!

11:50 pm

stidmama

*stern mama look at tim*

*STERN mama look, young man!*

11:50 pm

Jellen

Tim stuck his tongue out at you, stid!

11:51 pm

hootowl

well if it's more than just tyou - it's definitly them!

11:51 pm

stidmama

*gets out needlework scissors for tim's tongue*

11:51 pm

Jellen

He's incorrigible!

11:51 pm

stidmama

or is he encourageable??? *wink* maybe you should go sleepy-bye, young lady?

11:52 pm

stidmama

I will stay until flip, then I turn into pumpkin pudding...

11:52 pm

stidmama

thanks hoot. (((hugs))) you're right, of course.

11:53 pm

MPittore

can't get ma is a color?

11:53 pm

Jellen

He's just being a brat...

11:53 pm

stidmama

ma 5 is a purply color

11:53 pm

hootowl

stid have you ever cooked with pumpkin? BF was bound & determined to eat pumpkin and was very disappointed when it tasted like nothing.

11:53 pm

stidmama

ma 6 is a person who marks things up. like th pa 4/5

11:53 pm

hootowl

that yucky purple-gray-blue

11:54 pm

stidmama

pumpkin needs spices, hoot -- or lots of butter, like other squash.

11:54 pm

stidmama

we have used pumpkin as filler in spaghetti sauce and such. And you can make a nice pumpkin bread (like banana bread).

11:54 pm

hootowl

did that and still tasted like nothing - but spices. No flavor of it's own.

11:54 pm

MPittore

still not getting ma color

11:55 pm

stidmama

oh that tim! *exasperated mama look*

11:55 pm

Jellen

ma + Ford Explorer is a S** + vowel

11:55 pm

VolleymomDee

ma color... color of the 80's usually coupled with teal

11:55 pm

hootowl

yeah - i have the rest of it in the freezer and I'm gonna try the bread. Certainly didn't taste like the canned stuff.

generally speaking it's prespiced that is...

11:57 pm

VolleymomDee

or think of Bea Arthur's TV role (not Golden Girls).. spin off from Archie Bunker... change the middle consonant

11:57 pm

stidmama

oh! my mother used to use that! *memories flood back*

11:57 pm

hootowl

I've that stiuff and don't buy it. Libby's recipe is great and I can add more or less of whatever

11:57 pm

stidmama

we get nice non-pumpkin gourds that have better flavor than jackolanterns, but in a pinch I'll use any squash for pie/pudding

11:57 pm

MPittore

sorry volley don't know that one

11:58 pm

hootowl

i've SEEN that stuff

11:58 pm

stidmama
