FM, my internet lack coincided with a flurry of orders for my book -- very frustrating. I was able to receive email sporadically but couldn't reply. Did manage to do a bit at the library and at the neighbour's via webmail

2:13 am

herinfernallady

Ok I want this week to end and I need money as my social calendar of important things I need to do and buy. gasp flop

2:16 am

herinfernallady

A person that will be the kids Aunt but not by blood.

FMitch

Oh how great!

2:17 am

rubyfoo

I am so happy for my friends. I now get to go baby cloth shopping but I need to find clothes that will fit up to 14 pounds for newborns (I would prefer close to 16 pounds to allow growth

2:20 am

lynxxx

14 pounds! wow!

2:20 am

FMitch

I'm not up on baby talk but isn't 14lb a big baby as a new born?

2:21 am

jillibus

Huge!

2:21 am

rubyfoo

that's a scary size! is the mother diabetic?

2:21 am

lynxxx

well my 2 were 7lb

2:21 am

FMitch

2:22 am

lynxxx

You won't need size 000 that's for sure

2:22 am

herinfernallady

He did say for her sake that better not be the case. I snorted at him

2:23 am

Nope but since the seasons are changing summer clothes will be on special. I may as well say nope and by a size 1 for it

herinfernallady

2:46 am

lynxxx

Sweden?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

2:48 am

FMitch

Darn, am going to have to google to find out brb.

2:48 am

herinfernallady

Anike drive safe

2:48 am

lynxxx

Its almost a tradition here that when you retire you buy a 4WD and a caravan and drive around Australia - called Grey No6.24. We have avoided this but our near neighbours have taken off for a year

2:49 am

herinfernallady

Anike you going the outside around the coast or inside?

2:49 am

rubyfoo

france is so small compared to that!

2:51 am

FMitch

first google search brought up the fract that 4000 miles is all the way around the coastline of the England, Wales and Scotland.

2:51 am

herinfernallady

Ruby were I live and used to visit mum it was 3 hours on the train. Enough to go to England on the train

2:52 am

lynxxx

8600 kms = 5,350 miles

2:52 am

FMitch

Distances in Aus and the US are so outside our conception but we are happy to country hop here.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I have to go to London in May and would take the train, but it would take a whole day each way and I can't leave the dogs (not husband!!!) for that long

2:52 am

lynxxx

so if you took in Ireland maybe it would be about the same

2:54 am

FMitch

ruby, flying will be OK and much faster.

2:54 am

mrpresident

hello everyone! :)

2:54 am

rubyfoo

yes, I'll have to , but afraid of flying....

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

hey mrp! how are you feeling

2:54 am

rubyfoo

phantom: dynamo

2:54 am

FMitch

Hey MrP! How are you doing, heard about the chicken incident :(

2:55 am

mrpresident

Bloody chickens!! They should be on the menu, but I can't be that mean to them!

2:56 am

rubyfoo

?? tell us about the chickens!

2:56 am

mrpresident

My legs are healing slowly... was very surprised that I broke both of them though!!

2:56 am

lynxxx

hi MRP - you have been in the wars !

2:56 am

rubyfoo

chicken wrars?

2:56 am

FMitch

wish you a very speedy recovery!

2:57 am

rubyfoo

must go, mr. n is back!

2:57 am

mrpresident

ok, chickens we have had in the past were taken by foxes, so the new chickens are learning to go into the coop at night...
however, they didn't go in on this particular evening and Lickety forgot to put them away (he went out).

2:57 am

FMitch

Bye ruby

2:57 am

mrpresident

see ya ruby

2:57 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mr P

2:58 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres can you tell me something please

2:58 am

FMitch

and it is almost 9am here so I must poof too.

2:59 am

mrpresident

I went up the back, in the dark, with my son to find the chooks and put them away. They are trained to hop on our arms so we can take them to the coop...
As I was walking down the plank to the coop, one of the chickens flaps in my face and I lost balance... the plank went over, I went over and so did the chickens

2:59 am

lynxxx

bye FM. If you spk to Ata say hello for me

2:59 am

mrpresident

to save my arm (as I was falling to the right), I twisted my body around so my legs took the fall... and broke them!

2:59 am

mrpresident

see ya fmitch

3:00 am

herinfernallady

shudder Mr Pres ouch freaking ouch. My stomach just flipped over

3:00 am

mrpresident

but, happy I didn't break my back or neck really!

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

mine, too

3:00 am

lynxxx

Will the healing be normal MRP?

3:01 am

mrpresident

yes lynxx... they offered surgery and metal implants, but I refused... am resting at home for 6 weeks

3:02 am

herinfernallady

good grief Mr P

3:02 am

lynxxx

Good stuff - I suppose you can always fall back on those if you must

3:02 am

mrpresident

having an MRI next week, more xrays and ortho specialist will look into what is needed then. I do NOT WANT surgery cause of my bone infection history

3:03 am

lynxxx

you are making a lot of sense

3:03 am

mrpresident

oh infern, lynxx, dee et al, has been a real trial!!
But lickety is home looking after me so all is wonderful!

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

be open to your specialist mrp... sometimes surgery is what prevents infection...

3:04 am

mrpresident

yes dee, you are right, and will do what I need to to get right

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

we just want you well and healed!!

3:04 am

herinfernallady

He is a sweety.

3:04 am

mrpresident

thank you! I will heal well with the love of Lickety looking after me!

3:04 am

VolleymomDee

:~)

3:04 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres can I ask you how easy is it to get from Sydney to Newcastle on the train?

3:05 am

mrpresident

easy peasy infern!

3:05 am

mrpresident

do you need help in sorting out the train timetable?

3:05 am

mrpresident

how are you all BTW!?? I haven't been on babble in ages! missing you all terribly!

3:06 am

mrpresident

Infern, there are direct trains from Central Station to Newcastle... I can help you find the timetable for that

3:06 am

herinfernallady

Ok good. No I am looking at going to Newcastle but I am desprate to go to Sydney to see a very old friend. I got the time table I can't believe you have 3am trains

3:07 am

lynxxx

just letting Stew out BBS

3:07 am

herinfernallady

I am sick to death of getting on a plane and not doing what I want to do

3:07 am

mrpresident

see you soon lynxx

3:07 am

mrpresident

we have trains all bloody night!!

3:08 am

mrpresident

our trains stop at 2am and restart at 3am... I don't know what the 1 hour delay is for

3:08 am

herinfernallady

That would be a right sh// for those living near boom gates

3:08 am

mrpresident

we have no boom gates in sydney

3:09 am

herinfernallady

Central? or at all?

3:09 am

mrpresident

we have a lot of underground railway though!

3:09 am

mrpresident

when are you in sydney hun??

3:10 am

mrpresident

there are no boom gates at all in all of sydney and surrounding rural districts. They designed it so we can't kill ourselves by train

3:11 am

mrpresident

but, people still throw themselves infront of trains at railway stations... very very sad way to go

3:11 am

herinfernallady

June. I plan on being in Port Mac at the end of June for birth mums birthday

3:12 am

mrpresident

I used to live at Beecroft, about 1km from the train station... and at 1am, the freight train would come through.... all 50 carriages... and it shook the house!

3:12 am

mrpresident

June is lovely on the northern coast!!

3:13 am

herinfernallady

This is all plans at the moment. AND I could always try and 'pop in'' at your area (I know where is but not broadcasting'

3:13 am

mrpresident

If you have any time to spend in Sydney, come stay with us! Would love to see you. Hornsby is the station you can take a train directly to Newcastle

3:13 am

mrpresident

Is there a train to Port Macquarie?

3:14 am

herinfernallady

No train to Port Mac. I will get to Newy first. THis is all ideas at the moment.

3:14 am

mrpresident

If you 'pop in', I would like for you to stay a while! The kids are really looking forward to meeting you! And so are we!!

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Well actually I have to go to somewhere outside Newy but I am obviously not broadcasting

3:14 am

herinfernallady

Gee twist my arm Mr Pres :D

3:14 am

mrpresident

There are busses to the northern coast... but I will look at what is a good option for you if you like

3:15 am

herinfernallady

I have to do a whole lot of painful math first

3:15 am

mrpresident

I know that painful plan! Perhaps I can help you out

3:15 am

herinfernallady

My half sister lives in Newy so I will stay near there with her. Probably on the couch as the wee lad has his nursery in the spare room

3:17 am

mrpresident

Wauchope is the closest station to Port Macquarie

3:17 am

herinfernallady

Mr P I just need to a) get of my butt and find my concession card and then b) see what the train travel is cost and time wise from Melb to Sydney just because I can and I have a voucher, I also need to look at cost of hotel in Sydney and possibly Port Mac and I have to go to my Dads 70th in October. As I said $$$

3:18 am

herinfernallady

I can get from Newy to Port but its the dark bits inbetween and also school holidays and times

3:18 am

mrpresident

$$$ is this year problem with us too! LOL

3:18 am

mrpresident

here is some info

3:20 am

herinfernallady

herinfernallady

Yep. O I didn't tell you my bestest friend in the whole world is going to be a dad I am so super excited

3:22 am

mrpresident

It is cheaper to fly from Melbourne to Sydney on a one-way flight though

3:22 am

herinfernallady

I know that flying is cheaper but I am too curious about train travel

3:22 am

mrpresident

Oh that is wonderful infern!! Is he super excited about it too? I bet he is!

3:23 am

mrpresident

3:23 am

herinfernallady

3:24 am

mrpresident

3:24 am

herinfernallady

It took a week of phone tree and missed calls and crappy resceiption

3:45 am

herinfernallady

3:45 am

rubyfoo

3:45 am

rubyfoo

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

I agree Ruby! *poof*

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I figure that if I do the cooking, he can do the shopping - fair is fair! lol

3:47 am

herinfernallady

THat does sound good RUby.

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Bye Volley

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure he feels put upon, but that's tough

3:49 am

herinfernallady

grin

3:49 am

herinfernallady

I hate press this button thing when tallking to apperaters

3:49 am

rubyfoo

You should try those "menus" in French; sometimes I have to call back 2 or 3 times 'til I understand the options

3:53 am

herinfernallady

They drive me nuts. if you don't press the write one you get told off

3:54 am

rubyfoo

and now I've discovered the French are outsourcing some of their phone services, so I get someone speaking French with a Chinese accent!

3:54 am

herinfernallady

that could be interesting

3:55 am

rubyfoo

or annoying, depending on my mood

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Note ANnoying is what I think

3:55 am

rubyfoo

yes

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning all. Since we are now back in winter, can anyone tell me what happened to summer and autumn?

4:15 am

Trifioso

greetings from the land of insomnia!

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Trif. What time is it there then?

4:17 am

Trifioso

5 am

4:17 am

Trifioso

been up for about an hour, so I figured I might as well babble. work is gonna be a hairy experience on 4 hours sleep!

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Shudder. Quarter past 10 in the morning here. Very civilised!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Sally: that Theo is adorable!!!!! You are so lucky

4:20 am

rubyfoo

It is so cold here and they're predicting snow for tomorrow. My poor tulips!

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

Isn't he lovely! And a beautiful smiley personality as well.

4:20 am

Trifioso

try to think of it as fixed nitrogen....

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I have 138 words, but my word-rate has slowed way down!

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Very cold here too. Freezing wind when I went out this morning, but no snow here yet.

4:21 am

Haz1558

We have snow.....

4:21 am

Trifioso

I wish you guys could see the amount of rain we have here - it is literally grinding things to a halt....

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

I only have 43 words so far, but have only just started. Yesterday's was a peach of a grid.

4:21 am

Trifioso

I wish you guys could see the amount of rain we have here - it is literally grinding things to a halt....

4:21 am

rubyfoo

no no, haz! that means we'll definitely get it!

4:21 am

Haz1558

And gale force winds and lots of people without power. The internet's pretty dodgy this morning.

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Haz. Yes, I heard Ireland and Scotland had it bad.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

FM helped my at the very end and I got fireworks, only my 3rd or 4th time! I am still smiling

4:22 am

Haz1558

I was sure we were going to be without power last night, all sorts of flickerings going on.

4:22 am

Sally-catlover

Oh well done ruby!

4:22 am

Trifioso

oh wait - here's a link to tertiare and I showing some friends...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-185tJ
xaAw

4:22 am

rubyfoo

my connection has been slow too, maybe because of the high winds here in France. I didn't think of that

4:23 am

Trifioso

well done ruby!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

trif, why can't you sleep?

4:23 am

Sally-catlover

BRB - going to look at Trif's link.

4:25 am

Trifioso

I don't know ruby. happen sometimes. a big cup of coffee and Iwill be fine.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I take Xanax before bedtime and I sleep through most of the night AND have wonderful dreams!

4:26 am

herinfernallady

Ok right O now I think I can do this

4:26 am

Trifioso

I sometimes do take a sleep aid, but didn't last night. live and learn....don't like to take one every night....but I guess I should have!

4:26 am

rubyfoo

if I don't sleep I am useless the next day and Xanax has no lingering effects

4:26 am

Trifioso

hi herin!

4:26 am

Trifioso

hi herin!

4:27 am

rubyfoo

have to go; the man needs his aperitif and then out to lunch!!

4:27 am

Trifioso

bye ruby! have a great day!

4:27 am

rubyfoo

see you later ladies (or gents, if there are any on here)

4:27 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

Bye ruby. Been looking at Trif's video. Oh wow, Trif, I feel for you. You are very upbeat but I know what a mess the water will leave.

4:29 am

Trifioso

thanks sally! I really appreciate you watching it. We did have a giggle putting in together, but it is getting a bit worrisome, as it rose another 3 feet or so since I made that, and it's still raining

4:29 am

herinfernallady

Trifs do you have enough water?

4:29 am

Trifioso

ha ha ha herin. see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-185tJ
xaAw

4:30 am

herinfernallady

I saw. Wow haw big is your yard and were is that stream usually?

4:31 am

Trifioso

yes, I should have said that - where the whitest water is, right in the sort of middle. In August it won't be ankle deep

4:31 am

Trifioso

and we have ten acres here, most of it to the other side of the house

4:32 am

Trifioso

it's weird to think that now you know how my actual voice sounds, isn't it? I guess to you I sound MIGHTY American! LOL

4:32 am

herinfernallady

wow

4:32 am

herinfernallady

wow

4:33 am

herinfernallady

I have to sort out my holidays bah

4:33 am

Trifioso

boston! boston! come to boston!

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

lol, yes you sound American to me, Trif! Aren't you? But it's lovely to put a face and voice to Babble friends - and your daughter is obviously having fun.

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Love to I ahve to sort out 2 trips both family and one will be cutting it close to my friends newest edition

4:34 am

Trifioso

yes, I am an american, of course....but it is always interesting to see and hear someone you only know online, isn't it?

4:35 am

Sally-catlover

Mostly they are just not how I imagine them.

4:36 am

Trifioso

I find voices one of the hardest things to really hold in my memory of someone.

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

I know I could look it up - but where is Norwell?

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Trifs you heard my voice?

4:36 am

Trifioso

no, i don't think i ever have, herin....trying to remember

4:37 am

Trifioso

did you post a vid when you cut your hair, or was it just photos?

4:37 am

herinfernallady

right seeing if i can find a link

4:37 am

Eva

oh trif is that Norwell Mass?! Oh dear. We've been having rain here in Vt for days, but no flooding so far. And it's supposed to be in the 70's this weekend,

4:37 am

Trifioso

hi eva, and yes

4:38 am

Eva

It seems like it's going to rain more today. Is your house safe?

4:40 am

Trifioso

I don't have a basement, just a crawl space, and so far so good there, but the MUCH bigger issue is the electrical service comes in at the bottom of the phone pole in the video, and the stream is almost touching it. if it does, I will have to shut the power down to the house and evacuate

4:40 am

4:41 am

herinfernallady

damn trifs that is a pain

4:42 am

Eva

It sounds like you are very much on top of this all and quite calm about it. And clearly your daughter has a sense of the absurd. I can remember hurricanes in Fire Island when I was a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world that our back yard was a swimming pool.

4:42 am

Trifioso

herin that was so cute! when did you make it? and your voice is adorable! I LOVE your accent!

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Trifs I have sent you the album link with the password

4:43 am

Trifioso

thanks herin

4:43 am

Eva

have you ever had this kind of flooding before?

4:43 am

herinfernallady

Um at least 2 years ago. I sent you the guest password so you can see the rest.

4:43 am

Trifioso

yes, so we are sort of used to it, but this is a lot higher than usual

4:43 am

Trifioso

thanks herin!

4:45 am

herinfernallady

These photos are private. I have set a guest password on it. If any way I trust looks at Eva wants the password let me know. I do change it about once every couple of months

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Photobucket is my ''private''acount

4:46 am

Eva

That was great both trif and herin, after all these years, seeing and hearing you!

4:48 am

Eva

We still have some snow around the house, but the bulbs are coming up. And this has been one of the easiest mud seasons. Oddly enough rain makes it better rather than worse...something to do with packing down the dirt particles.

4:48 am

herinfernallady

Eva my friend Mel ''wanted an interview''. That is my old housemate next to me

4:49 am

Haz1558

The one with the tiny appetite.

4:49 am

Trifioso

herin, those photos are great! and that vid of pandora on your toe is hilarious

4:50 am

herinfernallady

That is my girl she is a nut. That is me spinning about too on my 30th because I could

4:50 am

Trifioso

yes, I like you better with short hair though, if I may be so bold

4:52 am

herinfernallady

I love my long hair in the twirling video but it was so bleached and yuck

4:52 am

Trifioso

okay, totally frustrated with the n in the fourth row, fourth column. can't budge it. is it a 'non' word?

4:53 am

Eva

I only have two of those trif-water creatures

4:53 am

herinfernallady

I have largely ignoring this damn grid

4:53 am

Haz1558

No, try water nymph(s)

4:53 am

Trifioso

ugh. thanks!

4:54 am

Haz1558

Also na4/4, babblet.

4:54 am

Trifioso

gawd almighty, it would HAVE to be water-related! I think all the water nymphs around here have packed it in

4:54 am

herinfernallady

Thanks

4:54 am

Eva

thanks haz. Havem

4:54 am

Eva

haven't had that one in a while.

4:55 am

Haz1558

You're welcome,

4:55 am

Eva

they

4:55 am

Eva

just can't type this morning! They are all having a party at your house trif!

4:56 am

Trifioso

lol eva. as long as they take all the fallen pinecones with them....

4:56 am

Eva

why don't you have your daughter go outside and do an anti-rain dance.. Seems like she'd be good at it.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

Trifs is that Teria?

4:57 am

Trifioso

the best comment i heard was that this is what we get for sending a republican to congress. teddy is NOT pleased, up in heaven!

4:57 am

Trifioso

yup, that is the lovely tertiare herself!

4:57 am

Eva

And Teddy, if you think about it, also has strong water connections in may ways

4:58 am

Trifioso

eva, are you all hearing much about that poor girl in Hadley? I hope they send those bullies away for YEARS. beasts!

5:00 am

herinfernallady

As I said many years ago it isn't the satanic worshiping goth kids that are a cult it is the Jocks and Cheerleaders that are and get away with everything

5:00 am

Eva

I still can't bear to think about that one. Although I live in Vt now, I spent almost all of my adult years in Mass. Yes, that is terrifying. More and more of an issue, and I do think that although not everything can be stopped, the adults involved are not stepping up to the plate in a comprehensive way. God knows, the are overworked and underfunded and can't attend to everything, but teaching relational skills and community building, and the ethics of friendship seems so more important than much of the academic rubbish that is crammed into their brains.

5:01 am

Eva

The first part of that applied to the election.

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

What is this about this girl? Haven't noticed anything in British media.

5:01 am

Trifioso

I just cannot accept the adults not doing more. I cannot for a minute believe they didn't know what was going on.

5:02 am

Eva

A student in the high school, recently from Ireland, was bullied mercilessly and committed suicide.

5:02 am

Trifioso

that is surprising, sally, as she was an irish girl, who moved to the states two years ago. she was so badly bullied by a crew of girls, and a couple of guys, that she committed suicide

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Oh how sad Eva.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

What a waste of a young life.

5:03 am

Trifioso

now they are attempting to get to the bottom of who knew, why the school did not help her, and prosecute the worst of the girls and boys

5:03 am

Trifioso

I hope they throw the book at them. pigs

5:04 am

Eva

It is happening at so many schools. With the internet accelerating what I assume was always there to some extent. But you know, I went to a very small private school, "progressive", but one whiff of cruelty to each other and we would have been called on the carpet publicly. The acceptable norms were made very clear. As dismayed as I am at the kids who tortured her, that didn't come out of thin air, and it's the adults I really am dismayed by.

5:04 am

Trifioso

sally, it is like to break a heart. I have been talking to my kids about it a lot, from all sides - don't ever do such a thing as participate in bullying, stick up for some one, TELL someone, etc.

5:04 am

herinfernallady

and of cause one of those was a footballer

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

What has shocked me was a case here recently of a young boy with asthma who was made to sit in a corridor at school, who was struggling to breathe and not one staff member helped him. He died and some of the staff have been suspended and may be prosecuted.

5:05 am

Trifioso

the article I read on it was just so sad. She was a lovely girl, and had just bought a new dress for an upcoming dance, and was so thrilled with it. Her poor parents -- they buried her in that dress, that never did see the school dance

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

I will google for it.

5:06 am

Trifioso

oh that poor boy, sally!

Sally-catlover

Found an article in the Seattle Times. As you say, a lovely girl.

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

lol Trif.

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Sorry school bullying just pisses me off big time. Too many kids are being injuried and no one gives a flying fig until it is too late

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

The report of the boy's death: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/mar/
24/sam-linton-asthma-death

5:11 am

Trifioso

oh, sally, that poor beautiful boy! how we throw these children away....

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Isn't it dreadful Trif. To think that adults passed him by like that. They have his death on their hands for sure.

5:13 am

Haz1558

Has the inquest been conducted yet?

5:13 am

Trifioso

i wonder - do these people really feel guilty, or are they so afraid of admitting neglect and punishment that they can convince themselves their hands are clean?

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

Yes Haz, it was the inquest which said the staff had contributed to his death.

5:14 am

Sally-catlover

He would have lived if they had called an ambulance.

5:15 am

Trifioso

you know, suddenly a big rush of water doesn't seem like such a burden.

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

(((hugs))) Trif.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

My friends friends from when they were little kids committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. He was not even 16 and he was being bullied. It just ...///.... me to no end

5:16 am

Trifioso

gonna hug mine extra this morning. even the troll. 13 is SUCH a fun age! (ack)

5:19 am

Have to go and do some things. Half way. Hugs to all and be back later.

5:45 am

herinfernallady

This is ours it is 5 minutes long of the 20 years of TAC so far the road toll is highest it has been in 5 years. They only reason I shared this is my friend lost her brother in an accident

5:46 am

herinfernallady

I don't drive but I have seen the way people walk and push shopping trollies and drive on the road

5:47 am

dizgrannie

sorry 'bout your friend and her brother....nearly lost bro-in-law thro somebody else's reckless speeding

5:48 am

herinfernallady

that is why I shared this advert. Too many people just don't think

5:49 am

6:41 am

Sally-catlover

herin, just come back on to say I watched your TAC ad. I don't drink and drive, but that ad had me in floods of tears. Very hard-hitting, but no doubt UK wouldn't be allowed anything that might "upset" people.!!

6:41 am

Tanja

amnet at the moment - we were originally arachnet then they got taken over but it has not been worth swopping unitl I buy a domain name and I still get 10 free email addresses as well

6:44 am

herinfernallady

I know that IINET is fairly awesome.

6:45 am

herinfernallady

Sally thank you for watching. This was on after 930pm. It is to remind people to stop and think over Easter

6:46 am

herinfernallady

The tree accident got me the worst as that is how my friends brother died, he fell asleep at the wheel and hit the tree and his 2 friends drove past and left him on the side of the road

6:46 am

Tanja

bout the same in cost - wont give me the extra email addresses and have to change emails but yes iinet and westnet and amnet are the big ones here

6:47 am

Sally-catlover

I am shocked at how some of my local friends drink and drive. Luckily both I and husband can have a good time on a soft drink! Cheap date, that's me :-)

6:48 am

Sally-catlover

Why did they leave him herin? Had they been drinking?

Never quite sure how to clue some of these, Mom. I prefer to have a definition if I ask for a clue, but most people seem to want it more spelt out :-)

hi all - has anyone got the no 8 please

9:21 am

no 8 is a movie which hasn't passed the censorship review board

9:22 am

Kazzer99

ta vm bichon - wouldn't have got that with a month of sundays

9:23 am

bichon

I got it from a similar clue

9:24 am

bichon

Kazzer I like your walking plan. Hubby and I want to walk in the Cotswolds

9:26 am

Kazzer99

Cotswolds are lovely but i prefer the scenery along the coast - its in my blood

9:26 am

bichon

we would love to do that too. We walkedthe Kerry Way in Ireland. It was grand

9:27 am

Kazzer99

that sounds good as well - one of the other walks we might do is the Lleyn Peninsula - its another 95 mile wlk but we could do it when we go on holiday

9:28 am

bichon

Somehow walking in Britain seems much better than walking in the US

9:29 am

Kazzer99

i have never been to US and we only relly started walking in the last 3 years or so - there are many more places i'd like to go if we could afford it

9:33 am

10:00 am

aebmusica

sometimes both...but i am getting too old to carry the big one around on gigs.

10:01 am

guernseygirl

that's why i decided on the 29 stringer. it was the biggest i could manage

10:02 am

aebmusica

i took my 15 stringed yseult harp to the hospital when i had my surgeries... it was a nice quiet ,soothing comfort for me to play it in bed.

I think with big dogs, 99% of their behviour is dependent on their owners. I trusted Rothko implicitly, even though he was huge

ruby is like a huge (but stinky) cat; all she wants to do is cuddle. If you throw a ball, you have to retrieve it yourself while she watches.

what made it worse was that before adopting the budget, one board member insisted on amending the budget to include my position, which would increase the tax increase (that sounds funny) to 7%,,. and it was defeated... people who i've hung out with, board members said they couldn't in good conscience vot for a budget that would be defeated

9:42 pm

9:44 pm

Dorens, we're worried about our budget getting defeated at only a 4% increase

9:44 pm

torgone

Of course, he has to protect his cushy, overpaid position ..

9:44 pm

nrkii

if it gets defeated, then we'll have to cut it even more, which means more teachers... it's awful

lbdawger

schools seem to think cutting the arts, music, counselors, and filling the classrooms to over maxed capacity is okay, but don't touch the blessed sports.

9:50 pm

origami

I felt guilty when I ordered a new tape dispenser recently.

9:50 pm

Dorens

ah, but parents get more excited about cutting sports than anyting else

9:50 pm

lbdawger

i think someone needs to go to the board of education and ask that very question, Pini. how can they do that and cut educational expenses.

9:50 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for si7-36? Thanks.

9:51 pm

Pinikula

not sure it makes much difference, but this is at the collegiate level; still a problem tho

9:51 pm

lbdawger

a square has 4 + your upper extremity that is attached at the shoulder

9:51 pm

origami

A pretty disturbing trend is to require those kids who play sports to pay to play. It creates a dichotomy between the haves and have-nots

9:51 pm

Pinikula

thx lbd

9:51 pm

KrisE

nice clue, lb!

9:52 pm

Dorens

shouldn't make any difference collefe or not, pini

9:52 pm

lbdawger

The board of education and the Council of higher education still report to the legislature. They need to be accountable!

9:52 pm

Dorens

lots of nj districts are considering that now... pay to play... very disturbing

9:52 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, lbdawger.

an6?

9:53 pm

Dorens

alcoholics an****ous

9:53 pm

KrisE

an6 is like an opposite word - minus a t

9:53 pm

lbdawger

not a homonym but the opposite an...take out the T tho

9:53 pm

Shirlockc

thx!

9:54 pm

lbdawger

it's too bad to have to go the route of pay to play, but when there's only a select number who get to play anyway...oh well.

9:55 pm

Dorens

yes dawg, but having worked for fifteen years in inner city schools, i'm more sensitive to the folks who don't have the $$, and it is unfair (even tho it may be unfair all around)

9:56 pm

lbdawger

I understand, Dorens. It's not just inner cities tho. Little country schools are having the same problem. Big bucks going for things that only a few get the benefit from.

9:56 pm

Shirlockc

er7?

9:57 pm

lbdawger

er4.4 + small charged particle

9:57 pm

Dorens

you do have a point.. just don't see a solution. my kids were never big on sports, although our school district spent an enormous amount of time and money on the sports program... did nothing for a lot of kids though, and it did bother me

9:57 pm

KrisE

thanks, lb!

9:57 pm

Shirlockc

thx lbd

9:59 pm

nrkii

sorry, got kicked off web for a few minutes

9:59 pm

lbdawger

I think I see it being more prevelant in the country schools, because the division of haves and have nots are really obvious. (not that it isn't in inner city schools.) but Kids who drive nice cars to HS and those who wear worn out sneakers and have to take the bus.

9:59 pm

KrisE

welcome back nrkii

9:59 pm

Dorens

welcome back nrk

9:59 pm

nrkii

Dorens, it's true that Christie's decisions are hurting school budgets, but ours was in deep doo-doo before that

10:00 pm

nrkii

we were already looking at a situation where rising healthcare, energy and salary costs were outpacing any revenue increases

10:00 pm

nrkii

so we were already looking at losing at least 2 positions

10:00 pm

lbdawger

well, now that nrk is back, i'll be heading for my pillows. *wink*. Keep you chin up, dorens. I know something good will come to you.

10:01 pm

Dorens

many of them were nrk.. but he has so exacerbated it.. i just don't understand why he won't even consider resuming the surtax on those who earn over $400,000 the people he's hurting are all middle class folks now... not just the teachers but the taxpayers who will have to pay the burden

10:01 pm

Dorens

thanks dawg

10:01 pm

nrkii

I'm also having trouble understanding the pay rate and responsibilities of superintendents

10:01 pm

lbdawger

and a curse on the school systems who are jeopardizing our kids education!

10:02 pm

Dorens

i'm just totally furious with our superintendent.

10:02 pm

Shirlockc

clue for the im?

10:02 pm

nrkii

the school system I grew up in had one superintendent for all the city's schools

10:02 pm

lbdawger

night night, everyone. see you tomorrow

10:02 pm

nrkii

and it was a big city 200,000+ residents

10:02 pm

Dorens

ok. shamelessly asking for clues now... tired and cranky and need to be done... as 6/30 -please?

10:02 pm

nrkii

that superintendent in that city now makes about $200K, but has very big responsibilities

10:02 pm

KrisE

goodnight lbd

10:03 pm

KrisE

I need that, too, Dorens

10:03 pm

nrkii

then you have a super who's overseeing 500 kids across 2 little schools, making similar money... ?

10:03 pm

Dorens

some big city schools often have others in central office who are in charge of personnel, curriculum, testing, etc. But in a tiny district, they should do more of it themselves

10:03 pm

Shirlockc

as = to look at someone funny

10:03 pm

10:05 pm

thx!

10:06 pm

well Dorens, keep your chin up... I bet that school will move heaven and earth to get you back if they can possibly do it!

10:06 pm

Dorens

cool thanks kris

10:06 pm

KrisE

yvw Dorens

10:06 pm

Shirlockc

first st8?

10:07 pm

Dorens

we'll see nrk. my prinicpal has a gut feeling, with absolutely no foundation, that i'll be back. I call it wishful thinking (her job will be thoroughly impossible without a guidance counselor!)

10:07 pm

KrisE

don't have it, shirl, sorry

10:07 pm

nrkii

I know our school board is working with the same mindset... we are losing great teachers and nobody wants that

10:08 pm

nrkii

so if other things come through, teachers will be hired back as quickly as possible

10:08 pm

Dorens

hopefully some older folks will retire quickly and make room for the younger (and cheaper) ones

10:09 pm

nrkii

we had 2 retire and have to let go of another 2...

10:09 pm

nrkii

4 teachers from a small school is pretty painful

10:10 pm

nrkii

the good news is that there is a grass roots campaign in town (including a facebook group) drumming up support ... so I hope the budget will pass

10:10 pm

nrkii

and this won't get worse

10:10 pm

Dorens

we (the staff) will go out and beat the bushes to get this budget passed.. i'll do everything i can, even if I am not included in it

10:11 pm

nrkii

our budget was defeated last year

10:11 pm

Dorens

i must say, though, that i am feeling very angry right now. good thing vacation begins after tomorrow.

10:11 pm

nrkii

I do understand Dorens

10:11 pm

KrisE

me, too

10:11 pm

nrkii

and I'm so sorry you're having to go through this

10:11 pm

Uneaixoise

your anger seems totally justified, dorens

10:11 pm

nrkii

I hope it improves quickly

10:12 pm

nrkii

okay, time for me to go find a soft place to land

10:12 pm

Dorens

thanks buddies. that really helps. i came home, drank a glass of wine and then had major self-pity jag. didn't make anything better though
