i wish people elsewhere understood that Virginia is large enough that commuting from Northern VA to Tidewater VA for a 23/h job is not worthwhile.
12:56 am

It was a kinda sorta science fiction movie of the mid-80's
12:56 am

12:56 am

i should respond to the recruiter that that needs 45 or so /hr
12:58 am

I am surprised the recruiter did not ask you what you needed...

Did the recruiter realize you would not relocate? Maybe that also needs to be addressed?
1:01 am

It didn't hurt that it had Natassialicious Kinski in it
1:02 am

g'night peri
1:03 am
dcseain

don't know where he found my resume online, though i've indicated an unwillingness to relocate, and list only 4 area codes i'm willing to work in.
1:03 am
dcseain

and the SE corner of VA is in none of them
1:05 am
VolleymomDee

apparently, he or she wasn't doing a very good job of matching a candidate to an open position... really frustrating when they do that
1:06 am
Douglas

I've been waiting for my slow-as-Christmas internet connection to tell me that Cat People got a 64 rating at rottentomatoes.com, which is a pretty good rating from the critics
1:06 am
dcseain

indeed. there's a few i've talked to - usually in California that try to explain that Gaithersburg, Maryland is 15miles from me. I usually ask if they saw a map, as it's 30-40 miles as the roads and ferries go
1:06 am
dcseain

eh, small things in the end.
1:06 am
dcseain

that is a decent rating on rottentomatoes, douglas

uh, what is rottentomatoes?
1:13 am
Douglas

rottentomatoes.com is a site where the opinions of movie critics and lovers of movies are aggregated
1:13 am
jillibus

thanks, doug!
1:14 am
Douglas

I use rottentomatoes to help advise my children about movies they should and shouldn't ought see, not on the basis of content, but on the basis of quality
1:16 am
VolleymomDee

I'll have to check out that website
1:16 am

I remember seeing it in Europe. I spent a year in England in 1965-66, and traveled in Europe a good bit
1:21 am
jillibus

Oh, was it not American?
1:22 am
VolleymomDee

What is it about?
1:23 am
dcseain

they used to advertise in Nat'l Geo, and i remember it being available at local camera shops
1:23 am
jillibus

dee, Agfa is/was a brand of camera film
1:23 am
Douglas

I don't think it was American
1:24 am
rururocks

doesn't sound american
1:24 am
dcseain

agfa is a german company, i believe
1:24 am
jillibus

funny, how we can remember brand names for so long
1:24 am
VolleymomDee

In Netflix it is called "Life According to Agfa", and it is in Hebrew

I picked the slowest mail option, so it will take up to 21 days. But I don't want to pay more for shipping then for the CD itself, loll.

I feel the same way! in the US the options are ridiculous and to send to Canada, you pay incredible taxes to boot
2:05 am
jillibus

Tell me about it, ruby!

but no plural allowed; why is that?
2:38 am
Douglas

Would someone give me some ga4 for slapping, because I didn't see ga4?
2:38 am
sprite

if it is like in japanese, it may be because the plural is the same. Or, as far as I know hawaiian, the plural may be n***n***titiwiti or something like that.
2:38 am
rubyfoo

I like the tititwiti lol
2:39 am
rubyfoo

I have 5 ga4's, douglas, which ones or shd I write them all?
2:39 am

one of the best things of gabaldon is that she will not permit you to hate the bad guys. Just as you think you have them all pegged, she turns the plot and makes you think about them, see them as humans again.

6:53 am
Nancy Boy

I'm enjoying this...following my Coming of Age day, I'm now an adult just like everyone else. So I can join in complaining about kids ;)

hi kids - and Trif - that is priceless - I wish I had a camera when my three-year-old (23 years ago) was taking apart his high chair with a screwdriver - he was pretty handy, almost disassembled by the time I found him

6:56 am

my kid used to take furniture apart as well,but he did not need tools
6:56 am
herinfernallady

Trifs I mean what kind of idiot leaves a bottle of nail varnish remover on a very expensive table
6:57 am
JBV

herin may have something there - I sometimes think these cutesie photos and videos were actually staged
6:57 am
sandyloo

leaving things around is easy when you are chasing kids all over the place
6:58 am
JBV

hurshy is also correct, I would not want someone trailing mes around with a video camera -
6:58 am
Trifioso

the same parent who mistakenly figures a ten year old girl who has been doing her own nails for over a year without incident could handle it one more time. I spilled a bottle of nail polish remover on a wooden table when I was sixteen!
6:58 am

The said kid was 9

7:01 am
herinfernallady

My friends dog was walking about at a p[arty all wobbley and she was really worried so she watched him wobble back to his corner and found empty cans of booze
7:01 am
Trifioso

listen, stuff happens! I am happy that there are parents with enough of a sense of humor to take a photo, laugh about it, and then get on with the cleaning up. if the kid needs punishing, then punish them, or at least have them help you clean up, or teach them WHY that was a bad idea....
7:02 am
Trifioso

okay, on that note, I have to toddle off to work. have a great day all, and remember to put the markers out of reach!
7:04 am
crosshair

lol nowadays i have to put my wallet and car keys out of reach
7:05 am
hurshy

personally, i think being a parent or a boss or anything gives you an unfair advantage - you can be much more aware and critical of the mistakes of someone you are in charge of than of your own, and they can't do anything back. i don't have kids, but i'm just relieved not to BE one anymore, so that when i break something or whatever, there's no outside critic to make me feel worse than i already do
7:05 am
hurshy

wish i could get such a situation at work ...
7:06 am
crosshair

as a parent we are there to advise,cause we have done all that crap before and do not want your kids messing up in the same way
7:06 am

9:33 am
Riverdance

Hi BR - grid is not too bad today
9:33 am
poodletoes

9:34 am
Pinikula

YES, vlcl!!!!
9:34 am
Pinikula

My mom used to make that when I was younger! Loved it!
9:34 am
Pinikula

(haven't had it in years)
9:34 am
poodletoes

Ive got 4 free boxes of Ritz so I am going to try it
9:35 am
Pinikula

(I didn't know anyone knew about it; was beginning to think it was her own recipe)
9:35 am
poodletoes

it really tastes goodd??
9:35 am
redturtlehead

It sounds a bit buttery and crunchy, not at all bad Vici...
9:35 am
Riverdance

sounds yum - never heard of that before
9:35 am
Pinikula

sure does ;)
9:35 am
nanachichi

9:35 am
poodletoes

I will save you a piece
9:35 am
o-o

Yes, blitzkrieged the grid ere now.
9:35 am
peabody

My Mom used to make it when I was young too - it is good
9:36 am
redturtlehead

nana, I am confused that you lost what clue or the words.
9:36 am
Pinikula

thx vlcl!!!
9:36 am
Pinikula

not sure you can doe it from clues to grid...can do from grid to clues...
9:36 am
Pinikula

doe = do
9:36 am
nanachichi

all the clues i typed in
9:36 am
nanachichi

in the left
9:36 am
Pinikula

vlcl...please let me know how it turns out!
9:36 am
redturtlehead

nana you are typing clues?
9:37 am
nanachichi

yes
9:37 am
redturtlehead

why are you typing clues.
9:37 am
poodletoes

44 words left - gonna go walk dog and make pie
9:37 am
Pinikula

clues or words?
9:37 am
Riverdance

I think we are using different terminology here
9:37 am
redturtlehead

81 for me, dog has been walked, I need to go swimming soon.
9:37 am
nanachichi

because i really never cut and paste before,,
9:37 am
Riverdance

are the words in the word list nana
9:38 am
nanachichi

can u tell me how i lost them all
9:38 am
Pinikula

57 for me and I need to get ready for work...
9:38 am
Riverdance

are you trying to move them to lickety
9:38 am
nanachichi

i must have hit something while typeing
9:38 am
nanachichi

yes
9:38 am
Riverdance

i have 20 left
9:38 am
redturtlehead

firstly do not ever cut and paste, copy and paste only.
9:38 am
Riverdance

mine fall off lickety all the time. I just have to copy and paste them back
9:40 am
Riverdance

have the bulk add box open on lickety - highlight the list of words, then drag them into the big box, then hit add bulk
9:40 am
Minski

why would you put words in lickety instead of directly into the grid? Isn't that double work?
9:41 am
redturtlehead

thats what I do as well. except I hit control copy fisrt then control p. I guess I dont drag.
9:41 am
Riverdance

when I am trying to figure out what I have left I have my the system add the words. I dont type them in manually
9:41 am
Minski

btw - hello all - just wasting a bit of time babbling before I have to pick up 5 year old at school.
9:42 am
Riverdance

I need to leave in 15 minutes for a legal seminar so trying to get some last minute words
9:42 am
o-o

I just type the word or guess into Add Words and click Add
9:42 am
Riverdance

me too - but dont you use lickety BR
9:42 am
Riverdance

actually I just hit enter on the keyboard. Its faster
9:43 am
o-o

no lickety -- never have used it
9:43 am
Minski

I pull up lickety in a different window so I can have both open at the same time. then I figure out what I need and add it directly into the grid.
9:43 am
redturtlehead

BR is brilliant and needs no lickety.
9:43 am
Riverdance

how do you know what you are missing
9:44 am
redturtlehead

I use Lickety at the bitter end when I have 30-40 words left. I am hopign to someday stop using lickety alltogether.
9:44 am
Riverdance

I have two windows open too but on the big puzzle I need already gotten words put in to see what I am missing
9:44 am
Minski

start at the bottom of both word lists and work my way up. compare what I have to what lickety has. then fill in the gaps.
9:44 am
Riverdance

ahhh - me stupid - need lickety
9:44 am
redturtlehead

lickety makes things much faster, i pick and pick at grid all day without him.
9:45 am
Minski

you are not stupid mom. everyone does things differently.
9:45 am
o-o

I show clarify, I do not use Lickety pro
9:45 am
Riverdance

that takes too much time minski - especially when stopping and starting the game several times a day
9:45 am
redturtlehead

and luckily I have all day ot pick at the grid on my not working days.
9:45 am
Minski

to be honest, I don't htink I use lickety's list to its full potential. I just compare the 2 and fill in the gaps on mine.
9:45 am
Minski

what is clarigy br?
9:46 am
redturtlehead

Pro does not work on a mac so I have not the option for that.
9:46 am
Scrabbler

Good morning kids.
9:46 am

9:47 am
redturtlehead

nicer than our weather.
9:47 am
Riverdance

grid is not bad
9:47 am
o-o

I type in all the words I can find and then use every available expediency to complete the grid, including sacrificing candy wrappers to the enable gods.
9:47 am
Scrabbler

We have a beautiful, sunny day here--high of 71 expected.
9:47 am
redturtlehead

only the wrappers BR?
9:47 am

9:48 am

Hi BR + Ata

Minski

It is grey and drizzly here in MA and the same temp.
9:49 am
o-o

Hello, Scrabbler

How is the leg doing, Ata?
9:49 am
Minski

As long as you aren't sacrificing the candy itself no intervention is needed.
9:49 am
Riverdance

you are not far away from me Minski
9:50 am
Minski

we probably live about an hour apart.
9:50 am
Riverdance

I live an hour from the Mass/NH border
9:51 am
Riverdance

I work in Concord NH that is a little closer - heading to Manchester in a few minutes for a seminar
9:51 am
Atalante

ok, I hope! First physio session tomorrow!
9:51 am
Minski

I live about 45 minutes from the border. It takes us just under 2 hours to get to Waterville Valley from here.
9:52 am
Scrabbler

Yay, Ata, although you will have pain.
9:52 am
Riverdance

not to bad - north of Boston is much easier to get around
9:52 am
Scrabbler

But it is the start to recovery.
9:52 am
Riverdance

I need to run folks - enjoy babbling - maybe see you all this evening
9:53 am

12:05 pm
Nancy Boy

oh no, did I miss Eva? :O
12:05 pm
Atalante

no, we can't. We used to be able to, but they stopped it
12:06 pm
Shawnee

Perhaps that would be the only way I'd be able to quit my "habit" if totally unable to ge my hands on it. Addictive stuff, the Dew.
12:07 pm
rubyfoo

hello everybody
12:07 pm
Atalante

hi ruby!
12:07 pm
Atalante

I vaguely remember that they banned (?) it cos it had too much caffeine in?
12:09 pm
Shawnee

It is loaded with caffeine, though now they have a caffeine free version.
12:09 pm
Nancy Boy

looks like I did miss Eva...:(
12:10 pm

12:14 pm

Last year they came out with Mt. Dew "Throwback" made with real sugar. Like when we were kids. Good stuff.
12:14 pm
Barb's Horses

everything is so slow here today...anyone else notice?
12:14 pm

now all we need is coke with the cocaine and we are all set;))
12:15 pm
rubyfoo

I am so old that they didn't have mountain dew when I ewas a kid: coke, pepsi, cotts's cream soda, hire's root beer
12:15 pm

12:18 pm
Barb's Horses

12:19 pm
rubyfoo

when I was young, Dr. P was only in the South
12:19 pm
Atalante

I wish we could get decent cream soda over here
12:19 pm
rubyfoo

that was my fave when I was a kid, cream soda
12:19 pm
crosshair

it is mostly crap here as well
12:20 pm
rubyfoo

my father had a candy store (in NY), with a fountain, so I grew up with all the candy/soda/ice cream etc. I could want
12:20 pm
Atalante

there's a gorgeous orange cream soda I can get in a sweet shop in Oregon. *bliss*
12:20 pm
rubyfoo

until I was 12
12:20 pm
Barb's Horses

the pink cream soda or the brown one Ruby? I like the pink myseld
12:20 pm
crosshair

and the hawaiian goose says hello
12:21 pm

12:21 pm

we have a clear cream soda
12:21 pm
Atalante

so do we
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

hmm
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

I've heqard that people mix Red Bull (which I've never tasted) with vodka, for a killer drink
12:21 pm
Barb's Horses

that is made by jones no?...the pink one is made by Crush
12:22 pm
Atalante

vodka red bull is great!
12:22 pm
crosshair

all the kids up here mix vodka with red bull
12:22 pm
crosshair

my heart would just explode lol
12:22 pm
rubyfoo

I've only heard about that, but they advertise red bull on French TV
12:23 pm
Atalante

I used to be able to drink pitchers of the stuff ...
12:23 pm
rubyfoo

I'm impressed!
12:23 pm
Soodle

A very very good cure for a hangover is vodka and lucozade. I know. I have tried it....
12:23 pm
Atalante

note the *used*!
12:23 pm
crosshair

end up with a bunch of hyped up wide awake drunks
12:24 pm
rubyfoo

that's what I've heard; at least I had the decency, when drunk, to fall down and/or pass out
12:24 pm
rubyfoo

what is lucozade and hello, soodle
12:24 pm
Atalante

you move on to shots for that ...
12:24 pm
rubyfoo

sounds like a fruit drink with extra sugar?
12:25 pm
Atalante

how on earth do you describe lucozade!
12:25 pm
rubyfoo

how about jello shots?
12:25 pm
Atalante

it's sugar and extra full of glucose - it's used for sports people, and is the old fashioned gift for people in hospitals
12:25 pm
rubyfoo

I don't even know if they have jello here....
12:25 pm
Atalante

and it's bright orange
12:25 pm
Soodle

Hi everybody. Lucozade is a glucose drink - bright orange in colour, and totally yummy. the glucose replaces the whatsits you lost last night, and the vodka, well, the vodka just does what vodka does!
12:25 pm
Barb's Horses

you can still get lucozade? can't get that here anymore...use to drink that when I was a kid and sick with the stomach flu
12:25 pm
Atalante

and tasted like nothing else
12:26 pm
rubyfoo

sounds wonderful
12:26 pm
Atalante

apple Lucozade is gorgeous
12:27 pm
rubyfoo

we had coke syrup for stomach flu
12:28 pm
Soodle

Lucozade, with or without vodka is a lovely drink. But very very fattening, and heaped with artificial colouring
12:29 pm
rubyfoo

I'll look for it as a mixer
12:30 pm
Atalante

sugar free Lucozade FTW!
12:30 pm
rubyfoo

hahah
12:31 pm
Atalante

you can get it now :)
12:31 pm
rubyfoo

I have 126 words, but I think that's it for me.

recovering from company
12:39 pm
redturtlehead

ohhhh that will take a while.
12:39 pm
rubyfoo

for sure!
12:40 pm
rubyfoo

and a heron ate all of my husband's fish this week, so he is sad and miserable
12:40 pm
rubyfoo

there were more than 300 goldfish, some over a foot long!
12:40 pm
crosshair

id be eating the heron for that lol
12:40 pm
Barb's Horses

what a shame ruby
12:40 pm
crosshair

poor goldfish
12:40 pm
redturtlehead

best not to put fish in a heron area, or put lots and lots of small natural ones.
12:41 pm
rubyfoo

he wanted to kill it, but probably won't see it again since the fish are gone
12:41 pm
redturtlehead

i love herons.... and fish,
12:41 pm
Barb's Horses

oh my...here some people buy a fake heron and then the real ones stay away
12:41 pm
Soodle

Was it the same heron who was stalking your fish, Rubes?
12:41 pm
rubyfoo

he started with only "feeders", 23 of them and over 8 or 9 yrs had a great pond going
12:41 pm
redturtlehead

barbs thats a good idea.
12:41 pm
rubyfoo

yes, but it did all the damage within 4 days of my first sighting
12:42 pm
rubyfoo

this isn't a heron area!!!!
12:42 pm
rubyfoo

who knew?
12:42 pm
Barb's Horses

the other thing is laying a net just on the waters surface so they can't get through it but you can still feed and enjoy the fish
12:43 pm
rubyfoo

I've seen them, but only in cultivated fields, not close by, where they seem to eat mice and voles
12:43 pm
rubyfoo

I suggested the net thing, but husband is a hard a**
12:43 pm
redturtlehead

i'd think ruby they would prefer fish.
12:44 pm
rubyfoo

certainly that's true in Florida, but here there really arent's many fish (except in our pond :()
12:45 pm
redturtlehead

So it was like a sweet shop opened just for him or her.
12:45 pm
Atalante

heron obviously couldn't resist the feast :(
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

I feel bad for him, because the pond was beautiful, many kinds of plants and gorgeous fish
12:45 pm
Barb's Horses

we have a heron in our area but he/she doesn't seem to bother my fish..but my neighbour put up a net over her pond an now it doesn't come around anymore
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

yup
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

in 11 years, I didn't see one until last weekend
12:46 pm
Barb's Horses

our other problem is the racoons...they like to fish...but again with the net they can't be bothered
12:46 pm

12:55 pm

12:57 pm

I've never heard one, we are too far from the lake. The only noteworthy bird call here is Mrs. Cuckoo
12:58 pm
redturtlehead

its ok ruby, its chilling, like a creepy laugh, very human sounding and sometimes more like a young person screaming...
12:58 pm
redturtlehead

not something you want to hear.

we had a coopers hawk nest above our deck and they pooped and dropped entrails on it all summer. It was fun to watch the babies tho
1:02 pm
rubyfoo

how dated is that?
1:03 pm
rubyfoo

I thought they ate the entrails.....
1:03 pm
crosshair

the loon is kind of like our ambassador of the north,a symbol of freedom and nature and being one with the north,calling it just a noisy bird is like calling the american bald eagle nothing but a dump scavanger lol
1:03 pm
poodletoes

well, they dropped some of them
1:03 pm
redturtlehead

vici, i would love that but... i gotta say, entails and poo...
1:03 pm
redturtlehead

no no crossy, i called it a creepy bird.
1:04 pm

*poof*

the bald eagle may be a dump scavenger, i am unsure.
1:05 pm

am somewhat of a birdwatcher but have never heard a loon
1:06 pm

Hearing a loon makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up the first time. It's just haunting.
1:06 pm

see, gail agrees that it is eerie, creepy.
1:06 pm

Eagles scream, too.

We used to hear them in Northern Michigan during the night.
1:08 pm

i like the sound of a mocking bird at night
1:08 pm

Hi jmc.
1:08 pm

it makes me feel . . . .at home
1:08 pm

snadhill cranes do not make nice bird noises, they always sound like mechanical.
1:08 pm
jmcnrick

hi all
1:09 pm
jmcnrick

that is one of the nice thing about mocking birds is that you can get one that sings every night
1:09 pm

wow...to feel at home, I have to hear the roar of traffic and people shouting ;)
1:09 pm

Hi Nancy. Thats the price of being a young jet setter in the city eh?
1:09 pm
poodletoes

we go to Indiana to see the sandhill cranes each year. there are thousands of them in the fields,
1:10 pm
EvaNadine

NB!!!!!!!
1:10 pm
redturtlehead

there are supposed to be a lot at a place in Florida called Payne's prarie, but...I have never gotten there.
1:10 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL Red...wouldn't exactly call myself a jet setter! But personally, I like it. I can't sleep in the country. Too quiet!
1:10 pm

Paynes Prairie is a neat place.

I need to make some time to go up there Vici, Its on my list.
1:11 pm

vlcl where in Indiana and when do you see the cranes?
1:11 pm
poodletoes

NB the country is not quiet. The cicadas would probably keep you awake more than city noises.
1:11 pm
jmcnrick

i like the sound of traffic too nb Washington DC is the smallest city i have ever lived in
1:12 pm
poodletoes

have to look on may
1:12 pm
jmcnrick

the country is WAY too noisy for me
1:13 pm
Nancy Boy

Maybe where you are vlc ;) the English countryside is somewhat lacking. Too cold for birds and insects! But where I live, it is particularly noisy...lots of drunk people in the streets at all hours of the night!
1:14 pm

I live in a smallish town in Vermont and the drunks and traffic keep me awake.

well I am definitely qualified for those, Eva :) what's up?
1:16 pm

I just googled it. looks like northeastern area south of Michigan city

*sighs* I hate to sound hypocritical, but...men. Don't let it get to you - Leo was one of those more than a few times when we were friends. Though I countered it by accidentally on purpose making him gay, which I don't think would work for you..

1:22 pm

i know, i know. im just so utterly annoyed with im right now. and whenever im annoyed with him, he reacts as though i dont have the right to be, and then somehow, it seems like HE is mad at ME.
*harumph*
1:23 pm
Nancy Boy

in the world of man, the best defense is an offense...what's he done, if it's okay to ask? :(
1:23 pm

now were back to 10 hours..think there is a gliche somewhere

1:25 pm
Barb's Horses

well better eat and then have to get mom to the doctors this afternoon....I don't think so Nancy that would be too nice to do
1:25 pm
EvaNadine

nothing big, thats the sad part!
i ended up staying a half hour late at work yesterday, but then thanks to horrific metro delays and then some emergency situation at my home station, it took me 2 hours to get home last night.
needless to say, i was exhausted. i asked him twice (once via text on the way home and again later in the car) if he would just pick a place for us to eat dinner because i was mentally wiped.
instead of just picking a place, he starts listing places. i asked him again to just pick somewhere and he wouldnt, so i just got out of the car + went back inside.
we didnt talk for the rest of the night, and apparently he slept on the couch.
1:25 pm
EvaNadine

:/
1:26 pm
redturtlehead

eva, In a way, I think its probably going to be pretty easy to get over that one.
1:27 pm
EvaNadine

i agree, red.
it just really upsets me that he knew i was having a rough day, and quite easily could have made it a little easier, but just flat out wouldnt.
1:27 pm
EvaNadine

it seemed like he was actually trying to upset me.
1:27 pm

bye barb
1:28 pm

wife and i used to do that a lot,now we read each others minds and know what is going on
1:28 pm
Nancy Boy

the worst, juiciest rows always come from SO little. luckily for me, Leo's too tall to sleep on the sofa.
1:28 pm
redturtlehead

agreed with what jmc says and indeed if you had not liked the pick then he may have been worried that you would complain about it.
1:29 pm
redturtlehead

even if you definitely would not have.
1:29 pm
jmcnrick

the main thing is to assume that he had the best of intentions and was doing his inept best to be good to you
1:29 pm
Good Enough

well said jmc
1:30 pm
redturtlehead

jmc, you are too wise for your own good.
1:30 pm
jmcnrick

my husband and I learned that the thing that the other person did that most annoyed us was usually an attempt to be helpful
1:30 pm
Nancy Boy

and think of all the things you'd miss out on if you never fought. you know what I mean :)
1:30 pm
jmcnrick

for example when i was sick hubby would bring tea with lemon and honey and i HATE lemon and honey in my tea
1:31 pm
jmcnrick

*polishes and straightens halo*
1:31 pm
EvaNadine

*sigh*
i know in my head that he wasnt trying to be mean or hurtful. its just so difficult when i was SO exhausted and i was telling him exactly what i needed from him, and he just refused. it felt like a slap in the face.
1:33 pm
jmcnrick

my husband was bringing me tea and honey for all of our 11 years together even though i kept pointing out i hated it
1:33 pm

1:39 pm
Nancy Boy

well we have an interesting situation...he still has half a straight boy mentality. Helps him humour me, I think ;)
1:39 pm
jmcnrick

in fact part of what we learned to do was each night tell each other something we appreciated about that person and something that we did as a gift for that person that day
1:39 pm
crosshair

it is not really a war nb,think of it more as a series of small skirmishes,where there is give and take and concessions,where there is no real victor and all you are really hoping for of to outlive each other lol
1:39 pm
jmcnrick

it made for interesting conversations and revelations
1:40 pm
redturtlehead

i bet jmc. thats very nice.
1:40 pm

some times the very thing i did to be helpful to him was what annoyed him the most!

we will be in OBX. :)
with my family -- which could be even more stressful than being at home...lol

1:47 pm

i think so too!
shes very nervous because she is just picking up and going. no job lined up + only knows like 4 people out there. but she really needs a change, and i think this will be good for her.
1:47 pm
Nancy Boy

don't drink too much at the party...a hungover plane ride is a long, protracted and painful death ;)
1:48 pm
Nancy Boy

ohhh, she'll be fine - after all, I did the same, only knowing one person here ;) and I'm still more or less in one piece!
1:48 pm
EvaNadine

no plane ride for us -- we are driving to OBX the next day. and for her, shes not moving until next week, so she can drink all she wants. ;)
1:48 pm

5:17 pm
MizHoffle

5:18 pm
featherbee

5:18 pm
fuzzybunny

5:18 pm
MizHoffle

I am back to being a nanny after being let go
5:18 pm

featherbee

budget cuts?
5:19 pm
fuzzybunny

Our school district just handed out pink slips due to declining enrollment and major financial woes.
5:20 pm
MizHoffle

nope, just let me go. I was one of the highest paid staff and I think they wanted to get rid of those to make room for part-time or just lower paid people
5:20 pm
Marjetta

My husband was a high school teacher and he called that the "not my precious Johnny" syndrome. Parents never wanted to think their child did anything wrong.
5:20 pm
featherbee

ouch
5:20 pm
fuzzybunny

that is awful
5:20 pm
MizHoffle

oddly enough, my center was on the upswing with enrollment...
5:21 pm
MizHoffle

yup, marjetta
5:21 pm
fuzzybunny

I like the name for that syndrome!
5:21 pm
Marjetta

Our college is too, but we still had people cut for the budget

redturtlehead

5:22 pm
Marjetta

Yes my husband got out of teaching since the teachers at the High school level were not supported by administration.
5:23 pm
fuzzybunny

Admin makes a huge difference
5:23 pm
Marjetta

yes it does
5:23 pm
MizHoffle

there was no consistency, one in particular was really violent and never got a call home or sent home...the director only cares about revenue
5:24 pm
MizHoffle

I was actually happy to be let go...I feel just better knowing I don't have to put up with most of those people anymore
5:24 pm
redturtlehead

sorry, but are there any W words that arent 4 letters??

The book by Preston is a narrative about a virus let loose in NYC, he also intersperses some history on bioweapons in there, very upsetting.

Hello stidgmere. Please pass on our greetings!!

I have been quiet and not Babbling regularly the last little while red. Lots of Hospice work that just ended and stress at work about next year. When I haven't got nice things to talk about, I stay quiet. Makes my Granny proud.

The Road is about what is left after many atomic bombs are detonated. It follows a father and his son as they try to survive on the roads trying to find food and other friendly souls.

Minveryork

I think I will save my last word for later.Now I'll work on a story of clues. I will be here for clues if needed.
5:57 pm
Bugsaw

We all know how it will end even when we begin a relationship but it is nice to know that the death was peaceful for everyone in the family, not just the client.
5:57 pm

Minveryork

Don't kn 4/12 about you, but I thought that the grid was easy. I woud ra 4/4 this grid one of the easiest grids I have se4/4 and on of the easiest on4/4 to do I'm ne4/4 to the end of grid. So what el 4/4 can I do? I could ne 4/4en house,but I think I will do a story of clues instead to help you se 4/8 your words. When I was a te4/4ager,I traveled af4/7. I had to leave the hotel I was at because of a fire. I coudn't believe my ea4/4 when I heard that it turned out it was ar5/10 I hope whoever did it had to at 5/10 for their sins. I hope someone kicked them in the groin with their kn 4/8.Now I have a fe4/7 of hotels. Hubby has tried to ea4/4 my fe 5/16, but I am still afraid.Hubby likes to te5/10 me on my hotel phobia. I get mad and tell him to to 4/4 down is hotel jokes. I am not too ke 4/8 on staying at hotels anymore. A red fl 4/9 goes up in my mind whenever I have to stay at hotels. Sometimes I wake up in the midde of the night with te 4/4 in my eyes and my stomach is tied up in kn5/18 and I want to fl 4/7 the hotel.Now I am going to watch My Name is Ea 4/4 and look for some good ea 4/4 for dinner. I al 4/4 have to take a shower to wash myse4/7. Who kn5/26, maybe I'll skip the tv show and just babble. I think it is pretty sa 4/7 to say that I won't be out of this se4/4 for long. I hope you have made a no4/4 of my clues and found some more words. I clued mostly easy words, not the hard on 4/4.Oh and by the way, this story is fa 5/16. I will be back a little bit later on

I always wanted an old farmhouse remake

9:27 pm

i loved all three
9:27 pm

let me see if I can find a picture of it
9:27 pm
hurshy

which is quite unusual by this stage of a season
9:27 pm
meliae

no I dont watch that show they are too mean to the people
9:27 pm
Riverdance

hmm..... -later
9:28 pm
Riverdance

yes they are but I am so addicted to this show and it is the semi final this week
9:28 pm
hurshy

i still really feel like that lily girl and the lambert kid - alex? - are the big 'what ifs' of the season
9:29 pm
hurshy

i would def have liked to see more of those two
9:29 pm
Riverdance

I cant believe what these people do - they are just incredible - I have stood on my feet and clapped my hands for them and hooted ... you get the picture
9:29 pm
Riverdance

Adam Lambert was my favorite from the beginning and still is between the two.
9:30 pm
hurshy

no i don't mean adam lambert from last year
9:30 pm
Riverdance

Chris won but what have you heard from him - nothing!!!
9:30 pm
hurshy

i mean alex lambert the shy southern kid from this year
9:30 pm
hurshy

ADAM lambert is clearly the greatest singer of all the seasons
9:31 pm
Riverdance

Adam Lambert already has a record out. So what if his first single was a little out there - that was the video not the music. His second single is very good too. Just think back to the days of Ruben and Clay - look who made it - number 2 - woooohoooo.
9:31 pm
hurshy

but ALEX lambert could have been an enjoyable contestant to have in the top twelve this year. though clearly it would have been confusing with the similar names!
9:32 pm
hurshy

do you remember him, momneedshelp? he had a mullet.
9:34 pm
Riverdance

I cant remember who you are referring to - I remember the name because it was so close - BUT being such an Idol fan if I cant remember, her may not have been memorable enough.
9:35 pm

9:35 pm
Riverdance

there is a slight remembrance there
9:36 pm

sad to say the mullets are back again - boo boo hoo
9:36 pm

you MUST remember lily, with her practically white hair and her extremely funky style
9:36 pm

well shoot here is a picture but this one is done in nautical look, but it is the same kit, http://www.cptdave.com/houselit.html
9:36 pm

Oh Lily with that sweet voice and cool hair - I voted for Lily
9:37 pm
meliae

to the left a bit and below you can see links to see the interior of his
9:37 pm
hurshy

she and alex lambert went home the same week, just missing the top 12
9:37 pm
hurshy

and if you think about some of the dingleberries who DID make the top 12... sheesh.
9:38 pm
Riverdance

I know - I thought Lily should have made it over some that did
9:38 pm
Riverdance

sorry to say I dont remember names from the first 24
9:39 pm
Riverdance

my old brain can only handle so much - gives emptying mindless stuff but too much new stuff coming in - its a constant process
9:41 pm
hurshy

but even the top 12, think who beat out lily... tim urban! paige miles! she was a DISASTER.
9:41 pm
meliae

today I went shopping with my daughter at a discount clothing store, we were looking at blouses, I said "this stuff looks like stuff and old lady would wear" Then I cracked up laughing at myself. I am 52 LOL

9:42 pm

OK, SO, what do you think of our contestants - my favorite has always been Crystal, week after week after week. I Just love that gravely Janis type voice. But Lee is creeping up on me. What is a fan to do?????
9:42 pm
hurshy

they should both do well in careers regardless of the results and i like them both plus casey and others

oh you young ladies - I am right there with you.......I liked Tim Urban as a mother would - good voice for the back yard with friends - not hit show
9:44 pm
Minski

I don't like Casey at all. I haven't watched last night's or tonight's shows, but I keep hoping Casey gets voted off.
9:44 pm
hurshy

well, for ... dating ... if that were an option... i would choose casey!
9:44 pm
Minski

Don't tell me. Both kids are sick. I should be able to watch tomorrow.
9:45 pm
Riverdance

I dont know if I would even do that - little shifty for me!
9:45 pm
Minski

I think Casey is icky and greasy. Give me Colin Firth or Hugh Jackman any day over him. They are real men.

oh, i don't think he's shifty at all - didn't you see how he had bought his own little house (before being on the show) and was doing all the renovation himself? i think he's a good solid guy.

I want Crystal to win most def!
9:49 pm
hurshy

i think david cook is the strangest guy from idol in terms of attractiveness. when he's just standing there talking, he's just an average guy, nothing special, i don't find him attractive. but as soon as he starts to sing, he's unbelievably hot. then he stops and talks to ryan again and boom, it's gone.
9:49 pm
Minski

If I were a voter I would vote for Crystal.
9:50 pm
Riverdance

Mel -she has been my favorite ffrom the beginning
9:51 pm
Riverdance

there have been many idol zero's I have been a fan from season 1
9:51 pm
meliae

Mine too Mom, and to think she almost had to quit because of her diabetes
9:51 pm
Riverdance

have all cd's -
9:52 pm
Riverdance

she was real sick at the beginning and no one said why until just last week
9:52 pm
hurshy

she has also been my favorite from the beginning. particularly because i have felt that she looks like she would be a good singer, but not capable of all the things she is actually capable of, so then when you get her going and all of a sudden she's hitting notes so effortlessly that you wouldn't have thought she could reach...
9:52 pm
meliae

yes so true Hurs
9:53 pm
Riverdance

We ladies KNOW....
9:53 pm
hurshy

is the diabetes new? i thought once you got the hang of that disease it wasn't too hard to manage.
9:54 pm
hurshy

and does anyone else find it weird that her boyfriend looks like a prep/jock? she has dredlocks, for crying out loud! how did those two get together?
9:55 pm
Minski

She needs a new hairstyle for sure.
9:56 pm
hurshy

i don't object to her hair, i'm just mystified by the combination.
9:56 pm
Riverdance

this is only my opinion - but I think she just found out about the diabetes - she was very sick at beginning of show - and comments made about a medical issue - dreds have been there for a while - taking care of baby - boyfriend is new...
9:57 pm
hurshy

i thought the boyfriend was not that new - heck she was singing one week about wanting him to marry her
9:58 pm
Minski

Goodnight all *poof*
9:59 pm
Riverdance

same guy? we will find out soon enough with any decision
9:59 pm
Riverdance

good night Min
10:00 pm
hurshy

the diabetes is NOT new, i just found online article that says she was diagnosed in 2nd grade.
10:00 pm
meliae

yes, I knew about the diabetes long time ago
10:01 pm
meliae

atleast over a month ago
10:01 pm
Riverdance

I need to rewatch my recordings to see whats up - most times I speed through them - record because kids have games and speed through because kids have games - so I may very well be wrong - dont want to upset
10:02 pm
hurshy

well yes but what i meant was, her difficulties early in the competition, it's not like she was just being diagnosed with the disease at that point. so i am wondering why she was having trouble managing it if she had had it for so long.
10:02 pm
Riverdance

a month ago is after the season started - that doesnt give much time to aclimate to show and disease
10:03 pm
hurshy

the boyfriend IS relatively new, within a few months of her being on idol, and is named tony. her son's father is also named tony but is a different tony.
10:03 pm
hurshy

mom - i think you missed where i said crystal was diagnosed with diabetes in second grade.
10:04 pm
Riverdance

I havent done any research so dont know the time line - I dont think the disease is that long in the knowing - even a couple months is not long for diabetes
10:04 pm
Riverdance

I dont know what the grades are
10:05 pm
Riverdance

to me any grade would be bad
10:05 pm
hurshy

second grade, in school. as in, she was seven years old.
10:05 pm
Riverdance

***laughing while holding breath**
10:05 pm
Riverdance

*just spit**
10:06 pm
hurshy

there aren't grades in diabetes. there are types I and II, but that's whether you get it as a kid (type I) or as an adult (type II). at least that was the distinction historically - now that the american diet is so terrible, more kids are being diagnosed with type II or "adult onset" diabetes.
10:06 pm
Riverdance

I thought you meant like stage 4 cancer - you know grade 2 diabetes
10:07 pm
Riverdance

see what I know......... nothing.....
10:08 pm
hurshy

funny misunderstanding though!
10:08 pm
Riverdance

I need to link up with you more to expand my knowledge base hurshy
10:08 pm
hurshy

anyway, yeah, crystal has type I and has known about it since she was a second grade student, is that better? :)
10:08 pm
Riverdance

differences between our countries maybe???
10:09 pm
hurshy

nope, i'm american - just a wannabe brit.
10:09 pm

Type I requires insulin and involves low as well as high blood sugar
10:09 pm
LeslieAnn

10:09 pm
Riverdance

I dont know but maybe its getting worse - or maybe they are using it for the show! Either way, she has a good voice.
10:09 pm
