lol, andree. what i have to look forward to

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

bad sinus year here, too.. LOL sounds like the definition of a 4 year old

2:37 am

grannyrose

dee, my sinusitis was asymptomatic, the infection is now in the bones. long term AB's for me

2:37 am

Andree

its all in good fun, it appears the neighbourhood with their dogs will be in for afternoon tea

2:38 am

grannyrose

well all i can say is, her mum must be a saint.

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

a friend of mine had to have surgery this spring due to infection in bones... I don't think I am far behind...

2:38 am

Andree

thats not good rose, glad at least now its being treated

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

tough to shake... ditto what andree said...

2:38 am

grannyrose

dee, surgery could be in the future if the AB's don't work

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

her surgery went really well and she is doing great right now

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

said she feels better now than she has in years

2:40 am

Andree

shame to have sinus problems in winter, what will it be like when the summer comes and all the wattle etc is out

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

summer here... exactly what has happened to me... have been plugged up since May

2:42 am

grannyrose

went to an ENT seminar last saturday, apparently the bacteria form biocells which are impervious to AB's. when the biocell breaks down, you have to have the AB's on board to get the little suckers. at least that's the theory

2:42 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

2:43 am

grannyrose

hence the long term AB's, and i mean long term....5-17 weeks. i'm in week 4

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

are you feeling any better?

2:44 am

Andree

wont they cause problems of their own over such a long period

2:45 am

grannyrose

feeling heaps better, temp. in low 37C, and yes andree, am on inner health caps, and herin suggested cranny caps as well.

2:46 am

Andree

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

Ooh, just got my first 8 :-) Glad things are a bit better.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

and I contacted the gendarmes and told them that the "dog family" was trying to get me to drop the complaint and they said, even if I wanted to, it was in the hands of the prosecutor. Yay for that

3:59 am

rubyfoo

yay for the 8!

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Now that's good. Takes it out of your hands.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

glad you are on the mend, granny!!! {{rose}}

4:10 am

grannyrose

thanx ruby * poof *

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

No, not tomorrow, going to visit group of friends in Surrey. We get together about twice a year and take turns in each other's houses. When they come here, they stay, but when I go there I go for the (long) day, unless I go on to see son in London. Going to see son and family on 20th for the weekend so this time will stay in London, go and see a show probably, then go and see son next day, go back to stay in central London and catch a train in the morning. Will make life a bit easier.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

busy sally! I don't have the energy for all that

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

(son and wife are very disorganised so if I stay with them I tend to miss the train!)

4:11 am

rubyfoo

visitors start coming here, though, toward the end of this month and a lot in September.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

and housekeeper is mostly on holiday this month, so lots more work than usual

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

Will visitors be OK, with husband still poorly?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

must *poof*

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

How often does housekeeper come in?

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

OK, bye ruby

4:13 am

rubyfoo

they are mostly his friends, from US and South Africa, so, hopefully, it will cheer him up. And the nurse will be coming for 3 months, after Friday, only every other day!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

normally, she comes for 4 hrs, 4 days/wk. Now, she's coming once or twice a week and then, not at all.

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

ooh, lucky ruby. Would like housekeeper!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

this house gets too dirty for me to clean it as the dogs are in and out all day and bring with them tons of dirt!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

my feeling is that husband's previous wives (3!) all had housekeepers and cooks, so why shouldn't I?

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

no cook, however, he isn't rich enough (see 3 wives above hahah)

4:15 am

rubyfoo

cooking, gardening and dogs are about all I can handle

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Are previous wives all still alive?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

yes! and he still corresponds with the last one....totally weird, but I think she's hoping I'll die and she'll move here

4:16 am

rubyfoo

fat chance!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I'll try and stay healthy for spite!

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

But it's your house isn't it? Presumably if you went first your husband would be out on his ear and it would go to your family!!?? :-)

4:17 am

rubyfoo

would you like some tomatoes? I have so many, from only 5 plants, that I have begun freezing them and giving them away

4:18 am

rubyfoo

that's true except that my son is such a softie, that he would never kick Burt out!

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

You'll have to send me a virtual one. (Ducks)

4:18 am

rubyfoo

hahah they are sweet and delicious, warm from the garden

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

dribble.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

the ones in the stores all year are not worth eating

4:19 am

rubyfoo

now, really *poof*

4:19 am

rubyfoo

and I make tabouleh [sp?] with tomatoes, mint, chives and parsley, all from my garden *proud*

4:20 am

rubyfoo

and the fish, BTW, say hello to Sally, waving their fancy tails and dorsals

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby.

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

you must have got some brownie points for the nets!

4:26 am

herinfernallady

Hi. I just saw how many words HOLLY CRAP

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

It's a really really easy grid so far herin, very few odd words.

4:26 am

sprite

morning all

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

Hi sprite.

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

No K words today :-)

4:27 am

sprite

hi Sally, no, easy peasy ;)

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

Why do you hate them so? You have the letter K in Dutch, don't you?

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

In fact, I would think that most of our K words are derived from Dutch or similar.

4:29 am

sprite

simply because I cannot find them. And yes, I can usually find 10 or more dutch K words. But no english ones.

4:31 am

lynxxx

4:36 am

herinfernallady

There is a grid? not really thinking Hi lynxx an Sprite and Sally

4:36 am

I've got to go to your 'favourite' place later, Hydra - the dentist. Just a check-up, I hope.

5:30 am

hydra

I hope, too. My dentist aka The Brute has left a sharp bit that I keep cutting my tongue on. It's hard to talk at the moment. Good luck!

5:31 am

hydra

Must ring you sometime for a chat, Jac. When's a good time?

5:31 am

Jacula

My dentist left a sharp bit one time, he covered it for me when I went back a couple of days after we a so4 tongue.

5:32 am

Jacula

Hydra - about 1-2ish, (afternoon) is good, but not today.

5:32 am

hydra

I almost used that word. Oops! The Brute left me with a sharp bit for two whole years. Two years of tongue ulcers. He wouldn't do anything about it. OK, I'm out that time tomorrow, so Thurs or Fri.

5:33 am

Jacula

Okay, Hydra. Looking forward speaking to you again.

OK so go figure this idiot idea. Young men are drinking way too much alcohol. SO lets increase the tax. Or maybe they should not have the stupid high cost of the premix

7:45 am

Mom

7:46 am

ardilla

hi trif *hugs glad primo's okay

7:51 am

herinfernallady

Trifs can teh car be fixeed?? HI Stef

7:51 am

Trifioso

It's because he is such a good driver that he is okay. He was driving my old jeep, which was on it's absolute last legs. He was driving down a main road, and the driver's side front wheel just....came off. The lug nuts had rusted through, and the entire tire, hub, wheel, everything just popped off. He said he "remembered his physics" and angled the car hard to the right, which let him get to the shoulder safely, and THEN he let the car sink on to the empty side.

7:51 am

7:57 am

Trifioso

okay. ardilla, I have to ask - what is a "mock" physical fitness test? do you pretend to do jumping jacks?

7:59 am

ardilla

it's one that the score doesn't count; it's to see where i am fitness-wise

7:59 am

ardilla

the air force has fitness tests 2x a year, and the standards changed last month

7:59 am

8:08 am

carleekat

i justr want my pool to get used

8:08 am

herinfernallady

yes

8:08 am

Trifioso

primo put photos on his FB page...you can see the car for your very self.

8:09 am

herinfernallady

It looks like a busted wheel no body damage. Unless you need to replace the whole shaft thing then sadly you are shafted (maybe someone will buy car for parts)

8:10 am

Trifioso

leaking brake line, rear disc shot, front axle cracked, lug nuts gone, rear suspension compromised....etc.

8:10 am

herinfernallady

ahh then sadly the car is :(

8:10 am

Mom

Trif, it would seem like your ex would want the children to be safe and would cough up the money to see that they are

8:11 am

Trifioso

you would think that, but no. he spent all the college money on his house, and now he is being wicked stingy with the money we had left over, as he knows there isn't enough for college now.

8:12 am

Mom

oh Trif, that is not right. What will the children do now for college

8:12 am

NonoNanette

Trif, how heartless of him to use the college funds for his own use. I hope he has to pay a huge tax penalty for doing that

8:12 am

Mom

I hope you got a share of all that money

8:12 am

herinfernallady

The sad thing is Trifs your kid was being sensible. My friends brother got a new car at the value of $6 000 after totaling his last one being stupid and driving unregistered and unlicenced

8:12 am

Trifioso

take out loans. which i was dead set against.

8:13 am

Mom

oh Trif, so sorry

8:13 am

herinfernallady

Mutters something about mr hateful being made to use his 401k for the kids

8:13 am

Mom

agreed Herin

8:14 am

ardilla

*sends flying monkeys to retrieve funds from the big meanie

8:14 am

Trifioso

i am not sure what to tell the car insurance company. if they rule that primo was in an "accident" his rates will go up. but if I don't tell them, we won't get any money for the car, which we prob wouldn't any way, but what now? and how do you junk a car, anyway? are there people who will take it?

8:14 am

herinfernallady

screw the flying monkeys sends you my size 10 steel cap boots to kick his butt for you

8:15 am

Trifioso

I am not at all concerned with mr. hate's fate. Karma is on it for me, and I trust she will do right by me.

8:15 am

herinfernallady

First of all there is people that take junkers. You could always look on say EBay at what junkers go for or um speak to a wreakers

8:15 am

NonoNanette

yes trif junk yard most generaly will pay for junk cars and haul them away, altho the price they give will be low

8:15 am

herinfernallady

But Trifs I want to hurry karma up and have his dogma run over.

8:16 am

amelu0218

It may be covered under comprehensive, which should not raise rates... and yes, there are people who will come haul the vehicle away for scrap.

8:16 am

ardilla

oooh... good idea, herin...I have size 6.5 steel toed boots

8:16 am

Trifioso

thanks you guys. babble fixes everything, doesn't it!

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Hang on if the wheel just feel off is that an insurance issue as to whether the car was in an accident as opposed to it just up and pooed itself?

8:17 am

Trifioso

the cop who came to the site said he wasn't listing it as an accident. I think I will just tell the company we decided to get rid of the car, as it is not worth fixing. can't be the first time they heard that, right?

8:17 am

herinfernallady

true

8:17 am

ardilla

i guess not

8:18 am

amelu0218

should not be considered an accident but the adjuster will take into account the age/sex of the driver and may not give the benefit of doubt...

8:18 am

Trifioso

and I don't think that is a lie, either. it wasn't in an accident. it did just poo on itself, and we did decide to junk the car.

8:18 am

ardilla

esp, with ol5 ones

8:18 am

NonoNanette

insurance companies are so fickle. If you feel they wont give you much of anything for it then I wouldnt report it Trif

8:18 am

amelu0218

insurance will only pay if you had full coverage vice liability only...

8:19 am

Trifioso

the last mechanic who fixed it for us (last week mind you, so that was money well spent!) told us not to waste money fixing it again. I can certainly tell the insurance company that.

8:19 am

Trifioso

besides, the deductible for the car is probably 10 x the value of the car anyway.

8:19 am

Trifioso

oooh! poor emo just jumped off the bed and LOAFED herself on a nearby chair. poor kitty!

8:20 am

herinfernallady

would you get a profit reporting it to the insurance?

8:20 am

NonoNanette

I had a windshild crack for cold stress one time, insurance paid to replace it but I ended up paying for it in the long run because of rate increase and loss of safe driver discount

8:20 am

ardilla

why isn't voom a word? motorcycles say it all the time

8:20 am

Trifioso

i think it's vroom, ardilla

8:20 am

herinfernallady

I did a grand worth of damage to himselfs car thank gods for insurance

8:21 am

ardilla

8:22 am

carleekat

why is mooer not in the grid... everyone knows a cow is a mooer

8:22 am

Trifioso

LOLO nono -- you remind me....my BF in high school's mom had a little round crack in her windshield, and she knew she wouldn't pass inspection with it, so she mixed up some mayo, some dill, and some other stuff and made fake bird poop to cover the crack. and she passed!

8:22 am

12:09 pm

Dorens

add on to the le4/7 above it

12:10 pm

Dorens

dunno ruby, but now that they're watching him closely he's not doing so well, is he?

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

I hope not; I think he's just too old!

12:10 pm

cybernan

maybe I'm on the wrong track -- just assumed the first 4 letters would be the lo 4/7

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

I've started buying gardening mags instead of gossip ones - it's official I am middle aged!!

12:17 pm

stidmama

:-D yes, I guess so. I quite relieved...

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

I did that for two years before we moved here, for help in designing this garden

12:17 pm

stidmama

well done Katie! next step: listening to gardening shows (as I am doing while I babble)

12:18 pm

Dorens

they don't call it reading anymore here stid, it is "literacy"!

12:18 pm

KatieMcG

I'm hoping to stay strong on that one for a few more years! I don't 'do' flowers so it has to be capable of being eated if it want's a fair chance

12:18 pm

stidmama

truthfully, is IS "literacy" but the actual title of the endorsement is "reading" Washington is a little slow to update terminology... I think because it tends to freak parents out.

um... Katie McG is getting gardening magazines?

12:42 pm

stidmama

that's pretty new....

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know but it was a rescue dog, so his past is unknown and it's a difficult breed from what I've read, must be trained from puppyhood

12:43 pm

carleekat

hmmmm...hey i did some housework... and i really want to bake something amazign with blueberries but i havent found the right recipe.... i want it to scream the flavour of blueberry

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

he doesn't have rabies, though

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

how about a crumble, carlee, served warm with sweet cream?

12:44 pm

westford

so the rabies shots were for a precaution?

12:44 pm

stidmama

wow. housework! *has to sit down and rest just thinking of that*

12:44 pm

glad it doesn't have rabies.

i KNOW stiddy... scrubbed downstairs bathroom..and downstairs hall...

12:45 pm

I don't have blueberries, but could make one with blackberries straight from the garden, stidmama

12:45 pm

stidmama

12:45 pm

carleekat

ruby...i've had crumbles and buckles....and pies...not cutting it... i just want something... more...cant explain

12:46 pm

oh! see? I have blackberries in the driveway! I could make a crumble (with minimal effort if the boys do the picking)

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

"essence of blueberries" hmm -- thinking

12:46 pm

westford

wine?

12:46 pm

stidmama

a blueberry clafouti would be lovely, carlee, and not much more work than a crumble

12:46 pm

how about a vodka/blueberry smush?

12:47 pm

cbr1965

I have three rescue dogs and one of them is the most submissive dog I had ever seen. One day, however, he went after a neighbor. Didn't bite or anything but it was totally out of character so you can't be too careful. Then again my pekepoo (years ago) sought out and bit my two year old requiring 8 stitches in his face. Never bit anyone before or since so all dogs are unpredictable.

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

it's a cross between a cake and a flan and has fresh fruit, usually cherries, in it

12:47 pm

stidmama

blueberry wine cooler?

12:48 pm

that is so true, cbr, one doesn't know with dogs.

12:48 pm

google it west... i find them eggy... last one i had was pear..i've had peach and cherry too...they are ok

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

cbr, I am all for rescue dogs, but this one weighs about 100 lbs

12:49 pm

Riverdance

float fresh blueberries with lemonade and vodka - oops not supposed to be here

12:49 pm

stidmama

My lucky is a rescue, and really generally very marshmallowy -- let's face it, he's a shy dog -- but I have to be so careful when workmen come to the house. He really doesn't like certain types of men (which speaks to his background I think)

12:49 pm

westford

okay carlee lol

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

and the people are sort of strange. If they don't put the dog down, I think the villagers will go after them with pitchforks

12:49 pm

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

blueberries with cut up white peaches and cream, of course

12:50 pm

cbr1965

Oh, I didn't think you were saying anything bad about rescue. I was actually agreeing since one of mine that is always submissive did that. And any dog that is 100 pounds needs to be watched really carefully regardless of where they came from.

12:50 pm

stidmama

I think "voom" should count as a word. the sound that a very very fast jet makes when it is close to the ground....

12:51 pm

oh i will figure it out...likely just make muffins tho..,sigh>

12:51 pm

carlee -- how would lemon cupcakes with blueberries taste?

12:51 pm

pr6 - Pr* that means before plus the first three letters of what your arms and legs are.

12:51 pm

stidmama

oh. you're probably right ruby...

12:52 pm

carleekat

yummmm...i usually put lemon in wiht blueberry as it enhances the bb flavour

12:52 pm

westford

I'm back from my clafouti lesson. Sounds really good but the recipe I looked at suggested an asbestos mat..wonder how old that was?

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

I think that inbred dogs (like mine) frequently have many more problems than rescue dogs. But this woman works for the SPA (like ASPCA) and should have known better. After all, why would someone have abandoned a beautiful big dog like that?

12:52 pm

12:53 pm

stidmama

coffee.... oh! my boys brought me tea! *reaches for now cool enough cup*

12:53 pm

carleekat

edgy

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

how about just blueberries and cream?

12:53 pm

jessmom

It could have been economic reasons ruby. Nevertheless they should have been more vigilant with it around strangers.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

obsessing about sweet cream!

12:54 pm

stidmama

carlee, you're a long way away from me, right? middle of the continent. *thinking* I suppose that's too far for a visit.

12:54 pm

carleekat

should have been muzzled when outside..that is the result of my neighbours dog..after it bit me whiost mauling my friends little spitz

12:54 pm

westford

stiddie are you ill or just being pampered?

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think so, the woman works as a volunteer

12:54 pm

carleekat

i am fairly close to either detroit or toronto

12:54 pm

stidmama

otherwise, you could come over here, I could get up and we could be restless getting my office to rights! and talking... and waiting for our goodies to bake.

12:54 pm

stidmama

it's a very cool day today, so this may be my last chance for baking for a while.

12:55 pm

carleekat

a bit far stiddy

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

evidently, she can control the dog but her husband cannot

12:55 pm

carleekat

nice and warm here....

12:55 pm

stidmama

I am being pampered. I used to give myself a day a week, but realized this morning that I have now gone about a year without a day of real rest.

12:55 pm

westford

ruby doesn't sound like he even tried

12:55 pm

SeaSpray

VERY warm here, almost 100

12:55 pm

westford

well then you deserve it !!

12:55 pm

carleekat

is lovely here

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

no, he dropped the leash when it lunged at husband

12:56 pm

westford

some people !!

12:56 pm

Mr Bob

Good afternoon friends

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

the gendarmes are really impressive! more like marines then policemen

12:56 pm

westford

hi bob

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

hi mr. bob

12:56 pm

carleekat

i had about 3 years of no rst until this summer..enjoying my summer...

12:56 pm

jessmom

I just mean maybe the previous owner surrendered the dog due to money. Big dogs eat a lot.

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

than* duh

12:57 pm

stidmama

thanks, west. It feels good to give myself full permission to lounge about for a change. I think I will do this again for the next two weeks also, after that, no chance to breathe until close to December.

12:57 pm

carleekat

hi mr bob

12:57 pm

stidmama

hey bob

12:57 pm

cbr1965

Seriously, a rescue person should follow their own advice about dogs to keep people and the dogs safe.

12:57 pm

stidmama

yes carlee, you had such a long haul. (((Hugs))) I am glad you have time and space to rest a little now.

12:57 pm

SeaSpray

bbl...

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

aah, I thought you meant it the other way. Maybe, but to buy an expensive big dog like that in the first place seems odd. I don't know, really, I just like chow chows

12:58 pm

stidmama

later Sea ((hugs))

12:58 pm

cbr1965

I like them too but they are known for being unpredictable as a breed.

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

bye seaspray

12:58 pm

stidmama

oh, I have been here for an HOUR! LOL almost to halfway.

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

chows?

12:58 pm

cbr1965

I really like their black tongues!

12:58 pm

stidmama

I think I will get halfway and then go check my emails and such.

12:59 pm

stidmama

there is a chow in our neighborhood that on occasion roams... it's very skittish, so we just leave it alone.

12:59 pm

jessmom

Chows have a reputation for being biters. I like them, and their black tongues too.

12:59 pm

carleekat

it was a chow that bit me that is now muzzled

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

"our" breeder, destroys any puppies that show ANY aggressive tendencies. We've had 5 chows from there, outside of Toronto, and they've all been wonderful and affectionate. They're good guard dogs as far as notifying us if someone is at the gate, but they've never bitten.

1:00 pm

redturtlehead

Afternoon

1:00 pm

stidmama

also, sometimes a black pot-belly pig gets loose....

1:00 pm

westford

hi red

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

oh my! I feel bad for you carlee! They have very big teeth

1:01 pm

carleekat

it wasnt a bad bite thankfully...it got out of its yard and ata

1:01 pm

redturtlehead

Ok I am saying hello but I do seem to be getting the old chog, so until it catches up, hello!

1:01 pm

stidmama

but the one that worries me is when the dwarf australian sheepdog gets out. She's very old, completely deaf. and was mean when she was young. She is a little scary, though no bigger than a large cat...

1:01 pm

stidmama

hey red!

1:01 pm

carleekat

and attacked my girls friends spitz...the spitz needed surgery..ruptured intestine and stomach

1:01 pm

stidmama

oh, that poor puppy!

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

but we have found them very gentle; I think it depends how they are bred and then how they are treated. They are unforgiving and independent, much like cats

1:02 pm

carleekat

i hauled that stupid ass dog off the wee thing... ( broke a couple manicured nails whilst at it..i was pissed)

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

but I would trust them with my life!

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

that's a bad story, carlee! I'm sorry

1:02 pm

stidmama

there. just passed halfway.

1:02 pm

stidmama

not bad for an hour's play.

1:03 pm

carleekat

but i just grabbed 2 hands at the scruff and hauled... and it bit me...spun head around and bit me... I kicked it in the chest and by then the owner arrived

1:03 pm

westford

gj stid !!

1:03 pm

carleekat

pompom shake for stiddy

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

that is terrible!

1:03 pm

cbr1965

I have one rescue, stray really, that we got as a puppy that looks kind of rottweilerish and she is completely docile and friendly . Only dogs that ever bit me were a German Shepherd and a Welsh Terrier.

1:03 pm

carleekat

shit happens..usually around me

1:04 pm

stidmama

I am glad you were there carlee... I was frozen when lucky went after a raccoon a few weeks ago. the coons around here DO have rabies, and I just ... couldn't chance getting in the wya.

1:04 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhh chog has caught up with me, I have 290 left, I just woke up.

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

my husband got bitten once before when a yellow lab attacked our old male chow, Rufus, and he tried to get between them

1:04 pm

stidmama

hello again red!

1:04 pm

redturtlehead

the dog that chewed me up was a Chihuahua. Not fond of them.

1:04 pm

carleekat

wildcat17

help for top I please

1:05 pm

carleekat

hi feather

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

I guess, in the end, you have to know the dog and the dog has to have owner who control it. From what I've read, most dog bits are from iniature poodles!

1:05 pm

carleekat

i am not liking this grid...

1:05 pm

carleekat

kje will love it

1:05 pm

westford

hi feather

1:05 pm

stidmama

I have not been bitten by a dog, but a muscovi duck tried to get me once when I was very little. Mother has film (moving pictures, no less) of my dad picking me up and getting me out of the way.

1:05 pm

cbr1965

Believe it or not, we had a rabid raccoon go after some dogs we were keeping for a friend in our fenced yard. Dogs were bloody, killed the raccoon and animal control didn;t care enough to check it out. For dogs, studies show one set of rabies shots is enough to protect them for life. They just keep making you get them every year.

1:05 pm

jessmom

No bites here, grew up training dogs in 4-h club, cocker spaniel, dachshund, later showed a bloodhound and a german shepherd

1:05 pm

featherbee

oh, i heard someone else said it was good.. that's right, i like grids that you don't

1:05 pm

redturtlehead

SO far, I do like it, but I am now to 267.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

that thing I just wrote had so many mistakes, it was like English wasn't my first language lol

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

I was bit while at work at the Emerg. vet clinic, sooo.

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

wildcat17

ooh all those candles are so pretty

1:06 pm

carleekat

my son was bit by a goose...i kicked it int he chest too when it bit him trying to get his french fries... stupid canadian geese bold as can be and mean

1:07 pm

featherbee

the yappy dogs instinctively scare me more than the big dogs. yeah, stupid goose. i'm very very respectful of them now.

1:07 pm

stidmama

I don't like anything that makes "yipping" sounds for no apparent reason...

1:07 pm

featherbee

i have a scar in the web between my thumb and pointer from it.

1:07 pm

carleekat

i can go back to my candle...hol don

1:07 pm

wildcat17

yes geese who are fed by humans are frequently aggressive and they will bite to get what they want

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

now I'm really laughing! You kicked the goose!!!! I love it

1:07 pm

stidmama

*decides to wear a breastplate around carlee*

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

jessmom

Now we know what to protect when Carlee is provoked.

1:08 pm

redturtlehead

I was lucky in that my little dog scooter, who looked like a brown Toto, was not a barky terrier, he was awesome.

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

I think that should become an "known" expression, "kicking the goose", it could mean telling someone off.....or

1:09 pm

carleekat

within 12 hours of arriving at camp i had removed with tweazers over 12 ticks from the girls

1:20 pm

stidmama

hm. no, I think actually it was a Hobo spider... much worse than a wolf spider. but it was FREAKING HUGE! WAY bigger than Hobos are supposed to be I think...

1:20 pm

Ticks are nasty too - and the tiny ones are hard to find. Yuck.

ticks are disgusting when the dogs get them and one got on me. We have a special "tick hook".

Yay nan !!

YAY nan!

the tiny ones are the ones to worry about too...

anyone want clues before I leave, or are all of you finished and just chatting?

yeap..those are the ones i had to remove...

1:22 pm

stidmama

well done ruby!

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

fortunately, the dogs' coats are so thick that the ticks only land on their faces and are visible

1:22 pm

cybernan

we used to heat the end of a needle -- ticks jump out when you touch them with it and it's easier to pick them off

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

I never finish

1:23 pm

westford

covering them with vaseline works too

1:23 pm

stidmama

that is good ruby. we don't actually have many ticks around here, but once in a while I find one on Lucky and have to get the vet to take care of it.

1:23 pm

stidmama

oh! I could smother with vasline no problem

1:23 pm

if you have the right hook, it's easier to take it out than to get the dog into the car to go to the vet

1:24 pm

and cheaper, too

1:24 pm

do guinea fowl eat them jess?

1:26 pm

carleekat

i think... b/c all the racoons died last year from dysentry... the ticks are looking for hosts

1:26 pm

jessmom

yes, they were recommended to a friend who had a problem on their property

1:27 pm

stidmama

didn't know raccoons could get dysentery

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

I'm afraid of raccoons because of rabies and they can be so bold. No raccons here although there is a Fr word, "raton laveur", rat that washes its hands

1:27 pm

a random meet at the Olympia Farmer's market, and then a reservation at the little italian place across the street from the market (so we have a place that is either dry if raining or cool if sunny).

1:45 pm

Soodle

1:45 pm

1:46 pm

Riverdance

1:47 pm

stidmama

1:47 pm

Riverdance

I took some time unpaid and some time as vacation when Keith was in the hospital those 3 times. Just a bad year for future expenses

1:47 pm

stidmama

we can also use the wifi from the coffee shop that is nearby...

1:48 pm

stidmama

I find that if I drink strong coffee or espresso I am not so nervous around people.

1:48 pm

carleekat

what to be nervous about

1:48 pm

stidmama

it's okay river, there will be other meet-ups. I think last year was the first in several that the Vancouver Island babblers and we didn't get together...

1:48 pm

Soodle

Lol Stid. I find that wine has the same effect on me....

1:48 pm

Riverdance

you nervous stid - wouldnt have thought that

1:48 pm

stidmama

PEOPLE carlee... they terrify me.

1:49 pm

Riverdance

hmmm - wine

1:49 pm

Riverdance

must be an excited nervous

1:49 pm

carleekat

but u know us all

1:49 pm

stidmama

It was babbling that made me confident enough to go out in public again actually... I practice on you folk and then practice on in-person folk.

1:49 pm

Soodle

You serious, Stiddy?

1:49 pm

redturtlehead

ooooh, I did it, I completed the F. boy there are an awful lot of D words.

1:49 pm

stidmama

very serious soodles.

1:50 pm

stidmama

I love to teach, but social situations are just awful for me. takes me hours to unwind enough to think clearly afterward.

1:50 pm

stidmama

I am okay in the moment generally... but it drains all my energy.

1:50 pm

Riverdance

babblers are a cool bunch and will help you through anything stid

1:50 pm

Soodle

Oh my. That must be very difficult.

1:50 pm

redturtlehead

I have similar problems Stid, no issues at work, but social situations can be awkward and very stressful...

1:50 pm

stidmama

yes. but jmc's friend Les doesn't babble.... *sigh*

1:51 pm

stidmama

(((red))) thanks for letting me know I am not alone!

1:51 pm

Soodle

In my teens, I was PAINFULLY shy, I blushed if anybody said boo to me. Then I discovered make-up. I still blushed, but nobody noticed, and I gained confidence. Weird, but true.

1:51 pm

redturtlehead

Not at all. In work I always know what I am supposed to do, some social situations, especially daitng, things ar enot extremely clear.

1:51 pm

stidmama

I always tend to think no one will understand. but I trust you folk enough to tell you.

1:52 pm

stidmama

sounds like a fine solution soodles!

1:52 pm

Soodle

'Cept now, I am addicted to make-up. Wouldn't be caught dead without it...

1:52 pm

Riverdance

I used to hide behind my glasses in public speaking situations

1:52 pm

stidmama

funny thing, I can get up and sing in front of people, I can speak in front of them, lead programs and services... but TALK to them? you've got to be kidding! LOL

1:52 pm

Riverdance

didnt really need to wear them but did if I was nervous

1:53 pm

stidmama

hm. glasses as a shield for "the evil eye" -- that's a thought!

1:53 pm

redturtlehead

SImilar Stid, I am an excellent public speaker, because again the situation is somewhat controlled....

1:53 pm

carleekat

ok...everone wear a blindfold when talking to stiddy

1:53 pm

Riverdance

I'm just the opposite - it takes all kinds - and here we are.....

1:54 pm

stidmama

rofl carlee!!!!

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

les is nice and very funny

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

i am shy too in social situations but I have learned to walk up and talk to people

1:54 pm

Riverdance

have Les start babbling - then stid can get to know her an will be fine at the meet

1:54 pm

Soodle

OK, Jmc - if Stid doesn't want him, send him this-a-way.....

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

i love to speak because i am in control

1:55 pm

stidmama

I am sure he is, jmc! BUT a) he's a man; b) he's the president of my college c) he doesn't babble d) he's TALL e) I don't know him. *sigh* AND I will be brave and meet him if he has time because I do one brave thing every day whether I need to or not.

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

uh soodle he is married -- he's the president of the college she is going to

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

what grade are you going to teach stiddie?

1:56 pm

Soodle

Oooh, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were match-making, Jmc. LOL

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

cause unless it is an all girls school. . . .

1:56 pm

stidmama

one time, I took the boys all the way up to Salt Spring Island by myself without my car. we rode the ferries as walk-on and figured out the public buses to cross vancouver island... and that's where flo and dilly and hetty and alan met us at the other side for a weekend of fun!

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

not this time soodle! lol

1:57 pm

stidmama

I can teach, jmc. LOL I can talk to fellow teachers (they're not men, exactly -- not in the professional environment). and middle school.

1:58 pm

4:13 pm

m9f9l

we're twins!

4:14 pm

Nef

LOL! I really don't want to be that young again! :-) Or are you just talking about the dr**ping in and out?

4:15 pm

m9f9l

dropping in and out. I doubt you're THAT much older than I

4:15 pm

westford

hi nef and m9

4:15 pm

Nef

hi west. How are you?

4:16 pm

westford

I'm good nef except for my chewie disaster

4:16 pm

lynxxx

Goodmorning all.

4:16 pm

westford

smoke is clearing now

4:16 pm

westford

hi lyn

4:16 pm

m9f9l

it's 2 in the afternoon here

4:16 pm

lynxxx

oh dear West

4:17 pm

Nef

that's the beauty of online friends, m9. We don't "see" each other with our eyes but connect with our minds

4:17 pm

lynxxx

How is your husband going Nef?

4:17 pm

m9f9l

of course I talk about my 4 yo, so everyone thinks I'm younger than I am.

4:18 pm

Nef

your chewie disaster? Smoke clearing? Are you taking cooking lessons from me when I was young?

4:18 pm

westford

lol nef I do feel like a new bride

4:18 pm

m9f9l

what's chewie?

4:19 pm

westford

had a cookbook from a wives' club and always meant to try the recipe..guess I shouldn't have

4:19 pm

m9f9l

ah!!

4:19 pm

westford

m9 they're called Texas Chewies kind of a brown sugar brownie

4:19 pm

westford

overflowed all over the oven

4:19 pm

m9f9l

love those little cookbooks...

4:19 pm

westford

the batter was good

4:19 pm

m9f9l

we had peanut butter blondies last night

4:20 pm

m9f9l

oh no!!!!

4:20 pm

westford

me too ( usually)

4:20 pm

Nef

lynxxx, DH is home again. We spent 7 hours in the ER last Friday and he's still dealing with back pain ("soft tissue swelling from the lumbar puncture" is pinching his nerves). But he can see a whole lot better and isn't hallucinating anymore

4:20 pm

m9f9l

well that's good Nef!! unless they were really good hallucinations??

4:20 pm

westford

oh dear nef gentle hugs

4:21 pm

m9f9l

hey...wait a minute.. is that what started all the drug talk earlier that I just saw the tail end of?

4:21 pm

m9f9l

of course I meant home and seeing better is good.. NOT back pain!

4:21 pm

lynxxx

what a relief about the sight & hallucinations! that was all too much too suddenly

4:23 pm

Nef

m9, they weren't good hallucinations. But they weren't terrible either. He thought there was graffitti all over our walls, and kept answering me when I wasn't talking. And he thought he saw an Amish wedding caravan on a main street (who even knows where *that* came from?!) and didn't believe us when he kept seeing kids playing where there weren't any, etc.

4:24 pm

m9f9l

interesting!

4:24 pm

Nef

The worst part was telling me to be careful driving and he'd shout "LOOK OUT!!"

4:24 pm

m9f9l

From Pennsylvania I bet.

4:24 pm

m9f9l

;-)\

4:26 pm

Nef

He's never been to Pennsylvania or anywhere near the Amish. He argued with me about seeing street rods, etc. too. Some of it was funny; but he got upset when we didn't see them too

4:27 pm

westford

was it his meds that caused the hallucinations?

4:27 pm

Nef

I'm so glad his sight is returning to his baseline now

4:27 pm

m9f9l

I just meant I bet that's where the caravan came from!LOL

4:28 pm

Nef

believe it or not; it wasn't med related! He had Optic Neuritis that didn't clear with the steroids and then corneal edema and a corneal scratch

4:28 pm

crosshair

reading back a bit nef,the computer has finally given human kind what it could not do on it,s own,communication and exchange of thoughts and ideas irregardless of status,wealth,race,creed or colour..we are just pure thought..kind of neat when you think about it...mm when crossy starts to wax poetic,it is time for his meds brb

4:29 pm

Nef

m9; that's a LONG way away

4:29 pm

Nef

What a lovely thought, crossy!

4:31 pm

westford

I agree

4:32 pm

westford

how did he scratch his cornea nef?

4:33 pm

Nef

he doesn't know or remember, west

4:33 pm

westford

happy things are a bit better

4:34 pm

crosshair

and m9,i would love the recepie for peanut butter blondes please:)))

4:35 pm

Nef

he has some memory problems too. But you're probably right; it's better to remember the good stuff

4:35 pm

crosshair

must be a pain to clean up afterwards though....

4:35 pm

m9f9l

ha!

4:36 pm

Nef

I'd like to know what the chewies are supposed to be like myself! ;-)

4:37 pm

crosshair

soirry nef..what happened to DH?

4:37 pm

m9f9l

Aiden made them. with choc chips. then served with ice cream and choc syrup!

4:41 pm

crosshair

my question is why even try to cook something that you have to go to extaordinary lengths to make palatable? lol

4:41 pm

Nef

that sounds very interesting. I would never have thought of that

4:41 pm

m9f9l

but don't ever eat my sister's lentil loaf!!! (a family story that will never die)

4:41 pm

Lizsark

Hey Crossy did you ever decide where to go on your trip? You were thinking of making it over here?

4:42 pm

crosshair

"Let breakers crash against the shore --
let rocks be rimed with sea and weed,
cliffs carven by the storm --
let calm becalm the deeps,
or wind appall the waves, and sting --
and sting --
nothing overweighs the poise of Sea and Stone.
The rocks and water-battery of Home endure.
We are the wanderers,
born to live,
and bold for going where the dreaming goes.

"Let world be wide beyond belief,
the ocean be as vast as time --
let journeys end or fail,
seaquests fall in ice or blast,
and wandering be forever. Roam --
and roam --
nothing tarnishes the poise of Sea and Stone.
The hearth and harborage of Home endure.
We are the wanderers,
born to sail,
and bold to go wherever dreaming goes."

8:00 pm

welki

if this had a private message feature, i'd send: hey, jellen, i know that everyone's probably been commenting on what's going on in your world right now. just want you to know that i care and will try to keep things light for now .. laughter is good medicine, too

8:02 pm

welki

and thus, welki kills the chat

8:02 pm

Jellen

Yes, it is, welki...I'm reading a Stephanie Plum mystery for that very reason...

8:02 pm

Minski

No Welki. You just said what we are all thinking. She needs us to make her laugh now.

8:03 pm

Dorens

no, you didn't. hi all. older sisters are terrific (since i am one), and at a time like this even if you aren't close, sisters are great. and yes welki

8:03 pm

welki

yeah well, hang on .. i have to google stephanie plum *LOL*

8:03 pm

stidgmere

I'm reading "Adrift in New York" 1907 or so. Horatio Alger. Never read it, I know why now.

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

Dorens

haha stidgmere. i'm reading atlas shrugged.. not really into it yet though

8:04 pm

Jellen

She gets herself into very funny jams...

8:04 pm

Good Enough

atlas shrugged! oy.

8:04 pm

stidgmere

I like Stefanie Plum, also. Atlas Shrugged I read years ago and didn't like it.

8:04 pm

welki

<-- is reading john irving's 'last night in twisted river'

8:05 pm

lynxxx

Alas Shrugged - that brings back memories - 40 years ago!

8:05 pm

Dorens

book club chose it, and i really don't want to... would like the new john irving though, i bet. and yes, stephanie plum in nice light reading... she has some funny characters there

8:05 pm

Good Enough

reading shadow divers - quite interesting

8:05 pm

JBV

hi doren - thought of you today - heard that edison is hiring back about 150 staff members, including 4 guidance counselors - any news from your district?

8:05 pm

stidgmere

We should write a book. using the Babble words as the clues or something.

8:05 pm

Dorens

yes, lynxxx... but 40 years ago i was 20, what did i know then??

8:05 pm

Jellen

Hi, lynxxx

8:06 pm

lynxxx

snap - so was I

8:06 pm

welki

i started atlas shrugged (when dinosaurs roamed the earth), but never finished ... worth digging out and trying again?

8:06 pm

brid

omg. i'm so tired. i read that as we should clue the words using book titles.

8:06 pm

brid

that's some mighty dyslexic reading i did there.

8:06 pm

lynxxx

hi Jellen ((hugs))

8:06 pm

Dorens

no news from my district, but i would be very surprised if i don't hear from them... guess they're waiting to find out just how much $$ our district will receive before they allot it.. but i really am getting anxious

8:06 pm

lbdawger

hi lynxxx, hi brid

8:06 pm

Good Enough

lol brid!

8:07 pm

welki

hi everyone who's just mosied in

8:07 pm

lbdawger

re-reading atlas shrugged might give you a different perspective than how you were thinking 40 years ago

8:07 pm

Dorens

you would think so, dawg!

8:08 pm

welki

hehehe ... yes, i think you might be right, dawg. my 'thinking' 40 years ago was a little skewed

8:09 pm

lbdawger

it certainly isn't a light summer read, tho

8:09 pm

welki

i have hit a babblewall with 130 left ... maybe i'm a little preoccupied :)

8:09 pm

Jellen

<--was six 40 years ago

8:09 pm

Dorens

jbv, i promise when i get my job back (fingers still crossed) it will appear in my profile, and everywhere else i can think of. And no, it really isn't and i am not picking it up... last book i read was the girl with the hornet's nest and I just couldn't put it down, so by comparison this one pales

8:09 pm

welki

just a wee babe

8:10 pm

stidgmere

so we'll read Atlas Shrugged and meet in a month to discuss it? Hmm could be fun. I'm up for it if that would be the payoff. I have 113 left and whose counting?

8:10 pm

Dorens

jellen is a show off!

8:10 pm

gremlinn

I was negative six 40 years ago.

8:10 pm

Dorens

stidgmere, that would be terrific

8:10 pm

welki

i could have baby-sat you kids *lol*

8:11 pm

Jellen

Pfft, grem!

8:11 pm

JBV

I just started the girl with the dragon tattoo - i'm loving it

8:11 pm

Dorens

my son is older than gremlinn

8:11 pm

lots of baby sitting done 40 years ago

8:11 pm

Dorens

oh you have lots of fun reading ahead of you j

8:11 pm

welki

i'll be starting girl/with after twisted river

8:11 pm

brid

i have never read it. but promise now to give a clue if anyone ever asks for an at5 using the book title.

8:12 pm

welki

hmmm ..looking for a T in the grid

8:12 pm

lbdawger

dragon tattoo was good, played with fire is even better and i haven't started hornets nest yet, but i'm banking on it being awesome

8:12 pm

welki

ohhh, i am such a moron. delete that post

8:12 pm

gremlinn

a T just right of center would have been quite nice

8:12 pm

Dorens

how does twisted river compare to other irving?
and hornet's nest was the best ever!!!

8:12 pm

lbdawger

good luck in finding one, welki

8:12 pm

8:22 pm

welki

^5 dawg

8:22 pm

welki

oh you, doren ... got me hooked on that greek yogurt last year! and sooo hard to find here

8:22 pm

Dorens

freeze them in a single layer (like on a cookie sheet), then pack them into ziplocks and they are just like fresh

8:22 pm

welki

when i was in jersey, i had my daughter drive me around to find some ... was worth every bit of the effort! yummmmm

8:23 pm

carleekat

i get balkan yoghurt... and from that..make my own

8:23 pm

8:28 pm

aknitter

Hi all, btw.

9:39 pm

m9f9l

hi jac!

9:40 pm

Jacula

I've got a couple of good words/terms for you all. Anyone got any idea what a bilateral periorbital haematoma is? I know, but I wonder if you do?

9:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

insofap = the material left around the edges of the bowl after you mixed something and poured it out

9:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jacula, a bruise in the area of the eye?

9:40 pm

Nef

I know! What have you been up to Jac?

9:41 pm

lbdawger

sounds like a black eye

9:41 pm

kje

yes, jac, i do - LOL

9:41 pm

Nef

2 black eyes

9:41 pm

Jacula

BTW - DO NOT put 'bilateral periorbital' into a Google search, like my son did, unless you want to see some very gory photos of the flesh-eating disease about this.

9:41 pm

lbdawger

oh yes, she did say bilateral

9:42 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ew!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Yep - a black eye. No, I haven't got one! Still struggling on with the foot/ankle/leg thing.

9:43 pm

m9f9l

ewwww!

9:43 pm

Jacula

I didn't want to see the pics, but my son insisted on waving his laptop in front of me.

It's a phobia about having your hair cut. Many of us might have this after a bad day at the hairdresser's.

That's it for now, m9. Did I interrupt you? Or did you mean you thought it would be more?

9:49 pm

kje

not disgusting at all... saliva is important to good oral hygeine

9:50 pm

kje

and in the department of body discharges... saliva is not the worst - LOL

9:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i once knew someone who seemed to make way more sliva than that, ew

9:50 pm

Jacula

kje - yes, but 2 swimming pools full of spit is not nice to contemplate.

9:50 pm

m9f9l

i meant I thought we would have made more saliva than that.

9:50 pm

lbdawger

considering what all is in a swimming pool that's the least of any concern

9:51 pm

Jacula

2 swimming pools' worth of snot is not nice - re the cold you might get in your life.

9:51 pm

m9f9l

oh! I have a great snot pic of gage!!!LOL

9:51 pm

kje

when my dad would have the grandkids over to swim, he would say, he put something in the pool that would turn their hands red if they peed in it

9:51 pm

m9f9l

nice...

9:51 pm

kje

of course they immediately all looked at their palms

9:51 pm

Jacula

Well, we could go on to the fact that when someone farts, it releases poo particles into the air that are then breathed in by others.

9:51 pm

kje

and we would laugh

9:52 pm

m9f9l

I took it at the beach during Tim's vacation..i was just now looking at it and cracking up

9:52 pm

Jacula

But this is a nice site, so we won't go there, despite what my kids (who are now grown-up) say.

9:52 pm

kje

any odor is partciles of the substance you are smelling... thus why you can smell it

9:52 pm

jac needs to get with nrkii... she loves this gross out stuff - LOL

9:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tests show that minute amounts of fecal material exist on pretty much everything you touch. ew again

9:53 pm

m9f9l

nice thought Jac. I am fascinated by the idea that we can perhaps be breathing a molecule that Jesus breathed...or that Plato peed, or Shakespear sneezed...

9:53 pm

Jacula

LOL about the pool.

9:53 pm

kje

she has something called the hypochondriacs handbook that lists all the weirdest diseases for every simple symptom... it is pretty funny

9:54 pm

m9f9l

you ever think about the fact that if you swim in a lake... you're swimming in the fishes toilet?

9:54 pm

Jacula

Ther is an old saying, 'You have to eat a bushel of dirt before you die' or something like that. Too much cleanliness and disinfectant etc., might make the natural immune system not worl.

Book Doctor Gwen

healthy immune system depends on building lots of antibodies which means touching a few germs now and again

9:57 pm

If you took every press report etc., about what you should and should not do seriously, you'd never live life and living life, with all its risks, is what life's all about.

7 or 8.... that means the teacher ruined you for fractions... and the distributive law of multiplication.....

10:06 pm

Jacula

I was a left-hander, born in '57, went to school at 4 years of age, when chalks and slates were still used in an old Victorian school. Some teachers tried rapping my hand with a rule to make me write with the 'correct' (right) hand. My Mother soon put them right about that!

10:07 pm

phew! you could have been made a stutterer

10:08 pm

Jacula

fractions, unless they are even ones, confuse me. Percentages, the same. I did get the hang of algebra, because it used letters. I was better at long muliplication than short.

10:09 pm

Jacula

mixi - I have a tee-shirt that has that logo on it.. 'Lefthanders are the only ones in their right minds'.

10:09 pm

Jacula

m9 - fortunately, my mother made sure that didn't happen to me (the stuttering).

10:09 pm

m9f9l

do you bake???

10:10 pm

Jacula

I do, m9. Why do you ask? Re the maths?

10:11 pm

m9f9l

fractions all over the place in baking!!LOL... I bet you manipulate them all the time without thinking about it. you just were ruined by the way it's taught.

Jacula

All of my other teachers were lovely, and they taught me the maths of life.

10:12 pm

m9f9l

you understand the concepts.. just haven't internalized the algorithms for processing them in theory.

10:13 pm

Jacula

m9 - I know you're right and that particular teacher was horrible to her own two children (a boy and a girl) when they came to our state school from their private school if they finished earlier than we did, so came into her classroom to wait for her. I think she probably treated her hubby same way - perhaps her life disappointed her?

10:13 pm

Jacula

m9 - I must let you sort me out sometime.

10:13 pm

m9f9l

and they make kids memorize things like "denominator" and "numerator" when really.. at that age who really cares??

10:14 pm

Jacula

I think she was a pseudo snob and a bitter woman.

10:14 pm

m9f9l

kids should be playing with numbers at that age.

10:14 pm

m9f9l

and seeing how cool they are.

10:14 pm

m9f9l

building on the natural excitement they already have for numbers...

10:15 pm

m9f9l

I mean look at a 3 year old.. or a 4 year old... they're EXCITED about numbers!! "i can count to 10!!!"

10:15 pm

m9f9l

you know how I remember which is the numerator and which is the denominator??

10:16 pm

Jacula

m9 - I remember my son at about 2, maybe younger, counting for me.. 'one, two, three, four, five, other ones'. That tickled me.

10:16 pm

m9f9l

We should be outraged at how that's being killed in our children

10:16 pm

Jacula

No, m9 - how do you?

10:18 pm

m9f9l

sorry..had to find something in fridge for Tim

10:18 pm

m9f9l

well... I think of denomination being what kind of something something is..

10:19 pm

m9f9l

so what is it.. it's a 4rth.. it's a 5th.... see? it's the KIND of fraction it is..

10:19 pm

m9f9l

and numerator= number. how many of them do you have?

10:19 pm

Jacula

Maybe, if I'd had more knowledge of words at 7 or 8, and I WAS ahead in reading, 2 years ahead, I might have understood better.

10:20 pm

m9f9l

well that's just it... I don't get why they expect kids to know those words. LIke i said...who really cares?

10:20 pm

Jacula

If she'd just taken the time to explain it like you did at the time, so not leaving me with a life-long aversion to numbers, I'd have done okay.

10:21 pm

Jacula

I suppose, knowing the meaning of those words now, I 'could' have another go at maths. But my brain still freezes up. I can't do sudoko.

10:21 pm

m9f9l

well! my brother got his teaching degree in Bellingham..

10:21 pm

m9f9l

and he was in a class about teaching math.

10:21 pm

m9f9l

about 120 students

10:22 pm

Jacula

m9 - you might yet work wonders for me. Do keep in touch.

10:22 pm

m9f9l

the prof asks: "who here if they were out in public and had to do a math problem, would feel comfortable about it?".. and only about a tenth raised their hands.

10:23 pm

m9f9l

and then he asked.. how many of you would actually enjoy it?" and maybe one or two raised their hands

10:23 pm

Jacula

If he'd asked them to to a word problem, what would the percentage have been?

10:24 pm

m9f9l

he asked... how many of you would feel like "ugh".. and about 4/5 raised their hands... he said .. look around.. you are the people we are sending out to teach math ot the kids...

10:25 pm

Jacula

So, about a quarter of the class were true maths teachers?

10:25 pm

Jacula

Am I right?

10:25 pm

m9f9l

not even

10:25 pm

m9f9l

only 2 or 3 enjoyed it! out of 120!!!!

10:26 pm

m9f9l

you shouldn't teach something you don't even enjoy!

10:26 pm

Jacula

Well, it's not a third.

10:26 pm

m9f9l

only 1/5th didn't have a negative gut reaction to it!

10:27 pm

Jacula

So, English, Art, History, Geography or Science, I could have taught. But not maths. LOL

10:27 pm

m9f9l

but they're all expected to go out and teach it!

10:27 pm

m9f9l

at the elementary level teachers usually get the kids for a lot of the subjects.. it's not until junior high that they start really specializing..

10:28 pm

m9f9l

so they've already had years of being with teachers that have their own level of math aversion

10:28 pm

Jacula

One of my son's friends got his degree in Pure Maths. He's so quick qwith calculations that normal humand beings can't keep up. However, he can't get a job in UK that uses his skills.

10:28 pm

m9f9l

math aversion is part of our culture! we think nothing of saying "oh..I was TERRIBLE in math" in front of the kids...

10:30 pm

m9f9l

interesting. most really high level mathematicians don't do calculation very quickly... some even count on their fingers!LOL because true mathematical problem solving is not the same calculating.. you can use a machine for that!

10:31 pm

m9f9l

like memorizing the multiplication tables? I think that's a task designed to make kids hate mathematics.

10:31 pm

m9f9l

because there is NO need in their life at that age to have that memorized..

10:32 pm

m9f9l

And noone usually helps them with memorization skills.. . like HOW do you help your brain memorize something?

10:32 pm

m9f9l

wow.. I'm dominating the chog!LOL can you tell you've pulled out my soapbox?? (or one of them)

10:32 pm

Jacula

Speaking of teachers, I still regularly see one of my old art teachers, and not the one who praised me (but then pinched one of my pen and ink drawings to sell repeatedly as her own). The one I see was the Head of Department who criticised my stuff fiercely, as I now realise, to make me do better. She is 97 years old, still lives in her own home, walks her dog up the hills every day and still does her own housework and gardening. Last time I saw her was at the local hospital when I was in a wheelchair after doing my foot in. She was in the waiting room with a walking stick and a large plaster on her shin. She'd fallen onto a stick and cut herself whilst pruning stuff.

10:33 pm

m9f9l

wow. that's kind of cool

10:33 pm

Jacula

Multiplication tables, m9, was what Mrs, Gray ( the bully) humiliated us with.

10:33 pm

m9f9l

grrrrrrr

10:34 pm

m9f9l

You have to make it fun. for instance.. Aiden remembers what 8 squared is.. because she was born in '88 and I was born in '64

10:35 pm

m9f9l

I remember that 56 is 7 times 8 because it's sequential. 5...6...7...8...

10:35 pm

Jacula

Miss Hedingham was so pleased about the art work I'd sold (for publications) when we met some years after I'd left school. Mrs E. - the one who pinched my artwork hasn't been seen since.

10:35 pm

m9f9l

that's just crazy.. stealing from a student. wow

10:37 pm

m9f9l

I was in about 5th grade when my dad found out I didn't know my multiplication tables..

10:37 pm

m9f9l

so he told my brother (the one who is now a teacher) that he needed to help me.

10:39 pm

Jacula

Yes. it is. I still can't understand that one. I think maybe she went a little crazy after her 6 weeks off after having a hysterectomy in her late 30s. She suddenly introduced some bloke to us (maybe a boyfriend?) and told us to draw like her did. It was coloured tubes about 2 inchces long. Modern art, we weere told. We all knew that was crap, girfted and non-gifted alike. They'd bugger off into the stockroom, leaving us to draw red and blue and yelllow cigar shapes.

10:39 pm

m9f9l

Ralph said "what's 7 times 8?" "uh... uh... uh.." "56. I'm going to ask you again in an hour..and if you don't know I'm gonna hit you." LOL he was just joking.. but I"ve always thought that was so funny. he has a great sense of humor.

10:39 pm

m9f9l

oh my!! sounds like a scene from a movie!

10:40 pm

Jacula

Thanks to Hitler Gray,. I do know my times tables now.:-(

10:41 pm

m9f9l

and then my brother showed me how amazingly cool the 9's are. and of course i knew 5's. and then he showed me that with those I already knew a whole bunch of the times table and the 2's are easy.. so it's just filling in a few after that.

10:42 pm

stidmama

Hey all! hey Jac! ((hugs))

10:42 pm

m9f9l

hey stid!!! *calling down from my soapbox*

10:42 pm

Jacula

Suddenly, after about 4 times, Misss Hedingham would appear in the room and set up a still life for us to draw, and then go to the stockroom. Mrs E and ? would leave the room shortly afterwards.

10:42 pm

Jacula

Hi stid.

10:42 pm

stidmama

down to 157 earlier, going to list now or I won't finish...

10:44 pm

m9f9l

wait.. there were THREE of them in the stockroom??

10:44 pm

Jacula

Miss Hendingham must've have known how boring it was to draw a tap atop a brick with an apple and a pear below it. Shortly after that, Art Club began and we went to the Birmingham Art Museum and churches. Churches were fun, especially lying on yoru back to draw arched ceilings.

10:44 pm

m9f9l

you can do it stid!

10:45 pm

Jacula

m9 - No! Just 2 in the stockroom. I guess Miss H. broke up their party.

10:45 pm

m9f9l

oh!! you mean Miss Hedingham would rout them out!

10:45 pm

Jacula

YES! LOL

10:45 pm

m9f9l

i catch on eventually!LOL

10:46 pm

Jacula

Finally, our proper study for architecture began.

10:47 pm

stidmama

last de 6 please?

10:47 pm

Jacula

I have nothing but admiration for Miss H. She told me a few years ago that she knew Maria E. had stolen my drawing but didn't know what to do bbout it or how to contact me.

10:48 pm

Jacula

Rhymes with beaver, stid.

10:48 pm

Jacula

Well, it doesn't really, but you might get it from that. It's showing respect.

10:48 pm

hoping i sweated more, i.e. lost some weight

11:41 pm

Bugsaw

If Raelite or Riemann wants to share a room, I think that is possible. I just don't know them yet

11:41 pm

stidmama

I wish I were rich and really had a babble jet to help people get to our meetup

11:41 pm

Jellen

And be sure to use sunscreen, too!

11:41 pm

stidmama

riemann is a fellow -- and the boys "uncle" he'll just come down for the day.

11:41 pm

Uneaixoise

(shady, my neighbor drank that much today as well -- he was working on the roof -- crazy man!)

11:41 pm

stidmama

Not sure Raelite is actually going to come yet.

11:42 pm

stidmama

which reminds me... maybe pini would share a room with you bugs?

11:42 pm

shdybr8

too late, jellen, already red as a beet! That's the Welsh in me

11:42 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, really poofing -- gnite, babble buds :-)

11:42 pm

Bugsaw

thanks for the heads up! I would not be willing to share a room with riemann then.

11:42 pm

stidmama

oh gee shady. *gives LARGE aloe plant*

11:43 pm

shdybr8

ty, *hugs Jellen

11:43 pm

Bugsaw

Pini and I have agreed but jmc needs a spot too so we could get a room with room for 4 if Raelite needs help that way.

11:43 pm

shdybr8

drat, sun poisoning, hugs Stid

11:43 pm

Bugsaw

I plan to finalize things tomorrow and Jilli may know her.

11:44 pm

stidmama

oh, I see! did Jill talk to you about staying at the local (very close to me) casino? less expensive than most of the local hotels, and actually on your way here rather than in town.

11:45 pm

riemann

hey stid! how goes?

11:45 pm

stidmama

I know pini -- she's a lovely person, and can stay with us if necessary. We'll either put her in the tent or one of the boys... LOL

11:45 pm

shdybr8

just heard weird news, that our chancellor and his son died in a wreck tonight. Odd

11:45 pm

stidmama

hey riemann! glad you de-lurked. have you met bugs? Bugs is coming to our Olympia meet!

11:45 pm

stidmama

Bugs, this riemann, Tom's bestest best friend and the boys' uncle.

11:46 pm

riemann

actually just popped in. Hi Bugs!

11:46 pm

stidmama

that's too bad, shady

11:46 pm

shdybr8

t heard it as a fact

11:46 pm

stidmama

HEY! I got the entire table-top under the living room window cleared off this evening! (took me three days to do it)

11:47 pm

Jellen

You go, stid!

11:47 pm

shdybr8

oh, just heard, he is alive plane crash killed others

11:47 pm

TeaNCrackers

woo woo stid

11:47 pm

stidmama

That means I have a space to use as a desk this coming year. Since my office is turning into a storage locker again. *sigh*

11:47 pm

riemann

It would only take me 10 secs. And another 2 mins to sweep up the floor.

11:47 pm

shdybr8

crazy stuff

11:47 pm

stidmama

It also means that I can get to the window to wash it again! I think I feel a cleaning mood coming on.

11:48 pm

stidmama

ohoh.... *sits in PB*

11:48 pm

riemann

Don't worry about the window, Stid. What would you do with a clean window? Look at the sunshine?

11:48 pm

TeaNCrackers

what sunshine?

11:49 pm

riemann

my point exactly, Tea

11:49 pm

Jellen

Have plenty of food for the pb, stid....church ladies in action!

11:49 pm

stidmama

rofl tea! you know the area all too well!

11:49 pm

TeaNCrackers

11:49 pm

stidmama

we had a few minutes of bright light today, as a matter of fact!

11:49 pm

TeaNCrackers

we had a whole day!

11:50 pm

stidmama

oh jellen! have you tallied the tunafish casseroles?

11:50 pm

riemann

that's what you get for turning on the lamp

11:50 pm

Jellen

No tunafish...

11:50 pm

stidmama

*sticks out tongue at riemann from a safe distance*

11:50 pm

TeaNCrackers

ew - I always try to make some thing different

11:51 pm

stidmama

I will get jam in the mail tomorrow -- had to find a mail-safe box. *sigh* hope someone has provided bread...

11:51 pm

stidmama

riemann informed me a few years ago that jam travels well but bread and cookies were less successful.

11:51 pm

Jellen

Had the best salad tonight... broccoli, grapes, red onion, and sunflower seeds...

11:51 pm

stidmama

yum! that sounds excellent!

11:52 pm

TeaNCrackers

that sounds yummy - I am making cous cous salad tomorrow

11:52 pm

riemann

There are no USPS-safe boxes. Not even for fragile items like books.

11:52 pm

NonnieLight

Hello all...back for flip. Jellen, what dressing did they serve with the salad?

11:52 pm

TeaNCrackers

hey! my postman is VERY careful!

11:52 pm

stidmama

hey Nonnie!

11:52 pm

shdybr8

wow, that was weird, just heard that they had died, turns out they were in a plane wreck, but are fine\nhey riemann, from whence is the name?

11:52 pm

NonnieLight

hello stid--how are you this evening?

11:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

he's also my husband ;)

11:53 pm

stidmama

our post-person is rather nice. she comes by at 4-ish every day, rain or shine. except Sunday, of course.

11:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi nonnie

11:53 pm

Jellen

It was like a slaw dressing, I think...

11:53 pm

stidmama

oh tea! LOL

11:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

when Tea was born, my husband yells at the top of his lungs - she looks like the mailman!

11:53 pm

NonnieLight

hello tea, I haven't seen you in a long while. How are you doing?

11:53 pm

Bugsaw

hi Riemann! sorry, I was distracted for a bit there

11:53 pm

riemann

It's not the delivery, it's the transporting. I've got pictures of book boxes totally and mysteriously repackaged from the transporation

11:53 pm

TeaNCrackers

the nurses all froze and then my mom says, you are the mailman, jackass

11:53 pm

Bugsaw

LOL tea

11:54 pm

NonnieLight

OK, thanks jellen. It sounds like a really good salad and something different.

11:54 pm

TeaNCrackers

it was awesome!

11:54 pm

TeaNCrackers

doing good, nonnie

11:54 pm

TeaNCrackers

he's not really my mailman, he works on the machines that sort the mail at the main plant

11:55 pm

NonnieLight

good to hear, tea.

11:55 pm

stidmama

rofl tea!

11:56 pm

TeaNCrackers

I thought I killed the chog

11:58 pm

Jellen

Now you've done it! lol

11:58 pm

stidmama

not quite tea... I think we're just all waiting for flip...

11:58 pm

TeaNCrackers

gosh, I thought I killed it again, I should stop!

11:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

100 left - perfect for not finishing!

11:59 pm

stidmama

*a dead silence fills the chog...*

11:59 pm

Jellen

125 here

11:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

I'm a bit tipsy, so my fingers are moving!

11:59 pm

stidmama

*one monitor after another goes black...*

11:59 pm

riemann

What silence? You can't sto

11:59 pm

stidmama

*the internet can't handle the lightened load and slowly implodes...*
