1:57 am

rubyfoo

1:57 am

rubyfoo

made a joke about it in the chat and I guess they thought it was too risque!

1:57 am

westford

yikes were they all nuns?

1:58 am

rubyfoo

I think it was the Indian admin who thought that was not a joking matter

1:59 am

westford

to each his own I suppose

2:03 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, the hours trikes!

2:04 am

westford

2:05 am

westford

I always forget and just keep putting in words and of course nothing happens

2:05 am

rubyfoo

I keep waiting for them to accept riad -- I try it about once a week

2:05 am

rubyfoo

but then the words catch up, n'est-ce pas?

2:06 am

westford

not always.

2:06 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, I had better start checking. But who remembers?

2:06 am

westford

I usually can't remember which ones I entered

2:07 am

westford

this grid isn't as much fun as the last one

2:09 am

Christine

2:10 am

2:11 am

westford

2:11 am

rubyfoo

isn't that called an "earworm"?

2:11 am

westford

ha that's a good term

2:11 am

rubyfoo

ya, 50!

2:11 am

westford

I only have 49

2:12 am

Christine

Fot the past three weeks(!) my brain's been singing Alone again, naturally. I guess it's better than Pink Panthert, but marginally.

2:12 am

Christine

earworm?

2:12 am

westford

that was a sweet song

2:13 am

rubyfoo

I get worse ones: My Pa gave me a nickel to buy a pickle....", "Downtown strutters' Ball", old old songs from even before I was born.

2:13 am

westford

speaking of songs ruby how is your son's music coming along?

2:13 am

westford

I love the old songs

2:13 am

Christine

But three weeks!!! I wake in the morning, it's there, and it sends me to sleep; just too much.

2:14 am

rubyfoo

I don't think he's selling many CD's but everybody who hears it, likes it. I'll have to buy some as Christmas presents for my friends in the UD. It's embarrassing, though, if his mother is the only one who buys it!

2:14 am

rubyfoo

he is playing a lot as Austin is a great music town. But he is mostly a bassist in other people's bands.

2:14 am

Christine

UD?

2:14 am

westford

I'm sure many artists started out that way

2:15 am

rubyfoo

like, believe it or not, Orange Jefferson, at the Victory Grille

2:15 am

rubyfoo

in the US* d'uh

2:15 am

rubyfoo

but he's pretty old.... as is his mom

2:15 am

westford

I have two cousins who live in Austin one from each side of the family I'll have to tell them to check it out

2:16 am

westford

old means more experienced

2:16 am

westford

and I'll bet he's not very

2:16 am

westford

old I mean

2:16 am

rubyfoo

his name is John Reed Kelley and he used to play with JRWright (who died) and before that, with mysteriouswaysband, a U2 tribute group

2:16 am

Christine

Okay. Now, I'll buy a CD, then I'll write to EllenDeGeneres, and she'll have him on her show, and the rest of the world will buy his CDs.

2:17 am

rubyfoo

I love Austin - great food

2:17 am

rubyfoo

2:17 am

westford

I've never been

2:17 am

westford

that's what he needs ruby someone to promote him

2:18 am

rubyfoo

when I vvisit him, all I do is eat: sushi, steaks, Mexican food. The restaurants here, except for the exorbitantly expensive ones, are less than mediocre.

2:18 am

westford

and btw John Reed was my geometry teacher

2:18 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, your son is John Reed Kelley? I'll look for his CD.

2:19 am

rubyfoo

2:19 am

rubyfoo

2:19 am

westford

2:22 am

rubyfoo

2:22 am

westford

2:22 am

rubyfoo

send me an e-mail and I'll fill you in, if you like. I am looking for somebody to ghost-write my story; it is too risky while people are alive!

2:23 am

westford

thank you ( Colin Firth? )

2:23 am

rubyfoo

not my type,, I prefer Jude Law! but he's a little (a lot) too young

2:23 am

westford

2:23 am

westford

2:24 am

GroovyKiwi

My personal philosophy on housekeeping:- If your house is clean, You are houseproud. Pride comes before a fall. Ergo, if your house is clean, it will fall down. Fact.

2:31 am

Christine

2:31 am

GroovyKiwi

my personal philosophy on housekeeping is boy im glad i can afford a houskeeper lol

2:31 am

rubyfoo

I've learned that if the mirrors are clean, the rest of the house looks OK. And if not, tough

2:31 am

Christine

Mine is stay in or on the bed, and let the pets enjoy themselves.

2:32 am

Christine

Christine

Haz1558

You're a desperate flatterer, lynxxx.

FMitch

3:16 am

FMitch

It is a lovely bright sunny morning but gosh it was cold first thing, 4 degrees brrrr.

3:16 am

Haz1558

So, hunky courier or handsome postman?

3:17 am

FMitch

juvenile looking postie.

3:18 am

Haz1558

I suppose when you're 92, everyone looks juvenile.

3:18 am

FMitch

but bearing cards and parcels so I was forgiving.

3:18 am

Andree

its bad when everyone around looks about 12, that happens to me on a ddaily basis

3:19 am

westford

so nice FM

3:19 am

FMitch

yes, you know you are getting um 'more mature' when that happens :)

3:20 am

FMitch

and on that note I am going to go and investigate said cards and parcels. Thanks for all the b'day wishes and hope to see some of you later today.
Happy Babbling!

3:21 am

Andree

by fm and have a lovely day

3:21 am

Haz1558

Have a nice time, FM!

3:21 am

westford

Have a wonderful day FM

3:22 am

Andree

when i go to the doctor these days which thankfully isn't often, i look around for a degree, he is definitly only 12

3:23 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean, Andree. The same goes for teachers and policemen.

3:24 am

Andree

and ofcourse postmen

3:25 am

Haz1558

They're the worst - I think their bags are really their schoolbags heavily disguised.

3:25 am

Andree

thats why our mail comes late afternoon, an after school job

3:26 am

westford

lol andree

3:26 am

Haz1558

Absolutely! They try to pull the wool over our eyes but we can see through it.

3:26 am

Andree

and as for models they really are 12

3:27 am

Haz1558

I know, there's no other way to explain non-existent curves.

3:27 am

Andree

a girl in my grandaughters class[she is 14] is a model and earns more than her father !!!

3:28 am

Haz1558

Why do models doing catwalk shows always look so miserable?

3:28 am

Andree

she is nearly 6 feet tall

3:28 am

Haz1558

Not a hint of a smile, they look so gloomy.

3:28 am

Andree

because they are starving

3:28 am

westford

she must be stunning

3:28 am

Haz1558

Maybe they're worried about getting their homework done.

3:29 am

Andree

i'd be gloomy too if all i ate was lettuce

3:29 am

Haz1558

So would I.

3:29 am

Andree

she is west

3:30 am

Andree

in this case i am so glad she is still at school and hasn't left for a high flying career

3:31 am

westford

time was when a tall girl was just awkward

3:31 am

Haz1558

Is she doing mostly photographic work or catwalk as well?

3:32 am

westford

now it's either a basketball scholarship or modeling

3:33 am

Andree

i have no idea haz, just seen her in grandaughters class and know she earns a lot of money, i don't follow fashion seriosly enough to know who is modelling what

3:34 am

Haz1558

Well, if she does decide to make modelling her career, I hope she is successful and healthy, with the emphasis on healthy.

3:35 am

Andree

i think the healthy ones end up in a more interesting career

3:36 am

westford

I'd like to see models who look like normal girls..not many are size 0

3:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, but even our perception of what's normal these days seems to be changing - or is it that there seems to be a lot more girls at either end of the extreme spectrum?

3:38 am

westford

that's true

3:40 am

westford

there is so much emphasis on weight

3:40 am

westford

or lack of

3:41 am

Andree

its such a boring subject[weight] but it features heavily in every magazine, ho hum

3:42 am

westford

and so many TV ads

3:42 am

westford

it's a billion dollar industry that's for sure

3:42 am

Haz1558

It always amuses me that coming up to Christmas, the magazines feature recipes etc. The new year issues always feature diets to get rid of the weight they've encouraged you to pile on.

3:43 am

Haz1558

Same thing coming up to the summer holidays. 'Get a bikini body in 2 days!'.

3:44 am

westford

I saw an old movie the other night and Jane Russell was in a skimpy (for that time ) costume and she would be considered 'fat' by today's standards

3:44 am

Haz1558

Don't they say that Marilyn Monroe would be the same?

3:45 am

Andree

so would marilyn munroe

3:45 am

westford

I believe so. She was a size 14

3:45 am

Haz1558

So ladies, all we have to say is that we're old style movie star figures.

3:46 am

Andree

she was a shape and size men like

3:46 am

westford

hear hear

3:47 am

westford

well I just found out that doofis is not a word so I think I'll call it a night

3:48 am

berri

marilyn was possibly even a 16 by our standards and men loved it

3:48 am

westford

nice seeing you all

3:48 am

westford

hi and bye berri

3:48 am

Haz1558

Good night, westford.

5:29 am

sprite

bye for now, back later

5:43 am

Trifioso

good morning friends

5:45 am

Trifioso

I think I have figured out the trick to this one -- throw any nonsense combo of letters in.

5:46 am

EspritdJean

might be just you and me Tri gm

5:46 am

Trifioso

good morning, dear one! how are you?

5:47 am

EspritdJean

feel like I am still in the twilight zone

5:47 am

Trifioso

sorry?

5:47 am

EspritdJean

my brother's death last week

5:48 am

EspritdJean

sorry, thot you were here when the subject arose

5:48 am

Trifioso

Oh, I didn't know! Have been WAY out of the loop. I am so sorry to hear this news.

5:48 am

EspritdJean

suicide

5:48 am

EspritdJean

sound familiar?

5:48 am

EspritdJean

right after Zooz' crisis

5:48 am

Trifioso

OH NO! Oh no no no no.....

5:49 am

EspritdJean

yes, shocked the hell out of EVERYONE

5:49 am

Trifioso

did he have a history of depression?

5:50 am

EspritdJean

my whole friggin family does, but never to that point

5:52 am

Trifioso

Oh, I am just beyond words. I am so sorry....will pray for comfort for you all. When my mom was in her internship surgical rotation, she was present at a surgery where a 5 year old died on the table, but was resuscitated. The first thing she said when she woke up was "MOMMY! When you pray for someone an angel comes and sits with them!" I have held on to that image my whole life. I love love love the idea that angels come and sit with the people we pray for.

5:52 am

Trifioso

see yourself surrounded by them today, if it brings comfort.

5:53 am

EspritdJean

oh God, that is a great image

5:53 am

Trifioso

I know, isn't it? Picture one holding you in it's arms, head on your shoulder and all.....lovely

5:54 am

EspritdJean

I have been singing to myself the song "Precious Lord" do you know it?

5:54 am

Trifioso

precious lord, take my hand....that one?

5:55 am

EspritdJean

yes!

5:56 am

Trifioso

"It is well with my soul" is another good one...Hang on, let me see if I can find the story behind that one, it's astounding...

5:57 am

Trifioso

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Is_Wel
l_with_My_Soul

5:57 am

EspritdJean

I will check it out

6:00 am

EspritdJean

he even wrote his own obituary

6:00 am

EspritdJean

which my mother did too

6:01 am

Trifioso

your brother did? wow.

6:03 am

Trifioso

phantom: doodad

6:04 am

EspritdJean

called 911 just before he did it so police would be the ones to find him and not family

6:04 am

EspritdJean

thought that was pretty considerate

6:05 am

Trifioso

I have to agree. as far as planning goes, he really did try to inconvene everyone as much as possible. but oh, the pain of being left behind!

6:05 am

EspritdJean

excruciating

6:05 am

Trifioso

angels angels angels angels......

6:07 am

EspritdJean

yes yes yes

6:07 am

NonnieLight

Good morning all.

I have to get ready for work now, jean, but I am most sorry to leave you....you will be in my heart today.

6:10 am

thanks for the words Tri, I will check out that hymn

6:10 am

6:25 am

Need to start getting ready for work. Jean, if you're still here, I hope your angels wrap their loving arms around you and comfort you so you can get through this difficult time.

carleekat

crap...jean is easier to type when u are first waking up....i cant see straight yet

7:06 am

EspritdJean

ty so much

7:08 am

carleekat

sorry..i was just litterally waking up when i typed that...I had read int he chog last week what was going on and we had a similar situation albeit we were much removed ( a young boy in my kids' school 1 day before heading back to school after summer vacation) so you were very much in my thoughts jean

7:09 am

EspritdJean

it's beyond sad

7:09 am

EspritdJean

especially in the VERY young like your boy

7:11 am

carleekat

it is gut wrenchingly painful and i hope that you are finding someone with whom you can talk about this as i know if was me...no matter how logical my brain may be in yelling at my heart that it is not my fault..the emotional side of me would feel responsible and that would tear me to shreds ( i pray this is notyour case )...i would have to check myself into a hospital...but that...is me..

7:11 am

JBsAnno

Good morning! So sorry to hear of your sorrowful times, my Babble friends :(

7:12 am

carleekat

so...please..even if u feel you do not need to "talk" i can only say..talk anyway b/c you never know down the road...

7:13 am

carleekat

i would be a complete and utter basketcase

7:13 am

JBV

coming in at the end to offer my caring thoughts to Esprit and family -

7:14 am

carleekat

( is the word utter or udder.i hope is utter i cannot imagine a comparison to a cow's boob )....

7:15 am

JBV

and carlee, I agree - we had a crisis counseling team in place to help students and teachers deal with a teacher's suicide - and they were wonderful - so very needed. They stayed in the school for 3 full days and were available to anyone after that who requested it - it is indescribable to anyone who hasn't been through it

7:16 am

EspritdJean

my mind won't shut off, it's there all the time

7:17 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

7:17 am

EspritdJean

hi lyn

7:17 am

carleekat

i have been through this...but from a distance... even this boy last week...all i could think of was if i was his mother...i litterally could not go on ( this is ME jean so..please i am NOT at all in the least suggesting this is how u are reacting...this are my naked thoughts ) and i would be absolutely shattered

7:17 am

carleekat

hi trix

7:17 am

EspritdJean

off to the train, thanks for prayers for my brother everyone

7:18 am

EspritdJean

no, I understand carlee

7:19 am

EspritdJean

Nan, that keeps me going

7:19 am

carleekat

thankfully then they are not young ones who cannot begin to even consider rationalization

7:19 am

lynxxx

Maybe you can get help together, ask him to help you

7:19 am

carleekat

get him in to talk to someone

7:19 am

EspritdJean

they live in another state, but I have certainly suggested it

7:20 am

carleekat

good idea lynxxx

7:20 am

EspritdJean

this just shocked the living hell out of everyone

7:20 am

EspritdJean

anyway, must race for the train

7:21 am

carleekat

it always does...unfortunately the ones who mean it often dont cry for help

7:27 am

NonoNanette

lol, i dont know.... fair food sounds very enticing about now

7:28 am

carleekat

lynxxx...it happens but once a year... so crap like deep fried mars bars and deep fried butter ( that is the latest craze this year so i have heard ) albeit dreadful for you...if it is once a year..it will not kill you

7:28 am

lynxxx

It takes a long time to get over a loss but from one so close must be so so hard

7:29 am

carleekat

7:29 am

lynxxx

we have been doing bthe frozen and/or deep fried mars bars for years! blech

7:30 am

lynxxx

what are funnel cakes? (we have funnel web spiders here but sure they aren't involved)

7:31 am

carleekat

u take waffle batter and run through a funnel creating a stream into the fat...fries up but makes a diff pattern for each one... and then once done..take it out and dust with icing sugar

7:32 am

NonoNanette

it sounds very rich carlee

7:32 am

9:04 am

Boobear

9:04 am

Mom

I read in your profile that you knit and crochet. Are you on Ravelry?
I am a beginner crocheter

9:06 am

Mom

Boo, just heard from Annie, she is just fine. She has a friend in from Florida

9:07 am

Boobear

Yes I am on raverly. I just sent you an email

9:07 am

Mom

she said trees are down all over Brooklyn but she is safe and sound

9:07 am

Boobear

I haven't been on raverly in awhile

9:08 am

Boobear

that's is good to hear

9:09 am

Mom

just replied Boo

9:09 am

Boobear

ty

9:10 am

Mom

I am only in one group there but it is too warm to crochet. My name on Ravelry is the same as the first part of my email

9:10 am

Mom

original, huh? :)

9:12 am

Boobear

ok. Can't remember what mine is

9:13 am

Mom

it has been a while then

9:13 am

Boobear

it is fun to knit and crochet. I like crocheting better because it is faster

9:13 am

Boobear

yes it has

9:13 am

Mom

I have tried to knitting but I am really bad at it

9:15 am

Mom

I am beginning to think I am getting too old to learn to do this stuff.

9:15 am

Boobear

My older sister taught me to crochet and I taught myself to knit. Who taught you or did you learn your self

9:15 am

Boobear

no you are never too old to do anything.. You go GIRL

9:17 am

Mom

our public library has a Crafter's group twice a month. I learned to hand quilt there 4 years ago. They have since included crochet and knitting.

9:18 am

Mom

a lady there taught me to crochet. I am left handed so it was difficult for me to learn from a right hander

9:19 am

Boobear

nice. When I worked in New York city there was a craft store down the street and a group of ladies went there to knit or crochet

9:20 am

Boobear

I went on my day off and it was much fun. It was a highlight or my day off

9:20 am

Mom

that would be a neat thing to do

9:20 am

Mom

you are retired?

9:20 am

Boobear

it was neat. No just unemployed

9:21 am

Mom

oh Boo, I am sorry to hear that

9:21 am

Boobear

I take care of my Mom. She is a handful but fun to be around

9:22 am

Mom

what a sweet thing to do

9:22 am

Boobear

I figured that since she took care of me all those years ago,now it is my turn to look after her

9:23 am

Boobear

I have a large family so we all help out. I am lucky

9:23 am

bichon

You have a very good attitude Boo. My Mom is at an assisted living and still drives me cray

9:23 am

Mom

that day will come for me at some point. She is a sweetheart.

9:23 am

Mom

Hi Bichon

9:23 am

Boobear

ty bichon. Is your Mom ok

9:24 am

bichon

Physically she's so so , but her mental state is declining rapidly. She's 86.

9:24 am

Boobear

oh my. My Mom is 87

9:25 am

Mom

my mom is the baby of the group she is 74

9:25 am

Boobear

we will all be there like them someday

9:26 am

bichon

Her tooth broke and she feels it's a dental emergency. It's not and she's unhappy about waiting for an appointment. She's refused to go to the dentist for 3 years because she doesn't have any dental insurance

9:26 am

Mom

oh Bichon. How long does she have to wait for an appointment?

9:27 am

Boobear

that must be hard for her

9:28 am

bichon

I want to call my dentist, but it's about 40 minutes away from her. She is thinking about another alternative, but I don't think there is anything realistic. The local emergency dentist gave her appot. for next Tues., which I think is reasonable.

9:29 am

flosey

hello all, wow, bichon, I don't think that's reasonable. I think she should be seen right away - is it not possible she could cut her mouth on a sharp edge?

9:29 am

Boobear

that's good for her to have one

9:30 am

Mom

Hi Flosey

9:30 am

Boobear

hi Flosey

9:30 am

flosey

hi boo and Mom

9:30 am

Mom

an emergency dentist gave an appt for next Tuesday?

9:32 am

flosey

that doesn't seem like they're treating it as an emergency!

9:33 am

Mom

well the day is moving right along and here I sit. I had better get busy. {{Hugs}} to all of you.

9:34 am

Boobear

bye Mom

9:34 am

bichon

Apparently they don't see anything but pain as an emergency.

9:34 am

Mom

bye bye Boo

9:34 am

Mom

nice chatting with you

9:34 am

flosey

bye mom, have a good day

9:34 am

Mom

bye bye Flosey, enjoy your day as well

9:34 am

Boobear

nice chatting with you too

9:35 am

Mom

thanks

9:35 am

flosey

ty Mom, will do

9:35 am

flosey

hope I haven't offended, by being forthright with Bichon

9:35 am

Mom

take care Bichon, I hope I didn't speak out of turn

9:36 am

flosey

speaking from personal experience

9:38 am

Mom

Flosey, I fear we have

9:39 am

flosey

very sorry, Bichon

9:39 am

Mom

as am I Bichon, please accept my apology

9:40 am

bichon

NO Mom, it's a difficult situation to know what the right thing to do is

9:41 am

Boobear

I understand bichon. It will work out

9:43 am

flosey

Bichon, I was not criticizing you, my feeling was that the dental office might have taken it more seriously

9:44 am

Mom

I agree with Bichon, it is a tough spot to be in but I would have thought it being an emergency dentist they would have gotten her in quicker. It wasn't my intent to upset you and I hope I didn't.

9:45 am

Mom

I meant to say I agree with you Bichon.

9:46 am

Judi

Good morning, children of Earth. I come in peace.

Hi Cross

9:47 am

bichon

Oh, no Mom, not at all. It's just that I've been trying to get her to go to the dentist for 3 years, if just for a cleaning

9:48 am

Mom

morning Judi and Crossy

9:48 am

Mom

I can understand Bichon.

9:49 am

Mom

now, off I go, the floor are calling my name. {{Hugs}}

9:49 am

Judi

Reading back in the chog. Bichon - if mom is not in any pain from the broken tooth, she should be okay waiting until next Tuesday. If there's pain, the Dentist should see her right away.

9:50 am

crosshair

re: broken teeth.i once had a brick fall from the 5th floor of a construction site and hit me in the face,breaking 3 lower teeth in half.the emerg dentist was so overloaded,he fixed the two that had me in agony,the last one was not causing pain so he fixed it later that week

9:51 am

Judi

Ouch, Crossy! Rule of thumb, never look up when someone says "look out!".

9:51 am

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

i say i am not responding so he asks one last question!

5:20 pm

lynxxx

Isee - at least he is very keen though. Any news on the possible new job?

5:21 pm

Aloyisius

just pretend you haven't looked at your email.. till Monday, like you said

5:23 pm

Aloyisius

see what you mean about "twisty", lynxxx.. whew

8:06 pm

herinfernallady

Weekend here. I could ahve slept more

8:08 pm

Nef

I'd like to have slept longer but staying in bed didn't feel good either (achy joints in this cool rainy weather)

8:08 pm

stidgmere

Hello all, just coming back and am sure I won't finish the grid.

8:20 pm

Nef

and there are several "ad" combos in the grid! :-D

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

Sigh I have the attention span of a fish

8:23 pm

Nef

why, herin? Too tired today?

8:23 pm

herinfernallady

Just distracted

8:24 pm

Nef

so what's distracting you? (Something good or fun I hope?!)

8:24 pm

welki

hi folks

8:25 pm

Nef

hi welki

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Welki

8:26 pm

herinfernallady

Nothing in paticular Nef just distracted

8:27 pm

welki

haven't 'seen' you for a long time, nef .. read your profile and it looks like things are a little calmer in your neck of the woods. ('course, the update was almost a month ago, so the sh** could have hit the fan again!)

8:27 pm

Nef

would a cup of coffee help?

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

Did that.

8:28 pm

herinfernallady

I think I am a little excited about Monday and teh job interview

8:28 pm

stidgmere

I tried some bush tea from South Africa today. It has no caffeine and is naturally sweet.

8:29 pm

stidgmere

I read another #1 Detective Agency book by Alexander McCall Smith. Such interesting settings and nice people (except for the nasty ones.)

8:29 pm

Nef

welki, I've been here a bit more often lately; forgot I should update my profile a bit. You are right: things are a lot better now. DH will never be back to the "old" normal; but he's doing 100% better now

8:30 pm

stidgmere

You may be thinking about the interview more than your conscious mind is admitting.

8:30 pm

welki

one minute at a time, eh?

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

Yes indead Stid

8:31 pm

Nef

I love detective books in the summer, stidg. But once it starts turning cold; I prefer non-fiction better

8:31 pm

herinfernallady

That and I am doing volunteer work on Monday and Tuesday

8:31 pm

Nef

Job interview on Monday??? Sounds great!

8:32 pm

stidgmere

I choose my music by season. Bach is for fall and winter. Debussey is summer. Beethoven is whenever he wants.

8:32 pm

welki

that's because fall and winter are good times to nap, nef. and nothing puts you to sleep faster than a good non-fiction book :)

8:33 pm

herinfernallady

Nef Wednesday

8:33 pm

welki

ohhh, and i would think that chopin would be for fall (nocturnes and mazurkas, especially), mozart and sibelius for winter, back for spring and beach boys for summer!

8:33 pm

Nef

no, I usually stay awake when I read, welki. I think maybe it's related to the discipline of the winter months?

8:34 pm

herinfernallady

Monday Volunteering witha not for profit non kill animal shelter at the Show

8:34 pm

welki

back -= bach

8:34 pm

mcurlschool

stidgmere! I know stidmama is busy with school...would you please let her know that no baby yet but has been scheduled to be induced on the 22nd if baby doesn't come before then!

8:35 pm

welki

(and i agree .. beethoven whenever you want)

8:35 pm

stidgmere

Yes, mcurls. I will let her know still waiting. She called on her way home (using the blackberry devise) and sounded much more relaxed than she was prior to starting the student teaching.

8:36 pm

Nef

LOL!!! I've never thought of music by the season. I think of it more by the mood or what I'm doing. My dtr does fantastic on housework when Vivaldi is on! :-)

8:36 pm

herinfernallady

MC whom is having a baby?

8:36 pm

mcurlschool

I'm glad. I took a "mental health" day today and came up to spend weekend with mommy to be. Work had just gotten to much

8:36 pm

welki

the only way i could learn history was to associate a particular era with its music and art

8:37 pm

stidgmere

I don't do much Sibelius. I enjoy Edvard Greig. He is an all around the year composer. Such an ear for melodies and then rhythms of the dances are so fun.

8:37 pm

welki

*laughing* and perceptions are our own .. i think grieg is totally winter

8:37 pm

Nef

I love Greig too

8:38 pm

mcurlschool

herin--my younger daughter and hubby are expecting their first---a little girl Paige Joelle who was due on the 15th! We're still waiting LOL

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

My friend the other day said to me ''I would like to go to (insert shop name) and get the ANdrew Sisters, I don't think you would know who they are'' I informed her that I was not brought up in a cave

8:39 pm

stidgmere

Being a northern guy, one would think so especially with peer Gynt but his lyric pieces are very outdoorsy.

8:39 pm

herinfernallady

MC Supper excited for you

8:39 pm

Nef

I remember being 8 yrs. old and my Aunt would put on "In the Hall of the Mountain King" while we ironed clothes in the evening

8:39 pm

mcurlschool

grandbaby #3 for me!

8:40 pm

welki

ride of the valkyries, hall of the mountain king ... winter, winter, winter *lol*

8:40 pm

Nef

Grandbabies are so much fun! I'm loving my 16 month old grandson's visits

8:41 pm

herinfernallady

I remember a friend telling me that he couldn't listen to Ride of the Valkyries when driving it made him go a little road ragee

8:41 pm

mcurlschool

I get to be in the delivery room for this one. Was at the hospital for first but had to wait in waiting room; was not allowed anywhere near birth of second one (long story)

8:42 pm

welki

wait a sec .. wagner, not grieg for valkyries, right?

8:43 pm

welki

yeah, wagner (ooops)

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

MC all will be OK

8:43 pm

welki

and on that musical note, i'm off for the evening ... 'night folks

8:43 pm

Nef

Yup, welki. I just checked because I thought *I* was losing it! :-)

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

I have to wait until October 10 for my friends baby. Not taht I am excited (having spent $$$$ on baby clothes for the)

8:45 pm

mcurlschool

can't wait! OMG herin it will be 10-10-10 How cool!

8:45 pm

stidmama

*hugs all* HELLO! MY first 5-day week!!!! (I survived...)

8:46 pm

stidmama

mcurl, how are the kiddos in your neck of the woods?

8:46 pm

lbdawger

yahooo Stiddy! hi everyone!

8:46 pm

lbdawger

oooh grandbabies!

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Stidm

8:46 pm

Nef

My dtr's college roommate and her hubby just had a baby boy the end of August. The christening is this Sunday; I'd like to go but it's at 8 AM and about 90 miles away. My dtr is going down tomorrow to be there; but I've got several things to do here so can't go with her

8:46 pm

herinfernallady

Yep MC

8:47 pm

stidmama

LBD!!! I did NOT scare any children today AND I maintained good classroom control AND I taught at least one part of each of the five class periods!!!!

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

I have been informed that I am in a lot of trouble for spending on this new baby. I told her that I was not in trouble as I had been collecting for 6 months

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

YAH Stid

8:47 pm

Nef

Yay, stid!! I bet the students all survived too!

8:47 pm

herinfernallady

Hi LB

8:47 pm

mcurlschool

STID!! Didn't think you would be on. We are all fine. no baby yet; set to be induced on 22nd unless baby comes before. spending weekend in Fed Way just in case

8:48 pm

herinfernallady

Nef just go.

8:48 pm

Nef

Hi lbd!!

8:48 pm

herinfernallady

(O hubby oppsy)

8:48 pm

lbdawger

Hi Herin! Oh Stiddy, I knew you'd be successful. and you'll get better with each lesson! that's a promise!

8:48 pm

lbdawger

hi Nef

8:48 pm

stidmama

ah, good thinking. the nisqually bottleneck has been AWFUL this week. Except this morning. I left five minutes earlier than normal and arrived 30 minutes faster....

8:48 pm

stidmama

hey Nef!

8:49 pm

lbdawger

amazing how just five minutes can make the difference in commute

8:49 pm

Nef

yeah, herin. DH doesn't travel very well yet; and I don't want to leave him alone overnight

8:49 pm

stidmama

I am going to spend a few nights in a hotel up thataway because I have a few late-night must-shows and can't see driving home for so long and getting only 5 or 6 hours at home before I have to drive back.

8:50 pm

mcurlschool

I'll be off wk from Wed thru end of week unless little one appears before. I was "off" this week for four days---three to do reading assessments and today for my mental health

8:50 pm

lbdawger

that's a good idea, stid. not worth the stress and wear and tear on nerves. just make sure the hotel has wifi! lol

8:50 pm

stidmama

amazing and stupid. If the military had been THINKING they would have considered fixing the infrastructure BEFORE they closed all those bases elsewhere and piled the people into McCord and Ft. Lewis. *shakes head at stupidity of leadership*

8:51 pm

stidmama

*worried mama look* are you stressed, mcurl?

8:51 pm

mcurlschool

stid---military intelligence????

8:51 pm

Nef

stid, that sounds like my morning commute if I take the freeways: if I leave 5 minutes before 8; I can get to work in about 20 minutes; if I leave AT 8 or a little later; it's a good 45 minute commute.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

hey hey, be nice. I was a spook and take the oxymoron personally. ;)

8:51 pm

stidmama

rofl, no kidding! yes, there is a comfort inn close by, and should be reasonably priced since it's a truck-stop area.

8:51 pm

mcurlschool

yes, I was in fact. the Reading assessment takes me at least 2 weeks to prepare for and 2 weeks to finish up all slammed in 1 week!

8:52 pm

stidmama

that's about it Nef, but over a distance of close to 50 miles.

8:52 pm

stidgmere

Hi stidmama. I have the note from mcurlschool but you have just received her news. Glad you have time to be on the grid. I'm off as I want to watch some tv. See you tomorrow.

8:52 pm

stidmama

ACK. that does NOT sound like a good way to do those assessments!

8:52 pm

stidmama

hello Mother!

8:52 pm

stidmama

(((hugs Mother))) see you tomorrow!

8:52 pm

Uneaixoise

jeez, just found out about the tornado in Brooklyn yesterday: http://parkslope.neighborhoodr.com

8:53 pm

herinfernallady

LB I read that as I was a spook I take being a moron personally. SEE I really need a midday nap

8:53 pm

lbdawger

hi/night, Stidgmere

8:53 pm

lbdawger

lol herin, yes naps are an important part of a day

8:53 pm

stidmama

bonsoir, Une. yes, heard about it on the radio as I was driving this morning. sounds very scary

8:53 pm

stidmama

Nap? *snoozes*

8:54 pm

Uneaixoise

stiddy, the pix are incredible

8:54 pm

lbdawger

**does take being a moron personally too!**

8:54 pm

mcurlschool

it was a little more difficult this year because the program we use was "updated" and had new requirements both in data preparation and testing pieces. Took longer to prep and enter data than I'm used to and some staff are not as helpful.

8:54 pm

herinfernallady

That is a rarity on the Tornado there isn't it?

8:54 pm

mcurlschool

I'm glad your school stuff is going well.

8:55 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry LB

8:55 pm

stidmama

we are running SRI tests on the kids Monday. *figners crossed that the "cow" cart computers work for a change*

8:55 pm

lbdawger

np, herin. always up for a good laugh, even at myself!

8:56 pm

mcurlschool

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Next up is our Math assessments (thru same program) but at least that's done on the computers :-)

8:56 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, herin -- article in New York Times: http://tinyurl.com/24zhg5w

8:57 pm

stidmama

thanks mcurl, will be thinking of you, too. I am realizing that by the time the "results" are actually made available to the teachers we will be a whole month into the school year. *sigh*

8:57 pm

stidmama

a whole month for kids to fall further behind.

8:57 pm

lbdawger

can't think that way, stid. Gotta keep up the morale, and keep pushing the kids to meet your expectations!

8:57 pm

mcurlschool

That's why we test so early to, hopefully, get started quicker; it's just stressful

8:58 pm

herinfernallady

Ta. I should have looked at NY times

8:58 pm

stidmama

trying not to, LBD, but it's pretty clear that some of the kids have "something" going on... (or not) -- you know?

8:58 pm

mcurlschool

on another note---granddaughter Jordan received a "call back" of sorts from a movie producer requesting more pictures and information!

8:58 pm

herinfernallady

LB some days I put one foot in my mouth only to change it with another and on special occasions both

8:59 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo Jordan!!!

8:59 pm

stidmama

and it would be nice to have some diagnostic details a little sooner than later.

8:59 pm

mcurlschool

Oh, and got to see Kaden the other day; he started preschool last week.

8:59 pm

herinfernallady

Wow I just can't remember not picturing Brooklyn without its trees

9:00 pm

stidmama

is he that old already? they grow up so fast.

9:01 pm

mcurlschool

yes, he'll be four in Nov. Early diagnostics are definitely a benefit but it's time consuming to get all in order to do it this early but the benefits pay off.

9:01 pm

lbdawger

kewl beans, mccurl!

9:01 pm

stidmama

some days, I feel SO OLD!

9:01 pm

mcurlschool

We use the DIBEL program from the University of Oregon

9:03 pm

herinfernallady

Stid you feel old All of my friends are getting married and having babies

9:03 pm

stidmama

DIBELs is time consuming, and only gives a limited type of information, but it's a start.

9:04 pm

mcurlschool

they've revamped the program and let me tell you I'm impressed

9:04 pm

stidmama

lady... my mentor teacher was 3 or 4 when I went off to college... LOL THAT's O-L-D!

9:05 pm

mcurlschool

one thing it does is meets our AYP requirements for assessments

9:05 pm

stidmama

that's good to hear, I hadn't heard about the revamp. Will need to check it out.

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

Falls over laughing.

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

MC is your Grandbaby the little girl in Plaid in the pics?

9:06 pm

mcurlschool

yes herin

9:06 pm

stidmama

help to get the D in the lower left corner please? my last blank tile.

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

hi all *worries that peacenic may not be welcome in this conversation*

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

;-)

9:07 pm

featherbee

i was at a brief training session for dibels once on a supt. day. so glad we don't have to use them!

9:07 pm

stidmama

hey jmc! hey feather!

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

dibels?

9:07 pm

featherbee

literacy assessment.

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

lbd i am shocked to learn you were a spook!

9:07 pm

mcurlschool

dymanic indicator of basic early language

9:07 pm

featherbee

some of my leapster games have arrived! i don't have the leapsters yet though. :(

9:08 pm

herinfernallady

She is adorable

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

ah ty feather

9:08 pm

stidmama

it's a diagnostic test that focuses on a narrow range of "necessary but not sufficient" literacy skills for very young (emergent) readers

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

no i thought the leapsters were a done deal

9:08 pm

stidmama

that LBD is pretty spooky...

9:08 pm

featherbee

they're en-route most likely.

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

my mother kept getting into trouble because all of her children learned to read too soon and the "wrong way"

9:09 pm

mcurlschool

there's a "wrong way?"

9:09 pm

featherbee

wait. there's a wrong way to learn to read? heck, any kid that comes into my room reading is golden!

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

so they would tell her --

9:09 pm

mcurlschool

ditto feather

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

Feather my b.f as a child would have been your worst nightmare.

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

i was a late bloomer in my family i was 4 before i learned to read

9:10 pm

stidmama

no, there really isn't a "wrong" way... there's just uptight people.

9:10 pm

stidmama

NBT!

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

wtg stidd

9:10 pm

featherbee

poor "slow" jmc.....

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

He was into reading The Hobbit by 5 and was bored senseless with the basic readers

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

well it is true that my speaking and reading vocabularies didn't entirely merge until i was in college

9:11 pm

Nef

stid; I was tryingf to cluer yuo but this keyboard won't co-operate if I hurry

9:11 pm

featherbee

herin, that's no problem. i had a girl last year reading on a second/third grade level. i just gave her more level appropriate material and worked with her individually, and then later in a group of 2 with another girl who was higher.

9:12 pm

stidmama

one issue though can be that sometimes being able to read aloud doesn't necessarily equate to comprehension skills... and the pace and timing of teaching the set of literacy skills that are needed in school don't meet every child's needs

9:12 pm

dan2bit

can anybody clue the ao6?

9:12 pm

herinfernallady

That is sweet Feather. B.f used to ahve Encyclopedias read to him at night as a 3 year old. I was reading Robin Cook books at 8 and understanding them

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

i would read all the text books in the first three weeks of school (even the science books in the back of the room that we never opened all year) and then be bored

9:12 pm

Nef

one of my sisters had both of her kids reading before 3 yrs old. They are brilliant even now

9:13 pm

stidmama

it's a babblet dan, ao + carpal tunnel is a pain in the w****

9:13 pm

dan2bit

ty stid, I thought surely the monkeys had tried that one

9:13 pm

Nef

ao+ a fl**** is where you buy flowers

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

<==not so brilliant anymore

9:13 pm

stidmama

anyway, I am working on being smart with my eyes. close enough to halfway to be happy for tonight. I am glad I got to see you-all!

9:13 pm

dan2bit

and Nef

9:14 pm

stidmama

sure thing dan

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

bye stiddie

9:14 pm

stidmama

I will see you-all again over the weekend, I hope. *hugs and choclits for all*

*poof*

9:14 pm

nighters, stiddy

9:15 pm

herinfernallady

I am a terrible speller the words don't seep into my brain

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

that's what the monkeys are for herin

9:16 pm

Nef

Hi jmc and feather and dan2. I was trying to update my profile and missed your entries

9:16 pm

herinfernallady

I had no proper education in Years 7 8 9 so my English and Maths are stuffed. Not taught properly due to disruptive classmates

9:17 pm

dan2bit

firewords! something sneaky is af5 was my la4 - thanks all cluers

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo dan2

9:17 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo DAN!!

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef

9:18 pm

lbdawger

hi to all who entered whilst i was otherwise distracted

9:18 pm

Nef

YAY, dan2 WTG!!!

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

good news nef!

9:18 pm

lbdawger

my monkeys get extra exercise at work. amazing how they know how to spell words that i can't spell out loud!

9:18 pm

Nef

and what are you distracted by tonight, lbd? Herin started out saying she was diostracted today too

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

hows the eyesight?

9:19 pm

herinfernallady

I am getting another coffee YAh

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

I have just discovered a new rule in this house

9:20 pm

lbdawger

had to check on my class roll. will have 14-16 students

9:20 pm

Nef

he had his visual field tests yesterday and his nearsightedness (which he's had since a child) is much improved over what it was before all of this started!

9:20 pm

lbdawger

is it a good rule, herin?

9:21 pm

lbdawger

that's great news, Nef!

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

and the ramp has to make things easier

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

Yep. If the cats fall over with a thump on the floor you must pet them NOW

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

YAH Nef

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

ah i thought all houses with cats had that rule

9:21 pm

lbdawger

herin, your cats are SPOILED!!

9:22 pm

Nef

It seems as though part of the eye problems were a new side effect from a drug he'd been on for nearly 20 years!

9:22 pm

Nef

they fall over?

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

shhhh! you are never to mention it if a cat is clumsy

9:23 pm

lbdawger

there's only one cat that i like right now. the MCC across the street. Pounder is so kewl!

9:24 pm

Nef

the ramp is wonderful, jmc. I didn't realize how stressed I've been til I went to work on Tuesday and wasn't worried about him trying to go outside.

9:24 pm

jmcnrick

i understand completely nef

9:25 pm

lbdawger

more independence for DH! i bet he feels better about it too!

9:25 pm

jmcnrick

you get so good at bearing up you hardly notice you are carrying the world until someone takes it off you

9:25 pm

herinfernallady

Yep Nef with a complete thump. Sounds loud. My neighbours have accused as of thumping through the house but it is the brats

9:25 pm

herinfernallady

And yes they are spoilt

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

pooh there is no such thing as a soiled cat -- just some cats get everything they are due

9:27 pm

Nef

Yes, jmc; I bet you do understand. He was whining at me when I came home from work about being cooped up in the house all day. I asked him why he didn't go down his new ramp and use his scooter to go get the mail. You should have seen him blush and then admit that he'd forgotten he could do that now!

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

po** thing! i bet he remembers tomorrow

9:28 pm

Nef

Right now my dtr's cat is curled up under my chair and the dog is curled up on my lap.

9:29 pm

Nef

tomorrow I'll make him get out on his own

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

ty lbd he was a charmer

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

i should fix the profile though since i am calling him a criminal rather that criminal lawyer

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

though he did smoke dope so he was both

9:37 pm

Nef

LOL! I was going to ask you about that, jmc! I was thinking that he was the criminal and you were his defending lawyer! ;-)

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

*crickets*

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

no he was a criminal trial lawyer and very good at it

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

i was proud of him -- his parents always wanted him to do something more "useful"

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

but he was born to be a criminal trial lawyer

9:38 pm

Nef

that's reassuring!

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

like beverly sills was born to sing

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

we did have a felon secretary though

9:39 pm

Nef

something more "useful?" how can that be?

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

they felt that defending "those people" (criminals) was beneath their family

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

when he went deaf they said it was an opportunity to do something more important like be a professor or writer

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

my po** hubby wrote like a jail house lawyer! he was a terrible writer!

9:41 pm

Nef

oh MAN! that would have irked me!

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

i used to write his briefs for him but he was amazing int he court room

9:41 pm

lbdawger

well, either of those are nice, but if his heart wasn't into it, what a waste of talent.

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

believe me nef i was furious

9:42 pm

Nef

I can imagine! I would be too!

9:42 pm

lbdawger

--waste of talent being a lawyer, not a prof or writer.

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

they were just snobs about academia

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

lol you are making it worse lbd!

9:44 pm

lbdawger

well, you know what i mean. i think those who practice law are pretty impressive people. lots to learn and know, and criminal law...one needs also to be quite the actor to perform in front of a judge and jury.

9:44 pm

Nef

Doo, doo, doo; looking out my back do**!

9:44 pm

jmcnrick

lol yes i knew what you meant lbd and i appreciate it

herinfernallady
