1:54 am
flosey

1:54 am
flosey
I thought my computer had frozen
1:54 am
m9f9l
I'm watching the pilot episode of bones on hulu too...
1:55 am
rbud
I even refreshed, thought maybe it stuck, it used to do that when I first started here, before I got a better computer. I'd have to refresh to see what new things were said.
1:55 am
flosey
ah, any sign of Jilli?
1:55 am
m9f9l
i have 55 left to find. I listed at nbt and 1/2way

m9f9l
it says she's online..
1:56 am
flosey
but I think she leaves her computer on anyway
1:57 am
m9f9l
yeah.. that's what i figured
2:00 am
m9f9l
i have all the 4 letter words
2:05 am
flosey
I'm still missing 18
2:05 am
flosey
4 letter words, that is

m9f9l
i've got 45 left now

flosey

2:12 am
m9f9l
yeah..but I had an hour while you were trying to sleep!LOL
2:13 am
flosey
an hour calming down anyway, so much going on
2:15 am
flosey
a young lady here, who an old friend in Ontario referred us to in hope we could help - very ill and needing social assistance - has been a runaround for a while but things finally coming to a head
2:18 am
flosey
hubby called MLA and that got things stirred up + someone else has found her a new place, had to vacate this one
2:18 am
m9f9l
oh! are you a social worker?
2:18 am
m9f9l
so things are going better for her? that
2:18 am
m9f9l
that's good!
2:18 am
flosey
no! just a lady back in Ontario that hubby taught with - she was grasping at straws, really
2:19 am
m9f9l
oh.. when you said "referred" it sounded official.LOL
2:19 am
m9f9l
sounds like she grasped a good one!
2:19 am
flosey
yes, poor dear, had a stroke and rendered her unable to speak, has to write every response
2:19 am
flosey
no, just friends, helping friends
2:20 am
m9f9l
that's as it should be.
2:20 am
flosey
she has lyme disease and has to have meds - got that squared away
2:20 am
m9f9l
oh my. that sounds serious.
2:20 am
flosey
needs lots of rest
2:20 am
flosey
yes, it is
2:20 am
m9f9l
people are taking care of her now?
2:21 am
m9f9l
is she in hospital?
2:21 am
flosey
no, she's able to look after herself - with help of friends who will shop for her - occasionally she is able to shop but not always
2:22 am
flosey
she's in a rental unit but has been evicted
2:22 am
m9f9l
do people bring her meals?
2:22 am
flosey
she's able to prepare her meals, if things are brought to her, and she does have a garden, grows lots of vegs.
2:23 am
flosey
Kiwanis (I believe) bought her a dry sauna (infrared, i think) helps her a lot
2:23 am
m9f9l
oh that's good!
2:24 am
m9f9l
a father that came for one day to help at cub scout day camp.. he had lyme disease.. I think... i know he said lyme disease.. but i can't remember if that's what they THOUGHT he had for a long time.. or if it was the new diagnosis..
2:25 am
m9f9l
he had some sort of compression chamber.
2:25 am
m9f9l
and he said that helped a lot
2:26 am
flosey
don't know how easy it is to diagnose
2:26 am
m9f9l
his dad uses it too for something else.
2:26 am
m9f9l
his dad uses it too for something else.
2:27 am
flosey
it's so horrible, and the pressure of having to move (trouble with landlord) and where to go has been really wearing her down, but things are brightening up
2:28 am
flosey
we'll see this weekend
2:29 am
flosey
the place she has to move to is being repainted
2:29 am
flosey
so might need 'in beteen
2:31 am
m9f9l
does she have somewhere to stay if that happens?
2:33 am
flosey
I think she may, not sure - someone else has stepped in and really helping a lot
2:34 am
flosey
so many emails going round and round
2:36 am
m9f9l
it's nice you were there to be called.
2:36 am
m9f9l
and get the ball rolling
2:36 am
flosey
she came to BC because couldn't manage Ontario winters, and she had heard of a Dr. in Vancouver who has helped her
2:37 am
m9f9l
that must be so tough.. to have so much of one's life dictated by health concerns.
2:39 am
flosey
she gets confused too much going on and payments not coming through
2:40 am
flosey
paying far too much for place she's in (I can't see that it is warranted but that's not my concern)\
2:40 am
flosey
someone found her a place at about 1/2 that
2:41 am
m9f9l
well THAT's good!
2:42 am
rubyfoo
good morning everybody

Haz1558
re9 is the adjective relating to what's left of the re7 and re8.

Hello, Ata!
3:13 am
rubyfoo
ata! did anybody tell you that I sent you my thanks for the fossil website?
3:13 am
m9f9l
well.. I have 9 left.. but I'm gonna have to leave them for later..
3:14 am
Atalante
no, but I think I saw on the log at some point :)
3:14 am
rubyfoo
his gift is on the way
3:14 am
rubyfoo
those are wonderful sites and | gave them to Zooz who was interested
3:14 am
Atalante
excellent!!
3:14 am
rubyfoo
and you were right, the sea fan is more like 150 million years old!
3:15 am
Atalante
that sounds more like it!
3:15 am
rubyfoo
many of our fossils have come undated and I don't know anything at all
3:16 am
rubyfoo
I just got an idea for another gift for him, a book on fossils -- in French! He would love that
3:16 am
Atalante
ooooo yes
3:16 am
rubyfoo
he is not very scientific in his background (more philosophical), but maybe would like a guide
3:17 am
Atalante
sound slike a good idea :)
3:18 am
rubyfoo
must go now but thanks again, ata, and ty for the hlep m( and hi and bye haz!

Bye, ruby.

Haz1558
So, Ata, what news of Hobbit?
3:19 am
Atalante
poor babe had a huuuuge scratch on her cornea
3:19 am
Haz1558
Oh dear! So you were right to go quickly.
3:19 am
Atalante
she was so sad that she wouldnt even eat pizza crusts
3:20 am
Haz1558
That is sadness.
3:20 am
Atalante
yep! she's going back today for a check up
3:20 am
Atalante
AND she wouldnt even wiggle ....
3:20 am
Haz1558
Any treatment being offered?
3:21 am
Haz1558
For the cornea, the wiggling is going to have to come back of its own accord.
3:21 am
Atalante
she's got fucidic acid eye drops, and some pain relief, and arificial tears to keep her eye wet
3:21 am
Atalante
wiggling has fully returned today
3:21 am
Haz1558
So, will the cornea rectify itself through time?
3:22 am
Haz1558
A spaniel without a wiggle is like ... well, its just too hard to find a comparison.
3:23 am
Atalante
and we remembered (too late) that she's allergic to local anaesthetic - her conjunctive swell up rather alarmingly. yep, she'll be fine in a week or so, vet debrided the scratch a bit and I'd already been flushing out her eye. with eye drops, it should heal up fine
3:23 am
Atalante
exactly! it was awful!
3:23 am
Haz1558
Oh, I'm glad she's on the mend, it's not nice when you know they're hurting.
3:24 am
Atalante
I've never seen her not wiggle before
3:24 am
Atalante
hows spangletiinella?
3:24 am
Haz1558
Did you tell the vet that you feared the worst when she refused a biscuit?
3:25 am
Haz1558
Spangle is fine - paws adjusted, upstairs humans visited and greeted and now preparing for a snooze with one ear cocked for the cats and the postman.
3:25 am
Atalante
yes LOL. vet was horrified!
3:25 am
Atalante
awwww :) that's a happy spaniel
3:26 am
Haz1558
Yes, and I'm safe in the knowledge that her wiggle is intact.
3:27 am
Atalante
very important :)
3:27 am
Haz1558
I meant to remind you that it was FM's birthday yesterday, but you probably already knew. She's looking good for 92, isn't she?
3:28 am
Atalante
very good indeed!
3:28 am
Haz1558
That last session of botox worked wonders.
3:29 am
Haz1558
Did you see what Jamie Oliver has called his little boy?
3:29 am
Atalante
amazing how many time it takes to get a result
3:29 am
Atalante
noooooo, I dread to think!
3:30 am
Haz1558
Buddy Bear
3:30 am
Haz1558
Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver.
3:30 am
Atalante
..........
3:30 am
Haz1558
He's actually blaming his wife, she likes the name Buddy.
3:31 am
Haz1558
They have previous form - let me get the little girls' nomenclatures correct (na5 is in the grid)
3:31 am
Atalante
the Bear is more disturbing!!
3:31 am
Haz1558
Maybe it's after Bear Grylls.
3:32 am
Haz1558
The others are called, Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom Rainbow.
3:32 am
Atalante
thats even MORE disturbing!
3:32 am
Atalante
oh dear .......
3:32 am
Haz1558
Husband claims that if he were the registrar he would 'show them the door'.
3:33 am
Haz1558
It's a favourite expressio of his 'show them the door'. Lots of pupils would be shown the door if he were headmaster of some schools.
3:33 am
Atalante
absolutely!
3:33 am
Atalante
Poppy is a lovely name, but Poppy Honey?
3:33 am
Haz1558
I think she (Jamie's wife) must name them while still under the effects of the happy air they give them in labour.
3:34 am
Atalante
she's a very sensible lady, apparently. I'm not so sure now
3:35 am
Haz1558
The little girls are absolutely beautiful. I agree, she seems to be eminently sensible but prone to euphoria when it comes to giving them names.
3:36 am
Atalante
yes ...... Bear. goodness.
3:37 am
Haz1558
Are you still painting away like a mad thing?
3:38 am
Atalante
I am :) Finishing a pic for tolkien society meeting next friday
3:39 am
Haz1558
How do you get them all transported? Is it going to be you in the car or are the canvasses big enough to need a van?
3:40 am
Atalante
no, not that big, A1 at the biggest
3:40 am
Haz1558
That's not so bad. I had visions of you staggering under the weight of your creativity.
3:41 am
Haz1558
I know you do that in the metaphorical sense, just didn't know whether it was ever literal.
3:41 am
Atalante
nooo, I have 3 portfolios to stagger round with, an A1 one, A2 one and A3 one
3:43 am
Haz1558
Daughter needs to talk.... maternal head going on.
3:43 am
Atalante
good luck!

rubyfoo
chores done, out to lunch soon
4:06 am
Haz1558
Okay, almost set daughter's world to rights again (she had lost her wiggle last night!) and glad that she's talking again.
4:06 am
Haz1558
So, shopping to do - I'd best be off. See you soon!
4:25 am
rubyfoo
ata, are you still there?
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
Good morning ruby.
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
Biggish grid today.
4:30 am
sprite
morning all
4:31 am
Sally-catlover
Hi sprite! Thought I was on my own here.
4:31 am
sprite
*hugs Sally* Glad to see you, dear friend!
4:32 am
Sally-catlover
It's a lovely bright morning here, but cold.
4:33 am
sprite
it is very cloudy here, but dry for now... hope it holds.
4:38 am
sprite
how've you been, Sally?
4:39 am
Sally-catlover
OK thanks sprite, just very busy and tired. Not really had time to chat lately although I have sneaked in and done the grid on odd occasions. How about you?
4:41 am
sprite
have been thinking of you. I am ok, still a bit shaky from the lung scare, but also very grateful and getting ready to redefine my life.
Next week the workshops for TTouch start!
4:41 am
Sally-catlover
TTouch? Remind me.
4:42 am
sprite
a treatment for animals (and humans) that works on the nervous system and can help with both physical and behavioural/emotional problems.
4:44 am
Sally-catlover
That sounds good sprite.
4:45 am
sprite
never mind hun, you better take care of yourself. You don't 'sound' good. Think of you, not of me.
4:48 am
Sally-catlover
Really, I am fine. {{hugs}} sprite. Just tired and finding it difficult to motivate myself. Babble is a good distraction!
4:50 am
sprite
having trouble motivating yourself might be a sign of more th4 just tiredness. Don't get into a depression, ok? Let me know if I can do anything. *hugssss*
Yeah, Babble rocks. Helps to focus, among other things.
4:51 am
Sally-catlover
Sweet sprite.
4:52 am
sprite
:)
I am finding biggies, and they are great words. Must be a good grid today.
4:53 am
Sally-catlover
Only have one 7 and one 8 of the biggies so far.
4:53 am
Sally-catlover
Have you found the little yellow birds yet?
5:00 am
sprite
first half is easy, but am wondering how there can be once again as many words
5:03 am
Sally-catlover
You are (of course) ahead of me, I have 100 so far.
5:03 am
sprite
that is because I am not as tired as you
5:04 am
Sally-catlover
No, I think it's because you are quicker than me!
5:04 am
sprite
*grin* It was worth a try!
5:05 am
Sally-catlover
:-)
5:10 am
sprite
phantom: se4na4 (where priests go for their education)
5:11 am
Sally-catlover
Nice one. At least you have what they say when they pray.
5:11 am
sprite
yeah, a kind of consolation prize :D
5:15 am
sprite
am pretty smug that I found the helmet(s)
5:15 am
Sally-catlover
Helmets? Looking
5:16 am
sprite
for me they are babblets. French spelling.
5:16 am
Sally-catlover
The first two letters sprite?
5:16 am
Sally-catlover
Please :-)
5:18 am
Sally-catlover
Got them, ty, had tried that word without one of the vowels.
5:19 am
sprite
can imagine, it has quite a lot of those
5:21 am
sprite
the French love their vowels
5:23 am
lynxxx
hi Sprite and Sally. TY for those Sprite
5:24 am
sprite
hi lyn :) xxx
5:24 am
Sally-catlover
Hi Lynn :-)
5:27 am
lynxxx
such a lovely face Sprite, very intelligent eyes
5:27 am
sprite
thank you lyn :D
5:28 am
Sally-catlover
For a minute I thought you meant Sprite. Also true of course :-)
5:28 am
sprite
easy to see why we adore him, grin.
5:28 am
sprite
lol Sally!
5:28 am
lynxxx
it is isn't it Sally, intelligent eyes but also very kind
5:30 am
sprite
he is the gentlest, sweetest dog there is
5:30 am
Sally-catlover
Probably also prone to falling asleep in the arms of her beloved :-)
5:31 am
sprite
hahahaha... the best place to be
5:31 am
lynxxx
you can claim that Sprite, Stew is neither gentle or sweet
5:32 am
sprite
but Stew is funny and so happy to be with you
5:33 am
Sally-catlover
We have a new cat that seems to have adopted us, has taken to sleeping in the garage and is now cautiously coming indoors (with no encouragement from me, I might say, but encouragement from Someone Else!). The other day I discovered that the cat had sneaked upstairs (cats strictly not allowed upstairs in this house) and was curled up asleep on the bed next to Dearly Beloved. Talk about wheedling your way in!
5:33 am
lynxxx
true and I with him
5:33 am
lynxxx
what a forward hussy!
5:34 am
sprite
awwww such a smart cat!
5:34 am
Sally-catlover
Quite lynn. By the way, met a friend's greyhound recently and was surprised at how big they are. Felt a great longing in my heart :-)
5:34 am
sprite
I think Stew is a marvelous dog. But no dog can beat Terra... for us :)
5:35 am
lynxxx
come in all sizes and colors Sally. Stew is quite small for a male - 25kg racing weight but now 31kg.
5:36 am
Sally-catlover
It's all down to circumstances isn't it. Terra suits you perfectly, and Stew obviously suits Lynn.
5:36 am
sprite
sounds good, lyn. And he is a lot calmer now too, right?
5:36 am
Sally-catlover
There are quite a few rescue greyhoud centres around, when they come to the end of their working life.
5:37 am
sprite
yes Sally. I have the feeling people get the dog they need, and vice versa, whenever they let their hearts speak.
5:37 am
lynxxx
Yes, a lot calmer.
5:37 am
Sally-catlover
Was he a rescue lyn?
5:39 am
lynxxx
Not really a rescue, the trainers are encouraged to give them over when they are no good for racing (as Stew obviously was) or when they have finished their 'career'. The programs in each State is an offshoot of the official greyhound racing organisation of that State
5:39 am
lynxxx
is s'be are
5:40 am
sprite
racing must be such a hard life for those dogs
5:41 am
Sally-catlover
I think that's more or less the same here. The centres are for ex-racing greyhounds, as I understand it. My friend's dog and previous dog were from such a centre. I think you have to be a bit careful about training them to a lead at first. But he was such a beautiful and gentle dog!
5:44 am
lynxxx
I don't know Sprite - I am sure with the good trainers they have a good life. They LOVE racing from what I have seen, too much fun. athey adore being around one another too, Stew still gets very animated when he sees other greys. I think the bad days and bad owners must be almost gone _ I know there were some terrible things happening
5:45 am
Sally-catlover
phone
5:46 am
sprite
so glad to he4 that, lyn! I know that they love to run, and that they need to run too. But it is great to know they are treated much better now!
5:47 am
jillibus
Just dropping in for a hello at 3:45 am (!) after a wonderful evening with my son who is here for the weekend. Had to sow you my perfect pet ;)
5:47 am
sprite
hey jilli! Glad you had such a good time with your son!
5:48 am
lynxxx
funny Jilli, bet you wish you had trained yours to do that
5:48 am
sprite
LOLLL @ your icon pet. Lovely!
5:48 am
jillibus
Funny, sprite, I kinda guess what you would post :)
5:49 am
sprite
hehehe yeah I realise it was predictable. But at least the pic is new.
5:49 am
jillibus
And it's a lovely one, sprite :)
5:50 am
jillibus
How is Stew these days, lyn? I guess he's perfect too...
5:51 am
lynxxx
Far from perfect but suits me. I think you get what you put into a dog so can't complain!
5:52 am
jillibus
Well, I'd better go to bed. Won't be babbling much this weekend...night all...*poof
5:53 am
sprite
night jilli, sleep well
5:53 am

7:35 am
Anniebrook
Une, Is your daughter teaching ?
7:36 am
Uneaixoise
no, she was hired at U Mich as librarian to the French Dept (and other odds and ends) :-)
7:37 am
Anniebrook
Une, what a great job...good for her
7:37 am
Uneaixoise
it's challenging and exciting for her -- she's really happy :-)
7:38 am
Uneaixoise

I would like to see them too!
8:25 am
NonnieLight

8:26 am
m9f9l
I lived in TN for a year.. and saw lightning bugs, which I suppose you could call the southern lights.LOL
8:26 am

I remember my dad telling me about northern lights when I was little and being fascinated. He was a bargeman.

8:32 am
NonnieLight
Car, sorry to hear that but please explain FIP

feline infectious peritonitis
8:33 am
car.eeyore
Feline Infectious Peritonitis is a NASTY disease. I comes in and just devastates the cat. The lose weight and are just "not themselves". By the time the cat gets to the vet, it is too late. There really is nothing that can be done for it anyway.
8:34 am
Arachnight
how many
8:34 am
NonnieLight
Thanks nono and car. Car, so sorry for your loss.
8:34 am

270 arac
8:34 am
car.eeyore
We had to have all the other cats tested and they were considered "carriers" and we could not bring any new cats into our home for over 5 years. It was just awful.
8:35 am
Arachnight
thanks
8:35 am
m9f9l
wow! 5 years! I'm so SO sorry car!
8:37 am
NonnieLight
That is a very long time, car. Our little Jack got the feline leukemia and there was nothing we could do. It broke our hearts when we had to say goodbye to him. He was a rescue and one of the sweetest and most entertaining cats we've had.
8:37 am
jmcnrick
no i me** is it the best pet icon day
8:38 am
jmcnrick
so far all my pets died in their sleep without aid from me
8:38 am
NonnieLight
Boxy is cute!
8:38 am
jmcnrick
:-) best pet because he was no work!
8:41 am
m9f9l
well.. I'm off! oh wow.. I just looked out the window.. BEAUTIFUL pink clouds!
8:41 am
car.eeyore
George and Wheezy were also rescue pets. They often do make great pets! So appreciative and loving!
8:41 am
NonnieLight
Not that that makes it any easier, jmc but at least you didn't have to second guess yourself as to whether or not you were doing the right thing. We've had to do that 3 times and it is not an easy thing to do.
8:41 am
car.eeyore
Ooh! M9! Can you snap a photo?
8:41 am
m9f9l
Think I'll get dressed and go do bank stuff and take a photo from outside..
8:41 am
NonnieLight
bye bye m9
8:41 am
m9f9l
oh.. the pink is already gone!
8:41 am
car.eeyore
Wow JMC. Does that make it easier?
8:41 am
jmcnrick
oddest story was when Cady (Elizabeth Cady Stanton was here full name) died
8:41 am
car.eeyore
Bye m9! Have a GREAT day!
8:42 am
jmcnrick
my in-laws were coming to stay over and i was cooking supper and Cady came up to me in the kitchen
8:42 am
jmcnrick
she said to me as clear as day: I am going to die tonight
8:43 am
NonnieLight
Had she been ill, jmc?
8:43 am
jmcnrick
i stopped what i was doing and sat on the kitchen floor with her and called my hubby and son to say goodbye to her (they both looked at me oddly)
8:43 am
jmcnrick
no but she was in her 20s
8:43 am
car.eeyore
Is this a cat?
8:43 am
NonnieLight
oh my goodness, that is odd and a very long time.
8:43 am
car.eeyore
20?!?!?!? WOWEEEEE!
8:44 am
jmcnrick
anyway i carried her down to the cool basement and when i went down the next morning she was long dead
8:44 am
jmcnrick
yes a cat
8:44 am
car.eeyore
I have goosebumps! What an amazing story!
8:44 am
NonoNanette
me too car.ee
8:44 am
NonnieLight
I'm glad you got to love on her and say goodbye. Amazing!
8:44 am
jmcnrick
we buried her in the back yard under my son's swing because he wanted her to he** him playing
8:45 am
car.eeyore
Although it is sad to have to put a pet down, I appreciate that moment and time to say "Goodbye". With Reilly disappearing earlier this summer, I still feel empty and sad. I didn't get to say goodbye.
8:45 am
jmcnrick
one day he and a friend came running into the house asking for a shovel
8:45 am
car.eeyore
OK. Now I am crying. How positively sweet.
8:45 am
jmcnrick
i will make you laugh car
8:46 am
jmcnrick
so i asked him why he wanted the shovel
8:46 am
NonoNanette
we had to make the decision to have two of our beloved pets put to rest. The others all passed in their sleep. It's not easy either way
8:46 am
jmcnrick
he said he wanted to show his friend Cady
8:46 am
jmcnrick
so I said no of course.
8:46 am
car.eeyore
Ewww...very Stephen King of him!
8:47 am
jmcnrick
so they went out for a while and came back and said they were playing pirates and wanted a shovel to look for buried treasure! lol
8:47 am
jmcnrick
no very little boy of him
8:47 am
NonnieLight
I know what you mean car. I miss our Tzeitel (a golden) who got hit by a car. I felt terrible and not knowing that would be the last time we'd have her was awful.
8:47 am
car.eeyore
I agree Nono, but a peaceful passing is always best, be it naturally or with assistance.
8:47 am
carleekat
NOT liking this grid
8:47 am
car.eeyore
Oh JMC! Too funny!
8:47 am
jmcnrick
i said would the buried treasure be under teh swing set?
8:47 am
NonoNanette
true car.ee
8:47 am
jmcnrick
he was so surprised I guessed!
8:48 am
jmcnrick
he was maybe 5
8:48 am
car.eeyore
Mom's always know!
8:49 am
jmcnrick
okay gots to go someone is coming over to pick up some of this kenyan stuff to sell

6:16 pm
Dorens
sorry wildcat... i was away from computer.. yes, good to be back. the other school i'm at has a lot more special ed.. a whole class of BD kids in fact (many of whom were in my school originally)
6:17 pm
Anniebrook
hi dorens
6:18 pm
Dorens
were you affected by thursday's storm annie? pretty powerful!
6:19 pm
Anniebrook
the only effect was that I was awed by the noise of the wind. everything was moving on the terrace I thought we were going to be blown away like Dorothy.
6:20 pm
Dorens
glad you weren't! don't know if the ruby slippers work anymore
6:26 pm
stidmama
((((Doren)))) I am so glad you have a school this year! (I was worried for a while)
6:26 pm
stidmama
hey Annie!
6:26 pm
stidmama
hello all! *waves*
6:26 pm
stidmama
how is this grid? is it worth my starting?
6:27 pm
Jellen
Hello again...
6:27 pm
Anniebrook
hi Stid and Jellen
6:29 pm
stidmama
hey Jellen! ((hugs)) wanted to thank you for the little note the other day, was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal week.
6:29 pm
Dorens
thanks stid... i actually have two! i took over for the other person who was let go.. but one salary. still, not complaining.. glad to be there,thanks stid
6:30 pm
Jellen
Someday, I be creative again and send you more than a note, stid!
6:30 pm
Jellen
I will be, that is...
6:31 pm
Jellen
*makes note to revisit basic grammar*
6:31 pm
stidmama
jellen, you be who you be whenever you be it... and i be happy to be your friend all the time!
6:32 pm
stidmama
*thinking nothing wrong wit' jellen grammar*
6:32 pm
Anniebrook
I be thinking the same
6:33 pm
stidmama
Doren -- when a teacher is concerned about a student's apparent lack of interest in doing the work... is that an okay thing to bug a school counselor about? For getting background info that might give insight into why lack of motivation ?
6:33 pm
cosdem
sorry to jump in but i worked at a school and thats what they told me the cousnelor is for
6:34 pm
Dorens
of course... and if the counselor doesn't have any background, it might be a nice time to chat and see what they could find
6:34 pm
stidmama
thanks! *hugs doren and cos*
6:34 pm
Dorens
well, cosdem, that is one of 99 other things the counselor is for
6:34 pm
cosdem
well yeah :)
6:34 pm
cosdem
sorry didnt mean to jump in!
6:35 pm
Dorens
no worries... we do that here
6:35 pm
Jellen
I don't know how counselors do all that they're supposed to do...
6:35 pm
cosdem
they're amazing people
6:35 pm
Dorens
and keep smiling too, :)
6:35 pm
stidmama
so... I need to pick 3-5 students to follow closely while I am teaching the unit next month *which is now scarily only two weeks away* thinking I should pick at least one who really seems to struggle. I need to document the impact my teaching has on student learning. *sigh*
6:36 pm
cosdem
they know the name of every student they have which is impressive
6:36 pm
Anniebrook
People who are needed badly are the ones who are downsized...does that make sense?
6:36 pm
Dorens
right now, that is one of my most important jobs at my new school... just smiling and saying hi to all these kids who don't know me
6:36 pm
stidmama
should I include one of the less-motivated students to see if I can help improve the disposition for language arts?
6:37 pm
Dorens
yes stid.. you are the type who will definitely hone in on a struggler. but be careful of the unmotivated... cause it can be a very tough nut to crack in middle school
6:37 pm
stidmama
I am STILL angry that the local school's counselor was downsized a couple years ago. She was AMAZING. Such an asset to the entire school's community (a tiny district with one K-8 school that ships kids out for H.S.)
6:37 pm
mcurlschool
I would say yes, but I'm one that goes after the kids that "fall between the cracks"
6:37 pm
stidmama
thanks Doren. Maybe one who is on the cusp then... and I am definitely one who wants to help the underdogs.
6:38 pm
stidmama
hey mcurl! are we still waiting?
6:38 pm
Dorens
stid, was she downsized to the extent that her job was eliiminated? or just cut hours?
6:38 pm
stidmama
nope. Gone. gone, gone, gone. *sad mama look* I had learned to depend on her to help me strategize and get perspective.
6:38 pm
mcurlschool
yes, unfortunatey according to mamma to be
6:39 pm
Dorens
that is so sad! should be illegal
6:39 pm
stidmama
I think a lot of the parents and teachers were in that boat.
6:39 pm
cosdem
in des moines, ia they eliminated all the counselors, art teachers, librarians ans phys ed teachers due to budget cuts this year
6:39 pm
cosdem
while giving all the principals a huge raise
6:39 pm
mcurlschool
went walking a couple of times today; maybe at least once tomorrow before I head home....but coming back Tuesday night since she'll be induced Wednesday
6:39 pm
Jellen
That's scandalous, cosdem!
6:40 pm
Dorens
cosdem, i was eliminated last march. then august 19 they called me back to be the counselor for both schools in the district.. half a loaf is better than none
6:40 pm
stidmama
okay... *puts extra time into mamma to be's status* when I was waiting for our younger child, I was HUGE and READY. So the nice fellow upstairs bought me TWO bouquets of daffodils. That did the trick. went into labor that same night!
6:40 pm
stidmama
oh gee cos. NOT good.
6:40 pm
cosdem
very true. im glad you got back in
6:40 pm
Dorens
Did any of them get hired back?
6:40 pm
cosdem
yeah some did. the ones with seniority but they now work at ALL the schools
6:40 pm
stidmama
okay, technically I am supposed to be starting a proposal for this project. back in a few...
6:41 pm
mcurlschool
due to cutbacks at our district we have a special ed teacher that has never worked at the elementary level and has no desire to be there....lucky me, he's my supervising teacher
6:41 pm
Dorens
later stiddles
6:42 pm
cosdem
its the administration who will do whatever to save money and shortcut the teachers and students
6:42 pm
Dorens
well you are lucky mc, if he's your supervisor, sounds like you can do what you want
6:42 pm
Dorens
our governor is totally insane
6:43 pm
cosdem
yeah he put blame on schundler for that money mistake
6:43 pm
Dorens
that be he
6:43 pm
cosdem
i guess the buck doesnt stop at his desk
6:44 pm
Dorens
he blames all the ills of the economy on teachers... sounds like hitler back in the thirties..
6:44 pm
Dorens
he just proposed new pension rules that will wreak havoc on the schools this year cause everyone will retire before they are put in effect... he'll get his wish -- he will destroy nj public schools,which are among the best in the country
6:45 pm
cosdem
he'll be gone in 2013 i think with the teacher unions out in force
6:45 pm
Dorens
he will destroy us before 2012
6:45 pm
cosdem
thats the problem i agree

well i'm sorry for you vm, perhaps your experiences in schools were not happy as a result of that. but still, what christie is doing is destroying the system, and although I agree it needs major changes, he is not going about it in a constructive manner at all. bye jilli

One day, while going to the store, I passed by a nursing home. On the
front lawn were six old ladies lying naked on the grass.
I thought this was a bit unusual but continued on my
way to the store.
On my return trip, I passed the same nursing home with
the same six old ladies lying naked on the lawn.
This time my curiosity got the best of me and I went
inside to talk to the Nursing Home Administrator.
Do you know there are six ladies lying naked on your
front lawn?'
'Yes,' she said. 'They're retired prostitutes, they're having a yard
sale.'

Hello!Here is a story of clues in ca4/5 you need some help. I was an early ri 5/10 this morning in that I got up earlier th4/5 I usually do.I ai5/14 to finish puzzle knowing I had all day to babble in peace.Now I am no way ne 4/4 to finishing and giving up on this grid. It ir4/4 me when I do not get my fireworks. I felt so de 5/12 doing the grid today.I didn't babble with ea4/4 today.I could not find many words, so I called for my monkeys which was a bad id 4/5. Monkeys drove me insa4/4 again. When I went to get them, they were playing outsi 4/5 in the sand du 5/14 in the dessert. They were me 4/5 and made fun of me for struggling with grid.They were hell ra6/18s and made a mess of my house. They tore out the se 5/12 in my curtains. The Monkeys would not even sc 4/5 this grid for any words. They were not te 4/5 players & I did not give them a di 4/6 today. I even ra 5/10ed my arms to te 4/4 off their monkey ears, but I just se 4/4 them off on their me5/16 way instead. My husband, whose na 4/5 is Mike, wants the computer. Now I am going to ar5/10 out of this seat, get out of my je5/20 and go wash my ha 4/5. Th 4/5 I am going to bed. Bye to all!

10:59 pm
Jellen
na 5/10, the second?
10:59 pm
Uneaixoise
jmc, my mom's brother had really bad vision -- she told me he tried everything possible to get into the military, 'cause it was so shameful during WWII not to be "over there"
11:00 pm
Jellen
Oops, nm...
11:00 pm
Uneaixoise
and, of course, the OTHER brother fought in the Battle of the Bulge -- I'm sure that didn't make him feel any better about not being in the service . . .

11:04 pm
