Christine

NonnieLight - I think she was a housemaid, in the Liverpool area of England, and the Mormons were looking for women to come to US (also men, I guess). And I guess life was so hard in England, anything sounded better. But, I've seen a program about that trek, andd I think many people died on the way.

Yes, many lost their lives. It was a difficult trek. Especially for those who traveled by handcart. Not many supplies can be put in a handcart and even if they could, then they have to be hauled across rough terrain. I can't even begin to imagine...

1:05 am

Christine

When my sister started the family search, she found an entry for the wife of our gr.gr.something, and dItalian who came to England in the early 1800s. It was posted on the Mormon site, but there's no mention of the woman who came to US.

NonnieLight

Christine, one night when my mother-in-law were together she jotted down about 2-3 generations of who "begat" whom and did I think to get a copy of that? Of course not! Funny how things that didn't seem important then are treasures now.

NonnieLight - I googled Willi and Martin Handcart Company, and it state of 2962, 250 died on the trail. I thought it was a higher number.

1:23 am

NonnieLight

I thought is was a higher number also.

1:24 am

Christine

I've bookmarked the page, so I'll check it later.

1:25 am

Christine

Of course, 250 is a high number, but I thought it was closer to 50%.

1:30 am

NonnieLight

urshy, we had a visitor from Sa, from Plet, last week. He was an old biz colleague in the glass business in SA

3:20 am

morning all

4:03 am

sprite

darn I missed lobo!

4:04 am

rubyfoo

good morning sprite. How are you this cool, damp Sunday?

4:04 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo, am okish, and you?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

not looking forward to winter and cold weather! But John is coming to visit on Wednesday for husband's birthday (probably, that is, as he's coming on standby)

4:05 am

rubyfoo

so that should brighten things up a bit!

4:06 am

sprite

oh how lovely. Tell him hi, I still enjoy his music a lot. Very nice for husband that John is there for his BD too.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

husband is having terrible back pain, new for him, a result of the dog attack when the dog took him down

4:06 am

rubyfoo

yes, and nice for me to take some of the b-day pressure off

4:06 am

sprite

oh dang, that is awful.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

his back hurts more than the bites did

4:07 am

rubyfoo

he is taking MY pain killers as I always have back pain, but have learned to live with it

4:07 am

sprite

probably the place where most of the stress settled too :(
If I can sit long enough, I will put up some Terra pics on flicker for your husband.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

he is not accustomed to having pain

4:08 am

rubyfoo

that might cheer him up as he is very depressed

4:08 am

sprite

that makes it harder on him... and on you. Pain is an energy devourer at best, and ruins your life at worst.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I ordered some fossils for him from England, but they still haven't arrived!

4:09 am

sprite

better start making a lovely page for him then, with pictures and the promise they are in the mail...

4:09 am

rubyfoo

since I always have at least a little pain, I have learned to manage it and therefore live pretty well, just knowing my limitations. He thinks that if he pushes himself, it will go away. And, of course, he won't listen to me!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

that's a good idea

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I asked John to look for another fossil in Austin but I don't know if he'll have time

4:10 am

sprite

I know, living with pain is an art in itself. I never listened to anyone either, had to find out the hard way how to handle things. Just love him and in the meanwhile take good care of yourself.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I think he's part chow chow, same stubborness

4:11 am

sprite

lol

4:13 am

sprite

we had such a laugh when my love had his birthday. His hat had not arrived from Australia yet and we managed to buy him a party hat, the shape of a real hat, but bright orange and with holes in the rim for beer glasses.

4:13 am

sprite

will never forget his fa4 when he saw it :D

4:17 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute!

4:17 am

sprite

entirely thanks to the WK football, lol, or we'd never have been able to find something like that.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

see you later, sweetie, that is a good idea about making him a fossil collage in a card!

4:21 am

sprite

and fun to do too :)
Bye rubyfoo, have a good day

Mom

Good morning Boo. How are you?

9:43 am

stidmama

hey all... another tiny grid, eh? I woke up early from coughing. I am worried that I might not make it in to teach tomorrow. That would be bad, since my professor is supposed to observe me. *sigh* on the other hand, I have not "rested" this weekend all that much. *whine whine whine*

9:44 am

Mom

{{{Stid}}}, what discipline and determination you have. I'm sorry about your cough

9:44 am

Mom

Stid, may I ask you a question about your cough?

9:44 am

Boobear

I am great Mom and you

9:44 am

Mom

oh, just fine, thanks

9:44 am

stidmama

9:45 am

hey varumba

9:46 am

varumba

9:46 am

oh okay, sorry about that. I was curious because of all the stess you are under.

9:47 am

you seem to be picking up every bug that is floating around, Stid

9:47 am

Boobear

hello varumba

9:47 am

hi boo

9:48 am

Boobear

clue for the second fa4/8

9:48 am

stidmama

I used to, Mom -- but last year and the two years before I was generally much healthier than in the past. I really think it's because I don't live within 60 miles of the school I was placed at for the fall. Otherwise, I have been pretty healthy the last few years.

9:48 am

Boobear

oops found it

9:49 am

Mom

Oh Stid, that is quite a drive

9:50 am

Mom

**crosses fingers** hope this is the last of your illnesses

9:50 am

stidmama

yes, it was pretty stupid for me to accept this placement, but I really didn't know that it would be quite as difficult as it is. Oh well, only about 5 weeks to go.

9:51 am

Mom

I don't think it was stupid at all, Stid. You wouldn't have known otherwise and it might have always been in the back of your mind, should I have? Now you know.

9:53 am

stidmama

Thanks Mom. Thing is, a woman my age probably ought to have thought more and been more assertive. I am still learning... probably a good model for my students!

9:54 am

stidmama

ah. NBT! and down to 26. some of these tiles are really hiding a lot!

9:55 am

Mom

9:59 am

stidmama

10:31 am

stidmama

lawyer, I would love some help. I have two CA, one Ci, five CO a CR and four CU and my eyes are crossed!

10:31 am

rubyfoo

why can't Italian hellos be plural?

10:31 am

lawyer-1

I was in Geneva 2 years ago...next week we'll be in NW Spain

10:31 am

varumba

because it doesn't exist! plus would be ciai..... really weird, lol

10:32 am

stidmama

ciao would become ciai in the plural...

10:32 am

rubyfoo

best food in the world in Spain!!!

10:32 am

varumba

i agree, they know how to eat over there too ;)

10:33 am

rubyfoo

10:34 am

stidmama

10:35 am

rubyfoo

I'm stuck on the h and on the with-hand e. Anybody have a hint?

10:38 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a wonderful trip, lawyer

10:38 am

stidmama

right-hand e is greek plural E letter

10:38 am

varumba

H is a word for those who inherit

10:38 am

lawyer-1

the h gets your money when u die

10:38 am

rubyfoo

that's right-hand e*

10:39 am

stidmama

the h is the person who gets the loot when you die

10:39 am

rubyfoo

all three are ER, two 5s and a 6

10:40 am

lawyer-1

there is the E that is a girl's name and the plural

10:40 am

stidmama

10:59 am

hi all

11:00 am

ardilla

another small grid

11:00 am

dcseain

Sumo wrestlers on vacation bowling au nauturale dressed only in tattoos is weird

11:00 am

dcseain

hi, ardilla, m9, stid, et al

11:01 am

dcseain

that blue kimono looks great on you, adilla :)

11:01 am

Uneaixoise

seain, was reading yesterday about the stinkbugs in DC -- what's up with THAT?! LOL

11:01 am

dcseain

we have stink bugs and ragweed in droves

11:01 am

dcseain

even more stinkbugs than last year

11:02 am

dcseain

the theory is the drought caused it, or the harsh winter, or the intersection thereof. The ragweed is due to drought -- it thrives in dry

11:02 am

Uneaixoise

ragweed, I understand but what did you do to deserve stinkbugarama

11:02 am

ardilla

thanx dcseain

11:02 am

Uneaixoise

yeah, ragweed's having a ball here in TN as well :-)

11:03 am

dcseain

they're easy to deal with, they don't bite, the don't run, you can vacuum them up, or pick them up and flush them or whate

11:03 am

Uneaixoise

kinda like when cave crickets invade . . .

11:03 am

Uneaixoise

altho they DO hop away!

11:04 am

stidmama

actually m, this flu is really wearing me down. having trouble thinking, and reading is harder than normal. AND I need to pull things together for the back to school night on Tuesday. *sigh*

11:05 am

dcseain

crickets are weeks away yet here, happily. Tail end of stinkbugs overlaps the start of indoor crickets, just as end of cicadas overlaps start of outdoor crickets. The latter is how Summer ends sonically if there's enough trees around

11:05 am

Uneaixoise

soooo sorry you're feeling so crummy, stiddy :-(

11:05 am

dcseain

rest, hydrate, and move slowly, stid

11:05 am

Uneaixoise

my house gets treated quarterly but I still see the occasional Jurassic cave cricket! LOL

11:05 am

m9f9l

oh stid, yuckers! Hope you feel better soon! Like before Tuesday11

11:06 am

Uneaixoise

pups begging to go out -- back in a mo

11:18 am

stidmama

thanks all... we'll see how it goes. I just found a really great online calendar generator program. Going to get it set up today so I have a rough outline for the parents if they are interested. I have enough energy for that, even if actual lesson plans are not coming together.

11:20 am

m9f9l

what a great idea stid!

11:21 am

ardilla

*sending homemade-ish chicken noodle soup and choclit to stiddy

11:22 am

stidmama

fortunately, I am doing a project-based unit... so at least 6 of the 15 days are mostly for student work! LOL but I still need to do some instruction, which will be in the form of "minilessons" with time to practice each time I teach.

11:22 am

stidmama

mmmmm. thanks ardilla!

11:23 am

dcseain

food sounds good, bbs

11:28 am

11:35 am

redturtlehead

it is fairly do-able Leslie Anne.

11:42 am

m9f9l

so seain, does your icon mean that your mood is computer light bluish/gray??

11:46 am

dcseain

LOL m9

11:47 am

dcseain

pot's heating for the mirepoix -- minestrone will be had

11:47 am

m9f9l

onions, carrots and celery?

11:47 am

dcseain

indeed! Tiny hint of garlic in this mix too

11:48 am

LeslieAnn

i don't know what a mirepoix is, but it would be a high-scoring babble word

11:48 am

dcseain

two parts onion, on part carrot, one part celery, sweated until soft is a mirepoix. Sometimes, a tad of garlic in it too

11:49 am

LeslieAnn

how do you sweat something?

11:49 am

dcseain

for me, mirepoix is the start of many a savory dish

11:49 am

LeslieAnn

^ not domestic

11:49 am

dcseain

cook on low heat until soft so the veggies retain color and texture, if a softened texture

11:50 am

dcseain

i use an oil base, but a butter base is good too

11:50 am

Jindigo

afternoon everyone... back for my last 2

11:50 am

LeslieAnn

sounds good, will have to remember that

11:50 am

dcseain

hi, jindigo

11:50 am

Jindigo

Hi Seain

11:51 am

dcseain

it's a staple in French and Northern Italian cooking

11:51 am

m9f9l

me too seain. although I have celery issues.

11:51 am

dcseain

and Thanksgiving stuffing ain't right w/out it in my family :)

11:51 am

Jindigo

i need a clue for ER 5/14 and SA 512 please

11:51 am

m9f9l

really? i do celery/onion in my stuffing.. but not the carrot.

11:51 am

m9f9l

ms jong.

11:52 am

LeslieAnn

er 5/14 is like what a volcano does, but different fourth letter

11:52 am

dcseain

each is different, m9, and they're all good.

11:52 am

dcseain

ty, Leslie

11:52 am

m9f9l

oops. 5/FOURTEEN.

11:53 am

m9f9l

sa 5/12 ends with solid water.

11:53 am

dcseain

ty m9, brb, need to go start cooking the soup base

11:53 am

Jindigo

ty - tyvm!

11:54 am

m9f9l

so long as there's lots of sage in my stuffing, I'm happy.LOL

11:54 am

LeslieAnn

woot found all the sixes by myself. guess i have to go listless now. :)

11:55 am

Jindigo

off to do laudry, answer emails, plan the weeks menus and general household stuff. enjoy the day *poof*

11:55 am

LeslieAnn

bye, congrats jin!

11:56 am

LeslieAnn

p.s. when m9 clued "ms. jong" i swear i though, "mah?" *facepalm*

11:56 am

LeslieAnn

*thought

11:56 am

m9f9l

LOL Leslie!

11:56 am

m9f9l

yeah.. burn the list!lol

11:57 am

m9f9l

(I didn't go listless though... I need to be super efficient and get 'er dun while boy is asleep)

12:00 pm

LeslieAnn

everyone is asleep here! but mostly since i already took the dogs to the dog park this morning :)

12:02 pm

dcseain

oops pot too small, so i'll be starting the potatoes and mushrooms in the larger one, then bring the mirepoix over to it. Sigh

12:02 pm

m9f9l

no biggie seain!

12:03 pm

dcseain

indeed, just an extra pot to wash :) At least the house smells nice thanks to the aromatics

12:03 pm

m9f9l

pots are so easy to wash though.. if you do them right away.

12:03 pm

dcseain

exactly :)

12:03 pm

m9f9l

I like to just do it right as the pot gets emptied.

12:03 pm

dcseain

so, off to start potatos and mushrooms. so do i most of the time

12:04 pm

m9f9l

I bet it smells good! I should make some chicken soup. Since we've got sickies today.

12:06 pm

LeslieAnn

there we go, nbt with 13 left

12:07 pm

m9f9l

nice Leslie!!!

12:09 pm

LeslieAnn

why can't you plural the italian goodbye?

12:13 pm

m9f9l

hmm... like "they said their (italian goodbyes)' ??

12:14 pm

LeslieAnn

maybe that is not grammatically correct in italian

12:14 pm

dcseain

same reason you cannot plural aloha

12:14 pm

dcseain

so, onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. Should be good, no?

12:15 pm

LeslieAnn

i'm not sure, seain. i'll be over to test in a few.

12:15 pm

dcseain

ci4 works like aloha in Italian, so no, not grammatically correct in Italian :)

12:15 pm

LeslieAnn

oh well. as i only have 1 c left i was trying to wish the word into existence

12:18 pm

LeslieAnn

have a de 5/14, what is the other?

12:18 pm

dcseain

12:53 pm

12:57 pm

Judi

*punches clock* Okay I'm in. How's everybody today?

12:57 pm

dcseain

hi, judi, i'm alright. brb dryer done

1:01 pm

dcseain

yay. soup's almost ready :D

1:01 pm

dcseain

this is the 1st soup i've made from scratch

1:02 pm

Judi

Mmmm. What kind of soup, dc?

1:03 pm

dcseain

onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. so, minestrone-esque

1:03 pm

Judi

**sluuuuurp** sounds good to me!

1:05 pm

dcseain

i think i'll finish a bowl with some red pepper and parmesean

1:05 pm

dcseain

parmagiano is heard to spell in English

1:06 pm

dcseain

hard to spell, even :)

1:08 pm

Judi

You could just say "grated cheese" and leave it to our imaginations.

1:09 pm

dcseain

ah, but there are 6 cheeses in the refrigerator, and i plan to use the parmagiano reggiano, as the manchego or the cheddar would taste wrong

1:09 pm

Judi

True, true.

1:10 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh, that sounds good, Seain, I make a lot of soups like that and others, soup's my specialty!! don't eat everything raw, just most things, still love my soup in the colder weather!

1:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

well I wouldn't use cheese of course!

1:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

unless it's made with rice, soya or hemp milk

1:11 pm

dcseain

i may not do the cheese, we'll see how i'm feeling about it :)

1:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

putting any pasta in that soup, Seain?

1:11 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

minestrone's got some in usually

1:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

macaroni, penne, that sorta thing

1:12 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

maccaroni, yeah, when I can type!!

1:12 pm

dcseain

i've not yet, in part because i have no green beans, so it's not really a minestrone in my eyes

1:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh yeah, I see

1:13 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

just a nice vegetable soup then

1:13 pm

dcseain

i think the cat will miss the balcony when we move, as new place likely won't have that.

1:13 pm

dcseain

quite so, George

1:13 pm

dcseain

Minestrone was my inspiration for it, though

1:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh just got your email Seain, yeah, will see to that!

1:20 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

they look all right, only the first is a bit dark

1:20 pm

dcseain

Thank you, Sir :)

1:21 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

very nice, handsome bloke you are!

1:21 pm

dcseain

1:21 pm

dcseain

1:22 pm

dcseain

they're, not their. sigh

1:22 pm

dcseain

the brightness of the sun fascinates me

1:22 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I hafta learn not to be so free with the compliments though, ha! roofer came to start work repairing the damage and he had this tall, strapping young man with him, bloody gorgeous!! so here's me asking him 'who's that gorgeous young fella working with you?' and he says 'MY SON!!' oops, ha, ha!!

1:23 pm

dcseain

hah

1:23 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

glad he has a sense of humour, we both laughed!!

1:23 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

oh your moving eh? where to??

1:24 pm

dcseain

moving to Arlington, Virginia, the county just across the river from Washington, DC.

1:25 pm

dcseain

it's a small county that operates more like a city, what in England is called a Unitary Authority, than a county.

sad story min,i was lucky,i solved that problem by getting the wife a subscrip to babble;)

5:22 pm

Minveryork

My husband has no interest in Babble whatsoever. All he cares about is sports of which I have no interest.

5:24 pm

crosshair

i try to be patient with the wifes choices of games,as i am sure she bites her tongue with the games and stuff i do online as well.it all balances out in the end

5:24 pm

Minveryork

The great thing about his love of sports is that when he's watching sports,I can babble which is every nite

5:25 pm

crosshair

just order the special sports chanel for him then

5:25 pm

Minveryork

My babble time & his sports time balances out, right?

5:25 pm

crosshair

yup

5:25 pm

crosshair

yup
works for me

5:26 pm

Minveryork

As long as he gets Yankee station,he needs no other sports channels.He just watches baseball and football

5:27 pm

crosshair

your story got me down to 24 left;/

5:28 pm

Minveryork

Unfortunately the Yankees is only available on cable which is expensive.Yankees are not available on dish network which is cheaper.So I am paying double just for one channel. Another thing I am not happy about.

5:28 pm

Minveryork

Oh that's great crosshair! I am glad it helped you out

5:28 pm

Minveryork

I am here if you need help with the rest of the words

5:29 pm

crosshair

mymrs loves her cable t.v and i could care less about television programming it costs me 85 a month but i bite my tongue for the most part

5:30 pm

crosshair

i can get any movie or show i like online and do not see the need for cable,but concessions must be made from time to time

5:30 pm

carleekat

we were 1 month away from 20 years when my husband moved out

5:36 pm

Minveryork

Hubby and I dated from 1993 to 2005. Then we had a 3 year engagement. How are you going to celebrate?

5:37 pm

Minveryork

Hello carleekat!How are you?Welcome back to puzzle

5:37 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations grandy on 27 years of marriage!YAY

5:37 pm

crosshair

tight times,maybe dinner out and a small gift

5:37 pm

carleekat

thanks minver

5:37 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations grandy on fireworks! Hooray for you

5:38 pm

carleekat

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~* for grandy

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Yes,tight for us.Don't even want to go out to dininer

5:38 pm

Minveryork

Sorry your husband left you carleekat. That's so sad!

5:39 pm

Minveryork

I have to say,I have thought about leaving hubby too

5:39 pm

crosshair

our rough years were 4th,7th,10th,14th

5:39 pm

Minveryork

That's what marriage is, through good times and bad

5:40 pm

crosshair

7th was nasty

5:40 pm

carleekat

its not sad minver...... its... i dont want to say relief...b/c not all times were bad...but...we dont fit...him leaving is right..albeit difficult..its right for us

5:41 pm

crosshair

i am also sorry carlee,20 years...

5:41 pm

carleekat

i have 2 great kids....

5:42 pm

Minveryork

That is one great thing to come out of your marriage

5:43 pm

Minveryork

Hubby and I are polar opposites which makes it hard.

5:43 pm

Minveryork

That saying "opposites attract" does not apply to us.

5:44 pm

Minveryork

I still do love him deep inside, but it is just so difficult

5:44 pm

carleekat

like i said...no all bad...we just.....dont "work" well together...we are never a team...its like we fight eachother getting to our goals...rather then help and support....when we have been a team its me supporting him...but if the situation is ever reversed....he either does nothing to support..or fights me

5:45 pm

carleekat

we dont "fit"...ok...nuf of that rot...

5:45 pm

crosshair

wife and i have some opposites,but many things the same,we both love a good book,walks in the hills,sunset canoe rides,horses,muscle cars,feeding each other sinful foods in bed,we have danced in the rain..so it is more matches than not

5:45 pm

Minveryork

I think if you have a good relationship,then it should not be difficult. I do know that it takes two to make a relationship fail or succeed. So I am NOT perfect!

5:46 pm

carleekat

nor am I minver..and i share alot of the blame... he would say most...i say some

5:47 pm

Minveryork

It is always easier to put the blame on somebody else

5:47 pm

crosshair

i have many faults myself

5:48 pm

Minveryork

So do I. I don't clean. For many years I didn't cook. I just started cooking. I do not like it, but do my part.

5:49 pm

Minveryork

I tend to be a goody two-shoes and do not know how to have fun according to my husband. I agree a little

5:50 pm

Minveryork

I spend too much time in front of computer or the tv

5:50 pm

Vmachine

so i have a non-game related question for the sake of opinion

5:50 pm

crosshair

hit me with it;)

5:50 pm

Minveryork

Hi Vmachine!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:51 pm

Minveryork

Yes,let's move onto a more positive topic in the chat

5:51 pm

carleekat

Vmachine

5:52 pm

crosshair

sounds good so far..;))

5:53 pm

carleekat

Vm likes cougars !!!! < kidding....go on>

5:53 pm

crosshair

nothing better for a young guy than a woman who has lived a little

5:53 pm

carleekat

does it feel weird to u Vm?

5:53 pm

crosshair

unless she has 3 ex,es and 7 kids

5:53 pm

carleekat

does it feel weird to u Vm?

5:53 pm

Minveryork

Age should not matter as long as it is legal Vmachine.

5:54 pm

tceicher

f

5:54 pm

tceicher

eh

5:54 pm

KatieMcG

if you are both happy then there is no problem

5:54 pm

Minveryork

Who your person is on inside matters more than age.

5:55 pm

Minveryork

Hi tceicher! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:55 pm

tceicher

da

5:55 pm

crosshair

thats the who thing 21vs 33? if she is totally availabe with no strings and you are both comfortable,it is all good

5:55 pm

Minveryork

Hi KatieMcG!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

5:55 pm

tceicher

sorry, forgot to click the "no chat"

5:56 pm

crosshair

when i was 20,i spent some time with a lady in her 30,s..thought i had died and gone to heaven:)

5:56 pm

KatieMcG

ty, about to go to bed when i realised I had hardly done any - must go soon though need sleep!

5:56 pm

Minveryork

Even if she has an ex and some kids, it is okay. Many people move on after divorce and remarry and start another family. It just depends on your situation.

5:58 pm

carleekat

my cousin is in his mid 30's now..been with a woman 12 years his senior for 10+ years..her kids in their 20's now...and they are fab together

5:58 pm

Minveryork

See, there you go! I rest my case!

6:00 pm

carleekat

they absolutely adore eachother...

6:02 pm

carleekat

Vm..as long as u and she do not feel weird... there is nothing wrong

6:19 pm

lexophile

thx again, min

6:20 pm

Minveryork

yw

6:21 pm

crosshair

mm..good ham,but the applewood smoked ham might be better when diced up and added to eggs,or rice or whatever.has a real bold taste,wheras the hickory hams are good as a main dish

6:24 pm

Minveryork

How do you add babblers into that "My Friends" tab?

6:24 pm

crosshair

go to who is online and add who you wish

6:25 pm

lexophile

I have never looked at that until now... wow, the things one can do!

6:25 pm

crosshair

i just added min

6:27 pm

Minveryork

Thanks crosshair!Now what is the advantage of that tab?Was going to put Sprite in there so I can access the icon themes. I used to have her in my favorites.

6:28 pm

Minveryork

Can't add sprite now since she isn't online right now.

6:29 pm

lexophile

didn't know you could actually see who was lurking!!! and all this time I thought I was invisible unless I chatted... kinda scary, isn't it?

6:29 pm

crosshair

no huge advantage just you can find your favs fast

6:29 pm

crosshair

we have been watching you lex...mwahahaha

6:30 pm

lexophile

at the risk of sounding like a stalker (which I am NOT), you are one of my favs, crossy!

6:30 pm

crosshair

awwww...

6:30 pm

crosshair

awwww...

6:30 pm

lexophile

6:30 pm

crosshair

6:31 pm

crosshair

bacon lovers UNITE!!!

6:32 pm

lexophile

well, I am down to 3 pathetic C's, but I must be off to feed my non-eater (who happens to want bacon and hash browns right now!)

6:33 pm

lexophile

my 13 y/o eats virtually nothing; my 12 y/o will eat just about anything.... toodles!

6:35 pm

crosshair

when your 13 year old is eating nothing have the 12 year old reach over with a pre planned move and grab a forkfull off the 13 year olds plate and smile evily

6:36 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lexophile! I will see you later on in the chog!

6:37 pm

blueheron

6:38 pm

blueheron

bacon, yes if it's crisp:)

6:38 pm

Minveryork

It used to be that I wouldn't be able to see myself in that Who's Online tab. Only others could see if I was online. Now I am able to see myself there. Not that I would not know if I was babbling or not. LOL!

6:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello blueheron! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

rofl every time he writes "mass of muscle" I get the giggles...

7:23 pm

Bugsaw

Hi stid. How are you feeling today?

7:25 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

7:25 pm

stidmama

better this evening, but tired. and discouraged that all weekend I was too tired to think or read or work at all.

7:25 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

7:25 pm

Bugsaw

Relax. Be gentle with yourself. You were sick

7:25 pm

stidmama

tempted to stay home tomorrow, but desperately want to get together with my teacher (who was gone Thurs-Fri) and my professor who is supposed to observe me in the afternoon.

7:25 pm

Jillyjill

Hi to you too MInv!!

7:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

7:26 pm

Bugsaw

hi Min and Jillyjill

7:26 pm

stidmama

I feel... terribly behind, not highly motivated to try to figure out what the various parts are that I am supposed to attend to, and -- confused about exactly what the expectations are for my work.

7:26 pm

featherbee

hi stid! hi everyone!

7:26 pm

stidmama

that's me. how about you bugs? staying out of trouble, I hope?

7:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello featherbee!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

7:27 pm

Minveryork

I was not highly motivated to do anything but babble

7:27 pm

Bugsaw

perhaps take the day off but connect with them by phone so they will hear how sick you are but that you are still working on improving? Would that help>

7:27 pm

featherbee

stid, if it's any consolation, i usually feel terribly behind for all of september

7:28 pm

Minveryork

I just saw and read your profile Bugsaw. Very funny!

7:28 pm

Bugsaw

I am feeling a bit low today. I am not really happy with the philosophy of the school I am at and I am not challenged there by anything except the administration.

7:28 pm

Bugsaw

I liked looking foreward to going to work

7:28 pm

stidmama

already spoke yesterday with my professor on the phone. was coughing and hacking then, so she knew I was feeling awful. I just feel that this is an opportunity to get some feedback on my actual unit that I will begin teaching in a week.

7:29 pm

stidmama

I am so sorry to hear that bugs. hard to stay motivated when that is true.

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

Remember stid, they don't want sick people coming to school to infect those who are still well for some reason

7:29 pm

stidmama

thanks feather. It would be less of an issue if I didn't have all the grad school garbage on top of the teaching bits. I think I could do the teaching/parent contacts/lesson planning okay if I didn't also have to worry about papers and other deadlines.

7:31 pm

Bugsaw

You have so much on your plate stid. Go easy on yourself

7:31 pm

carleekat

hi all....

7:31 pm

Bugsaw

hewd

7:31 pm

stidmama

true bugs -- the thing is, I KNOW I caught this one from the students/other teachers! LOL but an extra day... *sigh*

7:32 pm

carleekat

passing stiddy some choklit to slow her down

7:32 pm

stidmama

nope. that one doesn't work...

7:32 pm

stidmama

*screeches to a halt to grab choclits*

7:32 pm

Bugsaw

carleekat and I will make you a chocolit flavoured hot lemonade. Will that help

7:33 pm

carleekat

and passing stiddy some sparkling hard cider to wash it down

7:33 pm

carleekat

and then handing stiddy the rest of the bottle...

7:33 pm

stidmama

glug glug glug

7:34 pm

carleekat

( its made here locally...this weekend was applefest :)

7:34 pm

Bugsaw

perhaps something stronger than cider would help her pass out and sweat the sickness out while she sleeps.

7:34 pm

Bugsaw

I love fresh apple juice or fresh cider

7:34 pm

carleekat

( I think a 1.5L bottle will do the trick...no bugs..this HARD cider...)

7:35 pm

Bugsaw

she is quiet now. perhaps she has already passed out . sshhhh

7:35 pm

stidmama

yes! I was drinking bits of rum lemonade last night when I kept waking up coughing.

7:35 pm

stidmama

LOL you two!

7:36 pm

Hi jmc and Jilly and Pini

Minveryork

Thank you Jacula. Glad you liked my story, but I bet you are already finished with puzzle,right? Congrats!

9:58 pm

Minveryork

Can't afford to get another computer right now Nef.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Min - Yea, you're right. I finished it in about 30 mins last UK morning.

9:59 pm

I'm trying to get to grips with the new computer my son built for me. Vista changes everything and I still can't find all of my 'stuff'.

10:01 pm

crosshair

ugh..vista..upgrade it to win 7 asap

10:02 pm

Nef

Min, I bought 2 HP laptops 2 years ago at $300 each for Christmas of 2008. They are refurbs; but still work perfectly (and my Dtr hasn't been the easiest person on electronics through the years)

10:02 pm

Jacula

Hi Crossy. The thing that was bugging me most was the way it predicts what you're going to type - which is a nightmare when playing Babble. That's turned off now.

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Keeping fingers crossed that this will fix HP laptop,

10:19 pm

Nef

Bye Jilly!

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Jillyjill! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log!

10:22 pm

Nef

I really hope that helps fix your problem, Min. I don't think you have to download that wireless ass't. because it isn't on our HP (I went and looked for it after getting FW a few minutes ago

10:22 pm

NonnieLight

nef, that reminds me of something that happened a work recently. We have to write detailed reports on our residents for record keeping purposes. One of the staff use the word "emesis". The supervisor returned the form asking what it meant and because SHE was familiar with the word, made the staff change it to vomit.

10:23 pm

Minveryork

So what do I need to do to get my wireless working?I guess I should just be glad to get internet on the HP.

10:23 pm

Minveryork

Thanks for looking for me Nef. The information helps.

10:24 pm

NonnieLight

I meant because she "wasn't" familiar with the word...

10:24 pm

Nef

it should work as a wireless because you downloaded the broadband wireless LAN

10:25 pm

Nef

Wow, Nonnie! What type of person is this that she doesn't know that emesis is the correct term?

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

belated whoo hoo nef

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

good night

10:25 pm

Minveryork

I have it on my flashdrive now.I'll install it tomorrow.

10:27 pm

Nef

Nite jmc!!!

10:27 pm

NonnieLight

Not doctors--residential care facility and this was a direct care staff, gwen. Nef--or at least pull out the dictionary and look the word up before she makes herself look silly.

10:27 pm

Minveryork

Think of the number two for that de 5/16 word BDG.

10:28 pm

Minveryork

A de 5/14 is de plus frozen water Book Doctor Gwen.

10:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lawdy lawdy i'm blind TY min!

10:28 pm

Nef

Gwen, they are both de 5's the first is to thaw something de 5/14, the second is the lowest card in the deck (de 5/16)

Book Doctor Gwen

10:55 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Book Doctor Gwen! I will see you tomorrow.

11:06 pm

stidmama

bye gwen, hey all. you're up late, min -- are you okay?

11:06 pm

stidmama

I decided to call in sick, on the advice of my many friends who are far wiser than I am... hence my presence here.

11:07 pm

stidmama

oh Nef, is DH having trouble?

11:07 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that.

11:08 pm

Minveryork

I am trying to fix my stupid HP and it is NOT working!

11:09 pm

stidmama

oh oh Nef, not good. can I help?

11:09 pm

stidmama

I meant min. *sigh*

11:09 pm

stidmama

brain and figners not completely aligned.

11:11 pm

Minveryork

Crosshair walked me through lotta steps earlier, but the end result did not fix the computer. So annoyed!

11:16 pm

stidmama

that's too bad. is it running too slow, or ... ?

11:17 pm

Minveryork

No, I can't get the internet to work on my HP laptop.

11:17 pm

Minveryork

Crosshair helped me download a driver, but still does not work. I'm back at square one again stidmama. :(

11:18 pm

Nef

snoozed off there a bit over on FB. Min, when it didn';t work did you download the wireless ass't?

11:19 pm

stidmama

oh. do you want me to ask my tom? he's a programmer professionally...

11:19 pm

Nef

YAY, stid; get Tom to help Min!

11:21 pm

stidmama

he'll log in and see what he can do. hold on.

11:21 pm

stidmama

it might be easier to have someone local do it though.

11:21 pm

Minveryork

Thank you stidmama, but I am giving up for now. It's so late and I need to goto bed. Maybe another time.

11:22 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

11:22 pm

stidmama

that's okay min. maybe another time. hope the week will go well for you!

11:22 pm

stidmama

*stern mama look at buggery laptop*

11:22 pm

stidmama

tom says if you're still here, plug in the laptop to the cable for internet and have windows do the update....

11:22 pm

stidmama

worth a try tomorrow.

11:23 pm

Nef

Oh, and stid, DH has spastic legs when he goes to bed (this has gone on for many years; it isn't restless leg syndrome; it's the MS). So he goes to bed first, then once his legs settle down *I* can go to bed. I can't help it; but I do get cranky if his legs bother me

11:25 pm

stidmama

oh, I see. that's not a lot of fun for either of you. oh well, I guess that means you get some "me time" on a regular basis.

11:25 pm

stidmama

MS sux

11:27 pm

stidmama

I read in your profile that you finally got a good ramp put in -- is he pretty much in the chair all the time now?

11:27 pm

Nef

it does; but right now he's doing better; so we won't complain or get discouraged. So many diseases don't have the possible remissions that MS has

11:30 pm

Nef

Nope. Today he used the walker to go to church and to Costco. He overdid it; but he was feeling strong tiol about half way through Costco (and we only went there for fruits, veggies and the giant Tums size of antacids)

11:30 pm

Nef

Tomorrow will probably be a wheel chair day, though (for over-doing today)

11:32 pm

carleekat

hi all again

11:32 pm

stidmama

I am glad he felt well enough to overdo it! *stern mama look at Nef's DH* I hope he'll be a little less "tough" in the future though.

11:32 pm

stidmama

hey carlee -- can't sleep?

11:32 pm

Nef

hi carlee

11:33 pm

carleekat

how'd u guess stiddy

11:33 pm

stidmama

I called in sick... so decided to stay up until flip in the hope of actually sleeping the full night.

11:33 pm

carleekat

1 1/2 L of hard cider...a hot bath....

11:33 pm

carleekat

and warm soup with crackers

11:33 pm

stidmama

you can have some of my "pirate tea" (rum and orange juice)... I was coughing again, so tom made me some

11:33 pm

stidmama

I sip it all night long.

11:33 pm

stidmama

is that one AND a half? or just a HALF?

11:34 pm

jillibus

Helloo all

11:34 pm

stidmama

*concerned mama look* that hard cider can be brutal...

11:34 pm

carleekat

ooooh... nice

11:34 pm

Nef

I hope you both can sleep tonight.

11:34 pm

Nef

hi jilli

11:34 pm

stidmama

hey jilleroo!!! *bounce bounce bounce* I am sick! that's why I am still awake!!! I hope you're not sick. I hope you're feeling WONDERFUL. (hugs and choclits and nice vodka)

11:35 pm

carleekat

the last upper respiratory flu i had i took orange juice and mango juice..and mixed together and warmed up....was just....liquid vit c and felt soooo good

11:35 pm

stidmama

I'll sleep okay once the fever is knocked back and the coughing stops again.

11:35 pm

carleekat

hi jilli

11:35 pm

carleekat

i'll sleep again when... peace of mind prevails

11:36 pm

Nef

carlee, what's going on? You said the same thing last night......

11:36 pm

stidmama

carlee... I wish there were some way to help. *hums gentle lullaby* I can't even come over and sit with you. *sad mama look*

11:36 pm

jillibus

so sorry to hear you're sick again, stid!

11:37 pm

stidmama

me too, jill -- I am missing a day at student teaching. which is neither fun nor profitable.

11:37 pm

jillibus

I'm using the laptop so expect slowness and typos :(

11:38 pm

carleekat

well..in short.. there have been 2 teen suicides at my kids' school...

11:38 pm

stidmama

why slow and tyops, jill? just different keyboard? are you okay?

11:39 pm

carleekat

and...i unfortunatly came by some info regarding this situation...that a handful in my city know..its an ongoing police investigation...and what has happened is but a tip of the iceberg

11:39 pm

jillibus

also letting the battery run down -- was told it was a good idea -- do you agree?

11:39 pm

Nef

stid; 1 day missing student teaching due to illness is better than going and getting pneumonia AND half of the class ill too...

11:39 pm

jillibus

yes, just not used the the keyboard

11:39 pm

Nef

(((carlee)))

11:39 pm

stidmama

I got it from the kids... and unfortunately thought it was just a cold last thurs-fri so I DID go to school.

11:40 pm

carleekat

i wish i didnt know...

11:40 pm

stidmama

depends on the type of battery, but can be good once in a while. it sort of resets the amount of power it can hold I think.

11:40 pm

carleekat

i'd be able to sleep... now when i do sleep i get nightmares...and i never get nightmares

11:40 pm

stidmama

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.

11:40 pm

stidmama

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.

11:41 pm

jillibus

oh, awful, carlee!
should I let it go off completely or can I reconnect it when it's just low?

11:41 pm

Nef

carlee, do you know of the yellow ribbon org? http://www.yellowribbon.org/

11:41 pm

stidmama

Are you able to get inside your dreams and correct them? sometimes I can, and I replay the beginning and change the end.

11:41 pm

carleekat

yes...it is...

11:41 pm

carleekat

sometimes i can stiddy..but i am so sleep deprieved right now

11:42 pm

carleekat

yes..i know it nef....

11:42 pm

jillibus

Well, I was just told to plug in so I did :)

11:42 pm

stidmama

tom says that you should let it run pretty low, but it doesn't have to be completely dead.

11:42 pm

stidmama

LOL jill! the computer knows what it needs!

11:42 pm

jillibus

Thanks Tom! And how often should I do this?

11:42 pm

Nef

jilli, I don't think it matters with the new batteries these days. It isn't so necessary like in the past

11:43 pm

carleekat

the kids at the school are soooo... emotional on so many levels...the teachers are falling apart and crying whilst teaching...

11:43 pm

jillibus

And thanks, Nef -- this is very new.

11:43 pm

stidmama

okay, then I have something to do for you carlee. *puts on mama think hat* You will sleep better tonight. You will sleep deeply and well. And you will use the wisdom of the dreams to help you work out the puzzles.

11:44 pm

carleekat

have counsellors in the school...these 2 deaths occured withing 2 weeks of eachother..both boys..both athletic and popular and smart...and both killed themselves the same way

11:44 pm

jillibus

Now I'm going to change my icon -- I hoope you all had a good look at this one, which I quite like.

11:44 pm

stidmama

Jill, tom says once a month is okay, once a week is okay. It's up to you.

11:44 pm

cosdem

heyyy all!

11:44 pm

jillibus

Hi cos!

11:44 pm

cosdem

I sure hope the next grid has more than 62 words. I've been going nuts all day without babble :)

11:45 pm

Nef

how big or small is your school, carlee? My dtr. had 3 classmates commit suicides the last 2 years of HS; but there were 500+ in her class

11:45 pm

stidmama

The dreams are working out something important for you, and when your brain figures it out, you will sleep better.

11:45 pm

stidmama

Jill, tom says let it run down to about 15-20% percent every so often.

11:45 pm

stidmama

hey cos

11:46 pm

carleekat

hi cos... the school is about 1100 total

11:47 pm

carleekat

my town is fairly well connected...all the kids from all the schools all know eachother or are familiar with eachother as houseleague sports are really popular here...( houseleague being city wide )

11:48 pm

Nef

back with our first computer (and first cell phone and first electric screw driver, LOL!) we were to run the batteries fully down in order to extend the battery life since keeping them plugged in all the time shortened their battery lives.

11:48 pm

carleekat

its the shok that both so close together....they havent had time to get over the death of one classmate and a second has died

11:49 pm

stidmama

that's not true nowadays, fortunately, but I still try to run the battery down once in a while.

11:49 pm

carleekat

i do too stiddy..my cell phone i always run it down..mind is more then 3 years old now

11:49 pm

stidmama

It was hard when we were kids and classmates died. Never easy, no matter what the cause.

11:49 pm

carleekat

so that is old style battery

11:49 pm

Nef

Aww, carlee. I wish I had some answers for you. Just listen to your heart and don't keep secrets if they may be part of the problem.

11:50 pm

carleekat

nope..not part of problem nef...i just..cant sleep..too much on my mind..in a few weeks...sleep will return

11:50 pm

stidmama

I am getting so tired, and my cough is going away. maybe i can try to sleep in the bed tonight instead of propped up on the so4

11:51 pm

carleekat

sleep well stiddy.....does this mean u wont make 10 more mins to the flip?

11:51 pm

stidmama

carlee -- chamomile tea?

11:51 pm

jillibus

carlee, I've forgotten where in Canada you are...

11:51 pm

carleekat

u mean camel pile tea?

11:51 pm

Nef

It's not so important to do that (running them totally down) any more. I was told not to keep things plugged in all the time and not to let them run totally out either

11:51 pm

stidmama

I'll try to make it to flip... *yawn*

11:52 pm

carleekat

ontario..southern ont

11:52 pm

stidmama

well, computers generally shut off and won't wake up again at a certain point, they preserve the last power so they don't lose data

11:52 pm

stidmama

carlee is so far south she's like detroit north

11:52 pm

jillibus

ty -- just wondering if I'd heard about your sad kids...

11:53 pm

jillibus

Windsor, I guess?

11:53 pm

stidmama

jill, how are things up on SSI? haven't seen you or flo for long enough to talk in ages.

11:53 pm

carleekat

pretty much yes..i am....but without the "influence" of detroit...

11:53 pm

carleekat

no..u havent...its being kept out of the media...

11:53 pm

stidmama

some things are best not publicized...

11:54 pm

jillibus

All's well here, thanks, stid. Lots of bridge coming up, lol!

11:54 pm

carleekat

north of windsor...1 hour north if travelling us side..2 hours if travelling cdn...cus u have to go AROUND a lake

11:55 pm

jillibus

I had a lovely weekend visit from son Dave a little while ago, and he'll be back in Oct ofter our Thanksgiving for a few days.

11:55 pm

carleekat

crap..i never see the flip..i think before this week..i saw it 2ce...i think i have been here 5 times in last week

11:55 pm

stidmama

carlee, just had an idea. check out this link

11:55 pm

Nef

teens will often have "copy-cat" suicides when this happens. It's really imporetant for the whole community to mobilize and come together to support the teens and also all of the families.

11:55 pm

stidmama

http://www.fazeteen.com/issue03/preven
ting_suicide.html

11:55 pm

carleekat

i want to learn bridge...

11:56 pm

stidmama

that's wonderful, jill! hope the legendary dave is feeling and looking well?

11:56 pm

jillibus

carlee -- stick around -- maybe you'll get distracted and so sllepy you'll be knocked out!

11:56 pm
