icon is very good too

1:42 am

jillibus

yes, flosey, old friend but little in common now -- seems so OLD!!!! But younger than I am -- looks and acts about 95! Out of touch...

1:42 am

flosey

oh dear, disappointing

1:42 am

jillibus

Yes!

1:43 am

jillibus

It was really her hubby and mine who worked sort of together...

1:43 am

flosey

I heard I. was looking for a p

1:45 am

flosey

ah, is her hubby still with her?

1:45 am

jillibus

no -- died several years ago.

1:46 am

jillibus

Her sister is here with her, and a younger female"tour guide" who seems very nice. They all have pots of $$$

1:47 am

flosey

has she been ill? to make her seem so old

1:48 am

jillibus

Staying at Hastings House, and the Empress in Victoria. Need I say more? I had hoped for an invitation to dinner at HH, but...:-( Went ot greet them, not even offered a drink.

1:48 am

flosey

lol, not a word!

1:48 am

flosey

oh, how dull

1:49 am

jillibus

Nice chat, and all. The Tour Guide arrived, vodka in hand, but although there were bottles on the dresser, no offer. Gaaa!

1:50 am

flosey

my goodness!

1:50 am

flosey

perhaps it was 'help yourself' hahaha

1:51 am

jillibus

Oh well. Poor woman is dodderin, had a stroke, needs a walker etc. HH dining is wasted on them -- so old they can't face a three-course meal and ave asked for tiny helpings.

1:52 am

jillibus

No "help yourself" offer either!

1:52 am

flosey

she must have difficulty getting around HH with a walker?

1:52 am

flosey

everything on a slope

1:53 am

jillibus

I wanted to take them to the Seaside for dinner tomorrow, so they could enjoy that view, but checked about handicapped accessibility and there isn't any now -- there used to be, but they remodeled stupidly.

1:54 am

flosey

ah, too bad, that would have been so nice

1:54 am

flosey

such a beautiful view

1:54 am

jillibus

Yes, and gravel doesn't help the wheelchair. I had suggested they stay at Harbour House but they chose otherwise.

1:55 am

flosey

ah well, $$$ can't get you everything - guess HH had more charm, etc

1:56 am

jillibus

And I tried to call them at about 9 pm this evening to tell them Seaside was a no go, but the front desk closed at 6 pm and I couldn't get through to their room!!! This si supposed to be worth the money? Phooey!

1:57 am

flosey

prob. don't open very early either!

gd morning everybody

2:39 am

rubyfoo

has anybody heard anythiing about the "red alert"?

2:40 am

gapeach

No. What red alert, ruby?

2:41 am

rubyfoo

red alert for travel in Europe, especially France and Germany. And my son and wife were supposed to take a train to Marseille today

2:41 am

gapeach

Oh, and a good morning to you too, ruby.

2:42 am

rubyfoo

and gd morning, ga peach!!!

2:42 am

gapeach

Oh, dear! Do they know about it, ruby?

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I feel like my head is going to explode!

2:45 am

gapeach

I do know what you are going through....youngest daughter went to Northern Ireland when they were fighting like mad. This isn't meant to sound trite, but try not to get your blood pressure up....easier said than done, I know. We will be praying for them and you as well.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

thank you, ms. peach! And then there is the combo of two type-A's, husband and son. Just call me Ruby the doormat!

2:48 am

gapeach

Oh, dear heart, I am sorry that this happening to you...it is just a bit much. Can you find some "alone time"?

2:49 am

rubyfoo

that is just what I'm doing right now. When my son sees me playing babble, one eyebrow hits his hairline!

2:51 am

gapeach

Oh, you're getting "that" look.....know it well.

2:51 am

Haz1558

ruby - the warning is just to warn people to watch out for anything suspicious. Otherwise 'keep calm and carry on' should be the motto.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

are all adult children so critical of their mothers?

2:51 am

gapeach

How old are your children, ruby?

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I agree with you, haz. Has there been much"chatter" in the UK about not coming over to France?

2:52 am

gapeach

Yes! Yes! Yes!

2:53 am

rubyfoo

they just raised it to red alert yesterday but it's been orange for months

2:54 am

Haz1558

Well, you either make up your mind to go about your normal business with due care or you sit with a blanket over your head.

2:54 am

gapeach

My daughters are 54 and 44...and I know nothing at all....wonder who brought them up?

3:52 am

sprite

sleepy, lol. Got up with the children as usual, then fell asleep on the couch and slept in! Very luxurious feeling. How are you?

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Good I vacuumed and then shockingly ironed a shirt

3:54 am

sprite

woot, wtg lady!

3:56 am

herinfernallady

THe shirt was wet so It was a rough iron to get the creases out so they don't set. There will be another iron when it is dried. I think the cats have thought I ahve cracked

3:57 am

sprite

*grin*

3:59 am

herinfernallady

So what you doing?

4:00 am

sprite

babbling!

4:00 am

herinfernallady

I was eating.

4:00 am

herinfernallady

Can'tg believe this is the second day no heater and I am going away to a place that is half this temp over night :(

4:01 am

sprite

aw hun that is cold. Take a blanket with you.

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Taking a minus 5 sleeping bag

4:01 am

sprite

very smart. Being cold is miserable.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

It is but I scored a very warm sleeping bag

4:03 am

herinfernallady

apparently I have study to do opps

4:03 am

sprite

lol good luck

Hello everyone.

4:09 am

hi lyn :) xxx

4:09 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx

4:11 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx isn't this weather great

4:12 am

lynxxx

It is beautiful - except for the massive amounts of algae it causes in my pond. Neither I nor the fish like it!!!

4:12 am

herinfernallady

Can';t think of anything to fix that

4:13 am

herinfernallady

I have the door open the bedroom window open and one cranky cat as I vacuumed and banished him from the bedroom. No cat in there whilst window is open he can't be trusted

4:14 am

lynxxx

'fraid it is down to chemicals - the fish aren't eating enough yet and the waterlilies haven't grown enough yet to block out the sunlight

4:14 am

sprite

can't you block the sunlight in another way?

4:16 am

lynxxx

mmmm aside from a huge beach umbrella which I don't have I can't think of anything. If I lie something over the pond, the fish and the plants won't grow/survive. Its a bit of a Catch 22 bot only for a month or so

4:17 am

sprite

was thinking of some bamboo poles and a piece of canvas

4:18 am

sprite

rac e

4:18 am

sprite

so sorry, I hit the space bar in between

4:19 am

lynxxx

I'll see what diff the chemicals make over the next week (another 2 doses), if it is not working I might cover up half the pond as you suggest TY

4:20 am

herinfernallady

My friends pond had a metal cage on it and that worked

4:20 am

rubyfoo

hello again

4:20 am

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ruby

4:21 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby. Ruby - what does you husband do for algae in the pond in Spring?

4:22 am

rubyfoo

he uses a fine net and gets alga out that way and it makes good fertilizer for the flower beds

4:23 am

bichon

Good morning to all Babblers close and far away

4:23 am

sprite

morning bichon

4:23 am

herinfernallady

Hi Bichon

4:23 am

lynxxx

hi Bichon

4:23 am

lynxxx

TY Ruby, I am doing that too

4:24 am

rubyfoo

we had a cat drama this AM. With Ruby right next to the bird feeding station where a field mouse famioy lives, a ver large grey cat came over the fence, sat there twitching, watching a mouse, and pounced, quickly carrying the mouse over the fendce. Ruby didn't bat an eye!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

Very cute

4:24 am

herinfernallady

O poor mouse :(

4:24 am

sprite

serene dog

4:25 am

herinfernallady

Bad Ruby as a guard dog

4:25 am

rubyfoo

also, Ruby escaped once this morning, into the field above us. It is her favorite game and she would always come bac, but we worry that she could get run over

4:25 am

rubyfoo

she only cares about guarding her mom (moi) and the house

4:25 am

bichon

ruby is your dog's name?

4:25 am

rubyfoo

how is everybody?

4:25 am

herinfernallady

My neighbours dog tries to play with our cats and they ignore them

4:26 am

rubyfoo

John and Denise were supposed to leave for the South this AM by train, but are staying here because of the "red alert". It would be bad to be stranded if train service got suspended

4:26 am

herinfernallady

What Red Alert?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

yes, she is M-Pao's Veyrier Ruby Hunter and Max is Mi-Paol's Verier Black Maximus. Dogs are much fancier that their parents (us)

4:27 am

bichon

What is a Red Alert?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

there is a terrorist red alert for France and Germany

4:27 am

lynxxx

I am sure they will be fine Ruby, just need to avoid large congregations of people - no hanging around train stations!

4:27 am

bichon

Yes, I saw that. How long will it go on?

4:28 am

herinfernallady

eh I missed that

4:28 am

rubyfoo

Berlin and Paris seem to be the focus, but any attack could lead to a disruption of train service. Also, they arrested somebody in Naples and they were thinking of going into Italy.

4:28 am

herinfernallady

sod one of my friends got to work on an Aus movie and he didn't get credit for it

4:28 am

rubyfoo

we don't have any idea, but it would certainly keep me out of big cities and off trains

4:29 am

rubyfoo

was he acting in the movie or working in the production of it?

4:29 am

bichon

I'm glad I live in the sticks. We only have home invasions to worry about

4:29 am

rubyfoo

that's how I feel, Bichon, nobody is going to attack Veyrier!

4:30 am

herinfernallady

Music stuff

4:30 am

rubyfoo

did he at least get paid for what he did?

4:30 am

sprite

we live near Amsterdam and Schiphol, so we are in the action radius if the netherlands are attacked.

4:30 am

herinfernallady

He does

4:31 am

bichon

Even though we live far enough from Boston and NYC, left is still enough troubling local crime to worry about.

4:32 am

sprite

they are safe with you, ruby, best they stay until the red alert is over.

4:32 am

dcseain

Would that we could all, and i mean ALL just live and let live in Peace.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

they were going to Marseille today but since at least half its population is from North Africa, it is an unlikely target. And the housekeeper said the south is full of old people and is off-season anyway. They were just afraid of being stranded with no rail r=service

4:33 am

sprite

there are no really safe spots left on earth, I think. Best we can do is create as much balance as we can.

4:33 am

lynxxx

morning DC

4:33 am

rubyfoo

balance and a fence and hedge around the house and garden!

4:33 am

dcseain

indeed sprite

4:33 am

dcseain

howdy, lyn

4:33 am

rubyfoo

husband's attitude is that he can only control his tiny kingdom

4:33 am

sprite

hello dcseain

4:33 am

bichon

and a guard dog like 16 & 1/2 y.o. Biscuit the Bichon

4:33 am

rubyfoo

bonjour, seain!

4:34 am

dcseain

i've been up for 22 hrs, including 13h travel time home from California

4:34 am

rubyfoo

you're a better man than I, gunga din!

4:34 am

dcseain

bonjour, ruby :) Ã§a va?

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Hi Scien

4:34 am

lynxxx

good grief - you drove for 13 hours!?

4:34 am

dcseain

i ought be tireder but sleep aludes me

4:34 am

dcseain

no, flew

4:34 am

sprite

rubyfoo, if we all did that and 'controlled' it in peace, there'd be world peace.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx my besty drove from Queensland to my house from 4am to midnight when he walked in my door

4:35 am

dcseain

9.5 h in air from California to Washington, DC

4:35 am

dcseain

plus time for check-in, security, and a hurried transfer of planes in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

4:35 am

dcseain

hi, herin

4:36 am

bichon

dc, the flight from CA to DC is only 5 hours

4:36 am

dcseain

ruby, i lived in Spain while ETA was active in the mid-80s. One learns to live with it, and accept that such risk is a price of a free society.

4:36 am

Sally-catlover

Morning everyone.

4:36 am

dcseain

ha, bichon! i should be so lucky.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

that's verylong, seain, I thought it was only about 5 hrs, coast-to-coast.

4:36 am

dcseain

oh, yes, right air time, i forgot about the time difference :">

4:36 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

4:36 am

rubyfoo

Hello sally! have they changed the babble format since last night?

4:37 am

dcseain

hi, sally

4:37 am

Sally-catlover

What do you mean ruby?

4:37 am

sprite

hi Sally :)

4:37 am

dcseain

as each airport was in a different time zone, i got confuzzled

4:37 am

rubyfoo

It once took me 23 hours to go from Geneva to Austin and that was "real" time, plane rides plus time for making changes. Torture

4:38 am

rubyfoo

all of a sudden, since yesterday, people's names are in bold and words that I time in the chat get underlines like they're mispelled.

4:38 am

dcseain

how odd, ruby

4:39 am

sprite

that is a setting, rubyfoo. Probably from your browser. Ask john to fix it!

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! Not here ruby. Has your son changed something?

4:39 am

rubyfoo

type, not time* in the chat

4:39 am

rubyfoo

proably, they've been on the computer whenever I'm not!

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

People's names are in bold, now I come to think of it, but they always have been.

4:39 am

sprite

let them put it back before they leave

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds as if they have turned on an automatic spell checker.

4:40 am

sprite

yes they are, but not really notably so

4:40 am

lynxxx

sounds like John may have fixed something Ruby. I think that is how Babble is supposed to work...it does for me anyway

4:40 am

Sally-catlover

"let", sprite? "make"!!

4:40 am

LOL Sally

How is everyone? Beautiful sunny morning here, birds gorging themselves on seed feeder on my window.

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Right I better get stuff done

4:41 am

dcseain

chilly and rainy here, and officially i'm asleep.

4:41 am

sprite

the slightly bold names are ok, the underscores are definitely not

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

Also, allowing myself to get a little excited because we are planning our next visit to Venice!

4:41 am

rubyfoo

and when I'm playing babble, I get a very highly raised eyebrow from John

4:41 am

sprite

sounds like you got the lovely weather we had yesterday, Sally. Enjoy it, we certainly did.

4:42 am

dcseain

how lovely, sally :)

4:42 am

rubyfoo

you are getting sleepy.....seain.....

4:42 am

sprite

bye lady, good luck with studying

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

The underscores might avoid some mistypes!

4:42 am

bichon

yes, I get that all thetime

4:42 am

rubyfoo

it has been beautiful here, too, but the "foehn" came through this AM and now it's cloudy and weirdly warm

4:42 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, how did husband's birthday go?

4:43 am

sprite

Sally that sounds wonderful

4:43 am

rubyfoo

it underlines simple words (like underline). The birthday was good, greatley enhanced by yours and Sprite's greeting to husband.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

he loved his fossils and the fossil book

4:44 am

bichon

ruby, how is your husband. Has he recovered

4:44 am

sprite

did they arrive in time, the fossils?

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

Oh good! Think my birthday greeting might have been a bit late, couldn't remember the date.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

now I have to go mix pre-lunch drinks for everybody (DIL doesn't drink, though), so will see you later.

4:44 am

Sally-catlover

bye ruby.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

Yes, fortunately, everyting was here on time and he was truly delighted

4:44 am

rubyfoo

did everybody see Sprite's collage? It was terrific!

4:45 am

sprite

that is good, all preparations having worked out fine and a good birthday arranged.

4:45 am

dcseain

k, gonna try to sleep now that it's nearly 6 AM

4:45 am

sprite

lol yeah it was fun making it

4:45 am

sprite

bye dcseain

4:45 am

Sally-catlover

No, I didn't.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

I saved it in my e-mail and will send it to you this afternoon, sally. It was brilliant!

4:47 am

dcseain

i bid all yall a great day :) {poof}

4:47 am

Sally-catlover

Oh please do ruby. Send it to the private one you have, not the hushmail, if you can remember.

4:47 am

rubyfoo

*poof, too*

4:48 am

rubyfoo

I think I have the right one but you can yell at me, if I'm wrong!

4:48 am

rubyfoo

60 words, so far, my usual brilliant performance lol

4:48 am

4:49 am

sprite

I just put it on Flickr

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Oh that's brilliant sprite. You left out the fish pond!

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

You are very clever, and it was kind too.

4:50 am

sprite

lol yes, on purpose. Too little room.

4:51 am

sprite

it was fun making it and I think rubyfoo's husband could use a bit of kindness/attention after the terror of the dog.

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

{{hugs}} sprite.

4:54 am

sprite

:) Am uploading two others I made

4:55 am

sprite

always good for a smile

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

looking

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

rofl. Saw Scrabbler's one at the time but had forgotten it, but hadn't seen Haz's.

4:57 am

sprite

Haz's was first, but I like both, grin.

4:58 am

sprite

Scrabs and Haz have this fun thing going, where Scrabs emphasizes her claim on Clooney and Haz just knows there is no competition.

4:59 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, that I know.

5:00 am

sprite

:D

5:01 am

sprite

oh boy, sirens. First monday of the month... sigh.

5:02 am

bichon

sprite, what does that mean

5:03 am

sprite

the bomb sirens are tested every first monday of the month here. It means we get about a full minute of ever higher pitched sirens, then a bit of silence, and then the 'safe' siren that is one single note for a while. Always rattles my cage pretty badly.

5:04 am

Sally-catlover

Oh gosh, yes it would mine too. Why do you have bomb sirens?

5:05 am

sprite

to make sure they still work...
I think it is overdoing it. If ever they ring the sirens for real, I bet first thing I will think is: "Oh, first monday of the month... is it? Gosh I got my dates muddled."

5:05 am

bichon

we used to have those here, but I haven't heard that in years

5:06 am

redturtlehead

morning all, we only have some sort of storm sirens....not sure why because if it is a hurricane we usually get lots of advance warning.

5:06 am

Sally-catlover

lol, yes, sprite. A bit like burglar alarms. A neighbour has just fitted one, and when it goes off, we think, "oh their burglar alarm is going off again". We don't do anything about it!

5:06 am

sprite

I'd be very happy if they would quit testing here as well. Or do it on dec 31, just before the fireworks. Am already rattled then, so no problem ;)

5:07 am

Sally-catlover

How does Terra react to the sirens?

5:07 am

sprite

lol Sally, exactly! Like with car alarms. Same thing.

5:08 am

Sally-catlover

We always say that if we have burglars they will leave a ten pound note on the table as they leave, because we don't have anything of use to a burglar!

5:08 am

sprite

not at all. Terra is probably one of the most relaxed dogs ever. The breeder and we have socialised him to almost everything and he couldn't care less about noise.

5:08 am

sprite

ROFLOL! Good one.

5:10 am

sprite

fireflies! Nice puzzle grid today.

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Congrats sprite. Finding it a bit slow myself, but probably because I'm chatting at the same time.

5:11 am

sprite

was slow for me too, he5 the puzzle part in my comment. Had to really search to complete several tiles.

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, ty for the he5!

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I could only see one word originally from the L, then suddenly I saw them all.

5:12 am

sprite

*grin* I know the feeling!

5:16 am

sprite

my first word was the horse man... I was smiling from the start.

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

That was a lovely find, wasn't it. I loved finding bedstead in (I think) yesterday's.

5:18 am

sprite

oh yes me too!

5:19 am

sprite

good luck with the rest and *hugs*!
See you all soon, have a good day/night/whatever.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Sprite, would you mind giving me just the stats for my last K? (No hints). I have ke 4, 6, 4; ki 4; ko4. What am I missing?

so i have to squeeze that in be for the human race!

7:29 am

carleekat

this years maze was dinosaurs..they had rubbings for the kids to do too

7:29 am

Hi kids. On lunch break here. How is everyone's Monday going?

11:36 am

kje

sleepy, scrab - had to take a zyrtec last night and now I am hung over... damn fall allergies

11:37 am

Scrabbler

Use Patanase or Astelin--work quickly!

11:38 am

Scrabbler

The ca7 that rhymes with AAA, AA, C, 9 volt, etc

11:38 am

kje

I have avoided th nasal preps b/c I don't like the feeling of squirting stuff in... but now I think I must change - I no longer tolerate the SE of antihistamines

11:39 am

kje

the ca7 is funny - I found it and thought, that sounds like somewhere to raise felines... then looked it up and it was. What a funny word

11:41 am

redturtlehead

Afternoon babblers!

11:41 am

Scrabbler

But I always prefer topical/local med over systemic.

11:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Red. How is day shift going?

11:41 am

kje

hi red - still morning here!

11:42 am

redturtlehead

I am enjoying it, not so sure my body knows what up, have been really tired.

11:42 am

kje

which do you like, scrab? I don't have a lot of experience with them

11:42 am

redturtlehead

But I am now on a Medrol dose pack, so I shall commence craziness for 6 days!

11:45 am

Scrabbler

They all work well and within 15 min the nasal congestion decreases. The major drawback = yucky postnasal + throat taste. One way to prevent it is to bend over when spraying so as to shoot less in pharynx.

11:45 am

Scrabbler

For what, red?

11:46 am

kje

there is no ra7 to supply fun for the ca7

11:46 am

redturtlehead

I have "predislocation syndrome" to one of my toes and possibly a Mortons neuroma. I am hopign to feel better soon...

11:46 am

redturtlehead

And yes, kje I tried for the Ra7 too!!!

11:47 am

kje

OK, scrab, will try them. My problem is not so much congestion as it is rhinorrhea, itching, sneezing

11:48 am

redturtlehead

kje, that is not fun, sudafed makes you sleepy?

11:48 am

Scrabbler

Can you run, Red?

11:48 am

kje

no, zyrtec... middle sedating antihistamine, but works faster than claritin, but now makes me too sleepy.... and to think I use to take 2-3/day of zyrtec and work in the hospital with no prob

11:48 am

Scrabbler

rattery

11:49 am

redturtlehead

I am allowed to run.

11:49 am

redturtlehead

no rattery.

11:49 am

Scrabbler

Oops, sorry, but not a word anyway.

11:49 am

redturtlehead

I take a half a zyrtec before bed, it helps...

11:49 am

kje

apparently no one wants to raise rats, scrab

11:49 am

Scrabbler

I was following the ca7 theme, hahaha.

11:49 am

redturtlehead

but it is fairly sedaitng.

11:51 am

kje

age I guess... more sensitive now

11:52 am

redturtlehead

we all tried it Scrabbs!

11:52 am

kje

plus, with that study showing the link between antihistamine use for sleep and dementia, I am hesitant to use it now even for allergies unless I must

11:52 am

kje

(I never se it to sleep... don't believe in sleeping meds)

11:52 am

Scrabbler

What about melatonin? It works for me.

11:52 am

redturtlehead

Oh no! I have on occasion used benadryl, for sleep and also to get uncongested. guess I shall be demented.

11:53 am

Hmmm. I still don't know what that's about. Hope it was a nicer hotel than the one I stayed in overnight last night in Jersey. :/ Go to my page and look at the photo I took out of my hotel room window with my iphone, Seain. Bear in mind that hotel's motto is 'An Exceptional Experience'. Yes. It was that, all right.

1:26 pm

dcseain

www.missioninn.com was hotel -- really quite lovely.

Quite an exceptional view, anyway.

Hello Nancy Boy!

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

car.eeyore

Hi JillyJill!

6:10 pm

car.eeyore

Nancy...just so you know....many Babblers have been "looking" for you and asking after you.

6:10 pm

Jillyjill

Hi NB!! Haven't been on with you for a while. How are you?

6:10 pm

J. C.

I'm named after one. :P A Catholic priest - a Benedictine Monk, actually.

6:10 pm

cosdem

6:10 pm

J. C.

He knows.

6:10 pm

car.eeyore

Hmmm... J.C....I thought you were named after....well never mind!

6:11 pm

J. C.

Erm, cosdem - something that's just happened.

6:11 pm

J. C.

Or isn't that the first one?

6:11 pm

J. C.

Hmmm...

6:11 pm

J. C.

No. Just didn't know what you were implying?

6:13 pm

Jillyjill

eeuooo car.ee lol

6:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh! Well that flew straight over my head :P never thought of that!

6:14 pm

Bugsaw

My father was a psychologist who used to get letters from Jesus Christ II on a regular basis. Needless to say, he had delusions of grandeur but I loved the name.

6:14 pm

car.eeyore

Not implying anything. I am sorry.

6:14 pm

J. C.

You know? Seemed a little strange, saying that - did wonder if that's what you mean, though. ;)

6:14 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Bugs!

6:14 pm

car.eeyore

Yes! Was hitching onto the comment you made that you were named after a Benedictine monk!!!!

6:15 pm

J. C.

No problem...

6:15 pm

car.eeyore

((shutting mouth....focusing on grid))

6:15 pm

J. C.

Ah. Well I was - one my family knew and my mum thought was the nicest man she ever met, besides my father.

6:15 pm

cosdem

speaking of letters.. my dad and I have the same name and i would always get a card from a lady named rhonda... i never knew who she was.. turns out she was my dads mistress lol

6:15 pm

cosdem

my mom was wondering why a lady was sending me naughty cards :P

6:15 pm

car.eeyore

Oh no! Cosdem!!!!

6:15 pm

J. C.

6:16 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh my goodness, Cos!!

6:16 pm

cosdem

6:16 pm

J. C.

J. C.

And your mum never saw them?

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

6:16 pm

cosdem

theyre still married.. 35 years today

6:16 pm

J. C.

Oh. She did?!

6:17 pm

Bugsaw

cosdem that is outrageous!! I never thought it was a good idea for two people in the same house tohave the same name, just for the complication of who opens the mail.

6:17 pm

Nancy Boy

Yeah, Car! I was named after an American outlaw - no happy stories there :P

6:17 pm

J. C.

Yes, quite. And the confusion when someone else calls one of them - and both answer. :P

6:17 pm

cosdem

i agree bugs and i hate my name anyway lol

6:17 pm

car.eeyore

That can be cool too! I like to hear stories of how people were named...I find it fascinating!

6:17 pm

cosdem

brb

6:17 pm

J. C.

Do you have a middle name you prefer?

6:18 pm

J. C.

You could use that...

6:18 pm

Nancy Boy

Well, my 'real' name is just an old family name. Never liked it! Much prefer my English name...

6:20 pm

Bugsaw

You could choose your own name now NB. Watch the old movie A Thousand Clowns to see how much fun it can be

6:20 pm

cosdem

my middle name is weird too

6:20 pm

cosdem

its just one letter

6:21 pm

J. C.

How 'weird'? Your first name isn't weird - if the one in your page is what it is?

6:21 pm

J. C.

A name that is one letter?

6:21 pm

Nancy Boy

well, I was in the process of legally changing to my English name, but that got disrupted. Might restart the process, but the people who call me by my Korean name are few and far between anyway..

6:21 pm

cosdem

its just "C"

6:21 pm

J. C.

You may as well, yes.

6:21 pm

car.eeyore

Does it stand for anything?

6:21 pm

J. C.

How can 'C' be a name?

6:21 pm

cosdem

my grandpa shortened it legally.. it was cordell but he legally change dit to c. so i got the c.

6:22 pm

J. C.

So it isn't an initial anymore?

6:22 pm

car.eeyore

SEe! I think that is a cool story!

6:22 pm

cosdem

right JC. its just C lol i hate it

6:22 pm

J. C.

Hmmm. It's different - Cordell would be better!

6:22 pm

Nancy Boy

I think that's cool, Cosdem!

6:23 pm

J. C.

Nothing weird about your first name, though - it's quite common here.

6:23 pm

cosdem

lol i wish i had a cute name.. but .. oh well.. its like im the only one of my friends who know a howie...

6:23 pm

cosdem

so they always know its me when someone talks about me lol

6:23 pm

Lady Biotch

my BF, (also from Colorado Springs) middle initial is D but it doesn't stand for anything either. His father just thought he should have a middile initial LOL

6:23 pm

J. C.

A cool pop artist in the 80's had your first name.

6:24 pm

cosdem

lol lady.. well i feel better :)

6:24 pm

J. C.

Isn't that funny, Lady?

6:24 pm

cosdem

6:24 pm

cosdem

cause i cant stand him :)

6:24 pm

Nancy Boy

You're the only Howie I've ever met. Mind you, I'm probably the only Youngbae you've ever met ;)

6:24 pm

J. C.

Howard Jones, I'm talking about.

6:25 pm

J. C.

Look him up on YouTube - fabulous music!

6:25 pm

Bugsaw

My brother was never given a middle name and he felt quite gyped so for a while he inserted an S in there to stand for the first number of his Social Insurance Number - 7

6:25 pm

cosdem

ah my legal name is howie

6:25 pm

Lady Biotch

I think those old mountain folks have lived in the high altitude for too many years LIK

6:25 pm

J. C.

6:25 pm

car.eeyore

stidmama

hey all. I am having a no-reason-at-all panic attack. need comfort... *sigh* I taught today, maybe it's delayed response?

7:19 pm

Boobear

it seems like I have been doing this grid all day and not getting anywhere

7:19 pm

featherbee

quite possibly stid!

7:19 pm

stidmama

I just started and not getting anywhere, boo! ((hugs))

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

many hugs coming your way stidmama. Wish it could be a real one

7:19 pm

cosdem

the last te 5/10?

7:19 pm

featherbee

or just built up stress from the student teaching in general that has finally culminated in a panic attack

7:20 pm

stidmama

oh feather! I had this lovely lesson and it completely didn't work!!!! (Not really a surprise...) too much information, too little time, too much me talking and too little time for questions after. *sigh*

7:20 pm

Bugsaw

featherbee has the same idea I did

7:20 pm

stidmama

that could be, feather, the built upness is pretty tremendous.

7:20 pm

stidmama

wish it were real too, bugs!!!

7:20 pm

featherbee

it's ok! this is how you learn what is the right amount of material to do. by error.

7:20 pm

Bugsaw

te + singing the ***n song

7:20 pm

stidmama

(if I pack my bags and don't teach tomorrow I could get real hugs in... ) LOL

7:20 pm

featherbee

go back and salvage next time.

7:21 pm

Bugsaw

start packing. I will meet you in virtual Victoria!

7:21 pm

stidmama

yes. BUT. If I am so "smart" how come all that theory work and the recursive design process (big idea, assessment, lessons, alignment... assessments, lessons...) are so elusive?

7:21 pm

featherbee

i've totally done that, either way over estimated how long something would take and their interest level, or under estimated, or a mix of both

7:21 pm

stidmama

I will, feather -- salvage. that is.

7:22 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks bugs! *making virtual reservations at the Empress for high tea*

7:22 pm

Bugsaw

smart does not equate with experienced stid.

7:22 pm

featherbee

exactly. experience is the best teacher.

7:22 pm

stidmama

you have? so what do you do then? stop everything (like I did) and tell the kids to regroup in another direction?

7:22 pm

featherbee

thus, why you student teach before real teaching.

7:23 pm

stidmama

I am SO glad I am student teaching and not plunging straight into the deepest firey pits...

stidmama

fire-y? see? I can't even spell now!!!!

7:23 pm

featherbee

yep. i've done that lots of times. or i've realized AFTER the lesson even that it bombed, and redesigned the same concept for the next day, to get at it in a different way.

7:23 pm

stidmama

well, that is true bugs -- the lessons I have taught in the past have all been fairly small, and I haven't really had to worry about alignments or assessments.

7:24 pm

stidmama

you want to know the worst of it???

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

bbl -- phone

7:24 pm

stidmama

This was just the overview of the storytelling unit we are starting!

7:24 pm

featherbee

sure

7:24 pm

stidmama

later bugs. thanks for the hugs.

7:25 pm

stidmama

SO. I managed to bungle even the explanations. Although, to support the "experience" theory the 3rd and 4th classes I taught today were better than the first and second.

7:25 pm

featherbee

well, if it was the overview, and it bombed, try doing a "mini-overview", like 5-10 minutes worth, before starting the first real lesson of the unit

7:25 pm

stidmama

BUT. I am told the lesson I have planned for tomorrow looks pretty good.

7:25 pm

featherbee

well there ya go

7:26 pm

stidmama

I have an art project scheduled for Wednesday. And I can take some time Thursday/Friday to pick up loose ends.

7:26 pm

stidmama

I just worry -- this already feels pretty awful... however shall I survive my first actual "real" teaching year?

7:26 pm

stidmama

or am I looking too far ahead again?

7:27 pm

featherbee

you will. it will suck. you'll survive, and get better.

7:27 pm

featherbee

the first year is always very hard. but then there's the second year to look forward to, when you already have the lessons designed, and can focus more on other details!

7:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

lort

7:27 pm

stidmama

so... how to deal with the guilt for ruining things for the kids? Or do they learn something that I am not intending and it's okay?

7:27 pm

stidmama

I don't think so Kaplan...

7:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oops- I just meant to say that classes can be very forgiving.

7:28 pm

featherbee

it's ok

7:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

they are really rooting for you.

7:28 pm

featherbee

so they had one class out of their day that was less than stellar. they'll be ok. you'll salvage it. it'll be ok in the end.

7:29 pm

stidmama

*sniffle* thanks. I am feeling better. Maybe I just needed experienced folks to reassure me that feeling all awful is normal. Crying is helping.

7:29 pm

welki

hi folks

7:29 pm

featherbee

and they probably did pick up something from it anyway. you do realize of course that we're all our own worst critics, and that other people think of us far less than we imagine, right?

7:29 pm

stidmama

that's why I am going for middle school, to be sure... I won't be their only teacher! LOL

7:29 pm

stidmama

hey welki, welcome to Stidmama's personal therapy session...

7:30 pm

featherbee

lol

7:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Group therapy is where it's at.

7:30 pm

welki

stid ... you're a mom. i reckon you've done worse to your own kids and somehow they managed to survive, probably just to spite you :)

7:30 pm

stidmama

:-D thanks. I really do feel much better.

7:30 pm

featherbee

stid, do you ever meditate? 5-10 minutes of sitting quietly and just focusing on your breathing can do wonders for mental balance.

7:31 pm

featherbee

your brain is very overwhelmed right now. let it relax.

7:31 pm

stidmama

oh thanks for THAT happy thought, welki! rofl... *dropped kids on head - check; forgot to pick up kids - check; canceled bday party and forgot to reschedule - check*

7:31 pm

the last tr 5/10?

7:31 pm

nm

7:32 pm

stidmama

feather, you are SO wise. this is something I can DO. I did actually take about 15 minutes when I got home and wandered around our woods and yard w/ the dog.

7:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I hate when I have a meltdown.

7:32 pm

stidmama

and I can take a few minutes again once tom gets home.

7:32 pm

stidmama

go cos go!

7:32 pm

featherbee

excellent! walking in nature is also a good meditation.

7:32 pm

cosdem

7:33 pm

stidmama

one of the very experienced teachers at the school I have been placed at asked me to wait to observe her teaching because the class period I could visit makes her cry... so I know it's not just newbies. But the classes I have are actually pretty easy-going, hardworking kids.

7:34 pm

stidmama

It's my ineptness that frustrates. AND I shall re-read my Dweck and remember it's incremental, not innate.

7:34 pm

featherbee

aww, well that's good then! and yes, different classes can make years easier or harder.

7:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

caun

7:35 pm

stidmama

they are home! *happy mama look*

7:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oops there I go again

7:35 pm

featherbee

in 10 years, will they remember that you bombed a few lessons? or will they just remember that they had a student teacher who (pick whatever fun/exciting thing you did with them and fill in the blank)

7:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I tell you, they are really rooting for you, and one day soon it will "click" and you will have them in your hand

7:36 pm

stidmama

Of course, I hope the latter... *smile* as I remember the wonderful young man who taught me in 1976 (won't tell you which grade) and picked a science unit. Very exciting and fun.

7:36 pm

stidmama

of course, to me he seemed VERY old, but he was probably less than half my age now!

7:37 pm

featherbee

stid, i'm not sure i still have your email. can you send it to me on FB? I'm going to see if i can send you something by email tonight.

7:38 pm

stidmama

okay feather, sure. I think I will go now. Have some assignments to prepare for the grad seminar tomorrow.

7:38 pm

stidmama

thanks again, friends. I really appreciate your help and advice.

my middle daughter had a hermit crab when she was a kid .. we had LOTS of animals ... but timmy was "special." when he died, she buried him under a pussy willow and made a tiny headstone: "Here Lies Timmy. He Was A Good Crab"

8:12 pm

Pinikula

I'm guessing Judge God will be the one who drops the hammer on that one ...

8:12 pm

Pinikula

I have a separate computer for my genealogy...

9:15 pm

9:16 pm

J. C.

A lot of things online aren't compatible with Macs. Certain word games and puzzles, etc.

9:16 pm

dcseain

9:16 pm

J. C.

Ah. I have that on the Mac also, Pini.

9:28 pm

dcseain

9:28 pm

Pinikula

I figured if I could get one of my professors to actually come into the computer age just 3 years ago, that the students would be up on it...but alas that is not the case :(

9:29 pm

featherbee

yeah, well, see, i HAVE to get revenge, with a game title like that! you're just not going according to my plan!

9:29 pm

dcseain

9:34 pm

dcseain

9:35 pm

dcseain

9:36 pm

hi all!

9:36 pm

J. C.

Given how well it works, I feel more like abusing it. :P

9:36 pm

dcseain

i worked at two Unis, years ago. Loved the environment at both

9:37 pm

featherbee

9:37 pm

J. C.

And yes, featherbee, that would be the photo.

9:37 pm

featherbee

9:37 pm

Pinikula

wow...news is on...2 teenage girls were killed in a car accident; head on by a cop that was traveling 126 mph, talking to his gf on his cell phone, and texting on his car's computer, while weaving in and out of traffic...and trying to claim workers' comp as a result!! UGH!!!

9:37 pm

featherbee

lol, yeah, good point.

9:38 pm

dcseain

wow, someone should lose his job

9:38 pm

featherbee

that's just tragic pini

9:38 pm

Pinikula

that's an understatement, dc :(

9:38 pm

J. C.

Oh my god!!! :(

9:39 pm

J. C.

Lose his job? He should go to prison!

9:39 pm

sammysmom

9:39 pm

J. C.

Well yes, quite. I'm sure those would be taken care of in prison though.

9:40 pm

Pinikula

I believe they said Illinois...about 3 years ago, but, if I heard it right, he's filed a worker's comp claim only recently?

9:43 pm

dcseain

story is here, and yes in Illinois: http://tinyurl.com/2wtqje4

There is no way he should be entitled to it!

Hi, Jac

10:19 pm

Jacula

and watch out for tumbleweed.

10:19 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen. How are you doing today? (In life, not the grid.)

10:20 pm

Jellen

I am okay...

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

driftiiiiiiiin with the tumblin tumble weed

10:20 pm

Jacula

Jellen, (((xx)). And in the grid?

10:21 pm

Jellen

55 left...not going quickly!

10:21 pm

Jacula

Oh, ruru - and watch out when entering bars where it goes all quiet after you've slammed the saloon doors open.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Jellen - I can clue, if you need any.

10:22 pm

Jellen

Thanks! I need to stop snacking and focus...

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

hhi all

10:23 pm

Jellen

Hi, jmc...

10:23 pm

dianedecoder

en 6/18 please ?

10:24 pm

Jacula

Jellen - that depends on whether you are snacking on brain food or junk food. LOL

10:24 pm

Shirlockc

add an vowel to the en5 before it

10:25 pm

Jacula

diane - en5 (to go in through a door) + vowel at the end.

10:25 pm

dianedecoder

thanks shirl and Jac :-)

10:25 pm

Jellen

I think kettle corn is junk food...

10:26 pm

Jacula

What the heck is kettle corn? Cringing already.

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

but it is junk food with some nutricional merit

10:26 pm

Jacula

diane - y/w.

10:26 pm

dcseain

hm. potato chips would be nice.

10:26 pm

jmcnrick

*thinking of what the nutritional merit might be*

10:26 pm

Jellen

Sweetened popcorn

10:27 pm

Good Enough

it is sooo yummy!

10:27 pm

Jacula

Oh, popcorn is nice, especially toffee popcorn. Salted popcorn is horrible.

10:27 pm

Jacula

buttered popcorn is okay, but not as nice as toffee popcorn.

10:28 pm

Good Enough

wondering how many people just wandered off to make some popcorn...

10:28 pm

Jacula

I read kettle corn and imagined some kind of corndog nightmare type snack.

10:28 pm

dcseain

popcorn needs salt, IMHO, not so fond of the sweetened aka Kettle Corn. Toffeed or carameled is nice though

10:28 pm

Shirlockc

tr8?

10:29 pm

dcseain

three hundred in italian

10:29 pm

Shirlockc

thx, dcs

10:29 pm

Jacula

Shirlockc - tr8 = tr* US penny + a vowel.

10:29 pm

jmcnrick

that is soo not helpful DC

10:29 pm

dcseain

yvw, shirl

10:29 pm

dcseain

hi, jmc

10:30 pm

m9f9l

mmmmm kettle corn!

10:30 pm

dcseain

you know enough spanish to get to the italian, jmc :)

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

hi dc

10:30 pm

jmcnrick

i have been invisible all day

10:30 pm

Shirlockc

ke6?

10:30 pm

Jacula

jmc - you have? That must have been fun! What mischief did you get up to?

10:31 pm

dcseain

ke + and a mixed-up under-20 person

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

in the chog i mean jac

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

i kept coming in and no one would say hello

10:31 pm

Jacula

ke66 is a poisonous gas. Sounds a bit like a horse transquilliser.

10:31 pm

Shirlockc

thx again dcs

10:31 pm

Jacula

jmc - Oh!:-(

10:31 pm

jmcnrick

i was too busy at work to bitch about it though

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

i wish i had been invisible in a fun way though

10:32 pm

hootowl

hi - I'm italian and don't know what that is!

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

ty hoot! that's what I am talking about!

10:32 pm

dcseain

jac just clued it, too

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

the tr8?

10:33 pm

hootowl

and I def don't know about horse tranquilzers! How obscure can you get!

10:33 pm

dcseain

10:29:
Shirlockc - tr8 = tr* US penny + a vowel.

10:33 pm

Jacula

jc - yes, being invisible might not be fun if you could eavesdrop on what friends and family are really saying about you, but could be fun for getting your own back or just having a bit of a laugh at other peoples' expense.

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

ty jac i didnot see that! i guess i have no room to talk

10:34 pm

m9f9l

just got the midnight joker...

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

i actually inherited a diary that talked about me

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

it was odd

10:34 pm

hootowl

got the tr!

10:35 pm

Good Enough

HI JMC!! *waving madly*

10:35 pm

m9f9l

sure don't want to hurt noooOOooone...

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

hi good! *waves back*

10:35 pm

Jacula

Mind you, an easy way to get other people used to be to stand stock still in the middle of the street and stare upwards and point. In no time at all, lots of other people would have stopped and looked up, too. Not so sure it would work these days with people avoiding eye contact, heads down texting, talking on their 'phones etc.

10:36 pm

Jacula

jmc - what did the diary tell you?

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

i think people will look up and keep moving

10:36 pm

Jacula

jmc - if they do that, they'll trip over!

10:37 pm

jmcnrick

it was not entirely uncomplimentary but was sort squirmmaking

10:37 pm

hootowl

bet someone would be on the phone telling friends about the idiots staring up...ad loudly! What did all these people do before they had cell phones???

10:37 pm

Jacula

jmc - want to share any of it??

10:37 pm

Jacula

hoot - I wonder that, too.

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

oh don't really remeber the details -- long ago -- client and fellow attorney who wrote about how i had screwed up a case but was not really a bad attorney just needed to learn to focus more

10:38 pm

hootowl

And they'll say anything! Don't they realise people can hear them!

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

he was about 50 years older than I

10:39 pm

Jacula

jmc - did he advise you how not to screw up a case in the future?

10:40 pm

Good Enough

i'm sure you focus just fine. Oh look! something shiny!

10:40 pm

jmcnrick

well no because it was his journal

10:40 pm

jmcnrick

lol good

10:40 pm

jmcnrick

SQUIRRELS!

10:40 pm

Jacula

hoot - phone sex on the train/tram/bus/plane, in the hospital, on the street is all too common now.

10:41 pm

Jacula

jmc - I meant, after you'd read his journal, did you remember any instance of him advising you.

10:41 pm

jmcnrick

he did from time to time. he was a great guy. went to jail rather than fight in WWII

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

spent vietnam getting guys out of jail that refused to fight

10:42 pm

Jacula

A Conscientious Objector, white feather man, then?

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

i was sitting with him when he heard his son had committed suicide

10:42 pm

hootowl

yup - I watch them at checkouts talking while they unload. The cashier could ring up one item 3x and they;d never known cause it's more important to talk than to watch.

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

and later when he died

10:42 pm

Jacula

At least he was true to his principles.

10:43 pm

Jacula

jmc - his son, that must have been awful.

10:43 pm

hootowl

you must have cared for him jmc

10:43 pm

jmcnrick

his name was Oliver Stone --ev5/20one thought I had the director as a client! lol

10:43 pm

jmcnrick

i did ca** for him but he was a crazy old coot

10:43 pm

Jacula

LOL, same name but different man, I guess, jmc.

10:44 pm

Jacula

crazy old coots are often the most lovable.

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

VE** different

10:44 pm

hootowl

I agree Jac

10:45 pm

dcseain

the cat has been SO needy today.

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

he was an archetype New Englander who went to Harvard

10:45 pm

Jacula

Well you would agree, hoot, since we are both of that genre. LOL

10:45 pm

dcseain

of course, i've been gone 7 of last ten days, and friday i leave for 4 more.

10:46 pm

jmcnrick

i want to be an archetype

10:46 pm

jmcnrick

that would explain it dc

10:46 pm

Jacula

dcs - Your cat's been needy this time but he'll hate you next time (for a while).

10:46 pm

dcseain

don't we all, jmc :)

10:46 pm

dcseain

upside, me being gone, she's warmed up to Tom. We'll both be away this coming weekend though

10:47 pm

Jacula

Just to explain my take on crazy old coots, my favourite film of all time is 'On Golden Pond'.

10:47 pm

hootowl

you mean old coots Jac?

10:47 pm

Jacula

hoot - no, I mean crazy old coots. You can't get over 50 without going a little crazy.

10:47 pm

Good Enough

oooh haven't seen that in a while

10:48 pm

jmcnrick

henry fonda was a softee compared to this guy

10:48 pm

Jacula

But what's life with no crazieness in it?

10:48 pm

dcseain

hear, hear, jac!

10:49 pm

jmcnrick

BBBOOOOORRRRRIIIIINNNNNG

10:49 pm

Jacula

jmc - the film or henry Fonda?

10:49 pm

hootowl

never saw the movie and well over 50...but living with and loving a guy who is 15 years younger - crazy enough?

10:50 pm

Jacula

The sound of the loons on the ponds just added to Katherine Hepburn's wobbly talking.

10:50 pm

jmcnrick

henry fonda (you ev** hear jane fonda talk about him?)

10:50 pm

jmcnrick

i actually spent part of a summer on the lake they filmed that on

10:51 pm

Jacula

Hoot - you should watch that film. I'm sure you'd like it. Yes, a little crazier than me, since my guy is only 12 years younger than I am.

10:51 pm

Good Enough

halfway. going to bed. night all

10:51 pm

Jacula

jmc - what was that like?

10:51 pm

Jacula

'Night Goodenough.

10:51 pm

hootowl

ooh - that makes me feel better!

10:51 pm

Jellen

G'night, Good Enough

10:51 pm

Uneaixoise

the play was wonderful too -- saw it back in the 80s with Frances Sternhagen in the lead

10:52 pm

hootowl

dc - can't you get a cat sitter for the weekend? that should help

10:52 pm

Jacula

yes, I've heard Jane talk about her father, and the film kinda reflected their relationship in real life, but ended better.

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

it was very beutiful -- somewhat secluded since you had to be either really rich and from an old rich family or be a good friend of someone who met that condition

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

it was my M-I-L and her old Bostonian connections that got us there

10:52 pm

Jacula

jmc - so how did you get to stay there?

10:53 pm

Jacula

Ah!

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

sort of your fantasy cabin on an island rustic in a high end sort of a way -- when the rich want to pretend -- with electricity and several boats to take to you the club and lots of books

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

we ate lobster and shrimp

10:54 pm

hootowl

I have to concentrate on grid - still need 4 words!!!

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

swam off our private dock

10:54 pm

Jacula

hoot - it might do the cat good to go into a ca7/40. Might mak her stop and think she could be nicer to the guys she lives with.

10:54 pm

dcseain

eh, she'll live, Hoot :) my schedule has been erratic her whole life thus far, yet she still comes to me happily

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

go hoot go!

10:55 pm

Jacula

jmc - electricity and lots of books sounds good.

10:55 pm

m9f9l

I'll race you hoot.

10:56 pm

jmcnrick

it was lovely except for my MIL and FIL

10:57 pm

Jacula

jmc - Oh dear! What did they do to spoil it foryou?

10:58 pm

dcseain

"tact" does not exist in the puzzle heee!

10:58 pm

Jacula

No, it doesn't, not this time, dcs.

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

oh my FIL was very controlling and my MIL was -- well think of Katherine Hepburn in -- what was the one with the cougar? something about Baby?

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

and cross her with the wife in Dinner at 8

10:59 pm

Jacula

jmc _ I get your drift.

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

Bringing up Baby

10:59 pm

Bringing up Baby...love that film!

I remember a writer friend of mine who was in his late 70s at the time (he's now 90), bringing a bottle of Jamaican rum back from a cruise he and his wife had been on. Most writers are hardened drinkers, but, when he took the cork out of the bottle and we all sniffed it, we got drunk of the fumes alone. We left him to drink it.
