antrum washout, put you to sleep while they flush your sinuses with saline, pretty drastic.

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

1:17 am

Fauxmage

I didn't make it up, just heard it somewhere.

1:17 am

grannyrose

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

1:18 am

jillibus

1:21 am

flosey

1:21 am

jillibus

You might indeed feel just fine as I did -- and regretted having a big lunch

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

I am sure it will go quickly and you will be glad it is all done!

1:22 am

flosey

oh yes, Dee, should have had it done couple of years ago

1:22 am

flosey

I put it off until dr. said ok, it's time

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

I can understand that

1:23 am

grannyrose

WTG flosey, mother mac nearly went blind because she procrastinated too long

1:23 am

jillibus

Well, you'll be glad, flosey -- and now *repoof*

1:23 am

flosey

oh, thanks granny

1:24 am

J. C.

All the best with that, flosey.

1:24 am

grannyrose

no, i'm saying, thank-goodness you didn't wait too long.

1:24 am

flosey

thanks JC - I had felt fine with it all until today, started getting a bit edgy

1:25 am

flosey

just anxious to get it over

1:25 am

J. C.

It's done a lot now, flosey - with great success.

1:25 am

grannyrose

hang in there, flosey. it will be the best thing you ever did for yourself

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

my brother had it done a few years ago... in his 50s, couldn't believe how much better he saw after...

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

I know it will turn out perfectly, flosey

1:25 am

J. C.

Yes. That's what I hear...

1:25 am

flosey

have several friends who've been through it - brother had both eyes done same time

1:26 am

flosey

then the other eye next month

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

not sure I would want to do both simultaneously... might be a bit blurry, but probably good to get it all over with

1:26 am

J. C.

Your brother has three eyes?

1:27 am

flosey

he had his wife with him to drive him home

1:28 am

flosey

lol, JC, just realized why you said that, I will have the other eye done next month

1:28 am

flosey

and thanks for making me laugh, needed that

1:28 am

J. C.

Ah, I see. ;)

1:29 am

flosey

aha, and I'll be seeing better!

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

you'll have to type us an "okey dokey" tomorrow night

1:29 am

J. C.

I often think I could do with another pair of eyes - in the back of my head.

1:29 am

flosey

will do Dee

1:29 am

J. C.

Oh is it today you're having it done?

1:29 am

J. C.

(Tomorrow for you?)

1:30 am

flosey

that would be very handy JC - kids often believe moms have eyes in back of their heads

1:30 am

flosey

yes JC, tomorrow morning

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

very handy

1:31 am

J. C.

Ah. Hope all goes perfectly - as I'm sure it will. ;)

1:31 am

1:42 am

joshuavorbis

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

have never seen that before... LOL

1:43 am

joshuavorbis

you apparently weren't a lit major like me

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

architechtural term maybe?

1:43 am

joshuavorbis

often it's shortened to the last 5 letters

1:43 am

joshuavorbis

though it usually ends in f in my experience

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

agree... nope

1:44 am

joshuavorbis

for example flowers were a le9 in much of georgia o'keefe's paintings

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

good clue... here is dictionary.com def:
1. music a recurring short melodic phrase or theme used, esp in Wagnerian music dramas, to suggest a character, thing, etc
2. an often repeated word, phrase, image, or theme in a literary work

1:47 am

dcseain

Good morning, sprite.

morning Haz

3:27 am

sprite

had a bad night and decided to sleep in a little... then my girl came calling me: Mum, your mobile alarm went off... you have therapy this morning!
Lol, and I thought tomorrow. I washed, brushed, dressed, printed a letter and drove to therapy... only one minute la4!

3:28 am

Haz1558

It's amazing what you can do when you have to and ti4 is pressing, isn't it?

3:29 am

sprite

absolutely! I still have this little smile on my face from having it made in ti4 against all odds :)

3:30 am

Haz1558

A triumph at the start of the day. That can't be bad.

3:31 am

sprite

nope, and I am rewarding myself with a nice, big babble grid.

3:33 am

sprite

Haz, finding a tm word right away... does that mean one babbles too often?

3:33 am

Haz1558

I think it's pretty much a clincher for a diagnosis, yes.

3:34 am

sprite

was afraid of that. Ok... out of the closet. I am a habitual babbler.

3:35 am

Haz1558

I had been suspecting as much.

3:36 am

sprite

it is that odd thing with coming out of the closet, isn't it. The only one who thinks it is news is the one doing the coming out.

3:38 am

Haz1558

It's quite interesting when new people come along to babble. They announce that they're finding it addictive as though it should come as a surprise to the rest of us.

3:38 am

sprite

*grin* Sometimes I warn. Sometimes I just act surprised.

3:39 am

joshuavorbis

i've already had the discussion with the S.O. about my babble routine

3:39 am

Haz1558

I know.

3:40 am

sprite

hi josh, and what was the outcome?

3:40 am

Haz1558

If you don't have the compulsion to find words then it's hard to understand those who do.

3:41 am

lynxxx

Hello again

3:41 am

joshuavorbis

hi sprite. i now have specific times when i do and do not pursue fireworks

3:41 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxx.

3:41 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx

3:41 am

dizgrannie

LOL talk about addictive, when g/dtr was here on the w/end she was disappointed to find Babble wasn't on til an hour later because of daylight saving. She a whole of 10 yrs old and loves helping me.

3:41 am

sprite

I do it when I can, and not when I cannot. It is so easy.

3:42 am

sprite

awwww so sweet, dizgrannie

3:42 am

joshuavorbis

it's easy on days when the grid is simply done within the allotted times

3:42 am

lynxxx

hi dizgrannie

3:42 am

Haz1558

Good for your granddaughter, diz.

3:42 am

dizgrannie

hi lynxxx and everyone else

3:43 am

sprite

Haz, the nice thing is, we who have the compulsion to find words, are so very good in explaining why, how, when, what for, to what end, etc. Those who do not, can never keep up when we really start to argue.

3:44 am

dizgrannie

it is good because it has helped her tremendously, she was a bit slow in reading and spelling and doing words games certainly help

3:44 am

lynxxx

I have a certain time when I list so I don't get trapped into wasting a whole day

3:44 am

sprite

I have seen that happen a lot, dizgrannie, both with children and with adults. It is amazing how much it helps.

3:45 am

lynxxx

That's great DizGrannie, making it fun has worked

3:45 am

sprite

well, it is easy to me because flip time is at 7 am here. I can easily fit in some babble session almost every day.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I know, I'd find it strange to be coming to a new grid in the afternoon/evening.

3:47 am

sprite

me too

3:48 am

sprite

most babble grids offer me a tune to sing through the day too. We had joy, we had fun...

3:48 am

lynxxx

It's nice, I can end my day with Babble and finish it in the morning before 9am

3:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, I suppose for the Aussies, you can go to bed knowing that the grid will still be there in the morning. Not so for the US and European contingent, we have to finish before we sleep (if we want to finish).

3:49 am

sprite

usually, the early morning is a busy ti4 here, with the kids going to school etc. Am glad we have one grid each day.

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! I am ! ty sprite.

Kallia

4:09 am

poor kalia!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Dental surgery is bad enough, but traumatic sounds nasty.

4:09 am

Sally-catlover

When I was between marriages <g> my surname was Jones, and I went out with a Smith, so you can guess what we were called.

4:09 am

Kallia

nope, dosed up with strong painkillers

4:10 am

I hope they gave you lots of anaesthesia

4:10 am

Oh poor Kallia.

4:10 am

argggggh Kallia, horror. Wise to take painkillers. Keep them up until this has healed.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, those dentists know how to get you off the premises before you realise what they've done to you. A crafty lot.

4:11 am

Kallia

indeed I will

4:11 am

rubyfoo

otherwise you might have punched the dentist!

4:11 am

sprite

it is part of their education, Haz. GetThemOut 101.

4:11 am

Sally-catlover

I like the line: "you'll feel much better after this procedure". NOT!!

4:11 am

Kallia

so I should have a PB pass...just cos I'm more dopey than usual

4:12 am

rubyfoo

never dopey, but definitely a pb pass

4:12 am

Kallia

well I did bite his finger twice lol

4:12 am

sprite

Kallia, you get a 100 PB passes right now. 21 teeth is something I cannot even think about.

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

We are all agreed on that Kallia. Mind you, you probably need the comfort of the goodies in the pb.

4:12 am

even spelling mistakes are finding me words!

4:21 am

Kallia

I see we are all spotty again

4:22 am

sprite

you mean you can see my pimple?!

4:23 am

Kallia

LOL yep right on the end of your nose :)

4:23 am

sprite

darn!

4:24 am

Deeha

pity about the phantom-iest because you could have had 'most like a large N American mammal'!! I like the word!!

4:25 am

sprite

me too! Hi Deeha :)

4:26 am

Deeha

Hi folks. I have been averting my eyes from the chat because it has given me guilt feelings about how long it is since I HAVE SEEN MY DENTIST!!

4:26 am

lynxxx

hi Deeha

4:26 am

Kallia

hi deeha

4:26 am

sprite

same here. Am scared of the dentist. And I mean scared. As in petrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

4:26 am

Deeha

sorry about the caps didnt notice I had hit the button!!

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

Well Deeha, I think seeing your dentist is a bit like seeing your doctor. They will always find something wrong you didn't know about, so why go!

4:27 am

Kallia

etas

4:27 am

sprite

(free PB pass for those who can name the movie that quote is from)

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

98 to go Kallia

4:27 am

Deeha

I used to work in an office over a dentist and the screams that came from that direction were bloodcurdling!!

4:27 am

Kallia

oops

4:27 am

lynxxx

Do you all have clorine added to your water? We did years ago here, my kids 26 & 30 rarely go to the dentist

4:28 am

Kallia

honestly it didn't hurt at all

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

My dentist insists on having Radio 1 (pop station for the non-UK) in the waiting room. I asked if it was to hide the screams, but they didn't seme to think that funny and said it was to protect patient confidentiality.

4:28 am

Kallia

mine is not neglect, but its an inherited gum condition...

4:28 am

sprite

no we don't have it, people here are against it.

4:28 am

Deeha

Yes we did too. My daughter who is 38 only has one small filling

4:28 am

Sally-catlover

I always turn it off, can't stand the station :-)

4:29 am

sprite

lol Sally, you rock

4:29 am

lynxxx

It makes an amazing difference Sprite. When I think of the pain and troubles I went thjrough

4:30 am

Deeha

Leave well alone is my motto- they do now say dont go every six months- I have extended that by quite a long way!!

4:32 am

Kallia

that a is in the wrong place...could have given a 10?11 if it was moved on diagonally

4:32 am

donnab3012

halfway through!!! Off to make a nice leek and potato soup...back later people.

4:32 am

Kallia

oh send me some ot that donna

4:32 am

Deeha

4:32 am

sprite

...what is leek? I first read leak and was amazed...

4:33 am

sprite

bye Deeha, have a nice day

4:33 am

Kallia

leek is a member of the onion family

4:33 am

Kallia

it grows long

4:33 am

sprite

oh ok! Sounds lovely, could you give us the recipe one day, donna?

4:33 am

Kallia

with green tops, not as strong

4:33 am

Sally-catlover

Leeks are lovely sprite, like a long thick onion which you can slice and cook, or add to casseroles. Can bake with cheese sauce.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

Can you get them there sprite?

4:34 am

Kallia

leek and potato is one of my favourite soups

What DID you eat for dinner, lynxxx?

4:39 am

lol Haz

4:39 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz!

4:40 am

Haz1558

I couldn't resist.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

I am going a litle bit crazy. I finished with the TV problem and now I have to deal with the broken washing machine. What a morning! See you later

4:41 am

sprite

one of those days huh. Stay in bed, rubyfoo. Best you can do on such a day.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby. Keep plenty of towels handy for mopping up and don't let the dogs help.

4:41 am

Sally-catlover

Bye ruby. Watch what you do with those spanners. (Imagining ruby with sleeves rolled up, boiler suit on and lying on the floor complete with tool kit.)

4:41 am

Kallia

bye Ruby

4:42 am

sprite

still, it is amazing what a broken washing machine can do, curing you to just a little bit crazy. I'd go bananas if I were you.

4:42 am

rubyfoo

the dogs could probably do it better than I!

4:42 am

Haz1558

How old is the washing machine?

4:43 am

rubyfoo

hahah sprite. BTW, John is gone, safely ensconces in a hotel in Monaco, looking at the sea!

4:43 am

rubyfoo

Second one in 13 yrs

4:43 am

rubyfoo

ensconced*

4:43 am

Haz1558

The older ones were built to last, newer ones have a shorter lifespan, unfortunately.

4:43 am

rubyfoo

but the door is just jammed shut, probably a very simple fix but I hate to pay a repairman for a 2-minute job!

4:44 am

rubyfoo

that's true

4:44 am

rubyfoo

now I'll try to troubleshoot on line!

4:46 am

sprite

rubyfoo, first try pulling the plug and leaving it unplugged for a while. Then reset. See if you can put the program to zero.

4:46 am

Haz1558

I wonder if French workmen/tradesmen do that sharp intake of breath to signal 'This is tricky and is going to cost money.'?

4:47 am

sprite

mmm I think that is universal, Haz

4:47 am

Haz1558

It's probably the first thing the apprentices learn.

4:48 am

Haz1558

'Lads, purse your lips, sharp intake of breath while shaking your head'

4:49 am

Haz1558

'Rubbing chin or scratching head for extra drama.'

4:49 am

Sally-catlover

Bank loudly on the pipes with your spanner while looking worried. Looks as if you are doing something.

4:50 am

Kallia

LOL conjures a picture Haz

4:50 am

sprite

funny how they may not all be good repair men, but every each one has mastered that part of the training.

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

BANG loudly, I made it sound as if they were flying.

4:50 am

Kallia

off for a bit back later

4:50 am

sprite

bye for now, Kallia

4:50 am

Haz1558

Bye Kallia, hope your gums stay numb (in a good way)

4:52 am

Haz1558

By the sound of it, we all know the tricks of the tradesmen.

4:52 am

sprite

must take the thing I first took the leek for, and I seriously need a coffee. Back soon.

4:53 am

Haz1558

See you shortly, sprite.

5:06 am

5:07 am

sandrafrances

5:07 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandra.

5:09 am

sprite

found a tropical tree. Am amazed at myself for remembering!

5:09 am

Sally-catlover

Well what do you know. Just mistyped an E word starting with a different vowel and it took, and its plural.

5:09 am

sprite

hehehe I know the words you mean!

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Not one I knew sprite, so a happy mistype!

5:10 am

sprite

the real biggies aren't even english today!

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Biggest I have is 8 so far, but I believe you!

5:11 am

sprite

I am being literal.

5:11 am

lshult

hey sprite...everyone.....so what language are they then???

5:12 am

sprite

hi Ishult... German

5:12 am

Haz1558

I think it's the German rendition of the word.

5:12 am

lshult

so far found 2 8's but nothing bigger!!!

5:12 am

Haz1558

In English, normally the f finishes (the 9)

5:13 am

sandrafrances

any clues for the 8's please

5:13 am

Haz1558

'Feelings, nothing more than feelings' for an e8.

5:14 am

Haz1558

Change the vowel at the beginning for another 8.

5:14 am

sprite

and use Sally's trick for a8

5:14 am

lshult

got those 2 also....nothing else

5:14 am

sandrafrances

thanks for that

5:14 am

Haz1558

os8 - benign tumours

5:14 am

sandrafrances

what is sally's trick???

5:15 am

sandrafrances

just got it

5:15 am

Haz1558

ae8 - if it began with f, the word could be applied to a time in Edinburgh (and other places) when there are lots of shows and performances.

5:15 am

Sally-catlover

There's an ae 8/55, alt spelling of an es 7/40, to do with summer.

5:15 am

lshult

ty haz

5:16 am

sprite

ae8: the word for a public celebration, but not starting F but A

5:16 am

sprite

interesting, 3 different clues for the sa4 word.

5:16 am

Haz1558

el7 and el 8 put you in mind of stretchiness.

5:17 am

sprite

good news, I finally found a word that does use the superlative ending

5:17 am

sprite

thanks Haz for the os8x2

5:17 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

5:20 am

sprite

btw, don't forget to drop the A from the ae... I always try that and it often works.

5:20 am

lshult

thanks for all these great clue, just need one more 8. got ae,am, el, em & 2x os8......what am i missing ( as well as the 9 & 10)???

5:21 am

Haz1558

The 9 and 10 begin with le.

5:21 am

sprite

Ishult, for the real biggies think a recurring theme in music.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

Oh! ty sprite.

5:22 am

Haz1558

I've not got the other 8 yet, Ishult.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

(Stupid spelling though)

5:22 am

sprite

yvw :)

5:22 am

sprite

it is the original spelling.

5:23 am

sprite

Le8: the best dressed tree

5:23 am

Haz1558

le8 - looks like a description of a tree in full greenness.

5:24 am

Haz1558

Or, the person most prone to go away.

5:24 am

5:25 am

No, of course we'd love to. We spend a lot of time going to the Bay Area of CA to see children and grandchildren. Not that I regret that, but it does cut into our world explorations

6:32 am

lynxxx

I was thinking you could go down from Queensland right down the East Coast and finish in Tasmania. You are going to watch the Oprah Australia thing - should give you a glimpse of what is 'available'

6:33 am

we had a bit of an adventure yesterday. one of our cats, Duchess, had to go to the vet for a follow up visit afer she was treated for bladder stones last month. So my husband took her in, and they did everything she needed. We have a credit card specifically for vet care, and we paid off the entire balance from the first visit, so we thought we wree fine. But when my husband went to pay for the visit yesterday, we were told there is a minimum balance on the card that has to be met for it to be used to pay a bill. Turns out, the minimum balance is $350, and the maximum limit on the card is $500. And the vet clinic said no, they could not charge for the next visit in six weeks.

8:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

I usually spell that le9 with an f where the v is

8:34 am

kipas

for the le9 it gave me an error message.

8:35 am

MollyL

Angel, that's too bad. It can be expensive to be a pet owner.

8:38 am

Angelsong

yes, Molly....but it's really not much different than going to the hospital or doctor myself. We strongly believe in taking good care of alll three of our cats. They are members of our family, and they trust us to take care of them.

8:39 am

NonoNanette

absolutley Angel! However that card hardly seems worthwhile is you must have min. balance and the max is only 150 more than the min.

8:40 am

NonoNanette

I think i would just get a visa or discover or whatever to use only for that purpose. You can more or less set it up with a limit that suits your needs

8:41 am

Angelsong

the minimum is half the maximum limit, still not really a good deal. I'm going to call the company today. the clinic staff told us if enough of their clients complain, something may change. I'm at least going to go on record.

8:41 am

NonoNanette

is there an interest rate on it Angel?

8:42 am

Angelsong

no interest at all if the balance is paid off within six months

8:42 am

MollyL

Good for you Angel, for taking good care of your pets. There are so many people who don't. Your pets are lucky to be in your family.

8:43 am

Angelsong

the tecnician who worked with Duchess yesterday said one only has to look into her eyes to see tat she knows she is loved and cared for.

the nice thing about ae words is that once you've got them, you've also got an e word - or of course if you're sensible your try all the e words you've got as ae words! But I never think of that.

10:55 am

jmcnrick

its like a big public party but with an A instead of the F

10:55 am

helensgirlkid

It is similar to hibernating, with an adjective ending

10:55 am

jmcnrick

good advice helens

10:55 am

helensgirlkid

Great clue jmc - nobody will get mine at all!

10:55 am

10:58 am

marcar2010

hi all

10:59 am

helensgirlkid

to es7 or ae8 is a less physiologically complete form of hibernation - animals that do this wake more easily and are often awake at intervals through the season. It's a little more likely to occur in drought seasons than cold, if I remember rightly, but does occur in cold as well. And forgive the mucking with the grammar, but writing that for an adjective was beyond me this morning!

8:12 pm

jmcnrick

8:12 pm

Dorens

well, he had a lot of issues (being a black man from e ast orange nj. fighting his demons)

8:13 pm

Dorens

and being the dumb nice, rosy glassed suburban guidance counselor, i really didn't see what i didn't want to see (love being blind and all)

8:13 pm

cosdem

te 6/18?

8:14 pm

Dorens

so we tried to make it work, and i stubbornly and persistently tried to combat something i couldn't deal with (substance abuse)

8:14 pm

lbdawger

add not off to the 4 above it, cos

8:14 pm

Jellen

Stop asking for clues...It's story time!

8:14 pm

Jellen

Just kidding ;-)

8:14 pm

cosdem

lol ty lbd and sorry jell :)

8:15 pm

Dorens

so i finally had to leave him, tho i loved him. and we've been friends over the years, and he has now had 6 years being a very dedicated NA/AA person, sponsoring others, being dedicated to working a program, etc. and we did finally get back together and it's been several months and going quite well.

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

YAY!

8:15 pm

Jellen

Aww....I'm so happy for you, Dorens!

8:15 pm

hi, babblers! i couldn't have picked a better time to come in ... good news is terrific!! WTG Dorens!

8:16 pm

8:16 pm

lbdawger

hi welki

8:16 pm

Jellen

Hi, welki

8:17 pm

jmcnrick

just like johnny cash and june carter!

8:17 pm

cosdem

tm6 is a weird word

8:18 pm

Dorens

well of course, it is a life long battle. and my cross to bear is that my kids don't really like the idea. they used to like him, but they got sick of it, and now don't trust that he could be ok. and y'all know how important my kids are to me.. so right now it is kind of bittersweet, but i'm hoping it will work out eventually with them

8:18 pm

welki

....i hear that train a'comin

8:18 pm

jmcnrick

well you can understand that they don't want you or themselves to get hurt again

8:18 pm

cosdem

i got a lot of flak from being with him due to what we had to go through but i dont regret it since it worked out in the end

8:19 pm

lbdawger

they need to build trust with him. it will take time, but if he's in love with you...

8:19 pm

jmcnrick

give them time for him to regain their trust

8:19 pm

Dorens

i do understand it, j, i really do

8:20 pm

Dorens

it's hard for them to understand. they really don't get the sense of forgiveness.. they were young and they were hurt and they saw me hurting and can't forget that... i just hope eventually they can trust that i'm not a complete moron

8:20 pm

lbdawger

that's great, cos

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

but what a great turn around for what was a really terrible year for you-- lost job, got job, alone and now together!

8:20 pm

welki

i doubt my kids will ever think anything but that i'm a complete moron :)

8:21 pm

Dorens

we'll hvave to talk sometime cos

8:21 pm

jmcnrick

my boy made it QUITE clear today that i am a moron

8:21 pm

lbdawger

lol welki. i think that's just part of parent job description

8:21 pm

welki

you just tell him that he's got at least 50% of your DNA, jm

8:21 pm

Dorens

the funny thing is that he was here at my house the day ken broke up with me .. working in my yard, and i told him, i'm sure you'll be happy .. ken and i are no longer together

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

lol well he thinks he got all the good stuff from his dad and the bad stuff from me

8:22 pm

Minski

hello

8:22 pm

Dorens

so he said, no, why would i be glad to hear that? i jsut want you to be happy, and i thought you were happy with me. well, of course, you know what happened the next day

8:22 pm

Minski

te6/18 & 7/28?

8:22 pm

I think that one of the major functions of children is to constantly remind their parents that they are morons.

8:22 pm

lbdawger

hi minski

8:22 pm

Dorens

8:22 pm

8:36 pm

Hi, stid!

hey stidders... how goes the teach?

8:36 pm

lbdawger

hi again, stid!

8:36 pm

Dorens

stid, now you know you are just the best dam student teacher i've ever seen, don't you?

8:37 pm

stidmama

hey jellen! I was thinking about you today! It was a lovely, sunny day, perfect for early autumn. For some reason, it made me think of you -- happy thoughts.

8:37 pm

Dorens

and middle school kids will try you till the cows come home

8:37 pm

stidmama

rofl... doren, I have a parent who takes issue with the unit that I have planned and started teaching... *sigh*

8:37 pm

Dorens

they spend their whole nights thinking about how to make you cry

8:37 pm

cosdem

fireworks

8:37 pm

stidmama

my cooperating teacher is supporting me whole-heartedly...

8:37 pm

Jellen

Yay for cos!!!!

8:37 pm

whoo hoo cosd

8:37 pm

stidmama

YAY cos!!!

8:38 pm

stidmama

I LOVE the kids, actually! LOL

8:38 pm

lbdawger

whooo hooooo COS

8:38 pm

stidmama

they only act up when I am not prepared, and haven't considered how to stay ahead of their very active needs.

8:38 pm

Jellen

Thanks, stid...today wasn't a bad day at all!

8:38 pm

Dorens

oh parents, jeez parents weren't an issue forty years ago, thank god

8:38 pm

Dorens

they have become so difficult now tho

8:38 pm

stidmama

anyway... having been "one of those parents" a couple times, looking for a piece of perspective.

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

goodness what are you teaching? evolution or something crackbrained like that?

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

*looks at pinched shoe on stiddies foot*

8:39 pm

Dorens

i did teach evolution in east orange twenty years ago.. it went fine until one parent had a probelm.. oh lordy

8:40 pm

stidmama

From the reaction I got (note, this is one parent out of 100 or so students) it could have been. *sigh* BUT I know that I am aligned with state standards so on solid ground there. I can also pull out the chapter in the school's textbook that addresses the exact same sort of literature.

8:40 pm

Dorens

and pbs had just done a program on chimpanzees, and my son had been in the kibale rain forest studying chimps the summer before, and they interviewed the folks he'd worked with, and i showed it to the kdis....so cool

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

first oa5/10?

8:41 pm

lbdawger

think desert, jmc

8:41 pm

stidmama

not a desert "island" is it?

8:41 pm

Dorens

stid what was the unit on? and if you're supervising teacher is backing you up you have no probelmeo

8:41 pm

stidmama

wow. that sounds like a really cool thing to share actually, doren.

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

ty lbd abd stiddie

8:42 pm

stidmama

folklore, doren -- how cultures use stories to teach. In terms of literary daring, this ain't!

8:42 pm

Dorens

oh it really was, stid. a fabulous unit

8:42 pm

Dorens

so what is mama's problem then?

8:42 pm

stidmama

and it has only just started. I have "plans" for the kiddos... BIG month-long project.

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

so you told them the bible was folklore? ;-)

8:43 pm

stidmama

It's not only about reading and writing. I expect the children to engage listening, visual and speaking literacies as well.

8:43 pm

stidmama

NOPE. Never would, jmc...

8:43 pm

Dorens

sounds great stid, really interesting stuff

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

of course not

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

<==keeping smart mouth shut now

8:44 pm

Dorens

nah, you can't do that je

8:44 pm

stidmama

I guess my concern is, I have been in her shoes --- now that I am the teacher, how do I stay professional and stand up for the unit which has such potential while also allaying concerns?

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

*sitting on hands*

8:45 pm

Dorens

from here that sounds simple stid

8:45 pm

lbdawger

tell her what the goals of the unit are. what your expectations of the lessons are and let her ask her questions, stid.

8:45 pm

Dorens

talk to the mom, and explain

8:45 pm

Dorens

yeah, what dawg said

8:45 pm

stidmama

I have the ultimate (and true) cop-outs which are that this unit was approved by my college supervisor and my supervising teacher.... I also can say that some of the more creative aspects are required by the college (multicultural, interdisciplinary pieces)

8:46 pm

stidmama

Thanks LBD.

8:46 pm

Dorens

and what is the mom's problem, exactly?

8:46 pm

stidmama

didn't see you there I think... my screen is biggie-sized this time of day! LOL

8:46 pm

wht

I would think that listening to her to find out what her concerns are couldn't hurt, remembering that her real concerns may not be the ones she mentions.

8:46 pm

stidmama

not completely sure.

8:46 pm

lbdawger

i wouldn't go in defensive, just give your facts.

8:46 pm

stidmama

that's what I am thinking, wht!

8:47 pm

stidmama

Fact-based is what I plan, for sure.

8:47 pm

Dorens

you are on solid ground, truly

8:47 pm

stidmama

oh, Tom is home.

8:47 pm

stidmama

He doesn't know.

8:47 pm

Jellen

va 5/16, the third?

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

you could ask her what her concerns are

8:47 pm

stidmama

thanks doren. I think I am, my cooperating teacher says I am, too.

8:47 pm

Dorens

there are some crazy moms out there... hopefully she isn't one, but if she is you will learn to deal with that reality

8:48 pm

stidmama

and now that you-all agree also, I think I feel better.

8:48 pm

lbdawger

va + my gal ***

8:48 pm

Dorens

rhymes with what a lie is, jellen

8:48 pm

stidmama

I don't think she is -- she is concerned for her child. I completely get that.

8:48 pm

Dorens

yay, babble conquers allQ

8:48 pm

stidmama

LOL doren!

8:48 pm

Dorens

was supposed to be all!

8:49 pm

Dorens

so, i went today to visit my 13 year old (barely 13) who gave birth to a child last thursday. she was home alone while her mom was at work. and dyfs (child protective services) allowed that to happen

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

what the brits have at 5 wht

8:49 pm

lbdawger

drink + clock, wht

8:49 pm

stidmama

anyway, now off to play with the seating charts. My teach has said I may try to put the kids in different order and then she will help me make adjustments. I want to get the room arranged so the kids who have trouble are not all lumped together... first arrangement was random. Some combos I don't really like.

8:50 pm

wht

ty jmc and lbd.

8:50 pm

Dorens

home alone with the infant. and she is my student

8:50 pm

stidmama

oh gee, doren. how is the child? *worried look* that's so very young

8:50 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo jellen!

8:50 pm

stidmama

YAY jellen!

8:50 pm

Dorens

very very very young. and she is an emotional mess

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

oh so how is she doing and when is the hearing on pa?

8:50 pm

stidmama

poor child.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

geez, i hope dfs is made aware of that situation, dorens

8:51 pm

stidmama

even physically -- that plays havoc with a still-developing body.

8:51 pm

Dorens

pa will live and die in jail, if not deported. she is doing well physically , but such mixed feelings.

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

arent there social services to help new moms?

8:51 pm

Dorens

i was on the phone with dyfs and that is how i found out she was home alone with the baby

8:51 pm

jillibus

I am aghast at all this.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

babies having babies...

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

yes i had a daughter of a beneficiary . . .hard to explain relation. . . with same story

8:52 pm

stidmama

well, I will keep her in my thoughts, doren. Hope I can check in with you-all again this week. I think I have some "free time" coming up in the next week.

8:52 pm

Dorens

they are putting services into place.. it takes time, and they will be there next week..... so why on earth is the baby home with her before they have them in place?

8:52 pm

stidmama

((jill)) I have to head out. *blows kisses and gently poofs into the ether*

8:52 pm

lbdawger

hi jilli

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

bye stiddie

8:53 pm

jillibus

bye stid -- you'll cope brilliantly

8:53 pm

Dorens

they should have let her go home if she was ready, but kept the baby in hospital until they had a real plan. this is just insane

8:53 pm

jillibus

but that poor kid...

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

your right dorens

8:54 pm

jillibus

or, I should say, those poor kids.

8:54 pm

lbdawger

i sure hope they get her some help. poor kid indeed

8:54 pm

Dorens

my superintendent called up dyfs and yelled at them

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

good for your super!

8:55 pm

Dorens

the supervisor had the nerve to tell them there were services in place in the home, he said my guidance counselor is sitting right here and she just left the home, the girl is alone. egg on their face!

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

and good for you!

8:56 pm

Dorens

i will go tomorrow to find out if they rushed someone in , as they said they would.

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

you keep them honest dorens!

8:57 pm

Dorens

just imagine if this girl, who is not sure how she feels about the baby, does something crazy. imagine if that baby cried and cried instead of being easy and sleeping (as she seems to do a lot of, thank God)

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

unfortunately i do not have to imagine much dorens

8:58 pm

9:49 pm

lbdawger

hi, dc

9:49 pm

MPittore

wait a minute isn't lunking an olympic sport???

9:49 pm

dcseain

weeiik, i've had 3 interviews on 70 applications, no offers yet

9:49 pm

crosshair

i know many my age like me with management and other white collar qualifications,delivering paper bundles to stores in the morn,doing 4 hours at a conveinience store in the mid day and 4 hours pumping gas to get a full pay .3 jobs in 1 day...it sucks

9:50 pm

dcseain

some friedns and i are working to found a company in order to have jobs

9:50 pm

weiik

dc, what is your background? I applied to a union shop there ..

9:50 pm

9:51 pm

9:51 pm

MPittore

9:51 pm

9:52 pm

dcseain

9:52 pm

dcseain

IADB and WB are both hard to get into, but i'll look at both again :)

9:52 pm

weiik

i helps if you iknow someone ont he inside, but, that isn't always the case

9:52 pm

crosshair

it is the going thing here now,delivering paper bundles are a coveted slot cause you can get it done from 5 am to 8 am which leaves time for a mid day 4 hour shift so you can squeeze a 3rd 4 hour shift in in the evening'

9:53 pm

crosshair

so 11 hour days

9:53 pm

sammysmom

cannot figure out the last os 8

9:53 pm

crosshair

then you can get sort of close to your old pay..sort of...

9:53 pm

weiik

hey cross, 11 hours are betther than 0 hours

9:54 pm

weiik

I can't even get a landscaping job here ...

9:54 pm

crosshair

it drains you after a while..but yes,zero hours suck

9:54 pm

10:02 pm

dcseain

10:02 pm

crosshair

problem with govt jobs here,is they mostly hire from within.by law they have to put the spot in a newspaper(most likely otomwa iowa times) then the spot just goes to a brother,sister or some family member

10:03 pm

dcseain

and contstrution, with metro line, beltway widening, and 95 widening, and ICC being built

10:03 pm

MPittore

10:05 pm

MPittore

10:06 pm

MPittore

I retired at 55 from NIH in 2003 and my husband retired from Truland in 2005 so we are so lucky to have pensions and benefits...we do ok

10:08 pm

MPittore

he's six years older than I but still he was only 62...I wish he would have worked until 65 because our benefits would have REALLY been good but my job was contracted out so I had no choice really.
