1:48 am
flosey

1:49 am
J. C.
Apparently. And yes, Jill - wouldn't doubt it. :P
1:49 am

my aunt was born in a tent. My dad's afamily lived in 2 tents for about 2 years on the beach in Tacoma, WA
1:49 am
flosey
yes, I thought so too jilli
1:50 am
J. C.
And the ts5,12 was one of my earlier words, too.
1:50 am
jillibus
wow, m9!
1:50 am
J. C.
I don't even know what it means - just come across it in various word games.
1:50 am
flosey
wow m9, they must have been a bit chilly during the winter
1:50 am
J. C.
Lived in tents, m9?! Wow.
1:50 am
jillibus
ty for that ts, JC -- one of my favourites and I missed it
1:50 am
J. C.
Couldn't even imagine that...
1:51 am
J. C.
You're welcome, Jill...
1:51 am
jillibus
the ts is the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet
1:52 am
flosey

1:52 am
J. C.
Thank you flosey - got the other ts5. ;)
1:52 am
m9f9l
yup. gets damp in Tacoma. my grandfather, dad and uncle would take the row boat to school/work in the morning. Then after school, my dad and uncle would row back.. and when my grandfather got off work, he'd walk across the train tressel home.
1:53 am
J. C.
How would anyone be able to conduct a normal life, living in a tent?
1:53 am
J. C.
How did they bathe, do their wash, etc.?
1:53 am
J. C.
Can't even imagine it...
1:54 am
m9f9l
in buckets.
1:54 am
m9f9l
they had an awning thing between the tents. cooked outside.
1:54 am
J. C.
No thank you. Shudder.
1:55 am
m9f9l
my uncles first word was "boat". He became a well known marine architect
1:55 am
m9f9l
i guess my grandfather didn't believe in paying rent
1:55 am
J. C.
I can't imagine living like that...
1:55 am
J. C.
↠Spoilt.
1:57 am
m9f9l
yeah. he helped my parents build their first house...
1:57 am
flosey
would be a pretty brave woman who would marry him
1:57 am
m9f9l
my mother had 3 boys in like 5 or 6 years... with no running water.
2:00 am
J. C.
Hmmm. There's actually a word off that top row I? You are kidding me? :P
2:00 am
m9f9l
but then.. my mom and her mom were living on a boat when my parents met. not a houseboat.. just a boat.
2:03 am
m9f9l
I 'believe' so J.C.@!

flosey

2:15 am
jillibus
mais oui, ma chere!
2:15 am
sprite
not original, jilli... don't know if you have ever seen the video clip from Cliff Richard and the Young Ones, Living Doll? At some point Cliff calls for an instrumental break... and one of the Young Ones eagerly asks: "Which instrument do you want us to break, Cliff?"
2:15 am
flosey
bridge was a bit tiring tonight, wouldn't you say, Jilli?
2:16 am
jillibus
actually, I got good cards and rather enjoyed it except at the noisy end.
2:16 am
flosey
yes, that was awful!
2:17 am
flosey
anyway, for now, poof
2:17 am
jillibus
no, never saw Living Doll
2:18 am
jillibus
g'night flosey. I just want one more word -- can't find the ha5/24
2:18 am

it was a special performance for some charity. Pretty funny, making a famous song into a parody.
2:18 am
sprite
night again, flosey
2:26 am
sprite
jilli: it starts with meat. Second syllable uses the highest value tile.
2:26 am

3:15 am

duty calls, lady :) But happy to see you, however short.
3:15 am
herinfernallady
What is this you speack off I looked and was confused
3:15 am
crosshair
now,they are all getting tired of listening to old crossy drone on and on sp i need you ladies to once in a while get them to look at my profile:)
3:16 am
Lilecama
hello everyone. how's the grid today?
3:16 am
herinfernallady
I can't do anything till my PC finishes its mental
3:16 am
herinfernallady
Hi Lili
3:16 am
sprite
it is giving a bit of your bandwidth to a scientific project, lady
3:16 am
sprite
hi Lile, it is good! Smooth in places, challenging in others.
3:17 am
herinfernallady
Ok. I have no bandwidth to give I am struggling to get this beast worknig
3:17 am
crosshair
i have it all laid out in my profile herin,you get to help hnt for cancer cures
3:17 am

3:17 am

yes it was!
3:19 am
crosshair
your computer is chewing the the proteins at a nice rate sprite;)))
3:19 am
herinfernallady
Interesting Crossy. No i have what you call idiot internet
3:20 am
sprite
actually, crossy, I am amazed how little bandwidth it takes. I can still download a movie or whatever and it doesn't matter much. And I am in a bad spot for speed, very far from the central whatsitcalled.
3:20 am
crosshair
it is very easy indeed on the computer
3:21 am
crosshair
he has won many awards and kudos for this set up he created
3:21 am
sprite
he has done an amazing job
3:21 am
herinfernallady
I have a user error. As in the User is creating errors
3:21 am
sprite
I mean, splittingup the tasks like this is already brilliant. But making it easy and almost unnoticeable is even better.
3:21 am
crosshair
i have created a few of those in my time also;))
3:22 am
crosshair
indeed sprite
3:22 am
sprite
I am known for my user errors.
3:22 am
crosshair
will not be long and i will be able to pass out a 100,000 WU certificate to all of you:)
3:23 am
crosshair
suitable for framing and gift giving lol
3:23 am
crosshair
after that i think increments of 500,000 will suffice
3:24 am
crosshair
if we can get 100 babblers on board,it will be easy
3:24 am
sprite
now crossy! Don;t set the standard too low now!
3:25 am
crosshair
my goal is 100 babblers,as of now we have 15 computers unning on average,so my goal is a long ways off
3:25 am
crosshair
i hope to see mom finish her first one soon,lol,she got a 6666 right off the hop!
3:26 am
herinfernallady
o nuts
3:26 am
crosshair
what you break herin? lol
3:27 am
sprite
lol yes they are big. I had a small one as first one, but I have seen about 3 of 6666 already.
3:27 am
crosshair
i have never had a big one yet...all 250,s for me
3:28 am
sprite
well I don't care, they can throw at me what they want.
3:29 am
herinfernallady
My pc drives me nuts
3:29 am
sprite
ah, just finished one of 6666, now a 250 going
3:29 am
crosshair
yaa for sprite!!!
3:30 am
zoozzoom
i get nothing more than a 250, mostly they are 100 :-(
3:30 am
sprite
nuts... I got my parents for that. Finally kicked my father out of my life permanently, now my mother starts again with her sneaky shit. Anyone around who wants to practice for hitman?
3:30 am
crosshair
next time the list updates,you should zoom up the list sprite;)
3:31 am
crosshair
no probs zooz,every bit helps
3:31 am
sprite
every job needs to be done, big or small, zooz. Hi :)
3:31 am
zoozzoom
true, it is only a laptop..lol
3:31 am
crosshair
sometimes you have to treat the parents like your young adult children...be tough
3:32 am
herinfernallady
Right I am off. I need to reboot and see if I can get this happy
3:32 am
sprite
bye lady, good luck with the puter
3:32 am
crosshair
then you are doing great zooz!
3:32 am

3:32 am
sprite
crossy, if that isn't the truth.
3:33 am
crosshair
o am doing "tough love " with my dad as well right now sprite
3:34 am
sprite
after more than 10 years my sister and I finally got back together and are enjoying eachother so much. And now of course our mother feels she needs to ruin that again... too bad we are adults now and we won't let her. Why can't some people see happiness in others without wanting to destroy it?
3:35 am
crosshair
ooooh a nice oc word,it a a measurement of a gasoline additive that changes from regular to premium blends
3:35 am
sprite
they are all related, I think, crossy
3:36 am
zoozzoom
TY, Crossy, nice one.
3:36 am
crosshair
they will forever try to treat you like you are both 10 years old lol
3:36 am

3:43 am

it has some tough spots, yes. I am down to 2 and cannot find them for the life of me.
3:45 am
zoozzoom
i have a ve4 is , how many letters is the other `V` please?/
3:45 am
sprite
yayyy got them. Fireflies!
3:46 am
zoozzoom
Thank you.
3:46 am
zoozzoom
WTG, Spritey!!
3:46 am
sprite
thanks! Anything I may clue before I go?
3:47 am
Soodle
Crossy, please bear with the techno-klutz. I have downloaded the folding@home thingy - and I see a little icon in the bottom right had corner of my puter. Its saying CPU F@H (0/250). Do I have to do anything else?
3:47 am
zoozzoom
I should be ok with this one, but thanks .
3:47 am
sprite
heyyy Soodle, welcome aboard
3:47 am
zoozzoom
No thats it soodle, just let it run.
3:47 am
Soodle
Hi everybody. I was lurking, and trying to do the folding@home thing....
3:48 am
crosshair
howdy soodles
3:48 am
sprite
if it changes to 1/250 etc, you did everything right.
3:48 am
Soodle
Hmmm. Still at 0/250......
3:49 am
crosshair
as long as it changes soon,you did it correctly
3:49 am
sprite
(otherwise you may still need to become part of the babble team)
3:49 am
zoozzoom
it takes a while, give it a chance....lol
3:49 am
crosshair
right click the icon and go to configure if you wish to check
3:49 am
zoozzoom
take a look again in 10 mins.
3:50 am
crosshair
you user mane and team number must be listed
3:50 am
crosshair
if not let me know
3:50 am
zoozzoom
make sure you have 173981 entered in the team name.
3:50 am
Soodle
I put in my Babble name,and copied your team number into it.
3:51 am
crosshair
then you are all set...yaa for soodles!!!!!
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Welcome aboard ;-)
3:51 am
Soodle
I honestly don't have a clue what I have done, but if some good comes out of it.....Yippee!
3:51 am
crosshair
at any time you can right click the icon,cohhse status,the team stats to see how we are all making out
3:52 am
crosshair
then you will see that sprite is gaining by leaps and bounds lol
3:53 am
crosshair
and nono is up there also;)
3:53 am
zoozzoom
i computer has managed to churn out 50 WU`s so far..lol
3:53 am
crosshair
yaaa for zooz!
3:53 am
Soodle
And, again, forgive my klutz-ness, but how does one progress?
3:53 am
zoozzoom
my* not i..lol
3:54 am
crosshair
it is self progressing as your computer and ours go through the work units
3:54 am
crosshair
when you see 250/250,you have completed a protein fold
3:55 am
Soodle
I will give it a while to settle in. I'm still at 0/250!
3:55 am
crosshair
the units seem to come in 50,s100,s250,s 500,s 1000,s and 6666,s
3:55 am
zoozzoom
when your computer compleates a WU = work unit, you get points for it, they combine when you do more WU,and you go up the score board.
3:55 am
crosshair
mom for example is grinding her way through a 6666 right now
3:56 am
Soodle
My computer is clearly as lazy as me!
3:56 am
zoozzoom
would love my computer have ago at a 6666 one.
3:56 am
zoozzoom
LOL, Soodle
3:56 am
crosshair
np at all zooz,every little bit helps;))
3:56 am
crosshair
as would i zooz
3:57 am
zoozzoom
true, Crossy, just want to see how my computer would handle one that sized WU.
3:57 am
crosshair
the bigs ones are highly sought after,not just for ranking,but i hear whispered out there that the big ones may turn out to be the "key" proteins
3:58 am
zoozzoom
I thought you had to have a super computer to get those ones, as they need to be in by a deadline.
3:59 am
crosshair
well yes,but it would be nice to be in on an advancement now matter how small our personal contribution
3:59 am
crosshair
make it a bit fun for ourselves
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Be nice to have babblers as no.1 in the main chart.
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Exactly, Crossy.
4:00 am
crosshair
there are teams out there with 10,000 computers in it
4:00 am
crosshair
maximum pc magazine has a very large team
4:01 am
crosshair
i will be happy with 100 babblers in this team if i can get it
4:01 am
zoozzoom
although that is alot, it depends on the size of your computer power i suppose, so you could have less computers in your team, yet get more points if they do the very large WU quickly.
4:01 am
crosshair
some universities have banded together to form student teams also
4:02 am
zoozzoom
I remeber joining them at first, Crossy, you got me into doing this, but changed over to the Babblers one in the end..lol
4:02 am
crosshair
for example for my part i have 2 computers in my pffering with a combined total of 5.2 gig of processing power
4:02 am
crosshair
offering
4:03 am
crosshair
indeed zooz,i was with them also,but though a babble team would be much more fun
4:03 am
Soodle
Hey!!!! It works. I am at 2/250!!!
4:04 am
crosshair
yaa for soodles!!!!
4:04 am
crosshair
now,each of you that i badgered to join must in turn get 2 others to join
4:04 am
zoozzoom
Nice one , Soodle, it might take just over a day or less depending how powerful your computer is.
4:04 am
crosshair
you can send them to my profile for all the info
4:05 am
Soodle
Will do, Cross!
4:05 am
zoozzoom
I have asked lots of people, Crossy. Not one was interested :-(
4:05 am
crosshair
when we get 100,i will stop nagging everyone in the chog lol
4:05 am
crosshair
jnow that is sad news zooz;((
4:06 am
zoozzoom
ok, need to go for a while, BBL
4:06 am

4:06 am

Ha. Thats where being a Mammy is handy. I will bully my 2 daughters to join, and threaten to cut off the broadband if they refuse. Evil chuckle...

Hello, Soodle, drippy day here.
4:15 am
Soodle
Its yucky here too. Still, we never get bored of the weather in Ireland....
4:15 am

Bored? Perish the thought!
4:16 am

4:16 am
Haz1558
Hello, crossy. You're up early!
4:18 am
crosshair
been up since 3 am;( if not for babble,insomnia would be nasty
4:18 am
crosshair
it is now 05:18 am here
4:20 am
Haz1558
Will you nap later or is that you up for the day?
4:20 am
Soodle
I have a fun day of wall-papering the kitchen to look forward to......
4:20 am
Haz1558
I'd come to help if I didn't have a convenient hairdressers appointment to keep at midday.
4:20 am
crosshair
i will grab a mid day nap
4:21 am
crosshair
i will paint,i will do waiscotting,i will stain..i will rebuild a entire kitchen before you will ever get me to wallpaper
4:21 am
Soodle
Why thank you Haz. I know you will be elbow-deep in wallpaper paste, in spirit, as you get yourself pampered and preened.
4:22 am
Haz1558
I'll be mentally pasting along with you, Soodle.
4:22 am
Haz1558
Why don't you like wallpapering, crossy?
4:22 am
crosshair
crossy LOTHES wallpapering
4:23 am
Haz1558
I like it. It's the painting that doesn't make me happy, but getting the walls covered up with lovely colour/texture/pattern satisfies me.
4:23 am
crosshair
the fiddly part of matching the patterns drives me round the bend
4:25 am
crosshair
lol if you want texture from me,i will spackle
4:25 am
Haz1558
I'll admit that the last papering I did (funnily enough in the kitchen) did tax my patience. A small pattern but something like a 24 inch drop so that you thought you had got it and then realised no. But if you keep 3 or 4 rolls on the go, it does help to minimise wastage.
4:26 am
Soodle
I really hate the whole decorating thing. In another life, I would be getting those nice men in white overalls to come and do my bidding....
4:26 am
rubyfoo
gd morning, I have ten minute! :(
4:26 am
crosshair
there is a interesting method invoving the use of blues and whites an a large slightly damp rag that makes it all look just like a blue summer sky
4:27 am
Soodle
Hello Ruby :-)
4:27 am
crosshair
howdy ((ruby)) just ten minutes/:((
4:27 am
Haz1558
Good morning, ruby. You'd better dive in unless you want to tell us about your decorating likes and dislikes.
4:27 am
Haz1558
I get the men in white overalls to do high walls like in the hall. You'll not get me balancing about on planks.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
what h appened to zzoozz? is he all right?
4:29 am
Soodle
In that other life, I would also have a butler, a maid and a gardener.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
I re-did this entire house after we bought it and were still living in Miami. I designed and purchased and selected all materials and colors, but that was the extent of my contribution
4:29 am
rubyfoo
I walked around with swatches in my purse for a year
4:30 am
rubyfoo
same goes for gardening. I designed out of books over a period of 4 yrs, even before we bought the house, and then started from scratch
4:31 am
Soodle
You may have noticed how enthusiastic I am.... still Babbling at 10.30, instead of getting on with it.....
4:32 am
rubyfoo
procrastinators' anonymous for you soodle. I'm the founder!
4:32 am
Haz1558
I had noticed that, Soodle. By rights you should have clocked on at 8 and be having your first cup of tea about now.
4:32 am
crosshair
and i am getting a very early start on doing nothing today lol
4:32 am
Haz1558
Have you got all your equipment out? Paste mixed, plumb line to hand?
4:33 am
Soodle
The tea bit is correct, Haz - I am mentally preparing myself....
4:33 am
Soodle
Oh, I have all the accoutrements. Its the enthusiasm I lack....
4:33 am
crosshair
if i get real excited i may shave today lol
4:34 am
rubyfoo
it's the shaving every time.....
4:34 am
Haz1558
Believe me, I've seen what can happen if you don't use a plumb line. A so called decorater started to do a room in my mother's house before she stopped him and asked for my advice. My advice - get rid before he wastes more paper!
4:34 am
crosshair
being a bristly crossy itches ruby
4:35 am
rubyfoo
I think I'd like a bristly crossy!
4:35 am
crosshair
though i have a beard on the lower parts,but the cheeks to the jawline are bare
4:36 am
rubyfoo
sounds elegant hahah
4:36 am
crosshair
i have what is know as a hockey players beard style
4:36 am

I better go. Have a nice day everybody. Enjoy the shave, Cross!!
4:37 am

there we go,did a burst of 5 more lol
4:42 am

and another 2..i am just on fire here ;)
4:43 am
Haz1558
I'm standing well back in case you spontaneously combust.
4:44 am
crosshair
actually with my next use of the lord name in vain,i fully expect lightning to come through the roof and sizzle me where i sit
4:45 am
Haz1558
So basically, if you get through the day, it'll be a miracle.
4:46 am
crosshair
me just being upright and taking fluids is a miracle...
4:46 am
Haz1558
The fact that you can type as well is an added bonus.
4:47 am
crosshair
all perks as far as i am concerned
4:47 am
MollyL
Morning everyone. Cross, are you sick?
4:48 am
Haz1558
It might be nice to have Brad Pitt's looks but you'd have to be dragging children round airports most of the time. Count yourself lucky that you're just bristly crossy.
4:48 am
crosshair
nope,just blue skying things,i am fine molly for the nonce
4:48 am
Haz1558
Good morning, Molly.
4:48 am

Greetings all.

Hello fuq - we'll not sulk too much about you abandoning us.
4:51 am
FMitch
Hello Haz and Molly and ((crossy)) and wb fuquay.
4:51 am
fuquayvarina
but I've been thinking about you constantly, hon! I've been a little preoccupied, getting separated, buying a house, etc
4:51 am
crosshair
(((FM)))
4:52 am
Haz1558
Oh, well then as long as you have legitimate reasons to be away, we'll okay. How are you doing?
4:52 am
Haz1558
*We'll be okay (as soon as FM appears my typing goes to pot. I blame her)
4:52 am
fuquayvarina
I'm doing great! Filed the papers yesterday and feel like a thousand pound weight is off.
4:53 am
FMitch
Sounds like you have had a lot on your plate fuq, babble is always a haven away from crappiness.
4:53 am
crosshair
you can tell eva is an addict though,she even checked in on the morning of her wedding..though she has been strangly absent from babble during her honeymoon lol
4:53 am
Haz1558
That's good to hear, and I hope you continue to feel good, fuq.
4:53 am
FMitch
I would be worried if she did babble whilst on honeymoon.
4:54 am
Haz1558
crossy, I think EvaN checked in just before they were heading off for honeymoon.
4:54 am
crosshair
crossy as the lone evil male present goes to hide in the grid.....
4:54 am
Haz1558
There's a picture on her profile, or at least there was. She looks very happy.
4:54 am
Haz1558
You're not evil, crossy. Bristly, yes, evil, no.
4:54 am
FMitch
Oh really HAz, must go and have a look.
4:55 am
crosshair
want to rub my whiskers? lol
4:55 am
Haz1558
And I'll speak up for good men everywhere. They do exist.
4:55 am
fuquayvarina
males aren't evil, just expendable
4:56 am
fuquayvarina
not you, crossy
4:56 am
FMitch
awe there is, and she does but I want to see the dress and the groom too!
4:56 am
Haz1558
Honestly, I do think men get criticised a lot in here. Some deserve it, of course, but I think they all tend to get tarred with the same brush and it's not fair.
4:56 am
Haz1558
I know, just a head shot, FM. She's teasing us!
4:57 am
crosshair
i expect it haz i mean the ratio here 98% female to 2% male..but it is all good stuff
4:57 am
Haz1558
But she does look very happy, doesn't she? She said in the log that the day had gone really well and she was content.
4:57 am
FMitch
Fess up crossy - you love that ratio :))
4:57 am
MollyL
Haz, that could be because several people in here are going through nasty break ups right now. Good on you for lending perspective.
4:58 am
crosshair
and most of you ladies are a pleasure to chat with
4:58 am
Haz1558
It's the only reason he comes.
4:59 am
Haz1558
I agree, Molly, but it does seem that in general you can say what you like about men and they have to take it. I don't know what the reaction would be if the men rose up in rebellion against the women!
5:00 am
crosshair
we suffer in silence and take one for the team
5:00 am
Haz1558
Let's try it. Crossy, say something about women. (let's see how brave he is)
5:00 am
crosshair
well....
5:01 am
crosshair
i have been married 17 years as you know....
5:01 am
fuquayvarina
i've seen it in other forums, and it's not pretty. the women tear them to shreds and leave theie little egos bleeding on the screen
5:01 am
crosshair
and the only thing i really know about women is that it has something to do with chocolate lol
5:02 am
Haz1558
It has EVERYTHING to do with chocolate!
5:02 am
fuquayvarina
brb. breakfast calls, in the voice of my cat
5:02 am

you will not drag anything more out of me
5:02 am
crosshair
i have been well trained
5:03 am
crosshair
plus the ladies love a man of mystery;)
5:03 am
Haz1558
I'm not being critical of anybody in particular and I fully realise that there are some ghastly men out there but I just cringe sometimes when all men come in for the same ear-bashing.
5:03 am
Haz1558
crossy, you should sign up for the Diplomatic Corps.
5:04 am
Haz1558
And I can recommend the Henry Kissinger Correspondence Course in Diplomacy.
5:04 am
Haz1558
4 lessons by return of post and you get a certificate and the ability to talk your way out of any situation.
5:04 am
crosshair
i took the dale carnigie(sp) course on how to win friends and influence people;))
5:05 am
FMitch
I agree that not all men should be tarred with the same brush and the same applies to women too.
5:05 am
Haz1558
Yes, it was very popular at one time, wasn't it?
5:05 am
crosshair
i am a firm believer of letting people think you are an idiot than opening your mouth and removing all doubt
5:05 am
Haz1558
Yes, the sisterhood is all very well but some don't deserve to be in the ranks.
5:05 am
FMitch
Did you really crossy or are you jesting?
5:06 am
crosshair

5:08 am
FMitch
lol I did the course and then went back as an associate to help teach it waaaay back in the 80's
5:08 am

5:11 am
Haz1558
But it's good that you're being of help. We'll keep you on.
5:11 am
Eva
it is 6:10 am here and pitch black. This transitional time of year is difficult...getting used to the lack of light, hearing all the geese head south.
5:12 am
FMitch
*pulls forlock* thank you Ma'am
5:12 am
FMitch
It is hard isn't it Eva, our clock go back an hour this weekend :(
5:13 am
Haz1558
That's the bit I hate, the nights getting dark so early.
5:13 am
crosshair
dark as a coal mine here also
5:13 am
crosshair
no daylight till 7:30 or so
5:13 am
Eva
They've moved it up here...not until November. And of course then it will get dark really early. I do love living here, but it's time to get out the light box and up the vitamin D
5:14 am
crosshair
i live outside for my work,so i am ok in that regard
5:14 am
FMitch
sunrise was lovely this morning at about 7.30am
5:14 am
Haz1558
On the other hand, there's something comforting about having seasons and kind of knowing what's going to happen next. Mind you, by the time March comes around I find myself craving light, but being out with the dog does seem to help, I think.
5:14 am
Eva
you've probably had snow already haven't you Crossy? We've just had a sprinkling and today is going to be close to 70.
5:15 am
Haz1558
I'd hate to be stuck in an office, only seeing daylight at the weekends - during the winter season, that is.
5:15 am
crosshair
soon i will have to cater to the skier citiots
5:15 am
crosshair
i could never be a office drone
5:15 am
Haz1558
You love them, don't you, crossy? I can feel the enthusiasm.
5:15 am
Eva
By the time March comes around I feel like biting someone. We keep saying we're going to go somewhere sunny in march, but are usually too listless to escape.
5:15 am
crosshair
though being fry and warm in the winter would be nice....
5:16 am
Haz1558
(Take note, everyone, don't antagonise Eva in March)
5:17 am
Eva
my neighbors have all learned that Haz...of course they need muzzles too by then. There's really very little good to be said of mud season.
5:17 am
crosshair
join me in march eva..you get some citiot in his 100,000 dollar beemer counting out pennies for his gas when you have the nerve not to take his diners club card for gasoline and it is -30 out lol
5:18 am
crosshair
feel like ripping of the car emblam and finding a new place to mount it....
5:18 am
Eva
we have them too, but they all go to Stowe, and the rest of us stay away.
5:18 am
Haz1558
I can understand why you'd want to maintain a beard in those sort of temperatures.
5:19 am
Eva
I really don't mind the cold at all, but wold love to have a lot more sunny days.
5:19 am
crosshair
actually the beard can be a hinderance in extreme cold haz,you get ice build up in it..you may notice that all of our first nation inuit are clean shaven
5:19 am
Eva
crossy maybe we could organize a mass migration in march...to Cost Rica perhaps?
5:20 am
Haz1558
I'll keep shaving, in that case, crossy.
5:20 am
crosshair
cause they get -40 to minus 55 and you do not want ice clinging to your face in those temps
5:20 am
Eva
Have you found anything that can keep glasses from fogging up in the cold? Aside from holding one's breath?
5:20 am
crosshair
lol,ill ask my brother to get the sleeping bags ready
5:21 am
crosshair
yes,to have fog free glass,open the window so the temp is the same inside as outside lol
5:21 am
crosshair
oh glasses,no,i do not need to wear them for anything toher than reading for now
5:22 am
crosshair
that will change i am sure
5:22 am
Eva
sorry, I meant eyeglasses, when one is taking a walk (I know, I know, an insane thing to do in the middle of the winter) but I try. However, stumbling along the road half blind is a problem. I got something from a ski shop called "Cat Piss" which isn't, and you rub on your glasses but it didn't help for long
5:22 am
crosshair
then when that happens i will get the kids running around outside while i man the register lol
5:23 am
crosshair
no,eva i know of nothing,except if you keep a apir outside in your mailbox,just for your walks
5:24 am
Eva
Oh, THAT"S what kids are for!
5:24 am
crosshair
then they will always be the same temp as the outside air,aNd never fog
5:25 am
Eva
the problem is the hot air coming out of one's mouth and nose.which then turns into ice. Someone needs to design glasses with windshield wipers
5:25 am
crosshair
..mm good idea now that i think of it..a pair of "outside' glasses
5:25 am
crosshair
mm,i have yet to have that expericence eva
5:25 am
crosshair
though it seems i may soon need a pair for typing lol
5:26 am
Eva
Which reminds me that I need to get my snow tires put on...usually I wait until that morning that everyone decides to do it and have to stand on line for 3 hours.
5:28 am
Haz1558
Husband had to get winter tyres on for the first time ever last year. We're not used to snow that doesn't disappear after a couple of days.
5:28 am
Eva
and get new winter wipers, and check out the generator and have the antifreeze in our home heating system replenished, and find where I put my yak traks last spring. Costa Rica is looking better and better
5:29 am
Eva
Has here everyone who doesn't have studded tires (which I don't do) gets the same Nokia Hakapalita tires.
5:29 am
crosshair
we are not allowed studded tyres here anymore
5:30 am
crosshair
i get a good quality michilen winter tyre
5:30 am
Haz1558
Last December/January was really unusual in that it froze solidly for weeks and it was quite a problem for him getting around on country roads. The tyres made a big difference.

5:32 am

You just don't want to go in looking your worst. It's silly, I know.
5:33 am

You just don't want them thinking that this woman makes no effort and expects them to do all the work.
5:34 am

i think they should know your morning look warts and all ,maybe then they can do some tweaking to offset it lol

Haz1558
My hair has a mind of its own. There have been times when I've got up, looked in the mirror and decided that it would take a hairdresser ages to get it looking as bad. Hair sticking out at weird angles, you name it. My daughter can go to bed and emerge the next morning with hair absolutely in the same state as when she went to bad. It's not fair!
5:35 am
FMitch
we managed to get 15 mins of emptying summer flowering pots in the garden before the rain came again.

7:02 am
varumba

Haz1558
Hello, hello. How are you?
9:44 am
Atalante
just back from KWT. Been working hard! 9am - 10pm yesterday, 8am - 3pm today!
9:45 am
Haz1558
Good gracious, that's never a part-time job!
9:45 am
Atalante
but that's it for the week :D
9:45 am
Atalante
and I just took a hilariously bad photo of Hobbit. Putting it up oas my pic
9:46 am
Haz1558
That's not quite so bad, but still, it was a loooong first day.
9:46 am
Haz1558
I'm currently writing an abusive letter to an insurance company.
9:48 am
Atalante
oh well done. What did they do to you?
9:48 am
Haz1558
It's the ongoing saga of the portacabin and the crane. The insurance company says we have to prove negligence.
9:50 am
Haz1558
Exactly! We've got a bill of nearly £5000 to pay for repairs and the insurance company are trying to wash their hands of it.
9:50 am
Haz1558
So far we haven't gone public with the story but if they don't start to cooperate soon I'll be making some phone calls to the local press initially.
9:51 am
Atalante
absolutely!!
9:51 am
trentsnana
fireworks!! have a good day all!
9:52 am
Haz1558
Well done, trents!
9:55 am
Atalante
wah. babble won't let me upload the silly pic of hobbit
9:55 am
Haz1558
Hobbit has nobbled it so that she's not pictured in less than flattering pose.
9:57 am
Atalante
fine. I emailed it instead :P
9:58 am
Haz1558
Just got it. She looks manic.
9:58 am
Atalante
doesn't she!!
10:00 am
Atalante
she was eating a dentastick
10:01 am
Atalante
I saw a lorry fpor a dog food I'd never heard of before - Webbox. Would you feed Spangle something called Webbox?
10:01 am
Haz1558
Absolutely not.
10:02 am
Atalante
nor me!
10:04 am
Haz1558
Webbox sounds like nothing. I wonder why they thought it was a good name?
10:04 am
Atalante
I have *no* idea. What a silly silly name. It sounds like a disinfectant
10:05 am
FMitch
Hi you two, can't stop too long just doing a grocery shop online to stock up the store cupboards.
10:05 am
Atalante
check your email :)
10:05 am
Haz1558
Hello, FM. I've e=mailed both of you with the abusive letter to see if it's abusive enough.
10:06 am
FMitch
Oh good - will look forward to reading it.
10:06 am
FMitch
HAve done Ata and replied.
10:08 am
Atalante
I would say at the end that unless you hear from them wthin say 2 weeks that you really do intend to go to the press
10:09 am
Haz1558
Yes, I would agree, and I'm going to copy it to the firm concerned. They won't want the bad publicity either.
10:09 am
FMitch
biab, must register my shop so I don't lose the slot.
10:10 am
Haz1558
The thing is that the firm want the insurance company to pay out, it's the insurance company who are dragging their heels.
10:11 am
Atalante
absolutely. and do you know the name of this guy's boss / boss's boss? I'd try copying it to someone else high in the firm too. It works remarkably well sometimes, because someone who cares about image then sees you're ready to make them look bad
10:12 am
Haz1558
I could find out, I suppose. Copy it to the Managing Director and see if that gets the ball rolling?
10:12 am
FMitch
and the MArketing Manager
10:13 am
FMitch
if they have one?
10:13 am
Haz1558
We're actually on pretty good terms with the crane people. Things only went downhill when they passed it over to their insurance, thinking, I suppose, that if they pay their premiums, they might as well get the value out of them.
10:13 am
Atalante
it's got to be worth a shot. If this guy gets a rocket up his backseide from someone higher up, it'll make him do something more than anything else will!
10:14 am
Haz1558
What frustrates me is that in the whole scheme of things the money isn't a huge amount to a big insurance company, but it's a major loss to us.
10:14 am
Atalante
that's the annoying thing
10:14 am
FMitch
Even more reason to push all the buttons and it is a charity after all!
10:14 am
Haz1558
We literally can't afford to go to court about this, so bringing pressure to bear in every other way is our only option.
10:16 am
Haz1558
I think back to those optimistic days when it seemed that a new portacabin was going to solve all our problems. Little did we know!
10:16 am
FMitch
You will get there in the end dear, don't give up or get too stressed.
10:16 am
FMitch
It is a crappy glitch for now.
10:17 am
Haz1558
It was beginning to get me down, I must admit, when the yard was still in a mess and everything just threw up obstacles, but everyone keeps saying that it's par for the course with insurance people and you just have to keep going.
10:18 am
Haz1558
Anyway, apart from all that, how was your world of work, Ata?
10:19 am
Atalante
Fun! I spent the morning playing on google earth
10:19 am
Haz1558
And there I was thinking you'd be paddling in rockpools.
10:19 am
FMitch
I take it you are really enjoying the job Ata :)
10:20 am
FMitch
She might have been doing it whist paddling HAz, you never know.
10:20 am
mixi6
na6? help please.
10:20 am
Atalante
too cold to paddle :) Paddling on Friday!
10:21 am
FMitch
why - is it suddenly going to be tropical on Friday??
10:21 am
Haz1558
na6 - belief system in cyber***?
10:21 am
Atalante
noooo I just don't get a choice on friday!
10:22 am

He'll stink to high heaven after that.

Bailey's leaves no evidence other than on the waistline.

Dr-G seems to be made of sterner stuff. Any updates on the new site?

12:35 pm
Haz1558

Savoury mushroom loaf? To die for, I'm told.

12:36 pm
sadie52

12:36 pm
Sally-catlover
Puzzling over how you can be a reluctant vegetarian. Is there an invisible force field round every butcher's shop?
12:36 pm
Dr_God
I do eat fish. I'm technically a pescetarian.
12:36 pm
crosshair
now your talking molly..crossy has a bottle of everclear round here somewhere..started the truck with it the other day...
12:37 pm
Haz1558
Hooray! Smoked salmon can be part of the bribe.
12:37 pm
Sally-catlover
So - free-range eggs from Sally's hens scrambled with smoked salmon?
12:37 pm
crosshair
755 alcohol by volume,amazing stuff,do not spill on bars skin or carpets

12:37 pm

12:38 pm
Dr_God
I don't drink much either, I'm afraid. But the eggs and salmon does sound good. ;)
12:38 pm
Haz1558
I'd tell you anything, Sally, for scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
12:38 pm
Sally-catlover
Yes, I did boggle at what seemed to be 755 percent.
12:38 pm
crosshair

12:38 pm
Sally-catlover
Hang on - what are we bribing him to do?
12:38 pm
Haz1558
That's official. Sally gets to cook for Dr-G. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to find out all about the new babble.
12:39 pm
Sally-catlover
Do I get to wear the leather trousers (note to self, go on instant diet).
12:39 pm

sa6/21 - sa, a consonant, last three letters are a mixed up feline. (think Holy in Latin)
12:44 pm

where is my latin anagram book...crud....
12:44 pm
Haz1558
You're welcome, sadie.
12:45 pm

12:46 pm

i misplaced it when i was drinking scotch and looking up the word cwms
12:46 pm
Sally-catlover
hmmm, anagrams of latin: a lint or at nil.
12:47 pm
Haz1558
The only anagram bit is the feline, though.
12:47 pm
Haz1558
La nit - the French baby louse.
12:48 pm

1:11 pm
Sally-catlover
I think Haz just gave a clue, last three letters are an anagram of a feline. Think of a holy place of refuge.
1:12 pm
stevedallas
sounds like a decaffeinated coffee with an extra consonant
1:12 pm
Sally-catlover
It does? Not a coffee I've ever heard of stevedallas.
1:15 pm
stevedallas
sure it does; comes in those little packets
1:15 pm
Sally-catlover
Not in every country in the world, though.
1:18 pm
lucyloo
that one sounds like the 6 24 i have x
1:19 pm
Sally-catlover
You wanted the second one, didn't you lucy?
1:19 pm
Sally-catlover
The second 6 21 that is.
1:21 pm
lucyloo
i think i am going dooooolallyyyyyy, !!!!!!!i have one 621 but iam confused to which one i have as not getting your clues...... because i can be daft at times ,,,,
1:22 pm
Sally-catlover
Right, there are two sa 6/21s. The first one is the past tense of the sa 4/4 before it, and sounds like when you have spilt something on something, minus a consonant.
1:23 pm
lucyloo
got that one x
1:24 pm
Sally-catlover
The second one is s plus an indefinite article plus an anagram of one of the animals in my profile picture!
1:24 pm
Sally-catlover
The one I am apparently a lover of :-))
1:24 pm
Sally-catlover
And the words ends up with a latin ending.
1:25 pm
MollyL
Lucy, is it Mr. Claus with the third letter in the middle that you're trying to get?
1:26 pm
Sally-catlover

2:37 pm
jillibus
it's a big help -- just go down below the grid to Friends of Babble, right-click on Lickety's Babble Clues to open it in a new window. It gives you the first 2 letters of each word, its length, and its points.
2:37 pm
Pinikula

2:49 pm
Trifioso
I love when that happens, Nancy boy! You log on, and suddenly it is a good time!!!
2:49 pm
Pinikula
what jilli said
2:49 pm
jillibus
I really should be getting lunch
2:49 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL Pini. Because it IS a skill.
2:49 pm
Pinikula
that's also a health food brand name down here
2:50 pm
jillibus
Lickety helps, eh vddd?
2:50 pm
sadie52
ill get this grid done one way or the other ty again for the clue
2:50 pm
Pinikula
You're too cute, NB! LOL
2:50 pm
Trifioso
nancy, I don't know if I remembered to tell you -- I showed the drawings your friend did of you to my son, and he was really, really impressed.
2:51 pm
Pinikula
NB...the little celebrity and he didn't even know it! :)
2:52 pm
Trifioso
NB definitely is a celebrity in babbleland! :)
2:52 pm
Nancy Boy
I hope I'm cute enough to own a Canadian. Been reading your profile - I lol'd ;)
And thanks for passing that on, Trif...Frank is an astoundingly good artist
2:53 pm
Trifioso
own a canadian? huh??? LOL
2:54 pm
jillibus
NB, does Frank sell any of his art?
2:54 pm
jillibus
I know a few Canadians I'd like to offer for sale...
2:55 pm
Pinikula
thx NB...that was a fun post...
2:55 pm
Nancy Boy
He doesn't, Jill - I think he prefers to keep it as a personal thing. Some of the drawings he's done of me are about three years old now. And in varying states of undress, so he'd better not sell those ;)
2:55 pm
Pinikula
...unfortunately, faculty/students here are beginning the afternoon barrage...I'd best be going for now. cya l8r g8rs! {{hugs all around}}
2:56 pm
jillibus
Well, he could do other subjects, NB...he's SO good!
2:57 pm
jillibus
Bye pini -- au revoir
2:57 pm
Nancy Boy
later, Pini - nice to see you :)
2:59 pm
Nancy Boy
Aw, thanks on his behalf, Jill! I think he's scared that if he does it for money, he'll stop enjoying it so much. He must draw at the command of his muses, dahhhling ;)
3:00 pm
jillibus
Well, if his muses let him draw various things for his own aMUSEment, and they look wonderful, couldn't he have a little exhibition and see what happens?
3:01 pm
jillibus
wow, monkeys found all 5 su words!
3:01 pm
Trifioso
I have actually heard that about artists, and other types of crafters, Nancy - if they begin to take money for doing something they love, they stop loving it as much.
3:02 pm
Vicuna
Taking commissions may be antithetical to following the muse, but having people pay you for the things you made because you loved it just makes it even sweeter!
3:02 pm
Vicuna
You just have to remember that the love comes first and the money is a bonus, and not the other way around.
3:03 pm
jillibus
well, what I did was commercial art anyway, so I guess my attitude was a bit different. But it was indeed hard to part with paintings I did otherwise.
3:04 pm
Vicuna
And it's wonderfully freeing to feel that you can spend what you need to on decent materials without "wasting" your money, if the art can pay for itself.
3:04 pm
Nancy Boy
oh Jill, I never knew you were arty! I would love to see some of your work some time, if that'd be alright with you.
3:05 pm
Vicuna
(ANd hello. Sorry to barge in on the conversatioN!)
3:05 pm
Trifioso
hello vicuna!
3:06 pm
Vicuna
How are you, Trif?
3:07 pm
Nancy Boy
Well, he works as a massage therapist. I should definitely encourage him to keep doing that, because oh my god, the free massages...the free massages, oh my god.
3:07 pm
jillibus
it would be hard to show you, NB, because some was just advertising (but "different") done in the 50s and 60s usually with verses included. Hard to reproduce here! But some day I'll get around to taking pix of the others -- lots were pastel portraits of children so I only have a few of those. And landscapes.
3:08 pm
jillibus
Hi vicuna -- that' wasn't barging in, it was adding to!
3:08 pm
Vicuna
It's nice to have friends with useful skills, eh, NB? =)
3:08 pm
Nancy Boy
Sounds lovely, Jill - I'd be very interested to see those, if you do get round to it :)
3:09 pm
Trifioso
I am feeling a bit guilty about not being out in the garden -- mid day babbling its sooooo indulgent! I think I shall away for a bit, and see you all later, I hope!
3:09 pm
jillibus
and now I must go and get that lunch -- lots to do elsewhere after that, including getting a flu shot.
3:10 pm
Kazzer99
see you later jilli - i had my flu jab about a fortnight ago
3:10 pm
Vicuna
Oh, I was feeling the same, Trif - so nice here today! But I've got two boys inside that need an eye on them.
3:10 pm
Vicuna
Goodbye, jillibus.
3:10 pm
Nancy Boy
nice to see you, Jill - hope the flu jab doesn't make you feel too bad! x
3:10 pm
Vicuna
And goodbye, Trif.
3:10 pm
jillibus

3:15 pm
Soodle
I remember you telling me about them before, Jilli. I googled the book.... still haven't got around to reading it yet...
3:15 pm
jillibus

3:15 pm
Soodle
But, sure, your blessed to have Irish neighbours (!!)

3:23 pm
Vicuna

3:25 pm
Soodle
Vic - I will blame it on the dog to the day I die!!!!!
3:25 pm
Vicuna
Well, this is me off, now. Farewell, everyone... and show that puppy who's boss, Soodle!
3:26 pm
Soodle
On the positive side - he is so loving I can turn a blind eye to a lot of his misdemeanors. Bye Vic!

Soodle
How is life with you, Lyn?

6:29 pm
Mom
Molly, it has been a good day.
6:29 pm
cosdem
gappy birthday mom!
6:29 pm

If they did a re-make of "It" without Tim Curry it would be a crime against nature.
6:29 pm
cosdem

6:32 pm

Cos, as for you, don't go asking for a grid clue and then blow me out of my Stephen King mind game by mentioning a re-make of "It". I'm still breathing into a brown paper bag.
6:33 pm
cosdem
lol.. did u see what i said after that?
6:33 pm
MollyL
Yes, I put the bag down now. All could be well. And perhaps they can cast a better version of Bev.

6:34 pm
jmbdobie2

6:35 pm
angelinaxox
Hi, can't believe they are remaking "It". Thanks for posting cosdem. It came out when my nephew was really little and my sister watched it with him and he still has nightmares to this day about it. We always laugh about it.
6:36 pm
cosdem
lol i couldn't sleep for 2 days when i saw it.. i was in 4th grade.. everyone in my class was terrified my teacher had to cancel class and take us outside to play to calm us down
6:36 pm

hi mom
6:36 pm
angelinaxox
lol that's too funny
6:37 pm
cosdem
but now i love pennywise lol

thank you very much.
6:46 pm
MollyL
I have been a King fan since "Carrie". I love "It" for it's simple message. "Don't be scared of your monsters." He conveyed that so well in that story.
6:46 pm
Mom
have made it halfway, time to call it a night. ((Hugs)) to all of you and thanks for the great clues.
6:47 pm
MollyL
Goodnight birthday girl.
6:47 pm
cosdem
all his books have simple messages.. like the Stand.. "be good, believe in God, or you're f***ed"
6:47 pm
Mom

6:48 pm

Thanks Mom, back atcha.
6:48 pm

good night molly
6:49 pm
MollyL
Cos, if you tell me the are doing a re-make of "The Stand" I may have to melt down for a few days.
6:49 pm
cosdem
oh i havent heard or read anything about that
6:50 pm
jessmom
Have you seen the comic books?
6:50 pm
cosdem
but i have to say the remakes of both the shining and salems lot were a lot, lot better and much more loyal to the books
6:50 pm
cosdem
carrie's remake wasn't good though
6:51 pm
jessmom
There are now comics that are a prequel to The Dark Tower, and they are working on The Stand.
6:51 pm
jessmom
or I should say, The St5/12
6:53 pm
cosdem
clue for the ha5/24?
6:53 pm
J. C.
Wow, cosdem. And some think I wear a lot of slap!
6:53 pm
MollyL
I found the re-make of "The Shining" very interesting. King had copped to being an alcoholic at that point and the re-make dealt more with Jack's alcoholism than it did with the mental illness slant in the Kubrick film.
6:54 pm
cosdem
hm i didnt know that molly.. thanks for the info.
6:54 pm
MollyL
Oh. read his book, "On Writing". He chronicles his addiction problems and the accident that almost killed him.
6:54 pm
cosdem
i did appreciate that in the remake they used a croquet and not an axe.. which was what the jack nicholson film should have used.. and i have to say shelley duvall is a terrible terrible actress.. and the hedges in the remake version was terrifying

The storm is being billed as the Great Lakes Cyclone. Though by definition not a tropical cyclone, forecasters say this cyclone has very low pressure and could go as low as 960 millibars — that's the kind of low reading found in some of the most powerful hurricanes.

blueheron
I'm trying to remember that, I know I read it. What about the short story where a person was stranded on an island and consumed himself?

7:57 pm
Bugsaw
Shawshank Redemption is a good movie crossy
7:58 pm
crosshair

7:58 pm
crosshair

7:58 pm
blueheron
how about the Green Mile?
7:58 pm
Dorens
that is true of most good novels, crossy
7:58 pm
crosshair
was never a full book per se
7:58 pm
Bugsaw
or am I confusing it will the Green Mile?
7:58 pm
cosdem
both are prison movies
7:59 pm
crosshair
i have the green mile in a limited 6 book chapter play version
7:59 pm
blueheron

7:59 pm
cosdem
green mile has a supernatural touch to it while shankshaw didn't
7:59 pm
blueheron
you're right on cos.
8:00 pm
crosshair

8:09 pm
crosshair

8:10 pm
crosshair

8:10 pm
blueheron
After all, it's only our shell..not our soul.
8:10 pm
crosshair
that is so true blueheron
8:10 pm
blueheron
Our soul still lives:)
8:11 pm
crosshair
why bury a 5000 dollar casket,then 3 or 4 grand for the services,then you have to actually buy a burial plot..would of cost 12 grand by the time everything was done
8:11 pm
crosshair
yes blue herin 'the soul in which the flower grows survives"
8:12 pm
blueheron
It'a just crazy!! My ashes will be strewn over the nearest ocean. A place I love and feel free.
8:13 pm
crosshair
here is the full poem blueheron....
8:13 pm
crosshair
Something there is in beauty
which grows in the soul of the beholder
like a flower:
fragile--
for many are the blights
which may waste
the beauty
or the beholder--
and imperishable--
for the beauty may die,
or the beholder may die,
or the world may die,
but the soul in which the flower grows
survives.

yes, bugs -- letting them decide to try, and grow -- or decide to not try and not grow. At some point the teacher's attempts at motivation can only go so far.
8:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:46 pm

9:13 pm
stidmama
well... you know... it goes. *shrug* I think some of them are learning AND having a good time. Some are learning. Some are having a good time. And some are doing neither, much at all!
9:14 pm
lbdawger
well, those who are learning and having fun will of course benefit the most, and those who are not learning will have to learn the hard way.
9:15 pm
stidmama
some kids I really wanted to help are getting upset and resistant. some I was worried about are really coming through. some are very uptight and anxious, and I really don't know how to help them calm down -- it IS a big project. BUT I am not asking for them to do anything they haven't already done really...
9:16 pm
lbdawger
just remind them that they know this stuff, they can do it. lots of positive reinforcement especially those who are anxious.
9:16 pm
stidmama
they don't seem to "get" that I am looking, not for MY standard of perfect, but for them to show that they are growing and stretching.
9:16 pm
stidmama
yep. that's my plan!
9:17 pm
stidmama
positive positive positive.
9:17 pm
lbdawger
for some they may have extraordinary standards, and if it isn't perfect in their eyes, it's wrong. sad, but even at that age the perfection thing is there.
9:18 pm
stidmama
yes, and I have one class-full of those kids, who are anxious if they lose one point on a single assignment. I feel so sorry for them!
9:19 pm
stidmama
that whole perfectionist thing that is so encouraged by our society and the overachieving community they live in.
9:19 pm
lbdawger
oi! poor kids! run a project of mistakes. where they have to make mistakes to get points.
9:19 pm
