en + an island in Pacific made famous by WW II: If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death. ~Charles Sanders Peirce

6:10 am

redturtlehead

Hi Ruby. Did you see that the Hawaiian goose is there? (not a hero)

6:11 am

rubyfoo

yes, I always look for him, honk honk

6:11 am

carleekat

in this area..where i am...cus of the lakes..we are used to a "streamer" that is anywhere from 50 m wide to 2 km wide..and then clear blue skies on other side...

6:12 am

rubyfoo

"lake effect" snow (snew) hahah

6:13 am

carleekat

so... you drive carefully for that distance and then...roads are fine... this little blast we really didnt get much in snow ( maybe a foot) but the blowing was insane!!!!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

the detente ended this morning, but at least we had 4 good days!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Red, news on NC just featured the freeze in Florida and damages to crops.

6:15 am

carleekat

and then... my city is a big border crossing point ....so alot of truckers..not locals... and same for travellers....not local people so they are not aware of the driving conditions ehre

6:16 am

carleekat

over 50 K trucks cross our border between us and can..both ways per day

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Also, Red, NBC featured the crazy gunman at the Florida school board mtg.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Oatmeal anyone? I just made a bowlful for myself.

6:23 am

ChampFit

No thanks scrabs. It's not cold here...but it IS time for more coffee....

6:23 am

redturtlehead

Yes, Florida is not a safe place for children, I think.

6:24 am

redturtlehead

Oooh I would like some oatmeal, especially if I do not have to get up.

6:24 am

carleekat

hmmm..oatmeal... with brown sugar and cream on top ....

6:24 am

redturtlehead

Well, so far I have not heard that the crop was that damaged but last night was very very cold, low 20's. My aloe froze, eeew.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

No cream here but I have brown sugar.

6:25 am

redturtlehead

I have Honey.

6:26 am

carleekat

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Anyone want maple syrup?

6:27 am

carleekat

ok...nbt/nbs in 34..now i can dig in

6:28 am

ChampFit

Must share...last night my hairdresser decided to cut off the rest of my very short hair, so now look like a 48 year old Emma Watson. Getting odd looks and remarks for the kids as they wake and see "bald Mom"...

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I managed to find 48. I must get ready and leave for work. Bye!

6:28 am

ChampFit

Generally favorable, but as we know, people don't like change...

6:58 am

MollyL

Oh good! I'm glad you kids are there for your birthday. What a nice present for you.

6:59 am

EvaNadine

i would LOVE to be home curled up on the couch watching movies...
in front of the fireplace with a cuppa tea or hot chocolate... under a blanket...

mmmm.....

7:00 am

MollyL

That's pretty much my plan for this weekend. I have very little to do to get ready for Christmas, so this weekend is about relaxing.

7:00 am

carleekat

buses are cancelled again..so kids are home... I still have 4 pressies to get... but that aside... today... chillin with the kiddoes

7:00 am

EvaNadine

i ordered about 90% of my gifts off of amazon yesterday, so i have minimal shopping left to do...
course, we have our party saturday evening, so i need to get to cleaning!

7:01 am

EvaNadine

also need to nudge the hubs to have maintenance come out and fix our fireplace before then!

7:01 am

MollyL

I love Amazon. If I can't find it there, I don't buy it.

7:01 am

carleekat

our amazon is not so diverse...:(

7:02 am

MollyL

I am going to smack my fingers if they try and type drape one more time.

7:02 am

EvaNadine

i was bummed that one of the gifts i got for hubs ended up not being in stock. they had to email me about it...so that set me back a step with him, but i already had other shopping to do for him anyway...

7:04 am

EvaNadine

so...
hints for the lower-left corner E or the N beneath the W?

7:04 am

MollyL

N...stair post

7:04 am

Trifioso

good morning friends. the n beneath the w is the kind of married you are, eva

7:05 am

Trifioso

oh, whoops. yeah. what molly said. good morning, anyway

7:05 am

MollyL

Nope, that's the beneath the o.

7:05 am

MollyL

Morning Trif.

7:06 am

carleekat

7:06 am

MollyL

And of course, there is our favorite light gas.

7:06 am

EvaNadine

stair post... uhh.... hrm...

7:06 am

MollyL

Rhymes with a j word that sparkles from your finger.

7:06 am

Trifioso

just in case you ever need to know this, "yay, the puppy didn't wake me up at four am!" is, sadly, not the same as "the puppy needed to wake me up at 4 am"

7:06 am

EvaNadine

ahh, TY :)

7:07 am

carleekat

oh oh....indy...

7:07 am

MollyL

Trif, I thought you were naming that puppy Bowie.

7:08 am

Trifioso

we were molly, but when we met him it just didn't suit him at all. so we went with Indy, after a whole day of arduous name searching

7:09 am

MollyL

Well, every living thing needs a name that suits them.

7:09 am

Trifioso

Indy is much better.

7:09 am

Trifioso

carlee, did we all say happy birthday yet?

7:10 am

carleekat

Hi Beach

Mom

Hi Trif

7:42 am

Mom

Boo, the grid is slow going?

7:42 am

Boobear

yes it is

7:43 am

Mom

yesterday's was a nice grid

7:43 am

Boobear

I haven't finished the last 2 grids. Not easy ones

7:44 am

Mom

I rarely finish them

7:44 am

Riverdance

I didnt finish yesterdays either - just didnt have the time for a big grid

7:44 am

beachboggle

clue for the upper righthand e?

7:44 am

Boobear

me neither..just too much to do with Christmas

7:44 am

Mom

I told my sweetie yesterday would be a large grid because I would be away from home all day

7:44 am

Trifioso

giving up my obsession with finishing was one of the best things I even did. Halfway is fine with me. I do like to get to nbt each day, though, I must say

7:45 am

beachboggle

I rarely finish them either; but I love trying!

7:45 am

Riverdance

ey4/6

7:45 am

Mom

I aim for halfway, NBT and the large words if I can

7:45 am

beachboggle

ty river... nbt here

7:45 am

EvaNadine

trif -- i made the same decision quite a while ago.
at first, it was SO tough, but now, im SO glad i made that call.
now, i just aim for NBT and NBS, and halfway if i can get there.

7:45 am

Mom

thanks River

7:46 am

Boobear

ey 4/6 ey plus a consonant

7:46 am

Riverdance

I am not as crazy with finishing as when I first started playing this game

7:47 am

Trifioso

i gave babble up for lent a couple of years ago, and it was a good decision for me. just me. not forcing that idea down anyone's throat

7:47 am

EvaNadine

if its a tiny grid, i will work hard to finish it, but i pretty much only babble at work, so if its a busy day, then sadly, the grid isnt my priority...

besides, i prefer to come here for the people. :)

7:47 am

Boobear

I like the do 4/9 word

7:47 am

beachboggle

Mom

sorry Boo, I don't have it but can help you look

7:56 am

Riverdance

Boo just change the last consonant from the word before it

7:56 am

EvaNadine

ooh, exciting -- the new pho place by my office is finally open!!
perfect timing -- pho is perfect for this freezing weather!

7:56 am

Riverdance

what is pho?

7:56 am

Boobear

ty

7:56 am

MollyL

I approach these grids like a fine wine. I sip at them during the day, and if I finish, fine. If not, it's fun finding the words I find.

7:57 am

Mom

pho?

7:57 am

Krysten

Hmmmm...beef pho! I love that!

7:57 am

Mom

((Molly)) good morning

7:57 am

Mom

Hi Krysten

7:57 am

EvaNadine

pho is vietnamese noodle/meat soup.

7:57 am

MollyL

Morning Mom!

7:57 am

Riverdance

sounds yummy

7:58 am

MollyL

Eva sends me to Google search often. First it was about her 180's...now pho.

7:58 am

EvaNadine

molly, you werent familiar with 180s?
they fabulous -- you need them. :)

7:59 am

Mom

what are 180s?

7:59 am

EvaNadine

kinda like earmuffs. but better. :)

7:59 am

Mom

ah

7:59 am

EvaNadine

they wrap around the back of your head. much more comfortable.

7:59 am

Mom

could have used those earlier this week

7:59 am

MollyL

Mom, they are those ear muffs that wrap around the head instead of going over it.

8:00 am

EvaNadine

hence the name 180s. 180 degrees around your head. :)

8:00 am

MollyL

I had seen them, just didn't know they were called 180's. I think my kid has a pair, but he and I are hood people.

8:00 am

Mom

lol, those probably wouldn't have fallen off of me when I fell face first on the driveway while shoveling it. The ear muffs went flying :-)

8:00 am

EvaNadine

180s are the originals. but there are other companies now, making the same thing.

8:01 am

MollyL

Ouch Mom. Did you slip? I got some YakTrax this year. I am phobic about slipping on the ice and snow.

8:01 am

Riverdance

YakTrax are the best

8:01 am

Mom

I had my boots on and it was just a small icy patch I didn

8:01 am

Mom

't see

8:01 am

Riverdance

my whole family has those - we need them on our steep driveway when its icy - only way up and down

8:02 am

Mom

never heard of Yak Trax

8:02 am

Mom

will have to look into those

8:02 am

Riverdance

sort of like ice cramp ons but easier and better

8:02 am

Mom

maybe for our older son for when he has to take the puppy out

8:03 am

Riverdance

they sell them at EMS or cabellas

8:03 am

Mom

you must need all wheel drive then River

8:03 am

EvaNadine

see now, i might hafta google YakTrax...heh

8:03 am

Riverdance

yes I drive with all wheel and my DH has 4 wheel but sometimes we still cant make it up the driveway. always have the yaktrax in the car

8:04 am

Riverdance

they slip on over your boots - no straps to tie - easy on and off and great traction

8:04 am

Mom

they are shoes or things that go on the bottom of your shoes?

8:04 am

MollyL

I got mine at Eddie Bauer.

8:05 am

Riverdance

I think we got ours at EMS

8:05 am

Riverdance

any sporting good store or outdoors type store would have them

8:05 am

Mom

Dick's Sporting Goods has them

8:06 am

Mom

as does a shoe store near us (according to their web site)

8:06 am

Riverdance

I think the cheapest ones run about $25 and up from there depending on your outdoor activity

8:07 am

Riverdance

well worth the money if you ice up in the winter

8:08 am

Riverdance

time to go have my breakfast - be back later - happy babbling everyone

8:08 am

Mom

that would be a good gift for sweetie, since he walks around downtown from job to job and the sidewalks are always cleared

8:08 am

Mom

bye bye (((River))) take care

8:12 am

EvaNadine

ahh. getting my little party menu together quite nicely. :)

8:13 am

jmcnrick

what are you serving evan?

8:13 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:13 am

Mom

what is on the menu, Eva?

8:13 am

Mom

Hi jmc

8:15 am

EvaNadine

crock pot meatballs, a bread bowl filled with spinach dip, a cold, crescent roll veggie pizza thing, cheese + tomato toothpicks, veggies + dip, chips + dip, cookies...
considering getting a platter of wings, but i think we will have plenty without it.

8:16 am

Mom

sounds good. I vote for the wings (boneless)

8:16 am

Mom

what kind of dip for the chips, Eva

8:16 am

EvaNadine

i would love some wings.
i just dont want too much food...

8:16 am

Mom

too much? never can have too much :)

8:17 am

EvaNadine

you can when you have a small fridge. :)

8:17 am

Mom

true

8:17 am

Mom

although it is cold enough out, you can set it all outside in a cooler

8:18 am

EvaNadine

around here, anything left outside runs the risks of being swiped by neighbors or their pets...

8:18 am

Mom

or dear

8:18 am

Mom

now will fret about where Eva lives

8:19 am

Mom

phew, last row grayed

no, its a safe community. but like all communities, its best not to leave anything you actually want to keep outside.
besides, we dont have much outside, living in a townhouse.

8:22 am

Mom

Mom

8:23 am

jmcnrick

8:35 am

Nancy Boy

I just didn't want to say - but it seems news (and some incorrect news) got leaked anyway. To clear things up, I don't have malaria, but I am ill and in hospital. But I'm well enough to pick up a computer now, so that's alright. Hence my silence. Sorry if anyone was worried..

8:35 am

Riverdance

Wishing you a speedy recovery NB - sorry to hear you are in the hospital

8:36 am

Nancy Boy

thanks, River. I'm sure all will be okay :)

8:36 am

Riverdance

thats good - will think healing thoughts for my babble son...

8:38 am

Nancy Boy

anyway, think I just wanted to clear that up a bit, since I was getting a bit concerned that things would go out of hand. Was hoping to stay here longer but think I need to go back to sleep! So s'later :) x

8:39 am

Riverdance

so good to see you NB - rest and get well - many hugs

8:44 am

Mom

8:44 am

Mom

now this is beautiful(but a tad long) it is a video some diver took of a flooded meadow in Austria (spring run off) http://mashtart.com/beautiful-flooded-
meadow-green-lake-austria/

9:50 am

Mom

Eva, are you still here?

9:50 am

Mom

ah, Molly has filled you in, was going to tell you NancyBoy was on earlier.

9:50 am

Mom

dfm, we are on the same psychic (or pyschotic?) wavelength....

9:58 am

EvaNadine

im here, sorta. :)

9:58 am

crosshair

while i have it handy would anyone care for the herb and spice list to replicate kfc chicken coating?

9:59 am

MollyL

Yes please.

9:59 am

EvaNadine

molly, glad to hear he was online. hopefully we will receive more updates...

9:59 am

dfmchfhf

How much MSG does it contain, crossy? ;o)

9:59 am

crosshair

1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons Accent (MSG)

9:59 am

MollyL

Well, apparently the malaria story was unfounded. That's all he said.

10:00 am

crosshair

you can omit the last if you wish

10:01 am

Judi

Morning, all. Thanks for the update on NB, Molly.

10:01 am

crosshair

add this to enough flour to coat 10 pieces of chicken

10:01 am

redturtlehead

hi judi and molly.

10:01 am

crosshair

i am glad nb is recovering

10:02 am

crosshair

or bread crumbs

10:02 am

Judi

I think DC was yanking our chain when he told us malaria. *eyes rolling*

10:07 am

MollyL

Well Judi, if that's true, I think it was a very unkind thing to do.

10:08 am

crosshair

if you omit the msg,add a tsp of sugar and a tsp of dried onion flakes..yummers!

10:08 am

Judi

I quite agree, Molly. Although, I have to give DC the benefit of the doubt. I think he was just repeating what he had heard from "the inner sanctum".

10:08 am

MollyL

My copycat KFC recipe says you are to soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least an hour before coating.

10:09 am

crosshair

some do indeed molly

10:10 am

crosshair

i oven bake mine cause i cannot stand immersing it in all that grease

10:10 am

MollyL

Judi, it reminds me of the time my son's wood shop teacher cut his finger during class. By the middle of the day, rumor had it that he had cut OFF his finger. By the end of the day, rumor had it that he had cut off his arm. So much for gossip.

10:11 am

crosshair

sometimes the "inner sanctum" is not a good club lol

10:11 am

Judi

Yes. The grapevine can grow to ridiculous proportions in a very short time.

10:12 am

redturtlehead

DC is not pr*** to yanking chains.

10:12 am

crosshair

lol judi love your no christmas cake icon;) i hate the stuff

10:13 am

Judi

Thanks, Crossy. It is indeed a vile substance that should be banned from civilized society.

10:13 am

crosshair

indeed

10:13 am

MollyL

Well then, Red, he was likely just repeating what he had been told. There were two occasions a few weeks ago where urgent requests were made at the flip for "certain people" to get into MSN messenger regarding NB.

10:14 am

crosshair

ahh,what dark deeds may occur in the midnight hours when the world sleeps...the shadow knows.... lol

10:15 am

Judi

Nothing good happens after midnight. (Allegedly).

10:20 am

crosshair

rubyfoo

10:21 am

crosshair

They would be X-rayed and patted down, Crossy. Which would make them messy, but probably still edible.

10:21 am

10:46 am

I think haggis and organ meats were things people originally ate to keep from starving ( or to have a little variety aside from eating so many potatoes).

10:46 am

rubyfoo

I've never actually had haggis, but would probably like it

10:46 am

I'll freeze balls for Christmas. You can count on me.

10:56 am

carleekat

i was skeptical TO...but the kids LOVE them...and they are relatively easy...if u have a dinner where there will be kids...its worth making them...

10:58 am

carleekat

eeewww..alec baldwin used to be hot..but he put on so much weight...saw him in its complicated and they kept hiding his fat toes..and paunch was ICK

10:59 am

MollyL

I will respectfully disagree. I have never found Alec Baldwin hot. But alcoholism has totally ravaged the man.

11:00 am

carleekat

you freeze them TO but they never get rock like... its like 2 bites of cake you are only adding a thin coating of chocolate to 2 bits of cake.

11:00 am

Judi

All the Baldwins have kind of gone to pot. Aging sucks.

11:00 am

carleekat

11:02 am

MollyL

Kim Basinger is one messed up woman.

11:03 am

carleekat

now...that particular movie... spawned a lot of great fantasies....and..no not acting..mickey roarke was a method actor back then

11:04 am

MollyL

Now Mickey Roarke used to be hot. Heavy on the "used to be". He is now freakishly weird looking.

11:05 am

carleekat

he was always greasy looking to me

11:05 am

If you put "then and now" pics up of Mickey Roarke, you would be able to tell it was the same person. He's in the money now though.

Alec Baldwin was sizzlin' in the day . . . and Micky Rourke was too, in Body Heat!

12:26 pm

Mom

sorry Ruby, they are a basic sugar cookie

12:26 pm

EvaNadine

yummo.
just had birthday cookies (for a coworker) made my another coworkers -- chocolate chip with walnuts.
i normally dont like nuts in cookies, but these are pretty fabulous!

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

I never make cookies any more as husband doesn't eat sweets.....

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

and he is too skinny!

12:28 pm

MollyL

Eva, you are channeling my Mother with "yummo". : P

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

heh, actually, i thought i was channeling rachel ray.
i actually hate it when she says that, but sometimes i catch myself saying it too!

12:29 pm

Anniebrook

I drove Bobby to work this morning with gifts for everyone he comes in contact with in the workshop, then went and had my oil changed in my car, then treated myself to breakfast, then went shopping, came home and am making veggie soup and meatballs.

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

the only one who says yum is autistic Max who makes muchie noises and says ooh lalala when I feed him

12:30 pm

MollyL

Ooo, Annie, your day sounds lovely.

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

that sounds like an ambitious day, annie, I spent most of mine on the couch....lazy ruby

12:30 pm

MollyL

I need to say ooo la la more. : P

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

if you can believe it, Molly, the sportscasters actually say that

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

it cracks me up!

12:31 pm

MollyL

Yummo. neato, my Mother added o to a lot of things. And yes, Molly-o.

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

there is an American one who has the "Eddie Show" and his French is worse than mine (which makes it pretty bad) and he says ooh la la la la\

12:32 pm

MollyL

Oh Eddie! Makes me think of Topo Gigio.

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

carleekat

annie that does sound like a great day...

12:32 pm

MollyL

12:33 pm

EvaNadine

my moms friend used to call me sam-bo when i was little. i very much hated it.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

she was not very PC, I guess

12:34 pm

MollyL

Well, there was the whole controversy over Little Black Sambo. Although I love that story and think about it every time I fix pancakes.

12:34 pm

EvaNadine

well, im not completely sure he knew what he was saying. he was the kind of person to talk first, think later...

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

what about eeny meeny miney mo?

12:35 pm

Anniebrook

Well, it was a productive morning..but I did enjoy breakfast out...eggs over, bacon! home fries, grain whole wheat bread and two cups of coffee

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

ymmo!

12:35 pm

Talk first, think later. There are so many of them running around.

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

annie-o!

12:36 pm

Anniebrook

LOL

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

but I think that in many ways NY was less racist then (in the 40's and 50's), than it is now. It's just that the targets have changed

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

and they used to write racial slurs in front of my father's candy store during the McCarthy era

12:38 pm

Anniebrook

where was the store, ruby

good night Mo hello all. Dc the hoisin sauce was perfect with the steelhead last night, it was great.

5:28 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Oh Alone in the chat again, alone alone.... thinks she may raid PB for some cookies and tea.

5:29 pm

stidgmere

We have fresh tea redturtlehead. We will serve cake with strawberry jam and whipped cream with it. Shall we count you in?

5:29 pm

redturtlehead

hello stidgmere, I am coming on over for that.

5:29 pm

redturtlehead

how are you?

5:30 pm

stidgmere

I am fine. A little tired today. I went to a high school holiday performance last evening. It was lovely but I'm not so perky today.

5:30 pm

dcseain

hi, red, glad the trout worked out :)

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I hope you aren't coming down with a winter illness.

5:31 pm

We too Seain. Hate to ruin good trout.

5:31 pm

dcseain

5:32 pm

stidgmere

I had a flu shot a week ago and I know I am as strong as a horse.

5:32 pm

stidgmere

How did you get steelhead in the southeast?

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

I simply brushed it on, and baked. I think in future, If mixed with some soy souace and marinated for a bit and then baked in that it might be better...

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

Grocery store Stidgmere. they occasionally have it.

5:33 pm

dcseain

soy sauce paste -- you'll find it in an asian market is great for mixing with hoisin

5:33 pm

stidgmere

Oh. People fish for it here and it takes a sportsperson to catch one.

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

that would have been perfect. but as it was, I really like the hoisin sweet but not too sweet...

5:33 pm

stidgmere

Have you had sturgeon (sp) ever? It is a very good fish sauted.

5:33 pm

dfmchfhf

heh, red, we did it again :oP
(but my browser crashed so I couldn't tell you)

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

Hi dfm, I know we are on the same psychotic wavelength,...

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

I have never had sturgeon.

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

DFM, I shall be at work tomorrow, so you will miss me for most of the day.

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

I must look for the sturgeon.

5:35 pm

dfmchfhf

aww :o(
but I'll know you're in the chog in spirit!

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

5:39 pm

dcseain

hi, welki

6:24 pm

dfmchfhf

hi welki! :o)

6:25 pm

dfmchfhf

I think the problem about talking about global warming is that most people like / don't mind the heat as much and don't notice the warmer temperatures.

6:26 pm

dcseain

we noticed the warmer here this year!

6:26 pm

Uneaixoise

no kidding -- all those 100 degree days in a row -- awful

misunderstandings are funny

8:07 pm

stidmama

oh! oh! I gotta SHARE what I did to the 6th graders today!!!!

8:07 pm

stidmama

hey Doren!

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi doren.

8:07 pm

MollyL

Stid, Gran Mere was here earlier, but flitted away before I could chat her up with a comment ca va.

8:08 pm

Dorens

good idea stid, much better than me sharing what the eighth grade girls did today

8:08 pm

stidmama

good, Molly -- she enjoys playing, but often doesn't chat much!

8:08 pm

MollyL

Soooo...what did you do to the 6th graders today Stid?

8:09 pm

stidmama

okay. So you-all know that I didn't follow my own advice, but VOLUNTEERED to spend a couple hours each monday for the next couple months (before my next turn student teaching) with my friend who teaches 6th grade?

8:09 pm

Dorens

glutton for punishment!

8:09 pm

stidmama

And then I volunteered to spend each afternoon this week doing a pre-view of the writing elements they will need starting January?

8:10 pm

stidmama

So today was day three. They were NOT listening to directions and there were several projectiles (pencils, etc) flying around when they thought we weren't looking.

8:10 pm

stidmama

SO --- when the lesson was over, I let my friend know that I had a whole-class scold ... *grin* and then I let them have it!

8:10 pm

balletslippers

haha good for you, stid

8:11 pm

stidmama

Told them that I was completely aware they all understood how to listen to and follow directions; AND that tossing/throwing things was not just inappropriate but dangerous. They were SO SILENT! And they were very very well behaved until the bell rang. We'll see tomorrow how well it sticks...

8:12 pm

stidmama

I think I might have scared them a little...

8:12 pm

stidmama

so Doren... did I do it right do you think?

8:14 pm

Bugsaw

No one will know until tomorrow Stid. If you scared them into respecting you, you did well.

8:14 pm

stidmama

hey Bugs! (((hugs))) happy Wednesday!

8:15 pm

Bugsaw

hi stid. I hope I didn't scare you just then by popping up out of know where

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

ti6/21 please?

8:15 pm

balletslippers

i always secretly loved when a teacher did that. I didn't like my ill-behaved classmates all that much but I played along. Glad you scared some sense into them. Maybe they'll be better tomorrow.

8:15 pm

balletslippers

multiple of one of dorothy's friends, TO

8:15 pm

Bugsaw

I think you just picked a tough time to teach. This close to the holidays, the kids are loosing their minds!!

8:15 pm

stidmama

thanks for that ballet! I always miss that one!

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

8:16 pm

balletslippers

me too, it was my last word.... and i struggled with it!

8:17 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks ballet. I agree with you. I just watched one class brutalize a student teacher for 4 weeks before he got up enough gumption to call them on their behaviour. His last 2 weeks were much better

8:17 pm

stidmama

yes, Bugs, they are -- this is a more challenging class than normal. So I reassured my friend that yes, the kids were squirrely -- (but she is still losing it) *wicked mama look*

8:18 pm

stidmama

I walk a fine line between maintaining order and appearing to be the enemy of Dorothy and friends... *cackle, cackle*

8:18 pm

Bugsaw

Kids seem to like and respect a teacher who is clear about what is expected, both with behaviour and tasks.

8:18 pm

stidmama

how are you doing bugs? I miss seeing you!

8:20 pm

balletslippers

well i'm off. leaving town tomorrow so i have to make an early night of it. happy gridding everyone!

8:20 pm

Bugsaw

I will be much better at the end of 2 more days of school! LOL but I am ok. This is a tough time of year for me and I have been lurking lately in case some overly sensitive people take offense by something I might say. I never know who is on here or who reads the entire chog everyday.....

8:20 pm

my big peeve is when the class is terrible and you have to berate them.... but there are at least seven kids in the class who've done nothing wrong and they keep having to hear that cause of the others

8:42 pm

I agree Doren -- awfully sad when the kids who don't misbehave also get punished. BUT we are also trying to give those students some positive feedback, very deliberately.

8:42 pm

Minveryork

Stid Lantana here is a toxic weed. I just looked over my shoulder out the window to see said lantana getting butchered by a hedge trimmer (evil cackle)

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

8:58 pm

herinfernallady

Silly Monkey no he and his team are real and he is slightly creepy

8:58 pm

around here, lantana is mostly an annual... too wet for it most of the year. But it grows like anything in California.

8:58 pm

lil*monkey

a capella or what?
