prolific is pretty much boggle

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

is it a mindjolt game?

1:27 am

joshuavorbis

dfm, fat chance. she appreciates the time needed to finish the grid each day and has a better set of time management priorities than me

flosey

zoozzoom

Hello, Herin :-)

4:34 am

herinfernallady

Hi Zooooooooooo

herinfernallady

4:34 am

herinfernallady

I just have a good memory

4:41 am

sprite

I am lousy at FB, lady. I go there about on4 or twice a season.

4:41 am

herinfernallady

I put all the steps I learnt today in my notebook so I ndon't have to keep asking

4:42 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I noticed it

4:42 am

sprite

that is what I always do at jobs too. I write it all down, don't have to ask again and can find it back when I need to do it again, even if it is a year later. It is a great way to go.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

And you don't have to waste their time

4:44 am

herinfernallady

yellow posted notes rock

4:44 am

sprite

exactly. I had so many notes in my last job that I put them into a folder, all categorised. And then my colleagues kept borrowing the folder, lol.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

I am in the process of doing that

4:44 am

sprite

it is bound to earn you respect from both colleagues and bosses.

4:45 am

herinfernallady

I stayed back tonight for about 20min so I didn't have to go in the AM and work out were I left off

4:46 am

herinfernallady

4:51 am

sprite

4:51 am

lynxxx

all good, enjoying the cooler weather. PS it is neck -(wondering why that expression came about)

4:52 am

sprite

jeezzz I am not with it today. Neck of the woods. Nick of time. Thanks :)

4:52 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx there was no summer

4:53 am

lynxxx

I know - it was excellent! except for the surplus of rain

4:53 am

lynxxx

...and you can keep the humidity

4:53 am

sprite

"neck of the woods" is an American construct. As early as the mid 16th century "neck" was used in reference to a narrow piece of land. (googled it)

4:54 am

herinfernallady

Bah stupid weather. I will be wearing tights tomorrow

4:55 am

sprite

from another site:
Originally the neck of the woods was a narrow strip of woodland connecting a larger area of woodland.

4:56 am

sprite

I think it is the connecting part that is responsible for the use of the word neck.

4:58 am

herinfernallady

Interesting sprite

4:59 am

sprite

all the things we learn from babble :)

5:01 am

herinfernallady

Yes indead.

herinfernallady

Too busy munching on M and Ms

5:06 am

sprite

I had a bag of the nutty ones yesterday. Ate it all.

5:06 am

herinfernallady

I probably would too

5:09 am

herinfernallady

hang on I have

5:09 am

sprite

I bet lyn has telephone or something like that. Or so deep into the grid she did not see the origin of 'neck of the woods'.

5:10 am

herinfernallady

Or Stew needs cuddles

5:10 am

sprite

ah, even better! Dear Stew.

5:10 am

lynxxx

5:14 am

lynxxx

Yeah on Foxtel. It is an English show Sprite - very very funny, Norton is an excellent host

5:14 am

herinfernallady

damn

5:14 am

sprite

we have a pretty extreme rightwing government atm, lyn. With Wilders, for one. Who wants to get rid of all moslems. For starters, I think. He is creepy.

5:27 am

Sally-catlover

:-) Don't see how it can differ in meaning from the 6, but still.

5:28 am

Sally-catlover

And I only tried it because of the words within it beginning with a C - being very careful not to give clues here :-)

5:29 am

lynxxx

nice! thanks

5:29 am

carleekat

just need one more for nbt

5:30 am

5:48 am

herinfernallady

No I haven't

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, it is for people in the UK who want to move to Australia, they give the family two weeks in a rented house to see if they really want to move for good, got to find a job, school for children, compare food & utility bills to the UK..then they watcha video of their loved ones they would be leaving behind..the decide if they are going to stay in Australia or not.

5:50 am

herinfernallady

You can't find a job here in 2 weeks that is a burke of an idea

5:51 am

lynxxx

Do most of them decide to move?

5:52 am

zoozzoom

The stupid thing is..if i wanted to move, i would try and find all the information i needed first before going, they don`t they go first..so many say they cannot afford to move..love seeing the homes and things..but such a waste of a program that could of been made a lot better.

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Well you have to look at costs. I guess it is ok if you are a backpacker kind of person.

5:54 am

carleekat

my daughter's dream right now is to get her arcitectural degree..move to australia and find a gorgeous hunk of a man there....and design gorgeous condos...( mind she is 14 )

hi again all

Anniebrook

6:56 am

carleekat

mel something or other dropped the f bomb

6:56 am

movieman

She has a name carlee

6:56 am

MollyL

I'm sure Natalie Portman did a great job in that movie. However, it sounds so dark and sick, I doubt I will ever watch it.

6:56 am

carleekat

i know she has a name....but i am not a movie buff...

6:57 am

carleekat

sorry to offend...

6:57 am

Anniebrook

Molly, It's a good movie

6:57 am

MollyL

I'm amazed that was the first time anyone said the eff word at The Oscars.

6:57 am

movieman

I think you should see it Molly, just so you can make your own mind up about it

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

You didn't see the facebook movie?

6:57 am

carleekat

i cant stand the movies anymore...

6:58 am

MollyL

I'm not at a good time in my life to be watching dark movies, but thanks for the idea.

6:58 am

Anniebrook

Social Network was very good

6:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

I thought the King's Speech was deserving.

6:58 am

movieman

And I 've just looked up The King's Speech on imdb, and as usual certain americans are whinging about it winning

6:58 am

carleekat

nor am i molls...if it isnt wrapped up with entertainment..and a happy ending...i will just go read the news for free

6:59 am

MollyL

Whining about what?

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

What Americans are whining? We loved it!

6:59 am

movieman

Some Americans just can't accept that other countries also have a movie industry

6:59 am

carleekat

all these movies with dark undertones..and deep metophoric meanings... no thanks...if spending my $ I WANT TO COME OUT FEELING HAPPY AND ENTERTAINED

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not in my neck of the woods...

6:59 am

Anniebrook

Not true, I love British made movies

7:00 am

MollyL

Seriously, that movie did very well in the US. I don't think it's an anti-British thing.

7:00 am

carleekat

sorry didnt mean cap lock

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

Americans also love the royal family...

7:00 am

MollyL

I agree Carlee. I don't go to the movies to examine the dark side of a mad mind.

7:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

having none of our own.

7:01 am

movieman

Here's an example from someone calling themselves hanooman:

the movie where a bunch of stuck up British royal people who look like they are constipated, sit around and talk about politics. You can bet your ass the Academy will vote for this movie even if they slept through the whole thing.

7:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

time for my coffee- no more international wars

7:05 am

redturtlehead

Sounds like fun! A leap year baby too!!! does she now count her age once every 4 years?

7:06 am

Anniebrook

She turned 43 so I think she would prefer to have her age in quarters but she is not touchy about age.

7:06 am

redturtlehead

Not touchy about age is great. I am getting a bit touchy about mine, though really...there is not much to do about it!

7:07 am

MollyL

Glad to hear you had a good visit with your daughter Annie.

7:07 am

Hi MollyL, how are you?

I had a dream that I was supposed to take care of a 100 year old man who was extremely fragile. I wassupposed to prop him up. He was nice at first, but then would become this thing with really long fingernails that would dig in to me

7:25 am

MollyL

No more spicy food before bed for you, young lady.

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

Isn't there ANY symbolism in that at all?

7:27 am

MollyL

Well, Freud would have fun with the "really long fingernails that would dig into you".

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

He would just play his one note.

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

Everything is a penis. How dull.

7:28 am

MollyL

So you want to discuss the "men are fragile and need to be propped up" thing?

7:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

Good grief.

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

There's no way around it, is threr?

7:29 am

MollyL

Of course, the whole dream could be relevant to your old lady icon.

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

That's YETTA.

7:30 am

MollyL

Begging your Kaplan's pardon, YETTA.

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

I would pursue this analysis, but I must be off to the gym.

Mom

50 words down, time to do some housework be back in a bit for another 50. ((Hugs)) to all of you

8:06 am

uusue2

Wouldn't work at the university, I think, crossy - we all complain bitterly about meetings while we schedule more and more of them.

8:06 am

crosshair

strange waste of time lol

8:07 am

crosshair

or is it just a weekly validation that everyone is still among the living? hehe

8:07 am

uusue2

indeed. but much of it we do in the name of shared governance; faculty want to be involved in all decisions affecting the university, particularly academic ones (which is understandable). But it leads to a lot of meetings.

8:08 am

crosshair

how this must be fixed,how that must be altered,how this must change,and after all that noise it is brought to the powers that be,they look at it for 2 minutes and say sorry,it is not in the budget for this quarter

8:09 am

crosshair

ahh,spooning the power base around...

8:10 am

uusue2

well, the thing is, there are a lot of things where the faculty do have the final say (or almost), particularly if it doesn't involve money (much of curriculum, for example). So it's periodic reinforcement, which is the best way to guarantee that the behavior being reinforced continues :-)

8:11 am

crosshair

hehe,i do not miss office politics at all

8:12 am

MollyL

I agree with Cross. Meetings are usually a waste of time. What takes an hour could be done in 15 minutes.

8:12 am

crosshair

indeed,it is all checks and balances

8:12 am

crosshair

lol,most of our meeting we gigantic fillibusters of 3 hours,set for mid day so it destroyed an entire productive work day

8:14 am

crosshair

and of course all those ideas that look so brilliant on the big notepad on the tripod rarely play out in the field where it matters

8:15 am
