Patxxx

It's 7am here and I've just got up. This is going to be a frustrating grid. I need a spare e or n to finish off desolat.... A quick glance at the rest shows a pattern of half a word here and there, which will irritate me more that pulling up dandelions on my lawn. So I am going to pull dandelions and pick bluebells and face this grid a tad later in the day. Have a good sleep the rest of you.

1:01 am

LOLOL

1:10 am

rururocks

I love the old Mustang's and T Birds

1:12 am

jillibus

After that car I had a yellow Camaro -- didn't like the way it fishtailed.

1:12 am

rururocks

wow.. I never like the Camaros

1:13 am

jillibus

neither did I -- it was hubby's idea :-(

1:14 am

rururocks

that's a muscle car jilli.. and not comfortable either

1:16 am

jillibus

Well, just a meory now -- what was your first car?

1:17 am

Glantarell

bore da pawb - good morning everyone

1:17 am

jillibus

hello glant

1:17 am

rururocks

my first was a 57 Chevy Bel-Air.. but it never ran. then I bought a 66 Impala and I loved that car

1:17 am

Glantarell

thinking this grid is harder than it looked at first sight

1:18 am

Glantarell

hi Jilli

1:18 am

rururocks

I have had so many cars I can't count them any more

1:19 am

rururocks

3 hondas, 3 Lexus, 3 Chevys, 1 ford, 1 Toyota, 1 nissan, 1 volkswagon, 1 Mercedes, come to mind

1:20 am

jillibus

and what now, ruru?

1:20 am

Glantarell

hmmm, 1 nissan, 2 fords, 3 vauxhalls, i renault and a mazda

1:20 am

rururocks

I have a Lexus SUV .. the big one

1:21 am

jillibus

gas guzzler!

1:21 am

rururocks

yeah.. I get `17 mpg I guess

1:22 am

rururocks

we tote the dogs a lot and need the room

1:22 am

Glantarell

couldn't afford to run that here

1:22 am

rururocks

It costs me $100 TO FILL up these days

1:22 am

Glantarell

fuel is over $15 a gallon

1:23 am

rururocks

omg.. wow

1:23 am

jillibus

We had a Ford van and towed a 23 ft Prowler in our Dane-showing days. Fun.

1:23 am

rururocks

I'd walk before I'd pay $15 per gallong

1:23 am

Glantarell

i put Â£120 worth into an ordinary station wagon yesterday and it wasn't even empty before i begn

1:23 am

Glantarell

sorry $120

1:24 am

Glantarell

i think your gallons are smaller than ours? ours are 8 pints

1:24 am

Glantarell

or is it your pints that are smaller? ours are 20 fl oz

1:25 am

rururocks

I don't know I"m too tired to figure that out..lol

1:25 am

jillibus

US gallons are smaller than Imperial ones.

1:25 am

rururocks

found an ae 7 just now

1:25 am

Glantarell

please share

1:26 am

Glantarell

nm - got it

1:26 am

rururocks

ae7 excercise

1:27 am

jillibus

US pint = 16 fluid oz

1:27 am

Glantarell

so your gallon is 128 fl oz and ours is 160 fl oz

1:27 am

jillibus

tyvm ruru

1:28 am

jillibus

don't look at me -- I'm in Canada and we use litres now

1:28 am

Glantarell

we use litres too but i still think in gallons LOL

1:29 am

Glantarell

so the cost of our fuel is around $2.20 CA a litre

1:30 am

rururocks

okay.. tennis in the early a.m.... I need to go to bed.. night all.. if I don't see you jilli have a lovely MOther's day and I hope that next week the play is great and they dote all over you and spoil you rotten.

1:32 am

jillibus

we are so mixed up here, litres, gallons, pints, quarts, kilos, pounds, miles, kilometres, feet, inches, centimetres -- at least we don't have to calculate stones. And I remember having to do sums in Â£sd.

1:32 am

Glantarell

and about $9 US for a US galllon

1:32 am

jillibus

Aw, thanks ruru - xx

1:32 am

rururocks

poofs

1:33 am

Glantarell

we are all mixed up between imperial and metric here too - they began a conversion to metric in 1971 and it kind of fizzled out

1:33 am

Glantarell

bye rur

1:33 am

jillibus

But the Â£sd wasn't in Canada -- in Shanghai, lol!

1:33 am

Glantarell

:-)

1:34 am

Glantarell

I began with Â£sd too - and remember farthings, 3penny bits, sixpences, florins

1:34 am

Glantarell

currency was much more interestig then LOL

1:35 am

jillibus

and crowns, half-crowns, guineas (are guineas still alove?)

1:35 am

jillibus

*alive

1:35 am

Glantarell

not really

1:36 am

Glantarell

technically would be one pound ten pence which doesn;t sound nearly as exotic as a guinea

1:36 am

jillibus

I still have a silver sixpence --lent it to my d-i-l for the wedding -- Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a lucky sixpence in your shoe.

1:37 am

Glantarell

i've never heard the lucky sixpence bit but brides here still do the old, new, borrowed, blue

1:37 am

jillibus

I heard Kate had a sixpence too...

1:37 am

Glantarell

she definitely had the old, new, borrowed, blue but not sure about the sixpence - must have missed the reference

1:45 am

YadNivek

28 left and that wall got me

1:45 am

YadNivek

I'll have to finish tomorrow...

1:47 am

3:20 am

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:21 am

mrpresident

(((ruby))) !!

3:22 am

rubyfoo

first 50 were easy; now I've come to a screeching halt!

3:22 am

mrpresident

Mother's Day tomorrow, roads are just pathetic today... no parking or space to shop!!

3:23 am

rubyfoo

I don't know when it's Mothers' Day in France, but I'll probably get a call from my (dutiful) son!

3:23 am

mrpresident

oh isn't he wonderful!!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

yes, but mainly dutiful... :(

3:25 am

mrpresident

ha !

3:26 am

rubyfoo

71 words and, finally, nbt! but the 9? I don't think so

3:27 am

mrpresident

the 9.... will try and clue you?

3:30 am

Dianne

meowing critter (plus extra lettter) and things that go before vera.

3:30 am

mrpresident

ok, you need to find the ca6...

3:30 am

mrpresident

dianne!! (((hugs))) !!

3:31 am

rubyfoo

((dianne)) it was on the tip of my tongue NOT!

3:31 am

mrpresident

meow creature + claws on a eagle

3:31 am

Dianne

Hi right back at you. How are you doing?

3:31 am

mrpresident

without the n at the end of the claw clue

3:32 am

mrpresident

then plural it for the c9

3:32 am

mrpresident

oops, I mean you had to find the ca7 first

3:33 am

rubyfoo

how do you find words like that? I have to go and be polite to our house guests. See you later and thanks for the help. 76 words, now

3:34 am

mrpresident

good to see you Dianne! Long time darling!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

3:34 am

mrpresident

see ya ruby!! (((hugs))) !!

3:35 am

Dianne

I've beereally busy and haven't made the time to chat. I have lurked a bit. Hope all is o.k. with you and yours.

3:38 am

mrpresident

getting there dianne, if you take time to read my bio, it shows the crap, but things are coming around really well!

3:40 am

mrpresident

I refereed my first Premier League Soccer game today (and was assessed) and really really enjoyed it!!

3:40 am

mrpresident

I am moving on up the ladder in the football world and really happy with my success so far

3:41 am

Dianne

Just read your bio and I am thrilled that you got his back pinned to the wall. Go for that public apology!

3:42 am

mrpresident

absolutely Dianne... I have been blocking him constantly, and now he has to say something, cause the innuendo and lies have caused so many problems.

3:44 am

Dianne

Are you worried about your safety?

3:44 am

mrpresident

yes Dianne, very! But I am gettting a lot of councelling for it

3:46 am

Dianne

Did you get a restraining order against him?

3:49 am

mrpresident

no, because I thought if I did, he would do something worse to get at me... the CJC will use a magistrate and probably put one up against me, without me asking for it.

3:49 am

mrpresident

he will also be paying punative damages

3:51 am

Dianne

I'm glad to hear that he will pay damages.

3:51 am

mrpresident

thanks dianne... appreciate your kindness

3:52 am

mrpresident

i am going to get terri1 on here to have a chat and play... brb

Hi guys hope all well and happy. It's mothers day tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.

6:45 am

sprite

good afternoon all. My husband and daughter aren't home tomorrow and they surprised me with a lovely breakfast today :)

6:45 am

mrpresident

hi terri! so tired, but gonna watch the football come hell or high water!! QPR v Leeds.... and QPR have been promoted to EPL!!

6:46 am

MollyL

Good morning all. Sprite, what a lovely thing for your daughter and husband to do. Happy Early Mother's Day.

6:46 am

sprite

Hi Molly, thanks :)
Hello mrP

6:47 am

terri1

Hey, MrP I think you meant the magistrate will put a restraining order up FOR you, not against you!

6:47 am

mrpresident

hi molly and sprite

6:48 am

mrpresident

yes, you are right... magistrate will put a PVO out against him without me asking for one. Would be perfect

6:49 am

terri1

Oh, nice to celebrate early. Good for you sprite

6:49 am

sprite

against the lunatic who set fire to your place? Good starting point.

6:50 am

sprite

I really appreciate them thinking about it and putting in the effort to do it a day earlier :) Makes me happy.

6:51 am

MollyL

You have a good circle around you Sprite. : D

6:51 am

mrpresident

my profile says it all about what he has been doing. I can't prove he did it, but can prove causal links.

6:52 am

sprite

oh yes. Am grateful about them every day.

6:52 am

mrpresident

it is nice you got your Mother's Day!!

6:53 am

terri1

Isn't it the little touches that make Mothers Day special? I always have a good day.

6:54 am

sprite

I always am very clear about not accepting any expensive presents. I used to love the things the kids made for me when they were little. And I love the attention... breakfast, a flower, an extra hug. Those are the things that make Mother's Day for me :)

6:55 am

mrpresident

I just wanna sleep in and go to the football! I have had my hubby organise a dinner date and I work tomorrow... excellent day ahead for me for Mother's Day!!
Wishing all you mums the best day too

6:56 am

sprite

sounds wonderful, mrP. I hope you have enough energy to enjoy it. Take care.

6:56 am

mrpresident

thank you

6:56 am

forwardbyfaith

mrp - just read your profile. So sorry for what has been going on with you. It sounds very scary. Do you know what kind of treatment you will have for your cancer? I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year so cancer patients are close to my heart. Hang in there!

6:57 am

terri1

Absolutely, that's what counts. I love hugs from my son. He's a teenager now but will always give me a hug. Gee, I hope the hugs don't stop coming.

6:58 am

mrpresident

faith, I find out everything on the 24th May. having a couple of problems makes it difficult, but I would like to opt for a hystorectomy personally

6:58 am

MollyL

Sprite, well said. It is the little things that make Mother's Day, and every day, special.

6:58 am

sprite

they might for a while, terri, but they will come back, grin. My son still hugs me (he is almost 15), but I am not allowed to give or expect a hug when there are friends close.

6:59 am

sprite

I can imagine, mrP. Safety first. And the thing is more trouble than blessing at our age, when we don't want a new baby anyway.

7:00 am

forwardbyfaith

mrp - oh I hope you don't have to have a hysterectomy! The hormone swing can be quite the wild ride. I am on tamoxifen and having many menopausal symptoms as side effects even though I am only 37 and it isn't fun.

7:00 am

terri1

Ah, yes sprite. He can be different when they have friends around.

7:01 am

Hello, Pini. Another not so challenging grid.

10:31 am

Pinikula

hi BR! :)

10:31 am

Pinikula

How's the hammock doing?

10:33 am

o-o

I took the hammock down since the canadian geese had taken a liking to it.

10:34 am

Pinikula

oh no!!!

10:34 am

Pinikula

shame on them!

10:36 am

Pinikula

...and how are the waters coming along? receding?

10:41 am

o-o

The water is down 11.69 feet .... needs to go another 9 feet to get below flood level.

10:41 am

Pinikula

wow...it's come a long way yet has so far to go!

10:42 am

Pinikula

Hope it clears soon and that you can enjoy spring ... and perhaps rehang your hammock so as to enjoy the summer!

10:44 am

uusue2

hi pini and br, glad to hear the water is receding!

10:45 am

o-o

The sun has been a more regular visitor and buds are forming on the trees. The geese likely will be moving on now that the temperatures are rising .... had twenty inches of snow in Manitoba last week ... to cold for the geese.

10:45 am

Pinikula

hi uu

10:45 am

uusue2

our campus library had to rope off one set of stairs because geese were nesting next to it and attacking students who walked by :-/

10:46 am

Pinikula

yikes, uu! sorry to hear, but glad we've not had to do the same thing

10:46 am

uusue2

I think this is where they come when they leave you, br, lots of babies now

10:46 am

Pinikula

although the warmer it gets, the more squirrels are appearing out and about on campus....makes it tough to walk...dodging squirrels and/or walking on a bunch of nutshells

10:47 am

uusue2

there's a nice little path through the woods that I take to my office but the squirrels dig it up every fall burying nuts (it's wood chips)

10:48 am

o-o

Need to recruit Koda for squirrel management.

10:48 am

Pinikula

Oh, trust me...when he goes to campus with me and sees a squirrel, it's on!

10:53 am

o-o

Time to get working on the recycling detail. Have a great day.

10:53 am

Pinikula

enjoy, BR! cya soon! :)

10:53 am

10:54 am

10:57 am

uusue2

cross between felines and bison? (not my clue but got it for me earlier)

10:58 am

Pinikula

ca9 = feline with a stutter + buff***** (pl)

10:58 am

Pinikula

* snap * uu ;)

10:58 am

uusue2

that's a ca7 but then two different styles of plural give you an 8 and a 9

10:59 am

jbp

omg, it really IS a blend of those 2 animals.. wow...

10:59 am

jbp

The word of the day, however, is lo7/36. Good Lord, I've seen some stupid words in these grids, but that one takes the cake.

11:00 am

Pinikula

11:00 am

JBV

earworm of the day - Here we go L***y- Loo, here we go L***by-lie,

11:02 am

MollyL

The lo 7 starts like an oil job, but spelled differently.

11:02 am

JBV

re 5 and 6 are not a combo, re 5 is to give a weapon again

11:02 am

JBV

re6 is to start your computer again

11:02 am

MollyL

JBV!! I was singing that earlier myself. All on a Saturday night!

11:03 am

JBV

11:03 am

11:05 am

MollyL

Well yeah, girl parts if you are an adolescent male. : P

11:06 am

jbp

11:06 am

jbp

hee Molly, that's why I said it that way

11:06 am

JBV

and speaking of April showers - I'm sending out good hopes and wishes for anyone affected by these horrendous floods

11:07 am

JBV

11:07 am

MollyL

11:35 am

3:38 pm

gwenski

Hi beach

3:39 pm

gwenski

3:39 pm

gwenski

*aren't

3:40 pm

jesdraggon

those are the same i have...

3:41 pm

jesdraggon

9 letter words are scary just on the basis of size though :)

3:44 pm

gwenski

ooh! Just found ca6/30

3:52 pm

gwenski

and ca 6/21!

3:53 pm

jesdraggon

yay! (i am not as tenacious and moved on to other words...)

3:56 pm

gwenski

The 7-8-9 are words for a hybrid animal of a cow and a buffalo, with two different plurals.

3:57 pm

beachboggle

wow...thanks gwen

3:58 pm

mkg

3:58 pm

gwenski

um5 is a brownish color

3:59 pm

jesdraggon

thanks gwen; the only ones i knew were beefalo...

3:59 pm

mkg

ty. got the color.

3:59 pm

gwenski

For the u4, think of the Disney elephant, or extra-big shrimp

4:00 pm

mkg

dont know cow and buffalo animal. is there such an animal?

4:01 pm

mkg

well i never heard that ca animal word before. or the plurals.

4:01 pm

Mark Jones

Feline animal + bronze giant in Greek mythology

4:01 pm

mkg

ty for other u word. got it.

4:01 pm

Mark Jones

Hello everyone

4:02 pm

mkg

i am disappointed in the 9 word.

4:02 pm

gwenski

Why, mkg?

4:02 pm

Mark Jones

?

4:02 pm

jesdraggon

ok. back from re4ing the article about ca8 :)

4:03 pm

jesdraggon

i didn't know they crossed them with yaks too.... or that water buffalo can't cross with bison

4:03 pm

mkg

i enjoy the cleverness of the long words which i cant find. but this one i never heard of.

4:04 pm

Mark Jones

I agree, mkg. It is a weird word.

4:04 pm

jesdraggon

well, now you have a new word, mkg. don't be disappointed by that.

4:04 pm

Soodle

Hi Babble friends. Just a quick visit. Off on my holidays tomorrow :-)

4:05 pm

Mark Jones

Hi Soodle!

4:05 pm

jesdraggon

hey soodle, have a lovely holiday!

4:05 pm

Soodle

Thanks :-)

4:09 pm

mkg

what is with this chat today?

4:10 pm

Mark Jones

Gah, is anyone else getting the error boxes?

4:10 pm

Soodle

MKG, could you clue the 9 letter word, please?

4:10 pm

mkg

getting red boxes

4:10 pm

jesdraggon

was earlier, mark. seems to've stopped here, but it's been going around.

4:10 pm

Mark Jones

Same, mkg

4:10 pm

mirandapan

me, too

4:10 pm

tedybeth

yes to red boxes .... boo

4:11 pm

Mark Jones

I hate them.

4:11 pm

gwenski

ca8 & ca9 are plurals of a hybrid animal (ca7), which is a cross between a cow and a buffalo.

4:11 pm

mkg

9: ca. feline pet, double last cons. then think of a mix of a cow and buffalo and that is the word and plural two different ways

4:12 pm

Soodle

Oh thanks, Mkg. My poor monkeys would never have got that one!

4:12 pm

gwenski

lo 7, please?

4:13 pm

jesdraggon

like slang for breasts but different first letter

4:14 pm

gwenski

Oh thanks. I was thinking of a different slang word, and it wasn't working. But got it now.

4:14 pm

jesdraggon

off for a bit. laters, gators! :)

4:14 pm

Mark Jones

Bye jes!

4:15 pm

Soodle

Bye Jes. Have a good day :-)

4:15 pm

Mark Jones

May I have some of the bottom a?

4:16 pm

Soodle

Mark - you are certainly an international man of mystery! Every time I see you, you are flying a different flag!!

4:16 pm

Mark Jones

Well, that reminds me.

4:16 pm

Soodle

I feel another flag coming on........

4:16 pm

gwenski

Mark: a women singer, lower than soprano

4:17 pm

Mark Jones

Thanks gwen

4:17 pm

gwenski

Another set: something to put on burns.

4:17 pm

Mark Jones

I am a singer myself, so I got that rather quickly.

4:18 pm

Mark Jones

No, I don't recognize the last clue you gave, gwen. thank you anyway.

4:19 pm

Mark Jones

STUPID RED BOXES!

4:19 pm

Soodle

Its obviously contagious. I'm getting them now :-(

4:21 pm

gwenski

It's a plant, Mark. It's could also be a greeting (another way of saying 'hello'), if said with the proper accent.

4:22 pm

Mark Jones

Hmmm, closer this time but still not getting it.

4:23 pm

gwenski

how about, a + not high?

4:23 pm

Mark Jones

Finally, thank you very much.

4:24 pm

gwenski

I'll take a clue for ti6.

4:31 pm

uusue2

4:31 pm

Soodle

Hello Sue :-). Lovely to see you.

4:31 pm

uusue2

4:32 pm

Soodle

How is your dad and step mom Sue?

4:32 pm

Mark Jones

Hi uu!

4:32 pm

uusue2

pretty good, last I heard. My stepmom should be going home soon unless something has changed (with 24-hour nursing care, but still!)

4:32 pm

uusue2

hi, mark!

4:33 pm

uusue2

and my dad is fine as usual; his best boyhood friend (they've known each other for almost 85 years) is coming by to visit him in a couple of weeks, so they should have a good time :-)

4:34 pm

Soodle

Wow. Thats good! I am off to Spain with my 80 yr old Mom tomorrow. I have mixed feelings about the trip, she is pretty high maintenance, and not too well. I hope your dad has a great catch-up iwth his old buddy :-)

4:34 pm

Mark Jones

Spain is awesome! My sister just went to France.

4:34 pm

uusue2

oh, soodle, it should be fun anyway. where in Spain are you going?

4:35 pm

Soodle

Its an island off the coast of Africa, in the Canary Islands, called Lanzarote, but belonging to Spain. Like I said.....mixed feelings!

4:35 pm

Mark Jones

I take French though (just like my sister)

4:36 pm

Mark Jones

Sounds cool though.

4:36 pm

uusue2

where in france, mark?

4:36 pm

Mark Jones

In a town called Rodez, in way south France.

4:36 pm

uusue2

huh, don't know it.

4:37 pm

Mark Jones

No, it isn't a very well-known town.

4:37 pm

Soodle

France is lovely. Mark, have you chatted with Rubyfoo - she is an American, transplanted in

4:37 pm

Soodle

Hic... France...

4:37 pm

Mark Jones

Of course.

4:38 pm

Mark Jones

Another red box for me!

4:39 pm

uusue2

ok, I see it - I spent a couple of weeks in a tiny town west of Beziers once, very nice

4:39 pm

uusue2

and I am getting sporadic red boxes as well :-(

4:39 pm

Mark Jones

Awesome!

4:39 pm

Mark Jones

That is not awesome.

4:40 pm

Mark Jones

The town is, the boxes aren't, just clarifying.

4:40 pm

uusue2

right, I got that :-)

4:41 pm

Mark Jones

Hey, I am more than halfway. Haven't looked at the chart for a while.

4:41 pm

Bye soodle, have fun in Spain!

4:44 pm

Soodle

Not quite poofed.... When you say you are a singer, Mark, are you in a choir/band/solo ?

4:45 pm

Mark Jones

I sing in a choir. In my next concert I have a solo, but I don't usually sing alone.

4:45 pm

Mark Jones

I play in the orchestra also.

4:46 pm

Soodle

Yay Mark! What instrument do you play?

4:46 pm

Mark Jones

Violin

4:46 pm

Soodle

Why did I know that you would be a fiddler :-p

4:47 pm

Mark Jones

At least I'm not a fiddler...crab! (terrible pun, I know)

hi stid (((hugs))) !!

8:42 pm

stidmama

I am just sitting down to work on the American Revolution project. Spent $500 on books at a warehouse sale (all at least half off, some much more)... so very much more impoverished, and much more ready to be a teacher! :-D only four more weeks...

8:42 pm

stidmama

hey mrp! ((many hugs)) I miss you!

8:42 pm

mrpresident

yes sue... today is my day off stress and I get to referee All Age football again, my favourite sport!!

mrpresident

hi molly :)

8:43 pm

MollyL

Hi Mr. P. *Places early Mother's Day tiara on Stid*

8:43 pm

jesdraggon

you may be short of cash, but you're rich in books and knowledge, right? :)

8:43 pm

stidmama

stidkids are well enough -- we are watching the latest Dr Who at the moment... love how it combines pirates with sci fi! LOL

8:43 pm

stidmama

thank Molly!

8:44 pm

stidmama

well rich in books anyway, jes -- how are the critters today?

8:44 pm

mrpresident

It is a great day out in the sun... 2 games, both 90 minutes, so I start at 1pm and finish around 5pm... good exercise all round

8:44 pm

MollyL

***Back to the perplexing season finale of "Fringe"****

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

not too bad. hound dog didn't like the thunder earlier

8:44 pm

jesdraggon

bye, molly

8:45 pm

mrpresident

I haven't seen one of the new doctor who... is he fabulous??

8:45 pm

stidmama

that sounds lovely indeed! we have a bit of sunshine at the moment, but most days here are still very gray, cold and rainy. NOT typical spring weather for these parts.

8:45 pm

stidmama

we don't get thunder very often, thankfully

8:45 pm

mrpresident

Molly, I tried watching fringe but got very lost in the plot at times

8:46 pm

jesdraggon

it was shortlived, so that's good

8:47 pm

uusue2

sounds wonderful, mrp!

8:47 pm

uusue2

and stid, I am jealous of the books (although I still have mountains of books here that I haven't read yet...)

8:48 pm

stidmama

((sue)) most of them are children's books of course, some reference books, some art books, some fiction, some history... I LOVE books. Probably should have gone for a librarian's degree instead of teaching. (too late to change that now)

8:48 pm

stidmama

brb phone

8:48 pm

mrpresident

ah, puter is about to die... if I disappear, sorry and (goodbye in advance).

8:49 pm

hi crossy :)

8:58 pm

8:59 pm

jesdraggon

start your computer again, teach

8:59 pm

uusue2

restart your computer, wv

8:59 pm

wvteach

thnx uusue

9:00 pm

wvteach

thnx jes also

9:06 pm

stidmama

back(ish) hey cross, bye mrp.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

hey stid, i never heard what happened with the son and the senior project?

9:11 pm

stidmama

the performance was allowed, it went well. Mother was able to be there. He was given an alternate assignment to complete -- a sort of reflection, but I don't know if he followed the directions or if it was accepted. So... still waiting to find out if my evening June 14 is scheduled.

9:16 pm

stidmama

anyone there? my last two entries were rejected...

9:16 pm

wvteach

mine were too, but then i could start entering again

9:17 pm

stidmama

good. *waves at teach* four more weeks of student teaching, and then (presumably) I will get certification!

9:17 pm

wvteach

only 11 more to go and want to get done quickly and don't want any more of those red boxes

9:18 pm

wvteach

congrats - i am just finishing three years of being retired from teaching - and loved those years with the kids

9:19 pm

stidmama

go teach go! I can only barely imagine retirement. It's still at least 25 years away for me, closer to 30 if they raise the retirement age as much as they really need to.

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

9:20 pm

stidmama

welcome to the grid, min!

9:20 pm

wvteach

my granddaughter will start in kindergarten where I taught and I am looking forward to volunteering back there

9:20 pm

Minveryork

By the way,congratulations to all of the finishers!YAY

9:21 pm

stidmama

that will be fun, teach! I am realizing only now how very different teaching is from volunteering to help small groups and individuals! LOL oh well, I like the large group instruction too, it's just the classroom management piece that is slow to develop.

9:21 pm

stidmama

ah, NBT!

9:23 pm

wvteach

the management will come more easly when you have a classroom of your own and can start from the first day in establishing rapport, structure, etc.

9:23 pm

stidmama

and back to lesson planning. Feather sent me copies of some of her forms for keeping things straight and I am going to try them out tonight.

9:23 pm

stidmama

oh teach! ((((many hugs)))) that is what I needed to hear this evening. :-D

9:24 pm

uusue2

yay, stid! Sounds like things are going well!

9:24 pm

uusue2

and hi, min!

9:24 pm

stidmama

yes sue, they are pretty smooth -- I keep waiting for that anvil to fall on my head. Two of my dear friends in the cohort for the master's learned only this week that they are being dropped. Four weeks from graduation. Pretty sad.

9:25 pm

Minveryork

Hi there uusue2! How are you doing this fine evening?

9:25 pm

uusue2

ouch! That is tough.

9:25 pm

wvteach

i have served as the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor for student teachers and have seen how much more stressful student teaching (in someone else's classroom) is than "real" teaching

9:26 pm

uusue2

I'm good, min! Just have a little grading to do this weekend and I am putting it off :-)

9:26 pm

uusue2

but next week is finals so a frenzy of grading to do but then I will be DONE!!!

9:26 pm

stidmama

I don't think that is going to happen to me, though. My supervisor is a retired principal and she is very affirming when I have questions or worries. She is also very clear about what I need to do to get better... I benefit greatly from people being direct.

9:27 pm

wvteach

we had to file plans of action very soon in to the semester if the student teacher was "failing" - we wouldn't have been able to wait that long in to the semester - we had to show a corrective action plan and to document their attempts at changing the specific behaviors where they were in trouble - that is awful

9:27 pm

uusue2

ah, that's good, stid!

9:28 pm

stidmama

yes, I had a rough start, but we ironed things out quickly and it's much better. I think what is pulling me through is my clear desire and efforts at improvement. I wasn't really familiar with this grade level (elementary) when I started, most of my volunteering and interest is with middle schoolers.

9:28 pm

wvteach

stid - i;m sure that you will make a good teacher who will care about your students

9:29 pm

Minveryork

B's Banished! 1 left

9:29 pm

uusue2

ah yes, different ages can be very different! I can't imagine teaching children, actually (young adults are challenging enough!)

9:30 pm

uusue2

go min!!

9:30 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! ca6/30 was my last word

9:30 pm

stidmama

thanks teach. I am learning so much, and I can tell the improvement in myself. anyway, I do want to get this bit of planning out of the way so I can spend tomorrow analyzing the results of the assessments I gave last week. *proud mama teacher look* most of the students showed wonderful improvement, and it was clear that "practice makes perfect" for many of them! have a lovely evening all.

9:31 pm

stidmama

YAY min!!!

9:31 pm

uusue2

yay, min!

9:31 pm

Minveryork

I will be here off and on to give clues if anyone needs.

9:31 pm

uusue2

9:51 pm

crosshair
