1:15 am

1:15 am
rururocks

Basil, marjoram, spring garlic, three kinds of onion, italian parseley, oregano
1:16 am
rururocks

add a touch of dark balsalmic vinegar to the sauce dee
1:16 am
rururocks

roasted red peppers..
1:17 am
rururocks

chopped eggplant is good too
1:17 am
cybernan

a little grated lemon rind
1:18 am
rururocks

mmm
1:18 am
VolleymomDee

balsalmic vinegar in lieu of wine? red peppers sounds better than green (which is what I usually use), also tomatoes
1:18 am
flosey

that's a new twist nan
1:18 am
cybernan

enhances the other flavours
1:18 am
rururocks

1:20 am
VolleymomDee

1:20 am
VolleymomDee

ty for input... really glad I asked
1:20 am
rururocks

core the peppers and roast them in the oven until they char a bit.. and then toss them into a brown bag to sweat an they are easier to peel off the outer skin

We'll have to work her over, Nef!
12:48 pm

12:48 pm
Pinikula

12:49 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

haha! maybe i can get my mom to cough up the $$$??? :)
12:49 pm
Pinikula

I'd go next door?
12:49 pm
Pinikula

* cough *
12:49 pm
Pinikula

nope, didn't work, PD...you may be on your own for this one! LOL
12:49 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I'd drive to the ambulance
12:49 pm
m9f9l

Glad to do it!! especially since it made me realize my battery was just about to die out..and I have a friend about to do a drive by on her way from Corvallis to Dakota!
12:49 pm
Scrabbler

Hi Pini's Dtr
12:49 pm
Nef

All $15, Pini's Dtr?

Scrabbler

Power outage in Oregon?
12:50 pm

she'd have one of US call the ambulance!
12:50 pm
Pinikula

glad to have helped, m9 :)
12:50 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

worse scrab...verizon is down
12:50 pm
m9f9l

eek! I better get ready for that actually!
12:50 pm
Pinikula

seems like central/southern OR
12:50 pm
Pinikula

good point, m9!!!
12:50 pm
Scrabbler

That's not good. Potentially dangerous.
12:51 pm
Pinikula

very true, scrabs....
12:51 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

haha Nef. I didn't know how much it was.
12:51 pm
Pinikula

...thankfully, other electronics are working...
12:51 pm
bichon

what is happening?
12:51 pm
Pinikula

...i.e., the net...that's how my daughter found me to tell me it wasn't working!
12:52 pm
Scrabbler

Storms going on?
12:52 pm
Pinikula

Verizon cellphone coverage is out in most of central/southern OR...
12:52 pm
Pinikula

no storms, scrabs
12:52 pm
Nef

LOL! Couldn't you see US doing a 911 call for another player? "Hello, 911? This is Nef in Shoreview MN calling to let you know that Pini's Dtr needs an ambulance where ever she is...."
12:52 pm
Pinikula

ROFL!!!!
12:52 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

haha!
12:53 pm
Scrabbler

Do you recall the international rescue of a suicidal Babbler. US to the UK.
12:53 pm
Pinikula

...yeah, that's it, wherever she is...up in the hills in an itty bitty town...good luck
12:53 pm
Pinikula

Yes, Scrabs!!!!
12:53 pm
Pinikula

I remember!
12:53 pm
Nef

"her mother Pini stomped on her hand as she reached for Pini's purse to pay membership fees....
12:53 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

It wouldn't surprise me if you could call 911 over the computer?
12:54 pm
Pinikula

Nef, I'm a 45 minute drive from her...
12:54 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

sounds about right Nef!
12:54 pm
Scrabbler

Skype
12:54 pm
Nef

Skype would work
12:54 pm
Pinikula

I have Skype...wonder if they accept 911 calls?
12:54 pm
Pinikula

GMTA, ladies!
12:54 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

haven't tried skype yet!
12:54 pm
Pinikula

you should...
12:54 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I don't have anyone to do it with?
12:55 pm
Pinikula

YOUR MOTHER!!!
12:55 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

Don't you think its pretty sad that we're so close and I'd only see you on skype?
12:55 pm
Pinikula

I'm going to see you later today and tomorrow morning, too!
12:55 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

as a matter of fact....i'll be seeing you later today and first thing tmw
12:56 pm
Pinikula

Well, in between visits we could SEE each other...
12:56 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

all other times i'm either at work or sleeping!
12:56 pm
Nef

and Pini could watch CamoBoy grow too
12:56 pm
Pinikula

but when you're home, CamoBoy and I could see each other!
12:57 pm
Pinikula

yeah, what Nef said!!!
12:57 pm
Nef

LOL GMTA
12:57 pm
Pinikula

* giggle *
12:57 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

Maybe i'll practice with you.
12:57 pm
Scrabbler

What is GMTA?
12:57 pm
Pinikula

Great Minds Think Alike
12:57 pm
Pinikula

there's an idea, PD
12:57 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, yeah. TY.
12:57 pm
Nef

Good minds Think alike
12:58 pm
Pinikula

yvw ;)
12:58 pm
Nef

ooops! Pini had it right!
12:58 pm
Pinikula

either way ;)
12:58 pm
Scrabbler

I've done nothing productive yet today--woke up at 11.
12:58 pm
Nef

Our minds are better than good; right Pini?
12:58 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

gggxggggggxfhvccccccc.
12:59 pm
Pinikula

HI Camo!
12:59 pm
Pinikula

I think so, Nef!!!
12:59 pm
Nef

Hi CamoBoy!!!
12:59 pm
Scrabbler

Who is CamoBoy?
1:00 pm
Pinikula

CamoBoy is my grandson ;)
1:00 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

my son
1:00 pm
Pinikula

PD's little boy ;)
1:00 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

21 month old son.
1:00 pm
Scrabbler

I suspected that. How old is he?
1:00 pm
Nef

(Don't worry, Scrabs, they are going to try to confuse you)
1:00 pm
Pinikula

He's a cutie!!! :)
1:01 pm
Pinikula

here...let me change my icon...)
1:02 pm
Pinikula

if you refresh, you'll see his big smile :)
1:03 pm
Nef

What a wonderful smile he has!
1:03 pm
Scrabbler

I am guessing he is 16-17 mo old.
1:03 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

what a handsome boy! He's 21 months
1:03 pm
Pinikula

(in that picture he was, scrabs)
1:03 pm
Pinikula

let me see if I can find a more recent one
1:04 pm
Scrabbler

I was basing my guess on the teeth--canines come in at age 18-20 mo and he didn't have them in that pic.
1:05 pm
Nef

you are a good doc, Scrabs! :-)
1:05 pm
Pinikula

you're good, scrabs!
1:05 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

he's definately got them now.....my fingers to prove! :)
1:05 pm
Pinikula

(hey, pd, can I post the pic of you and C together from one of your FB pics?)
1:06 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

sure
1:06 pm
Nef

Wow! What a nice Mom you are Pini!
1:07 pm
Pinikula

thx, nef!
1:07 pm
Pinikula

PD...where's the one of you and him together that we're voting on???
1:07 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

the pudding faced egg beater one is good :)
1:07 pm
Pinikula

or is that one too 'old'?
1:07 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

i'm not sure of which one you're thinking of
1:08 pm
Scrabbler

Pediatricians are experts at estimating age and wt of kids, and developmental levels.
1:09 pm
Pinikula

scrabs, he's a bright one!!!
1:09 pm
Pinikula

can't grab a FB pic, PD...you'll have to send me one you want me to post
1:10 pm
Pinikula

he's been working on flashcards, scrabs...can say "wheelbarrow"
1:10 pm
Pinikula

(like little ones do anyway)
1:11 pm
Nef

Scrabs; I found my kids' old developmental calendars recently. I was surprised that my kids were so talkative by the time they were 1 year old. My grandson is now 2 and he doesn't talk as much as they did at a much younger age. I worry but think it's due to his mother not talking to him much. AM I right of off a bit
1:11 pm
Scrabbler

Reading, creative play, exploration of his world, good manners...keep going!
1:13 pm
Nef

lego
1:13 pm
Pinikula

My middle brother didn't talk for a long time...mom took him to the doctor to find out why...
1:13 pm
Pinikula

...doctor's prescription?
1:13 pm
Pinikula

...tell his siblings to quit talking for him...
1:13 pm
Pinikula

...he hasn't shut up since.
1:14 pm
Scrabbler

Bombard kids' brains with language. And good manners are THE most important aspect of school readiness. Character development trumps academic performance. The Brat epidemic is widespread.
1:14 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I emailed you mom
1:15 pm
Pinikula

ok
1:15 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I'm not sure if those are what you were thinking of
1:16 pm
Nef

my D-I-L is bipolar and other mental health problems, We try to have our grandson overnight at least once a wekk; I focus on his and talk and play and try my best to stimulate him and show him what's normal
1:17 pm
Pinikula

looking now...they'll work...wonder about the red one, w/long hair, on the bridge
1:18 pm
Scrabbler

I helped raise my 3 nephews for the same issues, Nef, and father is alcoholic.
1:19 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

oh! That was from LAST mother's day
1:19 pm
Pinikula

nm, PD
1:19 pm
Pinikula

I'm sorry to hear, ladies...hope things turned out well or get better (as the case may be)
1:20 pm
Pinikula

(I'm going to post the 'yum' pic)
1:20 pm
MollyL

(Scrabs) and (Nef)...those kids are lucky to have people like you in their lives.
1:21 pm
Nef

I just wish that we could have him more often
1:21 pm
Scrabbler

With the boys now 17, 21 and 23 THEY need to make the decisions to make their lives the way they want. But there is SO much emotional baggage. I had and still have no power or control to totally change things for them.
1:22 pm
Pinikula

so true, molly!
1:22 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

Scrab, do you think a child's development is all parents or child development also?
1:22 pm
Nef

I don't want Ronnie to have emotional baggage all of his life
1:22 pm
Pinikula

but you were a good influence on them, scabs...hopefully they will have learned that much?
1:23 pm
Scrabbler

I have tried to help. Oldest moved in with me at 16. I wish all 3 had been here because I would have insisted on finishing HS for the last 2. Their parents did not!
1:24 pm
Pinikula

PD...not sure what you're asking there...
1:24 pm
Scrabbler

Pini's Dtr--the influence of of parenting is HUGE but if the parents are inadequate then kids need at least one stable, loving adult to guide them.
1:25 pm
Nef

Love the pic, Pini!
1:25 pm
Scrabbler

Kids need to learn respect (for oneself and others), responsibility, resilience, resourcefulness, reality...my R's
1:25 pm
Pinikula

thx nef...tried changing it, but the other was too big...will resize it later
1:26 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

my son and nephew are 8 weeks apart (mine being the younger). CamoCole has been developing ALOT faster than my nephew
1:26 pm
Pinikula

very true, PD...its like CamoBoy and the Turtle (no offense)
1:27 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I was worried that my working full time would make CC slower?
1:27 pm
Scrabbler

No TV/videogames. Reading, reading, reading!
1:27 pm
Pinikula

if that were they case, PD...you'd be slow!!!
1:27 pm
Nef

I agree with you Scrabs; but there's one more thing --how to handle money too!
1:28 pm
Pinikula

I agree with the video games for youngins
1:28 pm
Pinikula

i.e., don't do them
1:28 pm
Scrabbler

That's the reality part--needs vs wants, delaying gratification, budgets.
1:29 pm
Nef

I think that there are some video games for kids that are very good; but I'd never let a child play games more than maybe 10-15 minutes
1:29 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

CC's having a meltdown!
1:29 pm
Pinikula

I need to go thro Koda out for a few minutes and check on the weather to see how many clothing layers to don...
1:30 pm
Pinikula

PD, tell him Nonna's going to take him on a nice walk as he rides in a LIMO!!! :)
1:30 pm
Pinikula

brb
1:30 pm
Nef

DH and I were raised in poor families. I didn't think so at the time; but we never let the kids in on budget talks and helping with bill paying.
1:30 pm
stevedallas

one more and stuck se5?
1:31 pm
Scrabbler

And reality also means learning one's strengths and weaknesses. Kids can NOT be anything they want. They need to find their niche. Not every kid can become US president, a musician, an actor, a doctor, etc.
1:31 pm
Nef

sorry steve, I haven't listed yet and don't have a se 5 yet (but will look)
1:31 pm
Scrabbler

It makes me crazy when kids are told they can be anything they want. That's not realistic.
1:31 pm
stevedallas

thanks nef
1:33 pm
Scrabbler

Monkeys are looking, Steve.
1:33 pm
bethn

steve, try part of a line is a ***ment + not yes
1:33 pm
stevedallas

been monkeying for 10 minutes and still stuck
1:33 pm
Nef

I told my kids to follow their dreams and ambitions; whatever they do it takes work. So my son is QA supervisor of a huge video gaming company and works up to 16-18 hours a day during the crunch.
1:34 pm
Scrabbler

TY, Beth. I have seen that in past grids.
1:34 pm

many thanks Beth! Fireworks

1:45 pm

I'm hoping I don't look too dorky
1:45 pm
Pinikula

just don't make it pink sequins!
1:46 pm
Pinikula

can't imagine you doing that, bichon!
1:46 pm
jmcnrick

not camo!
1:46 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

I insist on camo!
1:46 pm
jmcnrick

no pink either or the guys wouldn't wear it

1:47 pm
Pinikula

GMTA, bichon
1:47 pm
jmcnrick

bright yellow shirts with letters sounds great!
1:47 pm
uusue2

I think so too, jmc!!
1:48 pm

we can put a peace sign on the chest logo ... like the izod alligator
1:48 pm

okay we will have to tell Dr God so he has something new to market
1:48 pm

can't imagine how one might object to it?

i wonder which letter most people would want
1:49 pm
Pinikula

glad to hear he's grounded again, PD
1:49 pm

1:51 pm
uusue2

how about a babble grid on the front and then everybody can have their own thing on the back (peace sign or whatever). So babblers all the same, but individuals too.
1:51 pm
jmcnrick

sorry it was molly not annie
1:51 pm
jmcnrick

which grid?
1:51 pm
Pinikula

now there's a thought, uu
1:52 pm
MollyL

I say a Babble grid and on each person's shirt, their name is in the grid.
1:52 pm
uusue2

one without obvious offensive words :-)
1:52 pm
Pinikula

a grid big enough to hold our nicknames in it! :)
1:52 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

Madre... has it been 10 minutes since I talked to you....I forgot to set the timer
1:52 pm
Pinikula

can you imagine?

2:42 pm
LeslieAnn

it's like boggle, make as many words as you can going any direction. just can't repeat tiles/letters.
2:43 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

thanks
2:43 pm
LeslieAnn

yw. under tile stats under the grid, it's how many words you have starting with that letter and how many words total start with that letter. So if you have R 0/2, it means you have two more words to find that start with R
2:44 pm
Pinikula's Dtr

word stats are length of words?
2:45 pm
LeslieAnn

yup

car.eeyore

Hey uusue, I put in a message about my current weight and height....and it posted to the group page, but was also on the page where I read everyone's updates. does that mean anyone I am friends with would see it? There are a few people I would rather not have know what I weigh!!!!
3:11 pm
MollyL

There is an old song called "Come On Down To My Boat Baby". In it is the line "I don't know her name she's the fisherman's daughter, uh, huh" Every time someone writes Pinikula's daughter, that song goes off in my head.
3:11 pm
car.eeyore

Hi Molly! I know that song!
3:12 pm

Good, you can sing along. : D

3:13 pm
MollyL

Speaking of Pinikula, which rhymes with Bunnicula, how is the new rabbit getting along?
3:13 pm
uusue2

hi, car, if you look on your page (not the group page) your post has a little lock next to it - that means only group members can see it. (I will double check this by looking on my partner's page to make sure my group posts don't show up there)
3:15 pm
MollyL

Car, I'm not in the group and I don't see anything on your page that you posted there. All is well.
3:16 pm
car.eeyore

Bunnicula is so awesome! Not as cuddly as I would like, but so sweet and entertaining!
3:16 pm
uusue2

also I posted my weight on it (something my partner doesn't know) and he hasn't said anything about it so I am pretty sure he didn't see it.
3:16 pm
car.eeyore

OK. Thank you Molly. I will put my stats back on the group page then.
3:17 pm
MollyL

By the way, I forgot to tell you, I have family in Marshfield.
3:18 pm
car.eeyore

Really?!?!? I was back in Marshfield today. I miss it. I miss my old life (well, parts anyway!) Ran into my next door neighbor too! We were so excited screaming and hugging and carrying on in the parking lot!
3:18 pm
MollyL

Sue, either that or he's just a very smart man.
3:18 pm
car.eeyore

OMG! LOL Molly!
3:18 pm

It sucks. At least the Dr. told her though...we didn't have to do it.
3:33 pm
car.eeyore

I am getting mad at some of the things she is saying as they are just not true, but there is no point in chiming in. I have to practice self control....
3:33 pm

They get used to it after a while. Well, my Mom did. My Dad didn't. The Alzheimer's was to blame for that.

I'm considering writing an article on the downfalls of internet communication. Pathological liars in particular. I've dealt with several over the years Administrating message boards. Scary stuff.
4:01 pm
Nef

Pini, she seems like a nice daughter. AND she knows you quite well too! :-)
4:01 pm
Pinikula

oh, gosh...what'd I miss????
4:02 pm
Nef

Molly, "Administrating message boards?" Now that does sound scarey!
4:02 pm
MollyL

No, it's just being the Admin on a message board to keep things in line.
4:03 pm

DH doesn't know what he's doing and got into a chat room in Yahoo. Someone (supposedly female) thought he sounded cute and wanted him to see her nude!

There are a lot of predators and creepy people on internet chat forums and message boards. Mostly people who aren't getting enough attention in real life, I think.
4:07 pm
MollyL

Little Miss Do You Want To See Me Naked? is a perfect example.
4:07 pm
Pinikula

I'm rather shocked (or not) that the offer was made on a first encounter!
4:08 pm
Nef

I'm going to have to close that chat area because he has no clue what's going on. I did tell him that that is a great way to get a virus on his computer
4:09 pm
Pinikula

excellent thinking! :)
4:09 pm
Nef

He asked why she wanted to chat with him and then described himself as old and slow, retired and unable to do much and that is when she wanted him to see her naked!
4:10 pm

I think I might be able to run a little before that.
4:13 pm
Pinikula

uh oh...what happened?
4:14 pm
redturtlehead

I have a congenital abnormality that is causing me pain and making me sort of mean...
4:14 pm

Red, what is the surgery that they will be doing?
4:14 pm

Nef, I do not know how you function without getting your hip repaired.
4:20 pm
Nef

red, I don't function a whole lot. Acupuncture really helps the pain though! Have you tried that?
4:22 pm
redturtlehead

No I have not tried accupuncture. the pain is fairly low on the pain scale. but it is really important for me to be able to walk and run, and the way the hip is shaped...I am headed for problems.

6:47 pm

that is a big school district!
6:48 pm

The number of teachers layed off is the equivelent to closing four schools.It is a major upset in the district

I'll bet, min! good grief!
6:49 pm

Nope,thank goodness I was not one of them,however the other ESL teacher was.We lost all 3 reading staff.

There were 18 people in my building who got pink slips

They eliminated the who Pre-Kindergarten programs which is also useless too right uusue2? So, so terrible!

There were teachers who had been working for 9-10 years and STILL got laid off. Tenure didn't matter. It went by senority. Unfortunately, teachers who took time off to be with their child after having a baby.So they were punished for wanting to be with their kids.
6:57 pm

Congratulations wht on your fireworks! Good for you
6:57 pm

The thing with my district is that it is run by politics.
7:01 pm

mostdistricts are run by politics. It is sad. when the kids get angry about the stupid stuff they have to learn I remind them that is is our government that tells theteachers what they have to teach

darn kids!
7:13 pm
Bugsaw

I tried to plan for that before I let my kids drive. I figured out how much more it would cost me to insure it if they had an accident and then had the boy hand over that amount of money for me to save in the bank. If my rates went up, I was covered. If not, they got the money back.
7:14 pm

good thinking, bugsaw! I hadn't really realized how much small accidents were going to cost me :-(
7:14 pm

Just checked my yahoo e-mail and it says that I have mail that was sent on Sunday, May 15th. Does Yahoo have ESP & knows that ahead of time that I am going to get mail on Sunday morning&Sunday night?Hmmm...

Hello Dorens! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
8:11 pm
Dorens

i'm fine min, how are you and what happened? thought you were a teacher (with tenure)?
8:13 pm
Minveryork

Fortunately,I did not get laid off, but 18 others were in my building.It did not matter if you have tenure or not. It went by a senority list. Teachers who've been teaching for 9-10 years STILL got laid off. It's so sad!
8:16 pm
Dorens

Oh, I completely understand. Last year I lost my job and I had 20 years... But, if you weren't laid off, may I ask why are you looking for jobs?
8:18 pm
Minveryork

Oh, I thought you were reading back in chog where I wrote about the layoffs.I am looking for a summer job
8:19 pm
Dorens

oh,then I understand! glad you weren't laid off... congratulations
8:19 pm
Minveryork

Because of budget cuts, there is no summer school. I have always taught summer school, but not this year.
8:20 pm
Dorens

I'm hoping somehow they will find some money for the schools, we had a very bad year here in NJ but things are looking much better for next year
8:21 pm

Superintendent is saying that more employees will be laid off next year. They eliminated the Pre-K program

After finding all the words with ea 4/4, I finished the grid so here is my story of clues.My school district is facing a huge budget gap, er 4/6, 700+ teachers got laid off in my ar 4/4. They are go 4/6, just like that! The news of the layoffs just made me want to he4/5. Other employees in the district were let go also, but they ho4/5ed in on the teachers.My superintendent, whose name is Ro 5/14, is my no7/32.Superintendent is also warning us to be4/8 of more layoffs next year It'll be difficult for teachers who got laid off to find a job that pays more than minimum wa 4/10. No 4/4 of the parents seem to care about these layoffs either. Fortunately, I was not a go 5/14. I feel ho 5/12ed to still have my job. Aa5/16! Hubby is ea5/14 to use the computer. I think that my husband wants to en 6/30 in some Farmville activities. Better let him use laptop before he goes into a ra4/6. I put story in my profile for those who may need to re5/10 it again. I'm going to go do something el4/4 like listen to my Ae4/4smith CD.I will be back later to help out with clues if needed

oh I know crossy!!! My hubby's a restaurant manager!
9:01 pm
m9f9l

i interviewed a guy once when I managed Black & Decker retail outlet... I asked about some experiences and got him to tell me that he had unleashed some foul language at the McD's customer that had taken out the burger patty and threw it at him....
9:03 pm
m9f9l

He said that happened sometimes when he didn't take his meds.. "how often do you not take your meds?" "oh once in a blue moon"... "and just what do you mean by once in a blue moon?? twice a year? Once a year???" "oh... maybe every two weeks"
9:04 pm
jesdraggon

does he not understand that "once in a blue moon" cannot, by definition, be that frequently?
9:05 pm
jesdraggon

i'm gonna guess you didn't hire him?
9:06 pm
m9f9l

yeah... every two to three years more like it!
9:06 pm
m9f9l

he DID fill up my gas tank about a week or two later.
9:07 pm
BzznBea

clue for le7, please?
9:08 pm
jesdraggon

well, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. so you cannot possibly have them any more often than 8 weeks apart... and that theoretical rate is way more frequent than reality. even setting aside the part where you don't want to hire somoene so unstable and irresponsible as to forget his "meds" every couple weeks, i wouldn't be able to work sanely with someone who translated "once in a blue moon" to mean "every couple weeks". I'd be homicidal by the end of the first week.
9:09 pm
m9f9l

best interview ever: after a sentence or two... "Just so you know... we DO require a drug test by an independent company".."uh.. I probably won't pass that... but it's just some recreational weed.. I don't get high at work or anything.. so that's ok right?" "sorry. No.. But thank you SO much for being up front and saving us AND yourself some time"
9:10 pm
m9f9l

actually it's the fourth full moon in a season.. which usually have three?
9:11 pm
m9f9l

and it's not that extra fourth... in the case of 4 full moons in a season.. it's the third one that's called the "blue moon"
9:11 pm

jesdraggon

looks like there are a couple different definitions (says wiki, which, as we all know, is a perfect source...). either way, WAY more infrequent than every couple weeks!

any clue for la7?
9:16 pm
crosshair

i like the resumes,to be short direct and list experience without filling the thing full of buzz words like "self-starter" "motivated individual" or 'customer oriented"...do not blow smoke up my butt. 1/4 of your interview is the resume,the rest is "SHOW ME"
9:16 pm
jesdraggon

i don't think you can have an la7, unless i'm missing something... the l isn't next to the a...
9:16 pm
BzznBea

sorry le7
9:17 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i like resumes, crossy, because i am an evil evil person. i enjoy proofreading them. it always astounds me how few people seem to think it's important to actually spell correctly in a resume.
9:18 pm

le7 is a straw hat or a white fowl, think of cartoon character Fogh/4 L7/40.

guess it depends on what you're hiring for. details MATTER in medicine. I am not going to be impressed by someone who manages to put a typo in the phrase "detail oriented"

9:35 pm

he's a crack-up. follows me around begging for food.
9:36 pm
Jacula

The worst roosters are bantams.
9:37 pm
Jacula

They can't crow properly and keep on for hours! A proper rooster crows 3 - 4 times and then shuts up.
9:38 pm
Minveryork

Wish husband would shut up after speaking 3-4 words
9:38 pm
Jacula

Min - LOL!
9:38 pm
Jacula

Maybe he's a bantam?
9:41 pm
Jacula

Little roosters are like little men; always trying to prove themselves. Big roosters, like big men, don't have to to.
9:43 pm
Jacula

It doesn't seem to work the same way with females. Big females often have less self-confidence than small ones.
9:44 pm
Jacula

I'm talking height rather than width, but it can work that way, too.
9:44 pm
jesdraggon

i've heard that a lot, jac, but haven't found it to hold up in actuality. i know many large men who are overbearing, insecure, or just plain asses, and many short/slender men who are quiet and laid back. in about equal proportions to the opposites.
9:45 pm

9:45 pm

i think that may be one of those things were people see what they expect to see, and remember the individuals that fit the frame they set up in advance more than it is true.
9:46 pm
Jacula

Maybe so, Jess. Each of us can only speak from our own experience.
9:47 pm
Jacula

Anyone need any more word clues before I wander off again?
9:47 pm

i've also, for what it's worth, known more mean large roosters than mean small ones.
