1:09 am
jillibus
oops -- thought I had nbt but I don't -- need the upper left N -- nu4/5 I guess
1:09 am
melonheadjujube
the cryptic part is that the clue is hidden in the answer, either spread amongst several words or as an anagram, for example. I love cryptic crosswords.
1:10 am
jillibus
yes, I know, flosey but I can't find it
1:10 am
VolleymomDee
n + what you do to make hair look like Shirley Temple minus the fist consonant

1:19 am
flosey
we have done that, jilli - stuff from his Mom's and also sister's - not stuff that I can toss
1:19 am
jillibus
It's the thought of lugging all the STUFF to recycle etc that I find daunting. I have a ton of papers to get rid of -- very heavy lugging.
1:20 am
flosey
yes, carloads!
1:21 am
jillibus
And the thought of a garage sale is a mega turnoff.

1:30 am
jillibus
rah rah for ruru!
1:30 am
sprite
don't know the details, flosey, but from own experience I know that finally giving in to taking pain meds can be a very wise decision. It will save you loads of energy, for one thing.
1:30 am
melonheadjujube
all 6s except the blasted ad6/24. I'm not asking for clues, can't believe i haven't found it via math.
1:31 am
melonheadjujube
I deal with chronic pain, and suffer far more fatigue if I am under-medicated than I do sedation when I'm adequately medicated.
1:31 am

1:33 am
melonheadjujube
I did get ad 6/21 handily.
1:34 am
flosey
me too melon, but had to ask for a clue for the other
1:34 am
jillibus
I think so, melon, but IMHO it shouldn't be allowed
1:34 am
melonheadjujube
hmmm
1:35 am
jillibus
Oh sorry -- I was referring to ad6/21 and you want 6/24, whcih was odd to me.
1:35 am
sprite
I think it is perfectly normal?
1:35 am
melonheadjujube
I wondered. ad6/21 can be a generic reference to that type.
1:35 am
jillibus
dee gave a clue for it or I wouldn't have found it
1:36 am
melonheadjujube
just tell me, are the 1st three the same as ad 6/21?
1:36 am
jillibus
no, melon
1:36 am

melonheadjujube
well, loll is certainly a word, and a wonderful one at that. We all need loll tme.
1:46 am
sprite
yes... I guess that is why I use it often. It means 'fun' to me, and not so much laughing out loud.
1:47 am

I love to LOL though! I agree, melon, it is healthy.

That's not a clue, just heading to bed. Any more? I do have fun coming up with them!
1:58 am
jillibus
Sprite, do you have as5/10? If so, I'm blind to it and could use help
1:59 am
sprite
I don't, but I won't be angry if melon clues it for you :)
1:59 am
melonheadjujube
If you trip up the stairs, everyone will be as5/10.
1:59 am
jillibus
Don't want to spoil your fun, sprite
2:00 am
sprite
one or two clues will never do that, jilli. Just whole lists of them!
2:00 am
melonheadjujube
Better: If you trip up the stair, everyone will be as5/10.
2:02 am
jillibus
ok, sprite :-)

hi ruby....grey and rainy here in uk, how's it with you?
2:53 am
rubyfoo
very windy, distant thunder, rain off and on, but not cold
2:54 am
rubyfoo
the thunder is making my dogs crazy
2:55 am
rubyfoo
did you have a drought before?
2:55 am
zoom
mmm.....my dog used to shake and shake and just couldn't be comforted
2:56 am
rubyfoo
that's how my Ruby is
2:56 am
rubyfoo
I guess they hear more thunder than we do
2:57 am
zoom
oh dear:( it's really awful to see them like that. what sort of dof is she?
2:57 am
rubyfoo
we have two chow chows. The black one (pictured) is Max
2:58 am
rubyfoo
Ruby is shaded blonde, very beautiful
2:58 am
rubyfoo
do you currently have a dog?
2:58 am
rubyfoo
aah, it's pouring again!
2:59 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, doorbell
2:59 am
rubyfoo
ee you later
3:00 am

max is very handsome and ruby sounds lovely. no, we lost our labrador last year. we were lucky to have him for 15 years and there's a big hole in our family where he should be
3:01 am
rubyfoo
that was just a "dog bell", false alarm
3:01 am
rubyfoo
15 years is excellent for such a big dog. I can imagine the horrible hole in the family! Now, we always have two
3:06 am

oops my doorbell now...good luck with the babbling:)
3:08 am
uusue2
morning, all! can't sleep...
3:09 am
rubyfoo
{{sue}} what is the news?
3:10 am
uusue2
don't know if you saw all the drama from yesterday...
3:10 am
rubyfoo
yes, I was here
3:10 am
rubyfoo
and was thinking about it all evening
3:11 am
uusue2
ah. well, the kid is out on bail, we see a lawyer tomorrow, he is physically ok but psychologically a mess as are we all.
3:12 am
rubyfoo
I hope the girl is still locked up
3:12 am
uusue2
nope, she's out too
3:12 am
mrpresident
hi all :))
3:12 am
rubyfoo
are you able to keep them apart, not even phone calls?
3:12 am
mrpresident
another screwed up grid yesterday... only put in one words!! LOL!!
3:12 am
uusue2
and she wasn't charged with assault, just with alcohol possession
3:13 am
uusue2
ruby, I am doing my best - he is under a court order to have no contact with her
3:13 am
rubyfoo
that is crazy, sue!
3:13 am
uusue2
hi, mrp, welcome to my mess :-(
3:13 am
rubyfoo
what does your lawyer say or is he waiting to meet with both of you?
3:14 am
uusue2
but she is texting him nonstop - his phone is here, charging, and another text just came in
3:14 am
mrpresident
what the heck usue???
3:14 am
mrpresident
what is happening??
3:14 am
uusue2
we haven't seen him yet at all
3:14 am
rubyfoo
can you take away the phone?
3:14 am
rubyfoo
unplug the charger?
3:15 am
rubyfoo
DH will be back in a minute, but I'll be back after I unpack the groceries
3:15 am
uusue2
mrp, my son was assaulted by his girlfriend last night - she tried to strangle him (to the point where he was losing consciousness) - he screamed for help and the police came and arrested him for domestic battery
3:15 am
uusue2
I may do, ruby
3:15 am
mrpresident
you are KIDDING!!!
3:16 am
rubyfoo
I think he has lost his right to a phone and access to a car, at least for now, until he gets some treatment and the girl is out of the picture
3:16 am
mrpresident
far out!!! that is appalling!! I can't believe that little b*&*^! touched him!!
3:16 am
uusue2
she claimed that he had pulled her out of the car by her hair (which he did not) so even though he is the one with all the bruises and cuts he's also the one with the charges pending against him
3:16 am
rubyfoo
it seems like this is the time to get really tough with him
3:16 am
uusue2
she also trashed the inside of the car (MY car)
3:17 am
uusue2
you are right, ruby, although he is so fragile emotionally I don't want to push him too hard
3:17 am
mrpresident
the evidence will speak for itself usue... make sure you have pictures of everything done
3:17 am
rubyfoo
DH has arrived
3:17 am
mrpresident
including his injuries
3:17 am
uusue2
yes, mrp, and I took him to the doctor so there is a medical report on him as well, and the police took pictures too
3:17 am
mrpresident
where they drinking when they got into this 'argument'??
3:18 am
Jivingjenny0
uusue I am sorry to hear about your trouble. It makes you wonder what the world is coming to.
3:19 am
uusue2
they sure were, mrp
3:19 am
uusue2
thx, jenny, it is a mess
3:20 am
Jivingjenny0
My grandson aged 11 was kicked in the head - deliberately - by a 10 yr old hard enough to give him severe concusion. Now a lot of the kids in the village wont play with my grandson because the police asked them for a statement about what happened!
3:20 am
uusue2
oh, jenny, that is awful!!!
3:20 am
mrpresident
jenny... so friggin typical of ignorant parents
3:21 am
mrpresident
i am sorry for you and your grandson
3:21 am
mrpresident
usue, time to intervene!!
3:21 am
mrpresident
No phone, no car, no nothing until he can own up to his behaviour in the whole incident... driving whilst drunk?? no way
3:22 am
uusue2
I agree, mrp!
3:22 am
mrpresident
the little biyatch needs to go to court
3:23 am
mrpresident
violence like that is totally unacceptable and has to be cropped immediately
3:23 am
uusue2
well, she will, on the alcohol charge
3:23 am
Jivingjenny0
It was such a shame as this time Adam was completely innocent - he some behavioural problems and so is often in trouble, but this time the attack was quite unprovoked
3:23 am
uusue2
and when we talk to the lawyer we will see about doing something about the property damage
3:23 am
mrpresident
did they arrest her for disarray or assult or alcohol consumption???
3:24 am
uusue2
oh, jenny, that is really sad :-(
3:24 am
uusue2
alcohol consumption as a minor
3:24 am
mrpresident
get damages for sure
3:24 am
uusue2
and mrp, I haven't seen you since your own court date - what is up?
3:25 am
Jivingjenny0
After the boy had the caution, he was found crying in the street because he didn't know where his mother was!! down the pub at 7.00pm. No wonder he is like he is.
3:25 am
mrpresident
take pictures of all the damage, and get the money
3:25 am
mrpresident
my court date was a shite!!
3:26 am
uusue2
oh, mrp, how so??
3:29 am
mrpresident
what type of lawyer says to the psycho, pyromaniac, stalker Prick... 'let's go for the jugular!'
3:32 am
mrpresident
I updated the profile sue... the info from yesterday's case is in there now
3:41 am
mrpresident
that is sad sad stuff jenny
3:43 am
mrpresident

3:46 am
uusue2
ok, got it, mrp - sorry for absence, kid came weeping out of his room - he is ok now
3:47 am
uusue2
but this is SO hard on him...
3:49 am
mrpresident
poor child!
3:49 am
uusue2
we are on babble time so it is really 3 am here...
3:49 am
mrpresident

3:49 am
uusue2
he has class in the morning, missed a quiz yesterday and will have to explain to his professor that he was in jail...
3:50 am
mrpresident
3am is too late to go to sleep... you could get a snooze in and then have a siesta in the arvo??
3:51 am
uusue2
probably - I don't have anything on my calendar for the day anyway (although I do have to read a masters thesis for a defense on Thursday)
3:53 am

hey mrP, glad you didn't go for the mediating. Protect yourself. I hope things work out.
4:04 am
uusue2
well, you should be nice and calm, mrp :-)
4:05 am
mrpresident
thanks sprite, I just thought it would be a total waste of time... he was furious I turned up and said no to mediation. And even more furious that the whole court (open court... lot's of local people there) heard my side of the story about him
4:05 am
sprite
Your anxiety will eat up most of the sedating effect, don't worry
4:05 am
mrpresident
oh good!
4:05 am
sprite
very good. The jerk needs to be pegged down seriously.
4:06 am
uusue2

Good morning all
8:14 am
Anniebrook
Hi sue.. :)
8:14 am
stidmama
LOL so I am, sue -- almost makes up for the yucky med side effect of the day. SO glad yesterday was the last dose! LOL
8:15 am
uusue2
oh, thank goodness, stid!
8:16 am
stidmama
yep. I think prednisone is not a lot of fun -- going to have to skip my morning playing with 5th graders and go in the afternoon instead.
8:16 am
uusue2
those corticosteroids can be really dangerous, although if you need them they can be lifesavers too...
8:18 am
stidmama
I really did need it. Also apparently really need the inhaler *sigh* was hoping I didn't -- but when I skip a dose of that I really notice.
8:18 am
periwinkle
why do you need the inhaler, stid. do you have asthma?
8:19 am
stidmama
the doc called it "reactive airway" but I think it's actually asthma, since as I look back on my life I see other times this has happened. Just not so spectacularly or inconveniently.
8:20 am
herinfernallady
O Stid
8:20 am
stidmama
yes, O lady? *grin*
8:21 am
uusue2
indeed, prednisone can be a lifesaver!
8:21 am
periwinkle
39 left and stuck, bl
8:21 am
stidmama
the blessings: end of the school year, after the teaching certification has been awarded, I have a loving and understanding family, and I have all summer to recover and figure out how to work with this new predicament.
8:21 am
stidmama
later peri! (((hugs)))
8:22 am
uusue2
bye, peri!
8:23 am
stidmama
how's your son today sue? I dreamt about you last night.
8:25 am
uusue2
he's doing ok, stid, but the realities are starting to sink in. he came out of his room weeping at about 3:30 this morning (I was up because I couldn't sleep).
8:25 am
uusue2
I really need to get him into counseling, and will be doing that today.
8:25 am
stidmama
I am so sorry.
8:26 am
stidmama
Yes, counseling -- and remind him that many people are falsely accused, that it is NOT his fault she is abusive ... you know all this ((hug))
8:27 am
uusue2
I know, and keep telling him, but the reality is that even though the charges are false he may still be convicted, and he is really scared about that.
8:28 am
stidmama
he may. and if he is, it will be very awful for a while. But you have brought up a strong, intelligent young man (though at the moment he might not feel so) and he WILL get through this and come out the other side with wisdom and grace.
8:28 am
herinfernallady
Sue I may have missed things but the truth has a habit of biting people on the arse
8:28 am
uusue2
aww, stid, you are so sweet :-) and it is all so hard...
8:29 am
stidmama
he can counter-sue for defamation of character and other things, I suspect -- a lawyer will be best placed to suggest how to proceed.
8:30 am
uusue2
I'd like to countersue just for damages to my house and car, but she's basically judgement-proof (no assets)
8:30 am
stidmama
sue, sue anyway!!! it's not the recovery of damages that is important, but the official record that this woman has in fact damaged property of other people in advance of this accusation
8:31 am
stidmama
at the very least, filing charges and pursuing at this time might give her lawyer (if one exists) pause
8:31 am
uusue2
Indeed. We see the lawyer tomorrow. And I had called him before all this happened asking about an order of protection from her.
8:31 am
stidmama
good idea.
8:31 am
MollyL
I agree with Stid. Ask your lawyer what he thinks about counter suing.
8:32 am
uusue2
She does not and probably will not have a lawyer (she was also arrested, but for alcohol possession as a minor; her mom bailed her out but she'll be appointed a court attorney)
8:32 am
herinfernallady
The best option is to keep a diary. This is evidence in court. Including having receipts too. Like 25 Jan 2011 - 955pm harrasing phone call. Receipt Spent $35 on replacing window broken by X
8:32 am
MollyL
Sue, has he ever been arrested or convicted of anything before?
8:32 am
uusue2
I had already started that, herin (and the date stamps on my computer will prove it).
8:33 am
stidmama
yes, and record (and keep) any and all facebook or other attempts to communicate with your son
8:33 am
uusue2
my son was arrested when he was 16 because he and some friends were on the roof of the elementary school; he was convicted of trespassing and had to pay $1500. it was supposed to be expunged but we'll have to check with the lawyer about that too.
8:33 am
herinfernallady
You can also print out emails too.
8:34 am
herinfernallady
Seriously that at 16 would be best saying yes at 15 I was a total dick and be honest
8:34 am
uusue2
yes, he's keeping the texts and facebook messages
8:34 am
MollyL
I think, as long as he has no priors with assault he has a good chance of pleading down. Again, your attorney will know.
8:35 am
uusue2
well, and SHE has a prior assault arrest (by her father no less)
8:36 am
herinfernallady
The courts favour honesty
8:36 am
MollyL
I think once this gets in the hands of an attorney and a judge, it will be made clear who is the problem child in these circumstances. And it's not your son Sue.
8:37 am
uusue2
and by the way I can vouch for the sturdiness of Toyota interiors - she was kicking the inside of my car as hard as she could and only managed to knock off the cup holders and the CD player cover (and displace the interior door panel). But the dashboard instrumentation is fine, thank goodness.
8:37 am
uusue2
Well, I hope so, molly, I'd like to see the charges against him completely dropped. He is the victim here, not her.
8:37 am
stidmama
I wouldn't plead ANYTHING just yet -- see what the lawyer has to say. It is not uncommon in DV cases for the actual perpetrator to accuse the survivor; such things often come out in court and the decision is clearly against the real perpetrator. In other words, stay hopeful.
8:38 am
uusue2
absolutely, stid; he's not due back in court until the 15th of July so there is plenty of time
8:38 am
MollyL
I am hopeful that all the will come of this is a lesson the hard way for the boy. I hate seeing him up on charges for something he didn't do.
8:38 am
sallyds
She sounds like a kid with real psychiatric problems.
8:39 am
uusue2
she is, sally, and I hope she gets help too. I feel sorry for her (as does my son which is partly why he stayed involved with her so long)
8:39 am
stidmama
however, if he comes out of this alive, and knows what to avoid in the future, it will be a good thing. So many people think DV is a joke and let it go until it's too late to save anyone. Best case would be that he is exonerated and she gets the psychiatric help needed.
8:40 am
sallyds
Does her family really not see she needs help?
8:40 am
uusue2
Indeed, stid. I just hope he doesn't become bitter; mostly what he's guilty of here is being too nice (forgiving her, wanting to help her - he was with her in the first place because she told him she was scared to walk home in the dark alone)
8:41 am
uusue2
they do, sally, but they've lost control of her. they've had her in counseling but then she quits. and her parents are divorced, neither one has health care coverage, so money is an issue.
8:42 am
sallyds
Oh dear. Not much hope for her then.
8:42 am
jmcnrick
hi all here for a minute
8:42 am
stidmama
the long-term issues she has may be all the proof you need, sue, that her accusations are false and she is in need of supervision.
8:42 am
uusue2
anyway, I have to go get dressed and get him to class; he's going to have to show his arrest papers to his professor in order to make up the work he missed yesterday. not a fun prospect for him.
8:43 am
stidmama
(((sue))) hang in there. I hope that he will be okay. I hope that you will be okay, too.
8:43 am
stidmama
you are both in my heart.
8:43 am
uusue2
thx - and now I really must be off -
8:43 am
jmcnrick
get a good criminal attorney for him and it will be worth the cost--my son was wrongfully charged once and the attorney got his charge dropped faster than my son could walk to the front of the courtroom
8:44 am
herinfernallady
By UU hi JM
8:45 am
MollyL
Good advice JMC. I know someone who was in similar circumstances and found a great attorney who looked at his case and gave him a pretty decent "package cost" for the whole thing. Because he found a good attorney, his case came out favorable to him.
8:46 am
jmcnrick
you need someone who is local and known to the prosecutors and the judges
8:46 am
MollyL
And the cops. Sue said one of the arresting officers was sympathetic to her son. That will help, I think.
8:47 am
jmcnrick
that helps too
8:47 am
jmcnrick
okay i was just breezing through before i left for the office
8:47 am
MollyL
Have a good day JMC
8:48 am
stidmama

Looking at this grid, it's really hard to believe there's a 8 and a 9. I feel the urge to rearrange the vowels.
9:00 am
BzznBea
The 8 and 9 are not that difficult.
9:01 am
Judi
Thank you for reinforcing my feelings of inadequacy, Bea! :-p
9:02 am
Anniebrook
the 9 is the plural of the 8....a group of people who belong to a guild
9:03 am
doseffing
you'll find the correct first letter ... then the 5 letter is almost automatic ... the 8 is off the 5 ... the 9 is plural ... easy ... just find the first letter ...

Should Frank be worried Sue? About George I mean.

nope :-) we have a rich fantasy life :-)
12:45 pm
uusue2
apparently one of the bazillion texts son's gf has sent since yesterday was one asking if she could get the charges dropped (one might hope that she is waking up to the realities of perjury but I suspect she just wants him back) - I told him not to respond, of course, but we will take it up with the lawyer
12:46 pm
uusue2
if he starts talking to her again after the 72-hour restraining order against him is up I am going to be VERY CROSS
12:47 pm
crosshair
"indeed,this is the time to make a clean break and move on
12:48 pm

1:02 pm
MollyL
Sue I don't think girlfriend can drop charges that the cops pressed.
1:02 pm
Mama2boys
1 more!
1:03 pm
uusue2
wrong flavored rice, molly :-)
1:03 pm
MollyL
But I would take that as a sign that now that she's the cause of him being arrested, she's terrified of losing him.
1:03 pm
uusue2
and I don't think she can either but if she goes back and retracts her statement that he pulled her out of the car by her hair, there's no case so they probably wouldn't prosecute
1:04 pm
uusue2
exactly, molly, and I can just see him getting sucked in again
1:05 pm
MollyL
Lord, I hope not. If there is the slightest shred of that left in him, he needs to be de-programmed.
1:05 pm
Mama2boys
fireworks!!!
1:05 pm

Yay Mama!!!

I think we are all hit or miss today. It's my day to purge the office of old files and junk, so I have been hauling trash bags and recycling bags most of the day.
1:37 pm

ah. and I am reading a masters thesis and getting ready for a talk I am giving next week, and dealing with my son.
1:38 pm

We need t-shirts that say BUSY WOMEN WHO BABBLE ON THE SIDE. It would make people wonder. : D

2:13 pm

ned a clue for AD 6/24
2:13 pm
jan
Thanks, sue. It shouldn't be too grueling--I only have 12 minutes! (In fact, getting what ought to be thirty minutes down to twelve is the challenge)
2:14 pm
uusue2
that is tough, jan (and listening to a series of 12-minute talks is tough too...)
2:14 pm
jan
Next month I get to do a plenary and luxuriate in forty five minutes for a presentation!
2:14 pm
uusue2
jin, I have an ad6/21 and an an6/24 but that's it
2:14 pm
uusue2
nice, jan!! congratulations on the plenary!!!
2:15 pm
jan
Listening to a set of twelve minute talks is like reading the Cliff notes to a novel--it's just a taste, really.
2:15 pm
Jindigo
ill take a clue for an 6/24 becuasue i need that too
2:16 pm
Kazzer99
ad 6/24 grammar term - ad plus Karen is a proper ****
2:16 pm
uusue2
wow, kazz, that's a new one to me!
2:16 pm
Kazzer99
was on me till i monkeyed it
2:16 pm
Jindigo
oh - thank you Kazz
2:17 pm
uusue2
jin, an6/24 is like an electrical terminal but turned into an adjective
2:17 pm
uusue2
an + **e on a grecian urn + most of frozen water
2:19 pm
jan
Thanks for clues, Kazzer and Sue. And it's off the to the breakout room...maybe back later.
2:20 pm

Thank you Jan and uusue.

hi all I am back for a while. My husband left to go to a wedding out of town - he'll be back late and my son, who was misbehaving all day finally went to bed!
2:25 pm
uusue2
hi, mich! Don't get me started on the subject of misbehaving sons (but I'm glad yours is in bed!)
2:26 pm
jmcnrick
*settles down for a looooong conversation about misbehaving sons*
2:26 pm
Michnick
Yeh, where he belongs. I popped in yesterday for a short while and I understand yours put you through something!! How are you doing.
2:26 pm
uusue2
I am ok, mich, and he is doing ok as well. thx!
2:26 pm
uusue2
and jmc, I will try not to be boring :-)
2:26 pm
Michnick
And is the GF out of the scene for a while
2:27 pm
uusue2
nope, she's been texting him almost constantly (and he is not replying due to the restraining order against him)
2:28 pm
Michnick
OY! What a situation!
2:28 pm
MollyL
That is going to unnerve her big time Sue. There is nothing worse, for one who craves attention, to get nothing in return.
2:29 pm
uusue2
Yes, we are going to have to be very careful, especially when the order expires
2:29 pm
Michnick
How long is it for?
2:30 pm
uusue2
72 hours, about 48 of which are left now
2:30 pm
Michnick
Just long enough to really get her bugged.
2:32 pm
Kazzer99
who got the restraining order out on him? her parents or herself?
2:32 pm
uusue2
and in case this is too boring, I offer you the title of the MS thesis I am reading (being defended tomorrow; I am on the committee): Physics Validation Studies for Muon Collider Detector Background Simulations
2:32 pm
Michnick
How weird I was just going to say that! ;-))
2:33 pm
uusue2
the police, kazz, they charged him with domestic battery after she tried to strangle him
2:33 pm
Kazzer99
err shouldnt that be the toehr way round
2:34 pm
Michnick
Natch - Dontcha know it's always the guy's fault. After years of women screaming that they are victims of abuse and not its cause the pendulum has swung too far the other way!!
2:34 pm
uusue2
it should, kazz, but she lied to the police when they came - he has all the injuries but no matter
2:35 pm
Kazzer99
well i would get one out against her
2:35 pm
uusue2
we can't until this one expires, the law doesn't allow mutual orders of protection
2:35 pm
Kazzer99
its a bit betterhere trouble is men dont like to admit it when they are the victims though
2:36 pm
Michnick
Be at the station at the end of 72 hours with all the text msgs. Harrasment, stalking, etc etc
2:36 pm
uusue2
we'll be at lawyer tomorrow (before order expires) with all of it and will go from there
2:36 pm
uusue2
including the messages she's sent him today offering to change her story (!)
2:37 pm
Michnick
Good luck, I am praying for you. Keep every text msg!!
2:37 pm
Kazzer99
bye the bye the like your thesis you are defeding - it sounds really interesting
2:38 pm
Michnick
Sounds intersting? I didn't even understand the title!
2:38 pm
uusue2
I'm not defending it, kazz, I'm on the student's committee so I have to read and critique it
2:39 pm
Kazzer99
ooh that's even better - like a bit of quantum every now and again
2:40 pm
Kazzer99
you dont need it much in meteorolgy but i have done a single unit on it in my ou degree
2:40 pm
uusue2
even though I was added to the committee at the last minute (didn't work with the student) it turns out I know quite a bit about the subject (simulation of background radiation at high-energy physics experiments) having spent most of the 1990s doing exactly that
2:41 pm
uusue2
ou degree?
2:41 pm
Kazzer99
Open University
2:41 pm
uusue2
ah. nice. I get some meteorology majors in my calculus-based physics course.
2:42 pm
Michnick
Now that you explain it a bit, it does sound interesting. I am sorry I didn't study some physics. I got all A's in calculus but did poorly in Chemistry so the school didn't allow me to take physics.
2:42 pm
Michnick
many many many moons a go
2:44 pm
uusue2
ah - it's required for our meteorology majors
2:44 pm
Kazzer99
well - i did want to go to uni when i left school but mum and dad couldnt afford it so i went to work and then started a dgrees when i was quite old - i am still doing it
2:44 pm
uusue2
oh, nice, kazz! I always like to see older students - they tend to be much more focused :-)
2:46 pm
Kazzer99
well - i try to be but it will be better from september with the partial retirement - i wil have a day a week to do my stuff
2:46 pm
Michnick
Can I ask how old you are? I also went to Uni. late-ish but stopped in the middle. Sidetracked by life, marriage, 7 kids, etc. Going back in Sept to finish.
2:46 pm
uusue2
partial retirement *swoons in envy*
2:48 pm
Kazzer99
i am 53 and quite proud of it - i have done most things in life at odd times - had my son when i was 20, got married when i was 41
2:48 pm
Kazzer99
Partial retirement sounds good but i will still be going to work 4 days a week but only working 7 hours a day
2:49 pm
Michnick
Good for you! I will be 51 in August, not so far from you.

i wish my mother was alive and i could ask her if she had ever heard of it--she had a masters in english

Hi Sue, things better today?

gf has been texting my son nonstop, so I signed up for parental controls on his phone and blocked her number - now they can't text or call each other. Yay!!
4:48 pm
uusue2
but as soon as she figured that out she started texting him from her facebook account, which I can't block as it's not a phone number. I told him to block her on facebook. Sigh.
4:49 pm
MollyL
Good for you Sue! JMC...to turn off auto updates...
http://tinyurl.com/pus5c
4:49 pm
jmcnrick
bummer no parental control on the computer?
4:50 pm
jmcnrick
ty molly since i had to start all over again because the silly virus ate my computer . . . . .
4:51 pm
MollyL
Sue, don't you share a computer with your son? You can block his access to Facebook.
4:52 pm
MollyL
And if this girl won't stop, I would strongly suggest that you close out his cell phone and get another with a number she does not know.
4:53 pm
jmcnrick
ty molly
4:55 pm
jmcnrick
*puts hammer away*
4:55 pm
uusue2
no, molly, he has his own computer
4:58 pm
uusue2
and bummer on the computer virus, jmc!!
4:59 pm
MollyL
Well, if he has unrestricted access to a computer and a cell phone, she will find a way to get in touch with him. He either ignores her or he doesn't.
5:00 pm
uusue2
right, and he's ignoring her now but she is making it as difficult as possible
5:00 pm
uusue2
we are going to talk to the lawyer tomorrow about what we can do about the harassment
5:01 pm
bichon
Does your son think it's harassment? Where is his head?
5:01 pm
MollyL
That's the best thing to do Sue.
5:02 pm
uusue2
he is extremely annoyed and upset with her right now and just wants her to stop
5:02 pm
MollyL
But she won't stop. Her behavior has proven that.
5:02 pm
bichon
He has it in his power to do that
5:03 pm
bichon
All he has to do is ignore her
5:03 pm
uusue2
I know that, and him telling her to stop will just egg her on. What we need is a court order.
5:04 pm
bichon
How about a wall of silence
5:04 pm
MollyL
Well, before that happens, he needs to block her on Facebook and block her number from his cell phone.
5:04 pm
uusue2
he's been ignoring her all day and it's just getting worse - I suppose she will eventually quit but it will take a LONG time
5:05 pm
bichon
Can't her parents control her.
5:05 pm
uusue2
well, I've taken care of the phone and he has, I hope, taken care of Facebook. but things are so connected now it's hard to plug all the holes
5:05 pm
uusue2
they cannot, bichon
5:05 pm
uusue2
I can send text messages to his phone from my Yahoo email account, for example, and I don't know how to block that
5:05 pm
bichon
If it were my child, I'd put her in rehab
5:06 pm
uusue2
she belongs there, bichon, but her parents are divorced and neither has insurance so cost is an issue
5:06 pm
MollyL
Sue, maybe call his cell phone provider, explain the circumstances and see if they can help you block her access to him.
5:06 pm
bichon
they have enough money for a cell phone and a computer
5:09 pm
uusue2
I did that, molly, and have blocked her from texting or calling from her phone but if she texts his phone from facebook or an email account there just isn't a way to block it
5:13 pm
uusue2
I can turn off all texting to his phone (although I cannot block picture or video messages) but that seems too much (although I will talk to him about it if she continues to find ways around the blocks)
5:17 pm
uusue2
anyway I am going home, bbl!
5:17 pm
jmcnrick
i am so sorry you are going through this. i know it was hard when one of my son's gf ex-bf went ballistic on my son

Here is a clue story for you to si4/8 your teeth into. Before I got a house,I lived in a basement apartment behind Shop Ri 4/4 that was da4/9, dark and di4/5y. Apartment had been ru 4/5ed by the previous renter so I had to do a lot of work on it.For example,we had to get new si 5/18 in the bathroom and kitchen. The landlord,who lived upstairs,was very la4/8 and sickly looking. He kind of looked like Jim Varney sa 4/4 the mustache. Landlord cheated on his wife with a la 4/4 he'd bring home whenever she was on a business trip Landlord would walk so hard, that he would make the ceiling di4/5. He didn't care one di 4/5 about me and my hubby downstairs. Landlord had a child who would twirl her hu 4/6 hoop for hours & every time it fell to the floor,she'd jump up & yell because it had fallen to the floor. She also got very sick a lot. We could hear her every time she hu4/6ed. Several times we had to goto the landlord to compla 4/4 about something. He would di4/5 me everytime I went to him. One time he said, "It ir 4/8 me every time you come to me with a problem.It seems like you are always trying to st 4/4 up trouble!" Then my landlord boa4/4ed he never had problems w/any of his previous renters. His do 4/6 & tr 5/10 attitude made me and husband regret having taken apartment. Personally,I think he was a sa6/21 just by the way he acted & his temper. At la 4/4, my husband and I bought a large piece of la 4/5 and built a house. Babbling never la5/10 forever with husband around so I must go. Now I am going to go watch the movie The Incredible Hu 4/10. I might be back later.

I am trying very hard to pull myself together, but the side effects of the meds (so glad they are temporary) have set me back a lot. I DID manage to get in to the school this afternoon to help with the class party.

I had a REALLY bad allergy to a contact allergen (unknown) in the garden a week and a half ago (Sunday) -- hives and one arm swelled up a LOT. The following day I was pretty out of it so stayed home. Managed to drag myself through two days in the classroom, coughing more and more, was home Thursday for something and coughed all day. That Friday when I woke up I couldn't catch my breath and Tom took me straight to urgent care. Finished a 5-day prednisone course yesterday, and on albuterol inhaler for as long as it takes.
8:52 pm
suefrad625
wow, I pray you feel better soon.
8:52 pm
lbdawger
thank god for Tom's quick thinking and getting you to hospital.
8:52 pm

I was told it's reactive airway because the doc couldn't hear me wheezing when I got to him, but I do wheeze sometimes, so suspect my dreams of being an astronaut are through.
8:53 pm

when i lived in Pocatello, my little dog and I both had a really bad allergy attack. his eyes swole shut and he could hardly breath. Doc put him on predisone and benedryl. My doc put me on prednisone and allegra.

Ug, allergies. The glands in my neck are swollen and it feels I'm being strangled by a very weak toddler

that is pretty funny, lbd
8:58 pm
stidmama
I know -- they say that it's because the critters don't need the same level of documentation or cleanliness, but I claim it's all made in the same way in the same facilities.
8:58 pm
hshliz
doc told me to always take allergy meds at night. you tend to itch more in your sleep causing skin to break open and get infected causing more problems
8:59 pm
lbdawger
we were both pretty pathetic, but found out it was airborne fertilizer from conagra...just down the road from us.
8:59 pm
stidmama
hm. interesting idea, liz -- I take the new stuff in the morning because it's apparently not sedating. I might try switching it to the evening though...

my foxhound/pit mix suffers from skin allergies in the spring, but I can't give him benadryl because he flips out. stares at the walls, growls, gets hyper alert, and then drops.
9:00 pm

the pharmacist told me it was the same drug. he counted out both bottles! said if he could he'd charge me the canine price.
9:00 pm
stidmama
oh cr*p. I HATE that sh4! I can't even shop in the local garden store half the time because of the bagged for public use fertilizers!!! I much prefer the real thing -- manure, compost... that's GOOD sh4.

9:01 pm

it is actually a little funny, but he growled at me once "under the influence." most definitely not his normal behavior. and he's a big powerful dog with a big toothy pit bull head, so growling and benadryl are now out
9:01 pm

good luck with that sue... *glad we don't usually have flea issues*
9:02 pm

A night prowler. he was only a year old or so and would go into my home office and take everything out of my desk. go into the kitchen and take things out of the cupboard. empty the bathroom drawers, etc. eventually we had to put a latch hook on the outside of the bedroom door, just to keep him safe.
