1:08 am
westford

hopefully it's just bruising dee
1:08 am
VolleymomDee

am thinking that may be necessary for me... previously have been too proud and felt too young to have one, but this fall scared me...
1:08 am
dcseain

i only stared with pushing the idea about 6 months ago, and may just buy her one for her birthday in early December so she has the option once it starts snowing in January.
1:08 am
VolleymomDee

LOL dart... yeah, really bad example
1:09 am
dcseain

my mom's fallen twice, and been lucky, but i worry.
1:09 am
VolleymomDee

I hope so west... seems to be around left hip...since the pain came a week after fall am praying I didn't fracture or break anything unknowingly
1:09 am
flosey

great idea dc, bet she'll be quite happy to have it
1:09 am
rururocks

I hate TU words
1:09 am
VolleymomDee

I would, too, dc... every time I have fallen I have broken something...
1:10 am

1:10 am
VolleymomDee

me, too, ru
1:10 am
flosey

no kidding dc, when it's there, I bet she'll use it
1:10 am
dcseain

here's hoping! :)
1:10 am
VolleymomDee

maybe if you just brought one to her someday, and asked her to keep it for your sanity...
1:11 am
dcseain

i've seen her nearly tumble bending over for stuff in the flat kitchen :/ maybe an extensible grabby thing for her too.
1:11 am
flosey

I use blunt-ended ski poles for walking in rough terrain - as in quite a bit of our property, also great in the snow
1:11 am
VolleymomDee

those things are great... a friend of mine uses one cuz she is soooo short
1:11 am
dcseain

oh, she'll keep it -- she's good at keeping stuff. She even has several umbrella stands full of walking sticks, but she doesn't use any of those, either
1:12 am
rururocks

I think the ski poles would be a little tough on the azelias flosey
1:12 am
dcseain

oh, yes, those type of walking poles are great, flosey, speaking as someone who hikes 10-25 miles through mountains regularly.
1:12 am

1:37 am
dfmchfhf

I was on a co-operative education work term, and... worked from "0900h to 1700h" (read: 0800h to 2300h)... didn't really have the energy to Babble at night, and didn't really want to be doing it on the company computers.

1:43 am
flosey

hi there dfm good to see you, have missed you
1:43 am

It was a fun experience (for some definitions of "fun")... and probably will be a nice thing to add on a résumé!
1:43 am
flosey

just took a break to get ready for bed, so I don't wake hubby while tripping around in the dark
1:44 am

how wonderful and September is such a nice time
5:00 am
westford

this is my birthday month so it's kind of a favorite of mine
5:00 am
sprite

yes it is, I agree, it is such a cozy month. We married on friday 13th. So we have at least 2 anniversaries every year, and max 4. But this one is kinda special.
5:01 am
sprite

not sure if you do the same overthere, here 15 years of marriage is called the crystal anniversary.
5:01 am
westford

did you get breakfast in bed from your kids?
5:02 am
westford

we do that I'll send you some Waterford
5:02 am
sprite

happy birthday somewhere this month, west :)

No, nothing from the kids, except big cuddles from my daughter. And I got lovely roses + card from my love.
5:02 am
sprite

:D
5:02 am
westford

cuddles are roses are the best
5:03 am
westford

it's the 21st I share it with Stephen King
5:03 am
sprite

absolutely. And the card too. It says : kisses and cuddles for my love and my matey.
5:03 am

ohhhh good birthday! My sister's is 20th.
5:04 am
westford

our 2nd daughter's is the 24th and our 3rd daughter is having her 1st anniversary ( 2nd marriage) on the 18th
5:04 am

oh wonderful! Though quite a lot of celebrations together... do you combine?
5:05 am
westford

not any more Wendy lives in California and we're in RI
5:05 am
westford

we did when she was home though
5:05 am
sprite

ah that makes it rather impossible. Distances are such a different matter, here or overthere.
5:06 am
westford

we call and email all the time
5:06 am
sprite

long live the internet!
5:06 am
westford

no kidding
5:07 am
westford

sure wish it was around when our kids were babies and my husband was always gone..he was in the Navy
5:08 am
westford

I can't tell you how many times I would go out to that mailbox
5:08 am
sprite

yes it is amazing how much has changed thanks to the internet. People are much closer.
5:10 am
westford

the other day JBV said she was watching a religious ceremony from Italy where she has family and the priest said thank you for the miracle of the internet
5:10 am
sprite

oh wow
5:10 am
westford

isn't that amazing?
5:11 am
sprite

yes it is.
5:12 am
westford

of course when we lose power because of hurricanes that's another story lol
5:12 am
sprite

lol yes, it has a few drawbacks, but for keeping in touch with friends and family it is a great thing.
5:13 am
westford

I miss that most about my mother she's in a nursing home now ( 95 yrs. old ) and we used to email every day
5:13 am
westford

she can't hear so couldn't talk on the phone
5:14 am
sprite

and she cannot have a laptop there? There is software that translates what you say to written text on her screen, did you know?
5:15 am
westford

the home is working on getting the internet set up but it is very slow going
5:16 am
westford

they say they are worried about porn lol have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?
5:16 am
sprite

maybe you can hook her up with a mobile phone plus internet. I can't remember the name of the software... something with dragon.
5:16 am
sprite

lolllllll well if a lady of her age and experience cannot handle the porn threat, who can?
5:16 am
westford

I think it might be too confusing for her
5:17 am
sprite

it is Dragon NaturallySpeaking
5:17 am
westford

I will look into it
5:17 am
sprite

yeah somebody must set it up for her, and make it so that she doesn't have to do much. Just pick up, hit a button and talk.
5:18 am
westford

there is a problem there with things going missing too
5:18 am
sprite

oh that is awful. Shameful.
5:19 am
westford

I know.
5:20 am
westford

she has so many aides who come in and out and they are really good to her but it's disconcerting
5:21 am
sprite

I can imagine. Jeez.
5:22 am
westford

I have been meaning to ask..is all the construction over ?
5:23 am
sprite

yes it is! I cannot tell you how happy I am about that. There is silence and peace in da house now... relatively speaking anyway.
5:23 am
westford

did it drive Terra crazy?
5:23 am
westford

their hearing is so sensitive
5:25 am
sprite

no, Terra was pretty calm about it. Only once, when they started cutting stone without warning us, spraying the stuff over our garden and windows and door... it came through all the cracks into our house and Terra was really protective, barking at the stuff like crazy.
5:25 am
westford

that's horrible !! I hope they cleaned it up
5:26 am
westford

and cutting stone is the creepiest sound
5:26 am
westford

we had a new patio put in and they only cut bricks for a few hours
5:26 am
sprite

no they did not. They haven't cleaned up anything that landed at our side.
5:27 am
sprite

oh yes it is! I hate that sound. But thank God, it is behind us. Now picking up the pieces and getting back to therapy.
5:27 am
westford

good for you
5:28 am
westford

do you have anything special planned for today?
5:28 am
sprite

and that makes fireflies for me :)
West, lovely to see you and chat with you. Am sorry I have to go, hope to see you again soon. *hug*
5:29 am
sprite

no not really, but we will go to a private movie show soon, my present for him.
5:29 am

6:28 am

however I have just realized that I am supposed to be in two places at once tomorrow night :-P
6:29 am
mrpresident

that should be interesting! LOL!
6:30 am
uusue2

somebody is going to be disappointed...
6:31 am
uusue2

but I promised to give a talk to a group of students at 6, then I also promised to be on the worship committee at church, which is meeting at 7 - maybe I can be late to the church meeting...
6:32 am
mrpresident

oh hunny!! send your body double
6:32 am
mrpresident

you can be late to the committee, you can't not be there for the kiddies
6:32 am
uusue2

well, Frank is also going to the church thing, so he can tell me what happens - of course that means he will have the car
6:33 am
uusue2

and it's a ways from the dorm to the church...but I will manage.
6:33 am
mrpresident

i promised to give a talk to students and it was the day after surgery (which I didn't know about till 4 days before), so I sent my husband with all my notes, and it went really well!
6:33 am
uusue2

well, exactly what I was thinking, mrp, also that is a much more long-standing commitment
6:33 am
mrpresident

text him when you finish with the students and he can quickly pick you up
6:34 am
uusue2

oh, that was good! this is one I have to do myself, though (talking about pseudoscience to a group of students living in the Science and Engineering house on campus)
6:34 am
mrpresident

committee meetings are usually minuted too
6:34 am
uusue2

oh, that is a good idea, mrp! (why didn't I think of that?)
6:35 am
uusue2

dunno about the minutes, these are Unitarians, and a very small congregation, so it is all pretty informal (and you have to take the words "church" and "worship" with a grain of salt)
6:36 am

JBV, you are there because you have a genuine desire to learn. I would think that would be nice for the professor, as so many of the young people are there because they think they are "supposed to be".

hmmm - I did it much more informally, just asked the professor if I could sit in, and she said fine (of course I was a fellow faculty member so it wasn't quite the sme)

the package is actually a continuing ed. program about ADHD through the life cycle; so it might include pigs and who knows what else if packaged by someone with ADHD!

Haha, Nef... uh, thanks. :P I know, I wanted to use this one for the "crazy hairdos" theme, but couldn't find it at the time. It was on my other computer!

i never despair.my son is 18,and has a maturity level and aptitude of 13 or so,through great struggles and fights with dr,s and schools,we have him on the proper medication that is best for him(and not for the school) he has fine motor and writing delays,but we fought for 4 years and now he has a laptop for school as well as a scribe and a curriculum geared to his learning speed.we celebrate the victorys and encourage him to overcome the losses.funny things happen,just last year he scored a 90 percentile in of all things auto shop,seems he is a savant in this field and the teacher of that class advised us to enroll him in advanced course for this year(grade 11) and he is set up for co-op course in the second term this year...amazing things happen when you least expect it;)
2:09 pm
Nef

crossy, you are so right! My son (now 32) was very bright but didn't do well in school because of his learning style either. He was very good with computers, however, but back then they didn't do different things for each student. He got in trouble; we had fought for years over him taking his meds, etc. but he is now the QA supervisor of a video gaming company and is doing quite well. His wife (on the other hand) really gets upset when dealing with him for the day-to-day things
2:10 pm

With the ADHD, he is so focused on his work that hedidn't know that a tornado had passed over his workplace one day though!

same here,if my son has a single task with no distractions,he will focus on it to the exclusion of all else,but if anything else is going on,he tend to have a 10 second attention span

Yes, but that's spelling it out.
3:17 pm

which is okay cluing Neil
3:17 pm

I prefer clues that don't do that, if possible. Some words are impossible to clue any other way though.
3:18 pm
hego

and it is a babblet.
3:18 pm
Nef

I found it in another source with an A as the last vowel. that's why I tried to give another clue
3:18 pm

6:01 pm

Yeah, I can see how that would be best done on paper, Sue.
6:02 pm
uusue2

I would give you an example but it is essentially impossible to do in plain text (too many special characters, subscripts, superscripts, honking great fractions, and the like)
6:02 pm

for instance sue i imagine the golden ratio constand would be tough to find on a keyboard lool

don't use that one much, crossy, but there is an equation that I just wrote down that involves density (greek letter rho), opacity (kappa), pi, the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (sigma with subscripts), and a few numbers and letters, all part of a large fraction

I've made a very succcessful en5/14 into Babbleland. After ma4/5 hours of babbling,I have made a huge de 4/5 in the grid.I am almost done so here is a story of clues. When I was a te4/4ager, I was so in love with a boy I thought was really cu4/6.I thought he was cu 5/14 than any other guy.Thought he was my one and only tr4/5 love. I always broke cu 4/9ew when I was with him. I was actually obsessed with him and there was no cu4/6 for my obsession.I was very possessive of him and did not like it at all when he hung out with his friends during some of his fr4/7 time. Didn't want his friends coming onto my tu4/8 & taking him away. I would be da 6/27 if he chose his friends over me.I'd sit at home and write ru4/5s about him whenever he was out with his friends. When others told me that I was obsessed with him, I'd de4/7 it. I was so worried about losing him, that I went on an extreme di 4/5. I would always fr4/7 over the fact that I was too fat.I did not give a di 4/5 if I was making myself sick over him.All I cared about was being with him.I wanted my relationship with him to be et6/18. My obsession and possessiveness drove him away eventually. It was so hard for me to come to te 5/12 with the fact that he didn't love me anymore.I wanted to drive my car into a tr 4/4. When he finally broke up with me, we had a huge argument that tu 6/24 really ugly and we hated eachother for awhile. We finally had a tr 5/14, but I know he never really liked me again. Da4/4! Husband just told me in a cu 4/6 voice he wants the laptop ne 4/9. How da 4/5 he take it when I'm babbling!I guess I should let him have a tu 4/5 on laptop.I am going to ex 4/9 Babbleland and da 4/5 into the kitchen to find a delicious en6/18 to eat for dinner. I did not ed 4/5 story,so there might be some mistakes. Be back later

some investigative reporter should do an expose on how college students are victimized by overpricing int he book dept.
7:09 pm

Wow. Yes, I remember books were expensive in college. You try to buy used ones when you can.

Hi uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome back to grid.
7:09 pm
JBV

it depends, peri - - if it's in the public domain, maybe, but it would have to be an old book
7:09 pm
uusue2

and I must confess to shock that even the used books for my astronomy class cost $120 :-(
7:10 pm
carleekat

hi sue :)
7:10 pm

but there isn't much to choose from - the other book that would have been appropriate cost even more

Hi, all...
7:11 pm

I know the publishers will say they have to recoup costs and themarket is limited, but really - $120 for a used book - it's crazy

Are textbooks getting more expensive every year? The most I ever spent on a new text as an undergrad was about $90 around '96 or so.
7:11 pm

hi jells... I just have always considerede the textbooks a necessary evil...i dont sweat it..it is what it is...

7:13 pm
JBV

actually, I've been spending a lot of money on buying Italian books from Italy (the shipping is sometimes more than the value of the book) but it's my only indulgence, so I treat myself - I don't get my nails done every week or go crazy buying clothes, so books are my treat
7:13 pm
uusue2

(also I get the publisher to send me his physics books as desk copies, since I'm using the same text in my class)
7:13 pm

7:13 pm

I kept mine, Jellen. Now I don't even know why... it's not like I ever look at them anymore.
7:13 pm

I'd have to buy your books at our bookstore, though, carlee - but I would still get the 10%
7:13 pm

I still buy textbooks out of curiosity - just paid $50 for a used geology text, and I want to get one on meteorology too.
7:13 pm
