the rec departments from the diff towns she works in. According to her, they haven't paid her yet. Well, that is not my problem. I work for her, not the town. SHE needs to pay me.
7:08 am
car.eeyore
OK, well if she does not reply to you TODAY, you will call the school board and the head of the rec department and let them know that she is running a scam.
7:09 am

7:12 am
Trifioso

8:28 am
Nef
I don't remember, peri; but FM was the one who posted pic of it.
8:28 am
periwinkle
yes she did and since I have her as one of my friends I have pictures of it
8:35 am
bethn
this has been a rough week here, my best friend's 86 yr old mom passed away suddenly on fri, no warning, she had been out tto lunch that day, and played bridge the day before. they are jewish, so we sat shiva until last night, i did all the organizing for meals etc, as they are not allowed to "work" while mourning. Then we got the call that DH's 89 yr old aunt passed in her sleep fri nite, she had had a stroke 2 mos. ago, and had bounced back with just a verrrrrry slight slur to her speech. The authorities were threatening the family with toxicology and autopsy. Son had to talk reason to them, so they just did tox, funeral will be on sat. in connecticut, hope we are not waiting for a third..
8:35 am
Nef
Finally found the 10! NBS and NBT after 120 words

8:37 am
Nef
(((beth))) my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
8:37 am
bethn
thanks nef. but on a lighter note yesterday was my 37 th anniversary
8:38 am
Nef
YAY for you! We are going on 38 ourselves (in March)
8:39 am
bethn
doesnt seem possible in these days of disposable marriages does it? i know of at least 3 young people who didn't last 1 year, two of those had weddings that cost well over 50,000 dollars
8:40 am
Nef
I must go now and take DH to the knee surgeon. I hope they schedule this surgery ASAP. This is getting ridiculous: he's been putsing with this since Sept. with injections; etc. and they are holding up his back surgery til after the knee is okay. He's in lots of pain and (as he says) "useles and tits on a boarhog!"
8:41 am
bethn
i will put him on my prayer list nef hope they schedule him fast
8:42 am
Nef
OMG, beth! DH and I are mentors in a pre-marriage program and we always stress toour couple that the wedding is one day in the re4 of their lives! It sounds as though no one told those yong couples that!
8:42 am
Nef
thanks, beth. Bye!~ <poof>

Does it affect you when other people wear perfume?
11:24 am
kje
no, I do not wear perfume... I do have 2 at home that don't bother me much if I really want something, but otherwise no
11:24 am

and other people's perfume can drive me nuts, especially when they overdo it

yes, men can smell too string also... I always wonder whether they use so much b/c they don't want to wash ; )
11:27 am
Haz1558
I'm sure ruru never smells too string.
11:27 am
rururocks
maybe because we are inter-twined?
11:27 am

11:44 am
Jeff7
ty....now i can relax lol
11:45 am
kje
this is interesting...This is a fantastic chart, because it shows the speed at which our vocabulary really grows. Between the ages of 3 and roughly 16, our vocabulary explodes at an average rate of almost 4 new words a day (3.8, to be more exact). Then, between the ages of 16 and 50, our vocabulary growth is slower, but still fairly consistent: around 1 new word a day (0.85, to be precise). Finally, beyond 50, vocabulary size appears to remain fairly constant.
11:45 am
uusue2
so those of us over 50 should play lots of Babble to expand our vocabularies :-)
11:46 am

I may be approaching steady state

I got 34,100. Wow Nef
11:57 am

I thought it was interesting that they asked about reading fiction. I find that a lot of the fiction I've read over the years hasn't been the usual or common fiction (which I do read ) but I've read a lot of 18th and 19th century fiction over time. That usually stretched my vocabulary a lot more than modern fiction does
11:58 am
crosshair
off to do the test
12:01 pm

There were some words I thought I knew, but didn't check. I'd be interested to see how my husband does. He's got a great vocab.

hi all

Haz1558
Hello, peri.
12:03 pm
kje
that is what they tell you to do - don't check any word unless you really know the definition. I know they are trying to generate some stats, but their problem is that those who take the test score much higher than they know the average population to be, and this corresponds to a higher than average SAT score listed also. I suspect those with bad vocabularies do not take the test
12:04 pm
crosshair
mmm:(( test score 38,800..some very tough one on that list
12:04 pm
periwinkle
I am guessing that people are just checking words that the recognize
12:05 pm
periwinkle
but don't know the meaning and that would throw the results off
12:05 pm
crosshair
that is a very good score indeed nef!
12:05 pm
kje
maybe, but not necessarily... only people with good vocabularies will likely spend the time to take it, so the results would be biased
12:06 pm
crosshair
then just reclassify it as a test for bibliophiles and not the population at large
12:06 pm
kje
the lowest babbler score i saw so far was 32,000... that is WAY above the average
12:06 pm
Nef
I don't even know if I took the SAT test back in the old days. Was it around in the '60's?
12:06 pm
kje
it is a semi-social experiment, cross... they can do what they like
12:07 pm
kje
you graduated HS in the 60s?
12:07 pm
crosshair
as it should be kje..we play with words all the time
12:07 pm
kje
you're old enough to be my mother! lol
12:07 pm
amelu0218
I graduated in '83 and took the ACT not the SAT...
12:08 pm
kje
I never took either test
12:08 pm
MollyL
You're right KJE. People who don't think they have a good vocabulary wouldn't bother with the test, thus the results are skewed.
12:08 pm
kje
but I graduated around the same time and remember you could take either test... is the ACT still around
12:10 pm
crosshair
testing..getting the red box of doom...
12:11 pm
Nef
I agree with crossy, though. It should be a test for readers. I once read the average book is written at a 6th grade reading level (ie: along the line of Readers' Digest); so unless you are reading something that is at a higher level that average; you won't come across a large number of these words. Try reading somethin by Thackeray or Wordsworth and Coleridge and that is at a whole'nother level of language than what we read today
12:11 pm
crosshair
i graduated in 1979 and school for the most part is just a fog.no great sucesses,no great faliures.just finish and get the paper to hang on the wall
12:12 pm
crosshair
read david copperfield a few months ago and it is amazing how language evolves
12:12 pm
crosshair
reading the golden oldies exercises your mind
12:13 pm
Nef
Yes, kje; I'm in my 60's and now retired. But DH and I didn't marry til I was 28 and we didn't have kids til I was into my 30's; so I always say I was a late bloomer
12:13 pm
crosshair
the characters verbosity even in the simplest of things was astounding
12:13 pm
Haz1558
Well, this golden oldie must take herself off. Enjoy the grid!

The ACT is still around, it's what most of our students take; the SAT is still around as well and is more popular in the East (I am in the Midwest)
12:14 pm
Nef
I so agree crossy.
12:14 pm
uusue2
and I took the SAT, graduated high school in 1968
12:15 pm
crosshair
every word was so full of meaning and so well planned as to responses and how it would be taken.some gatherings seemed to take 3 pages just to say hello lol
12:16 pm
Nef
I have no idea if I took a test for college or not; if I did; I didn't think it was something to remember I guess
12:17 pm
Nef
the only book I never finished in 1 try was Thackeray's Vanity Fair. It took me 4 different tries to get through that because of the language !
12:18 pm
kje
I started at a small local college so only took their test... then when I went on, everyone just accepted the grades from the college as proof of ability so I never sat for either. I did take the PSAT in my sophmore year though
12:18 pm
Nef
The Aunt that raised me used to tell us that we needed to talk in plain English so people understood us as not everyone had good vocabulary skills.
12:20 pm
kje
I am sure the words we actually use are much much less in number than those we can define once they are seen... no one talks like that for exactly the reason you stated, nef - the purpose is communication and no one would have a clue what you were saying
12:20 pm
Nef
I went to a 3 year nursing school (diploma program); did the BSN later after I was an RN
12:21 pm
Nef
But like crossy says; if you read David Copperfield or any of the book from the 19th century; the characters "sure used fancy words!"
12:23 pm
Nef
Even Thoreau's Walden Pond (one of my favorites when I was young) was written above today's "common" vocabualry
12:23 pm
rbud
hi, Babblers! :) I didn't do as well as you all on the test, because I didn't check any words I "thought" I knew the definition to, but was a tiny bit unsure... now I feel like a dummy, lol!
12:24 pm
MollyL
I even learn new words from Stephen King. He uses the word "obdurate" a lot in "11/23/63". Referring to how the past is inflexible when it comes to change.
12:26 pm
MollyL
You aren't a dummy rbud.
12:26 pm
rbud
I have fun suggesting to our kids that they drag out the dictionary when they want to know what a word means - they always want to race to the computer, it's amazing how bad they are at searching with a real live dictionary in their hands.
12:26 pm
Nef
I'll have to ask my kids to take this and have their friends do it too; it will be interesting to see how they do.
12:28 pm
rbud
plus I have a shiny new (3-yr-old) set of encyclopedias at my library, and in the 2 years it's been there, not a soul (besides me) has shown any interest in it at all, sigh...
12:28 pm
Nef
rbud, you aren't a dummy at all! AND, I don't know if my daughter can use a real dictionary! She will grab a thesaurys any day; even when she was in grade school! (I think she had trouble spelling and the thesaurus was easier for her to use)
12:29 pm
kje
it is a digital age... nothing wrong with using the computer. It is one of the things we discuss as educators... how education should change to better reflect the age we live in. Why memorize something you need rarely and can look up in 2 seconds... focus on different objectives
12:30 pm
rbud
sad to think that kids will never feel the reverence and excitement I used to when I was handed a nifty new book.
12:30 pm
Nef
LOL! We had an encyclopedia set (Funk and Wagnalls; not a big expensive one) and there was always 1 or 2 of those books in the bathroom (err, the "reading room" in outr house)
12:30 pm
kje
they will... but they will read that book electronically
12:31 pm
hootowl
hi - I made a list of the words I wasn't sure of and will look them up. It's harder to remember a word out of context in a sentence!
12:31 pm

12:32 pm
Nef
do you know or remember the smell of an old library? the mustyness or aged paper smell? Kids now-a-days will never know the feelings that smeel would bring over us!

rbud,i still get that feeling.a nice new book as a gift and it is one you have wanting for a while,you hold it in your hands for a little and actually take your time making a tea,selecting a chair,drawing out the anticipation,wondering where it will take you in your minds eye

I think the entire Babble Community could use that, sue; I just bless this place and the people here.
5:06 pm
uusue2
me too, nef! you have all been a wonderful light in what has otherwise been a rather rotten year for me.
5:08 pm
Nef
so many of us have had rotten years; I really hope that there are also numerous people here who have had terrific years (I just can't think of any this minute) :-(

Believe it, m' dear!
5:29 pm
jesdraggon
I've had a pretty good year, nef
5:30 pm
MollyL
Oh I do. And it takes one to know one, dear Peach.
5:31 pm
jesdraggon
for your listing purposes :)
5:31 pm
Nef
And it's good to hear that you had a good year too! That is delightful! :-)
5:32 pm
mileycyrus16
I've had a good year as well, hah.
5:32 pm
Nef
hi miley. ANd that's terrific!
5:33 pm
mileycyrus16
p.s. I am not claiming to be Miley Cyrus , I made this account a very long time ago when my sister and I use to play haha,
5:33 pm
Nef
When did you used to play, miley?
5:35 pm
mileycyrus16
well, I am in 10th grade now but I used to play when I was in 5th grade
5:38 pm
Nef
okay; you've been around for a while too then!
5:39 pm
MollyL
Hmm, who is that trip-trapping across our bridge?
5:40 pm
mileycyrus16
Yess , I have , & are you reffereing to me as a troll , Molly?
5:42 pm
Nef
I don't see any troll activity. At one point there were a bunch of young kids who played a lot; but I haven't seen any of them for a long time (and, truthfully, one a kid hits the teens, they find so much more fun things to do than word games)
5:44 pm
uusue2
nice to meet you, miley! You must have been quite precocious to have been playing when you were in the 5th grade!
5:45 pm
mileycyrus16
Hahah, I remember that, one of them was my sister, I must confess, buut I am only here with the intent to play this word game just like everyone else, soooo Molly, I can see how you would make the assumption that I would be trying to ruin the fun considering it was done in the past by young players, however, you probably should find out the real intent of a person before assuming, and vvsve I only played because it was extra credit for english class and my sister liked it
5:46 pm
Nef
even stid's kids played back then, sue. I think that some teachers may have told their classes about this site; I think that that was how some trolls did come her
5:46 pm
uusue2
makes sense! My son might have enjoyed it back then too!
5:49 pm
mileycyrus16
That probably would be the reasoning haa. I haven't heard about this site since that one teacher, I'm not sure how other children would hear about it.
5:49 pm
Nef
I'm still not half way yet; but I'm going to open Lickety as I'm not seeing many words anymore.
5:50 pm
uusue2
(I only have 87 words but am still pretending to grade exams)
5:51 pm
jesdraggon
i have 157 left, but might be able to clue some :)
5:51 pm
Nef
should be interesting trying to open lickety from here; hope I won't lose any words!
5:51 pm
uusue2
where are you, nef?
5:53 pm
Nef
new computer without any bookmarks or any of my stuff in it yet. I got impatient and tried setting it all up before my son was able to.
5:53 pm
uusue2
ah. Nice thing about using chrome as your browser is that it shares your bookmarks between computers...
5:57 pm
Nef
it's a new (refurbished) mac, sue. It should share bookmarks; I just didn't know how to do it right
5:57 pm
Nef
Supper just arrived! BBS!
5:57 pm
uusue2
oh, ok, I haven't used macs in years. Hope you enjoy it!
5:57 pm

7:26 pm

7:27 pm
stidmama
AND I got to talk with the school counselor at lunch -- she is a wonderful woman. I learned a huge amount just in the 20 minutes we sat together, about how to work with students who may not be getting enough to eat at home.

7:47 pm
majmom
tx was trying all the 5`s but that one-duh
7:49 pm
MollyL
I just laugh at the term "Babblet". To me that means an obscure word that only occurs in this puzzle that drives people mad.
