Perogies! Love those. College food was often ramen, Kraft Dinner or peanut butter sandwiches or hot dogs, etc. How did we ever survive?
2:05 am
negativeneil

"Grok" is a sound some lizards make. At least I had one go "grok, grok" at me once. :P
2:07 am
negativeneil

Or it might've been a lizard. I dunno. I was a little kid and we were at the zoo and I kept hearing that sound when we were looking at some... but maybe it was something nearby. I'll see if Mom knows.

I was razzing him pretty badly last week about some poetry he was tweeting... it's just my job to, you know. So he told me "f___ you. Get a JOB." only he typed the full word, of course. Right there for all the public to see... nice! :P
2:34 am
VolleymomDee

Funny. Some of my friends get offended, but as I said, I grew up with a marine. Actually the only swear word that really offends me is taking the Lord's name in vain; otherwise, I am cool with it when it is used in context, and not just used because someone does not have a vocabulary.
2:34 am
VolleymomDee

LOL too funny
2:35 am
negativeneil

Well yeah. I only use it if it's in context... otherwise what's the point? It's just not clever then.

It's really bad for teachers now. So many cuts.
2:48 am
VolleymomDee

This time it seems to be hitting the middle class more than any other group (at least here that is true). Our unemployed are conscientious, hard-working, educated professionals, which actually makes it harder.

Ty, I'll enjoy reading. I think the worst part is not knowing what to do. When our daughter graduated from college in 2004 (or 5), they were told they would have an average of 7 different professions (not jobs, but total changes)... pretty scary.

It does change perspective, and in the long run, will probably make us more creative.
2:58 am

She is smart and never had a bad review, so it was not performance related. They will rename her job and hire someone at half her salary. She will be scrambling for insurance, until she can apply for medicare and supplement... it's nuts.
3:09 am
negativeneil

Yeah, that's really awful of them to do that to her. They just don't care whose life they wreck, do they?
3:09 am
negativeneil

After all she's given them over the years.
3:10 am
VolleymomDee

What's sad is the decisions are supposedly based on "profit", but here is the idiocy - she received a year's severance and total insurance during that time. That would make her only 2 years short... that is almost criminal. Okay, enough for my soap box.

It is dissociative disorder.

Isn't schitzoid one of those little yappy dogs?

10:46 am
bichon

Hi there, speaking of little dogs
10:47 am
sprite

I understand, Kaplan. The popular image of schizophrenia is totally wrong. But to people on the outside, somebody reacting to things only he/she can see or hear or feel is apparently not so different from somebody with a split identity.
10:47 am
Erda

LOL bichon
10:47 am

will do, dawg! Have a good time, you.
10:47 am

hi bichon :) Yours is cute! Mine is too.

under a biggie honking tree - i was thinking (dangerous mission) - we talk to plants and they grow - we honk near trees, play loud music, and the trees grow really big - and that's not counting the spanish moss - that's a totally different misuse of words

I am well, TO -- after struggling for so long while I was in school, and feeling as if it would never come together last year, suddenly this month I am feeling as if I have things partly figured out... was prescheduled for 7 days this month, and grabbed an extra day for a friend when she got sick suddenly. So I am getting in some time actually teaching (which I love) for a change!
7:38 pm

ph+ sometimes vowel + **st but not least, then use a Latin plural, then another 5 like the first one, with a different last vowel. Did that make sense?

ph5,18. pl of major taxanomic groups of living things.

The armor was really fascinating. I hadn't realized that the plate armor that I had thought of as really mideval was invented because of the use of guns.

Chain mail worked much better against swords.
8:44 pm
Picklesny

is the chain e-mail?
8:44 pm
MollyL

Peach, that has happened here too. A lot of the suburbs close to DC have become places you don't want to be after dark.
8:44 pm
wht

And all the pieces of plate armor had these dents in it where the armorer fired a gun at it to prove that it would stop the ball.
8:45 pm
gapeach

I saw chain mail for the first time when I took my daughter to the Louvre in 1980....gee, that sounds like a lifetime ago.
8:46 pm
wht

Mr Higgins owned a steel mill in Worcester, and he became a collector of mideval armor and weapons because he was interested in steel.
8:46 pm
MollyL

I get pretty grossed out when I think about what men who went to war in that stuff must have smelled like when they came home from battle.
8:46 pm
gapeach

The ones there were very small, I thought. But then I guess they used young boys and men to do the fighting.
8:48 pm
wht

People back then were a lot smaller anyway. Something about nutrition.
8:49 pm
gapeach

Molly, it is said that is why the French invented perfume.
8:49 pm

people were smaller and no one much bathed so war smell didn't matter

bathing more than once a week was a 20th century thing for most people
8:49 pm

ades
8:50 pm
MollyL

I've noticed that when I have visited historical dwellings. You should see the house they took Lincoln to after he was shot. And the tiny little short bed they put that very tall man in.
8:50 pm
Picklesny

also not a word though it works in crosswords
8:50 pm
jmcnrick

along with indoor plumbing
8:50 pm

That was why being a Knight of the Bath was such a big thing. You actually got a bath.

8:54 pm

Molly, in Warm Springs, GA, there is the Little White House, where FDR died. In touring it, I noticed the bed was so short and he was a very tall man....maybe they used extension boards or something.
8:55 pm
Picklesny

wow they killed Mitch Lawrence again!
8:55 pm
wht

Or maybe he slept curled up.
8:57 pm
MollyL

When my kids were younger, and we toured a colonial house, they didn't understand the step stools next to the beds. Nor did they understand the concept of a chamber pot. : )
8:59 pm
wht

There is nothing like sleeping in a house with only a wood stove in the winter to understand the appeal of a chamber pot.
8:59 pm
gapeach

I think most young people today don't know just how far we've come from what....a hundred years or less.
9:00 pm
gapeach

LOL, wht. I really hated going to grandma's house for that very reason.
9:01 pm
MollyL

The appeal of not having to go outside to do your business, yes. The appeal of your business sitting in a pot next to your bed, not so much.
9:02 pm

Touche, Molly.

Dogs belong to God and cats are the servants of Satan. Or so history would have us believe.
9:51 pm
Jacula

Cats are certainly more manipulative and demanding, but dogs can be the same, too. They just live quicker than cats and so can't drag the torture out for so long.
9:52 pm
Jacula

I assume this is because dogs are pack animals who need a leader and cats more often operate alone.
9:53 pm

Oh, btw, that is one thing I got well paid for on the writing front - my stuff about cats and dogs, and other animals.

9:58 pm

same with hitchhikers guide to the galaxy...t.v does a poor job
10:00 pm

Crossy - I think it's something to do with people who relish and appreciate words, and use their own imaginations... no one else, unless it is you producing the film of the book, will see it the same.

Hi Jen.

i find it works better to see movie then read book. the book tends to fill flesh out the movie

Good Evening Everyone. I find it better to read the book; movies aren't necessary at all to enjoy the book

i wanted it ruru, it gives a day off during the week to do things instead of the weekend
10:10 pm

Pickles - not a tea snob - just a British tea drinker. Also, if you ask any of my British Indian friends, they won't disagree.
10:11 pm

10:13 pm

Pickles - in this house we have more varieties of tea than a tea shop. That's not a quote from me but from several people who have visited.
10:13 pm
rururocks

Minveryork

I am finished so here is a story of cl 5/20. My hubby has sleep ap5/12. I wish that husband would go aw 4/10 to a sleep clinic to see how bad it is. I wish he would use a C-PAP.The idea doesn't appe4/5 to him. I think he is hy 4/7 for not using one. Hubby thinks people at the sleep clinic would tell him that he has a sleep disorder just so he would get a C-PAP and the insurance company could make money. He thinks all th 4/7 care about is making money. Hubby thinks sleep ap5/12 does not really exist and it is all hy 4/8 so people can make money on the C-PAPS. My husband thinks there should be la 4/8 against people who try to make money off something that's not real. He does not realize he would be able to sleep with ea4/4 w/a machine and wouldn't have to take so many na 4/5 during the day due to lack of sleep. I've begged him to ple5/10 use a C-PAP.If not for his sake for mine. It would appe5/12 my mind knowing that he would live longer using a C-PAP. I goto bed on pi 4/5 and needles wondering if he's going to wake up the next morning. It really drives me insa4/4. Wish I could just ha 4/5 his fat ass to a sleep clinic. My husband is very unhealthy which contributes to his sleep disorder.Hubby needs to go on a diet and cl7/32 his body of all of the calories and fat he eats. I think if my husband cl 7/36 out his body and lost weight, he would be healthier. I do hope one day he sn 4/5s out of his high & mighty attitude & goes to a sleep clinic. Hope that this story le 4/5 you to find some more words. Now I am going to go le 4/5 into bed and watch Morgan Freeman in the film Le4/4 on Me. Goodbye all.

Min's story re the man who snores looud enough to wake half a continent is mainly fictional. I love my other half but I wish he was mainly fictional when he's snoring for Britain.
10:27 pm
Jacula

Tonight, not only has he, yet again, removed one of life's small pleasures from me (that of sinking in to fresh sheets and pillows) because he always goes to bed before I do AND uses all of the bed, but he is also invading my side now and grinding his teeth so loudly that I think my jaw may shatter any moment.
