Good morning. Heading out to the bus. BRB

What do you meeean "auror" isn't a word? JK Rowling has some 'splaining to do!
6:46 am

Poor Sprite. Knockin' around in the chat log all by her lonesome. Never fear! I am here with coffee and croissants!
6:47 am

oh, samantha, I am so with you! I always try that one. and endor, and dalek....
6:47 am
Trifioso
morning miss molly!
6:50 am
MollyL
Good Morning Trif. If I had a hundred dollars for every word Rowling made up, I could retire.
6:50 am
Trifioso
SHE certainly has!
6:51 am
SamanthaJoy
And made up oddly. I mean, really, now, the killing curse is "abracadabra"? *snicker*
6:52 am
Trifioso
not exactly! it's turned inside out and letters flipped
6:52 am
SamanthaJoy
Close enough, close enough. But I'll stop now, lest I be accused of arguing with success. :)
6:53 am
MollyL
She really took a page from Roald Dahl (Willy Wonka...gobstoppers) with all the made up words.
6:53 am
Trifioso
lawd, girl, you are allowed an opinion1
6:53 am
SamanthaJoy
Roald Dahl made up gobstoppers? I. Did. Not. Know. That!
6:53 am
Trifioso
I like "muggle". that's a pretty awesome word
6:55 am
Trifioso
james barrie made up "wendy" for peter pan
6:56 am
SamanthaJoy
There's a long tradition of making up names for women in books. That's where we get Pamela too.
6:56 am
Trifioso
I didn't know that!
6:56 am
MollyL
SamanthaJoy and rbud have the same icon. I get identity confusion when that happens.

"Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded"
6:58 am
Kaplan the Magne
Upton Sinclair did a satiric update- it was very fun. Esp if you have a taste for Upton Sinclair, which I do- having devoured all the Lanny Budd books
6:59 am
MollyL
Trif, by the way, that is not true about Barrie making up the name Wendy. Look it up.
6:59 am
Trifioso
okay molly. sorry. I had heard it was accurate. enjoy the PB!
7:00 am
Kaplan the Magne
ahhhhhhhhhh- to thine own self...
7:00 am
SamanthaJoy
Sinclair did a satiric update of which? We're covering so much ground here I can't keep up!
7:00 am
carleekat
peter pan..tinker bell was a slut attending orgies...and wendy was seducing peter....
7:00 am
MollyL
tr4 dat. I will be making breakfast in the PB. I will spare you the 5000 word description.
7:01 am
MollyL
Um, okay. Uh, interesting take on Peter Pan, I guess.
7:01 am
Kaplan the Magne
Pamela- or virtue rewarded. It would have been prescient of him to update Harry Potter- although he did believe in esp.
7:01 am
SamanthaJoy
Hmm. I'm thinking I'd like it better than the current versions.
7:01 am
carleekat
read it molls... i can grab my copy and quote it
7:02 am
Kaplan the Magne
WHAT carlee?
7:02 am
Trifioso
okay, it seems barrie popularized the name, but did not, in fact, coin it. learned something today!
7:02 am
MollyL
I've read the book Carlee. Never quite gleaned that from it.
7:03 am
SamanthaJoy
It seems that so many people have forgotten that Tinkerbell was a murdering little *!^$#; Disney's destroyed Peter Pan for me. I need real drama in my children's tales. :)
7:03 am
Trifioso
probs brought to you by the same people who are CONVINCED that Diana and Anne were full blown lesbians in Anne of Green Gables
7:04 am
carleekat
just scanning it..just a sec
7:04 am
Kaplan the Magne
I have to do some re-reading, I see.
7:04 am
SamanthaJoy
I'm starting to wish there was a "Like" function for comments in the chog. :)
7:04 am
MollyL
Oh and there are actually college courses taught on the sexual undertones of all the Grimm stories. Whatever floats your boat.
7:05 am
SamanthaJoy
In the original Grimm stories, I never so much thought of them as UNDERtones.
7:05 am
Trifioso
ugh. casey anthony is on my tv....please, just go away

Give her the evil eye, Trif.

7:09 am
Trifioso
welcme back, uusue!
7:09 am
Trifioso
oooh, snap car!
7:09 am
MollyL
Well that all depends on your definition of orgy. "unrestrained indulgence in any activity". I seriously doubt Barrie was referring to sex.
7:09 am
uusue2
thanks, trif!
7:09 am
car.eeyore
uusue...I TRULY enjoyed all of your photos from your trip! It is an area of the world I would love to visit, but know that it is very unlikely that I will get there. I am VERY much into history and such, so I was so excited to "see" it through your lens.
7:10 am
SamanthaJoy
Possibly it was an orgy of violence. Wasn't Fight Club based on an unpublished barrie manuscript? ;)
7:10 am
uusue2
glad you liked them, car! It was an amazing trip. My son is now studying Hebrew and wants to go back.

7:13 am

Hallelujah
7:14 am
carleekat
there are several little "seduction scenes" tinkerbell constantly shows jealousy toward wendy...wendy is "the other woman" . one of the themes is sexual maturation in wendy..she can grow up...whereas peter never will
7:14 am
SamanthaJoy
And, of course, the attempted murder. It's really a pretty awesome story.
7:15 am
carleekat
grimm books are very cool..and most of htem were written about "growing up" was an easy way for parents to have the "sex talk" and warn their children about protecting their virtue
7:15 am
carleekat
tonnes of violence..PP is NOt a children's story really
7:15 am
car.eeyore
I did a paper once in school about the overtones of drug use in Alice in Wonderland....wasn't too hard to do though! LOL!
7:15 am
carleekat
we are doing alice this week car.ee i still have 4 chapters to go
7:16 am
MollyL
Yep, you can take many stories written for children years ago and dissect them to death. It's been done for years.
7:16 am
car.eeyore
Not to mention Lewis Carroll's "love" of children...ewww...
7:16 am
carleekat
Oh and questions still remain whether barrie was a pedophile... he ended up raising 4 children whom he obsessed over and once 2 of them reached adulthood they committed suicide
7:17 am
carleekat
but that was how lessons were passed on to children..most times the people who told the stories were illiterate.. and they told these stories around the fire both for entertainment and to teach...
7:17 am
SamanthaJoy
Molly, in this case, it's not dissecting, it's plain text. Tinkerbell tried to kill Wendy out of jealousy. It's just that it got left out of the Disney version and subsequent movies, so a lot of people don't know it.
7:18 am
Trifioso
the today show is doing a report on how often moms lie to kids....
7:18 am
carleekat
we lie the entire month of december
7:19 am
Trifioso
Some lies are completely necessary, depending on the child's age....
7:19 am
carleekat
little red riding hood is clearly a warning to young girls to be wary of "wolves"...else they will consume them...
7:20 am
carleekat
its no different really than the imagery in the lion the witch and the wardrobe being christian allegory...
7:20 am
car.eeyore
I love dissecting books. There is so much more to them than just the outer layer of the story. Very cool.
7:21 am
MollyL
Nor any different that those who claim the Harry Potter books are about the occult and Devil worship. Everyone is entitled to their take on things. I just find some of them very strange.
7:21 am
carleekat
its fun..i like digging too...
7:22 am
car.eeyore
But, alas, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar!
7:22 am
carleekat
the harry potter books i dont think has any occult or devil worship in the form of allegory..they use witchcraft as a setting to tell a story of maturation in a tradition quest format
7:23 am
carleekat
true enough car.
7:23 am
MollyL
Yes Car, sometimes it's just a big fat cigar. : )
7:23 am
car.eeyore
Stats please for the single A in the right column?
7:23 am
car.eeyore
NM! Just got it!
7:24 am
carleekat
but i can see the fundamentalists who take everything litterally and see no allegory as presuming harry patter is teaching kids to believe and follow in witchcraft and occult
7:24 am
SamanthaJoy
They said the same thing about Star Wars if I recall.
7:25 am
car.eeyore
I LOVED the History Channel show they did on the story of Star Wars and all the famous books/stories it rlelates to.
7:26 am
carleekat
none the less digging is fun... i had a blast with my religion course taking a passage of religious text and delving into it to find the allegorical meanings...was st. thomas aquinas who developed the 4 stages or levels of thinking that is applied reading
7:26 am
Kaplan the Magne
Close reading of text is fascinating, but it's different if there is some historical context, rather than idiot paranoia. Do you remember when Tinky Winky was revealed as a gay icon?
7:26 am
SamanthaJoy
Oh lordy yes, I'd forgotten that. How funny.
7:26 am
Kaplan the Magne
Because of his (I'm presuming "his") purse and lavender triagle headpiece.
7:27 am

I will admit that I took great pleasure in the whole incident in which Oprah endorsed James Frye's book on addiction (A Million Little Pieces) and then it was revealed that most of what Frye wrote was a lie. Yes, I am evil.

Nef
hi stid. How are you doing? Volunteering?? what's going on?
2:33 pm
stidmama
I took today "off" from subbing, Nef, so I could observe a friend's resource room and meet with a man who has developed a wonderful remedial reading program. He is also giving a presentation at the staff meeting so I will go to that as well. I am applying to a job as well, so spending a little time on the resume and letter of interest today.
2:35 pm
Nef
that sounds good! When I asked what was going on; I was wondering if the school was having a special event (ie: science fair, lyceum, etc). I did ssound very nosy after I re-read that. :-)
2:36 pm
stidmama
LOL no problem -- I have friends at that school, so I often go volunteer there when I need to recharge and do a reality check on teaching practice and such.
2:37 pm
Nef
how come defur isn't a word? We have to defur the cat (using one of those weird defurring combs) so that my allergies don't flare
2:38 pm
Nef
that's nice you can do that, stid. Sounds like it's something you enjoy doing too. :-)
2:38 pm
stidmama
yep. I thought the same thing. Okay, need to go call the school I am applying to -- ask if they want me to drop a current resume and such by tomorrow, or if I should just stick with the online system...
2:38 pm
stidmama
I do enjoy my neighborhood school -- wish I had been able to get the job there (short commute) but it's probably better for me to be out of my comfort zone a little while longer. I still have a lot to learn, and don't want to get in a rut.
2:40 pm
stidmama
back in a few.
2:42 pm
Nef
having been raised by a teacher (well, actually County Supt. of Schools); subbing is a great way to start out to learn how to teach in different styles
2:47 pm
HarryHood
5 left! bbl to figure them out, hopefully....tough grid!
2:58 pm
stidmama
back... I called the district (it's a K-12 school) and tomorrow I will wander by with my resume and letter of interest in hand. I think... maybe my enthusiasm and reaching out in this way will give me a foot in the door. And if I like the school I can add it to my subbing list if I don't get the job... just in case!
2:59 pm
stidmama
and yes, I have subbed for many different grades and teachers now so I have a bigger repertoire of ideas and strategies. I feel much more confident when I walk into a new classroom these days.

Good Ivesy. I'm so glad to hear that.
Nef, it's a brand of chicken. You may not have it in

i dont kid myself i know he can slip at any time, but i have learned to accept the way things are.

My son was heavy into drugs in his late teens; I used Alanon at the time and then he had a car accident; was arrested for violating parole and sent to prison. He should have gone to minimum security, but it was full at the time and he was sent to maximum security at age 21. It scared him straight! He's now 33 and still has the felony charges on his record; but he's been clean ever since
5:20 pm
Nef
My heart broke at the time; but looking back, it was the best thing in the world for him (maximum security. Tough love is hard; but very necessary at times
5:21 pm
ivesy3
so u know what its like. ty for sharing.. its a livng hell but yes tuf love is hard. but mine knows, drugs and no mom... clean , i will give him support, but no money... just food... i didnt think i would survive this last time we are tougher than we think
5:26 pm
MollyL
Ivesy, I've had several family members go through this same dance with addiction. I know how heart breaking it can be. I think it is hardest on the parents. Bless you darlin'.
5:28 pm
ivesy3
aww thks molly.. i have learned so much.. drug addicts dont care about family, only drugs. its all lies to get drugs. the online group im with is amazing. . and yes its the parents who are hurt
5:29 pm
MollyL
I've seen the hurt of spouses and children, but the raw hurt of the parents is what always gets to me the most.
5:30 pm
ivesy3
becuz we always think we can help with one last try. but we cant.. and until i understood that, i was killing myself. now i know its up to jason. and only him. still hurts, but im better

Glad to hear you have a handle on things Ivesy. I will keep you and Jason in my prayers.

6:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I work with a lot of young people who are recovering from drug addiction- and their families- it's nice to see kids get better, and it sometimes happens. A lot of heartbreak along the way.
6:32 pm
MollyL
I'm glad you are there to help Kap.
6:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
sometimes love isn't enough. It's very moving when the young adults talk about what they did to their families, and how grateful they are for their love
6:35 pm
MollyL
That is the complicated part. So many of us think that "love heals all wounds". But in the case of addiction, sadly, love can get in the way.
6:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
There is a great stigma about addictions- the idea that people choose their path and deserve their fate- but the reality is so much more complicated.
6:38 pm
Nef
it's so hard to learn that sometimes the best love is saying No. I've always tried to help my kids; to make them responsible for their own actions is very hard
6:38 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am glad finally to be working with a group of clinicians who don't hold punitive attitudes and negative stereotypes
6:39 pm
MollyL
While I believe that addiction is a disease, a disorder, a mis-wiring of the brain (call it what you want) I do believe that it's a choice every time they use.
6:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Just came home from a parent-teacher conference- I I left my stupid purse in the advisodaughter's advisor's office
6:40 pm
Nef
My family had a lot of alcoholics in the older generations, knowing that I should have been more aware of my son's using. But at the time I knew nothing about drugs or what to look for.
6:40 pm
Nef
oh, no, Kap! DO you have to go back now?
6:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It is arguable that it is a disease (what is a disease?), and here is the "choice" debate again--
6:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I can't -it's closed
6:42 pm
MollyL
If there were no choice involved, there would be no alcoholics and addicts in recovery. They choose to use or they choose to stay clean.
6:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Like I said this morning, some have greater mental health and life circumstances that help them with their choices. There but for fortune go you or I!
6:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I wish it were that simple Molly. We might have to agree to disagree here.

Marc Freeman
Good evening, could some one give me the first two letters of the 8 and the 5 7's, please?
6:46 pm

I will agree to disagree. I just don't think people have to live their lives as victims, being held captive by what happened to them in their past. There is always the choice to thrive.

ah, did you like that? was talking about it with friend last night, wondering how it would play for folks who hadn't read the book. btw, I saw it too and thought it was marvelous... very rare when I've read a book and liked it, to like the film too

oh molly, i could just cry. i told my sister i want my mommy to come take care of me... she reminded me that the mommy when I was a kid and she's not the same anymore... last time she came to "help" when I was sick it was a disaster

thanks doren -- I sort of hope I really do get it -- will be small class sizes, a stable population (high poverty but a lot of the rural schools are) and a nice mix of "old and new" teachers.

well, 7th can be tricky, but so can 5th! LOL

these days we can't be too picky... unfortunate that gas is so expensive, but long rides can be rewarding to some extent. play nice classical music on your way home and decompress, by the time you get home the craziness of the day is gone and you're ready to make dinner and deal with the home stuff
7:31 pm
Dorens
oh my molly... you really know how to make me happy
7:31 pm
stidmama
I really enjoy 6th graders, too. But except for my joint problems that make the littlest kids really hard I don't know that there is an age limit for me. I find each age interesting and challenging to teach.
7:32 pm
stidmama
Exactly, doren -- an hour's drive through a rural area is pretty good for decompressing. I have done longer drives in less favorable circumstances, for sure!
7:32 pm
Dorens
you are rare stid... most teachers i know can only handle elementary or middle school, and always wonder how their counterparts have the patience to deal with the kids they have
7:33 pm
Dorens
i personally don't have the patience for little kids anymore. I mean, i'm fine with them in my capacity as counselor, but couldn't deal with first grade all day long... would make me perfectly insane!
7:33 pm
stidmama
maybe that will be a selling point -- I have endorsements that actually make me eligible to teach at almost any grade level... I can teach all content areas through grade 8 if it's an "elementary" setting.
7:34 pm
Dorens
that will help, but your major selling point is yourself, your personality and attitude!
7:34 pm
stidmama
that said... I would not mind just focusing on the middle school kids. They need people who are too tough to scare off, who won't give up on them. And I am hard to scare.
7:35 pm
stidmama
why oh why do I keep trying aecia?
7:35 pm
Dorens
I would love to see you in my school. I think (from what i've seen here) that you have the makings of a remarkable teacher. But then again, from what people see here, they think i must be a marvelous counselor, and there are teachers in my school who would certainly differ with them!

yep. right now, my big question is: include references in the resume or not? they are actually duplicated from the references that are at the consortium where the official application was submitted.
8:02 pm
Dorens
thanks owl (didn't have it).. but for some reason i've never liked or4 and i don't know why
8:03 pm
kje
dorens.... only way to get food how you want it is to make it yourself... you should know that by now ; )

8:04 pm

thanks LA -- I think I will take them out for now then.
8:04 pm

agree with LA, and you can always put in one line saing references available upon request (which is usually more than enough)

this is not the wine guy. this is a guy who doesn't drink at all (recovery, blah blah blah) and he doesn't cook all that often, i have to shame him into it. We have been together on and off for twenty years. he has his good points, to be sure, but some big problems as well. unfortunately, i love the big hunk
8:07 pm
kje
love is the best drug of all ; )
8:08 pm

but yes mag, it is wonderful to have a man who cooks. just grumpily wish he did it more often, but uses my recipes. aren't i a b***h?

it is just the promise of soup, which couldn't materialize until past midnight. and i have had this cold since last friday, today is the first i have heard about soup, and the first time he's cooked (again, had to shame him into it) But then again, we are dealing with his peripheral neuropathy which is kind of extreme and very troubling right now

I am struggling with wording... doren should I briefly list some of the units I taught in 5th and 7th grades in this resume?
8:11 pm
Dorens
he needs better medical care... it's a long complicated story.
8:11 pm
stidmama
cross, you could freeze it, and ship it to doren overnight express and she could have the soup for breakfast...
8:12 pm

lol stidmama
8:12 pm
kje
but she wants chicken! with dill!!!
8:12 pm
Dorens
two schools of thought there stid... i personally like a one page resume... if you have the interview already, then you can get that stuff in at that time??
8:12 pm
kje
or she'll b*tch again
8:12 pm
Dorens
kj understands!!
8:12 pm
kje
if I was there I'd make that recipe for you, doren... it looked good
8:12 pm
Dorens
and I have the dill in my frig.. that's how much i want it. i dragged my sick body to the store on monday and bought beautiful fresh baby dill
8:13 pm
stidmama
I can do it in one page -- don't have an interview yet. Want to showcase myself as best as possible, since a long-term sub is now in the job and is listed on the school webpage (possibly a not good sign for me)
8:13 pm
kje
and a 1 page resume in my field is unheard of
8:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
stid, your college shouldoffer its serviceson resume writing
8:13 pm
kje
man, frsh dill is wonderful... almost as good as fresh tarragon
8:13 pm
Dorens
i'm going to show it to him and see if he'll at least incorporate some of the ingredients in his... seems fair
8:13 pm
stidmama
well, as a beginning teacher (but lots of volunteer experience) I have a somewhat short resume on the accomplishments side
8:14 pm
stidmama
TO, not enough time to mess with undergrads trying to grasp the nuances of fluency vs. comprehension in a literacy text (tried them before)
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
they specilize in just out of school - and you have been subbing
8:14 pm
kje
is that one page resume really feasible anywhere... once you reach our age?
8:14 pm
Dorens
your field is kinda different from teaching... and yes, then stid, put it in if it fits in one page
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
my they do not have dedicated career counselors>!
8:14 pm
stidmama
does sound like a good idea, doren -- maybe if you show him the ingredients he will find it easier to make soup that makes you feel pampered
8:14 pm
Dorens
this resume doesn't need to include other work experience, k, they just want to know about teaching i think
8:15 pm
kje
pe6????? please????
8:15 pm
kje
don't make me whine!
8:15 pm

one page resume's are a big thing, unfortunately curriculum vita don't fit that bill

oh molly this opens a long long dialogue
8:28 pm
kje
well, that za is weird
8:28 pm
MollyL
It used to be a long dialogue for me. It's not any more. Don't settle for less than you are worth. That has become my mantra.
8:28 pm
Dorens
haha LA, you understand too> But not just any soup

*thinking of a man to send to doren's door with dill chicken soup*
8:29 pm
Dorens
molly, are you my age? experience changes perspective
8:30 pm
Dorens
Lol (literally) at KJE
8:30 pm
LeslieAnn
hiya jen
8:30 pm
MollyL
I'm younger than you Doren and have had plenty of experience.

JenMO16
hi leslteann!
8:31 pm
kje
right now, I'd settle for a man who could fix my heat.... blowing cold air, had to shut it off, and getting down to a chilly 30 tonight
8:31 pm
Dorens
everything can be looked at more than one way. what is the difference between settling and accepting one's imperfections (cause i'm sure not perfect myself and this man knows all my stuff and sees me at my worst and still truly loves me)
8:31 pm
kje
though... a down comforter is almost as good and much less trouble
8:32 pm
Dorens
and warm pj's
8:32 pm
MollyL
*Votes for the down comforter*
8:33 pm
Dorens
i don't mean have you had experience molly, and dyou have shown yourself to be a wise woman more than once. but i mean that my perspective has changed with each decade or so... and not sure right now what is settling and what is being accepting of the one I love
8:33 pm
LeslieAnn
nice work kje!
8:33 pm
stidmama
YAY kje!
8:33 pm
Dorens
yay kayjay
8:33 pm
lbdawger
whooo hoooo KJE!!
8:33 pm
MollyL
It is a conversation best not had here Doren. I did my time with the "man in recovery" who "wasn't as good to me as I was to him". I don't plan on doing that again, ever.
8:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
wtg kje!
8:34 pm
Dorens
and i've been struggling with this for far too long.. yet I am much happier with him than i am without, that's for sure
8:34 pm
stidmama
got the resume done, working on the cover letter and reference list... *sigh* and feeling more and more anxious. Glad I took tomorrow off. Glad I have plenty of work lined up for this month... Glad that when I am done with this task it will be ready to go at any time.
8:34 pm
kje
there is no such thing as perfect... it isn't settling to see someone's faults and still love them (or else, I'm in a lot of trouble)
8:34 pm
LeslieAnn
i hate resumes and such, stid. i would rather just let my work speak for itself, unfortunately that doesn't work for potential jobs
8:34 pm

re6/30#1 pl?
8:34 pm
kje
stid... you are awesome, and they'd be lucky to get you
8:35 pm
Dorens
ok molly. i see your point. well, he is very very good to me "within his limitations" and far more giving in his way than i am .. at least currently
8:35 pm
stidmama
hi tor, hi all... and that's my problem LA -- people I have worked with, by and large, really seem to be supportive and affirming. But I have to get to working first! LOL

8:37 pm
kje
for some reason this one crawled for me at the end too, TO... but may have been b/c I got annoyed with it all
8:37 pm
stidmama
well -- I am at my core an insecure person who feels inadequate at almost every task. Which I am intellectually aware doesn't make sense, but which I struggle against.
8:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
final re5/10pls?
8:37 pm
LeslieAnn
i think it is hard for someone modest like stiddy to "sell" herself, dorens
8:37 pm
stidmama
but thanks, doren -- because I highly value your opinion!
8:38 pm
lbdawger
Stid, you have a lot going for you, and you need to express that in your cover letter as well as in your interview. You know a lot about special need kids as well as your specialty in reading. don't short change yourself!

The only thing I can remember is wine stuff.
9:14 pm
lbdawger
going to read your letter now, stid
9:15 pm
Dorens
but you remember so much of it, and i barely remember the names of what i like. (but ohhhh the 89 beaucastel was glorious!)
9:15 pm
rururocks
that was WIne of the Year in the Spectator
9:16 pm
rururocks
That's a really nice beaucastel
9:16 pm
Dorens
many of his wines were wines of the year... he often stated it proudly. but i liked that better than all his cal. cabs which he preferred. i really think he should give me all the beaucastels... they will be bad soon, what a waste
9:16 pm
rururocks
a friend sent me a listing of a friends cellar and I wrote about every wine in it and blew them away.. they couldn't believe I knew about every single one of them
9:17 pm
Dorens
and the gevry chambertin.. beaune, he has bunches of very old burgundies that need to be drunk up
9:17 pm
rururocks
yeahh.. he should give you ALL of his French Wine
9:17 pm
Dorens
you are rather impressive
9:17 pm
Dorens
i bet he's barely drunk any of them.. and they will go to waste. shame
9:17 pm
LeslieAnn
clues before i go?
9:18 pm
Dorens
about 26 of them please
9:18 pm
rururocks
tell him.. that if he clears out that Burgundy that he doesn't drink .. he'll have more room for his trophy california cabs
9:18 pm
rururocks
AND. .. you'll think much better of him going forward
9:18 pm
negativeneil
Phone app, magazinemom? Is there one available for the Android?
9:19 pm
Dorens
hah. good one. but i haven't spoken to him in a while, and it would seem so awkward (and obviously grunging, if you know what i mean)
9:19 pm
rururocks
yeah.. i guess it would.
9:20 pm
Dorens
might hint it to his daughter next time i see her
9:20 pm
rururocks
good idea
9:20 pm
rururocks
go through the kids
9:21 pm
rururocks
tell her that you've loved the older wines now that they are ready to drink and you like your wines like men Mature and open
9:21 pm
Dorens
which kids? his daughter is the one of his kids who lives locally and i see.... and my kids have nothing to do with him anymore
9:22 pm
Dorens
hahaha... that's a great line.
9:22 pm
magazinemom
neil- not sure about that. I have an iPhone
9:23 pm
Dorens
she knew i always liked the french ones better... we had dinner together every sunday nite and i frequently reminded him that we needed to drink them, as he said they only had a couple of years left. and i always swooned over them. even if i couldn't see the bottle, i knew
9:23 pm
lbdawger
Stiddy, letter coming back atcha! one comment on the letter.
9:24 pm
Dorens
who knew babble could match up a professional resume writer with a hesitant resume needer?
9:24 pm
rururocks
okay.. it's lasagne time.. Pours glass of Pinot.
9:25 pm
Dorens
mmmm (wishing i could sample both)
9:26 pm
rururocks
tata for now kiddies.... tell Ken Doren that you have a professional friend in the wine biz and he recommends finding a welcoming home for all those burgundies he doesn't enjoy.. it's better to keep things you like to drink around the house ..
9:26 pm
lbdawger
babble is an amazing place! anything can happen here.
9:26 pm
rururocks
does babble exist ?
9:26 pm
Dorens
who knows ru? maybe the new chick likes them too?
9:26 pm
lbdawger
in our hearts and minds, ru
9:27 pm
lbdawger
bon apetit
9:27 pm
rururocks
I am sure she likes diet Pepsi
9:27 pm
Dorens
hah! i like that thought
9:28 pm
rururocks
he's a fool.. a total fool..
9:28 pm
lbdawger
his loss in many ways
9:29 pm
magazinemom
If "enable" met my dog, they would know that "defur" is a word.
9:29 pm
rururocks
I mean.. what are they going to talk about Charlie Sheen's movies ?
9:29 pm
Dorens
i'm better off without him. remember that. the best thing about him was the wine, and the vacations, and the certain dinners out at restaurants three times a week. and his sunday dinners (loved his daughter and the grandkids)
9:30 pm
rururocks
okay.. that's saves it.
9:30 pm
Dorens
did i ever tell you she is an md?
9:30 pm
rururocks
.. okay.. Charlie Sheen's medical movies...
9:30 pm
Dorens
literally lol once again
9:31 pm
rururocks
hugs doren.. he's missing out.
9:32 pm
Dorens
but when we went out to dinner we were like those pathetic couples who sit there and have nothing to say to each other. i couldn't believe it.
9:32 pm
rururocks
bye for now
9:32 pm
Dorens
enjoy that lasagne!
9:32 pm
rururocks
oh.. then it's good you dumped him.. ...
9:32 pm
rururocks
it smeeeeeeeeelllls fabu
9:33 pm
Dorens
my nose is broke... can't smell it at all
9:34 pm
rururocks
you'd like this wine.. 2009 Walter Hansel Pinot Noir Cahill Lane.. $39..
9:35 pm
rururocks
it's a WOW wine
9:39 pm
Dorens

9:41 pm
lbdawger

9:45 pm
stidmama

9:46 pm
Dorens

9:46 pm
stidmama
It was a good comment, LBD! LOL I got inspiration and remembered I had to include the whole "I love literacy" concept as well. So I did. That's all... really...

9:46 pm
renfield

9:51 pm
renfield
we could play carbon paper games during a sleep over
9:51 pm
Bugsaw
I took carbonpaper to school and the kids had SUCH fun with it. They could not imagine something so much fun that did not require electricity!
9:51 pm
stidmama
I remember trying to make corrections on both the original and the carbon copies!
9:52 pm
Dorens
i did for papers in college. but was using computers by the time i was in grad school
9:52 pm
lbdawger
typing erasers...glorified pumice stones!
