I seem to be having one of those days online; my monkeys are closing windows, clicking on stupid ads, typing where they shouldn't, etc. I may have to do housework instead of babbling today! I've had my grandson a lot lately and don't play while he's here; so was looking forward to playing today.

10:38 am
cybernan
molly - I get most of them with my monkeys counting points
10:39 am
cybernan

10:39 am
cybernan
It makes me wonder if enable is like wikipedia -- anyone can add words!
10:44 am
cybernan
2nd ti 5/10?
10:44 am
MollyL
You know Nan, that would make sense, in so many ways. : )
10:46 am
MollyL
Flip the last two letters of the first ti5/10

No, that was the 3rd, sorry

11:15 am
Scrabbler
I must get him litter box trained. I let him loose in his room last night and he dropped "raisins" everywhere. Naughty boy.
11:15 am
Scrabbler
The bunnies each have their own room. Bunnies are territorial and is is challenging to "bond" bunnies.
11:16 am

11:17 am
Aloyisius

11:24 am
Aloyisius

11:25 am
Scrabbler
I had to type and enter dr7 4 times before it was accepted.
11:25 am

<---loves living out in the country
11:40 am
Nef
so, is it a decent neighborhood and was his roommate not street smart or ???
11:40 am
jmcnrick
hey they mug people in the country too it is just fewer because there are fewer people
11:40 am
Scrabbler
True. There are creeps out here.
11:41 am
jmcnrick
i worry more in the country because it is so far to the nearest help
11:42 am
Scrabbler
Yes, more isolation.
11:42 am
jmcnrick
it is a marginal neighborhood but not unlike what i lived in at his age--and his roommate is not street smart
11:43 am
jmcnrick
it took me 2 months to be able to sleep without all the lights on in the mountains when i am *at* school
11:43 am
Scrabbler
So where is roommate going?
11:43 am
Nef
I've always tried to know our neighbors because I feel that neighbors who know one another are more likely to call if somethign suspicious is going on
11:43 am
gemini_J13
unfortunately,,,,, we are probably going to see more crime everywhere........
11:43 am
jmcnrick
roommate is going to home: philly!
11:44 am
jmcnrick
yes recessions do tend to increase crime
11:44 am
Scrabbler
Hi gemini. Yes, economic troubles AND opiate addicts want money.
11:44 am
Scrabbler
Philly. Crime-free city. Not.
11:44 am
jmcnrick
i know all my neighbors and already know a couple of boy's neighbors for just that reason
11:45 am

65 left here. I'm trying not to eat right now for another hour and all I can do is think of food (forgot to do my blood sugar this AM before bkfst)
11:50 am
jmcnrick
trying not to eat will always mean thinking about food
11:50 am
jmcnrick
try to babble and for not eating
11:51 am
Nef
isn't that the truth?? I'm trying to babble to distract myself, but think I see food words here too!
11:52 am
rastapopolous
yes - for instance that m4 that I was just wondering when did the abbreviation start counting as a real word
11:52 am
Nef
agreed, rasta!
11:53 am
Scrabbler
as in a sandwich condiment?
11:53 am
rastapopolous
yes, that one
11:54 am
rastapopolous
without the ending, isn't it just a clinic in Minnesota?
11:54 am
Nef
yes, and a proper name too
11:56 am

11:58 am
suefrad625
I see nothing in this grid after 83 words
11:58 am
Scrabbler
Delirious and in need of a nap.

12:01 pm

I will be done by 4:30 today then go home and crash.
12:01 pm
suefrad625
86 hitting the wall and falling over into a nap
12:01 pm
Nef
YUK, Scrabs. If you had calls in that last 3 hours, how did you function? I've had some pretty funny responses from Docs through the years with long weekend calls
12:02 pm
suefrad625
ok scrabbler, you win, take my bed
12:02 pm
suefrad625
nice 3" magic foam topper
12:02 pm
EvaNadine
i cant imagine! i understand the concept of continuity-of-care, but that just seems unsafe and unhealthy.
hope you make it without any serious cases!
12:03 pm
Scrabbler
I slept well Fri and Sat nights but last night my brain was so overstimulated from so many phone calls yesterday. And each call needs an on-call note placed in the chart.
12:03 pm
mixi6
63 hours on, is abuse of your system.
12:04 pm
EvaNadine
if anyone has earned a good, long nap, its you!
12:04 pm
Scrabbler
It is sick season so parents are calling about fever and cough. And calls about constipation are year-round.
12:04 pm
Scrabbler
Go mixi!
12:05 pm
Nef
I worked in ICU for 34 yrs; one time I called the heart surgeon and asked if I could start another IV drug on a pt. and he said to me "how will you hold up all those bottles?" I told him he wasn't awake and he should hang up and I'd call again in 5 minutes. He was awake and mad when I did call back 5 minutes later! :-)
12:06 pm
Nef
but I got my order; and he remembered it the next AM!
12:06 pm
Nef
(oh,, yeah, the patient got better too)
12:07 pm
Scrabbler
I recall having many difficult times of sleep deprivation during residency--being awake for 34 hrs. Ugggggh.
12:07 pm
rastapopolous
can I get stats on those h's? I'm mystified.
12:07 pm
Nef
I still think that that is inhumane and unsafe though
12:07 pm
Scrabbler
h + double vowel + consonant; then pluralize
12:07 pm
Nef
ha4/5; stupid laughs
12:08 pm

12:08 pm
dianedecoder
I meant ha 4/5 for the first one ... sorry
12:08 pm
rastapopolous
ah - thanks! I tried those double vowels but went the wrong way. Now I see.
12:09 pm
Scrabbler
ivesy, that is one of my 9 missing C words
12:09 pm

how is your little toe?
7:11 pm
stidmama
it went well. It is my friend's class and I often volunteer there so we all know each other pretty well. I enjoy working with them. And the lesson I had planned (with Min's help) worked VERY well. First one I have written since I got out of school.
7:11 pm

YAY for you stiddy, glad it went well
7:11 pm
stidmama
It hurts peri, was totally black by morning, but nothing to do but suck it up and keep going... I was NOT going to miss this chance at two days in a row! :-)
7:12 pm
stidmama
I will have plenty of time Wednesday to sit and rest.
7:13 pm
stidgmere
So what happened to the toe that I was not informed until reading the chat? I have been working on the grid for 10 minutes quietly minding my own business.
7:13 pm
stidmama
*hides from stern stidgmere look*
7:13 pm
stidgmere
Yes, peri, uh oh.
7:14 pm
stidgmere
If mama has stern look, she inherited it from gmere.
7:15 pm
stidmama
Well, the special ed teacher next door believes the story should go something like this: there I was, minding my own business, waiting my turn in line for the motocross... when all of a sudden this HUGE BMXer missed his landing and did a perfect one-point on my pinky toe.
7:15 pm
stidmama
The real story is considerably less interesting and involves carrying something, trying to walk around the dog and not noticing the other object on the floor.
7:15 pm
stidgmere
You been at X games?
7:16 pm
stidmama
If only, Mother! LOL
7:16 pm

don't make me laugh... it ouches. :-(
7:16 pm
stidgmere
Oh, dogs. What can we do? Suspend them from the ceiling on pulleys?
7:17 pm
stidmama
Of course, it wasn't his fault. He was just getting up when I did, the polite thing to do!
7:17 pm
stidmama
Don't tell Dad... or do tell him but pick an okay moment.
7:18 pm
lbdawger
poor stiddy
7:18 pm
stidgmere
Might just wait for toe to heal.
7:19 pm
stidmama
It's clearly broken, but not much that can be done. Ice, rest, anti-inflammatories, buddy taping. Consulted Scrabs and other medic-types as soon as it happened.
7:19 pm
lbdawger
elevate when you can to keep any swelling down.
7:19 pm
stidgmere
What shoes can you wear now?
7:20 pm
stidmama
Well, with some effort the Keens. Anything else is too tight. THEY are too tight, but the largest toe-box I own. Might go shopping Wednesday to find something a little more comfortable. Will be in middle school later this week.
7:20 pm
stidmama
yes LBD, will be VERY good tomorrow. Was not today, and paying for it now.

7:25 pm

look for a sale, stid, they aren't cheep
7:25 pm
stidgmere
Yes. Rest after work for sure. Meanwhile is your foot up?
7:26 pm
stidmama
not sure they would be wide enough, kje. I start at triple W... wear size 8 W nowadays to accommodate the toes normally, but that's about 2 sizes too long.
7:26 pm
stidmama
Foot is up. Might need to drive stidkid to his evening gig, but hoping Tom will be home in time.
7:26 pm
stidmama
I will definitely look for a sale, kje, but of course the silly toe didn't!
7:27 pm
kje
toes can be rude that way
7:29 pm

Stid, the Cobbie Cuddlers Gita is a very comfortable, slide on shoe that worked well for me when I had a broken toe.

I am sorry she has been unwell -- I didn't know! *sending get well vibes to daughter*
8:29 pm

aw thanks stiddie! Yes, a hidden pneumonia. She got over it all by herself, so that was great. But it took a lot out of her. combined with aftermath of mono... she was looking like a raccoon and so very tired.

ok, see you later or some day soon, peri
8:30 pm
stidmama
sprite, are you reading or doing anything interesting just for yourself these days?
8:32 pm
sprite
hardly, stiddie. She needs a LOT of attention and care. But she started with a few hours at school this week again, and now I can finally get some things done in da house. I hope for a bit of me-time soon.
8:33 pm
stidmama
Good. Me time is important, for sure! I am going to take some me time next week, and go through the office to get my workbench useable again. I have to replace all my pretty gel pens...
8:34 pm
stidmama
I hope that your daughter isn't too far behind the others in school, sprite, and that she doesn't feel pressure to get all caught up too fast.
8:34 pm
sprite
me time is essential :) Glad you are taking some!
8:35 pm
sprite
she feels a lot of pressure, but that is all her. Neither we nor school is pressuring her. I think she is learning a very important lesson now... to listen to her body and to let go of perfectionism. She is so smart, she always has super grades. Now she must learn that average grades are ok if you are not feeling well.
8:36 pm
stidmama
very true, sprite -- and people know the difference between someone who can't ever and someone who is temporarily out of their normal patterns. Learning to listen to our bodies is hard (as with me today not using the crutches...) but important.
8:37 pm
sprite
she got ill in November. So the Xmas break was part of the sick time... she should be ok with catching up without too much effort. And for now, no catching up allowed. Just building up to a full roster is enough.
8:37 pm
stidmama
oh no! that is a LONG time to be sick -- and to be caring for someone who is ill. **gentle hugs to sprite family**
8:37 pm
sprite
oh I know! I am not very good at it either. But as long as she is getting better, I am content. I have been a very worried mum.
8:39 pm
sprite
the school is awesome. They told her very clear that her job was to get better. That she will go to the next class (3rd) for VWO (highest level) even if her grades don't show that at the end of the year. As long as she is reasonably current with all the information.
8:39 pm
stidmama
I am down to your age, sprite! :-) listless and only a couple inadvertent clues (and the top O which was hiding).
8:40 pm
stidmama
Wow, that is VERY nice for the school. I hope that she is able to get current, she should since there are several months left.
8:40 pm
sprite
woooot stiddie, well done! Ah, that O is the name of a babbler from the very first hour of babble... I always look for it when I see the letters are there :D
8:41 pm
stidmama
yes! and it's a lovely stone, just not one that was making visual sense today.
8:42 pm
sprite
she will be current. She is very smart. She figured out the math she missed by taking the questions and the answers and working back from the answer through the method. She'll be fine.
8:42 pm
stidmama
:-D brilliant, like her mom.
8:43 pm
sprite
the motto of the school is: "because you want more". They really live by it. They set the goals high, but they also take into consideration that they work with adolescents and that their growing up is a lot more than just schoolwork.
8:44 pm
sprite
lol, stiddie, I swear that kid is smarter than me. Lots.
8:46 pm
stidmama
my kids are NOT brilliant. In fact, I swear their brains are rusted out. Stidkid #2 who lost ALL his last two vacations, has at least three items NOT TURNED IN that were due this past week. *steamed mama look* I just checked.
8:47 pm
sprite
argh, that is SO frustrating. They may be smart, but they still lack common sense. A teenager brain is a miraculous thing!
8:48 pm
stidmama
indeed it is, sprite. Was reading in the last October National Geographic about some of the latest neurology done on teen brains. They are nearly a different species. *sigh* A less put-together species.

my husband and I took a course about teenager brains and behaviour. And we are still glad we did. It is so good to know how things work for them (or not!). They simply cannot consider any longterm consequences. And sometimes they just DO something, without any thought.
8:50 pm
stidmama
yep. that's is VERY true. But no less dangerous or destructive. It is a very hazardous time for all of us who are involved with teens.

And so do a lot of adults sprite :-) Hi everyone.
8:50 pm
stidmama
hey origami
8:51 pm
sprite
hi origami! Yes, that is true, lol. But for teenagers it is standard behaviour.
8:51 pm
origami
I read that National Geographic piece as well ... It was pretty interesting
8:52 pm

The teen years are something I wouldn't want to revisit on either side of the equation ... tough all around.
8:52 pm
sprite
we will have to have faith... most teenagers grow up and become adults without too much damage... *prays*
8:53 pm
sprite
amen to that, origami

stidmama
It's actually oldish news, but it was a well-written article. Comes down to trying to scaffold their environment so they can test boundaries and their abilities without being placed too much in danger. But it's hard to judge what is enough and what is too much sometimes, especially since what is right for some (or even most) is not right for all.
8:53 pm
stidmama
indeed, origami. I will be SO GLAD when we are through this age in our family and on the other side.
8:55 pm
sprite
indeed, stiddie. My guideline is: in case of doubt, be strict... and really bad behaviour means taking away privileges. For the rest: lots of love, lots of talk, and trying to do some stuff together still.

teen brains dont always have an off switch. often times it's stuck in the on position until it runs down.
8:55 pm
sprite
so very true, dawg, and hi!
8:55 pm

then you add in hormones!!! argh!!
8:56 pm

Yeah, there's that balancing act between letting things go and sticking to your guns.
8:56 pm

hi again, stiddy. I take it Tom took stidkid2 to his gig?
8:56 pm
rururocks
*let's hear it for hormones*
8:57 pm
stidmama
*sigh* and then there are those whose brains never mature.
8:57 pm
sprite
sometimes I really doubt myself when I am strict, but when the dust settles down, there is something in my son that seems to have found some peace.
8:58 pm
sprite
hi ruru, lolllll, though at their age they are hormoans!
8:58 pm
lbdawger
we have to learn about consequences sometime in our lives, and learning from our parents really is the kindest way...loss of privileges...minor in the grander scheme of things
8:58 pm
sprite
fireflies!
8:59 pm
stidmama
yes, he did. Got here late because he rescued stidkid #1. I have to have another talk with Tom about letting the kid learn to arrange his own transportation. People are being so understanding about how hard it is to get around without an automobile. The kid has a bicycle, there are buses that take him with a half mile of most things, and if he can walk 16 miles through snow more than a foot deep in the middle of the night he can bloody well ride a bicycle in the rain when it is well above 40 F. *folds mama arms in a huff*
8:59 pm
stidmama
YAY spritely!
8:59 pm
lbdawger
whooooo hoooooo SPRITE!!
8:59 pm
sprite
that is exactly it, dawg. Better they learn now, from us, than later in life from less forgiving people and circumstances.
9:00 pm
sprite
I am totally with you, stid. About time he learns.
9:00 pm
lbdawger
i think stiddy needs to have this consequence talk with Tom. LOL

yeah... I love to sleep. I just can't.
9:06 pm
stidmama
sprite, I have terrible insomnia most nights. I keep my ipad with earplugs near the bed and listen to old time radio plays when I can't sleep. There is just enough to jolt my brain out of the bad waves and distract them into making pictures... so I sleep again.
9:06 pm
periwinkle
ty all
9:07 pm
stidmama
ordinarily I can't listen to a lot of stories on the radio, but when I need to sleep it works.
9:08 pm
Picklesny
140 in 2 hour is it possible?
9:08 pm
sprite
good idea, stiddie. I need silence to sleep, though... radio gets my panic hormones in overdrive. I usually can get to sleep by doing sudokus. Only now... I think I am just too tired. Sort of hyper energy to keep on going.
9:08 pm
stidmama
yes pickles, but you might want to list earlier than normal
9:08 pm
sprite
yes Pickles, I just did.
9:09 pm
stidmama
ah, then the thing to do is switch off the electronic light (which stimulates brain waves) and go back to old-fashioned reading. Or a nice warm bath. Or warm milk.
9:09 pm
stidmama
or all of the above.
9:10 pm
stidmama
(((sprite))) I hope that you will have a lovely day (today for you) and a very fine week. I'll look forward to the next round in words!

I jumped in because insominia and I are old friends, since ... well, as far back as I can remember. I use meditation, guided imagery tapes, the pre-sleep routines, dark room, temperature control... I've tried self-hypnosis, drugs, OTC, reading, logic puzzles, ... mmm
