it's funny, here the big holiday is Monday; in NY it was Good Friday.

3:56 am

flosey

seems odd here on the island, stores are open - don't know if they close one day or not

3:56 am

flosey

daughter has to work on Monday, just got today

3:57 am

rubyfoo

nobody works on Monday here

3:58 am

flosey

in Ontario, we had Friday and Monday off but then, I worked for the government

3:59 am

rubyfoo

and the French don't go to church. The little church in our village closed since we've been here, now only opens for the occasional funeral

4:00 am

flosey

must be a tiny one, is it?

4:00 am

rubyfoo

village has about 12,000

4:01 am

rubyfoo

and I had hoped there'd be a "blessing of the animals" here when we emirated

4:02 am

flosey

our entire island (I believe) is about 12,000

4:02 am

rubyfoo

it must be beautiful there!

4:03 am

flosey

was about 10,000 when we came about 17 years ago

4:03 am

flosey

it is beautiful Ruby

4:03 am

rubyfoo

how did you choose it?

4:03 am

flosey

we live in a farming community - very small farms by those I knew in Ontario

4:04 am

flosey

hubby was born and raised here - as was his Mom

4:04 am

rubyfoo

do they grow asparagus?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

that's a great reason!

4:05 am

flosey

we don't but some do, I think ours probably comes from Lower Mainland

4:05 am

flosey

I grew it in Ontario

4:05 am

flosey

hubby retired from teaching HS to become farmer

4:05 am

rubyfoo

it used to be you could only get local asparagus (Fr and Belgium) in May, but now they bring it from Sou. Amer. I wn't buy it off-season

4:06 am

rubyfoo

time to go! see you soon, flosey

4:06 am

rubyfoo

8:13 am

welki

i left a pretty colorful message on my mla's phone (and also sent an email) lambasting him for robo-calls during dinnertime, bedtime - anytime

8:14 am

crosshair

you register,put the number of the telemarketer in your list and if they call you after (its 30 or 90 days) then they can be held accountable

8:15 am

crosshair

and here,all telemarketing calls have a 7 second delay of dead air time at the start of the call,so if no one answers me after the second "hello" i hang up

yeah, but you have to enter a whole bunch of information every time you make a complaint against a particular number on the govt do not call registry

8:20 am

crosshair

watch at own risk,did not scan the clip that deeply for world and political correctness:)

8:20 am

hi Cross. We have those registers here too - only charity and market research calls come through.

8:23 am

crosshair

now,saying all the the job of being a telemarketer phone drone is nasty and would wish it on no one

8:24 am

welki

but - i'd feel bad blowing a whistle into somebody's ear - they're just trying to make a living. now, if i had the ear of the schmegeggie who owns the company......

8:24 am

lynxxx

Thats odd (or is it?) they are pushing life insurance heavily here as well.....which I feel is quite strange as everyone contributes to Superannuation now and it usually carries Death & permanent Disability as a matter of course

8:24 am

crosshair

but if i want insurance,believe me i know how to use a directory and find some

8:25 am

CiociaJudy

Right now I have one particular number that keeps calling and calling and calling. I've filed a complaint. It stops for a few weeks and starts up again.

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Now, I must dust this cave....bye dear babblers

8:35 am

crosshair

on a side note.we were in the habit of buying a 30 pack of individual bottles of water a week(costs around 3-5 dollars) but the plastic going into the recycle bin was just insane,so i got the mrs and i one of those new britta filtered water bottles(cost 10 dollars) the filter is good for 270 refills or 3 months..works amazing!

8:35 am

lynxxx

bye Annie

8:35 am

crosshair

yaa for annie!

8:35 am

crosshair

tc annie

8:35 am

bichon

crossy, that's been a staple at our house for years

8:36 am

crosshair

just got to the point of the plastic waste we were generating was bugging me

8:36 am

lynxxx

Yeah, I bought those for gym. We have the larger one in the fridge - but it does seem to go through the filters fairly fast

8:37 am

bichon

The water bottles are recycled and made into something else. Here in CT we pay a 5 cent deposit and if brought back to a store, we can get the 5 cents back

8:37 am

crosshair

i drink our tapwater just fine,but mrs and son seem to be hyper sensitive to the chlorine,flouride and other town water additives

8:37 am

bichon

Our filters last about 3 months.

8:38 am

crosshair

we do not get deposit refunds on stuff like that just on beer ,wine and booze bottles

8:38 am

crosshair

yes,ours run 3 months as well it says

8:38 am

bichon

I like to take the chlorine out. And, when using yeast for bread, it inhibits the growth of the yeast

8:38 am

crosshair

ahh,a tidbit for the tidbit man ty bichon

8:38 am

bichon

We only have deposits on water and carbonated beverage [including beer]

8:39 am

bichon

what is the sa 7, cow?

8:39 am

crosshair

i did not know that the chlorine in tap water was enough to inhibit yeast growth when baking..very interesting...

8:40 am

lynxxx

But the clorine in water has made such a huge difference in our childrens teeth

8:40 am

bichon

It probably would rise the bread, but not as well

8:40 am

bichon

The chlorine or the flouride lynxxx?

8:40 am

crosshair

well,it does,i bake all the time,but if i can make it better using filtered watrer...

8:41 am

bichon

Pregnant women and children should drink flouridated water

8:41 am

lynxxx

stupid me! the fluoride of course, the clorine just makes your hair green at the pool - sorry

8:41 am

crosshair

but you said it is the chlorine that inhibits the yeast?

8:41 am

bichon

One thing I noticed is never leave the Britta filtered water in direct sunlight. Algae will grow in it

8:41 am

crosshair

good to know

8:41 am

bichon

Yes, chlorine inhibits yeast, but not flouride

8:43 am

lynxxx

That makes sense...I have to treat tap water when I put it into the fish pond...to get neutralise the chemicals....but it does grow great alga at the start of spring!

8:44 am

crosshair

and it is now time for crossys quote of the day!!

8:44 am

crosshair

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it. -- John Keats

8:45 am

crosshair

(if you have ever wondered i have quotes on one computer,informational tidbits on the other) lol

8:45 am

lynxxx

True - and that must be the motto teenagers live by

8:47 am

crosshair

yup,i told my son to move out,get a job,get a house,find a good woman and get married while he still knew it all:0

8:47 am

lynxxx

how old is he now?

8:47 am

crosshair

18

8:48 am

lynxxx

just a few more years then

8:48 am

crosshair

lol,till he moves back in with the pregnant gf? lol

8:49 am

hopefully not - surely some of your words of wisdom have sunk in!

2:38 pm

lilliann

2:38 pm

2:39 pm

sammysmom

2:41 pm

lilliann

my real name is a hebrew name but i'm afraid i don't many hewbrew words...and i meant can you not just type them out like the last one...it' would be a lot quicker!! :) lol

bichon

that's okay sammy, we all do it

2:49 pm

lilliann

i think sometimes th chat goes a bit too quick so people can't keep up, i know i'm like that, plus i don't always get the clue given but instead of asking again too quickly i'll try and look for it

2:49 pm

lilliann

don't worry about it sammy, i'm glad of any clues however given :)

2:50 pm

MollyL

I don't know Lilliann. I saw the same thing happen last night. The second cluer was thanked and the first cluer responded "What, am I invisible?" It's not that hard to follow chat when you have asked for a clue.

2:51 pm

cybernan

any other clues wanted before I leave?

2:51 pm

lilliann

well, i've just re read back and was about to thank nan

2:51 pm

cybernan

yw everyone :)

2:51 pm

lilliann

ty nan, i wasn't ignoring your clue

2:51 pm

cybernan

I often miss the first clue given as well

2:52 pm

lilliann

too many nan, but thanks anyway :)

2:52 pm

ivesy3

i would be lost without the clues, i get half my words from them. ! and i thank everyone even if the person gives it after i have the word. lol

2:52 pm

bichon

ditto for me too.

2:53 pm

lilliann

it is ewhen there are loads of people talking at the same time as the chat moves really quickly and so can be missed!

2:53 pm

ivesy3

i have been on early in the morning after the flip and it goes so fast , hard to follow

2:53 pm

cybernan

lunch is ready - bye all :)

2:53 pm

hi liliann:)

2:55 pm

Flask1

people are so touchy, these days....if players don't want to clue then they won't.....they are not doing it for the praise....just to help fellow players along!

2:55 pm

bichon

ty lili

2:56 pm

zoom

i agree flask and i for one am always grateful:)

2:56 pm

ivesy3

i dont say anything in the early morning too wild and too much emotion .have seen people leave becuz they gave a clue and no one thanked them

2:57 pm

bichon

I find that most of the regulars will clue, if they can

2:57 pm

lilliann

yw bichon

2:57 pm

zoom

speaking of which....any clues for ac 7 &8 please?

2:57 pm

ivesy3

i kind of count on them bichon lol. hope they know i appreciate it.

2:58 pm

bichon

ac + **men noodle soup + continent

2:58 pm

lilliann

i'm happy to be thanked for giving a clue but i don't get upset if no-one does...

2:59 pm

Bugsaw

I agree with all these points. Sometimes when I ask for a clue it is because my brain is so focussed on solving it in one direction and sometimes all I need is to be told there are 2 of the same letter in the grid or that it is a compound word.

3:00 pm

zoom

ty bichon, never would have found that without the clue!

3:00 pm

Bugsaw

like Bichon's last clue here for the ac word. Hers is the first clue that made sense to me!

3:00 pm

lilliann

i'm the same bugs, especially when i've been playing for a few hours and really want to get finished...you just don't see the letters going the other way

3:02 pm

bichon

ty Bugs

3:03 pm

lilliann

that's why we are all different...some clues are easy for some people and some arent

3:04 pm

lilliann

also being from different countries around the world doesn't always help as we all have different sayings, words, meanings, tv programmes to clue off etc

3:04 pm

Bugsaw

I always worry that my clues don't make sense and feel grateful when someone else beats me to it

3:05 pm

Bugsaw

good point lilliann

3:05 pm

lilliann

i'm the same bugsaw

3:05 pm

bichon

there are some of us Babblers who are fantastic at Babble, and others, like myself, who are just mediocre. I'm always amazed when people say: down to my last 10, am stuck, think I'll list

3:05 pm

lbdawger

you both give wonderful clues!

3:06 pm

Bugsaw

hi lbd! and hi to all other lurkers too

3:06 pm

lilliann

i'm with you bichon...i'll list as early as i can

3:06 pm

lbdawger

and bichon, you are more than mediocre

3:06 pm

lilliann

hi lbd :)

3:06 pm

lbdawger

hi bugs, hi lilli

3:06 pm

Bugsaw

I am not very good either bichon but I love the personal challenge of this game

3:07 pm

bichon

I try to make it at least half way. and, then there are the clues people give here

3:07 pm

lilliann

i'll get as many words a s i can then i list

3:07 pm

sammysmom

me too bug. instead of starting at the a's and word forward/... i usually start at the end

3:08 pm

Bugsaw

also, I need to go away and come back fresh when my brain can't find any more words.

3:08 pm

Bugsaw

i will never be able to solve a grid in one sitting without a list

3:08 pm

o-o

I always start with the words I can find.

3:08 pm

bichon

I do this in steps. Also have to stop for needy dogs, hubby.

3:09 pm

Bugsaw

me too Babble Rabble

3:09 pm

lilliann

i just look at the grid and get the words i see straight away then i will look at the stats and find some more then instead of gerring myself worked up and spending all day playing babble even tho i enjoy the company here i will list and try and finish quickly

3:09 pm

ivesy3

i go thru the tile stats and try to find words. then i look at a list. if lickety is up i go thru that list then i send the words to the clues.. lol.. we all have so many different ways. but iwould be lost without a list

3:10 pm

Bugsaw

yes, please keep the lists coming!

3:11 pm

ivesy3

harder without lickety, but thankful for the list that people post.

3:11 pm

bichon

ha 6/21?

3:12 pm

bichon

I don't generally list when Lickety isn't up.

3:12 pm

dianedecoder

I was just going to comment on earlier chat... it helps to leave the grid and mop a few floors... come back to it, and "voila".... a bunch of words just seem to appear !!

3:15 pm

dianedecoder

worked for me :-)

3:15 pm

dianedecoder

Hi lilliann :-)

3:16 pm

ivesy3

i never sit and do the grid all at once.. too stressful. there is one person in the very early morning who gets them done so fast...a whiz

3:16 pm

Bugsaw

and me Diane

3:16 pm

lbdawger

i love reading how everyone attacks the grid differently. I'm too OCD to not start at the top and work my way thru.

3:16 pm

dianedecoder

I don't either, ivesy

3:17 pm

bichon

I always start at the top left, like reading

3:17 pm

dianedecoder

lol.... lbdawger... I do it the very same way !

3:17 pm

Deeha

Any help for le5.18w2ould be much appreciated!

lilliann

angry birds ivesy??

3:18 pm

ivesy3

game on facebook lil.. addicting

3:18 pm

lbdawger

i try to get at le5 half of each tile then move on, but sometimes it's just do my best. usually 3/4ths of the way before I list.

3:18 pm

lbdawger

uh oh, angry birds on facebook.

3:18 pm

lilliann

le5/8 is like the word for a blood sucking insect and more off deeha

3:18 pm

dianedecoder

Deeha... it's like a surname.... ***** & clark

3:18 pm

lilliann

*of

3:19 pm

lilliann

sorry deeha, wrong word

3:19 pm

3:19 pm

Bugsaw

I needed that one diane

3:20 pm

dianedecoder

I have 5 left :-) .... then I have to frost two birthday cakes !

3:20 pm

ivesy3

i find angry birds is good when one is mad.. get to fire the slingshot.. relieves tension

3:21 pm

lilliann

i'll have to try it ivesy but not been on fb for weeks

3:21 pm

viajes

hola

3:21 pm

dianedecoder

I saw a cute joke ivesy.... 4 growly looking birds sitting in a waiting room, and on the examination room door was "Anger Management" !!

3:21 pm

lbdawger

the only thing about facebook games is having everyone see your progress...or lack of progress. is there anyway to play the games w/o posting?

3:21 pm

dianedecoder

I've never played it.... do I dare ?

3:21 pm

ivesy3

lol good one

3:22 pm

ivesy3

oh try it !

3:22 pm

ivesy3

i think u can do that in privacy settings lb.. block what people see

3:22 pm

lilliann

hi viajes

3:22 pm

lbdawger

it is fun and addicting. but i had to stop playing it on my phone...ran the battery down too often.

3:22 pm

dianedecoder

I don't like that feature either dawger.... and sometimes if you don't "allow" them to post your progress, you can't procede with the game :-(

3:23 pm

ivesy3

there are a lot of "catches" on fb.. i hate the timeline... can go back years and c what someone posted

3:23 pm

dianedecoder

a couple of my daughters and granddaughters are addicted to some drawing game... have to have an ipad or a fancy phone to play it but looked like fun

3:24 pm

ivesy3

heard of that diane.. saw that a few people commented on it.. i was playing words with friends but got to be too much to keep up with it

3:25 pm

dianedecoder

5:22 pm

5:22 pm

lilliann

as in people killed jilly?

5:22 pm

rururocks

was there a sale or something jilly?

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, yesterday somewhere a police officer was killed during a robbery, today an employee was shot during a robbery...

5:24 pm

rururocks

jeez...

5:24 pm

rururocks

well.. walmart does sell a lot of guns

5:24 pm

lilliann

how awful...

5:24 pm

lilliann

have they caught the robbers?

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

that is true...ruru

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

didn't say in either incident lilliann

5:25 pm

rururocks

that was customer service lillian

5:25 pm

lilliann

so does walmart sell everything?

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

Yep....

5:26 pm

Jillyjill

the bigger stores are dry goods and grocery...

5:26 pm

lilliann

maybe they should stop selling guns as people with children shop in it

5:27 pm

rururocks

bingo lillian

5:27 pm

Kallia

maybe they should stop selling guns full stop!

5:27 pm

Kallia

hi all

5:27 pm

Jillyjill

unfortunatly here in the US we seem to have a phobia about guns..."They can take my guns when they pry it out of my cold dead fingers..."

5:27 pm

lilliann

we don't have shops that sell everything. we have gun shops but they only sell guns

5:27 pm

Jillyjill

Hi kallia

5:28 pm

lilliann

hi kallia

5:28 pm

lynxxx

I don't think I could live in a country where guns are so freely available...gives me the creeps seeing police over here with guns on. Morning all

5:28 pm

LeslieAnn

hmm, i think this connection is tenuous at best... the gunmen didn't *buy* their guns at walmart?

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

HI lynxx

5:28 pm

Kallia

hi lili, jilly and lynxxx

5:29 pm

lilliann

the problem is kallia, you're never going to stop guns being sold....legally is fine as people have to have the paperwork and be legal but it's the illegal gun trade you are never going to stop

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

true leslie ann...it's people using them, not the guns

5:29 pm

lilliann

hi lyn

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

brb

5:29 pm

Kallia

oh I agree there Liliann, but I believe they are very freely available legally in the US

5:30 pm

LeslieAnn

yes they are.

5:30 pm

Kallia

we don't have the same culture here...so it's hard to understand it

5:31 pm

lilliann

i sometimes wish are police would carry guns and not just the armed response unit as all out polish have are truncheons...when my dad was a policeman it was a thick wooden one now they are thinner and not wood and they also carry cs spray but if someone is shooting at yopu they're not really going to help!!

5:32 pm

Kallia

I don't agree there lilliann...thin edge of the wedge...

5:32 pm

lilliann

*i think i've just spoken swaheli.... meant police

5:33 pm

Kallia

knew what you meant :)

5:34 pm

lilliann

so then the criminals can shoot and kill us and our police but out police can't do anything back? apart from cs spray them if they're near and they haven't been shot first??

5:34 pm

lilliann

i don't like guns and i don'tapprove of them but it seems a bit one sided!

5:35 pm

Kallia

you would really like to see armed police walking around?

5:35 pm

lynxxx

WE virtually banned guns after a couple of mass murder episodes...would be interesting to see the crime statistics now

5:35 pm

rururocks

i'm not big on guns either...

5:36 pm

lilliann

they do in all the other countries, especially europe

5:36 pm

rururocks

i believe in the right to bear arms... but not weapons that have mulitple rounds and rapid fire

5:36 pm

lynxxx

I don't Kallia - and they do.

5:37 pm

Kallia

I would hate it, didn't know they did in Oz lynxxx

5:37 pm

lilliann

i don't know if i'dlike to or not, but what i'm saying is that the criminals in this country carry guns and knives and aren'tafraid to use them but our police force doesn't have the weapons to match

5:37 pm

rururocks

I've never seen a police officer without arms

5:38 pm

Kallia

not all crime is gun related though...

5:38 pm

lynxxx

but does the US really need to 'bear arms' anymore - the society has changed a lot since the Wild Wild West. Surely violence begets violence

5:38 pm

Kallia

and police can and have made mistakes when they have been armed

5:39 pm

Kallia

that's my feeling about it Lynxxx

5:39 pm

rururocks

hmm.. good point.. I mean I wouldn't have a gun around my house.. but I believe in the right. to.. it's in our sonstitution

5:39 pm

lilliann

i've seen armed police at airports in this country and felt a safer...saying that they can't stop a bomb!!

5:39 pm

lynxxx

yeah - like the 68 yo black veteran they shot in his bed/home (a few months ago?)

5:39 pm

LeslieAnn

absolutely. as do civilians who have concealed carry permits.

5:39 pm

Kallia

if you have a gun (police or otherwise) it is likely to be used

5:40 pm

LeslieAnn

but being in the chicago area, IL is the only state in the US without concealed carry laws - the crime rate is terrible. to lil's point - more criminals with guns than law-abiding citizens

5:40 pm

Kallia

concealed carry permits? you mean they can carry a hidden gun legally?

5:41 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't feel strongly either way, btw - just adding to the convo

5:41 pm

rururocks

yes

5:41 pm

LeslieAnn

yes kallia

5:41 pm

rururocks

I think Florida, Texas, Arizona, for sure

5:41 pm

rururocks

I think also here in California too

5:41 pm

gemini_J13

Kansas has it

5:41 pm

Kallia

I don't think that we are in the same league for guns as us...for criminal use I mean

5:42 pm

gemini_J13

Colorado

5:42 pm

LeslieAnn

yes, Illinois is the only state without.

5:42 pm

lilliann

the one thing though sad as it is ....you will never stop people having a gun or knife in any country...even if it is illegal which it is in many countries around the world...it like saying stealing is illegal, which it is, but it's never stopped!!

5:42 pm

Kallia

yes criminals do use guns, but having police or private citizens being able to shot willy nilly isn't the answer in my opinion...

5:42 pm

lynxxx

How good would that feel - not knowing that the guy next to you is carrying a loaded gun!!! ****!

5:43 pm

Kallia

no of course you wont stop it, but armed police would make it worse...imo

5:43 pm

lynxxx

bloody scary - remind me never to go to the States

5:43 pm

Kallia

it would feel dreadful lyn

5:43 pm

gemini_J13

it's kind of self defeated,,, there are many places you can't have one,,,, Walmart is probaly one,, they probably have the sign on the door as you go in,,,,

5:44 pm

LeslieAnn

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed
_carry_in_the_United_States

5:44 pm

lilliann

we have armed police kallia

5:44 pm

rururocks

or like me .. a guy next to you "loaded"

5:44 pm

Kallia

yes, but not in the normal course of events...police are not routinely armed

5:44 pm

lilliann

but not all our police carry guns like other countries

5:45 pm

lynxxx

a loaded (alcohol) guy carrying a loaded gun - sure, feeling even more worried

5:46 pm

Kallia

anyway...can you really buy guns at Walmart?

5:47 pm

Kallia

that's what caught my eye in the first place...

5:47 pm

lynxxx

especially if he is also illiterate and can't read the sign on the Walmart door that says he can't enter with a gun!

5:47 pm

gemini_J13

yes you can

5:47 pm

lilliann

the problem is lyn, we're never going to stop people from carrying guns.there will always be an illegal trade of them

5:47 pm

Kallia

along with the groceries.....the mind boggles

5:48 pm

LeslieAnn

it's not like, an aisle next to the cereal... it's a separate section that's got everything locked up behind glass. but still, yes i guess it's a bit alarming when you stop and think about it.

5:48 pm

rururocks

I'm more worried about that woman shopper in teh sweater aisle

5:49 pm

lynxxx

of course Lill - but surely the less there are around and the the harder it is to get them - the better off we all are. We have certainly gone down in the number of mass murders we have

5:49 pm

lilliann

my brother was in the u.s at christmas in the south somewhere and he was taken to a gun fayre(he didn'twant any guns by the way)and they had missile launchers and all sorts and on the other side of the partition was a christmas fayre full of children!

6:00 pm

that's why we have help for heroes and other charities. the government should pay more though as they've sent them out! i make cards and any money i get goes to them

6:00 pm

6:00 pm

10:20 pm

but more importantly, it seems that you are getting some handle on things in real life?

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

Ok I am not religous and it isn't listed as a public holiday but still it used to be and I think if Friday is so important then so should the resurrection.

10:20 pm

herinfernallady

HI stid

10:20 pm

mrpresident

good to see you too! yes I have arranged it... just hope it works each time.
I am away on your monday to friday so needed to get it set up

10:21 pm

stidmama

hey LA

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Hi LA

10:21 pm

stidmama

... evening stidmama ... how's the teaching gig going?

10:33 pm

LeslieAnn

i keep trying a variant of bbq with little success

10:34 pm

stidmama

thanks doseffing! It's like the barbeque wood from the southwest, minus the last vowel, LA

10:34 pm

LeslieAnn

ahhh it was! thanks, fireworks

10:34 pm

doseffing

... don't stop

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Leslie

10:34 pm

stidmama

YAY LA!

10:36 pm

LeslieAnn

what do you need, dos?

10:36 pm

stidmama

teaching goes well, doseffing, when I have work. Nothing this last week due to spring break, and nothing pre-scheduled for the coming week (but I usually get at least two calls). the following week, I have FOUR days pre-scheduled! :-) and the jobs for next year are starting to open up. Trying to decide if I should try for them or wait another year and see if I can get some long-term sub work under my belt.

10:37 pm

stidmama

I do love being in the classrooms, though

stidmama <3 teaching!

10:37 pm

doseffing

... if you can get a full time contract ... take it ... (given the location is good)

10:37 pm

LeslieAnn

i am so proud of you stiddy!

10:38 pm

stidmama

thanks doseffing, I will start filling out the forms this coming week when people are back in their offices, then. :-)

10:38 pm

doseffing

... as someone who is stuck with supply work ... (sorry ... you call it sub work) ... there are few things more frustrating than supplying for some young whipper snapper who beat you out for a contract job because he was younger ...

10:39 pm

doseffing

... not because he was better

10:40 pm

stidmama

Well I am an OLD whipper-snapper, as this is my "second career" (after full-time parenting more than 16 years). So I have the disadvantages of BOTH age and inexperience! *sigh* It's okay, I will find something. The people I sub for really seem to like me.

10:40 pm

herinfernallady

Dose happened to me except I didn't get the job to a complete and utter half witt

10:41 pm

doseffing

... up here the only people who hate subs more than the students is the regular teachers and the administators

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

and I am not calling this person a half wit because she got the job over me she really was dense

10:43 pm

doseffing

... it's my third (or is it my fourth) career ... and at my seemingly advanced age ... everyone who has a job is demanding why I don't quit ... ... ... they refuse to allow that my kid has the right to ask for help with her tuition too ... just like their kids

10:43 pm

stidmama

it's frustrating, dose, to be in schools where they think subs aren't "real" teachers. I have one school where every time some bright child inquires as to whether I am a real teacher. When I say that I am, they want to know where my real classroom is. So I tell them that I took this year off so I would be available to my family (this is 90% of the reason I didn't apply for any jobs until halfway through this year).

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

Stid you could always say it is more fun to borrow someone else's class room then yuo get more of a choice of stuff to play with

10:45 pm

doseffing

... know the feeling only too well ... ... I keep going into classes and telling the kids what it is they're supposed to learn ... and keep getting this amazing look on their faces because no one has ever told them before ...

10:47 pm

stidmama

I was asked back several times by one teacher because after I was there (and half the kids refused to work) the kids told the teacher that I really knew what I was doing and they actually had done a lot of the work I assigned! LOL I just tell them I am the teacher in charge for the day and it may be different from the regular teacher, but it will be okay. Most kids are calmed by that. And with older kids I don't allow even minor infractions (automatic ticket to the office) at first -- once I have been in the room once or twice everyone knows that I mean business and it's easier.

10:49 pm

stidmama

and I do think it's true, lady -- I really enjoy seeing how other teachers set things up.

10:49 pm

stidmama

ah, just found the south african cattle pens!

10:49 pm

stidmama

down to 49. listing now.

10:52 pm

YAY godthaab

10:52 pm

doseffing

... my work is entirely high school ... i end up spending as much time doing guidance work in class as I spend doing math ... ... but I rarely get more than one day with a group ... ... but it has reached the point where I can't go to a restaurant in the evening without having some kid saying hello to me ... ... I'll bet there aren't many subs who can say that in my board ... ... ... but I mustn't be bitter about it ... ... and I shouldn't talk about it after as much beer as I had this evening ...

10:53 pm

stidmama

(((dose))) it is a particularly wonderful person who can do what you do; I am so inspired by you

10:54 pm

doseffing

... appreciate that ... thanks ...

11:03 pm

doseffing

... okay ... with the help of lickety's list ... some excellent clues ... and going back through the archived log for the sa7's ... the fireworks have appeared ... ... amazing ... in my condition ... one is supposed to drink after babble ... not before ... ... ...

11:06 pm

Glantarell

Hi Herin - didn't thin you needed heated pillows in Oz - nice and warm there, yes?

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

Not at the moment. A heated pillow is the cat

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

And it is heading into Autumn

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

Glantarell I would love to find out info on my great grandfather Bampi

11:12 pm

stidmama

I am less English than almost anything else -- claim Wales from an ethnically Irish ancestor who was born in one of the mining towns. *grin* but the old cottage in Chard where the English ancestor came from is still standing 500 years later!

11:13 pm

Glantarell

local people still won;t set foot in Caernarfon castle 35 years after Charles was invested there

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

Glant no one even the English wants Charles

11:13 pm

Glantarell

which mining town Herin? I have just moved into a mining town...

11:14 pm

Glantarell

and Bampi is a south Wales valleys word for grandfather

11:14 pm

stidmama

someday I want to see Merthyr Tydfil... and County Down (Downpatrick) and Dingle in Ireland.

11:14 pm

Glantarell

Merthyr tydfil - now there's a townm - cowboy country LOL

11:15 pm

Glantarell

we use the word cowboy differently here in the Uk to in the US - can mean a person who doesn;t do a proper job (tradesman) or wild country

11:15 pm

Glantarell

MT is about 15 miles form me, so you can come and stay here when you visit LOL

11:15 pm

stidmama

I think I "belong" here though -- as much of a mix as I am in ancestry, I know I don't belong anywhere else!

That would be fantastic. i know that he was a coal miner and walked from Wales to London in the 1900's when there was the big strike and I know that he was in WW1 in Galipoli

11:23 pm

Glantarell

you know the 1901 and I think 1911 censuses are online and can be searched?

11:23 pm

Glantarell

if you have an address

11:23 pm

herinfernallady

Really? Would a name be sufficent?

11:24 pm

mab

gallipoli, wow....

11:24 pm

Glantarell

but I can go to the Glamorgam archive and find more out - also there's a website called Coflein where you can search for historical information about places

11:24 pm

Glantarell

depends on the name

11:24 pm

Glantarell

name and ton might work

11:24 pm

I did find a link thank you. I would love to find his war records because i know that my grandfather I wouldn't have such luck as he was working for home office security in WWII

11:33 pm

Glantarell

i think there is a way of getting war records - must ask my daughter, she is the eneaologist in our family

11:34 pm

Glantarell

I thin k if you contact the relevant force they may supply that info but probably have to charge

11:34 pm

Glantarell

if they don;t supply, then they will point you in the right direction
