12:44 am

grannyrose

ugh, rbud, having done a stint as pediculosis nurse for local schools, don't really want to go there

12:45 am

rbud

don't blame you! :P

12:45 am

cosdem

you know.. in todays schools... if u have lice ur not sent home. u just get a note sent.

12:45 am

cosdem

then a note to ur other classmates parents

12:45 am

jillibus

too sleepy -- stayed up too late and someone phoned (long distance) too early this morning..goodnight all...*poof

12:45 am

rbud

oh, they still send 'em home around here

12:46 am

grannyrose

not here, cos. off they go stat.....or they have to wait in the sickbay until someone responsible can pick them up.

12:46 am

cosdem

that was appalling.. i was working as a teacher aide in des moines, ia

12:46 am

rbud

we is backwards

12:46 am

cybernan

down to 16, but awfully slow going now

12:46 am

grannyrose

night, jilli, sleep well, hun

12:46 am

cosdem

they said its against state law .. ah yeah state law... it "discriminates" law

12:48 am

rbud

once, years ago, I was on line with our kids, getting checked after a huge outbreak in the little local school, and a mom formerly from the Phillipines was complaining loudly that "back home no one even bothers about stuff like this - if they did, schools would be empty year round!" lol!

12:49 am

flosey

I presume she's glad to be here rbud

12:49 am

cosdem

wow yeah.. thats sad

12:49 am

rbud

certainly a different outlook

12:50 am

cosdem

sometimes its the little things that you hear that make u think

12:50 am

grannyrose

i wonder....just what purp[ose do these little critturs serve....except to give kids a day off school, and mums, teachers and nurses a headache

12:52 am

grannyrose

come to think of it, what about flies, leeches and those itty-bitty spiders which create masses of fine web....which you don't usually discover until they festoon the corners of a room like grey christmas garlands.

12:53 am

cosdem

when i was a kid it was a huge deal.. and now parents are like.. eh who cares.. its interesting

12:56 am

rbud

and fleas... and mosquitoes - what good are they in the scheme of things?

12:57 am

cosdem

fireworks

12:57 am

cybernan

stuck on the ge 5 -- any clues out there?

12:58 am

12:59 am

grannyrose

WTG NAN!!!!!

12:59 am

cybernan

ty anyway, rose -- good clue

1:00 am

grannyrose

well, you could join in the conversation about the usefulness of lice, leeches, fleas, mosquitoes, and itty-bitty spiders.

1:01 am

cosdem

sounds like dinner

1:01 am

rbud

at least flies and bees have some good points, but the rest... who needs 'em?

1:01 am

grannyrose

what? lice, leeches, fleas and itty-bitty spiders? ( wonders about cos's life-style )

1:02 am

grannyrose

hey cos!!!! you a handsome prince in frog-disguise?.....

1:03 am

rbud

"there was an old lady who swallowed a fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly..." â™ªâ™«â™ª

1:03 am

1:06 am

grannyrose

hey, has anyone here had a chance to check out the youtube site, for tim conway elephant and tim conway dentist. found it the other day. nearly laughed myself into an asthma attack.

1:07 am

grannyrose

night rur, sleep well, buddy. see you at the flip

1:07 am

rbud

maybe it was the spider verse, cos, ewwwwww

1:09 am

rbud

oh, love tim conway, or I used to, anyway

1:10 am

grannyrose

the elephant one is an out-take from the carol burnett show.

1:10 am

cosdem

1:11 am

flosey

fireworks

1:11 am

rbud

yay, flosey!

1:11 am

grannyrose

sadly no, cos, good clean humour. and you could laugh yourself silly. i love slapstick humour too.

1:11 am

grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!!!!

1:12 am

rbud

yep, used to watch Carol all the time

1:12 am

flosey

thanks rbud and rose, now off to bed, goodnight all

1:12 am

grannyrose

then there is abbott and costello's who's on first....such a lovely play on words

1:13 am

cosdem

never thought id like bob newhart but turns out i do.... just started a few days ago.. but i like mary tyler moore and carol burnett's shows too

1:13 am

grannyrose

night, flosey, sleep well, hun, see you at the flip

1:14 am

grannyrose

i think that's why i appreciate ruru and his puns. my grandfather ( a teacher) imparted to me an absolute love of language and all it's variants

1:15 am

rbud

bob's great! such a dry sense of humor.

1:15 am

rolin

ok.. here's a question..has anyone had to resit an exam..or had a child or grandchild do so?

1:16 am

grannyrose

rbud, is he the one who has such a dead-pan face, when he delivers his lines?

1:16 am

rbud

yep, it should be a word, I agree. and so should pogo, but what do I know.

1:16 am

grannyrose

yes, rolin.i have, in fact sat it three times

1:17 am

rolin

ok granny...so why doesn't enable allow the word 'resit'?

1:17 am

grannyrose

oh, i see where you are coming from, rolin. strange that it ISN'T a word in enable, right?

1:18 am

rolin

precisely!

1:18 am

rbud

yes, he does, g'rose, and he's a psychologist in the show, so he sees so4 odd stuff.

1:20 am

grannyrose

rolin, the word resit is in our australian english dictionary. but that's no help in this situation.

1:21 am

grannyrose

rbud, then i can picture him, and yes, i love his sense of humour, too. as a mater of fact, my son, simon, delivers punchlines the same way.

1:22 am

rolin

granny...the macquarie is a blessing

1:22 am

cosdem

lol bob newhart keeps getting paint spilt on him

1:23 am

grannyrose

rolin, i have the federation encyclopedic edition, love this book.

1:25 am

grannyrose

every weekend, we have a general knowledge crossword in each of saturday's and sunday's paper. i love researching to find out the answers, and quite often it is the macquarie's which gives it to me

1:26 am

grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake....IT'S HAILING HERE!!!! and it's only autumn ( fall )

1:30 am

grannyrose

i'm outta here having successfully killed the chog for the second time, see y'all at the flip

1:36 am

rbud

I was locked out, couldn't post or enter words, had red boxes, yuck!

2:52 am

rbud

done! night, babbleland! :)

3:00 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:00 am

rubyfoo

it feels like winter again!

3:07 am

hydra

It does here, too. I amw earing scarf and sweater INDOORS!

3:07 am

hydra

Morning, all.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

what happened to Spring?

3:08 am

rubyfoo

lots of flowers, but too cold to plant my bulbs

3:08 am

hydra

We had it ten days or so ago. Gorgeous weather, everyone in t-shirts and shorts, and now it's winter again.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

just like here

3:09 am

hydra

My geranium has died. I moved it under cover, hoping it would survive the frosts, but it didn't, boo-hoo.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

I think we get your weather a couple of days after

3:09 am

hydra

In that case you're due for some rain! We've got it now.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I wait until geraniums are cheap, then I put them in the borders where nothing else will grow and hope for the best

3:10 am

rubyfoo

no no!!! that means more mud in the house

3:11 am

hydra

Yes, more mud! We have a farmhouse kitchen with a wood floor, so it's easy to mop and sweep.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

but there are all these mysterious paw prints constantly LOL

3:12 am

hydra

Here, too. Ours are feline ones though. I think. A fox came in the other day!

3:12 am

rubyfoo

in the house? eating cat food?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

there are foxes here, but I've never seen one

3:13 am

hydra

It's out semi-tame vixen. She sits at the patio door waiting to be fed. She has cubs in next door's garden. We weren't in the room so she came right in, then dashed out when my partner entered the room. He saw her leave.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

how wonderful!

3:14 am

hydra

I meant 'out', not 'out'. Call myself an editor?!

3:15 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:15 am

hydra

Ha ha. Our. I've got it right this time. The letters have worn off my keyboard and I keep hitting the wrong ones.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

funny, I read it correctly; call myself a reader! lol

3:16 am

hydra

That IS funny, Ruby!!! BTW, did you ever find out what happened to Max? I haven't been reading the chog lately.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

yes, after 2 weeks, the gardener found him in the bottom of the fishpond and we buried him quietly, didn'ttell fragile husband

3:17 am

rubyfoo

it was tragic, but the new puppy goes far in filling the void

3:18 am

hydra

Oh no, that is SO sad. Any idea how it could have happened? I mean, dogs are good swimmers.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

he's a handful, very smart, athletic, affectionate, handsome and housebroken BUT he bites me!

3:18 am

hydra

What's his name?

3:19 am

rubyfoo

evidently not Max and he drank from there every night for years. He was 8, so I hope he had a heart attack or something and died quickly. I was afraid that he'd somehow gotten out and been hit by a car and died under somebody's shrubbery

3:19 am

hydra

I must listen to your son's music.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

the new puppy, another chow chow, is Ruffino(Rufie), named for our old male Rufus, but Italian

3:20 am

rubyfoo

his album had a couple of good cuts, but didn't do much

3:20 am

rubyfoo

now, son is off to India, for a couple of weeks for his new job (still in Austin)

3:20 am

rubyfoo

but he still plays with two bands, a few times a month

3:20 am

hydra

At least he died in familiar surroundings, so that's a blessing. My partner's two cats both died here, aged 21 and 23, and are buried in the garden. We just have Flad now and he's 15, the same age as our relationship.

3:21 am

rubyfoo

those are amazing ages for cats! We've never had a chow live past 10, maybe because they're so large

3:21 am

hydra

Oh. I was going to ask if he was in a band. My daughter has a fantastic singing voice and was offered a job with a top band but she wouldn't take it. She says she'd hate life on the road.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

she's right; John is able to have his "real" job and his two bands, all in Austin

3:22 am

hydra

I think they live so long because he doesn't believe in leeting the vet give them annual jabs. All my friends who take their cats to the vets every year seem to lose them younger.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

he manages one "Orange Jefferson and the Seeing-Eye Band" and "Think Lizzie". He also plays bass for mysteriouswaysband.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

your partner may be right. It is certainly unusual to have cats live to 20!

3:23 am

hydra

I shall google them, Ruby. What job does he do? Austin is SO far away from France. Are you originally from the USA?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

He is an Oracle data-base administrator and has just opened an office for a Houston company. He is going to India to make contracts with two Indian companies, one in Chennai (Madras) and the other in Bangalore.

3:25 am

rubyfoo

He's quite a guy, but very nervous about this new undertaking

3:26 am

rubyfoo

and yes, I'm American, but retired here with my second husband

3:26 am

hydra

Wow! Impressive. My daughter is a tarot-reader! She is studying for a degree in astro-physics, too. I bet moving to France was a big culture-shock!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

no, I used to come here with my first husband and almost married a Frenchman in '78! hahah

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I've always loved France.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

Husband would have prefered the UK, but, at that time (15 yrs ago), they still had the strict quarantine laws

3:28 am

rubyfoo

it is challenging living here, but we found a beautiful place which we couldn't have afforded elsewhere

3:28 am

hydra

I had a wonderful holiday with my ex-husband on a canal boat going from Paris through the Loire Valley.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

BTW, ASTROPHYSICS!!!!!

3:28 am

hydra

Quarantine laws? For husbands? lol

3:29 am

rubyfoo

we had old Rufus when we came here. Husbands would be a good idea, too.

3:30 am

hydra

Yeah, I don't know why astrophysics, either. She is into computer games bigtime, Eve Online, building your own spaceship and carrying out intergalactic raids. Maybe it's inspired by that.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

whatever inspired it, it sounds very interesting. She must be very smart!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

Like her mom lol

3:31 am

hydra

She is. Don't know about me!!! I have only known my daughter since 2000. I had to get her adopted, then I traced her. She had been trying to find me for years. Imagine the ecstatic reunion!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

what a wonderful story!!!!

3:33 am

hydra

Too long and complext to describe in the chog. Is there anyone else here? Are we chog-hoggers?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

they are probably all avoiding us like the plague.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

my e-mail address is in my profile

3:34 am

rubyfoo

I would be very interested

3:35 am

hydra

OK. So's mine but I'll have to remind myself to check it as I usually use a hotmail one. I'll email you from hotmail. And now I'd better make myself a coffee! See you in a bit.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

enjoy your coffee. "Talk" to you later

6:21 am

Uneaixoise

Passover ends Saturday night. I hope you had a lovely Easter Sunday

6:25 am

I did indeed - a full coven complement, with all sisters present and accounted for, and the Hallelujah Chorus at church, which always makes my day....

6:30 am

Trifioso

oooooh, lovely!

6:31 am

Trifioso

don't tell anyone, but I sooooo wish I didn't have to go to work today. I have lost all the passion for it, at the moment. I have a vacation coming up, and thank GOD. I need the breather. it's gonna be a loooong week though. ugh

6:32 am

Anniebrook

I wont tell a soul. Perhaps the end of the semester is coming up and you are just a little tired. I hope the vacation perks up your interest again.

6:32 am

Trifioso

thanks annie.

6:32 am

Anniebrook

Trif, Do you tutor?

6:33 am

Trifioso

somehow even just admitting it is a relief. and yes, I do. I work with students with receptive and expressive languages issues, in a learning center

6:34 am

Trifioso

I really do love the work, and I believe in the philosophies of the center founder but the corporate structure is getting rather tiresome.

6:34 am

Trifioso

(and by that I mean my completely crappy rate of pay)

6:35 am

Anniebrook

Well, you give much needed help. All corporate structures are tiresome no matter where you work and, of course, the pay is low for what you do.

6:36 am

Trifioso

sigh. I know, you are right. it's just lately its been really getting to me. as I said, I need a vacation

6:36 am

Anniebrook

You will feel differently after a much needed rest.

6:37 am

Trifioso

that is my hope

6:37 am

Trifioso

at the very least, the full moon is waning, which always settles the kids down. they were truly loonies last week

don't cry marc, we will help you find it!

6:39 am

Anniebrook

One of my grandsons was tutored this year and it is working out very well. He just wouldnt do his homework. He did well in the classroom but the homework assignments overwhelmed him. I think the tutoring helped to get him focused and to break down the tasks. I think he needs a vacation from tutoring as you do. The family is going to a baseball camp in the Dominican Rep. which they are looking forward to. Everyone needs a rest at this juncture including you.

6:40 am

Trifioso

does the tutor come to his house, annie, or do they bring him to a center?

6:40 am

Trifioso

does the tutor come to his house, annie, or do they bring him to a center?

6:40 am

He goes to a center twice a week.

6:41 am

ah.

6:42 am

MollyL

re7/32

6:42 am

Trifioso

see, that is the thing, annie....not to be indelicate, but my center charges $96 an hour for tutoring, and I get paid $14 of that, evne though I sit with each child for 55 minutes, and provide 100% of the instruction. rather high overhead, wouldn't you say?

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Trif, His tutoring is over $200 a hour. $14.00 an hour is not enough. Could you ask for a raise w/o jeopardizing your position.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Or I should say over $200 a session

6:44 am

Trifioso

nope. I am starting to think I would be better off just going out on my own, but that brings its own set of terrors

6:45 am

Trifioso

and WOW - that is a lot to pay for tutoring! your poor family!

6:45 am

godthaab

My favourite word is here to/6!

6:46 am

Anniebrook

A friend of mine tutored and the children came to her or she went to them and she charged $50.00 an hour.

6:46 am

Trifioso

that sounds a lot better to me right about now! anyway, we should probably change the subject....I am getting paranoidnow

what made your day less fun, car.ee?

7:00 am

Good for you. I came in late about $ discussions, but what ever you are making, isn't enough. That is a bloody hard job!

7:01 am

Trifioso

I am not making enough. not no how

7:01 am

car.eeyore

As per usual, I overbooked myself. Then when I had time to finally sit and relax, the kids were whiny and wanted to leave Kadresa's, then they were noisy when we go home....I just didn't have time to relax and enjoy the day.

7:01 am

sprite

I wonder, Trif... can you start with doing a bit on your own, in your own ti4, and then go out on your own?

7:01 am

car.eeyore

It is my own fault though, so I can't really complain. Just didn't enjoy the day as much as I hoped.

7:02 am

sprite

aw car.ee :( The less is more thing... tough to manage sometimes. *hug*

7:02 am

Trifioso

I could, sprite, but I have to be WICKED careful. There is a non compete clause in my contract....

7:02 am

I can tutor some things on my own, but I might get in trouble if they catch me at it, and I would rather just jump from one to the other...I want good karma

that whole mayan thing is so ....wrong. for starters, their calendar did not include leap years, so their calendar is a year behind ours. according to their calculations, the world should have ended LASt year. So can we all obsess about something else now?

7:23 am

Ruby, people like that woman, who make nasty comments about others, have incredibly low self esteem. Hence they make nasty comments about others in the hopes of making themselves look "better than". Pity her, and wear your jewelry proudly.

I have asked you about and and you said everything is fine, however I really am not feeing that is the case. I don't want to push, but I am going to ask you again what is bothering you and hope that you will be honest and talk to me. Otherwise, I will let it go and hope that you will be able to work it out on your own."

I don't think you are paranoid. It is clear something is bothering them. I think I would insist on having a talk with either of them. Let them make time. People are more important than anything. It does not have to take hours, and you are right to expect them to put energy into your relationship.

the dr. Freud alert, car.ee? Like guilty feelings? As in one of the kids said: "I love gramma the best of the whole world!" ?

8:04 am

Aloyisius

I like the idea of looking toward a positive future too.. good, sprite

8:04 am

gramma

It is especially hard because I lost my other dil to divorce just last fall.

8:05 am

rubyfoo

that's what I think, sprite

8:05 am

crosshair

"us guys are very simple.we want things to run smooth,we are not complex after that.maybe a beer and to see something neeked;)

8:05 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

8:05 am

car.eeyore

Absolutely. The kids are spending time with gramma instead of with her. She may be torn between work and spending time with the kids and taking it out on Gramma.

8:05 am

sprite

I know, crossy. And we love you for it. Usually it is us women who complicate matters.

8:06 am

gramma

She's actually too smart for that. She's pleased that we are so close. I'll actually have them this summer Wed - Friday night

8:06 am

crosshair

gramma,are you..how shall i put this,out dooing mom.kind of like raymonds supermom sort of thing.does the wife feel like she does not do well by her kids and is a tad surly about it?

8:07 am

crosshair

just a thought

8:07 am

rubyfoo

must run now but I hope those suggestions help, gramma, otherwise you can come here and hide out and she can look for other day care. (that's mean Ruby talking)

8:07 am

car.eeyore

In any case, Gramma, I do hope this can be resolved! Life is too short and there are many happy days to be had!

8:07 am

sprite

no mother is too smart for that... we are super geniuses when it comes to guilty feelings. We want to be mother, spouse, carrier woman and social wonder all at once and we never can.

8:07 am

gramma

I think she's a very confident mother. She knows her limits and does the best she can

8:07 am

Aloyisius

hope you hagd, ruby!

crosshair

well,that is all i can offer.let you ladies tear it down and dissect the minutae of it.crossy needs breffast!

8:09 am

sprite

well, guessing will get us nowhere. I hope the talk will help. Don't let her slip away, gramma. Let her know how important she is to you and how you value the relationship. How you admire her as a mum and partner of your son, but love her as a daughter personally too. It should help her open up.

8:09 am

sprite

bye gramma! *hugs*

Hi Everyone

5:47 pm

Soodle

Molly, you probably heard of the folk group 'The Dubliners'? the last founding member was buried in out town this morning. It was a wonderful send-off.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Erm...Our town, rather than out town...

5:47 pm

MollyL

*Raises the parting glass*

5:48 pm

Soodle

Yup. I raised a glass or two in his honour myself.... (hence dodgy typing...... hic)

5:49 pm

Soodle

Hi DR :-)

5:49 pm

Hi Soodle

5:50 pm

Soodle

Seriously, Saan? Barney McKenna died last week, and his funeral was in Trim, Co Meath today.

5:51 pm

Soodle

And, for the record, my Dad met my Mom at a Dubliners gig, so, I guess, if it were not for them, there would be no Soodle

5:51 pm

MollyL

*Raises a grateful glass to The Dubliners*

5:52 pm

Soodle

LOL (((Molls)))

5:52 pm

saanichcat

I'll go raise that glass now...my turntable is in the shop so can't play anything in rembrance.

5:53 pm

5:53 pm

MollyL

*Hint* YouTube

5:53 pm

saanichcat

5:54 pm

I think I have raised enough glasses for one day. I better toddle off to bed before I start wandering off down memory lane!

5:54 pm

Soodle

Good night all, see you soon.

I could wander over your way, mama if that is convenient. When does young one need a lift?

6:53 pm

stidmama

okay, he ran away... what I heard was him, leaping off the porch.

6:54 pm

stidmama

I think Tom is planning on picking him up at this point... let's let him take care of it.

6:55 pm

stidmama

ah, he lost track of time. At 3:30 he was going to leave at four... since it's nearly 5, he'll get kiddo. I can come over once I finish my bowl of cereal.

6:56 pm

stidgmere

That works. So, I'll just veg here and work on the 10 left. See you when you arrive. Just don't overdo and tire yourself out.

6:56 pm

stidmama

okay, I overdid a little already, but wisely stopped while still ambulatory! LOL will show up fairly soon.

6:57 pm

stidmama

sooner, if someone clues the E in the second row?

7:01 pm

stidmama

oh dear, missed your greeting, Min -- sorry. Have the screen magnified a bit so things scroll off quickly.

10:14 pm

LeslieAnn

that said, hit a brick wall. time to list

10:14 pm

AzRobin

Who was it....Molly I believe. She was going on and on about how these were words just made up. I'm new to this and love words. But some are real stumpers - for me at least.

10:15 pm

AzRobin

Ooops, need to change my avitar/icon. Easter slippers coming off.

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

there tend to be a scattering of crazy words in all the grids, but some are worse than others... with obsolete/old english words, french, gaelic, welsh, or chinese words mixed in. and a few abbreviations. and then there are the words that ARE words but the dictionary here won't accept...

10:18 pm

AzRobin

I noticed that! Can only one dictionary be loaded at a time I wonder - in this prog. I hate using other resources but this one was severely taxing.

10:19 pm

jesdraggon

this game uses Enable (whatever that is) as the dictionary. No changing, unfortunately.

10:21 pm
