In 1946, Ed Waldmire, Jr., revolutionized the meat-on-a-stick world when he debuted the Cozy Dog—the first corn dog on a stick. He had wanted to name his creation the “Crusty Cur,†but his wife convinced him that people wouldn’t want to eat something described as “crusty.â€

I am, thanks! I am finally walking well and able to do a full day (or week) in a classroom no problem. Looking for a full-time, semi-permanent position, too, but not worried. There is enough work as a substitute that if I need to take another year and build up more references I can make it.

Good to hear you are getting about alright now, there is a lot of call for substitute teachers as so many are leaving the profession ....
10:41 am
stidmama
indeed, that is so, Norma -- and around here a lot of the teachers who didn't retire (their savings having dwindled alarmingly) are starting to retire now as the investments get stronger... I am confident I will have something regular for employment in the next 12 months.
10:41 am

I think we all have our own private goals here in Babbleland--mine have changed over the years.
10:49 am
jmcnrick
haha i used to try to actually finish!
10:50 am
jan
I did for a while, then I realized that finishing had become a chore rather than a pleasure. Now I Babble till it isn't amusing me anymore.
10:51 am
harpjane
I used to always try to finish. My goal was to have 1030 in the stats.
10:51 am
jmcnrick
haha i gave up looking at the rankings first and that made it all easier
10:51 am
jan
I don't think I've been above 800 in the stats for ages!
10:52 am
jmcnrick
playing until i am not amused any more sounds about right for me too
10:52 am
jan
But I don't mind. I Babble to relax, I have enough competitive pressures elsewhere in my life.
10:52 am
jmcnrick
i have lasted longer with babble because it is more or less self regulated and the chog
10:53 am
zTink
My goal is to get half way and then anything more is a bonus!
10:53 am

that is how i think of nbt ztink!
10:53 am

i started playing garden of time and other things and got bored
10:54 am
jmcnrick
i am just annoyed that i am frozen out of words on FB -- that i think i could play for a while
10:55 am
jan
The thing that is nice about Babble is that there are no winners or losers, and you can set your own 'rules' for your participation. So it works for all kinds of playing styles.
10:55 am
jan
Also, I am a fan of unusual words, and boy does Babble feed that!
10:55 am
jmcnrick
exactly and pretty much everyone salutes everyone's meeting of their own goals
10:56 am

No blank tiles--having at least one word for each tile that has words that could be made off it.
10:56 am
jmcnrick
no blank tiles--i have found a word for each tile on the grid
10:56 am
jmcnrick
haha you have found the mother load then jan!
10:57 am
jan
Agreed, jmc, it's great that people here are willing and happy to cheer on everyone, not just the speedy or the finishers. Very democratic.
10:57 am
jmcnrick
silly me to take so long to find the volcano!
10:58 am
jan
Of course, it's amazing to see the speedy and the finishers, too. There are folks here who have both immense vocabularies and great pattern recognition ability.
10:59 am
zTink
I never understand how people can complete the grid so fast after the flip.
10:59 am
jmcnrick
it is a very democratic place as people with different ideas can manage (mostly) to get along
11:00 am
jmcnrick
some people have amazing vocabularies and also spacial skills that play into that ability
11:00 am
jmcnrick
also the longer you play it the more you get used to the word system
11:00 am
jan
So true. Once my world contained no hairy nosed dolphins or hawaiian geese.
11:01 am
MollyL
Spacial skills?
11:01 am

haha indeed jan
11:01 am

yes moll just like doing sign language you need particular spacial skills to see the words on the grid

lilliann
we should stid, as i see so many boring wheelchairs. alot of the companies think all disabled people should be sat in black or red wheelchairs!! that's why i like my bright yellow and metallic sparkly turquoise one.
1:58 pm
amelu0218
don't know if it's THE 2nd one, lol! yvw! :o)
1:58 pm

1:58 pm
stidmama
thanks for that one amelu!
1:59 pm
stidmama
lilliann, that's why I bought the pink cane that is covered with roses. I don't have to like using it, but I DO want to be fashionable and pretty if I have to!
1:59 pm
lilliann
ty amelu
1:59 pm
stidmama
I keep it in the car now that I don't use it all the time, and it really came in handy when I broke my toe a couple months ago. The kids loved the pink cane combined with the fluffy black and pink slipper I wore...
2:00 pm
lilliann
that sound lovely stid, and i quite agree. i love the fluffy slipper :)
2:00 pm
stidmama
I will definitely tell Mother hello for you -- unless she is already online.. *runs off to look*
2:03 pm
lilliann
we will have to go into business designing cool wheelchairs and walking sticks.especially for children too as i see alot of young bairns in them but they are really boring and if you have to sit in them it should be fun and colourful or your taste!
2:04 pm
stidmama
She's not in babble at the moment, actually she is writing a negative book review at Amazon! I have rarely seen Mother quite that unhappy with a book. Glad she's on the other side of the peninsula, maybe she's the reason for the weather coming from that direction?
2:04 pm
stidmama
definitely, lilliann -- and Mother said she saw a lot of walkers, I think you call them "frames"? when she was over there. streamers off the handles, maybe?
2:04 pm
lilliann
oh dear..lol.what is the book?
2:05 pm
lilliann
aye, we call them zimmer frames
2:05 pm
stidmama
I am not sure, probably something in French. We'll ask her.
2:05 pm
lilliann
streamers sounds good, and a loud foghorn so other people can hear you coming!
2:06 pm
stidmama
like the horn idea... maybe rig up a horn from a big truck.
2:06 pm
lilliann
aye, don't ask me why...maybe it's because of the person who designed them?
2:06 pm
stidmama
ah, zimmer must have been a manufacturer's name
2:06 pm
stidmama
snap, lilliann!! LOL
2:07 pm

Hello. Finished my book review. I thought I didn't like the direction of the book. The Amazon reviews solidified my position and I am back to reading about Botswana, the Precious Ramatswe (sp) stories.

2:16 pm
stidgmere
No, one by a woman. Northwest writer so I thought it might be fun. NOT Mostly about very mean sex. Not my cup of tea liliann.
2:16 pm
crosshair
there was a lot of noise about the "shades" triogy stidmere,but it was nothing but a flavour of the month and a shallow empty vessel for some characters much like the twilight series
2:16 pm
stidmama
oh, the Amanda Holt series, yes, those look a little dark
2:16 pm
stidgmere
yes, crossy that is the one. Save your money for bacon and maple syrup.
2:17 pm
MollyL
Gran Mere, are you talking about 50 Shades Of Grey?
2:17 pm
stidmama
mmmm. syrup. and bacon.
2:17 pm

2:17 pm
lilliann
oh ok, ty stidgemere...doesn't sound like my sort of thing
2:18 pm
MollyL
I can see why you didn't like it then. People refer to those books as "mommy porn" : )
2:19 pm
stidgmere
So, back to babble where four letter words count for something.
2:20 pm
stidgmere
Need to go warm the soup and put sandwiches together. Home is the sailor, home from the shops.

lilliann
