Nan -- there is a co 7/36 -- starting from the c in the bottom of the first coluymn

12:56 am

jillibus

ty arb!

12:56 am

pugmama763

I have a co7/32 Arb

12:56 am

cybernan

there is, however, a de 7-8 that I haven't found

12:57 am

pugmama763

so I guess the co7's are not the extra word on list

12:57 am

cybernan

oh - reight, arb - missed that one!

12:57 am

ARB

There are 2 co 7's

12:59 am

1:03 am

viajes

okay, sleepy time -- see everyone "tomorrow"

1:03 am

anike

Can anyone help me with co 7 - not the qone about agreeing to

1:03 am

mich_pdx

hi nan and pug - the co 8 is like courtney cox's married name (rhyme)

1:04 am

ARB

co + fold-up bed + doubled last letter + vowel

1:04 am

mich_pdx

or a cuter version of co 4/6

1:04 am

mich_pdx

arb's clue is less opaque :)

1:05 am

pugmama763

1:05 am

mich_pdx

1:06 am

cybernan

ty arb

1:06 am

cybernan

1:08 am

mich_pdx

another word for man cave + end of flowers that grow on bushes (called "rhodies" for short)

1:08 am

cybernan

2:50 am

Thanks - found it

4:58 am

sprite

morning babble friends

4:59 am

grannyrose

hey spritey

5:00 am

sprite

rose :) How are you today? And how did it go?

5:00 am

grannyrose

woohooo, just over 4 weeks until i can have this blessed knee fixed

5:01 am

sprite

oh that is wonderful! Counting dowwwwwnnnn!

5:01 am

grannyrose

work not so bad, had enough staff on to cope with the volume of patients( well, there is always a first time)

5:02 am

grannyrose

lol, spritey, you realise that i will be here, every night for 8 weeks? how will cope with that, hun?

5:03 am

sprite

I will celebrate every time. Just wish it were for more fun reasons, rose!

5:04 am

grannyrose

you know? it's like when i finally had my left shoulder operated on. couldn't believe how much pain i WASN'T having.

5:05 am

sprite

yes, that is an amazing feeling, lol. Imagine how much energy it must have cost to keep on going all that time.

5:05 am

grannyrose

at the time, my surgeon called me a stoic....c'mon, me, a stoic...i don't think so!!!

5:06 am

sprite

stoic? Well, maybe in a way, yes. Because you managed.

5:07 am

grannyrose

* grin * well he did catch me out the following morning...out of bed, doing my physiotherapy

5:07 am

sprite

that is not stoic, that is heroic :D I take it the man is no Babbler. Needs to learn about words!

5:08 am

grannyrose

lol, very loudly, spritey, nah, was just doing what i knew had to be done.

5:09 am

grannyrose

and you, my dear friend, how are you?

5:09 am

sprite

hun, believe me, that is the very definition of heroic. It hurts, it is scary but you know it has to be done... and you do it.

5:10 am

grannyrose

*sigh* thanx for your support, dear heart

5:10 am

sprite

I am good. Had 2 busy days so will take it easy today. Learning to pace myself. Did the finances yesterday (also kinda heroic) so now I have peace of mind.

5:12 am

grannyrose

finances???? certainly heroic....i actually filed 3 years of receipts last week....himself can't believe it has happened

5:13 am

sprite

oh wow! Order in chaos :D Good job, rose. Feels good, doesn't it.

5:15 am

grannyrose

now that you mention it...yeah it does feel good...i know exactly where each receipt is....sad indictment of our times....i think the male in the partnership should have this knowledge....( grin )

5:16 am

sprite

hehehe yeah me too... but often it is the other way around. Here we always say, it is the lame one helping the blind one... I am not good at it (panic attacks etc) but my love is even worse. So I do it. And make him support me through the ordeal, grinnn.

5:19 am

grannyrose

lol, spritey, ditto here...

5:19 am

sprite

:D

5:21 am

grannyrose

and so, my dear friend, how far are youn into this grid? do you need a hand wih the 7's and 8?

5:22 am

sprite

let me see... still 71 left, and only one 7 found. I would love the stats for the 8, and a clue for that co7 that was mentioned in chat just before I joined. Something about a feminine form?

5:23 am

grannyrose

awww, spritey? just read your profile. for goodness sake, darling, with all that is happening,....you have not let anyone done.

5:24 am

sprite

thanks rose :) Maybe some people. But I had to make a decision that was good for me, for a change.

5:25 am

grannyrose

de8 is a plural of de7, lair + rhododen****( a flowering bush/shrub)

5:26 am

sprite

thanks! New word for me.

5:26 am

grannyrose

co7, co + child's bed + 7th note of doh, re, mi

5:27 am

grannyrose

co7, agreement

5:29 am

grannyrose

cr7, c + about + hollow in car panel after collision

5:30 am

sprite

thank you, it was the one with the child's bed.

5:30 am

grannyrose

en7, past tense of en6, and plural of en6 ( repeated bows by theatre cast)

5:31 am

grannyrose

re6, what happens with flash to ey4 in photo, then plural for re7

5:32 am

grannyrose

sc7, past tense of sc5, deride

5:33 am

sprite

thanks again, rose :)

5:33 am

grannyrose

np's spritey, is that them all?

5:34 am

sprite

that is all of 'm. Only small ones left now.

5:34 am

grannyrose

yay, spritey, you go, girl

5:34 am

sprite

thanks to you I do, lol

5:36 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, the timer just went off on the oven....guess that means dinner is ready. see you at the flip, my friend, and if you see ruby, please say "hi" from me

5:37 am

sprite

bichon

I love the Spring when it rains and everything glistens green

7:36 am

Anniebrook

yes, that is beautiful.

7:38 am

bichon

the only bad thing about the rain is the dogs don't want to go out

7:39 am

Anniebrook

that can present a problem..how do you get them to go out?

7:41 am

bichon

by brute force <ggg> Just put their leashes on them and pull. The rain makes their curls go crazy

7:41 am

bichon

I have to remember to keep the cellar door closed or they'll go downstairs and force the issue

7:43 am

bichon

7:43 am

Anniebrook

Having never had a dog silly me would pick them up and carry them all over. Cats are my thing. I would have a dog but living in an apartment building I just was too lazy to get up in the AM and walk the dog so I opted for cats and have the scratches to prove it.

the flower said "i wish i was a tree" the tree said "i wish i could be a different kind of tree" the cat wished that it was a bee, the turtle wished that it could fly really high into the sky over rooftops and then dive deep into the sea, and in the sea there is a fish, a fish that has a secret wish, a wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it

8:22 am

well, a sea turtle may be a good choice,but spending the next 250 years for my mate to get done in the bathroom is not for me

8:23 am

hurshy

it is a song called "tree hugger" from the Juno movie soundtrack. i like it a lot. :)

8:24 am

That's the female turtle's job, Crossy. You would be free to float about and eat your fill of jellyfish.

8:25 am

hurshy

8:25 am

crosshair

turtles like bacon in my experience

True. And I suppose the child support for 100 + baby turtles would be brutal.

8:29 am

Judi

No! Turtles deserve to be left alone - not eaten.

8:29 am

hurshy

it is weird how some creatures reproduce so plentifully and easily and others do not. i mean panda bears have only one kid at a time usually and not that often, and they sometimes eat them after they are born

8:29 am

8:36 am

Judi

Awesome!

8:36 am

crosshair

soy bacon?? my god! may as well not bother at all

8:37 am

Judi

Yes. Soy bacon seems... wrong.

8:37 am

bichon

amen to that crossy. I have had soy pepperoni though. Not bad

8:37 am

hurshy

well it may not be that great yet but suppose they could eventually get it so that you genuinely couldn't tell the difference?

8:37 am

crosshair

though i count my colesterol blessings every day

8:38 am

bichon

I have had turkey bacon. It's not a bad substitute, but I don't don't know how much less the cholesterol level is.

8:38 am

crosshair

remember when Mcdonalds had the veggie burger? lasted about a month

8:39 am

EvaNadine

crossy, McDs still has that in other places!

8:39 am

bichon

why go to Mickey D's to have a veggie burger.

8:39 am

crosshair

i am told the salt content in the turkey bacon outweighs its other benifits

8:39 am

EvaNadine

they actually change their menu based on what country/region they are in

8:39 am

crosshair

did not know that eva

8:39 am

hurshy

please i need answers to my question

8:39 am

bichon

what was your question hurshy

8:39 am

jmcnrick

the look more than anything else is the problem. . . no nice waves when the nonfat cooks

8:39 am

kje

lone bottom n?

8:40 am

jmcnrick

computer geek

8:40 am

hurshy

if they could eventually make veg-based substitutes for meats that you genuinely couldn't tell from the meat, would you eat them or would you still feel like it was "wrong"

8:40 am

kje

ty

8:40 am

bichon

no, I would eat them. But, they've got a long way to go

8:41 am

crosshair

i never think it is wrong,it just tastes like shit,so if they could make one where you coult not tell the difference,then yes,i would eat it

8:41 am

uusue2

hurshy, I personally wouldn't care but then I am not much of a purist (nor do I eat much meat)

8:41 am

hurshy

oh good, that is a relief.

8:41 am

jmcnrick

actually soy burgers have texture that is so close many can't tell the difference and notdogs are virtually identical to hot dogs

8:41 am

EvaNadine

if they tasted the same, didnt cost more, and weren't more unhealthy, then sure.
but many of them DO cost more and are loaded with unhealthy things to make them taste closer to meat...

8:42 am

crosshair

notdogs??? ok thats it! stop the world and let me off!

8:42 am

jmcnrick

<==hangs out with lots of vegetarians

8:42 am

hurshy

i know i know, but they keep working on these things.

8:42 am

jmcnrick

haha yeah the notdogs have just as much sodium that is for sure

8:42 am

bichon

Veggie propaganda

8:42 am

kje

I wouldn't eat them

8:42 am

8:43 am

uusue2

when I was a strict vegetarian I stayed away from imitation meat - just didn't make sense to me and I preferred to enjoy the vegetables and grains on their own terms

8:43 am

hurshy

oh, kje, please explain why not

8:43 am

jmcnrick

trust me i am not a veggie. . . i loves my steak which they haven't even tried to duplicate

I don't eat mushroom, so fungus is out for me

8:43 am

EvaNadine

crossy, did you know in england, in McDs you can get fish fingers and waffle fries?

8:43 am

crosshair

no,i did not,very interesting eva

8:43 am

hurshy

i don't eat mushrooms either bc i don't like the texture but these are not like that

8:43 am

kje

I don't eat any highly processed foods... in the long run, they are worse.... if you want veggies, eat the veggies

8:44 am

Judi

Mmmmm. Fungus.

8:44 am

hurshy

but eva, can you get fish fingers and CUSTARD? :)

8:44 am

jmcnrick

i think if you refuse to eat meat because it is cruel you shouldn't eat fake meat that imitates the cruelty

8:44 am

hurshy

ah well that makes sense kje

8:44 am

uusue2

in France you can get wine and beer at McD's (as well as croissants for breakfast)

8:44 am

8:44 am

herinfernallady

In Aus you can get fish hamburgers which I think is the devil

8:44 am

There was a funny scene in "All Creatures Great and Small" about exploding cow farts

8:47 am

Judi did you know that lobster is one of the best foods )(meats) for you. Better than beef. I vote 1 on that diet

8:54 am

herinfernallady

Bichon yes the gas could techniqually.

8:54 am

O gross Judi roaches are so nasty

8:56 am

I like to think of the lobsters as more evolved - on the food chain anyway.

8:56 am

herinfernallady

Bichon the reason I say this is decomposing matter produces methane. THere was an old tip (garbage dump / refuse dump) that was deemed safe to build houses on as it was after a certain time period. Nearly all the houses then had to be evacuated because of high methane levels

8:56 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* me too. . . strategic plan here i come!

i have a indian friend who will not touch north american food,he has been in canada 9 years.once every 2 weeks he drives down to the city and loads up on food only produced in india.i told him he is lucky he is not up north more as him and his family would starve

9:02 am

crosshair

even the kids drink boxes are the frooti brand made in india

9:02 am

uusue2

does he drink the local water?

9:02 am

crosshair

i am not sure suze

9:03 am

crosshair

since the stuff in new deli has 3 million wiggle worms per litre,i would say he most likely caves in that regard

9:04 am

uusue2

just curious...

9:04 am

crosshair

nothing like aemebic dysentary(sp) to change yer view on that!

9:06 am

uusue2

he must not be eating much in the way of fresh produce - doesn't sound too healthy

9:06 am

crosshair

special indian cookies,made with indian flour and no eggs,all the spices imported,everything.quite facinating to watch actually

9:07 am

crosshair

i do not know sue,but it all has to come from the indian food stores..period

9:07 am

herinfernallady

(makes yuk noises)

9:08 am

crosshair

i see tons of naan bread,lots of chick peas in oily dipping sauces,soup so spicy i cannot stand to even watch him eat it

9:08 am

herinfernallady

I make the best naan bread

9:09 am

uusue2

we have a substantial south Indian population in the greater Chicago area, so lots of markets and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure they carry local produce and meats

9:09 am

crosshair

he takes imported milk in tetra packs and puts lemon juice in it to crdle it and makes some kind of indian yogurt out of it all

9:09 am

crosshair

curdle

9:09 am

9:10 am

herinfernallady

Cross that sounds like a buttermilk varrient

9:10 am

crosshair

9:11 am

crosshair

but each to their own i say

9:11 am

uusue2

indeed, one of the funniest signs I've seen in a grocery store was in one of those shops - free gallon of milk with purchase of a whole goat!

9:11 am

herinfernallady

Apparently it is Indian Cottage cheese. I make soy buttermilk by a simlar method.

9:11 am

crosshair

every time i see that nice naan bread i think how it would make a awsome beef burrito lol

9:12 am

uusue2

but without pants, where will you keep all the smarts?

11:55 am

You keep your smarts in your pants?

2:18 pm

uusue2

(seriously, crossy, that was a very good clue)

2:19 pm

crosshair

your definition,while accurate,had to be passed through the local science centre and 3 univerities before i got an answer brainy suze

2:19 pm

crosshair

:)

2:20 pm

stidmama

sue -- are these the last finals for the last students???

2:20 pm

stidmama

hey all

2:21 pm

uusue2

oh well - probably there are people for whom the definition of sy4/6 or sn4/5 (just to pick a couple of random words that look bizarre to me) are obvious, I'm just not one of them

2:21 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

2:21 pm

crosshair

but i love you anyways.need someone tyo keep me rooted in reality,of which on most day i only have a passing acquaintance with:)

2:21 pm

uusue2

and yes, except for one student who had a court date this morning, and one more test to come back from the accessibility center, I have all the tests and should start grading...

2:21 pm

crosshair

howdy again tidmama

2:22 pm

stidmama

I don't know the definition for the sn, but it's definitely a babblet -- on the other hand... the de 6 you clued had something to do with branching structures I assume?

2:22 pm

crosshair

stidmama*

2:22 pm

stidmama

hey again rosshair *wicked mama grin*

2:22 pm

crosshair

see? cannot even spell

2:22 pm

stidmama

rofl

2:22 pm

crosshair

you are hard,tough women:(

2:23 pm

uusue2

it was a de7, stid, branched part of a nerve cell

2:23 pm

crosshair

had a professor like that once...wait! i have one here! lol

2:23 pm

stidmama

how's life today cross? I am home with the tail end of the virus -- felt pretty good, got up and did a little bit of work, now feel a little overwhelmed so back to sitting.

2:24 pm

stidmama

ah, that's what I figured, sue.

2:24 pm

uusue2

now trying to put little teeny batteries in my pen/laser pointer

2:25 pm

crosshair

not too bad stidmama,crossyson got his hand all punctured by a cat at the shelter the yesterday but he is back at work today.other than that is is same ole,same ole

2:25 pm

stidmama

I feel like a really bad gardener... was weeding around the clematis, knew where the main stem was but grabbed a hunk of grass and pulled on a different stem. *sob* I killed one of my plants! on the other hand, that planter is now weeded and I put the metal arbor next to it so it has somewhere to climb now.

2:25 pm

uusue2

the instructions say "use finger sacks of nonmetallic tweezers" ??

2:25 pm

stidmama

oh oh cross! *neosporin, antirabies vaccine, epsom salt soaks, and a heap of bandaids*

2:26 pm

crosshair

was bad enough for a emerg visit stidmama,but all is well now

2:26 pm

stidmama

oh man... probably a bad translation... but I get the idea sue -- no plastic tweezers around?

2:26 pm

uusue2

yeah, I get the idea too, but no tweezers of any sort so I am making do

2:26 pm

stidmama

*fuss fuss* if it even thinks about beginning to look odd, you get yourself right back to the doctor!!! *worried mama look* cat bites can be nasty

2:27 pm

stidmama

I am past halfway!

2:27 pm

uusue2

(ok, I guess that was backwards - try again)

2:27 pm

uusue2

and yes, crossy, cat bites often require antibiotics - I live with a psychotic cat and have had much unfortunate experience with this

2:27 pm

stidmama

so like if you install the batteries wrong, the laser shoots out and annihilates whatever is behind you instead of what is in front, right? *wicked science look*

2:27 pm

crosshair

was my son stidmama:) but he is anitinflamitories and antibiotics,he had all shots needed for job with strays being taken care of

2:28 pm

crosshair

and 3 stiches in 4 places

2:28 pm

crosshair

was a jumbo tom that latched onto him

2:28 pm

stidmama

oh -- I see it now "crossyson" *sigh* my visual units are a little off today

2:29 pm

crosshair

poor kid was breaking up a cat fight

2:30 pm

stidmama

I like cats in general, and we would have some if I weren't allergic, but ... oh! I saw our FOX Monday night! He was looking VERY healthy and sassy. :-) Now I need to lurk with my ipad at dusk to see if I can get a pic of him.

2:30 pm

crosshair

if she does the batteries wrong,it will make holes in her chalkboard:)

2:30 pm

uusue2

ok, that didn't work either. Looks like the little connector spring inside is oddly bent.

2:30 pm

bichon

I don't see myself ever living with a cat. I need a met who loves to walk and run in the woods

2:30 pm

stidmama

oh gee cross -- teach him about staying out of catfights...

2:30 pm

bichon

*pet

2:30 pm

crosshair

if oddly bent sue,add a small ball of tinfoil before the watch type batteries go in

2:31 pm

stidmama

bichon -- our Lucky loves to walk and run in the woods... without me! LOL I don't go fast enough for him, so he takes off on his own when my back is turned.

2:31 pm

stidmama

what chance of that making an arc that is bad, cross?

2:31 pm

crosshair

his job stidmama,all these animals have to be healed,fixed and examined and hopefully find forever homes

2:31 pm

uusue2

well, it's touching the inside of the barrel, and I suspect it's not supposed to. Trying to put a bit of paper to insulate.

2:32 pm

uusue2

and stid, we're talking about 3 volts here, don't worry about me :-)

2:32 pm

crosshair

not much stidmama,we are talking of tiny voltages here

2:32 pm

crosshair

snap

2:32 pm

stidmama

*wink* was talking about the other kind of catfight...

2:33 pm

stidmama

Sue, I watched the latest NOVA and it was all about sunspots and solar storms and such. It was FASCINATING.

2:34 pm

sallyds

I've always thought tossing a pail of water on a cat fight was the most efficient way to break it up. ;)

2:35 pm

stidmama

hey sally

2:36 pm

crosshair

mm,machine did a hicuup..re: the cat fight the other kind,do not worry us guys would pull up a chair and get some popcorn going;))

2:37 pm

stidmama

LOL cross!

2:37 pm

crosshair

did it show the big flare from last month stidmama?? that was a wild one!

2:37 pm

uusue2

ok, I give up, will have to take it home where I have some tiny tools

2:38 pm

uusue2

nova sounds cool, stid! I have an app from the SDO (solar dynamics observatory) on my phone so can watch them in real time

2:38 pm

crosshair

brb

2:38 pm

stidmama

I think it was made earlier than that, but it showed the big one from last February. Very interesting. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for a photon to make it from the core to the surface, and then only 8 minutes from there to here. Amazing. *shakes head in wonder*

2:39 pm

stidmama

if I had an app like that, sue, I think I wouldn't get anything done at all. Having Babble available is bad enough...

2:40 pm

stidmama

well, down to 49. should take a break and see if there are any new jobs posted... back soon. *poof*

2:41 pm

4:46 pm

periwinkle

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not Wegmans- the other.

4:47 pm

MollyL

I can't wait for our Wegman's to be built.

4:47 pm

westford

what is Wegmans? like Macy's ?

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Super duper supermarket

4:48 pm

periwinkle

I knew that, Kap. she is almost 800 pounds and wants to get to 1600 :(

4:48 pm

MollyL

No, it's a grocery store. And the one in Virginia HAS A BAR IN IT!

4:48 pm

periwinkle

Wegmans is a supermarket

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

She will bne dead first

4:48 pm

periwinkle

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

let me think ...

4:49 pm

jessmom

The one in Downingtown has beer and wine.

4:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know! The most obscure person in the world!

4:49 pm

MollyL

Brings a whole new joy to grocery shopping.

4:50 pm

periwinkle

Wegmans was voted the best supermarket

4:50 pm

westford

I could use that

4:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I want to be competitively obscure. I want the championship of obscurity.

4:50 pm

jessmom

I was at the cafe there this morning using the free wifi.

4:50 pm

westford

we seem to have a Stop 'N' Shop monopoly here

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm so obscure that I am completely overshadowed by Wegmans!

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In fact I have to go- one more client and I drop.

4:51 pm

MollyL

We are trying to give you your wish, Kap.

4:52 pm

westford

not so Kap..unless you would also like to be a super market

4:53 pm

westford

I got the nicest early Mother's Day present..an outdoor bonsai

4:53 pm

westford

First daughter sent it from Seattle

4:53 pm

MollyL

The only thing more clever than a grocery store with a bar, is the college town chain of laundromats with bars in them, called "Bar Of Soap".

4:54 pm

periwinkle

nice, west

4:54 pm

MollyL

Lovely gift, Westford.

4:54 pm

westford

oh man Molly I wish I'd thought of that

4:54 pm

MollyL

Can you imagine what a money maker that is?

4:54 pm

westford

it's a darling little gardenia

4:55 pm

MollyL

I've heard the outdoor bonsai do much better than the indoor ones. Enjoy it.

4:55 pm

westford

I used to refer to laudromats as laundry prisons

4:56 pm

MollyL

They are prisons. And back when we were using them, we didn't have tablets and smart phones to while away the time.

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yesterday I was on the subway across from a whole row of people, and I noticed something weird...

4:57 pm

westford

before we got our washer/dryer for the cottage it was sooo awful

4:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not one of them had earbuds or wires dangling from their heads, and 4 of them were reading printed matter!

4:57 pm

westford

yes Kap?

4:58 pm

westford

I hope you took a picture

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

One was even reading a hard copy of Catcher in the Rye.

4:58 pm

westford

was it some kind of time warp?

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't have my cellphone camera.

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was great.

5:00 pm

westford

nothign but the finest at chez crossy

5:50 pm

Bugsaw

you sure aren't wasting your life by taking up space.

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

i have never understood why there isn't a plural hawaiian goose

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

but i take up a lot of space hahaha

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorry but sn5/10y is so a word!

5:53 pm

crosshair

the facial expression??

5:53 pm

crosshair

or the sleep sound?

5:53 pm

Bugsaw

before she smacked us for being stupid, my mother and/or grandmother would say, " You are such a waste of space" and now that I am that miserable, I understand what they mean with some kids.

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

exactly or the tone of voice

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

oh bugs!

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

*runs up to canada with lavender*

5:54 pm

Bugsaw

we did a thing in class where we asked the kids to think of a way they could make the world a better place. Most of the kids came up with fantastic ideas and I was so impressed by their passion

5:55 pm

crosshair

you are/were a teacher bugsaw,so you should not feel miserable or a waste of space,a teacher i can no longer remember once gave me the greatest gift of my life and it was free

5:55 pm

Bugsaw

but a few of them refused to participate and took 0 for the mark because they didn't care about anyone else but themselves. It was amazing and saddened me greatly

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

oh but think about what made them that way. . .their parents must be so depressed!

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

Today I got to go to a showcase for all the kids from 5 schools who took on the project and it was such a great day for me! I believe in people again

5:57 pm

crosshair

i was a tad slow in the younger grades and this teacher took the time and the patience to teach little crossy to read,a priceless gift

5:57 pm

crosshair

yaa for bugsaw!!

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

today my sister was talking about her low self-esteem and i said. . . and how did our parents do anything for our self-esteem

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

yay bugs

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

i am glad for you crossy. . . i was lucky enough to be the youngest of 5 avid readers so learned to read at 3 or 4 (depending on who's story you believe)

5:58 pm

Bugsaw

You both get my point. I became an EA to be the cure to the kind of upbringing I had. I never met a kid I could not work with until this year and I think I am just worn out

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

oh bugs {{{bugs}}} hang in there they need you

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

*gladly walks to the pb*

6:00 pm

Bugsaw

thanks jmc. they only need me for 30 more working days.

6:00 pm

crosshair

now there is a interesting thought..suppose you time traveled back to just as you were fighting to learn to read,but know what you know now,all the books you have read,all the books you have loved and all the books yet to be read..there you are but you are back before you could read again..what would you pay to have it restored to you?? what intrisic value would it then have,if not freely taught to you long ago?

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

then you retire??

6:00 pm

MollyL

Bugs, I am sure you made a difference in a lot of young lives. Try to keep your focus there.

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

i would kill to be able to read

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

*carefully sets cape aside*

6:01 pm

Bugsaw

yup. i am so looking forward to it. My husband is 8 years older than I am and I want to have happy memories with him too

6:01 pm

mkg

clue for the 8 please and the 7s?

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

i know that a year before my mother died a former student found my sister on fb and asked about her

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

about my mother that it

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

teachers mean so much they should be billionaires

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

my mother was not a very good mother but she was a fabulous teacher (and i am the only person who had both experiences with her)

6:03 pm

MollyL

It is a true testament to those who teach that they will do it for the crap salaries they are given.

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

she did so much good as a teacher i forgave her for being a less than wonderful mother

6:04 pm

Bugsaw

I want to leave now before I say something horrible to a kid like my mother did. I have so many good memories of working with kids that no one else had time for. WW-e are all better people for the time we spent together.

6:04 pm

jmcnrick

you would never do that bugs. . .tempting though it might be

6:05 pm

MollyL

And that, is a great way to go out Bugs. Good for you.

6:05 pm

jmcnrick

(being a parent really helped me see how people could abuse their kids. . .but i never did)

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

I second that jmc. I loved my kids so much but some days were harder than others.

6:07 pm

mkg

if i started a society teachers would get top dollar. then the best would stay. often they leave.

6:07 pm

Lamaze suggests a focal point. It can be one inside your head. She was a goon.
