Or frisbees even.

7:40 am
MollyL
Not seeing Sue's PB violation. Must need more coffee. fe4 doesn't count.
7:40 am
MollyL
Oh fe5 does, duh.
7:41 am
kje
moving is tough annie - good and stressful at teh same time
7:41 am
Anniebrook
Molly, It was part of the lab name...it was not PB worthy..name of a scientist
7:41 am
Anniebrook
I'm too old to move but the change would be very hard on Bobby
7:42 am
Mom
that is quite a move, KJE. I hope you will enjoy it
7:43 am
Mom
a friend of our oldest, moved to SF. They pay $1200.00/mo. just for two rooms
7:43 am
kje
"too old to move" no such thing!
7:43 am
Anniebrook
SF is a beautiful place to live...I am sure you will be very happy living there.
7:43 am
hurshy
but so many hills...
7:43 am
Mom
I hear it is beautiful there
7:44 am
Anniebrook
kje, thanks for the encouragement..right now it is in the talking stage
7:44 am
kje
it is beautiful - and has the advantage of being a true city (walking friendly) as well as minutes from wonderful natuer... I am looking forward to the location, though not the cost of living
7:44 am
Mom
it is stressful to move but once you get settled it is very nice.
7:45 am
Anniebrook
hi hurshy..did you have your second interview?
7:45 am
kje
on the other hand, I will have to downsize and simplify - not necessarily a bad thing
7:45 am
Mom
no KJE, that is a very refreshing feeling.
7:45 am
hurshy
yes, and i thought it went well... we'll find out today - if i am still in the running i will be contacted to go meet the other staff tomorrow, so if i hear nothing i guess i'm out.

did i tell you all the story of when we were first married(the ass thing reminded me of this) she was 20 and i was 27 or thereabouts and we had friends the same age also newly married.well both the ladies were walking dynamite,legs that went on forever and buns of steel and everything we take for granted at that age. well were were over at their house for a fondue and a few drinks and the talk got around between the ladies over whose tushie was firmer,well my friend and i had to jump in on this one so we proposed a little contest,each of the ladies put on a skin tight pair of spandex pants and out to the kitchen we went,my buddy grabbed 2 eggs from the fridge and gave me one and kept one for himself,we had the ladies hold onto the kitchen counter with both hands facing the window away from us and we each placed the egg in the butt crack of our wives tushies and they gripped the egg while still wearing these tight spandex pants.now the rules are simple the woman who can hold the egg the longest will be crowed buns of steel champion.my buddy and i left them there and went to the closet and quietly got a pair of ping pong paddles and back into the kitchen we went where the ladies were still holding onto the raw eggs with supreme concentration. my buddy and i positioned ourselves and using hand singnals i gave a 3 count ..1...2....3 and whammo! we gave each one a good spank on the butt and broke the eggs:)

I just monkeyed it; it's just a crazy word that doesn't sound real and isn't in the dictionary.
4:36 pm
MollyL
Via, there are sooo many Babble words you could say that about.
4:37 pm
viajes
I know, but this one in particular sounds like one that was invented to rhyme with a real word or something
4:38 pm
viajes
Most just seem like "not English" whereas this one seems distinctly "made up to make children laugh"
4:40 pm
viajes
Or maybe I just like to think that every new crazy word is "special." And then I forget about it once the next particularly not-a-word word comes along.
4:40 pm
gramma
I never took typing so when I enter words I always have to look at the keyboard. Disadvantage when you aren't in the correct spot and you go on a tear. Finding words at super-human speed, only to realize you haven't entered them and now you can't remember half of them.

Hey there, quail.
6:45 pm
MollyL
Nice icon. A quail is a bird that can help you learn your soul name.
6:48 pm
quail
Molly, how?
6:52 pm
MollyL
The quail is associated with naming because the bob-white is in the quail family and bob-white speaks it's name. It's Native American folklore that meditating on quail can help you learn your soul name.
6:53 pm
gapeach
Cool, Molly.

Our ER is growing by leaps and bounds. When I worked in it there wasn't even an MD except on weekends. Now there are 3-4 RNS and during certain periods 2 MD's plus all the EMT's...it isn't little Hamilton any longer

A CUTE MD Jilly, don't forget the CUTE part. : )
7:30 pm

7:30 pm
periwinkle
nm, stupid plural
7:30 pm
MollyL
First do5/12 sounds like the plural of what you wear outside in the winter.
7:31 pm
Jillyjill
LOL molly, thought Nef and I had explained we were too old to much bother with an MD's looks....
7:31 pm
MollyL
Dammit! Forgot the Peri rule.

hmmmm....tough for a middle school to put on mad magazine as a musical, so I guess it's fiddler
8:00 pm
harpjane
If they can make the Bible and the Book of Mormon into a musical, why not Mad Magazine? Or do they think that might offend someone?
8:00 pm
HarryHood
Mad TV was such a disappointment
8:00 pm
MollyL
Oh, now I'm thinking Mad Magazine: The Musical. With a rousing "What Me Worry?" as the Act I finale.

i love what you do min. i want to make some semblance of a career in literacy and/or ESL. i have the skills but need further education, i think. my background is in journalism and psychology.
8:44 pm
wht
And good night all. I need to be off as well
8:45 pm
mab
anyway, i am going to volunteer with a literacy not for profit in town.
8:46 pm

8:50 pm
Dorens
nice mab - my cousin runs the literacy program in New Haven and it is so rewarding
8:51 pm
Christine
mab - check your local library - I volunteer through ours.
8:54 pm
mab
i have a passion for human rights, and language. and i think everyone has a right to learn to read. maybe i can make something work. new haven isn't terribly far from me.
8:55 pm
rururocks
I have passion for fine food, wine, art, and love.
8:55 pm
Dorens
ok, i'll try to dig up the info she gave me. funny thing is i just got an email from her today, so if i'll get it for you soon. If you just google literacy/esl in new haven you'll probably find it. Her name is Linda Klipper and she coordinates the volunteers, trains etc.
8:55 pm
Dorens
and puns, ru, don't forget the puns
8:56 pm
rururocks
oh.. right after food
8:56 pm
mab
oh, thank you dorens. i definitely will look it up.
8:57 pm
mab
oh yes, i nearly forgot = the right to pun.
8:57 pm
mab
i think that's in the u.n charter.
8:57 pm
rururocks

8:57 pm

8:58 pm
Dorens
no.. 33 left.. i guess you are ru?
8:58 pm
mab
speaking of puns
8:58 pm
Minveryork
Not me! I have ten more words left and it's a struggle
8:58 pm
rururocks
you power company will pay for those doren if you file a claim
8:59 pm
Dorens
oh. my insurance company said they would. didn't think about the power company, that's even better,... they won't raise my premium
8:59 pm
rururocks
we had one at our house and it fried everything
8:59 pm
mab
oh no. do you have insurance for that? wow.
8:59 pm
rururocks
you need to let them know every item
8:59 pm
mab
oh yes, you do.
8:59 pm
Dorens
it's weird.. the computer was ok, internet, but the phone part of the modem was gone
9:00 pm
Dorens
a fan in the bedroom,... stereo, one of two tv's and something in the hottub.
9:00 pm
rururocks
it melted our surge protector
9:00 pm
Dorens
such protection, eh? (my modem was on one too)
9:01 pm
rururocks
they paid $1500 towards a new TV
9:01 pm
mab
that's amazing. I've never heard of such a thing happening. I'd have to lie down with a cold cloth on my head for several weeks.
9:02 pm
Dorens
i am hoping for total replacement. old tv wsn't 1500..
9:02 pm
mab
is that how much televisions cost? wow
9:02 pm
Dorens
why mab? insurance doesn't pay for damage to your household items?
9:02 pm
rururocks
I had to use a metal spatula to pry up the surge protector
9:03 pm
mab
i rent. but i'd still be prostrate.
9:03 pm

9:03 pm
Dorens
oh. they have renter's insurance, don't they/ for theft, damage, etc
9:04 pm
Dorens
mine is flatscreen new, but just a 32 inch from costco that doesn't connect to computer, etc. it is the one down in the "exercise room"
9:04 pm
Dorens
but maybe i should upgrade
9:04 pm
mab
oh yes. i'm just very easily distressed. i love my electric appliances. if they died it would be like camping.
9:05 pm
rururocks
where do you plug in camping?
9:05 pm
Dorens
i'm such a ditz ru.. didn't occur to me i guess i need a new surge protector by the computer. (as well as the other items that burned out)
