what the heck is the singular for a dental cavity? I keep trying it... not working. says not in enable at all, only the plural, hmmm...
12:50 am
rbud
caries is okay, (not here in grid, though) but no singular?
12:51 am
jillibus
I think the singular would end with ie
12:51 am
rbud
"not found in dictionary" - I thought so too.
12:52 am

just another one of those oddball things...
12:54 am

12:54 am

yes, tried it with ie, and it said "not found in dictionary" - is that the comment you mean?

might as well tell another possibly boring ta4 - my sister's van got stolen on Friday, from in front of her home. (she left the keys in it for a bit while hauling in bags of groceries.) Sat. morning, the police called - the silly woman who stole it took it to the very place my sister bought it, only a few weeks ago - pretended to be her, and tried to sell it back to him. Guy knew it wasn't my sis, called the cops. Funny, huh?

she took the keys with her, so now sis needs her locks changed at home, too.

(they didn't find the keys and she wouldn't say what she did with them) Okay, done rambling.
1:18 am

having perfect weather..not too hot, not too cold..just right lol
8:21 am
crosshair
we have a hot one(for us) on tap today will go over 30c
8:21 am
westford
then it must be heading this way : (
8:22 am
westford
shouldn't complain..it is summer after all
8:23 am

8:23 am
crosshair
ilive for spring and fall:)
8:23 am
westford
and thanks for the ac7
8:23 am
crosshair
it is a very nice unit and is working flawlessly.glad we bought it
8:24 am
crosshair
and nice to have an ac unit that you do not have to jam in a window and can be moved around
8:24 am
westford
my husband has one in his basement office he loves his too
8:25 am
westford
it wouldn't have been possible to install a window unit down there
8:26 am
crosshair
had some sticker shock at first,but i got a high btu unit and it does 90% of the space all except for the bed room at the very end of the hall
8:27 am
westford
wow that's great
8:28 am
westford
do you use a fan in that bedroom?
8:28 am
westford
window fan that draws the cool air in?
8:29 am
crosshair
no,we actuall have a fan that sits in the corner at the far end of the hallways and pushes the cold air down
8:29 am
westford
sounds like that works
8:29 am
crosshair
pulls it down from the living room
8:29 am
Scrabbler
Clue for the ending of that ac7, Crossy?
8:29 am
crosshair
just on low speed is all that is needed
8:30 am
crosshair
sugar= dextr***

8:30 am
westford
you don't generally get such hot weather do you?
8:31 am
westford
hi scrab
8:31 am
crosshair
no,we do not.we have had more days over 90f than ever before
8:31 am
crosshair
and the winder was a shadow of what it used to be and ended a month and a half early
8:31 am
westford
I have a feeling that's going to be the norm.
8:32 am
crosshair
anyone who doubts global warming should come see our northen areas..what a mess
8:33 am
beachboggle
amen to that crossy!
8:33 am
westford
did you see the pictures of Greenland from space..shocking
8:33 am
crosshair
the perma frost is melting and creating great big sink holes that collape in on themselves,and we are fighting the russians now for nothern shipping lanes that never existed 10 years ago
8:34 am
crosshair
shocking indeed!
8:34 am
crosshair
ask our inuit peoples
8:35 am
crosshair
our insect breeding cycles are all out of whack.spring came so early and it got so warm so fast that many insects had two or even 3 breeding cycles
8:37 am
westford
we need to change the way we live and that's a tall order
8:38 am
crosshair
many deer and moose gave birth prematurly hibernation cycles were a mess
8:38 am
crosshair
may be too late westofrd.the thing is almost self perpetuating now,less ice mean less heat refration ,means more melting,means less ice
8:39 am
crosshair
we would have to go all nuclear power and all electric cars..tomorrow
8:39 am
crosshair
no coal,zero
8:40 am
westford
what about wind power?
8:40 am
westford
and nuclear power scares me
8:40 am
crosshair
we would have to learn to rebehave in our use of power,wind alone cannot cover it
8:41 am
crosshair
or more individual power sources,more people going off the grid
8:41 am
westford
real horses vs horse power
8:41 am
crosshair
i can put in a combo solar wind kit for this place that would have me off the grid in 6 months..cost is $12,000 plus installation
8:42 am
westford
that sounds reasonable but coming up with the money up front is not so easy
8:43 am
crosshair
lol,westford,not practical,would be like old days,small communities all cut off from another,cause you cannot do a quick 500 mile trip on a horse
8:43 am
crosshair
we got rid of all our smaller town train lines and junctions years ago,so that infrastructure is no longer there to suppliment horses as in the old days
8:43 am
westford
yes I know the bucolic lifestyle would not be practical but somehow it sounds heavenly
8:44 am
crosshair
we cannot go back to little house on the prarie:(
8:44 am
westford
I think I'd like it for about one day lol
8:44 am
crosshair
does it not? you look at the amish and the mennonites and almost start thinking
8:45 am
crosshair
not the religious part of it,but just the lifestyle
8:45 am
westford
just have to figure out how to run my laptop
8:46 am
crosshair
the old farm steam tractors did that westford
8:46 am
crosshair
belts to turbines,or whater wheels or grist mill stones
8:47 am
westford
I could hook up our three cats
8:47 am
crosshair
i sawe a eary picture of a steam tractor with belts running to a wringer washer lol
8:47 am
westford
I'll just take the dirty clothes to a stream and beat them on a rock
8:48 am
crosshair
yea,how would you like to pound out all the weekly washing on a scrub board over a big metal basin with a jumbo bar of that sunlight laundry soap? lol
8:48 am
westford
no thanks lol
8:49 am
crosshair
at the hunt camp we had the big metal tub,we would toss all the clothes in there and toss in some liquid soap and just get right in there and dance on it for a bit.make a real big froth hehe
8:50 am
westford
our city is having disaster practice today..we're not to worry about troops in the streets
8:50 am
westford
now that sounds like a fun way to do laundry
8:51 am
crosshair
reminds me,for those who want a pre-made 72 hour disater /emergency kit for 2-8 people go to mountain house site it is very good

has 5 year shelf life
8:55 am
crosshair
for foodstuffs
8:56 am
westford
did you buy theirs or make your own?
8:57 am
crosshair
i bought thiers
8:57 am
westford
when we had the hurricane last year the worse thing was losing power..had a freezer full
8:58 am
crosshair
i have started canning more..freezing less
8:58 am
westford
need to buy a small generator before the next one
8:58 am
crosshair
this year is going to be my first full canning
8:59 am
crosshair
once all the veggies hit the shelves in sept
8:59 am
westford
I made peach jam once..lot of work
8:59 am
crosshair
got tired of paying $1.75 for a can of veggies
9:00 am
westford
do you grow your own veggies ?
9:00 am
crosshair
not jam so much,but i am going to do peas,beans,carrots,beets,small new taters in the quart jars,green beans etc
9:00 am
crosshair
no,once the harvest comes,i can buy them from local farm cheaply enough
9:00 am
Judi
Nice cans, baby. *wink wink*. Good morning, Babblers!
9:01 am
crosshair
howdy judi..and stop looking at my can
9:01 am
crosshair
i do plan on doing up some apple and grape jelly though,nice and easy to do
9:02 am
westford
everything goes up but salaries
9:02 am
westford
if you're lucky enough to have a job
9:02 am
crosshair
i refuse to pay almost 2 dollars for a can of veggies
9:04 am
westford
it's ridiculous
9:04 am
crosshair
i have enough jars to do 20 of each this year 80 pint jars and 20 quart jars and one case of those jelly jars
9:04 am
westford
good start then
9:05 am
crosshair
they were on sale for ten dollars a case(lids and rings extra)
9:05 am
westford
watch the price go sky high on those too
9:06 am
crosshair
so,130 dollars for jars,lids,rings,25 dollars for big bpoiler pot and tongs..so 155 all told,plus cost of the veggies
9:07 am
westford
good planning on your part
9:08 am
crosshair
so this year if i spend 55 on the veggies,i will just break even over store can prices,but will not need to buy equipment next year
9:08 am
westford
something tells me by the time you get your canning done the price at the supermarket will have doubled
9:09 am
crosshair
after doing test runs,i figure 10 8 hour days will have all the jars filled
9:09 am
Judi
I wish we could have a garden. We would grow so many goodies. Unfortunately, the critters would be the only ones who would benefit. Maybe one of those pop up greenhouses...
9:09 am
crosshair
ten 8 hour days*
9:10 am
crosshair
so,doing the math for next years canning the veggies will cost 50 cents a quart jar
9:10 am
westford
hey not bad
9:10 am

9:16 am
westford

what's bookworm?
10:26 am
car.eeyore
It is a spelling game...the best one, though, is Bookworm Adventures! That is for the PC and the game is awesome! You spell words to defeat creatures from books!
10:26 am

Hello everyone :) ah Stid, maybe it'll be worth it to be able to watch the birds!
2:52 pm
andrew in drag
Hello Molly :) good sentiment in your profile!
2:53 pm
stidmama
LOL andrew! unfortunately, it's in the orchard down the hill a little way (behind a screen of chestnut and native shrubs. But, we get to watch the birds a lot anyway. :-D
2:54 pm
andrew in drag
ah, that's too bad! I have managed to attract some birds to my windowsill. They drive the dog bonkers.
2:54 pm
stidmama
what kind of birds? are you in the city then?
2:55 pm
andrew in drag
Oh, mainly chubby old pigeons, if I'm honest. I live in the east end of london :)
2:55 pm
stidmama
oooh. pigeons in london! *sings appropriate song from mary poppins* *wicked mama grin*
2:56 pm
andrew in drag
Haha! More than tuppence a bag these days, I'm afraid :P
2:56 pm
stidmama
if you have pigeons, then you must have peregrines around, too, I think -- high up on ledges of older buildings.
2:57 pm
stidmama
we have mourning doves (like pigeons, only a softer gray with black spots and a white belly) -- thinner of course because they are wild; and hawks. And a lot of woodland birds.
2:57 pm
andrew in drag
Oh, I'd have to google them to know them. I'm afraid my knowledge of birds doesn't go far beyond the very common!
2:57 pm
stidmama
Do you have swallows? I think there are some types that really like cities -- cliff swallows; and of course you must have starlings. Those invasive rats with wings came from your island!
2:58 pm
stidmama
:-) I think birds are fascinating.
2:58 pm
stidmama
Of course, I think most critters are fascinating... and plants too. *offers flowers from garden to dress up andrew's windowsill*
2:59 pm
andrew in drag
Hawks must be interesting to see. Back in Berlin my neighbourhood sort of 'adopted' a kite. It was incredible to see it swooping around! A massive thing.
2:59 pm
stidmama
NICE! we don't have kites around here I think... hold on though it might be a common name. I'll look it up.

Hi science, stid, Andrew!

I can imagine -- we used to have a small dog and I worried when the eagles were nearby. Raptors are not a lot of fun for small critters.
3:04 pm
andrew in drag
Oh yes, I wouldn't reckon my little dog against any of those birds. As people are fond of telling me, he looks enough like a rat to be convincing!
3:04 pm

ours was a "mutt-a-poo" part poodle part terrier, I think
3:06 pm

He's a little chihuahua. He's the only dog teeny enough to fit in my box-sized apartment!

3:17 pm
stidmama
ooooh! sounds like nice news.
3:18 pm
uusue2
some savory jams have vinegar (like hot pepper jam). I figured it was unlikely, though :=)
3:18 pm
uusue2
and yay for mcurl!!!!!!
3:18 pm
stidmama
warn her -- big sistering is NOT all it's cracked up to be.
3:18 pm
MollyL
Ah, I never think of those as jams.
3:18 pm
uusue2
and also no grapes, turns out he's sensitive to grapes (go figure)
3:18 pm
mcurlschool
I was worried about how Heather would take the news after her losing their expected one but Laura says she let Barry tell her and it appeared she was OK. BUT I KNOW she was hurting a great deal inside because now that's two new babies for our family--My niece is due the same time Barry and Heather were due.
3:19 pm
MollyL
Damn Sue, he's got a lot of food issues.
3:19 pm
stidmama
me neither, molly -- although I suppose it makes sense. I don't do a lot of savory things for storage. Prefer them fresh.
3:20 pm
uusue2
he does, molly. Besides the wheat, barley, and rye, there's some tree nuts, vinegar, and we just found out about the grapes a couple of months ago. I am now in the process of giving away the grapes from my vines.
3:20 pm
mcurlschool
PJ is to young to know that right now! I'm sure she'll figure it out a little later!
3:20 pm
stidmama
*sending protective healing bubble to Heather* her time will come.
3:21 pm
stidmama
oh -- plums okay still? I know it's a different plant.
3:21 pm
uusue2
and we are going to get to see you, aren't we, stid? I've beenb so busy that I haven't gotten the details of my trip worked out, but we'll be there!
3:21 pm
stidmama
so probably no wine, either -- if grapes and vinegar are out...
3:21 pm
stidmama
yes, I am planning on being at bugs' in a couple weeks!
3:21 pm
uusue2
yes, plums are fine, as are all other fruits as far as I know.
3:22 pm
uusue2
RIght, no wine or beer (except gluten-free beer). Distilled spirits are ok (as is distilled vinegar). I have become very good at reading labels.
3:22 pm
uusue2
This is going to be so much fun!!!
3:22 pm
stidmama
But I am thinking that it's better to ship it to you or give it to you once we are back stateside because I don't know if I can bring home-preserved foods back into the U.S.
3:23 pm
stidmama
I have been liking the gluten-free beers -- I used to think I didn't like "beer" because of the hops. But maybe my body was telling me something about the gluten-containing ingredients.
3:23 pm
stidmama
thanks, Legend!
3:23 pm
uusue2
Ah. I would think that things in jars would be ok (I've certainly brought them back from Europe). Usually they are only fussy about things that might carry bugs.
3:24 pm
stidmama
yes, but home-prepared and commercially-prepared are often calculated differently. And you have to come in our direction on your way home almost no matter what your port of reentry
3:24 pm
andrew in drag
Ah yes, I think generally everything in jars is alright, apart from sometimes honey.
3:25 pm
uusue2
130 words in, and I finally found my dog in the grid :-P
3:25 pm
mcurlschool
I know it takes time with miscarriages and she'll be fine; It's not like Laura and Eric knew all this was going to happen to them. I keep my eye on her and let her know I'm always here. I am trying to keep her focused on the wedding!
3:25 pm
stidmama
So while I know I can bring home-canned materials TO Canada, I am not sure I can go the other way. I'll look at the customs website.
3:25 pm
uusue2
also true, stid; anyway I am sure we will figure it out, and it is very sweet of you to think of us!
3:25 pm
uusue2
also true, stid; anyway I am sure we will figure it out, and it is very sweet of you to think of us!
3:26 pm
uusue2
oops - sorry about the bobble!
3:26 pm
stidmama
I was hit so hard for a couple months after my miscarriages, it was difficult at times to believe I would feel better.
3:26 pm
uusue2
we'll be thinking of her, mcurl!
3:26 pm
stidmama
It seemed so unfair.
3:27 pm
stidmama
On the other hand, ended up with two half-way decent offspring, and so I guess in the long run it turned out okay.
3:27 pm
hego
stid did you know I'm coming to Bugs's?
3:27 pm
stidmama
oops. Legend disappeared... come back, Legend!!!!
3:27 pm
stidmama
hey hego!
3:28 pm
stidmama
*sets Legend trap with very nice choclits, home-made gooseberry and plum jams and fresh from the bush blueberries picked this morning*
3:28 pm
stidmama
YES! I know and I am SO HAPPY!!!!! *bounce bounce* I just adore meeting babblers... just about the only time I have ever felt at home and comfortable in a group larger than two.
3:28 pm
mcurlschool
She's a tough girl. She'll get through it. Besides--She has a 5 year old and Barry has a 5 year old but starting kindergarten and it's amazing that they actually look like they COULD be twins! They'll have their hands full. (Barry's son does not leave with them)
3:29 pm

3:30 pm

3:30 pm
TheLegend
hows bu you?
3:31 pm
stidmama
I am making progress in the garden and occasionally keeping up with housework. So hard to expend energy inside when it's lovely outside. :-)
3:32 pm
TheLegend
indeed..:)
3:32 pm
uusue2
past half way!
3:32 pm
saanichcat
yes I am coming, but I may make a several day trip of it as I have relatives and friends in the area but will confirm later - may still need a ride, thanks!
3:32 pm
stidmama
Hego -- I heard that you are going up through the islands with a rental car, but if you want to come across with us, there would be room.
3:32 pm
stidmama
:-) okay saanich, just holler.
3:33 pm
saanichcat
will do! many thanks.
3:33 pm
stidmama
mcurl, I know you are busy, or I would twist your arm too.
3:33 pm
hego
No, stid we are staying for a few days and need our car to get back to the airport
3:33 pm
stidmama
hmph. stuck at 82...
3:33 pm
stidmama
okay hego -- you are going to LOVE where Bugs lives! I haven't been to her house, but it is such a beautiful area.
3:33 pm
uusue2
(maybe I should get a little work done...)
3:33 pm
stidmama
go sue o!
3:33 pm
hego
and I already have my ferry reservations, anyway.
3:34 pm
stidmama
or go.... I still need the 9
3:34 pm
uusue2
9 is plural of the 8
3:34 pm
hego
Stid, do you know where we are getting together?
3:34 pm
saanichcat
good plan Hego.
3:34 pm
stidmama
I don't know if we have thought quite that far ahead yet... *wonders where bugs is*
3:35 pm
uusue2
wow, I haven't even thought about the ferry yet! I guess I'd better start thinking about it...
3:35 pm
stidmama
oh. I guess I still need the 8. hold on... *thinking*
3:35 pm
uusue2
let me know if you want a hint...
3:36 pm
hego
if you go near the weekend Sue those ferries can be booked up
3:36 pm
uusue2
yes, I will have to figure out what i am doing.
3:36 pm
stidmama
sue, there are several options -- go up to Vancouver and come across from Tsawassen (Jillibus does that a lot), go up through the San Juan islands (a good place to see whales), or up/down the Olympic peninsula (our usual route, cheapest for us).
3:36 pm
hego
it will work out
3:37 pm
stidmama
I think I do want a hint, sue -- at least first two and count?
3:37 pm
uusue2
I have a very small car, maybe they can squeeze it on :-)
3:37 pm
hego
I am visiting in Seattle first.
3:37 pm
hego
with a shoehorn sue? lol
3:38 pm
stidmama
Seattle has a couple of very nice museums and some decent gardens (the Arboretum is lovely), and the library is nifty too.
3:38 pm
stidmama
okay, thanks sue
3:38 pm
saanichcat
there is a ferry from seattle to victoria and then about a four-hour drive up Vancouver Island
3:38 pm
hego
I have been there lots of times Stid.
3:38 pm
hego
but never to BC.
3:39 pm
uusue2
I have been to Seattle but only by plane, never drove, so haven't seen much of the surrounding area. Am very much looking forward to it!
3:40 pm
saanichcat
it's absolytely beautiful
3:40 pm
hego
I have a kid over in Kitsap.
3:40 pm
stidmama
You'll love coming over the passes, sue -- the mountains are beautiful
3:40 pm
stidmama
I think I do need a little more, sue
3:41 pm
jmcnrick
*sulking*
3:41 pm
doseffing
... while the ferry from Seattle to Victoria is undoubtedly an amazing trip ... it is relatively expensive ... ... it's much less expensive to drive up from Seattle to Tsawassen and take the ferry to Schwartz Bay ... or even to Salt Spring to visit Jilli and Flosey
3:41 pm
stidmama
JMC!!! (((hugs)))
3:41 pm
stidmama
hey doseinthegrid!
3:41 pm

no fair that i can't come this time
3:41 pm
uusue2
hi jmc and dos!
3:42 pm
uusue2
I'll have to bookmark this chat for ferry hints...
3:42 pm
hego
I am taking the Anacortes ferry
3:42 pm
stidmama
I still think maybe your sister could spring for the plane tickets, jmc? Instead of the other place?
3:42 pm
hego
is that good?
3:42 pm
jmcnrick
haha that's an idea
3:42 pm
uusue2
ex8/70 is sort of like a former box (sounds like - not what it means)
3:42 pm
stidmama
Anacortes is the expensive route, but it will be BEAUTIFUL!
3:43 pm
saanichcat
worth the trip, whales etc
3:43 pm
stidmama
thinking again ... my brain is starting to hurt
3:43 pm
cosdem
ac7 please
3:43 pm
doseffing
... Check out BC Ferries ... from the Tsawassen or North Van to Schwartz Bay (south end of the island ) or Nanaimo (middle of the island). It used to be about $28 for the car. I arrived for a 4:00 friday afternoon boat in summer and didn't have to wait.
3:44 pm
jmcnrick
hubby and i took the ferry from puget sound to victoria (i think)
3:44 pm
doseffing
... amazing trip ... ... but five years ago it was about $200
3:44 pm

ac4/5 minus s, + anagram of digits that fit in your socks!
3:44 pm

if you have the ex4/10 word, stid, the ex8/70 has the same first four letters
3:44 pm
MollyL
ac7...high card + sugar ending
3:44 pm
saanichcat
NOT 28 $ anymore; it is hugely expensive ie 60$ range
3:45 pm
cosdem
ugh i thought about that word but thought it wasnt right lol tyvm
3:45 pm
stidmama
The Black Ball line out of Pt Angeles is the cheapest option in general -- not elegant like some of the others, but relatively quick and painless.
3:45 pm
hydra
That's a better clue than mine, Molly!
3:45 pm
cosdem
close stiid
3:45 pm
stidmama
NOT in PB ... but only barely.
3:45 pm

the anacortes was 80 something
3:45 pm

the Black Ball route id the prettiest to drive through though
3:46 pm

3:46 pm
stidmama
GOT the 8/9!!!! thank you thank you!
3:46 pm
doseffing
... haven't been since Christmas 2007 ... ... but it's still a lot less than the Seattle boat ... though undoubtedly not as scenic
3:46 pm
uusue2
are these prices one way or round trip?
3:46 pm
jmcnrick
wtg stid
3:46 pm
doseffing
... one way
3:46 pm
saanichcat
one way
3:47 pm
stidmama
hey cos -- how are you doing? is your community recovering from the fires? I have been wondering, the national news has gone on to other things, but I know you-all are still in the middle of it.
3:47 pm
hego
one way, yes
3:47 pm
cosdem
actually the local news dont even talk about the fire anymore
3:47 pm
cosdem
its still going on though
3:47 pm
stidmama
How long are you going to be in BC sue?
3:47 pm
saanichcat
BC Ferries reservations charges are2 15$ BUT WELL WORTH IT. PEAK TOURIST SEASON AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WASTE TIME IN A THREE-HOUR BACK-UP.
3:48 pm
uusue2
are you doing ok, cos? How's the air?
3:48 pm
stidmama
you sound emphatic, saanich
3:48 pm
uusue2
dunno, stid, that's one of the things I haven't figured out yet. We'll leave here August 13 and need to be back no later than the night of the 24th; other than that it's all still up in the air.
3:49 pm
uusue2
I'm going to try to visit Nef in Minneapolis either on the way out or on the way home.
3:49 pm
stidmama
If you are driving sanely, it's about 5 or 6 days from your place to ours.
3:49 pm
stidmama
If you drive like my paternal unit, you can do it in about three...
3:50 pm
stidmama
And LBD and Jilly in MT? I think harpjane lives around there, too.
3:50 pm
uusue2
I was figuring three days at least, as I'd like to drive mostly in daylight (not because I have trouble with night driving but because I want to see the scenery!)
3:50 pm
stidmama
LOL you could probably plan it so you get a decent meal from a babbler all the way across...
3:51 pm
uusue2
yes, we will probably also see LBD and Jilly. Lots of planning yet to come...
3:51 pm
doseffing
... twelve hours a day ... you're there half way through the third day ...
3:51 pm

That is a hellofa lot of driving.
3:51 pm

But that is SUCH a lot of sitting, doseffing! OH -- how did it work out with that reluctant student?
3:53 pm
doseffing
... I left midtown Montreal 10 oclock Tuesday and made the Friday 4:00 pm ferry at Tsawassen ... Mondtreal is 14 hours east of Chicago
3:53 pm

3:53 pm

I actually like driving, so that's no problem.
3:54 pm

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

oh boy. *rolls ey4 dramatically*
3:56 pm

And I would say that they are digging their own graves...
3:56 pm
doseffing
... basically I told them the questions on the exam ... but they don't realize yet
3:56 pm
doseffing
... digging deep
3:56 pm
stidmama
how frustrating that is! And these are students who supposedly really need this class
3:56 pm
doseffing
... you got it
3:56 pm
doseffing
... and they need it because they never did any homework
3:57 pm
doseffing
... so now ... they still don't do the homework
3:57 pm
uusue2
well, at least they are coming to you *before* the exam - the ones that used to really irritate me were the ones who would come by after the final and want to know how to inprove their grades
3:57 pm
stidmama
sorry, at least you get paid whether they do the work or not...
3:58 pm
stidmama
Well - we are going in to town. Can we bring anything back for you-all? I'll be making the plum jelly later this evening, and currant jelly, too. We finally have everything we need for this.
3:58 pm

... they're real losers ... but I told them I was going to give them a test on transforming trig functions ... ... I did a bunch of examples Friday ... and they still did nothing

3:59 pm

stidmama
see you-all in a while *poof*
4:00 pm
doseffing
... hey ... I had one with a dead uncle this morning and another with mother in the hospital ... ... I'll cut them a break because they've been working fairly well (even though the vice wants to make examples of them) ... ... but maybe I'm just a sucker for a good sob story
4:00 pm

4:00 pm

... yup ... that's my view
4:01 pm

Oh, well you called it like it was in the grid.
So I wasted a little time looking for it.
5:27 pm

Oh no problem,... it was a word that should have been accepted in the grid. But there are legit words from time to time that aren't.

5:40 pm
Trifioso
thanks jmc! you always do!
5:40 pm
herinfernallady
Yes. They were a tad small now they fit comfy. It is really strange actually wearing warm fitting pjs instead of tents. I got them at the factory outlet. They are so warm
5:40 pm
jmcnrick

5:42 pm
jmcnrick
*starts tap dancing*
5:42 pm
herinfernallady
I am happy. I have lost at least 2 undie sizes and about 3 dress sizes. 20pounds down at last count. All from changing what we eat. Still eat the pringles and the chocolate but not the heavy foods like pizza and red meat all the time.
5:42 pm
Trifioso
some growing pains with the new fella....not sure what direction to head in....I suppose those are natural when just starting out though, right?
5:42 pm
MollyL
Yes, natural.
5:43 pm
herinfernallady
Yes they are Trifs and that is why communication is so important
5:43 pm
lynxxx
Well done Infernal, really well done
5:43 pm
jmcnrick
shout hallaluah come on get happy get ready for the judgement day
5:43 pm
herinfernallady
Seriously never thought that changing what we eat would make such a difference. I know that sounds silly but makes sense in my mind.
5:43 pm
jmcnrick
yes trif. . .
5:44 pm
Trifioso
Are you following a particular plan, herin?
5:44 pm
jmcnrick
i understand. . .you think how can these small things make a big difference?
5:44 pm
Trifioso
I think I am just nervous is all....it's still new, of course.
5:44 pm
herinfernallady
Nope. Just more veggies less dairy and red meat.
5:44 pm
jmcnrick
breathe in; breathe out
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
i could give up meat (not happily) but i don't think i could give up cheese
5:45 pm
Trifioso
trying. trying to work on not over-analyzing, second guessing, and freaking out -- all my strong suits
5:45 pm
MollyL
I truly don't have the stamina to go through the whole dating ritual again.
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!
5:45 pm
Trifioso
not sure I do either, molly. It's EXHAUSTING trying to figure out what it all means.
5:45 pm
Trifioso
RUN JMC!
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
i would love to go through it again trif
5:45 pm

You're in rare form jmc! Hi everyone....
5:46 pm
MollyL
Exhausting...perfect word Trif.
5:46 pm
jmcnrick
do your ears hang low; do they swing to and fro; can you tie them in a knot can you tie them in a bow. . .
5:46 pm
Trifioso
I liked it at first - jumping whenever he phoned, heart pounding, the whole teenager-infatuation whirl. but then....
5:46 pm
lynxxx
Just enjoy it for what is Trif
5:46 pm
jmcnrick
hi champ. . .moi?
5:47 pm
ChampFit
Don't play innocent with me!
5:47 pm
MollyL
Alas, it never stays at the beginning part, Trif.
5:47 pm
jmcnrick
i can hardly wait until the kids in this neighborhood get old enough to stop the ice cream truck. . .i can't get down the stairs fast enough
5:48 pm
jmcnrick
thank god it never stays at the beginning!
5:48 pm
Trifioso
no, molly, and I didn't expect it too - but I am feeling more like its a bait and switch....
5:48 pm
aebmusica
i must be stoooopid , i can't find the last fe5/20...any clues please
5:48 pm
MollyL
Yeah, but that's when a lot of relationships crumble. When the "newness" wears off.
5:48 pm
jmcnrick
no no no trif. . . it is all about focus
5:49 pm
Trifioso
I agree, molly. which leads to....I am exhaustd, trying to figure it all out.
5:49 pm
herinfernallady
JM you seen the Eddy Murphy sketch on ice cream truck?
5:49 pm
Trifioso
focus....that is a good word. and balance. it's a lot about balance too
5:49 pm
jmcnrick
before you go to bed think of what he did today that you appreciated and what you did for him that was a nice gift

MollyL
Oh my, this is getting all hearts and flowers-y
5:50 pm
Trifioso
OH HERIN! Car and I could tell you a story about that routine, and my mom in a hotel room in London, that would make you wet your pants!
5:50 pm
jmcnrick
even better tell him about both things
5:50 pm
MollyL
The Eddie Murphy routine on the ice cream man is hysterical.
5:50 pm
jmcnrick
hey molls i knows i am not known for my sensitivity . . . but i believes this shit
5:51 pm
Trifioso
I will try, jmc. I overanalyze EVERYTHING, which I can imagine gets exhausting from his point of view
5:51 pm
MollyL
And Trif...then...then sing him...I-aye-aye-aye, will ALWAYS LOVE YOU-oooooooo....
5:51 pm
jmcnrick
it is why i have a good relationship with the boy because i still do this so i don't want to punch him out
5:52 pm
Trifioso
eye roll - Molly!
5:52 pm
Uneaixoise
molly LOL!!
5:52 pm
jmcnrick
*glares at molls*
5:52 pm
jmcnrick
well i admit i * * sarcastically
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
*kicks the pb door*
5:53 pm
Trifioso
I think I get jiggy because I am raising two daughters who are looking to me as a guideline as to how to behave in a relationshp. Don't want to raise doormats
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
*screams uncontrollably*
5:53 pm
herinfernallady
I dont think you would Trifs
5:53 pm
MollyL
Trif, look at it this way. Guys don't analyze anything. They just fart, get another beer and go see what's on TV.
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
oh but actively focusing on why you like the guy is not being a door mat!
5:54 pm
jmcnrick
molls i need to introduce you to a better class of guy
5:54 pm
MollyL
It might be if he is not actively focusing on the same thing.
5:54 pm
Trifioso
jmc, I am quite clear on what I like, and why I like him, and all the rest. He gave it the full court press for the first month or so, and now....now not so much. and I have no idea how to interpret things
5:54 pm
herinfernallady
They do but they dont need to blab all day about it.
5:55 pm
lynxxx
what an odd word that ex6.36 is
5:55 pm
MollyL
Oh...he's slacking.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
actually i created this concept when my hubby was alive and it was all that held us together sometimes
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
but he did it too
5:56 pm
jmcnrick
okay Ann Landers is leaving the chog
5:56 pm
Trifioso
does that 6 extend for the nine, lynxxx?
5:56 pm
ChampFit
lynxxx...care to clue?
5:56 pm
jmcnrick
see you all later
5:56 pm
herinfernallady
But then again himself can be a total cave man and just grunt answers at me. Works either way
5:56 pm
Trifioso
thanks for listening ann!
5:56 pm
Trifioso
thanks lynxxx
5:56 pm
lynxxx
ex & the end of what an ant or fly is
5:56 pm
Trifioso

5:57 pm
MollyL
*Still pondering the concept of "better class of guy"*
5:57 pm
lynxxx
Yes Trif - try ex & vwl & a box/s
5:58 pm

I am listening in the background to the live feed from the paddle to squaxin. So many wonderful stories and songs... I wish I could go in person but not up to walking far right now. They are going to have several more days where each canoe family gets to share their culture a little bit with the others. Earlier there were Maori, and now the Tlingit... it's marvelous. But it means I keep wandering away to watch dancing!
6:59 pm
stidmama
hey dpom!
7:02 pm
Bugsaw
sounds like a wonderful event that I would enjoy stid.

Bugsaw
It sure is Molly. you might even need a tin foil hat!
7:29 pm
stidmama
yes, Bugs -- our local news didn't carry the landing. I am very sad... this is a MAJOR event and we have people from all over the world here, just one peninsula over at Kamilche. And the local paper has only a few pictures up from yesterday. Pretty shabby.
7:30 pm

7:31 pm
stidmama
I am so in love with the local coast salish culture and language -- it is not mine, but I wish it were. I honor their knowledge of the land and water, and think perhaps my ancestors felt the same about their land and water as my neighbors do.

I am sorry Min. It is discouraging when noone seems to care but at least you know more about Powerpoint and your first time jitters are over
7:38 pm
Minveryork
Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
7:38 pm
stidmama

7:39 pm
lynxxx
good one wht
7:40 pm
stidmama
It will definitely go quicker next time, Min -- just remember to always save your work each time you make a change or add a new slide... sometimes I haven't and sometimes that's a mistake!
7:40 pm
uusue2
I've done powerpoints under contract for a publisher - if you are a physics or astronomy professor and adopt one of about five or six books, you have the option of doing your lectures from powerpoints I wrote

I showed it to my students before presenting it and one kid said I made alot of mistakes.So I said,would you like to come and redo it?That shut him up!This the same kid who never paid attention in class, but of course he paid attention to all of my PowerPoint mistakes.
7:42 pm

I was le 5/14 about starting a big puzzle with little time But I did&quit after finding to 4/4 of words and getting a to5/10 of 2007 points. Now here is a story of clues for today's da4/5 July 30, 2012. The story today re 7/28 to my job as a teacher. I ea 4/4 a living as a teacher.Many of my students live in a poor area. Unfortunately, their parents didn't play their ca4/6s right and never went to college.My students are very low academically. But that do4/5 not matter. I re 4/4ly ca4/5 about the students I teach, even the obnoxious sn 5/10. I do 4/5 on them as much as I can. It just brings te4/4 to my ey4/4s to think about the sad home life of my students. I also fe 4/7 el 5/10d when I see a lightbulb go off in their heads when they understand something I've taught them.I try not to teach to the state te4/4s.I since4/5ly hope that they so 4/5 to bright futures with successful careers inst5/12 of dropping out of high school. I hope that when they are seniors, somebody st5/10s them in the right direction & encourages them to go to college. Some of my students are already shining st4/4s. Da4/5! My fe 4/7 wants the laptop!Better give the laptop to him before he becomes ira4/4. I hope that you've made no 4/4 of my clues and found some more words. By the way, this is not a tall ta 4/4. This story is true.I am going to get up on my fe4/7 and go watch Al 4/5 Baldwin in 30 Rock. I'll ra4/5 right back here la5/10 to help clue for the re 4/4 of the nite
