7:13 am

MollyL

I am so spoiled that if I get up and realize I forgot to set the timer (and my coffee isn't ready when I hit the kitchen) I just stand by the coffeemaker and wait, impatiently.

7:14 am

Anniebrook

Aren't we lucky that we can be spoiled?

7:15 am

MollyL

There are very few ways in which I can be spoiled. I take it where I can get it.

9:12 am

Judi

Yl4. Babblet that appears every now and then.

9:12 am

crosshair

In the Roman Empire, going blonde wasnâ€™t exactly a fashion statement. At the time, light-colored hair was associated with the barbarian women of Gaul and Germany who often ended up as slaves in brothels. Consequently, Roman law required all prostitutes to dye their hair blonde in order to distinguish themselves from â€œproper,â€ dark-maned ladies.

9:12 am

car.eeyore

Ty Judi!

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Oh crap. Time to redye my hair again.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all. I wanted to find over a 100 words before joining the chat. Well, Crossy, I am very proper with my dark brown hair.

9:13 am

Judi

Interesting, Crossy. I now realize that the mini-series "Rome" that aired on HBO a few years ago was historically inaccurate. No blondes on the brothels.

9:13 am

Hi Scrabs! How is Tucker?

9:14 am

crosshair

ok,back for more fun alter.am off to the egg farm for some fresh cackle-berries..poink

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Tucker needs to poop. Bunnies get what is called GI stasis--their gut slows down--and they can get quite ill from it. He is active and I fed him lots of parsley and cilantro this morning. The abscess is healing.

9:15 am

car.eeyore

Bye Crossy! {{hugs}}

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Cackleberries?

9:15 am

car.eeyore

Go Tucker, Go!

9:15 am

car.eeyore

I am glad the abscess is healing. How are you holding up?

9:16 am

Scrabbler

I am anxious about him, he is one of my babies.

9:16 am

car.eeyore

I know. {{hugs}} Let me know if I can help in any way.

9:17 am

Scrabbler

I just want to get home to monitor him and feed him some more.

9:18 am

car.eeyore

I wish I could sit with him for you. I am sending good healing prayers to both of you.

9:18 am

Scrabbler

But I am too honest to call in "Sick"

9:18 am

Scrabbler

You have a bunny, right?

9:18 am

car.eeyore

Yes, I do. Stormtrooper.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, an ally of the Jedi Knights. I remember the name now. Do you know about GI stasis? It is a critical illness in bunnies, so if Stormtrooper is ever lethargic, not eating, and not pooping--> know what to do.

9:20 am

rubyfoo

hello, 168 this AM

car.eeyore

Hello Ruby!

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Go Ruby go!

9:20 am

Judi

What causes it, Scrabbs?

9:21 am

car.eeyore

Well, his nickname is "Storm-Pooper", so I will definitely know if he stops doing that.

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Stress, illness, insufficient fiber in diet. Really, all bunnies need to eat is hay and grass. Some pellets are not healthy and some bunnies are allowed to be pellet-addicts. And they don't need sugary treats.

9:22 am

Mr Bob

Morning friends

9:22 am

car.eeyore

Hello Mr. Bob!

9:22 am

Scrabbler

And bunnies are cecal digesters so they can get altered bacteria in the cecum when things are not moving along.

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bob

storm pooper, I love that!

9:30 am

rubyfoo

pe7 sounds a little like a kind of wild pig

9:30 am

Judi

Got it. Ty.

9:31 am

Judi

I was thinking those were more rodent related. Maybe not.

9:31 am

rubyfoo

I'm probably wrong

9:31 am

car.eeyore

Totally in the dark over here...need more coffee!

9:32 am

rubyfoo

me5/12 exists but its female form doesn't in this grid

9:32 am

rubyfoo

female form like the painter but with a diff vowel

9:32 am

rubyfoo

I looked up peccary and it's a hoofed mammal

9:33 am

helensgirlkid

Actually it is a birth control device related to the diaphragm! (the pe7, that is.)

9:33 am

Scrabbler

Clue for the J words please?

9:33 am

rubyfoo

but not the peccary hah

9:33 am

rubyfoo

je4 and 5 ballet moves

9:33 am

Judi

Fast plane with an extra vowel at the end

9:33 am

helensgirlkid

The paccary is sort of pig-like. Cuter than wild boars (at least in pictures.)

9:34 am

Scrabbler

And a pe7 is used to relieve uterine or urethral prolapse too.

9:34 am

rubyfoo

wild boards are not cute! they live in the cliffs above us and destroy people gardens and are UGLY!

9:34 am

mael

I've always thought it was a specific type of suppository

9:34 am

boars*

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Slap me with a cod, Judi. I have Babble Blindness syndrome.

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Ok. I got pe 7/40.

9:35 am

Judi

There are wild boars in France? I thought you guys didn't have any wild animals, Ruby.

9:36 am

rubyfoo

they even serve them in restaurants, there are so many.

9:36 am

car.eeyore

Do they have to wear a tie to get in?

9:36 am

rubyfoo

and the baby ones are called "marcasins" and have a nasty, gamey taste

9:36 am

Judi

I was going to say...

9:36 am

rubyfoo

yes, they put the tie around their tusks

9:37 am

rubyfoo

vets here hate them because they often gore hunters' dogs

9:37 am

rubyfoo

(they also hate the hunters)

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Hahahaha, Car. Wild boars are nasty patrons.

9:38 am

Judi

Well, if you can't beat 'em, eat 'em. Time for another cup of coffee. BBL. *POOF*

9:38 am

car.eeyore

Their manners are atrocious!

9:38 am

rubyfoo

hahah judi

9:39 am

And I bet they slobber all over.

Hi Une! Did you enjoy it?

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

very romantic, married in Paris!

9:40 am

Uneaixoise

(taking a brief break from vacuuming! )

9:40 am

car.eeyore

Good for you! vacuuming is overrated!

9:41 am

helensgirlkid

A batch of nitwit hunters imported them to the US - supposedly they would just be on game farms, but confining wild boars is impossible. So there are now several state and federal parks that have major boar control problems, and in parts of the southwest they actualy root their way through roads! So far they haven't made it this far north, but I'll bet they're working on it!

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

married at La Mairie in St. Cloud, then wedding dinner in the Marais :-)

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

car, if you could see how much doghair was piling up! LOL

9:41 am

car.eeyore

Hi Helensgirlkid!

9:41 am

car.eeyore

We have dog tumbleweeds here too...

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

yes, car, the marinated boar was very tasty :-)

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!

9:42 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that about boars in the US. Is that the origin of the wild pigs in Georgia?

9:42 am

helensgirlkid

Yes, and Tennessee, and Texas, and . . . well, they don't recognize boundaries.

9:42 am

Uneaixoise

aren't there wild boars in the everglades? haven't I heard about pythons eating them (along with gators and deer)

9:43 am

rubyfoo

I just petted my puppy and I'm breaking out in hives!

9:43 am

Scrabbler

There are wild boars here in New York state.

9:43 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, Ruby, why?

9:43 am

rubyfoo

I thought they all taught at SUNY-Binghamton

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

i figured they were pretty much everywhere now . . .

9:43 am

car.eeyore

Why Ruby?!?!?

9:43 am

9:44 am

happily, I keep adrenalin in the fridge if it gets any worse

9:44 am

car.eeyore

Oh no! Puppy bath time!

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

ohnooo, so sorry, ruby

9:44 am

helensgirlkid

I hadn't realized they'd made it that far Scrabbler - but they were well into the Appalachians, so they probably just follow them up.

9:44 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

folks with sensitivity to poison ivy can get it from petting an animal that's brushed against it

9:44 am

rubyfoo

but he was just in the garden

9:45 am

Uneaixoise

sorry, ruby . . .

9:45 am

car.eeyore

I am now itching in sympathy.

9:45 am

9:45 am

Stats please for the i?

9:45 am

Wouldn't it be handy if poison ivy had a tell-tale smell, like skunk?

9:45 am

Uneaixoise

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I just 2 siblings with terrible poison ivy dermatitis

9:45 am

Gak! TY! Was not looking in the right direction!

9:46 am

Uneaixoise

9:46 am

I was thinking of the animal that brushed it and brought it home - you'd know right away to wash it.

9:47 am

Uneaixoise

aahhh, true, helen

9:47 am

9:50 am

You had it right, I just thought there ought to be a related word that was in the grid - haven't decided what it would mean yet.

11:05 am

harpjane

I think it's nice that they notice and alert you. You know the reason you used more water. But if you didn't know, then you could investigate and fix a problem before it gets bigger.

11:06 am

Not all of us are indifferent. ~:o)

I thought you were a phantom{{sprite}}

12:13 pm

12:25 pm

crossy, I lub you forever!

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

that must have been terrifying

12:26 pm

crosshair

aww shucks...

12:26 pm

andrew in drag

Oh no, you aren't being nosy! It was neither, really. One day I just went to the airport instead of going to school, and a flight to London was the first one leaving that I was able to get on. It was as simple as that!

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

I get scared in London, just crossing the street or taking the tube

12:27 pm

sprite

wow! Andrew, that is amazing. Hat off to you. When I was young I often felt like doing that, but I never had the courage.

12:28 pm

andrew in drag

Thanks! But it wasn't really a courageous thing. I think I was in a trance that whole day! But anyway, it all worked out, and I love it here.

12:29 pm

hey peri and molly and all

12:36 pm

hi stid

12:36 pm

sprite

my girl is having 5 friends over here tonight. They are gonna dip all kind of stuff in our chocolate fountain, watch movies and stay awake all night.

12:37 pm

stidmama

:-) sounds "fun" *rolls eyes*

12:37 pm

sprite

STIDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vacation was very nice and relaxed. Home isn't as clean as I would like but okayish. The kids are marvellous, son is boorish teenager and daughter is moody teenager, so all is normal. Husband will be operated upon tomorrow, small operation. I am good enough. LOL

12:38 pm

stidmama

wait a minute... YOUR choclit fountain?? You have a choclit FOUNTAIN??? *melts with envy*

12:38 pm

stidmama

*sending good energy for husband*

12:38 pm

sprite

Stiddie, I saw your picture. WOW you are so beautiful. No kidding.

12:38 pm

sprite

thanks for the good vibes!

12:38 pm

stidmama

??? thanks sprite

12:39 pm

sprite

yeah, just a small one, nothing special. For very festive desserts. You meld chocolate in a pot, then put it in. And dip in fruit, cook, popcorn, that kind of stuff. Wonderful for teenage gals :)

12:39 pm

the picture jillibus took... it was on her facebook

hi sprite

12:40 pm

stidmama

I saw it -- I looked dazed. LOL

12:41 pm

stidmama

hey bichon -- toss a 7 in there will you?

12:41 pm

sprite

how are you yourself, stiddie?

12:41 pm

bichon

hi stid

12:41 pm

sprite

not dazed. Lovely smile. Sweet and beautiful face. Marvellous eyes. (are you blushing already?)

12:42 pm

stidmama

sounds like I might "need" a fountain... I am tired, depressed, worried, anxious and procrastinating, sprite. I know why, I know what I "should" do, and I know what I AM doing. Not what I should. BUT I am also setting a timer so when I feel overwhelmed I take a break and then get back and dig in for a while.

12:42 pm

periwinkle

((((stiddie)))) and I agree with sprite about your picture stid.

12:43 pm

stidmama

gah. People always talk about my eyes. Why can't they admire my gorgeous frown lines? *frowns for emphasis*

12:43 pm

stidmama

thanks peri

12:43 pm

sprite

*gives stiddie a big hug* Perhaps you can take a day to just laze about, do nothing you don't want and allow yourself to not feel bad about it?

12:43 pm

periwinkle

need a break, bbs

12:43 pm

sprite

well hun, that is what you get for having those beautiful eyes. They take away the attention from your pretty frown lines.

12:43 pm

sprite

bye peri

12:44 pm

stidmama

thanks sprite -- at this point every time I take even a short break I feel even more guilty. But tomorrow I am taking Grant to Powell's bookstore in Portland with a group of his friends, so that will be a break for me as well.

12:44 pm

stidmama

later peri

12:45 pm

sprite

you know already, dear one... but just to remind you: feeling guilty is good for nothing, it just eats away all your energy. Be mild to yourself. You really worked SO hard - now and again you need to allow for a bit of off-time.

12:46 pm

bichon

hope you're feeling better stid. Bookstores are always good

12:46 pm

stidmama

LOL I have decided today to get through one specific area of the office, and repack my "substituting kit"

12:46 pm

sprite

good gal!

12:47 pm

stidmama

Thanks sprite -- I promise to take care of myself. The whole turtle thing just as I was recovering from the travel really unsettled me.

12:47 pm

sprite

I can imagine. Always painful :(

12:48 pm

stidmama

yes. But I slept a little better last night, which was nice.

12:49 pm

sprite

sleep helps. And you know... allowing yourself to feel what you feel, take it seriously... and then the feeling will pass. That helps too.

12:54 pm

stidmama

Thanks sprite -- I am trying to "sit with" the feelings instead of fighting them, at least during the day. Anyway, there is that timer I set. Back later to work toward halfway. I hope you'll have a good evening -- the sun just came out here, so I will spend some time in the garden also. :-)

12:54 pm

stidmama

*poof*

12:54 pm

sprite

*love you*

12:59 pm

Bye all, I'd better get going as well. Maybe back la5.

2:24 pm

HarryHood

I had ferns at our old house - the fiddleheads are great, but the ferns take over the lawn and it's really hard to get rid of them

2:25 pm

dcseain

yes, it is hard to get rid of them. They are pretty, though.

2:26 pm

agreed. sometimes i want to call and not use their "contact us form"

4:03 pm

pissy nt found in Enable? I sure am

4:05 pm

It's ridiculous how outdated Enable is. It's too bad this game won't update it's word list.

was chatting with DR-G other day on a unrelated topic and he told me that babble will remain as it is.it will not be tweaked,updated or revamped.he says it makes no money and he cannot justify putting any time into it and only keeps it running out of love (i suspect it costs him money)

4:16 pm

ch1212

Sounds like we need to show Dr. G the love!

4:18 pm

helenkeller

I love you Dr. God. You have my daily thanks for putting Babble in my life - it gives me something to live for :)

4:19 pm

lynxxx

or show him the money perhaps. He should charge the one-time fee annually. Interesting Cross.

4:20 pm

helenkeller

lynxxxy! Nice idea for those who are employed. otherwise, not so much - I'm looking right now.

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

andrew in drag

Perhaps this site could benefit from having a place to donate. Lots of websites do that, and they seem to keep running okay.

4:21 pm

ch1212

Or a monthly pledge amount for those who can --- say, $2.00 or $5.00 every first Friday each month. Honor system, of course. Just a friendly reminder posted in the chat on the designated day each month.

4:22 pm

bichon

ty lynxxx

4:22 pm

cosdem

if i have to pay a monthly fee i'll have to stop. im on a very very very limited income and this is one of the few pleasuresi have for free

4:22 pm

bichon

sounds like a good idea. Is there a place to send it directly to Dr. G's pockets

4:23 pm

andrew in drag

I am with you there, Cos. I am self-employed so it would have to be 'as and when' donations for me.

4:24 pm

ch1212

I believe there is, bichon, because when I joined it was free, then when I went to 'pro' I paid a one time fee directly to Dr. G.

Cos, not suggesting anything mandatory, just a voluntary contribution for those who can, no questions asked, just a friendly reminder from time to time.

4:25 pm

cosdem

voluntary would be good and on months when i have extra i could donate a few dollars.

4:25 pm

mab

i am poor too, but if i could give a little i would love to. must be via pay pal for me however.

4:26 pm

bichon

Which site is it ch1212

4:26 pm

lynxxx

I play Jigidi, $18+ a year. Can be for free. If you pay you get a star (big deal!) and no adds.

4:26 pm

cosdem

i had to quit pogo.com which was 6/month and that was stil too much :( it sucks

4:27 pm

ch1212

I'm looking now, bichon. Will post when I find where. :)

4:27 pm

lynxxx

adds = ads

4:28 pm

mab

jamie is such a star for keeping this game going when there is no money in it for him. not many people would do that.

4:28 pm

lynxxx

Thank goodness Babble didn't get popular enough to get the ads

4:28 pm

mab

this is our wordy clubhouse.

4:30 pm

mab

people have had babies, lost spouses, lived, died here. we've laughed, we've cried. oh, i feel a song coming on... sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, slowly... c'mon, everybody!

4:30 pm

ch1212

Okay ... when new players sign up, it's always free. But after two weeks, if they want to keep seeing the stats helps, they have to go pro, with the one-time fee. So obviously Dr. G has a set-up for payment. We could ask him to put a 'donate' button toward the bottom of daily screen.

Swiftly, flow the years....

4:30 pm

MollyL

Board owners can opt out of ads (which I suspect Jamie has done). Unfortunately, it's the only way to make money as a board owner.

4:30 pm

cosdem

yes. use the same link new players use to get pro

4:31 pm

ch1212

One season following anottttthhhher,
laden with happiness, and tears....

4:31 pm

lynxxx

great idea ch1212...Cross, could you ask Jamie to add a donate button

4:32 pm

mab

thank goodness you joined in. i didn't actually know the words.

4:32 pm

mab

with paypal

4:32 pm

lynxxx

as well

4:33 pm

cosdem

theres already a paypal account .. just use the same one. no need to add another donate link

4:33 pm

ch1212

Okey dokey. Cos, since you are in contact, do you mind acting as our coordinator to ask Dr. G for the button?

4:33 pm

stidmama

ch, did you have a lovely weekend?

4:33 pm

cosdem

I'm not :) Crossy is though.

4:34 pm

stidmama

hey all

4:34 pm

ch1212

Cos, where do we go to see the button?

Delightful, stidmama. My icon is a photo I took at the King Tut exhibit, with a 'naos'. The kids LOVED the area (of course!) and we loved giving them lots of hugs.

4:34 pm

mab

hi stid.

4:34 pm

lynxxx

hi Stid

4:35 pm

ch1212

Crossy? Same q - would you mind?

4:35 pm

stidmama

So pleased you were able to visit and got to see the exhibit! I haven't been to this one, saw it when it opened in L.A., and hope to get to this one before it leaves -- something nice about beginning and ending something like this.

4:36 pm

mab

a naos! bless you, ch

4:36 pm

cosdem

hmm guess no link after u go pro...

4:36 pm

cosdem

so forget my suggestion then :)

4:36 pm

ch1212

Oh yes! And the Tibetan Association was presenting at Center House with a mandala, and the crowds were thick, and kids were blowing bubbles at the science plaza. Great day.

4:36 pm

stidmama

can logout and see the link again... ;-)

4:37 pm

cosdem

ah thats true lol

4:37 pm

MollyL

Yeah but he could add a donation button, if he wants to. I kind of suspect he doesn't though. But the seed has been planted.

4:37 pm

mab

one must pretend to be a stranger to the site.

4:37 pm

mab

it's a christmas miracle! money for jamie!

4:37 pm

ch1212

Stid, I tried signing out, and tried clicking on the 'sign up' button, but still no payment link.

4:38 pm

mab

is it christmas yet?

4:38 pm

cosdem

less than 4 months mab

4:38 pm

lynxxx

nearly

4:38 pm

cosdem

i wonder how much it costs to run this site per year...

4:38 pm

mab

it's almost rosh ha shanah

4:39 pm

MollyL

Depends on what he pays for domain registration and his site registration.

4:39 pm

stidmama

me too. Could sign up with a different name, but that's silly.

4:39 pm

mab

it's a rosh ha shanah miracle!

4:39 pm

cosdem

we pay 13.00 per year for my group, plus 300.00 for server but i suspect he has his own server

4:40 pm

cosdem

a lot of webgeeks have their own servers.

4:40 pm

MollyL

If he has his own server, he's only paying a nominal fee to keep the domain name alive.

4:40 pm

cosdem

right.

4:40 pm

MollyL

Which means he's not losing money to keep this site up.

4:41 pm

cosdem

hm true! didnt think of it that way

4:41 pm

cosdem

crossy said jame mentioned losing money right?

4:41 pm

ch1212

Well, back to the idea of asking Dr. G to post a button, then encouraging those of us who can, to voluntarily kick in a few dollars from time to time.

Crossy? Are you still here?

4:41 pm

mab

he still must make it work, etc.

4:41 pm

stidmama

I think he uses a service, just as tom and I do, it's a lot of electricity to keep servers running -- both just to run them, and then more to keep them cool.

4:41 pm

MollyL

And I think a lot of people would have trouble paying a yearly fee.

4:42 pm

lynxxx

I am sure it will be worth his time to add a donate button - we should all ask him individually. I don't believe his has his own server either

4:42 pm

ch1212

(waves bacon around, trying to lure Crossy)

4:42 pm

MollyL

Even if he pays for server space, it would only be roughly three to three hundred fifty a year to keep the place up and running. Don't know how that balances out with membership intake.

4:43 pm

mab

good idea, lynxxx. will msg him.

4:43 pm

cosdem

wasnt there a problem last year with donations and the money not being used?

4:43 pm

MollyL

That was the whole Mr. P fiasco and it was done through a third party.

4:43 pm

cosdem

ah okay.

4:43 pm

ch1212

I believe that was a different issue with a babble player, Cos.

4:44 pm

lynxxx

There was Cos - but that was on a seperate site - we are talking about voluntary donations direct to DrG here so should be OK

4:44 pm

Jillyjill

Hello babblers! Molly, cos, mab, ch1212 and lynxx!

4:44 pm

lynxxx

hi Jilly

4:44 pm

Jillyjill

and stiddy too!

4:44 pm

MollyL

Supposedly, all the money that was donated through Paypal was received by the benificiary.

4:44 pm

cosdem

hi jill..

4:44 pm

mab

hi jill.

4:45 pm

cosdem

i cant wait to move. a little over a month, the maintence was s'posed to come today to fix the shower wall but they never did. called the landlord. she didnt pick up. 3 times.

4:45 pm

ch1212

Okay, may I propose the following:
1. I'll email Dr. G and ask for a donate button linked to both Paypal and the usual, to be at the bottom of our screen.
2. If he agrees, then those of us who can and wish to, may donate however much whenever, although I will try and remember to post a gentle reminder once a month.

Okay?

4:46 pm

mab

sounds perfect.

4:46 pm

cosdem

sunds ok.. as long as people understand it isnt mandatory. we dont want toc hase people away

4:46 pm

cosdem

im sure we have a lot of lurkers who are pro

4:46 pm

MollyL

Anyone who wants to can email Dr. God at using the SEND THEM button below.

4:47 pm

lynxxx

TY ch1212

4:48 pm

ch1212

Terrific, mollyl! The more requests he receives, the more likely he'll be to add the button. I agree with the voluntary idea, and will ask Dr. G to add a disclaimer that it is at our request he is adding the button, and only for those who wish to, and can afford to. I will do that now.

4:49 pm

5:07 pm

Cos, is the RNC thing postponed due to weather? Everyone in Florida is acting like it's no big whoop.

5:08 pm

Isasc didn't amount to much for Florida, but you never know where these storms will go. If it had stayed more to the east it could have been very bad.

5:09 pm

cosdem

postponed til tomorrow

5:09 pm

cosdem

3 days only. however the Dem convention is 3 days too.. dems chose to have 3 days instead of 4.

5:09 pm

I'm 40 miles inland from Tampa and have just had rain and not much wind so far. But the Forum is close to the water and on low ground. A storm surge would have been a real mess there.

I am still looking for the ha7.32. The clue that was given looks like it was for the ha6,21.

7:24 pm

crosshair

i am far behind in this grid and of not much use atm

7:25 pm

wvteach

ha 7/32 = 3/4 of very hard winter and ending that means small (like an in ***)

7:26 pm

wvteach

fraction is wrong - should be 4/5

7:26 pm

wht

Found it. ha7. Sarcastic laugh + snake letter + to rent or allow.

7:27 pm

MollyL

Mr. Speedy does it again : D

7:55 pm

wht

It only looks quick because I lurk at work.

7:57 pm

wht

Does anyone need clues before I go?

7:57 pm

MollyL

I wonder if there are clerks who lurk at work?

7:58 pm

wht

Only if they are Turks

7:58 pm

MollyL

Or jerks

7:59 pm

wht

The Turk who was a jerk smirked while he lurked at work.

7:59 pm

MollyL

Then he went berserk.

8:00 pm

wht

That was his quirk

8:01 pm

MollyL

But to lurk is a perk.

8:01 pm

wht

As long as the boss doesn't know about it.

8:04 pm

torgone

The boss is a jerk

8:06 pm

wht

Not when he lets you lurk at work.

8:09 pm

torgone

Well, I guess that's okay then ..

8:10 pm

wht

I think this is where we started.

8:10 pm

wht

Any more clues before I go?

8:11 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all, back to finish...56 to go

8:12 pm

MollyL

Oh, I thought you and Mr. Jilly would be "busy" for the rest of the night. : P

8:13 pm

Jillyjill

Molly....I'm 54...these things have to be planned...LOL...

8:14 pm

MollyL

Oh I see. You didn't pencil him in for tonight. : D

8:15 pm

Jillyjill

Well, wasn't sure if he'd make it today or tomorrow, he and his sister have been clearing out my mother in law's place

8:17 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear that. It's not happy work.

8:20 pm

Jillyjill

No, and she really should be in assisted living...expect her to fail within 6 months. Damn doctor didn't think she needed to be in assisted living...grrr

8:21 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry to rant...

8:22 pm

periwinkle

Jilly, have you thought about getting help at home for your mother in law?

8:22 pm

MollyL

Rant away. I have been down the road of doctors who will not make the right call on the elderly.

8:27 pm

Jillyjill

My sister in law has POA, they all felt she would send them away....

8:27 pm

periwinkle

you coud try, she might like someone.most elderly want to stay in their own home

8:28 pm

periwinkle

there is also adult day care, don't know if they have that where she is

8:29 pm

Jillyjill

That had been my suggestion but as an outlaw....well, no one listened. Plus some of them didn't see the deficits that I did...have 15 years in Home Health...

8:29 pm

periwinkle

you can tell me to shut, but I was a social worker for many years

8:29 pm

periwinkle

ok then

8:29 pm

periwinkle

I did home care for a while too

8:29 pm

Jillyjill

Another decision was that with them taking her car, she needed to be somewhere that would trasport her too

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

now if she only remembers to go

8:30 pm

MollyL

My sister and I found adult day care so depressing that we took my Dad out.

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

I especially wished they would have given it at ry when we actually moved her two weeks ago...utterly undid her...

8:30 pm

periwinkle

some of them can be and assisted lving too, just have to find the right match

8:31 pm

Jillyjill

This is a little cottage, but is independant. Time will tell....

8:31 pm

MollyL

It all depends on how well monitored the independent situation is.

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

This has another building that is assisted living, so it won't be quite so hard to move her

8:32 pm

Jillyjill

It just broke my heart EVEN after knowing her confusion would increase...

8:33 pm

Jillyjill

Only monitoring is the housekeeper that comes weekly. Or, God forbid, she leaves and gets lost...

8:33 pm

Jillyjill

whoops...phone..brb

8:41 pm

Jillyjill

back..

9:23 pm

rururocks

hi sue

9:24 pm

uusue2

hi, ruru! Sorry you couldn't make it to bugsaw's; we had a fabulous time!

9:25 pm

rururocks

yeah.. i'd have love to come.. I am such a doofus I didn't realize I needed a passport until Jilli Mentioned it

9:25 pm

uusue2

oh well - did you get one anyway?

9:25 pm

rururocks

no.. not yet

9:26 pm

uusue2

might as well, no?

9:26 pm

rururocks

yeah..sooner or later

9:26 pm

uusue2

oh, and how's your knee? One of my friends just had a replacement.

9:27 pm

rururocks

my knee sucks.. but I'm coping.

9:27 pm

rururocks

I have been conversing with Blue Shield.. god save me

9:27 pm

uusue2

ah, that's tough. Let me know if you're going to have it replaced; I have some recovery hints

9:28 pm

MollyL

You waited too long Ru. You know that now, you are going to come out of anesthesia in a geriatric unit at the Veterans' Hospital...in restraints.

9:28 pm

rururocks

restraints don't scare me .. I'm used to them

9:29 pm

MollyL

Oh and your head will be shaved too.

9:29 pm

stidmama

hey all.

9:29 pm

stidmama

*stern mama look at ruru knee*

9:29 pm

uusue2

hi stid!!

9:29 pm

stidmama

hey sue! ((hugs)) are you home?

9:29 pm

uusue2

I am indeed! Got home on Saturday.

9:30 pm

stidmama

nice. It RAINED here last night!!!

9:30 pm

MollyL

*Watches the lead balloon float out the window*

9:30 pm

uusue2

it rained here yesterday too!!!

9:30 pm

uusue2

hey, when the lead balloons are floating, life is good :-)

9:31 pm

stidmama

VERY NICE!

9:31 pm

uusue2

and I visited my new office today and met the office staff

9:32 pm

stidmama

Are they nice?

9:32 pm

uusue2

will meet with the dean on Wednesday and the outgoing chair maybe tomorrow or Wednesday too

9:32 pm

uusue2

they are very nice, and seem quite efficient

9:32 pm

uusue2

there is a staff opening that i will have to fill but first will have to figure out what the person does

9:32 pm

uusue2

and there are also at least two faculty searches

9:33 pm

stidmama

I am glad they are nice. *shudder* I do not envy you faculty searching, though

9:33 pm

uusue2

well, I just have to supervise, there will be a faculty search committee

9:33 pm

uusue2

and I have done a lot of that, so can look wise and knowledgeable about procedures

9:34 pm

stidmama

I don't know -- supervising others... LOL I am sure your very wise professor looks will serve you well!

9:34 pm

uusue2

I really only have to supervise the office staff; faculty are impossible to supervies

9:35 pm

uusue2

*supervise

9:35 pm

uusue2

and there are only two (or three); when I was the graduate dean I had a staff of about 15

9:36 pm

stidmama

Btw, I am still absolutely intrigued by the whole speed of light piece of our conversation. I don't have the time right now to really push for deep understanding, but it's about the coolest, niftiest tidbit I have learned in a long time. That, and the idea that there are particles so tiny and fast that they go straight through "solid" materials - the fact that I know someone who has really worked with them is astonishing to me. You're like a super-hero scientist! *starts crocheting super-hero cape for sue*

9:36 pm

uusue2

*modestly hides face behind cape*

9:37 pm

uusue2

actually I really enjoy teaching, especially when it's informal - people are much readier to learn when there isn't a test :-)

9:38 pm

stidmama

*grin* not possible, the ÄŒerenkov radiation glow gives you away!

9:38 pm

uusue2

ah, well, I'm not *that* fast :-)

9:39 pm

uusue2

anyway, I have 97 left, with nbt and nbs I am going to declare victory and go to bed

9:40 pm

stidmama

so, I am almost down to 100, and then will look at the materials in these sub folders (was going to do it earlier, then a friend I hadn't talked to in a year called...) and get them ready for the new year. I am totally psyched about teaching again, even if it's not my own classroom. :-)

9:40 pm

uusue2

but stid, you have my email, do write me when you have more questions

9:40 pm

stidmama

well done, sue! and sweet dreams.

9:40 pm

stidmama

thanks sue -- I will definitely pester you when I have questions.

9:40 pm

uusue2

take care, stid!

9:42 pm

stidmama

oooh. found the 9.

9:48 pm

stidmama

and down to 100. back later to finish if I can! *poof*
