here you are ivesy,i am feeling poetic today so this is for your friend you lost and in response to your sailing icon.i borrowed bit of this and adapted a bit of it as well but it is still a nice poem and fits my thanks to Stephen Donaldson..please do not sue me:)))

7:15 am

crosshair

"Let breakers crash against the shore --
let rocks be rimed with sea and weed,
cliffs carven by the storm --
let calm becalm the deeps,
or wind appall the waves, and sting --
and sting --
nothing overweighs the poise of Sea and Stone.
The rocks and water-battery of Home endure.
We are sailors,
born to live,
and bold for going where the dreaming goes.

"Let world be wide beyond belief,
the ocean be as vast as time --
let journeys end or fail,
seaquests fall in ice or blast,
and wandering be forever. Roam --
and roam --
nothing tarnishes the poise of Sea and Stone.
The hearth and harborage of Home endure.
We are sailors,
born to sail,
and bold to go wherever dreaming goes."

8:30 am

Trifioso

BIG HUG my girl!

8:30 am

sprite

yes, schadenfreude. In dutch: leedvermaak. But jokes like you just told I heard from blind people... I think it is wonderful to be able to laugh at our own handicaps. Makes them easier to bear.'

8:30 am

MimiCat

(((car))) Thanks for the fun.

8:30 am

Trifioso

I agree sprite.

8:30 am

Oh, BR don't go. We're just being silly! And we've veered into dangerously politically incorrect territory.

I do feel bad for offending BR....

8:31 am

yeah. Sorry BabbleRabble. Done being tasteless. Promise.

8:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i am a Unitarian Universalist and we joke about ourselves all the time. I am also the author-compiler-editor-publisher of a joke book about us

Nah, Trif....a sense of humor is a wonderful thing and those who do not have one are to be pitied.

8:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(discount for babblers) hee hee

8:32 am

I don't think offense was meant by any of you. If someone chooses to take offense, that is their problem.

8:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

now, if i had published a joke book about scientology, they would have sued my ass off

8:32 am

MimiCat

Right on, Molly!!!

8:32 am

So, I guess this means doctor and lawyer jokes are a no go then.

8:32 am

Mimi, there are different kinds of senses of humour... we aren't all the same.

Lol I'm on my way to being visually impaired... but eh, humans are seriously the thing to laugh at, we're all individuals,

8:34 am

MollyL

Not that serious at all, and certainly not a place we were put to sit in judgment on others.

8:34 am

sprite

hey, some people here take serious offense at chatters using abbreviations. And others at tasteless jokes. I think we are all different and we all have a right to being who we are.

Mel Brooks once said, "Everything is funny." I would amend that to say, "Everything is potentially funny." It all depends upon your point of view.

8:36 am

funny you should ask, crossy.....he is losing the race to the second guy I met, who I originally thought I had NO chemistry with, but who, it turns out, is WICKED funny, WICKED smart, and not a player, which I am starting to think Mr. Fireman IS. The game is definitely afoot!

Wicked in a good way, of course.

8:45 am

8:45 am

MimiCat

Turn that frown upside-down, Trif!!!

8:46 am

sprite

I once interviewed a guy for a job. At the end of our chat he asked rather agressively: "And I am gay. Does that matter?" And I said: "As long as we're not dating, i couldn't care less."
He got the job and later on he told me: "If I weren't gay, I'd started dating you there and then."

8:46 am

crosshair

the mrs caught me looking too long at a lass in a store the other day..25 or so,legs that went on forever.after she cuffed me upside the head she called a a foolish old fart and that the woman i was looking at would eat me up in two bites,leave me on the floor to die and walk away putting another notch on her lipstick case..my beloved is most likely correct since all the lovely ladies under 30 now call me sir and ask if i need help carrying my stuff to the car..lol

8:46 am

Oh, Trif, the stories I could tell about my past....

8:46 am

8:47 am

Judi

Thank you, Molly. That is exactly what I meant. Wicked ahhsome.

8:47 am

sprite

yeah it was great. And the funniest part was, my mentor told me, after the initial interview, that my response was not at all professional and I shouldn't have given the guy that comeback. But the guy loved it. So there goes professionality for 100% of the time... go with your guts!

8:48 am

but seriously - I think the fireman is the one I have to be careful with.....he is SMOKING hot, but I have a feeling I could get mighty burned there. LOTS of chemistry, and that's great, but I just don't think he takes me seriously at all.

8:49 am

8:57 am

MollyL

It's like women who get over one man by getting under another. : P

8:57 am

that is a brilliant thing, Trif!

12:43 pm

cybernan

just looked at your profile - didn't know you were on the Isle of Wight. We were there the summer before last -- beautiful spot. I wished we had planned more than one day there as we only got to see about a quarter of the island.

12:43 pm

zoozzoom

And PB for me..sorry.

12:44 pm

zoozzoom

Yes it is a beautiful place in the summer..not nice in winter though..am pleased you like it here :-)

12:45 pm

cybernan

We were staying in a little town near Eastbourne, so just made a day trip over.

12:46 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- missed a lot of plurals and common words -- only a few that I needed to monkey

12:46 pm

Have not been through Eastbourne..but have heard of it.

12:49 pm

cybernan

off to do some Christmas shopping for the grandkids - back at the flip :)

12:49 pm

zoozzoom

There are at least three piers on the isle of wight..must admit..you get bored of the piers after a while..lol...too many arcade machines on them.

12:50 pm

zoozzoom

Take care, Nan

12:55 pm

Flask1

Hi zooz...sorry was called away, so couldn't answer you.....now am trying to put an icon on my desktop......and yes my last latop died on me....any hints for putting it on desktop???

12:58 pm

zoozzoom

I do not have a computer as mine has gone as well..so am using an x-box360 to play babble..lol

12:59 pm

zoozzoom

Not sure, Flask..maybe right click the program and see if a list comes up asking if you to create an icon.

1:00 pm

zoozzoom

It takes flipping ages to type anything on the xbox..so sorry for replying so slowly.

1:04 pm

Flask1

Hey, don't worry....its nice chatting with you....when I right click it, it doesn't offer me the chance to forward it anywhere....

1:06 pm

zoozzoom

Ok.. click start ..go upto the program and right or left click it and see if it gives you the option...i just cant sremeber anymore..lol

1:07 pm

Flask1

ok..ah'll try it now!...bbs

1:11 pm

Flask1

nah.....but its on my toolbar....so thats better than nowt!

1:12 pm

Flask1

haven't seen you in a while zooz.....you been away?

1:13 pm

zoozzoom

True..i am seeing my parents to morrow..i will ask them how they do it..and if i see you on here..will let you know...thats if you haven`t done it.

1:13 pm

Flask1

thanx....yer a gent!

1:14 pm

Have had a few problems, Flask..needed to sort myself out..am getting there slowly..but getting there..lol

1:15 pm

well if you need an ear to listen....my email addy is on my profile...

1:15 pm

MollyL

We're glad you're back Zooz. We miss you when you're gone. : )

1:16 pm

zoozzoom

But trying to get a job after having a breakdown is not easy..no one wants to know..lol

1:16 pm

zoozzoom

Aww thanks, Molly :-)

1:16 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks, Flask!

1:17 pm

MollyL

Zooz, do they have to know? You can explain a "break" in your work experience with something innocent like "took some time off from work to help my elderly parents".

1:18 pm

zoozzoom

Well the bad thing for me is i have not been at work for a few years now..it is a large gap.

1:20 pm

zoozzoom

True, Molly..i will have to resort to that if this continues..lol

1:20 pm

Flask1

Ye.....the world has gone to pot these days.....if you don't fit....then folk just think they can just tell you without regard for your feelings!

1:21 pm

MollyL

Maybe that you took time off to travel? I'm sure you could find something that would not put off a potential employer.

1:21 pm

Flask1

You need to be very thick-skinned these days!

1:21 pm

zoozzoom

too many unemployed..they can pick and choose..i suppose it makes business sense..not nice thouugh..but hey ho.

1:22 pm

MimiCat

Zoo, you absolutely should not reveal the breakdown....it's none of their business or anyone else's. Nothing to be ashamed of either, though. I am also here (my email in the profile) if you want to talk....psychology is my field but life was my real classroom!

1:22 pm

Yes, and unfortunately for many, the employers will pick the youngest, least skilled and those willing to work for a low salary.

I never used to put words in the chat.. now I do it almost every grid.. Not paying attention on my part

The best part is when you can't figure out why your word didn't show up in your word list, and then you look over and see it in chat. : )

teehee.. my mom told me that

7:28 pm

crosshair

how did he do it?

7:28 pm

smores

what happened?

7:28 pm

Good Enough

We'll go see and ENT when the swelling subsides to see if he needs an "adjustment". (OUCH)

7:28 pm

MollyL

Poor kid. So you got the "concussion checklist". I've gotten that a few times in my many kid related ER trips.

7:29 pm

crosshair

the adjustment is a tad painful(crossy has had his done twice over the years

7:29 pm

smores

<-----adjusted my own...was not fun

He was rough housing at church group and got elbowed in the face (by the leader) *roll eyes here* Keep in mind he's 17 and bigger than the leader!

Ooh, is someone trading a concussion for an elbow? Sounds like in interesting trade. :^)

7:32 pm

7:34 pm

It's a great story though. "How did you break your nose?" "I did it at church group." (Person asking question gives blank stare)

7:35 pm

8:08 pm

uusue2

hi jill, it was rather sobering

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

Oh no..sorry. Did they clear up the differing cancer diagnoses?

8:10 pm

MollyL

Sober is no good. *Pours Sue a drink*

8:11 pm

uusue2

not yet, they are going to have their pathologists look at his slides

8:11 pm

uusue2

apparently the most important thing is that his cancer is poorly differentiated

8:12 pm

uusue2

this means it is quite aggressive and hard to treat, and very likely to recur even with chemotherapy and biological therapy (both of which they are recommending)

8:12 pm

uusue2

the chemo/bio treatment can be done locally, the U of C docs will consult with our local docs about that

8:13 pm

Jillyjill

So very sorry uusue, how is Frank doing with this news?

8:13 pm

uusue2

but if/when it recurs there is another treatment they can do during surgery where they pour chemo directly into his abdomen, this gets rid of the cancer in about 30% of cases

8:13 pm

uusue2

crappy, as am I

8:14 pm

Jillyjill

{{{{hugs}}}}

8:14 pm

uusue2

we asked for a prognosis, which is of course a guess, but the doctor said he'd be very surprised if Frank survives 10 years, and surprised if he survives five

8:15 pm

uusue2

so we are assimilating this, and deciding to live every day to the fullest, and fight with all we've got

8:17 pm

MollyL

That is the best way to deal with it Sue. I'm sorry you two are having to deal with this difficult news. Prayers and blessings out for both of you.

8:17 pm

Jillyjill

Uusue, I am so very sorry. But am glad you are embracing quality of life not just quantity. You know you have the support of all of us......

8:18 pm

uusue2

thank you so much!!! and he still could beat the odds; we'll know more when we see how he responds to the chemo

8:18 pm

MollyL

Then I'm putting all my faith in "Frank Beats The Odds".

8:18 pm

uusue2

or perhaps I should call it chemo/bio.....

8:18 pm

wht

Sue, I am so sorry to hear your news

8:19 pm

uusue2

hi wht, thanks, it is hard to assimilate

8:19 pm

uusue2

Frank doesn't really want to talk about it quite so explicitly but I figure I am safe with you guys :-)

8:21 pm

wht

I know. I had a friend die of an inopperable brain tumor a couple of years ago. I know how hard it was for him, his friends and his family.

8:21 pm

wht

I also remember that there were times when he wanted to talk about anything normal and not his disease.

8:22 pm

uusue2

yes, exactly!

8:22 pm

Jillyjill

And we are certainly here for you to talk out what you need to talk out uusue!

8:24 pm

uusue2

thanks, Jill, I am sure I will be needing to talk as time goes on.

8:24 pm

sallyds

You've got the best guys on the team and they're honest with you. I'm not sure you can do better than that. Their guessing is just that. You can't hold them to it. :) Attitude is a lot of it. Keeping an optimistic attitude can carry you both a long way.

8:25 pm

uusue2

(I am updating the CaringBridge website now)

8:25 pm

uusue2

exactly, sally! And I pointed out to Frank that if they tell you that you have a couple of months, things probably don't look very good, but if they tell you it's a couple of years it gets much more uncertain.

8:25 pm

wht

As hard as that time was, there were blessings in it as well. You are in my prayers.

8:29 pm

smores

{{Sue}} Just got back on and read through chog, so so sorry.

8:29 pm

uusue2

thanks, wht! I really appreciate all the support I get from all the Babblers!

8:30 pm

uusue2

thanks, smores! it is hard but we are determined to fight this.

8:31 pm

smores

Sally is absolutely right, there are many people living long past their Drs. guesstimation. My BIL is one, he was given five years to live a little over 10 years ago.

8:31 pm

sallyds

Between five and ten years is not a poke in the eye with a sharp stick either.

8:34 pm

uusue2

5-10 would be good. The doc said 2-3 was more likely. So we are determined to be a surprise.

8:35 pm

uusue2

also I figure they are finding new treatments all the time

8:36 pm

smores

very true Sue

8:36 pm

Jillyjill

That's how my hubby and I are thinking as well. Open to any testing groups that might come up for him and trying to enjoy the time we have.

8:36 pm

Dorens

hey sue, just reading back. Sorry the news isn't better.

8:38 pm

uusue2

hi Doren, me too, but at least we have some tools to work with

8:40 pm

Dorens

yes, and the news certainly could have been worse

8:42 pm

uusue2

Indeed, Doren; the bulk tumor is gone, which is good. Now we have to deal with stray cells. Frank's spirit animal is the wolf, so we are visualizing wolves fighting cancer.

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Smores!! I've missed you!

8:44 pm

uusue2

hi mimi!

8:44 pm

Dorens

sorry - on phone with my mom

8:44 pm

Jillyjill

Hi mimiCat!

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Sue, was just going to tell you to keep fighting the good fight.

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Hi, Jilly!!

8:45 pm

uusue2

thanks, mimi, that is exactly what we are doing.

8:45 pm

MimiCat

I can tell....you are an inspiration.

8:46 pm

wht

Wolves fighting cancer... Why did Crossy come to mind when I read that???? I love the image.

8:46 pm

uusue2

boy, I don't feel like an inspiration right now, I feel more like something the cat dragged in

8:46 pm

MimiCat

Crossy would have them fighting it over bacon!!

8:47 pm

uusue2

I adopted a mom and baby wolf for Frank as a birthday present; we got a couple of stuffed animals for that and they are looking out for him now :-)

8:47 pm

uusue2

(this was through Defenders of Wildlife). I reminded him that the moms are the fiercest fighters :-)

8:47 pm

MimiCat

I've actually worked with wolves, sue, and you've picked a wonderful animal to help you.....so wise and loyal.

8:48 pm

uusue2

you have, mimi? that sounds fascinating!

8:49 pm

MimiCat

Yep...and lion and tigers...no bears.

8:49 pm

{MIMI}

8:50 pm

MimiCat

You should go to Isle Royal just north of the Michigan peninsula---it's a wolf sanctuary. I think they have guided tours.

8:50 pm

MimiCat

{{{smores}}}

8:50 pm

smores

had to let the cat out....Sue, wolves are my favorite animal.

8:51 pm

uusue2

Oh, that would be awesome! I told him that we should do everything we keep saying we are going to do, NOW, no point in waiting. Let me put that on the list!

8:52 pm

MimiCat

Also, Yellowstone reintroduced wolves into their ecosystem and they are thriving---and wild. Magnificent....but often hard to find.

8:52 pm

uusue2

that's north of UP Michigan? His dad was from the UP...

8:53 pm

uusue2

Yes, I think the Defenders of Wildlife fund some of the Yellowstone wolf reintroductions

8:53 pm

MimiCat

Yep...you could stay on Mackinac and take a boat over to the island.

8:53 pm

smores

I've had 3 wolf mixes and worked with wolves at Wolf Park here in Indiana

8:53 pm

uusue2

Definitely on the list. Sounds awesome.

Where in Indiana, smores?

8:53 pm

smores

They are awesome creatures.

8:54 pm

MimiCat

Aren't they amazing, smores? If you can really get accepted into the pack it can be very intense...and sometimes a bit scary.

8:54 pm

uusue2

We are in Illinois; that could even be a day trip!

8:56 pm

smores

Battle Ground, Ind

8:56 pm

MimiCat

I'm considering a trip back to Cincinnati in the Spring....maybe we could meet at smores' and all go together. Sound like fun?

8:57 pm

uusue2

that sounds great! I love meeting babblers!

8:57 pm

smores

It is more of an educational Park.

8:57 pm

uusue2

I am all about education.

8:58 pm

MimiCat

Hey, find me a zoo and I'll give you quite an education...I can get animals to do things you'll never see otherwise...'cause I "speak the languages."

8:58 pm

MimiCat

You wouldn't believe how gorillas react to me!

8:59 pm

MimiCat

Sue, I was offered jobs at both Lincoln Park and Brookfield years ago.

8:59 pm

uusue2

just googled it, Wolf Park is a three-hour drive from my house. Easy peasy!

8:59 pm

smores

That would be an awesome trip

9:00 pm

smores

9:01 pm

9:20 pm

9:22 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

9:23 pm

stidmama

hey all ((((sue)))) ((((frank))))

*sigh*

9:23 pm

uusue2

hi liz and stid!

9:24 pm

uusue2

sigh indeed...

9:24 pm

Lizlin

Hey Sue - just read back in the chog - sorry your news today wasn't better. You must be having a hard time dealing with the brutality and suddeness of it all! Things might work out better than everyone is saying - who knows? Just make the most of every day. Thinking of you and Frank :)

9:24 pm

stidmama

what a handsome young man your Leo is becoming! happy bday, suee

9:24 pm

stidmama

sorry about the tyops. pretty tired today

9:24 pm

Lizlin

Happy birthday to Leo :)

9:26 pm

mcurlschool

did you work today stid?

9:27 pm

stidmama

afternoon, small district, new one to me. Was glad it was a short day, some challenging students.

9:27 pm

stidmama

But I think I got them figured out (record time, for me) and next time I see them it will be a lot smoother.

9:28 pm

uusue2

thanks, liz, it's been a difficult day

9:28 pm

stidmama

was it dry where you were mcurl? It was dry for me, but cold and windy

9:28 pm

mcurlschool

good. my biggest problem seems to be keeping my groups focused on the task at hand and not worrying about someone else doing whatever.

9:28 pm

mcurlschool

It rained a little off and on all day and it was cold and windy

9:30 pm

stidmama

oh oh oh! I had that ALL DAY yesterday, but really bad in the afternoon -- primary grade that one, they were so focused on what other people weren't doing right that they weren't doing their own work... grumpy Mrs. S made them ALL put their heads on the desk and BE QU5 for 60 seconds.

9:30 pm

stidmama

I did find it helped some of those students to encourage them to model the best behavior.

9:30 pm

stidmama

:-)

9:32 pm

mcurlschool

My "threat" was to send them back to class early so the classroom teacher knew they were misbehaving. This time period (next 2 weeks) is just hard to get through regardless of age at the elementary level

9:33 pm

stidmama

that's a reasonable threat. And yes, all the experienced teachers were saying things like "full moon" and "weather change" and the principal mentioned "impending holidays"

9:34 pm

stidmama

ha. NBT

9:34 pm

uusue2

yay stid!

9:35 pm

MissOmnibus

Hey all, here to clue if anyone needs it Xx

9:35 pm

stidmama

sue, are you doing okay? I was so hopeful the news would be better. If you and Frank come visit, you can help make jams and take home as much as you like!

9:35 pm

stidmama

hey missOmnibus!

9:35 pm

MissOmnibus

hey stid, sue, mcurl everyone :D

9:35 pm

uusue2

I am, as the brits would say, gobsmacked, stid

9:35 pm

uusue2

so is Frank

9:36 pm

uusue2

hi omni!

9:36 pm

stidmama

I would be, too. I would smack the gobs back....

9:36 pm

uusue2

yeah, I am working on getting the energy to do that

9:36 pm

MissOmnibus

reminds me of gobbstoppers.... now i want candy

9:37 pm

stidmama

completely off topic, but did you see the pic of the actual double helix they took? http://tinyurl.com/cozhkyy

9:40 pm

uusue2

that is very cool, stid!

9:41 pm

stidmama

I thought so, too! Now we just need a good pic of "dark matter" and we'll have it all figured out. *naiive mama look*

9:41 pm

uusue2

Well, there are maps of dark matter, done using gravitational lensing in colliding galaxies

9:43 pm

mcurlschool

sorry, jumping between websites! His MissO!

9:43 pm

stidmama

so clever! but how did they get accelerators big enough to collide galaxies? *envisioning CERN-o-rama

9:43 pm

uusue2

http://tinyurl.com/bvvpysu

9:43 pm

uusue2

don't have to, the galaxies collide all on their own :-)

9:44 pm

stidmama

wow. that is an amazing article. thank you so much!

9:45 pm

uusue2

:-)

9:46 pm

stidmama

sue, sometimes I have dreams about large metal tanks, with eery blue light emanating from them. I think about that movie cocoon and wonder if the blue light would make us all healthy. And then I wake up. *sigh*

9:47 pm

stidmama

I am, apparently, the worst doggy-mama in the world because I think Lucky can wait another 13 minutes for his "nine o'clocks" (which retain the name even though the time change means he gets them at 8...)

9:48 pm

MissOmnibus

I sent in a list of random facts ages ago to Mr President for the licketys babble clue list... but it has been yet to appear. this makes me sad.

9:49 pm

stidmama

oh, I don't know if the random facts will happen, things are pretty rocky back there I think. You could post them at BabAnon, if you like?

9:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today

9:49 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

9:49 pm

stidmama

welcome to the grid, Min!

9:50 pm

stidmama

I am good -- taught only a little while today, but was in the right location to purchase some lovely handmade tortillas. :-) win-win, in my book!

9:51 pm

MissOmnibus

hey min :) oh i see stid

9:51 pm

Minveryork

Thanks so much stidmama!What grade did you teach today

9:52 pm

stidmama

7 and a 4/5 split. A nice combination of ages/abilities. A few challenges, but nothing that made me want to leave teaching!

9:53 pm

Minveryork

Don't come work in my school stidmama. That could do it!

9:54 pm

stidmama

There has only been one classroom where that happened in the last couple years, Min. But I know enough to know that I will find a school that is a perfect fit! And tomorrow I get to judge high school debate, which makes all the standing and waiting for kids to write their names on their papers worth while...

9:54 pm

uusue2

hi min~

9:55 pm

uusue2

*challenging stid for the worst-doggy-mama title*

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Hi uusue2! How are you? Happy Birthday to your son today!

9:56 pm

stidmama

*pulls out the arm-wrestling table*

9:57 pm

stidmama

LOL okay, Jeopardy is over, time to pack up and go get the kiddo -- I now have a day in January already scheduled, and a half-day next week morphed into a full day today. It's a good thing! :-)

9:57 pm

uusue2

thanks min!

9:57 pm

stidmama
