Good thanks. Great to read how the no smoking and the weight loss is going x
1:57 am
sarah6girls
am so pleased with myself :) and i treated myself i had hair cut yesterday :) x
1:58 am

Makes you feel so much better about yourself :)
1:59 am

That's brill. Bout time things went well for you :)
2:00 am
sarah6girls
it is but had moan at school again same boy picking on amie again :(
2:01 am
Lizlin
That's such a shame. Is Amie strong enough to put on a brave face at school and make a joke of it with her friends even if that's not what she really feels?
2:02 am
sarah6girls
no hun as it about her size she small for age :(
2:03 am
Lizlin
All the best people are small! But it's hard, for a kid. I guess she knows things like good things come in small packages!
2:04 am
sarah6girls
i tell her that all the time
2:04 am
Lizlin
It'd be great if she could just say that to him whenever he bullied her, then just walk away.
2:06 am
sarah6girls
i know but hard to do that x
2:07 am
Lizlin
If she could do it just once, it MIGHT make her feel better about herself, especially if she then walked away but I know it's hard.
2:09 am
sarah6girls
the head at school is talking to boy again today i did tell her she better sort it this time as i am now sick of this boy picking on amie and did tell her if happen again going above her head x
2:10 am
Lizlin
Glad you're taking a strong stand. Good luck. Bullying just shouldn't be tolerated by the school.
2:13 am
sarah6girls
i did say to head yesterday when she called me how would you feel if was your child and she said i not be happy

Bye Sarah x
2:35 am
flosey
thanks Liz, I'd rather get some sleep, but no good lying there wide awake
2:37 am
Lizlin
I know what you mean but perhaps the words are just playing on your mind!
2:37 am
flosey
ah, just missed Sarah, such a sweet lady
2:38 am
Lizlin
Having such a tough time with amie but doing so well with not smoking and weight loss :)
2:40 am
flosey
yes, great courage, in spite of being worried about amie
2:43 am

You're welcome. And hello!
2:46 am
flosey
yes, hello Haz, don't very often see you
2:46 am
Lizlin
Me neither. Good morning to you :)
2:46 am
Haz1558
Hello, flosey, I'm usually on after you head to bed.
2:47 am
flosey
well I did tonight, didn't work, too much whirling around in my head
2:48 am
Haz1558
It's frustrating when you want to sleep and can't.
2:50 am
flosey
yes, best thing to do is just get up again, took half a sleeping pill and will try again when/if that kicks in
2:53 am
Haz1558
Hopefully it'll work soon - does it leave you feeling groggy in the morning?
2:53 am
flosey
no, get a good sleep and clear headed in morning
2:54 am
Haz1558
That's good.
2:55 am
Haz1558
Well, I have to go and get ready to go out. I hope you sleep well eventually, flosey. Bye for now!
2:55 am
flosey
thanks Haz, have a good day
2:56 am
Haz1558
You too. Bye.

3:21 am
sprite
hi BabbleRabble, sorry, I got distracted by email. Glad to see you! And *grin* at your phantom. You know that now I have to look up the meaning, don't you?
3:23 am
o-o
Interesting word but perhaps an activity some might not embrace.
3:23 am
sprite
ah, to ride the skimmington... indeed interesting, but not something I'd like to do... or have my love doing, for that matter.
3:24 am
sprite
I am sorry I hurt your feelings a couple of days ago, btw. Didn't intend to, but I hope you know that.
3:25 am
sprite
ok... am glad. Would never do that intentionally.
3:28 am
o-o
I am very unwell now. Anger easily. Looking for the off button ... oblivion .... maybe a sip from the river lethe.
3:28 am
sprite
this grid looks decidedly unflexable. No speed going here.
3:29 am
sprite
I don't know all that is giving you a hard time, but the suicide on the forum was bad enough in itself. I really wish I could send you that little sip.
3:31 am
o-o
The grid is not so bad ... lots of ing words
3:32 am
sprite
really? Ok *kicks brain in gear* I was finding that ending rather disappointing. I must look better.
3:34 am
o-o
I guess 6 or so is not lots
3:35 am
sprite
but it is more that I had. Thanks.
3:39 am

Hi sprite and br
3:41 am

seeing your Tigger always brings a smile to my face
3:42 am
Lizlin
Ty Sprite. I love Winnie the Pooh :)
3:42 am
Lizlin
And I think I'm a bit Tiggerish!
3:43 am
sprite
nothing wrong with a bit of da Tigger ;)
3:57 am

family of our Tigger is in the grid today
3:59 am
xeiluj
Morning, just over half way through. Don't forget that y, I have used that quite a lot
3:59 am
sprite
hi xeiluj, thanks for the pointer. It is slow going here.
4:02 am
Rows
hey everybody
4:03 am
sprite
hi Rows :)
4:03 am
Rows
how's it going?
4:03 am
sprite
slow. But fun.
4:04 am
xeiluj
I really don't like A words :(
4:05 am
sprite
for some reason, words that start with a vowel are harder to spot for most of us.
4:05 am
Rows
yeah... it's a small one
4:05 am
Rows
at least for now it's a distraction
4:06 am
gapeach
May I please have a clue for ar6-24? Thanks
4:06 am
sprite
ar + in the center, in between
4:07 am
sprite
are you in need of distractions, Rows?
4:07 am
Rows
that clue didn't work for me... and yes i am
4:08 am
Rows
feeling crappy about work... found out today that i may end up being laid off after this school year, which is hard not to take personally
4:08 am
sprite
a ballet movement = ***besque.
We are glad to have you in our ****.
4:08 am
Rows
especially when i know that a lot of people were judging me a lot when i first was working at this school, and also people know that i don't like changes that they're making to my classes...
4:09 am
sprite
aw what a shame, Rows.
4:09 am
gapeach
Thanks so much, sprite.
4:09 am
Rows
i was going to most likely quit anyway, just feels shitty not to be at least offered a new contract, and i think that another teacher is also quitting anyway so there's not even need for them to lay me off
4:10 am
sprite
maybe some other school will suit you better, Rows?
4:10 am
Rows
yes i think so
4:10 am
Rows
it's just stressful, and i've been working my ass off and doing a great job
4:10 am
sprite
I can imagine. Very frustrating.
4:11 am
Rows
theoretically, that should mean that i can stay at this job... but no, they don't actually respect the foreign teachers at this school
4:11 am
Rows
anyway sorry for going into it so much... thanks for listening
4:11 am
Rows
i literally just found out that they may not offer me another contract
4:12 am
sprite
Babble is actually a good place to vent your frustration. Lots of people here care enough to listen :)
4:12 am
Rows
yeah :) i'm getting that
4:13 am
Lizlin
Sorry to read that Rows
4:13 am
sprite
:)
And the distraction of the game is good too... it helps you to not think about it for a little while and allows you to come back to it with a clear mind. I am sorry you got such bad news. And I hope something better will come your way soon.
4:14 am
Rows
yeah.. well also now at least i get a break from work
4:14 am
Rows
2 weeks break with the exception of working one day next Thursday
4:14 am
gapeach
Rows, maybe, if this happens, you will be able to find something that you like much better in the long run.
4:14 am
sprite
a break is nice.
4:15 am
xeiluj
And maybe you will be appreciated at your next place??
4:15 am
gapeach
I do understand your frustration.
4:15 am
Rows
sure, peach, and i was already going to look for another job anyway cos i wasnt happy with decisions this school was making. it's just stressful to *have* to find another job, and hard not to take it a bit personally
4:15 am
Lizlin
Are there many other teaching jobs around that would suit you?
4:15 am
Rows
there are, but it's a bit early to find them at this point i think
4:16 am
Rows
though i'd not mind moving away from Shanghai
4:16 am
gapeach
That is true, Rows.
4:17 am
Lizlin
Well I' m sure it'll work out ok in the end. I thought my world had fallen apart when I had to change schools but I moved and met my hubby. So who knows what's in store?
4:17 am
sprite
I think taking it a bit personally is perfectly human. And I think, maybe, with you not liking the way the school is going, their decision just confirms your personal feelings about it.
4:18 am
sprite
almost the same thing that happened to me, Liz :) I HAD to accept a job at the builders' union and I SO did not want to work there. But I had to... and met my love there.
4:19 am
Rows
yeah... i mean, the thing is, this school is not an international school, though it pretends to be... they're a business through and through. they are not putting the needs of the kids first.
4:19 am
Lizlin
So out of the blue!
4:19 am
Rows
i'm a teacher, so the needs of the kids are my #1 priority. i also have an outspoken personality so i'm not going to just keep quiet and do nothing while they make decisions that affect the kids negatively
4:20 am
Rows
so if anything, maybe they dont want me around so i don't rock their little boat and make them look and feel bad
4:20 am
Lizlin
Wouldn't want to be at a school that didn't put kids first tho the demands sometimes make that very hard.
4:20 am
sprite
looks that way, Rows. They probably feel you will make them lose face... they don't want that.
4:21 am
Rows
there's pretty much no way i'd do that. i've lived in China long enough to know better. also i'm a very professional person... i'm not going to talk to the parents about my personal feelings about these changes... i pretend to them like it's all wonderful
4:21 am
Rows
but of course, it's all just wasted
4:22 am
Lizlin
You just answered my next question -how long you've been in China?
4:22 am
sprite
nothing's ever wasted, Rows. Everything you have given those children will remain.
4:22 am
Rows
i've been here almost 1.5 years
4:22 am
Rows
and i just mean, it's wasted, the act that i put on for the parents
4:23 am
Rows
because it's not like it's helping me keep my job for next year
4:23 am
Lizlin
But it could work against you if you didn't put the act on!
4:23 am
sprite
I can understand you feeling hurt
4:24 am
Rows
i guess it could... i mean, at this point i should at least still get a nice reference letter
4:24 am
Lizlin
Me too! You put in so much effort!
4:24 am
Lizlin
Always useful
4:24 am
sprite
yes, absolutely, a good reference is worth a lot.
4:25 am
Rows
well i haven't gotten nothing back as far as experience goes
4:25 am
Rows
it has been really good for my own professional development
4:26 am
sprite
see? Nothing's ever wasted. At some point in your life you will be glad you learned all this. And right now, it is pretty ok to be hurt and angry. Goes with being human, doesn't it.
4:26 am
Rows
just isn't fun
4:27 am
Rows
i'd like to go out and get a drink with some friends... but i'm not sure it's gonna happen tonight
4:27 am
Lizlin
So it can only get better -I hope
4:27 am
Lizlin
Phone them and make it happen!
4:27 am
sprite
it will keep... maybe some other day soon
4:28 am
Rows
i don't have a lot of friends who are in town / available to go out
4:29 am
sprite
in the worst case, go home with a nice bottle of wine and come back to babble. You can have a virtual party and relax a bit that way.
4:29 am
Lizlin
Difficult to make friends when you move to a new place!
4:30 am
Rows
hehe true :)
4:30 am
Rows
that may be what i end up doing actually
4:30 am
Rows
Liz, friends are something difficult to really have in China anyway... or any foreign country for that matter
4:31 am
Rows
people come and go so often
4:31 am
Rows
my best friend in Shanghai moved away this month
4:31 am
Rows
back to the UK
4:31 am
sprite
fireflies. Tricky little grid. But fun.
4:31 am
Lizlin
I understand that - I've only been here 4 years. My sis in law was an ex pat in Malaysia and Thailand.
4:32 am
Lizlin
Congrats sprite :)
4:32 am
sprite
I have to go... *hugs* to you all and a ray of sunshine for Rows and for BabbleRabble. Take care.
4:33 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your day :)
4:33 am
Rows
thanks, sprite! ray of sunshine to you too *hugs*
4:40 am
Rows
Liz, where are you from originally?
4:40 am
Rows
so you find that people in Australia move in and out a lot?
4:41 am
Rows
i'm from the US
4:43 am
Lizlin
Not so much the moving - I'm here permanently but being in my 50s most people already have friendship groups and although we have friends, it's not like the friends you grow up with.
4:43 am
Lizlin
Actually the people we've met have been very friendly.
4:45 am
Rows
well it looks like i will get to go out tonight with a friend
4:45 am
gapeach
Nite my peeps.....going to try to sleep once again.
4:45 am
Rows
goodnight peach :)
4:46 am
Lizlin
My sis in law always said that locals didn't want to invest too much effort into making friends with wax pats because they move on.
4:46 am
Lizlin
Sleep well Peach :)
4:46 am
Rows
yeah... well it's even harder to make friends with locals in China
4:47 am
Rows
there are pretty big cultural differences and a language barrier
4:47 am
Rows
so almost all my friends here are expats
4:47 am
Lizlin
I can believe it - getting over the language barrier must be hard. And the culture is so different.
4:47 am
Lizlin
Great minds!
4:48 am
Lizlin
Got to go for now. Enjoy your evening. Se you soon :)
4:48 am
Rows
okay, take care!

hello, this is the first moment I've had -- been to Lausanne and back

Hi Gran Mere. What smells good in your kitchen today?
4:56 pm
stidgmere
Today we had crab for lunch, Molly. I fixed a thousand island style dressing (mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and horseradish along with sweet relish), lettuce, french bread. We spent over an hour at table cracking jokes and crab. Murphy had a taste after we finished and he wants a crab of his own next time. So who will crack his crab?
4:57 pm
MollyL
Being a Maryland girl, I love crabs. And half the fun of eating them is the cracking jokes and crab part. Sounds delicious.
4:58 pm
MollyL
Oh and I will share my crab meat with Murphy any day.
4:59 pm
stidgmere
We have a local fish market where the owner's brothers have a crab fishing boat. The owner writes a weekly enewsletter which highlights the fresh fish along with recipes. Absolutely a great saleslady!!
5:00 pm
stidgmere
So, here's the plan, Molly. You fly out here, we provide crab, crackers, and pick. Murphy sits next to you and we all have a crabfest.

interesting.i saw a bit on applebees, and the fact that they auto-tip when the bill is being added up.last time i checked a tip was a bit extra for a good meal or good service by your server.when did it become mandatory in the states? i would not frequent a place that TOLD me i was going to tip 18%. what if i told all the guys working for me to add 18% to your credit card bill when you got gas at my station?
5:13 pm

Auto-tip? I would auto delete. Not fair.

i was stunned at the nerve of it
5:16 pm
periwinkle
that mi5/20 is my last word and cannot see it in morewords
5:16 pm
crosshair
my thoughts are if you pay your employees so little that they MUST have tips to make a living wage,then maybe you should not be in business
5:16 pm
Jillyjill
Well, there goes eating at Applebees...I so totally agree with you crossy
5:16 pm
Jillyjill
and hello all

Should have said sometimes vowel. I had cataract surgery this morning. Not seeing very well at the moment.

my mrs had cataracts and glass lenses done in both eyes a few years ago.quite the difference eh habes?:))
5:24 pm

TIP stands for "to insure performance". It should be an extra, not a given.
5:26 pm
crosshair
indeed,do not use me to bring your employee,s pay cheque up to what it should be in the first place
5:26 pm
Habes
It's a huge difference. My vision was pretty good to begin with until the cataracts. The past year or so has been pretty miserable. Now I can see again!
5:27 pm
crosshair
i know there is different min wage levels in state for food servers and this also should not be
5:27 pm
MollyL
Not only that but a guaranteed tip does not inspire servers to do their best.
5:27 pm

Very pleased to know you already are seeing better!!
5:27 pm

LOL, reminds me of a story...when we first moved into our little villlage, the local market had just opened a fish counter...
5:45 pm
Jillyjill
Standing there was an older couple whom looked like a chubby version of American Gothic...bib overals and all
5:45 pm

So my hubby and i proceed to order some calamari steaks, to which the farmer couple asked What Are Those?

5:47 pm

gotta run, something came up, BBL
5:47 pm
Jillyjill
The counter person said, 'calamari'. No, he said, what ARE they, the counter person then described the taste still he persisted as to what they were, the counter person described how to cook them...
5:48 pm
Jillyjill
finally and loudly he again asked, NO WHAT ARE THEY...timidly the counter person said "squid'....their faces then became priceless....probably first fish counter they had ever been at...
5:49 pm
Jillyjill
But watching the counter person do everything they could to avoid saying squid...

6:46 pm
Dorens
sorry, molly, stepped away from the computer. Things went ok with Lucy, she died at home at 1:30 Monday morning... I had brought her into my bedroom and she was relatively peaceful. I buried her in my garden yesterday and still miss her, but I'll be okay.
6:47 pm
rururocks
when you have a great, great pet Doren.. it's about the time you had.. not the ending
6:47 pm

Getting colder now.
6:48 pm

true ru. and we had a good long time. Probably just as well she ended it with me instead of a vet's office with a shot.
6:48 pm
rururocks
still it's very sad..i'm sorry
6:49 pm
gapeach
I am so sorry Dorens.
6:49 pm
Dorens
thanks to you all. this is definitely the place to get sympathy at the loss of a pet. Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis of percentage of babblers with beloved pets vs. the general population?
6:50 pm
Dorens
silly rhetoricall question, don't answer
6:50 pm
MollyL
I don't know Dorens but it seems like everyone who plays Babble (except me) has pets.
6:50 pm
saanichcat
I add my condolences and that was a lovely comment ruru.I have always paid more to have the vet come to my place so the cat doesn't have the stress of travel.
6:50 pm
Dorens
I don't think owl does, but I could be wrong
6:51 pm
rururocks
I think Owl has cats no? or am I thinking of someone else

When I first started playing I thought it was a word game for pet owners because chat was all about cats and dogs.
6:52 pm
Dorens
owl likes cats, but don't think she has one. I have heard that Peri does, though, and they both live in the Philadelphia area..?
