6:14 am
Anniebrook
ruby, very happy for you. Burt must be delighted.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
She is exceptionally cute, feisty and smart and she and Rufie take turns chasing each other. The mud, however, is driving me insane
6:15 am
rubyfoo
He likes the ew puppy but is mostly uninvolved and doesn't help me t al
6:15 am
Anniebrook
I feel bad, you must be working very hard to keep up with the mud. Pray for sun.
6:15 am
rubyfoo
he would probably have been better off on Prozac *a(and there'd be ess mud).
6:16 am
rubyfoo
all I do is wash the outside steps and endless towels
6:16 am
smores
mmm...coffee
6:16 am
rubyfoo
but I love this pup already
6:16 am
Anniebrook
who you putting on prozac? Burt or Raffie. Hang in there.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
we just had "Easter lamb" at the local Italian and it wa the best thig we've had there
6:17 am
smores
Hi ruby...
6:17 am
Anniebrook
I love lamb
6:17 am
rubyfoo
BURT! Raffie is perfect
6:17 am
smores
sorry to hear youre not getting any help
6:18 am
rubyfoo
usually, I marinate a boned leg of halaal lamb and we cook it outdoors on a spit This ws Fr lamb and it was terrific
6:18 am
Anniebrook
my mouth is watering
6:18 am
smores
sounds yummy
6:18 am
rubyfoo
more tasty than halaal
6:18 am
rubyfoo
and they served it with flageolets
6:19 am
rubyfoo

6:19 am
zoozzoom
Lets see, no new pup & clean towels or new pup & washing lots of towels...I know you would choose washing muddy towels every time, Ruby :-)
6:19 am
rubyfoo

6:20 am
MollyL
Maybe I'm being dumb here, but wouldn't it help if you washed their paws off when they came inside?
6:20 am
rubyfoo
OMG, I think the sun just came out
6:20 am
smores
woohoo ruby :)
6:21 am
rubyfoo
Molly, they are in and out all day because that's the o nly way I can be sure that Raffie won't "go" in the house
6:21 am
rubyfoo
I would have to spend my whole day by the door
6:21 am
smores
hope it stays long enough to dry things out a bit
6:21 am
rubyfoo
but I think that all the rain will make the spring flowers glorious this year
6:22 am
rubyfoo

6:22 am

Ruby, cold but beautiful sunshine here..not had that for ages..hope it comes your way soon.

*Hands Rbud a chocolate bunny*
6:50 am
Kaplan the Magne
lots of questionable words here
6:50 am
rbud
oooh, yummy!! ty! was just bemoaning to myself that I have no chocolate for myself today - waiting for the after Easter sales, haha!!
6:52 am
rbud
still working my way through to nbt - anyone have a hint for the lone E in the 4th column?
6:52 am
MollyL
Every kid (and grown up kid) should have a chocolate bunny for Easter. I don't care what those Save The Bunny commercials say. : P
6:53 am
MollyL
Plural of the letter before T.
6:54 am
rbud
well, how about that. would never have tried it without 3 S's! ty.
6:56 am
rbud
This my be the first year I don't have at least a bit of Easter stuff for our kids - but then they're 21 and 25. Our son's not much on sweets, and our daughter sure doesn't need any, she gets them daily herself! :\
6:57 am
rbud
I, on the other hand, love chocolate and deserve plenty! :D
6:58 am
Anniebrook
*rains down chocolate Easter bunnies on rbud*
7:01 am
Anniebrook
my pleasure
7:03 am
MollyL
My kids get Easter treats no matter what age they are. When they show up for Easter, that is.
7:06 am
rbud
well, both of ours live here, kind of tired of them. oops! did I say that out loud, lol!!??
7:07 am
rbud
for example, our son has been sneakily moving a buddy in over the last couple of days, thinking we'd either not notice or not mind. wrong.
7:08 am
MollyL
Oh no, two adult kids living at home is enough.
7:08 am
rbud
tired of being the home for wayward homeless folks, which we are famous for being here.
7:08 am
Anniebrook
rbud, can you tell your son that you will not allow his friend to move in?
7:09 am
MollyL
Or that he's welcome, as long as he pays rent.
7:09 am
rbud
Did so. "but he's got nowhere to go, it'll just be a few days..." - plus the buddy has a HUGE TV, very attractive to our son, lol
7:10 am
MollyL
Hmm, he has a huge TV, but nowhere to go. I sense a lack of correct priorities.
7:10 am
rbud
Yes, I agree. I believe he's here because he could no longer pay rent out at the motel where he was living, so not much hope of that.
7:10 am
Anniebrook
if the TV stays the buddy stays.
7:11 am
Anniebrook
Does the buddy have a job?
7:11 am
rbud
don't think so, though he has been known to hold down a job for over a year recently, unlike our son. :P
7:12 am
MollyL
Buddy 1 and Buddy 2 need to get jobs and an apartment to share.
7:12 am
rbud
We have Hubby's old shop outside in the yard, that's where the sneaky moving in was going on, not in our house, at least, whew.
7:13 am
rbud
our son commandeered that space long ago, and with spring finally coming, it's looking habitable again.
7:13 am
Anniebrook
rbud, No one should be sneaking onto your property. I hope you dont mind me being forward.
7:13 am
Anniebrook
without your permission, that is.
7:14 am
MollyL
Well, if he had permission, it wouldn't be sneaking.
: D
7:14 am
Anniebrook
yes, quite true, Molly
7:14 am
rbud
Oh, I totally agree, but just try to tell son that, he's a bullheaded PITA.
7:15 am
rbud
I don't much care for the buddy, he's kind of a local moocher. Has been thrown out of various living arrangements for years.
7:16 am
Anniebrook
rbud, then I would not allow him to live in my house or shop, it's looking for a problem
7:17 am
MollyL
There are a lot of young people today who seem to have absolutely no motivation to be self supporting. It's sad.
7:17 am
rbud
the really sad part is that the old shop was supposed to be mine, sigh - to set up my woodworking and refinishing stuff. But son "failed to launch" when given a car and marching orders. Still trying to figure out how to get him out of the nest.
7:18 am
rbud
thing is, Hubby needs all the help he can get, and son is good with that.
7:18 am
MollyL
Oh hell no Rbud. He gets a room in the house if you can't get him launched, but you should not have to give up "your space".
7:19 am
rbud
and at least the buddy is polite and not a thief, like several of son's other buddies (now in jail, thank goodness)
7:19 am
gramma
rbud, When are 5 were growing up, we always looked at their friends for input. If their friends were doing drugs, odds are they were too. If their friends were into sports, again...You get the idea. Tough love. Do it now or you won't want him around in your life later.
7:19 am
gramma
Sounds like drugs
7:20 am
rbud
I hear you, gramma, and believe me, it's a problem we go around about constantly.
7:20 am
gramma
I know it's hard but you have to let him help himself
7:21 am
rbud
at the moment, we're just glad the nightly noise goes on out there and not in the house, which is why we let him commandeer the building in the first place, otherwise his friends were up and down the stairs half the night.
7:22 am
Anniebrook
rbud, you shouldn't have to put up with this. How old is your son?
7:23 am
gramma
Here's a link for you. Please watch the video "Why we wait" http://www.interventionservicesinc.com\n/
7:23 am
rbud
band practice, loud music, etc. Son has a nice hardworking girlfriend now, she has plans to get him out of here, I like her, lol
7:23 am
gramma
He needs plans. He shouldn't just follow her.
7:24 am
rbud
he's 21, finally can stop worrying about his underage sneaky drinking, and it's nearly stopped now since it's no longer a challenge, haha!
7:26 am
rbud
I just get tired of being the only one expected to deal with stuff to do with the kids, Hubby has distanced himself from most discipline years ago, after child services showed up to inform him he couldn't spank our son unless he wanted to be charged with domestic abuse. Thus began the trouble, a long sad story.

it's considered rude in the UK lol
8:00 am
Scrabbler
What does it mean there? Here it means to annoy/anger or to pee.
8:01 am
MollyL
Don't let Mom fool you, she's a feisty one.
: D
8:01 am
worzel
yes, to urinate, but it's considered one of the ruder curse words over here. You Americans have a much better attitude towards certain words in my opinion. Always loved the USA xxx

trying to motivate myself to do my taxes
11:20 am
rururocks
ugh ..ours are done.. not good here

11:21 am
rururocks
I just don't like the way the government spends money
11:22 am
rururocks
I wish my tax dollars paid for domestic issues
11:22 am
welki
i can't recall a time when anyone really approved of the way a government handled money
11:23 am
MollyL
They do. They pay for all that medical care and assistance for illegal immigrants.
11:23 am
welki
i agree with you on the domestic issues, ru - feed our children first
11:24 am
welki
before committing money overseas
11:24 am

criminal to me welki
11:24 am
rururocks
I volunteered at a food line last year and I couldn't believe what I saw
11:25 am
welki
many of the people i deal with are indigent - not only homeless, but the working poor who are struggling to feed and clothe their children (and themselves) - it's an eye opener, for sure
11:26 am
rururocks
and then we spend billions giving free fighter jets to Syria
11:26 am
rururocks
or things like that
11:26 am
welki
i keep a supply of granola bars, cans of soup and transit tickets in my desk
11:27 am
rururocks
that's nice welks
11:27 am
rururocks
I may be a volunteer this year again too.. i
11:27 am
welki
no, not really - i think it's an obligation. by no means would anyone consider me 'nice' - at work or here, i suppose :)
11:27 am
rururocks
will try.. those slots fill up fast
11:28 am
welki
it could be any one of us - things can go south in a blink of an eye
11:28 am
rururocks
yep that's true
11:29 am
welki
ru - wouldn't that soup kitchen need volunteers all year long, not just at holiday time (when it's difficult to find a work slot)?
11:30 am
rururocks
yeah..it's just during the holidays I have some time off to do it
11:31 am
welki
ohh, i see - well, get your name in there as soon as you can

2:53 pm
Soodle
I'm such an Irish Mammy. No meat on Good Friday. I rustled up a very tasty prawn, salmon, tagliatelle & pernod concoction the other day. I made it up as I went along, and I'm annoyed now that I didn't write it down.
2:53 pm
stidgmere
Oh, well yu will be a bigger guy with double shrimp cocktails.
2:54 pm
stidgmere
You will again be inspired Soodle. Just the right ingredients will come together and voila.

2:57 pm
stidgmere
Like Julia Child thought, once you know the basics, the changes are where each person shows her genius.
2:57 pm
Soodle
Babblers howl laughing when they hear about Soodle special dinners. Invariably, there are 3 or 4 types of potatoes.
2:58 pm
lilliann
bbiab.i need to google the hotel they are staying at and see if i can get a phone number
2:58 pm
stidgmere

2:58 pm
Soodle

3:25 pm
MLFAN17
bichon can you clue it please?

In my personal view, religious holidays aren't always about having fun. [grump here]. It's devotion to a belief.

5:57 pm
smores
Ah...and it just happened to be Easter eh?
5:57 pm
dcseain
that makes sense, bichon.
5:58 pm

Are you Eastering today or not.

Hello all...WooT WooT WooT dc...and thanks for the begining clue for me!
6:49 pm
torgone
Not as such, but I do always make a feast ..
6:49 pm
MollyL
Hi Jill. How was your Easter cottage cheese : P
6:50 pm
MollyL
Thumbs up to a feast Tor, for any occasion. What did you make?
6:50 pm
Jillyjill
Actually my dear molly, hate to disappoint, but I feasted today!
6:50 pm
MollyL
Oh good for you Jill! Not disappointed at all.
6:51 pm
Jillyjill
Okay, I know Jedi is not a word...but I had to try it..LOL
6:51 pm
torgone
Ham, smashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. etc.
6:52 pm
MollyL
We need to come up with a name for that. You know it's not a word, but you try it anyway.
6:52 pm
Jillyjill
I agree....will think on that for awhile..
6:53 pm
MollyL
My first thought is attemptation.
6:54 pm
MollyL
But that is just the desire to try a word that you know is not accepted.
6:56 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...or fu-tile...
6:58 pm
MollyL
There is actually a real word that fits...wastry
7:00 pm
Jillyjill
Good one Molly....and, did you have a nice Easter btw?

Hi Teach and Happy Easter to you!

BTW, it's my dad's 92nd birthday today; I called him and wished him a happy birthday - he is doing fine!
7:11 pm
wvteach
happy birthday - sues dad
7:53 pm
Nef
Hello Everyone. Happy Easter to all. :-)
7:54 pm
Nef
Glad to hear he's doing well, Sue. Happy Birthday to him too!
7:55 pm
Nef
Oh. I see there's been a silence in the chog for a while....
8:00 pm
rururocks
we're taking a moment of silence
8:01 pm
Nef
Well, ruru; I've never known to be silent for too long....
8:02 pm
Nef
but I *am* the quiet one in my family; so I can be quiet for a minute or 2
8:03 pm
rururocks
we need to think about all those eggs, chocolate eggs, peeps, and hams that were consumed savagely today
8:04 pm
Nef
we didn't have any of that other than deviled eggs (which are a family tradition for every holiday or family gathering)
8:04 pm
Nef
we had roasted leg of lamb instead.
8:05 pm
rururocks
*alternate silence for lambs*
8:06 pm
Nef
So what did you have? All of the above?
8:06 pm
Nef
err belos I mean?
8:07 pm
rururocks
none of the below.. I'm having pork chops :D
8:08 pm
MollyL
<---Loves deviled eggs : D
8:08 pm
Nef
that sounds good. Our D-I-L doesn't eat pork; now (today, after it's served) she tells us she doesn't eat lamb either. My son told her that she'd had it before here; her response was that she "thought it was beef" in the past..
8:10 pm
Nef
DH's Aunt used to make them for all the holidays; and that grew to the point that we had them for birthdays, holidays, and any Sunday dinner (or any day of the week) that we ate together
8:10 pm
MollyL
I'm sorry but that is rude. If you are going to be a guest in someone's house for dinner, you should tell them of any dietary restrictions.
8:13 pm
rururocks
sometimes the hosts don't remember and do what they want any way
8:14 pm
Nef
her diet seems to change every month or so, Molly. In the past year she's been vegetarian, vegan, glutin free, and now on a "Paleo diet (meats, fruits and veggies, with little or no carbs/grains/pastas); so I thought I'd chosen a "friendly " diet menu for everyone
8:15 pm
MollyL
Well in that case Nef, you should just serve what you want and give her a big ole plate of kale. : D
8:15 pm
Nef
I'm pretty sure she has some sort of eating disorder, but it isn't anorexia or bulemia. I don't think that most people can focus so much on foods and change their diets so radically
8:15 pm
rururocks
lol.. she kind of sounds like a nutcase nef
8:16 pm
MollyL
Some people are obsessed with food and dieting. She sounds like one of them.
8:16 pm
Nef
she is, ruru; she's bipolar + several other problems and was sexually abused as a child also
8:18 pm
rururocks
well.. tell her Lamb is Beef in New Zealand
8:18 pm
Nef
she's just obsessed, Molly. At least the food issues *might* be a healthier outlet? (I don't know)
8:21 pm
Nef
That's why we have our grandson so much: I try to give his a more "normal" environment
8:22 pm
rururocks
good call.. my grandmother did the same for me
8:22 pm
MollyL
I have a friend who used to be obsessed with food. Talked constantly about what she ate, what she didn't eat. Weighed herself every day. Lost sleep over gaining a few pounds. It took a lot of therapy to get her over that. Thankfully, she eats like a normal person now.
8:23 pm
Nef
and did you turn out okay, ruru? Or maybe I shouldn't judge you by your personna here.... ;-)
8:23 pm
rururocks
...don't get me started nef :D
8:25 pm
Nef
Molly, I do know that there is help for eating disorders. I had a young cousin who, when I was in Nursing School, lost so much weight that she was down to about 69 lbs in 10th grade. She's healthy now and normal sized.
8:26 pm
rururocks
I think my mom was Bulimic
8:26 pm
Nef
Did your Mom or your Dad have mental problems, ruru?
8:26 pm
rururocks
oh.. sure.. both..
8:27 pm
MollyL
A lot of obsessive behavior, compulsive behavior and addiction problems have a root cause of low self worth. And many people don't get the correct treatment for that, mental health wise.
8:27 pm
rururocks
my mom was completely nuts
8:27 pm
rururocks
is nuts.. she's still alive .. at least as far as I know
8:28 pm
Nef
okay. You don't have to talk about it ru; I was just curious which one it was
8:29 pm
rururocks
my dad was nuts too.. anger issues, borderline personality disorder, violent...
8:29 pm
Nef
isn't it amazing how kids survive in spite of crazy parents?
8:29 pm
MollyL
Crappy way to grow up Ru. I'm glad you survived, then thrived.
8:29 pm
rururocks
yes.. it certainly is.. kids are amazingly resilient
8:31 pm
rururocks
I've done okay in life.. it could have been better I suppose.. i'm sure a lot of my weird sick humor comes from growing up like that :D
8:31 pm
Nef
and really; it's a good thing kids are resilient too. We'd be in tough shape as a society if that wasn't true
8:31 pm
rururocks
(blame the parents for sick humor...)
8:32 pm
MollyL
Caroline Myss has an interesting theory she calls "woundology". Her belief is that some people choose to move beyond their wounds and others choose to carry them around for life.
8:32 pm
rururocks
oh.. I've heard about that Molly.. I bet that is true.
I have some wounds that won't heal.. I'm thinking of seeing someone soon
8:33 pm
Nef
Do they actually move beyond their wounds; or do they learn how to cope with it better than others?
8:33 pm
MollyL
They may not have healed yet, but they will. And the fact that you are thinking about seeing someone is a good sign.
8:35 pm
Nef
I think some of my wounds have made me a stronger and kinder person though; not sure they've healed...
8:35 pm
rururocks
you are a kind and thoughtful person nef.. amazingly so
8:35 pm
rururocks
you're a caretaker type
8:35 pm
MollyL
I heard a lecture once that compared emotional wounds to physical wounds. The guy giving the lecture told a story about a man who went to the doctor with a wound that would not heal. The doctor's first question was "How much do you pick at the scab?"
8:36 pm
Nef
maybe because I learned to do that, ru; because of some stuff in my past?
8:36 pm
rururocks
could be.. could be your nature too
8:36 pm
Nef
LOL! Good question!
8:37 pm
rururocks
what was the second question?
8:38 pm
MollyL
Um...the second question wasn't exactly the point of the story.
8:41 pm
rururocks
damn.. thought it was going to get better. :D
8:42 pm
Nef
My Aunt (the one who raised me) could say the meanest things to me. My hometown is a 6 1/2 hour drive from the Cities and there were many times that I cried the whole drive back here. That's just how she was to me. Another Aunt gave me the book "Irregular People" (listed in my profile) and that helped me deal with the other one and come to terms with her.
8:43 pm
Nef
And yet I was the one called home to care for her when she was dying....
8:44 pm
rururocks
did she ever say why she was so mean to you?
8:45 pm
MollyL
I think some people just have a mean nature.
8:45 pm
Nef
She didn't like me. (And I was also her god child). I was too slow; too quiet; too -whatever.
8:46 pm
rururocks
ah.. I see.. I always wanted to ask my mom why she had kids when it is obvious to me that she hates them
8:46 pm
Nef
she liked my siblings more than me. I think it was just a personality thing; I don't know
8:46 pm
MollyL
Nef, my Irish grandmother would say you have earned your place in Heaven five times over. : )
8:46 pm
Nef
how many did she have, ru?
8:47 pm
rururocks
She had kids ...because that's what people did in the 50's...
8:47 pm
MollyL
I don't think women of our parents generation thought of having kids as a choice. It was expected of them.
8:47 pm
rururocks
yeah.. that's what i just said too molly
8:47 pm
Nef
and my Irish Grandma used to say you'd be building your castle in Heaven too
8:48 pm
Nef
well, it's a good thing she only had 2 then!
8:48 pm
rururocks
LOL.. yeah..
8:50 pm
rururocks
god..it's pouring here
8:51 pm
rururocks
I took a walk and got drenched
8:51 pm
Nef
Ahh, well; I think I've learned not to treat others the way I was treated
8:52 pm
Nef
do you need the rain there?
8:52 pm
wvteach
help with DI 6/21 (second, last one please
8:53 pm
rururocks
it's been kind of dry lately.. we've had nice clear weather.. so yes.. it is kind of needed
8:53 pm
MollyL
And that is a good thing Nef. It all comes down to how you choose to live your life. You chose well, grasshopper. : )
8:53 pm
rururocks
to say unkind things WV
8:53 pm
Nef
that's why I asked if wound heal, Molly. :-)
8:54 pm
rururocks
it's a plural WV
8:54 pm
Nef
sorry, wv; I don't have either (but I'm working on it now!)
8:54 pm
wvteach
thnx ruru
8:55 pm
MollyL
And that is what made me think of the lecture Nef. Whether or not wounds heal depends on how much you pick at them. Or whether you choose to live in them, or move beyond them.
8:56 pm
rururocks
I'm ready to move beyond them again..
9:03 pm
rururocks
time to make dinner.. nice chatting about something real for once
9:04 pm
Nef
bye for now, ruru. I still have 111 words left
9:04 pm
MollyL
Enjoy your dinner. And I agree, the something real chats are always the best.
9:06 pm
Nef
I do too. But then; I do like to chat!
9:09 pm
torgone
There goes Molly - forcing her opinions on everyone again ;^)
9:11 pm
Nef
hi tor! How are you tonight?
9:13 pm
torgone
Impish as ever ..
9:14 pm
MollyL
I know Tor, isn't it awful. The scathing emails will be flying.
9:14 pm
Jillyjill
Hello all, torgone,nef, ruru, wv...back to find some more
9:14 pm
Jillyjill
Hello all, torgone,nef, ruru, wv...back to find some more
9:14 pm
Jillyjill
Sheesh...trick trigger finger tonight.
9:16 pm
Jillyjill
Whew...thought I might be being shunned ;)
9:16 pm
Nef
And Happy Easter to you both, Tor and Jilly
9:18 pm
Jillyjill
Thank you nef, and happy easater to you and DH also!
9:31 pm
Jillyjill
Lots of left and right turns in this grid...
9:31 pm
Nef
I swear there aren't any more words in this grid; but the word stats say I need to find 86 still!
9:32 pm
Nef
so I should try more right and left turns, Jilly?
9:33 pm
uusue2
I have 69 left and have more or less given up...
9:33 pm
Jillyjill
More left hand turns I think...that and remembering where there are same letters...
9:33 pm
Nef
hi sue! Happy Easter to you and Happy Birthday to your dad!
9:33 pm
Jillyjill
Hello again uusue! I enjoyed Franks tour of your new home!
9:34 pm
uusue2
thanks, Jill! It looks better than that already since we have a lot of the furniture unpacked and assembled
9:34 pm
uusue2
thanks, nef! I am amazed at how well he continues to do.
9:34 pm
Nef
after his tough year last year; that is amazing
9:35 pm
uusue2
yes, he's pretty much completely recovered. He's decided not to drive out to visit me, though; now he's talking about taking the train (!)
9:35 pm
Nef
that would be a better way for him to travel I'd think. :-)
9:35 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...I did think Frank was a typical guy...not thinking perhaps YOU would want him to wait until more moved into...but it really doesn't matter to those of us whom have moved frequently...
9:36 pm
uusue2
oh, I didn't mind, I just want to post an update some time soon :-)
9:37 pm
uusue2
and nef, I am also just as glad my dad decided not to drive out here; it's a little too ambitious for him now, I think
9:38 pm
Nef
did Frank post pictures on FB?
9:38 pm
uusue2
he posted a video tour of our new house, nef
9:40 pm
Nef
oh. :-( I can't see videos on my computer. I'll have to try something else
9:42 pm
Nef
I need to post a picture of my DH on my page. He made our dtr take a picture of him in his new t-shirt for his FB page.
9:42 pm
Jillyjill
I would enjoy 'meeting' him nef!
9:42 pm
uusue2
ah well, I told my dad I'd email him some photos of the house, so I'll put those on facebook as soon as I take them :-)
9:43 pm
Nef
His t-shirt has the Tardis and the Delauran from Back to the Future beginning to crash on it
9:43 pm
uusue2
he is very sweet, Jill, I have actually met him
9:43 pm
Nef
he is very sweet (most of the time!) ;-)
9:43 pm
Jillyjill
And I am sure he is thrilled with the return of Doctor Who?
9:44 pm
Nef
We've been Dr. Who fans for over 20 years I believe
9:45 pm
Nef
(our whole family are Dr. Who fans; our dtr. even dressed as the Tardis for Halloween)
9:47 pm
Jillyjill
My oldest is a fan-atic as well.. I never quite got into it. Certainly don't need another addiction at this point, but my son keeps me updated
9:48 pm
uusue2
I have fond memories of the Tom Baker era; the newer doctors don't quite have the same effect on me :-)
9:48 pm
Nef
There; I've posted it.

9:51 pm
uusue2
hi min! I am ok, Frank is not doing so well but better now than earlier in the day
9:51 pm
Minveryork
Happy Easter everyone! Sorry to hear about Frank uusue2.
9:52 pm
MollyL
Happy Easter to you too Min. Did you do anything fun?
9:52 pm
Jillyjill
OH darn uusue...sorry to hear that; thought with the video he was fine...
9:52 pm
uusue2
I think he should be better by tomorrow, min, if not I am taking him to the doctor
9:53 pm
uusue2
ah, that was a few days ago, Jill. He's not in terrible shape, just having some annoying side effects from the chemo
9:54 pm
Jillyjill
Dang, remind me how far into this is he?
9:55 pm
uusue2
he started his eighth cycle last Wednesday; initial plan is 12 cycles, then another scan, then a break depending on how the scan looks
9:55 pm
Jillyjill
Good, on the almost done side...
9:57 pm
uusue2
yes, especially if the next scan looks clear
9:57 pm
Minveryork
MollyL, I went to Vermont for Easter. I went up Friday and came back today. Back to work tomorrow. Total bummer!
9:58 pm
MollyL
Oh too bad Min. Here the schools are closed Easter Monday because so many people travel for Easter.
9:59 pm
Nef
Sorry, I wandered over to FB for a few minutes and got distracted there.

I hope you had a lovely visit, Min
9:59 pm
Jillyjill
I was surprised that the schools here operate full day on Good Friday...
10:00 pm
Jillyjill
Go minv!!
10:00 pm
Minveryork
I did! Thank you Nef. I wish it could've been longer though
10:01 pm
Nef
GO, Min! You can do it!
10:02 pm
Nef
school breaks are never long enough; are they?

10:02 pm
Minveryork
I found out over my vacation that my school will be closing
10:02 pm
uusue2
yay Jill!
10:03 pm
Nef
Oh, No, Min!
10:03 pm
Minveryork
The school will be re-opening next year under a new name
10:03 pm
MollyL
Oh Jeeze Min, what does that mean for you job wise?
10:03 pm
Jillyjill
Oh no minv...oh...reread..phew!!
10:03 pm
Minveryork
50 percent of the staff can stay and 50 percent have to go.
10:03 pm
Minveryork
It means that I will probably have to goto another building
10:04 pm
Jillyjill
But you will have a job?
10:04 pm
uusue2
as long as you still have a job, min!
10:04 pm
Minveryork
I'll still have a job thank goodness.I just don't know where.
10:05 pm
Jillyjill
Could it mean a worse commute?
10:05 pm
Nef
Whew! That's good news.
10:06 pm
MollyL
I hope not. Her commute is long enough as it is.
10:06 pm
Nef
how far do you travel now, Min?
10:06 pm
Jillyjill
Well...my bedtime...niters all!
10:07 pm
MollyL
I'll hold good thoughts that this turns into something good for you Min.
10:07 pm
Nef
Niters, Jilly. I'm guessing that you work tomorrow? Have a good one then
10:07 pm
Minveryork
Commute will still be same since I'll still be in the same school district.However,I might be in a place where I do not have my own classroom, which I do have now. That is what I will miss the most, having my own classroom.
10:08 pm
uusue2
night, Jill!
10:08 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye Jillyjill! I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe.
10:08 pm
uusue2
what do you teach, min?
10:09 pm
Minveryork
My work is 55 miles away from me so I travel a total of 110 miles a day. I'll still be doing the same commute next year.
10:09 pm
Minveryork
I teach ESL,so I take small groups of kids into my classroom
10:09 pm
Nef
OMG, Min! I couldn't do that!
10:10 pm
uusue2
wow, that is a long commute, min! Do you drive, or can you take public transportation?
10:10 pm
Minveryork
In the other schools, the ESL teacher either pushes into the classrooms and she has to carry everything with her or they share a room with 3 or 4 other ESL and reading teachers.
10:11 pm
Minveryork
I could take the train, but that is inconvenient for me. I do carpool sometimes, however, I have to drive 25 minutes to meet the person I carpool with, but it does help out some.
10:14 pm
Nef
I would be falling asleep at the wheel probably both ways, Min. I loved/love working; but it is so exhausting that I've had trouble driving 20 minutes home.
10:14 pm
Minveryork
Speaking of work, I need to go to bed since I have to be up early in morning. I am going to beg for clues for my last 7.
10:15 pm
Minveryork
Do not want to give up with just 7 left so the clue begging will start.
