12:29 am
rururocks
I am still on 1:30 time
12:30 am
melonheadjujube
That seems to be going around. There are several here in Cleveland, too. The one nearst me is always locked up when I go by it.
12:32 am
melonheadjujube
Oh, and the cutest thing happened today. Our post-lady walked by and waved as I was playing. I got up to say hi and tell her it was a new piano. She had seen the truck, and heard me through the windows.
12:33 am
jillibus
nice, melon!
12:34 am
rururocks
I'm heading to bed

gnight ruru -- I'll be off soon too -- just want to find a 7 and an 8 for nbs, and the lone E in the 4th column for nbt
12:37 am
melonheadjujube
It is so refined. I wear every day, and always to bed. I have quite a collection, and my second favorite website is basenotes. net where we chat fragrance all the time.
12:37 am

I like Shiseido Zen
12:39 am

greek tragedy description
12:47 am

ah, I had tried that, but wrong ending, got it this time. TX, ARB.
12:48 am
jillibus
the ending escapes me. I want an L.
12:48 am
Erda
It relates to the Greek king who was blinded, and has provided a major help in naming a psychological complex
12:48 am
melonheadjujube
what you want is a two-letter article
12:49 am
Erda
ends in "ean"
12:49 am
jillibus
ty melon -- I had tried that but it needed another vowel.
12:49 am

2:39 am

2:40 am
puglet
and I did get the drawers=lal
2:40 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, pugs. but i bet you feel really proud of yourself, though
2:40 am
joso

2:40 am
grannyrose
and swim, and break a lamp.....
2:40 am
joso
you are much more virtuous than I

puglet
Hows things with you Liz
2:45 am
Lizlin
Good thanks. Another beautiful day here.
2:46 am
joso
I have a solution to your dusting problem pug. If you don't rush it, after a year or so, it forms into kind of a felt pad, much easier to remove then.
2:48 am
puglet
after a year my lungs would need pumped out too--we get alot of dust here. I think alot is due to farmers out in fields
2:49 am
joso
well if you are going to be picky
2:54 am
puglet
what do ya know peepee isnt a word-lol
2:55 am
jwr
ok. who let the bathing suit in the grid??
2:56 am
jwr
don't know about peepeeing in the grid -- usually in the swimming pool.
2:57 am
jwr
is that your dog, pug?
2:58 am
jwr
well, there goes my break, back to work, g'bye
2:58 am
puglet
no but she looks just like that--I dont have a camera to put up pictures yet. And hello
2:58 am
jwr
sorry didn't know I'd have to leave so soon. cute, pug
3:41 am
joso
hey pug, are you still about
3:43 am
grannyrose

3:44 am
puglet

3:45 am
puglet
Well Mr Joso --where are you?
3:48 am
grannyrose
brb, potty break
3:49 am
puglet
I need to refill coffee brb
3:50 am
joso
it's dumb but I've been meaning to mention this and keep forgetting. your icon is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm not fond of the look of pugs in general but that shot is marvoulous. Tha tlittle face says so much
4:01 am
puglet
thanks Joso--this is my first small dog and I wish I had gotten one sooner. I was always a boxer and pitbull and american bulldog person
4:02 am
puglet

4:06 am
rubyfoo
{{joso]} but what's a bovie
4:06 am
puglet
dont know what bovie is-sorry
4:07 am
rubyfoo
it is perfect weather here an I just picked a couple of lbs of tomatoes, ripe on the vine
4:07 am
rubyfoo
we always have two dogs because chows are so fragile
4:07 am
joso
big harry black dog, french hearding dog
4:08 am
puglet
the weather is making you perky then-lal and I got 2 window sills with tomatoes on them too
4:09 am
puglet
Oh Ive seen them on tv on the dog shows--sorry for your loss Joso. Are you planning on getting another
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I couldn't live here without dogs and the loss of each of them is another heartbreak.
4:10 am
puglet
all my dogs I got now are all rescue dogs
4:11 am
puglet
I know Ruby! thats the worse part of it -isnt it
4:12 am
joso
bouvie yes, was trying to find a picture of him
4:12 am
rubyfoo
but even though you ever forget the dead ones, the new ones help to fill the hole in your heart
4:13 am
joso
been debating weather to get another dog or not
4:14 am
rubyfoo
I always try to get another one right away, while I am still we**ing for the lost one
4:14 am
puglet
yes they do--I still at times have a memory of one gone once in a while. But there are so many that needs loving homes
4:15 am
puglet
If I had the means I would take in more. I cant go to the pound and look into those sad eyes-it just tears me up inside
4:16 am
rubyfoo
I think aboutmy Ruby every day, but Rufie has certainly "stepped up" and become a cuddler, happily for me
4:17 am
rubyfoo
I coudn't go to a pound as I would Wind up with 10 dogs!
4:18 am
puglet
same with me Ruby--------is that where you got your game name from
4:18 am
rubyfoo
yes, it's one of my nicknames. But you andI have the same first name, pug
4:19 am
puglet
oh thats nice
4:20 am
puglet
I had a brindle pit named Anchor and I got his ashes to be burried with me. I raised him from a wee thing due to his mother couldnt nurse her litter(he was gave to me by a friend)
4:21 am
rubyfoo
alll of our chows (ecvept Rosie,the first one who died in Miami) are buried in the garden
4:22 am
puglet
we just had a bond that I still feel even though its been several years since his passing
4:23 am
rubyfoo
I feel that way about Ruby, more than any of the others. Sometimes I would fall asleep while petting her at night with my head on her flank
4:23 am
puglet
I got a little grave site at our campgrounds near the river for our beloved pets. My hubby fixed a angle on a cement stand to over look them
4:25 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, Raffie is howling,must go
4:26 am
puglet
ruby how did you come to owning chow chow
4:26 am
puglet
bye ruby have a wonderful day
4:27 am
rubyfoo
false alarm
4:27 am
rubyfoo
It sounded like "they" were coming over the wall! lol
4:28 am
puglet
glad everything is okay
4:28 am
rubyfoo
One day, while husband and I were "going together" dogs came up in the conversation and each of us said "Oh, chows are my favorites." So, AFTER i GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL FROM MY c SURGERY, THERE WAS rOSIE, WAITING FOR ME
4:29 am
rubyfoo
whoops, bad pinkie strikes again!
4:29 am
puglet
ahh that was nice--a gift from your hubby
4:29 am
rubyfoo
yes, and she took care of me when I was recovering
4:30 am
puglet
was that your first dog
4:30 am
rubyfoo
yes, and I was 47!
4:30 am
puglet
One thing that worries me is leaving behind my dogs when its my time to go
4:31 am
rubyfoo
I think about that, too, but if my son wants to inherit the house,he'll also have to inherit whatever dogs come with it
4:31 am
puglet
wow--I have had dogs(plus other animals) from childhood, My dad was a dog lover too
4:31 am
rubyfoo
but you are still Young, pugs
4:32 am
puglet
I dont have any children to depend on for things like that
4:33 am
rubyfoo
I'm not sure I can depend on John, either
4:33 am
puglet
guess I will just have to leave it in Gods hands when that happens
4:34 am
puglet
do you have grandkids too Ruby
4:34 am
rubyfoo
no, his wife doesn't want children
4:34 am
rubyfoo
and it's too late now
4:35 am
puglet
and they dont like dogs either
4:35 am
puglet
does that sadden you
4:35 am
puglet
do you have sisters or brothers with kids
4:36 am
rubyfoo
of course, but since there's nothing I can do, I don't let it get me down
4:36 am
puglet
No theres not anything you can do--
4:37 am
rubyfoo
time for lunch, bye kids
4:37 am
rubyfoo
not a word and twice! duh
4:37 am
puglet

4:37 am
puglet

4:38 am
rubyfoo

4:38 am
joso

4:38 am
rubyfoo

4:39 am
joso
ah, shadow, yes
4:39 am
rubyfoo
My nephew's beloved dog was named Shadow
4:39 am
joso

4:40 am
puglet

4:41 am

Yuck, homework, mom!

Yeah, we go back late and then run late in June. :(
7:26 am

Local kids start Sept 4th, and private schools on the 9th
7:26 am
car.eeyore
I don't think it is the homework as much as getting up early.
7:26 am
MollyL
Funny you should say "late" Car. It used to be all the kids went back the day after Labor Day.
7:27 am
car.eeyore
I know, but not any more!

Easy word for Babblers. Give us an 8, please.
7:30 am
Scrabbler
How long is summer vacation for kids, Jen?
7:31 am
Jen34
we get two months, and then it's nine weeks on and two weeks off. As a teacher, I love it!
7:31 am
car.eeyore
Cool. How do the kids like it?
7:33 am
Jen34
it's actually good for them, in my opinion. They come back from every 2-week break pretty refreshed (as do I). And, there's an "intersession" option, where some of our kids who need extra help can come and get it during the first week of the 2-week break
7:35 am
Jen34
This is our second year trying out this new calendar -- I hope they keep it!
7:38 am

8:04 am
lynxxx
sounds exactly how it happens here too
8:06 am
lbdawger
it's been a weird summer here. we got a lot of rain in the late winter, "spring" and early summer and then we got HOT really fast and for quite a stretch. now it's fire season and we shouldn't be surprised that all that grass is prime fuel. not to mention the dead trees from beetle blight.

I only know that because I did a diorama of Italy in 7th grade. My geography knowledge is limited.
8:44 am
hurshy
well, good job 7th grade
8:44 am

9:05 am
rururocks
i've learned a lot of good cooking tricks from ole Jacques
9:05 am
MollyL
First of all, Jacques is still with us. And yes, he has a daughter. And a granddaughter too, I think.
9:06 am
hurshy
i don't see why julia child would mind pepin not counting if it is someone's name. proper nouns aren't supposed to count.
9:06 am
rururocks
I didn't say he died?
9:06 am
hurshy
but you said "he had..."
9:07 am
hurshy
past tense can make it sound like you think the person is dead
9:09 am
hurshy
even though if you say, "mary had her baby yesterday" clearly nobody thinks you think mary died.
9:09 am
hurshy
having a baby is a grey area linguistically
9:10 am
rururocks
except for Paul Anka
9:10 am
hurshy
hence the confusion
9:10 am
hurshy
paul anka the dog or paul anka the person?
9:10 am
rururocks
the singer
9:10 am
MollyL
Paul Anka the dog??
9:11 am

9:11 am

9:11 am
magazinemom
Ha! Cute
9:11 am
MollyL
Ugh, Having My Baby reminds me of driver's ed.
9:12 am
hurshy
she even had this funny dream where paul anka the person was in it (he guest appeared) and the universe exploded in a flash of light from the meeting of the two paul ankas
9:12 am
rururocks
:D what?
9:13 am
rururocks
how does it remind you of Driver's Ed?
9:13 am
MollyL
Because it was all over the radio then and the instructor would not let us change the station.
9:14 am
hurshy
too dangerous to change the station while learning to drive?
9:14 am
MollyL
No, he actually liked the song.
9:14 am
magazinemom
ohmy!
9:14 am

9:20 am
rururocks
(move over Dr. Oz)
9:20 am
MollyL
At least you didn't ask if it was otis media.
9:21 am
rururocks
Otis Media?
9:21 am
hurshy
lol, yeah, well, when you've had no medical training, you don't tend to think in medical terms, even if you do know them.
9:21 am
MollyL
Otitis media the medical term for ear infection
9:22 am
MollyL
Sounds like a grunge band
9:22 am
rururocks

The only thing that makes my coffee when I am stirring is the auto set on the coffee maker. : D
9:51 am
joshuavorbis
making the stumbling around before anybody else wakes up coffee is one of the forgotten burdens that we men undertake in relationships
9:52 am
MollyL
Really? I have yet to meet anyone from your tribe.
9:53 am

i'm always up before my husband but it's a moot point because coffee isn't allowed in my house.

for me it is evening, it is about a quarter past 9 here. Had a busy day, and now relaxing with babble.
2:19 pm
stidgmere
Today is quiet for me. My dog, Murphy (the icon picture) had poked his eye while on a walk this morning so I took him to the vet. Nothing majorly wrong that money and eye drops won't fix. He is back home sleeping.
2:20 pm
sprite
ah I am glad he will be ok. Quite a scare.
2:21 pm
stidgmere
When his eye wouldn't open and his other eye was squinting in sympathy, I knew something was not right (I'm quick that way.)
2:23 pm

hopng this grid is not too tricky. much to do, very stressed out -not enough time
10:02 pm
penquis
i didn't think it was too bad....but there are some weird words
10:02 pm
Dorens
i guess there always are!
10:02 pm
Bugsaw
what is causing the stress Dorens? Can we help?
10:04 pm
Minveryork
Hello Dorens!Sorry to hear you are stressed. Come & relax!
10:05 pm
Bugsaw
Hi Minveryork! I hardly ever see you here any more.
10:06 pm
Dorens
hah! My IPad - 16 months old with no warranty died.. had to be replaced with a refurbished one with only a 90 day warranty for $250. My 3 /12 y old refrigerator died... had to pay a repairman $116 to find out that I need a very expensive repair (no warranty of course) and should replace the frigerator. Cell phone died..... Been dogsitting a 13 year old dog who misses his home and family and is using my entire house as his potty... shall i go on?
10:07 pm
Bugsaw
Oh my goodness! What a list of grief! I am sorry
10:08 pm
Dorens
however, I am returning the dog tomorrow, and will get to spend time with the grandkids.... fair trade off i guess
10:21 pm
stidmama
(((doren))) (((bugs))) (((Min))) ((all))
10:22 pm
Dorens
hey stid... nice news about this job.. keeping all fingers and toes crossed. and parttime would really be best at this point, no?
10:23 pm
stidmama
interview only... but hopeful!
10:25 pm
Dorens
interview is step one....
10:26 pm
stidmama
yes, and either way it will be good practice, or my foot in the door. It's a one-year position, but hopeful I can "rock" the interview AND the job! :-D
10:28 pm
stidmama
when do you return? after labor day?
10:28 pm
stidmama
If I get this job, I will have less than a week to prepare...
10:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
10:30 pm
Minveryork
Hello Bugsaw!How are you?I've been here almost every day
10:30 pm
stidmama
hey min!
10:30 pm
stidmama
any word on which school yet?
10:32 pm
Minveryork
I just found out on Wednesday. They gave me a choice of 6 positions:two full-time and 4 splits. I chose a split position.
10:32 pm
Minveryork
I have never been split so before, so something new for me
10:32 pm
penquis
split between what and what?
10:32 pm
stidmama
interesting! Good for you.
10:32 pm
stidmama
split in the same school I hope?
10:33 pm
stidmama
the job I am interviewing for is part language arts and part reading specialist. Should be an interesting interview, at least
10:34 pm
penquis
well at least those two subjects are related...
10:34 pm
Dorens
what grade level?
10:35 pm
stidmama
middle school for me (of course!)
10:35 pm
Dorens
of course! just don't always see reading specialist at that level
10:35 pm
Minveryork
No, I have travel between 2 different schools. Principals decide how they will split me. May be three days in one school & 2 days in another school or 2 1/2 days at each school or half a day in each school every day,confusing!
10:36 pm
stidmama
:-) no, far less often than is needed, I suspect.
10:36 pm
Minveryork
When is your interview stidmama! Wishing you all the luck!
10:37 pm
penquis
i always liked working in more than one school....easier to avoid the school politics....and i enjoyed getting up and leaving to go somewhere else...
10:37 pm
stidmama
Tuesday, Min. Have to create a minilesson (I think I will recycle one I have actually used).
10:38 pm
Minveryork
There are both advantages & disadvantages to being in a split position. The advantage is I get 30min for travel, a 30 minute prep and an hour lunch. The disadvantage is that is 2 whole hours of the day of non-teaching time
10:38 pm
penquis
good luck with your interview, stid...
10:39 pm
Dorens
I was split between two schools a few years ago, min. I alternated days... M,W at one school. T, Th at the other and then alternated fridays. A bit complicated, bt it worked
10:39 pm
stidmama
Thanks penquis.
10:40 pm
penquis
i don't miss my 20 min lunches... ;o)
10:41 pm
stidmama
Depending on the day, it might be nice to have a little bit of transition time? :-D
10:42 pm
penquis
sometimes my best thinking was in the car between schools...
10:43 pm
Minveryork
The schools are only 11 min apart, not much time to think.
10:43 pm
penquis
well there is that one hour lunch and that 30 min prep period... ;o)
10:44 pm
Minveryork
That's true!
10:47 pm
penquis
well i am off to bed....g'nite all...
