2:57 am

gapeach

Prayers are being answered, sprite.

2:57 am

puglet

thats good news Sprite. Looks like everyone is on the mend for a change

2:58 am

sprite

so very very true, peach. I thank you all and Him up there from the bottom of my heart.

3:00 am

gapeach

We are just the vehicle thru which HE works. It is always a pleasure to hear good things.

3:01 am

sprite

one of my favorite quotes from God is: "God has no hands but ours." Touched me deeply when I first heard it and I still get goosebumps when I think of it.

3:02 am

gapeach

That is so true.

3:03 am

grannyrose

so true sprite. sometimes it is hard to remember that God is acting through us. particularly when we are angry, or hurt and want to lash out in retaliation.

3:03 am

puglet

that reminds me,Sprite have you read the story of God under the bed and the tatoo homeless man on DS, dont give up

3:04 am

sprite

no, not yet, will check them out later! Thanks for the heads-up.

3:04 am

puglet

they made me cry

3:05 am

sprite

indeed, rose, exactly.

3:05 am

sprite

*hugs pug* Good tears, I hope.

3:06 am

puglet

you know how we feel with the burdens of life at times--I think we get a tiny taste of what Jesus took to the cross..He had the whole world"s burdons

3:07 am

sprite

takes quite a guy to carry all that, pug. And remember that Jesus said that all he did, we would do, and more.

3:07 am

ursh

hello all - you were talking earlier about groovy kiwi and i have not seen babble rabble for ages - is he still playing ??

3:07 am

sprite

3:08 am

sprite

sorry, that is o-o without a slash.

3:08 am

grannyrose

when we are dealing with younger generations, it is difficult to remember that they are God's children as well. and our actions and words must come from God. my gosh, i have lost count the number of times when i have had to remind myself, i am to follow God's commands on parenting...lol

3:22 am

pink17

3:23 am

joso

3:28 am

grannyrose

and then there are crunchy sugar-coated peanuts....omg....it would blow your mind...not to mention the ta5-buds.

3:29 am

sprite

not my thing, to be honest.

3:29 am

joso

I like tha caramel corns, but not the powdered sugar

3:29 am

puglet

or chocolate covered peanuts--mmm

3:29 am

sprite

but we finally got our own milka chocolate with oreo cookies... and that is a blast!

3:29 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, oh...pugs...

3:29 am

sprite

oh pug, yes :)

3:29 am

puglet

I havent tried the powered sugar

3:30 am

grannyrose

can anyone else see my waist line expanding?

3:30 am

sprite

just from reading the chog. Mine as well, rose.

3:30 am

puglet

how about all of ours expanding-lol

3:32 am

joso

All this as I sit here being a good boy with carrot celery sticks for a snack instead if nuking up some popcorn

3:32 am

grannyrose

poor joso...*mind picture of him splashing up and down the pool* to no avail...

3:32 am

sprite

3:33 am

puglet

I got coffee( and black at that)

3:33 am

joso

I have popcorn just one floor away

3:33 am

3:34 am

grannyrose

3:35 am

joso

your execise regiem sounds much more interesting than mine

3:35 am

puglet

3:35 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:35 am

sprite

hiya ruby *hug* :)

3:36 am

sprite

pug, I like my special coffee... wiener melange. But otherwise, I don't drink coffee very often.

3:36 am

pink17

hi ruby welcome to snack hour

3:36 am

puglet

Hey Mrs Ruby! hugs

3:36 am

joso

coffee is a funny thing for me, love the aroma, can't stand the taste

3:36 am

joso

hi ruby

3:37 am

puglet

I like tea too but not as well as my coffee

3:37 am

joso

Ruby, the french sugared popcorn, is it powdered sugar of caramel that they use?

3:37 am

rubyfoo

already had two big cups of expresso with lots of boiled milk. How disgusting is that?

3:38 am

rubyfoo

They just use sugar, caramel, I would like.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

As for all those peanut things, I've just developed a (severe) peanut allergy in the last two uyears! Very weird at my age

3:38 am

sprite

not at all, ruby, sounds pretty normal. In Dutch that would be called a 'coffee all wrong' (koffie verkeerd) and lots and lots of people here like it that way.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

I used to love crackjacks

3:39 am

joso

thats what i assumed, seems well agreed here that all like caramel corn

3:40 am

puglet

I dont care for cream or sugar in my coffee but I do like it in my teas

3:40 am

grannyrose

3:40 am

grannyrose

3:41 am

grannyrose

pugs, opposite to me

3:41 am

joso

black tea for me

3:42 am

ChrissieDee

I like my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, it makes,them taste quite funny but it keeps them on my knife

3:42 am

puglet

My sister loves teas, I bet shes got 25 different kinds

3:42 am

ChrissieDee

Fave childhood rhyme

3:42 am

sprite

roflollll Chrissie! I like that!

3:42 am

grannyrose

joso, almost black for me, just wave the milk over the cup/mug

3:42 am

joso

yeach

3:42 am

rubyfoo

hahah chrissie, picturing eating peas on a knife!

3:43 am

grannyrose

lol, chrissie...my GRANDFATHER used to quote that...

3:43 am

ChrissieDee

A A Milne I think

3:43 am

sprite

kind of like the dutch joke: Why are you eating your soup with your knife? Cause my fork is leaky.

3:43 am

ChrissieDee

lol sprite

3:45 am

ChrissieDee

Now you see why most of o-o's quotes go over my head :)

4:29 am

4:30 am

wb pug, and it is GOOD news :)

4:30 am

joso

definetly good news pug

4:31 am

puglet

Sprite is it common that you have to spend the whole day when you go to the clinic--I was going to ask you this before

4:31 am

puglet

thanks you guys

4:33 am

sprite

I have been in a therapy group for over a year now, pug, that works a full day in the week. And from Sep 30 on, I will do a full day of therapy a week as well, on Mondays. It is not common, most therapies are like 45 minutes per session, once a week.

4:33 am

grannyrose

love to have your company pugs...* huge grin *

4:35 am

puglet

I was just wondering because all the ones you go to are all dayers

4:35 am

puglet

thank you Rose as I enjoy all of you guys

4:36 am

sprite

yes... true. Guess I am a tough cookie to crack. Did years and years of the normal kind of therapy as well. It is a long haul.

4:36 am

puglet

I was thinking afters several hours of drilling they would get you to crack--lol

4:37 am

puglet

How did you come upon this

4:37 am

sprite

hehehe indeed. I learned so much in this last year of therapy.

4:38 am

puglet

how long do you have to go to the monday ones now

4:38 am

sprite

my psychiatrist suggested it. It is a group run by her colleague, whom I knew as well. And my psych is supervising the whole thing.

4:39 am

sprite

as for the clinic I will be going to for the eating disorder, that was suggested to me by my doctor and after I checked it out, I asked my psychiatrist about it and she had good experiences with them.

4:39 am

puglet

is everyone in the group have the same problems as what you have

4:40 am

sprite

Don't know how long to the Monday one, we will see.

4:40 am

sprite

not the Friday group, pug, we all have different issues. But the Monday group will be all people with obesitas and eating disorders.

4:41 am

puglet

do YOU think you are ready to leave the friday group

4:42 am

sprite

yes. I would have to stop anyway, because the insurance only will pay for one year. But I am ready. Learned what I could there. Now I am ready for a new challenge.

4:44 am

puglet

I hope this monday group helps you then and lets you find the answers you are seaking

4:44 am

sprite

I hope so too, pug. Am pretty positive about it. They told me I was exactly in the right place, after hearing my story. That gives me confidence.

4:45 am

puglet

how many are in your group there

4:45 am

sprite

a maximum of 8, but probably 6.

4:46 am

puglet

all women?

4:46 am

sprite

I wouldn't have been able to start in this group if I hadn't had the experience of last year's group therapy. So it all fits together somehow.

4:46 am

sprite

I don't know, pug. Not necessarily.

4:48 am

puglet

Maybe you can make a friend there .Someone that you can each hold hands through the process

4:49 am

sprite

it is possible. We will see :) For starters I will keep a low profile and watch a lot. I need time to learn to trust others, so I will take that time to get settled.

4:50 am

puglet

I understand that totally---plus you get to travel too and that in its self is fun too

4:51 am

puglet

by bike and bus and train!

4:51 am

sprite

lol... it is taxing, but yes, in a way it is fun too. I am experiencing a sense of freedom that I haven't felt in ages.

4:51 am

joso

while I can see holding back until you are confident of the group, it suprises me a bit to hear you say that, you are so open here sprite.

4:51 am

puglet

take the time to enjoy!

4:52 am

sprite

thanks joso, that is so good to hear. Yes, I appear very open. For me it is easier to trust people onlline than IRL, to be honest. But you guys have become my friends and I trust you a LOT.

4:52 am

puglet

its easier for me here cause you are not looking into anyones eyes

4:53 am

sprite

I understand, pug

4:54 am

puglet

you know Sprite I was on DS and looking at some of the different groups and there is one for internet addictions---lol--I didnt explore it though

4:54 am

joso

for the most part babble is the most kind enviroment I know

4:55 am

puglet

same here for me too Joso

4:55 am

sprite

lol pug, you know someone is cured when they no longer post there ;)

4:55 am

sprite

I agree, joso. A very special community. Lots of people who truly care.

4:55 am

joso

hehehehehehe

4:56 am

puglet

Ive been at other sites and the people can be very rude and uncouth

4:58 am

sprite

we have had a few people here who enjoyed unpleasant arguments and fights, but somehow they seem to fade away pretty soon. Babble as a whole is very kind and caring.

4:58 am

puglet

Joso you might like the site Daily Strength...it has a group for anything from A-Z---the dont give up group is very uplifting

4:58 am

sprite

it is a good one, isn't it pug? I like that group best of all.

4:59 am

puglet

I do too--and if not for you I wouldnt had known about it

4:59 am

grannyrose

as you say, sprite, on the whole kind and caring. but some of us have been deeply hurt and are still very angry by other babblers.

4:59 am

sprite

just coincidence... or Someone pointing me the right way, grin. Glad to share. Without you, I wouldn't even have known about DS!

5:02 am

joso

I've alway socilized best over a game, gives a defaulf subject to chat about

5:02 am

sprite

very true, rose. Especially the whole JC/Nancyboy stuff has hurt people deeply. It is tough to be conned and lied to about such important things.

5:02 am

sprite

never thought about that, but it is true, joso.

5:03 am

joso

what was the whole jc/nancyboy thing?

5:03 am

ivesy3

hate to interrupt , but is the site just called daily strentgh?

5:03 am

sprite

someone pretending several persons, one famous, one who supposedly got ill and died. Lots of drama. And it was all a fake.

5:04 am

sprite

hi ivesy, love it that you join us! The link is:
http://www.dailystrength.org/

5:05 am

ivesy3

ty . i am going to take a look. sounds like something i could use..

5:05 am

grannyrose

joso, you didn't miss much, except a lot of angst.

5:05 am

sprite

hope to see you there then as well, ivesy. If you want to befriend me, my handle there is spritelet.

5:06 am

joso

I know people like that exist, can't figure out the mind that gets pleasure that way

5:06 am

sprite

and ivesy... I don't know anything about your problems, but here's a *hug* to give you a little bit of support.

5:07 am

puglet

same from me too ivesy

5:07 am

sprite

joso, I couldn't agree more. Must be a pretty pathetic and/or sick mindset that can think up stuff like that. The not-existing Nancyboy was mourned so much by us babblers. And it was not real. That hurts.

5:07 am

ivesy3

ty sprite! well son is a recovering drug addict.is doing well at this time. but its a struggle. and ty both. ! am waiting for email to complete registration.

5:08 am

joso

good luck ivesy, hope it's what you are looking for.

5:08 am

sprite

awesome, ivesy. It is a good place to be, also very friendly and supportive.
Quite a struggle, for you and your son... is he managing? And are you?

5:09 am

sprite

they have a group for parents of drugs addicts too.

5:09 am

ivesy3

he is doing very well. but have been here bfor, where he stays clean, then falls . have heard all the promises.. im afraid i have lost the faith to belive him, though i do try.

5:10 am

puglet

I think too that they have prof. there too, dont they sprite

5:10 am

sprite

yes, groups are monitored by professionals in that field, they are listed at the right of the page.

5:11 am

joso

what a nightmare ivesy

5:11 am

sprite

I can imagine, ivesy. It is hard to keep believing if your faith ahs been crushed so many times. If he weren't your boy, you would never even consider believing him again. But since he is... you try. *hugs* Good for him that he is doing well so far. One day at a time, right?

5:13 am

puglet

I know all too well those feelings ivesy. Go through the same thing with my Hubby only his drug is booze

5:13 am

ivesy3

i will be looking at the drug support group for sure!no one can really help so to speak, but sharing with parents of drug addicts takes away the feeling of being alone in the fight

5:13 am

ivesy3

isnt easy pug, is it?

5:13 am

puglet

and the dont give up would help you ivesy for yourself

5:14 am

sprite

so true, ivesy. And it will give you a place to vent your pain and frustration, and know that the people reading it will truly understand.

5:14 am

sprite

pug, such a tough struggle :( *hugs*

5:14 am

puglet

no its not ivesy, if it werent for the one above I would of thrown in the towel many many times

5:14 am

sprite

booze is an evil drug. One of the worst addictions to overcome, or so they say.

5:16 am

puglet

its not just the booze but what all goes with it--the meanness and the money to pay lawyers and the list goes on and on

5:16 am

grannyrose

loving all of you. ivesy, hang in there, hun, you will make it through this, and so will your son.

5:16 am

sprite

yes... it influences every part of your life.

5:16 am

sprite

loving you right back, rose. You know you are such an inspiration and support to us all, don't you?

5:16 am

puglet

Love to you too Rose

5:18 am

puglet

Ivesy, one important thing is not to let his addiction bring you down into that hell. And its easy to get caught up in that web

5:18 am

ivesy3

afraid my son has pretty much wiped me out, mentally , physiclaly and finance. always think this one time will make him stop.. finally learned that nothing makes them stop except themselves.

5:19 am

sprite

does he live with you, ivesy?

5:19 am

ivesy3

as my cousin says. let go and let god.. and god cant help if i am staning in his way lol

5:19 am

hi glant

5:21 am

sprite

hiya Glant *hugs*

5:21 am

grannyrose

g'day glant

5:21 am

sprite

ivesy, I am glad he is living on his own. At least there is a door you can close and lock if you need some space for yourself.

5:22 am

Glantarell

ivesy - my cousin's daughter was a drug addict - they were told that she had to hit rock bottom before there was any chance of recovery - and that while they were 'helpinmg' her, they were inadvertently enabling her addiction. they eventually stopped helping her, she hit rock bottom, then they all worked to help and she is completely clean and has been for some years

5:22 am

puglet

thats great Giant

5:23 am

sprite

I have heard the same kind of story, Glant. Am so glad for your cousin and her daughter.

5:23 am

Glantarell

not that great - sadly the years of addiction have damaged her body, and she is terminally ill, - she will elave a ten yhear old boy to be cared for by others - she is only in her late 30s

5:23 am

ivesy3

oh i know i enabled him. because i always thought if i gave him things it would make him happy and he wouldnt use. took me a long time , and almost having a nervouse breakdown to smarten up. and that is a success story glant!! always happy to hear about an addict gone clean

5:24 am

sprite

omg Glant... so sorry. I guess it is slightly less awful than her dying an addict, but not by much. So sorry.

5:24 am

puglet

tough-love is hard to put to someone you love

5:25 am

Glantarell

it is very hard to do the tough love thing

5:25 am

sprite

ivesy, mothers do. I hope you don't blame yourself. To love them enough to hurt them is something so incredibly tough to learn.

5:25 am

puglet

ahh so sorry Giant--how sad--hugs

5:26 am

Glantarell

she was told about 4 years ago that there had been too much damage to her body to live long ar experience good health. Sadly, her mother died of lung cancer in January, and we doubt she will see the year out herself. Drugs are terrible thnings, and the people who puch them are worse.

5:26 am

Glantarell

*push

5:27 am

ivesy3

yes glant.. they dont realize what the drugs do . so sorry to hear that. to this day i live with the fear that my son will overdose and i will find him dead. its never goes away. wow. i havent gotten all this out in so long !! ty

5:28 am

puglet

we are here for you ivesy anytime you need to vent

5:28 am

Glantarell

I am a great ebliever in the legalisation and state control of drugs. At least the drugs would be pure and people wouldn;t turn to crime to finance their habits, and maybe young ones would be less interested in trying things out. Also, there'd be no money to be made by criminasl

5:28 am

sprite

horrible, Glant. I can't do anything but pray for you all and send you lots of hugs. Yes, drugs pushers should be whipped, salted and shot.

5:28 am

sprite

ivesy, so glad you told us. Please vent whenever you need to, we will be here.

5:28 am

ivesy3

i know. and i thank all of you.

5:29 am

Glantarell

sadly, some of the drug pushers are addicts who can only finance their own addictions by selling to others - state drug provision would stop thta too

5:30 am

sprite

Glant, we have that here for soft drugs and it works. But a lot of pressure from other european countries to make soft drugs illegal again, alas. They think it promotes use. But I think it takes away a lot of the criminality and risk.

5:30 am

puglet

so much evil is done in this world for a purse of money

5:30 am

sprite

indeed, Glant. That is a sad thing.

5:30 am

I also think many addicts - whatever their addiction - suffer from low self esteem. If we changed the education system to make life skills compulsory - especially parenting - we could learn to raise children with hih self esteem, who may not fall into addiction. Money manageent would be good, too!

5:38 am

Glantarell

and now that I have killed the chog, I'll shut up :-)

5:38 am

sprite

lol please don't, Glant, the chog will repair itself soon enough.

5:39 am

Glantarell

:-) hoping everybody has just gine quiet because they are reading about portuguese drug policies

5:39 am

sprite

ohhhh I SOOO agree! Life skills should be #1 in each and every school. So crazy to learn people how to read maps but not to read people. Etc.

5:40 am

sprite

lol, probably!

5:40 am

Glantarell

if we are confident and believe in ourselves, we can learn anything we want to

5:40 am

i just keep quiet as I have no experiance to contribute, fortunately.

5:40 am

I had to go get more coffee so I can exercise running to the BR every 10 seconds and had to put some socks on my cold feet

5:40 am

it's weird, isn't it? click over to 9pm and my inner spring goes twang...lol

5:43 am

I like to read your input, Glant. And feel free to rant whenever you need.

5:44 am

sprite

nah, never, pug. You just need your friends.

5:44 am

Glantarell

I think I am a borderline addictive personality. I can live without alcohol for months, but if it is in the hosue, I have to drink it. The concept of a wine cellar is fine in the abstrac, but if I had one it would be empty before long!

5:44 am

sprite

my husband is the same, Glant.

5:44 am

Glantarell

and I am definitely an internet addict LOl p b ut that's because that's where all my fiends are!

5:44 am

grannyrose

i don't, sprite. i would love to be able to stay awake until late...my mother always said i was half aborigine...fill my tummy, and i lie down and sleep like the dead.

5:45 am

joso

long past bedtime for me, g'nite all

5:45 am

I know that I shouldn;t buy alcohol, but sometimes I can't resist

I don;t know why people cricicise - it's not compulsory to read the chog

5:50 am

ruby, sweetheart, I didn't mean to attack you for venting, I was just saying that there is no need for calling names... keep the argument about what people DO and not about what people ARE, and things won't get so heated and unproductive.

hehehe, our ruby to the rescue. But I wasn't feeling slighted by o-o. I think we all have a right to speak our minds. I can imagine someone reading chog in the hope for some lifeline or support or distraction they can't bring themselves to ask for. And I can imagine some topics hitting someone on a sore spot as well.

5:54 am

ah, thanks jmc, when I clicked on the word, didn't have a meaning

9:56 am

It could also be a variant spelling of a word that ends izo that means a person of mixed race. Who knows?

since there were two Es on the row and two Es on the row it was the only way i could "single" it out as it were. . .

ChrissieDee

A woman said to her husband " go to the shop and get me a pint of milk, if they have avocados get me six"

10:07 am

ChrissieDee

He came back with six pints of milk

10:07 am

welki

*lol* chrissie - i have one of those :)

10:07 am

well some of us are literal. . . :-)

understandable, Chrissie

But he only did what he was told

i wouldn't do it but I would clarify in advance. . .

Nef

Good Morning Everyone. How are you all today?

10:08 am

welki

hi, nef

10:08 am

jmcnrick

my favorite story for my hubby to tell about my boy was that we were somewhere talking to people and my boy was kicking my ankle to get my attention. . .

10:09 am

jmcnrick

hi nef!

10:09 am

jmcnrick

so hubby said: don't kick your mother on that ankle so the boy. .. .

10:09 am

Nef

Hi welki and jmc! :-)

10:09 am

jmcnrick

went to the other side and kicked my other ankle. . . we were both so proud of him! haha

10:09 am

flosey

great thanks Nef, was very relieved that we would not be selling coffee in the Market this morning due to inclement weather

10:10 am

ChrissieDee

Lol, is that a true story jmc?

10:10 am

welki

I like your boy :)

10:10 am

Nef

I have 2 kids like that, jmc. Very literal...

10:10 am

jmcnrick

yes it is a true story. . .

10:11 am

Nef

flosey, you sell coffee?

10:11 am

jmcnrick

my hubby should have be more precise in his direction! haha

10:12 am

flosey

as volunteer Neff, it's brought in from an island in Nicaragua - fair trade and our people go down to make sure the workers are well paid and looked after - they also have a program to get young boys off the streets (and drugs)

10:13 am

jmcnrick

good for you flosey!

10:13 am

ChrissieDee

Worthy cause flosey

10:14 am

Nef

sounds like a worthwhile cause, flossy. But I can understand not wanting to do it in bad weather. (I really don't care to be wet and cold myself)

10:14 am

jmcnrick

10:14 am

Good day to all.

I wish there was more fair trade like that in the world.

Hi Scrabs

10:14 am

hi scrabs

10:15 am

Scrabbler

It's going to rain all day so I have no excuse to not declutter/clean except...a huge Babble grid!

10:17 am

bichon

Woot a biggie!

10:18 am

Scrabbler

Woof woof, Bichon.

10:18 am

Nef

YAY for the large grid, Scrabs! I appreciate distractions like that

10:18 am

Scrabbler

But I do need to declutter!

10:18 am

bichon

That's just what they're doing now Scrabs.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Woof, woof, Marco & Polo!

10:19 am

bichon

I wish my hbby would get that idea Scrabs

10:19 am

Anniebrook

I just decluttered a shelf in my linen closet..many a sheet and pillowcase will be gone

10:20 am

Anniebrook

and I feel lighter

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Barking or decluttering, Bichon?

10:20 am

bichon

Barking, some other dogs walked by our house. Now they're going back to sleep

10:21 am

Nef

There's a bunch of charities that do curb-side pick up here and every week one or another calls; so I always say yes I have something and I've been slowly decluttering for over a year now.

10:22 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Nef. On Craiglist you can list "curb alert" too.

10:23 am

bichon

Our garage is wall-to-wall junk and he'd better get it out before the weather gets cold and we can park the cars inside overnight

10:23 am

Anniebrook

I didn't see the volcano :(

10:23 am

Nef

I didn't know that, Scrabs. I don't use Craigslist often; but I will keep that in mind now

10:24 am

Scrabbler

TY, Annie.

10:25 am

Nef

bichon, we have 2 basement windows that open into the garage (and half the garage is also taken up by a handicap ramp; but that's another story). Whenever we parked the car(s) in the garage it would set off the CO alarms; so we haven't used the garage for cars for years.

10:26 am

Scrabbler

So you have to shovel and scrape ice in the winter--tough work.

10:26 am

Nef

I'm going to replace the windows with the glass blocks "one of these days" but always end up spending the money on something else.

10:27 am

MollyL

This may be a dumb question, but why not just close the basement windows?

10:27 am

bichon

I will not scrape ice off the windshields in the AM

10:27 am

Scrabbler

Scraping ice can be very tough.

10:28 am

bichon

Actually the reason the garage is full of junk is that I cleaned this summer before we had company and put the junk from the house into the garage. I suppose those boxes will make a reappearance

10:29 am

Nef

Molly, they are closed and we've tried sealing them various ways in the past but now I had a handyman who showed us the sills are shot; so the only answer is pulling them out and redoing the whole problem

10:30 am

MollyL

Oh, I get it now, Nef. Seems like an odd structural design. Hope you can get it fixed soon. Seems a shame to have a garage you can't use.

10:30 am

Nef

I don't mind scraping the ice off the windshield that much; we have BIG ice scrapers that work quite well

10:31 am

MollyL

I covet one of those expensive cars with remote start up that will defrost while you finish your coffee.

10:32 am

bichon

Weather's getting bad here, but the real rain won't come til this evening. It's over Scrabs now

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Yep, it started raining in the night and will continue all day. Flash flood warnings til 3pm.

10:32 am

welki

here, unless you have a garage, you have to plug your cars in overnight so block heaters keep the oil fluid

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki--you are way north!

10:33 am

bichon

stats for bottom a pls

10:33 am

Nef

The garage was added on a few years after the house was built; so the windows have built-in window wells and permanent covers over them too. The one(beyond the kitchen side door) isn't even noticeable; but the front one partially blocks the walk-in garage door and is a pain

not only is the Black Studies (now called African American Studies) a small department, but it's pretty seriously integrated. Last night they awarded a scholarship to a black woman who is majoring in Irish Studies, and a white woman who is a student of the civil war.

Certain cultures have exhibited very anti-Irish sentiment. It could have been an interest in that.

All cultures may have their anti-sentiment. Ireland still has a portion of their country usurped by another. Makes it hard for the natives.

mom23, i would be totally lost living in a place without winter and without the beauty of apple blossoms dancing in the wind and the fall smell of the cider presses at work

2:43 pm

mom23

Wasn't sure I'd be happy making the move, but promised hubby I'd do it and give him 5 yrs before begging him to move me back. That was almost 4 yrs ago, and not seeing a move in my near future! Cider donuts, fresh (not past'zed) cider ... now I'm hungry!

2:44 pm

crosshair

then i better not tell you about the apple pound cake i am making tomorrow

2:45 pm

mom23

2:45 pm

MollyL

Mom, you are much better off in a place where nothing freezes and you don't have to wear a winter coat. You can buy Fall treats or make them. : )

2:48 pm

crosshair

2:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:48 pm

crosshair

2:49 pm

mom23

Everything's better with butter -- except bacon! Found that out quite by accident recently. Bacon has the ability to stand alone!

2:49 pm

bacon..the wonder food

2:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

free food = the best.kind. that is what i found today whilst running errands.

2:51 pm

MollyL

Good idea TO. That way people can find the recipe without digging through the archives.

2:51 pm

free is good.as long as it is not the "quick eat it before it expires" type of free

4:22 pm

Sounds good. I love birthday parties. : )

Spoon bread is like corn bread.

4:27 pm

ok, then I would like it

4:27 pm

MollyL

More pudding like though.

4:27 pm

periwinkle

mmm, maybe not

4:27 pm

MollyL

Or a souffle.

4:28 pm

Nef

sounds interesting; I'm Googling it now

4:28 pm

stidgmere

Kind of like a souffle but with cornmeal. It is very soft and your comparison with pudding, Molly, is apt.

4:28 pm

MollyL

I love it when I'm apt.

4:28 pm

stidgmere

My husband finds cornbread too dry for his tastes but spoon bread is his favorite.

4:29 pm

Nef

it looks good; I'll have to talk DH in to making some (HE is the baker in this house!)

4:30 pm

MollyL

Depending on how you make it, cornbread can be dry. My recipe is pretty moist though.

4:31 pm

stidgmere

My recipe is moist, too, Molly but oh well. What he can't pile enough butter on is too dry.

Found this: "the goat went "Maa! Maa!", or "naa, naa" something similar. This is distinct from the sheep on the previous page of the book, which of course says "Baa!".

8:00 pm

re banned books, I was thinking more of books banned by whole countries -- Lady Chatterly, etc.

8:01 pm

mab

i don't think that sort of thing happens any more.

8:02 pm

penquis

except in dictatorships....

8:02 pm

mab

like james's ulysses, or henry miller

8:02 pm

penquis

Dr. Zhivago was banned in Russia when it came out...

8:02 pm

mab

8:02 pm

jwr

genI, rather

8:02 pm

penquis

my russian friend was accused of having it....she had passed it on to someone else...

8:02 pm

rururocks

think the response went beyond "banned"

8:03 pm

penquis

i know that, jwr...but the people who ban books don't know the difference.....

8:03 pm

rururocks

8:03 pm

8:06 pm

orthodox and conservative

8:09 pm

stidmama

hey all (((Min))) I survived my second full week of school, the last two days voiceless... *wicked teacher grin* I love being able to teach even when I have no voice. I grab the kid closest to me, whisper the directions to that child and have them repeat after me. :-)

8:10 pm

mab

are you a full time teacher, stidmama?

8:10 pm

stidmama

so I am well past halfway, and need the A in the bottom row for NBT -- any help?

8:10 pm

stidmama

Full-year, .6 time this year, mab. LOVE it!

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Good for you on your first two weeks! I was out of work on Friday because of jury duty. Have to do it again on Monday

8:11 pm

mab

that's really wonderful; happy for you.

8:11 pm

penquis

at 4/5...at 5/12....at 6/21...

8:12 pm

stidmama

oof. jury duty? I dread things like that. I have to be out on Oct 2 for stupid fiddle-farty admin nonsense. But I had already planned a "reader's workshop" and library day for that day so the kids won't lose any ground. The subs in the school so far this year have been pretty anemic.

8:12 pm

stidmama

thanks penquis

8:12 pm

stidmama

got 'em!

8:12 pm

penquis

yw

8:14 pm

stidmama

thanks, mab -- I didn't want full-time work, this part-time is almost perfect because I have my evenings mostly free and I can get enough done during the week that I can take real time off for "life" on the weekends! WAY easier than when I did the long-term, full-time subbing last year.

8:14 pm

jwr

delightful talking to you all - I only get to use the computer at work at night (from 7pm to 7am) so rarely get an extended chat. Do lurk from time to time ... I have good peripheral vision. Best of communication (and joy of teaching) to you all.

8:14 pm

mab

sounds ideal. you worked so hard for this.

8:15 pm

stidmama

nice to "see" you jwr. Be well. :-)

8:15 pm

mab

well you are always welcome jwr

8:16 pm

Goodnight jwr! i will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

8:21 pm

mab

does anyone speak spanish? there is a word, wahida, or wahita.... can't find it googling and don't know what it means.

8:22 pm

stidmama

it's not a spanish word, mab

8:22 pm

stidmama

what is the context?

8:23 pm

mab

i hear something like that in latino songs. it may be a type of music, like son

8:23 pm

rururocks

I speak spanish.. I don't know wahita

8:25 pm

stidmama

what type of music? if it's hip hop or something modern like that it might be a nonsense word. But out of context it's hard to tell. It is a name of middle eastern origin, though.

8:26 pm

penquis

dictionary...Wahita is a beautiful, confident man/woman who loves the wilderness and loves to be with her family at all times. Wahita loves to help people and loves animals, especially turtles. Wahita has a strong future ahead of her with great hope and will run into a large sum of money in the future.

8:26 pm

mab

i must be hearing it wrong. it's latin american jazz/pop.

8:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

8:26 pm

penquis

urban dictionary....and this for wahida...
1. An extravagant name for a humble soul. True definition is "unique"

2. Someone who also loves Queen

8:27 pm

penquis

i know...weird...

8:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

!

8:27 pm

stidmama

hm. I don't speak urban... *wicked babble grin*

8:27 pm

mab

i am hearing it incorrectly.

8:28 pm

penquis

my town has 7500 people.....largest in the county...i don't speak urban either, lol....

8:28 pm

mab

i hope you don't speak rural at school, stid.

8:28 pm

stidmama

Juanita might sound like "wahita" if it were jumbled up in other sounds?

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:29 pm

Minveryork

Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:29 pm

stidmama

8:29 pm

stidmama

8:29 pm

mab

aha! juahita! music of cuba.

8:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

stidmama

8:30 pm

mab

by the way, hi temple. was in spanish muddle.

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

the radio station did not send over the canopy or the kit, even though I volunteered to get the kit. and it was pouring. we could have talked our way in, but if not then we would be in the pouring rain, the fourth person who was the kit person did not show and we could not raise her on the phone.

8:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

did not feel like fighting 9,-- cars in the rain and mud just to stand on the back.

8:32 pm

mab

8:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

:)

8:32 pm

mab

oh, outdoor concert?

8:32 pm

stidmama

8:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

in other words, we were to do PR for the radio station but had not the supplies.

8:33 pm

mab

oh, i see.

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

really. when i saw them two years ago i was middle of thrid row. anything less would be disappointing. ound out the kid who is the coordinator is moving on in a month, probably does not care.

8:34 pm

stidmama

oh, short-timer syndrome.

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

but the day was very good up till then and lad to be home now.

8:34 pm

8:35 pm

stidmama

Rain is definitely headed our way, the skies are glowering at me.

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:57 pm

it's the last six lines in a sonnet....the meaning of the word

9:58 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, pen

9:58 pm

RoundBarn

but that word--ses--is a musical group of so many people. Or any group of that number

9:59 pm

penquis

i don't think it's the same word....at least the dictionary doesn't think so....that word has an x in it....

9:59 pm

penquis

but perhaps they are interchangeable...

10:00 pm

RoundBarn

I thought ses was another number, like sex--guess you're right--I should know sonnets--what's the first eight called?

10:01 pm

penquis

i have no idea....

10:02 pm

RoundBarn

enable says octave. duh. Also the ses variety can be a variant if the sex--so it's both.
