1:28 am

VolleymomDee

very long here

1:28 am

cosdem

I felt so alone. especially so soon after flip with a huge grid :P

1:29 am

cosdem

I thught everyone was ignoring me so I went and entered words all by my lonesome ;)

1:29 am

flosey

oh cos, you weren't affected by the temper tantrum?

1:30 am

cosdem

I was for like 5 minutes.. wouldnt let me load expert so i closed it, reopened and it worked just fine.. took a lil longer for it to accept words but only like 3 seconds

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

kept getting server is throwing a temper tantrum messages

1:30 am

flosey

me too Dee

1:30 am

cosdem

the server has emotional issues tonight i guess

1:31 am

must be the moon.

1:31 am

lol... everyone needs a good temper tantrum every now and then

1:31 am

re 7 x 9

1:31 am

flosey

indeed, clears the air

1:32 am

cosdem

all my kids chose tonight to throw one. so im kinda crabby lol i sent them all to bed at 830 instead of 930

1:32 am

flosey

clears a room too

1:32 am

flosey

good for you cos, show them whose in control

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

good idea, cos... time outs are good, too

1:32 am

cosdem

time outs werent doing the trick tonight lol i tried quite a few times

1:33 am

cosdem

they were bawling in bed.. i was like sorry that won't work on me then i shut off the lights

1:33 am

cosdem

they fell asleep quickly after.. so i didnt feel TOO bad.. a lil bad yea but...

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

is it a full moon tonight?

1:34 am

cosdem

Yes it is. I think so. Looks full to me

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

everyone gets goofy on a full moon lol...

1:35 am

cosdem

just glad i dont see them again til tues. tomorrow and friday are in-service days :( but tomorrow is only half a day.. and im off on monday with pay for whatever holiday it is. MLK I think?

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

I think you are right

1:36 am

flosey

good to have a break like that too

1:36 am

cosdem

dont get me wrong. i adore my kids deeply and care for them but wow.. they have been awful after christmas break

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

takes awhile for everyone to get back into a routine; kids always test boundaries too, loving discipline is not a bad thing

1:37 am

cosdem

and it doesnt help we got 3 new kids ... 2 who dont speak any language at all and 1 who has behavior issues in the last week

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

how many kids are there?

1:38 am

cosdem

I have 8 kids.. I used to have 6.. lost 1, gained 3.

1:38 am

cosdem

ages 6-11

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

8 sounds like a lot... is that your maximum?

1:38 am

cosdem

lol no. our max. is 7

1:39 am

cosdem

but my boss' friend wanted to send her daughter to the dorms so he bended the rules for her

1:39 am

cosdem

<--NOT happy but hey what can I do?

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

crazy... those rules are set for a purpose

1:40 am

cosdem

what makes it worse is her mom works at the school too. so she can drive her back and forth every day... bend the rules for a homeless kid, yes. of course but not for a friend.

1:40 am

cosdem

and this is the kid who has behavior issues.

1:41 am

cosdem

NBT. :P

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

totally agree... tough to keep the kid on target

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

wtg

1:41 am

jbp

go cos, go!

1:42 am

cosdem

she bit the overnight staff last night. lol glad it wasn't me.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

how old is she... no 6 year old should be biting anyone

1:43 am

cosdem

shes in 2nd grade. so i think that makes her um. 8?

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

definitely not good

1:43 am

cosdem

the parents adopted her. now want to send her off to residential school despite they live less than a hour away and the mom works at the school. kinda annoys me.

1:44 am

flosey

what type of place is this, Cos?

1:44 am

flosey

are they kids with problems?

1:45 am

cosdem

residential school for deaf kids and blind kids.. its a great school. gives kids a chance to star on teams and clubs that they wouldnt get to in a mainstreamed school plus they are always around sign language

1:45 am

cosdem

its free too. state pays for it.

1:46 am

cosdem

room, board, education all free.. there are sports fees like every school but other than that... no cost to the families.

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like a great foundation for them; very unusual for state to pay for all of that

1:47 am

cosdem

No. A lot of states do. Indiana does. Indiana School for the Deaf is one of the best in the nation

1:47 am

cosdem

38 states do it actually. used to be 50.. then some closed down cause not enough kids...

1:47 am

rururocks

It is all the pot sales

1:48 am

cosdem

lol actually the pot money will be going to our school for sure. our budget for the next FY is quite bigger

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

I know about that one, now that you mention it, cos... have some friends who sent their daughter their. She did amazingly well there.

1:49 am

cosdem

Indiana and California have the best success rate. like 90% to go college and graduate.

1:49 am

rururocks

So will it be a permanent increase or a hemporary..one

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

this child did transition to college - great success story

1:50 am

cosdem

Colorado is considered a good school for a small school. ours is quite small compared to the others.. and lol ru.. we'll see what happens in 2016.

1:50 am

VolleymomDee

I have a nephew that should have been sent there, but wasn't :(

1:51 am

cosdem

aw thats great dee. one of our former students is now being heavily scouted for the pros in the NFL

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

al 7

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

wpw

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

oops wow

1:51 am

cosdem

a lot of district schools have great programs though dee and if he did go to a district school they would have gotten the services needed for him from the school.

1:53 am

VolleymomDee

His deafness was not discovered as soon as it should be... occurred later after scar tissue formed from many, many earaches. He had a speech issue as well... very sad story. He's in his 40's and really struggles... he needed help. His parents didn't pursue help, as they should... not sure why exactly.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

They did they best they could, I suppose. He was the 3rd of 4 kids. Times are much different now in dealing with disabilities.

1:55 am

cosdem

aww that is sad. im sorry to see that happen.. i see it a lot.

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

I bet you do.

1:56 am

cosdem

and whats sadder is they dont want help.

Hi Rose

2:51 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dearest pugs

2:52 am

Lizlin

Feeling like I'm running a marathon!

2:52 am

grannyrose

have been plagued with red boxes. at one time, just had to 'walk' away

2:53 am

grannyrose

ah, liz...you have so much more stamina than i...

2:53 am

Lizlin

So many red boxes - but I've not been here the whole time. Definitely a grid for leaving and coming back. Still have 148 left. sigh!

2:53 am

Lizlin

But I haven't just had surgery!

2:54 am

grannyrose

yeah, well there is that point...

2:54 am

Lizlin

Not that I'd know how it feels to run a marathon ...

2:54 am

Lizlin

Nor would I want to know ...

2:56 am

grannyrose

did you and pugs see? surgeon very happy with the surgery. no clunking, no clicking, knee stable, can bend to over 90 degrees, and can straight-leg lift foot 12" off floor. he called me a show off...lol

2:56 am

puglet

I have notice that when we have alot of trouble with babble that bad weather is about around the world

2:56 am

Lizlin

No I hadn't seen that Rose. I'm soooooooo happy for you. How about the pain?

2:56 am

puglet

oh thats wonderful Rose!

2:57 am

Lizlin

Pugs I'm a real masochist. I trying to do Crossy's Wild Turkey puzzle - almost 3 hours into it. Sooo difficult!

2:57 am

Lizlin

44 % complete!

2:58 am

puglet

I havent tackled that one--harder then the stream

2:58 am

grannyrose

liz, are referring to fang or my knee?

2:58 am

Lizlin

Very, very hard. Don't quite know why I started it!

2:58 am

Lizlin

LOL Rose but actually your knee!

2:59 am

Lizlin

Has Fang finished yet?

2:59 am

puglet

before long Rose, you will be able to jump up and click your h5 together--lol

2:59 am

Lizlin

Dancing Rose :)

2:59 am

grannyrose

liz, i have decided to maintain analgesia as is for at least another 2 weeks. it keeps me mobile.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Good decision - presume you know enough not to let it become addiction. I'm pretty ignorant about that so it might be a stupid comment.

3:01 am

grannyrose

liz, as far as we are concerned, yes. tonight, after dinner we will start packing up what is left. today we checked the video tapes..yes i said video tape...and dvds, and cds.

3:01 am

Lizlin

Soon you'll be able to relax :)

3:02 am

puglet

I think this is awful, but in a town in our state they were having a festivel and they had a bean supper to help raise money. Someone made cornbread and put meth in it. Alot of people got very sick(some almost lost their life). It took them awhile to find why so many got so sick

3:02 am

grannyrose

liz, not ignorant...but up to 12-14 weeks is not considered addictive. even so...i am very cautious.

3:02 am

Lizlin

That's truly awful, pugs. How sick is that person who made the bread.

3:03 am

puglet

I know! Nothing is safe any more it seems

3:03 am

grannyrose

how can you put meth. into cornbread? that is sick!!

3:03 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you are Rose; I know that you're aware of all side effects but my medical knowledge is general and sometimes from TV dramas - so how reliable is that?

3:04 am

puglet

I dont know Rose but she did(it was a older woman that done it)

3:04 am

sprite

good morning all

3:04 am

grannyrose

lolol, liz, dear. you and all my friends are so protective. i feel so loved.

3:04 am

Lizlin

Almost time for dinner - barramundi (a white fish, pugs) tonight. I'll definitely be back in a couple of hours. Hugs and so pleased with your news, Rose. Hi sprite - I'll be back later

3:05 am

puglet

Morning Sprite! :)

puglet

Iam getting there--lol--woke with a headache and a light s4 throat--but after pills and coffee things are improving

3:17 am

puglet

If I get over half way I will be pleased-----that Rose just drifts in and out

3:17 am

LOL--got your own little foot warmer there

4:13 am

sprite

hehehe indeed

4:16 am

puglet

my desk is right beside my bed and Annapooh would love to lay right in front of me--but since she has gotten full grown , her butt finds its way on top of the keyboard. So she lays on the bed as close as she can to me

4:16 am

sprite

4:19 am

puglet

I know Cos, I almost fainted from the shock of it.

1:11 pm

cosdem

augaste orange county or whatever it is called

1:11 pm

MollyL

Osage County

1:11 pm

Jillyjill

I loved her in Kramer vs Kramer and Sophies Choice

1:11 pm

cosdem

Thats the one :)

1:12 pm

cosdem

Jennifer Lawrence got an nom too.. very happy for her. lets hope she beats Julia again

1:12 pm

bichon

Not seen it. The only movies I've been to was Gravity, Hunger Games, and The Hobbit. Wonder why Hunger Games wasn't nominated for anything

1:12 pm

MollyL

I'm already sick of Jennifer Lawrence.

1:12 pm

cosdem

its not oscar material (HG)

1:12 pm

bichon

Good Jen Lawrence was nominated. She deserves it

1:13 pm

bichon

She's way overexposed.

1:13 pm

cosdem

saving mr. banks got very little noms, tom hanks and emma thompson were shut out

1:13 pm

MollyL

That's what I mean Bich. She's everywhere, all the time.

1:13 pm

bichon

Like the kardashians

1:14 pm

bichon

But she has talent

1:14 pm

Jillyjill

I have only heard good things about Saving Mr Banks

1:14 pm

cosdem

I like her a lot but yes she is overexposed.

1:14 pm

MollyL

Don't the Oscar people have a dislike of anything Disney?

1:14 pm

bichon

Just saw Frozen with my gandkids. It was so good.

1:15 pm

Jillyjill

Not enough sex or violence molly

1:15 pm

cosdem

recently yes it seems that way

1:15 pm

cosdem

frozen got a best animated pic nod

1:16 pm

cybernan

I think Merle Streep is one of the best actresses we have -- when one earns recognition one should get it, no matter how often! What would any employee think if he didn't get the bonus he had earned just because he had earned them more often than anyone else?

1:17 pm

bichon

And Claire Danes

1:17 pm

cosdem

Well Candice Bergen withdrew her name for consideration at the Emmys to give other actresses a chance to win -- to me that is class.

1:18 pm

MollyL

It's a shame that Tom Hanks was snubbed for both his films

1:18 pm

Jillyjill

Yep

1:18 pm

cosdem

Not saying Meryl is classless. I thikn she's great

1:18 pm

bichon

Any time Tom Hanks is snubbed is bad

1:18 pm

Jillyjill

I second that Molly!

1:18 pm

cosdem

Imust be the only person in the world who dislikes Tom.

1:18 pm

cybernan

and my doing so doesn't CB diminish the importance of the award?

1:19 pm

cosdem

"I only won because Candice refused to be considered" - Helen Hunt's brains daily. :)

1:21 pm

MollyL

I haven't heard anything good about American Hustle. Must just be the crowd I run with since it's nominated for everything.

1:21 pm

bichon

I probably wouldn't see that as it's a comedy

1:21 pm

cosdem

I hadn't heard of it til the golden globes.

1:22 pm

cybernan

bbl for the last 80 - been at this too long for my brain to keep working

1:22 pm

cosdem

its a comedy? ok it won't win best picture then :P

1:22 pm

cybernan

*mind you, that probably doesn't take much!

1:23 pm

I understand about the finances part, Trif. Hope you color turns out the way you want it too.

sorry, i missed o-o, hi

4:12 pm

crosshair

Oval mirror of the sea,
age-warped isle waved and cloudy,
each angle crystalline and salty.
my lens into reality.

Point of space just visible,
focus of beams ineffable,
switch of signals transmissible,
receiver of voices inaudible

At time's edge. No need have I to shout
in fear about this death of mine.
And any creature here is glad
to offer you a glass of wine.- Regina Derieva

Good evening to those who are uber hot Down Under

4:48 pm

crosshair

not that it ever gets that hot here, but in hotter weather our zoos make animal specific "popcicles for them . for example for a polar bear, they will use a 5 gallon plastic bucket and put fish or fruit or whatnot in it, top it up with water and freeze it till it is solid and give it to them on hot days. they love it!

4:48 pm

lynxxx

yes - quite a few in South Australia and Victoria. Been quite a bit of thunderstorms around (no rain)

No, Molly, it didn't work out at all. Sadly as I really liked the job. They let me go. Really too long of a story to get into on here, but let's say it was a personality issue and also not so great management.

5:34 pm

MollyL

Well then, you are better off not being there. Maybe you can find something closer to home.

That would be nice, that was the only draw back about the postion at least that's what I thought at first...
