hey ya saanichcat. are you good today?

2:37 am

saanichcat

oh yes, but fading fast here. How about your good self?

2:38 am

grannyrose

just sitting here on the group W bench....citing alice's restaurant.....

2:38 am

grannyrose

it would be very late for you? saanichcat?

2:38 am

saanichcat

sounds like a grannyrose thing to do!

2:39 am

saanichcat

It is just after 12:30 (night)

2:39 am

grannyrose

*giggle* have you ever heard alice's restaurant as recited by arlo guthrie?

2:39 am

saanichcat

are you getting everything you want?!

2:40 am

saanichcat

it's a classic

2:40 am

grannyrose

too late, dear. i have to be in bed early tonight. have to be up and out the door by 8:15 tomorrow morning. ugh!!

2:41 am

grannyrose

tomorrow, saanichcat, tomorrow all will be revealed.

2:41 am

saanichcat

good luck with that! and I'm off to bed, goodnight! Fun game

2:41 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams de4

2:47 am

gapeach

I'm back. Do you have tests tomorrow, Rose?

2:48 am

grannyrose

wb peach. tomorrow i start the first of 4 infusions of magnesium as part of my therapy for FM. that's in the morning

2:49 am

grannyrose

in the afternoon, the union rep and i are going to the meeting with my employer.

2:49 am

gapeach

I will say one for you, 'm dear.

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh, thanx so much. that means a lot to me. xoxox

2:51 am

grannyrose

did you see in chat yesterday about the pre-op ortho surgeon's report, the one that workcover sent me to?

2:52 am

gapeach

No, I missed it. Is in you profile?

2:54 am

grannyrose

not yet, but a good thought. in a nutshell, he said i was not to return to work for 6-9 months, and then at much reduced hours, non-weight bearing duties. workcover forced me back to work at 5 months, and expected me to work normal duties for 4 hours.

2:54 am

grannyrose

the insurers are in it up to their necks and they are sinking fast.

2:55 am

gapeach

Oh, that sounds good.....now they have to abide by his word. Good for you!

2:56 am

grannyrose

i now have 5 medical reports, all of which cite my FM. how can workcover say they have never heard of it? 4 of the reports are from THEIR doctors.

2:57 am

gapeach

That is so awful!

2:57 am

grannyrose

and my last IME( independent medical exam) says i have a permanent disability in the knee. but he says in his summary, that the compensible injury has run its course. and i'm going...huh???

2:59 am

grannyrose

if i have a permanent disability in the knee, then workcover need to keep on paying for my physio and hydro at least. i feel i am going backwards over the last 2 weeks. no physio, no hydro, no work...ugh

2:59 am

gapeach

Do you have legal representation?

3:00 am

grannyrose

you betcha! through my union...so there are no costs involved. my union picks up the bill.

3:00 am

gapeach

That is great.

3:11 am

sprite

good morning all :)
And wow rose, good stuff.

3:12 am

grannyrose

whoot, spritey!! xoxoxoxoxoxox

3:12 am

sprite

*hugs* my dear friend

3:14 am

grannyrose

my de4 friend, have you had an okay night?

3:14 am

sprite

rose, if I may make a suggestion: don't put your work info in your profile just yet. You want to have as few places where it is in writing as possible, until it has been presented to work.

3:15 am

grannyrose

i hear you de4....sage advice as always.

3:15 am

sprite

yeah, it was ok. Nothing too horrible. More or less as expected after the financial stuff. Which, I am proud to say, we managed to solve more or less, for now.

3:15 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, oh....I HEAR YOU!!!

3:16 am

sprite

:D

3:16 am

grannyrose

so glad re finances, darling. it is so depressing with everyone putting out their hands for your money. * sigh *

3:18 am

sprite

too true. And my finance phobia doesn't help either. Now, the only big thing that remains undone is the obligatory car check. So I hope we can do that next month, and that we won't get a fine for not doing it earlier.

3:18 am

grannyrose

i think i have been quite circumspect. i have never mentioned my employer or the hospital where i work.

3:19 am

sprite

no you haven't. But for determined assholes, it takes only a few clues to put things together. So... just be careful, ok?

3:20 am

grannyrose

yeah, i hear you....but i have never mentioned the name of the insurers involved, or the doctors involved. so, with my back to the wall, i am hoping i have it covered.

3:21 am

sprite

and tomorrow afternoon, things will be on the table, so that is soon.

3:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, i have tr5 so hard to be neutral about all this. including not being specific about names. *keeping in mind what you told me about another babbler*

3:24 am

sprite

yes honey. I don't mean to scare you. Just reminding you that some people are nasty enough to scan through all babble chogs to find sh*t. Don't worry, tomorrow afternoon it will all be behind you, it will be on the table and you can start watching them cover their skinny asses.

3:25 am

grannyrose

* hands over the huggies to management* ...lolol

3:25 am

sprite

*giggles* Exactly.

3:25 am

zoozzoom

Hello everyone :-) Sprite do you mean like an MOT for the car? And what do you mean by a fine?

3:26 am

grannyrose

morning, zooz. how are you this day?

3:26 am

sprite

hi zooz :) I don't know what a MOT is. Here, we are obligated to have our cars checked once a year, on prescribed points. If you don't, you get a fine, you have to pay money in punishment.

3:27 am

zoozzoom

I am well thank you, rose :-) Hope you are too!

3:28 am

grannyrose

good law, sprite, if you can afford it...over here there are too many cars on the roads which would fail a roadworthy check.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Yes it is the same for checks here once the car is over three years old they have to have safety checks called an MOT (Ministry Of Transport)

3:29 am

sprite

ah ok, zooz, yeah that is the same thing then. Here it is called APK.

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Not sure what happens if you do not get it done though.Here I am sure you get more than a fine.You would get points on your driving licence too or your car might be taken away.

3:30 am

grannyrose

ahhh, don just said it is because of the salt used on your roads every winter.

3:30 am

sprite

is it? Never knew that.

3:31 am

zoozzoom

They check things for tyre tread exhaust fume emissions wind screen wipers etc.

3:31 am

sprite

yeah, a whole list of points that have to pass.

3:31 am

grannyrose

well it sort of makes sense...salt is a corrosive

3:31 am

zoozzoom

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOT_test

3:32 am

zoozzoom

Just in case you wanted to bore yourself with the finer details..lol

3:32 am

sprite

they check for more than just salt damage though. Ah well, whatever the reason, it costs money we simply don't have atm.

3:33 am

zoozzoom

Anyway i am diving back into the grid. Carry on ladies :-)

3:33 am

sprite

have fun, de4 zooz

3:33 am

grannyrose

hey!! who are you saying is carrying on???

3:34 am

sprite

keep calm and carry on, isn't it?

3:35 am

gapeach

Sorry to interrupt, I need a clue for pr8-45 so badly, Thanks

3:35 am

3:38 am

grannyrose

*pokes sprite in the eye so she can't see*....lololol

3:38 am

sprite

well thanks rose, wouldn't have found those two without extra help

3:38 am

zoozzoom

Thanks for the PR8 & 9 Rose.

3:38 am

sprite

now I ask you, is that nice? All I get for my friendly thanks is a poke in the eye!

3:39 am

grannyrose

roflol. sooo hard....my head is almost on the keyboard...

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Bloody charming, Sprite. I wouldn't talk to her anymore.

3:40 am

grannyrose

oh, de4...why do i talk to you lot???? now i have a stitch from laughing.

3:40 am

sprite

let's face it though... it isn't humanly possible to talk any more to her... unless we meet in the flesh... next year :D

3:41 am

sprite

then we will talk even more!

3:41 am

gapeach

Thanks so much, rose.

3:42 am

grannyrose

oh, my darling sprite....don has been saving up sooo much...he almost has all needed to for our tr4.

3:42 am

sprite

hehehe, and peach is calm and to the point in all our madness.

3:42 am

zoozzoom

Yeah more like she could poke you in the eye for real..I would watch her if i was you.

3:42 am

sprite

*remembers to buy goggles*

3:42 am

grannyrose

HEY!!! zooz....who rattled your chain???

3:42 am

zoozzoom

lol

3:42 am

sprite

awesome, rose! He is wonderful.

3:43 am

grannyrose

*loves peach*....oh, and all of you, of course....xoxox

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Teehee! now now, Rose..come on deep breaths...now hold...count to three and slowly exhale.There feel better?

3:44 am

grannyrose

see!!! someone likes me....pfft. ;-P

3:44 am

alexislexi

3:45 am

sprite

3:45 am

gapeach

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Thanks, Peach, that greyed out the D tile in the top left corner. embarrassed to say I missed that DA 4/10 until you sort of gave a clue..lol

3:48 am

grannyrose

the men just about kill each other for the privilege of eating the eyes of the spit-barbecued lamb...

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Really? wonders if there is a youtube video of this madness?

3:49 am

grannyrose

personally??? i leave it to the menfolk...

3:49 am

sprite

um... ok. They can have the eyes, as far as I am concerned.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

I am surprised you would leave it to the men folk, Rose.As you do have a thing about eyes and poking them and such?

3:50 am

zoozzoom

3:55 am

3:56 am

grannyrose

lolol, sprite...he rolls over and starts making the most weird noises with his lips....in his sleep

3:57 am

sprite

oh :D Ok, sounds good, get it on webcam!

3:57 am

grannyrose

and it is only when he breathes out...so technically it's not snoring. * sigh*

3:58 am

sprite

"Ok honey, from now on... don't breathe out!"

3:58 am

zoozzoom

Back. Sweet sleep, Peach.

3:59 am

grannyrose

i usually give up. turn on the lamp and read. he rolls over, goes quiet, i turn off the lamp, he rolls back and starts again. * aaaggghhh*

3:59 am

zoozzoom

But is that what you thought, Rose , Meant, Sprite.When you said you were not sure what, Rose means....Oh forget it that just does not make sense...lol

3:59 am

sprite

so don't turn off the lamp then

4:00 am

grannyrose

lolol, zooz....

4:00 am

sprite

no, my thoughts were kinkier than that

4:00 am

grannyrose

but then i can't sleep....

4:01 am

sprite

closer your eyes and pull the blanket over your eyes then?

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Get ear plugs and eye mask that should do it.

4:02 am

sprite

or give Don a nice poke in the eye.

4:02 am

grannyrose

yeah, good thought. but the rush of air from the CPAP becomes audible. * sigh * i tr5 that.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Failing that sleep in seperate rooms.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

LOL nice one, Sprite!

4:02 am

grannyrose

lolol, sprite

4:02 am

sprite

:)

4:03 am

sprite

just playing on rose's strengths

4:03 am

grannyrose

zooz!!! wash your mouth out....i need him beside me....which is why i try hard to not poke him.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

This bloody computer is getting on my nerves..a lot of words like 'seperate' it keeps underlining to tell me I have not the correct spelling. But I do not know ho to turn it off.

4:04 am

sprite

is the cpap portable, rose? Can you bring it?

4:04 am

grannyrose

*poking in the eyes with a forked stick* is a strength?

4:04 am

zoozzoom

I am washing it out now, Rose. With tea :-)

4:04 am

sprite

you could spell it correctly, like separate, and it won't underline it for you

4:05 am

grannyrose

np's sprite. it travels the world with me.

4:05 am

sprite

well rose... it is all a matter of context, of course...

4:05 am

sprite

good, then all is ok

4:05 am

sprite

zooz, do you have a windows or apple computer?

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Oh geez now who looks stupid LOL

4:06 am

grannyrose

yeah. it is classified as medical equipment.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

I am on windows 8.1

Sprite.When I type in the add word box All the words I have ever put into it comes up as a list as I type as a kind of word suggesting thingy.Do you know how I turn that off too?

4:08 am

sprite

it gives the guide, with pictures.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Cool checking it out now.

4:08 am

sprite

first thing I do after installing windows or office... turning off the auto checker. Drives me bananas.

4:15 am

sprite

did we lose our rose to a squirrel or her meds?

4:18 am

zoozzoom

OK back. Turned it off but it still does it.Maybe it is because I am using firefox.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Plus the auto correct is on so that does nnot work either clearly..lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Yes I did wonder why you said squirrel now and again when, Rose was not responding..lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Looks like, Sprite has gone AWOL too :-(

4:20 am

grannyrose

nope, my darling, just watching the chog to which i cannot add a knowledgible comment.

4:21 am

sprite

lolol yes, it means rose's attention span is rather short, all it takes is a squirrel passing by and off she goes. Joso started it.

4:21 am

sprite

no, I was trying to find you a website for the firefox issue

4:21 am

zoozzoom

hahaha I like that!

4:21 am

4:30 am

Have a wonderful day, Sprite :-)

4:31 am

*giggle* sprite. either would be good. i hope your day is kind to you, my darling.

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I am confident your day will go your way tomorrow, Rose :-)

4:38 am

grannyrose

thanx zooz.

4:42 am

grannyrose

zooz...is there any other way it could go? given that the workcover agents have acted so irresponsibility?

4:45 am

zoozzoom

Well I am no expert, Rose, but I feel with all the evidence that your union has gathered it should be an easy decision for them to make.Albeit one the hospital would rather go their way.Like mentioned yesterday about excepting work back that is the only sticking point I feel they might be sneaky about.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

I know you said about getting a written two & half year contract. But you need to mmake sure it does not entail work you might not be able to do.Would be a good idea to get someone on the leagal side to look over any new work contract with them.To make sure it is what you are manage etc.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

can manage..not are manage..lol

4:51 am

grannyrose

i hear you zooz.

4:51 am

grannyrose

which is why i am letting the union rep handle it all.

5:07 am

zoozzoom

OK time for me to go.Will try and finish later. ((Rose)) will look in some time tomorrow and see if you are here. If not just send me an email.You will be fine...Bye for now. And happy babbling everyone.

Granny, if you could put a single sheet or beach towel under your bed-companion, you could do as they do in hospitals to turn someone without disturbing them: take the near edges of the sheet in your hands (as far apart as possible) and gently roll him back over. well, it was an idea ....

Crossy...I watched someone make bacon yesterday in the oven with brown sugar and cayenne pepper...looked good.

7:17 am

that is how the royals enjoy their bacon I am told:)

7:17 am

MimiCat

Yes, that's very funny, crossy..

7:17 am

And a woman is coming to clean my house today, I better get those fans going :)

7:18 am

Wolvie

ooh- i make a messy appy that is bacon with a bit of mustard spread over then brown sugar- quite good tho lol

7:18 am

MimiCat

I've made it in the oven with the brown sugar before and it is delicious but never put cayenne in the mix...going to try that as soon as I can get a loan to buy bacon again....

7:18 am

crosshair

you guys in the hot zones must think of 40c as a lovely break from the heat

7:18 am

crosshair

mm, making crossy hungry

7:19 am

crosshair

bacon is expensive here as well $6 for 3/4 of a pound!!

7:20 am

Wolvie

taking a bit of a break- bbs

7:20 am

MimiCat

Beef is also terribly expensive so I rarely get it. I haven't had a steak in, literally, years.

7:20 am

MimiCat

Bye, Wolvie!

7:22 am

crosshair

A roast of around a pound and a half, nothing fancy is 15-20 dollars. i cannot make it work in the food budget

7:24 am

MimiCat

I don't know if you've had this experience but the last roast I did get was tough even though I used the slow cooker...what's up with that?

7:24 am

MimiCat

I actually took it back to the store and got my money back!

7:27 am

sukee

Well, at least today is supposed to be the only really hot day. We can survive :)

7:27 am

sukee

I'm off for breakfast, see you later

7:28 am

MimiCat

Bye, sukee~

7:28 am

MimiCat

I need to get my day started...lots of work to do. Bye, crossy!

7:29 am

crosshair

I try to never buy cheaper cuts of roasts that are tied together with string. i read once that the practice now is to take bits and pieces of beef, spray it all with an enzyme solution and tie it all together and in effect artificially "grow" a roast

7:29 am

crosshair

tc ((mimi))

7:31 am

crosshair

I find one like that tough and with gristly parts no matter how i cook it

7:34 am

MimiCat

Years ago I used to buy a whole beef tenderloin roast and make half as a roast and then make country fried steak medallions with the rest. I can't do that now, for sure.

7:34 am

crosshair

I have slowly been adding more fish to my meal plans anyways for the 20 dollars a medium grade small roast costs, i can get lots of fish fillets

7:35 am

crosshair

mmmm, would cost a fortune now, mimi

7:35 am

crosshair

I see the good meat in the butchers "special" display case... $55!!! for a bloody roast!

7:35 am

MimiCat

OK--now I'm hungry! I love fish but don't dare buy it "fresh" here except for one (expensive) store we have. Somehow buying fresh fish in the desert seems like a bad idea.

7:36 am

MimiCat

I'm getting pork tenderloin now and it's delicious and not fatty.

7:37 am

crosshair

Last time I bought a pork roast, i was badly dissapointed

7:37 am

crosshair

We are more fortunate here with fish sources

7:39 am

wvteach

had an excellent pork roast last night

7:39 am

crosshair

lol, mimi. you buying fish is like us buying fresh fruit in the winter. By the time it gets to us it has been ripening on a truck for two weeks and has 2500 miles on it

7:39 am

MimiCat

I only get the strip of tenderloin or sometimes pork loin roast and they're usually fine. I coat them in either a teriyaki glaze or BBQ sauce and roast for about 30 minutes. Very tender.

7:39 am

wvteach

this was a pork loin roast

7:40 am

MimiCat

I love pork tenderloin with steamed brussels sprouts...great combo. I put butter and a bit of cheese on the sprouts.

Before I go, wanted to mention that new studies are showing vitamin D deficiency can predispose to Alzheimer's. Glad I started taking supplemental D3 a few months ago!

7:45 am

MimiCat

I'd be willing to bet that there's a lack of D in the Canadian climate.

7:46 am

crosshair

I would agree with you

7:46 am

crosshair

Though today is bright and sunny

7:47 am

crosshair

I remember reading that there was a big issue with this in the 1940's at which time they started adding vit D into the milk

7:47 am

crosshair

and tanning came into vogue

7:48 am

MimiCat

It's ironic that I live in a climate with LOTS of sun and I must be careful not to get out in it much and to use sunscreen since I'm quite fair and burn easily.

7:49 am

MimiCat

Tanning is just such a bad idea...don't understand why people want to fry their skin!

7:49 am

crosshair

so cancer if you venture out in that type of exposure and Alzheimer's if you do not:(

7:49 am

crosshair

my third cancer was melanoma, i do not suffer fools who lay out in the sun and bake

7:50 am

MimiCat

Taking the supplemental D will surely help. I actually take several supplements. I researched and found the ones I thought would be beneficial to me. Time will tell, I guess.

7:50 am

crosshair

I take great delight in showing sun worshippers the scars on my belly

7:51 am

MimiCat

Though, if you'll remember, my son said if I ever get Alzheimer's they won't be able to tell the difference.

7:51 am

crosshair

as Baz Lundrum said wear sunscreen!

7:51 am

crosshair

this is true. it is like losing your mind. do not worry as you will never know it:)

7:52 am

MimiCat

I had a squamous cell carcinoma on my cheek just under my eye. Had it removed and plastic surgeon grafted skin from my ear love over it. He did a great job. He thought it came about due to a really bad sunburn I got many year ago.

7:52 am

crosshair

For now, i take a multi-vitamin and a bucket load of vitaminc

7:53 am

MimiCat

But the kicker to that was my regular doctor didn't think it was anything! I was the one who sought out the dermatologist!

7:53 am

crosshair

Mine came as a result of being bare chested on a construction site for 5 summers showing off my bronzed body to the ladies as they passed by:)

7:54 am

You are your best doctor sometimes

9:44 am

Scrabbler

Hi phandmd

9:44 am

phandmd

you know what makes me mad?

9:44 am

cybernan

hi dawger

9:45 am

Scrabbler

What, ph?

9:45 am

cybernan

there's only one thing?

9:45 am

crosshair

howdy phand

9:45 am

phandmd

people that buy alcohol for minors@

9:45 am

phandmd

!!!

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Yes! Bad decision!

9:45 am

crosshair

agreed

9:45 am

phandmd

well, Cybernan, there are probably a lot more than one thing, but I am angry about one thing right now

9:46 am

Scrabbler

I just found that word in the gr4, Crossy.

9:46 am

phandmd

some did that for my son!

9:47 am

crosshair

lol, off to the pb I go

9:47 am

phandmd

someone...

9:47 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito! whoot

9:47 am

crosshair

how old is your son?

9:47 am

phandmd

and more than once!

9:47 am

phandmd

19

9:47 am

crosshair

uh oh:(

9:47 am

crosshair

here, the drinking age is 19

9:48 am

crosshair

used to be 18 when I was young

9:48 am

phandmd

here it is 21

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Did your son ASK the person do do it?

9:48 am

phandmd

yes, of course.

9:48 am

lbdawger

states used to determine age or drinking, then the feds stepped in and said, all at 21 or no federal road money.

9:49 am

phandmd

which is bad enough, but for the idiot to do it is just wrong!

9:49 am

lbdawger

hope the idiot who bought the booze for your son get caught, phan.

9:50 am

phandmd

I hope so too, lbd.

9:50 am

crosshair

was your son hanging out at the store asking people to do it for him?

9:50 am

crosshair

oh yes, I should read the chog:/. things are busy round here this morn

9:51 am

phandmd

I guess. He is passed out right now, but he had confessed prior to passing out that was how he got the booze.

9:51 am

crosshair

:(

9:52 am

Scrabbler

A lesson for your son.

9:52 am

crosshair

I have a son who is 20 going on 15, so i can relate. he is not ready for drinking or the bar scene by any means

9:53 am

crosshair

His friend just turned 19 and wanted to take him bar crawling and I had to put the hammer down on that!

9:53 am

phandmd

problem is, Scrabbler, that this isn't the first time. He told his father today, before passing out, that he is sad. He is sad because he doesn't have many friends, a girl friend and school isn't going as well as he thought it would.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

So true, Crossy, about "20 going on 15." Adolescent males are dopey. I have three adolescent nephews, 20, 24, and 26. They went brain dead at 13 and I am waiting to see glimpses of maturity.

9:54 am

crosshair

My wife says that happens around age 45 or so...

2:55 pm

"But how could you live and have no story to tell?"- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

2:57 pm

It's 4 PM and I only have 24 words.

2:58 pm

it is ok, unless your turn into a pumpkin at 5pm:)

2:58 pm

Crazy busy day

2:59 pm

jaxx7

crossy, I have been playing the slow and steady game all day with little to show for it.

3:00 pm

crosshair

the words drip slow but steady as if from a leaky tap; you never die of thirst but you are always parched:.. hey, that is not bad :)

3:00 pm

crosshair

howdy jaxx:)

3:00 pm

crosshair

I may have to use that:))

3:02 pm

jaxx7

Bich, you are right about the crazy day. Picture a hospital lift. To one side are my husband and I, at the other is a trolley with a badly injured man being admitted to the wards. From the blankets come two hands and an I- phone and the badly injured one is sending a text!

3:03 pm

jaxx7

Very erudite, crossy.

3:04 pm

crosshair

It is like having a bunch of little old ladies sitting by the side of the road wielding little hammers and banging away on giant boulders; it takes a long time but eventually you get sand.. :) I stole that from somewhere. Not sure where:)

3:05 pm

crosshair

lol. Must forgive me. i have had my mind buried in my novel most of the day

3:05 pm

I am still working my way through the clutter. No treasure, sadly

3:07 pm

then you know the rule; Display, use it or if it has not been used in 6 month then off to the yard sale it goes!

3:08 pm

bichon

Can you tell Mr. Bich that

3:09 pm

crosshair

Of course, I am one to talk. I have my old typewriter sitting on a shelf where it has not moved an inch in at least a decade...

3:10 pm

jaxx7

I am keeping a record of the silly, dangerous things I see. Like the young lady who was putting her hair up in a ponytail with both hands while driving her car through rush hour traffic. Not surprisingly, the car veered across to the other lane. How she managed to regain control was a mystery.

3:10 pm

A very good holding hair spray I would imagine:))

The 6 month mantra is one that my neighbour lives by. She can't read so no books or magazines around the place. She has 4 dogs instead which are only let out into the back garden and never go for a proper walk. The dogs rule OK?

3:13 pm

jaxx7

perhaps Elnett? lol.

3:14 pm

crosshair

whay cannot she read any books?

3:14 pm

crosshair

books are life; they do not count in the 6 month rule:0

3:14 pm

jaxx7

No. Her husband is the same. I have to read her mail to her. I helped her buy her house as well.

3:15 pm

crosshair

ahh tad illiterate?

3:15 pm

jaxx7

She finds my collection amusing. Imagine not being literate.

3:16 pm

crosshair

teach her to read. it is am amazing feeling when you see them "get it" and take off

3:16 pm

crosshair

I shudder at the mere thought. books were my escape as a child:)

3:17 pm

jaxx7

She isn't interested. her vocabulary is restricted to swear words and other profanities.

3:17 pm

crosshair

Has no interest whatsoever? wow

3:18 pm

doseffing

... you were in the writer's craft class crossy ... how many of those kids can read? ... or should I say "read well" ... I see them every day at school ... there's a large number of kids everyday who are functionally illiterate and who don't care

3:19 pm

crosshair

about 60% are functional readers only. they read what they must and no more

3:19 pm

crosshair

the most they read at home is the side of a cereal box

3:20 pm

doseffing

... and that was a class with student's looking to write ... okay ... looking to get a credit that someone told them waa easy .. ... wait to you get to the general population

3:21 pm

crosshair

Actually that was for ENG3C and ENG4C college classes. My university writers craft class starts on Sept second

3:21 pm

jaxx7

Exactly and this is Lin. She is a fantastic person, once you get past the profanity! The last year I was working in a High School 1 in 4 couldn't read and a further 1 in 4 just about.

3:21 pm

crosshair

I cannot wait:))

3:22 pm

doseffing

... 3U and 4U classes aren't a lot better ...

3:22 pm

crosshair

I know, and you are correct dose. They think it is all a free ride

3:22 pm

jaxx7

Lifelong Learning, crossy. It keeps you young and your brain still working

3:23 pm

crosshair

.. as long as mom and dad keep a roof over them and the fridge is full

3:23 pm

crosshair

indeed jaxx:)

3:23 pm

jaxx7

They have no work ethic.

3:24 pm

crosshair

well, this time around i will not have them dragging me down in group projects. Only myself and one other were offered this class

3:24 pm

jaxx7

I was a lifelong Learning rep for my trade union. Hard to get busy people interested.

3:24 pm

crosshair

We will have our own aREA AND WILL BE FREE TO DO OUR OWN THING.. WITHION THE COURSE GUIDELINES OF COURSE

3:24 pm

crosshair

sorry caps

3:25 pm

crosshair

crossy's fat fingers

3:25 pm

jaxx7

I can 'hear' you crossy. No need to shout! lol

3:26 pm

crosshair

yes, it is going to be EWC4U, dose:)

3:26 pm

crosshair

lol, jaxx

3:27 pm

jaxx7

Quite an exclusive course then.

3:28 pm

crosshair

well, I guess there was a cut -off grade average, but they did not tell me what it was. so the two of us will be taking up space in the ENG4c classroom so we can pick the teachers brain at need

3:29 pm

doseffing

... I'm surprised at a class of 2 ... board funding formulas and all that ... I'd watch for a bunch of Victory Lappers being dumped in or perhaps Returners ...

3:29 pm

crosshair

Saves being on the road all day driving to a campus

3:29 pm

crosshair

they are lumping us in with the 3c's dose

3:29 pm

crosshair

or 4C's i mean

3:29 pm

doseffing

... okay ... that will make up the number ...

3:30 pm

crosshair

that way they get their count for funding and we save $

3:31 pm

crosshair

The teacher had to agree to ti. She will have her head full of #c and 4C and we will be a distraction at times i am sure

3:31 pm

crosshair

to it*

3:31 pm

crosshair

3C*

3:31 pm

periwinkle

what are 3C and 4C?

3:31 pm

doseffing

... she'll give you the assignment each week, wend you to the computer lab or library then talk to you at break or after class

3:32 pm

crosshair

I had never heard of the "victory lappers" until last year. Was stunned at first

3:32 pm

doseffing

... Ontario teacher speak ... "3" means high school junior ... "4" is senior ...

3:32 pm

crosshair

I am sure you are right, dose

3:32 pm

periwinkle

ok

3:32 pm

crosshair

college prep english peri

3:32 pm

doseffing

"C" is supposed community college bound stream while "U" is supposedly university bound

3:33 pm

crosshair

as dose says;)

3:33 pm

doseffing

... well when you and I were there it was called Grade Fourteen

3:34 pm

periwinkle

3:34 pm

crosshair

My sons friend did a "victory lap" so he could wait for his GF to graduate, then they were off to college together

3:34 pm

jaxx7

Sounds very complex to a Brit

3:34 pm

doseffing

... lots of reasons ... some of them are actually very good ... most often it is picking up two credits in the fall semester

3:35 pm

crosshair

yes, it is either that or the adlult learning centres

3:35 pm

doseffing

... well you've got "O" and "A" levels and I've never understood those

3:35 pm

jaxx7

We don't have them now, dose.

3:36 pm

crosshair

darn typos. I blame it on tired fingers. Added 3000 words to the tome of the ages today:)

3:36 pm

crosshair

not to mention endless editing on earlier sections:)

3:37 pm

doseffing

... in Ontario now ... there are four years of high school (used to be five) ... and because all the courses are individual courses there really aren't grades anymore ... if you fail a course you just take the course over again ... not the entire year.

3:38 pm

crosshair

Many disagree but I like breaking my novel into three sections. i can be in my 3rd section and generating new parts of the tale, but if it is a type of day where the words just simply will not come, I can go back to a earlier section and edit and wait for inspiration

3:39 pm

jaxx7

We have Post General Certificate of Education, taken at 16, AS level (exam at the end of first year of post 16) can be added to an A level taken at 18 to get a better grade.#

3:39 pm

doseffing

... actually three streams (and I know that's a bad word but it's the only one I can remember) ... courses are at a level that is aimed for kids going to university (U) or intending to go to a community college (C) or straight to the workplace (L) ... in theory you could take a mix but the universities don't accept "C" level courses in their count of credits for admission ... and "L" levels are for kids who really should never have been let out of elementary school

3:40 pm

crosshair

My son is going back to upgrade himself this year. he has the High school certificate only and i said you may wish more options that that provides..

3:40 pm

jaxx7

It is hard to get a range of subjects to give you the widest choice of careers.

3:40 pm

crosshair

as is my beloved

3:42 pm

crosshair

it can be, jaxx. You sort of have to have a rough idea about which direction your inner compass is pointing

3:42 pm

doseffing

... that's a great reason for going back ... ... depends how many credits they need ... ... I've seen kids who are just afraid to leave ... ... Staying back for the girl friend isn't

3:42 pm

jaxx7

You never know what opportunities will come your way once you leave full time education.

3:43 pm

doseffing

... and the directional compass can change so you decide to take an extra year ... great reason

3:43 pm

crosshair

My schooling last year for example, was the inspiration for my novel which is now 3/4 finished and should be all polished by christmass

3:44 pm

jaxx7

Well, gentlemen, I am going to take a break as this grid is getting me down. bbl

3:45 pm

4:30 pm

Aloyisius

yup, I divide 4 into the total.. 63, so am happy.. a gauge of how difficult the grid is if I can't reach the goal

4:30 pm

doseffing

... trying again ... past tense of what you've done when you mix something up in a pot on the stove

4:31 pm

ivesy3

ty dos, i was going wrong way..didnt see double consonant

4:31 pm

The UK ads play along the lines of "you either love it or hate it"! I've always loved it and would have to import it from the UK if I couldn't get it here!

7:06 pm

Glad to hear that, nan.

7:06 pm

they sell it in stores here, in the "foreign" food sections - lol

7:11 pm

what is marmite? - sounds suspiciously like a pesky rodent

7:12 pm

Marmite is a yeast based salty spread for bread or toast. Also sometimes used as a flavouring in stews.

Marmite is best on butter!
