1:19 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

1:19 am

Jellen

I have a new dog, ruru.

1:20 am

rururocks

oh.. nice.. your other dog was really cute

1:20 am

rururocks

what kind of dog?

1:20 am

Jellen

She's a blue nose pit named Freya.

1:20 am

rururocks

you like that breed huh?

1:21 am

rururocks

they kind of scare me.. even though I know the breed is mostly about the owner and training

1:21 am

Jellen

5 1/2 months old. She was a present from Josh. Yes, I like pits.

1:22 am

rururocks

what's the latest GR?

1:23 am

grannyrose

ruru, lodged all the paperwork for disability support pension today, except the medical report, which is being done next week.

1:24 am

grannyrose

and the jackass dr who said i wasn't well enough to work?? i nominated him to be interviewed by the department...lol...

1:24 am

rururocks

fantastic... is that a loss for you to not be able to work again.. or are you okay with that?

1:24 am

Lizlin

lol :)

1:24 am

grannyrose

ruru, not really a loss, although i loved my job. i just hate the way it was done.

1:25 am

rururocks

oh. ok.

1:29 am

rururocks

so is Don still working? I would guess so?

1:30 am

rururocks

he'll love coming home to you barefoot and in the kitchen :D

1:30 am

grannyrose

no ruru. he was made to take a redundancy package 2 years ago. he is drawing a pension from his superannuation.

1:31 am

grannyrose

roflol....and definitely not pregnant.

1:31 am

rururocks

what did he do.. what's a redundancy package? Ok.. you come home to him barefoot and in an apron instead

1:33 am

grannyrose

ruru, he was the communications officer for an university. that means he did everything, photography, still and fast action, door signs, converting thesis to dvd, anything in the way of communicating. he has 2 degrees and 2 diplomas.

1:34 am

grannyrose

redundancy package...the employer pays the worker out for the rest of his working life. plus a bonus usually.

1:35 am

grannyrose

it means with all the n ew technology available don's work was no longer needed as the students etc could do it all themselves.

1:35 am

Lizlin

A "good" way for a company to cut back on labour!

1:37 am

rururocks

oh.. how do I sign up for that>

1:40 am

Jellen

Could I have a clue for yo 5/18? I'm rusty!

1:40 am

grannyrose

mate, being told you are no longer necessary to that employer is most unpleasant. especially after years of service. at least don had a farewell dinner.

1:41 am

grannyrose

jellen, yo + most of actor who doesn't speak

1:41 am

Lizlin

You don't always get the package you deserve, either.

1:41 am

rururocks

yo + not dad with another vowel

1:41 am

rururocks

Yomarleematlin

1:41 am

rururocks

damn it

1:42 am

grannyrose

yeah, right, ruru

1:42 am

Lizlin

BBL

1:43 am

rururocks

I guess that would be hard to take GR.. I'm sorry for you and Don too.

1:43 am

rururocks

bye liz

1:43 am

Jellen

Thanks. That is a new one for me.

1:43 am

Jellen

Thanks. That is a new one for me.

1:43 am

rururocks

maybe you can both be barefoot and in aprons and in the kitchen

1:43 am

rururocks

welcome jellen

1:44 am

grannyrose

ruru i know we are not indispensible, but a touch of kindness wouldn't have gone astray.

1:44 am

rururocks

yeah.. your employer sounds like they have real humanity issues

1:46 am

saanichcat

1:48 am

rururocks

rubyfoo

4:36 am

grannyrose

rubyfoo

4:43 am

sprite

4:44 am

grannyrose

* giggle * and you should hear him on the subject of what workcover have done to me. i think he is going to tear their throats out.

4:44 am

sprite

oh that is so wonderful. I love it. Nothing like a roaring tiger on your side.

4:44 am

grannyrose

he is such a lovely man, and truly feels incensed on my behalf.

4:45 am

sprite

I like him already

4:45 am

crosshair

indeed. it is from your doctor those all important papers will flow to aid your case

4:46 am

grannyrose

4:46 am

4:48 am

grannyrose

4:49 am

crosshair

4:49 am

sprite

one has to be so strong and healthy to apply for disability benefits...

4:50 am

grannyrose

4:50 am

crosshair

ture words... took ten full year to get my wifes disability up and running

4:50 am

grannyrose

lolol, sprite, such an oxymoron

4:50 am

sprite

4:51 am

grannyrose

crossy, they are going to put me on new start, but with an incapacity to work condition attached. so i don't have to show i have been looking for work.

4:51 am

crosshair

that is well

4:51 am

sprite

am writing a symbolic book about ptsd. And at some point, the protagonist is hanging at a cliff, by her fingernails, while her boss is asking why the hell she isn't at work.

4:52 am

crosshair

not only would the boss be asking whay she is not at work, but would also ask her to quit hanging around and fet a cup of coffee

4:52 am

grannyrose

that's a pretty good description of how you and i live, sprite

4:52 am

crosshair

get

4:53 am

sprite

and rose, appointments like this take everything out of you. You need to rest up. I cannot stress it enough. Don't treat it like any other appointment. Treat it like the marathon it is.

4:54 am

sprite

4:56 am

grannyrose

yep. I thought I'd have time once my grandson was in school; but DH has been sick again (I'm finding he takes up as much time as the kid let!

MollyL

A Hebrew word I had never heard. I've heard the singular, but not the plural.

10:53 am

zoozzoom

Finding it hard to find what it means. As far as I can see it might have to do with holidays?

10:56 am

MollyL

Yo3 means day. Yo5 means days.

10:57 am

bichon

Yes Molly and Yomayim means two days

10:58 am

zoozzoom

Ahh thank you, Molly!

10:58 am

bichon

I still haven't found a way to down load Babble Expert after my debacle this AM

10:58 am

MollyL

The link I gave you doesn't work?

10:59 am

zoozzoom

I tried putting in hebrew yo5 into gogle but it just would not play ball.kept coming up with the alternative spelling.

10:59 am

bichon

No, it doesn't lead you to the dowload to Expert. Crossy sent it to me the last time but the link has expired. Trying to get a hold of him

11:00 am

Maybe Google doesn't do Hebrew

It's handy to save that link somewhere in case you have troubles again. UUSue has the link in her profile as well.

11:03 am

I went to a babblers profile page and copied and pasted.

There seems to be a few babblers who have it in their profile page.

I just did that, ty again

11:11 am

MollyL

It's too bad there is not a link to a Babble Help page at the bottom with things like this link, what NBT and NBS mean and other, frequently asked questions. Angelsong's page is outdated and frequently not available

That would be great Molly

sheesh is not a word!

11:13 am

I use it all the time

Sheesh...American slang...not accepted...arvo...Australian slang...accepted...go figure. I would say sheesh is used far more than arvo.

well if it is a work list, it was compiled by someone who does not recognize word origins and who cannot spell

hi cyber!

Jillyjill

I am heading out shortly myself soodle. Lots to do and then I'm going out for sushi whilst a friend is in town.

3:22 pm

Soodle

First couple of lines of the Friends theme tune are my anthem these days. Why did I ever think things would get easier the older I got!

3:22 pm

MollyL

Awww, we're sorry, that is a trip to the PB for Jill.

3:22 pm

Soodle

How lovely, Jilly. Lucky you. Enjoy, m'dear.

3:23 pm

Jillyjill

O too true Soodle...getting older aint for wimps!

3:23 pm

Soodle

Tis an ill wind. Now I have the su5/14....

3:24 pm

VXSagittarii

I wish everyone would post the number of words total for us who do not have a membership at the very beginnings with your "flip" comments

3:25 pm

penquis

97 today...

3:25 pm

Jillyjill

97 VX..

3:25 pm

penquis

all you have to do is ask... :o)

3:26 pm

VXSagittarii

Ask every day tho? "97" sounds a lot better than "flip"

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

But all you have to do is ask....plus we all would encourage you to become a member...cheap for your lifetime!! :)

3:26 pm

Soodle

There was a clue in my post @ 3.17, VSX....

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

And now with 43 left and nbt/nbs...I must go tend my friends garden!

3:26 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

3:27 pm

Soodle

Bye Jill. Have fun!

3:27 pm

MollyL

I was saying earlier, it's too bad there is not a link to a page with frequently asked questions (NBT, NBS, how many words, etc) that would update daily. Kind of a "bulletin board"

3:28 pm

penquis

yes, that would be very helpful to new people....

3:31 pm

Soodle

Very good idea Molly.

3:33 pm

VXSagittarii

Well I would think that typing "97" with flip wouldn't be that painstaking for you guys. Altho I'm not a drill sergeant either so the option of a separate page or a mere 2-3 character comment is up to you

3:34 pm

MollyL

I agree, and if I were around at flip time, I would be glad to do it. Alas, I am usually asleep then.

3:35 pm

penquis

so am i, lol....

3:35 pm

Soodle

My Mom (84) had a fall the other day & broke a bone in her ankle. She is not the most patient of patients. Meanwhile, back in the Nursing Home, my 86 yr old Dad is trying to organise an escape. I'm moithered!

3:35 pm

MollyL

Oh man, if I were over there I would go bust your Dad out in a heartbeat. : D

3:37 pm

MollyL

But seriously folks, I had both of my 80 some odd year old parents in assisted care at one time and I know how overwhelming it can be.

3:37 pm

penquis

VX....asking how many words there are is not painstaking either....as you saw, a few people quickly answered your question....

3:38 pm

Soodle

Well, bring a hoist with you, Molls, cos that's the only way he can be moved from A to B. Me heart's broke!

3:38 pm

penquis

sorry, Soodle....i hear ya....

3:39 pm

Soodle

And, VX, many non registered players ask for the word total. There is never an issue, as Pen said.

3:40 pm

VXSagittarii

I know but going through the effort of asking when potentially no one is around to receive/answer it might be a little frustrating.. as opposed to a click at "Archives" and viewing the first few comments that are already there and said

3:40 pm

VXSagittarii

Plus, I'd prefer not to chat at all

3:40 pm

penquis

there is almost always someone around...

3:40 pm

Soodle

Thanks Pen. I'm under pressure at the moment, & a tad tetchy... In case you hadn't noticed!! Lol

3:41 pm

penquis

np...

3:41 pm

VXSagittarii

Right but the points I'm trying to make sort of remains intact I think. It's more convenient when it's already there and easily findable

3:41 pm

VXSagittarii

point*

3:42 pm

penquis

yes, but probably no one will remember....and probably no one here now will be at the flip...

3:42 pm

VXSagittarii

Right, which is why I encourage this message to be passed along to everyone, but who am I to demand and say anything.

3:43 pm

Soodle

How long have you been playing, VSX?

she's argentian. Yale = jail

Oh, joo seeely American man, joo.

3:53 pm

HarryHood

I was a little taken aback at first. no I didn't go to jail!

3:54 pm

Nef

May I say something to VXS? It costs less than $15 US ONCE to get full membership here for your lifetime. For those of us that are members, the word stats and tiles stats are totally visible. Please join and support the game if you like it.

3:54 pm

MollyL

Joo go go jail, Senor Hood?

3:55 pm

VXSagittarii

I can't afford my own rent, Nef. I have to budget my food to the cent. Thanks tho.

3:56 pm

MollyL

Just to clarify, joining is a personal preference that does make it easier to play. However it does nothing to "support the game".

3:56 pm

penquis

Well if you need info (like how many P words there are), just ask...

3:56 pm

HarryHood

Molly I don't understand your profile msg. What is ****?

3:57 pm

MollyL

Using *'s in clues...as in usi** stars in cl***

3:57 pm

VXSagittarii

My point completely bypassed everyone. I guess adopting a new meme at the start of every "flip" is too much. Understandable.

3:57 pm

HarryHood

ah - I hadn't parsed the sentence correctly.

3:57 pm

Nef

I'm sorry about that, VXS. There are some members who pay for another persons membership if they have a hardship; but if you don't chat no one knows youâ€¦.

3:57 pm

VXSagittarii

I'd prefer not to chat, Nef

3:58 pm

MollyL

I think it's a great idea, but I have no idea how you would go about getting people to do it on a regular basis.

3:58 pm

VXSagittarii

Today is the exception because I have a complaint.

3:59 pm

Nef

VXS, most of the people here at this time of day are not here in 8 hours. If you could ask this at flip time, I'm sure some of them will try to do so.

4:01 pm

Nef

And Molly, when I used the term "support the game" I meant that Dr_God came up with the game and it's nice if he makes some money off of it.

4:01 pm

HarryHood

29 to go. bbl!

4:03 pm

Nef

VXS, I'm sporadically on here at the flip. I'll try to mention it to some of the usual suspects (& I'll try to remember to be here around that time tonight too)

4:03 pm

MollyL

Apologies Nef. I was just going on what has been stated here, that Dr. God no longer makes enough money from this to invest in any updates.

4:03 pm

Nef

I'm not usually here at this time of day

4:04 pm

Nef

Which is sad, isn't it Molly?

4:05 pm

MollyL

it's the nature of the internet. Discussion boards and game boards are dying all over the place due to Facebook.

4:17 pm

lbdawger

hi all, Dr.G doesn't do the game to make money. He'd like to but, he's realistic enough to just do it along with iron Sudoku and some other pet things he does.

4:18 pm

MollyL

That was the roundabout point I was trying to make, that it's not a money maker

4:18 pm

Soodle

Well the 'Flip' happens @ 6.00 am my time. If i am awake/alive, I will try to remember to give the word count. But, be warned, it will be sporadic.

4:18 pm

VXSagittarii

Thanks Soodle. If it was a meme known by everyone, everyone might do it

4:19 pm

cybernan

hi again - was called away - 5 to go

4:19 pm

MollyL

And, if a few people start doing it, it might catch on with others.

4:19 pm

VXSagittarii

For example. "Flip 97"

4:19 pm

VXSagittarii

"163 flip"

4:20 pm

MollyL

That beats flippity doo dah with a big ole stick
: D

4:20 pm

VXSagittarii

I don't need any clues or features offered by buying this, just the total word count

4:21 pm

cybernan

to 6/27 please?

4:21 pm

Soodle

Lol! If it's a big grid, & Lickety is not up, it could be F*** 370, not Flip 370!

4:21 pm

MollyL

Oh duh, I just thought of something. The word count is always on Lickety, that is a free site.

4:21 pm

cybernan

nm found it

4:22 pm

VXSagittarii

That's sufficient Molly, ty

4:22 pm

Soodle

Yeah, Molly, but Lickety can be as sporadic as Soodle...

4:23 pm

Soodle

Very nice icon, btw, Molls.

4:23 pm

cybernan

un 4 - stupid stupid .... hesitate to call it a word!

4:24 pm

MollyL

I have to be careful not to look at too much September 11th stuff, it can get me very depressed.

4:25 pm

VXSagittarii

Then why remember it at all every year?

4:25 pm

MollyL

I didn't say it was not worth remembering. I said that the pictures make me sad.

4:27 pm

cybernan

vxs - it was one of the worst acts of terrorism in history and should never be forgotten!!

Soodle

The pictures of 9/11 make me very sad also, Molly. The chilling memories of 9/11 will stay with me forever. Tributes to those who died should continue as long as breath remains in our bodies.

Hey TO. Still 'lolling' @ Alycia''s comment @ 5.24.

72 Temple Owl

name that proper name - brand of ale made by monks.

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

oops - one letter off!

5:44 pm

MollyL

Here in these United States when we are "lolling" we are lounging around.

5:45 pm

MollyL

As in, I have nothing to do today so I will just be lolling about the pool. (In my dreams)

5:46 pm

MollyL

TO, did you mean Chimay Ale?

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes.

5:48 pm

MollyL

Monks, they make bread, jam, wine and ale. What's not to love?

5:48 pm

Soodle

Sorry. Let me rephrase. Still laughing out loud at what at what Alycia said at 5.24. Oh, dear God in Heaven, what I would not give to be lolling on a sunbed right now

5:49 pm

MollyL

Oh, I think they make cheese too.

5:50 pm

MollyL

Internet Philosophy 101...how often is someone really "laughing out loud" when they (continually) post LOL?

5:50 pm

On my own.

Ah, a deserted beach with a hammock and a cool, alcoholic beverage...bliss

If you see it, you will be there (from the soon to be released movie "Beach Of Dreams)

5:59 pm

And since I have not seen a beach since 2007, I will do the wah, wah, wahing here.

you use musical notes beautifully, molly...

i wish new computers came with old fashioned manuals...

6:56 pm

Oh, we can't have that. Then there would be no need to call tech support. The best thing to do is Google search your question. Lots of answers out there. Some of them make sense.

i just spent 45 min. doing a search....i just wanted to find out more about what the symbols of the function keys stand for....finally figured out how to backlight the keyboard....but there are still a few i don't understand...

6:58 pm

MollyL

It's a trial and error thing, you'll get it eventually.

6:59 pm

penquis

hope so....one looks like a belt buckle....

6:59 pm

MollyL

Is there a forum specifically for your type of computer?

7:00 pm

penquis

yes, i guess i could post a question...seems like something i should know...

7:01 pm

MollyL

Are you talking about the Windows key? In between Ctrl and Alt?

7:02 pm

penquis

no, it's in the top line of keys.....the function keys, i think....i have figured out most of them, but there are still a few that i have not....

7:02 pm

MollyL

Okay then I am lost. All my function keys on the top row are labeled F1 through F12. You must be on a Macintosh

7:03 pm

penquis

i have the numbers (like F1) but i also have symbols....i am on a dell laptop...

7:09 pm

MollyL

And you can't find your answers by doing a Google search on Dell laptop function keys?

7:10 pm

penquis

nope....i found info on related stuff, like how to change the fn keys....i found an out of date chart of symbols but the ones in question weren't there...

ty min...

7:12 pm

MollyL

Well, I'm not sure what your goal is here. I rarely use the function keys on my computer. I would suggest a call to Dell since it's a new computer.

7:13 pm

penquis

thanks...i will consider that....

7:13 pm

MollyL

Hi Min, not exactly a quiet chat. Pen and I have been going back and forth for a while now.

Minveryork

I assume you have this position for the year,not subbing?

10:09 pm

stidmama

I have the position "permanently" Min -- at least, it is continuing provided I pass the probationary first couple of years. I am hopeful I have found my forever teaching home.

10:11 pm

stidmama

how fishy is that Y?

10:11 pm

stidmama

how is life where you are this year, Min -- I seem to remember you were going to be between several schools?

10:12 pm

Minveryork

10:13 pm

Minveryork

I am split between two schools.I actually like being split.

10:13 pm

stidmama

I would appreciate a clue, yes. Thanks Min.

10:13 pm

stidmama

I am glad you like it. I was wondering how the logistics would be

10:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yo5 was my new word of the day

10:15 pm

Minveryork

10:17 pm

Jellen

Stid!

10:17 pm

mcurlschool

Talking about me i see Stid! LOL

10:18 pm

stidmama

HEY MCURL!!!! :-D

10:18 pm

mcurlschool

I think we're pushing our bed time (((hehehe)))

10:18 pm

stidmama

I was at school for a VERY long time today, but I think I got the piles of papers in my room down to almost manageable again.

10:19 pm

mcurlschool

that is a good thing. I think most of our testing is done for this week---whew---

10:19 pm

stidmama

Yes, I will crawl into bed a little late -- only got home about 45 minutes ago. But tomorrow is Friday and we will have a great day (again) and then it will be the weekend and I can sleep then.

10:19 pm

stidmama

Trying to keep work to (mostly) week days this year, so I have weekends with Tom and friends.

10:20 pm

mcurlschool

Lady! You REALLY shouldn't stay that long. And YES weekends should be for family.

10:20 pm

Minveryork

What kind of testing are U doing at beginning of the year

10:20 pm

mcurlschool

Listen to me talk---who's the one there right with you at 630 a.m.

10:21 pm

mcurlschool

We do a lot of reading testing for intervention groups.

10:21 pm

stidmama

Well, the custodians were keeping me company. A micro-rodent had my teaching neighbor up on a chair after school today... They are trying so hard to locate and remove them. It's rough because the school is surrounded by fields and forest.

10:21 pm

stidmama

True -- and then you volunteer and stay later than you have to! *amazed and impressed mama-teacher look*

10:22 pm

mcurlschool

Darn those pesky micro rodents!!!

10:22 pm

mcurlschool

ahhhh shucks mamma

10:23 pm

stidmama

yep. they're small and their FAST! LOL

10:23 pm

mcurlschool

which neighbor? C or K

10:23 pm

stidmama

C

10:24 pm

stidmama

SHE can move pretty fast, too!

10:25 pm

mcurlschool

Oh my heavens, I would loved to have seen that especially after the little poster I gave her this morning about (something like) my classroom may be loud but there is learning going on. I'll have to show you tomorrow

10:25 pm

stidmama

I am so grateful to C AND K (and J) for helping me out, They are happy to lend me materials, and happy to let me try things out on my own, too (and then help me problem-solve when I get confused). I am learning so much and having such a great time.

10:25 pm

stidmama

I'll be in at my usual time! :-D

10:27 pm

mcurlschool

Im looking forward to getting into the reading but alas it probably won't happen for Liz and I until October

10:27 pm

Minveryork

What reading program do you use? Yonkers uses Journeys

10:27 pm

stidmama

OOOH. Did you see that the state supreme court is holding the ENTIRE legislature in contempt? And it was a UNANIMOUS decision!!!

10:28 pm

mcurlschool

we have some staff that use the Read Right program but all others use StoryTown

10:29 pm

stidmama

Yes, I was told Oct 7... I would love to have a better sense for what is going on, but at least now I have the results of the testing you did (THANK YOU!) and it looks like I am pretty much on target with my own assessment of the kids. Nice to have that confirmation -- particularly when I am learning what is appropriate for this grade!

10:29 pm

mcurlschool

I had not seen that. And you know what I would like to see.....the money come out of the legistatures pockets for the "fines" the court threatened once

10:29 pm

stidmama

Yes, we are using StoryTown in 3rd grade. I like it.

10:29 pm

stidmama

That is a possibility, apparently. Kiro has a short story about it.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

I've never heard of those programs. We used Open Court for several years.Then we switched to Journeys last year

10:30 pm

Minveryork

Is your program aligned to the Common Core Standards?

10:30 pm

stidmama

Yes, Common Core fits nicely with our Language Arts, actually!

10:30 pm

mcurlschool

Our staff looked at Journeys but found it didn't align very well with the incoming "Common Core" standards. It was thought to be but they are now finding some BIG holes

10:32 pm

Minveryork

At 1st it was overwhelming to use,but now I like to use it

10:33 pm

mcurlschool

It looks like I need to wrap things up as my being on the computer is causing the Netflix stream to lag and freeze. Stid, I will see you in the "dark" bright early AM!

10:33 pm

stidmama

oops. See you soon, mcurl!

10:34 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye mcurlschool! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

10:35 pm

Minveryork

How are you doing with the grid stidmama.Yell if U need any help. I'll be here for another 15 more minutes or so.

10:37 pm

stidmama

I am down to 32, but not making much progress. Watching an old Dr Who episode with Tom. :-)
