2:21 am

Lizlin

No need to bite our tongues.

2:22 am

grannyrose

2:58 am

grannyrose

3:01 am

sprite

two points even

3:02 am

grannyrose

roflol....and don is looking at me strangely.

3:02 am

sprite

walk up to him slowly... bend your head towards his ear... and softly whisper: "I. Killed. Mufasa."

3:04 am

grannyrose

NO WAY!! he would have me in the rubber room quicker than a wink.

3:04 am

Lizlin

3:04 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:04 am

sprite

welcome back, Liz!

3:04 am

grannyrose

wb liz...where did you go my lovely??

3:05 am

Lizlin

Hmmm. Not seeing more words though.

3:05 am

Lizlin

Not to my bed!

3:05 am

sprite

where do you go to my lovely.... when you're alone in your bed... what are the thoughts that surround you... I want to look inside your head, yes I do...

3:05 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

3:06 am

sprite

3:06 am

grannyrose

3:06 am

Lizlin

Good reference, rose

3:06 am

sprite

*takes bow. Runs off with bow. Watches Liz's dress unravel*

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh my, is the world ready for this... an unravelled liz...

3:07 am

Lizlin

More like shorts and tshirt

3:07 am

sprite

darn she is beautiful

3:07 am

Lizlin

Totally unravelled.

3:10 am

sprite

tsk Liz, you cannot have a bow on a tshirt. Or on shorts.

3:10 am

Lizlin

Hangs head. Why not. Pouting!

3:11 am

grannyrose

careful liz, she has already sent me to bed with bare feet.

3:11 am

sprite

because it looks like... well... never mind. Here's your bow back. Put it on anything you like. Can't resist that pout.

3:11 am

Lizlin

Only the feet?

3:12 am

grannyrose

huh???!!!!????

3:12 am

sprite

yeah so far. But if Rose keeps it up, things will become nekkid fast.

3:12 am

grannyrose

SHE gets away with a pout...

3:12 am

sprite

evil, isn't it? But look at that pout. That takes practice, rose.

3:13 am

Lizlin

Lol

3:13 am

Lizlin

Years of practice. In fact years and even more years.

3:13 am

grannyrose

nooooo. not gonna look. nasty liz. nasty sprite. pfui

3:13 am

sprite

3:14 am

Lizlin

Smiling now. Happy face.

3:14 am

sprite

3:15 am

Lizlin

So you don't like my smile. Pout! Lol!

3:15 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

3:16 am

sprite

and yay for the autocorrect!@

3:17 am

Lizlin

Yeah. Auto correct strikes again.

3:19 am

grannyrose

so glad i have turned the auto correct off. it would drive me bonkers. ( yeah, i know. short drive)

3:20 am

sprite

I cannot stand any autocorrect or even spelling check. If I want advice, I'll ask for it. For the rest, leave me alone! Stupid machines.

3:20 am

Lizlin

Do you ever think the grid letters are all in the wrong place?

3:20 am

grannyrose

what sprite said. i like to make my own mistakes...lolol

3:21 am

Lizlin

Also have to blame careless fingers on iPad!

3:21 am

sprite

repeatedly, Liz. Sometimes I lift up the screen and shake.

3:21 am

grannyrose

oh absolutely, liz. not only that, but the wrong letters altogether.

3:22 am

Lizlin

Halted at 70

3:22 am

sprite

3:57 am

sprite

4:10 am

sprite

yeah me too. I know he was in very very low spirits a while back, and I heard he was given a new medication regime. Not an easy thing, it is a delicate balance and it may take a long time to settle down again.

4:13 am

grannyrose

could you please try and email him?

4:14 am

grannyrose

even if he doesn't answer, at least he would know we care about him.

4:14 am

sprite

sure. Just don't know if his email addy is still valid. But will do. *hugs*

4:15 am

grannyrose

well if it doesn't bounce, surely that means it is still valid.

6:50 am

grannyrose

hey lit. major...isn't it i before e except after c?

6:51 am

crosshair

there are dozens of exceptions that break that rule, rose

6:52 am

crosshair

I think someone counted once. Something like 66 exceptions that break that old chestnut

6:52 am

grannyrose

nope... not going there... you are the lit. major.

6:53 am

grannyrose

soooo... what is the new job??

6:54 am

crosshair

here are a list of words that break that rule...

6:54 am

crosshair

http://tinyurl.com/96wtcuv

6:54 am

sukee

English is such a fun language, glad I am a native speaker.

6:54 am

lbdawger

good luck with the interview, crossy. you'll wow them, i'm sure! must be off for now, bbl to finish.

6:54 am

crosshair

New job is working in a retirement villa kitchen. That and my new TA duties at the school should keep me busy

6:55 am

sukee

zeitgeist is my favorite of those words.

6:55 am

crosshair

The English language is a mess!

6:55 am

crosshair

lol, sukee. Not one that hits the babble grids that often:)

6:55 am

sukee

Bye lbd.

tc LBD

6:56 am

crosshair

My fave off that list is onomatopoeia

6:58 am

grannyrose

some of those should not be there. for instance the ones with the gerund finish.

6:58 am

crosshair

The place is a great set-up. You have a bunch of condo units in one building and the kitchen/dining room, laundry and medical clinic in the building right next door--all on the same property

6:58 am

grannyrose

ttfn lbdawger.

6:59 am

car.eeyore

Nice Crossy!

6:59 am

crosshair

Ineed, Rose. there are some debatable words on there, but most fit the bill

6:59 am

grannyrose

how many hours/week is that crossy?both jobs combined??

7:00 am

crosshair

25 at the school and 10-15 at the villa

7:01 am

crosshair

per wk

7:01 am

crosshair

so, not bad at all

7:02 am

crosshair

And I am not on a fixed, ridged schedule at the school.

7:02 am

grannyrose

not too bad, crossy. is elegant going to be okay with you away that long?

7:03 am

grannyrose

what are TA duties, crossy?

7:03 am

crosshair

I am sure she will be fine. She chafes a bit when i try and do too much for her these days anyways. Even with her disability she like to get her hand into doing a few tings.

7:04 am

crosshair

I assist two different teachers in high school and college level english

7:04 am

grannyrose

good for her, crossy. as i do here..

7:05 am

crosshair

When students need a bit more one-on-one, but the teacher is trying to teach two different grades at once. that is where I can step in and reinforce some concepts or lessons.

7:05 am

grannyrose

woohoo!! crossy is going to be so untouchable we won't be able to talk to him....lololol

7:05 am

crosshair

Like using capitals at the start of a sentence. :)))

7:06 am

grannyrose

hahaha......not this little black duck...

7:06 am

crosshair

it is work, like any other. No better or worse that any other job I have held... well, at least I am not breaking rocks with a sledgehammer;)

7:07 am

grannyrose

with leg-irons on....

7:07 am

crosshair

Rosie the rebel:))

7:07 am

grannyrose

you better believe it, crossy... never one to follow the yellow brick road...

7:08 am

crosshair

I am still learning as well. It is difficult at times to just guide the students and not jump in and mistakenly alter their voice in a English assignment

7:09 am

crosshair

Always blaze a trail and never follow a path.

7:09 am

grannyrose

i hear you, crossy. each to their own.

7:09 am

car.eeyore

I have that problem too, Crossy. When I look over my son's homework, especially writing, I want to change everything...forgetting that I am NOT a 12 YO boy and he is.

7:09 am

crosshair

There is a famous poem about the road less traveled, but for the life of me, I cannot remember who wrote it.

7:10 am

crosshair

it can be very hard at times, car;)

7:11 am

Stats for the E in the second column please?

7:11 am

crosshair

Called "The Road Not Taken"

7:11 am

crosshair

that can be my tidbit of the day..

7:11 am

grannyrose

the road not taken by robert frost

7:11 am

crosshair

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost

7:17 am

crosshair

I over-corrected a paper of my sons once when he was in primary school, and the teacher sent ME a grade--an F! and asked that I let the wife help with my sons work in the future:)

7:17 am

grannyrose

and g'day teach

7:18 am

sukee

We had a beautiful spring day yesterday too, about the same temperature.

7:18 am

grannyrose

a shrug is also a possibility.

7:18 am

crosshair

7:19 am

JBV

crossy, are youworking in a high school?

7:19 am

crosshair

7:19 am

grannyrose

jbv, we seem to have skipped autumn/fall and gone straight into winter.

7:19 am

JBV

well, grannyrose, I certainly hope your winter is better than the one we just had here

7:20 am

JBV

it was endless snow, arctic cold (sorry, crossy, I know my "arctic" is not the same as yours)

7:20 am

JBV

7:20 am

JBV

oh, nm

7:20 am

crosshair

I am working in a learning centre. it is for 18+ age students. We get a mix of high school students missing just a credit or 2 for their O.S.S.D and also get mature student coming back to finish what they did not have a chance to complete decades ago.

7:20 am

JBV

i'm blind

7:21 am

grannyrose

jbv, we rarely have snow at this elevation. but up the mountain, about 20 minutes from our home, there is quite often snow.

sounds like a great job - lucky kids to have you

7:22 am

crosshair

I am the lucky one. I have learned so much there and it has opened many doors that were previously lock and bolted.

7:22 am

JBV

do your teachers do peer editing and review - that is, students read, comment and offer suggestions to each other

7:22 am

JBV

helps reduce the reading load on the teachers and builds self-monitoring

7:22 am

crosshair

I do peer editing if asked, but they are supposed to peer edit each other as well, but for some reason that rarely happens. they shy away from showing each other their work

7:23 am

JBV

peer editing has to be taught

7:23 am

JBV

we used to start it in third grade

7:23 am

crosshair

it has been but they fight it tooth and nail

7:23 am

JBV

give them models of what to say and not say

7:23 am

JBV

yes, I understand

7:23 am

JBV

there has to be a certain level of trust among the group

7:23 am

crosshair

You should see the battle to get them up to do a presentation or group work

7:24 am

JBV

but it's wonderful when you see it happening

7:24 am

crosshair

then you run into the problem of one or two in a group having to carry several who just coast. hard to mark and weed out the ones who are just seat warmers

Continuous learning is fun and something we should all strive for. I learn new things every day:)

Good night Rose! Sleep sweet

7:33 am

JBV

forgive my ignorance but do you live in a French-speaking area

7:33 am

crosshair

if anything, i would re-learn french. Just the standard, run-of-the-mill Quebecois french. it works well enough overseas anyways.

7:33 am

I agree sukee

7:33 am

I am a 6 hour drive from Quebec

7:34 am

I speak French - but haven't had a chance to speak it in a long time

I watch French TV online sometimes just to make sure I can understand ti

7:34 am

But we have many areas that are predominantly French like the town of Timmins. We also has a CFB base that draws mostly those of Quebec descent

CFB?

Many northern communities have a large french concentration as well

my next language to learn should be Welsh so I can get a few more Babble words : )

7:36 am

crosshair

problem was that when i was in school French was forced upon us. The obvious result of this was that as soon as we finished out mandatory classes we ended up dropping it

7:36 am

JBV

at 8 - it's a plural

7:36 am

We watched the modern version of Sabrina, starring Harrison Ford last night. sadly, the mrs is very pick on her action movies, and getting one we both agree on is like pulling teeth:(

7:44 am

sukee

I was not a fan of the other movies, I prefer the original cast :)

7:44 am

car.eeyore

As far as I am concerned, they have to live up to Empire Strikes Back!

7:44 am

car.eeyore

REturn of the Jedi was also a bit painful.

7:45 am

Exactly, Empire Strikes Back was the best.

Audrey makes a much better Sabrina imho

7:46 am

I was on the radio the other day discussing the digital enhancements of those first three movies. They should re-release them as they were originally.

I like a good romance movie too, now and then.

7:46 am

I agree car, the originals were fine the way they were. I even saw them on a huge screen and they were fine.

Google came to my rescue

7:47 am

Wolvie

:-)

7:48 am

car.eeyore

The added scenes are useless. The films stand for what technology was available at the time...and it was amazing just the way it was. I remember that first scene of Star Wars with the Imperial ship flying across the screen and it still makes my blood pump.

7:48 am

Great, now we have all googled nightshade poison, it will look interesting if the police ever look at our browser history.

car.eeyore

FYI...they are playing some beautiful music on the Pandora Traditional Country Hymns station this morning.

7:56 am

I do not know why, but when you mentioned "Nerf herder" I got a mental image of Homer Simpson trying to herd a field full of those chia pet sheep..see? this is what the 70's did to me:)

ty molly I just got it to work

Of course there is no definition for that word, because Enable can't be bothered with such things

9:04 am

MLFAN17

too fancy for them

9:07 am

MimiCat

Is my puzzle different? I don't have an F in it at all.

9:07 am

MLFAN17

no mimi it was for a clue

9:08 am

MLFAN17

LA8 is similar

9:08 am

MimiCat

So an f was given for a clue that has no f? Interesting choice. Glad I'm not totally going senile.

9:09 am

MollyL

fa5 and fa8 were used as "like words" for the la8. The clue said "now make that an la8"

9:09 am

MLFAN17

it makes sense though ot get the word mimi:)

9:09 am

MollyL

Of course all that was for naught since MLF just used the fa5 word

9:10 am

MLFAN17

lol I did:)

9:10 am

MimiCat

OK. Maybe too early here. Not seeing that at all either. More tea......

9:11 am

MollyL

It's probably just easier to spell the word out with *s

9:11 am

Anniebrook

no, molly, better to firgure it out and more fun

9:12 am

MLFAN17

it has a strange definition if you google it

9:12 am

going to change a shower curtain, bbs

9:15 am

How many psychologists does it take to change a shower curtain? Only one...but it has to really want to change.

9:16 am

MLFAN17

mimi did you try it and it didn't work out the way you wanted it to?

9:17 am

MimiCat

Nope...just let that one go. No energy this morning...not much sleep last night. I never get them all anyway. I just play for fun and the chat.

9:17 am

9:17 am

I can't stand dealing with curtains of any kind. Or blinds. Two of my most hated household chores.

9:18 am

MLFAN17

i don't mind curtains but then again i don't take them down or put them up

9:19 am

MLFAN17

Blinds hardly ever want to cooperate

9:20 am

MimiCat

I hate all household chores except cooking---sometimes. I'd rather work a couple of hours more doing transcription and pay someone to do that. My best friend of 49 years and I were great roommates when we were young....she loved to clean and I loved to cook. We joke that we'll be together again when we get really old, rocking in our chairs on the porch, sharing memories, and telling each other the same stories over and over...and they'll seem new each time!

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Chores get in the way of enjoying life, yet they are necessary...sigh.

9:24 am

MimiCat

Not as necessary if your standards are low!

9:25 am

MollyL

The only people I know who don't do housework are the ones with rich husbands : D

9:25 am

Scrabbler

I have come to tolerate dust and clutter more and more as I get older. Priorities change with wisdom.

9:26 am

MimiCat

They still do "housework," just a different "type!"

9:27 am

MimiCat

Me, too, Scrab. I live alone and if I'm not in the mood to clean, I just tell myself that, hey, I've already seen it dirty so it won't hurt to wait another day!

9:27 am

My kinda housework..

9:27 am

Oh I don't know Mimi, I have a feeling some of them don't do too much of that "work" either.

9:28 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Ruru.

9:28 am

grant

clue for la8, anyone?

9:28 am

MimiCat

You may have a point, Molly. Guess it depends on how old the husband is and how fond he is of "outside interests."

9:31 am

Would being naked with just an apron on be too obvious?

9:33 am

Loving the imagery, ruru..........

9:40 am

Yeah. It isnt my fave either

9:40 am

Actually, this started with me saying I was going to change my shower curtain

I was just hit with a nasty malware attack. over 30 hits according to Malware bytes. It disabled both my browsers and corrupted Chrome O.S forcing a re install. I was fortunate that I already had malware bytes installed otherwise I would have had to wipe the hard drive and re-install win 7:(

6:56 pm

Show how useful some security programs can be:)

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

wow crossy! at least you know what to do

6:57 pm

crosshair

Indeed, bugsaw.

6:58 pm

Must be a new improved one to kill both browsers like that

6:59 pm

crosshair

I will have to get the premium version of malwarebytes soon so I can have active scanning.

7:00 pm

rururocks

how did the malware attack you?

7:02 pm

crosshair

I use stumbleupon and visit many sites. it comes with the territory

7:02 pm

crosshair

Sooner or later you will get hit

7:03 pm

rururocks

oh.. I guess those porn sites are dangerous :D

7:03 pm

is malwarebytes a program to protect or to find them

hi bugs

to find and remove them. the premium version adds real time protection

7:05 pm

Bugsaw

probably costs a lot too tho, right?

7:05 pm

Interesting that Microsoft security essentials let it though...

Don't know, bugsaw. i am content with the free one> I have no issues cleaning up after the fact

that is close to free then. Thanks

Oops. Sorry. Typed in wrong box

Hi all and congrats, Dan

No. The free has no real-time protection remember

well done Dan. I am tired of this one so will wander off for a bit

TO, a most gorgeous day today. Spent time (and her money!) with a friend over at a design warehouse called Material Culture. What a cool place!

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yes, we held mardi gras dance there = but the icy weather prevented many from attending . did you eat there?

9:23 pm

JBsAnno

mkg, try a little pig, like in fake Italian

9:24 pm

wvteach

help with PO 6 before the mushroom please

9:24 pm

JBsAnno

No, too late to eat, the cafe was closed already, we had eaten at Iron Hill Brewery in Chestnut Hill, then walked the avenue and shopped the 'tiques at the top of the hill.

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am missing la 8

9:25 pm

grannyrose

wv, like a pea, past tense

9:25 pm

wvteach

LA 8 - add a extra vowel to people who poke holes in you

9:26 pm

JBsAnno

Hi wv, think of k-cups for your Keuring, they are po4, and the po you are asking for is past tense.

9:26 pm

wvteach

thnx rose

9:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty, teachy.

9:26 pm

mkg did you get the po7?

9:28 pm

JBsAnno

Sorry! My apostrophe is perilously close to the enter key on this mobile keyboard =O

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

so did you dine at their restaurant? I heard its good

9:31 pm

JBsAnno

No, but we plan on going back, and will try it then. My friend was assisted by the owner's son, who is also a partner in the business, and he was most accommodating. I fell in love with a chair there, if I had room in my dwelling, it would be here now!

9:32 pm

mkg

didnt get po 7. would love some clues for 7s and 8s please. i only have pr 7s and 8.

9:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would like to go there. it is neither an easy nor convenient drive from here

9:33 pm

JBsAnno

Well, that would describe most of Philly!

9:33 pm

JBsAnno

Hmm, mkg. Peas are in a po4. Make it past tense with a doubled letter in the middle.

9:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

that i s particularly out of the way. btw are you still where i saw you last?

9:35 pm

JBsAnno

No, I left there a few months ago, and am taking a break before heading out to the work force again. It's been nice to really take time for myself, and I truly appreciate being able to. Not retired yet, but can totally understand why people want to be!

9:36 pm

JBsAnno

Oops, mkg, peas are in po3! Sorry about that...

9:37 pm

mkg

ty for po. i got a six from that. past tense one. but nothing else. any other clues welcome please!

9:37 pm

JBsAnno

I need practice clueing

9:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, yes, change. big changes here as well. life choices,etc

9:38 pm

JBsAnno

Okay, there's another pr8 that is the name of a movie, and is another word for a hunter.

9:38 pm

mkg

i am not retired. sometimes i think i will want to retire and other times i say no way. so we will see what will be.

9:39 pm

mkg

hunter? hmmm.

9:39 pm

mkg

nope. i dont get it.

9:39 pm

JBsAnno

I still want to work in the workforce, I like being around people. Usually. ;)

9:39 pm

mkg

sorry

9:40 pm

mkg

premier is not in grid. so i dont see a movie.......

9:41 pm

JBsAnno

A hunter seeks pr4, that makes the hunter a pr8, the word you are seeking. (hunting? grin)

9:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

mkg:alien vs.pr8

9:41 pm

mkg

got a pr 8 which means someone who hunts. ty.

9:41 pm

mkg

got it. ty all.

9:41 pm

JBsAnno

See, TO, so clear, so easy! I like your clues.

9:42 pm

mkg

keep those clues coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! panting with expectation..............

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i rarely clue, but that one just fits

9:42 pm

JBsAnno

Yay, mkg! Please don't faint, though.

9:42 pm

JBsAnno

12 T's left...

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

jb, you are not in city?

9:44 pm

JBsAnno

Actually, in Chestnut Hill, right across the street is Montgomery County. I would love to get something even PT in CH, or in Center City, close to bus or RR lines.

9:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought of the new einstein, but not acessible via public transit.

9:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i need to get to green st store soon,with clothing rejects

9:48 pm

JBsAnno

mkg, there's a tr7 that also has that double letter combo in the middle, if you put the word "down" in front of it, it brings to mind people in hard situations, like war or famine.

9:50 pm

JBsAnno

Yes, the new Einstein is beautiful, but we don't really want 2 cars, and would need another just to get out there. Oh, and we did go to the Green St store, what fun! It's a really nice place, and I think the prices are reasonable for resale.

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

mkg, it's an extension of a tr4,5 word.

9:53 pm

JBsAnno

Whoo hoo! Fireworks :)

9:54 pm

Yay, wvteach, wtg!

9:57 pm

wvteach

what made you think about me? time for music festivals?

9:57 pm

JBsAnno

Yes, TO, saw you a couple of times in the chog in the last couple of weeks. I just took up Babbling again, and am loving it all over once more, but need to be judicious with chatting if I want to finish. Sometimes I would just rather chat!

9:57 pm

wvteach

just got back from spending 5 days in southern part of the state at a music workshop

9:58 pm

JBsAnno

But even though I've been a member since 2005, I haven't reached a million yet, so that's what I'm currently aiming for. It's good to have a goal.

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, what are you a music teacher, wv? (guessing from user name)

9:59 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, mkg, you making progress?

9:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:01 pm

JBsAnno

Heading to Stiddy's RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

10:01 pm

10:02 pm

stidmama

LOL plenty of extra for you, JBs

10:02 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, nice, wv! I have a hammer dulcimer that is waiting for me to tune up and start learning again.

10:02 pm

stidmama

teach -- I started playing percussion in January!! :-D

10:03 pm

JBsAnno

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, love how you take such good care of me, stid!

10:03 pm

stidmama

Not very good at it, but I am getting better! Also teaching third grade, so a lot of "new" things for me.

10:03 pm

stidmama

I would offer MJCLs, but it's a bit late in the day for that.

10:03 pm

wvteach

many of my friends play both lap and hammered - Saturday I was at a gathering that was half hemmered and half lap dulcimers with a sprinkling of other instruments (fiddle, guitar, bsnjo)

10:03 pm

JBsAnno

Would that be along the lines of banging your head on your desk, stid?

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

what?

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

what?

10:04 pm

JBsAnno

Yah, that's why there's decaf, right?

10:04 pm

stidmama

LOL JBs -- there are some Wednesdays that I truly wouldn't make it without my drums! LOL

10:04 pm

wvteach

what kind of percussion?

10:05 pm

stidmama

*shocked at the blasphemy of JB...*

10:05 pm

JBsAnno

wv, we lived in Tennessee (near Johnson City) for 7 years before moving to Philly, I loved the folk music there.

10:05 pm

wvteach

we all need our outlets - music of any kinds is a great one

10:06 pm

wvteach

Eastern TN is a great area for good music - but lots of music here in WV

10:06 pm

stidmama

apparently everything, teach. I thought I could do bass drum and maybe triangles or cymbals, but then the regular percussionist (it's a small community orchestra) was really really sick so I ended up trying to play all the parts on a drum set. *crossed eyes* making progress now that I have found a lovely used sn5 drum and a friend gave me a bass pedal (I use it with a cardboard box for a bass drum).

10:06 pm

wvteach

my son and DIL lived for three years in Knoxville - loved that area

10:07 pm

stidmama

I love dulcimer music, growing up in Virginia it was all over the place. That, and clogging, are the things I think I miss most about the tidewater region.

10:07 pm

wvteach

we have quite a number of steel drum groups here in WV

Blasphemy, flasphemy, gotta adapt to getting older. It's about making the choices that allow enjoyment of the experience that will not disrupt normal functioning. I can have my coffee and drink it too! a la Marie Antoinette

TO, from way back, Stidmama makes mochajavachocolattes that are out of this world. She would pass them out when the whirlpool was open. We are talking about the OLDEN days here!

I love steel drum music, too -- an artifact of my time in Puerto Rico as a child... actually have some on my tablet that I play for my students during work time.

Hey, even pixies can get overcaffienated, hee hee!

10:11 pm

stidmama

Lately, Grant (who is now working part time at my school) and I have been making coffee in the mornings before we drive in together... so I have that PLUS my jumbo mug of tea every day. Hoping the effects of the caffeine last until the end of the school year!

i just saw singer songwirete Paul Thorn in concert. I recommend him highly.

10:13 pm

stidmama

oh! JB! I have been writing a poem for each day this month! :-D On my blog. I can't write every day, and they aren't often well thought-out (more stream of consciousness), but it's a small goal that I am going to meet. :-)

10:13 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, nice, Stid. I'm currently a lady of leisure, not retired yet, but taking a break from the workaday world. It's been nice, and very much what I needed. I drink more tea now than coffee.

10:13 pm

stidmama

Oh, how nice to have a little time to oneself, JB! I have been dreaming of the days I might be able to carve out a little time on a regular basis.

Favorite singer songwriter was just here in locakl area (unfortunately while I was at the psaltery workshop) - Bill Staines - don't miss him if you have a chance

10:17 pm

stidmama

I am hoping to work summer school if my school has one, could use a little extra to help pay for Matthew (he is almost done with college, but not quite). But I also sort of hope they won't have summer school -- or won't want me. I could make gooooood use of the extra three weeks to clean the house and set up for the next year.

10:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

have seen him

10:18 pm

JBsAnno

We have some catching up to do, Stiddy, truly, but I take every day as a blessing, and am working to reduce my material things to lessen distractions and make more mental and physical room to welcome new thoughts and space to be.

10:18 pm

stidmama

Apparently Mr. Staines has another musician in his family! Looks interesting, too. *wishing for way more time*
