Hi katie

6:57 am

Lizlin

Oh! What's an IPP?

6:58 am

carleekat

individual proposal plan.. I present to a panel in a few weeks to get approval for research

6:58 am

sprite

hi Katie :)

6:58 am

Lizlin

Right - that I understand - just never heard the acronym before.

6:59 am

sprite

wow carlee! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

6:59 am

Lizlin

ac 7/52 pls???

6:59 am

Lizlin

nm found it

6:59 am

carleekat

oh thanks sprite. I am not terribly concerned..just a lot of reading..I need to sort out the methodology and theories but other than that.. is all good

7:00 am

Lizlin

Yes - hope it works for you - a lot of time going into that proposal.

7:00 am

Lizlin

What's the research?

7:00 am

sprite

Liz, start with a high playing card. Then end up with the last four of to put right, re7/52

7:00 am

sprite

right. Pulling a peri on me.

7:01 am

carleekat

I am looking at how pop culture is a tool to problemetise educational policy

7:01 am

carleekat

problematize* education policy

7:01 am

Lizlin

Guess so - I had the 7 after it so knew it must be similar - just had to find the right ending.

7:01 am

sprite

could you tell me a bit more, carlee? That went kind of over my head, sorry :(

7:02 am

Lizlin

Interesting but not sure I understand it.

7:04 am

carleekat

ok..traditionally pop culture has more or less absorbed colonial language and stereotypes... society, government, popular opinion and consumerism feed this pop culture beast and the thing evolves and moves ( I think of it as a giant amoeba)... but now with the advent of social media, crowdfunding and so forth pop culture is now beingused as a tool by the colonised to challenge the discourse that can act to shape education policy

7:04 am

Matches

clue for second be 5/18

7:05 am

carleekat

builders colour matches

7:05 am

hurshy

or anything else - it wouldn't have to be education policy, that just happens to be the thing you are studying. right?

7:05 am

sprite

no thanks, Matches, already have it

7:05 am

sprite

hiya hurshy :)

7:05 am

hurshy

hiya sprite

7:05 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the explanation.

7:05 am

carleekat

yeap exactly hurshy, i am doing me M. Ed so i am dealing with ed policy but yes..cross over

7:05 am

pam

hi, hursh!

7:06 am

hurshy

hello pam!

7:06 am

sprite

I am feeling very stupid right now, carlee, I still don't really understand it. Could you dummy it down for me, please?

7:06 am

Matches

sorry don't understand the clue

7:07 am

Lizlin

be 5/18 - sort of cream / brown colour

7:07 am

Matches

ty lizin good clue

7:08 am

Lizlin

No thanks to you Matches. I got it from your clue :)

7:08 am

Lizlin

Oh no - Carlee's clue - sorry. Thanks Carlee

7:08 am

carleekat

ok... here is an example... in canada.. we have a tradition in policy ( particularly education) that our first nations people are only smart enough to get a high school degree.. and the language of policy still reflects that... but with social media.. artists, television shows, pod casts, you tube, hip hop artists,and authors are challenging those ideas with their artifacts and proving ed policy wrong... they have their own ideas about education and what that means... and sooner or later those ideas become more mainstream challenging the stereotypes

7:09 am

Lizlin

Tired - going to leave my final 16 words til tomorrow. Enjoy your days everyone. Hugs Sprite and others.

7:09 am

carleekat

no problem lizlin... ( and after that am getting my coffee and tossing in a load of laundry...brb

7:10 am

good morning friends

9:35 am

Scrabbler

Hi Trif. You had a wonderful evening last night?

9:35 am

Trifioso

SO MUCH FUN scrabbler....they let us "help" raise the sails - let me tell you, there were eight adults hauling that sail with all our might, and it was HARD

9:36 am

Trifioso

boston looked AMAZING from the water, and the weather was perfect, and the people were (mostly) nice, and it was just lovely

9:36 am

Scrabbler

The ship is beautiful!

9:37 am

Trifioso

I have a tendency to uh, wander, so I was checking out all the nooks and crannies, above and below board. It was so wicked pissah

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Did you switch into pirate mode?

9:37 am

Trifioso

we sailed past the island where they filmed shutter island - creepiest place on earth. Seriously, scary as hell

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Or Mayflower traveler?

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Is it inhabited?

9:39 am

Trifioso

the city was golden last night. Everyone was loving the summer vibe, kids playing in fountains, musicians everywhere....we ended up in this little underground bar with ice cold craft beers (I dont' drink beer, but whatever) and a couple of guys playing guitar and ripping amazing covers. it was such a great night

9:39 am

Trifioso

AND it was July 11th, i.e. 7/11, so we even got free slurpees!

9:39 am

Scrabbler

A golden experience which leaves you feeling high.

9:39 am

Trifioso

yes, the ship has a live aboard crew, but you can also private charter it for groups of up to 12. which I am TOTALLY doing once I win the lottery

9:40 am

Yes, life will be easier once we win the lottery.

9:43 am

Trifioso

he is absolutely beautiful, scrabbler! I adore the photos you have been posting. three is a pretty good age, I find....

9:44 am

Trifioso

they are so full of fun, and wonder still.

9:44 am

Scrabbler

My favorite age group = 2.5-6---exuberant, candid, profound, full of wonder. He is an absolute joy to be with.

9:45 am

Trifioso

tbh, I am not so in love with 4. tend to be a bit too obstinate for me.

9:46 am

Trifioso

I wish he, and you, could see this fountain they installed for kids in a park in boston. Let me see if I can find a link....

9:46 am

Scrabbler

Too many kids become sassy and bratty by 7 or so, although I still see delightful 7-9 year olds in my office. I dislike adolescents, unless they are really good kids, but those kids are not the ones that need me as much.

I think Featherbee posted pics last summer when she visited with her family and met Pam.

what exactly is that?

11:06 am

MollyL

Steak, coated like fried chicken and deep fried.

11:07 am

bichon

Just thinking of the fat and calories. Must be good

11:08 am

It's very good, but one of those things better off eaten once in a great while.

11:08 am

bichon

Coming from one who eats mustand on frieds and everything else

11:09 am

TraderKate

Up here they add gravy to it as well, is that the proper way to serve it Molly, or is that just a Northern thing?

11:10 am

never heard of that bichon.. mayo, but not mustard...

11:12 am

It's a NY tristate thing. I grew up in Brookly and Long Island

Mr. Bich is repelled by the whole thing. I say donkey to rhyme twith monkey

LOL, yes! bring that heart atttack-on-a-plate this way! I've never had it, but it sounds decadent :)

11:15 am

Bich, I know people who dip fries in mustard. I also know people who dip them in mayo. Some people even dip them in milkshakes.

Well Kate, sometimes a person can only eat so much yogurt and quinoa.

11:40 am

MLFAN17

<--has never had poutine

11:41 am

MollyL

Cheese turds is priceless
: D

11:41 am

penquis

they have more flavor the more you chew them.....similar taste to mozzarella, i think....

11:41 am

TraderKate

Poutine is a French-Canadian delight that has migrated to the rest of Canada

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. i need a laugh this morning.

11:43 am

TraderKate

It is not the most visually appealing food, for sure - but the flavour more than makes up for it

11:44 am

MLFAN17

Doesn't everyone like cheese?

swmbo

hello Babblers. enjoying the food discussion. I have noticed myself that food that is out of my experience often looks like something someone threw up LOL. Poutine I do not care for but those who do really seem to like it.

11:54 am

TraderKate

hi sw :)

11:55 am

MollyL

True Swmbo, that is a good way of putting it...food that is out of your experience. I'm sure those who find monkey brain a delicacy would wonder why some of us balk at the very idea.

11:55 am

swmbo

exactly

11:55 am

TraderKate

Well put!

11:56 am

penquis

steamers look disgusting to some people...yummy!

11:57 am

TraderKate

what is a steamer?

11:57 am

swmbo

What is more horrifying to look at than a lobster?

11:57 am

penquis

steamed clams....eaten with melted butter...

11:57 am

penquis

yes, the first person to eat a lobster must have been hungry!

11:58 am

TraderKate

lol!

penquis

ha...

12:02 pm

penquis

didn't have a n'ocean about what they were doing, ru....

12:03 pm

rururocks

I think foods like shark fin soup and turtle soup should be banned

12:03 pm

rururocks

I would think it'd be a real bisque to be a lobster on the east coast

12:04 pm

rururocks

sorry risk :D

12:04 pm

they crab too much as it is...

12:04 pm

npr news item this morning about deforestation free palm oil. doesn't everything we raise do something harmful to someone?

12:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

or something?

12:07 pm

rururocks

yes..

12:07 pm

TraderKate

true TO, it is such a delicate balance - it doesn't take much to throw everything out of kilter.

12:08 pm

rururocks

we are a very wasteful society unfortunately

12:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is a delicate balance indeed.

12:13 pm

Judi

Hiyas, Kiddos!

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

hello judi

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

we missed a bunch of food chat

1:01 pm

Judi

Just as well. I had brunch recently. Quite full.

1:03 pm

Judi

So, how are things going for you, Ruby?

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

I feel optimistic about my cancer but pessimisttic about my husband

1:09 pm

Judi

Hmmm. What is the diagnosis on your cancer?

1:10 pm

bichon

Hi ruby. How goes it

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

it's metastasized breast cancer (25 yrs old) IN MY STERNUM AND RIB, BUT MY ONCOLOGIST SAYS IT'S TREATABLE

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

sorry, didn't mean to shout

1:11 pm

Judi

S'okay. Wow. Scarey, but good to know they can treat it. Chemo? Radiation? Surgery? All of the above?

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

I've been watching the Tour, so it's not bad

1:11 pm

bichon

so 6/27, pls

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

possibly just pills and shots for the pain. Maybe chemo, but I don't mind

1:13 pm

MollyL

so6...so + whatso....you do, to the least of my brothers

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

nifty clue, thanks, Molly

1:14 pm

bichon

ty

1:14 pm

Judi

Well, that doesn't sound too bad. Starting treatment right away I imagine?

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I'll know next week and hopefully it will be soon. I'm tired of the pain

1:15 pm

MollyL

So Ruby, why pessimistic about your husband?

1:16 pm

Judi

Sorry to hear not so good news on your husband's part. Sorry if I'm making you repeat any of your latest news.

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

He's getting worse very fast and it is very hard to get him to cooperate with a care situation. How did you manage it, Molly?

1:17 pm

MollyL

Well, I did not have a live in situation with my Dad. Once it was clear that he couldn't live unassisted, and that my Mom couldn't manage his care, my sister and I got him into a place that could care for him.

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

I'm taking him to see the local place tomorrow and for a total evaluation on Thursday. There's a twice-a-week day care possibility, if I can get him in

1:19 pm

MollyL

As for cooperating, he was VERY resistant to it at first. But we had to get him somewhere that he would be safe and that would give him the best treatment possible.

1:19 pm

Judi

Is a nursing home an option yet, Ruby?

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

The local nursing home has a day car plan but they may not accept him because of his poor language skill

1:21 pm

MollyL

I don't know Ruby. My first reaction to that is that it is unacceptable. He should not be denied care because of his language ability.

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

I've been in my studio for about 30 minutes and he has telephoned me about 10 times and been down here twice and to the kitchen 4 times while I was cleaning up

1:22 pm

Judi

?? That sounds odd. Nursing homes here a full of residents who cannot speak due to stroke or other disability.

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

You're right, I hadn't thought of it that way

1:23 pm

Judi

Obviously he's still mobile.

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

He is smothering me and sapping my energy

1:24 pm

MollyL

People with declining mental abilities become child like. The kind of behavior you just described is typical of a child, who needs lots of attention when their caregiver is otherwise occupied.

1:24 pm

MollyL

Like the kid who starts acting out when Mom is on the phone. (Mothers everywhere know this ploy)

1:24 pm

Judi

True, Molls. Maybe he would like some Crayolas and a coloring book?

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

At least I've started the wheels turning because this will not be an easy summer for me

1:26 pm

MollyL

Ruby, it is a hard decision to make. But when you have run out of options, and I think you have due to your health concerns, it becomes time to move someone to an assisted care facility. No one wants to do it, but it needs to be done nonetheless.

1:26 pm

Judi

I have to agree with Molly, Ruby.

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I agree and am trying to get his daughter to come back and help me with this

1:27 pm

Judi

Where does his daughter live?

1:28 pm

MollyL

Oh Ruby, I feel bad for you. His daughter has been there, your son has been there and it seems they are not very helpful. Maybe the daughter will figure out a way to manage this, this time.

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

California

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

and I have to pay for her ticket!

1:29 pm

Judi

Is she that strapped for cash, or she just doesn't want to commit herself?

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

Good night ladies and thank you for your advice

1:30 pm

Judi

Okay, Ruby. Get some rest! {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

1:30 pm

rubyfoo

She's 65 and doesn't work; I don't think she'd come here otherwise

1:31 pm

Judi

On that note, the eyelids are demanding a nap. Off I go. *POOF*

3:30 pm

Well, for me, the beach became work for four years. it takes the magic away

it may help to hold a pillow against chest... reduces the movement during inhalation. you really should get an xray, incase anything else is affected...

4:27 pm

Bugsaw

oooh jane. I had broken ribs and they hurt a lot because they can't be stablized properly.

4:27 pm

Bugsaw

problem is, they could pierce a lung or something else valuable in there so a doctor and an xray are VERY important.

4:27 pm

TraderKate

ERs are usually a bit quieter at dinner time.

4:27 pm

harpjane

found an ungulate

4:27 pm

ch1212

Harp, please take him in. {{ hugs }}

4:28 pm

Bugsaw

hi ch1212. long time no see

4:28 pm

harpjane

Can I please wait until tomorrow?

4:28 pm

harpjane

He doesn't want to go.

4:28 pm

harpjane

hi chch

4:28 pm

harpjane

found venison

4:29 pm

Bugsaw

does he know what kind of a risk he is taking by waiting until tomorrow? that may change his mind

4:29 pm

TraderKate

concencus seems to be take him in.

4:29 pm

ch1212

(sigh ... men, she says, sounding completely sexist.)
Hi Bug, and all.

4:31 pm

ch1212

Maybe at least call the doctor or whoever is on call this weekend, and run it by them?

4:31 pm

TraderKate

hi ch :)

4:32 pm

TraderKate

jane... doesn't really matter if he wants to. is the ER far?

4:32 pm

Bugsaw

good compromise ch1212

4:33 pm

TraderKate

yes.

4:33 pm

harpjane

He's a big wimp because he never has any pain. He was amazed at how much I knew about moving, etc. when you are in pain.....

4:33 pm

harpjane

But this is truly bothering him.

4:34 pm

Bugsaw

remind him it will get worse during the night because you move in your sleep and that sets it off again. it is also when punctures could happen before he fully wakes up

4:35 pm

ch1212

Harp, I think it's okay if you call the doctor and say you are needing some information and reassurance, because he wants to wait, and you're concerned. That way you get the info you need, and if the doc says he needs to come in now, you can hand the phone to your beloved.

4:35 pm

Bugsaw

I sure wish you both well in whatever decision you make. A broken rib does hurt

4:35 pm

Bugsaw

but a punctured lung hurts more

4:36 pm

TraderKate

or a torn pericardium

4:36 pm

cybernan

so 6 please

4:36 pm

Bugsaw

ER rooms don't charge more on weekends do they? I can see how a doctor might not like it but an ER should be good.

4:37 pm

ch1212

Most insurance companies have a number you can call to speak to a nurse for free.

4:37 pm

TraderKate

nan.... and they lived happily **** after

4:37 pm

harpjane

No, it's mostly the hassle. It takes 5 hours by the time they see you.... I'm going to call a fellow cyclist who is also a nurse.

4:38 pm

There you go, harp. You get the info you need to make an informed decision.

4:39 pm

when in doubt it's better to be safe than sorry

4:39 pm

Well..... Daughter of Soodle hit the town last night, as was expected. What wasn't expected was that 4 friends accompanied her home in the small hours. So, I had breakfast organised for 4, but there were actually 8. It was a case of the loaves & fishes.... But nobody went hungry.

pierogies are different than knishes.... mashed potatoes (with bacon, onion, cheeese) in a half circle piece of dough - similar to pie dough.. then boiled to cook and if you likje, then panfried in butter with more onions and bacon, seerved with sour creeam - Ukranian dish

Amish food is the best. We have an Amish market here and the smell of the food cooking knocks me out every time I walk in the front door.

8:36 pm

cosdem

Thats the thing I miss most about living there. That and seeing bears in the wild on a regular basis was pretty cool

8:36 pm

rururocks

8:37 pm

rururocks

cosdem

9:03 pm

TraderKate

TraderKate

9:10 pm

cosdem

oh idk he hasnt been to work today or yesterday and his days off are tues/thurs.. hmmmm makes me wonder

9:12 pm

TraderKate

ah... so the nice dinner was a prelude to the bad news - smoothing the way a bit? He may have traded shifts for some reason.

9:13 pm

cosdem

I doubt it. His car isn't here. He left it at a friend's house. Ryan and I talked today and when I go back to work it's time for us to move.

9:15 pm

TraderKate

Damn! Well, I hope it's not as bad as you may be imagining.

9:15 pm

cosdem

Would be his 6th job he lost this year so not exactly surprised.

9:22 pm

TraderKate

Ouch! sorry cos, I didn't know about any of this. didn't mean to open a can of worms. Is that why you mentioned that you two will be moving soon?

9:22 pm

mrpresident

afternoon everyone :)

9:23 pm

cosdem

yep .. plus we need our privacy. i would like to spend time in the living room rather than be in my bedroom all the time

9:23 pm

cosdem

The problem is we also have Red Dog.. a massive dog with an even bigger heart... this place has a nice big yard for her... so.. idk

9:24 pm

cosdem

hello mrp!

9:24 pm

mrpresident

oh cos, having to move is icky... can you two get a play of your own?

9:24 pm

mrpresident

((hugs)) cos :)

9:25 pm

cosdem

we can afford it but its a hassle.

9:25 pm

cosdem

my car is nearly paid off .. (a year early) so we can afford more in rent soon.. we shall see.

9:26 pm

TraderKate

Hi mrp :)

9:26 pm

mrpresident

hi kate :)

9:27 pm

mrpresident

back to look for 75 words ... and chat of course :))

9:27 pm

TraderKate

moving costs an awful lot in initial layout too... is it really worth it? perhaps trim the budget in other places?

9:29 pm

mrpresident

I have several friends who just refuse to live with flatmates... too many bad situations.
one friend of mine is so keen on having a waterfront view, he takes in flatmates that end up causing a lot of problems. Latest one thinks she can come into his bedroom and ask for 'favours' LOL! whether is is alone or with someone. Just frightening!

9:30 pm

cosdem

probem is hes ryans brother so hes family which complicates things

9:34 pm

TraderKate

that does put a crimp in things...

9:35 pm

cosdem

it'll get better once I go back to work and wont have to sit here all day all the time

9:36 pm

TraderKate

yes, veryone needs at least a bit of "alone time".

9:37 pm

cosdem

2 1/2 months is just too long for vacation. 30 more days to go..

9:38 pm

mrpresident

wow that is a long vaykay... why so long cos?

9:38 pm

TraderKate

I must sign off now, very tired - long day ahead of me tomorrow. I'll see you tomporrow cos, try not to worry too much.
niters mrp, sorry I couldn't stay any longer, the sleepies hit me rather suddenly.

9:39 pm

cosdem

9:40 pm

mrpresident

9:40 pm

cosdem

Ridiculous if you ask me.

9:41 pm

cosdem

The last school I worked in had a year-long calendar with only 4 weeks off in June. I loved it.

9:45 pm

mrpresident

we have about 7 weeks off for our summer... december and january

9:45 pm

mrpresident

9:47 pm

cosdem

I always think how strange it must be to have Christmas over summer but then I remember it must be strange for you to think about christmas during winter right?

9:49 pm

mrpresident

I've had both cos, I love them both!
Spent time in Europe and Canada during christmas. Just lovely

9:50 pm

8 now...

11:08 pm

Jadeomoan

:)

11:09 pm

stidmama

how are you?

11:12 pm

Jadeomoan

Taking a break from apartment hunting! Gotta move closer to Cierra's college, and it's proving difficult to find something.

11:12 pm

stidmama

that's rough

11:13 pm

stidmama

is it more expensive there?

11:13 pm

Jadeomoan

Depends on where you look. Closer to the college, it's expensive!! But if you look in the outlying areas in the 'burbs....it's more manageable.

11:16 pm

stidmama

sounds normal

11:17 pm

Jadeomoan

The apartment here is 95% packed already, in anticipation of the move...but now we just need a place to move into!! LOL.

11:18 pm

stidmama

that's good -- getting ahead of the game!

11:18 pm

Jadeomoan

Exactly! As soon as we get in somewhere.....we're ready to go...
