Scrabbler

Car, hello darling!

7:26 am

dan2bit

thanks - we are still waking up early, but mostly over the jetlag

7:27 am

car.eeyore

Where did you go, Dan?

7:27 am

Scrabbler

What an adventure you had, Dan.

7:27 am

car.eeyore

Scrabs, any adventures planned for this weekend?

7:29 am

Scrabbler

My youngest sister arrived from New Jersey yesterday and we hiked for a while before it got dark. Today will rain so we are buying me some new bras, haha. I joke that they need to be designed and built at The Home Depot because I quite top-heavy.

7:29 am

Uneaixoise

hey scrabs! congrats, dan!

7:30 am

Uneaixoise

hey scrabs! congrats, dan!

Hi Une, how is your body recovering?

7:31 am

Trifioso

good morning friends. HORRIBLE nights sleep, ugh

7:31 am

car.eeyore

LOL...me too Scrabs!

7:31 am

car.eeyore

Oh dear.

7:31 am

Hello Luv!

Hi, all...so excited today. We are for to houston

7:32 am

Angelsong

Hi, all...so excited today. We are for to Houston

7:32 am

Trifioso

wow angel we can see! hahaha

7:32 am

car.eeyore

Hi Angelsong!

7:32 am

Uneaixoise

airbag bruising to chest is much better -- swollen left leg not so much

7:33 am

Uneaixoise

(that was an answer to Scrabs)

7:33 am

Uneaixoise

hello, all :-)

7:33 am

car.eeyore

Une, i am so glad that you are OK...despite the leg and bruising.

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

tx car :-)

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Good news for you, Une. Trif, I had 3 horrible nights of sleep after we signed up little Jax for pre-K. He is a late-talker and I worry about him so much.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Trif, can you nap today?

7:37 am

Trifioso

tertiare didn't say so much as a word until 3, scrabbler, and she is fine now. I get the worry factor though.

7:37 am

Trifioso

no, no nap time for me today. full day, every second booked

7:38 am

Scrabbler

He is progressing, I just worry that the teachers will not be patient or tolerant. He started preschool at 3 and they asked that he leave within 1 wk, but that was a teacher issue, which really angered us.

7:39 am

car.eeyore

oh my god...that is horrible.

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

good grief, scrabs!

7:39 am

Trifioso

the last grad course I took the prof was AWFUL, and as a result we all got lazy as anything. started a new class on Wednesday night, and the new prof is the total opposite - stickler for rules, will be testing us every week on the reading, 25 hours of observations and three papers to write...

7:40 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, that is complete unacceptable for a teacher to do! I would have been furious. did he find a better preschool to attend?

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, he was upset one day when no one could understand him and bit a kid so the penalty was expulsion. To me that was a failure of the teachers to understand young kids and to be patient with his development.

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

jeezomeez :-(

7:41 am

Trifioso

One strike and you are out? what sort of draconian policy is that?

7:42 am

Scrabbler

There were 2 teachers and 12 kids and the teachers said they were overwhelmed as they could not help a kid that could not communicate. We were so disappointed. He will return to the same school as it is a 2 minute walk from home. He is speaking better but is now at a 2.5, maybe 2.75 yr old level, and will be 4 in July.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

But he knew all of the letters at 33 months and can read all of the names of our solar system which is his obsession. No, he is not autistic.

7:43 am

Trifioso

are early intervention services available?

7:44 am

Scrabbler

He started speech therapy at 30 mo but it hasn't helped much. He is just a late talker. He fits the definition of the Einstein syndrome to a T.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

7:48 am

Trifioso

btw scrabbler, where do fall in the PANDAS controversy? true? false? overdiagnosed?

7:48 am

Scrabbler

New to me but when researching late-talkers I discovered it and Jax fits it.

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Probably true in some cases, but oversuspected. I have never seen a case, Trif.

7:50 am

Trifioso

I have had five students so far with the diagnosis - only one I suspect actually had something like what they describe.

7:51 am

Trifioso

from an educational perspective, it doesn't actually matter if it is true or not. If the parents get a doctor to sign off on it, we have to treat it as a sped case, and the parents can ask for whatever they want. that is how one family got to have their three children home schooled at the districts' expense.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

School anxiety and refusal are SO difficult to treat, especially when the parents enable the child to avoid school.

7:53 am

Trifioso

I just did a huge research paper on PANDAS and it was so sobering. half of these kids are on the wrong meds, either way

7:55 am

Scrabbler

What did you learn?

7:57 am

Trifioso

that half the kids have psychiatric disorders the parents don't want to face, so the parents put them on courses of antibiotics, sometimes for YEARS, IVG, and other means. the other half of the kids probably DO have PANDAS. and are on psychiatric meds they don't need, including blood thinners for tourettes, when what the really should be taking is a good course of antibiotics to get the titers in their basal ganglia down.

7:58 am

Trifioso

the pandas parent network is INSANE - I was looking at it from an educational perspective, and the things they expect from teachers are completely unreasonable.

8:00 am

Trifioso

one particularly frothy mom wrote an endless rant about how her daughter's teacher was "unworkable" because the parent had explained to the teacher that on certain days her daughter would need the accommodations in her IEP, but on other days she wouldn't depending on how high her Lyme titer was. but the parent was not having her daughter's Lyme titer reported to the teacher, nor even checked, the teacher was just supposed to intuit when her daughter needed the supports. In a public school class, with 29 students, 11 of whom were also on IEPs?

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I figured. So many parents do not prepare their kids for adulthood and, instead, enable them to remain stuck in toddlerhood--egocentric, throwing tantrums, having no emotional regulation.

8:02 am

Trifioso

at the end of the day, its a child's LIFE - it all made me so sad

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I was going to mention Lyme disease too as "chronic" Lyme disease is another controversial area of infectious disease in which some docs get rich from anxious folks.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I see it every day in my office, parents NOT preparing their child for emancipation and adulthood.

8:03 am

Trifioso

of course not! what does a helicopter do when the target flies away?

8:04 am

Scrabbler

And the other term is "snowplow parenting." Clear the way of all problems so your child never has to face adversity or challenge.

8:05 am

Trifioso

I hope Jax has a positive experience this time around. poor little guy

8:05 am

happy babbling...pretty simple grid

8:42 am

MollyL

Women seldom buy the right bra size. Get measured. It's the only way to get the correct fit.

8:43 am

MollyL

And invest in some comfortable bras. As they can be the most uncomfortable thing to wear if they don't fit or are of crappy quality.

8:46 am

penquis

i am heading out....down to 25 and it's slow going...bbl to finish...bye all...

9:30 am

rururocks

Missed your calling, so make the breast of it. :)

9:31 am

rururocks

damn.. lol good one hego

9:32 am

hego

Once in a while...

9:33 am

rururocks

I would be a careful measurer though...exacting if you will

9:33 am

hego

Bunny lady would be a challenge as she is quite well endowed.

9:34 am

rururocks

they'd come in handy if her kayak ever flips I guess

9:35 am

hego

:)

9:36 am

hego

I kid her about those flotation devices.

9:36 am

rururocks

see there ya go

9:36 am

hego

:)

9:39 am

rururocks

well. I can see this grid is also problematic after being so easy for a long while

9:39 am

hego

I flew thru the first 45 and then bang!

9:40 am

hego

Better go. Stuff to do. bbl

9:40 am

rururocks

ok bye

9:41 am

hego

Poof!

9:42 am

<---Just fainted at the idea of Ru measuring Scrabbler for a bra

9:42 am

rururocks

good morning darling ! :D

9:43 am

MollyL

Hello cupcake â™¥â™¥â™¥

9:43 am

rururocks

lol

9:46 am

MollyL

I'm good at this. I used to have a running bit with one of the guys I worked with that involved schmoopy, lovey-dovey phrases. Hence, he is the only one who ever got away with "Moll Doll".
: D

9:46 am

rururocks

name that noun.. which presidential candidate is in the grid

9:46 am

rururocks

moll doll. love it

9:47 am

rururocks

I can be RU Pooh

9:47 am

MollyL

Bernie, but we are doomed to one of the other losers I'm afraid.

9:47 am

rururocks

it's a catastrophe either way isn't it?

9:48 am

MollyL

Yes, and the nimrod American voters will make it another 8 year catastrophe instead of just 4.

9:49 am

poodletoes

uh oh politics

9:50 am

MollyL

*Puts out little satin pillows for the sensitive

9:50 am

poodletoes

some of us like to escape from politics here

9:51 am

rururocks

it's a quick discussion don't worry about it

9:51 am

MollyL

Golly gee whillikers, how's the weather?

9:52 am

rururocks

<---thinks for the next year politics are going to be hard to avoid

9:52 am

MollyL

Some of us like to avoid constant cluing here, but that never seems to make it not happen

9:53 am

puts out little satin pillow for the sensitve

9:54 am

rururocks

<--finished the s's one small miracle

9:56 am

MollyL

Ah, we love miracles Reverend Ru.
Hallelujah and Amen.

9:57 am

rururocks

down to 17 but now stumped

9:58 am

MollyL

Oh where are all the cheerleaders who would say
Go Ru Go!!!

10:00 am

rururocks

I'm afraid that wouldn't help me today

10:05 am

rururocks

ah a hidden plural

10:19 am

rubyfoo

hello

10:20 am

rubyfoo

__ this morning but stuck now

10:20 am

rubyfoo

88

10:21 am

rubyfoo

how can a plural be hidden unless it's ae or ii?

10:22 am

doseffing

... maybe it's all twisty ... or maybe the singular starts at one letter but the plural starts at another

10:22 am

MollyL

Stuck and stumped, and yet earlier someone said it was a pretty simple grid. Just goes to show the different takes from different players.

10:22 am

rubyfoo

hello dose

10:23 am

rubyfoo

Nobody has ever heard me say how easy a grid is!

10:23 am

doseffing

... only sarcastically .. .. afternoon ruby

10:24 am

MollyL

There are those who claim "easy peasy" for even the most difficult of grids for others. It is really a matter of perspective. I would never call a grid easy, just because that seems demeaning to those who find them difficult.

10:26 am

doseffing

... In eight years I've managed to complete two without using a list or clues ... ... nothing is easy until after you've seen the answer ... and this grid isn't going to be the third

10:27 am

rubyfoo

I've only finished a couple of time because Molly carried me across the finish line

10:29 am

doseffing

... is the tour going down your street this year ruby?

10:29 am

MollyL

I gave up trying to finish every day a while ago. I was devoting way too much time to this place. Life is so much more than that.

10:30 am

doseffing

... quite agree ... took up the same approach myself

I saw the route (I think) last summer and I don't think it will be close but it's better on television, anyway.

10:31 am

rururocks

I'm too OCD to not finish a grid

10:31 am

robwhy

I never finish. I just play until I run out of steam.

10:31 am

rubyfoo

Last summer was such a catastrophe, that it's hard to remember!

10:32 am

rubyfoo

Did you see my (clean) limerick yesterday, ru?

10:32 am

rururocks

no. I missed it sorry ruby

10:32 am

MollyL

I can see why OCD people would feel compelled to finish every day.

10:33 am

rubyfoo

your name is easy to rhyme

10:33 am

doseffing

... I know how you feel ... I haven't paid nearly the attention since Ryder Hesjedal won the Giro and then fell in the Tour and then got caught with some drug ... no one to cheer for any more

10:33 am

MollyL

Ruby, you need to rewrite. Ru's limerick should be dirty, dirty, dirty.
: D

10:33 am

rururocks

I just don't like most things to get on top of me molly

10:33 am

rubyfoo

I thought I was OCD but not about Babble

10:34 am

MollyL

Most things...yes...most things
ahahahaha

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I keep the dirty ones in my head -- they're too "easy peasy" to write since everything rhymes with luck

10:35 am

rururocks

I'm missing a b combo somewhere

10:35 am

MollyL

There was a young Ruru with luck...

10:36 am

rubyfoo

And Molly who hadlots ofpluck

10:37 am

rubyfoo

They played many word games

10:37 am

MollyL

Oh my, we had better stop right there. Otherwise we will have to get out the satin pillows again.

10:38 am

rubyfoo

And never did name names

10:38 am

rubyfoo

But Ruby is passing the buck

10:38 am

rubyfoo

hah!

10:41 am

rururocks

and ru managed to get himself unstuck

10:43 am

MollyL

Ah, done with pluck, without running amok

10:45 am

MollyL

DISCLAIMER: No old ladies or prudes were offended by these limerick lines.

10:45 am

rubyfoo

Amen

10:46 am

rubyfoo

I'm an old lady....and I'm alive!

hego

11:32 am

Judi

Such a manly grid.

11:32 am

There is a lot of good humor in The Simpsons. Which is why it has had such a long run.

11:32 am

I love Lisa the best.

11:33 am

MollyL

Lisa, the geek child.

11:33 am

Personally, I think exclamation points are so much more expressive than italics.

11:50 am

Judi

Okay. Time for clues. Mo6/21?

11:50 am

MollyL

I think exclamation points are expressive too. They are just WAY over used.

Judi

Uhg. Thanks, again.

11:59 am

periwinkle

it is good to do some type of exercise at least 3 times a week. I also went back to by Body Sculpting class cause I have friends there.

11:59 am

MollyL

Do you actually meet interesting people at exercise classes?

12:00 pm

Judi

Whispers: *Peri has a sweaty friend fetish*

12:01 pm

MollyL

I think regular exercise is great. I prefer walking to group sweat sessions.

12:01 pm

periwinkle

yes in the body sculpting class. which is in one gym. I also go to the Y and use the machines there and have not made any friends so far. maybe if I join one of the classes. I tried some of the senior classes at the Y and they were too low level for me. The other classes look too fast paced so I stick to the machines.

12:03 pm

1:10 pm

http://tinyurl.com/hob75kf its worth a read for the sheer wtfuckery. he won scotlsnd apparently

1:11 pm

Nef

Agreed. Here in MN we had our "celebrity" governor several years ago & we have finally recovered financially from him (Jesse Ventura). Lord help this country if Trump gets in.
The problem is that too many people get their news from the talking heads media on TV... :-(

1:18 pm

therealblah

i love farmer's markets...we have several nice ones in and around dallas

1:20 pm

rururocks

we have one here.. I never seem to get around to going there

1:21 pm

therealblah

i don't go very often, but when i do i come home with waaaaay too much produce

1:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually, it is the agricultural college market. they raise animals, wondering if they serve them. they advertised home smoked pork.

1:21 pm

Nef

We have a number of them here too. Our community has one that's every Tuesday evening during the summer; which I like to go to. But the problem is that our CSA basket comes on Wednesday afternoon; so if I buy something at the farmers market, I may end up with twice as much of 1 item and none of another (we don't know what we're getting each week for CSA, but it's usually nearly a bushel of veggies).

1:24 pm

therealblah

I'd like to find a CSA here. I think it would be fun to create good meals with "surprise" ingredients.

1:24 pm

Nef

TO, our ag campus (part of the U of MN) sells meats every Wednesday afternoon during the school terms. We can get any type of meats (beef, pork, chicken, and occasionally turkey) all packaged

1:24 pm

rururocks

what's csa?

1:25 pm

Atalante

whats CSA?

1:25 pm

Nef

Community Sponsored Agriculture

1:25 pm

rururocks

oh

1:25 pm

Atalante

thats neat!

1:25 pm

therealblah

you sign up and for a weekly or monthly fee, you get a basket of whatever fresh produce is in season

1:25 pm

Nef

We pay the farmer in the spring & get shares of his crops for the whole summer

1:26 pm

Nef

We paid somewhere around $500; and then for 20 or 22 weeks we get from 3/4 to a full bushel of whatever is ready that week

1:27 pm

Atalante

we don't have any farmes markets nearby but we have a local farmer who has a little shed with an honesty box in and he puts out whatever produce he has left over that day. gorgeous stuff

1:27 pm

rururocks

oh that's a great idea

1:27 pm

therealblah

it's a great idea, for the consumers and the farmer

1:27 pm

Nef

(you can get half shares too; but we do this with our son & also our daughter

1:28 pm

rururocks

I can do that with wine :D

1:28 pm

Nef

That might be interesting

1:29 pm

1:31 pm

1:32 pm

a goat is a great idea though

1:33 pm

I need to go do some work outside too. :-( it's cold here today so I'm not too anxious to start it.
