4:29 am

4:30 am

sprite

4:31 am

grannyrose

it is sprite. and i even helped don to unpack and put away our supermarket shopping.

4:31 am

sprite

nice! So happy for you.

4:32 am

grannyrose

one day sprite. you will be well again.

4:32 am

grannyrose

btw, didn't you tell me that it as your last night shift for a while?

4:32 am

sprite

am so much better than I used to be, darling. I don't complain. Am grateful for the end of the chronic depression, so much.

4:33 am

sprite

hehehe no, time flies, honey. I didn't have shifts in july. Have been back into the shifts since the start of august.

4:34 am

grannyrose

ugh.... that's not a nice picture. having done 10 hour night shifts for 5 continuous years, i feel for you.

4:35 am

sprite

sweetie, it is volunteer work. It is my choice to do this. They are shifts of 4 hours for telephone, and 3 hours for chat. I try to plan them well, with the day after a night shift free. I am fine.

4:36 am

grannyrose

good. so you are going to play the lady, and sit/lie with your feet up for the rest of the day?

4:37 am

grannyrose

<-------- sending someone to sprite's to peel her grapes

4:37 am

sprite

still working on my room. Planning on cleaning out one or two more boxes today. Will endulge in a nice nap this afternoon though.

4:38 am

grannyrose

grrrrrr..... you need to rest up honey.

4:38 am

sprite

I will. Most of the time :) You wouldn't believe the amount of work this room needs. Every day a little bit will still take ages, so I have to keep it up.

4:39 am

grannyrose

so whe is your first client booked in?

4:39 am

grannyrose

*when*

4:39 am

sprite

they still haven't called :(

4:39 am

grannyrose

:-(

4:40 am

sprite

will go to my teacher on august 31, with a model to sit for me. That at least is going as planned :)

4:41 am

grannyrose

mind you, you will probably want your room ready before they call so that you can say, whenever uoy like to your clients.

4:42 am

sprite

oh, I made a basket with little gifts. When a client leaves, they can pick one gift to take home

4:42 am

grannyrose

4:55 am

sprite

4:56 am

Noticing the wave of the future here in the schools. the learning centre I used to volunteer at now has ONE teacher instead of six or eight. All courses are now in a computer module format. One big room, one teacher, and 50-100 students taking ten or fifteen different courses all in a single room. :(

11:17 am

MLFAN17

I am sorry cross but that is completely insane and ridiculous

11:18 am

MLFAN17

what age group of students are they again?

11:18 am

crosshair

yes, there are still "online" teachers for course-specific help, but only one teacher in the flesh as it were

11:18 am

crosshair

18-25's mostly. Kids missing credits for graduation or needing college or uni prep courses

11:18 am

MLFAN17

I would not want to be that teacher would you?

11:19 am

crosshair

Nope!!

11:19 am

MLFAN17

:D

11:20 am

MLFAN17

were all the other teachers fired or transferred ?

11:20 am

crosshair

I would not even wish to do T.A duties in that type of learning environment.

11:21 am

crosshair

Two retired, rest transferred. I think the two were close anyways and saw the writing on the wall.

11:21 am

MLFAN17

yeah ou might be doing just as much work as the teacher

11:21 am

MLFAN17

did the rest get transferred where they wanted or had no choices?

11:23 am

crosshair

I feel bad for the kids, but i am sure they will adapt. personally, I am glad i got my college and uni prep course in a more traditional classroom setting before it was gone for good. I think it was a case of transfer, quit, or retire. I do not think they had a choice as to the transfer location.

11:25 am

Additionally, many of the computers are donated models that were given to the school board by large corporations upgrading employee towers/laptops. they are sent to a refurbishing company, they given to the schools in the area.

11:33 am

I am still a little sad over the loss of all those teachers :(

11:34 am

MLFAN17

cross it is wonderful the computers were refurbished and donated

11:34 am

yeah getting rid of all those teachers seems so unfair

For my university English prep course, I had the option of doing the entire thing online, but I did not do so. For me, environment plays a large part in writing of that sort. I felt that I could do better with the human touch--an actual living, breathing teacher to bounce ideas and concerns off of.

11:38 am

MLFAN17

if I had to write something I would want to put it on a piece of paper first

11:38 am

MLFAN17

but also get that feeback as well

11:38 am

crosshair

I took two classes that way: EWC4U and ENG4U. I must say the experience is not one that I will soon forget, and it has changed the way in which I write in a very positive way.

11:39 am

MLFAN17

the parts that you did via computer what did it do for you?

11:40 am

MLFAN17

I mean was it a program for writing or just the computer to use for your writing

11:40 am

MLFAN17

?

11:40 am

crosshair

Actually, I did all of it on computer; the research was online, and the writing itself was done in Microsoft Word.

11:41 am

crosshair

But the important part was having a teacher present.

11:41 am

crosshair

I have some nerve damage to my hands, so writing it all with a pen was not an option for me.

11:41 am

MLFAN17

always good ot get advice from someone who knows things

11:43 am

MLFAN17

11:43 am

Both were a full and proper courses. It was just my medium for the assignment was a computer instead of reams of lined paper as in years gone by.

11:44 am

crosshair

In a perfect world, there would be room for both teachers and computers. :(

11:45 am

MLFAN17

I prefer paper and humans thank you:)

11:45 am

MLFAN17

unless, the writing required me to gather info then a computer would be a dream

11:46 am

crosshair

The two most important things I took away from those English course was understanding the intricacies of APA and the perfecting of reference pages in that format, and secondly, of all things, stream-of-consciousness writing.

11:47 am

MLFAN17

nothing wrong with that

The rest is easy, because unlike mathematics, there is no black and white, no yes or no in English-- single answer above all else. If you can prove your point, and back it up with salient facts, you are correct.

Hello Babblers :-)

2:53 pm

hello soodle :)

2:56 pm

Soodle

Hey Blah :-). After 7 years of Babbling, I'm getting my head around US time zones. My daughter is doing a road trip round the States at the moment - currently in LA, so I have a small appreciation of time differences now. Mind = Blown!

3:10 pm

therealblah

I still need to use The World Clock to see the time differences, especially when we change our clocks here for Daylight Savings time and then back

Spanish bad guy? I've met one or two of those in my time, but they were called Juan or Julio, and were usually waiters in Majorca!

3:27 pm

hego

Sorry Champ. I was on the phone... She left NH on Saturday & spent a couple of (very hot n sweaty) days in NYC, before flying to LA. Because of those terrible fires, her plans to go to Vegas are in question. And Hi Zooz & West :-)

3:52 pm

westford

hi soodle I envy your girl as well

3:53 pm

westford

3:53 pm

Soodle

I nominate Zooz as the best cluer on Babble!

3:53 pm

westford

I second that

3:53 pm

Soodle

She sure did, West. She just had a blast! :-)

3:54 pm

3:54 pm

Soodle

We should form a fan club. Zoo's Clues!!

3:55 pm

hego

But he can eat whatever and as much as he wants! Rats!

3:55 pm

Soodle

Rofl, Hego!!! How in tarnation do you know if he is fat or thin?

3:56 pm

hego

He reminds me all the time. Do you think he's having me on?

3:57 pm

Soodle

Apologies, Zooz if you are still here. It's very rude of me to be speaking about you as if you weren't here.

3:57 pm

hego

lol

3:57 pm

Soodle

Gosh, I have no idea, Hego..... But you got me thinking..... Lol

3:58 pm

hego

I was assuming that he was here, actually.

3:59 pm

ChampFit

Dang it...she NEEDS to see Vegas!

3:59 pm

westford

we did a cross country trip once and saw Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon,

3:59 pm

Soodle

Thinking to self...... Maybe if I tell everyone on Babble that I'm a skinny-minny, I might turn into one???? Self fulfilling prophecy & all that....

4:00 pm

hego

Go for it!

4:00 pm

westford

I hit return too soon...the Painted Desert,

4:00 pm

westford

I did it again

4:00 pm

hego

lol Westie

4:00 pm

Soodle

She's actually booked into the Stratosphere, so she is really keen to get to Vegas.

4:01 pm

hego

Whoppee!!!

4:01 pm

westford

4:01 pm

Soodle

'Westford Returns'

4:01 pm

ChampFit

4:01 pm

westford

4:02 pm

hego

It is amazing.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Back in another life, me & the ex did a nightime helicopter flight over Vegas.

Bye Hego, tc hin

4:10 pm

lilliann

Bye West, was lovely seeing you very very briefly! :)

4:14 pm

lilliann

Hi Soods:-)I wish i could have travelled like your bairn. I bet she's having a whale of a time!

4:17 pm

Soodle

Me too Lil!!!!!

4:17 pm

lilliann

I would love to go the U.S but sadly i couldn't do Vegas.Too many flashy lights!!

4:20 pm

lilliann

Well, hopefully if i ever get to come and meet you we'll have an around the world party in a bar, showing pictures of where we'd like to visit and speak a word from that country and have a drink that they would drink and we'd be living the dream! :D

4:22 pm

Soodle

Lilli - on Saturday last I saw an English registered coach with Lees of Durham written on it. I made a mental note to self to ask you if it could have been Mr Lili, but I actually can't remember if I got around to asking you....

4:22 pm

lilliann

Also, we'd probably be tight assed or pissed as farts but we would have had a good time :-)

4:24 pm

Soodle

I'd put money on pissed as farts!!!!

4:26 pm

lilliann

Definitely not!! They normally do school work throughout the year and other trips.they actually take bairns to the school near us every day.The coaches are always dirty and the drivers wears t-shirts and jeans!.Hubby has been to your country loads of times this year but he drives a coach with Insight tours on it(Which is part of Trafalgar, which is actually a South African company)

4:29 pm

lilliann

Saying that, i can't put they're drivers down as i don't them and they do other tours through out the year and do dress better.

4:29 pm

Soodle

Well, now I know!! I'll be scanning any Insight coaches I see from now on!

4:31 pm

Soodle

So if Mr Lilli is accosted by a strange looking fat lady who pretends she is skinny - you can tell him to

4:31 pm

Soodle

So if Mr Lilli is accosted by a strange looking fat lady who pretends she is skinny - you can tell him to

'Relax! It's only Soodle'

4:33 pm

Soodle

Sorry for double post.

4:35 pm

lilliann

Sorry, i sounded like a right snob there...I have no problems with school drivers par say as they are doing a job but they do tend to speed up and down the street at times...talk of the devil, hubby on phone

4:35 pm

lilliann

I've told him, you'll accost him :D

4:38 pm
