Hi all and congrats Diz and Ru

1:07 am

sprite

good morning all

1:08 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite - hope you're enjoying the weekend.

1:08 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* yeah all good here, except the darn weather. How about you and your beloved?

1:09 am

Lizlin

All good here - weather included :)

1:09 am

sprite

hehehe :) So unfair ;)

1:10 am

Lizlin

I was lucky to be able to choose where I live.

1:11 am

sprite

who knows, one day we will be too. Until then... we will endure dutch summers, grin. It is raining like it is autumn here.

1:11 am

Lizlin

Strange here too - the extremes are hard to cope with. It was 10 C when I went out this morning and 21 C when I went out this afternoon.

1:11 am

Lizlin

But I'm not complaining.

1:12 am

sprite

ugh, that is tough on a body

1:12 am

Lizlin

That's winter here, though there

1:13 am

Lizlin

there've been more cold nights than usual and more cloud than usual for winter. Usually we have clear blue skies in winter and more cloud in summer.

1:14 am

sprite

weather is a-changing all over the planet, it seems. Climate changes... you may end up with endless rains and we may get the lovely weather :D

1:14 am

Lizlin

Hm! No, I won't accept that!!!!

1:15 am

sprite

*smug* if the weather gods decide, your objection won't count

1:15 am

Lizlin

I'll protest! Loudly!

1:16 am

sprite

that should teach them

1:16 am

Lizlin

:)

1:18 am

sprite

I am lucky our dog hates rain. When we try to walk him while it rains, he steps out, looks up at us with an incredulous look in his eyes, turns around and steps back in.

1:18 am

Lizlin

Lucky for you!

1:19 am

sprite

absolutely. I see so many dog owners struggle through this weather, lol. I have the luxury to be able to wait until there is a break in the waterworks.

Lizlin

Funny how the brain works. I saw that really easily but I'm not seeing any of the 8s - and I'm not here much longer today, though I might get back later.

1:25 am

sprite

would you like a clue for the 2x8 I found so far?

1:26 am

Lizlin

That'd be good - thanks.

1:26 am

ah good, will try to find those then

1:27 am

Lizlin

French word! Wouldn't have tried them.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Nor would I have turned that group of 8 into a female group! Thanks on both counts.

1:28 am

sprite

1:28 am

Lizlin

I've got to go - 40 left for whenever! Have a lovely day.

Yard sales are too much work for very little cash in return.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

And you can't give away books

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Whenever someone visits, either an anglophone or a philossopher he leaves with an armload of books

4:19 am

MollyL

ev8 sounds like what happens when someone is kicked out of their home, but use a different second vowel

4:21 am

Judi

Says the Yankee.

10:51 am

MLFAN17

lol judi

10:52 am

Trifioso

can you confirm a rumour? I hear the southerners are making fun of us yanks for whining about our heat wave - sort of along the lines of "oh, poor babies, was it 95 degrees two whole days in a row?" Much like we northerners crack on you southern folks when you get 3" of snow and cancel school for a week. is this accurate?

10:52 am

MLFAN17

trif the snow part seems to be true for us here in nc

10:53 am

trif is the area you live in expecting any rain anytime soon?

10:55 am

Trifioso

I have a million things to do outside, but its just SO hot.

10:56 am

MLFAN17

pay someone to do it for you trif

10:56 am

lil*monkey

Trifi, I live in southeastern coastal Virginia, we've had 90+ degrees over a month now. I haven't heard anyone making fun of ANYONE who is experiencing the same heat.

10:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

I hear Hamilton lyrics everywhere.

10:56 am

Trifioso

not a drop forecasted in the next 10 days. people's wells are running dry. we are at least 5" below standard rainfall.

10:56 am

MLFAN17

trif ugghh

10:57 am

lil*monkey

Ugh is right! I understand, Trifi!

10:57 am

Trifioso

gypsy moth caterpillars in record numbers, no rain for forever, and yet there will still be millions of leaves to rake....the eternal mystery of nature

10:57 am

MLFAN17

lil, how is the weather there today?

10:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

no rain no rain no rain no rain

10:57 am

MLFAN17

trif kinda breezy where you live?lol

10:57 am

Trifioso

I feel like hiring a teen to do yardwork would be cruelty to a minor, at this point

10:58 am

lil*monkey

HOt & hazy, high noon here, temp is 86 but with humidity, feels like 92. And the temp usually peaks about 2 pm, so temp is still rising.

10:58 am

MLFAN17

teens will do anything you ask as long as they get the money

10:58 am

Trifioso

I feel you, lilmonkey

10:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

unless it's housework

10:58 am

MLFAN17

lil, about in the 80s here at noon as well and probably have high humidity

10:59 am

lil*monkey

Our heat wave is supposed to break tomorrow, with temps predicted in lower 80s for about 3 days. I will believe it when I feel it!

10:59 am

MLFAN17

that's true Kaplan lol

10:59 am

lil*monkey

mlf you are in NC?

10:59 am

MLFAN17

yes lil I am in nc

11:00 am

lil*monkey

I'm about 2 hours north of Nags Head.

11:00 am

I've heard the same "oh poor baby" stuff from those in the south about the northern people and the heat wave.

11:00 am

poodletoes

Left Yellowstone yesterday morning and had to scape ice off of car windows!

11:01 am

lil*monkey

I'm sympathetic to anyone who has to endure this heat!

11:01 am

lil*monkey

Oh poodletoes that is crazy!

11:02 am

lil*monkey

Ice cold frosty limeade with a shot of Jim Beam in it, is a great way to deal with the heat :) I'm just sayin

11:03 am

MLFAN17

molly whats the temp today where you live?

11:03 am

hurshy

as i understand it, pretty much everyone in the south and southwest has AC. that's not the case in the northeast. so, for some, it is worse.

11:04 am

MLFAN17

we have people here in nc that do not have a/c or heat

11:04 am

MollyL

Really Hursh? That is surprising. Temperatures in the northeast US climb over 90 often in the summer. I can't imagine anyone not having air conditioning.

11:04 am

hurshy

that sounds rough

11:05 am

MLFAN17

it happens everywhere Molly

11:05 am

i suppose it is generally the poorest folks to suffer the most.

11:07 am

MollyL

I'm sorry you are still sad about losing your cat Hursh. DId you make it home before that happened?

11:07 am

hurshy

yes, we got home last saturday, and she died yesterday.

11:08 am

MLFAN17

ohh I understand the loss of a few cats in my lifetime I think about them all the time still makes me sad but like most say, they are not longer suffering where they are now

11:08 am

MollyL

Well, at least you get to be home to deal with your loss.

11:08 am

Trifioso

I read an interesting article the other day that said the worst weather disaster in boston history was not (as expected) a blizzard or snow event, but a heatwave in the early 1900's where many died of the conditions in the tenements. all those long dresses, wool, etc....NO electricity, so no AC of any kind

11:09 am

hurshy

except that home isn't home, only lived here for a year, no family, no support system, don't want to be here

11:09 am

zi 7 - element + chemical ending

12:49 pm

wvteach

UV 7 - first 3 letters of UV 4/8 + most of the ending of the person who writes reviews of plays/shows

12:51 pm

wvteach

YI - change first letter in the word "I have been doing it S**** the beginning of time"

12:55 pm

Or, without the ****, a pie made at Thanksgiving y5meat pie

12:55 pm

should have thought of that - my favorite pie

12:56 pm

MollyL

Mmm, with hard sauce

12:56 pm

Atalante

hard sauce??!!

12:57 pm

MollyL

Yes...Hard sauce is a sweet, rich dessert sauce made by creaming or beating butter and sugar with rum, brandy, whiskey, sherry, vanilla or other flavorings.

12:58 pm

Atalante

ah ok. amused at the concept of a hard sauce

12:58 pm

Atalante

pretty much called white custard here

12:58 pm

Atalante

or rum sauce / brandy sauce

1:01 pm

MollyL

No surprise that it's called something different there.

1:03 pm

Atalante

we're good at being descriptive

1:06 pm

MollyL

Crosse & Blackwell makes a great hard sauce. I'm sure it is better homemade.

stidmama

hey all, down to 41 and about to list

9:10 pm

Bugsaw

stid!! how good to see you

9:13 pm

stidmama

good to see you, too -- how goes life in the wilds of the big island?

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

pretty good except for the heat. it wipes me out. Mr Bugs and the neighbour are hanging an awning cover for the back pation right now. If it works, it should help to cool the house

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

I am having to nap every afternoon so I waste a lot of the day

9:15 pm

stidmama

Went to school today, it stayed pretty cool there. it got warmer at the house, so I am glad I went.

9:15 pm

stidmama

Napping is good.

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

yes, I always forget how much sooner you get out and go back than up here

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

I am not tutoring any more but I have a couple of great=nieces who will begin home schooling so I may spend a bit of time with them and their Mum

9:16 pm

stidmama

That will be nice for you, I think.

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

yes, I don't want to make it a regular thing. Then it feels like another job

9:17 pm

stidmama

I am in the room more than I really want to be, because after LAST year I was too tired to clean, glean, and organize. After this month, I should be able to put my hands on precisely what I need, and I won't have so many things that I do not need hanging around taking up space. :-) It will make the actual teaching a lot easier.

9:17 pm

stidmama

Agree -- you'll want to be clear about limits!

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

also not my area of expertise academically because one is Grade 1 and the other Grade 5

9:21 pm

stidmama

uv 7 please?

9:22 pm

Bugsaw

no idea sorry but I will look for it

9:22 pm

stidmama

The grade 5 will be close to what you are used to teaching. The grade 1... it is helpful to know where she will be heading in the future, so you can help fill in gaps.

9:23 pm

Bugsaw

their Mum loves them to bits but she has learning disabilities herself and we know the elder child does too. I am a bit worried about how well it will go

9:24 pm

stidmama

You'll figure it out. What sort of accountability will there be for the mother since they are homeschooling? It's pretty variable in the U.S. depending on the state one is in and the parents' educational level.

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

they will have a teacher assigned to them who will provide the lessons, mark them and provide report cards. but the adult usually provides guidance and motivation.

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

I am not sure if Mum will know what the teacher is looking for as a learning outcome until I work with her

9:27 pm

stidmama

Ah, so it's not so parent-directed as in the states.

9:27 pm

stidmama

Then it is good you know what sort of questions to ask and can help them.

9:29 pm

Bugsaw

there are programs that are more parent directed but in order to graduate from Grade 12 with proper credentials, this is the best option.

9:29 pm

Bugsaw

nuts, 23 left

9:30 pm

stidmama

:-)

9:30 pm

stidmama

I am stuck on 34 with a bunch of big U words that just aren't making sense to me.

9:30 pm

oh... found 3!

9:31 pm

Bugsaw

listing usually helps me but so far, only 1

9:33 pm

stidmama

9:34 pm

stidmama

All the S and T now also

9:35 pm
