Thanks for in 7

1:04 am

sprite

1:04 am

Lizlin

Wow! Happy birthday Tim

1:04 am

sprite

without the ?

1:04 am

Lizlin

Sleep well jbp

1:05 am

hurshy

i'm so dense, sitting here going, there's no such thing as a 5/21

1:05 am

Lizlin

Counting hours yet or still days?

1:05 am

sprite

still days, but almost hours now, grin.

1:05 am

Lizlin

When do the hours begin?

1:05 am

sprite

will pass on the congrats to him, thanks!

1:06 am

Lizlin

Rose will count hours sooner - she has 24 hours over you because of the travel.

1:06 am

sprite

yeah :) So unfair, lol.

1:07 am

Lizlin

Bet she could do without it though :)

1:07 am

hurshy

i am 85% done

1:08 am

Lizlin

WTG - what's that in real numbers?

1:08 am

sprite

oh I bet. Not really fun, just long journeys. She will have a sleep-over in Dubai, just to cut the journey in more manageable parts.

1:08 am

hurshy

45 words left to find

1:08 am

Lizlin

I'd rather just travel straight through, with as little stop over as possible.

1:08 am

Lizlin

87 left here, so you're way ahead.

1:17 am

Lizlin

Wow. Long tantrum there!

1:21 am

sprite

red boxes of doom, ugh

1:22 am

Lizlin

Tantrum followed by red boxes :(

1:22 am

Lizlin

So are you all celebrating today or this evening?

1:22 am

sprite

yeah, it was a long one indeed. But looks like we are back in business :)

1:23 am

sprite

no, he has to work. If he gets off early enough, his friends will come here tonight. If not, it will be saturday.

1:23 am

Lizlin

I'm sure he'll have a lovely day, whatever he does.

1:24 am

sprite

it feels really special, our first child reaching his majority (is that correct? The age of being counted fully as an adult?)

1:24 am

Lizlin

Yes that's right.

1:25 am

Lizlin

Good that you feel special about it too.

1:25 am

sprite

maybe even more than the birthday boy himself, lol. He is very coooooool :D

1:26 am

Lizlin

:)

1:26 am

Lizlin

Once his friends start celebrating with him, he'll feel pretty good about it.

1:28 am

sprite

oh yes, for sure. He is a bit miffed he has to work today. Quite a good lesson to him, that an employer will not always give in to your wishes. Tim is used to charming his way. But this time, it didn't go as he planned. Healthy, even though I would have liked for him to have his birthday off.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Yes, it's easy to see both sides of that picture.

1:29 am

Lizlin

I'm lucky with a December birthday - school holidays usually began just before my birthday, so i rarely worked on the day. On the few occasions I had to work, can't say that I was happy about it.

1:30 am

sprite

if Haz were here, she'd sure tell me Tim has no business being 21. Some babblers have literally seen them grow up, through the years :) Time really flies.

1:30 am

Lizlin

It does - I remember you talking about his 18th. OK - not so long but still time flies.

1:31 am

sprite

when is your birthday again? And your beloved's? Could you please email me with them, if you don't feel comfortable saying in chat?

1:31 am

Lizlin

I'll email the dates.

1:32 am

sprite

awesome, thank you. Am updating our birthday calendar. I am useless with a calendar, I am ashamed to say.

1:34 am

sprite

useless withOUT a calendar. Ugh. Writing hard.

1:35 am

Lizlin

Done and I added a pic of our cockatoos the other evening - desperate to be fed, as ever!

1:35 am

sprite

oh how lovely! Thank you. I always enjoy your pictures so much.

1:36 am

sprite

they are adorable, the cockatoos.

1:36 am

grannyrose

{{sprite}} {{liz}} hugs and kisses.

1:36 am

sprite

so cheeky!

1:36 am

sprite

Rose! *hugsssss* my darling. How was your day? Still more preparations done?

1:36 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Rose - how excited are you now?

1:37 am

grannyrose

the after effects of four days of ketamine linger on. it is only 4 :35pm and i want to go to bed... loll

1:37 am

Lizlin

So nothing's stopping you. Go to bed and snuggle up. It'll be dark soon anyway!

1:38 am

sprite

then go, and sleep, and enjoy that lovely feeling

1:38 am

grannyrose

good gosh, liz, excited is not the word. i have butterflies in the tummy, worried i will forget something important.

1:39 am

Lizlin

No you won't. You'll be totally organised, I'm sure. When are you off?

1:39 am

grannyrose

go to bed she says, snuggle up she says. the bed is in pieces seeing as i stripped it this am to do the washing...

1:39 am

sprite

rose, darling: medication, passports, tickets, cpac. All the rest is available elsewhere. Don't worry.

1:39 am

flosey

not getting much, too tired! must get to bed, goodnight all

1:39 am

grannyrose

four morwe sleeps liz

1:39 am

Lizlin

Anyway as long as you've got Don, your passport and your meds - what else matters?

1:39 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey *hug*

1:39 am

Lizlin

Oh yes - tickets tool.

1:39 am

Lizlin

1:39 am

grannyrose

1:40 am

Lizlin

1:40 am

flosey

flosey

1:41 am

Lizlin

Got to go - need to put on something warmer apart from anything else. I'm sure I'll catch you before you leave, Rose, but if I don't, fly safe and I look forward to chatting to you in Europe!

1:41 am

1:45 am

grannyrose

thanx so much kam. xoxox

1:45 am

sprite

hiya Kam! *hug*

1:47 am

Kamanjah

Hiya Sprite! You'll have fun with company too...you ladies are going to have such a good time!

1:48 am

sprite

thank you! Yes we will. We have lots of fun things planned, but most important of all is being together.

1:51 am

Kamanjah

I'm looking forward to stories! We don't have plans for vacation...yet. We will go to Reno for the Air Races if we can, but so far, our health has been taking turns - hubby has a few off days, then I do...we'll get back to having ON days together soon, I'm sure. A minor car accident got in the way. Thank goodness it was minor, but it really shook hubby up badly. No physical injuries, just bad nerves and getting older...

1:52 am

sprite

oh Kam :( That is a shock to the system for sure. Glad it was minor, but I can totally understand how the shock lingers.

1:53 am

Kamanjah

His truck is in the shop till at least June 1, so he'll have time to chill - and borrow the "talking" car, lol! He has only driven it twice since that time it talked to me...and I still have figured out what button I hit, lol!

1:54 am

Kamanjah

*have NOT*

1:54 am

sprite

lol! Silly talking car. But good for your husband to go and drive again. Not let the trauma settle, as it were.

1:58 am

Kamanjah

He'll be fine, just felt stupid because he was local law enforcement for nearly 20 years, and a prior colleague came and took a report...I think he was just embarrassed it happened.

1:58 am

sprite

aw poor man. Accidents happen, even to law enforcement people... it is just the (bad) luck of the draw.

2:04 am

Kamanjah

Well, I have to get off to bed, have an early appointment tomorrow. I'm not even half way on this grid yet - we finally get a large grid and I have a busy day ahead!

And...stupid blind intersection of 2 highways - and only one has a stop sign and the through road has curves both ways. Mountain roads in Calif!

2:04 am

sprite

so many i words!

2:05 am

sprite

sleep well, Kam. Lovely to have seen you. Bad intersection! Not his fault.

2:07 am

Kamanjah

So many P words...lol! Lots of i words too. I hope I have time to get back to this grid tomorrow sometime, it looks fun! Take care, ladies!

2:08 am

sprite

you too, Kam. Have a good day tomorrow :)

2:10 am

Big grids are fun. Type away!

Hi ruby. How many people actually go to church on Ascencion

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Arf, arf, bichon.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

It is lovely and warm here and I've actually done a little work in the garden, if you can cll picking flowers and deadheading, work

6:11 am

rubyfoo

Woof, Bichon

6:11 am

Scrabbler

It will rain all day here. We have had a very rainy spring. :-(

6:12 am

rubyfoo

The Church is tthe village was actually open today. The old priest died and wasn't replaced so there are only funerals and the very occasional hoiliday masses

6:12 am

bichon

Actually, I'm glad it's been rainy. Any gardener would

6:12 am

rubyfoo

I am enjoying the heat after this cold winter

6:13 am

Scrabbler

We have had too much rain as flooding has been a problem in may areas.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

When I lived in Binghamton, the Susquehanna flooded every year, sometimes part way up my street

6:15 am

bichon

We are so high up from the Connecticut River that I don't have that problem

6:16 am

rubyfoo

It was only a problem for the local hospital and for people who lived too close to the river

6:16 am

rubyfoo

My apartment was in a 19th C. house with a view of the river, but no risk

6:17 am

bichon

When I was groing up in Rockaway [a peninsula], the bay would meet the ocean during hurricanes

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Although I lived in Queens, Bichon, I didn't know that about Rockaway. My sister used to take me there to the beach on the railroad

6:19 am

bichon

We had the beach 365 days a year

6:19 am

rubyfoo

Are you a swimmer?

6:19 am

Trifioso

Sorry, had to step away for a minute....my entire life I have had only two sewing machines, both of which I used until they shuddered and died, and both Kenmores. It broke my heart when the second one died last week. Had to get a whole new brand, as Kenmore isn't making sewing machines anymore

7:15 pm

periwinkle

hopefully that will happen

7:16 pm

Scrabbler

We are waiting, but he has caused great distress to the boys' mother and all of us. The boys were in foster care with me because of his bad behavior. It has been heartbreaking.

hi cybernan, hope tomorrow is better for you

8:39 pm

harry....i left 10 IN words until the very end, too...

8:43 pm

cybernan

been sunny today for the most part, stid -- a threatened thunderstorm failed to materialize -- thank goodness as the lake continues to rise much faster than the dam can let out. I'm so glad we don't live in a low lying area

8:44 pm

stidmama

If your snowpack is like ours, we are looking at VERY high and fast rivers for a rather long time this year. A bonus for farmers, but not so wonderful for some of the others along the banks. I hope you'll dry out soon.

8:45 pm

cybernan

yes -- sounds like we are in the same boat -- hope your property is high and dry

8:46 pm

stidmama

We are good -- on the Salish Sea, there is plenty of catchment for the overflow, and we are up a ways. But some of the folks in the low-bank areas have had some extra high tides with the runoff

8:48 pm

cybernan

that's good -- for some reason I thought you were inland -- close to Olympia

8:49 pm

stidmama

Well, the southern end of the Salish Sea is the Olympia area, so close! :-)

Good Evening, All! Now that I see that others don't like this grid, I wonder why I started before I looked at the size of this grid. :-?

10:22 pm

Bugsaw

hi Nef. when in doubt just add the gerund ending. lots of words use it

10:24 pm

Nef

Thanks, Bugs. I'm starting to see that.
I take it that you are already finished with this garbage grid?

10:24 pm

Bugsaw

no. I just went through the list and still have 77 left to find. Yuch

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

beginning round 3

10:26 pm

Nef

LOL! And I've found just about 77 words thus far! (well, 75, to be honest)

10:38 pm

rururocks

(waits for round 4)

10:39 pm

Bugsaw

that is when More Words opens

10:39 pm

rururocks

Round 7 is when morewords and a2z wordfinder are open :D

10:40 pm

Bugsaw

I don't have the patience for that. If Morewords can't find it for me, then I ask for help, trying not to sound whiney

10:41 pm

stidmama

((((((((BUGS!!!!!!!!!!))))))))

10:41 pm

stidmama

hey all

10:41 pm

Bugsaw

hello stid. So good to see you. you must be nearing the end of the school year

10:41 pm

stidmama

Three more calendar weeks, more or less.

10:42 pm

stidmama

I need to get my act together... looks like I will be moving rooms over the summer (we hired another teacher, so there will 5 in our grade next year). But so close to the end. I think we'll make it...

10:43 pm

Bugsaw

I have been having fun with home schooling neices. They made a west coast long house out of popsicle sticks and DAS and on Saturday we will finish the scene putting the inside benches in and making totem poles out of toilet paper rolls.

10:43 pm

Nef

Hi stid & ruru.

10:45 pm

stidmama

fun -- loved doing things like that when I was a kid

I read one of the books I got from i-hos to them week before last. They LOVED seeing the images and talking about the animals. I taught them a few words of Lushootseed, since I don't know any comox or cowichan words.

10:45 pm

Nef

Wow, Bugs, That sounds interesting...
The totem poles out of toilet paper rolls sounds interesting; I take it they will not be carving them however. ;-)

10:45 pm

rururocks

gosh bugs.. no one is really whiny asking for clues really?

10:46 pm

Bugsaw

Geelah keslah is the pronounciation for Welcome in Komoks

10:46 pm

stidmama

ooooooh. I will teach it to them!

10:47 pm

Bugsaw

ee hychka is Thank you in Nuu-chah-nulth

10:47 pm

Bugsaw

Your kids should learn the welcoming word for the territory their school is in. An elder would know

10:48 pm

Bugsaw

ruru, I am never sure how people hear things in their heads and I try to be aware of others here.

10:50 pm

stidmama

I don't know any elders for the territory the school is in. :-( Maybe someday. It's a rather interesting community -- many students aren't identified as native american who actually are...

10:50 pm

rururocks

I'm joking.. lots of whiny clue mongers

10:50 pm

Bugsaw

Nef, I thought about letting the eldest carve one out of DAS. It is a non=firing clay for kids but her little sisters want to do whatever she does so they get the toilet rolls. I have some ink stamps of a killer whale and a wolf so the little ones can stamp them on the roll before colouring them and the eldest can draw some.

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

we have all kinds of red haired blue eyed natives in our school system because they get extra funding so if the parents can find some ancestry and the kids needs the support offered, it is all good.

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

and actually, one one whiney clue monger comes to mind but I still help sometimes when I can.

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

I don't thing anyone intends to sound whiney.

10:54 pm

rururocks

um right

10:55 pm

Nef

I don't know what DAS is, Bugs, but I do know that I used to do lots of projects with modeling clay or play doh with both my kids & grandkids. It was amazing what they can do with some sort of clay and plastic knives or spoons and things like a quarter (using the edge for texture lines or imprints

10:56 pm

Nef

Re: whiney clue mongers; sometimes it's just easier to clue what they are looking for than read their constant asking.

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

exactly Nef. My objection to plasticine is that it is so hard and takes a long time to soften up so they get frustrated. Play Doh works in the moment but just crumbles after it dries. DAS is like clay but it hardens in the air, is a nice white colour and can be painted so it is good for special projects.

10:57 pm

rururocks

when I offer a good clue and they don't even make the effort to scroll back to see it and ask for someone else to clue it again.. I just stop cluing at that point

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

or you could just put the word in the chog and say, "It is easier this way" like Molly does sometimes.

10:59 pm

rururocks

I've done that too

10:59 pm

Nef

Bugs, if plasticine is the same as modeling clay, I'd have the kids sit on it while finishing another project before we started the clay project. They always thought it was so funny

10:59 pm

stidmama

My biggest problem now is that so many of the polymers trigger the newest reactions, and I cannot predict which ones... so I am reluctant to use ANY of the modeling materials I used to. *sigh* I even reacted to acrylic paints a couple months ago. Hoping to be able to "do" art outside during the nicer summer weather. But of course that limits what I can do with the students.

10:59 pm

rururocks

i've seen a lot of plasticine in LA on women

10:59 pm

Bugsaw

NEf, you are a genius!!! I never thought of that but it would work and the kids would find it hilarious at the same time. Well done

11:00 pm

stidmama

LOL re: sitting on the plasticine...

11:04 pm

Bugsaw

poor you, stid. I love teaching kids about things and then letting them create. The first time the girls came ((10. 6 and 4) I made them play doh until they asked me to stop and they cooperatively made a huge ecosystem of a pond and all the life they could think of. It took hours to build and fell apart in the car ride home... sigh

11:05 pm

stidmama

:-) Yes -- we are enjoying many good activities, though. Today Tom and Mother came and we did the annual "electricity" marathon. Hands-on science explorations in rotations all day. It is fabulous. Kids show what they are really made of when it's real-life and hands-on.

11:06 pm

Bugsaw

well done. no chemicals in electricity.

11:07 pm

stidmama

yep - and lots of great ideas to take home. I always do the safety talk about not trying experiments without adult supervision!

11:11 pm

Nef

Good for you, stid. My son decided (at age 10!!) to see what would happen if he opened up a bobby pin far enough to fit into an outlet plug. (He was always curious!) He got quite a nasty burn on his hand from that; but he also never did it again!

11:12 pm

Nef

And thank you for the compliment, Bugs. I don't know how it would work in a classroom, but for about 4-6 kids, it's is pretty hilarious (especially if they also know how to do armpit farts).

11:13 pm

Nef

(That's the boys' favorite stunt: "OH! I Farted! NO! It wasn't a Fart, it's BLUE!!!"

11:15 pm

Nef

How many students do you have, stid? (Probably too many to make the home made play doh, I'd guess)

11:20 pm

Far too many for that, I am afraid. 24 at the moment. Great kids, all.

I was wondering if food coloring would set off your allergies, stid.
If you're sensitive to acrylic paints, how do you do with finger paints & water colors?

11:23 pm

stidmama

We don't generally use finger paint in third grade... food color usually is okay. Haven't tried the water colors, but suspect they are okay -- the problem (I am pretty sure) with the pa5 is the acrylamides, not the pigments specifically.

24 kids would be beyond the limit of most home made play doh, that's for sure.

11:25 pm

stidmama

true -- but possibly something I could send home as a recipe for summer! :-)

11:26 pm

Nef

I'm wondering if you might be sensitive to just a certain chemical that's in a huge number of things; maybe a petrochemical?

moolingwa

I'm particularly allergic to B in the third octave

stidmama

I figure I have NBT and NBS... unusual for me to get this far on a weeknight, but was optimistic this grid would be easier. *sigh* clearly not...

The scale of the puns is right. Everything I could think of to reply had too many *words* in it.
