ARB
I guess you could say that the Hebrew alphabete is one of my more specialized fields of knowledge!
1:18 am
hurshy
that just leaves 2 C, 2 A, and a P
1:19 am
hurshy

TraderKate
a really bad typo?
1:31 am
hurshy
pi6/7 similar to ca6/7
1:32 am
ARB
pi 6/21 has nothing to do with computer testing, but pi4/7 is the word used by c9omputer people when testing communications.
1:32 am
TraderKate
lol... don't have the CA 6/7 either :( ty ay way
1:32 am
hurshy
well there's a Grand one made by the colorado river

Wonder why you can not gerund YA 4/8
3:22 am
Christine
TraderKate, have you tried a weighted blanket? A friend had insomnia for ages, and his GP suggested he try thevweghted coverler. While he waited for delivery, he piled on all the coats and covers in the house, which helped some, but he said the real star was the weighted blanket; someti6, he was just too tired to relax sufficiently for sleep to take hold, but no more... try it, luv.

All I want is a pair of flat black sandals that won't hurt my feet. Do you think I can find a pair? Noooo.
10:02 am
rururocks
i really shouldn't discuss what I want
10:06 am
Judi
But, I did order a pair of Hawaiian print espadrilles that I don't even need.
10:12 am
rururocks
i can only wear certain shoes due to the size of my feet
10:12 am
NatashaW
Judi have you tried Munro shoes/sandals? Not cheap by any means but IMHO worth the $$. Built for comfort and they last.
10:13 am
Judi
Haven't heard of them, Natasha, but I will check them out.
10:13 am
NatashaW
Ruru I knew there was a reason I liked you... now I know the reason. I can't shop at those big box shoe stores. Thank God for Zappos, don't know how I lived before they came along.
10:14 am
Judi
Shoes.com is really good, too.
10:14 am
rururocks
my dress shoes are only in Chicago and New York..
10:15 am
NatashaW
When you have a special size, you pay what you must and go where you must.
10:16 am
NatashaW
Judi I must warn you the Munros have increased in price and now run around $150+ for sandals, which makes steam come out of my ears...
10:16 am
Judi
Ha! Ok. I'm out on the Munros.
10:16 am
NatashaW
But they're extremely well-made and will last for a long time.
10:20 am
Judi
They should be for that price. I need something comfortable that I can wear to work. Plus, I need flats because wearing any type of heel now causes my calves to cramp up (fybromyalgia related).
10:20 am
Judi
Plus, I usually wear flats so I'm not taller than my husband.
10:20 am
rururocks
There goes that image of Judi in Stillettos
10:20 am
Judi
Sorry, Ru. I was never a stilletto kind of girl anyway.
10:21 am
Judi
I used to wear fishnet stockings every once in a while though.
10:21 am
rururocks
now you are talking :D
10:22 am
Judi
... when I delivered balloon-a-grams.
10:25 am

It was part of the Playboy Bunny costume. So, run with that image.

Were you a teacher pen?
9:44 pm

9:44 pm
origami
Ah - a field I pondered
9:45 pm
penquis
i enjoyed it....and the school vacations... ;o)
9:46 pm
origami
When I asked my faculty advisor why he went into academia rather than research he said three reasons: June, July and August :-)
9:47 pm
penquis
i worked for school districts on a continuing contract, so had benefits and a retirement pension....i could have gone into private practice, but I did not want the hassle....
9:51 pm
origami
I have a few friends who are therapists in private practice. What they dislike is the business end of things - the billing, dealing with insurance companies, etc.
9:52 pm
penquis
exactly what i avoided....
9:53 pm
penquis
it was nice to have a profession that I could rely on for pt work when i retired....and i did not have to work on a schedule at all....i worked when I wanted....built my schedule around my tennis... ;o)
9:59 pm
penquis
yes....but after 8 years, the profession got too far ahead of me....i decided it was time to quit....
10:00 pm
penquis
well i am headed to bed....goodnight ori.....*waving to the lurkers*....

11:07 pm

Ragging on someone for their clue is not OK. Sorry if it seemed I was having a hissy fit :D
11:09 pm
rururocks
not you ori.. MKG..that was rude
11:11 pm
origami
Indeed it was rude. Makes you reluctant to give her clues, eh?
11:11 pm
rururocks
certain players feel we are all here to serve them and dish them up simple clues instead of thinking about it and trying figure it out
11:12 pm
origami
Her response pissed me off.
11:12 pm
rururocks
maybe.. she has come across as entitled that's for sure
11:13 pm
harpjane
sounds like i missed a fracas. oh well
11:14 pm
origami
Not really harp - just someone responding rudely to a clue given. And I commented on that.
11:15 pm
harpjane
is this a bad time to ask for a clue? lol
11:15 pm
rururocks
no.. perfectly fine
11:15 pm
rururocks
