*hugs Kam* Hello dear one! How are you today? Has your beloved left for his Dad's?
12:59 am
Kamanjah
He and his dad are in the city of Paradise, Calif. Hot there too, though.
1:00 am

Paradise with hellish climate, LOL
1:01 am
Kamanjah
I'm already tired of summer, ready for fall now. Too hot - near or over 100F every day.
1:01 am
sprite
way too hot. We are having a rather hot summer here too. 35-40 Celcius. Crazy.
1:03 am
rbud
yay, found the center E for nbt.
1:03 am
Kamanjah
That's about the same, I think. I have one app that tells me the temp in C - looks cold to me, lol! 32F is freezing.
1:03 am
sprite
good job, rbud, and hi
1:03 am
Kamanjah
Yay rbud! I'm still looking
1:05 am
rbud
turns out to be the name of one of our dogs, go figure. Well, if you double the last letter, that is.
1:05 am
sprite
95-104 Fahrenheit = 35-40 Celcius.
Add to that a serious humidity.
1:06 am
Kamanjah
Ha! Got it!
1:06 am
Kamanjah
Ugh, humidity just makes it worse. Ours was up to 24% today and felt sticky - has been 11% for the past week or so until the sun sets
1:07 am
rbud
also the first name of the inventor of the flux capacitor, haha!
1:07 am

I have to work today and tomorrow, and I have to cook too. Think I will make casserole for tomorrow... into the oven and done.
1:08 am
rbud
sounds like a good plan
1:08 am
rbud
what kind of casserole?
1:08 am
Kamanjah
Easy is the best when a lot needs to be done, for sure!
1:08 am
sprite
chicory casserole, I think. One of our favorites.
1:09 am
Kamanjah
My main cook is away until at least Saturday, so I'm eating leftovers so far. I'll have to start cooking for myself tomorrow.
1:10 am
sprite
I hate cooking for myself alone. Always end up making a huge fruit salade and heating up a prepacked satah.
1:10 am
Kamanjah
I'm going to the store tomorrow, so likely will bring home easy foods - seems like too much work to cook for me when no one else needs a healthy meal.
1:11 am
Kamanjah
I have plenty of salad!
1:13 am
sprite
stuffed bell pepper for today, I think. With french bread, garlic butter... yep, that will do nicely
1:14 am

I'm sorry, there are just not 5 T words off that first column T, no way. I have one. :P

The gr8 is one I've never seen before. One letter short of a colour, repeat.

Also eg5/14 - nearly Piaf's theme song
10:11 am
Michnick
Thanks haz I thought I had monkeyed that, but I guess not.
10:11 am
Vicuna
The gr8 is not, as far as any dictionary I can see, a bird. It's an amulet. The gr5/18 is a water bird.
10:12 am
Haz1558
I stand corrected!
10:13 am
Vicuna
Hello, Haz, and all! Happy to see you standing here, corrected or otherwise! =)
10:13 am
Haz1558
Ditto. Are you well?
10:13 am
Vicuna
I am, thanks. And you?
10:14 am
Haz1558
Yes, very well. What news of your outstanding children?
10:15 am
Vicuna
My outstanding children are learning to drive this summer (!), which as everyone knows is utterly terrifying.
10:15 am
Michnick
Thanks all, never heard of the amulet or the bird.
10:16 am
Haz1558
Oh, that's frightening on every level. They're that old? TWO of them learning at the same time?
10:18 am
Vicuna
Yep, they're 16 and take turns driving us on all our errands. I actually don't think they're any worse at it than average, but it still feels like we will surely all die before this is over!
10:18 am
Michnick
I have 7 kids, all but 1 drive and my youngest is just waiting for his test. (He'll be 19 next week)
10:18 am
Haz1558
I can imagine you staggering inside after one practice session to be greeted with 'Mum, it's my turn now!'
10:19 am
Haz1558
Ah, we don't let them start driving until they're 17. Another year of sanity preserved.
10:19 am
Vicuna
Michnick, you are now fully equipped for both magic and diving for fish.
10:19 am
Haz1558
How was it for you, Michnick?
10:20 am
Michnick
Thanks Vic, going out to magically get fish.
10:20 am
Michnick
Haz, Here in Israel one is required to have a driving teacher, a parent isn't allowed to have a student driver take the wheel. Saves a lot of nerves.
10:21 am
Haz1558
It is still pretty terrifying to sit alongside a learner driver. I think it's the feeling of not being in control. I think it's definitely better for a proper teacher to teach the fundamentals but it's so expensive here that you just wouldn't work up enough practice before the test.
10:22 am
Haz1558
I could be wrong but I think in the Republic of Ireland, provisional licence holders can opt to drive by themselves. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
10:23 am
Vicuna
Luckily their father did the first few lessons in the parking lot and first time on roads. But now it falls to me to be their accompanist as they drive around town. It's a long drawn-out process here: permit at 16, but for 6 months they must have an adult in the passenger seat, then after they take their test there's another 6 months in which they cannot drive other children except family members, and various other restrictions, so 17 is the earliest they can get a full license. They have to take a certain number of hours with a driving teacher, as well, plus a certain number of hours in a classroom (which they've already completed) before they can even get the permit.
10:24 am
Haz1558
I think some people can get the fundamentals of driving pretty quickly - it's getting used to the fact that they're driving a potential weapon that some young guys don't seem to understand for a long time.
10:25 am
Vicuna
Michnick, did you get the eg5 bird, as well? If so, that's a feather in your cap.
Wow, 7 kids to go through the process. Just as well it was a driving teacher and not you, for sure.
10:26 am
Michnick
You are right, Haz, it is crazy expensive and everyone in Israel thinks it's a racket bec. the teacher is also the one to decide how many lessons you take until he'll sign you up for a test.
10:26 am
Haz1558
I had a friend, dead now, who was the worst driver I've ever encountered. She never got beyond the gripping of the steering wheel like her life depended on it and avoided certain places in case she had to reverse. It ended up that I had to reverse for her sometimes. The laugh was that she had taught all her children to drive.
10:27 am
Haz1558
I hear you, MIchnick. It's just an all round expensive time.
10:28 am
Vicuna
That does sound a little sketchy, Michnick. Good luck to your son on his test.
How on earth did this friend of yours pass a driving test, Haz?
10:28 am
Haz1558
No idea, Vicuna.
10:28 am
Michnick
Yes, Vicuna I also got the eg5 bird. I would have been happy to teach most of my kids (not the youngest, our relationship is not picture perfect) instead it costs around $1000 per kid!!!
10:29 am
Haz1558
She drove like a learner driver who had only been in a car a couple of times before.

Hello, HK.
10:33 am
Haz1558
Hello HK. We're consoling each other about the perils of children learning to drive.
10:34 am
helenkeller
Yes, Haz, I see. Have never done that, but taught kid across the street to drive stick & grandson too. Patience.
10:35 am
Haz1558
See that's the other difference between UK and US. Automatic cars are few and far between here.
10:35 am
Haz1558
So most will learn with the whole clutch thing - hill starts are a special memory.
10:36 am
Vicuna
I had a stick shift until 2 years ago, but no more. My kids will presumably never learn stick shift. Indeed, maybe they'll be the last generation to learn at all, before it's all self-driving cars!
10:36 am
helenkeller
Other countries are so much smarter. Bet you even buy 'petrol' and buy in 'litres & imperial gallons,' yes?
10:36 am
helenkeller
LOL -Hill starts - just LOL.
10:37 am
Haz1558
We buy petrol - at ridiculous prices! and we buy in litres. I still think in gallons, though.
10:37 am
Haz1558
It's funny, you can do hill starts without thinking but once you try to explain it to someone else, it's a whole different ball game.
10:37 am
helenkeller
Eeeek - I dread self-driving cars.
10:38 am
Haz1558
Especially when they're revving fit to kill the car and it's still rolling back down the hill.
10:38 am
helenkeller
I liked where Mich (back to lurking?) said in Israel, parents not allowed to teach kids to drive - smart.
10:39 am
Haz1558
Yes, I think it can be counterproductive sometimes. And you might be an awful driver and pass on bad habits.
10:41 am
helenkeller
Been to San Francisco many time, always visited friends, never needed car. First time I went for work, I went to rent a car. I was insisting on stick. The guy looked at me like I was crazy. We only rent automatics. What? That's not what I drive! But, lol, those are not hills in SF, those are mountains. Was still hard to get going on top of hill, even with automatic.
10:42 am
helenkeller
Yes Haz, exactly. Plus, saves so much stress to have someone else do the teaching.
10:42 am
Haz1558
I can imagine. How did they manage in the days before cars. Did horses have to pant their way up those hills?
10:42 am
Vicuna
I always remember my mother trying to teach me to use the clutch and I just couldn't do it and was in tears, utterly frustrated. Then my dad (who usually is a much less helpful teacher) came out to see the problem, said one little thing that made it all clear to me, and after that I was fine. I've always remembered that as a lesson in how different people think about things in different ways, and how you need to try different kinds of explanations, not just the same one over and over. (Like Babble clues!)
10:43 am
Haz1558
You're right, Vicuna. People's minds work in different ways. That's what amazes me about teachers, they have to find a way to explain things to different minds.
10:44 am
Haz1558
Our next door neighbours had a foster child who had difficulty with maths. They found she could do it much better if it became 'money' rather than just figures.
10:44 am
helenkeller
lol - yes, like Babble clues, that's funny. Gotta always approach the learner on their level, gotta really assess with what exactly they're struggling.
10:47 am
helenkeller
Vic, Haz - I tutored a friend's kid in high school algebra. She was having trouble with quadratic equations. Now, I've never used a quadratic equation in my life, but I remembered 'FOIL' so I said I'd give it a try. I had her try to do a couple of equations first so I could watch her, see what it was she didn't know or was having trouble with - you wanna know what her problem was: Didn't understand how to deal with the minus sign in any mathematical equation. Grinding halt. Let's step into the way-back machine . . .
10:48 am
Vicuna
I teach art and am usually very good at that, but on the other hand when I was trying to teach my daughter cello I just could not explain things to her because she simply fundamentally didn't understand musical things the same way I do. Very frustrating! But she eventually got a teacher who was able to communicate with her.
10:49 am

Just looking through the chog. Teaching my 18-year-old to drive right now. We're rotating through me, his dad, my husband, and his sister going with him so none of us go completely insane.
10:49 am
Haz1558
It all boils down to how important it is to teach and be taught well.
10:50 am
helenkeller
lol mag - great approach. New slogan - 'It only takes 4, maybe more.'
10:50 am
Haz1558
Hello magmom. It's good you can spread the burden.
10:50 am
Vicuna
Hello, magazinemom. Great idea, both so you don't go insane, and so your son gets multiple different explanations of everything.
10:50 am
Haz1558
As long as you're all saying the same thing and sticking to the same rules.
10:51 am
helenkeller
ah yes Vic, there is that. That's a plus. That can also confuse the heck outta the learner.
10:51 am
Vicuna
Very true, Haz.
10:51 am
Vicuna
It has to be multiple ways to explain the same thing, not multiple different rules!
10:51 am
Haz1558
Come to think of it, will they ever invent an automatic car teacher?

Hi, all. I had a conversation here a couple of days ago about crafts. I have arthritis in both hands and, being obsessive, have collected enough yarn to stock a shop. One of you ladies suggested old people's charities and I have just unloaded my pile of yarn. It has gone to a local daycare drop in centre and they are delighte to have it all. Thank you to whoever it was who suggested it.

Thank you so much. The centre has ladies who knit and crochet but as yet no gentlemen. As this is a port I had thought there might be retired sailors who knitted their own socks.
11:34 am
aebmusica
Or the old Football Players homes(LOL) Some do knit though.
11:35 am
jaxx7
We have a rugby team here but I suspect they would consider themselves too macho to knit.
11:36 am
aebmusica
It was a fad a while ago in the U.S.A.
11:36 am
jaxx7
What is even better is the space I shall gain. I have boxes and bin bags full of yarn.
11:37 am
aebmusica
Found this time they also had football players viewing and learning BALLET moves to improve their game.
11:38 am
jaxx7
The mind boggles tho' I can see that could be useful.
11:38 am
aebmusica
Around......
11:41 am
jaxx7
Watching the players training for the World Cup, I suspect they might still be using ballet moves.
11:44 am

Just thought I would troll through chat for clues before I left. aeb & jaxx - that is such a heart warming thing, about the yarn. Again, we witness the Beauty of Babble :)

12:02 pm

Meme: an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by Internet users, often with slight variations.
12:03 pm

No idea why not accepted
12:04 pm

re yarn - have friends that teach knitting a women's prison and also need wee little items for children in shelters so I always check tag sales, thrift stores and garage sales.

I just wish I could figure out where I'd like to go. Haven't been to Spain, but don't like spicy food. Could go and spend some time in Greece I suppose - what else is there to see there besides ruins and olive trees? There is always southern France -- love it there. Will have to decide sometime soon for next year.
