hello everyone :)

12:10 am

hurshy

the first semester was rough. couple of parents unhappy with some changes i made in teaching. my self-confidence - well, i don't really HAVE much self-confidence to begin with, so this pushes it severely negative. but i'm also getting divorced and moving, which means i have to job hunt. i was updating my resume and just feeling like i totally suck and i don't know how i'm ever going to get through the next few months and i hate myself.

12:11 am

hurshy

and don't tell me it doesn't make sense because i KNOW that and it doesn't help, i am still miserable with myself

Sorry hursh. It really sucks when one is feeling so low. You will get through it one day at a time.

12:22 am

12:23 am

hurshy

12:48 am

dcseain

The Big Sn4 is still a favourite short cartoon of mine, all these years later. :)

12:52 am

SueMagee

I donâ€™t think itâ€™s related, hurshy. It has a prefix.

12:53 am

SueMagee

Before

Lizlin

Keep warm and dry if you can. Please send some of the rain here. We had a couple of storms last weekend but we need more rain.

Seems like it's either feast or famine, so to speak. I do hope you will have some rain soon.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Thanks. I hope you have less than is forecast.

2:52 am

gapeach

Perhaps the new year will bring us just what we need. I guess I'm the cock eyed optimist. LOL

8:27 am

Judi

Name that proper noun: Where all the tallest mountains are.

8:28 am

Judi

Or, where all the best sherpas can be found.

8:30 am

BzznBea

Tibet

8:30 am

BzznBea

I was looking for Nepal

8:33 am

Judi

Ding! Ding! Ding! Bea wins a fully loaded yak.

8:40 am

jwr

" if we're talking sheer height here, base to summit, then the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii."

8:40 am

jwr

but you're right about the "range"

8:41 am

Judi

I thought it had recently been revised to K2. But, that could be just the one that's completely above sea level.

8:42 am

Judi

And is Mauna Kea considered a mountain or a volcano (or both?)

8:42 am

jwr

I'll go ask the famous seer: krishnagoogle

8:42 am

Judi

LOL. Please do!

8:44 am

Judi

Poor Everest is probably now suffering ED.

8:45 am

jwr

FIVE taller: K2 (ding, ding), Mauna Kea (yes, it counts as a mountain) Chimborazo in Ecuador, Olympus Mons, on Mars

8:46 am

Judi

Mars doesn't count - separate planet.

8:46 am

jwr

any sherpas on Mars?

8:46 am

cybernan

good morning all - melting here

8:47 am

Judi

Melting? Melting what? Snow?

8:47 am

Buggie

I take it you're talking about base to top, rather than elevation? As Mauna Kea is only 4207m

8:47 am

cybernan

yes

8:47 am

jwr

and something about the Marianas Trench, which if you put any one of those mountains in their peak would not reach the surface. Ha. I'll take the volcano and Ecuador, but the last two, uhn uh

8:48 am

jwr

13,678 ft.

8:49 am

Judi

Yes, jwr. I do recall reading (Nat Geo) that the Trench was deeper compared to anything rising above sea level. As long as we are taking a "deep dive" into this topic.

8:50 am

jwr

Oh, I'm sticking with Everest.

8:50 am

jwr

K2 is 28.651

8:50 am

Judi

I don't think anyone has gotten to the bottom of the Trench, though. Possibly via robotic sub, but not sure.

8:51 am

cybernan

clue for the in 10 please?

8:51 am

jwr

You don't go to bad science fiction movies, do you?

8:51 am

Judi

I do. Just watched "The Meg" last night. What a ridiculous turd that was.

8:51 am

jwr

ah, back to babble-busienss

8:52 am

jwr

10 is nnnnnnnnen

8:54 am

Judi

Ha! Got it. No thanks to jwr's clue, tho.

8:54 am

cybernan

8:55 am

MLFAN17

yeah monster part was good

9:02 am

jaxx7

In this country ne4/4 also means a headland and our local one is called just the ne4/4

9:02 am

jwr

it's not a whole, though. It's just a tail.

9:04 am

jwr

ah, I know jaxx, but when it does this "essence of" bit, I can't help thinking of it as a suffix

9:05 am

jwr

And a beautiful country it is too.

9:05 am

jaxx7

Dis appearing under houses though.

9:05 am

MLFAN17

corner e?

9:07 am

jaxx7

Our area depends on tourism and who is going to want to come and look at concrete? They can stay at home and see that.

9:07 am

jwr

not the beginning mlfan

9:08 am

jwr

are you in the moutains jaxx?

9:08 am

jaxx7

No, right by the sea on the English Channel.

9:09 am

jwr

an easy crossing then, What's your weather like?

9:10 am

jaxx7

It is dark, grey and misty. Not very uplifting.

9:11 am

godthaab

FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!

9:11 am

jwr

I love dark, grey and misty. San Francisco can get that way.

9:11 am

jwr

pure film noir

9:11 am

rururocks

Thankfully people arenâ€™t cemented in staying home and like to travel

9:11 am

jwr

YAH godthab

9:11 am

jaxx7

Yes, but not day after day. It makes me want to stay in bed.

9:11 am

cybernan

where abouts on the channel, jaxx? We spent a wonderful week touring south of Salsbury and another near Eastbourne

9:13 am

jwr

uh oh, ruru's at it again: well it beats being a stick-in-the-mud

9:13 am

jaxx7

My sister lives in Salisbury, moved there just as the Novichok thing erupted - no link though. I live in South Devon in a seaside town called Teignmouth but, just to confuse everyone, pronounced Tinmouth

9:13 am

Canâ€™t take what?

9:19 am

cybernan

loved salisbury -- stayed in an apartment hotel not far from the cathedral

9:21 am

jaxx7

It is a lovely city. Was quiet until recently, now it keeps being mentioned on the news. Jill, my sister, lives in sheltered housing about 5 minutes from the centre and considers the Cathedral her parish church.

9:22 am

jaxx7

Some idiot took a hammer to the copy of the Magna Carta that hangs in there.

9:24 am

cybernan

there was a path through the wetlands behind the cathedral that led to a great restaurant that was housed in an old mill . We ate there a couple of times as it was a nice evening stroll from our apartment.

9:25 am

cybernan

probably the same idiot that took a hammer to la pieta's toes

9:25 am

jaxx7

Next time I visit I will have to find it. Jill loves the New Forest which isn't that far away.

9:26 am

rururocks

Someone let Trini Lopez out of the nuthouse

9:27 am

jaxx7

I don't understand these people at all. They must have no sense of history or heritage. Could be they just want to draw attention to themselves.

9:27 am

cybernan

The path through the water meadow is the vantage point from which Constable painted the cathedral

9:30 am

jaxx7

I shall ask my sister about it when next I e-mail her. we have a link with the cathedral as a relative worked at the Cathedral centuries ago as a housekeeper at the Deanery which is still there.

9:34 am

11:51 am

ChampFit

Ooh! Here's one: against the group that picks the Golden Globe Awards, known as the Hollywood Foreign *****

11:53 am

MLFAN17

11:53 am

ChampFit

Isn't it always the way?

7:33 pm

Minveryork

Just got the new Pixel 3 phone. I did not even know that Google made cell phones.I Finally gave up the Galaxy S3.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

gwen, it's a cse for the phone , it's protection. i need info from someone who used the otterbox product.

7:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

72 Temple Owl

7:35 pm

NatashaW

sorry owl... cheap motorola phone user here

7:36 pm

Minveryork

Went to Walmart to get my screen protector and case for my Pixel 3 and they didn't have it. Hopefully, I can get it on Amazon. I do not think Google phones are popular yet

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you like it?

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

the camera looks rad

7:37 pm

Minveryork

I thought Motorola no longer made cell phones. I used to have a very old Motorola flip phone. Miss the flip phones.

7:38 pm

NatashaW

I have the Moto E 4, running Android 7.1.1, got it unlocked for $125

7:39 pm

NatashaW

The camera doesn't measure up to the iPhone but I'm putting a kid thru college

7:39 pm

Minveryork

I like it ok. It does not have some of the same features as the Samsung which I miss. Kept my phone for 6 years. I'm hoping to keep this Google Pixel 3 for at least six years.

7:39 pm

danf63

OWl, what info do you need? We use Otterboxes at work for Android phones

7:40 pm

NatashaW

It's hard to change phones I find

7:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am confused whtn they say they have screen protection, yet otterbox sells tempered glass protectors. what exctly is the screen protection in the defender series?

7:41 pm

Minveryork

What does that mean, U got it unlocked?Should've gotten that one. I am not putting a kid through college, but I am paying $3,600 a month in alimony plus bills and my rent.

7:42 pm

NatashaW

Owie!!

7:42 pm

NatashaW

unlocked means I can use it with any carrier

7:42 pm

Minveryork

Time to go make some Pierogies for dinner. Be right back

7:43 pm

NatashaW

bon appetit!

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh min. it's good to see you. later

7:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

monkeyed the 9, hooray

7:45 pm

danf63

The otterbox we use at work is a platic coever rather than tempered glass. Not sure which model it is, but the plastic screen protectors work fine. I work for a Security Company and we abuse the phones...as in throw them at walls, run over them with cars, etc and the Otterbox case works about as well as the Lifecase for less money.

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. my battery swelled and i just paid for a new phone. i would like to keep it unscratched since it is an older model with the jack

7:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

our middle school used Otterboxes for student iPads. which is to say, Otterboxes are middle-schooler-proof.

9:25 pm

stidmama

hey all, down to 48

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Hi there melonheadjujube & stidmama! Merry Christmas!

9:29 pm

stidmama

Hello Min! How's life in the frozen north?

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Actually not so frozen anymore. It was in the 50's today.

9:31 pm

stidmama

wow -- springlike! It's been warm here, too -- I heard springtime singing from some of the smaller birds the other day.

9:33 pm

Minveryork

How was your Christmas with your family? Did you host or did U go somewhere?I went to Vermont to see my family.

9:33 pm

Minveryork

Not so springlike there.It was in the 20s with lots of snow

9:33 pm

stidmama

We don't do Christmas, but we had a very fine quiet day at home. I am glad you got home to see the family!

9:34 pm

Minveryork

Sorry stidmama. Should not assume everyone celebrates.

9:36 pm

stidmama

That's okay, Min -- I teach third graders! We have many different customs in the classroom, and I am careful to make our room and lessons welcoming to all. :-) Anything that encourages people to be kind is always okay!

9:37 pm

Minveryork

Oh yes,I do the same with my students as well stidmama.

9:41 pm

stidmama

We just got the smoked meats back from our pig last weekend, and had a lovely ham on Tuesday... and Tom made fresh applesauce from apples he gleaned off a friend's orchard in Eastern Washington... I am feeling well fed! LOL

9:50 pm

Minveryork

My parents also made homemade applesauce, but I didn't have any. Do not know where they got their apples from.

9:50 pm

Minveryork

My dad started an his own apple orchard a few years ago.

9:51 pm

stidmama

That's nice! What types does he grow? There is a large crab apple used as a pollinator in some Washington orchards (Wickson Crab) that is divine...

gapeach

Thanks much, Min.

9:53 pm

Minveryork

Do not know specifically what apples he grew, but I know he grew 20 different kinds of apples. I did not even know there are 20 kinds of apples. My favorite is Granny Smith

9:55 pm

stidmama

Those are a lovely, tart apple -- I prefer Grannies and Mackintosh apples over "Delicious" varieties... my current favorites are probably York apples. They dry nicely with a bit of a tang in the sweetness.

9:58 pm

stidmama
