12:55 am

Kamanjah

Tree guy is coming tomorrow to get it out of here. Yay, because another big storm is coming.

12:55 am

sprite

nasty, Kam :(

12:56 am

Kamanjah

Haven't talked with dad in a couple of days, he was better on Sat. Michael has been having some "off" time the past couple of days

12:56 am

sprite

neediness and readiness are phantoms? Oh man.

12:56 am

sprite

good for him, Kam. It can't be easy on him.

12:56 am

Kamanjah

Now, I'm praying the roof won't leak! The adjuster said there was some shingle damage, but she didn't feel we needed emergency measures.

12:58 am

1:37 am

grannyrose

been to GP. she remembered the colonoscopy. mwah... i don't want it...

1:40 am

grannyrose

and all don did was sit there with this silly grin on his face. GP and her nurse were laughing so hard...

1:41 am

Kamanjah

Good news on the dentist - I need a lot of fillings. Have to go to a new dentist too...dread.

1:41 am

Kamanjah

I still haven't been pushed into having the scope, thank goodness.

1:43 am

grannyrose

how are you sprite? have your feet touched the floor yet? i think this was to be you last of the very busy weeks. but then you are moving earlier than expected.

1:46 am

sprite

we are busy as can be. Am beyond tired. Feb 1 cannot come fast enough. Rob and I had our first big fight due to moving stress last week, not fun. But worked it out and now we are better than ever.

1:48 am

grannyrose

you poor kids. it is very stressful for you both. but honey, your pain levels must be through the roof. how are you coping?

1:49 am

sprite

on willpower mostly. And taking short breaks, even lying down, whenever I can

1:50 am

grannyrose

good girl.... and take regular analgesia, even if you think you don't need it.

1:52 am

sprite

oh, I have great news! We had the new years meeting for my volunteer job yesterday. One of the big lotteries in the netherlands donates part of its revenue to worthy causes, among which is our organisation. Turned out that the management had put in my name as possible recipient... and I got it! They are giving me a laptop. Am chuffed.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Awesome, Sprite. Thatâ€™s great.

1:53 am

grannyrose

oh wow, sprite. how incredible! but you earned it, over and over

1:53 am

sprite

also got a speech that made me blush for hours.

1:53 am

Kamanjah

Congrats on the award, Sprite. I'm sure you put in a lot of effort.

1:54 am

grannyrose

*giggle* wish i had a shirt that colour sprite... hang on... i do....

2:11 am

Kamanjah

Fireflies. Have a good day, all.

2:11 am

*hugs Kam*

2:12 am

2:16 am

grannyrose

sprite, we have started looking at accommodation for next May. i need to answer your last email...i guess. would you like me to wait until the move is over? i really do not want to add to your list of concerns at the moment.

2:16 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!

2:17 am

sprite

honey, mail me, and do not worry about anything. I will answer whenever I can, and if I need to find out stuff locally, just let me know.

3:44 am

zoozzoom

Okay first run through and I have 81 left to find. Have not found the 9 yet. Although I am not a big drinker of wine I did find one of my fave white wines in the grid. 1983 year is the best for that wine in my opinion.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

Will come back later to see if I can find any more words. Happy babbling everyone! Make that exactly 80 words left now.

8:19 am

BzznBea

Too much testing in schools these days, imho.

8:26 am

Judi

Sounds like you're a little testy over the subject, Bea.

8:27 am

BzznBea

You are correct, judi. =)

8:27 am

BzznBea

One of the reasons I left teaching.

8:31 am

Harrumph. Yesterday was busy in the office. Today it's dead. The walking dead.

8:34 am

BzznBea

Zombies

8:35 am

Judi

And it's too freakin' warm in the office. Must be all the decomposition.

8:35 am

Judi

Down to 112 words. That did go rather fast.

8:36 am

BzznBea

It has been a fun grid.

8:38 am

Trifioso

to be fair, these are actual tests that have to do with each subject, not some dreaded state things

8:49 am

MLFAN17

trif did you hear Carol Channing died?

8:49 am

BzznBea

Always fun.

8:50 am

Trifioso

oh no! I can't really get updates at school. Just today?

8:51 am

MLFAN17

8:51 am

Trifioso

I was being serious (for once) bzzn - this student actually IS lovely.

8:51 am

Trifioso

8:53 am

LuvWordGames

hi MLF yw

8:54 am

Trifioso

I find myself saying that a lot when people die "Oh! I thought she was dead!" usually followed by Beloved saying "she is."

8:55 am

MLFAN17

strange isn't it. I hadn't heard her name in years!

8:56 am

Trifioso

I'm glad broadway remains vibrant and exciting. I don't really care for the "movies into musicals" being churned out (Sponge bob? NO) but I do love that it still exists at all.

8:56 am

MLFAN17

trif sponge bob. king kong?

8:56 am

MLFAN17

etc

8:58 am

Trifioso

shrek, sponge bob, frozen, aladdin, I could go on and on. I make an exception for Lion King, because Julie Taymer made it something FANTASTIC and new and so original

8:59 am

MLFAN17

I saw beauty and the beast on stage it was wonderful!

8:59 am

Trifioso

I will have to take your word for it....

9:00 am

LuvWordGames

9:01 am

MLFAN17

trif that is one to see on stage.. I have always wanted to see the Lon King on stage. I have seen parts of and I love the music have it on cd

9:01 am

Trifioso

it is a tricky, tricky business going from stage to screen and vice versa - Chorus line, rent, the Fantasticks - AMAZING on stage, failures on screen. Some exceptions, of course - Chicago, Les Miserables.....again, it's tricky

9:01 am

PastorJ

awnest should be a word. as in, "let's be awnest."

MLFAN17

9:02 am

MLFAN17

I saw into the woods the movie. it wasn't bad but I felt it was a bit dark

9:03 am

MLFAN17

sitting here biting my tongue -- don't get this obsession with opiates laced with fentanol coming from Mexico. Illegal firearms and pot, I will buy, -- but we have a overdose/fentanol crisis in Canada as well and the drugs are coming concealed in shipments from China mosltly.

11:45 am

I see the red wine. Zoom mentioned that a white wine was in the grid, but I'm not seeing it. I don't know much about wine, so it is probably not as obvious to me as it would be to others.

Breaking news, for those who care.... Prime Minister Theresa May has lost an MPsâ€™ vote on her Brexit deal by 230 votes - the largest defeat for a sitting government in history.

MPs voted by 432 votes to 202 to reject the deal, which sets out the terms of Britain's exit from the EU on 29 March.

Golly!!!! This Brexit thing is really kicking off. Iâ€™d love to get the opinion of some British Babblers as to how they think it will all pan out.... Two of my kids live & work in the UK - each has diametrically opposing views of what will happen. Interesting times indeed!!

stidmama

I am glad you are okay today, hurshy. You are one of my favorite babble-people.

10:01 pm

hurshy

it's ok, i'm not someone who minds repeating once or twice :)

10:01 pm

stidmama

Ah, seain.... how's the snow?

10:01 pm

hurshy

if i have to give the same clue like 10 times, then i start to get tired of it, but otherwise, it doesn't bother me

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

rubyfoo

l'm never on at this time of ight

10:02 pm

hurshy

work stuff

10:03 pm

dcseain

we got a bout a foot where i live, an there's ice under it. What fun.

10:03 pm

hurshy

the principal, who did not get back from the christmas holiday break until yesterday, though the rest of us started back up on the 2nd, this morning said to me, "after several weeks away, i forgot just how dysfunctional this school is" (he is new this year)

10:04 pm

rubyfoo

no snow here but very cold

10:05 pm

rubyfoo

that doesn't bode well for the school year!

10:06 pm

rubyfoo

l quit teaching because of the awful administration

10:07 pm

rubyfoo

liens

10:07 pm

rubyfoo

sorry

10:09 pm

stidmama

I am so sorry, hurshy -- my school isn't perfect (what school is?) but our admins are supportive and my colleagues are kind even when we have differences of opinion. (((hugs)))

10:09 pm

stidmama

I prefer it when there is snow, although a foot of snow on top of ice is a bit .... excessive!

10:10 pm

dcseain

we often get layers of snow and ice.

10:10 pm

rururocks

That must make you flurryious

10:11 pm

hurshy

it's cause it's a so small private school - there are special issues with that

10:11 pm

rubyfoo

That's wwhat Binghamton was like

10:13 pm

stidmama

true -- small communities have different challenges

10:13 pm

stidmama

LOL ruru! Hello friend

10:13 pm

dcseain

yay cat went away. going to check dryer BRB

10:16 pm

stidmama

Later seain, stay warm!

stidmama

I am heading out for good tonight... have a good rest of your week all. (((hugs and choclits as desired))) *poof*

10:16 pm

dcseain

it's always surprising how much hair comes off the quilt and the blanket when i launder bedding. Between me and three cats, i guess i oughtn't be so surprised, but there it is.

10:16 pm

dcseain

g'night stidmama

10:19 pm

rubyfoo

good night seain

10:19 pm

hurshy

fun times seain. you're a threefer also? :) i'm on my second "set" of three.

10:25 pm

dcseain

Yeah. 13, 7, and 1.5 currently .

10:26 pm

dcseain

the teenaged one is kind of fun.

10:27 pm

hurshy

my sets have been all pretty close in age, only a few months apart

10:28 pm

hurshy

by the teenaged one are you referring to the human years or the cat years?

10:28 pm

dcseain

i chose the eldest -- pick of the litter. the 1.5 year old one is in teenage growth state.

10:29 pm

hurshy

right that's why i didn't know if you were saying the 1.5 was fun or the 13, lol

10:29 pm

dcseain

the 7 year old was given to me -- i'm his third home. I found the 1.5 year old starving on the street at 4 weeks.

10:29 pm

hurshy

poor lil folks

10:29 pm

hurshy

my youngest is in my icon picture there

10:29 pm

hurshy

when she were a little wee thing

10:30 pm

hurshy

she's still fairly wee for a full grown 2 year old cat

10:30 pm

dcseain

fit in my palm, head between my fingers on the walk home.

10:31 pm

hurshy

my wee one here, Rilla, was spotted by a driver who saw something fall from the grasp of a bird of prey. stopped and went to see what it was. two tiny kittens. was on the road where the animal shelter is, so rushed them right in. they estimated they must have been born just that day or the day before. vet tech there took them home to bottle feed. the other one did not make it. :(

10:33 pm

dcseain

oh, wow

10:34 pm

hurshy

yeah so she is about 7.5 pounds now, little smaller than normal

10:35 pm

rubyfoo

l'd love to have a cat, but l Don't know what my 70+NLB DOGS WOULD DO

10:36 pm

hurshy

and she has a deep and abiding concern about covering food so that any leftover teeny bits will not attract predators

10:36 pm

hurshy

i tell her that she and her "brothers" are the only predators IN the house, but i can't convince her not to worry.

10:36 pm

dcseain

oh my, hurshy.

10:36 pm

dcseain

if you got a kitten, it would likely work out, ruby

10:37 pm

hurshy

she also loves to suckle on my hoodie string

10:37 pm

hurshy

we have to do it every morning

10:37 pm

rubyfoo

IT WOULD BE LOVELY; l miss having cats

10:38 pm

dcseain

Malachite, my youngest, suckles on afghans and blankets some still.

10:38 pm

dcseain

i'm not certain she was ever nursed, though i did give her formula until she rejected it.

10:39 pm

rubyfoo

The wet wool probably smells like a wet cat

10:39 pm

hurshy

yeah, i hear that any cat can keep up the suckle habit, regardless of their early life experiences

10:40 pm

rubyfoo

sensate

10:40 pm

rubyfoo

sorry, l'll try to go back to sleep

10:40 pm

dcseain

ty, i got three from that :)

10:41 pm

hurshy

ruby we will be here if you can't fall back asleep

10:41 pm

rubyfoo

thank you

10:44 pm

hurshy

i am upset about some words that i can't put the loch monster suffix on

10:44 pm

hurshy

like rad-

10:46 pm

hurshy

or wee-

10:51 pm

dcseain

me too.

10:51 pm

dcseain

and that it doesn't take rede4 cards

10:52 pm

hurshy

yeah

10:52 pm

hurshy

esp cause we have redear (not today but sometimes) which i'm like, is that red ear, or re dear, or what

10:58 pm

dcseain

exactly

10:59 pm

dcseain

red ear as it turns out. It's a sunfish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redear_s\nunfish

11:25 pm

hurshy

trying to figure out the lower e, besides et4/4

11:25 pm

dcseain

LOL Someone i know just learned that i have a scholarly background in the Spanish Inquisition.

11:26 pm

dcseain

more than one S

11:26 pm

hurshy

oooooh seain that's cool

11:26 pm

hurshy

thanks

11:26 pm

dcseain

thanks. 7 years of research and study. I learnt a lot -- not least about means of torture.

11:27 pm

hurshy

yeah i don 't really want to know the means of torture but would probably be interested in other aspects

11:28 pm

hurshy

i learned enough about torture just with english kings, and more recent atrocities. i think i will decline the spanish inquisition ones.

11:28 pm

dcseain

Well, the Catholic church gave the go-ahead in late Sep 1492, then revoked its sponsorship due to it being more about political than religious things, in 1512. The Inquisition continued to 1868, when Isabella II ended it.

11:28 pm

dcseain

Spain has had two queens -- one started it, the other ended it.

11:28 pm

hurshy

three cheers for isabella II

11:29 pm

hurshy

so it was ferdinand and first isabella that started it?

11:29 pm

dcseain

Isabella I (la catÃ³lica) was a religious zealot who thought religious unity would help unify Spain. She was ever so wrong.

11:29 pm

hurshy

you mean two queens regnant. they've had plenty of other queens, methinks :)

11:29 pm

dcseain

No, just Isabella. Fernando was ruling in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies -- Sicily and Naples at the time.

11:30 pm

hurshy

but it is that same isabella

11:30 pm

hurshy

the thing is, you can be a very specific zealot, or you can be a unifier, but it's a bit hard to be both

11:30 pm

dcseain

Isabella 1 started it. on her own, with help from the Church.

11:31 pm

hurshy

i'm just saying, so that i know, for reference, it is the isabella who we know of from christopher columbus fame, who was married to ferdinand, i'm asking you for confirmation that that's the same isabella

hurshy

or is she one of the queens NON regnant

11:32 pm

hurshy

and this was another isabella altogether

11:32 pm

hurshy

?

11:33 pm

hurshy

i suppose i should have been putting question marks where they belonged earlier so you would know i was asking, lol

11:34 pm

hurshy

cause 1492 seems like that has to be the same isabella of CC fame

11:34 pm

dcseain

Under Spanish Law, ther have been only 2 queens -- Isabella I and Isabella II

11:34 pm

hurshy

but all the kings wives get called the queen, reina, right?

11:34 pm

dcseain

they don't even acknowledge the wives of kings legally, except for descendency.

11:34 pm

hurshy

REALLY

11:34 pm

hurshy

wow

11:34 pm

hurshy

that's pretty diff from england then

11:35 pm

hurshy

i feel like in english history books they still give the label queen to the spanish kings' wives tho

11:35 pm

dcseain

Reina is queen. Married to king is reina consorte

11:35 pm

dcseain

so yeah, different from England.

11:35 pm

hurshy

ok so at least that's got the word queen in it, that's not so shabby

11:36 pm

hurshy

like philip now in england, though. prince consort.

11:36 pm

dcseain

By his choice. He was entitled to have King as title, but refused it.

11:36 pm

hurshy

this would be the ultimate feminist victory: if england decided to CALL any future dude in philip's situation king consort, but not king, not have the power, while his wife is queen, regnant.

11:37 pm

hurshy

like there isn't something about the word king that is INHERENTLY "above" queen

11:37 pm

hurshy

which so far there always has been

11:38 pm

dcseain

yes. Fernando was Rey, Isabella Reina. At time of marriage, she was Reina of Castilla y Leon, he was Rey of AragÃ³n, Catalunya, Sicilia, and Napoli. EspaÃ±a was born of their marriage.

11:38 pm

dcseain

the were Co-regnant.

11:38 pm

hurshy

yes so they were ultimately very co-regnant, right?

11:38 pm

hurshy

haha crossed in cyberspace

11:39 pm

dcseain

rei consorte was the title of the husband of Isabella II

11:39 pm

hurshy

i am teaching 4th/5th grade

11:39 pm

hurshy

and i realized, one of the reasons they were having trouble remembering things in social studies is

11:40 pm

dcseain

oops. Isabella was also Queen of Asturias

11:41 pm

hurshy

if i tell you "the native americans" and "africans" or "african americans" and "americans" and "english" and "british" and "european" and "hispanic" and "middle eastern" - as an adult you know what those things all mean. you know what "black" people look like. at their age they don't know, so they can't picture much of anything that you're telling them in order to keep track of the different groups of people that you are talking about.

11:42 pm

hurshy

so i actually made a powerpoint slideshow with a bunch of pics of faces of all these various people groups and others to say, ok, so when people say "black people" or "african americans", this is what they mean

11:43 pm

hurshy

like they are in a diverse classroom but they don't know that these terms apply, they are beyond color blind

11:43 pm

dcseain

I grew up in an area 30% black and 40% hispanic.

11:43 pm

hurshy

so it's really awesome to me that they don't even know

11:43 pm

dcseain

good on you! They need know that

11:43 pm

hurshy

but it does make talking about history difficult

11:44 pm

hurshy

you don't realize how much visualization aids memory until you realize these kids have none

11:44 pm

hurshy

so one of the funny parts was

11:45 pm

hurshy

i was trying to show them how, hispanic people are a blend of spanish and native american, and like, people have this idea that people from spain look the same, and, i mean, some of them have the stereotypical dark hair and stuff like penelope cruz or antonio banderas, but plenty of them don't. so i showed the difference between "hispanic" and "spanish" including the current royal family of spain, with two little blond girls!

11:46 pm

dcseain

Huh. the Kings of Asturia were elected. So they elected Isabella on the death of her brother. On her death the first royal house of Spain was estapblish -- los Habpsburgos.

11:46 pm

dcseain

hispanic folks from Panama and Dominican Republic are mostly black.

11:46 pm

hurshy

yeah that varies too! gosh. so complex.

11:47 pm

dcseain

though Mestizos -- with indian blood -- is most common in Mesoamerica and Mexico.

11:47 pm

hurshy

LAST year, i was telling the students that i had thought we should say "native americans" because "indians" is just based on a stupid historical mistake of thinking they made it to india when they hadn't. but that i had then read an author who said that most native americans he has spoken to are comfortable with "indian" and use it to describe themselves

11:48 pm

dcseain

Yes, Indian is the preferred term by those peoples.

11:48 pm

hurshy

so when i said THAT, my student who was actually of indian-from-India descent said, "well they may not be insulted, but as an actual Indian, it bothers ME"

11:48 pm

hurshy

and i was like, huh, i forgot to think about that angle

11:55 pm

dcseain

Yeah, people from India find it confusing, so American Indian is okay.
