AD, it is. this game is on Central time. (There's a sliver of the western part of Mich that is in CEntral time, though)

didn't know that book. my son went to U of M and i didn't remember a time diff.

Ad, you are on Central time, then?

good morning all

6:45 am

G'd morning Anyas

AD, okay, I peeked and see you are in Eastern time zone, just like me. 8-)

just found a medieval weapon in the game: seniftepult. Very rare! LOL

sry. i got up for a sec. i'm in Connecticut book.. eastern time

bd gwen, i HAVE a seniftipult here! :)

7:21 am

HIya Feather

7:21 am

hey there preggers

7:21 am

Hi featherbee and Christopher.

7:21 am

Has anyone seen Shorty?

7:21 am

I understand. That's why some of you work through the night!

7:22 am

hmm, we're watching pooh....just realized "christopher" robin....hee hee

7:22 am

Shorty was here yesterday....briefly

7:22 am

Shorty hasn't been around as much as usual, Faerie, I don't think she joins in the chat so much now you're not around.

7:22 am

Al--how is sunny Florida? We got more snow Friday night and I had to get plowed out yesterday AM.

7:22 am

I should try calling her ~ I miss that little squirt ~ did she say if she is still working?

7:23 am

how many times i gotta tell you feather...percival ignacious! no one will have that name.

7:23 am

No one will have that name for two very good reasons.

7:23 am

how about isidore, nutty???

7:23 am

hahaha Haz

7:23 am

lol, it does stick in your mind!

7:24 am

I'm not sure, Faerie, I wasn't on at the same time as her yesterday.

7:24 am

Well, I dragged that out as long as I possibly could. 93 words. Done. ***sigh***

7:24 am

Sooooo is Feather with child?

7:24 am

oh never ing, i think that sounds like agirls name

7:24 am

When I was a pediatrics resident I took care of a premie named Ignatius--they called him Iggy.

7:24 am

yes faerie, 19 weeks along

7:24 am

OMG ***passes out stone cold*** Faerie

7:24 am

WooooHoooo congrats Lori~*~*~*~*~*~*

7:24 am

Scrabbler, Florida is so sunny that we are doing rain dances... dry, dry, dry... can't complain in light of what you guys up north have been enduring.. ty by the way for the Scrabulous reference.. i logged on and played a game and enjoyed it..

7:24 am

Yahooo Lori.

7:24 am

and I did not chat with Shorty yesterday, just noticed her name

7:24 am

You call that dragging it out, Lori? You must never have worked for any government department.

7:25 am

*tosses icy bucket of water on lorip*

7:25 am

brb

7:25 am

LOL Haz, perhaps I should work on that before applying for a Govt job.

7:25 am

Congratulations Feather *jumping up and down*

7:25 am

lol haz....too true

7:25 am

Al, I will pray for rain for Florida.

7:25 am

Thanks nut! Faerie has been harder to find than a tax rebate.

7:25 am

Lori how the heck are you?

7:27 am

Great. I was ignoring chat, so you may have already said, but how's life treating you? Good, I hope.

7:27 am

hehe thanks faerie

7:27 am

not sure if she's more fun than a tax rebate though, guess it depends on the size of the tax rebate. (no offence faerie, do love to shop!)

7:30 am

Nut likes to shop? Where will the revelations end.....

7:30 am

Shoot, my internet disconnected and I missed Haz's answer to my question about her physiotherapy.

7:31 am

i also check to make sure my deodorant is working when i think no one is looking.

7:31 am

Merk - answered at 7.19 if you want to scroll back.

7:32 am

So, do you use the sn5/22 test or is it a visual check, nut?

7:32 am

I have a clear visual, nut.

7:32 am

afternoon all. how disappointing, i fancied a big grid today

7:32 am

sn 5/22 test is adequate

7:33 am

We all fancied a big grid, but we have a baby grid--I guess I will have to do house chores after all.

7:33 am

Good afternoon ren.

7:33 am

Well, I may as well toddle off and Weboggle for a bit. ***sigh*** have a great day everyone!

7:33 am

hi ren8.. know how you feel

7:33 am

buy lorip

7:33 am

bye LoriP.. see you next time

7:33 am

Bye Lori - enjoy the rest of the day.

7:33 am

Bye Lori

7:33 am

no chores on mothers day scrabbler

7:34 am

Oh, Mother's Day in the UK?

7:34 am

It is. But I have chores.....

7:34 am

dont do it haz, i know i wont be

7:35 am

If I don't do it, no-one will eat! Plus, we have the emergency phone line from the surgery so it's all calves scouring and sheep lambing...

7:36 am

This must be a very busy time, Hazel---lots of births. Your husband must be like James Herriot.

7:37 am

It's the busiest time of the year. Thankfully there are more drugs and equipment available nowthan in James Heriiot's time.

7:37 am

No acupuncture available here. And traction ... yikes! I have beee having such lower back pain this month that I can hardly sit at my computer ... and that's baaaad ... news. I love my puter.

calves "scouring"?

7:37 am

Scouring - not cleaning but having diarrhoea....

7:37 am

eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww

7:38 am

Merk - you should get it checked out. Traction isn't as painful as it sounds and it helped me.

7:38 am

Yuckkkkkk

7:38 am

Sorry Une...... we'll go no further.

7:38 am

LOL :-D

7:39 am

Traction feels great, Merk.

7:39 am

Also, inversion therapy--hang upside down

7:39 am

Well, I need my shower. I ate my breakfast as I babbled. It's been fun reading your chats. I wish I had more time to chat. Have a great Sunday and UK Mother's Day.

7:40 am

bye, merk

7:40 am

Bye Merk--enjoy the day!

7:40 am

holy cow, down to 23 left after the first pass through

7:40 am

think i'll save the rest for later

7:40 am

My problem is that my health insurance would not cover most of those things. I am trying to exercise and walk.

7:40 am

Thanks Merk. And have a good day yourself.

7:40 am

You really are a Babble Animal, feather!!

7:40 am

You, too, Scrabbler!

7:41 am

i stepped away for a minute.. did i miss much?

7:41 am

I will.

hiya feather

7:41 am

ohh, sorry, 28 left. gotta rub the rest of the sleep out of my eyes!

7:41 am

Merk - have you tried using anti-inflammatories? If your nerves are jangling, it may help.

10:17 am

fi 6 is like the ri 6 poison, mom

10:18 am

hhhmmm didn't do ri's yet...let me poke around a little ... ty

10:18 am

it's the japanese terrorist stuff made from cashews

10:19 am

wow..you guys are too sophicated for me..lol.. have no clue about jap terror nuts! LOL ;)

10:19 am

it's our civic duty to know all about terror

10:20 am

you are right.... i am a rotten citizen . but i am a legal citizen and that puts me ahead of the crowd these days..given how many illegals are here

10:21 am

fried ri*e, not out but ...

10:21 am

and I didn't know that word either Mom :)

10:22 am

illegals are protected by the govt. not so for us legals.

10:22 am

wait..it was the pl of the fi 5/18..duh..had that one. lol

10:23 am

i'm forever chasing words I already have. ;->

10:23 am

sam, don't get me started...believe me..i am doing a report on illegal immigrants..the stats are STAGGERING...and SCARY.... di dyou hear about the two border agents in jail in TX, ramos and compean???

10:23 am

yes, for shooting an illegal, right?

10:24 am

yes..and the illegal now has immunity, the right to become a citizen here...and is suing us for $5 mill.. oh yeah..and it was the 2nd time he crossed the border, as well.... what is wrong with that picture?

10:24 am

things are the way they are because those in power want it that way. it comes from the top.

an UNARMED illegal, not that I am on his side mind you

10:25 am

couldn't agree more.... greed and corruption will destroy this country.

( :

but that's the reason they are in the most trouble

10:25 am

gramma..the agents had no way of knowing he was unarmed...they need to defend themselves and act as if he was armed...

I disagree with them being sentenced to life, but retraining for sure

10:26 am

cops don't get life for murdering unarmed Americans

understand that, like I said I am not on the illegals side, I am on the agents side

10:26 am

they aren't sentenced for life..they are doing 12 to 13 years....and fyi..the border patrol policy, is 5 days without pay....

10:26 am

perhaps you should read the US attorney's statement on the myths and facts surrounding the case: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/txw/press_re leases/2007/Compean_Ramos_factsheet1.p df

10:27 am

the ins gene, richard skinner, admitted he lied when he said the agents knew the drug dealer was armed..they dind't know

if you put me on the border, I would shoot first and ask questions later too lol

10:27 am

meanwhile, the dea is the biggest BUYER of drugs in the US and nobody knows what they do with them

10:27 am

book..ty i will.....it may help my report.

10:27 am

brb

10:27 am

11:01 am

that was from the f

11:01 am

i have it sam..ty

11:01 am

oh...from the f and the r???

11:01 am

yep. both.

11:01 am

just go it..ty

11:02 am

well, 1/3 of the words are done, see you all later!

11:02 am

later pam

11:05 am

when you use lickety..how do you know which letter they are referring...i.e....they say se.. two words ... how do i know which se they are referring..the top set, or the bottom

11:05 am

you dont :)

11:06 am

you don't mom...

11:06 am

aaahhh...the fine print...

11:06 am

ty...knew there was a catch!

11:08 am

always ;)

11:08 am

well, if you are talking between people who are using lickety's thing WITH BOXES, then, it automatically puts them in the right place for you, as i understand it. so, people who are both doing that, could know more and operate on that basis.

11:09 am

does it find the words for you too??

11:09 am

i have no opinion.

11:09 am

hursh...you need to be pro to see the tiles under the grid, right?? i think that is what you mean.. using them in addition to the list

11:09 am

and type them in?

11:09 am

well the tiles on the grid are hardly necessary if you are using the boxes...

11:10 am

i mean lickety's has two versions, the one where you put them in boxes, and the printable one.

11:10 am

so, if you have a word in the my word list, and forget to type it in lickety's list, you don't get "credit" for it, right...it still shows as if you are missing it....is that right?

11:10 am

um, all that matters for credit for rankings is getting them in here. lickety's is irrelevant.

11:11 am

hhmmm...i have to check and see what you mean hursh..this is the first time i am using lick..and quite frankly, it intimidates me! lol

11:11 am

dont use it then :P

11:11 am

they are separate, if that's what you mean. entering it in one place does not enter it in the other.

11:11 am

i have no opinion.

11:11 am

want to give it a fair try alt..everyone is always saying to use it...

11:12 am

I can't see the point of entering words in lickety... you just have to enter them again in Babble...

11:12 am

and by "everyone" you mean the people who can state their opinion without fear of offending anyone.

11:12 am

not that i have an opinion anyway.

11:12 am

lol :) loads of people simply adore it

11:12 am

i am finding it useful to show what i need and what i have left..but i don't know if i am using it to it's full advantage

11:12 am

i kinda agree with you sherb!

I don't like rework ( :

use licketys just to get a hint of what I need

11:13 am

i have no opinion.

11:13 am

i agree with that too sherb...that is why i am trying to make sure i am using it right..can't see what the big draw is..

11:13 am

hursh...KNOCK IT OFF!!! lol you know you have an opinion and aren't afraid to state it, and that is why we love you!

11:13 am

some people use it so they can play without having a bad score affecting their rankings

which I have to do now cuz I am stuck with 20 left

11:14 am

lots of people just use it to see the list and work out which words they're missing... I find it really useful when I'm down to my last few words...

11:14 am

*cough*

11:14 am

i don't care about the ranking.

11:14 am

need some cough syrup? :)

11:14 am

hurshy has no opinion. really.

11:14 am

nor me

gkmandy, my daughter uses it, types in lickety and here, too much work for my lazy self lol

11:14 am

we are opinionless sisters.

11:14 am

yeah..just like i don't have an opinion... :)

11:14 am

I wish I didn't care about the ranking...

lol ya'll

11:15 am

maybe when i am dead i won't have an opinion, but that is open for debate

11:15 am

my feet are soooooo cold.

11:15 am

i wouldnt like to have an opinion about that debate

11:15 am

only the part from hail onwards is an expression

11:30 am

not even an expression just a sentence

11:30 am

1st cu 5/14 plz

11:30 am

no, looked up pe4 hail... and it exists...

11:31 am

well of course it EXISTS, but i mean, that isn't what she meant

11:31 am

nm got it

11:31 am

she meant cu + ***t: hail ***ts against windows

11:31 am

hello! here to wrap up my last 9

11:31 am

prepare to die?

11:32 am

"stop saying that!"

11:32 am

brb, sneezed

11:32 am

you don't know that for sure...

11:32 am

yeah i do

11:32 am

how?

11:32 am

i hate having a preggo bladder

11:33 am

the way poirot knows whodunit - psychological fittingness

11:33 am

hmmm... not convinced...

11:33 am

RO/4 learning by heart

11:33 am

well you ask her later. i'm sure i'm right.

11:34 am

what are we debating?

11:34 am

something and nothing...

11:35 am

no biggie feather

11:35 am

just scrolled back and saw

11:35 am

i think hursh is right, btw

11:35 am

and i missed the stupid fish eggs one!

11:35 am

anyone know anything about carpenters? if they are hiring someone for carpentry help, and they say you have to have your own tools, what tools have you got to have? do you think you have to have a power sander?

11:35 am

it all revolves around momof3boy's punctuation...

11:36 am

no clue

11:36 am

or lack thereof

11:36 am

Talk about a non-sequitor Hurshy

11:36 am

i have a drill, hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, you know, all the usual stuff

11:36 am

you need to have the tools for the job...

11:36 am

oh i am past mistress of non sequitur conversation

11:36 am

I don't think I would trust a carpenter who didn't have his own tools....

11:37 am

it means that you have to supply whatever is needed...

11:37 am

yes but i want to be prepared

11:37 am

Now let's say they're actually advertising for The Carpenters. I'd guess you'd have to be able to sing & play guitar if you're filling in for Karen

11:37 am

I mean play drums

11:37 am

i might apply to do some work you see, and i want to know if i need a power sander

11:38 am

i suppose they want someone with actual experience anyway, more than just misc projects around the house.

11:38 am

karen carpenter is my dad's favorite singer of all time

11:38 am

there must be a market for female carpenters...

11:38 am

The main thing you need is the ability to look doubtful, able to do sharp intakes of breath, and able to say 'This is going to cost you'.

11:38 am

i'm missing a V word. i have 3 that have to do with saying yay or nay

11:39 am

Oh and scratch your head alot. Shake it & roll your eyes. More eye rolling means more money

11:39 am

lol

11:39 am

lots of women don't like dealing with male builders...

11:39 am

i wish i could DECIDE already! what i want to do, i mean. should i go the manual labor route, office work, something else, WHAT SHOULD I DO?? i just wish i could do a little of everything, it would be so much more fun that way.

11:39 am

Feather.. think what the pres does to a bill he doesnt like

11:39 am

yeah, that's the "nay" one

11:40 am

oh yeah

11:40 am

in the oz books there was the valley of v** (pl it)

11:40 am

take the 5/16 v & remove the middle letter

11:40 am

feather vo4/5 - remove a consonantfrom the vo5/16

11:40 am

well it rhymes with fish eggs, anyway, if you don't know oz.

11:40 am

ahhh

11:40 am

write down your main options, and make a pro and con column for them. write down everything you can think of, and see what comes out the best

11:40 am

depends what your main motivation is... money? ...flexibility? ...enjoyment?

11:40 am

and the word i got before that was the fish egg one! perhaps i should try that pattern on all the ones i'm missing

11:41 am

And Atalante - I see Ireland triumphed after all!

11:41 am

yes! it was a wonderful game!

11:41 am

money: want to make enough, but don't care about getting rich. flexibility is good. enjoyment is high priority. at the moment, having SOMETHING TO DO is key.

11:41 am

i will try ata's pro/con idea.

11:42 am

They'll probably go out in the next round, but it must have been fun.

11:42 am

it sometimes does throw out some interesting things when you're really stuck!

11:42 am

Hi!!

11:43 am

I like your icon Feather....

11:43 am

I'm sure they will, but they've certainly announced their presence to world cricket now

11:43 am

Cinderella seems popular.

11:43 am

hee, you too smd!

11:44 am

Especially if you are a princess!! Hello Mo!

11:44 am

I see you are a sweet little deer Mo!

11:44 am

I was still seeing Ghostbusters... just refreshed...

11:44 am

hi SMDN

11:45 am

I loved Jungle Book!!

11:45 am

some thing to keep your tools sharp is essential

11:45 am

hurshy- you might want to try a carpenter's helper or apprentice first

11:45 am

right. it would just help so much if i knew what i wanted to do, so that i could do the first steps of it.

11:46 am

Now I'm the king of the swingers Oh, the jungle VIP...

11:46 am

can you get some voluntary work for the time being? to at least give you something *to do*

11:46 am

oh come on now! stupid pf.

11:46 am

trade or vocational school?

11:47 am

you sing so sweetly sherb :)

11:47 am

why, thank you mo :)

11:47 am

well i'm applying to things, you know. i have thought about asking the maintenance guys here at school if i can help them on a volunteer basis to learn things.

11:48 am

I would!

11:48 am

E help please? i have the one that sounds like a plural letter, and the one that is E + bug

11:48 am

Looks like a pussy cat of a grid!! Is it??

11:48 am

yep

11:48 am

get that word feather, or e***!

11:48 am

yes, i'm going listless, and only started asking for help with 9 left

11:48 am

stop that, or e***!!!

11:48 am

Afternoon, word wranglers. Hey, Hurshy, volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity if they have them around you. Good way to pick up carpentry details for free while doing good for others.

11:49 am

ty sherb

11:49 am

and hursh

11:49 am

left

11:49 am

we hain't got that nearby. maintenance at school would work much better.

11:50 am

Could you do a proofreading course?

11:50 am

I guess the theme today is Disney

11:50 am

as long as there is no health and safety issues, i'm sure they would welcome a helping hand

11:50 am

Think of all the lovely errors you could find and correct.

11:50 am

or indexing. you'd love indexing

11:50 am

lol Haz

11:50 am

missing a T. i have 3 te words, 3 ti, 3 to, and 2 tr.

11:51 am

oh i'm already great at proofreading.

11:51 am

what's indexing? you mean like filing?

11:51 am

Hello everyone. Looked in earlier this morning, and found a few words, looks fairly easy. Just come back for another go, still have 52 to find

11:51 am

making indexes up for books

11:51 am

same as me feather...

11:51 am

JFB ... Yes your favourite Disney character.

11:51 am

lol sherb, ah well

11:51 am

hmm, no, that sounds dull

11:51 am

its a very fiddly, very interesting career

11:52 am

There are professional proofreaders -they need to use a certain 'language' and symbols to indicate mistakes, but there's bound to be a way of doing something like that.

11:52 am

see this is the trouble. proofreading is fun, occasionally. lots of things are fun, occasionally. but ALL THE TIME??? i don't know what is fun enough to do full time.

11:52 am

got the last one sherb, means group of 3

11:53 am

Nothing is fun all the time, hurshy. That's life.

11:53 am

unfortunately one's job isn't always *fun*

11:53 am

thanks feather :)

11:53 am

down to 4 left, 2 Ps and 2 Cs. i'm guessing they're single/plural pairs.

11:53 am

i wish i could do a little of a lot of things. i hate specialization.

11:53 am

fun all the time? ...

11:54 am

try teaching - that's a little of a lot of things and it IS fun all the time!!!

11:54 am

i'm good at a lot of things, and i want to utilize all those things

11:54 am

But you can't so you're going to have to decide on something.

11:54 am

lol molly

11:54 am

what about working for a temp agency?

11:54 am

Reality, Hursh. Reality. It bites. Luckily, most jobs only last 8 hours a day. That gives you 18 hours remaining to do a variety of fun things.

11:54 am

oh haz, you are so very practical.

11:54 am

I know - I'm sickening.

11:54 am

you need a general management job... they usually involve variety...

11:55 am

i've registered with one, feather. and i've applied for a variety of things, so i'm just going to see what happens.

11:55 am

cool

11:55 am

i dunno, telling people what to do could be v. hard.

11:55 am

Judi - do you know something we don't?

11:56 am

most things you get paid for are hard!

11:56 am

No! Telling people what to do is great! It beats having them tell you what to do. Tis better to crack the whip than receive the sting.

11:56 am

I love telling people what to do!

11:56 am

i also need to wait a couple of weeks to find out a key fact that may influence which direction (geographically) i am interested in going.

11:56 am

Hurshey...if you will allow me my two cents worth..I love being a mother....I love being a grandmother...but there have been times when I have found it difficult in those roles. But as with everything, it is a one day at a time.....

11:57 am

And I meant 16 hours remaining after the working eight.

11:57 am

i don't like telling people what to do at all... i'm very non-hierarchical. i don't like taking orders OR giving them.

11:57 am

;)

11:57 am

ok, i have 4 ci, 3 cl and 4 cu. any clue what i may be missing?

11:57 am

well SMD, i am afraid i don't like small children, and even if i was interested in having kids, i'm working on leaving my husband, you know, so i def don't want to have them with him...

11:57 am

ok, so a corporate-type job probably isn't for you...

11:58 am

plural the cu5

11:58 am

no, i hate corporate. they take themselves too seriously.

11:58 am

6 x cu

11:58 am

ok, thanks

11:58 am

already have that one luwanda. going to monkey a bit more.

11:58 am

march 21 is on the cu**

11:58 am

There's a cu5/14 at the start of the series.

11:58 am

yep, that's me... very serious...

11:59 am

got one

11:59 am

the site brabble sent me to, that tries to help you figure out career issues, says that a majority of available jobs in the marketplace at any given time are not advertised. so how the heck do i find them???

11:59 am

word of mouth...

11:59 am

no Hurshey...that was not my point...everything in life is not fun all the time......I just used motherhood as an example. I would never encourage anyone to have children or not to have children....that is personal...

11:59 am

ask

11:59 am

Networking.

11:59 am

cu 5 - i won't *** my cat on the table

11:59 am

well i don't mean everyone sherb :) but like, when i was in boston, i walked by this cafe and there were all these people in suits on laptops and cellphones, being all busy, and it was icky

11:59 am

ask friends, family, Babblers, anybody...

12:00 pm

this is my other problem, i don't know anybody. that is part of why i want a job, so i will know some people.

12:00 pm

Monster.com, various other online job posting sites. Community bulletin boards.

12:00 pm

that was it luwanda, ty

12:00 pm

i have been looking online, tons.

12:00 pm

i need local friends, and i just haven't got them. pllt.

12:00 pm

how about the g's

12:01 pm

one is aladdin's pal

12:01 pm

hursh, I've had good luck with america's job board... ajb.com or net or org

12:01 pm

i forget which one

12:01 pm

You're being too judgemental on the one hand, and too woolly on the other.

12:01 pm

the other two start with the same first 3 letters

12:01 pm

oh, of course SMD, i see. yes, i don't mean i expect something to be fun all the time. it's more, how does anybody cope with doing just one thing so much of the time?

12:01 pm

thanks jbp, will check it out.

12:01 pm

explain please, haz.

12:01 pm

you pick something that has built in variety

12:01 pm

+00.

12:02 pm

like for me, teaching...each year is a different class, different kids

12:02 pm

oops, dropped keyboard.

12:02 pm

hi hurshy -- one great job resource is to look through the yellow pages and make a list of the places that seem like a good fit for your skills, and are also places you would feel comfy in (for example, non-profit vs. profit, private school vs. public). Then call up and ask for an informational interview - explain you are only exploring career opps in their field, not specific ones at their place. That opens doors like you wouldn't believe!

12:02 pm

ok, what has built in variety.

12:02 pm

they did recommend that on that website too, ch... maybe i will try that.

12:02 pm

hurshy - it's the people you work with that make a job fun, not what you do...

12:03 pm

Right, the judgemental bit is looking at people in Boston and deciding 'that's not for me' - just on the basis of what you perceive their lives to be like. The woolly bit is that you don't know what you want, only what you think you don't want. Time to make decisions.

12:03 pm

you might also want to find a life coach... i know it sounds hokey and new-agey, but a friend of mine used one, and it was a very good wxperience

12:03 pm

and perhaps some things have more variety within them than is apparent at first. not coming up with any good examples right now though

12:03 pm

oh haz, i wish i were like you!

12:03 pm

off to search for my last to Ps

12:03 pm

two*

12:04 pm

So many people say that.......!!!!

12:04 pm

i'm such a doofus.

12:04 pm

Along with a life coach, you might want to look up a career counselor. You might find someone at a local college or university. The temp agency might be able to point you to someone in that field.

12:04 pm

oh haz, i wish i were like you!

12:04 pm

done!!!!!

12:04 pm

i was out of work for 22 months (not that I was counting) between careers and I have found ways in my current Dilbert incarnation to learn new stuff and i dig that

12:04 pm

i don't deal well with being bored

12:05 pm

Hello, folks.

12:05 pm

yea, Feather!!

12:05 pm

hi Vic

12:05 pm

I tend to take decisions quickly, act on them and am happy with them. My sister-in-law agonises between the practicalities of what she needs to do and the feelings she has. Result is paralysis.

12:05 pm

hi Vi! yay Feather!

12:05 pm

An approach that helped me when I first arrived was to say, I'll explore different doors with an attitude of 1) NOT accepting the first offer and 2) NOT thinking that whatever job I land is the one I have to keep -- in other words, I won't commit to a job for years, but give myself permission to look for something else if I decide the first isn't what I wanted.

12:05 pm

ge5/14?

12:05 pm

Hursh, did I understand you to say you decided not to move to Boston because you saw some boring folks in business suits?

12:05 pm

i hate being paralyzed also

12:06 pm

hurshy, have you tried any of those online career tests? http://www.questcareer.com/car eer_assessment_resources.html

12:06 pm

also, not being able to find words in the grid, I hate.

12:06 pm

hi Vi :)

12:06 pm

ge5/14 - ge plus the start of the Christmas saint

12:06 pm

well no vi, i mean, um, it was that i was just overwhelmed with doing everything at once - marital separation, moving, trying to start working full time...

12:06 pm

yes, i've been taking career tests galore.

12:06 pm

ty that's ge5/16

12:07 pm

haz, I have that one but it shows as ge5/16 on my score. ?

12:07 pm

but I digress, hursh. No decision you make, barring complete lunacy like doing hard drugs or voting Republican, is a bad one

12:07 pm

So it is, change the last consonant for a vowel. (sorry!)

12:07 pm

ty

12:08 pm

great point, jbp -- I got trapped once into thinking that every decision I made HAD to be 'right', instead of giving myself permission to just 'explore' different paths, and change paths when I decided.

12:08 pm

i know that i love solving problems, of all sorts - mechanical, mathematical, etc. i like to be creative. i don't want to work more than forty hours a week at a job, period, so i can't do what all my friends did and be a doctor or lawyer or consultant. and i don't love anything enough to bother getting a PhD in it.

12:08 pm

voting republican: what if it's mccain?

12:08 pm

thanks, haz - I needed that one and didn't know it!

12:08 pm

But, honey, you are getting yourself into a circular argument. You can't move until you have friends, and you can't get friends until you have a job, and you can't find a job because you haven't moved?

12:08 pm

getting a PhD is a bit harder than that :P

12:09 pm

You're welcome ch1212.

12:09 pm

I was loving the college teaching, but not all the bs that went with it... the 40/week gig is great in comparison

12:09 pm

sounds like some sort of trade job might be good then...like you were saying at the beginning, carpentry

12:09 pm

no no vi. i WILL get a job, by hook or by crook, despite that i don't know people.

12:09 pm

I would love to work a 40 hour week...

12:09 pm

it would just help if i knew what kind of job i wanted to get.

12:09 pm

That's the spirit! I totally understand the interest in a little bit of everything. I am the same way.

12:09 pm

i'm sorry, i'm being horribly difficult.

12:10 pm

hurshy it sounds like you would make a great substitute teacher while you're looking for something with more stability. Subs are always needed, especially mathmatical ones. ANd no , you're not being difficult -- you're just going through a difficult time. ((( hugs )))

12:10 pm

imagine if you went into a contracting business....lots of math and problem solving, lots of creativity

12:10 pm

i live in a pretty depressed area of the northeast, and GE is the game in town here, unless you work for the State. I've round granite.com really useful in finding gigs. Their recruiters are generally really good.

12:10 pm

no, you're not... you're just chatting with friends...

12:10 pm

i might like to be an all-round handy-girl, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, locksmithing...

12:10 pm

You're only be ing horribly difficult to yourself, you know, poor cherub!

12:10 pm

yes, that's what i'm thinking hursh

12:10 pm

You don't have to stay in any one job for life, unless you really love it. Why not just get a job, get some experience and work on that.

12:11 pm

i'm still doing my math tutoring, ch.

12:11 pm

look up local contactors, see if you can get a foot in the door there. after you have experience, see about starting your own business, or just stay with them

12:11 pm

the one thing i probably won't want to do is have my own business, i'm not entrepreneurial at all... unless it just happens, or i find a partner with a business spirit.

12:11 pm

you're not being difficult,Hursh,. You're processing a lot of different information, using the synergy of our Babble group to generate a series of options to... not so much with the corporate speak am I

12:11 pm

that sounds like a plan hurshy... now, you could work for someone else, or set up on your own...

12:12 pm

can i have help with the 2nd and 4th i please

12:12 pm

i have hotels and bugs

12:12 pm

in6/21 and in7/32 - encourage, especially in a negative sense.

12:12 pm

one job i applied for involves going around to people and evaluating them for family court, making recs to the court about visitation rights, custody, etc. do you think i'd be good at that?

12:12 pm

in6/7 - provoke(s)

12:13 pm

ty i caught it as u answered

12:13 pm

It depends - could you be dispassionate about difficult situations?

12:13 pm

i think you'd be fine at that Hursh... and until you try it , you won't know if you like it.

12:13 pm

do you think you would enjoy it?

12:13 pm

do *you* think you'd be good at that?

12:14 pm

i THINK i could be dispassionate about people. if it were animals, no. lol.

12:14 pm

I think you could be very good at that... But I know I would find it much too depressing. Would it bother you that way?

12:14 pm

Maybe you could look for work at an animal shelter?

12:14 pm

i couldn't bear to say who should get the dog or the cat - but the kids - eh.

12:15 pm

see now THAT would be depressing, vi. i'd want to take them all home, and i couldn't...

12:15 pm

lol. But you know, "eh" may not be the right attitude either!

12:15 pm

hurshy that specific job is one I'm familar with. Creative, and rule-oriented is important, but a good grasp of family dynamics and knowledge of local resources is key, along with the ability to coordinate with other members of the eval team. Usually probation, schools, FST, DSS, and other service providers are included.

12:15 pm

well, i mean it isn't like i wouldn't CARE at all. it just wouldn't be as heart-wrenching as it would for many people.

12:16 pm

well the job i applied for has the word "trainee" in it so i'm assuming they... train you.

12:16 pm

Unless it's just divorce court, in which case it's sometimes just the one position.

12:16 pm

i don't know what it is exactly, if they contact me i suppose i will find out more.

12:16 pm

That would be a good assumption - if you get the job, go for it, try it. There'll probably be a trial period on both sides.

12:17 pm

yes, that is what i'm figuring, haz. that is why i am applying for a variety of things. what will be, will be.

12:18 pm

points total please?

12:18 pm

Also, remember what someone said earlier: often your enjoyment of and fit in a job have more to do with the people you work with than the actual position or the field you're in. So you're approach to apply for all sorts of things is smart.

12:18 pm

1187

12:18 pm

That could be a good theme for a song. I wonder if anybody has written one?

12:18 pm

Hurshy, you could put in the job title into O'Net Online -- it's chock full of info about any type of job. www.online.onetcenter.org

12:18 pm

oh good, i've actually done something smart!

12:18 pm

*your approch*

12:18 pm

lol haz

12:18 pm

Aargh! YOUR APPROACH!

12:19 pm

no need to shout, Vi...

12:19 pm

Well, at least you didn't type you're approach.....

12:19 pm

LOL. i'm working on my pro-con list and every job has in the con column "could get boring".

12:19 pm

Haz, it'll sound better in Italian. Trust me on this!

12:19 pm

You think so, Vicuna?

12:20 pm

all jobs can get boring

12:20 pm

i also applied for a secretarial job at west point. i visited there once and it's fascinating. DEF would not want to be in the military myself, but being a civilian employee could be cool. though i would have to think about whether that works, with my opposition to the war...

12:20 pm

I dunno, sherb. I figured by the third attempt I was entitled to shout. But I didn't realize I was so close to your ear. Sorry!

12:20 pm

and it's real pretty, with the river.

12:20 pm

that's okay if it has 'boring' in the list because again, you don't have to decide on a lifelong job right now. In fact, right now may be a terrible time to make a decision like that. Maybe it's okay to make a decision of, "this job looks interesting enough that I'll commit for one year, then reevaluate."

12:20 pm

All jobs are boring sometimes.

12:21 pm

yes, one year is do-able.

12:21 pm

and i can be neat to see what you learn from the boredome.

12:21 pm

assuming ANYBODY will hire me for anything!! and if they won't, i'll volunteer with the maintenance guys until i have experience enough to get hired doing that stuff.

12:21 pm

think of it as being a foreign exchange student for a year. try it pit amd see

12:21 pm

When my kids complain they're bored, I tell them that's a problem they have to solve.

12:22 pm

i wonder if some of the difficulty is not only trying to find something that will be a good fit, but trying to deal with all those other HUGE life changing events that are going on with you right now. if i were you, i'd be tired of making any more big decisions!

12:22 pm

A teacher friend was commenting on how many of his students are wanting to do forensic work. All on the basis of CSI making it look so glamorous, whereas the reality is probably completely different and yes, boring.

12:22 pm

Of course, they're four, so they just give me a look and keep on whining...

12:22 pm

hurshy - you're obsessing too much about what you'll be doing... try to think about the people you'll be with... they can make any job fun...

12:22 pm

And dear hurshy, a huge gift would be accepting a job that won't overwhelm you while you spend the first year recovering your equilibrium from this huge change. So maybe a job that you could do blindfolded gives you a 'rest' in order to be gentle with yourself for awhile... just a thought.

12:22 pm

yes feather, what's hard is that... i'm hoping to get to a point where i can support myself in not too long, so that i can move out.

12:22 pm

And if you do decide to go into CSI - they're all awfully good looking, but I don't know whether you've to supply your own torch or not.

12:23 pm

great point CH

12:23 pm

all good points. :)

12:23 pm

I always wanted to be a detective. Except that then I'd have to associate with scary people.

12:23 pm

lol Haz :)

12:24 pm

actually, this is a lot more fun this way, staying here for now i'm able to look around at more types of jobs and take my time about this a little more. if i'd gone ahead and gone to boston, i'd stick to just looking at office jobs just cause i know i could do it and i'd be even MORE eager to start earning some cash.

12:24 pm

Hi everyone!

12:24 pm

Haz and hurshy are you finished?

12:25 pm

Hello periwinkle.

12:25 pm

hi peri!

12:25 pm

Fireworks..... easy one today! :)

12:25 pm

with grid, yes. with agonizing... i'll try to stop. lol

12:25 pm

hi peri, welcome to the meeting! today's topic of discussion is what hurshy wants to be when she grows up

12:25 pm

Yes, periwinkle, I'm done.

12:25 pm

wtg ypsigirl!

12:25 pm

8 to go!

12:25 pm

yes, but at least in Boston you would have had to make a decision...

12:25 pm

I am done too, Haz

yay fireworks

12:26 pm

Well, hurshy, I'm trying not to *sn5/22* take it too personally *sn5/22* that you aren't moving here. *Sn7/52*

congrats to all the finishers

12:26 pm

Well done periwinkle - did you find it a little short for comfort?

12:26 pm

lol vic

12:26 pm

thanks, vic!

12:26 pm

Once hurshy figures out what she wants to do with she grows up maybe you nice folks will help me decide what to do with the rest of my life :)

12:26 pm

maybe in a while, vi :)

12:26 pm

:)

12:27 pm

I was it was longer Haz, and it turned out not to be as hard as it looked

12:27 pm

off to sudoku and then I have no excuse to not exercise :)

12:27 pm

i figure i'll get a job that is a long commute, and then move closer to it, and then get a new job that is a long commute, and then move closer to it, and eventually i'll wind up near boston. lol.

12:27 pm

Oh, another babbler ready to be bossed about by the rest of us!

12:27 pm

(ch, did you get the sn8, too?)

12:27 pm

i *wish*

12:27 pm

yes, thanks!

12:27 pm

el4,5 please

12:28 pm

what el++ do you ned Kristine

12:28 pm

4,5

12:28 pm

i could use a clue on the sn8

12:28 pm

It was icy, and sleety yesterday and I went to dig out my car. It was blocked by a ton of ice (well maybe not a ton, but a lot) a young man asked if I needed help and I said yes. He dug me out first and then his own car. Turns out he is my upstairs neighbor. What a nice person

et4/5 is same as ot4/5

12:28 pm

i have or el** and i have f spelled out

12:28 pm

sn8 - pl of sn7, see 12:26

el4/4 is or el**!

12:29 pm

thanks vic

12:29 pm

there's an el4/4 and an et4/5

12:29 pm

ok, you need E + little bug

12:29 pm

young men are like jobs. nice at first, and then they get boring.

that is so cool peri

12:29 pm

i need 4,5

12:29 pm

how sweet, peri! I went to dig out my beloved's car and after 10 minutes of getting all the snow and ice off his car, I realized --- it wasn't his car! It was our neighbor's car, which looks like my husband's!

12:29 pm

ok little bug hmmmmmmmm

12:29 pm

Luckily, you can be promiscuous with jobs!

12:30 pm

that's for the ET, not the EL, the bug one

12:30 pm

I was thrilled, it would have taken me forever. Snow I can deal with but ice it heavy to lift

12:30 pm

hehe

12:30 pm

you ust have a low boredom threshold hursh...

12:30 pm

fireworks

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

Oh my, ch1212 hope your neighbor was pleased

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

yay luwanda! now get your elbow off the enter key!

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

That's one happy neighbor, ch. Consider it going into your pay it forward account.

12:31 pm

got it ty e1

12:31 pm

So, did you heap the snow back onto the neighbour's car again?

12:31 pm

i couldn't control my elf

12:31 pm

LOL! No but I certainly got my exercise!

12:31 pm

I am looking for part time work and do not want to do office work. The Bunny job did not happen and I have not heard about the Reiki position.

12:31 pm

Well, send that elf to obedince school!

12:32 pm

ch, you wanna move in next door to us?

12:32 pm

obviously my fingers don't listen

12:32 pm

LOL

12:33 pm

i don't get the bug clue

12:33 pm

That reminds me of the poster that one of the kids had made to hang in the middle school where I taught: RUGS DON'T THRILL. THEY KILL.

12:33 pm

cch1212, he's probably thinking that you're such a thoughful person

12:33 pm

peri, do you sew? i'm on "alterations: clothing" in the yellow pages...

12:33 pm

jbp, you get LYme disease from them

12:33 pm

It's part of a bug, more of a twitch really.

12:34 pm

oh good heavens, am I misspelling it, haz? Thanks for the correction -- I'm guilty of that a lot!

12:34 pm

ohhh, it took me this long to get that vic!

12:34 pm

The bug has a k on the end.

12:34 pm

no I don't sew hurshy altho I can manage to sew on a button and hem a pair of pants if I have to. usually use tape on the bottom of the slacks though :)

12:34 pm

lol, feather!

12:35 pm

how do you feel about art? you could work in a gallery.

12:35 pm

i do NOT want to do asbestos removal.

12:35 pm

gotta go visit my beautuiful mother in the nursing home.

12:35 pm

I once went through all the job listed in the Occupational Handbook in the library and nothing really appealed to me.

12:36 pm

hurshy, what about having your own business?

12:36 pm

i'll be babbling more since i'm on spring break for three weeks

12:36 pm

astrologer?

12:36 pm

have fun luwanda

12:36 pm

no, i'm SO non-entrepreneurial. if i were to find someone who was that would be the entrepreneur, maybe.

12:36 pm

cu later

12:36 pm

and i think astrology is stupid :)

12:37 pm

naptime. bbl!

12:37 pm

36 left kristine u?

12:37 pm

33 left

12:37 pm

ok, you've still got B-Z to go...

12:37 pm

12:37 pm

gettin the kids dressed they arent goping out are they ?.

12:38 pm

going*

12:38 pm

Bye, Luwanda. Bye, feather.

12:38 pm

what about a tour guide hurshy

12:38 pm

Those card makers must need people to write their verses. Or obituary notices for the newspapers.

12:38 pm

no in side

12:38 pm

good

12:38 pm

Haz, can we combne the two?

12:38 pm

or working at the zoo,

12:38 pm

being a tour guide could be fun

12:39 pm

hurshy, have you checked out craigs list

12:39 pm

i don't know what there is to give a tour of

12:39 pm

and we haven't got a zoo

12:39 pm

yes, peri, i check it about once an hour :)

12:39 pm

do I get a commision if you get a job in a field I suggested, hurshy :)

12:39 pm

I check it often too, hursh

12:39 pm

MAN there are a lot of lawyers out there!

12:39 pm

Hursh, where are you located?

12:39 pm

we have tons of lawyers too

12:39 pm

There are some favourites used frequently here 'God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb, He gently closed her weary eyes, and whispered 'Peace be thine' (that's for expected death)

12:40 pm

you've got to attorney...

12:40 pm

hurshy are there museums in your area or local areas of interest

12:40 pm

in the middle of nowhere, jbp... rural northwest CT

12:40 pm

For unexpected death ' I was not there to see you die, to hold your hand and say goodbye, but I will remember my whole life through, the last few words I had with you.'

12:40 pm

i dunno, we've got a tiny museum i think...

12:40 pm

near Stanford?

12:40 pm

It's fun to be open to new things, though. I walked into a radio station once to ask if they had an opening for a janitor or secretary. I wound up being hired to read news, then 10 years later I was hosting the morning show live. Then I applied for a job as a job search consultant (with no experience, again) and was hired for that! Loved it for 4 years. Then became a Project Director for a young offender program. (Again, no experience). And I have no formal education beyond the usual. So I'm just saying this as example of being open to risking and failing. I've had a blast and been lucky enough to be fairly successful. I suspect you would be too, Hurshy.

12:41 pm

oops, sorry - didn't realize I wrote a book there. Brevity, they name is NOT ch1212! :D

12:41 pm

How far are you from Mystic?

12:42 pm

no, it's almost two hours to stamford

12:42 pm

quite far from mystic. unfortunately. i love mystic.

12:42 pm

i hope i get lucky like that ch - at least as far as getting hired goes.

12:42 pm

ch1212 you have been quite lucky in the search for jobs

12:42 pm

ah, ok. is there a fair amount of land development going on by you?

12:42 pm

We just discovered Mystic Pizza - it's not out West.

12:42 pm

LOL there is a store called "Lox Stock and Bagels"

12:42 pm

i don't know jbp. there doesn't appear to be much of anything going on...

12:43 pm

ch1212 was the job search consultant position at the radio station

12:43 pm

bc you could be a great resource for either the developpers or for the environmental impact follks. you're articulate and can think on your feet

12:43 pm

i'd work in a bakery except you have to go in SO EARLY.

12:43 pm

maybe i could do that anyway.

12:43 pm

there are two TV stations around the corner from me

12:43 pm

there was a Lox stock and bagels in Champaign when I lived there

12:43 pm

ooh, hot air balloon rides. that would be fun. but only seasonal, i spose.

12:44 pm

you also get out early in a bakery, right?>

12:44 pm

what about working in an ad agency hurshy

12:44 pm

33 left

12:44 pm

Oh, you are past the A's and into the B's

12:44 pm

well peri, i've thought about that. could be fun - but do i REALLY want to spend my time convincing people to spend money on things they don't really need?

12:44 pm

31 left

12:44 pm

no, peri -- the job search consultant was actually for a contractor who worked with low income families to help them access education and jobs to break the cycle of welfare.

12:45 pm

I worked briefly in an ad agency years ago and did not like it for that reason

12:45 pm

okay, ch1212, I liked the title- job search coordinatior

12:45 pm

In radio I wrote ad copy, produced commercials, worked an on-air shift, wrote news stories, and coordinated events like home and garden show and live remote broadcasts.

12:45 pm

i could work in a bank, but it would probably be very dull.

12:45 pm

Hi, any hints for sn8,70?

12:46 pm

My beloved is calling -- bbl.

12:46 pm

bank = very very dull

12:46 pm

when you have a cold you have the sn++++++

12:46 pm

But you don't know! You have to try - you're letting your imagination cripple you.

12:46 pm

is there an NPR station by you Hursh?

12:46 pm

Thanks, jbp. :)

12:46 pm

my very first job out of high school was a credit investigator in a bank, just did that till I had saved some money for college

12:47 pm

i canm't find any C words

12:47 pm

Awww, don't tell Lewis Carroll that Enable won't accept "toves"!

12:47 pm

welcome ehnotsomuch

12:47 pm

i don't think there is an NPR station... there really isn't much of anything...

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

national public radio

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

12:50 pm

ceiling cleaning would be perfect for jermaine if basketball doesn't pan out...

12:51 pm

i'm off to shovel out my car the rest of the way. 24 left, hope to be back later,

12:51 pm

Hursh,

Old Man Winter, apparently, nut!

We got snow Fri overnight--6-8 inches, but it is sunny and glorious today.

1:14 pm

Wow, great work, Hi there!

1:14 pm

I have the same list Scrabbler, but need TWO more F...

1:14 pm

YAY Hi there!

ah brb

1:14 pm

oops. no, I guess I am looking for another fi...

1:14 pm

fi 5/6 is same as ri 5/6

1:15 pm

One fi = 5 = same structure as a ri5

1:15 pm

fi x 5

1:15 pm

thanks hi there (now just one more F)

1:15 pm

what is there a lot of? there's a lot of attorneys, physicians, and pizza.

1:15 pm

TY, Ata, so I need another fi

1:15 pm

which means it was the plural of that I needed!

1:15 pm

plural!

1:15 pm

lol

1:15 pm

down to 22!

1:16 pm

Me too, Stid---F's are done. 13 to go

1:16 pm

go Scrabbler!

1:16 pm

Looking for a career/job, Hursh?

1:17 pm

yep. was advised to go through yellow pages for ideas.

has anyone tried burt's bees products? i got a sampler and was very disappointed. someone told me their tinted sunscreen is good

1:17 pm

Hmmm....what service could you provide that is needed? Pet sitting? With math tutoring on the side?

1:18 pm

seen, but not tried, TO - sounds stingy

1:18 pm

I have used some of the burt's bees things and they work well enough. I am allergic to most things that have lots of chemicals though so I don't have a comparison to the commoner products.

no they are just....waxy.

1:19 pm

I hav e9 RI and 6 RO -- what am I missing please?

I want to try stella mccartney's new line of products

1:19 pm

Beeswax

th and lotion is awful

does absolutely nothing

1:20 pm

You have 3 more ri's than I have found, Stid, and I have 6 ro's

1:21 pm

thanks Scrabbler, so looking for at least another RO!

1:21 pm

10 x ri

1:21 pm

I mean 12!

ok scrabs i get th epoint but i mean really waxy....vaseline does the same thing much more cost effectively

1:22 pm

going through the yellow pages is fun

1:22 pm

i found out there is a tennis and swim club

1:22 pm

I like Aveeno--oatmeal based products

1:22 pm

and a literary agent, if i ever get around to writing a book

1:22 pm

got another RO so another Three RI... thanks Atalante

hurshy, are you anywhere near where you went to school? you can still use their career services

1:23 pm

can even use their career center if you are not near them!

i love the bar complexion soap

1:23 pm

i'm about 2 hours away.

check that out.

1:23 pm

the trouble is, i dunno if my college has career services for things that don't involve consulting, i-banking, or advanced degrees.

email them

1:24 pm

why aren't undertakers in the yellow pages?

1:24 pm

3 ri's to go still......arrrrggghhh

they have how to write a skills based resume i preseum - every career center does

look under funeral homes

1:24 pm

funeral homes, hurshy -- no longer a separate listing in most places

1:24 pm

They are probably listed as funeral directors

1:24 pm

ah

1:27 pm

what does it say about me that i'd rather plan funerals than weddings?

1:27 pm

i mean there are lots of other things i'd rather do than either. but given those two choices...

1:27 pm

I have two left now Scrabbler: RI 5/6 combo poison; ri 4/7 to be full of something; ri 4/10 a musical passage, then the 6 is a water disturbance in a stream, the seven is plural, then plural the musical passage; then an unruly crowd; then a holy ceremony and it's plural... (guess I only miss one actually)

1:27 pm

Hursh, have you ever looked at "What Color is Your Parachute?"

1:27 pm

no but i've tried lots of career tests.

1:28 pm

oh -- I forgot the chasm word, RI 4/7 like the great RI** valley in africa where Lucy was found

1:28 pm

what i know about myself... is that i like lots of different things a little bit, but i don't like anything a LOT.

1:28 pm

oh well. :)

1:28 pm

I had forgotten the plural of religious ceremony--so I am done with the R's

1:28 pm

I think you are a good writer hurshy, and good at analyzing situations. I suspect you appreciate art and ideas... what about working at a library or museum?

1:29 pm

2 ri4's--Reduction In ForceS

1:29 pm

well then cousin, which one am *I* missing?

1:29 pm

ha! thanks :-)

1:29 pm

1:30 pm

And then ri4= rhymes with a padded heel l*** ( for heel pain)

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

Oh, you got that---OK, you are now done with the R's too.

1:30 pm

1:48 pm

the best part of motherhood!!! ;)

1:49 pm

ALL mom's are heroes!!!

1:49 pm

that and wet oatmeal kisses LOL

1:49 pm

now a word of advice: stidkid#1 (who doesn't feel pain as intensely as most people) once had a small cut on a heel that got badly infected. Because normally covered by sock and shoe we didn't notice until he spiked a fever and had a red streak up his leg. Not to worry you, just check that sucker every so often for a while!

1:50 pm

oooh...emergency tetanus shot?

1:50 pm

sounds like mine stid...my ex popped a q-tip through his eardrum, and we only knew because we saw blood on the towel

1:50 pm

cathy, not for piece of glass

1:50 pm

stid -- I have to leave now for lunch with a group containing Hetty

1:50 pm

ER visit, IV fluids and antibiotics and then home with a ten-day course of something powerful

1:50 pm

please give hetty a hug from me! enjoy the birthday luncheon!

1:51 pm

say hello to hetty for all of us, jilli!

1:51 pm

scrab..i needed a tetanus shot for a cut with a piece of glass...

1:51 pm

i'll be checking for sure. when i was a kid i stepped on a rusty nail...was taken in for a shot, "just in case".

1:51 pm

Stid---I see that in the office, usually a boy that doesn't note an injury---gets a cellulitis

1:51 pm

will do, stid -- and again, did you get the cu clue at 1:47?

1:51 pm

yes jill, thanks! *kisses Jill*

1:52 pm

cellulitis is what?

1:52 pm

Hi got 11 ri's and 4 ro's but struggling with the others can anyone help please?

1:52 pm

so now down to 4.

1:52 pm

If the tetanus shot was < 5 yrs ago then all set anyway

1:52 pm

:-)

1:52 pm

nasty

1:52 pm

what do you need, stid?

1:52 pm

he's fine i'm sure...he's just now heading out to take buster for a walk!

1:52 pm

steph..what ones are you missing?

cellulitis is a dangerous infection that can turn into osteomyelitis

1:52 pm

cellulitis = tissue infection (redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness), and red-streak = lymphangitis

1:52 pm

cellulitis is when the tissue is no longer confined to an identifiable location, it's sort of within all the muscles and stuff. The whole area gets hard and swollen but doesn't come to a head to drain

1:53 pm

Another L and three P

1:53 pm

ewww...sounds awful

1:53 pm

ew, thanks for asking cathy ;)

1:53 pm

both l's are 4/7's stid

Have a great day/evening/night all See you tomorrow

3:23 pm

cya later guys . .

3:28 pm

So, torgone, how are you?

3:30 pm

oh, it's a tor, on a sunday

3:30 pm

i just emailed you.

3:30 pm

But he's not talking....

3:31 pm

*blows on tor's ear*

3:31 pm

*plays footsie under the babble table*

3:32 pm

I'm pretending not to care.

3:32 pm

oh, did you want to fight over him some more?

3:32 pm

i'm just trying to get him to talk...

3:32 pm

then again, i spose that is not a good way to get a guy to TALK.

3:32 pm

No, I know when to give in.

3:33 pm

There's no competing with NANCY.

3:33 pm

hmph.

3:33 pm

so, are we the only ones here? and we're finished?

3:34 pm

I don't think we're the only ones here.

3:34 pm

we appear to be.

3:34 pm

hellooooo out there in babbleland (echo reverberates)

3:34 pm

oooooooo Haz!

3:34 pm

there's ata!

3:35 pm

Hello Atalante!

3:35 pm

is it redundant to say that an echo reverberates?

3:35 pm

Not redundant exactly. You just couldn't say 'the echo' and leave it at that.

3:36 pm

yeah, it was quite a pickle, deciding how to word that

3:36 pm

haz! strange thing - Pakistan's cricket coach died this morning ...

3:36 pm

I am sort of here, doing other stuff, but monitoring the chat

3:36 pm

Phone....

3:36 pm

oh my

3:37 pm

ata, i bought myself that pressie i'd been wanting. bought it yesterday.

3:37 pm

:):):)

3:37 pm

Atalante - that's awful!

3:38 pm

the Ireland players must feel awful! they dont know how he died yet, probably heart attack

3:38 pm

so losing to ireland was such a shock it killed him?

3:39 pm

it seems something along those lines. ish. maybe.

3:39 pm

Goodness, what an awful thing to happen - it'll spoil the victory celebrations for sure.

3:39 pm

yeah :(:(:(:(

3:39 pm

it's very... literary though

3:40 pm

the match will certainly not be forgotten!

3:40 pm

speaking of which, i have an idea for a novel - or at least novella

3:41 pm

ooooooo

3:41 pm

you know that kid we chaperoned in europe? it would be about him. fascinating character study.

3:42 pm

oh interesting

3:42 pm

yeah

3:42 pm

he's completely amoral, but hides it from most everyone

3:43 pm

sort of dorian gray esque, i suppose

3:44 pm

cool!

3:44 pm

he's so young though... should i just make up how he turns out, or wait and see and then write it.

3:44 pm

lol

3:45 pm

nothing like a good excuse for procrastination.

3:45 pm

make it up, then see how right youwere!

3:45 pm

Maybe that's how torgone began.

3:45 pm

LOL haz

3:46 pm

i finished anna k, btw. don't know why everyone says it is a sad book.

3:46 pm

now i'm reading trollope's "the warden"

3:46 pm

*love* that book

3:46 pm

Oh, you are in for a treat if you read the whole Barchester Chronicles series. I love them.

3:46 pm

i did seem to recall that you were a trollope fan

3:47 pm

yes, i know we have the second one as well.

3:47 pm

fi 5/18 & 6/30 please

3:47 pm

me too

3:47 pm

I think he's wonderful - the political novels are excelllent reading as well.

3:47 pm

they are wonderful wonderful wonderful books

3:48 pm

i'm supplementing it with some non-fiction. right now i'm in "the shia revival" - about inter-islamic conflicts and how they are shaping and will shape the middle east.

3:48 pm

fi5/18 like ri5/12

3:48 pm

There's a brilliant adaptation by the BBC starring people like Alan Rickman as Mr Slope, Geraldine McEwan as Mrs Proudie, Susan Hampshire etc etc. Worth searchihg for.

3:48 pm

Hello, again, Regulars.

3:48 pm

oh, love alan rickman, of course!

3:49 pm

ty

3:49 pm

these new marples with geraldine mcewan, gosh, though, they changed way too much from the books!

3:49 pm

He manages to make you loathe him in this.....

3:49 pm

well, he does play a lot of good villians...

3:50 pm

vi, so did you see i just said i finished anna k - about a week or two ago... ready to discuss?

3:50 pm

I can't be doing with the new Miss Marple. Joan Hickson was just perfect for the role. Geraldine McEwan is a brilliant actress, but not right for the part.

3:50 pm

and they made her have had an affair!! MISS MARPLE!!!

3:50 pm

lol! After reading the "short synopsis" which was about 10 pages long, I remembered why I didn't like it.

3:50 pm

Miss Marple having an affair? That's just stupid.

3:51 pm

Just ridiculous!

3:51 pm

there is a woman who is a greeter at our walmart who would make a fabulous miss marple.

3:51 pm

I KNOW! they clearly had some agendas. made a lot of things about gay love affairs, too.

3:51 pm

Then don't ever try shoplifting with her around, eh?

3:51 pm

Hurshy, have you ever read the Mapp and Lucia books by E F Benson? They are hilarious and I think you would appreciate the Englishness of them.

3:53 pm

That was made into a TV series, too, wasn't it?

3:53 pm

It was - in the 80's I think - Geraldine McEwan again, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne. But the books are a joy.

3:54 pm

i shall endeavor to check out these benson books.

3:54 pm

I'll check those out, then.

3:54 pm

are they as funny as wodehouse?

3:54 pm

Wodehouse is in a class of his own, but they make me laugh out loud as well.

3:55 pm

vi - i just cannot understand why you don't like anna k. i loved every bit of it. and it is NOT a sad book, it is exactly half sad and half happy.

3:55 pm

anna's life goes on a downward trend, but levin's goes on an upward one.

3:56 pm

No, it wasn't the sadness, it was the time spent agonizing!

3:56 pm

ah, well, you can see how *i* would identify with that!

3:56 pm

Did I see someone taking my name in vain (vein? vane?)

3:56 pm

He lives!

3:56 pm

no, nobody has been talking about you at all...

3:57 pm

But really what's amazing to me is how forgettable I found it. Usually literature really sticks with me. Poor Tolstoy should be really offended!

3:57 pm

Oh okay . .I'll go back to washing dishes ..

3:57 pm

well i'm offended for him. i think it's one of the best books ever.

3:57 pm

Well, glad you enjoyed it, anyway. It's always a Good Thing to find a book you like.

3:58 pm

yes :)

3:58 pm

Have you ever read Madame Bovary? There's a heroine you'd want to slap.

3:58 pm

I just had trouble caring about the characters, I guess. I figured, if they want to spend their time wallowing around, that's fine, but why do I have to spend my time reading about it!

3:58 pm

lol

3:59 pm

i cared about all of them... had a lot of trouble deciding who i identified with the most!

3:59 pm

lol. Well, I suppose you're with the majority on this one!

3:59 pm

clues! i need clues!!!!!!

3:59 pm

ahem. what sort of clues?

4:00 pm

And slapping books doesn't ever give much satisfaction.

4:00 pm

fe 5/16

4:00 pm

MAN, i love classic novels. dickens, austen, eliot, bronte, wharton... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about these books' existence.

4:01 pm

fe + the babbler with the red icon that we were NOT talking about at all.

4:01 pm

A bad smell . .

4:01 pm

there he is.

4:01 pm

tor i sent you email.

4:01 pm

So, torgone, you seem to have really riled these ladies up!

4:01 pm

I also like Wilkie Collins - forerunner of the modern detective novel 'The Moonstone'.

4:02 pm

Oh yes, I liked The Moonstone and the Woman in White.

4:02 pm

hiya all

4:02 pm

oh yes, i've heard about wilkie collins.

4:02 pm

Speaking of novels . .

4:02 pm

as good as agatha christie?

4:02 pm

i loved the MOUSEtrap when i saw it this summer...

4:02 pm

dorothy sayers is the best, of course.

4:02 pm

Different. Agatha Christie is all about the puzzle. Collins is all about the atmosphere.

4:03 pm

He's really good, lots of plots and counter-plots. And much better written than Agatha.

4:03 pm

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me mr. torgone sir.

4:03 pm

YAY DOROTHY SAYERS!

4:03 pm

I tend to do that just by showing up, vic .. Not sure how . . .

4:03 pm

MOUSETRAP?!?!

4:03 pm

:)

4:03 pm

Another favourite 'detective' writer, combining history and sleuthing is Ellis Peters, with the Brother Cadfael series.

4:03 pm

I guess it's just your powerful charisma, tor. What a burden.

4:03 pm

eeek!

4:03 pm

i love the bit in "have his carcase" about how harriet buys the claret colored frock

4:03 pm

Yes, I liked those, too, Haz.

4:03 pm

jk hurshy . .one to savor . .

4:04 pm

Hursh mousetrap STILL running?

4:04 pm

hmph

4:04 pm

I think she evokes the atmosphere beautifully.

4:04 pm

yep, going strong diem

4:04 pm

luckily for me

4:04 pm

not so lucky for mousey

4:05 pm

have noted down these authors :)

4:05 pm

I long to live in a world where people talk like so wittily.

4:05 pm

The Brother Cadfael novels are set in mediaeval Shrewsbury.

4:06 pm

it's odd though, vi, wittiness works so much better in books. on TV, it comes across as very fake, so i think it probably would in real life too.

4:06 pm

(See, I'm not even witty enough to say what I meant correctly. Bllgh.)

4:06 pm

Perhaps. In which case, maybe I should become a book.

4:06 pm

the few times i saw dawson's creek it drove me NUTS that way - NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT, esp not teenagers, most of whom aren't even supposed to be particularly smart.

4:06 pm

ooh, i'll become one with you.

4:07 pm

Oh no you don't... Not if you're going to be like Anna K! lol

4:07 pm

you can be the comic relief

4:07 pm

Thanks. I think.

4:08 pm

Let's see, combine Wodehouse and Tolstoy, and what do you get?

4:08 pm

something very weird...

4:08 pm

Tolhouse cookies?

4:08 pm

we could become a less intense poirot or lord peter story - one with just theft instead of murder...

4:08 pm

ohhhhhh tor

4:09 pm

mmmm.... cookies...

4:09 pm

I tried to get my daughter to read P G Wodehouse, but she couldn't get into it at all. I've obviously failed as a mother.

4:09 pm

Yes, that sounds good, hurshy. I trust neither of us will be forced to be either the culprit or the victim.

4:10 pm

don't feel too bad haz. my little sister doesn't like to read AT ALL.

4:10 pm

no, we'll be the kids who get all excited about having a REAL MYSTERY in the house.

4:10 pm

Oh, condolences, Haz.

4:11 pm

But that's the thing - she is a voracious reader. She just couldn't transport herself into the world he creates.

4:11 pm

well, when i first read a wodehouse, in college, i liked it ok, but didn't totally... get there... and then later i did, so maybe there is still hope.

4:12 pm

Well, I don't exactly read Wodehouse for immersion in that world. It's his narration that's the point of it all.

4:12 pm

i just love when he does things like "the b. and e." for bacon and eggs. cracks me up every time.

4:12 pm

Maybe - he just writes so perfectly that you sigh and think 'genius'.

4:13 pm

Yeah. He's full of "I wish I'd thought of that" moments.

4:14 pm

i have to try to get hold of the hugh laurie as bertie wooster videos

4:15 pm

Dr Seuss uses "glup" and Carrol uses "toves." Why, oh why, can't Enable?

4:15 pm

Hugh Laurie's very good as Bertie.

4:15 pm

i hope the library has them

4:16 pm

i'm sure stephen fry makes a good jeeves, only to me, jeeves ought to be thinner.

4:17 pm

or shorter or something. i dunno. not so large overall.

4:17 pm

Stephen Fry has the most beautiful speaking voice but he doesn't quite do it for me as Jeeves. It's difficult to top the original novels, of course.

4:17 pm

Yes. He's pretty good, but didn't seem quite right to me, either, somehow.

4:18 pm

i felt the same about gilbert in the anne movies. thought he should have had a thinner face.

4:19 pm

Was this the Anne series with Colleen Dewhurst? and Megan somebody in the Anne role?

4:19 pm

i was telling the jeweler yesterday about anne thinking diamonds were purple and being disappointed when she saw a real one, and he was like, oh, i haven't read those, and i was like, well, you wouldn't have... they're mostly girl books...

4:19 pm

yes haz. colleen dewhurst was very good. :)

4:19 pm

and richard farnsworth, such a sweet matthew.

i'm missing a p4....how many are there?

4:20 pm

The early ones were good (in the video series) but they messed around with the plot to a terrible degree in later ones. It became almost unrecognisable in the end.

4:20 pm

lol

4:20 pm

I watched the beginning of the series, and lost interest as they dragged it on.

4:20 pm

if you know you're missing a P4, don't you know how many there are?

i mean pe, pl, pu...

4:21 pm

Yes, Matthew was perfect - his death produced the inevitable tears even though I've been mourning him regularly for years.

4:21 pm

yes, i quite agree haz. the first one is as faithful as any movie can be, the second mixes elements from at least 3 books, the third is just complete made up hogwash.

4:21 pm

you prob want pf4

4:21 pm

lol, Haz. I mean, not to laugh at sorrow or anything...

thanks....and that's what i'm saying right now

4:21 pm

i always cry when matthew dies too!

4:22 pm

and walter...

4:22 pm

So why did they do it? Why start something so well and then make a pig's ear of the rest of it?

done

4:22 pm

I'm a veritable fountain when reading. I ought to put all my books under clear plastic while I'm reading.

4:22 pm

And that dog sitting at the railway station for years.

4:23 pm

Little Women - Beth's death. Sodden pages.

4:23 pm

well get this, haz, the prodoucer claimed that they'd set the first movie later than the book was set (um, how exactly did that get indicated???), and therefore, the war came around when anne was younger... go figure.

4:23 pm

They did that with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, too. Started out wonderfully faithful, and then started making stuff up randomly.

4:23 pm

they practically turned her into macgyver! it was SO ridiculous.

4:23 pm

He was just making excuses - the beginning was 'timeless'.

4:24 pm

rupert everett was a pretty good holmes in that recent one.

4:24 pm

I didn't see that.

4:25 pm

he definitely captures the darker side of holmes better than some other holmeses. the cocaine, the ups and downs between boredom and ... HEY

4:25 pm

i just realized that house is a lot like holmes. was that intentional?

4:25 pm

Duh . .

4:26 pm

well sorry, some of us are a little slow.

4:26 pm

Have I not heard on the grapevine that House becomes a new person - all cheery and concerned?

4:26 pm

KIDDING . . .

4:26 pm

LOL, i doubt that haz, they've got to know that people watch house cause of the way he is

4:26 pm

Cheery about himself, concerned about his patients, I mean.

4:27 pm

oh, KIDDING. *cough*.

4:27 pm

Wait, hurshy, weren't we just discussing how they take shows that start off well, and then mess them up?

4:27 pm

well i have noticed no such trend as yet.

4:27 pm

yes but those are usually TV movies, not regular TV series.

4:27 pm

But was he not shot or something, thereby precipitating a personality change? I don't watch it so am not aware of all the ins and outs.

4:28 pm

although there is that whole "jump the shark" website...

4:28 pm

he was shot

4:28 pm

but, it did not really change him

4:28 pm

in fact, it was so funny, cuddy had the carpet replaced, cause it was stained with blood from his bullet wound, and he demanded that she put it back.

4:28 pm

Okay, I must have misunderstood. I was thinking it would put hurshy right off if he was nice.

4:29 pm

he's not not nice, really... he's just honest... like simon cowell...

4:30 pm

i wonder if he and cuddy...

4:30 pm

hello babblers, how goes the battle?

4:30 pm

i dunno, it's hard for me to picture exactly what type of woman would really go with house.

4:30 pm

I usually agree with Simon Cowell's estimation of artists. Why pander to vanity?

4:30 pm

there's no battle today, enomis. more of a thumb-wrestle.

4:30 pm

EXACTLY, haz.

4:31 pm

Hello, Enomis.

4:32 pm

Enomis, good afternoon!

4:33 pm

hooooooooow MUCH is that kitten in the window? the one with the crook in his tail? how MUCH is that kitten in the window? i do hope that kitten's for sale...

4:34 pm

You should get your kittens from the pound, hursh.

4:34 pm

Hi everyone, what is the topic of discussion?

4:34 pm

i got 2 of them from a shelter, one from a family.

4:34 pm

I got my last two cats from a shelter

4:34 pm

we was talking about literature, TV movies, house, and all sorts o' things

4:34 pm

Hello periwinkle - we've been discussing books and film adaptations. And torgone.

4:34 pm

We ranged broadly over literature, peri, then entered television (by way of TV adaptations of literature) and have recently veered into kittens.

4:35 pm

with me, it always veers into kittens eventually.

4:35 pm

The kitten conversation will see me reduced to theory only.

4:35 pm

I got a cat from a farm once . .After shredding and defiling everything in the apartment, he went right back there . .

4:35 pm

lol, Haz. That's how I was on the House and Simon Cowell segment.

4:35 pm

i just like to adapt songs to be about them. we don't have to actually discuss them.

4:36 pm

or this line from back to the future part III:

4:36 pm

"ever'body, ever'where, will say that Martin Cat is the cutest yella belly in the West"

4:36 pm

The same day, torgone?

4:37 pm

ohhhhh the cat came back, the very next day...

4:37 pm

I went through the desert on a cat with no name...

4:38 pm

In America?

4:38 pm

I like Cat Stevens

4:38 pm

i love you........... for cinder-mental reasons

4:38 pm

It took a few days to realize it wasn't going to get along with my stupid ex's stupid dog . .

4:38 pm

Yes, Cat Stevens and Top Cat (or was he Boss Cat in the States?)

4:39 pm

Hasa TO been today, wonder how her back is

4:39 pm

*Has*

4:39 pm

she was on earlier

4:39 pm

So, you gave the cat a fighting chance (literally)

4:39 pm

You're out in the desert . .nothing much to do . . Why not name the cat?

4:39 pm

did she mention that her back was feeling better?

4:39 pm

lol

4:40 pm

The way you scratched my chairs The way you yowled til three The way you shed those hairs No, no, they can't take that away from me...

4:40 pm

i don't think she mentioned. however, backs are not the sort of body part that generally feels better quickly.

4:40 pm

Top Cat was fave ..

4:40 pm

Vicuna, you are on a roll

4:41 pm

cute and pettable, that's what you are cute and gettable, though near or far that's why martling, it's incredible that a cat so cute and edible thinks that i am a good mama for... hiiiiiiiim

4:41 pm

hey everybody, really strugglin with ge 5/14, any clues please??

4:41 pm

What about The Cat in the Hat

4:41 pm

hurshy, you are on a roll too

4:41 pm

Edible?

4:41 pm

ends in a double vowel, nicola

4:41 pm

well he's yummy

4:41 pm

thanks!

4:41 pm

i joke that because he is yummy and in love with me, he is edible and Oedipal.

4:41 pm

I think you'd better say he's pettable.

4:42 pm

i always tell him i want to eat him right up.

4:42 pm

he's just so CUTE!

4:42 pm

. . .must . . .resist . . . .

4:43 pm

resist what torgone?

4:43 pm

what, it's not enough to tease me about trek?

4:43 pm

mocking me, of course, peri

4:43 pm

:|

4:43 pm

see, there he goes!

4:44 pm

. .must . .resist . .joke . ..

4:44 pm

oh go on then

4:44 pm

oh, okay, torgone

4:45 pm

is it a joke about a cat?

4:45 pm

Never mind .. the moment is gone and it's a family site . .

4:46 pm

i knew it! i knew you were bluffing! i knew he was... bluffing.

4:46 pm

Huh. Probably realized you couldn't remember the punchline.

4:47 pm

4:47 pm

oops...sorry

4:47 pm

Hello, arlene.

4:48 pm

bbl, gonna feed my cat and myself

4:48 pm

hey wouldn't it be a funny challenge to write a story using all the words from a babble grid... a smallish one like this of course...

4:49 pm

Good afternoon, arlene - and see you later, peri.

4:49 pm

All this talk of cats made you hungry, eh, peri?

4:49 pm

LOL - is she ALF?

4:49 pm

Hi babblers, sorry to interrupt but I am bald on the left side of my skull, my last word, in 6/21, help, please

4:49 pm

I recall that in second grade I wrote a story about some nice ice mice, using all the spelling words.

4:50 pm

BUG.

4:50 pm

Would it be a type of bug, Annie? Not the listening kind.

4:50 pm

i wrote a story about being five inches tall.

4:50 pm

in6/21 - 6 legs, 3 body segments

4:50 pm

bless you, hurshy, done!!!!

4:50 pm

and vicuna!

4:51 pm

and haz

4:51 pm

and Haz!!!

4:51 pm

but mine was the most concise.

4:51 pm

But mine was the most scientifically accurate, so there!

4:51 pm

there's something highly amusing about saying nothing but the word

4:51 pm

BUG

4:51 pm

Waving acknowledgement - mine was not concise, but took in different meanings of bug....

4:51 pm

does anybody have a clue for in 6/21 and in 7/32? These are my last two...

4:52 pm

So who gets the prize?

4:52 pm

To encourage/provoke in6

4:52 pm

don't in6 a ri4, we can't have any violence on a sunday

4:52 pm

in 6/21 was my last too, it is a bug

4:52 pm

Whoever can do the best for Enomis, I guess!

4:52 pm

in6/21 - encourage, as in violence or riots

4:52 pm

and in 7/32 is plural of in 6/21

4:52 pm

conjugate verb for in7

4:53 pm

TY TY TY FIREWORKS TY TY TY

4:53 pm

vi, you cheated!

4:53 pm

enomis, you must hand out the award.

4:53 pm

Oops, I'm disqualified for using a form of a grid word!

4:53 pm

'c' not an 's' aaarrrrghhhhh

4:54 pm

I think I missed the chat let me go back to the log...

4:54 pm

I think I missed the chat let me go back to the log...

4:54 pm

5:52 pm

sn8/70 mena the word begins with the letters an, has eight letterd, and is worth 70 points. check out a few of the help pages below for hints

But they need activities. Stuff they can do, stuff that's measurable.

5:54 pm

leigh... arise... arise to any task given? lol, duno if thats correct english

grade level?

5:55 pm

whats grade 3 in years? for english ppl?

5:56 pm

It has to be kinda reading related.

5:56 pm

aeRonautics

can they read about pirates? with the pirates movies out kids are nuts for them now

One activity I have is that the kids read a book and list all the r-vowel words they find in the book. Another is they find words or pictures I use in the learning center.

I do have one book about pirates. =)

5:58 pm

aries

But how can I do an activity about arithmetic and teach them about r vowels?

Or an activity on anything, for that matter?

5:59 pm

have them calculate the ratio of r vowel words to other words

I also have a word scramble.

5:59 pm

Its fireworks for me, happy babbling speak to you all tomorrow! *poof*

Congrats pink

5:59 pm

arcs

6:00 pm

i dunno, did you say their age...you could use it to introduce the theory of ratios

how about just counting , or adding the words?

They are 8/9

6:02 pm

i guess this is where i realize i don't really know the scope of an 8/9 year old

6:02 pm

Leigh--why not have them do what everyone on the list is doing? Making their own word list--Arithmetic doesn't work though, because of the syllable division. Hi, everyone.

6:03 pm

back in a bit

hi mirandda

6:03 pm

7:00 pm

7:00 pm

don't hurt your brain ingy

7:02 pm

Wow Nutty....I thought you were just yanking chains....did you do the background check on Armagost??

7:03 pm

i thought you'd be thinking that, and chile i've no clue

7:03 pm

who's armagost?

7:03 pm

well, it cannot find the server, so I will take your word for it, ..or ask my New Castle relatives

7:04 pm

Randy Armagost, owner of the Annandale Country Station, is one of the rare non-employees who has the opportunity to move freely throughout the bowels of the mine. His store is less than a minute away, and he makes regular catered deliveries to Iron Mountain for many of the companies.

7:04 pm

dunno if they'll know if it, we have some newcastle residents working there

7:04 pm

smd, his investigation would be beneath my notice

7:05 pm

Oh!! lifts nose into air!!

Wow! It's so quiet on the chat log that I can hear crickets chirping. (Or is that my arteries hardening..... hmm?)

9:12 pm

Oh, thank heavens, dawg. I thought I as all alone. Being alone scares me. 8)

9:13 pm

9:14 pm

9:15 pm

Whee! thanks!

9:16 pm

ok, I'm here ready to clue but with one ear on 60 Minutes (Pacific Time)

9:16 pm

Hi Jilli

9:16 pm

How about that pesky pf4,11?

9:16 pm

Hi all!

hi all!

9:17 pm

janie, p+ double consonant + cross letter

9:17 pm

Hi TNC!

9:17 pm

Jan, if you prick a balloon it goes pf**

howdy - jill, were you here when I asked my kitty question?

9:18 pm

Well, what do you know. Silly me. I tried to add a vowel.

9:18 pm

don't think so, TnC -- what was it?

I had a cat with a loose tooth - we took her to the vet on Friday and they pulled multiple teeth - poor girl!

or the sound of flatus if pf**

9:20 pm

oh yes, TNC -- I do remember! Thought they would pull the tooth but not TEETH! How old is you kittykat?

9:20 pm

ADHD!!!

JILLI!!!!!

9:20 pm

i thinkit's the sound TNC's cat made when the vet started pulling teeth!

we got her from the humane society, so we think she is about 8 years old. they sedated her and did a teeth cleaning and that is when they decided more teeth had to come out.

9:21 pm

actually, I guess if you prick a balloon it goes POP!

my kitty will be 17 on April 3 and she still chases mice and squirrels. tho this year she's lost most of her hearing and has cataracts

yep. told ya, flatus (a fart) goes pf** or a whoopy cushion lol

9:22 pm

TNC, she must have had some other problems for the vet to pull so many teeth. and rescued animals have a tendency to have a lot of dental problems such as absesses

it was quite an ordeal, me, a skittish kitty in the carrier, Crackers (1.5 yo) and Tea (3.5 yo) with no other adult, going to the vet. I'm sure we were a sight.

the vet said that her teeth were pretty dirty, but he was so worried about getting us all out tot he car in one piece that he really didn't talk to much about her, just told me he pulled multiple teeth and gave us kitty antibiotics.

9:23 pm

as long as everyone who went in came out all right.

aw the poor kitty

9:24 pm

My lovely Susiecat will be 18 in Julyish (she adopted us, possibly abandoned by camper in September) and we've been feeding her dry TD (tartar diet) for years -- vets say her teeth are in amazingly good condition. She's longhaired calico and also gets Senior Hairball Diet, which seems to work too.

9:24 pm

your Susiecat made a wise choice in people.

that ordeal is over, thank goodness. then, yesterday, there was a wildfire in our neighborhood and a house about 3 blocks from us burned completely down and 4 to 6 others were damaged.

9:25 pm

I think maybe we made a wise choice in vets

dry food is the best for them. Gidget has all of her teeth and they are clean and solid in her mouth. no gingivitis. the hard food helps keep them clean

9:25 pm

I a lot of empathy for your kitty, TNC. My husband and I have 8 kitties. All rescues.

9:25 pm

YIKES! TNC you must be a wreck after all that excitment1

i had 11, my sister 12 cats, 3 dogs and 2 birds, all rescue animals

9:26 pm

Saw that in your bio, Janiece -- good for you.

the neighborhood was evacuated (not us, though - just up to about a block away) but we had aheck of a time getting home from church, as our street was the main road in. They took down the power grid and some houses still don't have phone or cable today. It was a bit scary!

9:27 pm

atalante, are you there?

wow, that SOUNDS scare TnC

9:27 pm

We currently have 1 dog and 1 cockatiel in addition to the 8 cats. I love them all. Hubby patiently tolerates them all, including me I think!

9:27 pm

Hi Fiber Art!

is fyberart here? HI Fyber!!!!!!

9:28 pm

TNC -- has Reno been very dry lately? May I send you some of our endless rain???

the neighborhood backs up to a canyon, and they suspect illegal off roading was the cause

9:28 pm

fiber changed her name! (just as DO and I got used to the y! lol)

9:29 pm

TN C... My friend lives right across t he street from the house. We werre to go to a party there yesterday

9:29 pm

Fyberart underwent a transformation, after a conversation with god. Changed to fiber art. No more rude jokes about my flatulant name!

we have been very dry, but rain is expected mid week. we need the rain!

9:29 pm

crazy!

9:29 pm

I think we have doppelgangers -- Fiber Art and fyberart

do you live up this way prism? i can't remember

9:29 pm

That's what i hear TNC. dry and ready to pop into flames! not good not good

i just read your profile re: today's icon. you'd be amazed how easy it is to track anyone thru ancestry.com and others. if you are near a mormon church, they offer it for free to the public.

9:33 pm

for the life of me i can't figure out the last "s" from the top "s".

9:33 pm

Davene (my friend) said that she had just minutes for her evacuation. She had to gather up her cats & dog & make a quick decision on what else to take

9:33 pm

is there an unusual "s" word i can't think of?

9:33 pm

these houses are over 40 years old, I knw we had to get separate fire insurance when we bought ours.

9:36 pm

night prism.

9:36 pm

9:39 pm

Me too -- and hi Minveryork!!!

if i'd had a choice and could have, i'd have taken my kids photos and some family heirlooms, but I wasn't home and didn't have a choice. it was horrible. all the christmas gifts i'd bought, my sewing maching was a blob of plastic (it was brand new)... my refrigerator doors were welded shut from the heat.

9:39 pm

fib works for me--just not *art

9:39 pm

Yes, I agree w/you lbdawger. It was a very easy grid

ADHD, that just makes me cry, thinking about it!

9:40 pm

9:42 pm

ADHD I think I missed something terrible -- you had a horrible fire???

I saw Jilli was here and wanted to tell her about my cat and then I started chatting.

i have, but my kids were 8 and 9 1/2 at the time and i lost all their photos, memoribilia, artwork... irreplaceable stuff, not to mention things that were handed down to me from generations back. but losing my kids memories hurt the most.

11:31 pm

White, are you PHYSIC (sic), too?! You were absolutely right and I seem to have some explosive devices detonating on my screen!

it say's I'm 29, which means i'd be 30 on Friday. if I had to pick an age, I'd be 30 forever.

YIPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE FOR THE KID!!! YAHOOOOOOO!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!! YOUR MAMA WOULD BE PROUD!!!!!!!!!

ok DoDo how old are you really?

chronologically or in my head?

I meant witch DoDo

Can't type anymore I guess

the age in your passport DoDo

11:34 pm

Yer right DoDo, she would. She's quite a word person as well. Well, was. She had a sever stroke three years ago this month and has never recovered. She's really deteriorating, to the point where one of my brothers met w/hospice last Monday, and she may soon need it. So we're looking at just weeks now. :(

I am 24 and my passport is 32 ;-)

I am really sorry for you piano :-(

oh, i'm so sorry kiddo. i know EXACTLY how you feel. my mom was a word person too and i miss playing with her (she had just turned 64 when we lost her). my thoughts are with you and your family kid.

11:38 pm

whitewhich - I LIKE the typo! whitewitch... Whi[te]...[Wi]tch... "Whitch!"

11:38 pm

thanks, guys - er, gals. Big time sn8's here...

LOL

if you ask a stranger my age, they'll say mid to late 30s (tho the 80 year olds think I'm in my 20s lol), i can win every guess your age thingie at the fairs, if you ask my family, they'll say "She's 13 at most" if you ask ME? somewhere between 13 and 30. I'm blessed with good genes, unabused skin and ADHD, which keeps my mind childlike. I have two grown sons, 34 and almost 36 and I shall be 57 on Friday (is that how old I am??? wow!)

11:40 pm

btw, DoDo, TY so much for staying up and helping with this puzzle. You, too, "Whitch". And both of you for your comforting sentiments. I really appreciate you.

11:40 pm

fellow kid?

are you really a witch white?

my ex mother in law was a witch (i loved her very much, i am not joking)

11:42 pm

Wow.

11:42 pm

Hi amiku!

11:42 pm

Hey Piano

yep I am a white witch....like my grandmother

11:42 pm

1988, huh?

11:42 pm

<--- 1991 :P

congratulations DoDo....that means you will keep us company in here for another 30 years at least ;-)

my family (besides my mom) live past 100

wow DoDo....I think I will meet the 100

11:44 pm

ADHD: I'm envious, people think I'm older than I am.

11:45 pm

Hey, ww1111, nice dogs! What kind are they?

11:46 pm

my hubby too and he's 8 yrs younger than me. he'll be 50 end of year

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

waitin' in the flip

11:46 pm

If I'm not mistaken.... I'm still the youngest on right now

11:46 pm

Hey Monkey

11:46 pm

Hellooooooo, Monk!

I had one but lost him 2 years ago

11:46 pm

Amiku...i don't look a day under 97

11:47 pm

Hahaahahaha.

11:47 pm

i dunno, Amiku, I'm only 9...

11:47 pm

whose dogs are they?

11:47 pm

piano: bull shit, 19 more like.

how old are you Amiku?

11:48 pm

ami = don't you mean "bull shaving cream"?

11:48 pm

I'm 16.

11:48 pm

Piano, no. I mean bull shit :P

I wish I could be 16 again....

but in the 80's.....I love the music of the 80's

11:49 pm

It ain't all that great, whitewitch. what you should be saying is I wish I was 16 and know what i know now.

11:49 pm

i must admit, 16 was a pretty tough age for me...

11 minutes left guys.....

why piano?

that is true Amiku

11:50 pm

piano: it's legal over here. So when you turn 16 it's supposed to be :O:O:O... buuuuuttttt it's not changed anything for me :P

11:51 pm

well, tonight must be the night of sob stories or something. When I was 15-1/2 I lost my left leg "AK" (above the knee) to bone cancer.

still 16 is a good age....you don't have to care about bills and other stuff...

11:52 pm

piano: christ. that's not a happy story D:

you're kidding piano?

11:53 pm

/me sn5/22

11:54 pm

np, not, and no, not a happy story. BUT, really it is pretty happy. I was kind of a bratty, braniac loner in HS and this actually helped me come out of my shell in some ways. And kids who were teades me or ignored me actually would help when I was on crutches the first several months after the surgery.

11:55 pm

man it's late... TOO many TYPOS. Sorry!

11:55 pm

"...kids who would tease me..."

11:56 pm

Thats coz they felt like such assholes for being mean. It's a good karma story :). Please, I'm the typo queen, you should see me on msn :(

11:56 pm

heh heh!

holy shit piano I am so sorry....

11:56 pm

4 srsly.

I am not sure if I could deal with it....dancing is my live!!!

life I meant

11:57 pm

I'm sure Piano can still dance...

11:58 pm

whitewitch, those yorkies are adorable!

11:58 pm

You know there are a LOT of good things that have come in the last 30+ years. WHeelchair basketball (a highly competitive sport), amputee golf (incredible to watch some with TWO fake legs hit a golf ball 250 yards, or one of the arm amps who kinda looked like Tiger hit it 285 yards straight down the fairway!)

11:59 pm

nice, piano! that's awesome

I gonna watch "Dancing with the stars" to see how Heather Mills is dancing with her "leg"....

11:59 pm

tons of snow sports, too eh?

thanks Monkey

11:59 pm

And I know I've been a great inspiration to many, many people.

11:59 pm

Hi whitewitch! Decades ago my late hubby and I actually visited St Maarten -- well, St Martin, on a cruise -- paradise indeed!

12:00 am
