2:07 am

have been watching Jessica Watson come into the Sydney heads on tele- 16 year old girl sailed non stop around the world

2:07 am

wow she did it.

2:07 am

so inspiring - bad for me as I have shallow tear ducts! I always cry my eyes out at these things

2:08 am

oh lovely sandy. Why not? Let it flow.

2:09 am

LOL I am so bad - it runs in the family , my brother and father are the same

2:09 am

in real life , I'm quite heartless

2:10 am

hey you are now talking to the person who cried when Dumbo was taken from his mum. And I was an adult then.

2:10 am

one 6 down here as well, Katie

2:11 am

I also have one 6 (Sprite has 7)

2:11 am

Hello all

2:11 am

2:12 am

2:12 am

trying to build a grey grid

2:12 am

I've got 3! (including the animal that I am quite sick of hearing about)

2:13 am

wtg lyn! And now I need to know which animal that is and why hearing about it makes you sick...

2:14 am

2:14 am

co6.30 aka older single woman

2:14 am

as long as you are not one yourself lyn

2:14 am

2:15 am

2:15 am

2:16 am

2:16 am

2:17 am

2:20 am

lovely song on tele --la la places I remember - some have gone and some remain ....la la ...in my life I loved them all....I love that song

2:21 am

not good for the shallow tear ducts tho

2:21 am

sing it, sandy!

2:22 am

...of people and things...

2:22 am

There are places I remember all my life, Though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments Of lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I loved them all. And with all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these mem'ries lose their meaning When I think of love as something new And I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more. And I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more In my life I loved you more

2:22 am

I think I better watch Nightmare on Elm Street or something equally bad

2:22 am

i still only have 17 *sigh*

2:22 am

The Beatles

2:22 am

aw Haz :)

2:23 am

It IS a lovely song. Good morning/evening all.

2:24 am

a good morning to you, Haz

2:24 am

hi Haz

2:24 am

Hello - it's bright and sunny so far, let's hope it stays that way!

2:24 am

Mari are you reading the chog yet?

2:25 am

my love took me for a mini canoe trip yesterday, in that lovely weather. Did me a world of good, even though physically it was costly.

2:25 am

LOL I showed Nicky that you put the words up of the song - she asked me "Can she hear us?"

2:25 am

lol!

2:25 am

How lovely Sprite

2:25 am

us too haz, I keep wearing summer clothes and then realising I'm freezing half way through the day

2:26 am

Sprite Im glad you are getting better, but canoeing can be strenuous

2:26 am

Good morning/evening. Sunny day here and I ahve been pootling around in the garden for the last hour.

2:26 am

hey FM!

2:26 am

Good morning, FM.

2:26 am

Hi Mitch

2:26 am

morning FM. Come poot round our garden I only every manage to kill things

2:26 am

morning FM

2:26 am

Hello spritey sprite and Haz and Katie and lynxx and sandy and all.

2:27 am

Been watering and tying up rambling roses and supervising the birds and ... *happy sigh*

2:28 am

we used to canoe a lot before I went into bad mode, sandy. In open canoes. We were out for maybe an hour and I loved it. Birds on the water, peace and quiet, lots of tiny little ducklings. And Terra on my lap, making it hard to paddle but easy to smile!

2:28 am

a fly is on the screen, I'm trying to poke it with the little arrow

2:28 am

Supervising the birds? Do you do nest inspections and things?

2:28 am

silly sandy :D

2:28 am

lol sandy

2:28 am

Glad Mitch is relaxing after her energetic week (you know what I mean) Those thongs can take it out of you!

2:29 am

oh did FM do the thong song?

2:29 am

ha ha Haz, I am trying to get them to queue up in an orderly manner for morning bath time but they just won't co-operate.

2:29 am

I have 3 of the co 6's but am missing a 4th..help!

2:29 am

They can't be British birds, FM. British birds would know how to queue.

2:30 am

good grief shealeigh, you are going strong! I only have the 2 mentioned earlier.

2:30 am

We had a canoe at one stage - I like canoeing too Sprite and I know what you mean about the peacefulness

2:30 am

sandy is just teasing me (again).

2:30 am

sandy? Teasing? You must be mistaken, surely.

2:30 am

I never tease

2:30 am

This is the strangest gid for wierd words that I have seen in ages.

I have a 3rd co6 - co**mn + opp of stay

2:31 am

It's certainly a contrast to yesterday's, that's for sure.

2:31 am

isn't it just.

2:31 am

Remember the quote by Gertrude in Hamlet "Methinks the lady doth protest too much"

2:31 am

My inability to spell helped greatly, that and my monkeys.

2:31 am

thanks for that one, Chrissie, new for me!

2:32 am

brilliant line, isn't it sandy.

me too sprite, it was in the chog earlier

2:32 am

I love shakesphere - every line is brilliant

2:33 am

hey that is funny. A co6 (as clued by Chrissie) is a flying le5.

2:34 am

and I guess that le5's have fe5's too.

2:34 am

cool, thanks FM :)

2:34 am

:)

ty for the le5 sprite!

2:35 am

yvw

2:37 am

love your icon, Chrissie.

2:38 am

There is a fish in the grid today! A real one, not one to be slapped with.

ty sprite, he makes me smile

2:38 am

me too!

first letter FM?

2:39 am

That is one happy elephant! t Chrissie

2:39 am

the snaky one?

2:39 am

co6.24 starts like the cat, ends like actor *** Marvin

2:39 am

no a fish shaped fish sprite.

*giggles at fish shaped fish* The snaky one is better for slapping though, FM.

ty lynx

2:40 am

24 left here. You can do better, sandy.

2:41 am

*slaps spritey with the snakey one as she is being so clever* :))

2:41 am

lollllllllllllll

2:41 am

LOL sprite, you must have been cooking dinner, going canoeing, washing the dog in between doing the grid for you not to have finished

2:41 am

that fly is back, i'm poking it again

2:42 am

so little respect for my hard work at the grids...

2:42 am

none left here *uses some of Atas smugness that she left lying around in the PB* Mind you I have been up since 5.30 Le sigh :(

2:42 am

wtg FM on finishing, and blegh on being up so very very early.

2:43 am

this morning we had the window blind down and it was very dark and I didn't wake up til 9.30am - usually get up at 7

2:43 am

It seems to be the time of choice that my body wants to wake up - the mind follows about an hour later.

2:43 am

It's those birds. Dawn ablutions are to be abhorred.

2:43 am

horses were grumpy for their feeds

2:43 am

ear plugs. Did I mention ear plugs?

2:44 am

Oh sandy, can't remember the last time I slep in until anything after 8.30. LOL Haz

2:45 am

me neither Mitch, I was shocked, I couldn't believe it- I guess I needed the sleep

2:45 am

sleeping in, neglecting the horses, being slow with the grid... what's with you today, sandy? Need another session with the snaky ones?

2:45 am

Snaky ones??

2:46 am

yeah the snakelike fish

2:46 am

*snort* not going to type what I was thinking re yr post sprite.

2:46 am

oooh! the slimiest ones

2:47 am

have got that one

2:47 am

*grin* too bad, FM, I'd love to know!

2:47 am

yup, those!

2:47 am

(Mitch has "that sort of thing" on the brain)

2:48 am

Okay, time for me to take a break, I'll be back later. Bye for now!

2:48 am

*mutter mutter from the gutter*

2:48 am

bye for now, Haz

2:48 am

bye Haz

2:48 am

my mind is in the gutter - I blame sandy. Bye HAz, I am heading out soon to.

2:48 am

bye haz, loved those words

Good morning everyone. Nice bright morning here.

Oh! See you are all going.

2:49 am

morning Sally

2:49 am

hello sally

2:49 am

Morning Sally, isn't it lovely to see the sun!

2:49 am

not me, Sally, I still need 19

2:49 am

hi Sally

FM, was reading back in the chog about your morning excursions. Had to get up very early this morning because I have a new hen settling in, and sat in the chicken run from 6am to 7am. Was glorious! Wall to wall bird song.

2:50 am

My LAST word is not in the dictionary, is NOT in Morewords and I am totally stumped...The puzzle is not solvable!!!!

2:51 am

lovely sally - we have chooks also

2:51 am

Sally, why do new hens need hensitting? (never had chickens, so very curious)

I am not often up that early but it's wonderful in the countryside.

2:51 am

How splendid Sally, I love the first visit to my garden each morming to see what the day holds.

2:51 am

the others sometimes peck the new one Sprite

2:51 am

which starting letter and length, shealeigh?

lol, sprite. It was a new one I introduced last night and just had to make sure she wasn't being attacked.

2:52 am

oh I see, pecking order not yet established. That makes sense, thanks.

2:52 am

also it's nice to see them exploring the new environment

2:52 am

Nicky is harrassing me

Absolutely right sprite.

2:52 am

Nicky rocks

You need to establish the pecking order sandy :-)

2:53 am

F-I-R-W-O-R-K-S!!!!!! Now I can sleep! This was the HARDEST puzzle!

2:53 am

woweeeee shealeigh! Well done!

2:53 am

Congrats shealeigh

2:53 am

Congrats Shealeigh

2:53 am

Ty <bows, yawning>

2:53 am

small grids are often nasty. Sleep well!

You got that elusive last word then shealeigh! I'm not evey half way yet.

2:54 am

the word wasd not elusive at all- I just had the wrong letter count on it! How dumb of me!

2:54 am

6s all found :D

2:54 am

There are some real doozys Sall inc the xy5/26

2:54 am

Actuall there are more wierd words than normal ones today, not to put you off or anything.

There's an xy?! Haven't listed yet.

2:55 am

I will count normal vs. odd for you....hang on....

2:55 am

am not using the list yet, but have opened a2z

2:55 am

and a yl -

2:55 am

dont have the yl yet

2:55 am

yup, I wilted when I say someone mention it earlier today as the only xy I could think of was xylophone.

I did find yesterday's very long!

2:56 am

we have had that x and y words in grids before

2:56 am

I remember a 600 grid

2:56 am

YEsterdays v todays grid - the sublime to the rediculous.

2:56 am

Actually, there are only *30* weird words- the rest are just hard to find....

2:57 am

loved yesterday's. 81 Hs and all normal words.

2:57 am

lol shealeigh

2:57 am

595 (tendancy to exagerate)

2:58 am

Well, nitey-nite....see you all tomorrow...same flip time, same flip station....

Now if only you'd clued the xy as "a compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers" I'd have got it in an instant

2:58 am

sleep well shealeigh

2:58 am

bye shea

2:58 am

lol Sally

2:58 am

thnxs <yawn and poof>

2:58 am

*sigh* must go and get dressed, want to get shopping done and then be at local Horticultural Society plant sale that opens at 10am. HAppy Babbling and I'll prob be back later.

2:59 am

hmmmmm, nearly 'wine 0'clock'

2:59 am

bye Mitch take care

2:59 am

bye FM, have a grand day

2:59 am

Byeee

Enjoy the sale, FM

3:00 am

Think I will feed the horses a bit early and then have a wine - be back later

bye for now sandy

3:00 am

sandy, that is bad.

3:01 am

Feeding them extra late in the morning and extra early in the evening... they may get a colic or something!

3:01 am

(found a wood fairy)

3:03 am

TY Sprite. Down to 18 but getting a bit bored BBL perhaps. Bye

beginning with?

3:03 am

bye for now lyn, and sandy

3:03 am

dr, sally

3:04 am

and same word without the r is valid too

ty sprite *looking*

Got it!

3:04 am

yay :)

I do like clues which make me think, and give the meaning, rather than spelling the word out practically :-)

3:06 am

oh yes so do I. But sometimes it is hard to think of a good clue, for me anyway.

3:07 am

fireflies! Demanding grid. But wonderful company. Anything I can help with before I go?

No thanks sprite, but congrats as always. Just quietly chuntering on here.

3:08 am

good feeling, chuntering on. Good luck Sally, and thanks. See you soon!

bye sprite

Got there finally, so I'm off too. May pop back later to chat.

3:42 am

Chuntering on? You do and you'll clean it up!

lol, stil had chog open Douglas. Different meaning in USA?

3:45 am

That's a new word to me. Meaning "patiently soldering on, even though one isn't nearly as clever as sprite?"

3:47 am

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Most people aren't nearly as clever at Babble as sprite

I think uou meant soldiering, not soldering! Yes, that's what it means. Nice word, isn't it, but probably not in Enable.

5:45 am

One, two.......Freddy's coming for you!!!!!

5:50 am

hi movieman - quiet here today

5:50 am

i'm down to my last 6

5:52 am

Hey mm - already for kick off? Hi JBV

5:52 am

hi FMitch

5:54 am

'fun' grid today ?!?

5:54 am

Certainly am Mitch........go go Blues!!!!!

5:55 am

Good morning everyone. 74 words! On a weekend day?

5:55 am

Fingers crossed mm, but can't help feeling for Portsmouth.

5:55 am

Morning Scrabs - it has bite and some strange words even for enable.

5:56 am

These small grids always introduce me to new words.

5:57 am

hi scrabbler

5:57 am

How are you, JBV?

5:58 am

ok, scrabs, counting down the days to retirement

5:58 am

how about you, you had a tooth extracted?

5:59 am

Oh wow, wtg JBV, what plans do you have?

5:59 am

Really? When is your last day? And then what?

6:00 am

yes, I decided, July 1 - then a little breathing room before I make any decisions or commitments -

6:00 am

plan #1 - relax, plan #2, make a list of things to do,

6:00 am

How great!

6:00 am

plan # 3 - think about the list.....

6:00 am

etc.

6:00 am

hi, all :) congratulations, JBV! sounds great..

6:00 am

Nope, tooth will be saved, I hope. 2 small cracks were seen--caused pulpitis + dying nerve. Part 1 of root canal procedure was 5/7, part 2 is 5/18. I had intense pain for a few days before and after.

6:00 am

hi Nancy Boy!

6:01 am

job is quite stressful, and I am needed at home, so it was an easy decision

6:01 am

Wow, JBV!

6:01 am

Hi NB! How are you doing?

6:01 am

oh, sorry to hear about the pain but glad the tooth can be saved

6:01 am

Hi NB

6:02 am

hi, Scrabbs! I'm great thanks - exhausted after last night, though. Friday I have back to back shifts...I'm getting jealous of JBV ;)

6:02 am

hi, FM! :)

6:03 am

no jealousy allowed - youth is its own reward -

6:03 am

I am not sure if I will ever retire. I work part-time as it is and have a nice schedule.

6:03 am

I am on call--started yesterday at 5 and ends Monday at 8.

6:03 am

so they say, JBV ;)

6:03 am

part-time is great - I may be able to pick up some work on a consulting basis if I feel I need the income, but right now I just want the free time

6:04 am

I can vouch for the joy of maternity leave. I'm entering my 27th year and haven't tired of it.

6:04 am

lol Haz

6:05 am

I'm easing myself towards retirement.

6:05 am

great, Haz!

6:05 am

I really only work part time now since I moved and it is utter bliss.

6:07 am

I started working (summers) when I was 12, full time at 21, two years off with baby, so adding it all up, it's a long stretch

6:07 am

sounds it FM - I don't think there's any greater joy than waking up and knowing the day is yours!

6:08 am

I think I won't feel it until September when everyone is going back to school and I'm at home playing Babble!

6:08 am

But I have put in my years of work to get to this point NB so never be complacent :)

6:09 am

I retired in March and now just do sick and holiday cover - best job I've ever had!!

6:09 am

haha...I don't have the time to be complacent ;)

6:09 am

Hi JFB

6:10 am

I agree, FMitch, my father used to tell me the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper, comes back to me now, the wisdom of the fables - work does pay off in the end

6:11 am

hi JFB -

6:11 am

the J twins are here - I'm sure we will confuse everone :)

6:12 am

Hi Haz & JFB

6:12 am

Hello, Scrabbler.

6:13 am

Scrabbs, just scrolled back - that business with your teeth sounds eye-wateringly painful. Better now, I hope?!

6:16 am

It was quite painful for 3 days before + 3 days after the procedure. At times I was shaking + ready to puke. I almost finished off 2 bottles of pain meds in those days.

6:16 am

Well, I found 14 words and am stuck.

6:17 am

oh my god, that sounds awful :( I sincerely hope you're on the mend now...don't like thinking of people in that sort of pain!

6:17 am

Tum is rumbling, time for lunch so back in a bit.

6:17 am

It made me appreciate what people with chronic pain issues endure.

6:17 am

Bye FM

6:18 am

I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, huh?

6:19 am

Pain & challenges reveal our strength.

6:19 am

that's awful, scrabs, sorry to hear you had to go through that

6:20 am

It's "just a tooth." A short-term issue...that will cost $2300. That is the other pain.

6:20 am

quite! hmmm...guess I'd better go get up and go to work. They won't be impressed with my morning hair ;) see you later, all!

6:20 am

scrabs, we have been living with hubby's chronic pain(s) for a while and it is truly amazing how he copes and carries on - amazing inner resources

6:21 am

Bye NB. Get that hair looking gorgeous!

6:21 am

bye, NB!

6:21 am

oh, little one!

6:21 am

JBV, that is exactly what I thought of--some people endure chronic severe pain, and it is distracting, agitating, + exhausting.

6:21 am

*performs shampoo-advert hair-flick for Scrabbler's benefit*

6:22 am

Hi Feather! I am up to 22--toughie as usual for small grids.

6:22 am

oh boy

6:22 am

just got fireworks!

6:22 am

Woo hoo, JBV!!

6:23 am

must go get food. very non-functioning right now.

6:23 am

but it's also true that if you can distract yourself with other things, you can forget about the pain for a while - that's his way, to not focus on feeling bad, but just pretend that life is normal

6:24 am

I must get ready for work--must see a 3 yr old in the hospital on the way to the office to work from 8-12. Kid will probably go home--was dehydrated.

6:24 am

I did become somewhat accustomed to it, JBV, but it saps one's energy.

6:24 am

that's nice scrabs, he's probably all rosy and smiley toda

6:25 am

today

6:25 am

Yep, I should be able to send him home this morning.

6:26 am

At 26/48 I must move on. Enjoy the day all!

6:26 am

bye scrabs

rhis grid is quite a contrast to yesterday's...

6:46 am

Time to go again. Bye!

It has gaydar- not a word?

6:49 am

Who knows when Enable is involved Kaplan

6:50 am

back with my first course of lunch, home made prawn cocktail (how retro).

6:57 am

good morning everyone

6:57 am

FMitch, it is only 8 am here but your first course sounds delicious

6:58 am

Morning Mom, slightly overdid the pepper but it was scrummy.

6:58 am

what is the second course?

6:59 am

pork, either with veg and new potatoes or with rice and sweet and sour sauce - haven't decided yet and 2nd course will be in an hour or so at the earliest.

7:00 am

and then some strawberries to finish off later :)

7:00 am

sounds yummy. Will supper be a large feast as well?

7:00 am

Oh heavens no - lunch is the big meal today.

7:01 am

I see

7:03 am

Phone, back in a bit.

7:03 am

bye bye

7:24 am

7:39 am

bbl

7:41 am

have a good day jmcnrick

7:41 am

had to deal with dueling time outs! back now

7:42 am

ehh, i still love flylady, but don't follow it to the T. i do better with it in the summer, when i'm home all the time.

7:44 am

hello everyone

7:44 am

weed, what is flylady?

7:44 am

I'm a little panicky about my project, I messed up when creating it and put the expiration date for sept. 28th, which means that i won't likely get any funds from "strangers" until september. which means i won't complete it for this group of kids. so i'm trying to promote it a lot.

7:45 am

www.flylady.net it's a system for organizing and cleaning and keeping on top of the clutter in your house

7:46 am

feather, I tried to open your site and it would not open...how can I get an address?

7:46 am

that tinyurl didn't work?

7:46 am

http://bit.ly/b6LUg8

7:46 am

i googled it, it came up at the top and i am looking at it now

Oh lordy Hi all. I hate FLylady!

I like the systems, but I have a hard time with her saccharine sounding sort of condescending tone.

7:47 am

i like some of the "tricks" in it. still will use a timer to motivate myself!

7:47 am

will try again---be right back...If I am on Babble Expert I can open it---be right back...I am so computer illiterate

7:47 am

ugh, connection issues this morning! finally made it back good morning {{Red}} and {{Annie}}

7:47 am

*cant

7:48 am

ahhh, lol. i ignore that. also, never ever opt in for the emails, or you'll have a whole new kind of clutter in your email box!

the systems are excellent.

I really did have trouble with the volume of emails. especially the ones that would be asking if I was wearing shoes...or in bed yet.

7:48 am

my mom's gotten into it gung ho. she has a whole binder, and an iphone app, and everything

your Mom is awesome feather!!!

7:49 am

brb, must release the inmates

7:49 am

I get the daily email still but I opted for only getting the one email. Made it so much easier

7:49 am

lol, well yeah, i knew that already red!

:)

7:51 am

feather, nope, I cant open it...it is me..not the system...It is http://bit.ly/6LUg8...is it not?

7:51 am

one inmate let himself out on early parole, so is now back in the clink, with time added for some major attitude. the other inmate helped himself to a lollipop he found in his room and is very happy.

7:52 am

annie, when I am on Bab ex, i diminish it and open firefox separately

7:52 am

hang on annie, i'll get another link

9:38 am

hi smooth!

9:38 am

I have a new wonderful macro lens and I lovvvve it

oooh! do tell! what brand? what focal length?

hi dan!

9:39 am

canon f2.8 60mm. I *love* it.

9:41 am

9:41 am

or4/8!!! or4/8!!!

9:41 am

We just got the EOS Rebel T2i to take pictures of the baby - it's awesome

oh that's cool, ata... I have looked a that lens before... I don't know why, but I haven't goten around to actually getting it.

9:42 am

no macro lens yet.

HAHA! I got a little excited when I saw that too, nutty. :)

9:43 am

i love when the grid talks dirty to me

9:43 am

I've wanted one for ages, I take a lot of pictures of stuff on beaches

9:43 am

ooo lovely Dan

9:43 am

EVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *sneak!glomp*

canon has got a lens that just makes me drool little bit. It's so expensive, and I wouldn't use it nearly enough to justify the expense, but its a 5:1 macr lens

9:43 am

wtf is a glomp?

9:45 am

it's a *glomp*!

9:45 am

a glomp sounds like a lump of goo

9:46 am

would I stick glue all over you? *gasp*

9:46 am

goo even!

9:46 am

yes...i think you would!

9:47 am

true :D

9:47 am

v, to glomp NOT sexual, it is the action of one person lovingly (and dramatically) attacking another with a hug.

9:48 am

how did glomp go sexual already. did the grid corrupt it?

9:48 am

loool no idea. probably the or4

9:49 am

there. better definition "A cross between a hug and a pounce."

9:51 am

Hello again everyone. Home from work now.

1:14 pm

Hiya, Scrabbs!

1:15 pm

Hi Judi

1:17 pm

I am under the front trees watching the birds visit the 7 feeders. A tufted titmouse was just staring at me 6 ft away.

1:17 pm

idylic, scrabs

1:18 pm

Hi Bo. Yes, I wish it were warmer--63, sun peeking in and out. So I am sipping hot tea.

1:18 pm

Sounds lovely..

1:18 pm

will push 90 here

1:19 pm

hi Judi

1:20 pm

I saw my 1st hummingbird of the season--heard him first, then found him--sitting on a branch, staring at me as if to say, "Uh, I'm here, where is my feeder?" I went inside, made the sugar solution + hung up the feeder--waiting for his return.

1:20 pm

And I have found just 28 words--very tough grid.

1:20 pm

Wow, Bo--hot day!

1:20 pm

You seem to have several birds staring pointedly at you, Scrabbs. Very soon little tiny bricks will start to rain on your head from the branches above.

1:21 pm

Hey, Bo!

1:21 pm

They may conspire against me, especially if they don't have enough food.

1:21 pm

6 of my grands here this weekend, they can get out to let off steam :)

1:21 pm

Is there a pool nearby?

Afternoon babblers!

1:23 pm

unfortunately not - but they have fun anyway

1:23 pm

Hi Red! How are you doing?

1:23 pm

hi red

1:23 pm

How old are your grandchildren, Bo?

I am alright. How are you Scrabbler?

1:24 pm

13, 12, 10, 6, 4, 2.5

bo you must be feeling busyt his weekend.

1:24 pm

Cold outside, but it is overall nice and I want to be outside. 63 isn't quite warm enough.

1:25 pm

Spread out ages, Bo--challenges + joys at every age.

1:25 pm

got to load clothes dryer brb

86 here Scrabbler, slight breeze, spent the morning in the pool.

1:26 pm

I had no calls overnight + slept well. I saw 1 kid at hospital this AM and discharged him. Was in office 8:30-12 and am on call til Monday 8 AM. T minus 41.5 hrs.

on call can not be fun.

1:32 pm

Lost my wireless signal when I moved my chair--back with you again. Congrats Judi!

1:33 pm

*POOF* until tomorrow!

Scrabbs you have had some great kayak adventures already this eyar?

1:34 pm

Yesterday was a bit scarier than I prefer--some big waves/rapids and a near-capsize.

I would have been terrified, I am not much of a boater of any kind.

1:36 pm

I had to watch for rocks/boulders and to keep the kayak perpendicular to waves + water flow.

1:36 pm

My Adirondack baseball cap flew off and was gobbled up by the churning water. :-(

good thing you were able to navigate everything safely!

ok I am going to take some water out of the fish tank for the plants, and clean the tank sides a bit...

1:38 pm

Yes, it was challenging.

1:57 pm

1:57 pm

scrabbler can i ask you a med question please?

1:57 pm

Grr, I thought that was a phantom, like tart and tarty. TY

1:57 pm

Of course, Jacq.

1:58 pm

what is the recovery time for a double mastectomy and reconstruction? and what levels of pain are involved

1:59 pm

Well, I am a pediatrician, Jacq, but I would estimate 6-8 wks for most major operations. And much better after 2-3 wks.

2:00 pm

well enough to look after a 3 year old alone?

2:00 pm

Not for the first 2-3 wks.

2:00 pm

ok ty dear

2:01 pm

Toddlers + preschoolers are quite demanding and need close supervision + assistance.

2:02 pm

nods, she is demanding and likes cuddles

2:02 pm

I was told reconstruction was done as a seperate procedure

2:02 pm

no this will be done at the same time

2:02 pm

afer healing from the 1st

2:02 pm

And little kids need to be lifted + carried a lot.

2:02 pm

hi Pug

2:02 pm

hi

2:02 pm

My friend had both 2 mo ago.

2:03 pm

Hi Pugmama

2:03 pm

at the same time?

2:03 pm

guess it depends on the doctor

2:03 pm

how was she?

2:04 pm

My friend had a simple mastectomy (skin left on breast), nodes dissected in axilla, and reconstruction begun.

2:04 pm

it maybe depends on the type of surgery

2:04 pm

She went back to work in 2 wks and her kids are 16, 13, 10 + 8.

2:04 pm

mine is bilateral, skin and nipple saving with nodes removed

2:05 pm

Oh, honey, this is you we are discussing?

2:05 pm

yes

2:05 pm

oh dear so sorry to hear that

2:05 pm

it's prophylactic

2:06 pm

i'm only worried about the pain afterwards

2:06 pm

((Jacq))--now I am crying. When is surgery?

2:06 pm

might be in my future as well ,I understand...

2:06 pm

Oh, no cancer? Phew! BRCA (+)?

2:06 pm

please don't get upset, it isn't a bad thing, after this i won't have to worry about anything

2:06 pm

BRCA?

2:07 pm

Pugmama, have you been treated for breast cancer in past?

2:07 pm

i have clusters of fibroadenoma thats all

2:07 pm

thats the gene test right ?

2:07 pm

Gene that has been identified in women with strong family history of breast (and ovarian) cancer.

2:07 pm

have to go eat something will be back later, please don't worry it is a blessing

2:08 pm

Bye Jacq

2:08 pm

hugs all round and thank you for the advice

2:08 pm

no but many cysts removed they didnt like the looks of strong family history both sides & Ashkenazi heritage

2:09 pm

Aha. Did you have gene testing?

2:09 pm

Dr wanted me to have the gene test but I wasn't cover & couldn't afford it but I will be able to very soon

2:10 pm

very costly

2:10 pm

Is there a cancer center near you?

2:10 pm

not really sure

2:10 pm

clue for co 6/30 pls

2:11 pm

The last co6/30 = feline or older woman preying on younger male

2:12 pm

Cancer Treatment centers of America have one in Philly but thats quite a hike from here

2:13 pm

Pugmama, I saw where you live--consider major medical ctr in Philly, or Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC, for expert advice + care.

2:14 pm

If I got a positive on the gene test you bet I will!!!

2:15 pm

but will wait til I have the $ and get the test B4 I worry too much

2:15 pm

hey scrabs. spent a few hours in the ER last night with the stidkid who gets MRSA... cellulitis on his face. *sigh* glad I checked on him before I went to sleep at midnight -- what looked like a manageable problem at 9 had gotten worse fast.

2:15 pm

gene test? are you ill pugmama? *scans chog*

2:16 pm

we were talking of breast cancer risk

2:16 pm

oh golly. (pugmama) (jacq)

2:16 pm

Hasn't he had MRSA infections before? Those abscesses can develop quickly--drainage is key.

2:16 pm

heavily pissed in gene pool here

2:16 pm

it's worrisome. I have a mammogram scheduled for the first monday in June... I get lumps too. So far, nothing cancerous though.

2:17 pm

yes, he has had MRSA before. Scars left behind, too. I am just glad this was on his face where it was visible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed it.

2:17 pm

was SO carefull getting regular mamos but the cysts only show up on MRI & ultra sounds

2:18 pm

Bactrim ordered by the ER doc; will followup Monday with regular doc. Not like I had anything else to do, right?

2:18 pm

They usually do ultrasound on me, too. Just to be on the safe side. Personally, I'd rather they started with that -- mammograms HURT.

2:18 pm

what a shame Stid

2:19 pm

I'm done. Very fist time every I finish a puzzle.

2:19 pm

anyway... when I get back from a visit with Mother, will this grid be a welcome relief from grading papers and writing other papers?

2:19 pm

YAY Dog!!!!

2:19 pm

less traumatic than a girl with facial scarring however-men are just not judged by looks as much

2:20 pm

Yay DD!!!! Isn't it exciting?!

2:20 pm

Is abscess draining yet, Stid? Antibiotic will not penetrate abscess.

2:20 pm

That's true pugmama -- I am hopeful that we can avoid big scars this time -- it's on the cheekbone under the eye. But it's not a big deal really if there is one.

2:20 pm

yahoo Dag!

2:21 pm

Apply hot compresses often.

2:21 pm

No abcess, Scrabs. just cellulitis.

2:21 pm

Oh, MRSA usually causes abscesses--boils.

2:21 pm

He actually put hot compresses on it once I noticed it, hoping to get an abscess, but that just seemed to spread the infection.

2:22 pm

OY !

2:22 pm

Is acne triggering this?

2:22 pm

ah well. Kids. I am really learning a lot. And yes, I think acne was the start here, I noticed him playing with a pimple in that area a few days ago. He doesn't have bad acne, but it only takes one, right?

2:23 pm

clue for co 4/7

2:23 pm

Any opening in skin (pimple, burn, bug bite, scratch) = entry point for bacteria.

2:24 pm

I need it too, Boo '

2:24 pm

anyway.... I have read him the riot act (again) about skin care, NOT trying to pop pimples, etc etc ... and taking it seriously when something is out of the ordinary.

2:24 pm

Aha, co + Not telling truth = **ing.

2:24 pm

I am so far down to 74... LOL.

2:24 pm

BRB, must find snack + more tea.

2:25 pm

Will stop hogging the chog with my mama rant. (((Hugs everone))) thanks for confirmation of this scrabs.

2:25 pm

Will keep on keepin' on and see you again soon. *Poof*

2:25 pm

nasty wee grid with big teeth !

2:25 pm

bye stid

2:26 pm

interesting chog today.. I hope everyone turns out fine

2:28 pm

Hi DR. I haven't seen you in a long time. Been here? OK?

2:29 pm

I have not been around much. Life gets in the wa of computer games sometimes

2:29 pm

We are all good here. Same kid, same hubby... looking forward to summer

2:29 pm

Yes, life gets in the way of life.

2:29 pm

how are youScrabs?

2:30 pm

speaking of...must walk dogs & then Vac UGH!

2:30 pm

2:30 pm

2:30 pm

Ugh ! Pugmama... I just came in from weeds and roses

2:31 pm

Bye pugmama

2:31 pm

Bye Pugmama

2:31 pm

I am tired now. Will be taking Jake to karate in a bit then tonight we are going to see a play

2:33 pm

I need a break. 21 for later.

2:33 pm

evening all - anyone happen to be an expert on iTunes?!

2:34 pm

nope- sorry Nancy boy

2:34 pm

clue for cu 4/7

2:36 pm

no problem - will try and muddle through alone ;)

2:36 pm

cu**inate

2:36 pm

Boo- just make a square with the grid

2:36 pm

what's the problem,Nancy

2:37 pm

Sorry NB, I don't know anything about it at all.

2:37 pm

ty

2:38 pm

weeell, I just bought a new laptop, and I'd like to put all the songs from my old itunes library into THIS itunes library. impossible?!

2:39 pm

If you have external hard drive or jump drive you can ransfer from old lappy to new, then open iTunes and import songs.

2:39 pm

doesn't it have something where you can import the songs

2:39 pm

If no external memory is available, you can transfer them over the network, provided they are sharing the same internet. This is much more slow and may involve changing some settings to share your information over the network.

2:40 pm

Uniquity...I'm far from being computer literate. Not much clue what you just said ;) should I not be able to do it by simply plugging in the ipod?

2:41 pm

that's what I thought, Boo - can't seem to find one :S

2:42 pm

let me look on mine and see if I can help

2:42 pm

I don't use iPods as I haven't the inclination for brands..you might be able to though, as long as all the songs you want are on the iPod. Might depend on if it's Mac or PC though as to how you do it. Google will know though, if iPod manual doesn't.

2:43 pm

AH. I might have figured it out...

2:43 pm

hi all

2:43 pm

ah, so where do you find a non-branded mp3 player, Uniquity? ...make your own? ;)

2:43 pm

Good luck, I'm going back to my movie!

2:43 pm

I'd like to sync my iTouch from my laptop, too, but haven't had much success...

2:44 pm

Hey NB...I am just thinking...couldn't you set your library up on a share thing (don't know the exact wording) and then import it from there since it's shared?

2:44 pm

I love iPods Pini, but apple don't make it easy! ;)

2:45 pm

no, they sure don't, NB!!!

2:46 pm

I know you can have your iTunes set upon on different computers (up to 5 I think), but I've not figured out to make the original upload sync with the current without losing what's on the iTouch if I d/l - make sense?

2:46 pm

NB...if you figure it out, plz let me know!

2:46 pm

home sharing

2:47 pm

I haven't turned my desktop on since I got my laptop (last September)

2:48 pm

I'm not sure Ormal...don't know how one would go about doing that! seems to be the way though - have now googled some shady online instructions and am seeing where they lead¬

2:48 pm

hello all, just back from the Jersey shore. I bought beach tags. Beautiful day down there but the traffic on the way home was horrendous!!

2:48 pm

hi peri

2:49 pm

Hey Pini, how are you, hoave not seen you in a while

2:49 pm

I've been around here/there...been busy at work (it's the Spring term and graduation is in 3 weeks)

2:50 pm

spring term is busiest of the year

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

2:51 pm

2:52 pm

how are you doing today/tonight,. NB?

2:52 pm

not too bad thank you - wrestling with the demon iTunes. Reeeeally want to avoid putting my 800+ CDs on one by one, AGAIN, lol

2:52 pm

did not use my gas on the trip

2:53 pm

I think I'm going to google along with NB for a few minutes...perhaps, looking together, we'll figure it out, NB!

2:53 pm

much gas

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

Good evening/afternoon everybody. : )

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

...LOL...probably shouldn't laugh to much, it'll probably work!

2:54 pm

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

hi gwen

2:59 pm

I am SO glad I am passed false eyelashes. I put one of Sarah's on my upper lip, and did a German Dictator Impersonation - She was less than impressed...

howdee piniii

3:00 pm

YESSS! genius. think I've figured it out, Pini - perhaps!

3:00 pm

LOL Soodle!

3:00 pm

NB, try copy and pasting this link. I think it might help you or lead you in the right direction. I have to go take daughter out. http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-new s/2010/03/

3:01 pm

thanks Ormal - take care :)

3:01 pm

wait...are you on a MAC or PC, NB?

3:02 pm

thx ormal - looking

phantom: dragee

3:03 pm

I'm a PC - got it figured now though! bit laborious but feel like I've climbed everest. AND Top Gun is on. Leo isn't here so I guess it's the next best thing ;)

next phantom: gaydar

3:04 pm

I'm a PC, too...so I'll take any insight you might have! I'll have to go get my connection cord from the car tho...

3:06 pm

okay Pini - you do that then I'll talk you 'my' method :)

3:06 pm

ok - brb

3:10 pm

hi, mini-break from mowing, anyone need a clue?

no points for raguly???? (hey, it's a real word)

i only need 39 more word 8-(

3:11 pm

isn't it an italian pasta type word?

could be, but in english it is descriptive of a branch that has little nubs on it where smaller branches have been cut off

3:12 pm

it would be ra6, but not accepted...

3:12 pm

ahhh

found it on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_%28h eraldry%29

3:13 pm

interesting

heraldic terminology is one of my hobbies

3:14 pm

so no immediate clues needed?

3:15 pm

back

3:15 pm

hi pin

3:15 pm

pini, even

clue all the 9s and 10s please LOL

3:15 pm

NB...still there?

3:15 pm

hi feather!

3:15 pm

riiiight. so Pini, you're trying to move songs from the iPod to the iTunes, right?

3:15 pm

silly gwen!

3:16 pm

ok, then back out to mowing for me. will bbl!

3:16 pm

I'd just like to sync what's on my iTouch to the my iTunes account and add the new stuff from my iTunes to the iTouch...

want points for grocum . . .

3:17 pm

okay - I think what you need to do is take all the files that you wanna keep off your ipod, and store them on your computer. That way, you can sync your iTouch to your new iTunes and add the other songs later...I think

3:18 pm

will start with that, NB

3:18 pm

it took me a while to figure out how - couldn't get the songs off my iPod. Doing it now...slowly ;)

3:20 pm

(or just make a playlist with the new songs in itunes and then sync that playlist, pini)

3:20 pm

Hello Ata. Havent seen you for ages. Heard you had an accident? You ok now?

3:21 pm

ripped a ligament in my knee *sigh*

3:22 pm

how are you now?

3:22 pm

all trussed up in bondage braces :P but ok. can't walk. annoying!

3:22 pm

NB...your iPod doesn't have other "apps" on it, right?

3:23 pm

sorry to hear, ata, hope it heals quckly

3:23 pm

Ata - youve probably thrown all male Babblers into a tizzy!!

3:24 pm

not that I know of, Pini! First time for everything though ;)

3:24 pm

ok...jumping in with both feet then! (music, pics, and assorted apps)

3:24 pm

probably! but it's the only way to describe this thing! It's lots of clips and ties in black material and metal bracing struts all up my leg!

3:26 pm

Your enjoying this, arent you, Ata? : )

3:26 pm

have to get some amusement out of the situation :P

3:26 pm

Yiou

3:27 pm

You Go, Girl!!!

3:27 pm

it's really very annoying and itchy and painful. But I don't say that!

so, Ata, you are now into bondage?

3:28 pm

hospital-enforced bondage, oh yes LOL

so, I need to know - what did you do?

3:28 pm

oh, ripped the medial ligament in my knee

3:28 pm

very stupidly!

how?

3:29 pm

walking the dog ..... lol

3:29 pm

slipped on a bit of muddy ground

lovely and graceful

I cannot do this grid.....thought it was a cinch

3:30 pm

Ditto, ScienceGeek. I am floundering.

3:30 pm

oh yes. very artistic. much swearing and slipping. and Hobbit looking on in astonishment!

3:30 pm

me too

well, Hobbit was probably afraid!

3:31 pm

Ata. is himself looking after you?

3:31 pm

she came up straight away and licked my nose. darling girl!

3:31 pm

In his own individual way ...

3:31 pm

mum's been down for a few days too

did you have surgery?

3:32 pm

nope, had a horrid HORRID ankle to thigh plaster cast for 2 weeks. now this brace for 4 -5 weeks. Plus a lot of physio

wow! sux to be you - LOL - sorry

3:33 pm

lol it's ok. I know!

3:33 pm

Ata, my beloved King...15 stone Rothweiller had to be put to sleep last week. I had him 12 years, and he got lame, and the vet said it was bone cancer, and there was no hope. We are all stilll totally devastated.

drink wine

3:33 pm

I've just ordered a big lot of books

3:33 pm

NO! oh poor Soodle *many many hugs* you must be devastated

oh, soods, sorry

okay I am hating this grid. Will see you all tomorrow. Need to make stuff

*hugs to all*

3:34 pm

good plan I think!

3:35 pm

Ata, he was Actually. part of the family. It is very very painful. I still find myself putting scraps etc into his bowl, and then I realise....

3:36 pm

I'm sure .... I can't even begin to think what I'll feel like when Hobbit eventually goes, it's too painful even to consider! I'm so sorry :(:(

3:36 pm

Thank you, Ata. May it be many a long day before Hobbit joins King!

3:37 pm

omg I hope so! I do feel for you :( and Hobbit isn't even 1/4 the size, he must have been such a physical presence around you

3:44 pm

7:28 pm

concept development currently

7:28 pm

ooooo, thanks tor!

7:29 pm

ooooo, my avg virus didn't like that site!

7:29 pm

ok, so what exactly is concept development? i'm bored, thus the 20 questions routine.

7:29 pm

i'd trust avg, its never led me astray

7:30 pm

concept development so far appears to be brainstorming 500,000 ideas and taking one and perfecting it

7:30 pm

interesting. there's a class for that? well, apparently so.

7:31 pm

there is if you're an art student anyway

7:31 pm

been ages since i've caught up with you, didn't know you were now an art student. that's cool.

7:31 pm

i always think i'd like to go back and get a photography degree.

7:32 pm

they make photography degrees?

7:33 pm

seems so. i get ads targeted at me on facebook about it. made the mistake of contacting on, just for curiosity.

7:33 pm

i've designed a logo for a broadcasting company so far, am designing one for the family business, and am about to start (hopefully) doing work for the local paranormal society

7:33 pm

that's actually how i ended up at art school...darned facebook

7:33 pm

they wouldn't stop calling me after. i ended up calling back and telling them that after the way the pestered me and wouldn't leave me alone, there was no way i'd ever consider paying them money for anything!

7:34 pm

they're only interested in talking to you until you're enrolled. then you have to hire a private detective to get anything.

7:34 pm

that's neat about the logos!

7:34 pm

ha

7:35 pm

is it an online course, or do you actually go to a real building and everything?

7:35 pm

yeah, the logos are fun

7:35 pm

Illustrator is a BLAST

7:36 pm

its all online, had to do a sculpture for a final in my last class...it was on facebook. did you see it? the wine bottle.

7:36 pm

no, gotta go see!

7:36 pm

go see then!

7:36 pm

ideograph?

7:37 pm

yeah

7:37 pm

it had to relate the history of type

7:37 pm

ooooh, neat stuff!

7:38 pm

weird, the instructor keeps passing me over when commenting on assignments...i'm kinda hurt

7:38 pm

i thought so, oh, and it had to be a clear sculpture

7:39 pm

i like how you put the text inside

7:40 pm

and that my friend, was the single most difficult thing i've done so far this year

7:40 pm

what was the paragraph on?

7:41 pm

on the history of type, starting with pictograph to ideograph to phoenician alphabet etc.

7:41 pm

and what do these 60 drawings have to be on? anything? lol, and how did you end up the night before they're due without doing any? (says the self-proclaimed procrastinator extraordinaire)

7:41 pm

no, i meant what material

7:42 pm

i like the cat and mouse, cool lines in the cat

7:43 pm

um, from what i gather, they need to demonstrate how different line shapes, textures, etc give the appearance of say motion, speed, growth, and what not

7:43 pm

cat was just me playing with my favorite toy, the vistablet

7:43 pm

oooo, neat

7:44 pm

we'll see

7:46 pm

bored bored bored.

7:46 pm

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

i seem to be a little ADD tonight, sorry

7:49 pm

sigh. so mundane.

7:50 pm

7:51 pm

30 emotions with a single line???? yikes.

7:51 pm

not sure i could come up with 30 emotions even

7:52 pm

well, one line per emotion i would think

7:52 pm

poor kiddo

10:12 pm

Hello stidmama! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle!

10:12 pm

I am missing one of the CO6/30s. I have the large cat. Please help.

10:12 pm

Oh, didn't realise you had a sick kid, stid.

10:12 pm

he'll be okay. He needs to learn to care for the acne appropriately so he doesn't leave openings for bacteria.

10:12 pm

hey Min!

10:12 pm

That gy 6/30 word is gy plus an ra4/4 word harpjane

10:13 pm

10:14 pm

Oh dear, stid - he's a pizza face? Yes, that does need care and cleanliness.

10:14 pm

I actually TAUGHT on Thursday! :-D That was great fun. I much prefer to do things like that than sit in classrooms AS a student.

10:14 pm

It's not what you need when you are in your teens and seeking a mate.

10:14 pm

rofl jac -- no, he isn't. That's what is so frustrating! With a little more attention to hygiene he would have such LOVELY skin!

10:14 pm

And while I am looking for hints........I am missing the CE5 as well.

10:16 pm

ce5 is an anagram of a ground digger with a c stuck in there somewhere.

10:22 pm

10:22 pm

10:26 pm

The da 4/5 is 5/15/10. Here is yo 4/7 story of clues for today. It was an ug4/9 grid. I'd ra4/4 this grid a negative 10!Not happy with my monkeys today.First they were ta5/16 and didn't get here until very late Then my monkeys were very unru4/7 and they would not follow any of my ru 4/5s. This enra4/6ed me so I fired them & they da4/5ed out of my ya 4/7 through the ga 4/5. Then I hired a le 5/14 to co 4/6 help me. Actually it was a co6/30 since he kept flying around. He was stubborn as a mu 4/6 and would not budge so I had to dr4/7 him here on a dr4/7. He really did not want to help me today. I was filled with gl 4/6 when I did finish grid. I gave my le 5/14 a tr 4/6 of cookies. Now I have an ur4/7 to do some yo4/8 to calm down.

10:27 pm

think Shakepeare, a Nymph in the woods.

10:27 pm

10:30 pm

goodnight all.

10:31 pm

10:34 pm

10:35 pm

Just yell if you need help, Harp.

10:35 pm

oh, i finished, thanks to you!

10:35 pm

I'm here off and on,but now I am off to take a shower

10:36 pm

I made myself promise I would do some housework before i went to bed, but I babbled instead.....

10:36 pm

I am here for the moment, and then will go work on schoolwork a bit

10:36 pm

Oh, okay Harp. See you mextt grid then.

10:36 pm

Just got back from a four day BUSY trip.....being the lead cow for 31 people.

10:37 pm

lead COW?

10:37 pm

not tin, or iron, or steel?

10:37 pm

<in - see you next grid, too.xx

10:37 pm

It's a term of endearment in the west, lol! maybe it should be Copper Cow!

10:37 pm

She meant in the forefront, stid.

10:38 pm

oh! LOL thanks!

10:38 pm

when the Lead Cow gets up, everyone follows.....

10:38 pm

no I like stid's definition better!

10:39 pm

The lead cow is actually very important n farming terms. If you don't have her co-operation, you're f*cked.

10:39 pm

*envisioning a cow of steel, faster than a speeding tornado, able to leap the rocky mountains in a single bound...*

10:40 pm

that would have been handy, i would have been home earlier!

10:40 pm

I get it now! LOL the head of the pack. "alpha bitch" in dog terms.

10:40 pm

And, I might add, the lead cow doesn't have a lot of privacy......

10:41 pm

No, sh doesn't, harp.

10:41 pm

:-D no, I suspect it's like a mama, they follow you EVERYWHERE!

10:41 pm

so. here I am, dragging my feet and NOT getting the reading done.

10:41 pm

You got tha right, stid.

10:42 pm

what are you reading stid (or rather, what are you NOT reading?)

10:42 pm

I am going to do the mature thing and read these texts that are "due" for Tuesday.

10:43 pm

It's a book by Elizabeth J Meyer about "GEnder, Bullysing, and Harrassment"

10:44 pm

I'm going off to put my cold feet on hapily snoring Other Half's bum now. That's what men's bums are for - warming your feet on. Happy Babbling all.xxx

10:44 pm

love it jac!

10:44 pm

hi all

10:44 pm

sounds like a book worth knowing about stid

10:45 pm

It's actually a good book, and not HUGE, the way many have been.

10:45 pm

hey jmc

10:45 pm

*interested in singing bullies*

10:45 pm

we are three months and a week away from our meeting in Olympia!!!

10:45 pm

And if I ever do 'grow up', I'll be ashamed of myself forr doing so.

10:45 pm

LOL Jac! sweet dreams!

10:45 pm

Is this for a presentation or something?

10:45 pm

no, just part of the curriculum for the Master's in TEaching.

10:46 pm

Ah, good for you and good for the education system for finally addressing bullying!

10:46 pm

I am going to B.S. my way through whatever I didn't actually read this week -- I have other tasks that are more pressing, but I am just tired enough that trying to work on the other things is not going to be useful.

10:47 pm

I was glad to see this text in the list, actually. Bullying is a personal interest of mine. (almost said hobby...)

10:47 pm

Last night in the car, my Special Olympics athletes talked about all the ways they were teased when they were in high school.....

10:47 pm

*shock look*

10:47 pm

And it is also part of the small directed research project (survey of the literature) I decided to do this quarter.

10:48 pm

oh gee, harpjane. yes, that is why it interests me -- my highschool friends who were differnt, and of course my own son with challenges.

10:48 pm

They just talk about it as if it is a natural thing, like how old were you when you learned to ride a bike, and how many times a day did you get teased.....

10:48 pm

Ah, i forgot about your son.

10:49 pm

One guy said his voice sounded funny because of his cleft palate and so they all teased him for being a "fem"

10:49 pm

stuff that still hurts 20 years later

10:50 pm

you don't have to be too different to be bullied i still remember from 50 years ago

10:50 pm

oh, yes, it is all very familiar.

10:50 pm

I was bullied and it still hurts me

10:50 pm

I was really flat chested until the middle of college so I got teased a lot, but never really anything physical

10:51 pm

oh course, it wasn't until "cyberbullying" and the very public problems of popluar kids of well-off parents that it seemed to get the spotlight.

10:51 pm

i still bar the toy "cooties" from my house

10:52 pm

i am glad it is getting attention for whatever reason

10:53 pm

I have read some stuff about teasing, and the "experts" agree that teasing can build relationships, be fun, help people get to know each other, etc.

10:54 pm

But the "teeter totter" analogy is the way to tell if it's getting out of hand. If it's done between two people of equal size, status, intellectual functioning, and they are both having fun, then it's okay.

10:54 pm

I think there is a difference between good natured teasing, harassment, and bullying. I think those are three separate items with similarities.

10:54 pm

teasing is different from bullying

10:54 pm

If one person is doing all the teasing, then it's bullying

10:54 pm

the first co6 30 , please, a clue perhaps?

10:55 pm

hey PAV!

10:55 pm

its a flying lemur pav

10:55 pm

add an olympic sled with a different last letter

10:55 pm

co 6/30: co + baby be***a (whale) + vowel

10:55 pm

see if that helps! lol

10:55 pm

oh oh jmc, PB!

10:56 pm

ack!

10:56 pm

but i got a word! lol

10:57 pm

true! any way you get a wurd is good...

10:58 pm

earlier I was at Mother's without babble expert, and entered the SAME wurd in the grid multiple times because I couldn't figure out why it wasn't adding to the list! LOL

10:58 pm

so. I am going to go read, and maybe pick up the younger stidkid from the play he went to.

10:58 pm

help with the ta5 please

10:59 pm

I can babble on my ipod but can't chat or use lickety

10:59 pm

Tonight I expect to sleep without interruptions! LOL

11:40 pm

i have no room to talk jill since i think i suggested international CO day and still didn't contribute :-(

11:47 pm

11:51 pm

* tripping in for flip *

11:52 pm

hiya jmc and jilli ;)

11:52 pm

hiya

11:52 pm

hi pini -- nice ruby (see mine?)

11:53 pm

refreshing to view

11:53 pm

I almost picked that one, too! :)

11:54 pm

lots of people who suggest themes don't follow them -- can't understand that.

11:54 pm

I don't see mine yet...will wait for flip before troubleshooting...

11:54 pm

interesting variations, pini :)

11:55 pm

I'm doing the next few in honor of your bday, jilli! :)

11:55 pm

ah well i suggested CO in Jan -- who knew I was going to be stuck in superman mode

11:56 pm

I never knew there were star rubies. Star sapphires, yes, and there was quite a fad for them in the late 1940s for engagement rings.

11:56 pm

Oh, thanks, pini!!!

11:57 pm

brb

11:57 pm

;)

11:57 pm

Which mus send astologers into a tizzy.
