I am almost halfway through the quarter. Then student teaching in the spring which will hopefully result in certification.

subbing is a good way to scope a district out. For me, it's a career choice, and a career change. I like the fact that I can take days off as needed, and I like thinking on my feet. And - - surpirse - - - I like teenagers! Young people energize me. We need to make room for them in this world.

5:21 am

the Chinese NY starts today, frogface, check out my profile :) And that of jillibus, which has a great writeup too.

5:21 am

ooo ok i will once i have one in every box ticked off - although i am struggling with that little idea lol

5:22 am

lol, is it a toughie today?

5:22 am

nah im just crap lol

5:23 am

probably not - almost all regular babblers are darn smart people ;)

5:24 am

define smart

5:24 am

although i am good at certain things it takes me brain a few more hours to wake up nowadays

5:24 am

errrr... like me? *innocent smile*

5:25 am

aww go on - i bet you're cleverer than i am

5:26 am

cant believe there are 13 j words!!!

5:26 am

I can be pretty clever and I can also be incredibly stupid. As most people, I guess. But I am serious about babblers being usually intelligent and good conversationalists. And you don't stand out, so you must be too :)

5:27 am

well i can certainly hold my own conversationally - i like a good natter and i also appreciate and can respond to sensible conversation. and this early in the day it is nice to talk to somebody such as yourself xx

5:27 am

*grin* thanks, and right back at you.

5:28 am

:) welcomexx

5:30 am

13 j words... I can vouch for 7. Am usually finding Js tough to find too. But as long as there are no Ks, I am a happy little babbler.

5:30 am

yikes i got 4 j's!!! well done you

5:32 am

you will find more soon. There are not all weird...just a few :)

5:33 am

although i have got one of the nine's woohoooooo

5:34 am

wtg! I got one too, which is special. Usually I find the biggies somewhere in the middle of the game.

5:35 am

hello friends. almost nbt (missing the two e's in right column) in 25 words....not too shabby!

5:35 am

hey trif xxx

5:36 am

hiya Triffles, great job! Still smiling over the sunny word doc?

5:37 am

well, we have another storm today, with more school closings and such. it is such a bummer, as I am on deadline to finish a coat for a client (costume job) and I can't go any further til I hit the fabric store, but not sure that is going to be possible today

5:38 am

argh, that is not nice. quite a bit of frustration going around, isn't there? Go outside, kick the storm to australia and get on with your day!

5:38 am

any clue for the fe6/42 ?

5:38 am

I think I am going to have to go out, even with the storm. hope the store is open when I get there!

5:39 am

trif...call them first

5:39 am

(missing Es, think to go in x 2 and formerly)

5:40 am

oh, man....thanks sprite. fish for brekky!

5:40 am

hello Ouwachita

5:40 am

thanks ouwachita...I will

5:40 am

*hits Trif over the head with a sweet little guppy*

5:40 am

hi sprite

5:42 am

(((whispering))) I hope work is cancelled today too....

5:42 am

yes that would be nice.

5:43 am

I know for sure two kids won't be there because their schools are closed and they are both contract students. the other students are delivered by their parents, so not sure on them

5:44 am

hm if so, let them be delivered to your place, lol

5:44 am

the good news is that the fabric store is right near the office, so could combine the trip, and thus justify me being out to the fabric store

5:45 am

as long as you are sure to take care of yourself. Schools and such aren't closed for nothing, I bet.

5:46 am

thank you! the kids are always up my nose to drive them over to a friends house on snow days! I don't seem to be successful in getting them to see that snow day means "don't travel"

5:47 am

lol kids will be kids! My son once wanted to go swimming, after we got off of the water on a canoe trip because a thunderstorm broke loose.

5:47 am

well, we lucked out again! little ice, not much snow. they have downgraded warning to advisory

5:48 am

are you in new york ivesy?

5:48 am

ah good for you, ivesy, gratz.

5:48 am

yes, south of buffalo. they must have been hit hard.. everything out there is closed

5:49 am

ugh. I imagine buffalo is just brutal in the winter

5:49 am

my brain doesn't want to accept that onion(s) is a phantom today.

5:49 am

course, now i get to go to work lol, library doesnt close often... buffalo is brutal. normally we are too, but for some reason we havent been getting hit

5:51 am

sprite, I can't get my fingers to agree with my eyes...they just keep typing the same words, even though my brain and eyes know they aren't there...

5:52 am

hehehe at least we understand eachother :D

5:52 am

finally got the fe6...done

5:52 am

ok, I need to take a cat nap. love to all

7:34 am

Hi Bamakitty, thank you

7:34 am

yw :)

7:34 am

I flew through the first 27. :-)

7:35 am

brazilian fruit, right? now trying to figure out the spelling hahah

7:35 am

have you ever had the black been stew with a related name?

7:35 am

lots of vowels for a 6-letter word

7:36 am

also called a pineapple guava (according to the dictionary)

7:36 am

bean* duh

7:37 am

I am not a fan of black beans

7:37 am

f's finished and 2 of the n's

7:37 am

Um...that Brazilian fruit should NOT be a playable word. NOT.

7:37 am

ruby, why is your hubby in the hospital

7:37 am

((Molly and Bichon)) good morning

7:37 am

clue for fe6?

7:38 am

he fell on Sat after having been sick all week and has pneumonia. I've gone on too much about it all week! embarrassed

7:38 am

fe + me myself and * + ***n Rivers hosted for Johnny Carson sometimes

no need to be embarrassed ruby!

7:38 am

green guava sounds yucky. But the stew is good; I wonder if they put the fruit in it

7:38 am

I think this is the first I've heard of it. Wishing him a speedy recovery

7:39 am

Ruby, we are a family here, never any need to be embarrassed

7:39 am

thank you bichon

7:41 am

Hi Babblers.. opening chat and glad to see a great clue for the fe6, thanks Mom

7:41 am

"Types of words not allowed: Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary." Who decides what foreign words ARE and ARE NOT in the Enable dictionary? Very fickle rules.

7:41 am

Good morning Aloy.

morning Aloy

7:42 am

I agree, Molly.. so many foreign currencies are included, for example

7:42 am

enable allows some japanese foods and not others

7:42 am

fe6...fe + me, myself and * + ***n Crawford is a famous actress.

7:42 am

miso, yes, natto, no

7:42 am

MollyL ... i am still ticked off that afro is not a word

7:42 am

of course that shows my age, that I remember Johnny Carson and that I remember a young Joan Rivers :-)

7:42 am

Hi Jmbdobie

7:43 am

right with you, Mom, lol

7:43 am

hi mom

7:43 am

hi jmb and aloy

7:43 am

I can't get over spam not being a word

7:43 am

Jeeze Mom, sorry. I didn't see your clue.

7:43 am

absolutely, I remember Jo** before she had all that work done and she was homely anyway.....

7:43 am

why be sorry, Molly? no need

7:43 am

hi ruby and others

7:44 am

she is definitely a mess now

7:44 am

Hi Ruby, glad to hear your husband is improving. What happened to Gramma? Missed her news.

7:45 am

Gramma had news?

7:45 am

31 left bbl take care all!

7:45 am

bye bye jmb, have a good day

7:45 am

bye, jmb

bye jmb, take care

7:45 am

and pitter is a word.... the pitter patter of little feet

7:45 am

I saw a comment that said "Gee Gramma, that's terrible."

think they referring to fact she could not find her last word

7:46 am

and had to leave anyway

7:46 am

whoohooo - snow day - work closed - cant believe it...good morning everyone

7:46 am

wonder if patter is acceptable

morning River

7:46 am

hi River

7:46 am

woo hoo for ((River)) good moring

7:47 am

yes Aloy, it is :-(

7:47 am

can't have patter without pitter

7:47 am

get your dancing snow shoes out, river!

7:47 am

morning*

7:47 am

Mom, pitter IS IN dictionary.com. Defined as someone who pits. Enable is NOT FAIR.

7:47 am

will need them today - expecting 2 feet

7:48 am

but you can add a S to it and get two words

yikes River!! you folks have certainly been hit this winter

7:48 am

oh dear River, glad you are staying home

7:48 am

sigh, another strike against enable

7:48 am

7:51 am

lol, my son's wife is Lizzie

7:51 am

when I lived in Bignhamton, they used to close the schools with only 6 inches because the school buses couldn't do all the hills

8:18 am

83 words but need a nap. Bye for now and {{everybody!!}}

8:18 am

nagh, not till may. Just til Thursday. We're actually used to snow and all that, so once the weather stops precipitating, we'll have the roads cleared and businesses back open in 24 hours or less.

8:18 am

my young dog is so funny - loves this snow - rolls in it making doggie angels

8:18 am

of course, getting the storm to stop seems to be a trick. Right now they're saying snow til at least 3pm

8:19 am

someone can stop shaking the snow globe please

8:19 am

I had to come back to say I love the idea of doggie snow angels *real poof*

8:20 am

we have out first 4 inches or so right now - supposed I should shovel that before it gets too heavy - will be out there every 2 hours I think

8:20 am

fe 6/43 plz

8:21 am

oops thats 6/42

8:21 am

sinn fe*n+ ***n of arc/ collins/crawford/river

8:21 am

Y'all in the path of the big storm, stay safe. I'm glad to hear that things are SENSIBLY closing down. It always disturbs me to hear that places of employment stay open in bad weather.

it can be time consuming River but trying to stay ahead of it is better I think than trying to do it all at once

8:22 am

there is no way I will be able to shovel 2 feet when this is done

8:22 am

hospitals and pharmaces never close

8:22 am

won't help, river. if you're getting our storm, the wind makes shovelling impossible. There is no point. my husband was supposed to go to work at 6am, so he was out at 4am to try and shovel out, and an hour later when I attempted teh same, his foot prints were completely gone.

8:22 am

I think it's better for you to do it a bit at a time Nono. If you wait until it's all done, the snow is too heavy and it's bad for your back and other things.

8:22 am

pharmacies even. I used to work in a hospital and my b-il-l works at Rite Aid

8:23 am

hi all

8:23 am

I am lucky - my work closed today but husband had to go in -wasnt happy

8:23 am

the grocery store I work for is open. They want me to try and come in when I can, but the roads are closed in our entire county.

8:23 am

found 11 of the j words myself :)

hi Peri

8:23 am

hi NoNo

8:23 am

i wait until my neighbour comes along with the snowblower..i have 4x4...i just drive through

8:24 am

I'm jealous peri - only have 8 here but havent listed yet

8:25 am

oh good - I have 32 words left - forcing myself not to list yet

8:25 am

8:26 am

do you want a clue River?

8:26 am

just found one

8:26 am

found the so8

8:30 am

thanks Nono

one good thing about this storm... the stupid groundhog did not see his shadow

8:30 am

River, does your husband work in some kind of emergency capacity?

8:31 am

no he is an engineer

8:32 am

he called before leaving but they were open for business - my company closed (insurance) I was very thankful

all 6 so words come off the so4/7

one word left and its a p8

8:38 am

Well River, I'm sorry he has to go out in such bad weather. I wish him safe travels.

9:20 am

hi mark

9:20 am

doing fine, mark... and you?

9:20 am

My house has two feet of snow on it. It is AWESOME!

9:20 am

brother was in LV at a casino yesterday while the pro bowl was on score at the time was 42-7 a real blow out.just for laughs he walked up to the counter and asked what the payoff would be on a finish spread of less than 10 points,the guy thought a minute and offered him the odds of 1000 to1.he had the hundred dollar bill in his hand and the wife told him not to waste his cash....final score 55-46.....

9:21 am

lol

9:21 am

payoff would of been 100,000

oh crossy!

9:22 am

he was right there with the cash in hand about to hand it over! lol

9:22 am

Wow. Almost there!

mark most of the snow has blown off the top of the house but we have drifts about 5 feet high in the yard.

stop rolling your eyes crossy. this is new to us!

9:23 am

GE, I have the same thing. We could go sledding!

2 of my kids are still sleeping but we will all be going out shortly to shovel and play!

i hear that some places are getting ice after th snow. is that you?

9:26 am

lol,i am not laughing honesy

9:26 am

honest

9:26 am

morning, all!

9:26 am

howdy uu

hmm if you can't spell it you can't feel it

how did you fare uusue?

9:26 am

18.7" of snow here over the past 2 days, temps tonight could fall as low as -20

9:27 am

i iz having a case of the sneezles....

9:27 am

and it's still windy

9:27 am

Not us, GE. We just finished.

9:27 am

Hey uu!

9:27 am

Hey, Mark!

can't believe the poor folks trapped on LSD for 9 hours last night

9:29 am

yeah, that looked awful. One lady said she got on at 3 pm hoping to beat the storm; she's off the Drive but still not home

9:29 am

That is terrible. We got hit terribly.

9:30 am

looks like there won't be much of a snow removal window between the wind dying down and the temps crashing, so we'll probably get out there soon even though it's still blowing

yeah it's fun when you are inside and have power. anything else pretty much sucks

9:31 am

indeed. we lost partial cable (digital channels quit working although the analog ones were still fine) but everything else kept working.

9:33 am

ok, why is pitter not in the dictionary? How will I get the stones out of my cherries?

9:33 am

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT! We love Snow Days!

guess you better stop using it since it doesn't exist

yay godt

9:35 am

we used to love our cottage,had a small free standing wood stove and a covered front porch to catch a breeze off the lake in the summer,but we kept the wood pile there in the winter storm would come up and kill the power for 5 or 6 days but we did not care.fire up the wood stove get out the kerosine lamps,put a home made soup on to cook and bring out the shiskey and the crokinole board;)) good times

no je 6 -- there is a je 7 (wharves) and a ji 6 (dance bug)

9:59 am

TNana, there is no je6, my mistake. There is a ji6. I was referring to the fe6 which is a Brazilian fruit and an unfair word, in my opinion.

10:00 am

just clued trentsnana

10:00 am

As always....I need help with the N on the right please?

10:01 am

And then there is the fact that ji6 is kosher, but pitter is not. Harumph.

10:01 am

10:02 am

10:02 am

Car, what fishermen use, but an extra consonant at the end.

10:12 am

the start of a migraine?

10:12 am

happens to me sometimes

10:13 am

Hoping to fend it off...

10:13 am

damn my computer is not talking to the server.

10:13 am

i is getting tired of this

10:13 am

they have pills for that, car... do you have any?

10:14 am

Nope. Just coffee and Aleve

10:14 am

But I do have nasal spray for my sinuses and that helps too.

10:15 am

Bye all.

10:15 am

my ex was a neurologist.... maybe you should see one... they have good pills to abort a migraine if you catch it at the beginning

10:20 am

or just wait,in many women,migraines vanish as they age my wife was originally given caffergot..take if you think you may get a headache what a riot that is,then after many years pills that are 100 dollars each..did not last long! and finally something that does work and is cheap amatryptalie,but it leaves you a walking zombie for half the next day

10:21 am

amatryptaline*

10:22 am

does a number of things,it is mainly a anti-depressant and also a sleep/migraine aid

10:22 am

hello all - just got here and saw the conversation - I have used Relpax for years. Very minor side effects and the pain is gone within 20 min - half hour.

10:22 am

Just my 2 cents :)

10:22 am

that's the one ... relpax forgot the name

10:24 am

and the cost of relpax?

10:24 am

I used to get the ones with the auras but then, as Crossy said, those went away and I got a new kind where the tension builds up in your neck for a while before you get slammed. They have tappered WAY off and the Relpax is amazing when they do come.

10:24 am

VERY costly. But since I only need one or two pills a year it works out.

10:24 am

my wife get a migraine a week

10:24 am

so that is not for me

10:25 am

sometimes 2 a week..sometimes one that lasts 2 weeks...:(

10:25 am

Your poor wife! I worked with someone that had the same affliction. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

10:25 am

my daughter uses relpax - thank goodness she has insurance to help pay for it

10:26 am

and all the good meds are so cost prohibative!

10:26 am

i mean hell,are they made of fairy dust and unicorn blood?...

10:28 am

I'm baaaaack!

10:29 am

fireworks!

10:29 am

Can I have a hint for either 9?

10:30 am

10:30 am

oooh, migraines are terrible!!

10:31 am

10:31 am

12:10 pm

hi all back from chopping and shovelling the rest of the snow and ice in back of the house!!! now to tackle the driveway. still have some snow and ice on it. waiting til it reaches 40 degress.

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

maybe Dr_God is having trouble with the weather where he lives

12:10 pm

Hi Peri

12:10 pm

I shoveled about 2 feet off the porches and stairs; son used the snowblower on the driveway. Will be taking him out to eat soon as a reward :-)

12:12 pm

3:50 pm

Alright, thanks. :)

3:51 pm

eo7 pls? xxx

3:52 pm

no eo7 but there's an eo6, turn the eo4 into an adjective

3:52 pm

fe6 please?

eo + consonant + one little particle

3:53 pm

ok eo6 lol and wots an adjective?

holy cow, are you too young to have learned about adjectives? LOL

3:53 pm

what gwen says except misspell the particle

3:54 pm

no im too old to remember them lmao

oo4, you're right, not really a particle!

cos...... fe + first person pronoun + ***n Jett

ty diane and what a silly word! (adding to collection of silly words)

3:56 pm

weird word. tgabjs!!

certainly is.... I haven't gone to see what it means !

3:57 pm

i meant.. thanks lol

got it !! , cos :-)

and you can pluralize it! (not in the grid, just in general)

tgabjs

funny what can happen when you get off the proper keys

"evergreen shrub native to South America"

thanks, ms. book doctor :-)

"pronounced throat-warbler-mangrove" LOL

hey, i'm not a book doctor for nuthin . . .

4:01 pm

did any of you have trouble with the site earlier?

can anyone clue the right-column N? i need it for nbt

4:01 pm

All afternoon TNana.

4:01 pm

Yes, the site went down at least twice. Server problems, apparently.

4:01 pm

what a bird lays eggs in

I saw a bunch of red messages when I cam back to computer, so I just refreshed

4:02 pm

okay - hoping it wasn't just me

4:02 pm

You are not alone TNana. : D

4:02 pm

ne4

running okay for me, but who knows whether the interwebs will be 100% during this blizzard-thing

4:02 pm

Right-hand N has a double consonant in the 4, and then its plural

a few times my typing didn't show up in Add Word....

I am blind, FISH ME! (and nbt woot)

no, the right-hand N is not the one with double consonant, it's the one you use to house your birdies

4:04 pm

Oops! Sorry - I get distracted by multiple letters :-(

for example, that game with the crops and stuff (which shall not be named) has been iffy all day

4:05 pm

gwen, t hat game on facebook you mean?

yeah, that facebook game, with the agricultural theme . . .

4:05 pm

its been working fine for me all day

4:06 pm

i finally got my duck pond built lol

hooray, cos! but we should not chat about that in here, very rude, IMO

4:08 pm

:-P very well

Oh please, someone put me away somewhere. I'm sitting here thinking "How cool. Cos built a duck pond." Then I see the Facebook reference.

Bad day for Babbler's.

4:41 pm

now the chat shows up.

4:41 pm

congrats Gwen

4:42 pm

Hi mom!

4:42 pm

((Car.)) how are you?

4:42 pm

may I ask how the little guy is doing?

4:42 pm

Hanging in. Tough week.

4:43 pm

oh Car. I am so sorry to hear that

4:43 pm

Did get out of him that someone is really bothering him in school. Will be meeting with his teacher and guidance counselor Friday, hopefully.

4:46 pm

the poor guy, I hope the weather cooperates and you can have the meeting

4:46 pm

Getting the schedules to jibe is the bigger problem!

4:47 pm

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all

4:47 pm

Thanks! Time for dinner! BBL!

4:48 pm

bye bye ((Car.))

5:07 pm

bye car... *sniff*

5:07 pm

hey all!

5:09 pm

Hi Stid

5:09 pm

babble is a little wonky today

5:10 pm

hey Mom

5:10 pm

a lot of things are a little wonky today I think

5:10 pm

how are things with you?

5:10 pm

I think so too

5:11 pm

not horrible today. I think the virus from last week is actually gone, and although I have done virtually NO school-related work today I think I have most of the ideas I need. We'll see.

5:12 pm

how about you?

5:12 pm

I am so glad you are feeling better.

5:12 pm

I will spend this evening doing the "fun" part of thinking about science instruction. :-D

5:12 pm

things here are pretty good. Can't wait until Spring

5:12 pm

Tomorrow I will dive in to doing intensive writing and reading.

5:13 pm

there you go, that's a plan

5:14 pm

spring sounds good... unfortunately it has been so unseasonably warm, dry and sunny that everything here thinks it IS spring. and it could still turn very cold again.

5:14 pm

Hey, stid, what kind of science do you teach?

5:14 pm

NEXT fall, I am determined to plant more bulbs to replace the ones eaten last year... LOL

Stop eating those bulbs.

5:15 pm

well, I am in the process of becoming a teacher, and one component of the program this quarter (in my spare time while also writing the master's paper) is to ...

5:15 pm

brb phone

5:17 pm

darn kid! I told him THREE TIMES to ride the bus to our house. He went to his grandparents' instead. So now Tom will have to pick him up, too.

5:17 pm

*sigh*

5:18 pm

Ah. I teach physics at a university, so I never really learned to teach (except by doing). But I've been doing for 29 years now (egads) so I've picked up a trick or two.

5:18 pm

anyway. I am writing a short unit on measurement, with a focus on force and motion for 4th/5th grade. Partly as an exercise, partly because I will be teaching in one of those grades in the spring.

5:18 pm

Writing exams right now - not one of my favorite parts.

5:18 pm

LOL experience is a great "teacher" too!

5:18 pm

I LOVE physics....

5:18 pm

me too :-)

5:19 pm

I also really really love chemistry (it was easy for me), but my heart is in the garden.

5:19 pm

Writing assessments is not fun -- summative tests are so high-stakes.

Your heart is in the garden? And you are eating bulbs?????

5:19 pm

maybe the bulbs are onions?

5:20 pm

"you are what you eat" n'est ce-pas?

5:20 pm

I think I will go, keep losing internet connection. ((hugs) to all of you and extra hugs to ((Stid))

5:20 pm

garlic bulbs, actually -- the garlic in the garden is looking SO healthy!

5:20 pm

((((Mom)))) I miss seeing you. Stay warm!

Don't eat your heart out though.

5:20 pm

is there an F6?

5:20 pm

((Stid)) you as well. See you soon

5:21 pm

Ah. My garden looks like snow at the moment.

5:21 pm

yes, a very weird fe6.

5:21 pm

yes Wildcat ... fe + me myself and * + ***n of Arc

5:21 pm

promise to not do that kaplan!

5:22 pm

hm. looks portuguese to me... thanks!

5:22 pm

ty how is anyone expected to know that??

5:22 pm

maybe if you live in Brazil; apparently it's a fruit one can get there

5:22 pm

this morning babblers were saying it is a Brazilian fruit

Wow.

5:22 pm

bye for now

5:23 pm

a foreign word?? in our grid??

5:23 pm

firewords

5:23 pm

intriguing... Acca sellowiana -- a magnolia relative, gritty like a guava...

5:23 pm

YAY wild!!!!

5:24 pm

sounds yummy and ty

5:24 pm

"has been cultivated as far north as western Scotland" (per wikipedia)

5:25 pm

bye for now

5:25 pm

later wild

5:28 pm

I am down to 40, the show I was enjoying is done, I have one last errand to run (was hoping the kid would help me run it -- oh well) so back later! *Poof*

I have 22 left but am bailing soon.

In fact, good night!

5:54 pm

hello hello hello

5:55 pm

o dear I owe some penalty box time from a clue i gave earlier today!

5:57 pm

5:58 pm

I notice, but I'm in a forgiving mood

6:02 pm

6:08 pm

6:12 pm

HEY ALL!!! *shouting of Luwanda's blaring TV*

6:12 pm

(hi all! :o) )

6:12 pm

hi

6:14 pm

Dad drove 100 miles to exchange some space heaters knowing that there was a winter storm warning. He wouldn't listen. He keeps saying he can drive home. It will just take him longer. There's only 2 inches of ice on the roads. 3 days of telling him "NO" Argh!

did someone clue sn 9?

6:14 pm

oh no! is he okay/

6:15 pm

most like a peanuts character TO

ty

6:16 pm

evening all!

6:16 pm

oops

6:16 pm

ty, stidmama ---- my favorite character, too

6:16 pm

He's mad at me because I won't let him go. I finally show him that the surrounding counties are under alert and that he will be fined $100 if he gets stuck.

6:16 pm

hey dan! how's our lovely girl today?

6:17 pm

hi peeps!

6:17 pm

Good for you Luwanda! d*** old codger!

6:17 pm

he wants to be useful, methinks

6:17 pm

hey monkey! why are you in... um... where are you today?

hi all! jah mon, lil monkey!

6:17 pm

oh I'm in Jamaica

6:18 pm

oh. jamaica. Why jamaica? not enough rum in yorktown?

6:18 pm

I was snorkeling with Mark Jones yesterday

6:18 pm

I have actually caught him going out the door 3 or 4 times to check if the the ice was melting. I yelled at him and told him he was putting us in danger if he fell and we had to take him to the hospital and he would throw a fit if the kids wanted to drive in this mess.

6:18 pm

can you hide his shoes and blame it on the dogs??

i have to go. later, all

6:19 pm

or *wracks brain for ideas*

6:19 pm

You're right stid. Cats?

6:19 pm

If that was my dad pulling that crap, I would slam the door and lock it when he went out to "check the ice." That would be the last time he would pull crap like that.

6:19 pm

later TO (((hugs))) be warm!

6:19 pm

byeeeeeeeeeee TO

6:19 pm

can cats catch codger's clogs?

6:19 pm

maybe just hide his car keys.

6:20 pm

I gave he Lonesome Dove to read. That occupied him for a while. He's and old farmer who has taken care of everyone else for years. Stubborn to the hilt.

6:20 pm

Give him a jigsaw puzzle

6:20 pm

ah. one of "them". *considers*

6:21 pm

do you have important but nagging tasks inside that he could help with? things you have been putting off but now that he's here to help it would go easier?

6:21 pm

I think I'll have Gary put him to work in the garage tomorrow sorting wood or nuts and bolts

6:21 pm

Hi, all! Anybody need any clues?

6:21 pm

hey again sue!

6:22 pm

Maybe tell him you need an inventory of every nut and bolt in the garage

6:22 pm

guess what? in our farm box today we got REAL vanilla beans and cocoa nibs from HAWAII!!! (our farm truck people went on vacation and the farm they toured sent them samples!!!)

6:22 pm

right now he's watching wheel of fortune. Pat and Vanna are shouting at me now!

6:23 pm

Yum!

6:23 pm

I always use vanilla bean when I cook. I love the smell.

6:23 pm

oh! what's Vanna wearing today? It's not on for three hours here... yesterday her gown was the same color as the tiles!

6:23 pm

Pat and Vanna are usually nicer than that

6:23 pm

I love vanilla beans. Like to put on in the sugar bin.

6:24 pm

very cool stiddie

6:24 pm

I make my own vanilla extract from them.

6:24 pm

hey again jmc

6:25 pm

6:25 pm

hey monkey! bring me back some RUM from jamaica, and I will make up some vanilla extract!

Dan, how is Baby 2Bit? Sleeping better these nights?

6:30 pm

Last year I think they were in school until June 25 or so.

6:30 pm

hey uusue, what physics topics do you teach?

6:30 pm

6:31 pm

okay i need encouragement to send the 900+ word snarky email i spent all afternoon writing

6:32 pm

Hi, dfm, right now I am teaching the first semester of calculus physics (kinematics, dynamics) plus a one-semester conceptual physics course. Over the years I have taught pretty much the whole undergraduate curriculum. My research was in experimental high energy physics.

6:32 pm

dunno stiddie different in crowds at different schools

6:32 pm

Send it, Send it, Send it!!!

6:32 pm

they probably will think you a poser

6:32 pm

6:32 pm

Oh please. "Word up" goes back to the '90's. It's hardly a "new phrase".

6:32 pm

LOL I AM a poser!

6:33 pm

6:39 pm

*Spraying air freshener at Lil*

6:39 pm

whoo hooo big

6:39 pm

well, that should keep you busy! I did research in particle physics for many years, but now am more interested in physics education and public science literacy

6:39 pm

i will leave and i am sure that will leave you enough room good

6:39 pm

uusue2 ty got it

6:40 pm

bbl 55 left

have a sip on me jmc!

6:40 pm

GE of course your brain isn't itty bitty! :o(

6:41 pm

I had to write an essay last weekend. I have such fond memories of undergrad and grad school. Having to write an essay reminded me of what I didn't like.

6:41 pm

one nice thing about physics, no essays :-)

well perhaps when comparing the amount we actually use :D

6:42 pm

hi everyone

6:42 pm

That must be why I love math and science. That an the fact that my mom got a degree in Chemistry and Math in the 1940's

6:43 pm

Good for your mom, luwanda! Not many women studied math and science back then.

northern is again sue?

6:43 pm

Hi Mom.

6:44 pm

yes, we are closed again tomorrow. unheard of!

closed i mean. too many interuptions

6:44 pm

Hi ((Molly))

6:44 pm

She kept a college chemistry book on her bed at the nursing home. She said she wanted to keep up. It was so cute. I was teasing her and my son took her side.

10:16 pm

yeah, what jac said

10:16 pm

10:17 pm

well 8s and 9s done. but need 38 still. ugh

10:17 pm

10:19 pm

my cousins dog was named sn***er and i loved him so so much

I have 2 of my own + a stepdaughter, none are married yet, and no have children. Youngest (step) is just 16, then there's my daughter , who will be 24 in March, and son, who will be 27 in May.

10:28 pm

How did they all get so 'old'??

10:29 pm

Obviously, I've known my own two since birth, but 'step' was only 8 when I met her.

10:29 pm

Any more grid clues needed?

10:30 pm

If not, I will head off for now.

10:31 pm

10:35 pm

It means 'sprinkled', if you wanted to know.

10:36 pm

10:45 pm

10:45 pm

Okay, off now. See you all next grid.

10:45 pm

11:42 pm

Whoa I forgot to hit the add button on my last word. :P

11:43 pm

Fireworks!

11:51 pm

Hi Faux. Just read your bio. You sound like me and my 3 kids. I'm sure we'll all grow up but doubt we'll all ever fit in.

11:55 pm

BTW - I'm the Queen of Non-PC on here, since I say what I think.

11:57 pm

It's not a crown I've awarded myself, but was given to me by another Babbler who is a friend. Saying what you think does not always equal 'having a go' at someone. But most Babblers know that, I think, as does the friend who crowned me.
