each to their own i guess

12:33 am

forgot to say: hi dcseain

12:33 am

she has medical issues that contribute to her memory issues, too.

12:33 am

12:34 am

poor girl. thanks for that update dcs

12:34 am

yes, she asks for stats, and it's usually easy enough to give her one that's findable.

wtg flosey

1:19 am

wow.

1:19 am

for the first time?

yes, it was pretty cool

1:20 am

did they roast a whole pig, Dee?

yes over 200 pound pig...

1:20 am

as long as they didn't reap what they sowed

1:20 am

wow, sounds delicious

lol

1:21 am

have only seen whole lambs roasted

it was fantastic... literally fell off the bones... like North Carolina pulled pork... we have roasted turkeys for years in the fall, but never a pig... it was pretty interesting

I bet lamb would be delicious

1:23 am

it is, they use to do them at the Fall Fair

1:23 am

very late flip!

1:24 am

hi there jilli - you must have stopped to do kitchen duty before coming in

1:24 am

oops -- icon didn't change

1:24 am

hi all -- late flip for me too

1:24 am

yes I did, flosey -- and had to do the icon too

josh did you find all your c's... down to 2 left here

1:24 am

too much flipping around here right now

1:25 am

hi nan

1:26 am

there we are -- please refresh

1:26 am

hi nan

1:27 am

flosey -- great writeup and sampler.

1:28 am

thanks jilli, I've never done one but they always fascinated me

1:29 am

This one has a big variety of stitiches -- fun to learn

1:29 am

nbt

1:30 am

wow, nan -- I have zero words so far. lol!

1:30 am

mom did a lot of embroidery work so I did learn but don't see much of it anymore

someone pls clue de8/45

1:30 am

what are stitiches?

de + ae 6/18

tyvm

yqw

1:31 am

stitiches are the result of fatigue

or of laughing

1:32 am

oh..

we're all stictched up

1:32 am

i kept you in stitiches and you are exhausted?

1:33 am

you got it ru

1:33 am

a stitiche in time saves nine

1:33 am

fer sher

1:33 am

lol

1:34 am

I think I'd rather have stitiches than stapaples

1:34 am

lol

1:35 am

1:35 am

not that I know of nan

he 8 x 2; de 8; re 8; re 9

1:36 am

<---stands corrected

1:36 am

ty dee

1:36 am

good morning everybody

called early after flip ru

1:38 am

hi ruby -- I posted a picture of a jigsaw in FB -- did you see it?

1:39 am

you've got me stititches and ty for the de8! nice way to start

1:39 am

hi ruby, haven't seen you in a while

1:39 am

I will look for it later, jilli, right now I'm trying to get in a little "babble time" before the technician comes again to (hopefully) connect husband's computer

1:40 am

I was disconnected for 8 days and was only tenuously connected before that

1:40 am

terrible to be so dependent!

1:40 am

ah, glad to see you back

1:41 am

I agree, almost seems like a lifeline!

1:41 am

It's a picture of Annecy, ruby -- close to you, I think?

1:42 am

I can't wait to see it; Annecy is 10 minutes away. We're SE or it, going down the "rive est" of the lake: Veyrier du Lac if anybody has GoogleEarth

1:42 am

and this is definitely a lifeline! Although I love it here, there are NON English-speakers

1:43 am

no*

1:43 am

certainly a beautiful area, ruby!

1:44 am

maybe as beautiful as BC?

1:45 am

in a different way, ruby

1:45 am

your mountains are higher; ours only lead up to Mt Blanc, but we can only see the foothills from here

1:46 am

and we are very far from the ocean but at least have this pretty lake

1:47 am

rect

1:47 am

whoops, sorry

1:47 am

we can see the Blue Ridge mountains from where i live, little blue lumps on the Western horizon.

1:47 am

hello jilli and ruby

1:47 am

i should be asleep, but no sleep as yet for me :)

1:47 am

nbt

1:47 am

hi dc

1:47 am

go, go jilli!

1:48 am

hello seain! it is very late for you!

1:48 am

yeah, nearly 3AM

1:48 am

little blue lumps are not so bad!

1:48 am

we don't have high mountains on Salt Spring Island, although it's very hilly.

1:49 am

too hot to sleep, dc?

1:49 am

how far are you from the sea?

1:49 am

oh, no they're not. Few years ago, coworker need to get to airport, and was worried about how far it was. I took him to window and pointed out that the airport was 3 exits down the road. He was not listening, and finally asked "are those mountains?"

1:49 am

he was from TX and had never seen any type of mountain

1:49 am

the AC is working, jilli, and the worst heat broke yesterday, so happily the temp is not an issue.

1:50 am

The Chesapeake is about an hour E of here, the Atlantic is about 2.5 hours E of here on the shortest route.

1:51 am

ruby, I'm on an island, up a hill, and about 5 minutes drive from a beach.

1:51 am

the Potomac is tidal to just a bit downriver from where i live.

1:51 am

that sounds perfect, jilli. Does the ocean keep the climate temperate (I don't know if there's an equivalent of the Gulf Stream in the Pacific)

1:52 am

so the water where you are is brackish, Seain?

1:52 am

oh, no, the brackish bit ends many miles downstream from here. the river is fully fresh up this far.

1:53 am

this is a nice grid, so far -- love those ch's

1:53 am

this is a nice grid, so far -- love those ch's

1:53 am

unfortunately we don't have a Gulf Stream equivalent here -- the current is a cold one. But in usual summers we can swim in the sea when it has warmed up over the sand and rocks. Not so far this summer, though -- lousy weather.

1:54 am

not seeing those long words, so will toddle off -- getting late for me! Good night, all :)

1:55 am

g'night nan!

1:55 am

it is cold here, too, but the figs seem to love it surprisingly

1:55 am

sweet dreams, nan

fireworks

1:56 am

yay mom!

2:38 am

hi jilli, flosey et al :)

ok, have posted the biscuits to ruru, sprite and crossy... have to wait to get to peri and pida... can't find caramel at the moment

and need another dark for peri

3:13 am

good morning all

3:13 am

woot, thank you mrP!

hi sprite!! have sent you double choc... can't get white choc at the moment :) sorry !!

we get caramel and dark again next week, so can send to peri and pida

3:14 am

no problem hun, any choc is good, grin. And I LOVE to get a present.

it basically costs $10 for me to send via airmail, so not as bad as I imagined!!

3:15 am

argh, that is still a lot!

when I first looked, it looked like $85!! LOL!!!

if it was 85, you would have been left drooling sprite

3:15 am

that would have been crazy, hun

3:16 am

ah good! That is exactly what I meant.

i know! would have been better for me to get on a plane and deliver! LOL

3:16 am

well that would have been fun :D

well, ruuster and crossy will be happy too

3:17 am

absolutely. It is wonderful of you.

not at all sprite... i remember you going halvsies in comic books being sent to luke... i still send you the white timtams when they are available

3:19 am

it was my pleasure. He needed something like that.\

and he luvs it! I got him a subscription to MAD magazine for his birthday... he is addicted now!

comics are his 'thing'!

3:20 am

oh that is perfect! MAD is wonderful.

and I must say, the comic books were appreciated by both of you!! thanks again

3:21 am

no thanks needed, it really was a pleasure

we have MAD australian edition... that is the one he gets

and a friend of ours in the neighbourhood does comics for Aust MAD... it is great knowing what is coming up! LOL

3:22 am

he must be loving them

yes, he certainly does!

I have to tell you of his new project

He is doing a 'jamie oliver' for a project due on Monday

3:23 am

tell me :)

I am video taping him making a banana cream pie with caramel, from scratch!

he is going to present it to the class via video link

3:24 am

oh that is great. He is doing well, isn't he :D

we don't have banana cream pies in australia, so it will be an incredible result for him... and he is making mini pies for everyone to taste, in advance, and bring them in to present with the video

he is doing very well sprite! 2nd in the class of 130!! very well

3:25 am

yay Luke! That project is going to be a tremendous success.

he said all his other classmates are doing woodwork stuff... and he is cooking!!!

he will blow them away, cause he CAN cook!

3:27 am

I love it. Let me know how it played out!

he is making the pie crust from scratch, the egg custard and the cream will not be coming out of a can!

i will send the video sprite!!

3:27 am

oh good!

will only be available by request, so remind me when I announce the release date

please :)

3:28 am

ships, the warrior princess is not valid.

3:28 am

of course I will remind you, no trouble

xena is so a word!

i watch zena every arvo at 3pm

the kids luv it, and it is followed by hercules

3:29 am

it is. Stupid enable. *mumblemumblecrazydictionarygrumble*

grumblemumbleassholestupiddictionary !

3:30 am

*giggles*

sprite, you did see timtam in the grid yesterday, right??

3:31 am

hah of course!

hehehe! oh goodie!

so airmail is about 10 days allegedly... i have wrapped it well so it doesn't crack, i hope... and written fragile all over it

7-10 days

3:33 am

hun, in case it cracks anyway... it won't be eaten whole anyway, and it is dark where it is headed ;)

but you must experience the timtamslam!!

3:34 am

btw... yesterday's grid was hard! Really enjoyed doing it, but I was glad I am on vacation, lol. Took a long time to finish for me.

3:35 am

ok... explain to me the timtamslam!

ok, you bite a corner from the top of the timtam, turn it over and bit a corner from the bottom of the timtam... then you suck coffee through it... until it is soaked, put it in your mouth, and let it dissolve and swallow whole!

3:37 am

LOL! Ok that sounds like a must-have experience :)

i want a pic of your face when you do it!!

3:38 am

hahahaha

you will be in 'heaven'!!

3:39 am

really looking forward to it

I have requested pics from ruuster and crossy!

will put it on my international timtam wall!

3:40 am

that is going to be fun!

indeed!! i am so pleased you guys are trying it!

3:40 am

thanks to you!

oh pshaw!

i would think that texan would be accepted!

3:42 am

I tr5 that too

the te's are eluding me

tech is also a word!!

3:44 am

am not listing yet, so don't know if I have most. I have 2x7 and a couple of shorter ones

3:44 am

build on that one for 2 valid words

valid words?? in babble!?? hahahahahaha!! (at times)

I allegedly have a refs meeting... well, not going

3:45 am

---> loves babble!

3:46 am

great idea, mrP. No need to be submerged in recounting the events of last time.

sprite, it is invaluable experience and education, but not in 5 c degrees!

did you hear what the Prick did??

3:47 am

was thinking of the idiocy with the Prickdick.

he has 'abandoned' his lawyer, said he is taking advice from another lawyer and not submitted the court documents on time 'yesterday'.

so I rang his lawyer... and gave them a warning. Told them I would see them in court and made sure they understood that I would take no trickery

3:49 am

shows he is really scared for the outcome, mrP

and... the best part!!! ready????

3:50 am

go!

he is being sued for defamation... is in the process of going through court, and have started the lien so he can't get away with paying me out

3:51 am

can you explain a little bit more? How does that work with a lien?

he can bankrupt, do whatever, but he has to pay me

i have applied for a lien... whatever assets he has, they are mine should I win the case

3:52 am

ah! Good action! God I bet he is dead scared!

well, that is not what I want, but I am going to make sure he pays.

and .... ready for it???

3:53 am

you didn't want ANY of this. But since he started it, you better make sure you finish it... and him. Yes, go tell :)

his wife has left him! and taken the eldest boy with her... left the two younger with him... cause they are a lost cause

3:54 am

he had that coming. Good for her. Very sorry for the 2 younger kids though. Nobody should have a father like that.

oh no sprite, i have been through hell and back with him... there is no way he is getting away with being a bastard bully intimidator

well, he still sees the kids, but his wife has left

3:57 am

can you imagine, being married to someone who does stuff like he did to you??? Arrrgghh.

yep, and she would have caught onto this all during the last 6 months... realised his obsession with me... she didn't want him to go ahead with it, she even specifically told the lawyer that, but he continued

3:59 am

he is totally obsessed. I really hope they lock him up, he is dangerous.

yep, and a dirty crook

4:00 am

yes

4:03 am

I keep seeing 'hacienda' and it isn't even almost there.

sorry, phone and lickety out for a while... brb.. dinner on

4:11 am

bye mrP, enjoy dinner

4:17 am

hey lady :)

how you?

4:18 am

okayish. Mean head ac4 and ti5, but otherwise ok. And you?

My dinner is a total fail.

4:21 am

awww :(

THe spice on the chicken tastes like dish soap and the potato's are over cooked. More than likely it is me

4:22 am

well it happens, even to the best cooks. Make an instant soup and have some bread with it.

I may just have toast. I think my taste buds are off

4:25 am

could very well be if your hormones are active.

I just can't breath through my nose

4:27 am

do you have a cold? Then I suggest chicken soup with lots of garlic :)

The chicken is too yuck to even boil into a broth

4:34 am

poor lady :(

I wont starve I will eat ice cream

4:36 am

that is good

4:38 am

pfui 41 left and finally found an 8-word.

YAh

ok, back for the te's... even though I can't see them!!

5:16 am

I have them all, mrP, so if I can help? I need one more word, an U7.

which one... the un educator??

or the un - not attempted

5:17 am

ah, that is it, the last one

5:18 am

fireflies!

congrats sprite!

5:18 am

do you want help with the te's?

nah sprite, you go have fun... I have heaps left cause I work backwards up the alphabet

will come back to them later

5:19 am

hehehe ok have fun, it's a lovely grid.

5:19 am

bye all!

8:16 am

Hi Kat--how is your life going? (too many problems)

8:16 am

scrabbs, then you are up to date

8:17 am

I could vacation in the Adirondacks only for the rest of my life and be quite happy. That is my happy place.

8:17 am

well..there are lots of problems...but overall i guess i am good...i have a roof...family friends food so all is overall good i guess

8:18 am

Yay for gratitude, Kat.

8:18 am

nbs = no blank stats; nbt = no blank tiles. Means you have found at least one word in each category.

8:31 am

hus herin xxx

8:32 am

mmmm....rabbits...

8:32 am

wonder if i can still do this.. like riding a bike lol

8:32 am

Yep, my head is still in the mountains, lakes, rivers, ponds. It is tough to return from vacation.

8:32 am

hi there crosshair yes double rabbits

8:33 am

lol,howdy loredana,crossy is just teasing scrabby

Scrabbler how is the bunnies?

8:33 am

you always be doing that cross

8:34 am

The Adirondaks would be perfect, if it wasn't for the black flies.

8:34 am

Judi if flies bother you dont come to Aussie

8:34 am

thanks molls..ok..am off to get a few things done..toodles for a bit

Hugs Curlie

8:35 am

Do the Aussie flies bite, Lore?

8:35 am

I've had shots that hurt less than black fly bites.

8:35 am

I see phantoms everywhere in the grid

8:36 am

Sounds like you're allergic like me, Molly.

8:36 am

Last wk it was deer flies and horse flies--those bites HURT!

8:37 am

Hi Judi

8:37 am

still reckon its worth it

8:37 am

Not allergic, it's just that those suckers bite HARD

8:37 am

scrabby you must come up and explore algonquin park one time.the endless rivers for canoeing,portaging though the woods and coming across a deer lay of soft moss under the trees,exiting a river at dawn just as the mist and fog burn off a series of small lakes and a loon give a haunting cry..well the portages are not all that great but the rest is nice :))

8:38 am

the little black flies stick to you and your clothing they like to fly in your ears eyes not unheard of to swallow them as they fly in your mouth

8:38 am

Good Morning folks - got my share of fly bites of all varieties last week camping

8:38 am

Ah. Eat or be ea/5. Mmmm. Bugs.

8:38 am

we get deer flys that will take chunks out of you in july and august in certain areas

8:39 am

the only way to keep them off was to stay in the water

8:39 am

howdy riverdance

8:39 am

Time for a spot of work. BBL.

8:39 am

almost toppled the kayak a couple times with them damn deer flies attacking

RIVER

8:40 am

but it was an awesome trip

8:40 am

((Herin)) how are you

8:40 am

secret is to not smell too clean riverdance

8:40 am

and avoid bright colours like yellow

8:40 am

we were wilderness camping - only way to bathe was in the lake

8:40 am

Crossy, that description just convinced me to visit! AND...I just placed a deposit on a 16 lb, 10 ft, one-person, low-seat Hornbeck canoe! Portaging will be easy now!!

8:41 am

no pretty soap,perfume,pit grease etc

8:41 am

Hi Riverdance

8:41 am

YAA FOR SCRABBY!

8:41 am

cross made sound irrestible Scrabs

8:41 am

no pretty soap here - used the special stuff so as not to pollute the lake

8:41 am

havent seen you in a long time scrabbs - must have crossed vacations

8:42 am

one of my faves for a warm up scrabby is brain lake,15 min portage,no power boats allowed

I am so lost again. If I could be bothered getting off my butt I would go to the fridge and get Phish food

8:43 am

that is light scrabbs....our kayaks weigh much more than that

8:43 am

especially the tandem that we brought last week...didnt have room for more than one and all our other gear

8:43 am

lol@ 16 pounds..i would just stuff it in my back pack almost lol

8:44 am

right next to my gorp and apples

8:44 am

my purse probably weighs more than 16 pounds....lol

8:45 am

Oh me too River, it's embarrassing. When I went into a Federal building downtown and the security guard checked my purse he said, "What in the hell do you have in there?"

8:46 am

i could drop my wife and her purse off in the middle of algonquin and i am sure she would be fine for a week..or maybe 2

8:46 am

I have gotten that too when I have gone into the court houses for work...they are truely amazed

8:47 am

its no wonder I have a bad back....

8:48 am

lol,meanwhile give me my passport,a bible and a bottle of whiskey and my reader,a spare pair of undies and a spare pair of wooly socks and i am ready to travel the world lol

8:49 am

Check out Hornbeck Canoes @ www.hornbeckcanoes.com. Peter Hornbeck decided to start building ultralight canoes 30 yrs ago to make portaging easier. $1300 for 16 lbs vs $2500 for 32 lb Swift light kayak.

Laters all

8:50 am

Swift = Canadian kayak/canoe company.

8:50 am

tc herin

8:50 am

Bye Lady

8:50 am

we dont have pricey models like that - our kayaks are all Old Town - 1 tandem, 1 single and my husband hunting that has a very wide opening for him and the dog

8:50 am

goodnight sweet dreams herin cya take care

8:50 am

i know them well scrabby

8:50 am

bye herin - sweet dreams

8:51 am

BRB, must grab breakfast.

Night Sorry guys love to stay and chat but head is falling asleep

8:51 am

i wont be far behind you

8:51 am

they also make cedar strip boats to order,beautiful things about 6 grand for 24 footer,minus motor and transom

8:52 am

and sterring cables pullys etc are extra

8:52 am

steering*

8:53 am

very nice scrabbs

8:54 am

Sleep well.

8:54 am

River, Hornbeck makes tandem canoes--lightweight.

8:56 am

we dont get out enough to justify that cost. We had a great canadian canoe that we sold a couple years ago - thing weighed a ton. Now just have the kayaks.

8:57 am

Good morning!

8:57 am

must go for now - work is calling - nice to chat - see you all later

8:57 am

hello and goodbye for now car

8:57 am

Hi and bye River!

8:59 am

Morning Car. Feeling better?

8:59 am

Somewhat Molly. Still getting twinges of headaches and I am really tired.

9:00 am

Did they test you for mono?

9:00 am

Not that I know of. Just head MRI and CT and they had me on the heart monitor all night with blood draws every few hours to check my cardiac enzymes.

9:01 am

Too old for mono. Probably an Enteroviral infection--can cause severe headaches and even viral meningitis.

9:01 am

Hi Scrabs! The pictures from your trip are wonderful!

9:02 am

Really? I had mono in my thirties.

9:03 am

All in all they just seem to think it was a VERY atypical migraine. Need to follow up with my neurologist this week. Funny thing though, I never talked to a neurologist the entire time I was in the hospital. Hmmmm.

9:04 am

Well, by age 40 99% of people show immunity to the Epstein-Barr virus.

9:04 am

That's odd, Car.

9:04 am

Debilitating pain of any kind can leave you tired for a while. It drains you.

9:05 am

Was there for just over 24 hours. Saw DOCTORS for less then 10 minutes.

9:05 am

hi all, clue for the 9?

9:05 am

He tries to get you to join the military

9:05 am

ty

9:07 am

TY, Molly.

9:07 am

I have put all the fours to bed and now its goodnight from me take care everyone see you next time Lynda big hugs for you and the kids from us kids down under xxxx

9:08 am

That is just wrong, Car! I dislike docs that don't communicate with their patients. Grrrr.

9:08 am

good night!

9:08 am

Kiss your bunnies--from me and mine.

9:08 am

It drove me crazy Scrabs.

9:08 am

molly, was that the clue for the 9? what does it start with?

9:08 am

will do always thinking of you and the kids

9:11 am

I dislike most docs--we are supposed to care about and for the patient + family, to communicate!

9:12 am

RE Doxy

9:12 am

ty molly

9:13 am

The best patient/family care we ever got was when my Dad had bypass surgery at Walter Reed. They really addressed all of us through the whole thing. I was impressed.

9:14 am

It made me feel like I really didn't need to be there. I was very LOW priority.

9:14 am

Hi doxy.

9:14 am

hi scrabbler

9:15 am

OK, kids I must get going. I will first go to the preschool (for kids with developmental delays) where I am the medical director. Bye kids!

9:15 am

Bye Scrabs!

9:15 am

bye scrabbler. have a good day

9:16 am

That's not right Car. When you are in the hospital, you should feel cared for and important.

9:18 am

Well, that I did not.

9:19 am

They even woke me up at 6:30 to put in an IV lead for my MRI with contrast. Then they did the test without the contrast dye as it was ordered that way.

9:22 am

a hospital is not for rest.

9:23 am

definitely not.

9:24 am

OK. I have to go dig up the service number for Comcast. We have a phone line out.

9:24 am

I hope you all have a great day!

9:24 am

you too caar

9:24 am

car

9:25 am

Bye Doxy! BTW...are you planning to see the new WTP movie?

9:25 am

I can't wait to see Eeyore with Tigger stripes!

9:25 am

WTP????

9:25 am

I want to take my grandkids

9:25 am

Winnie-the-Pooh

9:26 am

Even if I didn't have kids I would still be going!

9:26 am

OK...bye again!

9:27 am

my boy loved winnie when he was young..lol...i am short round and i have found speaking poundage wise,i improve my appetite when i exercise..oh bother

9:28 am

9:35 am

9:35 am

i will just have to come and visit you for all that crossy! :))

some of the ta's are not real ... are they??

poor mrs crossy! will she be able to have surgery on the eyes??

any treatment available??

9:37 am

alas no mrp,she had both cataracts removes and now has glass lenses in her eyes and get laser surgery every 6 months or so,but it is a degenerative type of eye disease and there is no cure per se

9:38 am

hi again, everyone!

9:38 am

but she has held at 20/400 for last 4 years

oh no crossy!! what is her prognosis??

9:38 am

so we thank god for the small victories

hi usue :)

9:38 am

howdy sue

9:38 am

hi, mrp and crossy!

9:38 am

hi sue

i keep typing 'redirect'... darn it!

hi doxy :))

9:39 am

she may hold at 20/400 with constant care and laser surgery or she may be reduced to nothing but a blur in a week,it is one day at a time

9:39 am

20/400 is about what I am without my glasses - blurry but I can get around, mostly - wouldn't want to be that way all the time, though, and I can see things that are very close perfectly clearly

9:39 am

hi, doxy!

9:40 am

indeed sue,her sony e-reader is a godsend

9:40 am

before that,she had been ten years without rading her books

poor lady... glad she is getting it attended to and able to function still... but what you describe is scary! I pray for her eyesight!

9:41 am

I would hate not to be able to read!!

9:41 am

20/400 is the top letter on the eye chart..nothing else

wow... I am third line

in the left eye

9:43 am

how well I know, crossy - actually my left eye is even worse than that, but I know the top letter is always an E :-) but my eyesight is perfectly correctable so not a problem

9:43 am

that is why i take her for drives on the hills,walks in the woods,every wekk,i show her as much of nature and the beauty of the world as i can so she will remember,and if a time comes when she is no longer able,then i will be there to describe it to her and she will with my help see it in her minds eye

you are a beautiful person crossy... just beautiful

9:43 am

crossy, you have said that before, and it always makes me cry - you are so sweet!

and mrs crossy is deserving of you

9:44 am

crossy, you are one in a million. Not every hubby would do that for their sweetheart

9:45 am

sorry ladies,did not mean to upset you all,it is just a small thing i can do for my beloved

9:45 am

not upset, just so touched by your love

9:47 am

re's done

9:47 am

reminded me,this evening is a walkabout night:) will pack some cheese and crackers and some sparkling apple juice and see what there is to see

9:52 am

((sue)) {{molly}}

9:52 am

I've never had Tecate Sue, is it good?

9:52 am

it is sunny and nice here, ruby! this is good!

9:53 am

i pop on and off all day long, if not out doing somehting with the boys...

9:53 am

it's a light beer, molly, and i prefer dark beers, but for a light beer it is good (and by light I mean light in color, not "lite")

9:53 am

it is often served with a wedge of lime

9:54 am

texan is not an acceptable word??

9:54 am

is crossy still here? he is a wonderful guy (but he'll get stuck up if you tell him I said so) hahah

9:54 am

proper noun, lisa

9:54 am

I would probably like it then. I prefer lighter beers over the darker ones.

9:55 am

oohhh...well that figures

9:55 am

I like Guinness and dark brown Trappist beers

9:55 am

hello LisaG

9:55 am

Warm or cold Guinness?

9:55 am

tepid, I'm afraid,

9:55 am

hello rubyfoo :)

9:56 am

I've only been to one Irish pub that asks what temperature you want your Guinness. I was impressed.

9:56 am

when I nursed my son, in the good old days, his pediatrician had me drink a pint of it every day to make milk! And boy, did that baby sleep

9:56 am

(((RUBY)))

9:56 am

{{crossy}}

9:56 am

Aye, he was a good Irish doc I presume. : )

Don't you hate it when that happens?

10:39 am

10:39 am

10:39 am

Yes, losing your frontal lobe. It's so annoying. : P

I looked for it for a while but gave up after a while

10:40 am

lol molly

10:40 am

yes officer... I was wondering if a frontal lobe was turned in?

10:41 am

my da said some thing once.." do not worry about losing your mind,cause if it ever happens,you will not know it"

10:41 am

Someone probably stole it, and tried to cram it in with their own frontal lobe, to be extra smart. Maybe the guy down the street with the big forehead.

10:42 am

HOLY CRAP

11:30 am

That is a bean dip for those of you not hip to Carlee's cooking habits.

11:30 am

... or intrusive begging for money calls from ancient undergrad university at dinner time

11:30 am

and they are so rude when you tell them you are not interested. idiots

11:30 am

the storm..whose pics i took the other day ( on fb ).....we it spawned an F2 tornado

11:32 am

11:32 am

Oh here's a headline...Norway mass killer likely 'insane,' lawyer says...YA THINK?

I like bean dips..I love Hummus. Carlee, sociopaths are almost always very lucid.

i ask,if i can call them bak the next night at thier home and discuss this amazing product

11:33 am

... I hang up during the dead air pause while the auto dialer goes to tell the agent that some one has answered the phone ...

11:34 am

I almost never answer my phone. I let the machine pick it up. If it's someone I want to talk to, I get it. If not, I don't.

11:41 am

... yeah ... but any charity or any business that you've had dealings with can still call ... ... and the CRTC isn't enforcing the "no call" ... so the worst offenders are all back calling

11:42 am

or say to them"send all the info you have on this product right away!" and when you get it,send it back...postage due

11:43 am

or you know those 3rd class bulk return envelopes they give you? just wrap it round a brick and mail it

... I checked a dictionary ... it means to cause to forget ... ... you're right ... it sounds dumb ... ... but to re te5/14 can often mean to do the same stuff over again ... even in the same way ... rather than to correct mislearning ... so someone probably has a use for the word

11:57 am

.. te 6/24 ... a person answer the phone on the computer help line

11:57 am

hi all -- got called away (hubby working on honey do list)

11:58 am

oh come on

11:58 am

thanks dos

11:58 am

hmmm - homeschoolers have a concept called unschooling - this is when you don't have a curriculum, you just experience the world and find teachable moments as you do it (worked for my son for a year after he'd been traumatized by traditional schools but I don't know if I'd recommend it for everyone)

11:58 am

.. you mean guys can do that too? ... oh wow ... will have to remember that

12:00 pm

... uusue ... have you ever found homeschooling to really work in a case where the parent wasn't a teacher?

12:00 pm

(however the un7 word in the grid is a different matter)

12:01 pm

I haven't done a study of it, dos, but having a parent who is a teacher, or at least highly educated, certainly helps

12:02 pm

my son's problem was that he was extremely gifted in some areas (was reading at a 7th grade level in 1st grade) but not in others (math), and the regular schools didn't know what to do with him; they were starting to label him ADD because he was bored all the time

12:03 pm

... I just keep coming across kids who are really nice kids ... and are even quite bright ... but they end up having concentrated on the one subject that the parent knows something about ... and nothing about the other eight courses on the curriculum

12:03 pm

so I was kind of frantic :-) I can tell you that trying to homeschool a kid when you are a single mom and working full time is not a good idea

12:04 pm

well, with my son we traveled a lot, so I would have him read up on the history and cultural geography of the places we were visiting; we did also do a lot of science but he was already a voracious reader and would read just about anything on his own

12:04 pm

mostly what I did was try to keep out of his way :-)

12:04 pm

... yes ... your son's case is a difficult one ... my nephew is similar ... but my sister doesn't know the first thing about education ... she just thinks she does ... and now she has a twelve year old operating at a grade 2 level ... and the schools don't know what to do with him

12:05 pm

i friend of mine did homeschooling and when my kids were young i homeschooled through the summer...

12:05 pm

after a year of unschooling (with a teenager who had been homeschooled herself) he went from reading at a 7th grade level to reading at an 11th grade level - he was about to start the 4th grade at that time

12:05 pm

we did a combination of both... unschooling and a formal lesson

12:06 pm

I did find a private (day) school for gifted kids about an hour from here, and he went there for three years - they taught the kids at their own level in each class - it was wonderful for him

12:06 pm

i kept my kids on a schedule during the summer.....early morning swimming lessons..then home for 2 hours of school work...mostly reading skills then..by 10 am... thye could do what they wanted

12:06 pm

but it was an hour away so we moved and I commuted

12:07 pm

( favourite thing wee did was make a sun oven ( i forget now proper term...) and there was a solar eclipse so we watched with the pin hole box

12:07 pm

after that he was back in the regular schools and was not particularly successful - he is finally finding himself now, though

12:07 pm

solar oven is what we usually call them, carlee

12:08 pm

i did themes for a week...

12:08 pm

there u go..solar oven...baked a ham in it

12:08 pm

and made sun tea

12:08 pm

... doing it in the summer is one thing ... but I've had a student return from a two year trip around the world ... who gained a lot from the world experience ..... but when she returned to school she had the knowledge suitable for grade 10 ... but she didn't have the foggiest idea about how to do school work ... and her knowledge tended to be on the neat things ... not on the principles that let you learn more neat things ...

12:08 pm

make ice cream in a bag

12:09 pm

... yeah ... my nephew will need something like that

12:09 pm

.. thansk

12:09 pm

unfortunately every kid is different, and the schools tend to treat them as if they were all the same - works for some of them but not for others

12:10 pm

i more wanted them to maintain a schedule... and...enjoy the process of learning... that learning is not just a chalkboard and a teacher...but is experiencing stuffs

12:11 pm

cr 7, please? cr 7, please?

12:15 pm

Inset a consonant in the middle of the cr/6

here is a video of the tornado that passed through my parts on the weekend

12:25 pm

Sue, they tried to pin ADD on my oldest too. Same deal, he was gifted and bored.

12:30 pm

pretty sad when all they have to offer bored gifted kids is an ADD label :-(

12:31 pm

re:add ,adhd..they would not let my son into grade one and the public school system unless i drugged him..was a long hard fight and he was diagnosed with adhd,is off that evil ritalin after i threatened to take the public school he went to to court for endangering my son,got him on addral gave him losts to do,and now my son who they called "unteachable" is in grade 11 and pulling a 90 percentile in auto mechanics and was advised to take advanced classes by his shop techer and will be doing co-op work this summer and will graduate at the end of next year:))

12:32 pm

good for him, crossy!

12:32 pm

I think there has been a move away from that. But back when my 31-year-old was six or seven, all the boys who acted "bored" or "restless", well they tried to tag them with ADD. Didn't work with my son.

12:33 pm

well, it was still happening to my son as recently as 8 or 9 years ago

12:33 pm

hello again

12:33 pm

hi, ruby!

12:33 pm

wb ((RUBY))

12:34 pm

speaking as a teacher of the gifted and a parent of a gifted highly active son - it is very difficult to accurately differentiate between ADD and gifted. Characteristic of gifted - high energy activity level, jump for one topic to another, have difficulty finishing projects. Need to get them tested (both IQ and achievement) and then work with schools to get right services. Many states gifted is under special ed and you can require approriate services provided

12:35 pm

not in Illinois, unfortunately - no services for gifted students are required

12:35 pm

college will be good for my boy,he can focus and be more specialized in his courses and do what he excells at

12:36 pm

and used netbooks,tablets etc as he needs to for classes,and not have some draconian high scool dictate when he can and cannot use it for school work

12:37 pm

i mean instead of a netbook or even a typewriter,they have someone who write for him! i mean the child can type 50 wpm for god sakes

12:39 pm

the nerves in my fingertips are dead from chemo..i also can no longer write,but can hunt and peck with the best! lol

12:39 pm

my son's 2nd grade teacher thought he couldn't do math because he would sit without writing on his paper - turned out he was doing all the problems in his head first, because writing was hard for him (the math was easy, he just wanted to make sure he had it right before going to the trouble of trying to write it down)

12:39 pm

just read through the chog -- no clues but VERY interesting

12:39 pm

lol, ruby, it's been one of those times in the chog where you wound't know there was a grid :-)

12:40 pm

now that is neat sue..that he had the answers in his head

12:40 pm

grid? what grid?

12:41 pm

what is this grid you speak of?

12:41 pm

I wasn't impressed that the teacher didn't realize it, though - this was a private school with small classes (I'd pulled him out of public school already, and pulled him out of the private school too after that - he told me he thought he was never going to get past 2nd grade as it would take him too long to do all the writing)

12:42 pm

re 8, please?

12:42 pm

my sons writing will never get above the 3rd grade level in form and neatness

12:42 pm

to make again, nan

12:42 pm

to make again cybernan

12:42 pm

but he can type and is gifed with his hands and machines

12:42 pm

ty sue and firefly

12:43 pm

does anybody else remember penmanship class and having to write in the Palmer method? And as a leftie I was hopeless

12:43 pm

my son's writing isn't great either, but who writes any more anyway?

12:43 pm

no one writes....no assignments are ever turned in handwritten

12:43 pm

My favorite story about dyslexia is about my brother-in-law, when he was about 8. He brought home a math test with a big F on it. All the answers marked INCORRECT!!! Turns out,they were all correct, just backward. If the answer was 18, he wrote 81...etc. His mother had a few choice words for the teacher.

12:43 pm

oh, I hated penmanship! Got very poor grades in it, particularly from my 4th grade teacher, who hated me

12:44 pm

lol,ruby,i never learned palmer,but the long slanted script instead..sad i can no longer feel a pen with my fingers

12:44 pm

my dad ended his teaching career in special ed he told me once he had a student who wrote everything upside down and backwards...ifyou flipped the page u could read it perfectly

12:45 pm

we still had sewing and I had a lot of trouble with that. My sewing teacher hated me but probably because I was smarter than she and she knew my IQ and grades

12:45 pm

if u sat opposite him at the desk..you could read as he was writing

12:45 pm

that i s wild, carlee!

12:45 pm

... I'll estimate that most high schools students today cannot write cursively ... how they'll sign a cheque I don't know ... ... they can print ... and they can type

12:45 pm

cannot even remember the name of that script

runt is not a word either?

12:46 pm

... yes it is

12:46 pm

it is, kap, try again :-)

12:46 pm

I think a lot of lefties can write backwards. I once free-lanced a Hannukah card for a local rabbi and I found it very easy to copy the Hebrew even though I had never looked at it before. Everything went in the right direction, for once

12:46 pm

cursive was considered "ladies" handwriting lol

OK back in the PB for a typo.

12:47 pm

my dad is a leftie and always complains about how unfair the world is to lefties :-)

12:47 pm

ty kap, I needed that fish

12:47 pm

alright, what's the 9?

12:47 pm

even the languages are biased against lefties - sinister, gauche, etc

Much obliged.

12:48 pm

but 40% of artists are left-handed including Leonardo (who wrote backwards) and Michaelangelo

12:48 pm

... then he should do just fine at babble ... ... I find that 75% of the words I miss are words going basically from right to left

Lefty pinko.

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

Jimi Hendrix was and Paul McCartney is, but not so many musicians

12:49 pm

thx ruby!

12:49 pm

when I was growing up, in my immediate family (and grands, aunts, and uncles on my mom's side) all the men were lefties and all the women were righties. I just assumed that was the way it was supposed to be :-)

12:50 pm

I wish we all lived closer; this group would make a great party!

Or not.

12:50 pm

over half now, but need NBT - what's the upper left hand corner N word??

12:50 pm

that is interesting, sue. In my family, in 9 sets of cousins (both sides), the 2nd-born was left-handed.

12:50 pm

wouldn't we, ruby? it would be great!

12:50 pm

words that start with vowels are my nemesis

12:50 pm

like a geek but with a different vowel, firefly

12:50 pm

sounds like computer geek

12:50 pm

... nu4 ... whe

hmmm. my sister was left handed, played the violin but just learned to do it right handed since it's too much trouble to get a lefthanded violin. Plus in the orchestra you'd poke your neighbor with the bow.

12:51 pm

ruby - wow! crossy - me too

12:51 pm

nu 4/6 - like the ne 4/5 but change vowel

So there might be a lot of them who aren't obvious.

12:51 pm

thx sue and ruby

12:51 pm

and thx wvteach

12:51 pm

and doseffing also

12:51 pm

my husband, who is brilliant and left-handed and old, was told that he wouldn't graduate from high school if he didn't use his right hand

12:52 pm

to write

12:52 pm

my grandfather, who was born around 1895, wrote with his right hand because they insisted on it in school - he did that until the end of his life but always ate and did everything else left-handed

12:52 pm

This group would make a good party. And think of the food we would bring! : )

12:52 pm

my wife used to get the ruler across the knuckles if caught using her left hand to write

12:52 pm

and the drink!

12:52 pm

... been there

12:53 pm

I was happy the first time I came to France and found that everybody ate left-handed, no switching of the forks like Americans

12:53 pm

when my son was a baby I was careful to put things in front of him so they were in the middle - didn't want to bias him to either side

12:53 pm

As I recall, nuns were very handy with the rulers.

12:53 pm

sue, don't you think it's pre-determined?

12:54 pm

ta 6, please?

12:54 pm

I think it's predetermined Ruby.

12:54 pm

i hold my cutlery in whatever hand i like,if it is not up to snuff for some blue blood..too bad

12:54 pm

I do, I just didn't want to assume which it was - I waited for him to show me by the way he picked things up

12:54 pm

... but it made some sense ... you were using a fountain pen with liquid ink ... if you wrote with your left hand you dragged your arm through the writing or were pushing the pen ... both prone to making a mess

12:54 pm

I joined a FB site of my home town and didn't know any of the people, but many of the women talked about the nuns hitting them....

12:54 pm

ta6...darkened skin color + the *** room is where you relax and play games

12:55 pm

I forgot that babblet, ty molly!

12:55 pm

ty molly -- never remember that one!

12:55 pm

my linieage goes back farther than many..so i do not care if someones who,s da came over on the nina gets bent out of shape lool

12:55 pm

when I was still drawing in ink I worked from right to left so I wouldn't smudge

12:55 pm

I don't either Nan. I just start trying different words, that one comes up a winner, and I think "oh yeah".

12:56 pm

I don't care about lineage, I figure if I am eating without making a mess, whose business is it how I hold my cutlery?

12:56 pm

true sue

12:57 pm

I draw the line at licking the knife!

12:57 pm

pluse where would the modern world be without the spork?

12:57 pm

only at home, ruby! :-)

12:58 pm

many people do it here. Aren't they afraid of slitting their tongues?

12:58 pm

Licking a knife is just plain gross.

12:58 pm

plus you have not lived till you eat something with a pointed stick,that only ten minutes before was trying to take a bite out of you!

12:58 pm

we once had a dinner guest do it (she wasn't invited back)

12:59 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

12:59 pm

yaa for cybernan!

12:59 pm

yay, nan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:59 pm

yay nan!

1:01 pm

we lefties have to stick together in a right-handed world!

1:01 pm

and sit at the ends of the table

1:02 pm

How time changes though -- both my mother-in-law and my uncle were made to switch hands at school.

1:02 pm

yes, with the mix of lefties and righties in my family, table seating was a major issue!

1:02 pm

my family was so big that all the lefty cousins could make a table

1:03 pm

The first pen I was given at school was a straight pen --- smudged everything and the inkwell was on the upper right-hand corner of the desk. I finally got a teacher who handed me a ball-point, but the early ones of those smudged too.

1:04 pm

my favorite drawing medium was India ink which never dries

1:04 pm

I used to use steel pens

1:04 pm

Just think -- 100 years ago, Prince William would never have been allowed to be king!!!

1:05 pm

Well .... maybe a little further back than that!

1:07 pm

anyone want clues before I leave?

1:08 pm

back in a mo *poof*

6:40 pm

i KNOW i'll like this one!

6:40 pm

Ty Dorens!

6:41 pm

I am OK, Sue. Today a little shaky, but doing OK. See my neurologist tomorrow.

6:41 pm

are you feeling better?

6:41 pm

what's up car.

6:41 pm

I feel wiped out! But yes, no more numbness or horrible headach or ear pain.

6:42 pm

I spent an overnight in the hospital Dorens.

6:42 pm

sorry to hear that. my exhusband is a wonderful neurologist (but was a lousy husand)

6:42 pm

My neurologist's office was BS when they found out no one from Neurology was called in on a consult.

6:43 pm

Oh boy. Sorry to hear THAT Dorens.

6:43 pm

nah, it's ok. been divorced for long enough that we are now friends

6:44 pm

How do you do that? Been divorced 25 yrs and still hate the sucker!

6:45 pm

oh my hoot...it just took such a long time, and a lot of soul searching and self-awareness, and kids getting married, graduating, grandkids born. the last was what actually did it.

6:45 pm

any help with the ne6/21 cannot monkey it thank you

6:45 pm

+ he was pretty helpful to me when my dad moved in here with terminal cancer... he kind of greased some of the wheels making it a lot easier

6:46 pm

sweet stuff from a flower, speed

6:46 pm

speed freak, ambrosia and ne****

6:46 pm

well as far as I know my ex has no idea our son is married and has 2 kids. So you can see the feeling is mutual.

6:47 pm

your ex probably isn't a great neurologist either. and not a very nice person.

6:47 pm

thank you dorens that should have been easy

6:47 pm

and car thank you

6:47 pm

Wow, Hoot. That is a shame. Life is too short.

6:47 pm

right on both. we don't miss him

6:48 pm

understood. i have a good friend whose kids don't want their dad to know where they live, changed their last names, etc. for good reason

6:48 pm

that is sad, hoot! my son's dad is a loser in many ways but at least they are in touch (at least as much as my son can stand to be around him!)

6:48 pm

Exactly car. To short to put up with anymore of his greed, abusiveness etc, etc, ansd so forth

6:50 pm

I was the good mother and never said anything against him. He lived with him for about 2 years and then showed up on my doorstep asking if he could move in. He never went back.

6:50 pm

he being my son

6:52 pm

He does want to visit with my exes family but living in PA and money tight he doesn't get to the Island much.

6:54 pm

enough of this - down to 11 and gonna take a break. Pain in the butt Comcast is still trying to fix whatever screws up our TVs and I have no idea if they are gone or not!

6:54 pm

Good grief! They are coming here tomorrow for the phone!

6:54 pm

Mr Pres you know the Tv show the Block?

10:43 pm

yep, saw a little of it

You know Josh and Jenna?

10:46 pm

not really, what happened?

Well the couple any way. They have actually been abused in the street due to CHanel 9's manipulation of editing

10:47 pm

that's terrible!

10:48 pm

did ninemsn make them look bad??

It is fairly wrong that people are that mean and it is a known fact that they have mashed editing together. Yes they just seem to harp on the fact they are young normal couple in a high stress situation and she is a bit bossy
