1:02 am

you can do this grid all the way dee

1:02 am

no weird words at all

good to know

1:03 am

this grid contains a Scots word for marsh - merse - which it steadfastly rejects - must be the only Scots/border/esoteric dialect word not in Enable

1:03 am

lol, scouser. you think?

1:04 am

but it will take crap in french scouser. :D

1:05 am

a good knowledge of border Scots certainly helps to do the grids. Yes ru I was surprised at that - this grid has biblical verb for it

1:07 am

good night everyone .. have fun with the grid..

1:07 am

Night Ru :)

gn ru!

down to 7 :)

1:07 am

I guess Enable is founded on Burns, Shakespeare, a fairly modern Bible, and Websters

1:34 am

np's scouser.

1:34 am

We've got guests - son and girlfriend of friends from UK. They're sitting in the other room with their iPads / phones and we're in here on our computers! That's the world today! Still we had a lovely day at Byron and avoided the worst of the rain!

1:35 am

btw, scouser, friend of mine is heading your way soon. she has just had her 5 year working visa granted. not sure when, though.

1:36 am

aren't they exhausted, liz??

1:36 am

May I please have a clue for te6-18 the 3rd? Thanks

1:37 am

No! They've been in Aus since last week and were in Singapore a couple of days before that!

They arrived here on Sunday - been in Sydney before and then a wedding in Canberra.

1:38 am

congrats Dee :)

ty vm!!

1:39 am

They leave tomorrow then in a couple of weeks, friends from vancouver arrive! Busy life here!

1:39 am

ahhhh, so.....and just where are you trundling th4 off to next, liz?

1:39 am

We off to the Rockies and Alaska much later in the year.

well off til the flip; poofing with hugs!!!

1:40 am

Sleep well Dee :)

1:40 am

good grief, liz. an endless round of entertainment...

1:40 am

sleep well, dearest dee.and awake refreshed.

ty both!! HUGS!!!~

1:40 am

Sure is! Busy year - been with hubby for 10 years, married for 5, citizenship and hit the big 6 in Dec!

1:41 am

ooh, liz. have you been in touch with flosey and jilli?

1:42 am

We're not going to have spare time, unfortunately. We've done something so unlike us and booked a tour! Totally time filled - also meeting with cousins in Vancouver and friends who're coming here. Next time though, I hope!

1:42 am

aah, liz....9 months younger than i...don't forget to apply for your senior's card...lol

1:43 am

Will do Rose! Hubby got his last year!

1:44 am

Sad that prob won't meet Flosey and Jilli - if I have any time (though I'm sure I won't) I will contact them - but not publicly! We're both very suspicious and untrusting of open sites!

1:44 am

such a buzz, liz. down here they are pretty lax. seniors meals are smaller, granted, but very cost-effective

1:44 am

Have used hubby's card at cinema etc!

1:45 am

awww, liz! jilli is such a buzz

1:45 am

I love the chats I've had but this was all booked a very long time ago - before I babbled!

1:46 am

i email jilli and rubyfoo regularly. also sarah and dee. they are such wonderful peeps.

1:47 am

not too late, hun.

1:47 am

Yes, I agree. I really like most people I chat to here! It's a really friendly site. I missed out on all the nastiness before my time!

1:48 am

and i didn't mention neil and ruru. brilliant peeps to correspond with. and what about moi??

1:49 am

I agree again - all of you! Everyone I chat to is really lovely - - actually too many to mention!

1:50 am

lol, so agree.

1:50 am

The time zones make it really interesting. Different people online at different times and because QLD doesn't change its clocks, that's meant I've seen some other people too!

1:51 am

Actually, Rose, you were one of the first really friendly people that chatted to me!

1:52 am

hi guys and hi other aussies

1:52 am

Hi sandy :)

1:52 am

1:56 am

jenny, french word for "to come in " + french word for " cat "

1:56 am

2:04 am

hubby get off work and 1 and wakes me up, if I've been able to get to sleep.

2:04 am

Gran, you know I love Tassie, I would love to go again, the restaurants are fantastic

2:04 am

I sometimes miss the green of England - it's different from the green here. Love going back and visiting but there's also so much here to see. Much more moderate climate usually here in S Queensland!

2:04 am

but I'm somewhat of a night owl myself.

2:04 am

BBL - enjoy yourselves :)

2:05 am

We go to bed when the sun goes down here and get up with the sun! That's farm life

Tigers, leopards, and jaguars love Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men. The scent is used to attract animals to cameras in the wilderness. ladies: this is also a good way to get rid of a nasty hubby.."hey,dear,wear more of that cologne,you know how it turns me on.where we going? oh just to the african lion safari for the day"

8:53 am

I think Babble is exploding!

8:54 am

Interesting, Crossy.

8:56 am

I believe it, Zoom

8:56 am

smores, don't worry, that was just babble chog being temperamental.

8:56 am

not your fault smores

8:57 am

Whats happening with babble latley..has been going very slow and hiccuppy.

8:57 am

Very weird though...I've had it double and one triple but never do that

8:57 am

don't know, zooz. It usually acts up a bit with big grids. But this is not so big and very buggy.

8:58 am

Hate to think what it was like with the 700 word grid last year then..lol

8:58 am

i have told dr_g not to put his gin and tonic glass on top of the server tower.the boy gets tipsy and before you know it we have a wet tower

8:59 am

ahh yes,the legendary 744.many of us are still recovering from that

8:59 am

a bit slow, zooz, but not too bad, actually. Very nice day to play, that one... great chat.

9:00 am

hahahahahahahahaha crossy! i never saw the big one

9:00 am

I still need to make me that T-shirt

9:00 am

Would love to do a grid that size.

9:00 am

9:01 am

was just every word you know with every ending possible

9:01 am

lol..i bet.

9:01 am

lol...so don't bother looking at the grid, just start typing eh?

9:02 am

close, smores, LOL

9:02 am

find a word then try plural,ing,ers,oid,oids,ers,iies,ise,a\ne,ea,oae,tia,ing,etc

9:02 am

It was April 21, 2012 if you want to get it out of archives and do it by hand.

9:02 am

9:02 am

crossy, you nitwit, there you go messing up the chat :D

9:03 am

The lickety clue page must of been massively long that day..lol

9:03 am

9:04 am

Thanks, Molly..next time there is a grid size of 20 or so i might just do that.

9:04 am

weird...no one posted a url

9:04 am

crossy posted a sentence without spaces, smores

9:04 am

huh,never knew that sets it off as well

9:05 am

9:17 am

I think she is a great singer.

9:17 am

she is, zooz, but she does so much of that technical stuff, with vibratos etc, that I lose track of the song.

9:18 am

do not get me wrong.i love a few of her songs,but after a while it is like a dentist drill going at full speed

9:18 am

lol

9:19 am

lol

9:19 am

a dentist drill with a tremelo dial set halfway

9:19 am

Okay, kitties are happy and I got another cup of coffee....mmm

9:31 am

9:31 am

me too

9:35 am

lots of red boxes!

9:37 am

hi again. What happened before? At 7:07 (babble time), red boxes appeared and it all imploded!

9:40 am

<-- has never heard Celine Dion

9:40 am

Hi ruby {hugs}

9:41 am

{{smores}}

9:41 am

hiya back again, red boxes of doom

9:41 am

dinner is cooking and I'm having a gin

9:41 am

hi ruby :)

9:41 am

hi ruby

9:41 am

{{sprite}} thank you for your letter

9:42 am

good girl, relax time :) And you are very welcome.

9:42 am

(but not a Genever)

9:42 am

Hehe, I am finishing breakfast

9:42 am

ruby, I will bring you another bottle when I come back. We should start planning again, don't you think?

9:43 am

I made Burt's spicy chicken and will have pasta carbonara with the extra pasta

9:43 am

his spicy chicken is too hot for anybody else!

9:43 am

oooo spicy chicken! I love that.

9:43 am

smores, funny isn't it, with all those time zones :)

9:43 am

:) yes, yes it is

9:44 am

it is so hot that our old boy, Rufus, used to run out the door when I'd make it because he couldn't stand the fumes!

9:44 am

wow... I worked neatly today. Am left with only Ts and Ss :)

9:44 am

wow that is really hot. Too hot for me, I think.

9:44 am

lol...wow ruby

9:44 am

what's funny is that Burt grew up in a house where his mother used NO seasonings, probably not even salt

9:45 am

that is really bland eating. I can imagine he needed to compensate.

9:45 am

and they used to make him sit there until bedtime with a plate of cold, unseasoned cauliflower

9:45 am

wouldn't he get enough salt from your personality ruby?

9:45 am

ugh...

9:45 am

but I think his taste buds are totally burned out and his food has to be way over the top now

9:45 am

lol hi ruru

9:45 am

ya think, ruru?

9:46 am

my parents did the same with me, ruby. Endless sitting with the cold plate.

9:46 am

hiya ruru :)

9:46 am

I think I've become pretty bland in my old age lol

9:46 am

hi sprite, ruby, and smores

9:46 am

no ruby helps him avoid sweets :)

9:47 am

I was lucky, my mother was too busy to care what (or if) I ate. And we ate in restaurants a couple of times a week because my mother worked

9:47 am

Burt doesn't need help for that. He has decided not to eat sweets and he doesn't.

9:47 am

hi ruru

9:47 am

My mom would sometimes do that, but she was an excellent cook at least

9:47 am

I was really a lucky kid

9:47 am

good morning medusa

9:47 am

I cooked for myself as a kid

9:47 am

my mother worked too, and I cooked. My mother wasn't a good cook at all. I am though.

9:47 am

hello medusa; we are talking about food, as usual

9:48 am

why was that, ruru?

9:48 am

lol. hi ruby

9:48 am

next time you come here, sprite, I am going to taste your cooking!

9:48 am

i keep zoning in and out of chat! lol

9:48 am

oh cool! I'll make sure to bring a recipe or two then.

9:48 am

oops. pb for me!

9:48 am

we are all cringing from the red boxes of doom

9:48 am

My mom did most the cooking but made sure we all learned how

9:48 am

hehehe hard to avoid that one, medusa

9:49 am

had lots of them!

9:49 am

still some coffee in there medusa :)

9:49 am

I discovered Rijstafel the first time in Amsterdam and "adopted" some of the side dishes for my Indian cooking. That was in the old days (lol) when I was an ambitious cook

9:49 am

red boxes that is

9:49 am

yes, the chog is misbehaving today. More than the participants. I prefer the ot5 way around.

9:49 am

my parents weren't home that much sprite.. we sort of had to fend for ourselves

9:50 am

ah yes, Rijsttafel. Actually Indonesian. But very much integrated into dutch cooking now.

9:50 am

:) sprite

9:50 am

when I got married, still living at home until then, I didn't know how to cook an egg

9:50 am

am sorry to hear that, ruru. But I bet you are a great cook.

9:50 am

lol...ruby

9:51 am

I learned how to cook, dinner by dinner, as I was a (very young) faculty wife

9:51 am

I am a really good cook.. that's for sure.. I can't repair anything.. but I can cook well.

9:51 am

I was a very good cook for a long time, but not any more. Too tired now

9:52 am

now, I'm better at repairing stuff

9:52 am

cooking is more important, ruru. Much more!

9:52 am

When I was a teen, she made me resposible for at least 2 dinners a week.

9:52 am

(I am sure that ruru is my doppelganger!)

9:52 am

:)

9:52 am

<-- loves ruru

9:53 am

:D

9:53 am

agree with sprite, I can handle stuff being broke better than being hungry :)

9:53 am

I did 5 from the time I was 8. Still hate cooking with a vengence, unless it is very relaxed and incidental.

9:53 am

ruru rocks. Big time.

9:53 am

the most fun is having a girlfriend in the kitchen and drinking and cooking together. My kitchen was designed for that!

9:54 am

I enjoy it most of the time

9:54 am

sounds nice ruby

9:54 am

my biggest problem is that i love my nedlework!

9:54 am

it is, ruby! I am looking forward to sitting there again. And helping out with cutting and cleaning.

9:54 am

why is that a problem medusa?

9:55 am

lol medusa, that is no problem. Needlework is lovely. Only thing is, you can't eat it ;)

9:55 am

coz i do it most of the time! lol

9:55 am

LOL

9:55 am

I loved cooking and entertaining, but have gotten tired of it in the last 8 years or so. My "best" was a buffet Indian dinner for 12, breads, desserts and everything, "hausegemachte" in Princeton

9:55 am

when you're not babbling of course :)

9:56 am

exactly sprite! when i get into a project i forget everything including to eat!

9:56 am

grin... what's for dinner today, hun? - well.... errr.... cross stitched cauliflower.

9:56 am

medusa, I can see how that may be a problem. But isn't it a wonderful feeling, to be caught up in a project?

9:56 am

lmao! thats about right sprite. i even knit while i am chatting online and stuff!

9:57 am

:D

9:57 am

Medusa: you're not so far away: you come here and teach me your crafts and I'll cook you some spicy chicken! lol

9:58 am

it is a great feeling sprite. thing is i have ocd and panic attacks so it is when i finish a project i get that sense of achievement from it

9:58 am

Many years ago, when I lived in London (my son was 4) and I spent a lot of time in the playground, crocheting freehand, an Indian woman said "The reason you are doing that so badly is that you are doing it with the wrong had!"

9:58 am

now that would be great if i had a passport ruby!

9:58 am

I can relate, medusa. *hugs*

9:59 am

lol ruby!

9:59 am

lol ruby

9:59 am

does one need a passport within the EU?

9:59 am

thanks sprite. i am just addicted to needlework and reading! lol

9:59 am

?what? ruby, that's crazy

9:59 am

same here, lol. Very much so.

9:59 am

I learned to knit with a right-handed person sitting in front of me

10:00 am

are you a leftie ruby?

10:00 am

I guess you can't be left-handed in India

10:00 am

i would need one to get to france ruby

10:00 am

In every sense, smores! lol

10:00 am

yes ruby, we do. We are supposed to carry a passport with us when we go abroad. Most borders there is no checking though.

10:00 am

my nan taught me to knit when i was about 5 and i have never stopped

10:01 am

Me too, ruby :D

10:01 am

but to cross the Channel, we absolutely need one

10:01 am

Once, when I was in Casablanca (on one of my "adventures"), I went to a dinner party and ate with the wrong hand.

10:02 am

ouch. Yes, in some places you better use the right hand for eating, or you insult the cook.

10:02 am

<---always eats with "wrong" hand

10:02 am

let's take a count: who is left-handed?

10:02 am

i am left handed in some things coz i used to be left handed when i was younger but they made me use my right hand at school

10:02 am

i am half left!

10:03 am

my husband's teachers told him he would never go to college if he continued to use his left hand!

10:03 am

they tried that with me too medusa, my mom kinda went off on the teacher...lol

10:03 am

I am pretty much ambidexter.

10:03 am

I knit left-handed

10:03 am

sooo, I remained left handed :D

10:03 am

hi

10:03 am

now thats handy sprite

10:03 am

hi harpjane

10:03 am

i have one of each. one right and one left

10:03 am

I do strength-related things on the right side, but am not ambidextrous

10:03 am

yes. Especially for using a screwdriver in nasty corners :)

10:04 am

my school got away with it smores!

10:05 am

one of each what, harpjane? Children? In my (very) large exgended family, the second-born cousin was always left handed

10:05 am

I can do most of things with my right ( except write) but I instinctively you my left

10:05 am

lol ruby, the server had a tantrum so i didn't get to finish....

10:05 am

extended*

10:06 am

one of each hands... a leftie and a right one

10:06 am

you too jane?

10:06 am

factoid--a disproportionate number of professional harpists are left handed.

10:06 am

we are all rushing to chat before the red boxes descend again

10:06 am

hey, didn't know that. Interesting!

10:06 am

40% of artists are left-handed : michaelangelo, leonardo, etc.

10:07 am

nor did i sprite. is there any particular reason jane?

10:07 am

fireflies. Very nice grid.

10:07 am

wtg sprite

10:07 am

you qare too smart, sprite! xx

10:07 am

the bass strings are heavier and those who can play with dexterity in both hands have a slight edge in the harp world.

10:07 am

My mom asked me why my school papers were so messy, and I told her " they make me use this hand" she was at the school the very next day.

10:07 am

i did not know that either ruby

10:07 am

WTG sprite !!!! woohoo

10:08 am

thats interesting jane.

10:08 am

left-handedness is an interesting question

10:08 am

bye all, must be off, alas. Take care. *hugs*

10:08 am

left brain/right brain

10:08 am

{{sprite}}

10:08 am

lol...yes, we are the only ones in our right mind :D

10:08 am

Plus, as any leftie knows, it is harder to favor non-dominant hand if you are a leftie. So the non-dominant hand ends up with more dexterity on a left-handed person.

10:08 am

bye sprite

10:09 am

raofl

10:09 am

lol

10:09 am

that is so true, harpjane

10:09 am

Bye sprite, enjoy your day dear :)

10:10 am

I'm going to re-address dinner. And probably have another gin in the process

10:10 am

If you injure your dominant arm, your recovery time will be shorter. Plus your brain will get to learn all sorts of new things!

10:10 am

Enjoy ruby :)

10:11 am

evidently, stroke victims are better off if they are left-handed. Who knew?

10:11 am

My dad was left handed until he broke his arm.

10:11 am

Wow, never heard that one ruby

10:11 am

that is interesting ruby (the stroke victim thing, AND the gin thing)

10:12 am

wow! you learn alsorts here!

10:12 am

the gin thing is probably more relevant in my life at this point. LOL

10:13 am

but i guess the stroke thing works because a stroke affects the right side!

10:13 am

I used to have a set of leftie mugs...they had a small hole at the lip so if a right handed person drank from one it dribbled. :D

10:13 am

we are all learning from each other, what a joy!

10:13 am

for nbt, i need the second row l and the fifth column e. stats please and thank you?

10:13 am

that is very funny, smores

10:14 am

10:16 am

That's always nice Sue, knock out the biggies from the start

10:16 am

10:16 am

10:18 am

I am, ruby, it has been quite amazing

10:18 am

same here Sue, not too icy though, the wind was strong enough last night to dry things up

10:19 am

Ahh...well enjoy your carbonara :)

10:19 am

10:19 am

carbonara sounds yummy, I haven't made it in years

10:29 am

10:49 am

Any hints for the 9 and 10?

10:49 am

Yay, half way

10:52 am

Apparently its a ballet term

10:53 am

Hi, Bichon.

10:53 am

Hi Judi, Chrissie

10:53 am

Or french word for between + the **** log is quiet at the moment

10:54 am

Unless you're up on your ballet terms, the en9 & 10 are difficult. So, phone a twinkle toe friend.

10:54 am

ty Judi and Chrissie. Got it

10:54 am

En9/66

10:55 am

Good :)

10:55 am

ty carlee

11:10 am

speaking of meet up india jan and i meeting for coffee in about an hour :)

11:11 am

11:11 am

nice carlee!

11:11 am

is he a quaker too?

11:11 am

that sounds rather fun jmc :)

11:12 am

11:12 am

bwahahahahaha

11:12 am

11:12 am

except that the meal was really really expensive. . . i confess i was glad i got to take home the left overs!

11:13 am

its ok peri..i am stuck with 205 left ;)

11:13 am

11:13 am

i have 169 left but you never know

11:13 am

if you were on the other coast, you could be earth quakers

11:14 am

we were going to eat at jaleo--a tapas bar--but it was packed. . .there was disney on ice, 5000 volley ball players, and the next day was a holiday. . .

11:14 am

so we walked down the street and ate at an Italian "family style" place

11:14 am

i was an earth quaker here a couple of summers ago BR

11:15 am

and quite a few quakers in california. . . nixon's mom was one of them

11:16 am

fireworks

11:17 am

whoo hooo medusa!

11:17 am

11:17 am

time to do some housework followed by dinner and knitting i think! lol

11:18 am

gl everyone

11:18 am

sounds like a lovely evening. . .

11:18 am

as long as there isn't too much housework

11:19 am

Housework? What's that?

11:20 am

ditto to what Judi said

11:20 am

(i am not sure judi but i didn't want to be rude to medusa)

11:21 am

Is that where the house works to make your life miserable?

11:21 am

if it is this house has done that for sure lately

11:22 am

Mine invites spiders inside so they can make cobwebs. It also lets in dust. Lots of dust.

11:22 am

this house does that too.

11:22 am

the plus of winter is that i am not battling fleas and ants! but i am cold. . .

11:23 am

but I did find a ladybug on my window sill the other day which was nice

11:23 am

Happy Birthday peri

11:23 am

a sure sign of spring around here peri

1:05 pm

i'm on the west coast and my time is all confused

1:05 pm

Babble has been wonky today.

1:06 pm

it will flip at 10 pm phaeton

1:06 pm

I was here earlier and read other people were having issues.

1:08 pm

I'm on the west coast too

1:09 pm

i'm in Oregon

1:09 pm

me too :) coos bay

1:13 pm

just south of you in Brookings

1:13 pm

nice, i go there all the time

1:14 pm

one of our daughters lives there

1:14 pm

first time here for me

1:14 pm

my daughter and her family moved here last July

1:14 pm

its the true warm spot in the banana belt of the coast

1:15 pm

not right now! lol

1:15 pm

i grew up here, in charleston

1:15 pm

no its not warm now and wont be for awhile im afraid

1:15 pm

bunch of cold fronts coming at us

1:16 pm

better than back in MI where it is snowy.

1:16 pm

oh im sure, snow is a rarity here, but it can happen

1:17 pm

you have poison oak in the summer there

1:17 pm

so be cautious in the woods :)

1:19 pm

not a problem...no treks in the woods for me...just a walk down to the beach when it gets nicer

1:20 pm

always a good idea, love the beach

1:20 pm

there is also a nice local beach by the sewage treatment plant there

1:21 pm

its less known of course

1:21 pm

we have one right below the house

1:22 pm

perfect

1:22 pm

just temporary...looking for a house to buy.

1:23 pm

places are rather spendy where you are

1:23 pm

they are cheaper in my area and inland, like coquille, myrtle point

1:24 pm

true...it's not going to be my house...helping family to settle in.

1:24 pm

ah...

1:29 pm

winter is a good time to look at property on the coast, see what floods and what doesnt

1:29 pm

dont buy in the tsunami zone ;)

1:31 pm

good advice Wyrd

1:36 pm

(((bugs))) hey all

1:36 pm

hi stid!! how are you doing today?

1:36 pm

getting anywhere with the shut down class yet?

1:36 pm

I am well, thanks -- our school had an extra planned day off, so I am home alone, enjoying listening to the radio and working on little projects. You?

1:37 pm

I am enjoying the sunshine and Babbling in between phone call about insurance. Not so much fun

1:38 pm

And not yet, we'll see how that class responds to the new arrangement. I think it will un-nerve them, which is bad, but I think the other three classes will benefit, which is good. The one class will figure out that it's not really all that much different, and then we'll be fine.

1:38 pm

I am getting connection errors... insurance?

1:38 pm

Babble has been wonky all day.

1:38 pm

im having slow down too stid

1:39 pm

I see that it's chilly where you are, Wyrd -- so sorry. Our temps are far above normal and I am worried we may get a late frost next month which would be really really bad.

1:39 pm

hey bea

1:39 pm

hello all.

1:39 pm

I just became the treasurer of a group that was about to fold for lack of a treasurer. I am working hard to fill in all the gaps

1:39 pm

yes, we have winter storms coming at us, hopefully no snow

1:39 pm

hello everyone :) Nice to see that lickety is back - 48 to go

1:40 pm

last year it snowed june 1st, and that has never happened in my lifetime

1:40 pm

still getting the red boxes of doom every now and again tho nan

1:40 pm

hey nan

1:41 pm

wow bugs, good luck with that -- really hard to pull something like that together (have been there done that)

1:41 pm

we had a dusting of snow last night on Vancouver Island but it is sunny and bright today

1:41 pm

we have some blue sky, but big billowy rain clouds mostly, 43 degrees so far

1:41 pm

it is working stid and I am enjoying the challenge. we got a new treasurer and a new president who know what needs to be done

1:42 pm

glad you're getting sun up there, bugs -- I really think I do better when it's brighter outside :-) at least, I sure do notice the dust on the furniture, which gets me up and moving! LOL

1:42 pm

hi stid :)

1:43 pm

saw you mom here a few days ago, but haven't seen you for awhile

1:43 pm

do you have a SAD light stid? I eat breakfast with mine every day and it really helps give me the rays I need

1:43 pm

I am long-term subbing in a 7th grade math teacher's room. About to start my 6th or 7th week, with no end in sight...

1:44 pm

yes, I do have one, bugs -- and I use it in the mornings when I am getting ready for work. When I can reach it. Going to uncover it on my next break.

1:45 pm

you may finish the year with those kids stid and I like the way you are taking over the classroom to suit you. It might shake the kids up but they will see that you are there for the long haul.

1:46 pm

I would not mind finishing up the year, bugs -- I have the support of the administrators, and checked into getting my certification here -- if I can pass the state test for math at this level I can ask for my credentialing institution to do a couple observations of me teaching and pay a fee (less than the cost of a program) and add this endorsement to my resume...

1:47 pm

sounds very complicated. up here once you are in, you just keep getting hours until you can get a full time job

1:48 pm

Which is the other thing I want to do this afternoon -- I am taking an online noncredit math course to refresh my knowledge of Algebra. I "did the math" and it has been almost 30 years since I took calculus. One stats class and one very watered-down "math for elementary teachers" class in the interim. I am so rusty with many concepts! Fortunately they are past the point where these kids are. ;-)

1:48 pm

I am qualified to teach at this level of math if it were a "self contained" classroom where I taught all subjects. But they make a distinction for teachers who do only one subject, so technically I am not "highly qualified"

1:49 pm

the math for elementary kids will do you the most good for middle school kids. some of them have not mastered the skills before they get to you

1:49 pm

I know, Bugs... *sigh* which is part of the issue for my kiddos. But since I know the math that should be preparatory to this, I am able to fill in a lot of the gaps in knowledge as we go along.

1:50 pm

ah, so you are starting your career as a specialist. I shud have known you wud find the tough route *smiles*

1:51 pm

rofl... I never do seem to get the easy way. Must be the Irish part of me, making doors instead of going through the open ones. Though it makes me feel closer to my paternal grandmother who was a 50+ year old new teacher and opted in as a middle school math teacher because that's where the openings were. I wish she were still around for me to share things with.

1:52 pm

Hello again!

1:52 pm

1:52 pm

He is going to play in the Philadelphia Parade on July 4!!!!! *bounce bounce bounce* I will get to stay home and take care of critters, so Tom can go back and visit relatives.

1:55 pm

1:56 pm

Hi BzznBea! Sorry I missed you a minute ago!

1:56 pm

wandering off for a bit. happy babbling

1:56 pm

Yep. He's rather "chuffed" -- ALSO, he got a "superior" rating for his signing at the state Solo and Ensemble competition. Mother played the piano for that. He thinks it wasn't good enough because he wasn't invited to the All-State Choir, but it was his first time for that competition.

1:57 pm

No problem, car,

1:57 pm

later all, I am out, too. *poof*

3:05 pm

I have been getting red boxes today

3:06 pm

with two different messages

3:06 pm

It's been a few days peri

3:06 pm

this is the first time for me

oh, yeah. earlier I got the contact dr. god msg. now I'm getting word couldn't be added, please try again.

3:07 pm

Really? It's happened for me the last few days

3:07 pm

Really? It's happened for me the last few days

I can only get in on one browser.

Why did they have to ruin Downton Abbey like this?

haven't watched it yet!

but I do know what's coming (not that I wanted to)

Oh, then I'm not saying.

why why why

They never did this in Upstairs Downstairs.

3:16 pm

Kaplan, I understand, but I think the person wanted out of the show

Replace him! Like Darren! Or anyone on Days of Our Lives!

Or was it Darryl?

LOL, I know - it's never stopped a soap opera before. "The part of so-and-so is being played today by..."

Darren if you mean Bewitched

Though I do realize it wouldn't work so well to try to replace John Hamm on Mad Men with just anyone.4

To Endora he was Darryl.

ah

3:19 pm

Find another nice looking blond guy

Those were streaks I think.

If it were Days oif Our Lives, he would come back.

I ruined it for my daughter last night by calling her before she finished watching, but then I realized that it would have ruined itse;f anyway.

Another reason Daytime soaps are more rewarding- nothing is final.

fireworks! gotta go!

3:33 pm

I always laugh when an actor leaves an incredibly popular show like Downton Abbey and then is never heard from again. It's like, oops, bad career choice.

4:06 pm

Good Afternoon. Is everyone still napping now?

4:07 pm

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

4:08 pm

Shhh, jmc, don't snore so loud. We might wake the natives here.

4:12 pm

huh? huh? *rubs eyes* sorry didn't mean to snore

4:13 pm

It's okay, they all seem to be very sound asleep here

4:13 pm

bbl much swap the washing. . . .

4:13 pm

*must

4:14 pm

do you need clues nef?

4:14 pm

I'm just tarting now

4:15 pm

trying for NBT. How hard is the grid?

4:15 pm

STARTING; not "tarting"

4:15 pm

ah well it is a bit of a bear. . . but lots of real words intermixed

4:15 pm

and there i thought you were all tarted up with makeup

4:16 pm

are you almost done now? (It seems odd that it's so quiet here at this time of day!)

4:16 pm

no i have 139 left. . . i am usually not here this time of day anymore. . . but got tired of working

4:17 pm

LOL! I should have red lip stick,spike heels and some dangly earrings and such!

4:17 pm

but i have nbt so can help there if needed

4:17 pm

(My typing is terrible today and so is my spelling!)

4:18 pm

that 2nd row N is my last one

4:18 pm

and you head to the pb for your discription of how you should look

4:18 pm

tough day at work? Or just the blahs?

4:18 pm

n+amount of land

4:19 pm

thankyou!

4:19 pm

mainly the blahs. . .lots of conversations with answering machines

4:19 pm

found a major error on my webpage. . .that sort of thing

4:20 pm

ah well the wash didn't go away. . . bbl

4:21 pm

OOPS! I hate talking to machines too. I got distracted last week and left wrong phone numbers and addresses while at work. :-(

4:24 pm

hey all (((net))) (((mmc)))

4:24 pm

my computer autocorrected your name, JE!!! *sigh*

4:24 pm

hi stid! How's it going?

4:25 pm

just stopping by before I go finish making my vest. I am determined to show up tomorrow with a new vest to wear! :-) About another two hours' work, methinks...

4:25 pm

how about you, Nef? DH behaving himself? *stern mama look at Nef's DH*

4:25 pm

hello all, back to find 56 words

4:26 pm

hey peri! **scatters choclits gleefully**

4:26 pm

hey guys.. can someone clue the 9?

4:26 pm

:)

4:26 pm

I donated blood about an hour ago and the volunteer in charge of the snacks was a retired teacher. I told her about you and she feels bad for you

4:26 pm

Hello all!

4:27 pm

sorry lbuxx, still looking... hey hilly!

4:27 pm

or jilly... *sigh*

4:27 pm

hi peri, ibuxx and Jilly

4:27 pm

It's rough for sure, Nef, but getting better. Slowly but surely, I am getting to the point where I can smile at the kids without them deciding that's an invitation to take advantage of me.

4:27 pm

is this all autocorrect mistakes, stid; or are you tired?

4:27 pm

Still love ya stid! hilly or jilly!

4:28 pm

And also to the point where when I have to reprimand a student officially (in writing to the principal) I can actually take them aside and explain why I am doing it and they don't fly off the handle. Most of them...

4:28 pm

autocorrects, Nef

4:28 pm

also tired and my eyes don't like the material I am sewing on... dark thread on dark background. But I'll be done today and back to normal.

4:28 pm

Good news, stid (about the teaching stuff)

4:29 pm

YAY! past halfway!!!

4:29 pm

what's the new vest look like?

4:29 pm

:-) one of my issues with the eyes of course is that once I overdo it I get migraines, so I am being VERY careful to take regular breaks.

4:30 pm

and you don't need migraines with this job!

4:30 pm

It's two-sided again, different pattern, but should still be good (I couldn't find the one I usually make...). I am not, of course, following directions, because I have to mess with everything.

4:30 pm

I am sure in retrospect that I drove my own math and science teachers NUTS!

4:30 pm

directions??? What are those? ;-)

4:31 pm

I'll post a couple pics to my blog when I am done. Silly me, didn't take little pics all along, but that's okay. I have a couple "in process" shots.

4:31 pm

LOL Nef! I used to sew a lot, so I have the hubris to think I can make things up as I go along...

4:32 pm

oh my -- going to lose my sunlight soon. Must get back to work on the detail things (putting on the pockets) before that happens. Back later. **hugs and choclits for all** *poof*

4:33 pm

"do you normally take pictures all the way through a process" was not found in the dictionary SIGH.

4:33 pm

I can't play the grid and chat today I guess

4:33 pm

LOL and with creative things, yes Nef -- I like to document what I did so I can either repeat or avoid! *repoof*

4:36 pm

half way without the list - happy dance :)

4:37 pm

BTW, everyone; I'm getting my kitchen redone next week! I can hardly wait! :-D

4:37 pm

(since stid spoke of pictures along the way; I think I'll do that too; not just the before and after pics.

4:38 pm

wtg, KatieMcG

4:39 pm

That is a great idea Nef, we did ours last year ourselves and took pictures all the way through it's nice to see how far it has come from where it started when you take it for granted that you have a lovely new kitchen

4:40 pm

nice nef! *polite jealousy*

4:40 pm

I'm having Home Depot do it. It probably costs more; but it will be done sooner.

4:41 pm

We are doing the livingroom now and I wish we had taken before pictures. I am sitting on garden furniture next the wallpapering table as I type.

4:41 pm

i have el 4/4 and el 4/5 for the first E first column does anybody know what the other one is?

4:41 pm

Our kitchen has a small window facing south but it's your basic small 1950's galley style

4:41 pm

Another good idea it took us a month and nearly killed us. There was a real sense of achievement but not sure it was worth the heartache. We couldn't afford to get someone to fit it as we did it a bit spur of the moment.

4:42 pm

We got ours from IKEA.

4:42 pm

It's always been so dark in there; I painted the dark cabinets while about 10 years ago but now I just need a big change

4:43 pm

we got new windows for our house last year

4:43 pm

er 4/4

4:43 pm

we have a galley as well and put in white shiney units with half size doors and it seems much bigger than it used to be.

4:43 pm

ty nef

4:44 pm

Yippee!! got the 9/10 combo!!

4:44 pm

Oh MLF we need to do that next year but the people who sell them are so vile I can't bear to have them in the house which is a bit of an issue

4:44 pm

wtg Jilly

4:45 pm

i have st 5/12 for the 2nd column S what am i missing?

4:45 pm

Katie, we're just getting the basic cabinets resurfaced; new doors and drawers in natural oak and then a white quartz countertop

4:45 pm

2nd se6/18 pls

4:47 pm

we used window world and love them

4:47 pm

We put new windows in the back half of the house the years we moved in here (1992); finished the rest off about 10-12 years ago and they were much cheaper for the same energy efficiency.

4:48 pm

nbt/nbs...sheesh this grid can have it's moments!

4:48 pm

jilly i have nbt and bs and i agree with you

4:48 pm

we ripped everything back to the bare walls but installed a kitchen that we can change the doors next time without the nightmare we went through this time

4:49 pm

Jilly, could you please give the stats on the 9/10 please?

4:49 pm

5:22 pm

Wellll..yeah..although i do tend to nap..when ever the mood takes me..lol

5:41 pm

LOL, Molly..that will stick in your head for a while now.

5:42 pm

Sorry, the little musical notes probably annoy people intensely too.

5:46 pm

Oh my..just watched an opening song on youtube..yeah..looks a litle bit like a childrens tv show called rainbow here.

5:50 pm

There is nothing quite like hearing those kids show opening songs over and over and over again when you have small kids in the house. The Gumby song in particular resonates in the deep corners of my brain.

5:54 pm

wow you are going back a bit now, Molly..1967.

5:56 pm

Actually, there was a Gumy revival in the 80's. That is how my kids know it.

5:57 pm

Ahh i see..i only clicked on the first vid on youtube.

5:58 pm

Sorry, Gumby. Gumy is the senior citizens version.

5:59 pm

6:52 pm

Oh my, I like the idea of the pecans along with your other ingredients, dorens.

6:52 pm

take M from smeesh ansd change it too a letter'

6:52 pm

Anything with pecans is a home run.

6:52 pm

6:53 pm

ty molly for the sm clew.

6:54 pm

i just came back from boston. driving four and a half hours home//basically to have lunch with my son. but he's worth it. and it was in the federal reserve bank buiding which has this amazing dining room on the 32nd floor overlooking the harbor.

6:54 pm

They are expensive Cos. I buy them in small quantities and add them to things like cookies and muffins.

6:55 pm

i buy in huge quantities at costco and freeze them. much cheaper than small quantities.

6:55 pm

What a lovely lunch date!! 32 floors. That is a high building.

6:55 pm

really special. and he sprung it on me that he and his wife are moving to california this summer. I guess the spectacular setting softened the news

6:56 pm

California. That means a field trip, I think.

6:56 pm

i suspect there will be several in the next few years...

long drive for lunch all right! glad it was worth it

6:58 pm

me too. could have been worse news, i suppose..

6:58 pm

I have a hard time shopping at a place like Costco for two, on my budget. I know you can buy big quantities of things and save, but I don't usually have the luxury of buying the big quantities.

6:59 pm

Bags in the store look so innocent but bring them home and they fill my pantry.

but there's things you can buy one of at costco, too

6:59 pm

i do my own personal food co-op. I have one friend who always wants to split their huge bags of broccoli florets which are half the price of the food stores... another who will do the romaine lettuce, another the big block of cheddar. It is silly. since i live alone, but I just love the bargain (and quality)

like clothes, books, DVDs, bags of snack food . . .

7:00 pm

I wish I had that Dorens. That is the way to save at places like Costco if you are not buying for a large family.

7:01 pm

i once had three kids and it made a lot of sense....now, i just can't give it up. Molly, do you have bneighbors who would be interested?

7:03 pm

Nope, no neighbors interested and all of my single friend eat out more than they shop for food to cook at home.

7:04 pm

so you single friends are rich?

7:04 pm

No, just lazy : D

7:05 pm

it costs so much more... I am cheap about somethings and extravagant about others... i guess we each have our own fiscal policies...

7:06 pm

I hardly ever eat out. Mostly because I like my own cooking more than restaurant fare.

7:07 pm

that too. Well, I like a lot of restaurant fare but that stuff is really expensive and takes more time out of my busy schedule. ok. down to 40 now, the moment of truth.. is there a lickety list? soon to find out

7:07 pm

yay

7:10 pm

ahah! fm's word is here

holy cow i found the 9 / 10

7:16 pm

good for you (wouldn't mind a clue... hint, hint)

en9 = speaking of food, the main course en5 + ch4 a light conversation

and plural o' course

7:19 pm

merçi beaucoup

donkey stern

7:20 pm

and done! now maybe a nice hot bath. night all

wtg and bye dorens!

7:22 pm

unless you need a clue first, bdg

thanks, i'll keep plugging away 8-)

7:23 pm

WooT WooT WooT dorens!

7:23 pm

ok.. happy babbles to you then

7:26 pm

Good night to all. Thanks for the company!

7:26 pm

Niters stidg!

9:14 pm

thanks babs working on it

9:14 pm

Ha got it!

9:20 pm

hi sandy, BR, mkg!

9:21 pm

Hello, Sue

9:21 pm

Hi again. DH and a friend and I went and played bingo at a Mexican restaurant (and ate supper there) this evening; DH won $53 and my friend and I didn't win. So we made DH pay for supper! :-D

9:22 pm

sound fair to me

9:22 pm

hi all

9:23 pm

hmmmm must not have taken the same drugs BR

9:23 pm

hi BR, sue, jmc and sandy. Are you having nice evenings and getting through the grid?

9:25 pm

i am having a nice evening anyway! haha

9:25 pm

you got the laundry done?

9:26 pm

last load is drying. . .

9:26 pm

It's always so nice to finish the laundry; but then you get ready for bed and it starts all over again

9:27 pm

true . . . but at least the stack is shorter

9:28 pm

very true. I keep trying to get all the clothes done for at least 12 hours; but I've never succeeded.

9:29 pm

hi nef and jmc!

9:29 pm

you have to set the last load to dry just before bed when you are already in your PJs

9:30 pm

hi uu

9:30 pm

I've hired the sister of a friend who has been organizing my entire house; she's also been doing the laundry and dishes and walking the dog. I am very happy with her!

9:30 pm

how are you and frank doing?

9:31 pm

you could try not wearing clothes Nef?

9:31 pm

WHat a great idea when your plate is as full as yours is right now, sue! Good for you!

9:31 pm

we are ok; Frank is handling the chemo pretty well but the emotional side is still really hard

9:31 pm

in the summer i could do that. . . too cold in the winter

9:32 pm

it is good to have someone help so you can focus on frank a little more

9:32 pm

We are doing well, jmc. He's discovering that he's very weak; and I'm trying to get him to exercise and walk more

9:32 pm

good luck with that nef. . .it is so hard to get someone started!

9:32 pm

sorry, ruru; this is Minnesota and I'd never warm up if I tried going naked! ;-)

9:34 pm

Ooops, jmc! My DH is also a Frank; not paying close enough attention to realize you were talking to sue!

9:34 pm

one of the annoying thing about all that construction is that i had to wear a nighty all summer long. . .never knew when i would wake up to someone outside my second floor window

9:34 pm

i was happy to hear about your DH too Nef

9:36 pm

When we were younger, I'd sleep in the buff; but now I'm just cold most of the time.

9:36 pm

i am not cold in June-July and August in DC. . . usually. . . since i have no a/c

9:39 pm

It gets pretty darn muggy and hot there, doesn't it in the summer months?

9:41 pm

not compared to houston where i grew up

9:42 pm

does Houston get muggy? I've been in San Antonio in late June for a convention and found that really hot and humid

9:42 pm

but compared to much of the re** of the world. . .

9:42 pm

houston is 80% humidy unless it is raining

9:43 pm

YUK!!!

9:43 pm

haha fewer wrinkles!

9:44 pm

clue for the en9/10 please

9:44 pm

I moved south for the warmer climate (from northern MN to southern MN) and when I start thinking about going farther south, DH tells me he can't tolerate the heat and reminds me I don't want bigger bugs!

9:44 pm

he has a point

9:45 pm

en= french word for going into a room + the real name of chog

9:45 pm

+ pl

9:46 pm

ty that gives me nbs and 98 left and enough for me tonight

9:46 pm

thanks nef and hello everyone!

9:46 pm

I have 99 left and am now finding a bunch of easy weords.

9:46 pm

hi saani

9:47 pm

that gives me hope nef, just started

9:48 pm

I probably won't finish; but it's always nice to get NBT and NBS and half way and not feel compelled to finish no matter what

9:48 pm

I agree, nef!

9:48 pm

so I will lurk and continue slodding along. Hi jmc!

9:49 pm

and hello to you uussue too!

9:49 pm

love your icon, sue. (But I don't see Mercury)

9:50 pm

it's very tiny and dim, nef

9:50 pm

It must be. :-)

9:51 pm

go to apod.nasa.gov

9:51 pm

hi saan and bye all and it keeps being too cloudy to see mercury here so i am waiting for the comets next month!

9:51 pm

the picture is bigger there

9:51 pm

*poof*

9:52 pm

good bye, jmc. Have a good night!

9:52 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?

9:53 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!

9:53 pm

hi min!

9:53 pm

hi Min! How are you this evening?

9:54 pm

I'm well thank you! Gave up on the grid at 5:07 today

9:54 pm

I did go there now, sue. There is a bunch of Mercurys there! :-)

9:55 pm

hey all, vest finished, pics online, I am eating leftovers

9:55 pm

there are indeed!

9:56 pm

yay stid!

9:56 pm

:-)

9:56 pm

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to chog

9:56 pm

WTG, stid!

9:56 pm

I am past halfway in the grid, Min! Hope you had a lovely day, too.

9:58 pm

Hah. took the "math" teacher until words 114 and 115 to find the triangle measurement words... *sigh*

9:58 pm

I gave up stidmama, but story is in profile if you need

9:59 pm

I don't really understand why people lurk.. chatting is the best part of this game

9:59 pm

hey ruru!

9:59 pm

hi stidders

9:59 pm

angle? acute? scalene?

10:00 pm

I don't think I am going to try to finish, Min. I have to wake up early tomorrow and get in early to the classroom to be sure I have everything ready. After a long weekend, it's anyone's guess! LOL

10:00 pm

radian? degree?

10:00 pm

se 6 and plural, sue. trig word

10:00 pm

ah. thanks for putting me out of my misery :-)

10:01 pm

What are you teaching tomorrow stidmama? I am off the whole week for winter break. It is going quickly.

10:02 pm

thanks, stid. Where do you have your pics posted?

10:02 pm

still 7th grade Math, Min. Starting week #6 with the same kids. About to finish another chapter, and I have plans ready for the next

10:02 pm

website Nef my com account with my username

10:03 pm

your blog page? I didn't see any pictures there

10:04 pm

you need to hit the "see more" button -- long posts with pics I try to remember not to load a million bytes unless someone really wants to see them

10:04 pm

I lied. It says "continue reading" LOL

10:04 pm

ok; I'll try again

10:07 pm

NICE! Your "winging it" looks really good!

10:08 pm

*glows with pride* thanks Nef. To be honest, my first truly "solo" attempt in years. Usually Mother and I work together, but she was busy and I really wanted to finish today!

10:08 pm

(I always loved smaller pockets inside my scrub jacket pockets for all the necessities of bedside nursing

10:09 pm

You'll get lots of good use from that vest, stid.

10:10 pm

My regular pattern is "scrubs" They really make great wearing clothes for teaching. Particularly because they make sure things are long enough to not "flash" people if you have to bend down.

10:11 pm

I have to teach sixth grade Math for an after school program and I think it's very difficult to do stidmama

10:12 pm

It can be, Min -- not all days/classes/kids are the most fun to work with, but mostly I just love it. I think I got really lucky to stumble onto this gig.

10:12 pm

I always wore a scrub jacket over a turtleneck shirt. It was so much more professional looking than just a scrub top; and the pockets were terrific

10:12 pm

yep. turtlenecks are also warmer. And with my allergies, the less skin exposure to environmental contaminants the better.

10:13 pm

It sounds like you're gaining confidence stid! :-)

10:14 pm

(I have sensitive skin too; I'd break out from my stethescope!)

10:14 pm

Confidence? maybe. We'll see if it's justified tomorrow. Rearranging the room will set some kids off and help others. I am hoping it helps more than it un-nerves.

10:15 pm

well, you sound definitely more sure of yourself than you sounded last week

10:16 pm

thanks, Nef. I feel more sure. Not certain how much longer I will be needed, but I am "giving it my all" for now and we'll see what happens.

10:17 pm

I should head out and make sure I have everything I need printed up. Back next weekend probably. Have a lovely rest of your week, all! *poof*

10:17 pm

Bye stid! Good Luck!

10:18 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log

10:18 pm

bye stid!

10:24 pm

I'm getting lots of clues from your story, Min; thanks as usual! :-)

10:24 pm

You're welcome Nef. I wrote it at 6:00. Glad it helped

10:31 pm

70 left; I'm going to list now.

10:33 pm
