ro 7/8
tyty lickety
1 1/2 hours post-op, he was wide awake, took 60mls of feed(had been only taking 20mls), was breathing beautifully on his own, no oxygen therapy
Thank you, Lickety!!!
ty lickety!
he had a hernia in his abdominal wall. it was stopping him from taking normal sized breaths, and so he couldn't feed properly.
And it's such a wonder how resilient babies are!
glad to hear all went well rose
when my son called this morning you could hear the ear-to-ear grin in his voice.
that poor thing! Hes had a heck of an entry into this world
my mushrooms are in da grid again!!
thanx everyone. my son has said to say thanx from also. he couldn't believe so many people were praying for him and his family.

sorry... I couldn't help myself
*shaking head and chuckling* ruru, you naughty man
saw that, granny! :-)
Congratulations on your new grandson rose, glad to hear his op went well
scratching now jilli :S
aww thanx chrissie. we have a completely different bubby now. it seems the hernia was what the problem was all along.
not *your* armpits, chrissie!
I know, phantom itching anyway, lol
well don't start screaming deoder chrissie
how empathetic, lol!
...waiting...
No rant here
HA
Took me long enough!
back for a few more, head hit the pillow and wide awake - darn
Hate that flosey
told you you'd be back flosey
you did it, ru
just saw a remedy on TV, flosey -- pumpkin seeds + carbs.
I did that last night.
wouldn't pumpkin seeds squash your need to sleep
Wound up going back to bed at 7:00AM. I tell you it's hard to make appointments when one has insominia
Probably the groans from the chog kept flosey awake
insomina...oh, Hell, I don't know how to spell it.
:D
it was for real, flosey -- not an ad. Reported on CTV news, doctor explained.
ruru, that went right through to the marrow, here
no pumpkin seeds in the house but a few simple carbs
pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, the carbs help absorb it.
zucchini it's you though, i'll let it pass
maybe some pumpkin seeds and a shot of scotch flosey :D
ah, so combined, don't really care for pumpkin seeds
intravenously of course
ah, now perhaps that might help! lol, don't like scotch either
*passes out*
now there's an idea rose
hmmm, pumpkin seeds, scotch and carbs enema...could work...if you don't sleep, you'll get a good run for your money.
I don't drink much of anything anymore ru, just an occasional glass of wine, or g&t
There's the nurse coming through, lol
didn't want to disappoint....
Rose, put those rubber gloves away
would the carbs be gnocchi granny
* lubricant at the ready*
then someone would be gnocchi'd up
running away from rose
not me, thank heavens, ruru.lol
I have a funny story
*throws lasso at flosey* drat....missed...slippery little sucker ain't she?
when necessary, rose
tell, ru...
patiently waiting, ru
Statement or prelude ru?
*toes tapping*
my friends in New york who i lived with for a while. went out to Babbo for dinner in NYC a great italian restaurant. we got in a taxi to head back to the garage and I asked my friend what her favorite course was.. and she said "I loved the Nookie".. the cab driver (middle eastern) had to pull off the road from laughing
LOL!
roflol
Lol
we were in tears
I commented.. that I didn't see her and her husband go to the restroom at the same time
the cab driver got out of the car
i bet you were...did you manage to correct her with no HARD feelings?
we call them Heleneisms
I have another
i'm not kidding either
So one of many then
go for it ruru...as if you would kid!!
that was a good one, let's hear the next one
we went to Oyster Bay (I think it's called that) on Long Island to this nice seafood restaurant.. and we ordered fried squid..and I offered her some.. .. she said give me the round pieces I don't like the testicles
Please tell us ru, I'm growing old here.
now really lol
Honest to God
we were DYING
That was worth waiting for.
hubby will be out here in a minute complaining that I am disturbing his sleep
brb
She must be an innocent :)
hilarious, ruru!
oh geez.. she comes up with one after another
I felt Like I was living in the Seinfeld show there
does she have bellicose veins? Or very close ones?
HA
LOL, ruru...my goodness how do keep a straight face whenever you see her?
these are true stories jilli honest
I was laughing so hard I couldn't eat
I believe you, ru! I think the veins are true too, but don't know personally. And sadly, it seems only men get prostrate cancer.
Did that poor woman know what you were laughing about?
sure.. she was laughing too.. she doesn't think before she talks.. her family has a million stories
how delicious!
I should write a book about my time there we laughed for three months
well, speaking of pumpkins, it's after midnight so bedtime for me -- goodnight all and ...*poof
night, dear jilli, sweet sleep, my friend
night jilli - hope you have better luck than I
(you should, ru)
Night jilli
*puts out glass slippers for jilli*
Thanks for the early morning laughs here, off to make coffee, bbs
later chrissie
bye chrissie
test
night. all.
I'm crashing now too
night ru, thanks for the laughs
glad I got up again
night, dear ruru. hope you sleep well, dear
hey joso.
Sweet dreams, ruru.
Hey there, joso.
down to 80 and must try and sleep now, goodnight again everyone
good morning all :) Nice size for a Sunday.
I hope you can get to sleep, dear flosey. And dream sweet dreams.
Hi there sprite.
hiya peach :) Sleep well, flosey and ruru.
argh... phantom -th and phantom -ing today.
Sprite, there seems to be an ending for the 7's that I can't figure out.....maybe you will be able to see it.
so far I have only seen the -ies and the -tor ending. Will keep looking!'haen
sorry! Don't know how that happened... stupid me.
-ine ending? morning all
oh, and the -ied.
hiya Glant :)
i have a few -ens too
Hi Sprite, Peach
Hi Glant. Thanks for the endings
doh. it just took me about 6 attempts to find the obvious ze4
maybe also -rate and rated/rates, but I haven't seen words with those endings yet.
NBT, NBS
-ate & -ates ends
babble blindness, Glant! :)
I've writen down the ones you all gave me. I'm in zombie mode now, so anything will be helpful.
and -ian as ending too. A flower.
ro7/8 combo are a type of lettuce (to go with the flower)
:D Glant and I are making a salad!
:-D
name that proper noun: neighbourhood in New York
hello, back, saw your light on, thought i would drop in...lol
yonkers?
rose, my dear friend, you are welcome even when the lights should be out already!
manhattan?
my NY geography isn't great but i found that - shame enable wont accept it
sprite, did you see the news on braxton?
nope... Glant found it!
it accepts the ancient italians
rose, the last I saw was he had to be operated upon for his umbi. Did he?
harlem, for the neighbourhood :)
he had a hernia in his abdo. wall...that is why he couldn't take a deep breath, breathe normally, and couldn't feed.
Glant, it was what I was thinking for a clue for the lettuce... the Asterix and Obelix quote "Ils sont fou, ces ro8!" ;)
aw poor little man! How is he now?
1 1/2 hours post-op he was wide awake, drank 60mls( he would only take 20 mls at a time) and breathing beautifully on room air
ohhhh! Brax, my man, you are the same kind of hero as your grandma!
the other good news is, that now the stress is over, lu's milk came in, overnight.
Ts trounced!
awesome. WTG Lu too. Rose, I am so happy for all of you. You must have been so worried.
yay Glant, good job
i could hear the ear-to-ear grin in my son's voice this morning when he phoned me.
Hey Rose and Glantarell. :)
Ss slaughatered
Hi Neil
I bet, rose. It is so scary when our children aren't ok.
nice going, Glant!
ahhhhh!!! {{neil}}
so I think the whole family will finally be able to sleep well now, rose.
(((( Rose)))) :)
yes sprite. not sure when he is coming home/back to local hospital. but it appears he has done a compleye turn around.
neil, did you see about braxton. isn't wonderful news?
sorry, am way behind on the news - who is braxton?
am so glad, rose. Will keep on holding him and you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh no, Rose... just reading about Braxton further down in the chog! :( He's ok now?
Oh hey. A complete turnaround? Yeah. That's great news... glad to see that. :)
glant, braxton is my latest grangkiddie, born the same day as prince george.
prince brax it is
congratulations, and so glad the problem has been caught and resolved
Neil, how is the new job going? are you still liking it?
congratulations ot neil also for the new job
Going great Rose... loving it. :)
Thanks Glant... it's been a few months though. ;)
what are you doing?
yay, Neil. and the girlfriend? still liking it as concierge?
I haven't been on the chog much of late, been luring :-)
*lurking, even!
Luring who? Haha.
Haha, yeah. Figured that's what you meant.
She changed jobs a while ago, Rose.
oh, did i miss one of your emails? what is she doing now?
did you catch the new word torgone came up with, Glant? A flurker: someone who claims to be a lurker but avidly reads chog anyway and posts the occasional entry. A faux lurker :)
ah, that description fits me to a T just lately!!!
flurking sounds like a neat pastime :-D
except i don;t avidly read the chog...
:D Absolutely. It has a great ring, that word.
i just read it between looking for words so miss loads of stuff...
I don't know, Rose? She's working in a boutique/gift shop in a hotel. She enjoys that... better than front desk clerk.
so what are you doing now Neil?
It's on profile, Glant. :)
I only lurk while avidly reading the parts of the chog where the best clues are, lol - wonder what that makes me... a clurker?
ooo I like clurker too :) Hiya rbud!
hi, sprite, and everyone else (lurking or not) :)
hello rbud.
Not sure what that first job description means Neil LOL but it's good thta you're happy
oh, please cna i alternate between flurking and clurking?
Hi Rbud
Oh, well that's online gaming channels, Glant.
oh, Neil, seventh heaven for a woman...working with such lovely things around her.
always, Glant! It is a free choice all the way.
Yep, Rose... pretty much.
Is finished - took me ages to find the prisoners
wtg Glant!
that makes me a flurk then...
flurkers and clurkers are true babblers too :)
brb...need a drink
my love is still sleeping downstairs, rose... bring me a drink too please :)
Wel if you look at how many people play babble and how many regularly chat in the chog...i would say most of us are flurkers :-)
Hi Zooz
hiya zooz, very true, and no shame in that. *hugs*
Howdy doodle diddle, Spritey & Glantarell!
rose will be back soon, with drinks, zooz
coming up, dear...bourbon, or southern comfort?

hi Jjenny!
Ahh well keep the congrats in your pocket for when you do :-)
ni5 - common babblet
hi sprite and all the flurkers here
sounds japanese to me
N = second generation japanese immigrants
lol hello, Jenny.
in4: hairynosed dolphin babblet
in6 & 7 in + ti4
oh, been looking for ages, just found the white settler in hawaii
it is japanese, Glant. Import words for 'import' japanese immigrating into the USA. is*** is first generation, ni*** is second.
Hs done
hery hood, hery hood
got the ni but the others come from the other I
ty for the explanation Sprite. I think I knew it somewhere at the back of my brain because i felt there was a japanese connection, but couldn;t quite retrieve it
in6/18 comes from the bottom i
the dolphin and the in + fork prongs are from the bottom
yvw Glant. All the things we learn from babble, huh :)
got them - I found a different in6/7
the prisoners are from the other i.
sansei is the third generation
yep, and hi o-o
hello BR
It is indeed.
name change, BabbleRabble?
Yonsei is the fourth generation.
crumbs, so 1st gen is japan, 2nd is isei, 3rd ni5, and 4th yonsei - is there a term for 5th?
first gen is is***, second ni***, 3rd is san***, 4th is yon***. After that, the japanese still in Japan won't consider them japanese at all anymore.
I don't think I'd consider them japanese any more either LOL
Ds done
I think in their hearts they still will feel japanese themselves. But yeah, I agree :)
Stats for the Z please?
0
ze4, nothing, zilch
took me ages to find it LOL
but if you prefer, ze4
Hangs my head in shame...so sorry.

sorry, zooz, no shame, mate, yo are in good? company
hiya josh and gz
As annihiliated, and now I can accept the congratulations given earlier
Even though i am on my own here..i still could feel my face go red when i found it...should of found it with ease.

gods, ivesy
ty lb!
thought there was a pasta called "rotini"? hi all.. just here for a few, babbling on/off today
there is
howdy aloy
lol, just saw your post ouwachita.. I think we are correct
hello?...hello..am i transmitting on this channel?..hello?...lol..is there anybody out there?..come quick watson,i need you!
howdy crossy (-:
ahh! had me worried there for a bit.good morning ,aloy;))
sipping some coffee... drove all day yesterday, have car lag
crossy i saw stuff at cracker barrel yesterday that said "bacon nation" and thought of you
hehe.love it when all the ladies of the world are thinking of me,whatever the reason:))
Crossy, have you seen the bacon bandaids?
sounds like the name of a band
hello hello
i have some,kmlein:))
howdy,annie:)
hi Annie!
Somehow I thought you might.
and bacon toothpicks i have on hand as well:))
amnity is not amnesty, time for a second cup.. brb
Yummy! I may have to go out and get some bacon for breakfast. I'm getting hungry.
mmmm,brakfast...
breakfast
anyone have the first ma5?
sorry haven't started M's yet
i am having trouble with left E - any help there?
em 5/12
em5
em5--to over act
ah silly me! thanks
and plural
yes got them all once i saw the first
say do we have any sciencey people here at the moment?
Crossy, my bacon-loving daughter wants to know if you are married. LOL!
Good day to all.
i would like to know the adjective i can use to describe rock that is very layered and papery like a pastry crust. like i would say, this rock is flinty. or something. i want to know the correct word. preferably ending with y though. :)
and yes crossy is married.
Hi Scrabbs
yes,i am married ,mklein,why??
Sure, Hurshy. We can make our own adjectives by adding a -y or -ish.
whaddya mean why, she loves bacon, you love bacon...
lol,sorry,one wife at a time for crossy:))
well yeah scrabbler but i want to know if there is already a correct science word to describe that kind of rock.
2 would be chaos
Stratified.
is that the only word or are there more?
do i have options?
in contexet a rock can have striations
but i mean so papery it like crumbles and falls apart real easy in your hand and you can get a paper cut on it
Flaky!
i was at a shore with this sort of rock on friday and was calling it flinty but not knowing if that made any sense at all
stratify
well sure, flaky would work, but flaky works for more than just rocks
schist
stratification..delamination
schist?
it was schisty?
yes, you could say that. not very technical, but it works
do not know that word.we can look at other languages of course
make sure you pronounce the ST lol
schistic?
Keep it clean, now.
rotini is not accepted--type of pasta
can't remember if it is metamorphic or not
as in i slipped on some schlist and landed on my plotz:)
we're all very upset about the rotini
i am boycotting pasta for a week now.it must be a proper town or city name as well as a pasta,either that or enable is having a hissy fit
Alright, we are all mourning rotini.
Rotini (according to Wikipedia) The name is supposed to derive from the Italian for twists, but the word "rotini" does not exist in Italian.
mm,well there goes that idea
it doesn't not count things that are proper but also generic, if it has generic meaning it counts (like ro5)
Probably rotino, with rotini as plural.
on the bright side, my mart is SO CUTE
Ha! Some people call it scroodles.
There is a Soodle joke to be made there.
now that more people are here, does anyone know when homeland starts up again?
October 23
that is still a ways away :(
homeland . . . sigh
Wait, I was wrong. September 29
do you know, they said they were postponing glee because cory monteith died, and i thought, sure, makes sense, and then it turned out they were postponing it only a WEEK!
crossy is sad.just finished all three seasons of lie to me on netflix.it is sad they axed that show as fast as they did:((

maybe 13 to become a member, super?
But, it didn't ask for my age at all!
You're playing as a guest right now, Super.
And I could be wrong...
No, just an account and no picture.
You have to pay to become a member...
No, just to be a pro.
According to law (COPPA Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) members under age 13 must have parental consent.
Got it, Molly. Thanks!
Which I got from, GreyWouLf my dad.
Don't know if that is enforced here, it should be.
/I did get parental consent. I get it for all of the accounts I sign up for.
Good, super...glad you're here.
Thanks. Last time I was on, no one payed attention to me.
good for your dad...like to see parents making sure kids are internet safe...
Sorry that happened superkitten!
I don't give ut my address.
And I like to see kids building their vocabulary ... SuperKitten. Glad you are babbling.
Sometimes I get caught up in searching for words and forget my manners and speak.
LOL, sometimes I do that too.
Just think about in 7 or 8 years you'll be taking the tests to enter college...your vocabulary will be very good for high scores!
I need a t word, and yuo think?

LOL...and there's our ruru!

Yoos! Leaving for NC tomorrow or tuesday

I like it a great deal, actually. very nice state, if you can get past the wanna be nascar drivers
we have those guys here too
lots of states do now =\
BUT! They also have a plethora of green trees! Like actual real green and not this sage weirdness!
but nascar drivers don't play rap music while they're driving
*files "sage weirdness" for future comments
=D
I now fully and truely understand why it is that people down here like colorful things here.
the Desert is its own beauty to me
I love the Desert
almost as much as the ocean
If you dont import/provide/acquire your own colors here... all you will see is 50 shades of brown... and blue skies... and cactus.
it's about the small things in the Desert
Oh it's gorgeous. I just *really* adore colors. And I miss them more than I thought I would here.
Have you ever read Desert Notes Moon?
I have not. Author?
Barry H. Lopez
It's okay Phae. People sign off all the time and are really still here.
it's a great read and will give you a greater appreciation for where you live
I shall order that for the trip, ty ru! I was thinking I should get something ^^
I actually have lived very very few places I didnt like. I just am also very due for real green and am excited!
I'm moving soon too
Oh yea? Ok. then im totally finishing my email to you today! I needs to hear about it!

nascar race is about to start so Iam leaving to watch it--have a good afternoon E1

hi, all. My husband an I are planning a two week vacation for our 20th anniversary (in a few years) to Hawaii. such fun!
wonderful, Angelsong!
ok, less than 1 minute left to 11+ hours left, back to less than a minute and now back to 11+ hours.. something funny going on
am getting frustrated.. a number of chat entries lost in cyberspace, so I'm going to lurk.. and try to enter words
what, no "snitty"?.. back to lurk mode..

hi everyone, late start here today :)
hi Kate
hi phae :)
jsut getting started, is the grid very friendly today?
not too bad
good! i was too tired to finish again yesterday, left about 30 fishies on the loose ;)
lol
hello kate and phae.
Is ruru till here? If you see him ask him if he's read the Barry Lopez book about wolves
ruby :) how are you doing today? you were very hot last time i saw you
he was here earlier Ruby
the weather broke but ithout any rain. It went from 100F to around 80%. What a pleasure!
80F
Hopefully, we'll get some much-needed rain but at least I was able to cut back the spirea
nice change! bet you could do with a bit of rain now though...
I keep watering my |"cheat" geraniums and tking off the spent blossoms and the roses are so surrounded by weeds that they haven't dried out
<-- loves my garden
cheat geraniums?
I buy flats of small geraniums when they are very cheap and put them into spaces in the border. I would never have thought of putting them in the ground but, with a little care, they flourish
phantom:zloty
oh, i see. i buy small cheap plants.. or ones that are half dead and 90% off... then nurse them along. worth the rewards :)
i am having choice paralysis
between what and what?
7 quilts
hi hurshy :)
colors?
hi
yeah colors patterns
I thought CHoice paralysis was a republican problem
I used to find old quilts at barn sales; by favorites were quilt tops that hadn't been used and didn't have backing Unfortunately, they were close at hand and I used two of them as dog shrouds.....
LOL ruru...hello again all, here for a few minutes break
ru: did you see my Barry Lopez quetio? His book about wolves?
I read that too ruby a great book.. RIver notes too

Of Wolves and Men
{{annie}}
hi annie and ruru :)
my favorite is Desert Notes.. a wonderful book to read again and again
thanks ruru
hi ((ruby)) and Kate
Desert Notes author? ruru
Barry Holsten Lopez
oh, same author, thanks
one of my most favorite books ever
I will be on Amazon later. It's a treasure to have a book that is beloved.
I keep loaning copies to friends and I never get them back. I bought two on Amazon and I'm not lending them to anyone anymore :D
time to keep one for yourself. :)
I just checked amazon France and they only have desert notes i kindle format
I'd love to meet him someday.. a visionary writer
real friends ALWAYS return borrowed books, because they know how much you love them
That's the advantage to e-books....lending doesn't lead to loss
I'll go to Amazon UK later and try to order it
I like a book in my hand.
me, too, especially lying down
me too, it's a tactile thing...
if I'm lying down >>I'm not thinking of reading
i love holding a book
me too annie
am going to reboot router.. bbs I hope..

Have a good evening Nan : )
bye...
housemates are home :(
all good things must come to an end....
I reallly, really enjoyed the peace and quiet
Time to get your own place, Peri.
my main income is SS so it would have to be really inexpensive
it would be nice to have someone to share expenses with
I had my own place for a long time
The ideal situation is sharing a place with a roommate who is rarely home. : )
yep, that would be good
It's hard to find people to share housing with when you get to a certain age.
yes it is.
take in a Japanese or Korean female student peri. Their families pay lots of money for you to house them and they are always off with their friends. Usually, other nice kids.
so I am tolerating the situatio as best I can
I would if I could but this is not my house
lo5/10 pla
lo + past tense of speedy walking
The problem is, there is very little affordable and decent housing for single people on limited/fixed incomes.
ty Bugs
same in Canada Molly
very true, I have looked into some and they are not appealing. What I like, I cannot afford
Peri, when I win the lottery, I will buy you a nice house near the beach. : D
If you can find it, the comlex is usually full of drunks or druggies
aw, very sweet Molly.
The Golden Girls had a good idea. Three or four ladies move into the best house out of all of them but have their own private rooms and right to a private life.
I can see myself being very happy in that kind of set up, with the right kind of women.
key words: right kind of women
and that is the key Molly - the right kind of women.
clue for the first ha 512 please
ni6 pls
snap peri
I have 27 left
no, you snap. I said it first :)
a Hawaiian word for white man NANCY

hi crossy...
howdy,penquis
we cook yes but the fridge is bare.. cant get any food til next weekend ugh .. i need to go to te store tomorrow and get some stuff to make do for a week. thinking a bag of frozen chicken and a bag of potatoes will do fine with a loaf of bread
my da always said that when you are broke and can only buy a bit,to get a bag of taters and a dozen eggs.they will make many meals
oh yes. a bag of taters u can make anything.. tons of meals outo f it
and they're delicious :P
we have started making our own bread.the pre-made stuff is now going for $2.99 a loaf here.i decided i can do better than that on my onw
i get ours at walmart for 99 cents... but yeah we need to find a bead maker too
look up the panasonic rd-250.it is the best breadmaker you can find on the net for under 100 dollars and it has good reviews
there is not view window,it is a tad large but it has a auto yeast feeder that make everything dead easy
let me see if i can get you the url
oh we'll be buying one at the thrift store :P
we cant afford brand new things for a while sadly lol
hello all
http://tinyurl.com/lgwn2ll well,when you are ready,this is it.this years model is a tad more expensive but still a good breadmaker for the buck.
can i get a clue for the last te7 please.. hello jilly
howdy ,jilly
ok thanks.. ryan likes applicances so he'll be interested
just add a letter to the previous te....
i researched it pretty heavily,so trust crossy:))

number after 9 + plural letter + not a town but a c***....
thanks!
yw...
ty,penquis
ugh still 88 to go
our wally-mart budget brat is around $1.99but is nasty stuff.i think they use too muc yeast and after 3 or 4 days in the bread box ,it gets this nasty smell that reminds me of acetone
bread*
mostly avoid wal-mart like the plague

lol,google it was quite the underground folling for a decade or so
mm,crossy needs a ghost typist

kinda a let down
thank!
i mean thanks! lol
yw...
can someone clue the second ti 6/21 please?
Not the scarecrow, not the lion...
ty for putting me out of my misery!...i am done!
R's done! 49 to go. wtg penq
ty...:oD
I buy my breadmakers on the inexpensive side because all I use them for is the dough. I bake everything in the oven.
thats an interesting way to do it. i may have to try that. i like it out of the oven better.
I am weird. I don't like the shape of the loaves that breadmakers produce. And I make a lot of rolls and French bread, and those you have to do in the oven anyway.
it is interesting.this maker has a dough feature to stop it mid-stride.i may try that
and im sure the aroma from the oven is a bonus
Cos, do you have Bed Bath and Beyond out there?
There may be one on the north side of town where they keep building all these box stores
I havent been to one since we moved to Colorado
With one of their 20% off coupons, you can get a breadmaker pretty cheap there. Otherwise, Amazon is your best bet, if you have prime free shipping.
oh good idea. i am always getting their coupons in the weekly circulators
i make bread by hand, i have a very good cold rise method
a bit on the heavier side but great toasted
i have an off the point question/ need some advice
Go for it
as some of you know i have an interview tues... the question that always kills me is what is my greatest weakness..... how would you recommend I answer?
I hate that interview question, it is such BS.
may i ask the job title or what it entails?
I always want to tell them that my greatest weakness is talking about my weaknesses.
pick something that you can talk about... something that you can point out what you are doing to compensate for it or improve it....
dorm supervisor, colorado school for the deaf and blind
aka glorified babysitter 3pm-11pm suns thu thurs
"I often feel like asking questions makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing. But I have found that I learn by asking questions, so I am making a point to do more of that now."
something you can turn into a strength depending on the situation
right..like bluntness?
you could work with that
I could say it could show the kids that its good to be honest at all times
too honest sometimes?.. working on making your points in ways that they will be well received....
I am also hyper and that can be a weakness in some fields but i think in a setting full of children that coud be good
i think i would avoid hyper....hyper people are often disorganized and impulsive...don't want to give that impression....
i agree
Okay.. will forget that
something about good feedback, to the point, i am brainstorming here. you can work it
thats the question that always stumps me.
write down points as you think of them, don't evaluate just write and when you are out of ideas review them
okay.. just write as many as i think of then.. then weed them out
then you can expand upon them . re brainstorm
okay sounds like a plan thanks!
just make sure you come up with something you can talk about if they ask about weaknesses....don't want to look like you don't think you have any or that you don't want to talk about them....
yw. try googling, monster etc wll have tips
never use the word weakness in your answer, i do remember that
"I tend to...." or???
talk about something you are working on improving....rather than something you are weak in....
i've found that i...
too trusting?
storm approaching. no bakery. and no babble soon.

I just gave up this afternoon
if i wanted to see red boxes, i'd look under the christmas tree... not in babble :(
hate 'em
hello dear friends. may I have the count for the lone n in the fourth row please?
i'll reload and see if it helps, i have had a fair number of red box times these last few weeks....
hi trif :) don't have it, sorry

ne 4/4
It's the Hawaiian bird
oh, it is ni5.10

but thanks jellen
i have the bird, but not the lone n
Whoops!
Sorry
ni 5/10
Think it's Japanese...
got it. ugh.
and thanks. everyone well?
I'm okay...
any sweetie pie updates? i haven't seen you for a while... last i heard you went over for (bbq?) and met the kids...
me?
or jellen?
Little frustrated with Josh atm.
hi folks!
hello welki!
jellen.... but you too tfif!
Hi, welki
hi welki :)
hi welki
why the frustration ?
Ah, well. He agrees to do things, then backs out.
I spend a lot of time waiting around.
Josh = sweetie pie? (guy in the pic? looks like a marine)
i expect you would very much like to spend more time with him...
He is a marine...
FIRST RULE JELLEN... live your life... do not spend your time waiting for him. if he values you and your company he will make plans and stick to them if at all possible
Good advice, Kate...
we've all done it...sat by the phone and waited for it to ring...i'm at the top of the list there... :(
wow, good advice kate!
kate's on the money, jellen
I've packed four times for overnight trips that didn't happen...;(
live, love and learn....it's harder to take the advice (especially unsolicited) than it is to dispense it....
reasons for the cancellation jellen? his kids aren't that old, are they with him full time?
that's four too many times, jellen. you lived the last (fill in the number) years without him, you can live the next (fill in the number) years without him -- harsh, but true
It's sometimes the kids. More particularly, his irresponsible ex not picking them up.
have you met his children yet jellen?
sounds like a pattern - i understand that exes can be a p.i.t.a. about visitation, but you said that 'sometimes' it's the kids. what about the other times?
Yes, I have met all his kids once.
that's always going to be a problem jellen.. you're gonna have to deal with the ex form here on in if you stay.. is she aware of you yet? is she submarining you?
I think she knows about me. And she might be submarining me, but I think it's a preexisting pattern.
remember jellen, this is a very NEW relationship, frankly i am surprised that an overnight has been talked about.. so soon. remember he has the kids to think of, so that should naturally slow down the speed of the progression of the relationship... any chance you have pushed a bit for an away night, and he's trying to placate you; though he really isn't yet comfortable with it?
Sometimes it's other family obligations.
how old are the children?
He does try to placate me too much, I think.
hello all
hi TO :)
Kids are 9, 7, 3, and 1.
Hi, TO.
Hello again...time to finish! Hello TO, ((jellen)), welki and TK
holy moly! that's a lot of kids
why do you think that he tries to placate you too much jellen? (shrink question, lol)
hi jilly :)
yes, jellen should be hugged ((((((jellen)))))) - this isn't going to be an easy go of it, no matter how it turns out
very true welki {{{{((((JELLEN)))}}}
Not sure, Kate.
Hi, Jilly
htough i must say, i think she is up to the challenge...
Telephone call from mom in law...brb
Hi every one hows it going did you guys miss me
gotta take a bit of a break... still miles to goi and my dinner has gotten cold :(
Hi rocky
Hi jellen how have you been
I've been okay, thanks.
well, jellen - allow as much time/concession as you're ready to give and, after that, do your plus/minus list and decide which direction you want to go
may i have a clue pls for in5/10 after the prisoners pls?
Dear lord that was the 5th confused phone call today....so sad to see my m-i-l deteriorating.
in+reviewer of writings +vowel
jilly is that for me?
actually, make that an action of reviewing ed4/5
yep TO
asked for in 5/1- ater the prisoners
The one after the inmates is in + ready *** go
in 5/10 = in + put your hair in rollers
Oops, I meant prisoners. Off to the PB with me.

hi ru
hi welki
Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
hi minver.. i'm fine..hope you're doing well.. have they told you where you are teaching yet?
Hi ruru and min i'm back from camp for a few day so i'm going to be on babble
Hello rocky12!How are you doing today?How is camp going
No, I have not heard yet where I will be teaching next year
Just remember 72 Temple Owl, that PB is always ne 4/4by!
anyone need a clue or two before i call it a night?
hi min!
Hello cosdem! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.
Camp is awesome how are things with you min
my favorite camp activities were archery and glee club LOL :-)
Hi Uneaixoise! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.
glee club?
hey min
I took archery, but I did not like it much. I liked swimming.
yep, like chorus
oh..
loved archery, min -- even won my "sheriff's badge" :-)
I am doing well rocky12.I have 3 more days left of summer school.I am looking forward to some down time next week
my point being, ru, that I was not "tres sportive" LOL
<--i got kicked out of cub scouts
I was never kicked out of anything 'til this year when I had to leave the building that I worked in for the past 9 years.
spent many years in scouts -- my mom was our leader (and a terrific one!)
what happened minver?
min, i got downsized back in 2005 after working for the same organization (in various capacities) for 30 yrs
I feel like I was kicked out. It was not my choice to leave.
not a good feeling -- so sorry, min
My school has been a failing school for many years so they finally had to reorganize the staff.50% had to go and I was part of the 50 percent that had to go unfortunately.
:-(
There are 2 schools in the district that got reorganized.I have a feeling that I'll just go to the other failing school in the district. Still waiting to hear about my placement.
I put in a grievance with my union because the district is so not doing the right thing according to the teacher contract
Even though I am annoyed with district,I am thankful I still have a job. I try to be positive & keep things in perspective
hope all ends well for you, min :-)
Thanks Uneaixoise!
Since nobody is asking for clues I am signing out. I leave U with a story of clues in profile in case you need it later on.
Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I will see you tomorrow.
good night min :)
hi all
hi joso, how-a-by-you? :)
hows the grid going kate?
good TK, someone told me that you are considering a visit to TO, you'r not considering returning home with a shaggy black beast, caus that is just not on.
well... it could be better, i've been in and out all day, but still 80 to go. working the list; downto the di words (working backwards)
i would never dream of taking your beloved shadow!!! harrrumphhhh! ;) but i would love to meet him if possible
no real plans to hit TO in the next while, feelers out for a meet up though..finally got in touch with joshuaviborus (or however you spell it, lol)
absolutely, he loves meeting people. To him any new folk are just another petting opportunity.
ah! i know a do or two that thinks exactly the smae way.. anything for a good ear scratch or belly rub ;)
*dog
we can stroll the boardwalk!
if it comes together I would like to join, can host if it helps. Scrab said you would be traveling by public inconvenience, can pick you up at bus or train station if it helps.
that would be a great help joso.. especially if we are going to meet somewhere "central" that puts it out in the boonies somewhere.. and i know crossy doesn't like the big cities...
i htink josh is east of you -whitby maybe? can't remember... crossy is in cottage country. indiajan and carleekat are in london area
is he north or south of Georgian bay?
crossy that is
south shore, not so bad... i don't know if he "advertises where he lives..
2 hour drive
..s o i won't say here.. we should set up one of those group e-mail thingies...
he's mentioned Georgian bay, but getting here from the north side or south side is a world of difference
ya, we tossed around a few different ideas, but i haven't seen the london area contingent in a while, so i don't know if they're on board. crossy sees them more because they are on during the day. probably wouldn't be until the traffic dies down a bit. maybe mid september? still nice weather for a patio cruise ;)
sounds nice, please keep me in the loop
if i do find myself wandering toward TO i will certainly let you know though. i do have an errand up that way, but no definite time frame for it.
i think the go train runs until the end of september, have to check. otherwise go bus, canada coach or via rail
or a passing american babbler
lol, it could happen! you never know with these babbling types ;)
if any driving from the states there is a good chance they pass near you
shameless is starting soon, i may fade in and out....too bad it's on so late :( i should be in bed, or at least finishing hte grid...still 73 here but into the de words now :)
seems to be a lot more cross-border babbling on the west coast joso...they're always meeting up here and there. another one is in the works now i think
where is scrab from?
she's southern tier outside buffalo a bit
easy travelling distance :) i'd love to meet scrabs!
she was who told me, sounded like she was planning to come
i know she got up to niagara falls ny not long ago. she was meeting ???? can't remember now... it'll come to me...
she may be planning to come this way again, dunno. she sounds busy doing the finger lakes etc.
i will have to ask her next time i see her.. or if you see her first...
oooh found a 7 :)
I'll mention it next time I see her
ty joso, i have only seen her in passing a few times lately. see more of her in the fb feed...
me mentioning gives her an easier way to say no if she wants
no pressure request.
i don't think she'll have any problem saying no if she doesn't want to come, but she is very busy
Nana
hi naches :)
Hi joso
hints on the ge 7/36 please? the first one...
Not a great clue ge 7 36 drop the last vowel from the ge 5 above+ rip-e
ge4 + two vowels + hump
Hi, everyone! (((Kate))) Tried to em you on Fri. but the em address didn't go through.
{{{mimi}}} thsat's twice your e-mails didn't go through.. hmm i get other's. maybe just too busy with e-mail spam?
ty book and cos.. trying to grt it now
the heavens just opened upwide here! it's raining cats and dogs :)
It seems to work when I reply to yours, though. Send me one soon. And I soooo wish I could join you guys for the meet up there! One of my best friends is in Edmonton right now at a conference either about the planet Pluto or meteororites...forget which.
Wouldn't mind a puppy or kitten here.......
lol, i know you know edmonton is ages away from here mimi ;) (don't tell anyone, but htey demoted pluto, no longer a planet ;) lol mimi, you don't get much rain there do you?
you never know mimi, i could win a lottery... it could happen ;)
i have a feeling these are fishy... he 6/21, he 7/32 (combo?) i have the other he words...
My friend is a tenured prof in astrophysics and gets NASA grants all the time so he goes all over the world for conferences. Just came back from Chile where he received a very prestigious invitation to use their telescope which is supposed to now be the best in the world.
Yeah, I know it's far, Kate. Kind of like if someone says they're going to visit Chicago and someone says, "Well I have a friend in Florida." And, no, not nearly enough rain this year. One day of monsoon weather when we should have a couple of weeks...sad.
Moonwuff and I are going to have a mini-meetup around Christmas here in Scottsdale. Maybe we can get some of the western folks to join us. Pretty time of year in December.
does your friend want an aide de camp? i'd love to see the observatory in chile, i have read a bit about it, though htese days it's all about the computers doing the calculations to "see" rather than peeinr through a lens :( i just sent you a "blank e-mail" for you to bounce back to me mimi
OK, gotta go and get some rest...early day tomorrow. Good to touch base. Oh, and hi, cosdem--it's been a while. Anyway, later, and hugs all around. Send me an em, Kate.
you should get ruru to come...he's one of the closer ones to you, isn't he?
{{{{mimi}}}} sweet sleeps see ya soon
i have a feeling these are fishy... he 6/21, he 7/32 (combo?) i have the other he words... if anyone can clue please?
If he did need need one, Kate, I'd be first in line! Yes, I'd like to get ruru and Jilly and ibdawg and kje..etc. But we were thinking about a meet in northern CA for that one....I adore that area.
Night and poof!
i'm sure you guys will have a blast! such a good bunch out that way :)
