12:53 am

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen him since I moved here, actually

12:53 am

12:53 am

yes

12:54 am

12:54 am

12:56 am

poof #3!

12:56 am

he's more current than that kje you clicked on the wrong tab

1:10 am

did I kill the chat or something?

1:13 am

*wonders how much time a player can get for Killing the Chat*

1:13 am

Yes, ruru. You killed the chat. lol

1:14 am

Oh Wow.. Jellen@

1:14 am

hi

1:14 am

How are you.. haven't seen you in forever

1:14 am

Hi!

1:14 am

I'm okay. Been preoccupied.

1:14 am

g'day jellen. ruru you didn't kill the chat, mate.

1:15 am

with good stuff I hope

1:15 am

Hi rose!

1:15 am

lovely to see you hun.

1:15 am

Some good, some not. But I'm hanging in.

1:17 am

Hi all :)

1:17 am

g'day liz girl

1:18 am

Hi Rose - so glad the light seems to be at the end of the tunnel :)

1:18 am

not as glad as i am, liz

1:18 am

oh.. I'm sorry to hear about the not so good. Glad you are ok

1:19 am

Cartwheels sound good.

1:19 am

*giggle*

1:19 am

I have a new dog, ruru.

1:20 am

oh.. nice.. your other dog was really cute

1:20 am

what kind of dog?

1:20 am

She's a blue nose pit named Freya.

1:20 am

you like that breed huh?

1:21 am

they kind of scare me.. even though I know the breed is mostly about the owner and training

1:21 am

5 1/2 months old. She was a present from Josh. Yes, I like pits.

1:22 am

what's the latest GR?

1:23 am

ruru, lodged all the paperwork for disability support pension today, except the medical report, which is being done next week.

1:24 am

and the jackass dr who said i wasn't well enough to work?? i nominated him to be interviewed by the department...lol...

1:24 am

fantastic... is that a loss for you to not be able to work again.. or are you okay with that?

1:24 am

lol :)

1:24 am

ruru, not really a loss, although i loved my job. i just hate the way it was done.

1:25 am

oh. ok.

1:29 am

so is Don still working? I would guess so?

1:30 am

he'll love coming home to you barefoot and in the kitchen :D

1:30 am

no ruru. he was made to take a redundancy package 2 years ago. he is drawing a pension from his superannuation.

1:31 am

roflol....and definitely not pregnant.

1:31 am

what did he do.. what's a redundancy package? Ok.. you come home to him barefoot and in an apron instead

1:33 am

ruru, he was the communications officer for an university. that means he did everything, photography, still and fast action, door signs, converting thesis to dvd, anything in the way of communicating. he has 2 degrees and 2 diplomas.

1:34 am

redundancy package...the employer pays the worker out for the rest of his working life. plus a bonus usually.

1:35 am

it means with all the n ew technology available don's work was no longer needed as the students etc could do it all themselves.

1:35 am

A "good" way for a company to cut back on labour!

1:37 am

oh.. how do I sign up for that>

1:40 am

Could I have a clue for yo 5/18? I'm rusty!

1:40 am

mate, being told you are no longer necessary to that employer is most unpleasant. especially after years of service. at least don had a farewell dinner.

1:41 am

jellen, yo + most of actor who doesn't speak

1:41 am

You don't always get the package you deserve, either.

1:41 am

yo + not dad with another vowel

1:41 am

Yomarleematlin

1:41 am

damn it

1:42 am

yeah, right, ruru

1:42 am

BBL

1:43 am

I guess that would be hard to take GR.. I'm sorry for you and Don too.

1:43 am

bye liz

1:43 am

Thanks. That is a new one for me.

1:43 am

Thanks. That is a new one for me.

1:43 am

maybe you can both be barefoot and in aprons and in the kitchen

1:43 am

welcome jellen

1:44 am

ruru i know we are not indispensible, but a touch of kindness wouldn't have gone astray.

1:44 am

yeah.. your employer sounds like they have real humanity issues

1:46 am

thanks for the yo ru!

1:48 am

<--saanich doing her Sylvester Stallone impersonation

1:49 am

hah!

2:12 am

a measly few for tomorrow; fun small grid! Goodnight rose, ru, jellen!

2:13 am

G'night

4:19 am

{{hugs}} darling ruby

4:19 am

how are you both today?

4:20 am

{{rosie}} I am so happy with your news. Paperwork is a killer! Take it from someone who knows. lol

4:20 am

i knew you would understand, ruby

4:26 am

I am so tired. When Lisa was here and was making me do huge amounts of yard work, I slightly tore one of the thi chest muscles and am still suffering from it.

4:27 am

It is very annoying, especially when I walk miss stufforn, headstrong Raffie

4:27 am

ouch ruby. do you have some arnica cream?

4:27 am

stubborn*

4:28 am

Good idea. I will buy some when we go ut for lunch; there's A PHARMACY NEXT DOOR TO THE RESTO

4:28 am

whoops, sorry for caps

4:28 am

lolol.....ruby.....i'm just here.

4:28 am

4:28 am

4:29 am

4:30 am

preferably your knickers....roflol

4:30 am

it's that darned crooked pinkie!

4:30 am

it's that darned crooked pinkie!

4:32 am

is un sh** when you return something yu bought?

4:33 am

you'd think so, wouldn't you?

4:35 am

it's funny how a low-grade pain can wear you down

4:35 am

it is only a 4 or so, but is constant

4:36 am

can you take some paracetamol or ibuprofen? just to break the cycle?

4:37 am

I take codeine + paracetemol every morning for my back and it doesn't touch this pain

4:37 am

I have a total pharmacy chez moi!

4:38 am

good morning everyone:)

4:38 am

ibuprofen then. you can have it at the same time. it acts in a different way.

4:38 am

g'day crossy

4:38 am

{{crossy}} hello and bye; I'm on my way out

4:38 am

(have become obsolete lol)

4:39 am

4:39 am

{{rosie}}

4:39 am

lolol....* lUnch *

4:40 am

good morning all

4:40 am

whoot, {{hugs}} sprite. are you here for long?

4:41 am

when is your appointment?

4:41 am

((sprite, Rose, Ruby))

4:41 am

hi sweetie, just returned from the hospital, am here for the whole grid. Tiny grid though.

4:41 am

oh, nice sprite. yeah it's not too bad

4:42 am

*hugs rose and crossy*

4:42 am

pain doctor wants to hospitalise me, and put me on a ketamine infusion to get some sort of pain control back.

4:43 am

sounds good, rose. Not fun, but good. He clearly sees a way to treat you, that is good news.

4:44 am

* giggle * and you should hear him on the subject of what workcover have done to me. i think he is going to tear their throats out.

4:44 am

oh that is so wonderful. I love it. Nothing like a roaring tiger on your side.

4:44 am

he is such a lovely man, and truly feels incensed on my behalf.

4:45 am

I like him already

4:45 am

indeed. it is from your doctor those all important papers will flow to aid your case

4:46 am

and how about all that paperwork? huh ? i am so proud of me. i felt the stress literally falling away after my appointment this morning.

4:46 am

phantom: omnibus

4:46 am

glad all went well, rose

4:46 am

am so glad you have that behind you, rose. Well done.

4:47 am

thanx you two. i can't believe i did it!!

4:47 am

well you did, and you should be very proud. It is not a small thing.

4:48 am

i was so nauseated, and all my muscles were quivering when i went out this morning. but afterwards.....it was like a wand had been waved over me.

4:49 am

it is incredible what stress will do to a body

4:49 am

one has to be so strong and healthy to apply for disability benefits...

4:50 am

i know you two understand. there are some who don't, and judge me for falling in a heap.

4:50 am

ture words... took ten full year to get my wifes disability up and running

4:50 am

lolol, sprite, such an oxymoron

4:50 am

let them judge. They have no freaking idea what they are talking about.

4:51 am

crossy, they are going to put me on new start, but with an incapacity to work condition attached. so i don't have to show i have been looking for work.

4:51 am

that is well

4:51 am

am writing a symbolic book about ptsd. And at some point, the protagonist is hanging at a cliff, by her fingernails, while her boss is asking why the hell she isn't at work.

4:52 am

not only would the boss be asking whay she is not at work, but would also ask her to quit hanging around and fet a cup of coffee

4:52 am

that's a pretty good description of how you and i live, sprite

4:52 am

get

4:53 am

and rose, appointments like this take everything out of you. You need to rest up. I cannot stress it enough. Don't treat it like any other appointment. Treat it like the marathon it is.

4:54 am

yes crossy, exactly. How often aren't we made to feel like having to explain that YES, water is wet!

4:56 am

okay, sprite. tomorrow is my day out with girlfriend for lunch. not planning on much else.

4:56 am

lol, crossy, exactly

4:56 am

very good, dear friend. That is just the right thing to do. Enjoy :D

5:06 am

stupid hiccup

5:07 am

wb dear

5:18 am

where did you go sprite?

5:18 am

5:20 am

5:22 am

oh yes, that is so fascinating

5:25 am

5:26 am

5:26 am

Hello, Molly

6:17 am

They call it Indian summer but there are no Indians

6:18 am

Ugh, if the politically correct bean heads probably now call it "indigenous summer"

6:18 am

7:17 am

crossy ar.e you there. I ran cache cleaner and it deleted Babble expert from my computer

7:23 am

Babble Expert...r46.me/BabbleClues.html

7:24 am

The problem with C cleaner is that it deletes a lot of your saved sites and saved passwords

7:25 am

That only brings me to the clues, not the download for Babble expert. Crossy had the download site

7:25 am

That's never happened to me before

Could I get a clue for ep6, please?

7:28 am

ep + similar words sy****

7:29 am

Sorry...r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zi\np

7:36 am

Good Morning Everyone. this is a fun grid so far. :-)

10:17 am

Hello, Nef.It is not a bad grid.Down to 26!

10:18 am

I'm have 44 left but need to take DH to the doctor in about 5 minutes. I'm hoping I'll have time to finish today

10:20 am

Fly by Babble player : D

10:21 am

yep. I thought I'd have time once my grandson was in school; but DH has been sick again (I'm finding he takes up as much time as the kid let!

10:21 am

Yes, men are like that : D

10:22 am

BBL (I hope) Happy Babbling Everyone!

10:22 am

Nice to see you around Nef

10:22 am

Toodle pips, Nef :-)

10:38 am

Just looked back in the chat log a little way. Thank you for the YO5!

10:45 am

A Hebrew word I had never heard. I've heard the singular, but not the plural.

10:53 am

Finding it hard to find what it means. As far as I can see it might have to do with holidays?

10:56 am

Yo3 means day. Yo5 means days.

10:57 am

Yes Molly and Yomayim means two days

10:58 am

Ahh thank you, Molly!

10:58 am

I still haven't found a way to down load Babble Expert after my debacle this AM

10:58 am

The link I gave you doesn't work?

10:59 am

I tried putting in hebrew yo5 into gogle but it just would not play ball.kept coming up with the alternative spelling.

10:59 am

No, it doesn't lead you to the dowload to Expert. Crossy sent it to me the last time but the link has expired. Trying to get a hold of him

11:00 am

Maybe Google doesn't do Hebrew

11:00 am

http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8

That is the only one I know, Bichon.

That makes a change for me to be faster than you..lol

11:02 am

You're welcome, Bichon.

11:02 am

Either you had it all tiny urled up and ready to go or you type like the wind

11:03 am

It's handy to save that link somewhere in case you have troubles again. UUSue has the link in her profile as well.

11:03 am

I went to a babblers profile page and copied and pasted.

11:04 am

There seems to be a few babblers who have it in their profile page.

11:04 am

In...on..what ever :-)

11:07 am

I just did that, ty again

11:11 am

It's too bad there is not a link to a Babble Help page at the bottom with things like this link, what NBT and NBS mean and other, frequently asked questions. Angelsong's page is outdated and frequently not available

11:11 am

That would be great Molly

11:12 am

sheesh is not a word!

11:13 am

I use it all the time

11:17 am

Sheesh...American slang...not accepted...arvo...Australian slang...accepted...go figure. I would say sheesh is used far more than arvo.

Awww, we're sorry, that is a trip to the PB for Jill.

3:22 pm

How lovely, Jilly. Lucky you. Enjoy, m'dear.

3:23 pm

O too true Soodle...getting older aint for wimps!

3:23 pm

Tis an ill wind. Now I have the su5/14....

I wish everyone would post the number of words total for us who do not have a membership at the very beginnings with your "flip" comments

3:25 pm

97 today...

3:25 pm

97 VX..

3:25 pm

all you have to do is ask... :o)

Ask every day tho? "97" sounds a lot better than "flip"

3:26 pm

But all you have to do is ask....plus we all would encourage you to become a member...cheap for your lifetime!! :)

3:26 pm

There was a clue in my post @ 3.17, VSX....

3:26 pm

And now with 43 left and nbt/nbs...I must go tend my friends garden!

3:26 pm

*poof*

3:27 pm

Bye Jill. Have fun!

3:27 pm

I was saying earlier, it's too bad there is not a link to a page with frequently asked questions (NBT, NBS, how many words, etc) that would update daily. Kind of a "bulletin board"

3:28 pm

yes, that would be very helpful to new people....

3:31 pm

Very good idea Molly.

Well I would think that typing "97" with flip wouldn't be that painstaking for you guys. Altho I'm not a drill sergeant either so the option of a separate page or a mere 2-3 character comment is up to you

3:34 pm

I agree, and if I were around at flip time, I would be glad to do it. Alas, I am usually asleep then.

3:35 pm

so am i, lol....

3:35 pm

My Mom (84) had a fall the other day & broke a bone in her ankle. She is not the most patient of patients. Meanwhile, back in the Nursing Home, my 86 yr old Dad is trying to organise an escape. I'm moithered!

3:35 pm

Oh man, if I were over there I would go bust your Dad out in a heartbeat. : D

3:37 pm

But seriously folks, I had both of my 80 some odd year old parents in assisted care at one time and I know how overwhelming it can be.

3:37 pm

VX....asking how many words there are is not painstaking either....as you saw, a few people quickly answered your question....

3:38 pm

Well, bring a hoist with you, Molls, cos that's the only way he can be moved from A to B. Me heart's broke!

3:38 pm

sorry, Soodle....i hear ya....

3:39 pm

And, VX, many non registered players ask for the word total. There is never an issue, as Pen said.

I know but going through the effort of asking when potentially no one is around to receive/answer it might be a little frustrating.. as opposed to a click at "Archives" and viewing the first few comments that are already there and said

Plus, I'd prefer not to chat at all

3:40 pm

there is almost always someone around...

3:40 pm

Thanks Pen. I'm under pressure at the moment, & a tad tetchy... In case you hadn't noticed!! Lol

3:41 pm

np...

Right but the points I'm trying to make sort of remains intact I think. It's more convenient when it's already there and easily findable

point*

3:42 pm

yes, but probably no one will remember....and probably no one here now will be at the flip...

Right, which is why I encourage this message to be passed along to everyone, but who am I to demand and say anything.

3:43 pm

How long have you been playing, VSX?

Word games or here?

3:44 pm

hallo :)

3:44 pm

hi harry...

3:45 pm

hi pen :)

3:45 pm

We,,, here specifically... & hi Harry :-)

3:45 pm

cloudy day - looks like rain!

3:45 pm

hola soodle

Intermittently over 6-7 years.

3:48 pm

i am done... :oD

3:48 pm

missing the Y and U - could I get stats pls?

3:48 pm

yay pen!

3:49 pm

ty....yo 5/18

3:49 pm

un 4/7

3:49 pm

my argentian officemate asked me today if I went to jail. I used to live in New Haven, so she thought I went to school at yale.

3:50 pm

*wondering why New Haven = Yale = going to jail*....

3:51 pm

she's argentian. Yale = jail

3:51 pm

got the Y

3:51 pm

Hello again. I'm back from all my running around. I now have about 5 minutes before the grandson explodes through the door.

3:52 pm

and the U! nbt :) ty pen

3:52 pm

yw, harry...

3:52 pm

hi nef...

3:52 pm

Oh, joo seeely American man, joo.

3:53 pm

I was a little taken aback at first. no I didn't go to jail!

3:54 pm

May I say something to VXS? It costs less than $15 US ONCE to get full membership here for your lifetime. For those of us that are members, the word stats and tiles stats are totally visible. Please join and support the game if you like it.

3:54 pm

Joo go go jail, Senor Hood?

I can't afford my own rent, Nef. I have to budget my food to the cent. Thanks tho.

3:56 pm

Just to clarify, joining is a personal preference that does make it easier to play. However it does nothing to "support the game".

3:56 pm

Well if you need info (like how many P words there are), just ask...

3:56 pm

Molly I don't understand your profile msg. What is ****?

3:57 pm

Using *'s in clues...as in usi** stars in cl***

My point completely bypassed everyone. I guess adopting a new meme at the start of every "flip" is too much. Understandable.

3:57 pm

ah - I hadn't parsed the sentence correctly.

3:57 pm

I'm sorry about that, VXS. There are some members who pay for another persons membership if they have a hardship; but if you don't chat no one knows you….

I'd prefer not to chat, Nef

3:58 pm

I think it's a great idea, but I have no idea how you would go about getting people to do it on a regular basis.

Today is the exception because I have a complaint.

3:59 pm

VXS, most of the people here at this time of day are not here in 8 hours. If you could ask this at flip time, I'm sure some of them will try to do so.

4:01 pm

And Molly, when I used the term "support the game" I meant that Dr_God came up with the game and it's nice if he makes some money off of it.

4:01 pm

29 to go. bbl!

4:03 pm

VXS, I'm sporadically on here at the flip. I'll try to mention it to some of the usual suspects (& I'll try to remember to be here around that time tonight too)

4:03 pm

Apologies Nef. I was just going on what has been stated here, that Dr. God no longer makes enough money from this to invest in any updates.

4:03 pm

I'm not usually here at this time of day

4:04 pm

Which is sad, isn't it Molly?

4:05 pm

it's the nature of the internet. Discussion boards and game boards are dying all over the place due to Facebook.

4:17 pm

hi all, Dr.G doesn't do the game to make money. He'd like to but, he's realistic enough to just do it along with iron Sudoku and some other pet things he does.

4:18 pm

That was the roundabout point I was trying to make, that it's not a money maker

4:18 pm

Well the 'Flip' happens @ 6.00 am my time. If i am awake/alive, I will try to remember to give the word count. But, be warned, it will be sporadic.

Thanks Soodle. If it was a meme known by everyone, everyone might do it

4:19 pm

hi again - was called away - 5 to go

4:19 pm

And, if a few people start doing it, it might catch on with others.

For example. "Flip 97"

"163 flip"

4:20 pm

That beats flippity doo dah with a big ole stick : D

I don't need any clues or features offered by buying this, just the total word count

4:21 pm

to 6/27 please?

4:21 pm

Lol! If it's a big grid, & Lickety is not up, it could be F*** 370, not Flip 370!

4:21 pm

Oh duh, I just thought of something. The word count is always on Lickety, that is a free site.

4:21 pm

nm found it

That's sufficient Molly, ty

4:22 pm

Yeah, Molly, but Lickety can be as sporadic as Soodle...

4:23 pm

Very nice icon, btw, Molls.

4:23 pm

un 4 - stupid stupid .... hesitate to call it a word!

4:24 pm

I have to be careful not to look at too much September 11th stuff, it can get me very depressed.

Then why remember it at all every year?

4:25 pm

I didn't say it was not worth remembering. I said that the pictures make me sad.

4:27 pm

vxs - it was one of the worst acts of terrorism in history and should never be forgotten!!

4:28 pm

ep 6, please?

4:30 pm

nm - found it

4:32 pm

*!* ta da *!*

4:33 pm

bye everyone - see you tomorrow :-)

Could I get a clue for sh6/24, please?

5:12 pm

sh 4/6, plural

5:13 pm

The pictures of 9/11 make me very sad also, Molly. The chilling memories of 9/11 will stay with me forever. Tributes to those who died should continue as long as breath remains in our bodies.

5:13 pm

And look who is back!! Jellen! How lovely to see you((()))

5:14 pm

Hi, Soodle!

thanks

5:15 pm

Long time no see Jellen. Hope you are well & happy?

5:16 pm

I am, thanks!

5:16 pm

:-)

5:23 pm

may I have a clue for the U? I am just not seeing it

5:23 pm

UN + to ** or not to **...

5:24 pm

well, that explains it then ... relatively certain that is not part of my vocabulary

hello, all

5:38 pm

Hey TO. Still 'lolling' @ Alycia''s comment @ 5.24.

15 left.

name that proper name - brand of ale made by monks.

oops - one letter off!

5:44 pm

Here in these United States when we are "lolling" we are lounging around.

5:45 pm

As in, I have nothing to do today so I will just be lolling about the pool. (In my dreams)

5:46 pm

TO, did you mean Chimay Ale?

yes.

5:48 pm

Monks, they make bread, jam, wine and ale. What's not to love?

5:48 pm

Sorry. Let me rephrase. Still laughing out loud at what at what Alycia said at 5.24. Oh, dear God in Heaven, what I would not give to be lolling on a sunbed right now

5:49 pm

Oh, I think they make cheese too.

5:50 pm

Internet Philosophy 101...how often is someone really "laughing out loud" when they (continually) post LOL?

5:50 pm

On my own.

5:51 pm

Ah, a deserted beach with a hammock and a cool, alcoholic beverage...bliss

and to6/27 for the win! Happy babbling, all!

5:52 pm

Stoppit Molly. Stop it. Wah wah wab

5:52 pm

congrats, TO...

5:52 pm

Whoo TO! Well done

5:58 pm

just figured out how to engage backlighting on my keyboard.....yea!

5:58 pm

If you see it, you will be there (from the soon to be released movie "Beach Of Dreams)

5:59 pm

And since I have not seen a beach since 2007, I will do the wah, wah, wahing here.

6:22 pm

Many ups & downs notwithstanding ... When the Soodle ship comes in, and the Molly n Soodle party hits town, it'

6:22 pm

it'll be the hottest ticket in town.

6:40 pm

♪♫The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine♪♫

6:41 pm

you use musical notes beautifully, molly...

6:54 pm

i wish new computers came with old fashioned manuals...

6:56 pm

Oh, we can't have that. Then there would be no need to call tech support. The best thing to do is Google search your question. Lots of answers out there. Some of them make sense.

6:57 pm

i just spent 45 min. doing a search....i just wanted to find out more about what the symbols of the function keys stand for....finally figured out how to backlight the keyboard....but there are still a few i don't understand...

6:58 pm

It's a trial and error thing, you'll get it eventually.

6:59 pm

hope so....one looks like a belt buckle....

6:59 pm

Is there a forum specifically for your type of computer?

7:00 pm

yes, i guess i could post a question...seems like something i should know...

7:01 pm

Are you talking about the Windows key? In between Ctrl and Alt?

7:02 pm

no, it's in the top line of keys.....the function keys, i think....i have figured out most of them, but there are still a few that i have not....

7:02 pm

Okay then I am lost. All my function keys on the top row are labeled F1 through F12. You must be on a Macintosh

7:03 pm

i have the numbers (like F1) but i also have symbols....i am on a dell laptop...

7:09 pm

And you can't find your answers by doing a Google search on Dell laptop function keys?

7:10 pm

nope....i found info on related stuff, like how to change the fn keys....i found an out of date chart of symbols but the ones in question weren't there...

7:12 pm

Hello Babblers! Quiet chog tonight.I'm saving my last one

7:12 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!Way to go

7:12 pm

ty min...

7:12 pm

Well, I'm not sure what your goal is here. I rarely use the function keys on my computer. I would suggest a call to Dell since it's a new computer.

7:13 pm

thanks...i will consider that....

7:13 pm

Hi Min, not exactly a quiet chat. Pen and I have been going back and forth for a while now.

7:14 pm

I just scrolled down to the bottom&saw a post from 5:16.

7:17 pm

???

7:22 pm

I scrolled down to the bottom of the chog and saw a post that was posted at 5:16 game time.That is what I meant.

7:23 pm

But you didn't see Pen and I chatting?

7:27 pm

Never mind, this is where I get confused and need to get off the merry-go-round.

7:34 pm

10:03 pm

I LOVE THIRD GRADE!!!! *bounce bounce bounce* OMGOMGOMG. It is so amazing.

10:03 pm

I am not so amazing, but the kids are great and my colleagues are super-wonderful.

10:03 pm

Mcurlschool is at my school, and we have SO MUCH fun!

10:03 pm

Put a consonat after the 1st vowel and you have ep 6/30

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

Oh really? What grade does mcurlschool teach stidmama?

10:04 pm

and yes, got the plural...

10:06 pm

She is an EA -- everyone in the school wants her! LOL She's amazing because she knows the kids, the families, the teachers... But another Babbler has her much of the time. Not sure what her name is here, she doesn't play much any more. :-D LOL People at the school knew about me before they met me!

10:06 pm

Well, the chat buddies are tempting and so enjoyable...but I do have to get up early....BIG cyber {{{hugs}}} to all. I am so happy for you stiddy, hope all is well for your school minv and book on gwen! Sweet sleeps to all!! *poof*

10:07 pm

sweet dreams Jilly -- see you next time.

10:08 pm

Goodbye Jillyjill!I'll see you tomorrow in the chog maybe

10:08 pm

I assume you have this position for the year,not subbing?

10:09 pm

I have the position "permanently" Min -- at least, it is continuing provided I pass the probationary first couple of years. I am hopeful I have found my forever teaching home.

10:11 pm

how fishy is that Y?

10:11 pm

how is life where you are this year, Min -- I seem to remember you were going to be between several schools?

10:12 pm

yo5/18 is not fishy at all!Would you like a clue stidmama

10:13 pm

I am split between two schools.I actually like being split.

10:13 pm

I would appreciate a clue, yes. Thanks Min.

10:13 pm

I am glad you like it. I was wondering how the logistics would be

yo5 was my new word of the day

10:15 pm

yo 5/18 word is yo plus beginning of performer who does not speak stidmama.

10:15 pm

interesting. Thanks! *runs off to find definition*

i just checked the two big dictionary sites and they don't have it. fooey

10:16 pm

Hello

signing off for now, byeeeeeee

10:16 pm

a way of referring to the Jewish "High Holidays" apparently

10:16 pm

Hello Jellen! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog

10:16 pm

later gwen ((hugs))

10:16 pm

Bye Gwen

10:16 pm

JELLEN!!!! ((((hugs))))

10:17 pm

LONG time no see! (((More hugs)))

10:17 pm

Goodbye Book Doctor Gwen! I'll see you tomorrow maybe

10:17 pm

Aww, thanks for the hugs, stir!

10:17 pm

Stid!

10:17 pm

Talking about me i see Stid! LOL

10:18 pm

HEY MCURL!!!! :-D

10:18 pm

I think we're pushing our bed time (((hehehe)))

10:18 pm

I was at school for a VERY long time today, but I think I got the piles of papers in my room down to almost manageable again.

10:19 pm

that is a good thing. I think most of our testing is done for this week---whew---

10:19 pm

Yes, I will crawl into bed a little late -- only got home about 45 minutes ago. But tomorrow is Friday and we will have a great day (again) and then it will be the weekend and I can sleep then.

10:19 pm

Trying to keep work to (mostly) week days this year, so I have weekends with Tom and friends.

10:20 pm

Lady! You REALLY shouldn't stay that long. And YES weekends should be for family.

10:20 pm

What kind of testing are U doing at beginning of the year

10:20 pm

Listen to me talk---who's the one there right with you at 630 a.m.

10:21 pm

We do a lot of reading testing for intervention groups.

10:21 pm

Well, the custodians were keeping me company. A micro-rodent had my teaching neighbor up on a chair after school today... They are trying so hard to locate and remove them. It's rough because the school is surrounded by fields and forest.

10:21 pm

True -- and then you volunteer and stay later than you have to! *amazed and impressed mama-teacher look*

10:22 pm

Darn those pesky micro rodents!!!

10:22 pm

ahhhh shucks mamma

10:23 pm

yep. they're small and their FAST! LOL

10:23 pm

which neighbor? C or K

10:23 pm

C

10:24 pm

SHE can move pretty fast, too!

10:25 pm

Oh my heavens, I would loved to have seen that especially after the little poster I gave her this morning about (something like) my classroom may be loud but there is learning going on. I'll have to show you tomorrow

10:25 pm

I am so grateful to C AND K (and J) for helping me out, They are happy to lend me materials, and happy to let me try things out on my own, too (and then help me problem-solve when I get confused). I am learning so much and having such a great time.

10:25 pm

I'll be in at my usual time! :-D

10:27 pm

Im looking forward to getting into the reading but alas it probably won't happen for Liz and I until October

10:27 pm

What reading program do you use? Yonkers uses Journeys

10:27 pm

OOOH. Did you see that the state supreme court is holding the ENTIRE legislature in contempt? And it was a UNANIMOUS decision!!!

10:28 pm

we have some staff that use the Read Right program but all others use StoryTown

10:29 pm

Yes, I was told Oct 7... I would love to have a better sense for what is going on, but at least now I have the results of the testing you did (THANK YOU!) and it looks like I am pretty much on target with my own assessment of the kids. Nice to have that confirmation -- particularly when I am learning what is appropriate for this grade!

10:29 pm

I had not seen that. And you know what I would like to see.....the money come out of the legistatures pockets for the "fines" the court threatened once

10:29 pm

Yes, we are using StoryTown in 3rd grade. I like it.

10:29 pm

That is a possibility, apparently. Kiro has a short story about it.

10:29 pm

I've never heard of those programs. We used Open Court for several years.Then we switched to Journeys last year

10:30 pm

Is your program aligned to the Common Core Standards?

10:30 pm

Yes, Common Core fits nicely with our Language Arts, actually!

10:30 pm

Our staff looked at Journeys but found it didn't align very well with the incoming "Common Core" standards. It was thought to be but they are now finding some BIG holes

10:32 pm

At 1st it was overwhelming to use,but now I like to use it

10:33 pm

It looks like I need to wrap things up as my being on the computer is causing the Netflix stream to lag and freeze. Stid, I will see you in the "dark" bright early AM!

10:33 pm

oops. See you soon, mcurl!

10:34 pm

Goodbye mcurlschool! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

10:35 pm

How are you doing with the grid stidmama.Yell if U need any help. I'll be here for another 15 more minutes or so.

10:37 pm

I am down to 32, but not making much progress. Watching an old Dr Who episode with Tom. :-)

10:38 pm

I could use the U word please?

10:38 pm

Going to list now.

10:39 pm

un 4/7

10:40 pm

thanks Jellen... *looking*

10:40 pm

27 now

10:40 pm

Silly word, imho

10:40 pm

That un4/7 is un _ to ** or not to ** that is the question.

10:40 pm

I see it! *sigh*

10:40 pm

thanks min

10:41 pm

stidmama, I have a story in profile if you want to read it.

10:42 pm

thanks Min -- will get a few more and then look!

10:43 pm

I would love to see your fireworks, but I must go to sleep

10:43 pm

Congratulations in advance for your fireworks!Goodnight

10:44 pm

Bye Min

10:44 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I will see you tomorrow

10:44 pm

sweet dreams min -- thanks for all the help!

10:45 pm

Got three words already from your story, btw

10:51 pm

hmph. the bu 6/39 is silly

10:51 pm

10:52 pm

very fishy last word.
