or es 5/10 a ladies name...

2 forever words et 7 and et 6

the 6 letter forever uses the one in the last column, I think

I about went nuts with the other forever, and ladies names, and invested words, and then I fell into it!

2:00 am

aha, it was the et6, you are right - I had the 7 - so thanks, helens, and you too, Dee. :)

invested words - don't want to send everybody off hunting for financial terminology!

yqw I am awful at figuring out where multiples start...unless I have just entered it

Inventing words is fun, but it doesn't seem to advance the word list.

Yesterday's grid, I was hunting like mad for a word for one tile - and eventually went on to something else. Much later noticed I had used that tile - still have no idea which word it was!

2:04 am

been there and done that also, haha! :)

sorry rbud - didn't mean to push you off track too

2:12 am

no problem, it's not as bad as a song you can't stop humming, haha! :)

2:13 am

I think I won't look at the chat anymore -- in case you give an example of that!

2:13 am

but it did find me two words I didn't have before, thanks!

2:14 am

oh that's okay then - it did sort of leave a clue or two behind

for crying out loud -- I don't believe I just spent futile minutes searching for a reason "soodle" wasn't acceptable in the grid. Just goes to show you which is the game and which is the reality.

2:47 am

And in she flounces, wearing her tiara, bestowing calming vibes to JWR. Lol

2:47 am

Oh, THERE you are. I knew it!

2:48 am

:-)

2:48 am

I bow to your reality.

2:49 am

Waves hand & benignly acknowledges the lesser mortals.

2:49 am

Oh. Are there more than one of us?

2:51 am

Look! How many chances do I get to wear a tiara? I'm making the most of this.... Imagining hordes of adoring Babblers, stunned into silence by my very presence.

2:52 am

O, I should be your humble servant, I know -- but the vision of you sitting at the computer with a tiara on your head gives me the giggles.

2:53 am

A tiara, an elderly dressing gown & fluffy slippers. Very regal!

2:54 am

All on your head>?

2:56 am

My head's not THAT big! Anyway, I have duties to attend to. Royal blessings on you, Jwr. Poof

2:57 am

Silly time. Listen! While you have 21 more hours to rule, I think you should make some royal edicts. There should be, for instance, a word for a group of Babblers, like a pod of whales ... a sedge of bitterns ... a gaggle of geese ...

2:58 am

A dictionary of Babblers?

2:59 am

Oh, dear. She's gone. If anyone else is here (before I go poof myself), what do you think about a gridlock of babblers?

2:59 am

Ah - still about? Dictionary can apply to too many games -- scrabble, for one.

3:00 am

Actually, a blob of babblers makes a really good tongue-twister.

3:01 am

cooee and g'day from me

3:02 am

Howdy granny. What's the good word?

3:03 am

all good at the moment, thanx. and you?

3:04 am

about to retire. I stayed a bit over talking to Soodle - she's in the grid tonite and I spent a sillily amount of time trying to figure out that it wasn't an acceptable word.

3:05 am

silly

3:06 am

i know, i kept missing the past tenses....very frustrating

3:07 am

What past ten.... just kidding. Have fun - it's a nice biggie. I'm poofin' along.

3:07 am

we took 3 of our grandkiddies out for the day. it is currently still school hols.

3:08 am

Are they easy to entertain?

3:11 am

they are exhausting. we went by a steam train up to a local park, an houts ride

3:11 am

ugh...hours

3:12 am

once there lunch was first thing on the agenda, then a swim in the paddle pool. tried for the paddle boats, but we didn't have enough fit adults, plus young claudia didn't pass the height test...lol

3:13 am

how old are they, granny?

3:14 am

blake is 14, deacon is 6, claudia is 4

3:15 am

yipes. I would think that's an impossible task, considering the differences in interests, especially at Blake's age.

3:16 am

then we drove to the next carpark which had to really great playgrounds for them. of course all that activity made them hungry again, so a visit to macca's for icecream and drinks.

3:16 am

blake is the loveliest kid. and i am pretty sure he had as good a time as the two little ones.

3:17 am

sweets know no age limit

3:18 am

That's so nice to hear, about Blake. I was just thinking, though, can you imagine what life would be like if the kids didn't go to school ever?

3:18 am

when we got them back home, their mum looked so rested, so it was worth it.

3:21 am

Good on you (is that the right phrase?) -- a day off can make so much difference. ... just the quiet ...

3:24 am

she still had the 18 month old at home, but he is such an easy child to look after.

3:26 am

It still had to make a huge difference. Be careful of your own health now, rose. These excursions can be very wearing.

3:27 am

lol....you got that right. i think/hope i sleep tonight.

3:28 am

You will. And not, I hope, "like a baby" (whoever thought up that one never had a child in the house).

3:30 am

*giggle* putting on my jammies as we are talking, hence the slight delays.

3:31 am

Sleep tight, rose. I'm getting back to work myself - more grid later. Bye.

3:32 am

bye, jwr.

No oodle. Most disappointed

5:11 am

good morning. Nice biggie!

5:13 am

and no reindeer either. Bummer.

5:22 am

relog not valid? Ugh. Enable.

5:23 am

or arnold. Sort of knew he wasn't real anyway.

5:23 am

true, dat. Hi Dachef :D

5:24 am

good morning everyone:)

5:24 am

hiya crosyy :)

5:24 am

whoot!! {{hugs}} sprite. just sent you an email as i thought i was gonna miss you tonight.

5:24 am

seems to be more phantoms and non-words than real ones in this grid so far.

5:25 am

g'day crossy, dachef

5:25 am

*hugs rose* Didn't sleep till 4 am again, and had to be up very early to make sure Tim was up... and then felt so rotten I went back to bed. So sorry darling.

5:25 am

np's sweetie. how do you feel now?

5:25 am

I agree, Dachef. It is not flowing here.

5:26 am

slightly better, rose, but still ti5. Must go shopping and cooking in a while, not looking forward to it.

5:30 am

rose, what is macca?

5:30 am

macdonald's

5:31 am

oh! *facepalm* how stupid of me

5:31 am

so... right now you are up because you can't lie down, and you want to lie down because you can't stay up?

5:32 am

dearest, going to get meds ready.

5:32 am

ok

5:32 am

but i love your analyses of my problem.....col

5:32 am

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! The Ferrero Company uses 1/4 of the harvest hazelnuts available worldwide just to make Nutella.

5:33 am

yay for nutella!

5:34 am

been there, done that, rose, lol. A rather rotten state to be in.

5:35 am

hopefully somewhat sweetened by the memory of your outing with the grandkids. Some things are worth the agony afterwards.

5:37 am

crossy.... do you have a super quick and easy recipe for me for dinner tonight? It is just my love and me, and son will eat later in the evening, warmed up.

5:37 am

thanks to rose I do have allspice and 5spice!

5:38 am

how about a fast home made chicken cordon bleu?

5:38 am

how does that work?

5:39 am

Give me 5 and I will type it out for you

5:39 am

awesome! Thanks *hugs*

5:39 am

and back until meds kick in...

5:40 am

good girl rose :) *healing vibes for abused rosebody*

5:43 am

i have extra magnesium on bedside table, in case. oh and i didn't tell you, my gag reflex has gone to a whole new level. i can't bear the foam of the toothpaste, and for nearly a week, taking some of my tabs has to be between gags.

5:44 am

rose, try having one tab in your mouth, then drink a large glass of water in big gulps, trying to ignore the tab. It will go down easier that way.

5:45 am

darling, that's what i am doing, but just the thought of the tablet and i start gagging. it's so frustrating.

5:45 am

brushing my teeth always makes me gag. But I don't have trouble taking pills, thank the go4.

5:47 am

very frustrating indeed. :(

5:47 am

hmmm, just had a thought. i wonder if i have the radio on or a cd playing, it will take my mind off what i am trying to do.

5:47 am

ok sprite, can you give me you email addy. I do not think they want me to fill the chog with it:)

5:48 am

do you two not have each others email addy? would you like me to connect you?

5:49 am

I find that when the pill and water is in my mouth, I tip my head to one side (as if trying to touch ear to shoulder) and the pill disappears quickly - as it doesn't have to negotiate the dangly bit in the throat which can cause the gag reflex ...

5:49 am

nice hint, thanx chessy

5:50 am

good one, Chessy

5:50 am

we do, rose, but crossy keeps losing mine, lol

5:50 am

Hope it helps - useful for kids too who have troube taking pills

5:50 am

crossy: spriteweb at upcmail dot nl

5:50 am

col.....crossy!!!

5:50 am

just send me an email then sprite and i will fire it to you as an attachment

5:50 am

kk

5:51 am

will do!

5:51 am

*trouble*

5:52 am

emails sent to crossy and rose

5:53 am

ok, it is sent. Hope you like it. it is very quick and easy to make, and your better half will think you slaved for hours to make it:)

5:53 am

awesome! That is what I need :D

5:54 am

ta much, sprite....strange that was what i was thinking....will work on it.

5:55 am

I like to serve that with some nice long grain wild rice and a small stuffed potato

5:55 am

sounds good to me, crossy! And what do you do for veggies?

5:55 am

rice OR stuffed tater

5:56 am

for veggie i usually do brussel sprouts or some nice herbed and spiced steamed green beans

5:57 am

ok. Thanks muchly, crossy :)

5:57 am

np:))

5:57 am

*hugs rose*

5:58 am

doing the stuffed tater works well because you can bake them at the same time the chicken is in the oven

5:58 am

and what do you stuff them with? I am a total cook noob, remember? :)

5:59 am

Hello all.

6:00 am

hi sukee :D

6:00 am

i am getting sleepy, i am getting sleepy. * yaaaaawn *

6:01 am

sleep well, rose. I hope you'll be able to sleep through the night.

6:01 am

g'day sukee, it wasn't your entrance that caused that. i have had a too busy day.

6:02 am

Take care

6:02 am

night-night sprite. praying you get through the day, and have a good night yourself. xoxox

6:03 am

* sigh * and poof

6:03 am

bye sweetie *hugs*

6:05 am

sorry, you bake microwave the taters for 3 minues each side on high, then bake for 15 minutes. take them out and cut them in half. Scoop out each half and put the tater meat in bowl. mash and add herbs and spices such as dill, chives, onions or what ever you like. spoon mashed tater back into the tater halfs and coat with some shredded cheese. Place on baking tray and bake for 5 minutes at 425f

6:06 am

Love double baked potatoes

6:06 am

awesome. Thanks again, crossy. Gourmet meal!

6:06 am

they are delish:)

6:07 am

I microwave them for 3 minutes a side first so they only take 15 min in oven

6:07 am

That way they are done same time as chicken:))

6:08 am

our microwave just died this week :(

6:08 am

then put the taters in half an hour before the chicken

6:08 am

great :)

6:08 am

godot still isnt in enable. Somebody go tell Estragon.

6:09 am

or go with the wild rice if you prefer:)

6:09 am

Enable is evil

6:09 am

enable is such a philistine!

6:10 am

I always try 'enfer'. But that is french.

6:11 am

i am always trying to use "stee"

6:11 am

it is old english that enable chooses not to understand

6:14 am

sounds like irish for stay, lol

6:14 am

those potatoes are awesome. I do the same but add bacon (cos bacon should be in every recipe ever).

6:14 am

I love bacon

6:15 am

I adore it as some of you know:))) but it has gotten too expensive here

6:15 am

Bacon sandwiches: only known cure for vegetarianism.

6:16 am

I refise to pay 6 dollars for 3/4 of a pound(375g) of bacon!

6:16 am

Bacon has converted more vegans than any other food:))

6:16 am

bacon is food of the go4

6:21 am

I have to eat soft food until Monday. Bacon talk is torture :)

6:21 am

aw poor sukee! Homemade applesauce then, with cinnamon.

6:21 am

poor sukee... you obviously have never had bacon pate or a bacon smoothie lol

6:22 am

I managed to eat macaroni and cheese yesterday :)

6:22 am

wow, progress.

6:22 am

For supper I had soup...

6:22 am

I may lose weight this weekend :)

6:22 am

ma

6:22 am

ma

6:22 am

macaroni and cheese - add bacon. Even better.

6:23 am

whoops. sorry. don't know what happened there.

6:23 am

cut it in teensy-tiny pieces... just for the taste :)

6:23 am

Bacon bits :)

6:24 am

see: bacon. Always bacon.

6:27 am

crossy, after microwaving the taters, do they go on the furnace or in the oven? And when you put the chicken in the oven, do I need to put water in the pan beneath the rack?

6:27 am

Woo hoo, 152 words found and blacked out my first tile.

6:27 am

wtg sukee!

6:29 am

no, no water in the rack

6:29 am

and put the taters in oven after the microwave

6:29 am

ok great :D I think I have it all clear now.

6:31 am

I hope you enjoy it. it is one of my favorite quick "fancy" meals

6:32 am

so, either break crumbs, crushed corn flakes, or crushed special k cereal, all of these work amazing

6:32 am

bread

6:32 am

um no, another question, sorry. When you spoon out the tater meat... do you keep the skin of the taters on? And is that what you leave when scooping out?

6:32 am

I have all those :D

6:32 am

yes, skin on

6:32 am

you are basically making a "boat" out of the potato halfs

6:33 am

ahhh of course. Scoop out but leave enough in to keep the form

6:33 am

yup

6:33 am

make twice as many taters as you think you will need

6:34 am

They tend to be popular;)

6:35 am

:D will do

6:36 am

For dinner tonight I am going to have a sweet potato..

6:36 am

Use you favorite shredded cheese on top when you stuff the boats and bake them . i like a nice sharp cheddar

6:36 am

They are good with cinnamon and brown sugar.

6:36 am

mmm.. sweet taters

6:36 am

good thinking, sukee. I hope you heal up pretty fast.

6:36 am

I love sweet tater frittes

6:37 am

I am seeing the dentist on Monday, Tuesday I should be back to normal.

6:37 am

That is good, sukee

6:37 am

getting there, sukee. One more weekend.

6:38 am

Is there pain, sukee or are you just trying to prevent the rest of the cap from coming off?

6:39 am

A tiny bit of pain but I'm more worried about doing more damage.

6:41 am

I make sweet potato latkes, just like reg. latkes but serve them with sour cream

6:41 am

I use the food processer

6:41 am

ooh, that sounds good.

6:41 am

I love latkes...

6:41 am

and hello

6:41 am

Hi ruby.

6:41 am

that Z biggie is totally new for me. Not just in babble, but altogether. Curcuma derived stimulant. Thank you a2z!

6:41 am

And I do it when there are leftover baked sweets, too

6:42 am

My husband never had a sweet potato until he married me!

6:42 am

hi ruby :)

6:42 am

lol

6:42 am

You are the sweet potato :)

6:42 am

or a turnip or rutabaga for that matter

6:42 am

I wouldn't dare call you a sweet potato, ruby

6:42 am

He led a sheltered life, lol

6:42 am

hahaha

6:43 am

what is the second letter of the big z?

6:43 am

ok, have to be off. Groceries to get, chickenbreasts to put in milk and fridge. *hugs* to you all.

I have already decided I am ordering Popeye's Chicken on Tuesday :)

6:44 am

bye sprite

6:46 am

I am in the process of makig a huge chicken soup, just like my mother used to make but without the chicken fat, bones or skin

6:46 am

enough for everybody in babble

6:47 am

It is about 3 hours of work plus the cooking time but it's a few days' dinners

6:48 am

I think that is the very fist time that I have see that ze 9/90 in the grid

"you can always take it off...."

6:53 am

I recently got a 1.5 quart crock pot. It's perfect for making smaller batches of soup and sauce.

6:53 am

I love my crockpot

6:53 am

mine hold ten cups

6:54 am

I like making big batches since husband doesn't mind eating the same thing, day after day, and I can do all the work at once when I'm feeling up to it

6:55 am

but you are young, Molly!

6:55 am

good morning dear friends

6:56 am

good morning, trif, another young one

6:59 am

howdy trif. Nature is wise, ruby. it allows people to grow old so there is someone around to teach us youngsters:)

7:00 am

Feeling about 100 today...oof. What a long week...

7:01 am

100 is the new 70!

7:01 am

lol

7:02 am

ok, I am out of time and must head to class. tc all and happy babbling!

7:02 am

drive as fast as possible, crossy :)

7:02 am

bye crossy

7:08 am

soodle is in the grid today~!~

7:12 am

Big batches would work if I could serve up the same thing day after day. But that doesn't work here.

7:12 am

Maybe husband doesn't remember -- that's called looking for the bright side

7:13 am

And yes, Soodle was already here to soak up her status

7:15 am

♪♫You should always look at♫♪the bright side of your life♪♫

Hi kids. Biggie today.

9:15 am

Hi scrabs

9:15 am

How are you doing, River? What did the doc say about that lump?

9:16 am

You got it right _ hematoma

9:16 am

Common things occur commonly, rare things occur rarely. An important axiom in medicine and life.

9:17 am

Its pretty hard. No pain or discoloration.

9:17 am

If it gets calcified it may take months to resorb.

9:17 am

Just keep a watch on it. He told me to wear control top pantyhose. I lmao!

9:18 am

I doubt that will help the hematoma and you will be uncomfortablly squeezed.

9:18 am

He wants to see me again in 2 weeks

9:19 am

Aaah, the sun is shining! It is beautiful out and I will XC ski in 2 hrs.

9:19 am

He thinks compression may help

There's also a do7 which I can't find (which may or may not be related)

Thank you for everyone who gave me advice about visiting my friend. It did not end up mattering because he was under morphine and unconcious the whole time. He died later that night, at home. His wife was unfortunately not there, being in the hospital with her own cancer.

The list shows about 30-40 re- words....argh.

9:47 am

9:47 am

scrabs, I was just wondering how many of those there would be.

10:29 am

10:31 am

People give clues without them being asked for all the time.

10:31 am

I like it when that happens.

10:32 am

Seems like most people do

10:32 am

Those of us who don't must play with chat turned off to find words on our own.

11:12 am

11:13 am

I couldn't play last night.. it was impossible.. the site is going to crash any time now

11:13 am

Sigh. Sadly unurprising that.

11:13 am

The site seems very unstable these days

11:14 am

*Quickly begins developing Babble Rehab Centers*

11:15 am

ah well, don't know when I've gone to bed so early!!

11:15 am

*Doctor to nurse: who is that poor man over in the corner with a beard? Nurse: oh.. that's DC.. he used to have a way with words

11:16 am

babble has greatly improved my scrabble game :)

11:16 am

Nurse to doctor: They all keep doodling these little squares with 25 letters in them.

11:16 am

mine too, dc and WwF too

11:17 am

i actually played an in-person Scrabble game on NYE. That was a nice change.

11:17 am

Nurse.. they also mumble strange things like naoi, etui, inia, etna, and oses

11:18 am

lwei

11:18 am

HA

11:18 am

sounds frightening!

11:18 am

11:18 am

I play lwei in a Wwf Games last week :)

11:18 am

:)

11:18 am

Doctor...that one over there keeps drooling and muttering "404 error. All I got was a 404 error"

11:18 am

soodle is in the grid however

11:19 am

hi Aloy, I tried toodle too

11:19 am

11:20 am

I see Soodle was already by to strut her stuff. Never one to ignore her day in the sun.

11:20 am

Babble has helped me in Scrabble too! Playing against a long time opponent.. she wonders where I find these weird words.. I reply, Babble!

11:20 am

going to take a break to read the daily news, bb soon - going to have to finish this morning!!

11:21 am

And does she then look at you funny and back away slowly?

11:21 am

aeolian is a great word i learnt from babble

11:21 am

be well, flosey

11:22 am

lol, no, Molly.. she did get the new Scrabble dictionary for Christmas.. so she has 5000 new words to learn

11:22 am

I use hetaera and people think i'm cheating

11:25 am

hello everybody

11:25 am

It's easy to cheat playing Scrabble kind of games on line

11:25 am

hi, ruby

11:25 am

205 wwords, but I still can't figure out the et6 from the eastern upper e

11:25 am

There's a program called anagrams that some people use, but it's easy to spot them immediately as they will 4 or 5 bingos, all of them truly obscure

11:26 am

ET 6 - archaic form of forever

11:26 am

Greetings, Babblonians!

11:27 am

ta, teach

11:27 am

hello judi, ruby and all

11:27 am

good morning :-)

11:27 am

welcome, judi

11:27 am

that's fnny, I found an et7 from that

11:28 am

seain and I play and neither of us cheats!

11:28 am

indeed, where's the fun in that!

11:29 am

Take the last two letters off, Ruby, and add a vowel on the end :-)

11:29 am

take off the last two letters of ET 7 and add 2nd vowel

11:29 am

I play with an old friend who uses them and when I said something, she answered "Whatever works!"

11:30 am

ty you two

11:30 am

yvw

11:30 am

i play the electronic versions like the in-person versions. Else, what's the point.

11:31 am

When I play "in person", at home, we have "house rules", but that's different

11:32 am

It helps the distribution of letters and evens the playing field

11:32 am

a murder of crows, a clutch of eggs, a tok of capercallies, a nye of pheasants, and a gridlock of Babblers: all hail and farewell, home to bed I go.

11:32 am

bye ywr

11:32 am

bundle of babblers

11:32 am

indeed, ruby

11:33 am

bunch of babblers

11:33 am

bye, nan. Ah, I like bundle; perhaps gridlock is good when the bundle is stymied.

11:33 am

i vote a bedlam of babblers

11:33 am

hasta, nan

11:33 am

which for me is most of the time!

11:34 am

A bundle of babblers one day, Were searching for a new way to play, They thought of a system, But then someone missed 'em, And couldn't keep up, anyway

11:34 am

that clearly defines the chat, dc'

11:35 am

nice, Ruby

11:36 am

ty, jwr, but I can't find a rhyme for your initials

11:36 am

Ha. I knew that would come in handy!

11:36 am

A Bevy Of Babble Players (Babbler sounds like someone with a gas problem)

11:37 am

wish I could stick around -- well, not here at work, but on the computer -- but it's truly time to go. A bubble of babblers, Molly? I poof!

11:38 am

Would one person in a bevy be a bevum?

11:38 am

bye jwr

11:38 am

Yeah, the "poof" thing also lends itself to those who are gassy

11:38 am

hahah, judi

11:38 am

a babbler sounds like a person who hangs around too much at brooks and streams

11:39 am

plays babble and leaves

11:39 am

So a babblet would be someone who hangs around too much at French brooks and streams?

11:40 am

no.. those players are inseine

11:40 am

Oh, well done Ru.

11:43 am

<---some kind of Punderful yes he is

11:43 am

oh ruby that's a loaded statement

11:43 am

sorry, will I be punnished

11:43 am

Ah, the old "it's not the size of the wand but the magic it contains" theory

11:44 am

as the showgirl said to the bishop

11:44 am

You always know what to expect from men who use that statement

11:44 am

It's sad the way women seem to balk at hosiery these days. There are a lot of legs that look much better in them than without

Niters TO Sleep well!

8:59 pm

I suspect I had a mild influenza in December actually -- aches, exhaustion, very low grade fevers (nothing up to 100)... for about three weeks.

9:00 pm

Yep, that sounds like the flu...

9:00 pm

it's the aches and exhaustion that partially define the flu.

9:02 pm

It set me back for a while, was just climbing out of it when we went back to school. :-D Fortunately, I get ALL the latest-and-greatest bugs courtesy of my students. Gotta love those younger kids, so kind with unexpected hugs and knowledge of the most current sniffles.

9:05 pm

Use your hand sanitizer frequently,(wash hands well several times an hour (if possible); don't touch your face, eyes, or mouth, make sure everyone coughs into their armpit or elbow too.

9:05 pm

That aside, we are completely back into the swing of things in my school, and it appears at least right now a bad cold is the worst thing being passed around.

9:06 pm

That's good news. The flu has been pretty bad here; both before Christmas break and now

9:06 pm

yes, hand sanitizer every time I turned around the last couple of days, and hand washing when I can.

9:07 pm

Doing my best to have kids wipe down desks (KNEW I forgot something today! *facepalm*), and we practiced coughing into our elbows twice this week.

9:07 pm

can someone help with the de7 cannot monkey it thanks

9:09 pm

In the hospital we were told not to rely on just the hand sanitizers; washing hands with soap (while singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" twice) several times an hour between the sanitizer uses, would really cut down on "germs".

9:10 pm

I have 25 students, nef -- one sink. NOT able to wash hands every 5 minutes.

9:10 pm

sorry,speed, I don't have it but am looking now

9:10 pm

de7 is french for last

9:10 pm

de7 - weight of silk stockings with an extra consonant 3rd letter

9:11 pm

Oh my, stid. At least it sounds like it's in your classroom, is it?

9:12 pm

hi Pythonx, where are you in Ontario? I grew up east of Toronto, then moved to North York - much later lived in Aurora, now on west coast

9:12 pm

thank you

9:13 pm

THanks Pythonx & flosey

9:13 pm

Windsor, flosey

9:13 pm

That, unfortunately, is a luxury afforded only to people who are in smaller groups. A single sink in the classroom does not mean we have the ability to use it. Children at this age have their fingers in their noses, ears, mouths ... and on every surface almost constantly. If I stopped to have kids wash every time it was medically or hygienically advisable, I would not be able to teach at all.

9:13 pm

Hey flo!!!!! *****hugs friend*****

9:14 pm

hi Stid, sorry to read you've been having a time with colds and other bugs - tough to beat when working with little ones

9:14 pm

very true, stid. And I can't imagine a teacher washing her hands as often as a nurse does; the class would be impossible to manage then!

9:15 pm

supper's on, bbs

9:15 pm

I'm never going to finish this. night all.

9:15 pm
