Good morning, everybody:)
((crossy))
I'm just back from a very sad funeral for the son (37) of a very close friend in the village
((ruby))
:(
He was sick, with cancer, of course, for a long time, but died in his parents' house
Terrible disease. I was very fortunate.
and his mother, as distraught as she's been these pasr months, has always found time to help me; I am very fortunatre!!
You and me, always optimistic!
Have to be because the alternate is self-imposed misery. :)
exactly, and we are both very Lucky to have survived this plague

Hi ruby.
vext
oops
Ty jwr, I needed that :)
sorry
It's okay, we all do it :)
oh well, that's okay then
wasn't planning on starting the new year off with one though
how do ye?
Doing good, still trying to get caught up with work.
some of us more ofteen than others (moi!)
you mean work that was interruped by the holidays? yes, isn't that annoying? should be the other way round.
it sometimes has to be a 12 q
work? I remember that...
I only do some part-time freelance writing but since the place I work for was closed until today it was easy to get behind. I wanted a real break :)
oh ruby -- you poor thing -- imagine not remembering womnderful wonderful work!
"free" landing always sounds sooo easy when you first start it, doesn't it?
I still like it better than having to go into the office every day.
lanCing, I mean. the other one sounds painful
lol
I loved my work and truly miss it! I had the best jobs
And, my work is very easy, i could probably do a months worth in a week if I really applied myself.
what did you do, ruby?
sukee, I do a little bookkeeping at home for a friend -- get the same amount each month & sometimes feel guilty when there's not so much.
The last job was selling architectural glass which was made in South Africa, Belgium and Japan.
ruby, sukee, world: end of break, back to the Call Room. happy babbles
Lots of travel
Back later - will review chat bye
I am also on disability so the extra money comes in very handy. They count me as a business owner and only take a couple of hundred off what I would get otherwise. It works well.
Take care jwr.

You're welcome
no idea for the od, very dense this AM
I was a draftee
I have on thermal underwear under sweats and a hat. I am toasty
the od ends with "person who does something" or a suffix for someone who follows a certain belief.
I am lagging today, chat takes a while to show up.

ruby, hi I'm back again for awhile. Had to look up architectural glass. might impressive. how on Earth do you sell it, though? Some of it is gigantic
by you certainly have been many things in your life
bichon, hello -- just noticed your post on "omerta" -- I had that question right away? Did we get it from the movies?
No, it's an Italian word for curse, I think
back, not out of my carlol
I worked with architects and designers, just had to get my stuff specified
I think it means silence in the mafia
when your battery is loww, how much time do you actually have?

The Devil came from Kansas. Where he went to I can't say Though I teach I'm not a preacher, and I aim to stay that way There's a monkey riding on my back, been there for some time He says he knows me very well but he's no friend of mine
I did not know that ... not what I was taught
omerta is an oath of vengeance -- old (and movie-myth) Sicilian mafia
(as practiced by the Mafia) a code of silence about criminal activity and a refusal to give evidence to authorities.
ar 5/12, pls
looked up the glass, ruby - it's stunning. what a neat job'

“Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.†~Langston Hughes

Une, That was a great idea. The photos are wonderful.
I like that, Byz. Hi folks. Another big grid.
Hi Scrabbs
10 degrees now and a high of 12 today. Brrrr.
29 degrees here
26 degrees here with a light dusting of fresh snow on ground
Hi folks.. chilly morn in SW Fla. too! Another big grid to tackle..
Hi Aloy
morning, Aloy
yesterday's was pretty friendly.. hope today's is too
nice grid today too
brain is not fully engaged.. Babble helps it get going (-:
sleep torpor
Yes, for a non-morning person such as me.
actually have been up since 6am.. did water testing at sunrise for the DEP, all went well but temp in the 40's kind of chilled my gray matter
am warming up with some cream of wheat and hot coffee, aah
and Babble too of course
also am a non-morning person, Scrabbs.. love to stay up at night
me in the morning, or, afternoon, or, evening: mumpish
((Byz)) We love seeing you here.
mumpish is.. a moody grump? or.. ? hi Byz (-:
a curmudgeon here has a fan club - runs a column in the paper
I am becoming more of a curmudgeon as I get older. I think we all do, as we see changes for the worse. In my office I see the decay of families and parenting.
yay for curmudgeons!
on the other hand, global poverty and disease is on a major downward slope!
yay for optimists!
True, Hurshy.
i am not an optimist - i just keep these facts to remind myself not to be a complete pessimist
good to hear something positive, that is for sure
Yet I see more feral children every day, so I am ascared of the future.
the news can make one downright depressed
I see reality every day and it scares me. Lack of parenting, loss of families, loss of manners, etc. Sorry, I am being a pessimist now.
I keep hoping that we are in the one step back that precedes two steps forward
well, do the "sad cases" make up a large percentage of your cases, Scrabbs? Just one a day would be upsetting, but I imagine that if you encounter a steady stream, it would indeed be scary
I hope there will be an awakening, rob, that we have lost 2 generations of kids to wimpy parenting, and that parents do indeed need to behave like parents in order to create adults.
depression: a funeral in the brain
We (my partners and me) estimate that just 20% of parents behave as traditional, responsible, thoughtful parents that are focused on giving their kids the skills to become adults.
That is very sad.
Byz--it's an epidemic among kids that are ignored by their parents.
So sad, Annie, that I want to adopt hundreds of kids.
egads.. a disturbing observation
Scrabbs, Does that happened across the entire practice? Or just in pockets?
I am awaiting a newly published book by Leonard Sax, MD, The Collapse of Parenting. He gets it.
oh what fools we Mo7 be
Annie, we have observed it over the last 20 years. Across the US. Look at the data for the number of American kids acandemically failing, or on psychiatric meds.
thanks, aloy
love is not love which alters where it alteration finds or bends with the re7 to re6...
I must get ready to do my mother's shopping and then visit with her. Enjoy the day, folks. :-)
good seeing you Scrabbs.. have a great day too!
Enjoy your visit. Bye scrabbs. Will look at the data.

horrible storms when I was there, blah... barely got out on Sunday
had to take alternate route to Love since Mocki ngbird was flooded

horrible weather, I much preferred the nice warm 70 degree weather that preceded it :)
then we had to sit on the runway for awhile until the lightening in the area stopped
And those tornados, so scary
nah, that was too hoy for xmas!
true, it was hard to get in the xmas spirit with the heat
the BF was impressed though. He grew up in the Sierra Nevadas and had never seen those storms like we get in the plains.... everytime the sky would light up with multiple lightening bursts he'd say "whoa!"
It was quite a show
We had visitors from the LA area and I didn't realize they don't get thunder and lightning...the 6 year old was really scared
one of my siblings lives in tx

west i got one about 4 days ago or so and we haven't finished it yet cranberry cherry.. the Wisconsin i think that's what its called?
chicken stew in the oven... it smells pretty good
wish we had some falling from the sky here
why would stew be in the oven?
I'll be over for dinner kje and then go to ML's for dessert
bc that is how this recipe does it?
sounds likea plan west:)
it reduces while the chicken cooks
ok... bring wine!
I put my stew in the oven when I make dumplings
no the kringle already has fruit in it:)
will you please post the recipe?
many stews go in the oven... a more even heat than just the pan bottom stovetop.
here is the link
let me go tiny it first

annie have you ever been to Times Square on New Year's Eve ?
We watch it on TV every year and I can't imagine being there.
Yes, when I was in my late teens..no gates, just extremely crowded and cold. The time I did it. There was no entertainment either. Just the ball dropping. When you are young, it is fun.
I think I would have liked that too
lots of whooping and hollering. no celebrities but it was a very long time ago. Someone of the kids on line this year were there since noon.
i can't even stay up til midnight any more, lol
nice to know I'm not the only one, blah
Neither can I.

TY Douglas
funny... shoe box school projects seem to be universal
By the logic of lo5, "creamcheesed" should be a word too. I'm ok with that, being fond of cream cheese.
not down here however 50s family TV shows were
good to know, lynxx
did any of you also have to make things out of Readers Digests by folding the pages?
not here
lucky you, lynxx
make nice Christmas trees to use as a centerpiece
exactly wv!
man those were boring
I think it was a way for the teacher to keep us occupied for an hour
so you bend the spine back?
no, you fold each page and as they are folded it opens up
lol kje, just logged in to see your bagel post
then you glue the edges together and it makes a round thing... like a tree
ahoy aloy!

yesterday's grid seemed friendlier than today's.. or maybe I'm just slower today
I'm sure with something more than construction paper and 1st grade ability, it could look much better, wv!
no, it was easier, ahoy
this one has more odd words
but then again... maybe you are slower ; )
ahh, that must be the problem.. lol.. no, I really did zip through yesterday's, and I'm slogging through today's
yesterdays was nice - this is more arduous - and Babble seems to be 'eating' more than usual too
yesterday's was big, but mostly normal words... I got much further in it before listing
hey, that happens to you too, lynxx? When I finally "earn" the list, I swear I entered a bunch of words previously!

I don't think kids have had di7's as a homework project since the 60's.
think you may be right.. teachers under the gun to meet test expectations, no time for imagination
don't they still make those volcanoes that have a di7 at the base?
creativity be damned
"No time for imagination"...sad but true
My grandaughter did a di7 for a book report just this year. good one, too.
Can anyone clue the ar7 please?
add a hook letter to ar 6 above
