5:32 am

He was sick, with cancer, of course, for a long time, but died in his parents' house

5:32 am

Terrible disease. I was very fortunate.

5:33 am

and his mother, as distraught as she's been these pasr months, has always found time to help me; I am very fortunatre!!

5:33 am

You and me, always optimistic!

It's okay, we all do it :)

5:54 am

5:55 am

wasn't planning on starting the new year off with one though

5:55 am

how do ye?

5:56 am

Doing good, still trying to get caught up with work.

5:56 am

some of us more ofteen than others (moi!)

5:56 am

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

5:57 am

work? I remember that...

5:58 am

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 :)

5:58 am

oh ruby -- you poor thing -- imagine not remembering womnderful wonderful work!

5:59 am

"free" landing always sounds sooo easy when you first start it, doesn't it?

5:59 am

I still like it better than having to go into the office every day.

5:59 am

lanCing, I mean. the other one sounds painful

6:00 am

lol

6:00 am

I loved my work and truly miss it! I had the best jobs

6:01 am

And, my work is very easy, i could probably do a months worth in a week if I really applied myself.

6:01 am

what did you do, ruby?

6:02 am

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.

6:03 am

The last job was selling architectural glass which was made in South Africa, Belgium and Japan.

6:03 am

ruby, sukee, world: end of break, back to the Call Room. happy babbles

6:03 am

Lots of travel

6:04 am

Back later - will review chat bye

6:04 am

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.

6:04 am

Take care jwr.

6:04 am

bye jwr

6:05 am

Ruby, do you have either of the two 0s in the 4th column?

6:10 am

no idea for the od, very dense this AM

I was a draftee

6:10 am

I have on thermal underwear under sweats and a hat. I am toasty

6:11 am

the od ends with "person who does something" or a suffix for someone who follows a certain belief.

6:11 am

I am lagging today, chat takes a while to show up.

7:11 am

by you certainly have been many things in your life

7:14 am

bichon, hello -- just noticed your post on "omerta" -- I had that question right away? Did we get it from the movies?

7:31 am

No, it's an Italian word for curse, I think

7:32 am

back, not out of my carlol

7:32 am

I worked with architects and designers, just had to get my stuff specified

7:33 am

I think it means silence in the mafia

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

Une, That was a great idea. The photos are wonderful.

8:01 am

I like that, Byz. Hi folks. Another big grid.

8:01 am

Hi Scrabbs

8:02 am

10 degrees now and a high of 12 today. Brrrr.

8:03 am

29 degrees here

8:05 am

26 degrees here with a light dusting of fresh snow on ground

8:11 am

Hi folks.. chilly morn in SW Fla. too! Another big grid to tackle..

8:11 am

Hi Aloy

8:11 am

morning, Aloy

8:12 am

yesterday's was pretty friendly.. hope today's is too

8:16 am

nice grid today too

8:18 am

brain is not fully engaged.. Babble helps it get going (-:

sleep torpor

8:19 am

Yes, for a non-morning person such as me.

8:21 am

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

8:21 am

am warming up with some cream of wheat and hot coffee, aah

8:21 am

and Babble too of course

8:23 am

also am a non-morning person, Scrabbs.. love to stay up at night

me in the morning, or, afternoon, or, evening: mumpish

8:24 am

((Byz)) We love seeing you here.

8:24 am

mumpish is.. a moody grump? or.. ? hi Byz (-:

8:26 am

a curmudgeon here has a fan club - runs a column in the paper

8:27 am

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.

8:28 am

yay for curmudgeons!

8:29 am

on the other hand, global poverty and disease is on a major downward slope!

8:29 am

yay for optimists!

8:29 am

True, Hurshy.

8:30 am

i am not an optimist - i just keep these facts to remind myself not to be a complete pessimist

8:30 am

good to hear something positive, that is for sure

8:30 am

Yet I see more feral children every day, so I am ascared of the future.

8:30 am

the news can make one downright depressed

8:32 am

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.

8:33 am

I keep hoping that we are in the one step back that precedes two steps forward

8:34 am

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

8:35 am

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

8:36 am

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.

8:36 am

That is very sad.

8:36 am

Byz--it's an epidemic among kids that are ignored by their parents.

8:37 am

So sad, Annie, that I want to adopt hundreds of kids.

8:37 am

egads.. a disturbing observation

8:38 am

Scrabbs, Does that happened across the entire practice? Or just in pockets?

8:38 am

I am awaiting a newly published book by Leonard Sax, MD, The Collapse of Parenting. He gets it.

8:39 am

oh what fools we Mo7 be

8:40 am

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.

8:40 am

thanks, aloy

8:40 am

love is not love which alters where it alteration finds or bends with the re7 to re6...

8:41 am

I must get ready to do my mother's shopping and then visit with her. Enjoy the day, folks. :-)

8:41 am

good seeing you Scrabbs.. have a great day too!

8:41 am

Enjoy your visit. Bye scrabbs. Will look at the data.

TY Douglas

4:16 pm

funny... shoe box school projects seem to be universal

4:16 pm

By the logic of lo5, "creamcheesed" should be a word too. I'm ok with that, being fond of cream cheese.

I think it was a way for the teacher to keep us occupied for an hour

4:24 pm

so you bend the spine back?

4:25 pm

no, you fold each page and as they are folded it opens up

4:25 pm

lol kje, just logged in to see your bagel post

yesterday's grid seemed friendlier than today's.. or maybe I'm just slower today

4:28 pm

I'm sure with something more than construction paper and 1st grade ability, it could look much better, wv!

4:28 pm

no, it was easier, ahoy

4:28 pm

this one has more odd words

4:28 pm

but then again... maybe you are slower ; )

4:29 pm

ahh, that must be the problem.. lol.. no, I really did zip through yesterday's, and I'm slogging through today's

4:29 pm

yesterdays was nice - this is more arduous - and Babble seems to be 'eating' more than usual too

4:30 pm

yesterday's was big, but mostly normal words... I got much further in it before listing

4:30 pm

hey, that happens to you too, lynxx? When I finally "earn" the list, I swear I entered a bunch of words previously!
