This junk is greasy I hate it but they said it will help so I need to give it a good try. Personally I think coconut oil works just as well.

1:43 am

Isn't that fair dinkums

1:43 am

Hello again Ru

1:44 am

Hi mel

1:47 am

well done ruru. but no s on the end

1:47 am

Brb going to get a snack

1:47 am

Ok

1:53 am

Ok I have oranges and Dark chocolate anyone want some?

1:55 am

To plural face blemishes always seems wrong to me, if you have several pimples you don't say I have ac5/12 lol

then, why not have deaden as a synonym for murder?

2:23 am

deaden is an adjective meaning muffle or stifle. We could verbize it, but the connotation would be very different than murder.

2:25 am

good morning

You take my chat out of context

Hello, Ruby

2:29 am

does that make your comments existential?

No, but it was not intended to be taken seriously.

2:32 am

I've never understood "existential threats" although the term is bandied about by low-brow newscasters

2:33 am

55 to go and listing I think must be lots of scientific latin archaic British spelings in the grid lol

2:34 am

hello mel

2:34 am

Hello Ruby ((hugs))

existential threats refer to existence ... concerns about survival.

2:36 am

Amino

2:36 am

Dammit sorry

2:37 am

54 now lol

2:40 am

Cant list I need one more grey square :(

2:55 am

20 to go but just too sleepy, will find them in the morning, goodnight all

2:56 am

So many deaths this month! I think people wait until the holidays are over

2:56 am

hello and bonne nuit, flosey

2:57 am

hello dear Ruby, good to see you here

2:58 am

It is grey and cold here but at least the days are getting longer

2:58 am

here it's almost 1: am, must get to bed

2:58 am

bb tomorrow

2:58 am

I think Spring will come

58 days and 20 some hours until the calendar notes the arrival of spring

3:08 am

how strange theb...it's that long until our autumn... loll

3:09 am

Spring is my favorite time here. When I lived in upstate NY, it snowed until May, Spring seemed to lat 3 days, and summer was muggy and grey

3:09 am

((rosie!!))

3:09 am

{{hugs}} my darling. how are you holding up?

3:10 am

Here, Spring last for 3 or 4 months, and the garden is magnifique!

3:11 am

I'm doing fine, Rosie. Maybe I'll "crash" later, but I think this whole thing lasted so long that my sadness was prolonged annd now I feel relieved as much as anything

3:12 am

No tears left

3:12 am

whoops, sorry for te***

3:13 am

i understand my darling. you have already done your grieving.

3:20 am

sending love to you both

3:22 am

((sandy)) I'm glad we're back in touch; I'll wr*** a proper letter soon but, for the mo, I'm not doing much

3:22 am

It's funny that it is so hot there and so bitterly cold here

3:23 am

I hope you are warm Ruby and I hope you are feeling well Rose

3:24 am

Its not hot here at the moment we have had unseasonable rain 100mm overnight and the next night 70 mm It filled our water tank up a huge amount

3:24 am

I'm huddled in front of the fire with freezing hands but at least it's a little bit warmer than yesterday

3:24 am

I thought everyone in Europe had central heating

3:25 am

so the fire danger has passed? Is there a danger of flooding with all that rain?

3:25 am

not in this house!

3:25 am

My daughter and her husband and the baby have been in England for the last 6 weeks and it is snowing there,

3:26 am

And I never thought to ask when we bought it as in the US, it's taken for granted.

3:26 am

No flooding here and the rain has put the huge fire out

3:26 am

Is it snowing there?

3:26 am

I have a radiator in my bathroom but the house is too big to heat with radiators here and there

3:27 am

It was so hot before the fire - Perth had 45 degrees celcius-Margaret river is never that hot

3:28 am

What about your bedroom -is that heated?

3:28 am

There has finally been snow in the nearby mountains, but not much here, 1'000 feet lower

3:29 am

I'm happy without snow, although it's pretty, it just makes life harder

3:29 am

I guess I will never know that sort of hardship - no snow here

3:30 am

g'day sandy. doing reasonably well thanx dear.and how are you faring??

3:31 am

The weather here is really great , a bit like winter so I love it and I am faring very well thankyou

3:31 am

I used to love it when I was still skiing, but the danger of being run over by a n out-of-control snowboarder made it too scary;

for many years we had winter, flooding and road construction as the seasons

3:31 am

even though I always skied with a (big) guide for protection

3:32 am

a hansome one I bet

3:32 am

that sounds like Binghamton, Byz

3:32 am

you betcha

3:32 am

I read your profile byz and it is very funny

3:34 am

It would be funny if it wasn't true!

3:35 am

My husband has been fixated on the presidental debates, They are also very amusing this year

3:37 am

Ihope you have had some company today Ruby

3:37 am

Trump is scary but I've liked Hillaary for a long time, even though she's an oild pol.

3:38 am

I also like Hilary but I wonder if anyone takes Trump seriously

3:38 am

My Scottish friends are takingme out to luch, the housekeeper just left and, once I warm up, I'll try to accomplish something.

3:39 am

This afternoon, a friend is coming for tea and the nurse is coming to give me a bone shot

3:39 am

That is nice, I am glad that you have friends to support you

3:40 am

I love this place!

3:40 am

I guess you are speaking fluent french by now

3:42 am

American accent, but fluent, and they all understand me. The only thing I don't "get" is Fr humor.

3:43 am

Well I guess its all a cultural thing- our american relatives don't get our humour all the time either

3:44 am

What time is it there, its 5.44pm here

3:44 am

Acutally its 'wine o'clock'

3:50 am

And being that time I am off for a glass with my dinner - so bye to all and love to you Ruby and to you Rose

3:52 am

salut! for wine o'clock

3:55 am

rosie, is it wine time for you or dinner first?

3:56 am

As I used to say, "It's 5 o'clock someplace"

4:08 am

Time for breakfast, be back later

Am I being blind/thick not seeing the sa8?

6:05 am

6:12 am

Hi Scrabs

6:13 am

Hi Bichon

OK, I am blind or thick ....thanks guys

6:13 am

Which S is that sa8 from?

6:13 am

bottom

The bottom one

6:14 am

Nevermind, I found it.

6:14 am

That is one curvy word.

6:24 am

Good morning

6:25 am

Hi Car. How are you? How has your back been doing?

6:25 am

Hello...awful.

6:26 am

Nooo! Time for injections again?

6:27 am

Honestly, I don't think they are working. I'm supposed to go back for one more...targeted on my "hot spot", but I'm hesitant to go.

6:27 am

If I think back over the course, the most I have gotten for relief is a couple of weeks.

6:27 am

Is it all in your SI joints?

6:27 am

That is the question.

6:28 am

Am I to think that maybe the injections are not being administered accurately or should I go back to the NeuroSpine doc and say this isn't working, or what?

6:29 am

There can be other sources. Piriformis muscle. Other neuralgia. Yes, go back to that doc if you are suffering.

6:30 am

Injecting into the SI joint is straightforward.

6:30 am

Then I got minimal relief from those injections, but it did nothing for the "hot spot".

6:31 am

There are muscles within the pelvis that connect to the SI joint area from within. Piriformis muscle is one of those. Synovial cyst on spine can cause pain too, but you had an MRI, right?

6:32 am

Anyway, how are you?

6:32 am

Been snow shoeing?

6:32 am

Sorry, I must get ready for work. Please return to your doc.

6:32 am

I will. I hope you have a great day. Thank you, always, for your advice. ((hugs))

6:32 am

Lots of XC-skiing.

6:36 am

4:47 pm

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

you ok hurshy?

4:49 pm

feeling a bit disappointed and discouraged, so i thought i would yell to let off steam

4:49 pm

not sure if virtual yelling works for that

well did it?!

4:51 pm

i think it did a little, yeah

why disappointed/discouraged?

4:54 pm

i am an aide for a couple teachers at an elementary school. one of them is away this week. there is a sub, but today i was to do a bit of the teaching. i was looking forward to it and excited. i thought they would behave fine because they normally do, and they already know me and stuff. but they were DREADFUL.

4:55 pm

We call it submarining the "sub". Not unusual but alpha dog needs to step up and lay down the law. Things will usually settle.

oh that is disappointing. Why are kids (even good kids) seemingly programmed to act up with substitute teachers? It's like, free pass today

4:56 pm

search

4:56 pm

they weren't even this bad with the regular sub, the two days prior! and they don't know her!

maybe knowing you, they know the buttons to push?

4:57 pm

there weren't any particular things, just, talking constantly out of turn, saying funny things to each other and laughing, general disruptiveness

4:58 pm

Many kids today are not polite or well behaved. Parenting skills have gone in the toilet.

4:58 pm

the sub said that she thought i handled it beautifully and she was leaving a note for the regular teacher to that effect, and that she has heard from the other fifth grade teachers that the kids are all crazy this week cause they are putting on a show, i think tomorrow, and have been having a lot of last-minute rehearsals this week

ugh that would annoy the hell out of me, which is one good reason i'm not a teacher

well that's great feedback from the sub! And maybe it wasn't you, it is the stress of rehearsals and the show

and I bet 5th graders are far more excited about their show than math, english etc.

5:01 pm

yeah

but blow off all the steam you need to! I'll just cover my ears next time ;)

5:01 pm

lol

5:02 pm

Evening, all. I would pull out the cell phone and start filming. Tell them the Principal will be interested to see how they are all acting.

or even their regular teacher when s/he comes back.

5:03 pm

yes - well, i certainly plan to tell her about it and i kinda bet she will have a serious talk with them.

5:03 pm

unless i get a chance to deal with it tomorrow.

5:04 pm

Oh but teachers "aren't supposed" to use their cell phones. (But they do)

5:04 pm

it's a private school so i'm not sure we have a rule against that molly

I'm sure it depends on the school and the circumstances...

5:05 pm

But the kids wouldn't know that...

5:05 pm

Ah, a private school. Teachers in the public schools in our area are not supposed to have their cell phones on during school hours.

5:06 pm

If it's a private school, have the individual students call home and have them discuss their attitude with their parents. Make it an invitation. They usually decide not to call.

really? what if there is an emergency (their kid is sick or injured e.g.)

5:06 pm

... or to record a crime in progress.

5:06 pm

I like the cell phone video idea. I have to sub for 10th grade English class tomorrow morning (I work as an Ed Tech III in the shcool, the kids know me) and the group is absolutely out of control. I would be curious if this is legal to do and whether or not it would improve behavior...

5:06 pm

what i would like to do if i get a few mins tomorrow is just tell them, that i had really been looking forward to the class and that by the end i felt very disappointed and discouraged. and then maybe ask them to put down their heads, and anyone who knows they were part of the problem, raise your hand, and i will take that as an apology.

5:07 pm

Try it.

5:07 pm

No no! They can smell weakness.

fuzzy, i bet one of the little darlings would run home and tell mommy/daddy they were "filmed" without permission

5:08 pm

the pedagogical stuff i have been studying suggests that students respond to honesty like that.

5:09 pm

I could guarantee it!

i dunno hurshy, it might work when you already know them. Kids generally don't like to disappoint adults they know and like.

5:09 pm

Most do. The leaders can pick up on being treated with maturity. If not, put down the consequences and let them deal with those.

5:09 pm

yeah that is what i'm thinking blah

I suppose it could go either way. Maybe best to wait and discuss

with the regular teacher, and think about strategies

5:11 pm

there are only 2 girls in the class, and one was out today. the other one was so annoyed by the end that she asked if she could go work on the writing assignment in the library. i would have let her but class was over anyways.

5:11 pm

Oh, but I would love to be able to show the parents how their darlings comport themselves. Unfortunately the parent's would probably say it is my fault for not taking control.

5:12 pm

last word: wh5/22 - weird one

5:12 pm

when you wh5 upon a star?

5:12 pm

I had a teacher who used to slam the yard stick on his desk when he wanted undivided attention. Of course, there's probably no yard sticks in sight.

i know right fuzzy? Catch-22

5:13 pm

Yup!

new one to me hurshy

5:13 pm

oh judi, my 8th grade english teacher would do that. and also, if a kid like, fell asleep, he would lift up the front of their desk and then let it drop, that was a funny one.

oh my...

5:15 pm

My 5th grade teacher would throw chalky erasers at those who weren't paying attention. \

5:15 pm

No chalk boards now either.

oh yeah I had teachers do that. Probably no chalk or erasers any more either lol

5:16 pm

Capital punishment. Those were the good old days.

lol

5:21 pm

yeah we have dry erase boards now

5:22 pm

No wonder teachers can't get a break. They've taken all the weapons away from them. Damn liberals!

5:23 pm

The no cell phone use during school hours is to make sure that the students realize that THEY and THE TEACHERS are supposed to be concentrating on learning, not their cell phones. I"m sure all teachers have the school office phone number down as an emergency contact. Just like they did before the advent of cell phones.

5:24 pm

Don't most schools have intercom systems still? All the schools I went to (100 years ago) did. Phones right in the rooms.

5:26 pm

Woe to those who were summoned via intercom.

5:27 pm

So often it seems like people have forgotten that life went on just fine before people had cell phones strapped to their hips at all times.

5:28 pm

Hard to believe. But true.

5:28 pm

we have phones in the rooms where you can dial just 3 digits to get another phone in the system.

But now we do, and it is mighty handy. Just like having computers are handy for playing word games, altho I guess we made do with our solo games on paper before

5:28 pm

and we do also have an intercom

Anyone have a car break down or a blown tire in the middle of the night before cell phones? Kinda sucked.

5:29 pm

Yep. Good old intercoms. Although, I still think flare guns would be a good back-up.

5:31 pm

Yeah. That used to suck, Blah. YOu had to schlep to a pay phone or a gas station to seek rescue.

5:31 pm

Or, risk your life hitch-hiking.

right, or wait in the car hoping a cop would come along

and not a knife-wielding maniac

5:33 pm

Or some hillbillies who needed an extra banjo player.

oh judi lol

5:34 pm

... Reckon we'll fix that tire. Right after we make you squeeeeeeel like a pig!

5:34 pm

What have I happened upon here? :D

oh my, really did laugh out loud judi

a rapidly devolving chat ori

5:36 pm

We've gone from unruly 5th graders to unwittingly driving your car into Deliverance.

6:19 pm

2Bit always gets the hard part of the grid out of the way first

6:20 pm

I'm still waiting for The Feds to close. That always makes a snow event more official.

6:21 pm

they're unlikely to close fully tomorrow, but may do the "liberal leave" or early dismissal

6:21 pm

a week ago we were listed as 12+ inches - now we're < 1 inch :)

6:22 pm

much more likely to close Monday, unless it's miraculously warm & melty on Sunday

6:23 pm

the March for Lifers are likely to get stranded

6:26 pm

The Feds are idiots. Much better to shut down completely tomorrow and reduce the risk of THE DEDICATED getting stranded/injured/killed on the way home.

6:27 pm

tough grid. will bbl to list.

10:26 pm

true, and the twisty ones .. give you Babble-eyes

10:26 pm

I'll save the contents to throw on the snow when the blizzard arrives. . .

10:28 pm

egads.. are you in that zone? Hope you are going to hunker down and not try to get out on the roads

10:30 pm

yes I am dan2bit and molls are right in the middle of the worst. . . 10 to 24 inches are expected before sunday. . .

10:31 pm

I will take the metro to work in the morning but they are shutting down shop at 3 and then I will take metro home (or four blocks short) and then will stay within my house and block for the duration. . . I just hope i don't lose power. . .

10:32 pm

i will charge up all my batteries before hand so if the power goes out I can still babble . . . .for awhile anyway. . .

10:33 pm

when i was in Kenya my laptop battery sustained me for quite a while one night . . .and then once in a snow storm in Indiana. . .

10:34 pm

hope so too.. will be thinking of all of you in the storm's path. fw here.. need any clues before I hit the sack? When I lived in Va., there wasn't snow removal equipment to take care of an inch much less a foot of snow.. don't think things have improved much since then because every snow is "an unusual winter" event

10:35 pm

no thanks i am bagging it for the night now too. . . i'll be fine. . . love living in the city when snow comes. . . maybe ill invite the young girls from next door to help me make cookies. . . .and give their folks a break . . .
