7:36 am

Trif, can you nap today?

7:37 am

tertiare didn't say so much as a word until 3, scrabbler, and she is fine now. I get the worry factor though.

7:37 am

no, no nap time for me today. full day, every second booked

7:38 am

He is progressing, I just worry that the teachers will not be patient or tolerant. He started preschool at 3 and they asked that he leave within 1 wk, but that was a teacher issue, which really angered us.

7:39 am

oh my god...that is horrible.

7:39 am

good grief, scrabs!

7:39 am

the last grad course I took the prof was AWFUL, and as a result we all got lazy as anything. started a new class on Wednesday night, and the new prof is the total opposite - stickler for rules, will be testing us every week on the reading, 25 hours of observations and three papers to write...

7:40 am

scrabbler, that is complete unacceptable for a teacher to do! I would have been furious. did he find a better preschool to attend?

7:40 am

Yes, he was upset one day when no one could understand him and bit a kid so the penalty was expulsion. To me that was a failure of the teachers to understand young kids and to be patient with his development.

7:41 am

jeezomeez :-(

7:41 am

One strike and you are out? what sort of draconian policy is that?

7:42 am

There were 2 teachers and 12 kids and the teachers said they were overwhelmed as they could not help a kid that could not communicate. We were so disappointed. He will return to the same school as it is a 2 minute walk from home. He is speaking better but is now at a 2.5, maybe 2.75 yr old level, and will be 4 in July.

7:43 am

But he knew all of the letters at 33 months and can read all of the names of our solar system which is his obsession. No, he is not autistic.

7:43 am

are early intervention services available?

7:44 am

He started speech therapy at 30 mo but it hasn't helped much. He is just a late talker. He fits the definition of the Einstein syndrome to a T.

7:47 am

http://tinyurl.com/jt26z4l

7:48 am

btw scrabbler, where do fall in the PANDAS controversy? true? false? overdiagnosed?

7:48 am

New to me but when researching late-talkers I discovered it and Jax fits it.

7:49 am

Probably true in some cases, but oversuspected. I have never seen a case, Trif.

7:50 am

I have had five students so far with the diagnosis - only one I suspect actually had something like what they describe.

7:51 am

from an educational perspective, it doesn't actually matter if it is true or not. If the parents get a doctor to sign off on it, we have to treat it as a sped case, and the parents can ask for whatever they want. that is how one family got to have their three children home schooled at the districts' expense.

7:52 am

School anxiety and refusal are SO difficult to treat, especially when the parents enable the child to avoid school.

7:53 am

I just did a huge research paper on PANDAS and it was so sobering. half of these kids are on the wrong meds, either way

7:55 am

What did you learn?

7:57 am

that half the kids have psychiatric disorders the parents don't want to face, so the parents put them on courses of antibiotics, sometimes for YEARS, IVG, and other means. the other half of the kids probably DO have PANDAS. and are on psychiatric meds they don't need, including blood thinners for tourettes, when what the really should be taking is a good course of antibiotics to get the titers in their basal ganglia down.

7:58 am

the pandas parent network is INSANE - I was looking at it from an educational perspective, and the things they expect from teachers are completely unreasonable.

8:00 am

one particularly frothy mom wrote an endless rant about how her daughter's teacher was "unworkable" because the parent had explained to the teacher that on certain days her daughter would need the accommodations in her IEP, but on other days she wouldn't depending on how high her Lyme titer was. but the parent was not having her daughter's Lyme titer reported to the teacher, nor even checked, the teacher was just supposed to intuit when her daughter needed the supports. In a public school class, with 29 students, 11 of whom were also on IEPs?

8:00 am

Yes, I figured. So many parents do not prepare their kids for adulthood and, instead, enable them to remain stuck in toddlerhood--egocentric, throwing tantrums, having no emotional regulation.

8:02 am

at the end of the day, its a child's LIFE - it all made me so sad

8:02 am

I was going to mention Lyme disease too as "chronic" Lyme disease is another controversial area of infectious disease in which some docs get rich from anxious folks.

8:03 am

I see it every day in my office, parents NOT preparing their child for emancipation and adulthood.

8:03 am

of course not! what does a helicopter do when the target flies away?

8:04 am

And the other term is "snowplow parenting." Clear the way of all problems so your child never has to face adversity or challenge.

8:05 am

I hope Jax has a positive experience this time around. poor little guy

8:05 am

hello all

8:05 am

Hi

8:05 am

8:06 am

Hi MLFAN

I'm in Chicago.

8:12 am

Nice to meet you Hurshy

8:13 am

you posted a clue and then apologized cause it would imply past tense when that wasn't what the word was. the fact that you know grammar and notice your own mistakes was what impressed me :)

8:13 am

LOL Hurshy!

8:23 am

I don't either

8:24 am

ty pen...wasn't spelling the or8 correctly

8:24 am

8:27 am

done

8:27 am

60 left for later. My sister and I are going to buy me some new bras, my least favorite shopping experience.

8:28 am

according to what I always here on tv is that women don't buy the right size for themselves anyway

8:28 am

congrats phae

8:29 am

congrats...

8:30 am

heard on tv sorry

8:30 am

I'm off too. good bye all, and lot of love

8:32 am

ty

8:33 am

happy babbling...pretty simple grid

8:42 am

Women seldom buy the right bra size. Get measured. It's the only way to get the correct fit.

8:43 am

And invest in some comfortable bras. As they can be the most uncomfortable thing to wear if they don't fit or are of crappy quality.

8:46 am

i am heading out....down to 25 and it's slow going...bbl to finish...bye all...

9:30 am

<---should have been a bra measurere

9:31 am

Missed your calling, so make the breast of it. :)

9:31 am

damn.. lol good one hego

9:32 am

Once in a while...

9:33 am

I would be a careful measurer though...exacting if you will

9:33 am

Bunny lady would be a challenge as she is quite well endowed.

9:34 am

they'd come in handy if her kayak ever flips I guess

9:35 am

:)

9:36 am

I kid her about those flotation devices.

9:36 am

see there ya go

9:36 am

:)

9:39 am

well. I can see this grid is also problematic after being so easy for a long while

9:39 am

I flew thru the first 45 and then bang!

9:40 am

Better go. Stuff to do. bbl

9:40 am

ok bye

9:41 am

Poof!

9:42 am

<---Just fainted at the idea of Ru measuring Scrabbler for a bra

9:42 am

good morning darling ! :D

9:43 am

Hello cupcake ♥♥♥

9:43 am

lol

9:46 am

I'm good at this. I used to have a running bit with one of the guys I worked with that involved schmoopy, lovey-dovey phrases. Hence, he is the only one who ever got away with "Moll Doll". : D

9:46 am

name that noun.. which presidential candidate is in the grid

9:46 am

moll doll. love it

9:47 am

I can be RU Pooh

9:47 am

Bernie, but we are doomed to one of the other losers I'm afraid.

9:47 am

it's a catastrophe either way isn't it?

9:48 am

Yes, and the nimrod American voters will make it another 8 year catastrophe instead of just 4.

9:49 am

uh oh politics

9:50 am

*Puts out little satin pillows for the sensitive

9:50 am

some of us like to escape from politics here

9:51 am

it's a quick discussion don't worry about it

9:51 am

Golly gee whillikers, how's the weather?

9:52 am

<---thinks for the next year politics are going to be hard to avoid

9:52 am

Some of us like to avoid constant cluing here, but that never seems to make it not happen

9:53 am

puts out little satin pillow for the sensitve

9:54 am

<--finished the s's one small miracle

9:56 am

Ah, we love miracles Reverend Ru. Hallelujah and Amen.

9:57 am

down to 17 but now stumped

9:58 am

Oh where are all the cheerleaders who would say Go Ru Go!!!

10:00 am

I'm afraid that wouldn't help me today

10:05 am

ah a hidden plural

10:19 am

hello

10:20 am

__ this morning but stuck now

10:20 am

88

10:21 am

how can a plural be hidden unless it's ae or ii?

10:22 am

... maybe it's all twisty ... or maybe the singular starts at one letter but the plural starts at another

10:22 am

Stuck and stumped, and yet earlier someone said it was a pretty simple grid. Just goes to show the different takes from different players.

10:22 am

hello dose

10:23 am

Nobody has ever heard me say how easy a grid is!

10:23 am

... only sarcastically .. .. afternoon ruby

10:24 am

There are those who claim "easy peasy" for even the most difficult of grids for others. It is really a matter of perspective. I would never call a grid easy, just because that seems demeaning to those who find them difficult.

10:26 am

... In eight years I've managed to complete two without using a list or clues ... ... nothing is easy until after you've seen the answer ... and this grid isn't going to be the third

10:27 am

I've only finished a couple of time because Molly carried me across the finish line

10:29 am

... is the tour going down your street this year ruby?

10:29 am

I gave up trying to finish every day a while ago. I was devoting way too much time to this place. Life is so much more than that.

10:30 am

... quite agree ... took up the same approach myself

10:30 am

I saw the route (I think) last summer and I don't think it will be close but it's better on television, anyway.

10:31 am

I'm too OCD to not finish a grid

10:31 am

I never finish. I just play until I run out of steam.

10:31 am

Last summer was such a catastrophe, that it's hard to remember!

10:32 am

Did you see my (clean) limerick yesterday, ru?

10:32 am

no. I missed it sorry ruby

10:32 am

I can see why OCD people would feel compelled to finish every day.

10:33 am

your name is easy to rhyme

10:33 am

... I know how you feel ... I haven't paid nearly the attention since Ryder Hesjedal won the Giro and then fell in the Tour and then got caught with some drug ... no one to cheer for any more

10:33 am

Ruby, you need to rewrite. Ru's limerick should be dirty, dirty, dirty. : D

10:33 am

I just don't like most things to get on top of me molly

10:33 am

I thought I was OCD but not about Babble

10:34 am

Most things...yes...most things ahahahaha

10:34 am

I keep the dirty ones in my head -- they're too "easy peasy" to write since everything rhymes with luck

10:35 am

I'm missing a b combo somewhere

10:35 am

There was a young Ruru with luck...

10:36 am

And Molly who hadlots ofpluck

10:37 am

They played many word games

10:37 am

Oh my, we had better stop right there. Otherwise we will have to get out the satin pillows again.

10:38 am

And never did name names

10:38 am

But Ruby is passing the buck

10:38 am

hah!

10:41 am

and ru managed to get himself unstuck

10:43 am

Ah, done with pluck, without running amok

10:45 am

DISCLAIMER: No old ladies or prudes were offended by these limerick lines.

10:45 am

Amen

10:46 am

I'm an old lady....and I'm alive!

10:47 am

see you later kids, time to cook dogs' dinner

10:48 am

I have to run for a bit.. a guy is coming to install some blinds here today.. need to straighten up

You do that a lot. I assumed he was a hero of yours.

11:28 am

I love all the Simpsons characters!

11:28 am

Sadly, I haven't watched it in ages. Must do a binge watch, one of these days.

11:30 am

Binge watching Game of Thrones. Sadly am hooked.

11:31 am

It's all my nephews' fault.

11:31 am

Ha. My prom date's name is in the grid as well.

11:31 am

the grid is sending you vibes.

11:32 am

Such a manly grid.

11:32 am

There is a lot of good humor in The Simpsons. Which is why it has had such a long run.

11:32 am

I love Lisa the best.

11:33 am

Lisa, the geek child.

11:33 am

Personally, I think exclamation points are so much more expressive than italics.

11:50 am

Okay. Time for clues. Mo6/21?

Uhg. Thanks, again.

11:59 am

Do you actually meet interesting people at exercise classes?

12:00 pm

Whispers: *Peri has a sweaty friend fetish*

12:01 pm

I think regular exercise is great. I prefer walking to group sweat sessions.

12:01 pm

yes in the body sculpting class. which is in one gym. I also go to the Y and use the machines there and have not made any friends so far. maybe if I join one of the classes. I tried some of the senior classes at the Y and they were too low level for me. The other classes look too fast paced so I stick to the machines.

1:06 pm

so true... it's really crazy... Hilary I get.. Mitt Romney I even get.. Trump? I thought I was hallucinating

1:07 pm

I think everyone did

1:08 pm

he wrote the most hilarious editorial in one of our local papers. let me see if I can find the link. It was ... quite something

1:10 pm

http://tinyurl.com/hob75kf its worth a read for the sheer wtfuckery. he won scotlsnd apparently

1:11 pm

Agreed. Here in MN we had our "celebrity" governor several years ago & we have finally recovered financially from him (Jesse Ventura). Lord help this country if Trump gets in. The problem is that too many people get their news from the talking heads media on TV... :-(

1:12 pm

I'm trying to print this ata thank you

hello all. just back from a jaunt where I found the ag college farm market. lovely plants but also a big bakery. hard to resist

1:14 pm

hi TO! soudns fun!

1:15 pm

Hi TO. That does sound like fun.

i did not buy anything edible but now am sitting here grumpily wishing i had.

hey ata, hey nef

have lived so close it was the road never taken. got some lovely nicotiana to match my coleus.

1:17 pm

sounds a good discovery :)

i love farmer's markets...we have several nice ones in and around dallas

1:20 pm

we have one here.. I never seem to get around to going there

i don't go very often, but when i do i come home with waaaaay too much produce

actually, it is the agricultural college market. they raise animals, wondering if they serve them. they advertised home smoked pork.

1:21 pm

We have a number of them here too. Our community has one that's every Tuesday evening during the summer; which I like to go to. But the problem is that our CSA basket comes on Wednesday afternoon; so if I buy something at the farmers market, I may end up with twice as much of 1 item and none of another (we don't know what we're getting each week for CSA, but it's usually nearly a bushel of veggies).

I'd like to find a CSA here. I think it would be fun to create good meals with "surprise" ingredients.

1:24 pm

TO, our ag campus (part of the U of MN) sells meats every Wednesday afternoon during the school terms. We can get any type of meats (beef, pork, chicken, and occasionally turkey) all packaged

1:24 pm

what's csa?

1:25 pm

whats CSA?

1:25 pm

Community Sponsored Agriculture

1:25 pm

oh

1:25 pm

thats neat!

you sign up and for a weekly or monthly fee, you get a basket of whatever fresh produce is in season

1:25 pm

We pay the farmer in the spring & get shares of his crops for the whole summer

1:26 pm

We paid somewhere around $500; and then for 20 or 22 weeks we get from 3/4 to a full bushel of whatever is ready that week

1:27 pm

we don't have any farmes markets nearby but we have a local farmer who has a little shed with an honesty box in and he puts out whatever produce he has left over that day. gorgeous stuff

1:27 pm

oh that's a great idea

it's a great idea, for the consumers and the farmer

1:27 pm

(you can get half shares too; but we do this with our son & also our daughter

1:28 pm

I can do that with wine :D

1:28 pm

That might be interesting

i need to mow the lawn but i can hardly function outdoors, there is so much pollen today.

1:31 pm

I have a way to fix that TO

get a goat?

1:31 pm

send someone else to lawn mow?

1:32 pm

hire a gardener

1:32 pm

a goat is a great idea though

will wait till next week. goats are lovely but they smell awful. good way to get neighbor's goat.

1:33 pm

I need to go do some work outside too. :-( it's cold here today so I'm not too anxious to start it.

1:33 pm

2:09 pm

orts are just scraps, garbage, so i'm sure they have them even in tuscany

For Ru.... A little nun was sitting in her bath tub, when there was a knock on the door. "Its the blind man" said the voice. Come on in, says the nun, figuring he is blind, what the heck.... Swarthy muscle-bound 20-something year old enters the bathroom, ogles the nun, and askes

4:12 pm

For Ru.... A little nun was sitting in her bath tub, when there was a knock on the door. "Its the blind man" said the voice. Come on in, says the nun, figuring he is blind, what the heck.... Swarthy muscle-bound 20-something year old enters the bathroom, ogles the nun, and askes

4:12 pm

asks... So Where do you want these blinds???

4:12 pm

haha

4:13 pm

The old ones are the good ones, Peri!!

4:13 pm

Hi Worzel... I was always crap at telling jokes....

4:15 pm

help with re5/16 pls

4:15 pm

She figured he was blind and, as he walks in, he says to her: "Nice t*ts, where do you want the blind?" Don't worry about being crap at telling jokes - it was just as well you missed out that line lmao!!!

4:17 pm

4:18 pm

Oh dear, Worzel. I though

4:19 pm

I thought you joke was just fine, soodle

4:20 pm

so did I soodle your joke was fine! Don't worry - it just adds a bit of smut and naughtiness to the joke with the extra line.

4:22 pm

If I was a comedian on a stage now, I would have died a thousand deaths. Nothing like having to explain/justify a joke to kill it stone dead. Disregard my last couple of posts, please....

4:23 pm
