{{hugs}} and good morning my dearest. how did the other day go?
*hugs rose* Hello my darling friend. How was your day and how are you feeling?
my day went very well. Incredibly intensive and rewarding. Will write you an email about it.
took endone last night and nearly slept the clock round. today was out with june for lunch.
prolly not today yet though... am still very tired.
understand honey.
proud of you! So glad you took the endone. You needed the rest, badly. How are you feeling now?
all good. it seems i just had to get the post-op knee pain under control.
awesome. You did well! Glad you could enjoy your outing with June.
you still with me, darling?
yup, xoxox
:D am glad. Missed seeing you yesterday.
yeah... i noticed. i hung around for as long as i could.
aw sweetie, so sorry! I thought I had told you it was family constellation day?
oh dear.... you did too. if you find my brain could you please send it back?
AND i just asked you about it too. *sigh*
*giggles* Don't you know how wonderful it is to be friends with someone who does the same kind of weird braindead stuff as I do?
mind you, don keeps talking to me. i did ask him to check out kindles. i want to buy one for Deacon's christmas.
ohhhh lovely gift. I am still sad my gift to our pug never worked out
oh and i found a double waterslide for all of them. the kind you put on the ground and run water over it.then the kids take a run at it and slide along on their tummies.
oh that is so much fun
and i found a gift pack for Claudia. it has fake nails, fake tattoos, lipsticks, lip balm, nail polish, hairclips, and a little bag to put stuff into.
she will LOVE it
got one for my niece too. she's about to turn six.
perfect gift for that age
how you doing with this grid?
halfway. I even found a 9 and an 8 :D
well done. i had a ball.
so far it is great.
brb,
brb,

back for a bit. don has nearly finished getting dinner ready.
good man, Don!
my two customers for bridal nails are very happy with my designs :) Am gonna make a test hand on fake nails this week, so they can see it together.
yay sprite. how wonderful. and so her reputation grows.... loll
it is slow going, but I keep reminding myself that it has to work out, as long as I don't give up.
of course it's going to work... silly girl.
lol, I just struck a great deal with a friend who is a singing teacher for professional singers... we are gonna exchange sessions. Once a month nails for her, and singing advice for me!
rose, my darling... sometimes it is really hard to believe that I will come through this time, some day. To keep faith, in myself and in the Big Guy. Right now it is really, really hard.
i know honey. it's a hard row for you to hoe.
too true. *curls up and hides under rose's wings*
uh oh. we have had a really bad storm predicted and i think it has just arrived. i had better turn this off. a storm cell i think it's called.
ouch. Take care, honey. *hugs*
stay true to yourself, sweetie and be kind too. xoxox

YaY ruby for La Tour De France 2017!
Ugh you can have the cold, Sprite I will go for the mild.
I dream of warm beaches.....

Yes, but not this.
I play piano and piano duet
ooooh *i* see it's a NTPN!
You may have heard of this instrument. It is very modern, but obscure to the general public
i'm afraid i'm the general public when it comes to music
Should I unveil?
mind currently stuffed with Christmas music. Doing piano duet concerts Saturday, Monday and Saturday.
74 to go
yes, please.
Very cool.
unveiling fine by me!!

It's a fleeting concept, mixi.
Stepped away to let HVAC repairmen in...

Heat and air

It worked for them. I feel dumb.

Probably! ::

I have had a few dogs and cats in my lifetime not easy to lose a pet in any way shape or form
i am also a great nana to a delightful 7 year old human named sam
he calls me g'nana
oooh gwen is here
sam as in Samuel or Samantha?
samuel
name that proper noun! planet home to people that are sometimes likened to potatoes by less-potato-like beings
funnily enough, our boy sam is also named after a cat
sam seems to be a popular name in Babble apparently:)
40 to go
200 left to go
yup
satern? eartt? tralfamadore?
satern is not a word book
gwennnnnnn how can you get this wrong? you have a dalek as your picture!
you know, they chant "(name of planet) HA!" over and over...
oh, THOSE potatoes. DUH
darn, no points for sontar
ding ding ding!
I just found ea 7/28
or sontaric LOL
is that a word gwen?
fake planet (sontar) and fake adjective
dogstar also not good while we're making up celestial references :)
ohh
Sontar was the answer for my name that proper noun
gwen have you been watching the recreated doctor with the second doctor?
they say the first actor to play a Sontaran boldly claimed to be a Sontarian and the producer had to set him straight. silly actor. LOL
hi temple, of course! I am loving it.
a contrarian sontarian
saw it in the theater, it was fun!
all of it or just one part?
all of it, the monday before BBC america started the serial
ooooh! (no spoilers please)
speaking of actors misspeaking, one of my favorite stories is this: alicia silverstone, in Clueless, pronounced Haitians as "Haiti - ans", because she just thought that was the way it was pronounced. it fit her character so perfectly, they instructed everyone NOT to tell her the correct pronunciation until after the film had been wrapped up, lest she be embarrassed and want to "fix" it.
but o f course not
and with that anecdote, i must away. ttfn!
they also showed a trailer of how it was made and wit penny as she is now
hait-ans -- kind of sounds like "people who hate" LOL
I loved the movie Clueless
39 words left, and 14 of them start with S
oh fun mool
something like that
are li 8 9 and 10 related or just 8/9?
or 910 sorry
9/10
more than halfway, woot
yes
the li words are related
all 3 mool?
it was really remarkable, with all the fan input. those are some rabid fans
8 is an adjective, 9 is noun and 10 is plural
i'm a serious fan but try not to be rabid LOL
well 8 could be a verb too
:)
s'ok, we'e had our shots

I remember when I was a teen and living at home...we had two alsatians (German Shepards) and at Christmas time they would go mad with excitement with all the cooking smells!
I think that's hardwired into canine brains! :-)
haha..yeah!

anyone have the re 8/40 please
your experience really re8s with me; something similar happened in my life
thank you hursh
you are welcome ru
i'm sitting at starbucks all nervous because i am meeting my clinical supervisor here in 15 mins... the person who will observe and evaluate how i do in my student teaching
good luck with that hursh
You will be fine, ((Hurshy))
hey ... I let the kids go 15 minutes early and they still licensed me ... not to worry
lol dos - maybe canada is more laid back
... could be ... maybe my recovery was good ... I don't know
i don't know what she looks like, so i clipped my school ID to my laptop so she can find me
... sounds like a spy to me
i sound like a spy?
i never aimed so high!
The question is..will you offer to buy her a coffee or will she offer to buy you one!
... buy her one and have it ready before she shows up
... at what level are you aiming to teach?
well, i was here way ahead of time so i already bought my own stuff, but i will offer to buy hers if she comes over to me before buying it
i won't buy and have ready because, i mean, i don't even drink coffee! i have a cocoa. who knows what she will want.
elementary school.
... if it was high school I'd say buy beer ... she'd need it
starbucks doesn't HAVE beer
LOL
... just keep saying " we must develop the kids intrinsic motivation for learning" "we must develop safe, secure and inclusive learning environments"... and you'll do fine
Hurshy has not answered which probably means the lady has arrived and the meeting is now taking place.
... I know it's nerve racking ... I had to bribe my kids to be good and pay attention and to laugh at my jokes ... ... there have been few times I was as scared
Yes I can imagine it is. Glad you got through it, Doesffing. And I am sure, Hurshy, will do well!
... the great myth is they are paid to fail you ... we all believe it so we all panic ... ... isn't so ... they all went through it so they know every mistake you are going to make ... they just want to see how you handle it ... ... handle your screw up well and you pass
Good point that makes sense. I suppose if you can manage well with this situation then you are well on your way with coping with students.
to coping with students*
I take it they are looking for how you plan a school lesson and how you will get your learning across to the students?
hey all.
Hello, M9f9l :-)
... you will never cope with students... but yeah ... most of the job is simply keeping them encouraged enough to keep on trying to learn and keeping them sufficiently focused most of the time ... the two hardest things are to persuade them that they can learn (even or especially the hard stuff) and then encourage them to want to learn
doseffing..your comments cracked me up. Reminded me of my brother telling me this summer of his interviews for his new school. His wife already works at that school and told him to make sure and say "growth mindset" LOL
... you've got the theory right but the practice isn't so straight forward ... you can't dazzle them with your learning because that persuades them that it's too hard ... I can't do it now and the teacher can so it must be hard...
yeah ... teaching and getting a job is amazingly political and you must keep on top of the flavour of the day phrase
Yup. He's a principal assistant now.
I'm so proud of him
... here ... now ...it's being inclusive and bring all the different ethnic groups and economic groups and I'm sorry political groups together and participating...
... ooh ... he' on the evil dark (i.e. administrative side) now ... I'm not sure if I could talk to him
... although they have the toughest job ... they must be the meanies
LOL... he's done it all... lots of special ed, lots of middle school...
... congratulations to him ... that's the tough stuff ... ... especially special ed ...
He has two roles right now. principal assistant and math intervention specialist
Another of my brothers passed away a few years ago, but he really did the tough stuff. In private conversations he referred to students parents as "the maggots"...
... they tried getting me to do that ... I was a coward ... I ran away ... ... principal assistant sounds like what we call vice principal ... wouldn't do that for twice the money ... it's your job to be hated by everyone
he told me about a maggot that came in to a conference and told him that she was going to pull her child from his class and put him somewhere else. He told her "you go ahead and try that. You don't understand, he's already been everywhere else and they don't want him. THe next place after me is juvy"
... and the intervention specialists have it tough too ... it's absolutely fantastic if you finally get through to a kid a persuade them that they can learn and that learning is worthwhile and worth their effort ... but until you get there ... you go home and cry every night
Yeah, my bros are special.
... been there ... said that
Owen used to get an old junkyard bike, and his class would totally refit it for donation. He'd find out that someone didn't have a bike or had never had a bike and he'd show up with one. At his memorial service someone asked for a show of hands of people who had gotten a bike from him and it was overwhelming how many hands went up!
... a special man ...
That is really nice, M9f9l
And after working in the WORST school in the district, he spent his free time working with youth at the Boys and Girls club coaching boxing.
hello again.. is at7 a pl?

Astronaut John Glenn...off to the big show. So many legendary people are leaving us.
i may die of grief when Tom Brokaw goes
we had a terrible year last year. So many big names died. Thesaddest for me was Alan Rickman
back again
I just dont see the first in8, can I get a clue please
in + cr 6
Hello Babblers... just heard the sad news about John Glenn :(
yes, it is sad
Thanks, Diz
John Glenn and Greg Lake on the same day - 2016 has seen the deaths of so many well known figures.
thanks, diz
who is greg lake?
Musician - Played with King Crimson and ELP
Part of my youth.
the only celebrity whose death has been very sad for me is Fred Rogers. and i dread, as i mentioned, Tom Brokaw. also James Taylor.
If you don't mind a lot of bad language, google The 2016 Song - sums up 2016 for me! Don't google it though if you'll be offended by the language!
i think i'll google it and then tell you how much i was offended by the language
No problem :)
that is what my mom would do
That just made me laugh!
once i made banana bread, and a corner of it got nibbled by a mouse. i cut off that end, like way more than where the nibble was, and i brought it to her house. i said mom, this is what happened. so fair warning, do not eat it if it is going to worry you. and then she ate it and then freaked out that she was going to get hanta virus.
Duh! It was her choice! You were up-front about what had happened.
exactly!!
Well, some people just like to whinge!
Just realised that could sound offensive to your mum - sorry if it does.
she is the Chief Whinge
:)
no don't worry i'm always saying things that are ... not flattering to her to say the least
when my sister was pregnant with her first child, my mom's first grandchild, you know most women at that point are like so excited, some have even been overly pushy wanting a grandchild. MY mom hears the news and says it makes her feel old.
Ah, but she's your mum!
You can make those comments.
and THEN she was unsatisfied with all possible options for what my nephew would call her. grandma etc. all sounded too old.
What did she decide on?
glass half empty sort of person
so i said look you better accept one of the suggestions quick or i am going to decide for you and it is going to be Old Grey Wrinkly Hag, OGWRH for short (which we would pronounce OGRE)
I love that!
well HER mom is grammy, and is still alive, so we landed on grammy(my mom's first name).
But I bet she loves her grandchild (children) whatever they call her.
yes, thankfully she did love them once they arrived.
my daughter used to call me Evil £dna after a TV witch. My little granddaughter was SHOCKED when I told her!!!
doesn't know how to interact with them properly, but...
lol Evil Edna
Nice one!
my mom got my niece some clothes for her birthday a couple of months ago, and my niece like FLIPPED OUT when she opened them. major tantrum. "this is NOT a birthday present!" - she LOVES clothes but apparently they were NOT her style. so what does my mom do in response to this wildly inappropriate reaction to a gift? takes her straight over to exchange them.
My middle name is Edna!! UI am called Nana it is the best name I have ever had!
12 words left - 11 of them from the 2nd column s! Where are they hiding???
which second column S, the 2nd row, or the 3rd row?
Most from the 2nd row - just one from the 3rd.
let's see, i need... 9 and 7 more of those S's, and 3 more of the one on the right
Ive got 104 but it is midnight and I think I'll call it a day. Goodnight folks
have we not heard the chimes at midnight?
Just finished the one on the right. Got to 25 after listing then started relying quite a bit on more words.
Sleep well, Deeha.
cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war
to be... or not... to be
*KAPOW!!!*
I'd forgotten all about those st 8 moles! I saw a programme about them!

Compound word - describes the shape of their face.
Or more accurately a facial feature.
ahhhh thanks

thank you, Harrt
or Harry
harriet is my alter ego
LOL, g
g'nite
Does the atari across the grid mean that Dr God is starting to do product placements in the grid?
hah!
And good evening Babblers
what's next? political endorsements?
we'll start seeing "Palin" in the grid
Hello...
Well I suppose that is better than the Satan that is there today.
an atari product placement would be just a tad behind the times
2/3 done!!!
going to the list :)
A product placement kept in the same time frame as Enable.
Wish i could go to the list....can't get wifi on the laptop tonight for some unknown reason.....yet the iPad can connect....go figure....
that's lame, pen... if you need any help on specific letters, let us know
Ty....i can see the list, but can't put my words in using the ipad....it's just annoying...
I feel dumb that it took me so long to find the last cr6.
thx for helping me find it ;)
I am curious about the in 10....is it a compound word?
kind of, pen
not... really. i don't think the first "part" stands on its own.
prefix is more accurate
Common prefix?
fairly common
5 letters, means "between" i believe
Ty....
means "within"
then there's a real word at the end :)
the more common one means "between"
ah yes harry. like a company internal web
Got it...ty...
Anyone know why my laptop can't connect but my iPad can?
did your cat step on the wifi button and turn it off
that's the first thing i check lol
No cat...i cut power to the modem and to the router for a few hours but that did not help....
well can always try restarting the laptop
Tried that, too...
Problem with the wi-fi radio on the laptop, wrong credentials, there are lots of reasons....
61 to go. hope to bbl.
Ran a diagnostic and it said "WiFi doesn't have a valid IP configuration"....checked the IP address and the password for the wifi and both were correct....
pen asked the IT hubby. he suggests right-clicking on your wifi icon, going to settings, and removing your home network, then adding it back, which will hopefully fix any issues in your settings
Thanks.....i am not sure how to put it back....but i will check it out....
I am stuck with 100 left....i think i will call it quits....goodnight all....
Hello, lurkers!
hello Jellen
Hi Bugsaw! How are you?
so tired of this grid but otherwise, very well. slowly moving towards the holiday
are you still looking for a suitable house?
Yes. Have to put in on hold a bit though. I need to get my house in saleable condition first.
Good evening. I'm wondering why I start grids before I look at their size?
Minveryork is doing that too. It seems to take forever.
Hi Nef. I have learned never to start until Lickety has come through
Hi Nef! I am now halfway.
I started this in the AM before my day got going; only now did I look at the size!!!
(When Bugs said she was tired of this grid is when I looked at the size)
Oops! :)
I am just finishing with Morewords so I can go bake some sugar cookies, ready for the little ones to decorate tomorrow.
Hiya kiddos! I started on my lunch hour and have been lurking since I got home an hour ago. No chance of FW here.
Yep! Pretty much stupid of me, right?
how did the interview go, origami?
we are never stupid, Nef. Just distracted
I'm not sure. They asked for my references, so we shall see. In retrospect I provided a couple of answers that could have been a little more elegant :-D
Yes, ore; did the interview go well?
It is so hard to knw how interviews have gone because you don't know what they are looking for. Lots of times it is someone who will fit in well with the current workers.
It is always good to get a higher paying job just before retirement to help with pensions
I did have them laughing a couple of times, except for this grumpy old assistant dean.
Thanks for being so kind, Bugs. I did hop online to see what the grid looked like& entered enough words in 20 minutes for NBT; so I was clock watching too.
I did the same thing, Nef.
They took copious notes, which is a good thing. I sit on a lot of interview panels and if they are not doing well, you only take minimal notes.
Thanks for asking guys :-D
it sounds like you did well then, origami. I hope you get it and that it is all you hoped it would be.
Though, if you get a new job it might postpone a trip up north!
Fingers crossed for you, ori!
Hopefully not, Bugs. There is a reciprocity agreement between UC and the CSU system so I would still earn my 5 weeks a year vacay!
thanks Jellen!
ori, for my last position, they had me come back 4 times for interviews. I was applying for a nurse manager position for a prenatal program in a women's center. I admitted right up front that I had very little maternity nursing experience but had been pregnant before & I was a fast learner & also knew how to ask for help when I needed it. They took tons of notes (which is part of why I had so many interviews I think).
5 weeks of vacationing a new position! NICE!!!
% weeks a year is great! I never earned more than 3
Wow, Nef! I did admit that I had some gaps but I am good at getting to know the folks in the institution to go to for help.
brb. Need food.
UC starts out with 3 and you move up from there. I have been there 25 years so have max vacation accrual.
Well, fingers & toes crossed for you, ori! nogs
Thanks! I really need a change.
And, it took me 90 minutes to get home today. A 19 mile drive. The new job is 4 miles away on city streets. I could even ride my bike.
I never worked anywhere more than 8 years. Once it wasn't fun any more, I moved on. Employers had a tendency to take advantage of my good work ethic so over the years I had WAY more duties than anyone else but earned the same salary.
that will help your gas costs for sure and improve your mental health at the same time.
What a difference in your life that would be! A shorter (& less stressful, I would think?) commute might be just what you need!
I am being taken advantage of where I am, and the commute issues loom large. Think what I could do with all that extra time! Read more, garden more, fix up my house more, and not least of all ... fold more paper :-)
a young friend of mine loved doing origami and he made the little bride and groom for the top of their wedding cake. They were cute.
Nice bugs. I am currently folding a flock of white birds to decorate a wee Christmas tree.
beautiful
I'll send you a photo when done
I wish I had the patience and coordination for origami...
Bugs and Nef
It's funny Jellen, I am the most uncoordinated person I know. But for some reason, when I get my hands on paper, I can make it do my bidding :-)
our little town has the best place to buy exotic papers west of Toronto. it will be fun to hear what you think of it.
It does take a lot of patience though. I spend a lot of time surrounded by crumpled paper.
Even with MOrewords I can't find my last word. as 7
I love paper stores!
Oooooh. Can't wait bugs.
I always wanted to open a paper store - paper objects of all types and sheet paper. Paper Moon it was to be named.
I am always open to meeting more Babblers Jellen
Bugs, I don't have it yet but am looking now.
thanks Nef
as 7 = a + st**** electricity
thanks Jellen
thanks jellen
ah, thank you Jellen. I could not find that for the last half hour.
that's a really hard word to see!
Welcome! I made a guess on morewords. :)
Nuts, turns out I was looking for a 7 letter word in the 8 letter word list.
does anyone need a poor clue before I go round up a cup of tea?
I have less than 100 words FOUND; how many clues can you stick around for? ;-)
Thanks, but I am heading off to watch Jeopardy and curl up with a book after. See ya'll soon. Thanks for the suppoort1
Support all, rather.
Niters, ori!
Bye ori, and bye all...going to try to read now. My attention span is short, though. :)
Bye, Jellen HAGD!
OK then I will abandon you for a while Nef. It is always good to chat with good people. The old days are back.
Let's hear it for the old days :-)
:-D It does feel better, doesn't it?
300!
hello evryone -- ot
its taken me a few hours to get back her - not sure that I can finish
