hi Rainiqui! How are you doing today?

1:02 am

excellent ~ I was getting a horrid cluster headache earlier today but my medical marijuana oil stopped it in it's tracks, oh joy, oph bliss !

1:02 am

oh that is so good! Am happy for you!

1:04 am

it's worn off now so my tremors are horrendous but they won't kill me so it's all good

1:04 am

How about you ?

1:05 am

sorry about the tremors, but not having the headaches must be such a relief :) I am good, slept through the night for once and feel on top of my game this morning.

1:06 am

Yes, restorative sleep is a blessing for sure

1:07 am

isn't it? It makes such a difference. Lol, reminds me of a little joke I read once: Dear sleep, I am so sorry I didn't appreciate you enough when I was younger and pushed you away. I know better now. Please come back to me.

Oh geez, that's a good one !!!

1:40 am

1:40 am

3:40 am

May I please have a clue for re8-55? Thanks

3:43 am

just the first 3 letters would help. Thanks

3:44 am

res, peach

3:45 am

re + leap out at . then plural for re9

3:46 am

Oh, thanks, rose. Hey, last night I had typed a note to you and when I hit enter I looked at the chat and I had 2 red boxes and had to turn everything off and unplug and re start the darn thing again and you had already left....but I tried...

3:48 am

thanx peach. i have been pretty down in the mouth lately. feeling conspired against etc. just about due for next infusion. i can usually ride it out but this time coupled with the jetlag....

3:48 am

and i think the question i asked was what breed of dog do you have, and what is it's name?

3:53 am

I am so sorry to hear this. Just give whatever it is, time. I know it is difficult with what all you have going on.....but try to rest as much as you can and know that, above all, you will be alright. Oh, I was telling you about the dog....she is a rescue that I have had for about 10 years.....had 2 but lost one in March....he was diabetis and blind, but I loved him so much. I still cry.

3:54 am

i know how you feel. the unconditional love which they give to us is so precious.

3:54 am

For sure.

3:56 am

Hon, I need to try to sleep for a while. I was hoping to finish this one but I will come back later and try some more. I will say an extra prayer for you. Blessings

3:57 am

sweet dreams peach. xoxo and thanx for your prayers.

5:09 am

Morning all. I have a res8/50 is there another one meaning to leap out??

5:13 am

Re8/50 is new growth on a plant. re8/55 means to leap out

5:15 am

So does the word re8/55 without the re stand on its own. Just can't fathom

5:16 am

The words without the re are a season of the year and a new growth on a plant. Like a bean ______

5:17 am

Phew! Thank you SO muxh

5:17 am

Actually, I apologize. Using the the "not in" word gave too much of a clue.

5:28 am

Hello everybody. l'm determined to make this a good day

6:17 am

in7/32 any clues please

6:18 am

I mean I was trying all kinds of 5 letter word combos and couldn't see the one actual real word.

5:23 pm

Late to the party here, but just because it's an easy word doesn't mean it's easy to SEE. :)

5:27 pm

Yes Champ, that is the nasty twist of playing this game.

Well ok then! Are they still visiting?

7:08 pm

They are. And staying in my house. The whole place is upscuttled with sterilisers, Moses baskets, formula etc. The cat & dog have been banished to the garden. It's all a bit surreal.

10:04 pm

Goodevening. My grandson has been helping me off & on today inbetween his & my chores & etc. we have 132 words down so far; but now he’s got to go to bed.

10:05 pm

(I don’t think I’ve ever had this many words in a game by 10 PM before!)

10:27 pm

Nef, lol! I understand! unfortunately, when my guys (gs 12 & 8, s and husb) are here when I'm playing I'm usually 2/3 through before they start looking for words, lol. I hear a lot of "ugh"s when I tell them I already have that one...

10:28 pm

every once in a while they'll happen upon one I thought I'd already done (but evidently had a type and didn't notice)… so I still try all of their suggestions.

10:29 pm

typo, sorry

10:29 pm

He’s 10 years old & is bored silly in this first week of summer vacation. If his computer was fixed, I’m sure he wouldn’t be interested in helping me

10:31 pm

I understand. Mine got out of school the Friday before Memorial Day, talk about stir crazy... they're going to the Y summer camp but... *rolls eyes*

10:32 pm

He’s signed up for the next 2 weeks of summer camp (from 7A until 5P); then will have his TaeKwonDo classes each evening until 8 or 8:30; so I was enjoying this rare time working on something fun!

10:33 pm

We have to limit computer/online time or they'd be on it 24/7... go out and ride your bike or I'll find something else for you to be productive with, lol.

10:34 pm

No doubt! Mine are just here in the afternoon/evenings whilst dad & mom are working.

10:35 pm

Camp hours are 0600-1800 and they take them for different activities every week...

10:35 pm

Library and such...

10:36 pm

they get dropped off and picked up by whoever is available

10:37 pm

His Dad works from home as a QASpecialist with 2 small computercompanies & sees nothing wrong with a kid being on a computer for 6 hours straigth! *I’m* the one who worries about it, however.

10:40 pm

I wish I could sign him up for more /different camps; but they arepretty expensive (especially the ones I know he’d like).

10:41 pm

*thumbs up!* I don't know your community but we have 9 acres in the country on a dead end road. "Go outside and find something to do or you're gonna wish you had!", lol. We're very fortunate.

10:43 pm

We’re in a suburb of St. Paul, MN; lakes all around our area of town. His school buddies seem to be out of town this week, so that’s why he’s hanging out at home.

10:43 pm

Our county schools built a robotics learning lab 2 years ago. They offer week long "training/playing with electronics" during the summer but the Y would still have to be paid to keep their spots. Unfortunate but once the 12 yr old gets into high school, he should be able to sign up for classes..

10:53 pm

This kid has been chosen by teachers to attend a 3 week summer academy each of these 4 years he’s been in school. Unfortunately this year his dad didn’t tell me he couldn’t afford the special summer academy, so he couldn’t go this year. 😟 He’s done intensive 3 week courses in videography; inventions (he “invented” a “come along cane so his grampa -my hubby- wouldn’t loose it again; and also acourse about making robotic ants that they could battle each other with . And I can’t remember the other course for his first year. This is for 1100 students, 1st -8th grades; from 12 different school districts.

10:57 pm

(Yes, I’m very proud of this kid, I keep hearing from others that he’s so nice, good-looking, smart, and very talented at TaeKwonDo too. Not that I’m bragging, or anything. 😉

11:00 pm

Sweet! You and fam are truly blessed! Wish dad had mentioned as I'm sure you could have at least tried to juggle funds (I know I would/do, lol)

11:05 pm

Yeah, I definitely would have found the money for summer academy for him. He’s a hard-working kid when he’s interested & focused on something. He’s going for his second degree black belt this weekend too.

11:09 pm

My kids both tell me he’s the only “human” grandchild we’ll have; so we adore him. (We also have grand puppies & grand kitties too.

11:12 pm

Sweet! My y/o took MMA classes when he was younger but they couldn't afford it later... then he went for Aikido for a season but they had to close during the summer months because they were in a steel building with no a/c... think he went back the following "opening" period but timeframe of classes did not fall in line with anyone able to take him... he was fierce, tho. One of the smallest in the classes for his age... I need to look into that again (maybe)...

11:16 pm

Is he still interested in it? If so, & you can afford it; by all means do it! I think our grandsons ability and grades are due to being taught to focus.

11:17 pm

I'm pretty sure both of our kids are done... Our girl child may foster/adopt but that's up for grabs... I mean the g/b child are 37/35 respectively this year and both have 2 kids who are 9, 13 16 & 20 this year (and a great on the way, lol).

11:19 pm

Focus Is HUGE! They spend so much time wanting to watch Minecraft videos (or whatever) on YouTube it's mind boggling. (As I sit and type while having played Babble for hours on end, lol)

11:22 pm

Ours are b/g and they’re 40 & 36; respectively. Our son is raising his son alone (his ex has serious mental health issues, but she does call & talk to their son nearly every night); while our dtr. doesn’t want to pass on “bad genes” to anyone.

11:23 pm

Crazy stressful and unfun shift today at work. Figures. Said bye to the kids though. Some of them dont understand they wont be coming back until August. Sad to see. Now gotta work tomorrow 9am-3pm then Fri 8am-10am then I am done. 8 work hours left til vacation.

11:24 pm

had to suspend a kid tonight.. on the last day .. ugh

11:24 pm

Gotcha. Son has custody of 1st born and is divorced from mom of 2nd but has every other week. Good luck planning anything. Daughter has custody of 15 yr old (as the 19 yr old is no longer under her umbrella aside from insurance...

11:25 pm

Oh, cos! that sux! and I'm sorry a bad day and I know they'll miss you and hope they don't get into hot water in the duration!

11:26 pm

Hi cos. How sad that the kid got suspended the last day of school. Must have been a big stupid mistake on his part, huh?

11:27 pm

yup.. almost had to call the cops

11:28 pm

Oh, Man! That’s bad! How old?

11:29 pm

13

11:29 pm

but this is a repeated infraction... physical violence towards peers and staff.. we cannot tolerate anymore

11:30 pm

Is that 8th grade? Will he graduate?

11:31 pm

hes in 6th

11:31 pm

delayed start

11:31 pm

my school does not have graduation for middle schools. we are 5-21 year old school...

11:32 pm

Ok

11:33 pm

So will this kid be able to return next year or is he out for good?

11:34 pm

oh he'll be back. our school does not expel students. .we are desperate to keep our number of students stable or we will get cuts in funds

11:34 pm

its a state school

11:35 pm

Sounds like he needs psych help, though

11:36 pm

Pres

11:36 pm

yeah hes in atough home life too. saw his uncle point a gun at his grandpa

11:37 pm

mom is dying etc etc .. in foster care now... but still doesnt excuse his extreme violent behavior

11:37 pm

Good grief!!

11:38 pm

not to mention he looks slightly deformed too so that doesnt help

11:39 pm

<shaking my head & crying for that kid & your staff.>

11:41 pm

All you can do is treat him kindly, encourage behavior and pray. Sad, sad, sad... but unless you can foster him yourself, you can't do much more than that.

11:41 pm

its been a tough year. they put me in charge of the school's most hopeless boys...theyre 12-13 and read at kindergarten level.. they dont get why theyre at school. they re in 6-8 grade and behave like first grade playing with cars etc.. im glad the year is over. its been really tough.. it makes me so mad they know my home life is awful.. they did not need to do this to me at work.. i almost quit 3x and i am looking for a new job actually.. cause this is they dont pay me enough for this

11:44 pm

plus we had 6 dorm staff quit on us this year so now after six years of working there i am the most senior male on the student life team

11:44 pm

Cos, do you think they gave you this group to “help” keep you occupied so you could get through your own grief? (I’m not saying that it’s right, I just know some people veiw life backwards like that.

11:45 pm

and the superindenent and the director of student life are both leaving this year so we will have all new bosses in aug.. no fun..

11:45 pm

Yikes! Why did so many quit?

11:45 pm

oh no cause i was assigned to a good dorm until this one guy quit and they had to transfer me cause no one else was available

11:45 pm

bosses/low morale/ favortism/ micromanagement etc

11:46 pm

😞

11:46 pm

plus the hours arent great.. 3-1 4 days a week or so.. plus on snow days we are required to come in or lose our jobs..

11:46 pm

we're never home during peak time.. like 5pm - 10pm.. were never home were at work... everyone dont see their kids/families/dogs

11:47 pm

Are there other places you’d like to work?

11:47 pm

teachers see students maybe 1-2 hours a day.. we're with them 8-12 hours a day..4-5 days a week..

11:47 pm

oh ill end up staying at my job lol.. full benefits. retirement plan. decent pay...

11:48 pm

How do the students learn then?

11:48 pm

oh were with the kids after school.. 3pm-1am.. teachers have them in the day time.. change teachers for subjects etc

11:49 pm

Got it.

11:49 pm

Maybe the new bosses will make it all better

11:49 pm

we teach them DLS.. so we're kinda teachers lol

11:50 pm

oh the new Supt. is very controversial.. there are planned protests.. *sigh*

11:50 pm

Yeah, & I can understand that isn’t aneasy job.

11:50 pm

Yuk!

11:50 pm

and the teachers at the school are planning a strike as well...demanding the principal resign.. its all a mess.. a big huge cluster frick

11:51 pm

Oh, der!

11:51 pm

I wonder when I was a student my school was like that? we dont know what was in our teachers heads and in the staff lounge lol

11:52 pm

Very true

11:52 pm

sometimes I think.. god i cant stand this kid.. and then I wonder did any of m y teachers ever think that lol ugh

11:52 pm

(i never show it though. i act like i like every kid.. im a pro)

11:53 pm

Well, if teachers are like parents; they probably did! 🙂

11:54 pm

like tis one kid tonight i asked him to wash a specific spot on his dresser in the bedroom... i pointed to it... he kept missing it.. over and over.. for 20 minutes.. i was so close to losing it...

11:55 pm

i had to take his hand.. and take it to the spot, and moved his hand to wipe it...and then i said "do you see it now? can u do it now?" with a smile.. then i walked outside to smoke a cig

11:56 pm

That’s when you pray for patience so you both live tosee a better day.

11:56 pm

anyway vent done lol :) thanks for listening

11:56 pm

Seems like he just needed your attention... sometimes when there are more kids there are those who are more problematic (because it means you spend more time with them)...

11:56 pm

?

11:56 pm

oh and i have this kid who question severy single thing

11:56 pm

"why is that table brown?" "why is the lights on?" "what do I do when I go to bed?"

11:57 pm

"why are we going to the cafe?" "to eat dinner" "Oh why?" "because" "oh what time will we finish eating?" "I dont know" "why?" "i just dont" "oh why is the sky blue?" .. on and on and on and on

11:58 pm

thats true amelu.. it is possible

11:58 pm
