flosey

went for a walk last time I was there, got lost in the maze of homes - walked a couple of hours

3:14 am

TraderKate

you wouldn't hear much except when the wind blows out of east...and all trains depart southward when leaving

3:15 am

flosey

ah, is it south of 7 then?

3:15 am

TraderKate

i can believe that...like a rabbit warren when you get off main road...and the houses all look alike

3:16 am

flosey

my nephew works in the area as well, for Magna (is that correct spelling? - sometimes have short term memory loss)

3:16 am

TraderKate

3:19 am

Andree

hoon is a word we use for those fools who car race on public roads

3:20 am

TraderKate

we just call them corpses here andree

3:20 am

TraderKate

my granparents used to live in aurora...edward and gertrude

3:21 am

TraderKate

transport in aurora/newmarket still poor, but GO busses have a reg. schedle to can. wondwer.

flosey

no kidding Kate, my father was born and raised there - we bought grandmother's home lived there 1966-1995

3:29 am

TraderKate

3:29 am

flosey

3:30 am

flosey

hubby was born/raised on Salt Spring Island, was a student at U Vic when we got married

3:30 am

TraderKate

willowdale's very nice....you'd fall over if you saw the house prices there now (not that bc's cheap)...

3:31 am

TraderKate

3:31 am

flosey

3:34 am

flosey

3:35 am

flosey

3:36 am

flosey

lynxxx

happily lost in grid

3:43 am

flosey

sorry to monopolize the chat Haz and Lyn

3:43 am

Haz1558

Lurkers is such a pejorative word. Silent observers non-participating conversationalists, stealth babblers sound much better.

3:43 am

TraderKate

with great success, i hope?

3:43 am

flosey

good luck, I have 170 to come back to tomorrow

TraderKate

Haha Kate! He's a foot taller and 100lbs. larger :) and Scottish :) Wants to wear a kilt at the wedding :/

3:53 am

3:54 am

TraderKate

3:54 am

redturtlehead

3:54 am

redturtlehead

re lurking.

3:54 am

Andree

3:54 am

lexi

I told him if he went regimental, I'd rig a series of fans to blow up his kilt at the alter, just like Marilyn monroe :)

4:58 am

TraderKate

and good morning to you...tea break?

4:59 am

zoozzoom

No, morning work is done, then back to work at 4pm GMT, untill around 8:30pm GMT..lol

5:01 am

herinfernallady

hhhhhhhhhi

5:01 am

zoozzoom

good evening Herin.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

How are you all?

5:02 am

zoozzoom

I am very well, how about yourself?

5:02 am

TraderKate

you have a divided work day?

5:02 am

TraderKate

hi herin

5:02 am

herinfernallady

Tired but any way. Zoom you work in the kitchens?

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Yes Kate , i do shift work, not ideal..but i am used to it now.

5:03 am

zoozzoom

Yes Herin second chef at a hotel :-)

5:03 am

herinfernallady

nice. I was the lowly dishpig that had to put up with hell chefs before i went stuff it

5:03 am

TraderKate

sous chef...well well well....and us jabbering on about food.

5:04 am

TraderKate

too bad lots of restaurant work is split shifts...same here

5:04 am

herinfernallady

We used to have a couch to snooze on

5:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes , i do not understand why head chefs seem to be bottom holes, there is no need for it really, even when it gets busy..if you are firm but fair..then you get a lot more respect than shouting at people.

5:05 am

TraderKate

used to date a chef for years, i always did the cooking though :-(

5:06 am

TraderKate

did you bot work for lenny henry????

5:06 am

zoozzoom

I can understand that in a way Kate..the last thing i want to do when i get home is cook..lol

5:06 am

herinfernallady

I used to work for a crazy Slavic guy that used to throw hot pans at us.

5:07 am

zoozzoom

i would throw it right back Herin..at the head & hard.

5:07 am

lexi

Done :) Night ALL!!!

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Katie that is what I do around here.

5:07 am

TraderKate

totally understand that. worked as cleaner when i first staryted on railway....my place got very messy very quickly...

5:07 am

zoozzoom

WTG Lexi!!..take care.

5:07 am

TraderKate

wtg lexi...goodluck finding friends

5:08 am

herinfernallady

Yah Lexi

5:08 am

lexi

thnks all, cya tmrw!!

5:08 am

TraderKate

aaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk more welsh!!!!

5:09 am

zoozzoom

good god woman..you feeling ok..lol

5:09 am

TraderKate

crazy slavic chef...hmmm bet there's a book in that. i assume that't the one yoiu told to shove it?

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Zoom I also had before I left this place a change of guard when a new Chef came in and he was a right Toss. He got no respect from me even as a lowly dish pig

5:10 am

TraderKate

quite a few were on yesterday peppering me with welsh, my tongue is still in knots from trying to pronounce some of it

5:11 am

zoozzoom

A kitchen assistant is just as important as a head chef, shame the chef you worked for did not see that .

5:11 am

TraderKate

yes, let him scour his own nasty pots!

5:11 am

herinfernallady

ZOom I was trained as salad monkey as a back up then he came along and decided to train a new apprentance and passed on the habbits to her

5:12 am

zoozzoom

I do not even try and say welsh words Kate..i have no hope at it..polish yes..not welsh...LOL

5:12 am

TraderKate

lovely, and the cycle is perpetuated....

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Ditto Kate.

5:13 am

TraderKate

i was so overwhelmed....at least 4 or 5 babbling in welsh. whole sentences, dsong lyrics...went on foir quite a while...they were having good-hearted fun with me...

5:13 am

zoozzoom

Did you have a show down in the end Herin, or did you just leave.

5:14 am

zoozzoom

ahh but you enjoyed yourself Kate :-)

5:15 am

TraderKate

yes i did , it was all in good fun, but hence my out of proportion response....

5:15 am

TraderKate

herin....did you go for tea?

5:15 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:16 am

TraderKate

what type of restaurant is it zooz?

5:16 am

zoozzoom

I think Herin has dived into the grid.

5:16 am

TraderKate

am not really off my rocker...just slightly atilt

5:17 am

TraderKate

oh dear, wanted to know if she threw a pot at the nasty sod...

5:17 am

zoozzoom

It is a Hotel Kate only hold upto 180 people.

5:18 am

TraderKate

that's a nice size...keeps it cozy. nice dining room?

5:18 am

zoozzoom

yes i think it is , just been re-decorated as well.

5:19 am

zoozzoom

this chog is very slow at putting my messages up today.

5:19 am

TraderKate

sounds nice. is there a house specialty?

5:21 am

TraderKate

others earlier were saying it was slow. i haven't noticed at my end. we'll ask herin when she surfaces how her speed is

5:21 am

herinfernallady

No I told the apprentice to do her job and not be lazy. As for the chef when I was left I was owed about $1500 in wages otherwise he would have had all his knives washed in the dish water over and over

5:21 am

zoozzoom

No not really we change the menu alot, as people tend to stay with us more than a few times a year, so it is nice to change the menu regular, although i have made sticky toffee pudding today..lol

5:21 am

herinfernallady

What is the house favourite zoom?

5:22 am

herinfernallady

I had to take out the garbage

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Sorry you had a bad experience Herin, although i fel it is all too common that head chefs are nasty people.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

the steak pie seem to sell very well here Herin.

5:23 am

TraderKate

sticky toffee pudding, scrummy... with creme fraiche?

5:23 am

zoozzoom

No Kate, i serve it with a toffe sauce and then pour a little bit of liquid double cream :-)

5:24 am

herinfernallady

The first 2 guys we had were awesome then we had the Bali Bombings and the hospitality trade went down the toilet as a consequence of less travellers. A lot of OS tourists go to Bali then to Queensland to do fruit picking then to Melbourne.

5:24 am

TraderKate

should have put some nicks in his blades before you left herin....that'd teach him

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Oh yummy on the Toffee

5:24 am

TraderKate

even better zooz, am now desirous of sweets...

5:25 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:25 am

herinfernallady

Kate that is nasty. Someone did that to my knife (or I did when i cut onions for 6 hours)

5:25 am

zoozzoom

was you there then when the bombings happened?

5:26 am

herinfernallady

No Zoom but it was a big effect in Aussie tourism. Sadly it was the last straw for some

5:26 am

TraderKate

cutting onions for 6 hours? what did you do to deserve that prep duty?

5:27 am

zoozzoom

oh i see..sorry..i thought you meant you were in Bali working for some reason..yes i see what you mean now..lol

5:27 am

TraderKate

wasn't there a spot of trouble there again, not too long ago?

5:27 am

herinfernallady

Katie I used to work for an agency I got the short straw.

5:28 am

herinfernallady

I can't remember Katie

5:28 am

zoozzoom

very short straw, i hate trying to get the onion smell off my hands after chopping onions.

5:29 am

TraderKate

not just bali, anyone far away can't afford to travel there right now...and your dollar has held up very well against other world currencies... people are too worried to spend , even if they have it

5:29 am

herinfernallady

I have done floor duty, under water dish technician work prep, pastries, then security and now studying legal practice

5:29 am

zoozzoom

i will re-phrase that, i hate the smell on my hands even after i have washed them :-)

5:30 am

herinfernallady

Zoom do you know how to get rid of stinky garlic and onion hands?

5:30 am

TraderKate

have you tried lemon juice mixed with baking soda after the soap?

5:30 am

herinfernallady

My b.f scored last year when he went to Vietnam and we had $ for $

5:30 am

zoozzoom

well you have worked you r way up very nicely then Herin..i use lemon juice & parsly with salt

5:31 am

herinfernallady

opps $1 for $1

5:31 am

herinfernallady

You can just rub your hands around the stainless steel sink to get rid of the stink

5:31 am

TraderKate

a good nail brush also helps, fingernails seem to absorb it

5:31 am

Atalante

get one of those metal soap things. they are amazing

5:31 am

herinfernallady

Snap hi atta

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Good tip Herin, i will try that one.

5:35 am

Atalante

Scrabbler

Funny story: I came home from work last night and Bunny Miss Bea is running around like a nut with a flycatcher paper stuck to her back. She must have stretched high enough to grab it in the one room.

5:47 am

herinfernallady

Silly bunny

5:47 am

Atalante

Scrabbler

5:47 am

herinfernallady

TraderKate

TraderKate

Atalante

Scrabbler

5:51 am

TraderKate

wb haz. good walk?

5:51 am

Haz1558

sc8 - how a microbe feels under a microscope.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

co4! I had 2 enormous ones on my front deck last night, searching for fallen bird seeds.

5:51 am

TraderKate

lol ata, swampmonster indeed

5:52 am

Lizsark

sorry I got sidetracked by customers, Toby has been missing nearly 6 weeks :(

5:52 am

Haz1558

Or what a microbe is under when microscope is employed might be better.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

((Liz & Toby))

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Hm, there are 3 wyas to use sc

5:53 am

Lizsark

thanks Scrabbler. He's just the most adorable cat, all big and saggy and cuddly with a soppy personality.Its very unlike him to go out at all let alone for a long time....unlike his Mum who is forever off hunting

5:53 am

herinfernallady

THank you has

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Crud. Sorry THank you Haz.

5:53 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, herin.

5:54 am

TraderKate

but the weather is good, and probably being fed by someone nice...he'll come home when he's good and ready. put aqd in paper por flyers?

5:54 am

Scrabbler

I would be frantic if one of my pets escaped...do you have the entire island on alert to find him?

5:55 am

Lizsark

I have had posters up in the village and have been searching with friends everywhere. Knocked on doors, asked to look in sheds etc

5:56 am

TraderKate

he'll turn up liz, have faith. he knows who his fur-mum is

5:57 am

herinfernallady

Liz everyone knows you there you will find out he'll turn up soon.

5:58 am

Lizsark

I hope so x

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Liz how is Clutz boy and Clutz girl today?

5:59 am

Atalante

libby probably just told him a few cool places to check out while he was free

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Being on an island limits his options of where to go too

6:01 am

Lizsark

You'd be surprised Scrabbler....a friends springer spaniel went missing years ago and has never been found. Theres so much gorse, blackthorn, bracken and rough scrubland...

6:02 am

Atalante

really? wow. and dogs do dive off cliffs ...

6:02 am

TraderKate

but cats aren't as foolish as dogs when it comes to charging into nasty underbrush

6:03 am

Atalante

do I really want to fill this app form in??? *ponders* LOL

6:03 am

herinfernallady

DO IT ATA

6:04 am

TraderKate

wouldn't you prefer a nice safe balloon ride instead...you gret to enjoy the view you paid for and not much chance of broken bones when you land?

6:04 am

Atalante

I'm desperately looking forward to it already LOL

6:04 am

herinfernallady

*mutters in your ear do it

6:04 am

Atalante

don't tell liz that though :P

6:05 am

Haz1558

Is this the sky-dive?

6:05 am

Atalante

yep

6:05 am

TraderKate

the little angel and devil on your shoulders...which one's yelling louder?

6:06 am

herinfernallady

Me thinks devil

6:06 am

Haz1558

It's for a good cause. How much do you need to raise?

6:06 am

Lizsark

I have to be honest with you Ata. I wish I hadn't filled my form in. I am very unsure that I will actually be able to do it.

6:07 am

Lizsark

Haz the minimum is £395 per person but the more you raise the more goes to the charity

6:07 am

TraderKate

oh...madness for charitable causes...that's all right then init?

6:07 am

Atalante

yes, you will, Liz. you'll be able to think of hobbit on the ground waiting to give you kisses

6:08 am

Haz1558

That's not too bad - some of the holiday ones require an awful lot of sponsorship.

6:08 am

Atalante

and if you can't, well, they still get the money!

6:08 am

Haz1558

Surely the money's safe whether you do it or not, Liz?

6:08 am

TraderKate

sometimes you can do a jump strapped to an instructor over here

6:08 am

Lizsark

Oh yes the moneys safe Haz. But am I? LOL

6:09 am

Lizsark

Haz my trip to Peru thats coming up in a couple of weeks we had to raise £4000 each

6:09 am

Atalante

even david's done it, liz lol. if he could do, you can do it with your eyes shut and singing the hallelujah chorus

6:09 am

Haz1558

Seriously, if you don't feel you can go through with it, don't. I sponsored for the cause rather than to make you miserable.

6:10 am

Lizsark

Seriously Ata when I was up that tower in Spain it took every ounce of energy I had to stop myself from fainting. I regret that I signed up for this but I will try.

6:10 am

Atalante

exactly. if you can't, well, hey. you'll get a nice trip over to England.

6:10 am

herinfernallady

Well go for it LIz

6:10 am

Lizsark

Thank you Haz but I have to try. I would never forgive myself if I just gave up without attempting it.

6:11 am

Atalante

the face you signed up is braveness enough!

6:11 am

Atalante

you'll probably be absolutely fine and ellie adn I will refuse to jump

6:11 am

Haz1558

Like I said before, somebody always has to stay by the coats.

6:11 am

TraderKate

point well taken haz

6:12 am

Scrabbler

*volunteering to stay with everyone's coats & bags*

6:12 am

Atalante

and you could have an extra hour to cuddle hobbit. has to be better than jumping out of planes

6:13 am

Lizsark

Ellie is superwoman! She can't wait lol

6:13 am

Atalante

yeah, but it's always people like that who panic at the last moment, she says hopefully

6:13 am

Lizsark

Its scary how many people are coming just to see us! I hope all the other poeople bring friends along too!

6:14 am

Atalante

are you bringing simon and the bratlings?

6:15 am

Atalante

anyway, why didn't actionman sign up too??

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Liz i recon you should put on a super hero cape afterwoods

6:15 am

Lizsark

No. No way! But June will be there. Shes moving to the UK soon and we are staying with her. Then theres Russell, Louisa and half the staff of DFD....

6:16 am

Atalante

she's moving to the uk?? oooo!

6:16 am

Lizsark

DFD has always been my thing Ata. He supports other charities. Mainly Great Ormond Street and Motor Neurone

6:16 am

Lizsark

Yes shes going to live in Stow on the Wold

6:16 am

Atalante

no WAY!

6:17 am

Atalante

why Stow?

6:17 am

Haz1558

Oh, she'll be able to get her kitchen stuff from Scotts of Stow.

6:17 am

Lizsark

6:17 am

anike

Have to go again - boys want dinner - so will try again to finish last 25 - see you later

6:17 am

Atalante

6:17 am

Haz1558

I'm a very valued customer, don't you know.

6:17 am

Atalante

what;s he doing there? only being nosey cos I know half of Stow

6:17 am

Haz1558

Bye anike.

6:18 am

Atalante

sister lives 4 miles up the road from there

6:19 am

Lizsark

He's a gardener. Sounds crap but he's very highly qualified. Theres a large estate that was owned by someone from the Who and he is going to re landscape for the new owners

6:19 am

Atalante

ooo interesting, I wonder which estate that is. THe big one round there is Batsford of course

6:19 am

herinfernallady

So do they then live on the grounds Liz?

6:20 am

Lizsark

Not Batsford or at least... God I wonder if it is...

6:20 am

Lizsark

Yes Herin they've got a gorgeous cottage

6:20 am

Atalante

don't think so, The Who doesn't ring a bell, think it's owned by an American guy now

6:20 am

Haz1558

Look for the house with shattered guitars all around.

6:21 am

Atalante

but there's big houses in the Swells and all sorts of other villages around. Daylesford too

6:21 am

Lizsark

it was John Entwhistle - died in 2002 - was bass guitarist

6:22 am

Atalante

I'll ask claire, she'll know. We'll wander round Stow on Saturday and be nosey

6:23 am

herinfernallady

I have the name

6:24 am

Atalante

6:24 am

Scrabbler

More help with that sc8? Hazel's clue is too tricky for my awakening brain.

6:24 am

herinfernallady

That is a stunning house. Got a spare $4mil pound

6:25 am

Atalante

she'll have a great time in Stow. The people are lovely, shops are lovely, there's yummy tea shops and 2 second hand bookshops

6:25 am

Haz1558

To be under sc8 is to be under observation of a critical kind.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I got it, I got it! TY!

6:26 am

Haz1558

When Anniebrook undertook her flying nun missions, her subjects were placed under sc8.

6:26 am

Haz1558

Great!

6:26 am

herinfernallady

that place is HUGE Liz

6:27 am

Scrabbler

And at 84/184 I must shower and get to factory

6:27 am

Lizsark

Yes thats the house. I've seen photos that Paul took when he was there. They have a cottage in the grounds

6:27 am

Haz1558

See you later, Scrabbler.

6:27 am

Atalante

there's a lot of that size houses around Stow - centre of the Cotswolds, lots of old gentry and new money

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Bye Scrabler. Oh I am jealous Liz.

6:28 am

Lizsark

Their cottage is much prettier than that house :

6:28 am

Lizsark

I have to go now too. have fun all

6:28 am

Atalante

tell June not to buy any jewellery or anything antiquey in Stow until people know shes a local. Otherwise she'll get ripped off with tourist prices. It's a really bad thing in the cotswold tourist traps

6:29 am

Haz1558

Bye Liz.

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Bye Liz

6:29 am

Atalante

even Scotts will give locals discounts!

6:29 am

Atalante

Sily has just turned up, soaking wet

6:31 am

herinfernallady

OH poor baby. Time to get a hair dryer on her

6:33 am

Atalante

more worried about *how* she got soaking wet!

6:33 am

herinfernallady

wasn't she outside?

6:34 am

Atalante

no! she's an indoor cat

6:34 am

herinfernallady

OH toilet?

6:36 am

Atalante

noooooooo idea

6:36 am

herinfernallady

Do you have laundry on did it flood?

6:37 am

Atalante

nope, can't see anything leaking. I'll put it down to cat-ness

6:38 am

herinfernallady

ok is the loo lid down? No dishes in the sink? No vases? Shower wet? anything that has water?

6:38 am

Haz1558

Sily's wetness is under sc8.

6:39 am

Atalante

I think she must have been playing in the shower. Or fell down the loo. Or magicked water out of thin air

6:41 am

herinfernallady

I always have the loo down. The time that the lid was up there was a puddle on the floor and I did the Oh Dear did you pee on the floor? No gross why have a look at this? and lo and behold there is little kitty paw prints in puddles

6:41 am

Atalante

I did my good deed for the day earlier. Driving down to take pup out, and turn into a tiny lane that more people walk along than drive along. Man was there walking his very elderly golden retriever who was plodding along at snail's pace. Man looks worried, and I just stop and smile and turn the engine off and wait for about 3 minutes until Old Dog had passed by. Man was very grateful

6:41 am

lynxxx

TY Haz. Hello again.

6:42 am

Haz1558

Hello lynxx.

6:42 am

louuol2004

6:42 am

herinfernallady

HI Lynzz Oh Ata you are a sweety

6:43 am

Haz1558

Hello lou.

6:43 am

lynxxx

6:43 am

Atalante

louuol2004

how is every1 today?

6:44 am

lynxxx

Nice Ata. Though I did read away instead of by at first

6:44 am

Atalante

LOL I really tried to phrase it so you wouldn't think that, but I knew everyone would!

6:46 am

herinfernallady

Were did Kate go?

6:47 am

Atalante

she's probably learning some welsh

6:49 am

lynxxx

I've just put the recipe on my profile for the best cake I have ever made. It candies the apples and sugar and is very rich, moist and scrumptious. Easy too

6:50 am

herinfernallady

poor kate. Thanks Lynxx

6:50 am

Haz1558

Does the c stand for cup?

6:51 am

lynxxx

Yes...and the flour is plain flour

6:52 am

Haz1558

It sounds good - could you replace the walnuts with something else?

6:53 am

lynxxx

I suppose so...but the walnuts were very good in it. I added a liitle buttermilk as the mixture seemed very dry, but after cooking I don't think it needed it

6:53 am

Alex7777

still the same people on here]

6:54 am

Haz1558

It's just that husband doesn't like walnuts, but likes other nuts. It sounds as though it should be a nice moist cake.

6:55 am

lynxxx

hazelnuts would be good

6:56 am

Haz1558

We'll give it a go sometime.

6:56 am

herinfernallady

Atalante

Uniquity

I never really got any info on it, I'll have to see pics when you finish. I tend to start cross stitches and never get done them. Fun though.

7:26 am

Atalante

these are only baby ones, much easier

7:26 am

TraderKate

aussie $ up 19% over u.s.$ year to date...no wonder your tourism is down

7:26 am

herinfernallady

No Trade. I picked up a book today and I wanted to se if it was worth the $$

7:26 am

TraderKate

what book?

7:26 am

Uniquity

My aunt does huge ones. I stick to ones the size of sheets of paper or so.

7:27 am

Atalante

I've done biiig ones, but I need to do these quickly, hence small ones :)

7:28 am

herinfernallady

The Kitchen Revolution http://www.thekitchenrevolution.co.uk/ sadly too many frou frou ingrediants

7:29 am

Andree

thx lynxxx

7:29 am

suefrad625

I have a new one.

7:29 am

suefrad625

there is only 5 h's right?

7:29 am

Uniquity

Whoa. Looked at ingredients for one meal. Never going to happen. Aside from the fact that I rarely/never use cookbooks, I just like simple food. Farm food.

7:29 am

suefrad625

3 ho's 2 hu's

7:29 am

suefrad625

right

7:29 am

lynxxx

Just as well US tourists aren't that common here Kate

7:29 am

herinfernallady

There is a better site called http://www.mealopedia.com/ same concept but you can um customise the site to suit your needs

7:30 am

suefrad625

I have all of them, but it is only showing 4/5

7:30 am

TraderKate

is there a war in the kitchen i was unaware of?

7:30 am

suefrad625

I want my gray box!

7:31 am

TraderKate

recipes like choclit covered ant lips?

7:31 am

herinfernallady

Apparently its called this to help fight the kitchen waste.

7:31 am

Uniquity

Does babble itself say you have all five? The lag/red menace is tricky. sometimes you have to refresh to make it work.

7:31 am

TraderKate

you're lucky lynn, get a lot of asians i guess?

7:32 am

herinfernallady

Ewww Trader. I can't have dairy and we eat fish here tinned or otherwise unless we get ill.

7:32 am

TraderKate

good grief...that's what a composter is for

7:33 am

Judi

Mmmmm. Ant lips.

7:33 am

Andree

i love kitchen waste, i am the compost queen

7:33 am

herinfernallady

No Trader. Sometimes you cook to many veggies you can squish them with mash potato and make bubble and squeek

7:34 am

TraderKate

not that fond of fish except love good greasy fish and chips preferable wrapped in yesterday's news ;-0

7:34 am

herinfernallady

Waste in the sense of how much we cook or dont dump.

7:34 am

lynxxx

Kate ..Young European & Brits doing bacpacker thing. Older Asian as tourists. Huge huge huge amount of Asian tertiary students

7:34 am

TraderKate

like bubble and squeek...reminds me of two fat ladies....

7:34 am

herinfernallady

OH we finally got a new fish and chip shop. i am a little excited to see what they are like.

7:35 am

Andree

ca7 please

7:36 am

TraderKate

would love to do aussieland, alas not on the horizon....even want to go to alice springs

7:36 am

Uniquity

Do you find that those numbers are still high, Lynxxx? I've seen very few tourists around this summer at all, although sadly our tourists are almost all American. Lots of repeats, little variety.

7:36 am

TraderKate

must investigate, herin. and report back to me

7:36 am

herinfernallady

We cook very minimilisticly here. I hate buying more than what we need then dumping it. I have a huge lemon tree with rotting lemons on it, sadly b.f is allergic to citrus.

7:36 am

Andree

most americans think aus is too far to visit

7:37 am

lynxxx

and Ameriicans are famous for not travelling as well

7:37 am

TraderKate

numbers are way down for amer. into canada uniquity...our dollar to high for us to be cheap...aqnd only about 20% of amer. have passports

7:38 am

herinfernallady

Kate the last place we had was very dirty and dodgy. This is all new white tiles and shiney. Can not hide grot with white tiles

7:38 am

lynxxx

Not sure how much it has dropped Uni...I am sure it has with the GFC (God I hate those initials)

7:38 am

Uniquity

We get a lot from Boston, Maine, Maryland, etc as we have the ferry service from there. Still not seeing a lot, although I don't entirely mind (other than for the businesses which are closing).

8:50 am

car.eeyore

Which gallery?

8:51 am

Trifioso

8:51 am

car.eeyore

And if the opportunity is there...you have to follow up on it. Just do it!

8:51 am

car.eeyore

8:54 am

Trifioso

8:54 am

Trifioso

I will get me some bridget jones sexy knickers someday

8:55 am

Trifioso

8:55 am

redturtlehead

You never know trif. I am amazed, I really like these patagonia underwear, but...they are like 17 bucks a pair which is reeediculous, so I always wait until they are on sale...

8:55 am

car.eeyore

Oh no! Please give her a HUGE hug from all of us! We LOVE her!

8:56 am

car.eeyore

Did you make the pillow for her?

8:56 am

Trifioso

8:56 am

Trifioso

8:56 am

8:57 am

car.eeyore

Dylan is hungry...must feed the little man! BBL!

8:57 am

Trifioso

yes, and I went to humarock, like you suggested, and found rocks with swirls on them, each one a letter of her name. I took photos of them in the water, as I wave was going out, and need to frame them up, so her name will be in order

8:58 am

Trifioso

I want her to remember where she is from, and who she is, deep down inside. sometimes, when the stress of college gets too much, one can forget that

Trifioso

9:02 am

Trifioso

I've been in Discovery documentaries before. It's really funny making them. they ask you to talk about something "ok, this here is a agnathan fish fossil, well at least the microscales". they look at you and ask you to dumb it down. "This is a fish"

10:55 am

Wolvie

ty phae and jac. salmon for me

10:55 am

jacq

what's the point of dumbing it down? kids have their own

10:56 am

Atalante

10:56 am

TraderKate

11:17 am

It really was a pretty good show, actually dealt with some pretty heavy themes on Route 66.

11:17 am

Wolvie

11:20 am

Gail

11:20 am

Wolvie

I can't get over the fact that a reality show like that plus 8 thing could be popular - I mean, come on

11:23 am

Wolvie

11:24 am

Wolvie

I like Grant and Jason, tango is cool, too

11:24 am

Atalante

I still can't decide whether I like Supernatural or not

11:25 am

TraderKate

never understood any of that much.....and so much seemed to be based in real nastiness - acxtually encouraged...look at that uk houseguest shoe...some indian actress insulted...almost caused international incident!

11:25 am

Gail

Who's the one who wears the stupid visor backwards? I like Tango and Joe has potential. Rob is good, too.

11:25 am

Wolvie

haven't seen that one yet ata

11:26 am

Atalante

it's good, I think. not utterly convinced though

11:26 am

Wolvie

his name escapes me Gail - I think he is on GHI now without the visor tho

11:26 am

Wolvie

I'll look for it then

11:26 am

Wolvie

that's how I am about warehouse 13. :-)

11:26 am

TraderKate

like supernatural...think they may be trying too hard since kim manners died it's not quite the sAME, lost a bit of direction...

11:26 am

Atalante

it does have Jeffrey Dean Morgan in though. Always a plus

11:26 am

TraderKate

love blood ties anyone?

11:27 am

Wolvie

blood ties? haven't seen that

11:27 am

Gail

Yep, his name escapes me, too. He is nice, but seems very immature. I love the settings on GHI that they visit.

11:27 am

TraderKate

did you see the "eye of the tiger out take he did at end of an episode- what a scream...

11:28 am

Wolvie

12:00 pm

BabbleRabble

land use regs are tedious

12:01 pm

Atalante

it's ok, just frustrating. 3 years of back and forth accomplishing nothing but a few changes in wording

12:03 pm

Atalante

a big energy company wants to build an LNG plant on the Columbia RIver. The discussion should be about LNG and the safety / environmental concerns. But now it's just boiled down to picky land ownership claims

12:04 pm

Ouwachita

12:16 pm

A ten-year-old boy is to be charged with first-degree murder after he allegedly used his own rifle to shoot his father in the head.

2:44 pm

suefrad625

I run them both at the same time to hang with you all

his own rifle? how did a ten year old boy have his own rifle?

2:45 pm

BabbleRabble

The boy — who has not been named — reportedly told detectives that he had killed his father for trying to discipline him too harshly.

2:45 pm

suefrad625

was it an accident?

2:45 pm

suefrad625

was he taught about guns and how to use them?

2:45 pm

suefrad625

then Yes, he should be charged

i agree that kids shouldn't be charged as adults. watched very very carefully and guided towards a different direction of development, yes.

2:48 pm

10 year olds may be able to form intent but they cannot not possibly gauge the reality of their actions

2:48 pm

TraderKate

diudn't read story, doin't know circumstances, have no opin ion

2:48 pm

I am all for watching the kid until he is 18 (when he no longer can be held as a child)

2:49 pm

BabbleRabble

The case is the second of its kind in the US in recent months. An eight-year-old in St John’s, Arizona, was charged with two counts of homicide after allegedly shooting his father and another man last November.

2:49 pm

2:49 pm

on the other hand this is indeed part of why I oppose the free and easy access to guns

boy that ending is killing me goign to add it to every word bet I get 20 words lol

3:49 pm

lynxxx

Thats good, it seemed like such a big change. I thought you had adopted her?

3:49 pm

meliae

they will not let me adopt her she is too old they gave me guardianship

3:50 pm

meliae

which is a legal night mare but at least I can make sure she is provided for if something happens to me

3:51 pm

lynxxx

Your blood is worth bottling!

3:53 pm

meliae

I could go for the adoption but it would cost me a fortune as I would have to look for any relatives of hers that might object, that alone would cost a small fortune. I was also worried about any of her family trying to come and take any monies I left for her care, we are looking into finding someone who will take care of all that.

3:56 pm

meliae

the last people who had her took all her money and dumped her in a state home, her husband had died and she inherited a bit of money. I am not sure of the entire amount but I think it was around 20,000 of course nothing can be done to them legally but it makes me so angry

3:56 pm

lynxxx

Do you have Public Trustees over there? I would have thought they would be suitable person/s

3:57 pm

jacq

would make me angry too mel, taking advantage of someone so vulnerable

3:57 pm

meliae

yes the money will go into a trust fund, the trick is finding someone I trust lol

3:58 pm

Wolvie

that is pretty cruddy treatment of someone - whatever the circumstances.

3:58 pm

meliae

I finally got the reults back on her IQ testing, they do it by grade levels she tested out at grade 2 I actually think it should be higher. She does show some savant qualities like she can remember phone numbers like no ones business.

3:59 pm

meliae

I thought they would give me an IQ level but they dont do that. or perhaps she was not able to complete the tests enough for them to come up with one

5:24 pm

BabbleRabble

don't know if it is an urban legend ... supposedly, the wife of a soldier killed in action sprinkled his ashes in the back yard .. she could look at the flowers in the back yard each spring as he came back to visit her

5:24 pm

Dorens

well thanks, red, thought you'd never ask

5:25 pm

crosshair

nope,most people will just look the other way for a moment dorens

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

5:25 pm

jacq

5:26 pm

crosshair

who can say br..:)

5:26 pm

jacq

althought when my mum dropped the urn in after him we did think we might have to go in fater it

5:26 pm

Uneaixoise

The law forbids you to dispose of "human remains" on public land and inland bodies of water. This happens anyway, but if you are caught you will go to prison, straight to prison, and stay there a very long time.

5:26 pm

Dorens

hmm, jac, i don't think one is supposed to do that... I didn't have an urn actually

5:26 pm

Uneaixoise

from ehow.com -- good grief

5:26 pm

jacq

even ashes?

5:27 pm

crosshair

une,ive done my grandads ashes,and other family members,i cannot see a judge giving me 20 years for spreading my fathers ashes in a area 400 miles north of toronto lol

5:27 pm

Dorens

sounds kind of heartless, but i suppose they have an effect on the water ??

5:27 pm

jacq

dropping the urn was an accident, she was dusting it with her sleeve

5:27 pm

Dorens

no, crossy, not up there!!!

5:28 pm

crosshair

we put more crap in the water,the ashes are the cleanest thing we dump

5:28 pm

Uneaixoise

apparently EPA has a form on their website! OHMYGOD

5:28 pm

BabbleRabble

I was told the city landfill will not accept my ashes ... but they also acknowledged it is difficult to police what goes in landfills

5:28 pm

Uneaixoise

crossy, just quoting what I found online

5:28 pm

crosshair

remember it is just a pound or so and it is bone aash

5:28 pm

jacq

Dorens, i live on the coast and believe me ashes are the least offensive thing floating in that water

5:28 pm

Dorens

oh, that makes more sense jac.

5:28 pm

hurshy

the city LANDFILL???

5:28 pm

crosshair

5:34 pm

BabbleRabble

I will be donating my organs (and any other instruments that are found) and cremated ... my wish is simply to have the ashes serve for the good

5:34 pm

hurshy

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea what I want to do with remains of me.

5:35 pm

5:41 pm

Dorens

glad we're all in agreement

5:41 pm

BabbleRabble

grids are challenges .. people are evil

5:41 pm

hurshy

ok, so i did something today and it's not a big deal but i'm curious what you guys will think of it

5:41 pm

crosshair

do tell

5:41 pm

Uneaixoise

yeeeessss??

5:41 pm

Dorens

all ears hursh

5:42 pm

crosshair

well not ALL ears,that would be gross;))

5:42 pm

Dorens

so, maybe i'm gross, cross...

5:42 pm

crosshair

think of the q-tip expense

5:43 pm

Dorens

ah, but you wouldn't need q-tips, the canals would be so big you could use washcloths

5:43 pm

Dorens

sorry, hursh.. please tell us

5:43 pm

crosshair

anyways lloks to be a good one

5:43 pm

hurshy

well, there is this cute undergrad who transferred to yale last year from west point, and my friend/coworker alison is only 24, and single, and since i've spoken with him several times and the prof thinks highly of him, i thought, hmm, and when i heard them talking, he sounded like he could potentially find her attractive (although he's very friendly so it's hard to tell). so... i slipped him her phone number on our way out the building. she doesn't know. is that ... weird?

5:43 pm

BabbleRabble

or a sandblaster

5:43 pm

firefly779

hopefully you aren't deaf with all those ears...

5:44 pm

Dorens

well,yeah, it is weird

5:44 pm

crosshair

crossy backs away sloly in regards to match making andd leaves it to the ladies....

5:44 pm

hurshy

darn it, i knew i was weird.

5:44 pm

Dorens

but it might turn out to be good, so what the heck. just hope alison doesn't mind.. you know her well?

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

I would agree that it is a bit odd.

5:44 pm

firefly779

sounds great to me - if the coworker appreciates such things (I would've!!)

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

I would not want someone giving out my number without permission.

5:45 pm

Dorens

sure you're weird, hursh, but you're loveable weird

5:45 pm

hurshy

we are good friends. i figure if he never calls her, she'll never know, and therefore can't mind.

5:45 pm

hurshy

oh, i made sure she thought he was cute and interesting first.

5:45 pm

hurshy

so if he does call, she will be glad.

5:45 pm

hurshy

which will take the edge off her desire to kill me. :)

5:45 pm

Dorens

are you ready for her being upset that you did it, if he does and she isn't happy about it? i'm sure she would know that you meant well, and when i was single i was looking for all the help i could get

5:46 pm

firefly779

phantom word - cacti

5:46 pm

Dorens

oh, she thinks he's cute and interesting, that does make it less weird

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

I'm single, and that would bother me, but I would understand hursh that you meant well.

5:46 pm

hurshy

but i made sure he knows that this was just MY idea (and weirdness) and that she isn't some bizarro chick who got me to do this.

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

but I should have that I have issues and in general I dont like people. Alison is probably more normal.

5:48 pm

Dorens

and when he calls her, does he tell her how he got thenumber?

5:48 pm

hurshy

i am pretty sure it won't bother her if he does call.

5:48 pm

Dorens

this could turn out very nicely

5:48 pm

firefly779

If some hot guy called me, out of the blue, I'd feel suspicious, but probably happy

5:48 pm

hurshy

of course he will have to tell her how he got the number, but as i said, i figure the gladness at the call will take the edge off the homicidal desires.

5:49 pm

firefly779

Especially in a non-high school type situation (or college really)

5:49 pm

Dorens

please let me know how it goes... i am curious

5:49 pm

hurshy

he probably won't call, though, just because he'll think the whole thing is weird, cause i did it stupidly.

5:49 pm

Dorens

how did he react? amused? iinterested? blasé?

5:50 pm

hurshy

amused, i think.

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

Do you know that he is single?

5:50 pm

Dorens

i would think so. hopefully he's cool enough to call, just for the h... of it

5:50 pm

zoozzoom

and fireworks for me.

5:51 pm

hurshy

i don't know, but he's like, a 20 year old college student, how attached can he be to anybody?

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

Yaaay Zooz!

5:51 pm

firefly779

congrats zoozzoom!

5:51 pm

Dorens

yay zooz!

5:51 pm

hurshy

and again, if he doesn't call, she'll never know about it, so she won't have to feel like, oh, he didn't find me attractive, or anything like that.

5:51 pm

crosshair

yaa for zooz

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

My best friend in School was married at 18 to another college student.

5:52 pm

hurshy

well, he's not married.

5:52 pm

zoozzoom

many thanks babble friends, ok getting out of the way of the chat.

5:52 pm

Dorens

good point hursh (about not calling)

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

I was just thinking he could be amused because he is involved already..

5:52 pm

firefly779

my hubby and i dated from age 17 until we married 5 years later

5:53 pm

hurshy

yeah, and if he is, then, you know, that's fine, right? he throws it out and nothing happens.

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

as long as it doesn't come up.

5:53 pm

kje

boy-girl stuff.... how did it get so complicated?

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

hi kje.

5:54 pm

hurshy

in fact it's BETTER if he just has a girlfriend, than if he doesn't but isn't interested.

5:54 pm

Dorens

you know, k, eve..... and the apple....

5:54 pm

kje

yep... all the apple's fault ; )

5:54 pm

Dorens

have your conversations ever led to where you'd know if he had a girlfriend?

5:54 pm

crosshair

it can be very easy.i dont know a single young man wo would refuse if a attractive lass walked up to him and said "hey your cute,want to go out sometime?"

5:54 pm

hurshy

because of course, i like her very much, and so i feel that he ought to be interested. :)

5:55 pm

hurshy

no, i don't think i would know if he had a girlfriend. except, he spent the whole summer in africa.

5:55 pm

Dorens

but i know a lot of attractive lasses who would have a hard time doing that

5:55 pm

firefly779

exactly crosshair! it should be that simple

5:55 pm

hurshy

and he didn't say "it was rough being away from my girlfriend for so long"

5:56 pm

Dorens

my son spent the whole summer in africa after sophmore year. and he wrote his girlfriend into the grant so she went too

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

Well, hursh, I hope it works out well for her and the guy and you.

5:56 pm

firefly779

but then, said lass will feel like she did all the work, and she doesn't get that "prince charming swept ME off MY feet" feeling

5:57 pm

hurshy

well, i'd say it's 90% chance nothing happens, 9% chance he calls and they go out a couple of times, 1% chance anything really comes of it.

5:57 pm

crosshair

lol firefly 17 years ago,my wife proposed to me! lol

5:57 pm

firefly779

that's sweet crosshair - does she ever feel like she missed something, it not being the other way around?

5:58 pm

crosshair

5:59 pm

Dorens

ok. now you're expectiing my swiss cheese brain will remember to ask. i will try

5:59 pm

firefly779

my hubby was shy too - in HS he asks me "Do you like Star Wars movies?" and I say in more words "yes". That was it. I asked him "Are you asking me out to the movies??" Then he says "well, um, if you wanted to..." We've been together ever since. :) I asked him to Prom too.

6:00 pm

hurshy

Dorens

spinach, apricots

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

I think Stid its a combo of a huge influx of patients, an increase in training, and a slightly not so good nutrition, which I have improved.

6:24 pm

stidmama

spinach yes, too much sulphur in apricots.

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

SPinach, kale...

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

I have a great recipe for a portuguese kale soup!

6:25 pm

Dorens

....liver????? ( i wouldn't touch it myself)

6:25 pm

stidmama

mmmm. kale! that's what we haven't had this summer... since I was in school and the garden never got started, we didn't grow any kale!

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

and you knwo to eat spinach with vitamin C to enhance absorbtion and to avoid milk?

6:25 pm

jacq

steamed greens

6:25 pm

hurshy

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

Stid, I also get the kids chewables with iron in it, never makes me ill.

6:25 pm

redturtlehead

Yes tomtos have lots of it.

6:26 pm

stidmama

I don't do anything from a cow anyway, red, but had forgotten the vitamin C connection. Orange sauce, perhaps,

6:26 pm

BabbleRabble

"One dark night, when people were in bed,
Mrs. O' Leary lit a lantern in her shed,
The cow kicked it over, winked its eye, and said,
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."

dcseain

this grid is challenging, dr

6:40 pm

yes it is!

oh, so it's all the cow's fault!

6:46 pm

stidmama

the Y is in the wrong place, or "curvy" would work. *says the woman who does NOT need to gain any weight*

6:46 pm

stidmama

HA. NBT! and almost to halfway...

6:47 pm

hurshy

i hate this grid.

6:47 pm

stidmama

I am thinking you and I have a lot in common today, hurshy.

6:47 pm

DR1965

I said that already Hurshy : )

6:48 pm

stidmama

DR, how is your son? enjoying the last few days of freedom, or looking forward to being around friends a bit more?

6:48 pm

BabbleRabble

there are a number of words ending in us or tus

6:48 pm

rbud

drat, no stills? my ancestors were avid moonshiners, I'm told. :)

6:49 pm

Dorens

freedom? what is freedom ( other than just another word for nothin' left to lose). school started today for me! ddrat

6:49 pm

DR1965

he is anxious for school to start Stid- what about yours

6:49 pm

dcseain

my great-grandparents used to run alcohol from toronto to cleveland back during alcohol prohibition

6:50 pm

stidmama

dorens is the one who needs a still! LOL

6:50 pm

DR1965

oh bummer Dorens!

6:50 pm

Dorens

usually i'm happy about it, but somehow this summer i really got into the rhythm of reading and being lazy!

6:50 pm

stidmama

they are looking forward to it. friends, routine, sense of accomplishment. All the things that I could barely provide this summer with my own courseload, they will have in abundance in a week.

6:51 pm

Dorens

kids usually do like going back to school, despite what they say

6:51 pm

hurshy

my great-grandparents lived in a townhouse in queens and had a giant stuffed snoopy.

6:51 pm

DR1965

I think the routine is the key in our home

6:51 pm

stidmama

what fun, hurshy!

6:52 pm

dcseain

cool, hurshy

6:52 pm

Dorens

all my great grandparents lived in shtetls (the word you all hate when it's in the grid) in Poland/Russia/Belarus and i never knew any of them, neither did mmy parents

6:52 pm

hurshy

i didn't like going back to school until like... 10th or 11th grade.

6:52 pm

stidmama

"fictoon" - made-up manga?

6:52 pm

stidmama

wow dorens.

6:52 pm

BabbleRabble

hurshy, you likely have these, former job ... boat(s)

6:52 pm

hurshy

"what fun", "cool"?? it was meant to illustrate the boringness.

6:52 pm

dcseain

i always liked school, but hated when we switched from year round to traditional calendar.

6:53 pm

hurshy

yep, i do, thanks br :)

6:53 pm

stidmama

my mother knew her great-grandfather, who died when she was ten, but I never really even met his daughter who died when I was almost 2.

6:53 pm

Dorens

i hated school. like, forever (so why did i become a teacher?)

6:53 pm

dcseain

my last great-grandparent died when i was 28. The first to die died when i was 15 mos.

6:54 pm

stidmama

I liked school, wish I had gone into teaching twenty years ago (then I would have seniority already)

6:54 pm

hurshy

maybe it's like hazing?

6:54 pm

BabbleRabble

I did not mind school after I no longer had to go

6:54 pm

stidmama

long-lived family, seain? or just child brides? *wicked mama look*

6:54 pm

dcseain

a bit of both, stid.

6:55 pm

hurshy

between the too-slow pace and the fact that i had a good deal of social anxiety, school was a bit of a drag.

6:55 pm

dcseain

19-25 years between generations, and most live into at least their 80s.

6:55 pm

dcseain

and i'm descended from eldest children

6:55 pm

stidmama

most of my ancestors were the eldest of 15 or so, or the youngest of 15 or so... and so I sometimes have two generations on one side in the time-frame of one on another.

6:55 pm

dcseain

now hang on snoopy is stuck in my head

6:56 pm

dcseain

neat, stid.

6:56 pm

Dorens

they skipped me in kindergarten when they figured out i had taught myself to read and whisked me downstairs for a bunch of tests.... i think it wasn't good for me, at least i'd like to blame my problems on it

6:56 pm

hurshy

i thought that was sloopy

6:56 pm

stidmama

and the walloons who came from amsterdam were so intermarried that I actually have some ancestors who are the aunts/uncles of their siblings. or something like that. It was a while ago.

6:57 pm

dcseain

near enough :)

6:57 pm

Dorens

after all, the book.... "everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten"? i missed it all... explains my social ineptitud e rather neatly i think

6:57 pm

Jacula

It is, Hursh.

6:57 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Just puzzling over my final 52. *sigh*

6:57 pm

Dorens

and that is why i hated school

6:57 pm

stidmama

oh dear, dorens! (my mother would not let them skip me up and I resented it for years... until I became a parent and realized there is more to school than just book-larnin')

6:57 pm

Dorens

hi jac, how goes it?

6:57 pm

stidmama

hey Jac

6:57 pm

hurshy

i learned to read when i was 2. the first time i actually learned anything new in school was in third grade, when they put me in a fourth grade math class, and i was very upset at there being stuff my mom hadn't taught me yet. i had had no idea til then that the POINT of school was to learn things.

6:58 pm

Dorens

rejoice stid, your mom might have really made the right call

6:58 pm

dcseain

hello, jac

6:58 pm

stidmama

wow hurshy -- I can't even imagine being that far ahead!

6:58 pm

Dorens

well hurshy, that explains a lot too!!

6:59 pm

hurshy

small wonder i preferred summer, reading and swimming all day every day

6:59 pm

Jacula

I, too learned to read early. Raced through the class books when I started school at 4 and a half and was always on the year ahead's books in 1st school.

7:00 pm

hurshy

and we all developed so well socially that we spend half our time online :)

7:00 pm

Dorens

yes, and it was a drag... everyone knew i would finish first, and so what... i spent forever waiting for people to finish... BORING.

7:00 pm

Dorens

indeed hurshy. it all makes sense

7:00 pm

stidmama

I am VERY social online... and have learned by that how to handle myself better in crowds in real life...

7:01 pm

Jacula

Hursh - LOL.

7:01 pm

Dorens

yes stid, you win the prize for most social babbler (i guess depending on definition of social)

7:01 pm

hurshy

in sixth grade, our teacher at one point allowed us to arrange our desks however we liked. there were groups of friends... i had mine facing out the window...

7:01 pm

Jacula

However, being online allows me to talk frequently to relatives and friends who live far away or abroad.

7:02 pm

stidmama

*grin* that's me, the babble butterfly!

7:02 pm

stidmama

oh hurshy... *sad mama look*

7:02 pm

hurshy

but i was happier that way!

7:02 pm

hurshy

not having to deal with Other Kids

7:03 pm

Matches

need clue for last sa 5/10 word

7:03 pm

Dorens

of course you were... and if they'd sent you to me (for social maladjustment I'd just have totally understood

7:03 pm

stidmama

ah. in that case, I am glad you had the chance to do that.

7:03 pm

Dorens

as a counselor now, it is weird, cause what the "normal" teachers think of as "normal"... well, often i think they are the bullies

7:04 pm

stidmama

and you are probably right most of the time, dorens.

7:04 pm

DR1965

they probably are bullies Dorens

7:04 pm

hurshy

most teachers were actually fine with whatever i wanted to do. they mostly seem to feel that if you are doing well on your work, that's the main thing. or they did then.

7:04 pm

rbud

sa 5 - same as the shiny fabric, but ends as it starts

7:05 pm

DR1965

my son is very excited that the bully that was in his class lat year is not in his class this year

7:05 pm

Matches

ty rbud fireworks here

7:05 pm

stidmama

I was astonished recently when a soon-to-be 11th grader asserted that it's important to put people down so they "learn how to handle it" -- and I thought what a sad commentary that is on modern society.

7:05 pm

rbud

or pl of the 2nd sa 4/4...

7:06 pm

BabbleRabble

congrats, Matches

7:06 pm

hurshy

actually, it was funny, in 8th grade my mom went to a parent/teacher conference and was talking about how they should challenge me more, and it was team teaching so they were all meeting together, including whatever short-term class you happened to be in for that quarter. so the art teacher goes, "she gets all A's? then what's the problem?"

7:06 pm

stidmama

YAY Matches!

7:06 pm

DR1965

wtg Matches

7:06 pm

Jacula

stid - sadly, society has become very cruel.

7:06 pm

rbud

woohoo, Matches!!!

7:07 pm

dcseain

congrats, matches

7:07 pm

stidmama

*rolls eyes* yes, asking students to stretch a little -- and risk failure -- shouldn't be a foreign concept. But teachers and parents usually only see how the student is doing compared to peers, not how they could be doing compared to their own abilities.

7:08 pm

Jacula

Congrats Matches.

7:08 pm

DR1965

so true Stid!

7:09 pm

Shirlockc

not a teacher myself but i've always thought it must be one of hardest jobs in world

7:09 pm

stidmama

at the same time, as a teacher, there is less and less time to prepare well-balanced curricula that will challenge students at their levels while meeting the standards now set for all...

7:10 pm

dcseain

so true, and unfortunate, that, stid :/

7:10 pm

BabbleRabble

Yes, Shirlock ... both being a parent and a teacher

7:10 pm

hurshy

there just need to be more gifted & talented specialists brought in to give some separate time to those kids.

7:11 pm

Shirlockc

except you get paid for being a teacher

7:11 pm

hurshy

i mean, assuming the US doesn't want to continue to fall behind the rest of the world...

7:11 pm

dcseain

i attended a regional magnet school for HS, which was a MUCH better experience than my base HS

7:11 pm

stidmama

It would be nice if students were grouped according to their learning needs and not by their ages... that would be a good start. But developmental readiness doesn't seem to be the current emphasis in politics.

7:12 pm

Shirlockc

but stid, what happens then to social dev?

7:13 pm

stidmama

I think that, in real life, we are rarely age-grouped, shirlock. In history, it is only in the last couple hundred years in the industrialized nations that children are grouped by age and isolated from society.

7:13 pm

dcseain

i agree, stid.

7:13 pm

stidmama

and age is not necessarily indicative of social readiness any more than it is of academic readiness.

7:13 pm

DR1965

My son does much better with kids older than him

7:14 pm

hurshy

but it doesn't help much to put a smart kid with older kids who happen to be at a later point - they soon catch up and they still then move at a faster pace than those around them.

7:14 pm

dcseain

about grouping by ability rather than age, especially.

7:14 pm

DR1965

he does not do well with his own age

7:14 pm

stidmama

being in mixed-age groups -- and mixed-ability groups -- has the advantage of helping students learn to both mentor others and to ask for help when they need it.

7:14 pm

disneyjessi

dislikes our public school system which just eliminated all classes for students needing extra help or tutoring as well as eliminating cursive handwriting from curriculum. Here comes a whole generation that can't sign their name.

7:15 pm

Shirlockc

interesting -- what do you guys think about the pays kids to preform idea?

7:15 pm

DR1965

I do ot pay him for his grades

7:15 pm

stidmama

my personal preference is to have mixed-age groups all studying the same theme, but each student at the level that meets the developmental growth. However, that requires a HUGE investment in time on the part of the teachers.

7:15 pm

DR1965

* not

7:15 pm

dcseain

i do not approve of that at all, shirlock

7:16 pm

disneyjessi

no...i don't give allowance either. helping is part of being a family.

7:16 pm

stidmama

disney -- we already have college-age students who can't read or write in cursive...

7:16 pm

disneyjessi

that's crazy

7:16 pm

Shirlockc

i vouch for that when i read resumes etc

7:16 pm

DR1965

its true though

7:17 pm

Shirlockc

i also supervised

7:17 pm

DR1965

hence- I let my 10 yr old babble

7:17 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone!

7:17 pm

rbud

ahhhh, I fireworked!!! :D

7:17 pm

stidmama

I give my children a nominal amount for each academic A on report cards because it demonstrates (for them) a commitment to having done the homework. HOWEVER, they are both highly capable, and less than an 'A' in anything really does mean they aren't trying. If they were not so well matched as siblings I would not do such a thing.

7:17 pm

dcseain

my elder nephew is 10, and finds cursive difficult, and can barely write in it. He does not get marked down for that.

7:17 pm

Shirlockc

supervised interns and most were terrible in terms of their learnings

7:17 pm

Jacula

Hi lbd.

7:17 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo rbud!!

7:18 pm

our elder child will never write well by hand due to the cerebral palsy. But when we homeschooled we still drilled both manuscript and cursive. As much so he can read other people's correspondence as write...

7:19 pm

stidmama

you said it, disney!

7:19 pm

stidmama

okay, I need to get said elder child to band practice. Did I mention how glad I always am when football season is over?

7:19 pm

dcseain

well done stid! yes, ability to read script is more important than the ability to write in it.

7:19 pm

lol stid!

7:29 pm

Jacula

My son now thinks I've gone bonkers. Or 'more' bonkers, should I say.

7:30 pm

BabbleRabble

I never had a sword ... and can't draw a stick man
