1:22 am

jillibus

Hi sprite!

1:23 am

flosey

morning Sprite

1:23 am

flosey

oh, didn't even get around to changing icon

1:23 am

sprite

*hugs flosey and jilli*

1:23 am

jillibus

there was no choice -- these are the ones who wanted to be given dinner. They got dessert and decaf

1:23 am

MissOmnibus

30 to go... phew

1:23 am

sprite

me neither, flosey!

1:23 am

flosey

hugs back sprite

1:24 am

jillibus

neither did I, but I have a way to go yet

1:24 am

flosey

well I certainly would not make dinner for them

1:24 am

sprite

ok now I am too curious to keep still. What or who is the AH?

1:25 am

jillibus

sprite, bugsaw picked the horseshoe crab too> I don't think you've met her, have you?

1:25 am

sprite

now I haven't, but that is great! Isn't it fascinating?

1:25 am

jillibus

Alice Hammett bridge competition

1:27 am

sprite

lol, now here's an example of getting a perfect answer to a question and still not knowing anything more :)

Btw jilli, love your animal and write-up!

1:27 am

sprite

awww and flosey, yours too :D :D

1:28 am

flosey

lol

1:28 am

jillibus

ty sprite :)

1:29 am

sprite

so... Alice Hammett is a special bridge competition that you want to work extra hard for, though you do not like it?

1:29 am

flosey

incidentally, the two old timers are dancing, not fighting as may seem

1:29 am

grannyrose

sorry folks, was distracted by a wood-pigeon fledgling, fell out of tree, and it couldn't work out how to get back up.

1:29 am

grannyrose

hello sprite

1:29 am

sprite

oh I saw they were dancing right away!

1:29 am

sprite

aww rose... how did it end?

1:29 am

flosey

good, sprite

1:30 am

mrpresident

evening :)

1:30 am

mrpresident

hi rose!!

1:30 am

sprite

hello mrP

1:30 am

flosey

hi there mrp

1:31 am

grannyrose

hubby put it back up, i hope the parents find it....we have feral cats around here, was worried it would be eaten.

1:31 am

sprite

well done rose and rosehubby

1:31 am

jillibus

I had to do more cooking than I like for AH tonight, that's all, sprite, because our opponents could only come at night. I like to play bridge, not spend hours worrying about what to feed the players, and cooking worries me.

1:31 am

grannyrose

hey mrp...i know, i know, still no facebook, i will do it sometime, i promise

1:32 am

jillibus

hi mrp!

1:32 am

sprite

me too, jilli! *hugs* thanks for explaining and I hope the game was worth it!

1:32 am

flosey

jilli, why wouldn't you just buy something?

1:32 am

flosey

yes, hope you won!

1:32 am

jillibus

we did win

1:33 am

sprite

good :D

1:33 am

flosey

GOOD!

1:33 am

mrpresident

is ok rose... take your time.

1:33 am

grannyrose

we have had a sole wood-pigeon in our garden for 2 years, he/she apparently has found a mate, so we are watching very intently to see how it all turns out.

1:33 am

jillibus

for dessert? Hard to find something interesting. And my effort was a mess -- a fruit cobbler.

1:33 am

flosey

sounds yummy

1:33 am

sprite

aww rose, garden romance

1:34 am

sprite

any left, jilli? I'd love to taste that.

1:34 am

mrpresident

sounds yummy? the wood pigeon or the fruit cobbler?

1:34 am

flosey

don't think I'd care for wood pigeon mrp, thanks anyway

1:35 am

mrpresident

must say... not much yum on a wood pigeon!

1:35 am

flosey

jilli, there are lots who bye cookies, or whatever

1:35 am

grannyrose

* giggle * sprite, with all their carrying-ons, hubby once shouted to them, hey you two, get a room..

1:35 am

jillibus

It didn't turn out very well. Long story. And it was not really appreciated -- complaints about starting too late, not wanting dessert or coffee (but when they heard it was decaf it was accepted.

1:36 am

flosey

well ljilli, that's just darn rude!!!!!

1:36 am

sprite

(((((jilli)))) sandwiches and bought cookies for next time, they aren't worthy of your efforts!

1:36 am

jillibus

flosey, it will be bought cookies for afternoon games. Remember these people wanted DINNER.

1:36 am

sprite

ok, they can have soup with it next time. From a can.

1:37 am

jillibus

They didn't get dinner! One of them was nice and the other one thawed later on.

1:37 am

flosey

we had a funny experience once, was to be at lunch! and they were in a hurry, etc. etc. so my p and I suggested we'd bring our own sandwich - hahaha, misunderstanding, seems they thought we'd supply sandwiches for all

1:38 am

sprite

lol a nice opportunity to learn and share *evil grin*

1:38 am

jillibus

Oh, it's too compicated to explain here, but my partner has a husband who wanted a proper dinner so there was no way I was serving sandwiches or anything else.

1:38 am

flosey

it was hard to repress giggles

1:38 am

sprite

jilli, they should be happy they got to play with you and be with you. I'd eat old bread just to be able to do that.

1:38 am

flosey

suppress?

1:39 am

flosey

refrain

1:39 am

flosey

it's late and I'm tired

1:39 am

sprite

you were perfectly clear, flosey.

1:40 am

MissOmnibus

1:40 am

jillibus

1:40 am

sprite

1:40 am

flosey

1:43 am

MissOmnibus

1:44 am

MissOmnibus

1:44 am

sprite

Though I remember it myself as being a babblet.

1:48 am

sprite

1:48 am

sprite

oh wow rose, now that would be something!

1:49 am

grannyrose

you could time them to see if they do better than the ty4's

1:49 am

sprite

1:54 am

jillibus

Marmite is close

1:54 am

sprite

1:55 am

grannyrose

sprite , we have tall tales in Oz land, which we tell our junior cub scouts on their first night camp.

1:55 am

MissOmnibus

ill see if i can find a pic... they love eatin tourists... they get them more than our Ivan Mallats...

1:55 am

flosey

they come up to spawn jilli, don't know how good they'd be

1:55 am

MissOmnibus

http://features.cgsociety.org/galleryi
mages/5225/Drop_Bear.jpg something like this.

1:55 am

jillibus

oh yes, past their best by date

1:56 am

sprite

oh lovely, rose! Like 'better watch out for the dropbears!' ?

1:56 am

MissOmnibus

they're pretty savage

1:56 am

grannyrose

one is that drop bears drop out of the trees at night, and you have to be ready to duck. makes interesting night walks with newbies

1:56 am

flosey

remember, I'm from Ontario, we had an occasional fresh brook trout, but for the most part, no fish

1:56 am

flosey

how big is a drop bear?

1:57 am

sprite

wow, not pretty

1:57 am

MissOmnibus

*giggles*

1:57 am

grannyrose

about the size of a koala, i think

1:57 am

jillibus

oh yuk, MissO!

1:57 am

sprite

looks like one of the trolls that Rien Poortvliet drew.

1:57 am

flosey

hmmm, that could hurt

1:57 am

MissOmnibus

i heard they grow bigger, depending on their consumpton

1:58 am

jillibus

do they eat vegemite?

1:58 am

sprite

with a boy scout or two behind the buttons it might grow as big as a panther

1:58 am

flosey

must get to bed, goodnight all

1:58 am

MissOmnibus

nah they hate vegemite

1:58 am

MissOmnibus

you have to put it on your face and behind your ears befre you go out bush

1:58 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey, and dream of sweet gummy bears, not of dropbears.

1:58 am

grannyrose

oh, that too, omni. forgot to tell you folks, their favorite meal is newbie junior cub scouts * grins *

1:59 am

flosey

now that does sound much more interesting Sprite, will do

1:59 am

flosey

grannyrose

1:59 am

jillibus

MissOmnibus

1:59 am

jillibus

Night flosey :)

1:59 am

grannyrose

just, boy scouts and newbie girl guides.

2:01 am

sprite

woot, one 7 down, one to go.

2:01 am

grannyrose

the newbie's eyes get as big as saucers when you tell them. it's hard not to laugh sometimes.

2:02 am

sprite

and then, when they are older and they know the truth, they will tell the next generation the same story :)

2:02 am

grannyrose

2:03 am

sprite

aw sweet! And you hiding a wicked grin in the darkness.

2:03 am

rolin

morning all....what is it with the little grids lately??

2:03 am

2:03 am

grannyrose

and VEGEMITE!!!!

2:03 am

rolin

ooooh drop bears...dangerous them..lol

2:03 am

2:06 am

MissOmnibus

promite is the poms thing i think

2:06 am

MissOmnibus

marmite doesnt taste like anything

2:06 am

rolin

and it doesnt drip granny

2:06 am

grannyrose

trick is to use it sparingly, it's not like chocolate spread or peanut butter.

2:08 am

sprite

lol, that invoked in me a picture of someone trying out marmite/vegemite in such a spread.

2:08 am

grannyrose

my brother, when he was 2 years old, decided to spread his own toast with it, when mum turned around, he had the WHOLE jar on one slice of toast.

2:09 am

MissOmnibus

ahaha

2:09 am

grannyrose

very neatly mounded, it was.

2:09 am

2:09 am

rolin

eeewww

2:09 am

MissOmnibus

man, you go toast some bread then butter, vegemite, more butter, more vegemite, cream cheese omnomnom

2:10 am

jillibus

2:15 am

rolin

2:15 am

grannyrose

yep, rolin. some wanted to call it parmite, as opposed to marmite

2:17 am

grannyrose

i think there was also Imite or something like that, really weird names.

2:17 am

rolin

vegemite....is iconic.... it must remain unadukterated

2:18 am

jillibus

I'm going to have some nice banana and milk

2:18 am

6:39 am

herinfernallady

My poor friend is devastated. Her parents decided to clean her house with her as she is having a bub soon. Her parents threw out, gone to the tip 20 years worth of photos and newspaper clippings and letters as they perceived it as junk

6:39 am

crosshair

took me a while to find the fancy boat,had to think of the amreican spelling and it just wouldnt come

6:40 am

FMitch

How awful herin! What were they thinking!

6:41 am

crosshair

a good clean out by a outside party,too easy to turn into a hoarder

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Well according to her it was according to their values. Crossy these were photos and newspaper clippers of her

6:42 am

herinfernallady

Yes Fm it is awful as she said she feels like its a fire situation. All gone

6:42 am

crosshair

well if they are all neat and in binders,that would be nice then the parents are wrong to toss them

6:42 am

herinfernallady

It was in a big box. Clearly photos. Not junk

6:42 am

crosshair

ahh

6:43 am

littlebit

woohoo! don't have to go to work again today!!

6:43 am

crosshair

then if i were her,id change the locks and not let mumsy and dadsy in

6:43 am

FMitch

add an s crossy and you have a grid word

6:43 am

littlebit

all!

6:43 am

herinfernallady

And she was trying to get them into albums after she had scanned them which she was doing slowly

6:43 am

herinfernallady

LITLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE

6:43 am

littlebit

HERIN!!

6:43 am

crosshair

ty fm;))

6:44 am

FMitch

BRB

6:44 am

herinfernallady

I just don't know what to say to her its so sad

6:45 am

herinfernallady

LB I have had a lot of issues with FB I am not ignoring people

6:46 am

JenMO16

guess i don't need to buy a vowel today!

6:46 am

littlebit

didn't think for second that you were ignoring me!

6:46 am

Trifioso

herin - forgive me for butting in, but all might not be as lost as she thinks! Newspaper archives are often on disk or microfilm at the library, or newspaper offices themselves. Many times other people have photos of the same events we do, and copies can be made.

6:47 am

Trifioso

it takes some leg work, but most photos are never actually lost.

6:47 am

herinfernallady

Trifs its all at the tip. ITs all to hard for her. Lots of her photos are pre digital including people that she doesn't have words to

6:48 am

Trifioso

that is what I am saying, herin - if it's predigital, it still exists somewhere-

6:49 am

Trifioso

if she really wants them back, she can find them, in some form. do her parents express regret at what happened, or are they just "oh well" about it?

6:49 am

herinfernallady

Trifs it doesn't excist no negatives and no one had them from school days.

6:50 am

herinfernallady

I think her parents tossed them due to some very drunken pics.

6:50 am

Trifioso

how can no other school mates have photos from the old days?

6:51 am

periwinkle

morning all.

6:51 am

periwinkle

I wanted a bigger grid today :(

6:52 am

herinfernallady

HI Peri

6:52 am

herinfernallady

Trifs she doesn't have contact with them.

6:52 am

Trifioso

yes, peri, the grids do all seem to be from liliput this week.

6:53 am

Trifioso

But she could contact them, herin, or at least the school, and take digital copies, if it was important enough to her. i guess what I am saying is that she has a decision to make - she can rail and scream and mourn what is lost, or she can take steps to replace what she can, and yes, mourn the loss of what is left, but at least be proactive to fix it.

6:54 am

crosshair

well put trif

6:57 am

crosshair

due to several disaters growing up 95% of our families (early years) photos are gone.its amazing how many were in the hands of aunts and uncles and various other relatives and friends overseas and here.after15 years ive managesd to recover almost 50% from what i recall of the albums in my youth

6:57 am

Trifioso

are all the o words oa's?

6:58 am

littlebit

yes trif

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Unfortunatly for her she is not in contact and these aren't school photos. They are personal photos taken from camps. Back in the days when only the rich kids had camaras

6:58 am

Trifioso

well done crossy! it's not as good as having them all, of course, but it is better than having none. Many years ago I found a box of photos of school mates of my grandfather, long deceased. I put a notice in the paper with the names of the boys, and I ended up sending some out to VERY grateful families

7:00 am

Trifioso

one of the women who wrote was so funny! the photo I had turned out to be of her dad, whom she had always known as a bald man. The photo I had of him was from the 1920s, and he had this big ol' oiled up pompadour thing.....she was delighted!

7:00 am

crosshair

lol!

7:01 am

Trifioso

crossy, did you read the Harry Potter series?

7:01 am

crosshair

i recently had a pic of my grampa sent over from the U.K..same as your pic trif.up till then i had never seen a pic of my granfather with hair lol

7:01 am

crosshair

ni,the wife just keeps re-reading it.wont let me near it lol

7:02 am

Trifioso

ah.

7:02 am

crosshair

ill be getting my own e-book reader this year and can just download a second copy:)

7:03 am

Trifioso

ooooooo sneaky!

7:05 am

crosshair

the only way to fly,the mrs has almost 200 books on hers so she is good to go for the rest of the year;)

7:05 am

Trifioso

where do you stand on downloading free books - pirating, as it were?

7:06 am

crosshair

i buy books from the sony site,and there are many free domain sites for open books

7:06 am

crosshair

gutenburg.com

7:06 am

crosshair

is just one

7:07 am

Trifioso

I was having this discussion with someone the other day....he downloads books from whereever he can get them, always unpaid. his point is that if he could get the book free from a library, and no one would mind, why shouldn't he be able to "pirate" it.

7:07 am

crosshair

i chose the middle ground trif

7:08 am

crosshair

any book over 50 years old becomes open for the public to download

7:08 am

herinfernallady

Cross there is a new kindle out is that any good?

7:08 am

Trifioso

I am not sure where I stand. Love the library, myself, and never thought of it as denying an author anything....but after speaking with him long enough, started to feel guilty about library use! then I figured the environmental impact was enough to merit the library

7:08 am

Trifioso

and I am too broke to buy that many books, so the library it is!

7:08 am

crosshair

if you live in the states,it is fine

7:09 am

crosshair

because of my wifes vision problems i bought the sony reader and pay for new material and the ones whose copyright has run out i can load for free

7:10 am

Trifioso

how much of the internet is available to your wife, with her vision issues?

7:12 am

crosshair

authors stand to make more money by the issue of properly purchaced e-books than they ever did by paper books.with the many handicap settings in windows she can manage from 2 feet away

7:13 am

Trifioso

excellent, crossy! another interesting convo I heard the other day -- on NPR or summat. Talking about how the net has fundamentally changed deaf people's life, but has pretty much left the visually impaired out in the cold.

7:15 am

crosshair

there are programs out there now trif..i have a speech to type program in for the mrs,and windows can also speak back any typed line of text

7:16 am

Trifioso

good to know! :)

7:16 am

crosshair

so a properly set up computer can be beneficial to the blind as well

7:16 am

Trifioso

wait, so your computer will read, say, a wikipedia article, or news feed back to your mrs.?

7:17 am

crosshair

yes indeed

7:17 am

Trifioso

that is so cool! does she have to highlight it first, or will it just crack on and read it?

7:18 am

crosshair

but i have to set it up ahead of time,ive yet to sync the speech to type program directly with the url box

7:18 am

Trifioso

you are SO getting my vote for "Hubs of the year!"

7:19 am

crosshair

so with her limited vision it works well,she can see enough to type in urls,hilight the first paragraph,then it will read back the entire text

7:19 am

crosshair

aww shucks;))

7:20 am

crosshair

you can see many of theese usefull settings under start/control panel/ease of acess

7:20 am

Trifioso

btw, my previous nominee was also married to a visually impaired woman, who had lost all her sight due to diabetes. she had been a quilter, so her husband spent HOURS cutting out fabric shapes for her, helping arrange them so she could piece them, and THEN he cut out pieces of moleskin for her to place on the pieced quilttops and hand quilt around. THAT, my friends, is true, true love.

7:21 am

crosshair

he gets my vote as well

7:21 am

herinfernallady

woot Dirty Harry is on tv and i just squeeked

7:21 am

Trifioso

LOL herin!

They both get my vote..and Hello everyone!

7:22 am

2:30 pm

lbdawger

clue for the sa7, plz?

2:30 pm

stidmama

the biggest benefit is it gave the other person the chance to work on his own issues and see how being a male can be intimidating. It also gave me a chance to work on my issues and permission to express some confusion over conventions with which I am not familiar.

the ideas of how men express themselves in conversation and when working in groups. As the only woman in that group of 4, I spoke and acted the same way I would with other women -- which the men couldn't understand and were upset by.

2:35 pm

I think you'll find some men, especially those who are not comfortable with women, will come across as being asses. intimidation is their means of being in control of themselves as well as the situation.

2:35 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

2:35 pm

stidmama

hey tor!!! ((hugs))

2:35 pm

lbdawger

TORGIEE!!

2:36 pm

stidmama

yes, and there are some women who are just as bad. My problem seems to be that I am surprisingly unshy about expressing opinions and needs, while the stereotypical woman just keeps quiet and does her best...

2:37 pm

lbdawger

I didn't find this true until I started working on my piled higher and deeper degree. Some of the males were more intimidated by me than I was of them, and they pretty much let me know that I was suppose to be submissive.

2:37 pm

lbdawger

Yup, Stiddy. and I think that's especially true in education. sad but true

2:38 pm

stidmama

ah. didn't know you were a "fud" *grin* some of the nicest people I know have spent time in the ivory tower.

2:38 pm

lbdawger

nope, never finished. shy by about 9 credits and the dissertation.

2:39 pm

I never wanted the degree, kinda fell into the classes by a job. decided i needed to work for real money and not for credits.

2:43 pm

hm. did you get him out of jail, or did you have to have your wedding night in the trailer in the yard?

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

he proposed in the lawyers lounge

2:44 pm

stidmama

oaky doaky. so I had an ortho appointment on Monday and they weighed me. I knew I had lost weight because nearly everything I own clothes-wise has gotten too big.

2:45 pm

stidmama

I am now within about ten pounds of "acceptable" and maintainable, and withint 20 of my high school weight!!!

2:45 pm

lbdawger

congrats, Stiddy!

2:45 pm

stidmama

which, considering I was still working off being 50 pounds overweight two years ago feels pretty nice.

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo stiddie!

2:45 pm

crosshair

i think thats the wifes evil plan,lost 20 pounds or so,that way she can go shopping for a whole new wardrobe(

2:45 pm

stidmama

*winks at jmc* of course he did, dear.

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

*thinks fondly of when she was only 50 lbs overweight*

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

he was very sweet and told the judge a couple of months later about it

2:46 pm

lbdawger

i hate shopping for clothes. i'm not a size zero and i prefer to cover my body parts so they aren't exposed at any time!

2:47 pm

stidmama

I am the same way LBD -- turtlenecks and "mom" jeans for me!

2:47 pm

stidmama

although... I don't mind pretty skirts when they are long.

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

my mood about it changes -- sometimes it is fun to buy clothes

2:47 pm

lbdawger

yup, prefer my sweats!

2:48 pm

lbdawger

i don't mind buying clothes for hubz, or the grands, but for myself, i'm too picky and i just don't like it.

2:48 pm

stidmama

I liked sweats a few years ago, but people didn't take me seriously, so I got rid of them. Now building a teacher-appropriate collection of "pants"

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

brb

2:49 pm

stidmama

well, down to 29 and holding. might be time for the list.

2:50 pm

stidmama

yep. first word a fish *sigh* oh well...

2:50 pm

stidmama

I am trying to hold on for the afternoon class. another 25 minutes...

2:51 pm

2:51 pm

stidmama

go jmc go!

2:52 pm

lbdawger

go stid, go jmc!

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

one of the things i like about my job is I wear jeans everyday -- even at a lot of the talks

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

I have my dress t-shirts from Guatemala

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

go stiddie go

2:52 pm

stidmama

sounds comfortable, jmc. I will probably wear jeans a bit when I actually teach-teach... once I am established in the school that is!

2:53 pm

lbdawger

jeans are okay. i wear those to work daily. with t-shirts, and an overshirt if i have to work the floor. but dressing up...not likely.

2:53 pm

stidmama

*giggle* "dress t-shirts*

2:53 pm

jmcnrick

depends on the school -- some schools still have dress codes

2:54 pm

stidmama

DA 6/30 please?

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

next photo I post (if I ever get a new camera) I will have one on for you stiddie

2:54 pm

stidmama

the rural schools around here are mostly just glad to have teachers...

2:54 pm

lbdawger

also depends on the age group. I think you could probably get away with it with elementary kids, but jr and sr, probably not.

2:54 pm

stidmama

thanks jmc

2:54 pm

lbdawger

stidmama

the two classmates who read my paper liked it and had good suggestions.

7:55 pm

lbdawger

your hip bothering you, or the class?

7:55 pm

Nef

not comfortable? How come?

7:56 pm

stidmama

I have been sick for a bout three days. tummy trouble. I think I'm either really hungry (possible) or I ate something I am allergic to. Again.

hey pini. I survived... *happy mama grin*

8:16 pm

Nef

doing okay. I broke the news earlier that DH's Aunt Jean saw the ortho doc today and she's healed! She went back to her home on Monday.

8:16 pm

Pinikula

yeah to both of you!!!

8:17 pm

stidmama

I am so happy about Aunt Jean. It's no good to have a painful hip.

8:17 pm

Nef

I really enjoyed having her here. I miss her hanging outwithus

8:18 pm

Pinikula

can always invite her back!!!

8:18 pm

Nef

Stid, what is wrong with your hip? I had bursitis at one point and ended up having steriod injections in it and they really helped a lot

8:20 pm

stidmama

the ortho I saw (apparently one of the big names in our area) said he can't tell unless he does arthroscopy. I am reluctant to consider surgery like that (possible 3 months to full recovery) while I am in school. so am going to talk to my regular doc and ask if there are other things to consider before I opt for surgery. could be an inflammatory process though, bursitis or rheumatis'

8:20 pm

Nef

Oh, Pini, don't worry. We see her a lot; but it was kind of fun lounging around in our robes and playing games (like Babble)

8:21 pm

Pinikula

could always ask her to just move in and rent a room from ya, Nef! :)

8:21 pm

Nef

LOL, Pini! I wouldn't charge her!

8:22 pm
