i saw this video yesterday about how japanese children are allowed to do a lot more on their own at younger ages than, say, american kids. like running errands. and it said you basically have to think of japanese kids as all being mini ni5s
12:29 pm
hurshy
kinda made me wish i were japanese lol
12:29 pm
hokie carla
well american children used to do that all the time. I didn't live where it was possible but I've heard stories of parents sending their kids to the store with money & a note to buy cigarettes.
12:29 pm
ch1212
there is a tv show in Japanese where a cameraman follows a toddler (ages 3 to 4 usually) as they embark on their first solo errand for mom. It's really amazing.
12:30 pm
ch1212
They always show the route on a street map, and often it's several blocks and turns away from their home.
12:31 pm
hurshy
yeah and i've read also about some kids in some cultures being allowed to make and tend cooking fires and stuff
12:31 pm
hurshy
at quite a young age
12:31 pm

12:31 pm

12:48 pm
hurshy

12:48 pm
hurshy
you're not missing an 8
12:49 pm
hokie carla
all IN: 5, 6, 6, 6, 7. my last one was very regular.
12:49 pm
hurshy
so i thought maybe since we both need four P and i just also need one i, that maybe that was the 8, but i guess we just miss different P and you have a p8 that i do not have
12:49 pm
hurshy
i have one pi8 already
12:49 pm
hurshy

12:54 pm
hurshy
when i was a toddler i had a story/song record about Tina the Ballerina that i listened to A LOT
12:54 pm
hokie carla
I had a doll that you pushed a crown or tiara and she would kick her leg up. she had on those shoes and a tutu with leotard. I was so upset that the batteries leaked onto her leo.
12:55 pm
hurshy
oh dear, battery acid does not go well with ballet
12:55 pm
hokie carla

12:58 pm
hurshy
ever since you said that i just have been so amused by thinking of it as a purposeful activity, like hot yoga
3:49 pm
hokie carla
well, it finally stopped raining this morning after days of rain and 60s temps, so it is 79 now and I did sweat a little. but not really hot golf.

4:17 pm
periwinkle

hokie carla

4:18 pm
periwinkle
missing one pi7 and 2 pe7
4:18 pm
periwinkle
20 left but quitting soon. sure do miss lickety
4:19 pm
periwinkle
or miss babble expert
4:32 pm
hokie carla
but you're using lickety's list?
4:32 pm
hokie carla
20 is very doable with the list
4:38 pm
MollyL
I don't understand why copying, pasting and using the list seems so difficult for some.
4:39 pm
hokie carla
I don't understand how expert is any easier. it's just doing those steps for you as I understand it.
4:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
lots of things that are easy for some are harder for others. Take for example Spelling and Algebra.
4:51 pm
hokie carla
I agree with that but this is like 6 or half dozen
4:59 pm
MollyL
I was a little stunned when I found out that people who have been playing here...as in using computers for 20 years...don't know how to copy and paste
5:34 pm
hokie carla
not talking about anyone specifically, but I think people forgot how they used to play BE (before expert)
5:38 pm
MollyL
I think before Expert it was all about those long lists of "words that start with" like there are at the flip when Lickety is down
6:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I haven't used the list for a long time and would probably have to remember how to use it. Why make people feel bad about it? I cannot use any kind of can opener- the new ones, the electric ones or the old fashioned ones. We all have our deep dark failings.
6:43 pm
PastorJ
Also, some of us lose abilities with aging. As Kaplan says, why make people feel bad?
6:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We gain other abilities--like the ability to repeat long stories that we find endlessly amusing.
7:31 pm
rururocks
and read books again for the first time
9:02 pm
hokie carla
sorry, not trying to make people feel bad. I tried being encouraging for peri to finish, telling her 20 words isn't bad with the list.
9:02 pm

Good evening, Babblers. :)

Nothing discouraging about that Hokie. On brainfart days I actually like to be reminded that the words do exist there somewhere!
