To be honest, I went to Microsoft Word, typed in I'll have a wheat beer please and translated it to German.

You know, my cousin kept her name, just had her first and they gave him her last name.
Just a thought there. It's traditions as get in the way of continuity of nomenclature, pick a new one if the one you've got gets broke.

BTW, your sentence basically says "I eat a ****"

The way to order something in German is:

"Ich mochte *****(ein heifeweisen, ein bier, brot und kasse, whatever), bitte."

Or so my professor taught us.
You still did better than "I'm a jelly donut"!

I do know that essen is eat, but I honestly didn't care to proof read the sentence. My grammar was never a strong point and I have not really even tried to speak German since January of 1986 when I stopped being stationed there. I would like to thank you for the grammar lesson though.

Jimi beer is the only kind I'm willing to drink:)Though I still prefer a nice martini or margarita:)

What she said!!

Hey twin brother *glomps Kelkhil

* - who's responsible for the iminent arrival of a USA nephew for me!!!

I love it!!!

Hello dearest Bryce!!!

I miss you tonnes!! How are you??? How are my boys - the big one and the little two? Who am I? "Oh!! Hello!! There you are!! I was very quiet..." "I love you, will you marry me?" Ooooh - how are your kittens going - is your departed Black cat giving them mousing lessons? (did I tell you the black cat can walk on the ceiling now... he gave me a fright one day until I realised who it was...) Don't worry everyone - My twin-sister-from-a-previous-life understands me perfectly!!

Hey there Phoebe!! It's so good to see you hereabouts!

Oh I know there's heaps of folk I haven't seen in ages - but I prematurely posted and now I will have to go through the list to see who's about!

And I will have that margarita if it's going!!

EDIT: Hello Stinking Rose!! How are you darling??!!

Did I tell you I found Bindies to go with my Sari??

Hi there Gorramn Groupie! How's life??

Hello Rallem - I don't think we've met but I love that there are always new folk in here when I get a chance to pop in from time to time - what are you drinking?

Hello Zero - thanks for the emails a couple of weeks ago - I have had barely any time for onlininess!

*hugs her shy HK* How are you ninja kitty?

*peers up the thread...* Is that...? Could it be...? *eyes light up in delight!* Mavourneen!!! How are you sweetie?? How's my dear boy? How's your husband (whom you shall never leave me alone with...) how are the cats? That stinky one misses me - doesn't she?

Rallem, any time you kneed a pushy know-it-all b*tch I'm yer gal!

You were sprechin' Deutch while I was still studying French in high school.

I may not remember much from college German but, dammit, I can still theoretically order in a restaurant politely!
I gots mad survivul skillz!

It's always fun to run a sentence through an online translator in a language you know, then read what you get, then run that back through to English.
Of course I do have a strange idea of "fun".

Helloooo Maaaagdaaaa! Yay for bindis! Consider yourself well and thoroughly glomped. Upside down.

It's snowing here. I'd send you some to keep you cool at Christmas, but it would melt.
Wait, if I put it in a bottle and then it melted the stamps wouldn't fall off the envelope! Then you could refreeze it, get it out of the bottle somehow, and then put it in your blender to make it all snowy again!
Or you could just order a frozen slushy foofy drink on New Years Eve and think of me fondly...

HUGS HK...well if your sense of humor is off while at work, it's probably because the soul sucking leeches are still active.. I really think we should consider poisoning one as a warning to the others of the herd ( or gaggle or whatever a large bunch of parasitic, worm like, blood sucking, evil creatures is called)

HUGS LA:) gearing up for the festivities??

HUGS Magda and jumps about... squeeee

HUGS Rosie... hey gorgeous...need a stuffing recipe that involves chestnuts...you don't happen to have one do you??

HUGS Kelkhil... aw sweety so cool!!! Give Laurelin a big hug too ok.

only two days to teach this week and then...freedom!!!

I'll check on the chestnuts, I'm pretty sure I've got one that involves them, wild rice, mushrooms, and cranberries...

Clew. Good word. I was going to suggest squidge or perhaps slime.

Made an alteration to a lovely sounding beverage recipe that wound up being quite nice.

(all measurements are approximate)
Peel of 1 clementine
1/4C brown sugar
1" sliver of candied ginger
1/2C sugar
1C dark rum (80 proof)
1/4C Bacardi 151
4C sweet cider

Warm sweet cider
Warm other ingredients together until sugars have dissolved.
Light rum mixture. Carefully.
Slowly pour in cider until either the flames have gone out or you've added all the cider. Once it is no longer alight, serve and enjoy. Do not attempt to perform any tasks requiring coordination.

...Hot rum & cider would be a good way to spend a winter...

Maybe not.
We got snow this morning. It was just a dusting, but I hope that means that we'll get some snow to play in this winter. Boise is not known for tremendous amounts of snow. Utah gets it all.

....owowowowow....

It's embarrassing getting your butt kicked by a room full of people who barely come past your bellybutton. I was son's "buddy" at karate tonight. Man am I a creaky stiff old bag of goo.
I am going to be feeling it tomorrow.
I can't even use the defense that I slipped in mud and wrenched my knee this morning because that wasn't even part of the problem.
Sigh.

So: recipes!
Wild Rice, Cranberry, and Mushroom stuffing (from Wisconsin)

Yield 6 servings

2/3C wild rice
2 2/3C water
Salt to taste
1 1/2C finely chopped mushrooms
1/2C chopped onion
3Tbsp butter
1/4tsp salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1C chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3C currants or raisins (optional)
(can also use as stuffing for double-thick pork chops, chicken, or turkey)
Rinse rice; drain. Bring rice, water and salt to taste to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat. Simmer, loosely covered, for 45 to 60 minutes o until rice is tender and most of liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, drain.

Saute mushrooms and onion in butter in skillet for 10minutes or until mushrooms and onion are tender. Stir in 1/4tsp salt, pepper, cranberries, currants, and rice.
Preheat oven to 350F. Spoon stuffing into baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

Bread Stuffing with chestnuts and dried fruit (about 12 cups)
Use shelled and roasted fresh chestnuts, or canned or frozen if desired; do not use chestnuts packed in syrup, which are too sweet for this dish.

Prepare basic bread stuffing (Joy of Cooking 1997ed, p482)adding 1 1/2C coarsely chopped chestnuts and 1/2C dried fruit such ast raisins, cranberries, cherries or diced prunes, when tossing the bread with the seasonings.

I'm presuming you can use your own favorite bread stuffing recipe without too much trauma.

I'd probably suggest throwing chestnuts into the wild rice recipe, as I think that would go quite nicely together!

Hi everyone (wish I had time to glomp everyone individually but as usual I am late! Mass glomp will have to do)!

Looking back at what's been going on I have to say congrats on the shiney news Kelkhil! I shall get started knitting another ickle Jayne hat!

Justgrabbed 5 mins over lunch to search for jobs as I'm very fed up with mine (not sure if I hate teaching or just teaching here. Either way, at present I am not having a fun life at all!)
Seen a couple of fun positions doing conservation in Africa! Might apply for those this weekend. One of them pays a whopping £1.5K a year!

Sounds like HK's job is a bit sucky at present. Could I tempt her and anyone else here to run away to Africa with me?!

HUGS and thanks ever so much Rosie... I knew you 'd know what to do:)

Em- oh sweety it's where you're teaching I promise. You may want to wander in to other schools on an off day and speak with people who teach there and see how they like it. Then you can get a better idea of the teaching environment you prefer. I loved my old school and am enduring this one right now, but I am so out of here the minute I can get some things settled... a bad administrator can absolutely make things so miserable and make you feel like you hate teaching and everything... HUGS and I am so sorry you got a bad one on your first time out of the gate

But said hiding did not, in fact, have anything to do with your offer. =P

Point of fact, you once helped me hide:

I am not familiar with this definition of "fun" of which you speak.

Um..hey blind woman... we're all with you HUGS HK

Fun- Annie is following my sister around whining about something and her dad tells her to stop it. She turns around and says in an exasperated voice " Can Annie WHINE?"
I love that child... LOL

Fun- One of my students decides to decend from upper level of the school to lower level via the giant posts that support the upper deck. He slides down and lands directly on the principal.

See..fun :)

Ahh, that is the only reason I still have 4 kids, they're too darn cute to kill. Most of the time.
My 2 year old is a dynamo, go go go until he collapses, always making messes, I want to throttle him. Then he goes and does this:
"mommy, i want an apple"
"ok"
"I can have an apple?! Thank you mommy!"
Like us giving him something is the greatest thing that ever happened.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Kids are EVIL!!!!!

Maybe it's just cause of all the babysitting I've been doing, but......Wait......No it's not, kids are just evil.

No, I see.
It's just that, if the wee ones will be tagging along, I'm going to have to bow out and do the child-free run away thing. The whole point was to avoid responsibility. Wee ones represent the need for a whole lot of responsibility. ^^

Ah. Yeah. Here's the difference.
Those may be examples of "funny," but not my definition of "fun." =P

Kids ARE fun! Especially when you take their toys away and hold them off from getting it back by putting the palm of your hand on their forehead!
And it builds character!

I have to agree with HK on this stuff. I love kids...other people's kids who have been raised right. There are several medical reasons why having kids would be STUPID for me. Beyond that...DAMNED I love my sleep!!! You can't get woken up with breakfast in bed and then fall right back into a deep waffle coma if there are small things bouncing around craving attention. So, I spoil my friends' and family's kids...then flee to "adult space"!!!

You get woken up with waffles in bed? I want your life!!!

I am undecided on the 'kids are fun' issue. They have been being particularly beastly to me recently (although to be fair, at ages 15-19 they no longer count as kids and are now technically classified at 'fiends from hell'). But then they do things like asking if it's true you're resigning (my how rumours fly) and please stay as you're the only teacher they like. Aaaah! How sweet! I've taught them how to suck up to authority! Guess the last year hasn't been completely wasted!

Happy Turkey Day to all my US friends. Hope it was fun and not a day of family bickering.

...Well, can't say I'm stuffing myself on turkey and all the trimmings (yet), but have been enjoying the time to actually do nothing. *gasp*

For the answer to your question "is it the job, or is it the workplace?" I'd say to see if it's the workplace first. (But then again, MsB and I are prejudiced that way )

Zero: I agree, if you're talking about college games...Blue should go...home after GREEN sends 'em home WAC-ed down to second

I'm with PheobeRosetta and HK on the escaping without kids...(and I work with them..) I'm sure that once I have my own, I'll be much more in the "with kids" camp on the "run away plan."

Thanks for the advice Neko, I shall try looking at other colleges. What I would really like is to teach at Uni level only, where they (at least theoretically) want to be there!

Anyone else emerged from the holiday coma yet?!

Not so much holiday coma as work overload, taking a mo to say hi all.

Wish I was more awake, moaning Emma asked for and moaning she shall get for apart from work being se I am off my drugs for more tests on Monday-Tuesday so been feeling nauseous since Monday and out at a gig tonight that I really don't feel like attending but it is a celebration night for two work mate's birthdays so I shall do my duty. Then in the morning I have to be up early and get a coat of paint on a kitchen wall before the old man arrives and we can discuss finishing of walls as men.

Only thing I can cheers myself up is my flash new mechanical pencil has arrived and my new fountain pen is on the way. Anyone would think I was starting the preparation material for my maths course

Anyway, must get on.

I'm sorry you're still not feeling well Gee. I've got a horrible cough that I can't seem to shift but that's nothing to your problems.

I'm off on a 4 hour drive to a friend's party now. Hope I don't fall asleep as I was marking till 2am last night. Taking 50 assignments with me to mark whilst my friends are having fun and getting drunk. **grumblegrumblebloddystudentsgrumble.....**

Thanks gorramgroupie. Let me sweep up a little *puts on face mask for the dust* and make sure that the room has been vaccumed up before I re-load the room for anyone else.

*cleans out the breakables room* Ummmm...Kel? You might want to re-order a new set of shelves or something for all the breakables. *blush* *mutters* Ikindasortapulverizedthewholeroom, sorry. *places the breakables in the room for the next person*

Thanks guys...and right now, no. I'm working on restoring my calm, or achieving River's prayer for becoming stone.

I'm not really ready to talk about the whole situation, but I've already wasted enough time and energy on this verbally and emotionally abusive, passive-aggresive, self-righteous...(you get the point) loser, that I really can't ask anyone to waste the time on this fool.
