6:33 am

Anniebrook

Une, is there a law being debated in Tenn. re: abortions. Plublishing the names and addresses of all involved?

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

oh, jeez, let me go look -- I DO know they're bringing back to the legislature all the crap about evolution and creationism . . . AACCCKK

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

oh, there it is in Huffington Post . . .

6:39 am

<---Proud to be an Independent

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

OMG they're calling it the "Life Defense Act"

6:41 am

Uneaixoise

The House Health and Human Resources Committee is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, and Odom said he expects it to pass in the GOP-dominated House. It will then move to the state Senate, where Republicans are also in the majority.

6:41 am

MollyL

*Throws up red flag* Abortion is probably not the best topic to get into here.

6:41 am

Anniebrook

They can't deal with the economy, world affairs so, again, it is women. If men could get pregnant abortion would be sancrosanct.

6:42 am

Anniebrook

*sees Molly's red flag* and agrees. shutting up.

6:42 am

Uneaixoise

molly, we're not debating abortions -- talking about right to privacy for women and their health providers

6:43 am

Uneaixoise

ok . . . won't pursue

6:44 am

Uneaixoise

just one more thing . . . remember, this is the state that's been expanding the rights of citizens to carry guns pretty much ANYWHERE

6:44 am

Anniebrook

*aside to Une* What next, dear?

6:44 am

MollyL

I understand Une. It's just a "hot button" topic on most discussion boards and usually ends up causing a huge ruckus.

6:44 am

Uneaixoise

ok, off my pedestal . . . BBL *poof*

6:45 am

MollyL

Wow, even trying to keep the peace offends.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I dont think she was offended.

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

In the classic movie-musical, The Wizard of Oz, the many-hued Horse of a Different Color that leads Dorothy and gang through the Emerald City wasn't actually painted. Instead, animal rights activists advocated that the white horse be sponged with different flavors (and colors) of gelatin and then physically restrained from licking it off.

yup,with lickety gone,no sense listing till you come to a grinding halt as close to the finish as possible

8:20 am

Okay, I'm taking a poll. Has this ever happened in your school district: Today they delayed school openings because of...fog.

8:20 am

crosshair

of fog??..err no

8:20 am

crosshair

maybe our U.K friends perhaps

8:21 am

Judi

I have never heard of this in my life (except in a Steven King novel).

8:22 am

crosshair

probably delayed cause they want those photo ops nice and crisp and clear if it is a new school opening..need to see the mayors pearly whites as he cuts that ribbon

8:22 am

Judi

No school opening. We're in the middle of the school year here.

8:22 am

phaeton

yes...if it was dense enough our district has delayed school

8:23 am

crosshair

ahh you said school opening and i hazarded a guess

8:23 am

crosshair

you mean the start of the school day ..no,never due to fog

8:24 am

crosshair

due to ice,yes,blizzards yes,whiteouts,yes,floods,yes,power outages yes

8:29 am

Judi

I guess lack of visibility is a potential hazard. However, that's one of the reasons they make those school buses BIG and YELLOW. Much the same color as our grid.

8:31 am

crosshair

lol,this grid should of had one of those stop signs pop out in front just like the bus

8:33 am

Judi

Well, I'm still inclined to think it falls under the category of the "general marshmallowing of society".

cannabis from Columbia??? good grief! Enable won't allow "online" or "tatsoi" but it goes for drug slang??? What a weird dictionary. I love this game.

11:16 am

It's an L of a word

11:17 am

MollyL

Enable allows drug slang, derogatory racial slang and acronyms. It's not a very good word list/dictionary.

11:18 am

It also predates the use of computers, so it never heard of things like online, reboot, etc.

I would like to know who is the lazy so and so who refuses to update Enable.

Updating a dictionary is probably not a simple matter

it has been an awful winter, seaspray, but I'm sure everybody is tired of my whining

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

I'll just say that we lost our lovely Max

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

and got a new and brilliant chow chow, Ruffino

12:20 pm

SeaSpray

Oh no, I am so sorry, we have had our ups and downs as well. I am so sorry to hear about Max, I know how heartbreaking that is. Awww, a new pup. That is wonderful.

12:22 pm

SeaSpray

What color is ruffino?

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

he is fluffy beige with a black face, but since this is puppy wool, it is hard to know if he will darken

12:23 pm

kje

FW!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

he's very handsome and has totalled all my spring bulbs but as soodle said, "Pish on the flowers, they'll come up next year@

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

yay kje

12:24 pm

SeaSpray

He sounds beautiful.

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

he'll probably be shaded blonde like Ruby

12:24 pm

SeaSpray

lol about the flowers

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

<-- is a proud dog mama

12:25 pm

kje

chow pups are so adorable - all fluff

12:25 pm

SeaSpray

I have a new grandson Ruby. He is one month old.

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

the fur texture is so different from the adults

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

and he's perfectly square

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

the only one who doesn't like him is Ruby and when she snarls at him and whines, he gets directly in her face and barks

12:28 pm

SeaSpray

Is your husband doing well?

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

no, he is fading

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

I've asked his daughter to come

12:29 pm

kje

ruby will warm up - she is just in shock right now that she has to deal with this young thing at her age.... and it didn't even come from her ; )

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

I hope you're right, kje. I think she's still grieving for Max

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I think the noises she makes are probably what a mother dog would say

12:31 pm

kje

like - stop it and calm down!

12:31 pm

SeaSpray

So sorry to hear about your husband...is his daughter on her way?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

exactly, kje

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

she looks like she'll bite him, but doesn't

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

and husband's daughter will be here in late May, I think

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

he's only 3 months old but his picture is next to feisty in the dictionary

12:33 pm

kje

hugs, ruby... tough time, but you are a strong woman

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

today I found an injured green finch in front of the house and when I walked over to it, Rufie got it in his mouth. I extracted the bird and held him and stroked his chest for about 15 minutes and finally he flew away

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

(not Rufie, the finch)

I like ch7. I bet you don't all know what that is!

12:42 pm

bichon

Yes, you eat it at Pesach

12:43 pm

HarryHood

it's stew from a crockpot :)

12:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, you eat it every week.

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

ty ladies, I wouldn't have thought of that

12:43 pm

MollyL

I bet I do

12:43 pm

HarryHood

no good for pesach - it has beans!

12:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's good if you're Sephardic.

12:43 pm

bichon

beans are no good at Pesach? What do vegans do?

12:44 pm

HarryHood

with a name like kaplan, that's doubtful....especially hyman :)

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

why are beans out for Passover?

12:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sephardics eat rice and beans on Pesach.

12:44 pm

HarryHood

vegans eat lots of cashews, and gain lots of weight

12:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Some traditions don't allow legumes.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

didn't know that

12:44 pm

HarryHood

quinoa is the subject of great debate

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

isn't it a vegetable?

12:45 pm

bichon

Oy vey, glad I'm not religious

12:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is very arcane. Some argue that the prohibition against legumes on Passover is due to a misreading of the text.

12:46 pm

HarryHood

yeah the whole thing is kind of silly, but silly traditions are the basis of religion, aren't they

12:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you were religious, you probably wouldn't be vegan.

12:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not that there is anything anti-religious about veganism per se...

12:46 pm

bichon

Why Kaplan?

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

there's a big brouhaha going on now in France that in Paris, all the meat is halal

12:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's just that the groups don't usually intersect.

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

and now these 3 hate crimes! oy vey, whatever that means.....

12:47 pm

bichon

Some people are vegan for health reasons. Surely that must include some religious Jews

12:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do people all know about the murders in the school at Toulouse?

12:47 pm

HarryHood

I know plenty of observant vegans

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

my sister called from NY to talk about them, said they were a headline in the NYT today

12:48 pm

HarryHood

some have relinquished the ashkenazic tradition and taken to eating legumes on passover

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

kaplan, you saw that the same killer murdered 3 paratroopers (2 Arab, 1 black) in Montauban

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

near Toulouse

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am one of those, Harry, because I am a vegetarian, and survive for 8 days on eggs and potatoes

12:49 pm

bichon

How do they know it was the same killer ruby?

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I did.

12:49 pm

HarryHood

I'm vegetarian too ! but I'm fine with eggs and cheese

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

same weapon and motorcycle and close by

12:49 pm

HarryHood

lack of tofu hurts though

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Same m.o. Shot from a motorcycle.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

and an attempted murder on another trooper

12:50 pm

HarryHood

same gun as well

12:50 pm

bichon

Isn't tofu from a bean? Soy bean

12:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did they catch him?

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

not yet

12:50 pm

HarryHood

yes - so no tofu on passover

12:50 pm

bichon

I could live on matzah and soft boiled eggs or matzah brei

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

me, too

12:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Passover is hard for me because of the restrictions, and my lack of fondness for matsoh brei.

12:51 pm

HarryHood

as long as you have some prunes with that, bichon

12:51 pm

HarryHood

if you know what I mean

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

hahah and true, harry

12:51 pm

bichon

no problemo Harry

12:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, I do know.

12:51 pm

bichon

Prunes are good for you. Hi is anti-oxidants

12:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why can't they catch the killer?

12:52 pm

HarryHood

I make sure the kids eat lots of pears and melon on passover

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

I've taught myself to make Hamantaschen (no idea how to spell it) using Fr puff pastry from the supermarket

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

and prunes from Agen

12:52 pm

bichon

Half the fun is making your own dough ruby

12:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I came home from work because the weird spacy feeling I have had since last week accompanying my chest cold has made it nearly impossible to sit with clients

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

easy for you to say, bichon

12:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I feel so bizarre.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

I used to make bread and all kinds of baked stuff -- too old and tired for that now

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

that was my rationale for having granite counters....

12:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm going to watch Days and go to bed. It is like 75 degrees in March and I am really disoriented.

12:54 pm

You're never too old to bake bread. That's why they have bread machines

12:54 pm

HarryHood

babysitter's leaving....gotta go! bbl.

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

if husband would eat baked goods, I'd make them, but if I make baked things, they're just for me

12:55 pm

MollyL

I agree about bread machines. And Ruby, you can make small loaves of bread and freeze them.

12:55 pm

crosshair

mmm fresh baked bread....

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

that's a good idea

12:56 pm

bichon

I wouldn't mind making bread just for me. And, I make my pizza dough in it. Saves lots of time

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

and, of course, the secret fresh bread ingredient is Bridgeford's frozen dough

12:56 pm

crosshair

I always hope that people who have given up eating things they like because their spouse doesn't like them will reconsider. Why deprive yourself?

4:31 pm

dcseain

the Northern White Oaks are in bloom here, as are the redbuds, the maples, the cherries, the crabapples, and more. The pines pollenated last month. Been crazy.

in fact, global warming was invented by bored Babblers; that's what I heard

4:34 pm

Glantarell

absolutely ;-)

4:34 pm

crosshair

glant,here in the north,we have seen the effects of global warming for over 2 years now.this year it is really accelerated!

4:34 pm

viajes

what city, crosshair? I'm in Minnesota (so, almost Canada)

4:34 pm

dcseain

though global warming is technically accurate, global weirdening is a more accurate description of weather patterns

4:35 pm

bichon

how about nu 6/24?

4:35 pm

Glantarell

crossy, I have been conviced about climate change for at least the last 15 years - the acceleration may be enough for some people to start taking the issue seriously, but I fear we may be too late

4:35 pm

viajes

oooh, I want to use that. I usually say climate change, but global weirdening is so much better

4:35 pm

... started seeing in 1966-1967 ... I hated my mother playing Bing Crosby singing white Christmas ... I used to watch for the date of the first snow ... ... it was getting about a day later each year ... about 1966 ... the first snow was Christmas day

4:37 pm

when you said small pecan, do you mean a variety f pecan that has small trees/nuts, or a dofferent nut altogether???

4:38 pm

I blame my 'bah humbug' tendencies on oiverkill on christmas songs when i was a child

4:39 pm

it is dc temp records are being broken every day so far in march for this area

4:39 pm

On the flip side, don't you break records for cold temperatures in a normal winter?

4:40 pm

... that's two months ahead of schedule

4:40 pm

crosshair

last year dc,we had 7 feet of snow fall by dec 1th

4:40 pm

dcseain

this year, it was so warm we were mowing grass at xmas, and the ticks and moths did not die through the winter

4:40 pm

viajes

the fear is that all the plants are poking their heads out in the warmth and then the cold will come back and kill them all

4:40 pm

hurshy

ugh

4:41 pm

crosshair

no molly,this winter was nothing

4:41 pm

MollyL

No, I said in a "normal winter"

4:41 pm

ah, g=finally got the pecan thing - could be a generic term

4:41 pm

we only dipped below minus 20 a few times..nothing

4:41 pm

oh no, dc! killing ticks is the best part of winter!

4:41 pm

Glantarell

and i was thinking specidically pecans

4:41 pm

dcseain

i may go into town and see cherry blossoms tonight. DC set the festival way early, and the blossoms coincided with the festival, mich to the US Park Service's surprise.

i'm not minding it, though it's weird things greening a month early.

4:44 pm

crosshair

it is nice,but too many other things are knocked out of kilter molly

4:44 pm

dcseain

i worry that pollinators may not be out at the right time for the flowers, for example.

4:45 pm

MollyL

I can see how that would be so for a normally cold weather climate area, but around here, it doesn't affect much.

4:45 pm

it's creepy! I hate Minnesota winters, and I am loving this weather, but it feels like a horror movie.

4:45 pm

i have seen bees here - about a month ago

4:45 pm

Glantarell

and some flies at the weekend

4:45 pm

crosshair

that is one example dc,our sugar maples were caught off guard as well,you will not be gatting much syrup from us

4:45 pm

MollyL

*Passes around a fresh set of worry stones*

4:45 pm

dcseain

yes, bees are out here, as are wasps

4:46 pm

bichon

If the leaves come out and we have a snowstorm in April, we could have a repeat of last October

4:46 pm

crosshair

in already warmer climes,the alterations are less noticible

4:46 pm

dcseain

not to mention, likely wasn't cold enough for good syrup production anywhere in Canada or the US this year.

4:46 pm

Glantarell

hardly saw a wsp last summer

4:46 pm

uusue2

we are continuing to set temperature records - if March continues as predicted, it would shatter all temperature records, and would even be unusually warm for April (that is, if we were having temperatures like this a month later it would still be unusually warm)

4:46 pm

crosshair

but think on this,wait till 120 is the norm for your summers...

4:46 pm

and we become the new florida

4:46 pm

I like the warm weather, although it is almost too hot (83F here now)!

4:47 pm

does florida become the new panama? or africa?

Do you think the 80 degree weather brought out the voters?

7:03 pm

cosdem

Probably because everyone is preparing for the end of the world.

Kaplan the Magne

Now I'm wondering if a therapist having a home surveillance system is a breach of patient/client relationship.

7:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just because they can watch all the nutty people on their little monitors?

7:25 pm

herinfernallady

not if the patient is aware of said equipment and it is in public areas like the consulting room and not a bathroom

7:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Is that a camera?" (pointing to my pen.)

7:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Anyone know a good podiatrist?

7:26 pm

The idea of a camera in the bathroom makes me oogie.

7:26 pm

(deft change of topic)

7:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I need a specialist.

7:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just think it is charming that we have the word clutzy laid out so nicely in the grid and it isn't even a word.

7:29 pm

Well, I am going to trundle off to my bedroom, open the windows and listen to REM.
