3:11 am
rubyfoo
I'll look with you. don't have anything bigger than a 6 so far
3:12 am
kje
extends the di4 food plan to an adj
3:13 am
rubyfoo

3:14 am
rubyfoo
got it! ty
3:16 am
cool.girl

3:16 am
rubyfoo
almost cold at the end
3:16 am
kje
pertaining to the di4
3:17 am
kje
rhymes with someone with high blood sugar
3:18 am
rubyfoo
great clue, kje
3:19 am
cool.girl
does anyone have the 9s yet
3:20 am
kje
pertains to beauty
3:20 am
rubyfoo
ooo, ty ty
3:20 am
kje
change the form of the word to an 8 also ruby
3:21 am
rubyfoo
found that one right away but still no 7's -- brain is very slow this AM
3:22 am
kje
da7 - plural of da6 bad guys
3:24 am
kje
da6 is variant of one of satan's minions
3:24 am
kje
ok, just got the other 9, it is a doozy, let me think how to clue it
3:24 am
kje
starts with mo5 python
3:25 am
kje
then ends in a prefix meaning stone minus the l
3:25 am
kje
that is an mo8, then plural for the 9
3:25 am
kje
sorry, suffix not prefix
3:26 am
vanillaslice
sounds like monday's food choppers lol
3:26 am
rubyfoo
hello vanilla
3:26 am
vanillaslice
hi ruby and all just finishing... I hope
3:27 am
rubyfoo
at least I have half
3:27 am
kje
here is the definitions: a large punch bowl, usually of silver, having a notched rim for suspending punch cups.
2.
Also called bonnet glass. a small stemless glass of the 18th century, having a bowl with a compoundly curved profile upon a broad foot.
3:27 am
kje
I use the word everyday
3:28 am
rubyfoo
only when you give a big party....
3:28 am
vanillaslice
like so many words here are everyday lingo
3:28 am
kje
I party every day
3:29 am
vanillaslice
funny how when I monkey words its not a word but they come up with the weirdest
3:29 am
rubyfoo
the word sounds very Upstairs Downstairs
3:32 am
vanillaslice
like sa5 meaningbelonging to or consisting of those branches of the Indo-European family in which alveolar or palatal fricatives, as the sounds (s) or (sh), developed in ancient times from Proto-Indo-European palatal stops: the satem branches are Indo-Iranian, Armenian, Slavic, Baltic, and Albanian.
3:33 am
rubyfoo
oh, ty, vanilla, I'll try to work that into my next dinner party (using the mo8, of course)
3:33 am
kje
I use that one every day too.... are you not literate?
3:33 am
vanillaslice
I like the palatal fricatives
3:34 am
kje
the word fricative is fun!
3:34 am
rubyfoo
the sa5 gave me the ta5
3:37 am
vanillaslice
so coughing would be a fricative
3:39 am
kje
sounds like a sub for cursing
3:40 am
rubyfoo
88 words, nbs, but can't find the right-hand e, which is probably a fish
3:40 am
rubyfoo
I may use a fricative!
3:41 am
kje
like the ae8 and 9 but minus the a
3:41 am
rubyfoo
hit me with a mackerel
3:42 am
rubyfoo
<-- smacked
3:42 am
Aloyisius
h'mm, fish and fricatives are flying.. dare I enter?
3:42 am
vanillaslice
the sound made by clicking with your tongue against your palate would be a palatal fricative...if you do it hard enough coz there has to be friction
3:43 am
rubyfoo
hello aloy
3:43 am
Aloyisius
ooh.. lol, needed that one! ty kje.. hi Babblers
3:43 am
rubyfoo

3:51 am
Aloyisius

someone earlier said there was an mo8/9 any clues out there
12:42 pm
lilliann
apparently he went mad in the end and walked around naked and had his house covered in sheets so no germs could get in!! no, none of the family got anything as all his money was tied in his businesses and american lawyers got involved.howard got his money from my great great grand father who died and left his money to his brother who was howard hughes father and howard made more money from it. my dad's cousin's wife threw all papers into a fire and so there was no evidence of family so they were told by solicitors that they couldn't get anything!!

I think he's had some great roles.
1:45 pm
cosdem
he does but i do not like how he treated Anjelica Huston
1:46 pm
bichon
but that's a script, not him as an actor
1:46 pm

he, as a person, cheated and tossed Anjelica to the side but he as an actor is incredibly talented

4:40 pm

How is your hip, Kap?
4:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Lousy.
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I wonder if it will get better soon, or what I have to do.
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
How come I am even at the stage of life whee "how's your hip?" is a relevant question. hat am I- 85?
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's so unfair.
4:43 pm
stidmama
and what's wrong with 85??
more importantly, what happened to your hip, kaplan --
4:43 pm
MollyL
Do stretching exercises help at all?
4:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
85 is not so good when you're still in yr 50s.
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
In the middle of a flareup I think I am supposed to rest it. I iced it.
4:44 pm
stidmama
ah, yes -- rest, ice... do you take anti inflammatories? I can't any more, but they used to help a lot.
4:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
But I really hate it when I miss my gym class on Friday. Till this year I was going 5 times a week, now I'm lucky if I do 3.
4:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I took alleve in the morning. But I think I need more.
4:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Kvetching.
4:47 pm
stidmama
this is a long-term issue? have you noticed anything in particular that triggers it? -- my hip sometimes just pops out for no reason, but I definitely have identified a few things that always pop it out.
4:47 pm
MollyL
Kvetching is good, it purges you. : )
4:48 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I don't know. It seems to be becoming chronic but I don't know if there are triggers. It's osteoarthritis, suck it up I guess.
4:49 pm
cybernan
hello again :)
4:49 pm
MollyL
And kvetching clears out your genecktecessoink. No big whoop. : )
4:49 pm

I think I will have to start going back to spinning classes- zumba has become aa no-no.

te 7, please?
4:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Some advice says to rest, others say to be active.
4:50 pm
stidmama
that's rough, kaplan -- docs can only do so much with osteoarthritis, but there are some things they can do. What does your actual doctor say to do?
4:50 pm
Kaplan the Magne
This is what my parents told me would happen.

Kaplan the Magne
I am due for an annual. I went to PT which is frustrating. I have neck exercises and thumb joint exercises.
4:51 pm
stidmama
It may be that a good physical therapist could give you specific exercises to strengthen support muscles -- relieve some of the wear on the joint. Sometimes just fixing mechanics can help (but of course only so far, depending on the actual loss of cartilage and bone)
4:52 pm
cybernan
ty lynxxx
4:52 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I think I do most of those exercises in the gym anyway- squats and lunges and abductor raises and all that.
4:52 pm
cybernan
*!* ta da *!* - really tough!
4:53 pm
MollyL
Ah, as usual.
4:53 pm
stidmama
YAY nan!
4:53 pm

Congrats C'nan - an yes it is!
4:53 pm
cybernan
lots of projects on the go, so can't hang around -- see you at the flip :)
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I really think this is a "suck it up" situation. But I don't see my friends staggering when they walk.
4:53 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Thanks for listening.
4:54 pm
MollyL
Any time Kap.
4:54 pm
stidmama
I am thinking about more specific exercises that help align the joint properly. I had someone many years ago give me some very specific things to do for a knee that was troublesome due to the usual female structures, and it helped. It was strengthening the exact muscles to line up the joint and kneecap in a particular way. Good luck with it, kaplan.
4:54 pm
lynxxx
We just need to get you on the Joint Guard I have my dog on Kap, done wonders for him
4:55 pm
stidmama
yes, lynxxx! exoskeletons for all! Mine will be pink with sparkles, and phosphorescent racing stripes *wicked mama grin*
4:56 pm
lynxxx
really Stid - female structure? I have that problem too. I do probably the same excercise
4:58 pm
stidmama
women's hip's tend to have a wide angle, so our thigh bones enter the knee at an angle that wears the kneecap and joint strangely. Strengthening the muscles to hold the kneecap in position and re-align the ends of the bones slightly worked for me.
5:00 pm
lynxxx
Thanks - copying that.
5:00 pm
MollyL
I see Inge on line. If anyone is with her, who can read for her, please tell her we miss her very much.
5:01 pm
stidmama
definitely check with a physical therapist or other medical professional, though! We are all so different, your exercise needs might be different from mine.
5:01 pm
stidmama
ditto molly's comment re inge...
5:02 pm
stidmama
well, down below 60. need to go take a few minutes with the dog in the yard between raindrops. *poof*
5:03 pm

Have done all that, xray, specialist, physio - couldn't walk without pain several years ago. Physio go me back to normal, do the excercise when I feel twinges.

Kaplan the Magne
Is it bad when it tingles down to your foot?
5:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne
googling symptoms- brb
5:16 pm
lynxxx
You should probably go to GP and see what he/she says b4 you continue vigorous exercise - sometimes that can aggrevate
5:19 pm
Kaplan the Magne
True.
5:25 pm
lynxxx
There are lots of oral medicines for joint pain now...Glucosamine very common here...really make a difference. And seriously you wouldn't believe the diff in my greyhound, limping badly on and off for a couple of years, now on a shellfix mix (inluding gluco above), hasn't limped since he started on it. Of course if you have dodgy hips in yr family, surgery may be the answer - but that operation is a pushover nowadays - my FIL had 3 done from ages 60-89!
5:33 pm

herinfernallady

9:02 pm
Altagolfnut5
no sorry:( just started and no where near any 8's or 9's! and I'm new at this, so it takes me forever
9:02 pm
Altagolfnut5
have enough trouble with 4 letter words!
9:03 pm
MPittore
mo...sounds kinda like english show mo*** python circus.....
9:04 pm
MPittore
expand on the mo5/12 befor then pl it
9:05 pm
stidmama
mkg, the only 8 I have is ae 8/45; same as the es 7/32 which is a person who focuses on the "pretty" quality of things (a simplified explanation, Oscar Wilde was one of these people)
9:05 pm
MPittore
ending is like rolling stones K**** richards
9:06 pm
Jacula
ae8/45 = an arty farty person. ae9/66 = pertaining to beauty and sensitivity. de8/50 = pertaining to the use of food. es8.50 = same as ae9. mo8 and plural 9 = a punch bowl - the sort with hooks around it for cups to hang on.
9:06 pm
stidmama
hey Mpitt and alta
9:06 pm
Altagolfnut5
ty stidma!
9:06 pm
MPittore
hi there stidmama
9:06 pm
stidmama
ha! and Jac! I can retire now, you're all in good hands!
9:07 pm
Jacula
Stid - don't you dare! I only popped in for a moment!
9:07 pm
stidmama
that's a di 8/50 actually...
9:07 pm
stidmama
and thanks!
9:07 pm
Jacula
stid's right - the food one is a di8.
9:08 pm
stidmama
oooh --- I never knew punch bowls had an ae 9 name! *wicked mama grin*
9:08 pm
stidmama
that's all the 8s and 9s for me, first time in a while, thanks Jac
9:08 pm
Jacula
shaddupayourface! Stid. LOLxxx
9:09 pm
Jacula
y/w re the clues, stid.
9:09 pm
stidmama
how are you doing jac? never see you anymore
9:10 pm
Jacula
I'm okay thanks, stid. Might be brighter news on the job front soon. How are you?
9:12 pm
stidmama
same -- teaching jobs for next year are beginning to open up, so far only a few that I am qualified for in commuting range, but hopeful I will land a good "first job" in the next 6 months or so.
9:12 pm
Jacula
I hope so, too, stid.
9:13 pm
stidmama
are you looking for writing work, jac?
9:15 pm
Jacula
stid - I have to make the writing work myself, but it's coming. I accidentally signed up for an agency in Birmingham Alabama, not realising it wasn't Birmingham UK at the time. If I lived in Alabama it seems there would be opportunities galore, given the amount of stuff the site keeps sending me, even though I have said, 'take me off your list, I made a mistake'.
9:16 pm
Jacula
Beloved has has 2 possible job offers (he's a trucker) and they came within a couple of hours of each other after months of zilch! Life is strange!
9:16 pm
stidmama
*gasp of embarassment* I didn't know there was a Birmingham in the UK! that would be a bit of a commute for you, though!
9:17 pm
Jacula
stid - Birmingham UK is the second city (capital city) after London!
9:17 pm
stidmama
oh, I hope he gets a job he likes, I didn't know he was out of work
9:18 pm
Jacula
Many place names in the USA and Canada are the same as ones in UK. The pilgrims who went to the 'New World' often named places after where they came from.
9:18 pm
stidmama
I know Jacula, but we don't hear about places other than London, or sometimes Edinburgh (which I think some folks think is next door to London), and occasionally Liverpool if they are talking about the Beatles. *I* know of more places, but had completely forgotten your Birmingham. I am glad you reminded me.
9:19 pm
stidmama
yes, my ancestors in New London Connecticut, for example...
9:19 pm
Jacula
Stid - me, my son and my Beloved all got made redundant within a month of one and other.
9:19 pm
Jacula
Almost 9 months with no work for all of us now!
9:20 pm
stidmama
well that's just crap, Jacula. *very annoyed mama look* don't they know you need money to pay rent and such?
9:20 pm
Jacula
stid - they know but they don't care.
9:21 pm
stidmama
corporations can be real poopy-heads.
9:23 pm
Jacula
Actually, we don't pay 'rent', since we own our house. Ours is a mortgage and it's almost finished. However, the running costs of a household cost more than the mortgage payments.
9:24 pm
stidmama
that is very true, Jacula -- we have mortgage, food, utilities, gasoline (we live outside town so rely on personal transport -- no buses), etc etc etc. And Tom's income keeps going down and everything (except the mortgage) keeps going up. And my income barely pays my student loans. We are NOT getting ahead in anything.
9:26 pm
Jacula
stid - I think it's the same the world over and much worse in some countries than it is for those of us in the 'developed' world.
9:26 pm
stidmama
**international hugs across the pond**
9:27 pm
Jacula
But I doubt the balance of haves and havenots will ever change, and I doubt that the plight of those in need in underdeveloped countries that have corrupt governments will ever change.
9:28 pm
Jacula
((Hugs)) stid back.x
9:28 pm
Jacula
Anyone need any quick grid clues before I go?
9:28 pm
stidmama
I fear our species is well embedded in those dynamics, Jac -- but I perhaps naively still hope that things can improve in the long run.
9:28 pm
stidmama
well, I am down to 36...
9:29 pm
stidmama
but Lucky wants me to stop playing and start playing...
9:30 pm
Jacula
stid - a fear you are right about the embedment (if there is such a word!) but we can but hope.
9:31 pm
Jacula
15 minute window for clues now. Ready, steady, ask!
9:32 pm
Jacula
Oops! Almost gave a grid word away in that last post. LOL
9:33 pm
Jacula
stid - who is Lucky and what does he/she/it want you to play?
9:37 pm
Jacula
to6/21 clue - a bird. (Or try the name of one of Stid's family + a bosom.)
9:39 pm
Jacula
ti5.12 and ty5.16 = a tenth part of produce or money usually paid to the church.
9:39 pm
Jacula
6 more minutes to ask for clues...
9:40 pm
Jacula
ti5.14 = the offspring of a tiger daddy and a lion mummy.
9:41 pm
Jacula
sy6.24 = you might have a sy6 for doing the grid - it's your method of doing it.
9:42 pm
uusue2
thanks for the clues!
9:42 pm
Jacula
Just giving random, think people might need these, clues whilst passing the time before I leave.
9:42 pm
stidmama
sorry Jac and all -- neighbor came to the door. Back in a few ...
9:42 pm
Jacula
y/w Sue. Anything specific needed?
9:43 pm
uusue2
didn't understand the mo8 clue
9:43 pm
uusue2
(I can picture the thing but don't know what it is called)
9:44 pm
stidmama
those 6s were great!!!
9:44 pm
stidmama
that mo 8 looks like an American surname...
9:45 pm
stidmama
maybe think French "mon" + misspell the ivories in your mouth?
9:45 pm
Jacula
sue - it's an anagram of 'thin mote'.
9:45 pm
Jacula
good clue, Stid!
9:45 pm
stidmama
oh, clever Jac!
9:45 pm
uusue2
ok, got it, thanks! never heard the word...
9:46 pm
Jacula
sue - don't forget the plural (usual ending)!
9:46 pm
stidmama
so Lucky is my dog, and he is very clingy today -- I think my being sick today and taking a long nap in the afternoon after being gone all morning made him anxious
9:46 pm
uusue2
right, got that too
9:46 pm
Jacula
stid - dogs are like that. So are cats, but only if you miss their meal time.
9:46 pm
stidmama
and Lucky wants me to play "earth ball" which is a large synthetic rubber ball with a textured surface like the earth
9:47 pm
Jacula
Dogs are much more concerned about how we can have fun with them as opposed to what we 'should' do for them.
9:48 pm
stidmama
definitely, Jac -- he thinks it would be lovely to play fetch ALL day long. Even when he is completely lame (bad hips) after only a half hour of hard play
9:48 pm
Jacula
Right! It's past the time that I should go again. Time I went. Nice talking but I must go now. xxx
9:49 pm
jesdraggon
evening all
9:49 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams dear Jac
9:49 pm
stidmama
hey jes!
9:49 pm
uusue2
bye jac, and hi jes!
9:49 pm
jesdraggon
how's everyone tonight?
9:50 pm
stidmama
so... today's veterinary lesson for the day is that budgie beaks are SHARP! AND they don't like to have strings untangled from around their toes. (But it really had to be done)
9:50 pm
uusue2
just got a very nice award at the university, so I am happy :-)
9:50 pm
jesdraggon
also, they aim for the corners of your fingernails, or your cuticles. :D
9:50 pm
stidmama
and yes, we removed the item with the dangerous string from the cage
9:50 pm
jesdraggon
yay sue!
9:51 pm
stidmama
actually, Apollo was aiming for the space between the fingers -- assume it has a fancy name, the webbed area.
9:51 pm
stidmama
YAY sue indeed!
9:51 pm
jesdraggon
for which of your wonderfulnesses were you awarded?
9:52 pm
stidmama
(inquiring minds want to know)
9:52 pm
uusue2
service to the LGBT community on campus (I was the faculty advisor to the student group for almost 10 years)
9:52 pm
uusue2
I put a photo of the plaque on Facebook...
9:53 pm
jesdraggon
excellent! :)
9:53 pm
jesdraggon
i'll thank you for that too
9:53 pm
uusue2
pretty cool :-)
9:53 pm
stidmama
Sue, good for you! I am very pleased you have been there for the young people!
9:54 pm
jesdraggon
is ae8 related to ae4?
9:54 pm
uusue2
they only award one of these each year (well, one faculty/staff/alum and one student)
9:54 pm
stidmama
who was Eychaner?
9:54 pm
uusue2
no, jes, but it is related to es7
9:55 pm
uusue2
Howard and Millie Eyechaner were a local couple who were very vocal in their support of the LGBT community, including their children
9:55 pm
stidmama
and the ae 9 is the adverb of the ae 8
9:55 pm
stidmama
ah, I see sue --
9:55 pm
uusue2
they famously went to their church's annual convention in Kentucky back in the 1970s with a sign saying "proud of our gay and non-gay children"
9:56 pm
jesdraggon
thanks, found the es :)
9:56 pm
jesdraggon
and both ae
9:56 pm
uusue2
they had business cards made up with that slogan and handed them out to everyone - I think they were instrumental in the founding of PFLAG nationally (certainly locally they were)
9:57 pm
uusue2
there are two es, along with the two ae...

jesdraggon

Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (was started by a group of parents in support of their children)

10:09 pm

Good for you Jilly. Were you successful?
10:13 pm
Jillyjill
It was hard to hold my tongue as they accused us of "ulterior motives"...guess we're trying to make the whole world gay....
10:15 pm
jesdraggon
because clearly if i can have a wife, that will instantly force everyone else on Earth to become gay, whether they want to or not, yeah? bah
10:15 pm
wht
Yeah, like they don't have any ulterior motives.
10:15 pm
Jillyjill
they're out to save our souls...don't you know?
10:16 pm
jesdraggon
and in the name of saving our souls, God will overlook any amount of their hipocrasy.
10:16 pm
wht
And they want the government to help do it. No understanding about why we don't have an established religion in the US.
10:17 pm
Jillyjill
We had one young man, a gay senior in high school who has bravely shared his story, he is well respected by his peers and his story had an impact...but in the end the board refused to add gender language to policy...and one board member has a gay son...for SHAME!!
10:17 pm
jesdraggon
did that board member vote for or against, jilly?
10:18 pm
wht
Jes, it is amazing that my wife and I have been able to stay married these 30 years what with a married lesbian couple right across the street. ;^)
10:18 pm
cosdem
shocking wht!
10:18 pm
jesdraggon
hahah. truly, wht! it's astounding that they haven't kidnapped your wife and inducted her into their wicked coven of lust!
10:19 pm
Jillyjill
ROFL with WHT...yep, 32 years married..one straight son and one gay son...wherever did we go wrong...
10:19 pm
cosdem
u do realize you get a free toaster if you let them convert ur wife?
10:19 pm
Jillyjill
go cos!!
10:19 pm
uusue2
darn, you mean I missed out on the toaster???
10:19 pm
cosdem
didnt mean tot ype in 32.. my cat did lol
10:20 pm
wht
Well, if they are trying to do that, they take a very subtle approach. They ask her to feed their cats when they are gone.
10:20 pm
Jillyjill
The biggest argument? That it is a choice to be gay...dear God!! Dark ages here...
10:20 pm
hokie carla
fireworks!
10:20 pm
uusue2
yay hokie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!
10:20 pm

10:20 pm
jesdraggon
(and cute bunny, hokie)
10:20 pm
cosdem
lol its rididculous. they think i chose to be gay, i chose to be kicked out, i chose to drop out of HS... and wtg hokie
10:21 pm
wht
Just ask them when they chose to be straight, Jilly.
10:21 pm
uusue2
I have a poster on the wall of my office with a photo of a bunch of kids, it says "when did you choose to be straight?"
10:21 pm
Jillyjill
Nice wht!
10:21 pm
uusue2
and snap, wht!
10:21 pm
Jillyjill
WooT WooT WooT hokie!!
10:21 pm
jesdraggon
that's easy, wht. they chose to be straight because it's 1: what god wants or 2: natural.
10:22 pm
cosdem
see --- being gay is being accepted more and more.. so now theyre going after women
10:22 pm
jesdraggon
people who think it's a choice honestly don't grasp that the whole "natural" argument is flawed six ways to sunday.
10:23 pm
jesdraggon
yup. you chose it cos, just to rebel. you'll grow out of it, and settle down, raise a nice family with 3 kids.
10:24 pm
cosdem
lol i better hurry then.. just turned 33... my dad was younger than i am when i was born
10:24 pm
cosdem
wow that was the first time i called myself 33
10:24 pm
Jillyjill
And boy do these bible thumpers feel threatened...they don't want their kids exposed to this...guess God had a plan giving us the gay son ...god help the poor boy or girl if they were born into their family!!
10:25 pm
cosdem
my childhood catholic priest wrote in his weekly newslettter a few months ago that he will not tolerate gay bashing in his parish
10:25 pm
cosdem
these who do will be asked to leave the church
10:25 pm
Jillyjill
Nice ownership cos!!...I'll be 54 on Monday...I earned these years...proud of who I am now!! Age does NOT matter!!
10:25 pm
jesdraggon
sad thing is, jilly, there probably is at least 1 or 2 kids in those families, they're just too scared to speak up for fear of their family's reaction
10:25 pm
Jillyjill
Nice Cos, my parish priest is very supportive as well....
10:25 pm
Jillyjill
*shudders at thought*
10:25 pm
cosdem
the more religious a family is -- the more likely they will have a gay child.
10:26 pm
Jillyjill
It still was hard for our youngest to come out to us...imagine how horrific...
10:26 pm
cosdem
it's usually lesbians though
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
SOOO happy to have had my family; my mom told me that it was none of her business who i date, as long as I'm happy and they don't abuse me.
10:26 pm
cosdem
good for ur mom
10:27 pm
Jillyjill
Amen jes!
10:27 pm

can't understand parents disowning their children - my son is in and out of an abusive relationship that makes me unhappy - I won't have her in my house due to damage she has caused - but I would never disown him (although if he decides to keep her in his life I will only meet her on neutral ground until/unless she apologizes - very different situation, though!!!)

I will give a shout out to the teens here, what a change in the 7 years since our youngest (gay) one graduated. The teens now are vastly more accepting. But I still have nights at youth ministry when I have to call someone out for using "that's so gay"....

apparently by asking him to clarify something he was saying so I would better understand him. That usually does the trick. The other way to chase him off is to suggest a different interpretation of a point of law in a field I understand. He relaly hates that....
