Well, I suppose any one of us may or may not be who we say we are. The folly of the Internet. I am skeptical always, but promise I am whoi say I am (but you'd have to art aside our own skepticism to believe me, wouldn't you?)

12:13 am

cosdem

firefly: this is why I decided to go to the meetup tonight after all. I was so tired was gonna back out but 1) jmc made a nice meal and 2) i wanted to meet them.. and 3) i didnt need any suspicion on me lol

12:17 am

cosdem

I knew JC thru Neil. Thats all I will say.

12:17 am

Jullibus - just read your profile: a lovely verse by your Father. How's the recovery on your poor nose?

1:31 am

Christine

Whooo, what did I do, that my post ran off the edge of the box?

1:31 am

Christine

And, how can I un-do it?

1:31 am

jillibus

The nose is passable, thanks, Christine -- not quite the right colour, don't know if it ever will be.

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

st 7/28

1:32 am

jillibus

You didn't do it -- dart did, with the long URL. We just have towait until it scrolls off.

1:33 am

dart001

how come it didn't show right away?

1:33 am

Christine

I think your skin replenishes itself, every-so-often, sloughing off the old dead stuff. So perhaps it will right itself. I hope it's not too terribly different (the colour, I mean).

1:33 am

jillibus

It did, dart -- I noticed it

1:34 am

dart001

weird...nothing here until one post a sec ago..now fine again

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

I didn't notice it til Chris mentioned it :)

1:34 am

dart001

me either..now it's fine

1:35 am

jillibus

Christine, there's a greyish tinge to it. The plastic surgeon said it would be a year before it became invisible -- I hope it does.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

still goofy here

1:35 am

Christine

I just checked back, and I guess it wasn't me ... big sigh of relief.

1:35 am

jillibus

still not fine, dart.

1:36 am

dart001

maybe depends on browser or something

1:37 am

Good Morning i think someone has an oversized icon grid and chatbox is pulling ,this useally happens when there is a larg picture

2:30 am

MollyL

Katie has an over sized icon. Also, the url posted earlier should have been a tiny url. Regular urls blow the chat box width.

3:00 am

KatieMcG

oh sorry. How do I get my icon to be a small one?

3:16 am

good morning all :)
How nice, my first word is a sweet bear!

3:21 am

Katie, this is a helpful link for downsizing big pictures:
http://www.shrinkpictures.co\nm/
They have a separate page even for creating an avatar.

3:22 am

hm, you will have to remove the backslash + n from the url. Let me see if it will post clear if I tiny-url it.

3:24 am

6:33 am

london is a dusting

6:33 am

crosshair

but they are not geared for it

6:33 am

Lizlin

OK - and the Isle of Wight!

6:33 am

zoozzoom

But i do know we are very lucky compared to some places.

6:33 am

Lizlin

They're not geared for anything! Leaves on the rails, the wrong type of rain etc etc!

6:34 am

crosshair

tbh,i would rather this than the incredible heat you get in your summers liz

6:34 am

zoozzoom

We even canceled trains before any snow had fallen..lol

6:35 am

Lizlin

that's too funny!

6:35 am

Lizlin

It's not too bad in QLD, Crossy - averages about 30 C where we are. We don't get the extreme heat that's been making the news.

6:35 am

zoozzoom

I love the heat..just cannot stand all the creepy crawlies.

6:36 am

Lizlin

Haven't seen too many of them either - and no legless, slithery things either! Well, only one - non venomous one!

6:36 am

zoozzoom

I am beginning to sound like a whimp..haha

6:37 am

Lizlin

Never zooz

6:37 am

crosshair

we watch too many aussie nature shows here liz,as far as we know you can die 3 times down there just walking to the bathroom in the morning with the critters they show us!

6:38 am

Lizlin

And as for your polar bears coming into towns ...

6:38 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:38 am

churnhill manitoba and cocharin ontario

6:38 am

So not where you live then?

6:38 am

6:39 am

crosshair

3 hour drive north we do have black bears liz

6:39 am

Lizlin

With big claws and nasty pointy teeth!

6:39 am

crosshair

lolo,they do indeed,but they do not hide in our shoes and pump us full of venom

6:40 am

ROOOAAAR

6:40 am

Lizlin

HISSSSSSSSSSS!

6:40 am

crosshair

acck!

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Scorpions, Black widows..no thank you.

6:40 am

crosshair

now if we only had a polar bear that eats poisonous snakes...

6:41 am

Lizlin

I'd export them over here asap!

6:41 am

Lizlin

Do see jellyfish on the beach sometimes but usually washed up by the tide and not box jellyfish!

6:42 am

crosshair

forgot about those.you go for a dip and your nervous system gets fried by living jello

6:43 am

Lizlin

Wouldn't worry about them! Worry more about the sharks!!!! Not that I've seen them either!

6:43 am

crosshair

here,our lakes are large and fresh water thank you:)

6:43 am

zoozzoom

Have watched bondi beach rescue a few times..and the amount of people stung by jelly fish..and the pain on the peoples faces...not nice.

6:44 am

Lizlin

Seriously, on every beach there's a board, updated every day by the surf life savers - it tells you about rips, jelly fish etc and warns you whether it's safe to swim or not!

6:44 am

crosshair

have never swan in salt water

6:44 am

crosshair

swam

6:44 am

Lizlin

However, i don't swim in the sea!

6:44 am

Lizlin

Too dangerous!

6:45 am

zoozzoom

No i do not swim in the sea either and i live right next to it..lol

6:45 am

crosshair

funny,and that is exactly the first thing we do when we go visit you guys

6:46 am

Lizlin

I love walking on the beach though and you might've heard me say before, we go whale watching every week in our winter!

6:46 am

especially down under

6:46 am

I would love to whale watch..and thank you, Liz.

6:47 am

Lizlin

It's magical and we don't get bored with it. I've posted some whales we've seen in my profile.

6:48 am

crosshair

we can whale watch in western canada as the migration routes bring them in close out there

6:48 am

crosshair

but have yet to see it myself

6:48 am

Lizlin

Hope to do that later this year - do go if you ever get the opportunity. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I'll get the hang of virtual hugs one day!

6:50 am

zoozzoom

I would have to goto Scotland to see whales.

6:51 am

zoozzoom

* go to

6:51 am

Lizlin

Thanks zooz. The white whale, Migaloo, is the only known pure albino, though it is thought that he has a son / daughter whale. There are some other almost pure white humpbacks, but most have some dark markings too.

6:51 am

Lizlin

it'd be worth the visit!

6:52 am

rubyfoo

what an interesting chog; I actually read back for a change. Nice to read something other than interniscene {no idea of spelling}} conspiracies

6:52 am

zoozzoom

I love how people can give names to the whales with the niks and scrapes they have got..and can see where they have travled..love it.

6:53 am

Lizlin

It has been a bit like that, recently Ruby

6:53 am

crosshair

here most whales are identified by thier tails

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I can only swim in salt water (having lived in Miami) as I sink like a stone in fresh water

6:53 am

Sorry.. my spelling is awry today.

6:53 am

lol poor ruby

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I was in Greece once and the water was full of jelly fish eeew

6:54 am

crosshair

ugh

6:54 am

zoozzoom

Would definatley stay out of the water then, Ruby.

6:54 am

Lizlin

That's true zooz - we've seen stumpy here (named for the shape of its tail, then there's blade runner, who was injured badly by a propeller in Sydney but survived etc etc

6:55 am

zoozzoom

Would not want to be stung by anything thanks.

6:55 am

Lizlin

They generally are identified by their tails here too.

6:55 am

Lizlin

Yuck Ruby - not a good experience.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

only saw whales once, in Maui, and it was thrilling

6:56 am

Lizlin

Would love to swim with them one day!!!!! Can't really see that ever happening though!

6:56 am

zoozzoom

They are so huuuugggeee.

6:57 am

crosshair

out west they use zodiac boats to bring you right among the pod and the lucky few can actually pet a whale

6:58 am

zoozzoom

I would like to swim with the dolphins..i know lots of people say that..but i would.

6:58 am

Lizlin

Awesome!

6:58 am

zoozzoom

That sounds excellent, Crossy.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I think I'd be afraid, not being any kind of decent swimmer

6:59 am

Lizlin

Me too! That's more realistic, i guess! We see dolphins from the beach sometimes.

6:59 am

smores

Quick hello and {hugs} to you all

6:59 am

Lizlin

it'd have to be in a controlled situation, Ruby, as I'm not a brilliant swimmer either!

6:59 am

rubyfoo

when I lived in Miami, on an island, when I'd walk my chow chow, Rosie, at night, a dolphin would swim along the sea wall and the two of them would make noises at each other

7:00 am

Lizlin

Hi smores :)

rubyfoo

that's even worse

11:44 am

Glantarell

No, there is more snow thatn they expected today, and it has lasted longer than they expected too. On the bonus side it is not as cold as they expected - we only got -2 instead of -7. Expecting thaw on Friday, and possibly floods when it happens...

11:44 am

rubyfoo

here, they pull down the lower lid with the forefinger

11:45 am

oh okay, you seemed to know your way around the chog so i was wondering if i was forgetting. . .

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

hahaha

3:26 pm

lbdawger

but if you paid for pro, then you should ask Dr. G for help in finding your handle.

3:27 pm

windingwake

If I find myself sticking around, I probably will.

3:27 pm

windingwake

it eats up a lot of work time, though. Fine when nothing's going on but that's why I stopped last time.

3:45 pm

periwinkle

windingwake, you say you were parsec? I remember parsec.

3:50 pm

I remember you too!

I do have a really good memory for names

3:51 pm

periwinkle

Hi, Sue the other s is in the wrong place for it to be a plural.

Bye, Jacula

Not getting the Popeye clue. I have the word, just don't get why Popeye would say that.

4:31 pm

uusue2

I yam what I yam? Perhaps my thought process is too strange.

4:31 pm

uusue2

I know the plural of the clogged vein fixer isn't in the grid, zooz, but even when it is Enable doesn't accept it

4:32 pm

Ahh i am with you now, Sue..wonder why.

4:39 pm

KatieMcG

Sue - just been catching up on Franks progress and saw about the house, did you get moved ok?

4:40 pm

uusue2

not yet, Katie, we have until the end of February. And we have a house to move into, thanks to some friends!

4:40 pm

uusue2

We'll be renting it from them; they like us *and* our large dog and two cats, so it will work out well all around.

4:40 pm

KatieMcG

Oh it's nice to have a bit more time and good friends. It just gives Frank a little longer to get over the surgery

4:41 pm

KatieMcG

oh wow never thought of the difficulties of trying to rent with pets

4:41 pm

uusue2

we have amazing friends, Katie! Frank is almost recovered from the surgery now but the chemo is starting to get to him - and that goes through the end of May

4:42 pm

uusue2

it is tricky, Katie, a lot of places say no pets, or only small dogs, or only two pets, or some combination that we didn't satisfy

4:44 pm

KatieMcG

Well I'm glad your friends have a place for you to rent, it would be an awful choice to make if you had to go down to 2 pets

4:44 pm

uusue2

oh, it would have been impossible. And Frank just got elected to the county board; in order to keep his seat he has to live in the district, and this house is in! It is really perfect.

4:45 pm

KatieMcG

oh that has all worked out for the best. Are you OK with your house going?

4:46 pm

uusue2

I am. It took some getting used to but it was way too expensive, and my ex had started a lot of projects that he never finished, so it has been a perpetual construction zone.

4:47 pm

KatieMcG

At least this way you get a place for the two of you :) and it should be more managable

4:48 pm

uusue2

Indeed. And it's only a few blocks from where we live now, so moving should be pretty easy.

4:48 pm

KatieMcG

I'm glad you are doing ok

4:49 pm

uusue2

thanks! It's been rough but we are managing. And as I said, we have amazing friends. I couldn't do it without them.

4:50 pm

KatieMcG

it is times like these that you find out who your real friends are

4:51 pm

uusue2

it certainly is!

4:51 pm

Anyway I need to go collapse for a while, bbl!

4:53 pm

night sue

4:54 pm

Wow that is amazing. Pet odor is very permeating and difficult to get rid of. Which makes a place difficult to re-rent. Most rentals around here don't allow pets.

hi all

5:57 pm

periwinkle

I do not like pushy people. just needed to get that out there. it does not refer to anyone on babble

5:59 pm

stidgmere

I don't have the cr 6.

5:59 pm

ch1212

hi peri. DItto for me too. And since we're just putting stuff out there, I had to scroll back through the past couple days to read about NB. After initial shock, just ... sad, more for the crazy perpetrator.

Thanks anyway, stidgmere.

5:59 pm

Deeha

Just seen Mollys comment. One of my favourite poets is Ogden Nash who wrote the epic 'I have a dog

6:00 pm

Deeha

Her name is Porgy

6:00 pm

Lizlin

Good morning. Sorry I don't have either of those words :)

6:00 pm

Deeha

her breath is sweet her odour dorgy

6:00 pm

ch1212

Deeha, is that the 'Two Dogs Have I' one, or is it another?

6:01 pm

stidgmere

I'm going to wander off now but hi to liz and all aboard the good ship Babble.

6:02 pm

Deeha

Just those 4 line, sorry I split them up somehow

6:02 pm

ch1212

Bye, stidg.

6:03 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening stidg :)

6:04 pm

ch1212

Deeha, I was hoping there was another poem like that one. I get choked up when I read it. Lovely, lovely poem.

6:05 pm

Deeha

Dont think any of O Nash's come into that category! He also wrote 'A bit of talcum is always walcome

6:07 pm

ch1212

Oooh! Beloved just arrived home, and he surprised me with Arby's! BBL.

6:26 pm

emtiandeca

ya6?

6:27 pm

Lizlin

Hi - a difficult one to clue. Previously clued as rhyming with a prayer chant. Hope this helps

6:27 pm

Lizlin

the name give to a prayer chant.

6:30 pm

emtiandeca

I am still clueless :)

6:30 pm

Lizlin

OK - y + small insect + the first 2 letters of what a train runs on.

6:32 pm

fw!

6:32 pm

Lizlin

Congrats TO :)

6:32 pm

emtiandeca

oh my gosh, i was so dyslexic! Thanks!

6:33 pm

Lizlin

yw!

6:35 pm

MollyL

It surprises me that ma5 (the prayer chant) is not very well known by people who play here.

6:36 pm

BzznBea

Not too many people familiar with Hinduism

6:38 pm

smores

Hi again :)

6:38 pm

Lizlin

Hi smores :(

6:38 pm

Lizlin

:) - hit the wrong button!!!!

6:38 pm

Lizlin

LOL!

6:39 pm

smores

glad to see you too...lol

6:39 pm

smores

6:39 pm

Lizlin

Love the cuddly bear icon!

6:40 pm

Lizlin

So appropriate :)

6:40 pm

smores

thanks, I like him :)

6:41 pm

Lizlin

I remember the excitment going to see Chi Chi at London Zoo, when I was a kid. And then An An came over from Russia - but they didn't like each other enough!!!!

6:42 pm

smores

Yes, I recall reading about that.

6:44 pm

smores

There was one born back in the fall at our National Zoo in DC

6:45 pm

Lizlin

That's so cute - and great that they've managed to breed a baby.

6:47 pm

MollyL

Yeah, but ma5 is a meditation word and meditation is very popular these days.

6:47 pm

smores

I'll have to look it up later. There was one born a few years ago also.

6:48 pm

Lizlin

I guess, Molly, that in suggesting ma 5, it just confused some people, who started looking for an ma 5 in the grid - just threw their thinking.

6:49 pm

smores

I think the 1st thing that came to mind for most, myself included, was chant.

6:49 pm

BzznBea

I can never use a ma5 when I meditate as it disrupts my meditation.

6:50 pm

smores

I know the ma5 word and got the clue but agree with Liz, I think it caused confusion.

6:50 pm

MollyL

*Wonders about that since there is no ma in the grid*

6:50 pm

smores

lol...agree

6:51 pm

Lizlin

that's why it might've been confusing to some

6:51 pm

BzznBea

And I wondered why we say ma5 instead of the complete word.

6:51 pm

smores

Probably shouldve clued as rhymes with ma****

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Sensible thought

6:52 pm

MollyL

I was more confused by the Popeye clue but I guess we were all confused in our own way.

6:52 pm

smores

LOL...still can picture that one

6:52 pm

Lizlin

I still don't get the Popeye clue!!!!

6:52 pm

smores

*can't

6:53 pm

MollyL

Well, Popeye said I yam what I yam, but he didn't start every word with Y.

6:53 pm

BzznBea

Guess I didn't see the Popeye clue.

6:53 pm

Lizlin

All I can hear is the cartoon song from when I was a kid!

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

*picturing Popeye sitting crosslegged chanting Ommm*

6:54 pm

smores

yaamm....yaamm...yaamm :)

6:54 pm

MollyL

*Makes plans to steal Smores L and O key*

6:54 pm

BzznBea

Night all. See you tomorrow.

6:55 pm

smores

noooo, not my l and o key

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Night Bea - enjoy your evening

6:55 pm

smores

Good night Bea :)

6:56 pm

smores

Next you'll try and take my : and )

6:56 pm

Lizlin

OK - I get it! I have to say, I wouldn't have if you hadn't written that - I'd completely forgotten about "I yam ..." etc

6:56 pm

MollyL

No, you can : ) as much as you want. But every other comment need not start with LOL. : D

6:57 pm

smores

:p

6:57 pm

MollyL

I'm sure you are a very happy person, but it's hard to believe you are laughing out loud that much.

6:57 pm

smores

how about teehee?

6:58 pm

MollyL

Of course it's not as bad as people who say they are rolling on the floor laughing at something that is really not that funny.

6:58 pm

smores

I'll try and cut back, hey I haven't used the m word :)

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Everyone has their own style of chat

6:59 pm

MollyL

And you get a big gold star for getting rid of your Weemee.

6:59 pm

smores

Well, gotta go, watching Arrow

7:00 pm

Enjoy your evening, smores :)

7:21 pm

Lizlin

tyvm!

7:30 pm

Lizlin

te 6 /24 pls

7:35 pm

ChampFit

Add a vowel to the end of the 5/14

7:38 pm

Lizlin

More word blindness - but can't see how that works!

7:39 pm

Lizlin

te 6 /24 - comes after te 6 /21 - the only 5 / 14 doesn't have the same 3rd letter.

7:40 pm

ChampFit

I'm sorry...I clued wrong!!! duh...

7:41 pm

wvteach

te 6/24 - use those first 4 letters of 6/21 - change last two letters - use sometimes vowel and a consonant

7:42 pm

Lizlin

ty so much!

7:42 pm

Lizlin

Finding this grid tricky!

7:42 pm

wvteach

lots of weird words and lots of twisty words

7:43 pm

Lizlin

10 to go!

12 to go - we'll make it

7:44 pm

lbdawger

7:54 pm

rururocks

thank you

7:55 pm

MollyL

Don't bother looking at the definition. It's as messed up as the word.

7:55 pm

rururocks

I've given up looking at the definitions of enable words a long time ago

7:56 pm

rururocks

`brb

7:57 pm

wvteach

always try to look up one each day - had to go look - containing a tolyl group, chemical adjective

7:58 pm

MollyL

Yes, and unless you are a chemistry head, that definition is pretty useless.

8:06 pm

rururocks

my chemistry head days were in the 60's and 70's

Dorens

hi welki. baby coming anytime soon?

8:19 pm

bichon

8:19 pm

welki

8:19 pm

Dorens

oh, how early is this?

8:19 pm

welki

8:20 pm

8:20 pm

rururocks

whats the difference between a preemee and a weemee?

8:21 pm

welki

wardrobe, ru

8:21 pm

Dorens

oh, then it is safe now, that's good.
*admits to not knowing what a weemee is*

8:21 pm

MollyL

Preemees aren't creepy

8:22 pm

welki

my plan is to get there as soon as i can, get a room in somerset - let everyone know i'm there and hopefully we can meet up. jmc said she might drive up - if she thinks she can, i'll rent a suite so she can bunk with me

8:22 pm

Dorens

i've seen some very creepy looking preemees. depends on just how early they are

8:22 pm

welki

you're just so full of sunshine today, molly. i love you, too.

8:23 pm

welki

a weemee, dorens, is like my icon - it's a cartoon.

8:23 pm

MollyL

Obviously we can no longer joke about the weemees. I'll add that to the list.

8:23 pm

rururocks

weemees are creepy

8:23 pm

Dorens

ok. I'm just a half hour away from somerset. i can have you all up here on a weekend day.

8:23 pm

welki

that's what you said the last time, but i don't think you're joking

8:24 pm

Dorens

what makes them creepy? the big eyes?

8:24 pm

welki

molly said they remind her of anime

8:25 pm

welki

i'm just tired of the same old, same old - get some new material

8:25 pm

Dorens

it does remind me of animÃ©, but so what? i had kids in my office today drawing pictures to decorate my wall. I'm not an anime fan, but they are.... no harm

8:25 pm

MollyL

I'll assume that comment goes for Ru too.

8:26 pm

welki

ru - get some new material. the weemee stuff is getting old. (just so you hear it from me *LOL*)

8:26 pm

We have to get some new material Ru. Our dislike of weemees is no longer acceptable here.

8:26 pm

welki

a st6 of hair, the st6 theater

8:27 pm

rururocks

oh okay.. got it

8:27 pm

rururocks

the material thing

8:28 pm

welki

have at it, this is an open forum. but for me, it's just yesterday's news

8:29 pm

rururocks

i just put post -its on them molly

8:29 pm

Dorens

i don't particularly like maxine, but when people put it in their icon i just don't mention it. Some do like her, some don't. So what? I don't get it.

8:29 pm

welki

me either

8:30 pm

Dorens

there you go... post its. great solution

8:30 pm

welki

(but i do like maxine)

8:30 pm

Dorens

and you are entitled to like it. and use it as an icon. You don't need to like mine, I don't need to like yours. (but mine is very pretty)

8:32 pm

welki

yes it is very pretty - i miss all the ferns, it's so dry here

8:33 pm

Dorens

so it was 16 degrees outside today, and the boiler in school went on the fritz.

8:34 pm

welki

good thing i'm not the sensitive type, eh? oh wait, we can't say sensitive here anymore. we shouldn't use LOL anymore, we shouldn't say monkeys anymore. of course, it's all a joke :D :D :D :D

8:34 pm

welki

egads, did you have to send the kids home?

8:34 pm

Dorens

easy, welki. You can say what you like, this is a friendly grid

8:35 pm

rbud

wait, no more monkeys? did a monkey protest?

8:35 pm

Dorens

No, they ended up fixing it. But lots of folks wearing coats for an hour or two (and I was certainly one of them!)

8:35 pm

Dorens

hah! i had definite monkeys working yesterday, and think i might need to call them out today as well. Not sure why people aren't using them, but I sure am

8:36 pm

welki

i'm hoping that it's a little warmer when i fly in - it's only january and i've had enough of winter

8:37 pm

Dorens

i'm sure this will pass. we may have huge snow storms by then though.. who knows? it is winter for another few months now

8:38 pm

welki

hi rbud

8:39 pm

welki

anyway, i'm off to LOL about monkeys with my weemee - have a good night everyone. (pssst :D :D :D :D)

Senate Bill 11 now heads to the Appropriations Committee, one of a number of steps before the measure makes it way to the governor's desk. It is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper in March and become law on May 1.

Cosdem, you'd better be the real thing: I don't want us all getting excited on July 11th, then finding your hoaxing us.

11:26 pm

cosdem

11:27 pm

Christine

As an hetero woman,. I really can't see why these people are making such a to-do about letting anyone and everyone marry. TGwo words - consenting adults!

11:28 pm

cosdem

ohhhh okay I see what u mean lol

11:28 pm

cosdem

ryan and I are legally married. (legally in 10 states anyway)

11:29 pm

scrambler

thanks cos, and it's legal in boston,boston legal!! :3

11:29 pm

Christine

The churches say it's to protect marriage for the purpose of bringing more children into the family - therefore, any sterile couples, or women over childbearing age souldn't be eligible for marriage.

11:29 pm

Christine

It's also legal in my house.

gerrymandering in va already while lone vote attends inauguration, dirty pool!

11:31 pm

Christine

I think it was defeated in California, a few years ago, because people misunderstood the headline - YES on Prop 5 (or whatever), and people that I know thought they were voting for everyone's right to marry.

11:32 pm

Christine

Had they read the full thing, they'd realise it was YES take away rights.

11:33 pm

rururocks

proposition 8

11:33 pm

rururocks

one of the last frontiers on civil rights

11:34 pm

Christine

Oh, that was the one. I don't have a vote (not a citizen), but I have a big mouth, and tell my friends what to do .

11:34 pm

rururocks

I think the Supreme court has decided to judge the matter

11:35 pm

rururocks

it is only a matter of time

11:36 pm

cosdem

sorry got distracted. supreme court HAS decided to hear yes. will argue in March

11:36 pm

cosdem

two separate cases.. one for Prop 8 and one for DOMA

11:36 pm

cosdem

Maybe Im wrong. I know 2 cases for sure in March. One for DOMA, not sure about the other case

11:37 pm

Christine

What is DOMA?

11:38 pm

rururocks

a lot of my gay friends say it isn't time to challenge this .. i'm not sure.. it may be time

11:39 pm

rururocks

it's long overdue for people to marry who they want

11:39 pm

rururocks

regardless of sex

defense of marriage act. which bans federal recognization of gay marriage. pres clinton signed it in law in 1996. he now opposes it and wants it repealed/overturned

11:40 pm

boatierra

DOMA â€“ Defense of Marriage Act - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_o\nf_Marriage_Act

11:40 pm

cosdem

Obama wants it overturned too but the GOPs in Congress are the ones who are going to the supreme court. Usually it would be the attorney general but Obama ordered the AG not to defend it.

11:40 pm

Christine

Wait, he wanted everyone to be free to amrry, now decides not?

11:41 pm

cosdem

clinton opposed gay marriage in 1996. he now supports it.

11:41 pm

Christine

Wait again, now that I've reread your post,I think I got that backwards .

11:42 pm

Christine

I'm surprised at him - I thought he was one of the good guyes (not so much a good husband).

11:42 pm

Christine

my computer is having trouble, spelling, tonight.

11:43 pm

cosdem

every major Democrat opposed gay marriage back in 1996. only 11 senators voted no on DOMA. Now almost every democrat in congress supports it. times change.

11:45 pm

Christine

Bloody politicians are busy with civil rights inany other country, and can't see what's right in front of them. The operative word is RIGHTS !!

11:45 pm

rururocks

right on christine

11:46 pm

Christine

As soon as I get my hip and knee replaced, we'll march on Washington.

"But hereâ€™s the thing about rights. Theyâ€™re not actually supposed to be voted on. Thatâ€™s why theyâ€™re called rights." - Rachel Maddow

11:47 pm

Absolutely.

the g.o.p. uses subterfuge to trick the rt wing christian fundamentalists by pressing their buttons and supporting their views and votes against abortion votes and DOMA, anything to get a vote. They don't realize they have been played for votes.
