puglet

2:01 am

sprite

2:02 am

sprite

new development: the boy does not even say good morning or hello anymore. We have been reduced to providing him with a hotel. Am SO glad we are having that meeting tomorrow.

2:02 am

joso

I don't think roaming around oz asking for grannyrose would get me far in any case

2:02 am

puglet

thats my plans---I got a sister that loves to read too so I can pass them on when Iam done

2:03 am

sprite

oh wonderful, so much more fun when shared.

2:03 am

grannyrose

2:04 am

sprite

innocently... hm yes, sure rose

2:04 am

puglet

I dont remember the writer but she has every book from the one that wrote flowers in the attic

2:04 am

joso

swimming over the rockies has always been a tough haul

2:04 am

grannyrose

2:05 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL!!

2:05 am

puglet

I think so Sprite

2:07 am

grannyrose

no you, little pugs...i love the way you, sprite ....heck all of you, care about my well-being...so much more than my bio mum.

2:07 am

joso

i followed that series for a while, was very good at first, but after a 1/2 dozen or so the wole thing started to streach credulity

2:07 am

sprite

we luv you to pieces, rose. never doubt it.

2:08 am

puglet

I lost interest in them too,Joso

2:08 am

grannyrose

2:09 am

puglet

Never read either Sprite

2:09 am

sprite

diana gabaldon is awesome

2:10 am

sprite

oh pug, I just read some of the books of the travelling matchmaker. Fun reading!

2:10 am

joso

same thing happened to me with King, they all started to become very simmilar after a dozen or so. though he does have a real knack for getting you to identify with someone before he offs them

2:10 am

puglet

I got a tickle out of her stories

2:11 am

sprite

indeed, joso. He knows his craft. But it gets to be a bit mechanic.

2:11 am

sprite

me too, pug. Thanks for telling me about them.

2:11 am

grannyrose

strange, i have found myself drawn to the classics lately. i find today's authors have too much soft-porn in their books...heaven knows, that is something i do not need. working my way through morris west, daphne du maurier at the moment.

2:12 am

puglet

I hate when they take a great story and then make a crappy movie out of it

2:12 am

sprite

ah, you wouldn't like the books I just listed for puglet then, rose, lolol.

2:12 am

sprite

oh I like daphne du maurier.

2:13 am

sprite

indeed, pug :(

2:13 am

puglet

Rose try the traveling matchmaker its clean and funny

2:13 am

grannyrose

* giggle * now pugs is reading my mind. i just told don to look for them for me.

2:13 am

joso

even when a movie is well done the book normally has so much more

2:15 am

puglet

true Joso cause they cant act out the thoughts in the mind

2:15 am

sprite

joso, I have this cartoon here... that says: How was the movie? And then you see someone in a cinema watching the screen where all the pages of the book are projected. And then he says: "It was exactly like the book."

2:16 am

puglet

I wish I could remember the name of the books of the two spinister sisters that took in wayward girls to teach proper manners to

2:16 am

joso

:)

2:16 am

sprite

the 6 graces, I think, puglet, also by M.C. Beaton.

2:17 am

sprite

no, the 6 sisters.

2:17 am

puglet

Sprite I can tell you--I think there were 4 in the series--but they are filled with humor too

2:17 am

joso

The only time a movie can add to a book is if it is very visual, like with lord of the rings, a war movie, or sf stuff

2:18 am

sprite

Minerva; Deirdre and Desire

2:18 am

puglet

these girls werent related that they took in

2:18 am

puglet

each book was about one certain girl

2:18 am

sprite

Daphne, Diana the Huntress and Frederica in Fashion

2:18 am

grannyrose

2:23 am

sprite

joso

anthony is good, But I think terry pratchett is even better

2:23 am

grannyrose

oh, must look into those then.

2:24 am

joso

I've read some rose, but not a fan of puns in general

2:24 am

grannyrose

are all of terry's good?

2:24 am

sprite

Terry pratchett is fun.

2:24 am

sprite

but yes, I love puns. As long as they are good ones.

2:25 am

grannyrose

aha, 2 recommendations ....then it becomes a must read.

2:25 am

joso

pratchett and the 'it shouldn't happen to a vet' series are the only ones that make me laugh out loud regularly. oh and gran's chat too

2:26 am

grannyrose

gee, thanx...i think....

2:26 am

sprite

lol... well-tempered clavicle... Knot Gneiss... :D

2:27 am

grannyrose

i absolutely love anything of gerald durrell's...and james herriot. both of them have me in stitches.

2:27 am

sprite

oh james herriott, i LOVE THOSE BOOKS.

2:27 am

sprite

sorry, capslock on. Don't know the other guy.

2:27 am

joso

any of his disc world series rose, which is 90% of his work.

2:28 am

joso

got to try this gerald durrell's guy, new to me

2:29 am

grannyrose

gerald durrell, zoologist and author. spent his childhood on a greek island. start with ' my family and other animals'

2:30 am

grannyrose

you won't stop there, i promise. he was/is also an animal conservationist, and at one time had his own zoo.

2:30 am

joso

ok, for pratchett mort or guards, guards are favorites of mine

2:30 am

grannyrose

he has a brother, lawrence, much more sober.

2:31 am

grannyrose

thanx joso...will definitely check him out

2:33 am

grannyrose

ahhh, just googled gerald, he died in 1995.

2:33 am

puglet

My childhood favorite was Old Yeller, I bet I read that a 100 times-lol

2:33 am

joso

for current fantasy the dresden series (much better than the tv series) and the iron druid series are very good.

2:33 am

grannyrose

yeah, pugs....was one of my fve's also

2:34 am

joso

truly excellent, that was a good movie adaptation too

2:34 am

sprite

found it, rose, will read it

2:34 am

grannyrose

mind you, i was an avid reader...no christmas stocking was ever complete without a new book in it...lol

2:35 am

grannyrose

sprite, will look forward to your impressions.

2:35 am

puglet

me too Rose! Ive always been a reader

2:35 am

joso

still an avid reader

2:36 am

grannyrose

one of the things i most look for in the op shops every fortnight...cruising the book shelves. such a treasure trove!!

2:36 am

joso

going through the 3 deighton trilogies at the moment

2:37 am

grannyrose

looking back in chog....maybe i should amend that....still am an avid reader...lol

2:38 am

sprite

same here, rose and joso. Books are the best things in the world.

2:38 am

puglet

I love stories of pioneers and back in the times when new territories were being develope

2:40 am

joso

My big thing was sf, new ideas, new worlds, new societies. but hard to find anything fresh now. good historical novels, fantasy, spy, almost anything well written.

2:41 am

puglet

theres nothing like a good writer that makes you feel you are right in there with the people

2:42 am

joso

hate it when a good author gets too famous, nobody is able to edit them properly then and so many become overly verbose, like clancy and king

2:42 am

grannyrose

pugs, if you are interested...eleanor dark...she wrote a trilogy about the very beginnings of australia, from when governor phillip first came.

2:43 am

puglet

Joso you might like The Host by stephinie Meyer(the one who wrote the twilight series)

2:43 am

puglet

thanks Rose will check into thsoe

2:44 am

grannyrose

joso, absolutely...which is why today's authors, i think, feel they have to branch out into the soft-porn.

2:44 am

sprite

joso: Jacqueline Carey, the Kushiel series.

2:45 am

joso

this is gold, building a recommended author list.

2:46 am

puglet

I know-lol I got several from off of here

2:46 am

joso

tnx pug, sprite, rose

2:46 am

puglet

yvw

2:47 am

sprite

Kushiel's Dart is the first one. Well written, different, fascinating.

2:47 am

joso

got 4 so far, not often people recomend stuff i haven't already read.

2:48 am

joso

what's it about sprite, and the host pug

2:49 am

puglet

The Host is about aliens taking over

2:50 am

joso

nm sprite, googled it, tnx pug, will look it up

2:51 am

sprite

joso, in the world of Kushiel it is about the Night Houses, places dedicated to giving pleasure. Each follows the dictates of their chosen God. For the house of Kushiel, it is pain. It is the story of a girl born to be Kushiel's servant.

2:51 am

sprite

ok, too late, lolol

2:51 am

sprite

aliens taking over... now you tell me. So that is what happened to tim. the Pod people!

2:52 am

puglet

that sounds good Sprite

2:52 am

puglet

who knows? lol

2:53 am

grannyrose

which reminds me...tomorrow is D day, right , sprite?

2:55 am

sprite

right, rose. End of the afternoon. Can't wait... don't want to go...

2:55 am

puglet

Rose, are you still feeling down?

2:55 am

sprite

today I have a session with my therapist... just a bit of care for my own turmoil... it is a bit muchish atm

2:56 am

puglet

Sprite is Tim going too

2:56 am

joso

you must be curious about what is driving tim sprite, this is the best chance to find out what is going on

2:58 am

joso

last time you went to your therapist you got a huge compliment, why be nervious?

2:58 am

sprite

I agree, joso. And yes pug, he is coming too.

2:58 am

puglet

riding in the same car too?

2:58 am

sprite

well it is not an easy thing, joso, bringing one's family troubles to strangers and discussing them there...

2:59 am

sprite

not sure yet, pug. Will see how it goes today. If we will pick him up from school and bring him back after... I think that would be best.

2:59 am

joso

yea, I can see that

3:00 am

sprite

so that is why I am nervous. But also very glad we are getting help.

3:02 am

joso

not likely to get an instant fix, but I hope it goes well and you make progress

3:02 am

grannyrose

sweetheart, just relax. i told you you have both been great parents. it's tim who has to come to grips with his ho7's, and it will be a new learning curve for him. i hope it goes well. dear.

3:03 am

sprite

what I am hoping for is they can get through to him and get him to commit to certain rules. If he can behave at home, things will be a little easier. And if he can admit he was very much in the wrong, things might even become bearable.

3:03 am

sprite

thanks rose. *hug*

3:04 am

joso

tnx for the ho7 rose, lol

3:04 am

grannyrose

my heart aches for tim...it is so hard to become an adult...and there he is, sitting on the cusp...not sure what he is feeling...

3:05 am

sprite

hey, hold it, your sympathies should lie with me! LOL

3:05 am

puglet

I dont think he knows why he is acting as he is

3:05 am

joso

get him a few estrogen tabs

3:05 am

puglet

I feel for you too Sprite

3:05 am

Jivingjenny0

please could someone clue the 8s for me

3:05 am

sprite

how about a lobotomy :)

3:06 am

sprite

thanks pug. It is tough. But you are all correct, it is hardest for Tim.

3:06 am

sprite

hiya Jjenny, sorry, don't have them yet

3:06 am

grannyrose

lol...remember i brought up 3 boys through puberty, on my own....and yes my, darling, my sympathies ARE with you...because you have to watch your child struggle through this in order to become an adult.

I agree with Bich. Expressing feelings is good. Bottling them up, not so good.

hi all. help with the 8's pls. I have one 7: mo7/40

6:53 am

rubyfoo

It's very rare for me (not the pinkie, the expression)

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Depends if expressing feelings is throwing crockpots at your husband's head.

6:53 am

MollyL

And what's wrong with that?

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

On the other hand whispering "I'm a bit sad" may not be effective.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

no, I'm never destructive or physical, just grew up in a very calm and happy housenold, never saw my parents fight

6:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

You could break a good crockpot, that's what's wrong with it.

6:54 am

bichon

Maybe they fought when you weren't around

It's a stuffed doll that comes with this poem:
When you want to throw the phone
or kick the desk and shout,
here's a little dammit doll
you cannot do without.
Just grasp it firmly by the legs
and find a place to slam it,
and as you whack it's stuffing out
yell DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!!!!

One thing to remember when you read or hear someone insisting that an English word must have a certain meaning because of its Latin or Greek roots is that these insisters apply their etymologies very selectively. You will find few of them who object to December being used for the twelfth month, when its Latin root means "ten," or to manure being used as a noun meaning "to work (land) by hand."
(Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, 1995)

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Interesting, o-o.

7:24 am

The early Roman calendar only had ten months, which is why December was chosen as the name for the last one.

7:31 am

Anniebrook

that is also verrry interesting

7:33 am

MollyL

Annie's got her Arte Johnson on today : D

7:34 am

I'm a little sad that in three more episodes, this story is over.

7:37 am

car.eeyore

And what I was referring to regarding production was there was no background music or additional sound for quite a long time...the anticipation was at full height!

7:37 am

car.eeyore

I know, but it is time.

7:38 am

It was Michelle MacLaren's last time up as director, and she did an amazing job.

Nope, Ruby.

7:51 am

Scrabs, if I exercised as much as you do and still struggled with weight, I would be depressed.

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Well, losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I eat healthy food but too much of it.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must be going. Enjoy the day, all.

7:53 am

7:55 am

o-o

As Paul Harvey used to say, now for the rest of the story: December was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar until a monthless winter period was divided between January and February. It gets its name from the Latin word "decem" which means tenth. However, when the Romans added January and February to the calendar, it became the twelfth month. The name remained the same however.

hi

9:56 am

bichon

hurshy, I never got to ask you a question about your zucchini recipe

9:56 am

bichon

Is it 375 for 1.5 hours?

10:16 am

MollyL

I've seen similar recipes that bake at 375Â° covered, they involve uncooked rice. If using cooked rice, the baking time is usually shorter.

10:21 am

Judi

Hiya, Babblers! What's cookin?

10:22 am

MollyL

It was a zucchini casserole mentioned yesterday I think.

10:23 am

bichon

ty Molly. I usually use cooked rice when I cook

10:23 am

bichon

I guess hurshy has left the building

10:23 am

MollyL

I do too Bich, especially in casseroles. In that case, I'm sure 350 until bubbly is fine.

10:24 am

MollyL

I don't make things with squash, since no one in my house likes it.

10:28 am

Does anyone have a list?

10:29 am

i am down to 24 left....trying to hang in...

10:30 am

hurshy

i'm sorry

10:30 am

hurshy

it was 375 for 1.5 hours, uncovered

10:30 am

hurshy

even though the rice was cooked

10:31 am

hurshy

the rice was all at the bottom though

10:32 am

hurshy

dunno if that makes a difference

10:33 am

Judi

Hmm. Speaking of food, time to order lunch.

10:35 am

bichon

That seems like a long time if the rice were already cooked. And 375 is high heat

10:36 am

penquis

why not just check it when it's bubbly?

10:36 am

bichon

I will do that and toss a little eggplant in too

10:37 am

Judi

Clues for the 8's please?

10:37 am

penquis

use one of those cake testers to see if the veggies are cooked...

10:38 am

bichon

cake tester?

10:38 am

bichon

do you mean a toothpick?

10:38 am

Judi

*stands by with fork* I'll test that cake.

10:38 am

penquis

yes, something like that....i have a metal stick....fine...

10:39 am

penquis

mine is longer than a toothpick....perhaps 5 in...

10:40 am

Judi

Geesh. We've had some realy sticky grids lately. Color me discouraged.

10:40 am

bichon

I guess I could rustle up something metal and thin. Have so many cooking tools in the house

10:40 am

hego

Bichon, you can buy cake testers in any kitchen gadget department. And they are handy to have.

10:40 am

hurshy

it didn't bubble it wasn't a bubble kind of situation

10:40 am

Lizsark

hello. Judi I agree. Stuck a lot lately.

10:40 am

penquis

or a long toothpick... ;o).....

10:41 am

hurshy

but, it was good

10:41 am

hego

Just a little metal stick with a plastic handle.

10:41 am

Lizsark

and I use a strand of spaghetti to test cakes ;)

10:41 am

penquis

if it doesn't bubble, just test it at the half way point...

10:41 am

hurshy

i mean i dunno what to tell you, it seems long and high for cooked rice, and yet, it worked fine.

10:41 am

hego

good idea Liz

10:41 am

penquis

maybe it needs extra time to blend the flavors...

10:42 am

we were watching "silk" on BBC, and this lawyer got made QC, and i said, so i guess when Elizabeth dies, all the QCs will become KCs, and then my husband says, if they keep their status. and i was like, i don't think it's like the Privy Seal, i don't think you lose it. i mean like you don't lose your knighthood, even if you're just Sir Elton John and you didn't inherit and you can't pass it on, right? so, do you know how it works with lawyers who are QC?

10:45 am

Judi

For a minute there, I thought "sa" meant South African. Talk about making my life more difficult.

10:45 am

10:47 am

Judi

Off to lunch. Ta for now.

10:47 am

hurshy

you kin be BOTH prosecution AND defense there!

10:47 am

It can be either, bichon. It depends who retains the particular QC to argue their case.

10:48 am

11:20 am

hurshy

11:20 am

hurshy

R's are a bit tricksy

11:21 am

Haz1558

They're too sophisticated to do that.

11:48 am

hurshy

that's impressive you are able to do so well then

11:48 am

hurshy

well sure but that's not the same as up to date tile stats of what you have and what you need

11:49 am

A*n*i*t*a

ok top righthand corner n 7 letters

11:49 am

MollyL

Sure it is, if you put your words next to the stats list

11:49 am

A*n*i*t*a

lol

11:51 am

MollyL

Who knows?

11:51 am

hurshy

molly, yes, i put my words next to the stats list as a last resort, it's just quicker and easier with the stats provided by doc, i think, and then if needed, go to the other stats list.

11:51 am

hurshy

oh just change the end vowel there anita.

11:51 am

hurshy

today, i was able to go listless!

11:52 am

MollyL

I agree Hursh, I would hate playing without Tile Stats

11:52 am

hurshy

i used to though. i went for a long time without going Pro.

11:54 am

hurshy

i werz being stubbornly cheap

11:54 am

Erda

I'll rephrase it: Has anybody heard from or about Lickety?

11:55 am

MollyL

It's such a reasonable price to join, I didn't have a problem with it. And no Erda, have not seen any news about Lickety.

11:55 am

hurshy

there was a lickety list on ... sunday... and yesterday too right?

11:55 am

Erda

yes

11:55 am

joso

it's been so long that i forget what pro gets you, do you at least get a word count without

11:56 am

Erda

poof

11:56 am

hurshy

i don't think you even do get the word count

11:56 am

hurshy

i remember asking how many words

11:57 am

joso

likety was long delayed a couple of days ago, may be he is getting busy

11:57 am

MollyL

No you don't, Hursh. That's why we have regular non-pro users asking for the word count.

11:57 am

joso

Imagine working a monster grid, wondering when it will end

11:58 am

hurshy

i think i have TWO songs in my head, alternating. the other one is Jolene.

11:58 am

MollyL

Well, at least you have good taste in earworms.
: )

11:58 am

hurshy

but you wouldn't wonder joso, you would ask everyone else.

12:00 pm

joso

apparently chubby checker did a version of the charleston, would like to hear that but can't find a copy yet

12:00 pm

joso

I guess I would hurshy

12:03 pm

You don't have to join to hear the song

Soodle

And approx 90 minutes after Molly's joke, the penny drops with me. I've obviously inhaled too much paint fumes. Hey all:-)

5:18 pm

MollyL

Oh you need help.

5:19 pm

Soodle

True. :-(

5:21 pm

MollyL

See, there is a reason people drink Irish whiskey.

5:21 pm

Soodle

And a reason people have risque uncles!

5:22 pm

Soodle

Looks like just the pair of us on tonight, Molls.

5:23 pm

MollyL

That joke is far from risque. It's the joke that the old uncle (whose jokes everyone is sick of) thinks is hysterical.

5:25 pm

Soodle

Well - dodgy jokes, then! That joke of yours wouldn't be appreciated here. The pronunciation would kill it stone dead.

5:26 pm

MollyL

Didn't you get the memo? Chatting is out. Lurking is in. '

5:27 pm

Soodle

I'm a flurker, myself!

5:29 pm

MollyL

I'd listen to bad jokes in a good Irish pub any night.

5:30 pm

joso

lurk, flurk, smirk, go bezerk, it's all the same in the end

5:32 pm

joso

it's the whisky that makes the joke, and triple distilled is just on step closer to nirvana than a mere english double

5:34 pm

Soodle

Point of order Joso. Irish whiskey has an E in it!

5:35 pm

joso

so does one, must be the whiskey talking

5:35 pm

joso

on step closer, sheeesh

5:36 pm

Soodle

No such thing as 'one' drink. A bird never flew on one wing!

5:39 pm

joso

one step is very different than one, someone was telling me their are 12 steps. I wouldn't know, always lost count somewhere around 7 or 8

5:47 pm

MollyL

Ah yes, triple distilled, it's all so familiar.

5:48 pm

joso

always prefered irish over scotch, it's a smoother, sneakier poison.

5:50 pm

joso

If I keep working these memories I'll start drinking again

5:53 pm

Soodle

Are you a non drinking drinker Joso?

5:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi ladies n gents

We will have to agree on synchronicity since we have the running ise vs ize thing going. : P

6:14 pm

Soodle

Joso. When you have the time, search Youtube:- John B Keane. Whiskey. I don't drink it myself, but it's a very poetic tribute to the golden nectar.

6:15 pm

MollyL

Soodle and I balance each other out. Both Irish yet she does not drink whiskey and I do not drink tea (like the Irish do)

6:16 pm

Soodle

Molly, as long as the loot comes our way, I'll ize till my eyes pop out!

6:17 pm

joso

ok, will do. tnx Soodle

by enlarge sf people are social misfits, interesting to see them get a chance to develop social skills they never had a chance to in high school.

6:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

who, me, a social misfit? (runs and hides)

6:27 pm

MollyL

Yes, by and large, it is.

6:27 pm

joso

ah gwen, if you've been around fandom enough you've seen them blossom, 5 years in fandom same as 5 years in highschool, odd misfits, generally brighter than average, but not socially ept.

6:27 pm

6:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my first was a really bad Detroit one, run by an outfit called Convention Connection, or something like that. It was for British scifi-fantasy

6:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there was one actual Doctor Who guest, who happened to be one of my least favorite actors, who played one of my least favorite characters. Ugh. LOL

6:59 pm

joso

me too, and game cons, the one i was involved organizing for a few years is ad astra, another toronto based con.

7:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm not a trekker, never been to any con that was trek-focused, but i do like voyager

7:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

here in the Detroit suburbs we have a semi-annual comic con, very well run, with a comic focus, but tons of other stuff, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, movies, lots of guest actors, writers, etc

7:01 pm

joso

british sf has always been a fav of mine, wyndham, hoyle, just found 2 old edmund cooper books in the local goodwill today

7:08 pm

joso

what type of non fiction, i enjoy history but mostly pick it up from games and historical fiction. 4 times out of 5 when I pick up an actual history book I find the author can not write

7:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

72 Temple Owl

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

is she still here?

7:55 pm

MollyL

Who me?

7:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

yeah, you! :P

7:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see you are ready for tomorrow. that photo was taken by the papter in my home town.

7:57 pm

MollyL

Over the past five years, so many people have said to me "oh yeah, I forgot about September 11th". I find that incredibly sad.

7:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i may just fly my flag and liht my candle tomorrow night on the porch.

7:58 pm

MollyL

I fly the flag every year on September 11th.

7:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have some icons but i find them incredibly sad.

8:06 pm

MollyL

It is a bittersweet thing to remember. What makes our country great is how we stand, in the face of adversity. That is what I remember.

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. but listening to tonightt' address, i resent those people and our seemingly neverending involvement in their morass.

8:10 pm

MollyL

Oh don't get me wrong. I meant standing in the face of adversity to our country. We no longer have any business in the problems of other countries. And yet, our "leaders" keep taking us there.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is just too easy now. just push a button. no blood on their hands.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i digress. i would love to finish, need a clue for he6/21 that is not a legal te4

8:12 pm

MollyL

They are both legal terms.

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have tried the in, at, and of.

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck.

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

but not the one i just tried, ty. fw

8:13 pm

MollyL

Well done, TO.

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. i hate it that assad is threatening us. he is backing us into a corner. i truly think one cannot predict how a president will act, until he is faced with the reality of the job, i rather think those who voted for this one do not think they are getting what they signed up for.

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

but do we ever?

8:24 pm

rururocks

we don't seem to learn how to stay out of other people's business

8:25 pm

MollyL

And now the "weapons of mass destruction" thing works?

8:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

goodnight

8:27 pm

rururocks

I wish we never did Iraq.. and i have problems with Afghanistan too

8:27 pm

MollyL

Goodnight TO. And oh hell no, the people who voted for this president are not getting what they signed up for. Not at all.

8:27 pm

rururocks

good night TO

8:27 pm

rururocks

good night TO

8:29 pm

MollyL

And now, I'm sure it's time to change the subject to something "pleasant" like puppies, kitties or the weather.

8:30 pm

rururocks

they're gassing puppies and kittens in Syria?

8:31 pm

MollyL

Ssshh...the pleasant lovers won't like that.

8:31 pm

torgone

Global warming means more puppies and kitties will suffer ..

8:32 pm

rururocks

8:32 pm

rururocks

8:32 pm

MollyL

The global will warms them and they will all fry.
AHHHHHH!!!!

8:33 pm

rururocks

8:33 pm

MollyL

Oh wait, it's "climate change" now.

8:34 pm

rururocks

or whatever Al says

8:38 pm

MollyL

The world is going to melt...or freeze...or something...please panic now.

8:39 pm

rururocks

*thinks about poor scrabbler stirring up dust in her snowshoes

8:40 pm

rururocks

haz will have to have her tea parties outside now

8:41 pm

rururocks

Aloy will have to move to Alaska

8:41 pm

MollyL

Outside? When the sky is falling? Yikes!

8:41 pm

rururocks

Mimi Cat will really be in Hell

8:42 pm

rururocks

Can you imagine Phoenix with global warming?

8:42 pm

rururocks

yikes

8:43 pm

MollyL

We're doomed!

8:44 pm

rururocks

golf courses will be endless sandtraps

8:45 pm

MollyL

Hell, the whole world will be a burning, miserable hell.

8:46 pm

rururocks

.. if my mom has just used less hairspray.. damn

8:47 pm

MollyL

Yeah, well no one knew about a carbon footprint and being "green" back then. Woe is us.

8:52 pm

rururocks

sounds like a Neil Young Song

9:01 pm

MollyL

She used her hairspray and
The air got bad
Global warming's made
The world get sad
Gone, gone, the damage done
