grannyrose

i am so worried for her.

3:32 am

read it. How terrible. Will pray for her!

3:35 am

sprite

I wonder if her lifting all those heavy food bags has caused it. She said then that she was in pain, though it went away after a good rest.

3:37 am

grannyrose

sprite, 7 hours is a long time to be in that sort of pain.

3:38 am

sprite

I know. I hope she followed your advice and got help. Not sure if she is insured for medical help?

grannyrose

3:42 am

sprite

3:43 am

3:45 am

sprite

3:45 am

grannyrose

3:53 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o

3:54 am

Lizlin

Well, hopefully that's sorted and I've just updated my computer contacts book (hopefully) - it was duplicating like mad!

3:54 am

sprite

cockalorum = braggadocio :D
Hi o-o

3:55 am

Lizlin

But I'm also keeping my old address active for games like babble etc.

3:55 am

o-o

no people like that here.

3:55 am

gapeach

Just about ready to hang it up and saw Lickety had posted his list. May I please have a clue for any 'sa' word? Thanks

3:56 am

Lizlin

3:59 am

sprite

4:01 am

gapeach

Early on, pug was in pain......has anyone heard from her?

4:01 am

Lizlin

Only what was posted a few minutes ago by Rose.

4:01 am

sprite

not yet, peach. Rose has more or less ordered her to get emergency help.

4:02 am

gapeach

Yes, that is good. I'm sending positive energy to her and to those who are helping her.

4:03 am

sprite

good one, indeed

4:04 am

gapeach

I just checked to see if Nef is on, but isn't. She is good to send Reiki prayers and energy. Any kind of prayer will do.

4:04 am

Lizlin

I'm sure all who know her and have read this are sending positive vibes to her - in whatever form they feel comfortable with.

4:05 am

sprite

ok. Reiki works, I know that. And every kind of positive vibe does, actually, it is true.

4:05 am

Lizlin

This grid is a real challenge for me!

5:47 am

Trifioso

molly, coffee is lovely, thanks!

5:48 am

MollyL

It's not just a teacher hazard. My internal alarm seems to not recognize the term "weekend".

5:48 am

Trifioso

good to know!

5:48 am

Trifioso

my dog refuses to acknowledge daylight savings time. sunday is going to be fun

5:48 am

MollyL

And that's okay, I love early morning.

Trifioso

its my daughters dog, actually

5:51 am

MollyL

: D No wonder you have been telling Car not to get a puppy

5:51 am

Trifioso

dont even get me started on THAT one

5:52 am

Trifioso

to be fair, in the end it is her decision, and I will support her in it, as sisters do

5:54 am

MollyL

I'm sure you will, you seem like a very fair person.

5:55 am

Trifioso

I just worry about car. she has SO MUCH stress in her life. I worry she is taking on too much

5:55 am

Trifioso

she is a very, very important person to me

5:55 am

MollyL

I figured that was it and a puppy is a lot of work.

5:56 am

Soodle

Sorry to hear that Trif. Sisters are hugely important. I only have one, but she means the world to me.

5:56 am

MollyL

Speaking of dogs, I hear what's his name is out of the doghouse. (If he can't get your name right, I won't get his right either) : D

5:56 am

Trifioso

it was a doozy, soodle, but all is well now.

5:58 am

MollyL

Actually, I think you should start calling him by your ex's name until he rids himself of that nasty habit. But I am evil, you know.

5:59 am

Trifioso

I am evil too - I absolutely considered it.

5:59 am

Soodle

Oh my. I'm getting a flavour of the doozy.... Terribly annoying, but understandable. (I've done it myself).

6:00 am

Trifioso

to be fair, valentine has been sick since feb 7, so he isn't at his best. he just cant get his feet under him again, and nothing they have tried seemed to be clearing his lungs. that has got to be draining.

6:00 am

MollyL

*Gets out Soodle's memory meds* Soodle, you were in on the conversation about that doozy.

6:02 am

Soodle

Aha! Its coming back to me now. I've been going around in a bit of a daze lately. I scare myself sometimes.

6:02 am

Trifioso

if you gals saw the letters combos I try in my desperate efforts to gets fireworks, you would put me in the PB permanently

6:03 am

Trifioso

and for the record, I don't plan on storing the tiff valentine and I had in the memory banks. in fact, let's all agree to forget it, eh?

6:03 am

Soodle

Attagirl, Trif!

6:05 am

Trifioso

it is absolutely a conscious decision I made post divorce. Mr. Hate and I got into a terrible pattern of dinging on each other towards the end. I am NEVER going to let that happen again. I'm not "tra la la rose colored glasses" -- far from it. If I am having an real issue with Valentine he is told, but not in a peevish, naggy way. Well, mostly not. Have dropped my basket once or twice, I am a human after all....

6:05 am

Trifioso

But I really, really do try

6:08 am

6:35 am

Anniebrook

I saw it in the post office

6:36 am

MollyL

Ruby, seriously, my accountant friend says there is no tax problem that can't be fixed. You just need the right tax attorney.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

The Fr say that tthey wi not allow me to be extradite, but thr US lawyer s say it's posdible

6:37 am

rubyfoo

I am beside mysekf

6:37 am

MollyL

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you are dealing with US Tax law and French attorneys. That cold be part of the problem.

6:37 am

Uneaixoise

just entering the chog . . . OMG, Ruby, what's going on??

6:38 am

Anniebrook

I read somewhere that you can negotiate the amount owed to the IRS way down.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I ruly don't know what more I can do

6:38 am

rubyfoo

Je suis desesperee

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

what's happened? do you owe back taxes??

6:40 am

MollyL

Too bad we can't sick the media on this. IRS picking on poor little ex pat in France and all that.

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

will someone tell me in a nutshell what's happened?

6:42 am

rubyfoo

I thought my US layers could do that, but I t hasn't happened

6:42 am

Anniebrook

I believe ruby and her husband got bad advice and now are in a pickle re: taxex

6:43 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, when did you find out there was a problem?

6:44 am

MollyL

This is probably a dumb question, but why would someone owe US tax if they live in another country?

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

taxes on property still held in US?

6:45 am

MollyL

US generated pension?

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Yu at all wonderfully supportive. My friend I Chicago said I should writ my story for the media but, even if I got paid, it wud be less than thyey'r e asking for

TThis sit I a blessing

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I can't talk about it elsewhere

6:48 am

Uneaixoise

what are family members saying about it? can they help stateside?

6:48 am

Anniebrook

ruby, can it be worked out where you pay in increments because the lawyer fees are eating up what you can pay back

6:51 am

BRB . . .

7:00 am

Sounds like an awful situation Ruby..I am sorry. I assume the US tax people want your french house? Perhaps some-one can make them understand that your husband is failing health-wise and it would make his decline even faster if they insist on further immediate action. At least that might buy you some time

7:02 am

rubyfoo

ty lynx. They think that because I signed papers. I a as guilty as sin.

7:03 am

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone

7:04 am

Anniebrook

7:04 am

lynxxx

hi TOwl

7:05 am

72 Temple Owl

hi annie, lynn.

7:05 am

lynxxx

sounds like you need some new US lawyers to plead your case and make the US tax people understand your current situation - time you use Burts age as well as your own to its full advantage

7:06 am

rubyfoo

The problem is that I could live another 25 yrs if thi problem doesn't kill me.

7:06 am

Anniebrook

and you can say you were duped or did not have full knowledge of what you were signing. You signed on the advice of others.

7:07 am

lynxxx

exactly Annie

7:08 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, they see me as guilty and don't are about our ages.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I have aged 10 years or maybe 20, ssince 2006

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I trusted my husbnak nevet thiking that he qoud b duped

7:10 am

Anniebrook

just a thought, can you come back to the US and go to the IRS with a tax lawyer and plead your case, sick husband, no knowledge of, etc...

7:10 am

rubyfoo

would be

7:10 am

rubyfoo

I'm araid that if I go back to the US, they will put me I prison

7:10 am

Anniebrook

no, they wont

7:11 am

Anniebrook

ask your lawyer about being arrested

7:11 am

MollyL

Ruby, have you asked JMC about this. She is a tax attorney.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

I think they will nullify my passport

7:12 am

lynxxx

I am not sure Ruby would be able to leave her husband for any extended time either

7:12 am

rubyfoo

My to US law firms have seen MT as a hot prospect and I've pain the a fortune

7:13 am

rubyfoo

two*

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I am reluctant to ask for help I here

7:15 am

rubyfoo

th US layer says I could be etraited but the Frlawyers sy that is ridiculou,

7:15 am

lynxxx

I understand that Ruby..but perhaps tomorrow afetr a good nights sleep you could write to JMC outlining the background and ask her for a recommendation to some-one

7:19 am

rubyfoo

Than you all for being here for this tale of woe.

7:20 am

rubyfoo

I am embarrassed and ashemaed

7:21 am

lynxxx

I've got to go. Be thinking of you Ruby. Remember there is nearly always another way to resolve a problem.

7:22 am

lynxxx

and pfft to being embarassed and ashamed - you are not the first of us to get into bad financial difficulties. xx

7:22 am

rubyfoo

{{{{lyynxx{{

7:25 am

MollyL

Ruby, you have nothing to be ashamed about. And think about it this way, the IRS would much rather have monthly payments from you than to put you in jail. There is a solution to this, I'm sure of it.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

My son agrees. But even with a monthly ,payment that would exceed all that's left

7:34 am

Soodle

Ruby. I know you see your situation as desperate. However, you are allowing yourself to imagine worst case scenarios - extradition, passport withheld, prison etc. you must stop focusing on what MAY happen. I think an email to JMC would be very worthwhile.

7:35 am

crosshair

ruby: I have spoken with JMC in the past. Do not be afraid or ashamed to bounce your problem off of her. she is a wonderful person

7:37 am

crosshair

and as molly say, no matter what, judges will ALWAYS listen to payment options based on income

7:39 am

Anniebrook

The IRS wants their money so they will make a payment plan with you. ruby is not going to trial so a judge is not involved.

7:41 am

Soodle

And, from personal experience, I found that if you say 'OK. This is what I have. I can afford to pay you X percentage of that, they will agree. X percent is far preferable than nothing

7:41 am

Soodle

Shocking grammar there. Apologies. :-)

once, years ago, ruby, I owed the got 10k, which meant it was the perfect time to lose my current job due to downsizing. I told those who were to decide my fate that I could not afford the $800.00 a month that was initially demanded and would have to make other payment arrangements until someone chose to hire me once again. They asked me what I could afford to pay per month and I said "twenty-five dollars" " it is either that or I declare bankruptcy, and you fight with the rest of the creditors for scraps" They took my offer.

11:09 am

Jillyjill

Doing pretty good nef, has had several panic attacks thinking she was having a stroke. Went to her MD appointment with her. Doc has her figured out as far as personality goes.

11:10 am

Jillyjill

mlf...think of the big multipassenger autos with garish paintings on the outside...or a delivery va*.

11:10 am

Nef

Wonderful! :-D That always helps when the doc can figure out how a person thinks (especially a (shall I say) stubborn older person.

11:11 am

MLFAN17

jilly yes i go the first three letters of it

11:11 am

Jillyjill

LOL...she was trying to get him to tell her she didn't need to check her BG cuz she can no longer see the numbers...then turns around and asks if she reallly has to use a med box...yah, that went well...was hard not to laugh!

11:12 am

Jillyjill

Nef

MLF, add the person who drives that vehicle

11:14 am

Jillyjill

hi flosey!!

11:14 am

MLFAN17

hi flosey

11:14 am

Nef

Jilly, that sounds like a couple of older relatives of ours! (I probably would have laughed!)

11:14 am

flosey

was out for a few minutes

11:14 am

Nef

hi flosey. How are you today?

11:15 am

flosey

very good thanks Nef - have enjoyed 2 nights in a row of 7 hours sleep

11:16 am

Nef

BTW, my chain link fence is growing! ;-) (It's been covered with snow for the past couple of weeks and we finally have above zero temps here, so the snow is settling

11:16 am

flosey

rare for me

11:16 am

Jillyjill

Okay, half way. Need to head out. Son and I are going to Missoula looking for a used car for him. See you all tonight and have a GREAT day all!! Yay for Saturdays!!

11:16 am

MLFAN17

flosey isnt it wonderful to get almost 8 hrs of sleep for more then one night in a row!:)

11:16 am

Nef

flosey, that sounds good. I take it that doesn't happen often?

11:16 am

flosey

wow, where are you Nef, that's a lot of snow

11:16 am

MLFAN17

Bye jilly thanks and have fun!

11:17 am

Nef

Good luck on the car hunt, Jilly

11:17 am

flosey

mlf, sure is, I've always been a night owl - but realizing I can't do it anymore - trying to get to bed by 11: - we'll see how long it lasts

11:17 am

Nef

I'm in the Twin Cities (MPLS/St. Paul), Minnesota

11:22 am

Nef

humph! Babble won't take pains. It's both a medical term and also Latin. Darn Enable..

11:23 am

flosey

ah, I believe we drove through top part of Minnesota coming from Sault Ste Marie - would that be right?

11:24 am

flosey

so you are in the snow belt

11:24 am

Nef

yes; if you took Highway 2, which is a major road up there

11:24 am

Nef

LOL! Very much so; especially this year! :-)

11:26 am

flosey

that was 52 years ago! in later years we drove across Canada - Sask. is HOT in summer

11:27 am

Nef

LOL! Aren't you glad that cars now have A/C?

11:27 am

flosey

that's for sure

11:28 am

Nef

My first 4 cars were all new, none of them had A/C except as an add-on extra expense

11:28 am

flosey

now living on west coast - much milder temps that Toronto

11:29 am

Nef

As funny as it sounds, MPLS/St. Paul is further north than Toronto; so I believe it has a milder climate.

11:30 am

flosey

ah yes, took us 2 days to drive to Sault Ste. Marie

11:30 am

Nef

(Toronto has the milder climate I mean)

11:31 am

flosey

ah, so you have very hot summers?

11:34 am

Nef

My sister & I drove over the Great lakes (through Canada) going out to Rhode Island to see another sister back in 1971; and we returned driving south of them coming back. I much preferred most of the Canadian drive (except by Sudbury, which looked like a wasteland back then due to pollution)

11:35 am

flosey

yes, Sudbury is not a pleasant drive

11:36 am

Nef

Yes, we have hot summers too. Yesterday I saw a picture of someones digital thermometer and it showed a 104 degree (F) temp difference from August here

11:36 am

flosey

wow, that's too hot for me

11:39 am

flosey

FW, last word was the first on the list, an5/10

11:39 am

Nef

The extreme heat only lasts about a week; and the extreme cold usually only lasts about 2 weeks

11:40 am

Nef

YAY, flosey!!! WTG!!!!

11:40 am

flosey

so, as in Toronto, we just learn to deal with excessive heat and cold, that's life eh!

11:41 am

flosey

thanks, now off to get the paper (end of our long lane)

11:41 am

flosey

bb at 10: tonight - for 1 hour, new bedtime 11 pm

11:42 am

Nef

Pretty much. But this year has tested our patience (52 days of below zero (F) weather ---so far; and 65 inches of snow (that didn't melt)

11:53 am

flosey

wow Nef - hope you have a good summer after enduring that winter

11:54 am

Nef

LOL! I had a phone call as I posted that; I thought you'd already left! HAGD, flossy; and good luck with your new bedtime!

11:54 am

Nef

and thanks, I do too!

12:32 pm

Nef

12:32 pm

Nef

12:32 pm

12:33 pm

car.eeyore

Cos..dog or cat?

12:34 pm

Nef

12:34 pm

cosdem

12:34 pm

MollyL

It's New Dog City around here lately

12:34 pm

car.eeyore

I could use a little order to my life!

12:35 pm

car.eeyore

Well, Cos, i wish you best of luck. And you are right, you will know him/her when you see him/her!

12:35 pm

Nef

my aunt had a border collie and she kept trying to wind herself around everyone's legs to "herd" us where she wanted us. (I thought she was dangerous for a woman in her 90's at the time!)

12:36 pm

car.eeyore

Well, we will be doing professional training with this little guy, so we will do our best to avoid that.

12:37 pm

Nef

BTW, car.ee, I love your quote today! :-) I try to follow that rule too

12:37 pm

MollyL

Is professional training expensive?

12:37 pm

car.eeyore

Which quote? On FB?

12:37 pm

car.eeyore

Yes, but well worth it. My stepmom is also an excellent resourse for training and I will be working with her as well.

4:35 pm

jesdraggon

though Gregory Maguire did do an excellent Cinderella re-write from the step-sister's perspective. I actually liked it better than Wicked, even though Wicked was the one that hit Broadway.

4:35 pm

cosdem

I loved Wicked but didnt like confessions of a stepsister

4:35 pm

MollyL

Oh, I misunderstood. Cinderella's step-sisters always seemed like the wicked characters in that sotry.

7:11 pm

jesdraggon

howdy crossy - home made bacon is not like store bacon! it is more like the best seasoned ham ever.

7:12 pm

crosshair

mmmm,droool

7:12 pm

crosshair

a real good home done bacon often comes out more like a peameal type anyways

7:13 pm

jesdraggon

peameal?

7:13 pm

crosshair

you call it Canadian bacon, you know the log style instead of the traditional streaky type?

7:14 pm

crosshair

now I am hungry:)

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

ah. never heard peameal before. no, this wasn't like that, more like what i've seen called country bacon

7:15 pm

crosshair

anything we do in the log style we call peameal simply because after preperaring and smoking etc, the entire thing is coated with peameal

7:16 pm

crosshair

no matter, it is all good stuff

7:17 pm

MollyL

Yes Jes, it is like country bacon, or the "looks like ham slices' that we call Canadian bacon. The peameal stuff is something very different.

7:17 pm

jesdraggon

ahahahahahaa. i was looking for pictures of country bacon, and found a website called bacontoday.com. bacon recipes, bacon reviews, bacon DESSERTS!

7:17 pm

crosshair

language barrier lol:)

There isn't any "meal" on any of the bacon we have here in the good ole US.

7:19 pm

crosshair

each to their own I always say

7:21 pm

Each to their own indeed. We just don't have that kind of bacon here. Everybody love the bacon you're with.

9:21 pm

9:21 pm

phandmd

hope everyone is well.

9:25 pm

Minveryork

I map quested my address to a mall in Somerset NJ and I'm 2hrs and minutes away.Not too far,but would have to get a hotel and stay over night. I would love to go!

9:25 pm

welki

i'm staying in a hotel, jmc is staying with me and owl might be taking a room, too

9:26 pm

Minveryork

Meant to say I'm 2 hours&9 minutes away from Somerset

9:26 pm

welki

most places in ny are less than 3 hours away :)

9:27 pm

Minveryork

What hotel are you staying at? How far are you driving?

9:27 pm

welki

me? i'm flying in from canada, min. the hotel is the somerset doubletree

9:28 pm

Minveryork

Oh wow!You're REALLY making an effort to attend welki!

9:29 pm

welki

... if i was driving, it would be about 2400 miles :)

9:29 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for letting me know. I will have to discuss with my hubby. I am sure he'll have something to say about it.

9:30 pm

welki

you missed last year's because you didn't think he would approve - it's all women, what's the problem?

9:31 pm

welki

ha! hotel's got wifi - you can carry him around on your laptop on skype :)

9:32 pm

Minveryork

The fact that I'm meeting a bunch of "strangers" and I'm staying in hotel with'em. He wouldn't approve of it at all.

9:33 pm

welki

i hope you can work around his paranoia, would be nice to meet you face to face :)

9:33 pm

Minveryork

U guys have this meet-up In Somerset every single year?

9:34 pm

welki

second year, hopefully a regular, annual get together

9:34 pm

Minveryork

It has been my life-long dream to attend a babble meetup

9:35 pm

welki

min, we're all professional women, and older than you - no danger in this crowd

9:35 pm

Minveryork

I would love to get my sister-in-law to go with me. She is a closet babbler. Does not really babble much any more.

9:36 pm

Minveryork

What time are all the babblers getting there on Saturday

9:38 pm

Minveryork

Are there still pictures on FaceBook of last year's babble meet so I can show my husband who I would be meeting?

9:38 pm

welki

i think we'll try to meet at the hotel bar at around 6, decide what to do for supper (probably hotel restaurant) - and then just have a blast getting to know each other. some might bring scrabble boards, everyone should bring bathing suits, hotel has a beautiful pool and jacuzzi

9:38 pm

welki

no idea, min

9:41 pm

welki

nrkii, hego and her husband have prior commitments this year - they were there last year

9:44 pm

welki

(email on the way to you, min)

9:46 pm

hi minver

9:57 pm

Minveryork

I wish you were going to this babble meetup. I would love to meet you rururocks!

9:58 pm

welki

only in the dark, ru -- only in the dark

9:58 pm

rururocks

I will meet you someday Minver.. I come to Long Island a few times a year. Coming this spring in fact

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

not me, ru. I look like audrey hepburn, but I won't be making the gathering either....

9:59 pm

rururocks

aw

9:59 pm

rururocks

aw

9:59 pm

rururocks

Well I look like Kurt Russell so

9:59 pm

Minveryork

Oh really, rururocks? Please let me know if you can fit it in your schedule for a little mini-meetup on Long Island.

10:00 pm

Jillyjill

Well, didn't think I'd be getting back to this so late. But had a fun day in Missoula with my son, just the two of us. We can get into so much trouble...

10:00 pm

rururocks

sure Min.. I will be visiting my friends in Syossett.. he just opened up a new store downtown

10:00 pm

Minveryork

I look like Julia Roberts......

10:00 pm

welki

lol - your husband would approve of you meeting ru, a strange MAN, all by yourself?

10:00 pm

Minveryork

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

Kurt Russell? hmm. I've always envisioned you more as a Donald Sutherland type.

10:00 pm

rururocks

how do you get in trouble in Missoula

10:00 pm

welki

jilly, did you find a car for him?

10:01 pm

welki

and i pictured bob newhart - go figure

10:01 pm

rururocks

no..picture Kurt Russell with a bigger butt :D

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

it is perhaps not my place to say, minver, but i rather disapprove of all the disapproval your husband seems to do...

10:01 pm

Minveryork

Oh no, I am sure he would have to escort me. I will make him go visit his mother or somebody else that weekend.

10:02 pm

rururocks

well ... first of all minver.. I'm not strange

10:02 pm

Jillyjill

Found a nice little '02 Subaru, but he may have trouble financing it; no current job, hired for work in Yellowstone in April. But still iffy whether he really needs another car

10:02 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

10:02 pm

rururocks

*note to jes* Kinky doesn't count as strange :D

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

oh, of course not. it'd be downright abnormal to find someone who didn't have at least a little kink somewhere.

10:03 pm

welki

why is he so nervous, min? is it a cultural thing?

10:03 pm

rururocks

bob Newhart? Are you kidding me?

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Hi minv, I am great, how are you?

10:03 pm

Minveryork

I disapprove of all of his disapproval also, but I guess it is his way of showing that he cares about me & my safety.

10:04 pm

welki

what's wrong with bob newhart? he's smart, he's funny

10:04 pm

rururocks

he sounds like a putz minver

10:04 pm

rururocks

Newhart is totally nerdy looking

10:04 pm

Minveryork

Well....yeah, that too!

10:05 pm

welki

*shrug* he looks okay to me

10:05 pm

rururocks

Newhart would drive a Toyota corolla not an R8 :D

10:05 pm

welki

ohhh, sweetheart, we don't know what's under those tweeds

10:05 pm

joso

I'm with welkie, his old standup routins are increadible

10:06 pm

Minveryork

Watching news about missing plane in Beijing. So so sad!

10:07 pm

phandmd

have they found the plane yet?

10:07 pm

Jillyjill

Kinda scary since Rows may take a job in Kuala Lampur

10:08 pm

rururocks

Kuala Lampur is a long way from China

10:08 pm

rururocks

isn't it?

10:08 pm

welki

ru, i'm a gramma - totally unnerved the car salesman when i (1) knew how to drive a standard and (2) showed him what torque really feels like

10:08 pm

Jillyjill

The flight was from there

10:08 pm

rururocks

oh

10:09 pm

rururocks

wanna test drive my new car?

10:09 pm

Minveryork

I do not believe that they have found the airplane yet.

10:09 pm

welki

flight was from kuala lumpur to beijing - lost contact with plane as it was over viet nam. they've found some oil slicks indicative of a crash

10:10 pm

welki

ru, i would love to drive it, whatever you decide on

10:10 pm

phandmd

:(

10:10 pm

rururocks

I heard the pilot's name was Wi Tu Lo.. is there any truth to that?\

10:10 pm

Jillyjill

That's what son an d I did all day...test drives...sure ruru, I 'm all warmed up!

10:10 pm

welki

china, the phillipipines and vietnam coordinated air and sea reconnaissance in a joint effort to try and find the plane

10:11 pm

Jillyjill

We have a naval carrier on the way as well

10:11 pm

welki

the news said 227 people aboard, including 3 americans and 3 canadians

10:11 pm

welki

2 canadians

10:12 pm

welki

seeing the photos of families waiting for word was heart wrenching

10:12 pm

rururocks

plane crashes have a habit of not working out well for the relatives

10:13 pm

Minveryork

I think that there were 5 children on board the plane too

10:13 pm

welki

true enough - and there were babies on board :(

10:18 pm

welki

just read that two people on the plane were using stolen passports - not good.

10:23 pm

Jillyjill

That's pretty disturbing...especially since those passports were stolen more than a year ago. With all this security, one would think it would trigger something

10:25 pm

welki

i don't get it either. a couple of months ago, a young man got through airport security here with a pipe bomb. and THEN was allowed to continue on his flight!

10:26 pm

Jillyjill

And old people with hip replacements get frisked...

10:26 pm

Minveryork

So what was the reason for letting him to continue flight

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

because TSA is a poorly thought out joke, and does nothing to actually increase security. Though I'm not sure we can blame this incident on TSA, since the flight wasn't US origin and I have no idea what security was where it was boarded.

10:27 pm

welki

happened in edmonton - why? i have no idea.
http://tinyurl.com/k58fy38

10:28 pm

welki

worst thing is that the security guy tried to GIVE IT BACK to the kid!

10:29 pm

welki

to his (minimal) credit, the boy wouldn't take it back

10:33 pm

Jillyjill

ti6 clue plz?

10:34 pm

welki

more than one of a wizard of oz character

10:34 pm

Jillyjill

ty welki...LOL another one with that ending

10:35 pm

Minveryork

A ti6/21 word is the name of a Danny Devito and Richard Dreyfuss movie Jillyjill.
