dcseain

For people not on FB, uusue has posted a good-bye -- her cancer battle is not going well, and she's prepping for hospice.

12:40 am

dcseain

that said, hello, yall

12:41 am

rururocks

goodbye for her husband?

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry to hear that, dc.

12:41 am

rururocks

oh how sad

12:41 am

dcseain

no.

12:42 am

rururocks

what?

12:42 am

rururocks

her cancer battle?

12:42 am

meliae

Oh man :(

12:43 am

dcseain

no, you're right., Frank, not her.

12:43 am

dcseain

"So, it is,probably time to let everyone know what is happening. My cancer is progressing rapidly. There are no good treatment options. I may have weeks, or even days. We would like to stabilize me enough to get me home and in hospice. But the options there are limited. Please don't be too sorry for me. I had a six to eight month diagnosis in November 2012 - and fought it off for more than three years. Pretty good innings. I do not have FB access on my cell any more (tech toys die also) but me be,able to respond on Suzanne ' phone. So please be tolerant if I am slow in replying. Love you all and will miss you. Or not, depending on what surprise is awaiting."

12:44 am

dcseain

sorry, i've had a very distracting day.

12:44 am

rururocks

holy shit you scared the crap out of me DC

12:44 am

dcseain

it's been hard to keep track of all the cancers among those i know.

12:45 am

rururocks

Frank has fought a valiant battle. I'm glad they had time together. Cancer .. I hate it

12:47 am

dcseain

indeed.

12:47 am

flosey

so agree, ru, even for survivors, it has taken so much away from them

12:51 am

dcseain

wow, the J is easy today.

12:51 am

flosey

but I am sorry to hear this from you DC, you add so much to our game here with pleasant comments, etc. wish you comfort in whatever you will be facing

12:52 am

dcseain

Thank you. I just happen to be at the point in life where many a horrid thing can happen. My father fell ill at 38 and died at 41, for example.

12:53 am

dcseain

oh, the cat is exploring there because i emptied a box and new things are visible.

2:19 am

sprite

hahahaha oh I know that feeling! I have that with orient. Always look for it, and always it is a phantom... and than that one time it isn't a phantom, I miss it.

2:20 am

sprite

antisore - not into pain

2:21 am

Lizlin

Back again - if you noticed I disappeared - Skype call.

2:22 am

sprite

missed you but didn't know if you had left or were just busy finding words

2:23 am

Lizlin

I'd probably have said if I'd left but Skype then was unexpected but good.

2:23 am

grannyrose

or antirose, not into grannyr...

2:23 am

Lizlin

Not possible!

2:24 am

Lizlin

BTW Rose - did you see on jigidi - someone wanted to know if your flowers were photoshopped?

2:24 am

grannyrose

i missed you darling liz. kept checking to see if you were still on-line. may i ask who you were talking to?

2:24 am

Lizlin

Stepson and gf

2:25 am

grannyrose

omg. liz, really?? they were just cut from the bushes and plonked in a vase.

2:25 am

sprite

hey, nobody is allowed to not be into grannyr.

2:25 am

Lizlin

I decided not to reply to that comment - thought I'd leave it to you.

2:26 am

Lizlin

antiperson - a hermit?

2:26 am

sprite

I like it! In it goes...

2:28 am

Lizlin

The film was excellent. We all really enjoyed it.

2:28 am

2:29 am

Lizlin

Saw the Danish Girl. Had spiced dahl with roti, yoghurt and sesame cucumber.

2:30 am

sprite

yeah it is a bit odd to go watch a movie in the morning.

2:30 am

Lizlin

Thought I told you, rose, in the email I sent yesterday.

2:30 am

Lizlin

Still, it's about being social, so that makes up for it.

2:30 am

sprite

ouch! Watch where you put those pointy things, rose! Jeez!

2:30 am

grannyrose

2:31 am

2:31 am

Lizlin

You tell me! Did you see the email I sent?

2:31 am

sprite

2:31 am

Lizlin

Last time I had porcini risotto - also yummy.

2:31 am

sprite

2:40 am

grannyrose

2:40 am

Lizlin

Blowing came into it somewhere.

2:40 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a good day Rose

2:40 am

2:40 am

grannyrose

roflolol, sprite!!! i would never do that...*collapses in a fit of giggles*

2:40 am

sprite

2:41 am

Lizlin

More storms forecast here - which will probably continue to miss us just leaving the humidity.

2:41 am

grannyrose

hmmmm... suck.....oh, no, better not go there....LOLOLOL

2:42 am

Lizlin

;)

2:42 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:42 am

sprite

ugh Liz, that is the worst

2:42 am

Lizlin

It's been like this for a week now - bored with that. Still good for sorting out ebooks! lol

2:43 am

Lizlin

Rose I heard that the weather is awful in Melbourne.

2:44 am

sprite

true, Liz! Let me know if the new way of exporting them makes for easier sorting for you

2:44 am

grannyrose

liz, it has been. today a gorgeous mild day. very nice.

2:45 am

Lizlin

It's good, Sprite - have done the Pern ones. Though I changed the whole system there - double numbered for reading order and chronology! You made me think about that.

2:45 am

sprite

oh, awesome, Liz! Yes that is how I would number them too.

2:46 am

grannyrose

oh, and after having the A/C on for the beginning of the week, we had the heater on for thursady andfriday and part of saturday. go figure!!

2:46 am

Lizlin

So something like McC 01 14chron!!!!!

2:46 am

Lizlin

i was told loads of storms

2:47 am

sprite

not a lot of re again words today

2:47 am

grannyrose

most of the storms missed us but last night was the exception.

2:47 am

sprite

that is crazy weather alright, rose

2:47 am

Lizlin

Lucky you - where stepson is, they've had loads of rain.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Mind you that's true for large areas here - just not us!

2:48 am

Lizlin

Which gave me another grid word I'd not seen.

2:48 am

sprite

hehehe good for you

2:49 am

Lizlin

Only ar4 - not even a toughie.

2:49 am

sprite

hah, found my last biggie.

2:49 am

grannyrose

i know liz. with the enormous distances in ozland, storms can hit next door but leave you dry as a chip.

2:49 am

Lizlin

I've only got one 8

2:49 am

sprite

well vowel words are always kinda tough, Liz

2:49 am

Lizlin

You get so word blind playing this sometimes.

2:50 am

sprite

oh yes! Babble blindness, a real phenomenon.

2:51 am

grannyrose

hmmm just heard a sound in the kitchen i didn't recognise. think i should check? don is out there getting dinner ready.

2:52 am

Lizlin

Hubby's just gone to sort out some salmon for dinner.

2:52 am

grannyrose

no screams... i guess all is okay

2:52 am

sprite

nah leave him to it. If he is doing well, he will resent the suggestion he did something wrong. And if he did something wrong, he will resent you checking up on him.

2:53 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* you are so right sprite

2:53 am

sprite

*grins* got one of 'm guys myself

2:53 am

Lizlin

Beautiful dusk time red clouds outside!

2:54 am

sprite

oh that is always so delightful, Liz.

2:54 am

grannyrose

awww liz. so lovely

2:54 am

Lizlin

No real dusk here. Gets dark very quickly.

2:55 am

Lizlin

In fact clouds have faded now.

2:55 am

grannyrose

i love sunsets. my dad used to glory in them, bless him.

2:55 am

sprite

yeah that would be odd for me. I am used to slow sunsets and such.

2:55 am

sprite

my love and I both do too, rose

2:55 am

Lizlin

I know I've said it before - I really miss long, light evenings.

2:56 am

sprite

I hear ya, Liz. I would too if I lived where you do. Mind, the rest of it should make up for it for me :)

2:56 am

Lizlin

Best sunsets I've seen have been on holiday in the Med, where the room faced west - watching the sun sink into the sea.

2:56 am

Lizlin

It does - you know I wouldn't move back.

2:57 am

sprite

I know. Hope you can enjoy the occasional sunset and long evenings when on holidays.

2:58 am

Lizlin

OK - guess I should go - salmon cooks pretty quickly, so I need to sort some stuff before dinner. Hugs to you both. And YES! I do when I'm in the UK.

2:58 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a lovely evening :) *hugs* to you both.

2:58 am

Lizlin

Almost dark now - that's how quick it changes.

2:59 am

grannyrose

enjoy your evening both of you, liz. xoxox

Morning! For the British amongst us - Terry Wogan - oh noooooo

5:19 am

Frances

Yes, I saw that matty - sad.

5:20 am

mattygroves

I did find it slightly amusing that the bbc's website saw fit to inform us he was a broadcaster. (For the Americans, that would be like having a notice that Walter Cronkite died and them telling us he was a news anchor - EVERYONE here knows who he is)

5:21 am

Frances

I thought that too.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

I think there have been the most deaths, famous people, musicians or not, this month, than in any January I can remember

5:22 am

mattygroves

May I have stat for any of the Js?

5:22 am

rubyfoo

"maudit janvier!"

mattygroves

Thanks Ruby - got 'em all now. Easier with the stats!

5:24 am

rubyfoo

and the gloomy, rainy weather is a good match.

5:26 am

Frances

Gloomy is right ruby. The clouds are crying and it is so cold.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

5:55 am

6:15 am

sukee

We are in a mid-January thaw here, going up to 7C today with RA 4/4.

6:18 am

6:19 am

sukee

6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:20 am

MollyL

Hail

6:20 am

lbdawger

I'm sorry for your loss, Sukee.

6:20 am

lbdawger

grauple, it's pea sized hail...more on the mini snowball size. we used to call it corn snow

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I think this is the most deaths, ever, this month. I'll be glad when it's over; maybe Spring will come

6:21 am

sukee

I know, it's been a tough one.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

were you close to him, Sukee?

6:22 am

sukee

Not really, he was closer to my older sister. I hadn't seen him in over 15 years.

6:22 am

sukee

We lived with them when we first moved to Canada. He was the last of his family.

Hey Scrabbler - I found it now - how are you doin' this Sunday afternoon (morning for you)?

7:52 am

Scrabbler

0851 here. Sipping green tea and Babbling. It is raining so I am grieving the loss of snow. The last 2 days were perfect for cross-country skiing. Now we have a warm spell until Thursday. Waaah.

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I bet you are about done with this grid.

7:53 am

mattygroves

It's cool (but not cold) and damp here...

Is the EP7 (and, for that matter, the in7 and 8) words I would use in my day to day conversation?

8:01 am

MollyL

Hard to tell with you Matty, but I don't think so for the ep. The in words, yes.

8:02 am

mattygroves

Hah! I'm not sure how to take that, Molly ;) (I am being somewhat factious there - I am, I think, flattered...)

8:04 am

Well, you often say that you are going to try to work the odd words here into a conversation.

My sister is now enjoying "Elizabeth Street."

hego

i finished it.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I read it in less than 3 days. Didn't you love it?

9:26 am

hego

Am now reading a non fiction on what makes things valuable. Called "Stoned"

9:27 am

hego

I may never feel the same way about my jewelry again.

9:27 am

hego

yes, Scrabs I did love it.

9:28 am

Scrabbler

I am reading Lynday Faye's "The Fatal Flame." Her 3rd book, historical fiction, on the formation of the NYPD in the mid 1840's.

I pre-order books from my favorite authors.

Her books look great.

Light reading, mysteries. but entertaining.

9:38 am

MLFAN17

never mind

9:38 am

hego

I like books set in England.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Me too.

9:39 am

Hego--Tana French is one of my favorite authors. She writes about the Dublin Murder Squad.

Ooo, I love sparkly stuff

9:44 am

hego

You should read that book, then.

9:44 am

MollyL

What book?

9:45 am

hego

Stoned. It's about why we value things.

9:45 am

MLFAN17

i have wr5 ending in e can i get a clue for the other wr5 please?

9:46 am

MollyL

No, I meant I like sparkly things like shoes with sequins and glitter

9:46 am

hego

I understood.

9:46 am

rururocks

I'm in a rock and a hard place about Stoned

9:47 am

MollyL

I just like them because they are sparkly, not because they are of any value

9:47 am

rururocks

<---not a glitter person

9:47 am

rururocks

or rhinestones

9:47 am

hego

But that adds to their value to you. It's just a concept.

9:48 am

hego

And explains a lot about the oil bust too.

9:48 am

MollyL

I find more value in a beautiful sunset than I do anything that costs money. I'm not a very monetary person.

9:48 am

hego

Imagining Ru decked out in rhinestones.

9:48 am

rururocks

I bought gas yesterday for $257 per gallon. I was shocked

9:48 am

MLFAN17

i like both

9:49 am

Trifioso

hello friends. TOTALLY ignoring reading a boring chapter today

9:49 am

rururocks

$2.57 that is

9:49 am

hego

If someone could make you pay for that sunset, they would.

9:49 am

MollyL

The lack of decimal point made that even more shocking

9:49 am

MLFAN17

hi trif

9:49 am

hego

Hi trif

9:49 am

Trifioso

my goodness ruru! were you shocked at how much that was, or how little?

9:50 am

MollyL

There are places here where gas is below $2.00 per gallon. Nice.

9:50 am

rururocks

how little

9:50 am

Trifioso

I paid $1.79 yesterday

9:50 am

hego

that is high, Ru, for right now.

9:50 am

MLFAN17

hego some years ago i was in florida on a beach at night. BIG HUGE moon looked like it was literally sitting on the water

9:50 am

rururocks

gas is super expensive in California more so than almost any other state

9:50 am

helensgirlkid

the other wr5 is the plural for something sort of bitter - singular is a three-letter word

9:50 am

therealblah

$1.57/gallon here for regular

9:50 am

hego

It's the taxes.

9:50 am

MLFAN17

hi helen

9:51 am

MLFAN17

hi blah

9:51 am

Scrabbler

I paid $1.40 last week at the Indian Reservation--no taxes so it is about 40 cents cheaper.

9:51 am

Trifioso

wow. what a huge discrepancy

9:51 am

MollyL

I don't drive a big gas tank, gas guzzler so the price of gas has not crunched me no matter where it is.

9:51 am

therealblah

hi fan!

9:51 am

rururocks

it's been in the 3.29 range for a long time here

9:51 am

9:51 am

rururocks

Both my cars get good mileage

9:52 am

rururocks

did you as HOW it is so low scrabs ? :D

9:52 am

hego

depends on how much driving you do.

9:52 am

helensgirlkid

It's one of those that if you just don't see it, you keep on not seeing it, in my experiene. I hoped that would break the "where on earth . . ."

9:52 am

rururocks

I drive 35,000 miles a year

9:53 am

therealblah

wow ru, my car is 5 1/2 years old and i just broke 26,000 miles :D

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I work at the Indian Reservation every Tuesday so I fill up once a week. The Indians pay no taxes.

9:53 am

hego

so gas must be a big bill for you.

9:53 am

rururocks

huge

9:53 am

Aloyisius

Happy Sunday everyone

9:53 am

There is the difference. I have had my car for six years and the odometer reads 28,000.

9:58 am

hego

It was good.

9:58 am

rururocks

10:12 am

MLFAN17

I'm sorry, WHAT?? There are people who will pay 8 thousand dollars per ticket to see ADELE???

10:22 am

Trifioso

10:22 am

MLFAN17

more the likely molly

10:23 am

MollyL

That is crazy. She is not all that.

10:23 am

MLFAN17

i wouldn't pay that much for any ticket

10:23 am

rururocks

I wouldn't pay $8K to see anybody

10:23 am

MLFAN17

and i agree Molly she is not all that

10:24 am

Trifioso

just checked on stubhub - 5th row, $10,450

10:24 am

MollyL

I have yet to understand the Adele craze.

10:24 am

hego

I think she's all that, but still wouldn't pay that.

10:24 am

MLFAN17

orchestra seats trif?

10:24 am

Trifioso

10:24 am

MLFAN17

Trifioso

10:25 am

hego

and look what people pay to see the Super Bowl.

10:25 am

rururocks

(although I just did pay a lot for tickets to the warriors game)

10:25 am

hego

And we're back to value again.

10:25 am

Trifioso

i wouldn't pay that even if I COULD pay it. that's why I would be a terrible rich person. one of those penny pinching millionaires you read about

10:26 am

MLFAN17

heog for the 50s and the NC Panthers i would pay money to see it but not too much

10:26 am

hego

a thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

10:26 am

MLFAN17

though i am not impressed by who is doing the halftime show

10:26 am

rururocks

I would pay $8K to go to New Zealand

10:27 am

MLFAN17

Warriors? Basketball?

10:27 am

rururocks

yep

10:27 am

rururocks

10:31 am

MollyL

Hey, if you have the money to spend, spend it.

10:31 am

rururocks

10:32 am

MLFAN17

agreed molly

10:32 am

hego

whoppee!!

10:32 am

MLFAN17

however, i don't want to go through all of that security stuff

10:32 am

rururocks

the TSA is a pain in the ass for sure

10:33 am

hego

it takes about one minute to clear security.

10:33 am

MLFAN17

some don't treat the elderly or disabled people well either

10:33 am

bichon

We travel a lot, just learn to live with it

10:33 am

Trifioso

cant you get on a special list, like a preapproved one? valentine did that....

10:33 am

rururocks

no it doesn't

10:34 am

hego

It's just witing in line that's a pain.

10:34 am

hego

waiting

10:34 am

bichon

Yes, Mr. Bich did that

10:34 am

hego

I've never had a problem Ru, and I fly often.

10:34 am

rururocks

I can't do that with my prison record and all :D

10:34 am

Trifioso

hahaha

10:35 am

Trifioso

oh those feds! they spoil everything

10:35 am

rururocks

(would love to see Hego fly out of SF and LAX and see how long she'd be witing)

10:35 am

hego

No fun at all

10:35 am

MLFAN17

they can

10:36 am

bichon

I never wait long at SFO, ru

10:36 am

hego

Hagd All!

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

OS5?

10:38 am

bichon

os 5/10, a willow stick

10:38 am

Trifioso

my favorite flight ever: my mum and i checked in at the smallest airport you could imagine. we were the the only ones in line. man at desk checked us in, put the bags on the belt, walked around to other side of the wall, picked up the bags, walked it out to the plane while we walked next to him. He then escorted us onto the plane, got us sodas, made sure I was buckled in, then got in the cockpit and flew the plane!

10:39 am

MLFAN17

trif where the heck was that?

10:39 am

Trifioso

marigot, the commonwealth of dominca.

10:40 am

bichon

That reminds me of a flight we took in Costa Rica. We took off in a prop plane in the middle of the rain forest. It just cleared the mountains

10:40 am

MollyL

I'm still trying to figure out why certain people call their Mother "mum" and others call them "Mom"

10:40 am

Trifioso

exactly bichon! dirt runway, no light

10:40 am

MLFAN17

Bichon that is so cool

10:40 am

MLFAN17

I think the UK folds call her mum

10:41 am

MLFAN17

trif that is cool

10:41 am

Trifioso

oh, i loved it so much. I would be there now....

10:41 am

MollyL

I understand the Brit mum. Not sure about Americans who use that term.

10:41 am

bichon

Family tradition maybe

10:41 am

MLFAN17

yes they do Bichon when i went to England one of the days was mum's Day there

10:42 am

MLFAN17

trif what did you do there?

10:42 am

Trifioso

we were part of a service project. I was so happy

10:43 am

MLFAN17

providing aid and such trif?

10:44 am

Trifioso

yes. my mother, as a physician, worked in the hospital. I worked in a sewing shop and taught some classes at the school

10:44 am

Trifioso

I also helped with a construction project, if you can believe that

10:44 am

MLFAN17

oh that is so awesome Trif!

10:45 am

Trifioso

some of the happiest times of my life. I was lucky enough to bring my children there a few years ago for a vacation. it was WONDERFUL

10:48 am

bichon

Marvelous

10:48 am

bichon

Marvelous Trif

10:49 am

MLFAN17

trif i hope they got something out of it?

10:49 am

bichon

pe 6/21, pls

10:50 am

Soodle

Lol. I took a flight from Dublin to Donegal a couple of years ago, on a six-seater. Instead of the captain announcing tale-off over the PA system, he said, over his shoulder, to the flight attendant ' Sit dow there, Bridget, like a good little girl. We're about to take off'.

10:50 am

HarryHood

bichon I have human being for pe6/21

10:52 am

Hi Soods. Read an article in the newspaper about public schools refusing to enrol unbaptizes children

10:52 am

MLFAN17

hi soodle

10:52 am

MLFAN17

hi harry

10:52 am

MLFAN17

can i get a clue for os5 please?

10:52 am

HarryHood

hello all...in and out today

10:54 am

MLFAN17

For those of you in the US have any of you purchased a watch from Walmart?

10:54 am

flosey

good morning folks, back to finish up, only got to half way before falling asleep last night

10:54 am

therealblah

fan, dogwood twig

10:54 am

therealblah

i try not to purchase anything from walmart

10:54 am

MLFAN17

poor flosey

10:54 am

MLFAN17

blah can you elaborate please?

10:54 am

Soodle

Yep, Bich. All publically funded schools are totally administered by the clergy. Not for long more, though. Priests & nuns are dying out & no new ones are taking their place. Quelle surprise, after all thats happened here.

10:54 am

rururocks

I went in a Walmart once... and never again

10:55 am

MLFAN17

blah really? why don't you purchase anything there?

10:55 am

MLFAN17

ruru not impressed?

10:55 am

rururocks

not impressed.. and kind of creeped out to be honest

10:55 am

Soodle

<---- Loves the People of Walmart pics

10:55 am

bichon

It was a shame as Hindu, Muslim kids were not allowed to enrol. Somebody's sueing

10:56 am

therealblah

would rather give my $$ to target...much better merchandised, nicer employees etc

10:56 am

MLFAN17

our next door neighbor went in once and was not impressed either but i think she has been back as its the only big store here besides walgreen's and Lowe's

10:57 am

tabbycat

Where was this, Bichon?

10:57 am

MLFAN17

blah true the customer service is a bit iffy

10:57 am

bichon

In Ireland

10:57 am

MLFAN17

hi tabby

10:58 am

tabbycat

Hi MLF

10:58 am

therealblah

fan the few times i've been in a walmart customer service was nonexistent, shelves were empty or incredibly messy

10:59 am

rururocks

That was my experience too THere

10:59 am

therealblah

fortunately we have a choice here

10:59 am

tabbycat

And these are "public" school? Doesn't seem right at all,

10:59 am

rururocks

even Target is weird but I do shop there sometimes

11:00 am

MollyL

WalMart is gross. So are most of the people who shop there. I will order from them on line, if the price is right, but I don't go in their stores.

11:00 am

therealblah

I think in the UK public and private schools are the reverse of how we define them here in the US

11:01 am

rururocks

I'm glad I went to public schools

11:01 am

therealblah

but i certainly defer to any UK babblers if that is not correct :)

11:01 am

tabbycat

I hate Walmart but have to go there sometimes. I start getting pissed as soon as I pull into the parking lot.

11:01 am

MollyL

Private/Catholic schools in these United States are in much the same situation as the Irish ones.

11:01 am

rururocks

<--glad he didn't go to a private catholic school..

11:02 am

MollyL

12 years of Catholic schooling...it's why I am so warped.

11:02 am

rururocks

well.. I didn't need schooling to be warped though

11:05 am

Douglas

"The Devil opened up his case and said 'I'll start this show," and fire flew from his fingertips as he *****ed up his bow,"

11:06 am

therealblah

thx douglas oldie but goodie!

11:06 am

MollyL

Bad girls sent to Catholic school never turn out well.

11:12 am

Soodle

State run schools are called public schools here, i.e., open to the non-fee paying public. As long as the students are Catholic. It's one of the last vestiges of the tyranical hold the Church had over people here.

11:14 am

Soodle

Alternative schools, known as Educate Together are popping up now all over the place. They do not require pupils to be of any particular faith.

11:14 am

rururocks

I have never been a fan of the Catholic Church and its doctrines

11:15 am

Soodle

27 years ago, when I married a non-catholic, I had to sign a document declaring that any children of the union would be raised as catholics.

11:16 am

MollyL

The deep, and good, roots of the Catholic religion have been ruined by the wealthy portfolio of Rome.

11:17 am

Soodle

I raised them to respect themselves & others. No mumbo-jumbo. Amazingly, they turned out reasonably well....

11:18 am

Soodle

Sorry! I've broken my own golden rule. Politics & religeon should not be discussed in bars ( or in Babble).

11:19 am

MollyL

Oh, it is okay to discuss those things here. Most of us are adults without a high sensitivity factor.

11:20 am

MollyL

And it's more interesting than the "my cats" or the "I'm so sick" chat.

11:20 am

rururocks

how about relitics and pigeons ?

11:24 am

Soodle

Thanks Molly. So... Now I'm in rule-breaking mode - Donald Trump???? WTF????

11:24 am

MollyL

You ask that about a country that elected Obama TWICE?

11:25 am

rururocks

ahem.. the same country that elected George W Bush twice

11:27 am

rururocks

trump will shove his foot in his mouth and ruin it for himself any day now

11:27 am

rururocks

Trump is a nutjob.. but Ted Cruz is waaaay scarier

Soodle, the answer to your ??? is that the American voting public is mostly nuts and falls for any line it gets fed. Sad but true. Ru, it's so old to compare the Obama thing to the Bush thing.

Obviously, I'm an outsider looking in, so forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn. Obama, and to a lesser extent, Bush, presented with a reasonable amount of gravitas. Trump, however ..... The hair??? The tan???

11:35 am

MollyL

And I am/was neither a Bush nor Obama supporter.

11:35 am

ivesy3

umm let me check lol its a carriage by timex..

11:36 am

MollyL

Nice of you to say that Soodle. So many opinions here from "other countries" come off as experts. The Trump thing is truly scary.

11:38 am

MollyL

Although I understand the Trump run for President. If Obama could get voted in twice, it is a free for all for any unqualified lame brain.

Bobby had lithotripsy which uses shockwaves to blast the stone into bits. It then comes out naturally. He has a tube from his kidney to the tip of his penis which will be removed Thursday. He will need a cystocscope which is not fun for a male. I feel bad for him but we are at the end of this ordeal, I hope.
