1:36 am

flosey

1:38 am

grannyrose

Oops! Hello rose. Struggling big time with my knees.

1:46 am

grannyrose

you poor darling. you have all my sympathies sweetie

1:47 am

Frances

Thank you

1:51 am

grannyrose

the nerve in my right knee is being so nasty despite me zapping it with the TENS machine for 2 hours twice/day.

1:52 am

Frances

It doesn't help that it is so cold.

1:53 am

Frances

Ouch rose. That doesn't sound good.

1:53 am

grannyrose

i know honey. do you have packs which you can warm up in the microwave?

1:54 am

hurshy

a Zans for cans is very good. have you a Zans for cans? you should.

1:54 am

grannyrose

and the heat rubs, they always help.

1:54 am

Frances

No, but I do have a hot water bottle. That helps a bit.

1:55 am

Frances

Zans for cans?

1:55 am

grannyrose

hurshy...lollll. you are so funny.

1:56 am

hurshy

Seuss, Dr. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

1:57 am

flosey

1:58 am

Frances

2:14 am

hurshy

2:15 am

hurshy

2:15 am

grannyrose

2:18 am

hurshy

2:20 am

grannyrose

i know hurshy...it's frustrating to say the le5

2:20 am

hurshy

2:22 am

lynxxx

2:22 am

2:33 am

I'll take a break, maybe it will be clearer when I come back. See you later

2:35 am

rubyfoo

hello, anybody here?

3:05 am

Frances

Hello ruby. How are you today?

3:06 am

rubyfoo

hello, Frances

3:06 am

rubyfoo

How are your knees?

3:06 am

Frances

Hate to say it but struggling big time.

3:07 am

rubyfoo

I'm huddled in front of the fire with two blankets and my second coffee

3:08 am

rubyfoo

I saw 3 doctors yesterday and will have one session of radiation, very focused on my sternum, all this month

3:08 am

Frances

I'm huddled under a duvet with a hot water bottle on my knees.

3:09 am

Frances

I d hope they were able to give you some good news.

3:09 am

rubyfoo

we're a fine pair!

3:09 am

Frances

Indeed we are.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

Breathing is much better, but the pain is worse. Hopefully the radiation will help that

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I can breathe fine, as long as I don't do anything

3:11 am

rubyfoo

(like stand up or walk across the room lol)

3:12 am

Frances

Take it easy. Good to hear your breathing has improved. I hope your appetite has too.

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I've started gaining weight, so I don't think I'm dying right now

3:13 am

Frances

That is good news. I hope it continues.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

thank you

3:15 am

Frances

You are very welcome. I think of you every day.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

sl5/10 is what it's doing right now!

3:17 am

Frances

Oh, nasty wet stuff.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

aaah, it just changed, now it's floaty snow

3:19 am

Frances

Where you are it must be so pretty when it snows.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

the house is probably less than 15C, too cold for a bath!

3:20 am

Frances

Although a bath would warm you up.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

It's very pretty, but inconvenient. I am craving spring -- and flowers!!!

3:21 am

Frances

Yes, me too. Love spring flowers.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

my garden is lovely from April until October, sometimes even longer, but was totally neglected last year

3:26 am

rubyfoo

I didn't mention it before, but, years ago, I spent 5 months living across from Lord's cricket ground with a 7th-floor view of the pitch

3:27 am

Frances

You are so lucky to have a garden. Since I moved I miss mine so much.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

48 yeaars ago!!

3:28 am

Frances

Lucky you rose. I have scored a few cricket matches there. Love the place.

3:31 am

rubyfoo

when we moved here in '98, the garden only had grass and a few trees and shrubs. I did a total design, planting 15 trees and an English-style garden, with no yellow or orange, just all shades of pink, red, purple,blue, salmon (to match the house) with some white

3:35 am

Frances

Sounds gorgeous.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could work in it, but can't do anything

3:37 am

rubyfoo

and it definitely needs work!

3:46 am

Frances

So frustrating when you can't get out there to work on it. Or tojust sit out there in the nice warming sunshine.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I remember sunshine, barely

3:47 am

Frances

LOL! Me too.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

this has been a lovely chat and a painless way to reach 94 words, but need the lonely m for NBT!

3:53 am

zoozzoom

The funny thing is I had just got it wen, Ruby, asked!

3:54 am

Frances

Think of religeous ladies

3:54 am

rubyfoo

3:55 am

Frances

You're welcome ruby.

It never fails, I ask for help and find it right away.

5:55 am

sprite

yeah it is like it frees our brain to come up with the solution

6:00 am

rubyfoo

hello, is anybody here?

6:00 am

sukee

Hi Ruby.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

6:01 am

rubyfoo

whoops

6:01 am

rubyfoo

(those were accidental arrows)

6:01 am

sukee

Sigh, I can't wait for the US election to be over, tired of seeing it on my TV every morning.

6:03 am

sukee

I bet you guys were just overwhelmed with all the Canadian election coverage...not :)

6:03 am

MollyL

It amazes me that the Canadian news people give our elections so much air time. I honestly can't remember ever seeing US news coverage of Canadian politics.

6:03 am

sprite

sorry, my girl needed me. *hugs ruby* Hello dear friend, how are you today?

6:03 am

rubyfoo

it seems particularly long, this election year

6:03 am

sprite

hi Molly

6:04 am

rubyfoo

((sprite))

6:04 am

sukee

I mean, it is important who the US President is, but I don't care about the process.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

I saw 4 doctors in past 2 days, but at least we have a plan

6:04 am

Anniebrook

I'm American and I can't wait for the primaries to be over. Trump is a disgusting bully.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

Just one radiation treatment to try and ease the pain

6:05 am

sprite

a plan is good. What is the verdict?

6:05 am

sukee

And that is being kind :)

6:05 am

sprite

*hugs Annie*

6:05 am

Anniebrook

yes, sukee I was being kind re: Trump

6:05 am

sukee

Who give a victory speech "we are going to do something so big that you will be amazed" Never says what of course.

6:06 am

Anniebrook

*hugs back* spritey

6:06 am

rubyfoo

((annie)) Trump's ubiquity on TV is very annoying, and the name-calling!!!!

6:06 am

Anniebrook

Trump never says anything worthwhile

6:06 am

sukee

I hope you get relief ruby.

6:07 am

Anniebrook

((ruby)) ditto what sukee just said

6:07 am

sukee

See, we are all sick of the coverage all around the world and no one so far likes Trump :)

6:07 am

sukee

Anyway, don't want to think of him right now :)

6:08 am

MollyL

It frightens me that there are so many Trump supporters out there. But then the whole Obama craze frightened me too.

6:08 am

sprite

fireflies. *hugs* and enjoy your day.

6:08 am

sukee

At least Obama's support was not based on hate.

6:09 am

Anniebrook

going to make breakfast. congrats, sprite

6:09 am

rubyfoo

how did you do it so fast, sprite, you smarty pants?

6:09 am

sukee

wtg sprite

6:10 am

sukee

I have to go make breakfast too. I will be back.

6:10 am

rubyfoo

it's incredible how much support he seems to have

6:12 am

MollyL

Both the Obama craze and the Trump craze are sad indicators of how easily the American voting public can be led around by their noses

6:13 am

rubyfoo

The pitch of the whole campaign, both sides, becomes more strident every day. I don't remember any previous one that was this nasty

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I haven't watched the news yet today, what happened in NH?

6:18 am

ladycece920

Trump and Sanders by wide margins

6:23 am

crosshair

What astounds me is that Trump continues to find enough weak minds filled with hate and fear for him to carry on with this election process. He should have been laughed out long ago and fallen by the wayside.

6:25 am

ladycece920

It makes one worry.

6:28 am

MollyL

Another worrisome thing is that when voters are polled about why they support a candidate, they seem to know very little about the candidates policies.

6:30 am

beachboggle

Good morning Babble friends

6:30 am

beachboggle

I have to chime in (I am usually a lurker, sorry to admit)

6:30 am

crosshair

Howdy, beachboggle

6:30 am

beachboggle

The support that Trump is getting is frightening and embarrassing

6:31 am

beachboggle

I am so sorry to see how many close-minded, hate-filled voters we have here.

6:32 am

crosshair

The mind cramps at the thought of Trump getting any real power. Can you just picture him with the full resources of the U.S military at his beck and call?

6:33 am

beachboggle

What a horrifying thought!

6:33 am

Christini

Trump-bashing is bringing out us lurkers. I am mortified at the thought of Trump dealing with world leaders. Surely it can't happen.

6:34 am

beachboggle

Hopefully enough of us who feel that way can get out there and vote against him!

6:38 am

Anniebrook

Two phantoms: trump and sleaze .

6:40 am

MollyL

: D Annie

6:43 am

MollyL

To me, Trump mania is evidence that there is a considerable amount of people who are tired of liberals being in control of government. However, liberal or conservative, there must be some middle ground.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

ladycece920

6:55 am

MollyL

The zi7 is not a word I have ever heard or one I have ever seen in these grids. I had to look it up on line because there is no definition here.

6:55 am

Riverdance

I am so glad the primary is over now here in NH - so sick of the multiple phone calls daily - I don't even answer my phone anymore. Glad Bernie made it through but just cant believe that Trump did.

7:43 am

Riverdance

the amount of flyers I have been getting in the mail is ridiculous....all that money wasted.

7:43 am

Riverdance

We could support all our homeless and veterans with the amount of waste from this campaign.

7:44 am

bichon

South Carolina is going to be different for Bernie.

7:46 am

Riverdance

I have to get to back to work so saving my last 59 for later - have a great day everyone.

We got about three inches of heavy stuff last night, Scrabbs. Everything is covered in white. Kinda pretty, even though I'm anti-snow.

9:30 am

Scrabbler

We need a fresh layer of several inches so we can XC-ski and snowshoe again. We had a warm spell last week that wiped us out.

Not sure if Dr God reads these, but if so, the inclusion of cu4/6 is really unnecessary I think. At any rate, happy Babbling :) This is a toughie today!

10:40 am

Congrats on finishing, Firefly!

10:40 am

firefly779

oh I haven't finished, probably won't, usually don't these days

10:42 am

zoozzoom

Thre are many words that can be offensive to people like NA 4/9 say. But to me it is just a game and the words here are not meant to be offensive just there to be found .

10:43 am

zoozzoom

A + boy/man name.

10:43 am

sorry zooz, don't know the boy's naame

thanks zoozzoom for the na4/9, and your thoughts :)

Most welcome for the NA 4/9 :-)

10:47 am

I think Dr God is a misogynist

10:47 am

TheByzantine

tw 4 word too

10:49 am

helensgirlkid

I think Dr. God just thinks words are words.

10:49 am

firefly779

well shucks, can't seem to use the link - it wants to use some app to access my gmail and i'm unfamiliar with all that. Anyone have his address handy?

10:50 am

firefly779

Byz - that's a shame that one is used sometimes too. Guess I hadn't seen it before. I get that some slang is used, but for the record, other slang isn't (like "intel" for instance).

10:51 am

helensgirlkid

I can't get at my old email - refresh and try again, that worked for me once.

oh awesome, thanks!

10:57 am

firefly779

There, sent a nicely worded email with my opinion. And don't fret, I'm not about to boycott or cause troubles here. I just don't sit idly by when something bothers me, I say something. After that it's up to the person to whom I speak to do or not do. And I'm free to do the same. I'll keep on playing here, no doubt. Have for years - check my profile. :)

10:58 am

MLFAN17

firefly i think this is an easier grid then yeserday's

10:58 am

zoozzoom

Nothing wrong with that, Firefly :-) I hope to see you again in the chat!

10:59 am

MLFAN17

the sh** word comes up a lot

11:00 am

firefly779

MLF I missed yesterday's I think. Did one a few days back that was fun. I like bigger ones :)

11:00 am

MLFAN17

i prefer big grids as well

11:00 am

firefly779

yeah, the sh/4 does come up a lot, but that one just isn't as bad to me. I don't think it's necessary, but it's not as bad.

11:00 am

MLFAN17

ga5 please?

11:01 am

firefly779

thanks zoozzoom - i'm usually quiet these days and just play a little bit when I get a moment

11:01 am

MLFAN17

firefly doesn't bother me as much as the word you mentioned

11:01 am

MLFAN17

the cu word

11:02 am

zoozzoom

GA + put the X on the ballot paper minus the E.

11:03 am

MLFAN17

firefly779

nice MLF - I was just noticing there were 9 of them and haven't even one so far...

11:08 am

firefly779

and I just got one lol

11:08 am

MLFAN17

firefly i was just thinking dr god and lickety don't have anything to do with what words are on the list or in the grid. Lickety gets them from somewhere

11:08 am

MLFAN17

yep 9 of them

11:09 am

MollyL

Words are words. There are plenty of words that might be deemed "offensive" that are okay in these grids. Wop, dago, homo, etc. It is how a word is used that becomes offensive, not it being allowed in a word game that is based on dictionary definitions.

11:10 am

MLFAN17

at least most words are in most dictionary's ie from this puzzle game

11:11 am

TheByzantine

They get the words from the Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon, Enable

11:11 am

MLFAN17

ah ty byz

11:11 am

firefly779

Molly - I agree that there are "normal" type words that get used in negative fashions. I get that some words are always used in a negative slang way, but really, are deemed offensive for no real reason other than usage. But the words mentioned by me and others are truly slang and truly derogative only - no other meaning, and quite rude to be exact. And the definitions of them reflect that.

11:11 am

TheByzantine

that is one opinion

11:12 am

MLFAN17

true firefly

11:12 am

MLFAN17

personally i don't like the cu4 word

11:12 am

MLFAN17

sh**i can handle

11:13 am

MollyL

I agree Firefly, but many "slang words" are included in the dictionary, and are thus approved for word games like this one and Scrabble.

11:13 am

MLFAN17

good point molly

11:13 am

Bethjt

I don't like a lot of these words and would never use them but the important thing is they are words.

11:13 am

MLFAN17

hi beth very true

11:13 am

Bethjt

Babble sets us the task of finding words.

11:14 am

TheByzantine

people complain about "real" words. That is another opinion ... after all as you say "words are words."

11:14 am

MollyL

Women don't like the cu4 word because it's the big gun men bring out in fights.

11:14 am

MLFAN17

uhhh ..yeah molly

11:15 am

zoozzoom

Some men.

11:15 am

MLFAN17

true zooz

11:15 am

MollyL

Sorry Zoom, some men.

11:16 am

therealblah

not my man, or he wouldn't be with me for long

11:16 am

firefly779

Byz - I can't find an exact Enable list, but I did find one where Words with Friends says it uses Enable and they don't include the cu4 word.

11:16 am

MLFAN17

pu 5/18?

11:16 am

MLFAN17

i can't stand hearing the cu word

11:17 am

MollyL

The Enable Word List can be found by doing a Google search on "Enable Word List"

11:17 am

phaeton

add a vowel to the 2nd pu4/6

11:17 am

firefly779

pu5 - like the pu4 that's football related

11:17 am

MLFAN17

hi phae

11:17 am

phaeton

oops..wrong pu5, sorry

11:18 am

MLFAN17

cant ad a vowel to the 2nd pu4 that i have

11:18 am

MollyL

Here is the thing about slang/swear words. You "can't stand them" because you have been told that it is the nastiest, dirtiest way for a person to refer to a woman.

11:18 am

MLFAN17

ty firefly

11:19 am

phaeton

your right molly, it's the way the word is used that makes it vile

11:19 am

MLFAN17

is their a nice way to use cu**?

11:19 am

phaeton

when you kick a ball in football you pu4...add sometimes vowel for the pu5/18

11:20 am

rururocks

(waits to hear this one)

11:20 am

firefly779

ok so it seems WWF omits some "not nice" words ;)

11:20 am

phaeton

I don't know the origin of the word, so...maybe.

11:20 am

MLFAN17

wwf stands for a few things though not just something bad

11:21 am

MollyL

Probably not, MLF. But my point is, why is it offensive in a word game based on slang definitions.

11:21 am

phaeton

a lot teens play wwf, I think they are keeping it family oriented.

11:21 am

firefly779

exactly right Molly, I agree. But also it isn't used any other way that I know of, other languages or such. So I think by definition it IS that meaning...?

11:21 am

rururocks

most teens swear worse than I do

11:22 am

MLFAN17

me too ruru

11:22 am

MLFAN17

not offensive to me

11:22 am

MLFAN17

what is wwf in terms of a game?

11:22 am

phaeton

it is a word meaning the vagina

11:23 am

MLFAN17

yes it is phae

11:23 am

rururocks

it's not a word I ever use.. I also don't use the N word either

11:24 am

Aloyisius

World Wrestling Federation.. hi everyone, Brunchtime Babble, yay

11:24 am

phaeton

"nice"?

11:24 am

firefly779

From the link to dictionary.com when you click the ? next to the word listed here: Usage alert

All senses of this word are vulgar slang and are very strongly tabooed and censored. The meanings that refer to a woman and a contemptible person are used with disparaging intent and are perceived as highly insulting and demeaning. There are many words used to refer to people in sexual terms. However, to call a person a cunt, especially a woman, is one of the most hateful and powerful examples of verbal abuse in the English language.

11:24 am

MLFAN17

ruru i have used the n word but not in a mean or rude manner

11:25 am

MLFAN17

hi alloy i thought it was world wildlife federation or something like that in regards to animals?

11:25 am

MollyL

Yes, and to reiterate my point, the same can be said for wop, dago, homo, etc. They are just words included in a word game. Not being used to disparage someone.

11:26 am

MLFAN17

i agree with that definition

11:26 am

Aloyisius

yes, that's it MLF!

11:26 am

phaeton

but...it is still a "word" and is best just to think of it that way.

11:26 am

MLFAN17

we are the clean ones in here alloy lol

11:27 am

MLFAN17

do 5/16?

11:27 am

TheByzantine

Again, one person's opinion is not going to settle the matter.

11:27 am

TheByzantine

We can agree to disagree and move on.

11:28 am

MollyL

No one is trying to settle the matter with their opinion. We are just having a discussion.

11:28 am

TheByzantine

You are asking why

11:29 am

phaeton

take the do4/5 before it and add sometimes vowel mlf

11:29 am

TheByzantine

I do not have to justify my opinion for you.

11:29 am

Aloyisius

you have to add the sometimes vowel, MLF

11:29 am

firefly779

agreed Molly - and on that note, I will concur with wop (only acceptable here with an S for four letters) and dago, both derogatory only, no other definitions. Homo does have others though, so I wouldn't consider it offensive. :)

11:29 am

MollyL

I didn't ask you, or anyone else to justify their opinion, BR.

11:30 am

TheByzantine

Hahaha

11:30 am

MLFAN17

at the end aloy?

11:31 am

phaeton

wow...struggling to get halfway

11:31 am

MLFAN17

only to some that word might be firefly(homo)

11:31 am

Aloyisius

yes, MLF

11:31 am

firefly779

WWF - I was referring to Words With Friends, in case there was some confusion earlier. :)

11:32 am

MLFAN17

lol oh THAT WWF!

11:32 am

firefly779

MLF - yes, I agree. That word is misused, but it was a word or shortened form of a word before it was misused as slang/derogatory. That's my point - the cu4 word wasn't a word before that I can see.

11:32 am

MLFAN17

ty aloy

11:33 am

MLFAN17

its like using the word cripple, i find it offensive handicap or disabled is fine with me

11:33 am

MLFAN17

a cripple

11:33 am

phaeton

retard is offensive to me

11:33 am

firefly779

MLF - just to clarify, you are equating homo with cripple? not judging, agreeing and clarifying

11:34 am

MLFAN17

i second that phae

11:34 am

firefly779

phae - me too, in it's derogatory usage. But it was a normal acceptable word before that

11:34 am

MLFAN17

no but its the same "idea"firefly

11:34 am

rururocks

I see we're back to being condescending again around here

11:34 am

MLFAN17

hi ruru

11:34 am

phaeton

true...it all depends on how the word is used.

11:34 am

TheByzantine

yeah you are

11:35 am

suefrad625

hi all

11:35 am

phaeton

I don't see it as being condescending ruru...just stating facts

11:35 am

rururocks

not you phaeton

11:35 am

Kallia

surely words can only be offensive in context, they cant be offensive standing alone.....

11:35 am

suefrad625

i cu** do this puzzle myself, help please with the bottom U

11:35 am

rururocks

mr. happy

11:35 am

phaeton

good point Kallia

11:36 am

TheByzantine

another attack

11:36 am

MLFAN17

lol sue

11:36 am

Aloyisius

un + baby its **ld outside

11:36 am

phaeton

short word for people who regulate ball games

11:36 am

MLFAN17

kali i suppose it would depend on who you say them to

11:36 am

firefly779

interesting idea sue - I think that's a valid angle

11:36 am

MollyL

Well, after being referred to as a "twat" in this chat for stating the obvious, I think I'm aware of the difference in a word between definition and usage.

11:36 am

suefrad625

lol

11:36 am

firefly779

oop, I meant kallia

11:36 am

HarryHood

hola

11:36 am

Kallia

but the point is in this game they are not being said to anyone, they are just words

11:37 am

suefrad625

i think cu word should be out with the Ni word

11:37 am

suefrad625

neither is acceptable by themselves or in a sentence

11:37 am

MLFAN17

kalia yes we know that:)

11:37 am

MLFAN17

Firefly, it didn't really bother me. I considered the source and laughed it off.

Kallia

11:38 am

suefrad625

me too mlf. I think it should get put to a vote

11:38 am

phaeton

Every time some one new joins the chat, this will be brought up.

11:38 am

firefly779

perhaps it is the definition of "word" lol - I contend that cu4 was never a word to begin with, only slang.

11:38 am

MLFAN17

sue i don't think it would work unfortunately

11:39 am

phaeton

whew! nbt!

11:39 am

suefrad625

oh, well ty for the un word

11:39 am

MLFAN17

11:39 am

firefly779

phae - just to be clear, I started this today and I am not new :)

11:39 am

Kallia

it was indeed a word, 13century I think...it was used freely untilaround the 15/16 century

11:40 am

11:40 am

firefly779

Kallia - I did not see that in the dictionary.com reference, I stand corrected it seems. But was it only as a slang word?

11:40 am

MLFAN17

phae uh oh

11:40 am

MollyL

Thank you Ru, but I expect low class people to make low class remarks like that.

11:40 am

firefly779

Or I guess derogatory?

11:41 am

11:42 am

MLFAN17

sue did you grow up in that part of nc?

11:42 am

Kallia

The earliest known use of the word, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, was as a placename for the London street Gropecunt Lane, c. 1230. Use of the word as a term of abuse is relatively recent, dating from the late nineteenth century.[5] The word appears to have not been strongly taboo in the Middle Ages, but became taboo towards the end of the eighteenth century, and was then not generally admissible in print until the latter part of the twentieth century. The term has various derivative senses, including adjective and verb uses. Scholar Germaine Greer argues that cunt "is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock."[6]

11:43 am

suefrad625

no, i grew up in bklyn ny

11:43 am

suefrad625

11:43 am

MLFAN17

We used to go to Cary, NC every winter

11:43 am

firefly779

thanks Kallia - interesting info

11:43 am

suefrad625

all i can say kallia is that words take on meaning by who says it. shag is not a carpet in england I am told

11:44 am

MLFAN17

cary is a very small place if i am not mistaken

11:44 am

suefrad625

11:45 am

Kallia

I dont disagree with you Sue, just giving firefly some info. I hate the word if it is being used to a person....

11:46 am

Kallia

Shagis a carpet, but usually referred to as shag-pile. A shag is something different lol

11:46 am

suefrad625

lol

11:46 am

suefrad625

guess it is a verb or a noun there

11:48 am

11:49 am

firefly779

Thanks for a nice discussion my fellow Babblers - I thought it was pleasant and I have no beef with anyone here. Differing opinions are good to air, politely and logically and respectfully.

11:49 am

suefrad625

11:50 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone :)

11:51 am

zoozzoom

Agreed, Firefly.

11:51 am

suefrad625

these days it seems that if you disagree and want to have a discussion, people find that aggressive.

11:51 am

firefly779

agreed sue, completely

11:52 am

suefrad625

I always believe that if everyone agrees, then only one is thinking.

11:52 am

firefly779

hehe - that's a good theory sue

11:54 am

firefly779

I have za4/11 - clues to the other two? or even just stats would be fine thanks

11:55 am

zoozzoom

oh my, thanks zooz

11:55 am

zoozzoom

The seven starts with the Zi 4/11

11:57 am

rururocks

sometimes when people are just discussing a subject.. other people think it's a personal attack. isn't that what adults do .. have a discussion.. people don't have to agree.. but should be allowed to voice their opinion

11:57 am

Kallia

never heard that z 7 before, thanks Zooz and hello

11:58 am

firefly779

indeed ruru, indeed

11:58 am

why do you do that ruru? you started the condescending thing

11:59 am

rururocks

I was condescending to no one

11:59 am

TheByzantine

you said mr happy too

11:59 am

TheByzantine

you were condescending

12:00 pm

MLFAN17

phew greyed the corner t

12:00 pm

rururocks

ok.. you're right. we both were. I'm sorry

12:00 pm

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

ty sue

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

pu 5/14?

12:01 pm

cybernan

if you are discussing my objection to the "discusssion" over the football game, you are correct, ruru. A differing point of view is understandable, but when sarcasm and bickering enters the "discussion" - that changes things, from my point of view.

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

firefly that is only one t done though

12:01 pm

bichon

do you have the pu 4/6?

12:02 pm

MLFAN17

bichon which one?

12:02 pm

rururocks

there wasn't sarcasm and bickering nan.. that's just how you took it. it was a discussion

12:02 pm

TheByzantine

You have a monopoly on the truth

12:03 pm

TheByzantine

?

12:03 pm

bichon

the secnd, it's a football term

12:03 pm

cybernan

yes that is how I saw it --- also as a lot of discord over something that is only a game

12:04 pm

MLFAN17

bichon the football term is the third one and i have the sometimes vowel word

12:05 pm

rururocks

no one else in the conversation took it as discord?

12:06 pm

firefly779

MLF - take the football one and add an actual vowel?

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

ah ty firefly

12:06 pm

firefly779

12:08 pm

then obviously my understanding of the English language is faulty ( and that was sarcasm!) I don't want to get upset over this again -- I was only trying to call a halt Monday to stop the sniping from escalating.

12:54 pm

MLFAN17

ga6?

12:54 pm

Bugsaw

I met her at a Babble meet up and she is the kindest, most gentle person with a wicked sense of humour. She loved Frank deeply and will feel the loss of his presence in her life for a long time.

12:56 pm

MollyL

I'm glad Sue and Frank got to rekindle their love story. I'm sorry they didn't get more time. I agree with Ru, living in the moment is the way to appreciate life.

12:56 pm

rururocks

yes.. they did everything they could for him. I so get it right now losing one of my closest friends recently.

12:57 pm

Bugsaw

Absolutely. We have all experienced loss here and, for the most part, are a pretty supportive group.
