2:54 am

2:54 am

grannyrose

2:55 am

grannyrose

2:57 am

grannyrose

fortunately i packed a pair of sandals with adjustable velcro straps.

2:57 am

sprite

smart lady. Are your feet up now?

2:58 am

grannyrose

2:59 am

sprite

((((((rose)))))) it is always a quest for the best solution, isn't it.

2:59 am

sprite

monkey, how lovely, a nice little nap in the afternoon can be so satisfying.

3:00 am

lil*monkey

Yes especially when lying on the beach :)

3:00 am

grannyrose

well i have found the ironing board makes a great over-knee tab le for the laptop.

3:00 am

sprite

speaking of butt hurting, I have ordered a special cushion to sit on. Now that my butt is thinner, sitting hurts in more than one way.

3:01 am

sprite

oooo even better, monkey!

3:01 am

grannyrose

woohoo... how wonderful... not the pain, but the fact why you feel it

3:01 am

sprite

and you can do Liz's ironing for her while you are at it :D

3:02 am

sprite

yeah :) Sitting bones no longer padded well enough. Good thing.

3:03 am

3:10 am

lil*monkey

wow sprite! That is wonderful :)

3:11 am

sprite

:D Am so happy with that. No more metformine. I don't mind the regular checkup, I appreciate the carefulness she has with me.

3:11 am

grannyrose

wow!!! what wonderful news sprite

3:12 am

lil*monkey

That is quite an accomplishment, congrats!

3:12 am

sprite

*happy dance* And if all goes on as planned, the high pressure meds are next. But we do one med at a time, giving my body the time to adjust.

3:12 am

sprite

yeah, 30 kg less weight makes a huge difference. I want another 20 kgs in the next year.

3:13 am

lil*monkey

wow! I think that's approx. 66 pounds? THat is amazing sprite!

They used it in Britain and Canada, but not in the US

11:06 am

wvteach

sorry but i didn't know about the writ either

11:08 am

bichon

I know it best as a bill of. The first part of the clue mean to get [personal property]

11:08 am

bichon

The US Constitution forbids it

11:09 am

MollyL

Another example of the confusing words allowed in these grids.

11:10 am

hurshy

the state of california forbids you from getting a teaching license if you are knowingly a member of the communist party (as opposed to all those scores of folks who are communist party members UNknowingly...?)

If your government decided that red hair should be banned, then off with your head

11:16 am

it was so crazy during like, the wars of the roses, and the catholic v protestant struggle. one sovereign strips all the other side of all their lands and then someone conquers them or they die and they give all those lands back and take away the lands of the other side.

11:16 am

cybernan

sorry bich, but you are confusing us with trumps proposed government

11:16 am

bichon

that too nan, we have lots to worry about

11:17 am

MollyL

It is so amusing what people in other countries think of our politics. Or why they even follow it.

11:17 am

bichon

Trump is too tempting to be interested in. And it's funny if it's not your government

11:18 am

hurshy

why? large economic power + lots of weapons = keep an eye on them

11:18 am

Anniebrook

I dont find trump amusing, just sayin'

11:18 am

cybernan

we have no choice, molly - we are getting 3 hours of it in TV every night whether we like it or not. But the thinks that are being said at the GOP convention are terrifying

11:18 am

doseffing

... because everything you guys do affects all of us ... we gotta watch ...

11:19 am

bichon

not amusing as I am finding him scary, but funny in a weird way

11:19 am

Anniebrook

just weird

11:19 am

hurshy

it's the whole, it would be ridiculous if it weren't so dangerous

11:20 am

hurshy

because he's a caricature of himself. you don't even need SNL to caricature him, he's inherently it already. sarah palin is/was the same way.

11:21 am

cybernan

we had a committee of observers from our parliament at the convention in cleveland - just to see what we would have to contend with should Trump form the next US government ---- I was very disturbed by their observations printed in the Globe & Mail yesterday.

11:23 am

bichon

I was too.

11:23 am

bichon

I want to hear about his views on Israel

11:24 am

MollyL

It amazes me that Canadian television assumes Canadians are interested in American politics. Sorry you have to put up with that Nan. I would assume you are more interested in how your country is run.

11:24 am

Anniebrook

What the US does affects the world

11:25 am

bichon

Well, you don't have to watch it. I watch Hulu and Netflix

11:25 am

MollyL

Not so much anymore, Annie.

11:25 am

cybernan

the sad part is, I think he will be elected. There are too many people from both sides who won't vote for Hillary and not voting or a favourite son vote sounds appealing, itt is what when enable Trump to win

11:25 am

doseffing

... Molly, the old image is when you're the mouse sleeping beside an elephant you must pay close attention all night long in case it rolls over

11:25 am

Anniebrook

It doesn't matter what he says, when it comes down to the doing he does what he wants whether he said the opposite or not.

11:26 am

bichon

I think Hilary will win 52-48%

11:26 am

therealblah

I doubt anyone in Canadian (or US) 'assumes' anything. It is based on ratings, and as others have pointed out, there is strong interest in US politics

11:26 am

Anniebrook

I find him frightening. I pray you are correct, bichon.

11:26 am

cybernan

I hope you are correcgt, bichon

11:27 am

MollyL

I considered the American voting public idiots for electing Obama not once, but twice. If they elect Trump, well, they deserve what they asked for.

11:27 am

cybernan

*correct

11:27 am

chrisk

I agree with you Bichon.

11:27 am

bichon

In my mind, I am happy with Obama

11:27 am

cybernan

don't seem to be able to get the fingers working this am

11:28 am

It's like being stuck in the Dr. Suess book - the Emperor's New Clothes - it will just take some time for others to see that the is really and truly naked (not at all qualified for the job().

11:29 am

cybernan

I will all depend on the people who don't want trump getting out to vote for Hillary -- abstaining isn't going to help

11:29 am

Anniebrook

abstaining is a vote for Trumpff

11:30 am

MLFAN17

i don't think its the year for a female president though its been the only time it has happened isn't it?

11:30 am

bichon

abstaining is a poor excuse for a citizen

11:30 am

Anniebrook

I think so, fan

11:31 am

bichon

Any year is the year for a female president

11:31 am

Anniebrook

:)

11:31 am

MLFAN17

i just meant historically bichon

11:31 am

bichon

Obama was the first Arican American

11:31 am

bichon

Poppycock

11:31 am

cybernan

that is the attitude that will get trump elected, mlf --- why are americans so against a female president?

11:32 am

MLFAN17

i am not against a female president just this particular one who is running i have never liked her

11:32 am

bichon

Are women unable to make decisions for America? I think so!

11:33 am

MLFAN17

true bichon so i think thas means anything can happen even us getting our first female president

11:33 am

cybernan

so you vote for the lesser of 2 evils...better than not voting at all

No one liked Bill Clinton because of the cringe factor, but he left the country with a baalanced budget

11:33 am

chrisk

She is the best qualified candidate - whether we personally "like" her or not.

11:33 am

doseffing

... But Bichon ... now you must ask the question "are men unable to make decisions for America?" ... I think you'll get the same answer

11:33 am

MLFAN17

cyber no i wont be voting for the lesser of two evils

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, here we go.

11:34 am

bichon

Any intelligent and rational person can be good for Americaa. Trump doesn't fit that description

11:35 am

chrisk

and it is a job - so we should select the most qualified candidate!

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

he is very rational. all dealers - or maniputalors, take your pick - are entirely rational

11:35 am

MLFAN17

didn't we have a female candidate who wanted to be president during one of Clinton's administrations?

11:36 am

cybernan

I think that everyone who runs for high office is somewhat of an egomaniac and I don't think I'd like any of them very much on a personal level

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

he may or may not have a character disorder. but he is rational

11:36 am

bichon

Who would that be?

11:36 am

MLFAN17

11:36 am

Narcissistic

11:36 am

i must stop typing artisan. it is not there.

11:36 am

I just read an article in The New Yorker written by the man wrote The Art of the Deal. He calls Trump a sociopath with a poor attention span.

11:36 am

MLFAN17

lol owl

11:37 am

MLFAN17

owl Trump is not rational

11:37 am

MLFAN17

annie wow

11:37 am

chrisk

I would recommend reading the editorial in the Washington Post about his lack of qualifications.

11:38 am

MLFAN17

he knows nothing about Politics

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i read that as well, annie, but as someone trained in the field, i do not think laymen should be making psychiatric diagnoses.

11:38 am

cybernan

Trump is popular because he expresses peoples grudges and promises he will fix everything --- what people don't seem to realize is that he is selling snake oil

11:38 am

MLFAN17

cyber i agree

11:38 am

bichon

Sounds like Hitler

11:38 am

bonkler

Trump is a a cartoon character and his rise is powered by the use of fear and ignorance

11:38 am

doseffing

... the only qualifications for president I believe are (1) you're 40 years old (2) you were born in the US (and admittedly it's worded confusingly and (3) you didn't win the last two presidential elections ... ... Don is as qualified as any American according to the consitution ... ... I wouldn't vote for him though

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

they ALL sell smake oil. when they get in they are constrained by the separation of powers.

Maybe you'll be lucky and build a northern border wall and keep us out

11:40 am

I find it interesting that Obama receives so much animosity. He's been a pretty ineffectual but benign president. The madness of the American public was exposed when they voted for George W and elected that halfwit twice.

11:41 am

bonkler

fear of foreigners, fear of religion, ignorance of culture. we live in a sound bite age

Perhaps you are thinking of Elizabeth Dole. From Wikipedia: Elizabeth Dole ran for the Republican nomination in the US presidential election of 2000, but pulled out of the race in October 1999 before any of the primaries, largely due to inadequate fundraising even though a Gallup poll had her in second place in the presidential race at 11% behind George W. Bush at 60% as late as October 1999

someone has been messing with my computer!! When I left it showed 11 words to go, still shows that but my word list shows st6/18 as my last word, the tile stats don't agree with that, this is very strange

11:37 pm

flosey

have never had this happen before Word Stats and Tile Stats agree only 11 words to go but everything beyond st6/18 is gone in both the word list and in Lickety's clues

11:41 pm

flosey

ah well! that's it for today, bb at flip
