12:11 am

flosey

ah, sorry nan, didn't see your first call

12:11 am

cybernan

called that first

12:11 am

cybernan

ok :-)

12:12 am

Soodle

Hi Flosey, Nan. I can only guess that our US friends are reeling in shock.....

12:12 am

flosey

hi Soodle, I would think so!

12:12 am

periwinkle

I am indeed, Soodle :(

12:13 am

Soodle

Hi Peri

12:13 am

cybernan

too many people not voting or voting write ins. Trump supporters are radicals and fanatics -- they always turn out

12:13 am

periwinkle

true Nan

12:14 am

VolleymomDee

I am not a radical or a fanatic. FYI :)

12:14 am

VolleymomDee

Flip and hi all

12:14 am

cybernan

And of course his friends at the FBI muddied the waters for the early voters

12:15 am

flosey

Hi Dee

12:15 am

VolleymomDee

Hi flosey

12:15 am

cybernan

feel very sorry for the US - some tough times ahead, especially when the country has lost the respect of a lot of it's allies

12:15 am

Soodle

Hi Dee. Well - things will get interesting Stateside now....

12:16 am

flosey

'interesting' kind of frightens me!

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:17 am

VolleymomDee

My household is excited :)

12:17 am

VolleymomDee

Ty lickety

12:17 am

flosey

thanks Lickety

12:18 am

cybernan

me too flosey -- think we should start building a wall! I don't think we will be able to count on the US for much any more.

12:18 am

tabbycat

That old Chinese curse...May you live in interesting times. Very sad at my house tonight.

12:20 am

cybernan

why excited? - you have just elected a self-centred egomaniac with attitudes right out of the dark ages

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think the U.S. will change its relationship with Canada; it has been a long, friendly one of mutual respect and support. I cannot see that changing. I completely disagree, nan, and I will be shutting down my chat.

12:24 am

cybernan

dee - we went down to WA last weekend and there was already a difference. We we treated likie suspects in a crime at the border by very discoureous official. We certainly didn't feel welcomed as a tourist. I will not be travelling to the states again in the current climate -- my tourist dollars will stay at home or in Europe.

12:25 am

cybernan

I certainly cannot respect a man like

12:25 am

cybernan

Donald Trump!

12:26 am

bigbirdboss

I agree Nan....I am scared to death about what will happen in the future.

12:26 am

Q

cybernan- i don't want to keep my dollars in the US, either.

12:26 am

flosey

nor I, Nan,

12:27 am

tabbycat

I'm afraid my dollars are disappearing as we speak. The markets are tanking already.

12:27 am

vashongin

i am frightened for sure

12:27 am

Q

yeah, going to have to ignore my investments for a while.

12:27 am

cybernan

I'm afraid ours will too, tabby

12:28 am

vashongin

the world is going to be very sketchy for a long time i am afraid

12:28 am

tabbycat

I'm too old to start over

12:29 am

Q

i'm not.

12:29 am

Q

i'm old, but my kids are young.

12:29 am

Q

but, running away... is abandoning people who can't.

Q

12:30 am

vashongin

i think we have to stay and fight for what we believe in.

12:31 am

flosey

I agree Vash

12:33 am

tabbycat

True, but I'm amazed and disheartened by how much hate and bigotry has come out

12:34 am

cybernan

cybernan

12:35 am

vashongin

that comes from both sides tabby, and i agree

12:35 am

cybernan

good thing they aren't words

12:35 am

vashongin

it's very sad state our country is in right now

12:35 am

magdagger

all we can do is keep love in our hearts

12:36 am

tabbycat

I'm exhausted, good night all

12:36 am

flosey

but stay strong Vash

12:37 am

vashongin

it bothers me how much hate has come out of both sides, i wish there were better candidates out there worthy of our votes

12:39 am

cybernan

I think, unfortuneately, that you will be facing a lot more violence in your country. When your leader is a bully, that just encourages all other bullies.

12:40 am

vashongin

yes, all we need to do is look back in history for that

12:46 am

vashongin

good night

12:46 am

cybernan

good night vash

100 down -- good night everyone

12:59 am

flosey

wd Nan, I'm dragging

1:45 am

zoozzoom

I take it 'Lycra' is a brand name then?

1:52 am

mkg

must be.

1:54 am

zoozzoom

Well I wanted it to be a word so I would only have one more L to find lol

2:15 am

mkg

president trump. never thought it would be.

2:16 am

zoozzoom

Is it all over yet or still more counting to be done?

2:16 am

Glantarell

sounds wrong.

2:17 am

Glantarell

He already has 8 more than he needed.

2:17 am

zoozzoom

I reckon there will be many American people feeling how I felt when we voted to leave the EU. Sick in the stomach.

2:17 am

Glantarell

Yes. I feel pretty sick in my stomach too.

2:18 am

Inge2

You captured my feeling exactly, zoozzoom.

2:18 am

zoozzoom

((Glantarell)) ((Inge2))

2:19 am

Glantarell

Where has all the intolerance in both our countries come from?

2:20 am

flosey

I would have hoped - but the majority has been heard

2:20 am

Inge2

I don't know. I work with people from all over, from different religions. I love the diversity.

2:21 am

zoozzoom

It is very sad. I feel we are in for many rough years ahead of us.

2:22 am

Inge2

Good people will have stand up for the rights of all.

2:23 am

Glantarell

here's hoping so.

2:23 am

mummy

The end of the world is nigh...

2:25 am

Glantarell

Feels like some kind of sick joke from this side of the pond.

2:25 am

Glantarell

rapt

2:25 am

zoozzoom

Could of typed in an L word lol

2:25 am

Glantarell

that was a freebie in case you were stuck LOL

2:26 am

Glantarell

I did, but it was Lycra LOL

2:26 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I tried that one earlier too.

2:27 am

anike

It is not only American people feeling sick right now. I can't believe that this man has been elected when all the reports said that nobody wanted him there!!!

2:28 am

Soodle

The election of Trump and Britain''s exit from the EU are sadly the resoult of the politics of hate. Xenophobia played a major part in both elections. It's a very sad day for planet Earth.

2:28 am

Inge2

Remember those reports of creepy clowns?

2:28 am

zoozzoom

Agreed, Soodle. Yes we are getting that here too, Inge.

2:29 am

Inge2

We elected one.

2:31 am

zoozzoom

Yet there must be more American people than not that are happy with the result. I just find that notion hard to take.

2:32 am

flosey

let's just hope he has, and listens to, good advisers

2:32 am

Soodle

Same as the Brexit referendum, Zooz. Inexplicable!

2:32 am

anike

The man is a bigotted bully who has no place leading a country. We all have politicians that we wish didn't exist but this man scares me. On a personal level...as retirees relying on our superannuation---our share market is licking the floor. Is it just that the Trump supporters were diligent about voting and Clinton's were too complacent?

2:34 am

Inge2

The NYTimes is predicting that Clinton will win the popular vote.

2:34 am

zoozzoom

Yes I kind of said that yesterday, Flosey. Looks like it is let us hope and see.

2:34 am

Glantarell

I have just realised he has both the senate and the congress. Goodness.

2:34 am

Inge2

Going to quite the theater.

2:35 am

Inge2

*be quite

2:35 am

zoozzoom

But winninng the popular vote means nothing does it?

2:35 am

Inge2

Right, zooz

2:36 am

anike

Our internet says that many celebrities are going to emigrate to Australia??

2:36 am

anike

arts

2:36 am

anike

oops

2:37 am

Soodle

My daughter works in Google. She says the site regarding immigration to Canada has crashed.

2:37 am

zoozzoom

Please babblers if you are going to put words into the chat log from the grid please put some L words in...except LY 4/6..I have that one :-)

2:37 am

Inge2

LOL Soodle, really?

2:38 am

Inge2

New England would like to secede en bloc, please.

2:38 am

Soodle

Yep! Straight from Google!

2:39 am

Inge2

i only have ly4/6

2:40 am

zoozzoom

I know it is no consolation and there can be a lot of damage done in the time Mr Trump is on office but at least when the next election time comes up you can vote him out.. We are stuck with Brexit :-(

2:40 am

zoozzoom

Just thought I would get that out there :-)

2:41 am

anike

So, if nobody wants him, who voted for him????

2:42 am

zoozzoom

More Americans than not, Anike.

2:42 am

Inge2

ok here's another L: ly5/14: ly + double cons + vowel

2:42 am

Inge2

Trump did very well in rural areas, and with uneducated white men.

2:43 am

zoozzoom

And that gives me my last two Ls Thank you, Inge!!

2:43 am

Inge2

and plural it

2:43 am

Inge2

My husband says trump just grabbed america by the p****

2:44 am

zoozzoom

Groan

2:44 am

anike

I just think he is a dangerous man. Mind you, our parliament is a bit of a joke these days.

2:45 am

flosey

down to 23, very tired (from watching election results south of our border) bb in the morning to pick up last few

2:45 am

Inge2

And you are right, anike. He's like a child: so easily manipulated, you just push the right buttons. This makes him dangerous in world affairs.

2:45 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Anike. My father said a couple of days ago...thank goodness i am as old as I am.. I will not live that long to see how bad this world is getting.

2:46 am

zoozzoom

Sweet sleep, Flosey.

2:46 am

zoozzoom

Well I hoe he does not push a big red button, Inge!

2:46 am

flosey

ty zooz

2:47 am

zoozzoom

Hope*

2:47 am

Inge2

I do worry about that. I mean, his own staff had to take away his twitter account in the last week because he couldn't control himself

2:49 am

zoozzoom

Better chop off his hands and private parts then..as he can not control those either.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

Up all night and sick about it. The vote couint isn't fnal, but even though Hillary probably won the popular vote (like Al Gore 16 years ago), the electoral college vote went the wrong way.

2:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

2:52 am

rubyfoo

Like any American with half a brain, I am terrified!

2:52 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz))

2:53 am

Inge2

He may end up being heavily controlled by his staff. I can't see him really spending any time on issues. He has a notoriously short attention span.

2:54 am

zoozzoom

He might surprise evryone and be an amazing leader!

2:54 am

zoozzoom

<--- ducks for cover.

2:54 am

Inge2

But leading us where, eh? We'll see.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

His VP is even scarier and in a more insidious way. Womens' and minorities' rights are at greatest risk.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

What you can know for sure is that you wouldn't want Trump's supporters are your dinner table!!!

2:58 am

Inge2

Yes, Pence is a real threat to women's rights.

2:58 am

rubyfoo

at* your table

2:59 am

rubyfoo

Pence is slick and robotic.

2:59 am

zoozzoom

Well according to what Trump said..looks like Hillary will be the first person to be going to jail.

2:59 am

rubyfoo

He won'thave the authority to do that; he hasn't ever read the Constitution!!

3:00 am

zoozzoom

36 words to still find and I am now finding this grid tough going.

3:00 am

Inge2

A third of Americans think that the phrase "from each according to his means, to each according to his needs" is in the Constitution.

3:00 am

anike

Do I dare say..commiserations USA but please keep him away from the red buttons.

3:01 am

Inge2

Another real setback will be for addressing climate change. It's a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, don't you know.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

Amen, Anike!

3:02 am

rubyfoo

Yes, big hoax

3:04 am

anike

I suppose there will be jobs for some...building that wall. Only problem I see is that it is probably the people he wants to keep out that would normally undertake that type of work.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

In the 18 yrs I've been in this obscure corner of the mountainbs, I can see a huge change in the cliumate.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

Woe is everybody

3:06 am

Inge2

Without a doubt, ruby. We're a planting zone further south than when I was a kid. LOL anike, that does sound like s significant snag in the wall-building plan.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

Trump couldn't even remember the name of the Mexican president

3:08 am

anike

Anyway, I have finished the grid so need to go and prepare dinner. All the best USA.

3:08 am

Inge2

Good night all. Nice chatting with you. Helps the pain.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

Bye Anike. My son is in NZ at the moment; I wish I was theree, too

3:09 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Anike!

3:09 am

zoozzoom

Sweet sleeps if you can, Inge!

3:10 am

zoozzoom

NZ seems to get a lot of rain, Ruby.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

Yes, he said so, but they're still hiking and seeing that magnifient country. After dry Texas, he dioesn't mind the rain

3:12 am

zoozzoom

Glad he is having a great time!

3:15 am

zoozzoom

That Y is getting a good work out in the grid today.

3:18 am

sprite

good morning all

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Helo, Sprite :-)

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Hello even.

3:19 am

sprite

*hugs zooz* hello dear man, how are you today? And how are your parents?

3:19 am

rubyfoo

((sprite))

3:20 am

zoozzoom

I am okayish today thanks. Parents are all back to normal for now :-) How are you doing?

3:20 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* Good morning darling, how are you today? And how are the puppies doing?

3:21 am

sprite

glad your parents are as good as can be at the moment. Okayish means you are not truly ok... wazzup?

3:21 am

sprite

I am fine. Bit of a streak of bad nights, with bad dreams and waking up with back aches. But otherwise all good.

3:22 am

zoozzoom

I am well in health wise. Just annoyed with the American election. Brings back brexit type feelings.

3:23 am

sprite

too true, zooz. It worries me too. No good things happening there.

3:23 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear about the bad dreams. I hate that when it happens. Swimming can help with low back pain!

3:23 am

rubyfoo

aspy

3:23 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:23 am

zoozzoom

Almost, Ruby!

3:23 am

sprite

lol yeah... but only if I swim on my back, otherwise it makes it worse.

3:26 am

zoozzoom

They do say a lot of lower back pain is caused by not having enough muscle to help support it. maybe some simple gentle back exercises could help build up some lower back muscle?

3:27 am

sprite

am already doing that in the gym. I think it is caused by the bad dreams. I tense up something bad. Guess when I do that all night, my muscles start cramping.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Oh hahaha! A neighbour has just taken a charity bag out the a van that has come to collect clothes for charity. And the neighbour ahs come out wearing a gruffalo onesie...He does look ridiculous!

3:28 am

sprite

roflol

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Yes that would make sense, Sprite. I have now had a mouth gaurd made by my dentist as I grind my teeth so bad. It has helped so much!

3:29 am

sprite

something the wife put in there which he definitely wants back :)

3:29 am

zoozzoom

Yes that would make sense, Sprite. I have now had a mouth gaurd made by my dentist as I grind my teeth so bad. It has helped so much!

3:29 am

sprite

ah, that is so good, zooz!

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Why don't you take Xanax at night, Sprite, it gets rid of bad dreas and helps you sleep?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

And Watch This Is Us!!

3:31 am

zoozzoom

this is us?

3:31 am

sprite

my bad dreams are part of the ptsd, ruby, if I would take meds to prevent them, I'd have to take them every night.

3:31 am

zoozzoom

And for ever.

3:32 am

sprite

exactly. So that is not the way to go. I can manage the bad dreams, most of the time. Practice makes perfect ;)

3:32 am

rubyfoo

So? Why not take them? It's better than not sleeping! Take it from someone with pain, anxietty and other issues!

3:33 am

zoozzoom

I sometimes dread going to sleep if i am having a run of bad dreams.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

No, you can't "manage" bad dreams

3:33 am

sprite

my reasons for not taking it: it is addicting, I would need stronger doses all the time, and it is not a good combination with my other medicines.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

You are in a self-perpetuating cycle of bad dreams, nott enough sleep, etc etc. One problem activÃ¢tes the others

3:34 am

sprite

I know that feeling, zooz. Nasty spot to be in :(

3:34 am

sprite

I know you say this because you care, ruby. Bless your heart.

3:34 am

ivesy3

i feel that way too sprite. i take it only when i need really feel anxious. my dr. is very strict about getting it refilled

3:35 am

rubyfoo

Not true about stronger doses. I've taken Xanax, the same dose, for years. If I didn't sleep, I'd probably be dead by now

3:35 am

rubyfoo

My oncologist is all for it, sleep being essential

3:36 am

zoozzoom

I take Propranolol for my anxiety although it does often make me feel sick.

3:36 am

sprite

same here, ivesy. I have something similar (oxazepam) for when the panic really strikes, and valium to relax muscles in case of really bad overstressed muscles. Otherwise, the normal meds and my training will have to do.

3:36 am

ivesy3

and becuz trump was elected i may need a couple!

3:36 am

zoozzoom

((Ivesy))

3:36 am

rubyfoo

Xanax has no apparent side effects

3:36 am

sprite

lol ivesy *hugs* I know, right? It worries me a lot.

3:37 am

ivesy3

xanax makes me very sleepy . so does the meds i take for dizziness.

3:38 am

sprite

xanax makes me feel drowsy all day long.

3:38 am

bichon

ivesey, do you have vertigo?

3:38 am

rubyfoo

It is better to take a regular amount, same as morphine. The needed dosage doesn't change and it makes life manageable. I cretainly know about pain and anxiety!!!

3:38 am

sprite

hi bichon :)

3:38 am

rubyfoo

How much Xanax did you take, Sprite?

3:38 am

ivesy3

oh yes bichon. for a few months i couldnt see straight, or stand up without meds

3:38 am

rubyfoo

((bichon))

3:38 am

sprite

the lowest dose, ruby

3:39 am

bichon

Have ou had the Epley maneuver?

3:39 am

sprite

yeah, I am kind of an expert too, ruby, having had ptsd almost all my life and severe pain for over 20 years now.

3:40 am

ivesy3

no, i heard it is supposed to help . i was on transderm scop patch.. worked wonders till i had to take it off and went thru withdrawals.

3:41 am

sprite

how frustrating, ivesy :(

3:41 am

bichon

I've had vertigo twice and each time the maneuver worked very well. One visit to a physical therapist trained in it will do the trick

3:42 am

sprite

worth a try maybe, ivesy

3:42 am

rubyfoo

I've been able to sleep, remain reasonably active (I limit activities and get help where needed) and lead a normal life, the mÃ©dications make it possible

3:42 am

sprite

am very glad the regime works for you this way, ruby

3:42 am

ivesy3

dr. finally said i had ethoid sinus diesease.horrible feeling behind eyes. . now it comes and goes, guess it chonic. lifes a bitch.. lol

3:43 am

rubyfoo

As my oncologists say, there is no need to have pain

3:43 am

ivesy3

ty bichon, i will look into that. see if anyone around here does it

3:43 am

sprite

*hugs ivesy* and some days, it even has puppies

3:43 am

rubyfoo

but it's life, Ivesy, a lot better than the alternative

3:44 am

ivesy3

true ruby... what doesnt kill us, makes us stronger.. i should be able to move a mountain...

3:44 am

sprite

and you do, ivesy, almost every day

3:44 am

bichon

You could ask your doctor. He sent me to PT where there was someone trained in it.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

since lycra doesn't work, does anybody have a clue for the l (and the middle t)?

3:46 am

zoozzoom

I saw a TV program here called GP behind closed doors..It is a look at how doctors treat patients. And a man came in suffering from vertigo. And the doctor did the Epley maneuver. And the man was amazed at how it stopped the dizziness!

3:46 am

zoozzoom

LY 4/6

3:46 am

zoozzoom

LY 5/14 and plural.

3:47 am

ivesy3

i have heard good things about that epley manuever.now its up to insurance to see if they will cover it..medicare is awful.. older i get, the more money i have to pay out

3:48 am

sprite

to cause dissolution or destruction of cells ly4,
a long, worm-shaped cartilage in the tongue of the dog and other carnivorous animals, ly5/6 combo

3:48 am

bichon

But it's only one visit

3:48 am

sprite

nice, zooz

3:48 am

zoozzoom

And it only takes a few minutes.

3:49 am

ivesy3

if it helps i will pay out of pocket !!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

ty for the ly4

3:49 am

rubyfoo

now for that pasky t

3:49 am

ivesy3

am going to do some research , see who does it around here..

3:49 am

zoozzoom

LY + double consanant + vowel then plural.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

I so hope it works for you, Ivesy!

3:50 am

ivesy3

ty .. ! me too lol

3:51 am

sprite

the middle T are TR words, I think

3:51 am

zoozzoom

The lone T is like a sauce, Ruby.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Oh sorry I thought, Ruby asked for the lone T...my bad.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

ty for the tr

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I'm good -- nbt, nbs

3:52 am

sprite

good job

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to poke the fire some more

3:52 am

zoozzoom

I have been here for years and I still need 7 more words.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to poke the fire some more

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Bye

3:53 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Ruby :-)

3:53 am

sprite

bye for now, ruby

3:53 am

rubyfoo

haha, I only need 56 more, tant pis!!

3:54 am

bichon

tant pis?

3:54 am

sprite

too bad

3:55 am

bichon

ty sprite. French beyond my level

3:55 am

sprite

:) you guys don't have a reason to learn it, we do.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

Google translator is rubbis..as it said it was 'never mind'

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Rubbish*

3:56 am

bichon

Learning a language at school. French and Spanish used to be equal, but no more.

3:56 am

sprite

it can be both. It is a nice, useful expression to say, who cares, what the heck, too bad, etc

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Ah I see.

yeah, if you don't use it regularly, it tends to slowly fade away from our memories. Until we find ourselves in contact with it again, and the braincells will awaken :)

I woke up at 4:30 and went to look at the election results. Bad news. The only way to defuse myself was to Babble

which, in case you wondered, means: the area of the facial wall of an insect's head between the labrum and the frons, usually separated from the latter by a groove. I knew that. *coughcough*

Of course you did ; D

4:08 am

my new word learned for today. Now to bring it up in casual conversation...

4:08 am

No Rose today, Sprite. hope she is okay.

4:08 am

how about: "If I were an insect, this election would give me a real pain in the CL6"

4:09 am

she is, zooz. I emailed her and she said all was fine now.

What's really bizarre and hard to accept is that somehow we have just elected a fascist as President, retro Germany I guess. Fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be quite a ride.

10:47 am

12:04 pm

MLFAN17

hi digby

12:06 pm

Digby the Westie

I went to bed not knowing until A.M. (was afraid to hear the outcome for fear of not being able to sleep.)

12:08 pm

MLFAN17

i figured it would be around the time that it was and it was a longer night then usual because of the Presidential race on tv. ie not much else to watch but i managed to watch back to back Chopped and Chopped jr episodes

12:10 pm

Digby the Westie

I like Chopped too! Like Master Chef too, but don't care for Hell's Kitchen any more. Too much fighting, not enough cooking! :)

12:12 pm

MLFAN17

agreed digby i didn't watch this season of Hell's Kitchen i also don't like the behavior of those who work for Chef Ramsey they are not nice and very stoic

12:12 pm

MLFAN17

i love Master Chef and the jr version as well

12:13 pm

Digby the Westie

Ramsey is somewhat kinder on that show. And the contestants are not trying to tear each other apart!

12:14 pm

that is very true digby

12:18 pm

12:20 pm

not only did Trump win, but the House went red too. This is truly scary. It means he's got no real opposition.

12:21 pm

if America s smart Trump will be impeached

12:22 pm

And Hillary same thing

Well the only reason I am happy is that I did not want Hillary Clinton to be the first woman President. I want that to go to a woman that we can all respect and admire.

2:07 pm

MollyL

But Trump as President was not the alternative I would have hoped for.

2:08 pm

hego

Like.....

2:08 pm

MollyL

However, I have been unhappy about who is President for 8 years so not much has changed in my world.

2:08 pm

2:51 pm

moolingwa

sad state of affairs, the two most disliked and untrusty candidates in recent history...unfortunately they were running against each other

2:56 pm

jzw

Wait until the apricot head sees how much work it is! I think he'll regret it.

2:58 pm

moolingwa

My biggest sadness about this election, is that people chose ideology over hate, prejudice and greed

3:00 pm

jzw

You said it! How could anyone vote for someone who has no idea what he will do besides building a wall? I'm just glad that I feel my vote counted since she won Massachusetts.

3:02 pm

poodletoes

but people DID chose hate, prejudice and greed.

3:03 pm

moolingwa

Some did for sure, but the majority who elected him, voted AGAINST clinton, or for single issues like abortion, supreme court or guns

3:04 pm

moolingwa

They chose Trump knowing that he's a liar, bigot and demagogue, because their ideology was more important

3:04 pm

moolingwa

That's what is sad

3:04 pm

poodletoes

I see what you meant

3:07 pm

poodletoes

every action has consequences. People need to think about that.

3:08 pm

jzw

In the end, this is America and we are Americans and, no matter what, we will survive. It may not be pretty for awhile, but we'll be okay.

3:10 pm

moolingwa

Yes, as I said to my wife last night...this will have very litle direct impact on me...

3:11 pm

moolingwa

I'm white, am employed with a pretty good salary

3:11 pm

moolingwa

But I think a large portion of the population will have a very different experience to me

3:13 pm

moolingwa

If you look at the natural cycle of the economy and of real estate, we're due for a downturn too...and so we're likely to see investment cool off and the job market to slow and stall over the next couple of years

3:13 pm

jzw

I believe that's true. We just have to keep Ruth Bader Ginsberg alive four more years.

3:13 pm

moolingwa

There's also some challenges ahead politically...

3:14 pm

moolingwa

The midterms in 2018 will elect the state legislatures that will get to redraw the districts

3:14 pm

moolingwa

The Republican party has been investing in the past decade to win those legislatures, and a number of states have districts that are very much aligned to elect Republicans...Texas and North Carolina are good examples

3:16 pm

moolingwa

That said, the US is also shifting steadily away from a white majority, so I expect to see some more bumps as a result

3:17 pm

moolingwa

15 words to go :)

3:19 pm

MollyL

People have been voting for someone who has no idea what he will do for 8 years. I have no clue what the American voting population is thinking when they go to the polls.

3:20 pm

moolingwa

I think voters are emotional rather than analytical when they vote

3:21 pm

moolingwa

And if you look back, the US has a long history of presidents who didn't know what they were doing

3:21 pm

moolingwa

Or thought they were entitled

3:32 pm

mummy

We have has the Trump news on the bbc all day, all other programmes cancelled. We didnt have this much political saturation even during Brexit, enough is enough!

3:39 pm

Seems to me this grid was made just for the Trump victory - lots of pertinent words

3:40 pm

I believe Hillary has dignity and grace. I am bereft.

3:47 pm

Wonder how long before another woman will put her hand up in America

3:50 pm

lynxxx

anyway Good luck America, hope Trump turns out better than what the rest of the world fears

3:53 pm

moolingwa

I did briefly consider whether I wanted to buy that new gym equipment or not, but I think I'm going to spend the money after all. Always have the option to go back to Australia anyway :)

3:56 pm

MollyL

There are already women politicians considering the 2020 race. I can only hope that one of them is deserving of the honor of first woman President.

3:59 pm

robwhy

As a Texan, let me chime in and say I am heartbroken.

4:02 pm

ChampFit

I'm a Texan as well, and not heartbroken. Agree with Molly regarding the future woman President.

4:13 pm

MollyL

I want to be as excited and happy as all the African Americans were when Obama got elected when we have our first woman president. Clinton was not going to make me feel like that at all. So I have hope. But not very hopeful about our country's leadership for the next 4 years.

4:16 pm

ChampFit

Can't imagine why anyone would put themselves through running for President. I truly felt bad for both of them before the results were in, because they'd both put so much into it and were so close to winning. How hard it must be to not reach that goal! I remain hopeful for the future, because it gets me out of bed in the morning. Maybe I'll be squashed later in the day, but to start with, anything is possible.

4:23 pm

ChampFit

"Strappy" was not found in the dictionary???? Annoying.

4:25 pm

doseffing

strapping is ... what did you want strappy to mean? ...

4:25 pm

doseffing

... but you might take a look at the sq5 ... there's an unusual sq7 that seems to go with it

4:27 pm

ChampFit

Strappy sandals? Having lots of straps. And that sq7 is a thing. There's a product, the Sq7 Potty. Google it when you have a minute.

4:29 pm

doseffing

... I leave such items to my eldest child for the use of her kid

4:29 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... I guess you might look for strappy with the shoes

4:30 pm

doseffing

... oh well

4:30 pm

ChampFit

:) It amazes me that it's a product. Actually saw a commercial for it that explained exactly how/why it works. Wild.

4:31 pm

doseffing

... I paid a day care a great deal of money to teach that function to my kids ... for my mind ... such products can stay in the box

4:32 pm

ChampFit

It's a stool. Why anyone would pay for something they could fashion on their own....

4:35 pm

doseffing

... 22 left ... maybe I'll list later ... but must make dinner ... luck to all

5:21 pm

periwinkle

ChampFit, don't know if you are interested but I have a recipe for butternut squash soup in my profile.

5:33 pm
