Hi. I just started playing 10 minutes ago and notice that my word list has random words in it like 'seriously' 'online' etc. Not in alpha order. This is the second time I have seen this over the last week. Anyone else noticed it?

2:06 am

rubyfoo

Good morning

2:07 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby...hope it is good and you are a bit warmer

2:07 am

rubyfoo

It is so cold here that I let the dogs out, made a coffee, picked up my charged laptop and got back inn bed

2:07 am

rubyfoo

It's fine in bed!

2:08 am

lynxxx

will the dogs get on the bed with you? (I hope)

2:09 am

rubyfoo

The wood guy came last evening and since the big gate was frozen closed, he threw the logs down from my little parking, driving the dogs insane

2:09 am

rubyfoo

No, these dogs don't get on furniture, not trained that way, they just don't

2:09 am

rubyfoo

but at least I have plenty of wood

2:10 am

lynxxx

do you have electric heaters too?

2:11 am

rubyfoo

I sleep on 5 pillows with wo wool blankets and a fur coat over the top

2:11 am

rubyfoo

Only in the bathroom

2:12 am

rubyfoo

Most of the time, I don't mind and once the firee is going (my old housekeeper's son comes to make the fire and walk the dogs), I can go downstairs and make the pups' omelet

2:13 am

lynxxx

but do tell me you have thermal underwear and lots of wool clothing. Hooray for the housekeepers son - bless him.

2:14 am

rubyfoo

I usually wear a thermal undershirt, three sweaters, twopair of thermal tights, wool socks and leg warmers

2:15 am

rubyfoo

By noon, I'm usually OK

2:15 am

rubyfoo

If I didn't have to get up for the dogs, I'd stay in bed all the time and wait for spring

2:16 am

7:36 am

MLFAN17

did anyone watch the remake of Beaches last night?

7:37 am

lil*monkey

nope

7:39 am

MollyL

I'm so tired of remakes.

7:39 am

MLFAN17

agreed molly

7:39 am

lil*monkey

me too! Why remake? The orig was epic. And why remake The Shining, Grease, The Sound of Music, etc. It's an insult to the original.

7:40 am

MollyL

It's like imagination is dead in Hollywood.

7:40 am

lil*monkey

THat is so true.

7:40 am

MLFAN17

I was not overly impressed with the tv Grease remake

7:41 am

MLFAN17

Beaches was an insult ot the original

7:41 am

lil*monkey

Me neither mlf

7:41 am

MLFAN17

molly its like my husband always says no one has any new or original ideas anymore

7:41 am

MollyL

If I were an actress, singer, dancer, etc. I would never want to try to improve upon the performance of Swayze, Julie Andres, Bette Midler, and the rest.

7:42 am

MollyL

*Andrews

7:42 am

MLFAN17

molly idina menzel turned down the role several times, she did however get Midler's approval via a text

7:44 am

MollyL

Indina Menzel is a very talented actress and singer in her own right. She doesn't need to be doing remakes.

8:11 am

RoundBarn

trif, bichon, others--the rally was terrific in Srlf Il and Madison Wis--we had Dick Durbin speaking--huge orderly crowds--look at Huff Post for the SIGNS s people carried-- Dont agonize--organize--I've written it up for next week, proud of our city--

8:12 am

Trifioso

is the single I the 9?

oh well done round!!!! There were some very, very clever signs, that is for sure! Personally, I was delighted to see Princess Leia so well represented, nerd that I am

8:13 am

8:15 am

Trifioso

way to go mlf

8:15 am

MLFAN17

trif rarely ever happens lol

8:15 am

RoundBarn

there was a photo of Princess Leia--so beautiful you almost cry-- the signs were positive, funny, defiant--dly any hateful--lots extolling our womanly body parts! I wore my pussy cap proudly

8:16 am

Trifioso

I did not have a proper pink hat, but wore a Rosie the riveter type pink bandana tied so I had little pink ears. I was so proud!

8:18 am

MLFAN17

found a de 6 7 8

8:19 am

RoundBarn

mine was a pinkie made by my daughter who died--it had a little peak--I rubber banded that off, made another peak, it was raffish--people photoed me--so Demi was there isn spirit--Dick Durbin hugged me--he's an old friend and a staunch senator

8:19 am

Trifioso

and I walked with my son - who is the worlds biggest introvert and HATES crowds, but was bound and determined to do it - and he did! He almost had to turn back a couple of times - but he didn't! I was so so proud of him. Crowds are his undoing, and this was a whopper, but the spirit of the day was AMAZING and we felt safe and happy. Such a mix of people! Men, women, families, every color and belief system. The number of disabled people was particularly poignant, given the level of respect the disabled reporter received at trump's tiny hands.....I will never forget one woman I saw - a tiny little thing, clearly never independently mobile, being pushed by a helper in the chair which is clearly her world....holding a sign that simply said "I AM a pre-existing condition"

8:20 am

I was so glad my granddaughter in Wisconsin went to Madison--she's 16 --I'm sure it made an impression. Here, and in all the photos and the videos on tv, there were so many YOUNG women--and men--it is very heartening.

Just read your poem about Trump-Zeus - brilliant. Also, the New Year one - says it all. Thanks!

8:34 am

RoundBarn

thank YOU, ch1212!! I don't pretend to be a poet, so I just write whatever, to fit the space--quite a few are political--

8:36 am

ch1212

The haiku New Year's one is wonderfully layered, with depth. Shared it with my beloved (he's on the treadmill right now and particularly enjoyed the reference.)

8:36 am

RoundBarn

also when I write about suicide, people --strangers--stop me on the street and say thank you. My last year's one was Demi, bu taking your life you've spared yourself old age. You've also spared yourself your mother's old age."--so, sorta bitter, sort of regret, but I hope love.

8:39 am

ch1212

I just browsed through the collection on Illinois Times, but not seeing one about suicide. Is it there?

8:41 am

MLFAN17

round that is awesome

8:41 am

round can you repost that poem on babble?

8:42 am

RoundBarn

It was last year, jan 14 or 15. iF YOU EMAIL ME YOUR ADDRESS i'LL SEND YOU LAST YEARS COLLECTION IN A BOOKLET WITH A HILARIOUS COVER--oops pardon caps.

8:42 am

I won't abuse your address.

I would love to do that but I cant get into any of my email . I know it sounds nuts but its true

mlfan17--it wqs a shortie, already sort of given here:

8:44 am

MLFAN17

that's so neat round:)

8:45 am

RoundBarn

demi, by taking your own life you have spared yourself old age. You've also spared yourself your mother's old age." I find if I hit the space button it send, so I didn't space it.

8:46 am

MLFAN17

round that is such a great poem!

8:47 am

ch1212

I just found both poems in Illinois Times - I used the search engine. Achingly beautiful.

(And I deliberately put a space in whenever I post my email address online, so that the auto-search spam robots don't copy it. :) )

8:50 am

RoundBarn

thank you both and all--I usually lurk, but the march, and you people's remarks, sometimes bring me to chat. I also write about Babble and you all--anonymously of course.

8:51 am

ch1212

Of course! :)

Oh my rolin! I don't know if I would eat choc covered bacon.

8:57 am

well..im reserving judgement...

8:57 am

i think of salted chocolate... and i like that

8:58 am

Yes I like salted chocolate. And I have enjoyed a maple-bacon cupcake. Delicious!

8:58 am

i have had some chocolate with bacon in it....my nephew the chef made some....very good!

8:59 am

he also did a strawberry cake that had bacon in it for a friend's birthday....she loved it....

8:59 am

hurshy

my new favorite part of the day is this. after i feed my littlest kitten (who was taken by a bird of prey at a day old and then dropped, saved, and bottle fed, but thus had virtually no time with her cat mom) she gets on me and acts like i'm her real mom by kneading me, purring, and "comfort nursing" by suckling my hoodie string.

8:59 am

Does anyone shop at H&M ? THey have started a recycling program. If you bring a plastic bag of old clothing, they will take them and give you a 15% off coupon to buy new clothes. Then they recycle the clothing.

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

SORRY SORRY SORRY!!! TRULY SORRY!

9:46 am

What has changed is that many people don't bother to read both sides

9:46 am

This is not a normal transfer of power, and not and "the media" is a paper tiger.

it just seems to me that when a leader of a country stands up and denies photographic evidence of something by accusing the media of misrepresentation.... as one of the first things he does ..

one of the new cabinet, I think Sessions, said that separation o church and state is unconstitutional. others say global warming is a hoax. I the other "side" offered reasonable positions, such as "this is how we are going to lift people out o poverty' there might be a discussion with reasonable disgreements. one cannot argue with a crowd that denies acts.

I don't deny anyone their dislike of Trump. I don't like him either. The fact is, he is the President for 4 more years. The best thing you can do if you are against that is to get involved in local politics that is anti-Trump.

9:58 am

MLFAN17

bichon just another turn off from trump that I have

10:00 am

I can certainly agree with that Molly, or in specific causes that matter to you

10:00 am

bichon

My daughter works with people with intellectual disabits and her husband voted for Trump

10:00 am

MollyL

Ask yourself "What am I doing to make a Trump presidency ineffective?" If the answer is just "complaining" you won't be very effective yourself.

10:01 am

moolingwa

I think you can also call your representatives and senators, what ever party they be from, and reiterate that you want them to do their jobs as legistlators and to hold Trump accountable. Do not let him turn the Whitehouse into another Trump Hotel

10:01 am

MLFAN17

bichon apparently having a disabled person in your life isn't enough to not vote for him which is ashame or in his case one of many wrong things that have come out of his mouth

10:02 am

moolingwa

The irony is that Congress generally has as much if not more power than the President, but we hold those folks to such low standards it seems

10:02 am

hurshy

i suggest efforts focused on getting some more state legislatures to sign on to the National Popular Vote pledge, which would allow the popular vote winner to win the presidency. www.nationalpopularvote.com

10:02 am

MLFAN17

mool agreed

10:03 am

moolingwa

I'd also suggest that if you live in a state that has partisan redistricting commissions that there's an area where you can make an immediate impact

10:03 am

MLFAN17

I thought their was going to be a recount of the votes anyway?

10:03 am

hurshy

yeah that's the thing with Congress - SOOOO much gerrymandering, so hard to fix

10:04 am

moolingwa

That ship sailed a long time ago ML, don't think there was ever enough evidence to change that. Today there is a lot more technology involved, so generally speaking recounts are less impactful

10:04 am

MollyL

I really wish that all those women who thought it was important enough to march in Washington (and other places) had done it BEFORE the election.

10:04 am

moolingwa

Another to consider would be term limits on politicias

10:04 am

MLFAN17

mool this is true and I don't care if they had recounted the or not anyway

10:04 am

MollyL

There are term limits on politicians.

10:05 am

moolingwa

Not on Senators or Representatives

10:05 am

MLFAN17

their was some protests before Trump got elected to have him impeached

10:05 am

moolingwa

mostly just governors and the president

10:05 am

moolingwa

You can't impeach someone who isn't elected of course :)

10:06 am

MLFAN17

we know mool lol:)

10:06 am

How would Trump be impeached. The Republicans own ccongress

10:06 am

moolingwa

Yes, highly unlikely, but not impossible

10:06 am

bichon

de 6/27, pls

10:07 am

MLFAN17

the previous president that was impeached back in the 60s? was he dem or rep?

10:07 am

moolingwa

The majority of reps and a fair number of senators are motivated by what will get them elected, not what is right

10:07 am

MLFAN17

bichon you need to de**** to do it or not?

10:07 am

moolingwa

So it's up to the voting public to put pressure on them

10:07 am

10:08 am

Was Andrew Johnson impeached?

10:08 am

As long as special interest groups (and their money) can persuade elected representatives, these united states will not have a government 'for the people, of the people"

The easiest way to cede power, is to believe you're powerless

10:10 am

but i also think it's a catch-22 now. you either have trump, or if he's removed in any way, shape or form, you have a load of trump supporters even angrier than they were before. even if he just died of natural causes, they'd be sure it was poison or something.

10:13 am

MLFAN17

10:14 am

no amount of evidence is enough to convince people who think they Know the Truth and anything contrary to that is obviously lies and propaganda

10:18 am

Yes, even in Russia where there's still access to other points of view, people choose not to seek them out

10:20 am

moolingwa

Putin has managed to push voter participation down below 50% there, because people feel hopeless. This last election saw around 56% of eligible voters cast ballots

10:22 am

MollyL

"The easiest way to cede power, is to believe you're powerless"...well, when you convince me that the American public has any influence over what happens in government, I will think about that rather short-sighted comment.

10:25 am

hurshy

Molly, I wonder about that a lot. I mean, the thing that was just going on about the Ethics committee - it said they changed their minds due to the outcry - and I'm like, what outcry? WHO IS IT that they are actually listening to and changing plans because of? and why did it happen with this and not a lot of other stuff?

10:26 am

moolingwa

Well then I suggest you take a look back at the history of American democracy

10:26 am

moolingwa

How it has changed over time

10:27 am

MollyL

I am always amused by people from other countries who think they have a firm grasp on America and it's politics.

10:27 am

moolingwa

You will see greater and greater ability to influence from the voting public

10:27 am

When democracy was first implemented in the US, only men who owned land could vote

10:37 am

moolingwa

At any rate, the reason the US has anti-monopoly laws, has safety laws, has environmental laws is because of activism

10:38 am

bubba218

One's birthplace does in fact very much influence how ones thinks. European social democrats look at politics and the world quite differently. Each country is obligated to its own citizens. As the EU falls apart and refuses to take orders from Brussels, each individual entity will once again look to themselves.

10:39 am

moolingwa

That is still assumptive bubba

Perhaps, but the way of the world.

Does not have a social network that includes people from other backgrounds

10:40 am

moolingwa

or has limited interest in exploring objective or counter viewpoints

10:40 am

moolingwa

Molly, I believe your comment was directed at me

10:41 am

MollyL

Anti-monopoly laws? Safety laws? Environmental laws? Yes they exist. And yet they are merely band-aids to placate people while crimes of monopoly, safety and against the environment continue.

10:42 am

moolingwa

Do the laws eliminate all crimes, of course not. Very hard to shift from a state of lawlessness to one of fairness so quickly

10:42 am

moolingwa

But one of the fundamental aspects of politics and law is incremental improvement over time based on precedent and popular support

10:47 am

moolingwa

We no longer have lead in gasoline, PCBs have been banned, car manufacturers are prosecuted for not building safe vehicles, cigarette manufacturers likewise prosecuted

10:48 am

moolingwa

Companies are still being denied the right to merge, or are in some cases broken up (as we saw with AT&T)

10:49 am

moolingwa

The progress is neither linear nor absolute, but over time the democratic world continues to move towards more transparency and more power to individuals

10:50 am

moolingwa

When you look at it from year to year, it's easy to miss the progress, and in fact you'll see examples of receding rather than progress

10:50 am

moolingwa

But over the broader time period you'll see democracies become stronger

11:36 am

Glantarell

some would say all sorts of things about all sorts of things, and not always nicely LOL

11:37 am

Glantarell

happy babbling all, see you tomorrow

11:47 am

MollyL

Some people state an opinion that is not in agreement with another opinion. It has nothing to do with "nicely". It has to do with having a discussion about topics that people don't agree upon.

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

it is difficult to have a discussion in print. intonation, body language and facial expression are key in communication.

11:50 am

wvteach

stats for the single I and the single E pls

11:53 am

MollyL

Single e...et6/18...single i...id7/36

11:54 am

MollyL

I agree about discussions in print, TO. But it is pretty obvious when someone thinks they know everything about every topic. It is not a conversation, just them telling you how right they are.

11:59 am

72 Temple Owl

omg i got that id! too much time babbling.

12:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh rats. did not, but got an ed6/7 that sounds like id

12:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

*sigh* this is my day to enjoy the paper and the cooking shows, but pbs is begging again. i think i will head to the grocery store before the nor'easter.

12:06 pm

moolingwa

Molly, I've seen a couple of examples here where you've tried to attack the opponent rather than provide a reasoned argument against my points

12:06 pm

moolingwa

It's hard to have a discussion if someone simply says this is my opinion, but doesn't support it with anything

12:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

the first rule in discussion, as learned in business/management school,as well as counseling, is to maintain self esteem, and to avoid the use of judgmental language. the latter is very hard, since humans seem hard wired to judge.

12:09 pm

flosey

fw and off to read the daily, have a good day everyone

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye flosey

12:10 pm

cybernan

good morning all -- just starting out on htis one

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi nan.

12:10 pm

moolingwa

gl nan, it's a long walk

12:13 pm

MollyL

You keep thinking you are right about everything, moolingwa. I bet that works for you. I only get into a debate of opinions with someone who doesn't think their way is the right way.

12:13 pm

moolingwa

Well I certainly apologize if you get that impression

12:13 pm

moolingwa

My intent is to test my opinions and conclusions

12:13 pm

moolingwa

I am wrong all the time

12:14 pm

moolingwa

I change my opinions as I get better data and better arguments

12:17 pm

lil*monkey

I can appreciate that, moolingwa :)

12:18 pm

amelu0218

Tiresome. Later all.

12:20 pm

lil*monkey

moo, how many words do you have left?

12:20 pm

moolingwa

down to 43

12:20 pm

lil*monkey

Nice! I still have 91.

12:21 pm

moolingwa

I do like the bigger boards, but that can be a slog

12:21 pm

lil*monkey

Yes esp if you have to slog thru the Ps haha

12:21 pm

moolingwa

heh

12:25 pm

moolingwa

there's so many almost big words in here

12:26 pm

Judi

Greetings, all!

12:26 pm

moolingwa

hey Judi

12:27 pm

lil*monkey

hi Judi!

12:27 pm

Judi

Well, here's a kick in the head. I found that by upgrading from an IPhone 5s to a 6s is going to cost me less money per month. Weird but true.

12:28 pm

moolingwa

strange, were you financing the last phone?

12:28 pm

lil*monkey

Well that's awesome Judi!

12:28 pm

moolingwa

How do you like it?

12:29 pm

rururocks

I have an iPhone six and love it

12:29 pm

Judi

Yeah, monthly payments. And, I'll get more minutes and twice the gigs.

12:30 pm

moolingwa

I used to have the 6+, but had to recently replace it...developed a bug

12:30 pm

rururocks

I threw my Samsung galaxy from my car at 100 miles per hour in frustration

12:30 pm

Judi

Read the customer reviews on the differences between 6s and 7. Most say the 7 isn't worth the extra $$ becuase the 6s has all the same goodies.

12:30 pm

lil*monkey

I have the iPhone 6 SE. It is a 6 but smaller, like the size of a 4. I love it.

12:31 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, it's pretty incremental...although the water resistance is good for me, already destroyed a phone that way :)

12:32 pm

Judi

I declined the Apple insurance. I'll get insurance from SquareTrade. Save some dought there too.

12:32 pm

moolingwa

vn

12:32 pm

moolingwa

Once tried to switch to a Samsung...worst decision on phones I'd ever made

12:34 pm

Judi

And... I'm getting a $68 credit for trading in my 5s!

12:34 pm

lil*monkey

woo hooo! WTG Judi

12:34 pm

Judi

*chuffed and smug*

12:34 pm

moolingwa

good for you judi

12:35 pm

Judi

Wasn't the Samsung Galaxy 7 the one that was busting into flames?

12:35 pm

lil*monkey

I think so! KABOOM

12:36 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it was some time ago when I tried switching

12:36 pm

MLFAN17

lil monkey, I have two more p words to find

12:36 pm

rururocks

galaxy notebook caught on flames

12:36 pm

lil*monkey

I finished the Ps! *chuffed and smug*

12:36 pm

rururocks

they were made from recycled pinto parts

12:36 pm

Judi

I think it may be time for an anger management intervention for Ru. Speeding and flinging cell phones onto the highway. Hmmm.

12:37 pm

lil*monkey

Pinto the car? or pinto the beans? LOL

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

pe 6/24?

12:37 pm

moolingwa

they had a lot of fibre

12:37 pm

lil*monkey

MLFAN17

moolingwa

12:39 pm

MLFAN17

12:39 pm

moolingwa

I'm a Rangers fan myself

12:39 pm

lil*monkey

Go Wings! I'm a Wing Nut

12:39 pm

lil*monkey

Oh we can be friendly rivals then :)

12:39 pm

moolingwa

0-0 5 minutes into the second

12:39 pm

moolingwa

Wings just killed off a penalty

12:40 pm

MLFAN17

I am exactly halfway 111/111

12:40 pm

moolingwa

Vanek didn't return for the second, took a shot off the wrist

12:40 pm

lil*monkey

YES I just found it on NBC so I'm watching too

12:40 pm

moolingwa

might as well keep going now ML

12:40 pm

MLFAN17

i am halfway 111/111

12:40 pm

moolingwa

12:41 pm

lil*monkey

Go moo and mlf!

12:41 pm

cybernan

feeling left out in a world governed by tweets and twits and twerps -- don't own a cell phone and see no need for it ---$100/month to remind my husband to pick up milk on his way home? No thanks!

12:41 pm

MLFAN17

different sport but i watched the Warriors win their game

12:41 pm

lil*monkey

Yes cybernan!!!! I like it!

12:42 pm

lil*monkey

I don't twit or tweet either.

12:42 pm

moolingwa

good for you nan...my parents went the same way

12:42 pm

moolingwa

I have bird feeders...

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

cyber my husband has a cell phone but its a cheap one. i don't own one but i did when they were very new

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

we have a bird feeder too

12:42 pm

lil*monkey

My 86 year old mom insisted on getting an iPhone. Because she says "it's so cool." haha

12:42 pm

MollyL

Nan, don't feel like you are the only one in the word who feels that way. I am trying to have a conversation with my son about why I have no use for Facebook. He doesn't get it.

12:43 pm

Judi

My hubby has a flip phone, but his work pays for it. Nevertheless, tech shaming abounds for him.

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

molly how old is your son?

12:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just found out that if costco has your phone in stock, you pay no sales tax on it. of course, they do not have the SE in stock right now

12:43 pm

lil*monkey

I have quite a few friends who don't use Facebook, and they pooh pooh it, but those same people use Instagram.

12:43 pm

MollyL

I wish I had never gotten rid of my flip phone. I hate my smart (hahaha...smart) phone.

12:43 pm

cybernan

Yes we can get a basic cell phone for around $80 but cell phone service in Canada is just about the most expensive in the world.

12:44 pm

Judi

Hi, TO. We are fortunate to live in a sales tax-free state.

12:44 pm

MLFAN17

i used to think facebook was for posting pics only

12:44 pm

lil*monkey

I had a flip phone about 1 week and accidently sat on it while it was flipped open. The End.

12:44 pm

MLFAN17

rotfl monkey

12:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow, nan. do they offer pay as you go, or prepaid plansl?

12:44 pm

moolingwa

your phone flipped out?

12:44 pm

MollyL

I don't use Instagram, Twitter or any other social media.

12:45 pm

MLFAN17

molly you are wise

12:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm, judi, i may just have to stop next time and buy there, i did not think of that.

12:45 pm

lil*monkey

HA no moo, it was flipped open. I laid it down and then forgot it was there and sat on it. The hinge broke and then I had a two-piece phone.

12:45 pm

moolingwa

that's why I can't have sunglasses

12:46 pm

lil*monkey

I really don't even understand Instagram or TWitter.

12:46 pm

moolingwa

by bum doesn't like we wearing them

12:46 pm

lil*monkey

That's why I buy sunglasses at Dollar Tree, moo

12:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was forced to switch by my carrier, no longer supporting my old 2G phone. now they charge separately for talk and text. i have talk minutes but no more text

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

i have a twitter account but i don't use it

12:47 pm

cybernan

nolly, I'm with you on the facebook issue. I think social media is the biggest threat going to personal security on the internet.

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

it is cyber

12:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i bought 3 hours of time but now i am not getting it i text more than anything

12:47 pm

cybernan

*Molly

12:48 pm

lil*monkey

Yes I text with everyone. I hardly ever talk on the phone anymore.

12:48 pm

MollyL

Yes Nan, people seem to have no idea how compromised their personal security is by being on Facebook.

12:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have a friend who says FB is the work of the devil. and "tweeter", as he calls it

12:48 pm

MLFAN17

like my husband and i say, people with cell phones can do everything but make a phone call lol

12:49 pm

MLFAN17

owl hubby calls it twatter sometmes

12:49 pm

cybernan

mld - just by being a registered account holder you are giving up personal data.

12:49 pm

cybernan

*mlf -- fingers won't find the right keys this am

12:49 pm

MLFAN17

i don't remember putting that much info in to get it in the first place but isn't that true for most social media places

12:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is what i was trying to say before. if someone googles a subject, the order, or even the content, is different based on the person's online habits. data is collected even based on your emails. there is no privacy any more

12:50 pm

MollyL

Hearing someone's voice on the phone is personal. Getting a text? Very impersonal.

12:50 pm

MLFAN17

cyber i always say i can spell i just cant type lol

12:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have seen ads that take a cue from my email. that is the most frightening to me.

12:50 pm

MLFAN17

agreed molly, i had to contact my brother once and my mom told me to text him? no cell phone here

12:50 pm

MLFAN17

owl isn't that nuts

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

hearing someone's voice on a cell, with the bad connections, and shouting, is just not the same as a good old phone call.

12:52 pm

moolingwa

You could try using unbubble.eu for a search engine TO

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i use avast safe zone and firefox. but it is hard to get around email. the most secure is the one that comes with cable internet.

12:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i believe one must use one's own name for it.

12:53 pm

moolingwa

I've all but given up using e-mail

12:54 pm

moolingwa

although I do use my work e-mail for some stuff, and just have a couple of e-mail accounts I use for registering stuff

12:54 pm

MollyL

Seeing someone's handwriting on a card or letter is personal. Hearing someone's voice on whatever phone communication works for you is personal. Digital communication seems cold and impersonal to me.

12:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

good luck with that. ever try asking for directions while driving? the usual response - after looking up from the cell - is don'tyou have GPS?" subtext: why are you bothering me?

12:54 pm

moolingwa

And prone to misunderstandings :)

12:55 pm

MLFAN17

i cant even get into my email

12:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahaha someone close to me is a scientist and text is the preferred mode of daily communication.

12:55 pm

MLFAN17

sometimes the cell phones have lousy connection too

12:56 pm

moolingwa

My work is probably half messaging and half conference/phone calls

12:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i do love text for connecting while in a loud public event.

12:56 pm

MLFAN17

oh yes owl you must text someone that is in the same room as you are:)

12:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

edifice is not there. must go before i type it one more time.

12:57 pm

moolingwa

The other minor advantage is that it doesn't interrupt the other party

12:57 pm

moolingwa

Or at least is less impactful

12:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, only if in the next room, fan. ;)

12:58 pm

MLFAN17

yeah because walking to them is so difficult lol

12:59 pm

moolingwa

My wife likes to text me when we're both in the house

12:59 pm

MLFAN17

mool my mom does tht with my niece if she is upstairs

1:00 pm

moolingwa

She likes sending me things to read

1:00 pm

MLFAN17

how nice of her mool:)

1:00 pm

moolingwa

heh

1:04 pm

MollyL

Digital communication with someone who is in the same house with you is...to me...the saddest form of communication ever.

1:04 pm

Judi

That and using your cellphone while in the bathroom. This is a NO, people!

1:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahaha i am just astounded at the people who feel they must answer the phone no matter what or where

1:05 pm

moolingwa

Oh yes, that is disgusting TO

1:05 pm

MollyL

Exactly Judi. Because the last thing I want to hear is you peeing while you are talking to me.

1:06 pm

Judi

I just called to say I !!!FLUSH!!! you.

1:06 pm

moolingwa

I was first exposed to that in NYC when I was working at one of the Wall Street companies...couldn't believe it

1:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

:D

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

well you hear that on tv now often. i flinch every time.

1:07 pm

MollyL

And yes TO, I am also astounded at the people who will answer their cell phone wherever they are. Check your voice mail later, people.

1:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

we are like pavlov's dogs.

1:09 pm

moolingwa

Wonder if Pavlov had a cat

1:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

no but shrodinger did. or not. :)

1:10 pm

moolingwa

I have a T-Shirt to that effect TO :)

1:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to stock up before the deluge. if it were snow it would be a couple of feet.

1:12 pm

cybernan

have you noticed...in the old movies everyone always had a cigarette hanging out of their mouths - now it's a cell phone to their ear

1:13 pm

moolingwa

I've been watching the series Stranger Things on Netflix, it's set in the eighties, there's a bunch of those sorts of things that stand out

1:14 pm

MollyL

No, but I have noticed that people walk through life with their face glued to their cell phone instead of noticing the beauty of the world around them. Sad.

1:15 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, it's one of the few things that bother me about my wife. She prefers to look at her phone when we drive somewhere...I like to see what there is to see

1:16 pm

moolingwa

30 to go...

1:16 pm

cybernan

guess I'm guilty of that sort of thing mool -- if we're on a road trip we've done a thousand times already, I've usually got my e-reader out.

1:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you get carsick on the ereader?

1:18 pm

moolingwa

or do you have a protective cover...?

1:18 pm

moolingwa

:)

1:20 pm

cybernan

1:51 pm

Soodle

Potato pancakes? Sound nice! I make stuff for breakfast, not sure if thers a name for them, with mashed potatoes, mixed with a beaten egg & minced onion. Delicious, but not particularly healthy.

1:52 pm

2:23 pm

MollyL

Cracker meal, like most other things, is available on Amazon.

2:26 pm

MollyL

If you don't watch Big Bang Theory, do a google search on photographic memory

2:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

mc cormick makes some, but the old nabisco is long gone. i never could make them as well as she could, anyway

2:33 pm

ChampFit

Watching the football game...went away for a bit. Soodle..you're very kind!

2:37 pm

MollyL

I think Soodle has a crush on you Champ, you cutie pie.
: )

2:38 pm

ChampFit

Ha! Are you watching the game?

2:40 pm

ChampFit

Atlanta is looking awesome. I was pulling for the Packers. Would love to see Packers/Steelers here in Houston for the Superbowl. May be a pipe dream.

2:40 pm

lil*monkey

Atlanta is looking good so far! I'm rooting for Packers tho.

2:41 pm

MollyL

Go Pack!!

2:43 pm

MollyL

And much as I am not a Steelrs fan, I hope they knock New England out of the running. I am so sick of New England.

2:43 pm

fuzzybunny

Disagree!

2:43 pm

ChampFit

Pack needs some good mojo. My hubby is from a small town outside Pittsburgh. Given that my Texans are in the toilet, I gotta to Steelers.

2:44 pm

lil*monkey

I'm rooting for Steelers too Molly... for the same reason!

2:44 pm

ChampFit

Well...New England has had a good run. It's someone else's turn. Although I admit the irony of rooting for the Steelers...they've had their share too.

2:44 pm

fuzzybunny

Go Pats!

What a day .. had to mop the kitchen floor 3 times. (1) cat drags in a half-dead bleeding mouse; (2) a half gallon of water fell out of the fridge; (3) dog threw up. This after waking up at 3:30 and no more sleep.

8:25 pm

origami

Hi follks!

8:26 pm

dan2bit

wow ori. At least it was water

8:26 pm

origami

yes, could have been worse :D

8:28 pm

Minveryork

Hello origami!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:29 pm

origami

Hi Min! Good, just tired. how are you?

8:30 pm

Minveryork

Origami,the half gallon of water could have been used to clean up that mouse if it fell right after mouse incide4/5

8:31 pm

Minveryork

I'm good too.Gave up on the grid & now just giving clues.

8:31 pm

origami

That would have been good! But, the bleeding-mouse incide4/5 happened at 4:30 am.

8:32 pm

origami

Ono a happy note, I think the mouse was OK. I trapped it and put it outside and it was gone a little while later.

8:34 pm

Minveryork

Oh good! I am glad that you saved the mouse's life. Glad you are animal lover, even of rodents. I have never killed a mouse either. Fortunately I don't see too many of them

8:41 pm

origami

There are a lot of rats in my neighborhood. I catch them and release them in fields nearby. I am a such a sucker :-)

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow ori, you need to kick back

8:44 pm

Minveryork

You are not a sucker origami. You are loving person who cares about animals. The animal I do not mind killing are bees, mosquitoes and spiders; but I do like most animals.

8:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid.

8:45 pm

Minveryork

Thank U rururocks. Thought U were commenting on icon.

9:06 pm

rururocks

I wish I could be so kind to everyone like you.. but that's not my nature .. i'm a cynic

9:10 pm

Minveryork

Oh believe me, I have a not so kind streak in me, but I do not show it too often.Only person I show it to is husband.

9:10 pm

Minveryork

I think there is kindness & cynicism in everyone rururocks

9:11 pm

Minveryork

I think there really is no reason NOT to be kind to people

9:11 pm

rururocks

that could be.. I seem to have a very cynical streak.. but I am also generous and kind to my friends

9:12 pm

origami

Ru is actually kind and thoughtful.

9:12 pm

rururocks

that's because I bribed you with wine Ori :D

9:12 pm

origami

I am pretty easy :D

9:12 pm

rururocks

rururocks

9:15 pm

Minveryork

9:15 pm

origami

I think he was eating too fast.

9:15 pm

origami

Even Hitler loved his dog, right?

9:16 pm

rururocks

oh.. I don't know about that ori

9:17 pm

rururocks

Trump is a raging Narcissist Minver.. he's probably kind to people for a purpose

9:18 pm

rururocks

his speech was horrible.. negative, dark.. and full of falsehoods

9:18 pm

origami

I'm heading off to finish laundry and some crochet. Enjoy the puzzle folks!

9:18 pm

rururocks

bye ori

9:18 pm

origami

9:23 pm

Minveryork

Marched yesterday for all the people he is not so kind to.

9:23 pm

rururocks

good for you minver.. doren went to DC to march.. i'm proud of her

9:24 pm

Minveryork

I wanted to go to DC. I was on a wait list for the bus, but I did not get on so I marched in New York City instead. It was a great turnout and the weather was "kind" to us too

9:27 pm

Hello Nef! How are you dling today? Welcome to the chog

10:38 pm

Nef

I'm doing fine; trying to stay out of trouble.
I've spent a good portion of my day trying not to put my hand in the crazy on Facebook (haven't been totally successful at that; but definitely trying not to stir the pot too much!)

10:41 pm

Nef

How about you, Minver? Staying out of most trouble so far?

10:45 pm

Minveryork

Funny you should say that.I am on FaceBook now reading all the politcal drama.I have democrat and republican FB friends. Interesting to see such different political views.

10:49 pm

Nef

Same here, Minver. I belong to 1 private group that even though we all have different political & religious beliefs; we can all agree to disagree respectfully.
Not so with other people though! Some are very volatile!
