Did he hold Melandia's hand this ime?

good afternoon all, back for the last bit
5:42 am

I agree that everyone has opinions and should be able to express them. However, there are those who believe in a candidate or President and take offense when the name calling starts.
5:43 am

good morning all. wondering which babbler we lost due to yesterdays discussion
5:43 am
MollyL
I'm still working on the puzzle and I cut my own hair the other day. Now everyone's status is accounted for.

It wasn't yesterday's discussion Peri. It was something that happened a while ago.
5:44 am
rubyfoo
day beforee and it gott nasty
5:45 am
MollyL
And if you believe he is The Name Caller In Chief, then you should be like him? I don't get the logic.
5:45 am
sukee
I don't insult people on Twitter and I am not the president.
5:46 am

Leaders should have a modicum of respect.

hi sprite. my niece and her family are visiting from connecticut and were at my sisters yesterday. they brought along their King Charles Cavalier Spaniel named Rosie. She is the sweetest most likable dog I have ever seen
5:48 am

awww how lovely, peri. Cavaliers are such lovable dogs. Glad you are enjoying their company, dog included
5:48 am
MollyL
I just wish I had 100$ for every person who said they were going to "leave the country" because of a President. People said it about Obama, and they are saying it now, and they never leave. The answer to being unhappy about politics is to get involved and try to make a change.
5:48 am
sukee
I love King Charles spaniels, one visits the senior center where I work out, her name is Halo :)
5:49 am
sprite
cute name!
5:49 am

Oh well, the most corrupt administration will not last long.
5:50 am

And I agree, I would never leave my country because of a leader. I would definitely vote, too bad so many didn't.
5:51 am
mattygroves
I didn't leave the US because of Trump (I've been in the UK since 1988) but I did download the British citizenship forms on the 9th of November and started the process in part because of him. I'm also wary about visiting the States with the current climate (I hear - and I realise I cannot verify the accuracy of this) that airport security are asking for social network handles and passwords and the like. If that's true, I think it's very wrong.

Oh those imaginary monkeys. How did that start? More importantly, why is it still around? ha7 starts like not soft and ends like mixed frozen precipitation without the double vowel.
10:01 am
MollyL
Someone gave the definition as a clue earlier, but I doubt anyone would get it from that.
10:01 am
bonkler
Thanks Molly! Monkeys were here when I got here, they persist.

I don't know. It's like people who still say "groovy"
10:06 am
rururocks
those people still have tied dyed shirts
10:09 am

I think it comes from monkey around.
10:10 am

Like when you try to piece something together.
10:10 am

well.. that's monkeying I can do
10:10 am

A friend who was showing me some things on the piano once told me to just sit there and monkey with it instead of just trying to play written music all the time.
10:14 am
rururocks
is Connecticut the best place to go for the colors?
10:15 am
hego
And it was a lot of fun.
10:15 am

Yes Ru Connecticut is excellent.
10:16 am
hego
Our trees are kind of drab this year too.
10:16 am

It stayed hot too long.
10:16 am

there's lots of good places in New England. Different states have a different calander
10:16 am
rururocks
most of our trees are drabbier than yours
10:17 am
rururocks
they are crispy
10:17 am

The sugar maples are the best
10:17 am

You need the cold crisp weather.
10:17 am
rururocks
I love maple trees
10:17 am
bichon
Not the Norway maple
10:18 am

We have the maples that get bright red in our community
10:18 am
rururocks
? why is that
10:18 am
bichon
Those are the sugar maples
10:19 am
bichon
I couldn't explain ru, just google it
10:19 am
hego
Bichon, I didn't know that.
10:20 am
hego
Ru, it has to do with the breakdown of the chlorophyll in the leaves.
10:20 am
bichon
That's why the norther NE states have terrific folliage
10:20 am
rururocks
I see. they are an invasive species
10:21 am
bichon
There are trees which turn purple
10:21 am
rururocks
we get yellow and red in the grape vines.. the vines behind my house are yellow right now.. sunrise was really beautiful today
10:21 am

We cut down our Norway maple. Too much work raking

It's not like I have a hot tub or anything molly :D
10:33 am
MollyL
Oak trees are beautiful in the Fall. It depends on what kind of oak they are. Some just have leaves that turn brown and fall off. Others have leaves that turn yellow and orange and they are gorgeous. I just took some photographs of some this morning.
10:34 am
rururocks
hot tubs are a pain in the ass
10:34 am
hego
Did not know that.
10:35 am
rururocks
they require a lot more maintenance than swimming pools
10:35 am
rururocks
and you really don't use them that much.. the pool I use every day
10:36 am
hego
I've never had one.
10:36 am
