have to say though that in light of the

*hugs zooz* Hello dear man! How are you doing, and how are the parents holding up in this cold?
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Parents are fine thank you. I am trying to get rid of a cold I picked up recently from my sister child :-(
4:41 am
zoozzoom
How are you keeping?
4:41 am

sister's
4:43 am
sprite
aw, you must be miserable :( I hope you are taking lots of grannyrose's concoction.
I am okay. Bit of a challenge atm, with my beloved home with a burnout. But it is also a chance to learn to do my own thing while he is around, and not only cater to his needs :)
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Parents have their heating on rather high to keep them warm. It is like walking into a heat wave lol
4:44 am
sprite
ugh yes, not at all pleasant when you come in from the cold. But elderly people often do not move about a lot and they get cold rather easily.
4:46 am
zoozzoom
Oh sorry to hear about, Rob being over worked. Life can get on top of you before you know it. Wonder if there are any warning signs he was giving off before it got too far so you can spot if it happens again and do something about it. Hope he recovers soon. Hope you are getting some you time also! Don't need both of you with burnout.
4:46 am
zoozzoom
How was Caya's Birthday?
4:48 am
sprite
oh, there were signs a-plenty, but he insisted he was aware and would not let it get any further... the road to hell and all that. His job is too taxing, that's for sure.
4:49 am

Caya loved her presents and it was a lovely day. Thanks for remembering :)
4:49 am
zoozzoom
Ah stubborness I know only too well...My dad is the perfect example of that lol
4:50 am
sprite
hehehe :) Yeah, Rob can be headstrong. But it is also true that when you are on the way down to a burnout, your judgement is the first thing to go.
4:50 am
zoozzoom
That lone O and bottom H are another example of stubborn. They do not want to reveal themselves to me. Tsk!
4:51 am
zoozzoom
Oh yes I agree. i have been there. Wonder if it is a man thing lol
4:51 am
sprite
am still battling with the darn K
4:51 am
zoozzoom
Oh I only have 4 of those.
4:52 am
sprite
no, I think that is pretty universal. I remember my own burnout, went the same way. I insisted I knew what was happening and I was on top of things. Until I bottomed out pretty badly, lol.
4:52 am
sprite
hah. Ks killed.
4:53 am
zoozzoom
That was a rather smug Hah :-)
4:53 am
sprite
the lone O is a plural sound word
4:53 am

indeed! I feel ever so smug once I managed to kill the darn Ks.

there is NO NEED for these rifles to be for sale to the public!!!!!!!! no one needs one of these for his own protection!!!!!!! I say they should be illegal to sell period. they are for military only!
8:40 am
Judi
I think we all share those sentiments, Sue. Clearly this kid (shooter) had mental health issues. Made threatening statements, etc. I say kid. He is 19 - an adult by most legal definitions. I'd say he is also the product of absentee and/or incidental parenting.
8:40 am
suefrad625
they cost a lot of money, how does a kid get one?
8:40 am
suefrad625
his mother died in november

In israel where everyone is in the military they have a gun, not a semi-automatic rifle! it is sick that these are for sale in the US. period. even hunters dont need or buy these kinds of guns. ONLY SOMEONE SET ON MURDER BUYS THESE KINDS OF AUTOMATIC GUNS
8:41 am
suefrad625
i agree mkg

my high school son earned tons of money doing lawns, giving guitar lessons, being a life guard and babysitting. he had thousands of dollars at his disposal. from age 16 we seldom had to give him spending money. BUT IF HE BOUGHT A GUN I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT AWAY FROM HIM.
8:42 am
suefrad625
but you can lay out a thousand guns in a field and one one would get hurt. It is the lack of empathy, caring, love that picks up the gun
8:42 am
mkg
i will state again that ONLY IN THE MILITARY SHOULD THESE GUNS BE AVAILABLE. PERIOD.
8:43 am

Need to take a break. Back later.

the day this nation stops selling guns other than what is needed to hunt or to self protect, we will be a safer nation.

we talked a lot with my 21yr old and he, now after not believing it, said that being so immersed in violent video gaming really does affect the mind
8:45 am
suefrad625
3 year ago he said that it did not make him think to pick up a gun
8:46 am
suefrad625
the really sickening part was that the kids in the school said that this guy would be the one "to shoot this school up"
8:46 am
Judi
A hunting rifle with a scope becomes a sniper rifle. Should that also be banned then? The problem is not the guns. It's the people who use them for the wrong reasons.
8:46 am
suefrad625
we are so politically correct that we dont want to say anything again anyone
8:47 am
suefrad625
I have to agree judi. but it I think an automatic rifle is too much
8:48 am
suefrad625
he posted videos and shot at animals
8:48 am
Judi
We can all do everything right to protect our children and ourselves. All it takes is one psycho who has access to a weapon and it all falls to shit.
8:48 am
suefrad625
all the signs where there
8:49 am
suefrad625
but nobody wanted to be the one to do something because they could be sued for slander
8:49 am
suefrad625
no watch the suing begin
8:50 am
suefrad625
it will all be about pointing at each other instead of themselves
8:50 am
suefrad625
nobody takes responsibility for themselves and there family
8:51 am
suefrad625
it will be the schools fault for not watching 2900 students with one guard
8:51 am
Trifioso
I actually work in a school, and BELIEVE ME - we are doing all we can. Do I feel safe? NO
8:51 am
Judi
Agreed, Sue. The blaming will begin... now that it's too late.
8:52 am
Trifioso
Facts are facts - in countries where assault rifles are banned, these things DONT HAPPEN
8:52 am
suefrad625
I bet you just have to ask for volunteer retirees from the armed forces or local police to help in the schools they would
8:53 am
suefrad625
give the teachers the gun safes in the rooms for protection, and we have a chance
8:53 am
Trifioso
sorry sue, but that is BULLSHIT. More guns DO NOT solve the problem. I am DONE. Fuck the 2nd amendment.
8:54 am
suefrad625
show that we are not just laying down to die, and we have a chance. but you cant ask a teacher to throw themselves in front of a gun
8:54 am
Judi
Teachers should be allowed to conceal carry if they want (and are fully qualified). That would earn some good old fear and RESPECT from the student body.
8:54 am
Trifioso
I am FURIOUS.
8:54 am

are you kidding me? RESTRICT ACCESS TO GUNS

there should be no guns in school and there should be no guns on the damn streets either

hello all

i was told that if a bag is left on the streets in Israel, the bomb squad comes. Is that true?

Like I said, you can restrict access to guns, make schools a "safe zone", but all it takes is one asshole who is determined to kill.
8:59 am
mael
we are the only country in the world with this level of gun ownership and this level of violence
8:59 am
suefrad625
we have to start at the bottom. stop the drugs. stop giving our children drugs to control every feeling they have and teach them to deal with them in a safe and good way
8:59 am
mael
sure, execpt please explain why these things just DO NOT HAPPEN in countries with restrictive gun laws?
9:00 am
mael
drugs have nothing to do with it
9:00 am
MLFAN17
agreed judi
9:00 am
suefrad625
have them exercise outside with each other in teams to build communications between them and relationships
9:00 am
mael
mental health issues do, but access to guns is the problem
9:00 am
suefrad625
not just zone them out and let them sit in a room
9:00 am
suefrad625
drugs have lots to do with it
9:01 am
suefrad625
children get angry and dont have anything to do the release it
9:01 am
MLFAN17
mael its probably easier to happen in some places then others. Size of area etc
9:01 am
mael
seriously, these are the days when I feel like packing up my kids and move back to italy where these things do not happen
9:01 am
mael
but again, the US is the only country where angry children buy a gun and shoot up a school
9:01 am
MLFAN17
mael no place is really safe from anything
9:02 am
Judi
These things DO happen in other countries. The fact that the US is so much larger than say Britain, Israel, etc. makes the US stats look huge by comparison. Also, such shootings, unless the death toll is fairly large, don
9:02 am
Judi
don't even get reported in the US media.
9:02 am
mael
there have been EIGHT school shootings in the US in 2018
9:02 am
mael
and it's february
9:02 am
MLFAN17
or at least not reported so widely
9:02 am
mael
this is entirely a US problem
9:02 am
mael
the intersection between culture and access to weapons
9:03 am
suefrad625
mael, you truely think that it doesnt hurt the children to not get outside to play? you think that instead of letting them use thier energy in productive ways instead of having to sit in a seat for 6 hours a day doesnt cause frustration for everyone
9:03 am
MLFAN17
a shooting happened in Paris France not that long ago

i was a teacher in 0-5 grades and it is horrid t
9:03 am
Judi
I fully believe the root of the problem is the failure of parent(s) to teach right from wrong, what empathy means, etc.
9:04 am
mael
I have kids, letting them out and play is key but it is not a prevention for gun violence
9:04 am
mael
I'm talking about gun violence, not terrorism
9:04 am
suefrad625
when they all play together they learn respect and caring and fun
9:04 am
suefrad625
they KNOW each other
9:04 am
suefrad625
it is harder to hurt those you KNOW

his mother reported him to the authorities multiple times for violent threatening behavior and he was still legally allowed to possess a weapon, that's not on his mother
9:05 am
mael
there will always be disaffected children. The issue is that disaffected children should not have easy access to firearms
9:05 am
MLFAN17
male the fact that they knew about his tendencies which happens a lot is the thing that bothers me the most
9:06 am
MLFAN17
2nd column lone N?
9:06 am
mael
of course. he had all the warning signs. violence against women being the most predictive of mass shootings, and lo and behold.
9:06 am
MLFAN17
ogt it ty mael
9:08 am
MLFAN17
and even when these kids aer on meds sometimes those don't work and so many don't take the or are not being monitored so they will(don't know if that is an issue for this kid or not though)
9:09 am
suefrad625
well, we have this argument every time it happens. I dont belive anyone should have access to an automatic weapon outside of law enforcement. the only guns a person should have under 21 is for hunting and then it should be locked from them for any other times
9:09 am
Judi
Violence against animals, peers, women - steady increase in level and frequency of violence. All signs that a person probably is a sociopath and an imminent threat to society.
9:10 am
suefrad625
you are right judi. the signs where there
9:10 am
MLFAN17
sue you don't think a kid or young adult can gain access to a locked gun?
9:10 am
Judi
Time for a break. 110 left.
9:11 am
suefrad625
not giving him a key would have made it harder
9:11 am
MLFAN17
judi, once again they knew and it seems nothing was permanently done to help that kid or anyone else on a regular basis or watchful eyes
9:11 am
MollyL
Thank you Judi for your comments of reason about this situation.
9:11 am
suefrad625
me too judi. 127 left and they think I work here too.
9:11 am
mael
there should be strict licensing requirements, there should be insurance for gun owners. No insurance, no gun. Strict liability, strict tracking, strict chain of ownership. No automatic weapons for anyone.
9:11 am
MLFAN17
sue you don't need a key to open or enter something all the time though
9:12 am
suefrad625
true mlf. but if i want to protect my computer i put a password on it. i make the password longer and with symbols to build security.
9:12 am
MLFAN17
I gtg will be back...
9:12 am
MollyL
You folks do understand that there is a HUGE black market for firearms and that no matter how strict the gun control laws are, people who want to do harm will still be able to get guns illegally.
9:12 am
suefrad625
and i agree with all except the insurance thing mael.
9:13 am
suefrad625
i just think insurance is a farse
9:13 am
mael
Randomized gun safe inspections. Improperly stored weapons? Guns gets taken away. Licensing renewal requirements, every two year
9:13 am
suefrad625
a rip off.
9:13 am
suefrad625
i love that idea mael
9:13 am
suefrad625
cops have to get re certified, why not everyone?
9:14 am
mael
it can be done even within the confines of USian gun ownership culture, it just requires the will to do it
9:14 am
mael
my husband is a gun owner, I tolerate it because he is careful, precise, and in favor of stricter gun laws too
9:15 am
suefrad625
yes molly, you are right
9:15 am
suefrad625
printers and computers are calling
9:15 am
mael
most harm is done with legally detained weapons, though, so getting those squared away would go a long way
9:16 am
mael
if the street price for an AR-15 becomes 40k, random kid from Florida is not going to shoot up his school with an AR-15
9:16 am

let the police deal with the illegal guns

reading the chat - only bird native to NZ that I know is a kiwi and it's not there!
9:38 am

it's only the plural of a new zealand bird

it's a kind of parrot :)

potentially? it's the only ke4 I have so far
9:43 am
cybernan
watching the news -- my heart goes out to the poor parents of those massacred children.
9:44 am
cybernan
would it be so terrible to ban the sale of repeating guns to the public and to restrict the sale of guns to registered dealers in vetted stores?
9:45 am
mael
no, ti wouldn't be terrible. it would be a great start
9:46 am
rururocks
a lot of those guys down south need assault rifles, because they go hunting with them.. they like their deer shredded
9:47 am
cybernan
and they call themselves sportsmen?
9:47 am
rururocks
that was an ironic comment and not true nan
9:49 am
cybernan
yeah - figured that ru, but have also met people on our travels (mostly from Texas) whose primary conversation revolves around how many cars and trucks they own and how many weapons they keep stored in each.
9:51 am
rururocks
yep.. nothing like seeing a gun rack in a prius in texas
9:51 am
bichon
I will always live in CT

Alas, alack and woe...those evil Americans.
9:52 am

not really molly, just the NRA nuts

rururocks
and their paid off congressmen
9:53 am
cybernan
yes ru -- I was just going to say "and the people who enable them"
9:53 am
cybernan
I think that most reasonable people would agree that the right to bear arms has gone overboard
9:54 am
rururocks
yeah..well.. here in California there has been a giant increase in home invasion robberies so I see that side of it too
9:56 am
NANCY
I am watching the press conference where I live in
Florida and the gov Rick Scott is pandering and lying through his teeth about how we need to prevent this. He and Rubio are both supported heavily by the NRA and say more info is needed. What info, how many more bodies will it take. Detest both of these hypocrites.
9:56 am
cybernan
yes -- but do they all involve guns? and does a person really need an assault rifle to protect themselves against home invasion? ---- a good alarm system works too!
9:57 am
rururocks
unfortunately yes nan.. but not an assault rifle. those are illegal here in California
9:57 am
rururocks
only the criminals and the Police have them
9:57 am
rururocks
if you own one.. it has to be modified (per California law)
9:58 am
rururocks
that doesn't prevent the whackos from collecting them or even football players locally apparently
9:58 am
Buggie
It's extremely rare a home robbery ends in death here. But if the robbers know they might come up against guns, they will equip themselves accordingly. Putting death into the equation by having guns just increases the risk of death for both parties
9:58 am
cybernan
sorry - I just don't see the need for anyone to have a gun except the military and law enforcement.
9:59 am
rururocks
I don't have a gun, but I see their side of it. I wouldn't have one in the house.. too much responsibility
9:59 am
rururocks
Rather I like to shoot my mouth off :D
10:02 am
Uneaixoise
just found out that someone was shot leaving our neighborhood library last nite -- 3 blocks from my house . . . teens in a stolen car -- there's been a number of similar carjackings in this area in the last month -- everyone's in total shock -- this is normally a very "safe" area :_(
10:02 am
cybernan
I think there should be laws holding gun owners accountable for what happens with there guns -- too many incidents both criminal and accidental happing because kids were able to get their hands on a relative's gun

10:26 am
NANCY
Just loves the money he gets from the NRA. Nothing will change as long as the NRA pays off our government and control them. Now I am listening to Trump read from a prepared speech and delivering it in a monotone because he has no empathy for anyone and is mentioning his cohorts in FL, Rubio, Scott and Bondy, all trumpets.

10:51 am

don't get your feathers ruffled bich -just saying I appreciate what we have and where I live. We used to spend 3 months every winter in CA or AZ -- not any more -- too much violence

My parents retired there. I didn't find the medical care as good as here
11:08 am
NANCY
Bich, not all of Florida is flat, Northern part is very hilly and has four seasons like the north does, like Gainesville where U of F is located. And the heat is tolerable, just the humidity that is bad but you adapt by going from one place with air to another in the summer months and working outside in early morning and late evening.
11:09 am
NANCY
My medical care is excellent, just depends on what plan you have and what doctor.
11:12 am

There a lot of osteopaths in Florida. My opinion of osteopaths is they just couldnt get into real medical school
