Scrabbler

Hi Nutty and pup.

5:59 am

evanonut

Shirlockc

i stopped trying ... effort not = outcome

11:06 am

rururocks

I get that.. sure wasn't

11:07 am

Shirlockc

11:07 am

rururocks

I should have figured it out sooner as she was still working through issues with her previous relationship

11:07 am

rururocks

oh..

11:09 am

rururocks

I never used a dating service seems too creepy to me

11:09 am

Shirlockc

11:10 am

mattygroves

I work with people younger than my daughter. I feel old

11:10 am

Shirlockc

11:11 am

Yes, I remember you were! My husband wants to do that river cruise with Monet's home and the beaches at Normandy

1:36 pm

NatashaW

My dad had been proud of his role in the air corps but as he got older he became increasingly remorseful thinking of the innocent civilians whose lives he knew he'd taken by dropping bombs over Germany

1:37 pm

NatashaW

Nothing we could say to him about stopping Hitler from murdering the entire Jewish population of Europe could console him

1:44 pm

helenkeller

Nat - He was following orders. The Americans dropped bombs on a whole lot of civilians in WWII, not only in Germany, most notably in Italy. Italians were mighty pissed about that.

1:44 pm

bichon

Yes, that's the cruise we did in April

1:47 pm

serenitynow

Hello everyone.

1:49 pm

MLFAN17

clue for the ra 6 that goes with the ra 7 pls?

1:49 pm

helenkeller

Nat - I know it was probably super frustrating for you that you couldn't soothe your father, that makes me sad. But, you ought also know things could have been much, much worse. Many WWII survivors, Europeans, who survived camps, who then either fought or didn't, many re-experienced the horrible tortures they lived through in their last years. I've seen it, also have read many, many horrible stories. People who've seemed to be able to live relatively normal lives, and BAM, in their twilight years, the terrors revisit their declining brains. Awful.

2:01 pm

NatashaW

Yes, I'm aware... although my own family were fortunate in not being shot and buried in a pit, we know many who have numbers tattooed on their arm, or who lost their entire families. But while that might justify the efforts to stop it, it doesn't wipe out remorse. It's an emotion not a fact...War truly has no real "winners."

You are so right Nat - War has no winners. When will people learn that? It floors me that people cannot get in their heads that between 65-100 million people - human beings - died in WWII. Why isn't that a deterrent?

I visited the Menin Gate and got quite emotional. I said to a friend'my dad fought at Paschendale'. She said 'did he survive'?I had to think for a minute - hang on I'm not THAT old!!!

2:35 pm

helenkeller

LOL Deeha

2:36 pm

NatashaW

Clue for ni6? My last word...

2:39 pm

helenkeller

Deeha - I was not familiar with that battle and so looked it up. And the reason is that it was a WWI battle! I'm guessing your older than me, and my parents had me late in life.

2:41 pm

helenkeller

Nat - I only just started, the only ni6 I have is the Biblical figure, or fool

2:42 pm

SamanthaJoy

*ahem* Ni6 was a mighty warrior, actually.

No idea how his name has come to mean what it does these days.

/pedantry

2:45 pm

helenkeller

SJ I wonder if OED can explain that. It's not pedantry, it's a very valid question. Makes one wonder . . .

2:47 pm

Gillie

Apparently, the meaning changed after Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck used it with reference to Elmer Fudd.

2:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, that's wonderful. That's not the first time sarcasm has changed the language!

icaridin or picaridin is the brand

I have used picaridin and have not been impressed.

time for a super random question?

9:59 pm

Pinikula

ask away

10:00 pm

MaMaWA

RU? NOT /

10:00 pm

Trifioso

I went on yet another job interview yesterday. When I asked "what are the next steps in this process?" the interviewer said "you will need to fill out a formal application, and we would need to take a copy of your driver's license. Why don't I just have you do that now?" I am taking that as a good sign....

10:01 pm

Trifioso

am I off base?

10:02 pm

MaMaWA

I still have nothing on that N

10:02 pm

Pinikula

I might take it as a good sign, but slightly guarded (they may say it to another top candidate). However, I'm rather surprised that they didn't request an application to reveiw before calling for an interview -- a little cart before the horse kinda thing?

10:02 pm

Pinikula

try the number before 10, mamawa

10:02 pm

nrkii

For that N... try NA4/6

10:03 pm

Pinikula

...but that's just my take on it, Trif...I could be off base, too

10:03 pm

Trifioso

thanks pini

10:03 pm

Trifioso

I just am so discouraged, at this point, that I will take any glimmer

10:03 pm

nrkii

na 5/10 and na 5/12 also from that middle N

10:04 pm

MaMaWA

I found an NA pinikula, my other n is done , but now I hve NBT , thanks

10:05 pm

10:08 pm

*sigh of relief* I'm crossing my fingers for you!!!

10:11 pm

Pinikula

I'm going through a search process now (for a new assistant).

10:17 pm

Trifioso

you are about to make someone's day!

10:18 pm

Pinikula

I hope so. The app period closes next week. Then review followed by interviews. Hopefully I can get the process done before school starts!

10:18 pm
