2:10 pm
rururocks
people who shoot up churches are the lowest of the low
2:11 pm

rururocks
churches and schools for that matter
2:11 pm
TraderKate

Agree with that Ruru, something I can never understand.
2:13 pm
rururocks
sad times...
2:14 pm
TraderKate
every day seems worse than the last. this can't continue :(
2:14 pm
beckyj
I just don't get it.
2:15 pm
rururocks
I am very pro death penalty for people who do such acts.. I never used to be .. but anyone who would hurt a child deserves no margin
2:17 pm
TraderKate
there were children among the wounded/dead?
noy a fan of death penalty, but certainly understand the sentiment ruru. :(
2:18 pm
rururocks
i don't know about that.. i was just thinking of the parkland shooting as a case in point
2:20 pm
TraderKate
ah... I have a real issue with the schools - not just because they're kids (Sandy Hook comes to mind especially because they were so young) but because a school (or a house of worship) should be a place of sanctuary...
2:21 pm
rururocks
the gun laws in our country must change...there is no reason for this to go like this
2:23 pm
TraderKate
No argument from me... no issue with hunters that eat what they hunt, but no one needs automatic or semiautomatic high powered rifles... or grenade launchers etc...
2:24 pm
rururocks
i have issues with hunters too.. but that's another discussion
2:25 pm

2:57 pm
TraderKate
think of games... old games that have been around forever...
3:00 pm
TraderKate
add a vowel to the 7/40
3:03 pm
beckyj
It was on the tip of my tongue!! Then you said add a vowel and it was like a lightbulb moment :')
3:04 pm
TraderKate
it's a tricky one same spelling but pronounced differently - throws the brain off
3:06 pm
beckyj
Exactly!! The second I read your second clue it was like my brain was putting the pieces together and when my brain landed on that vowel I went 'OOOOOOHhhhh it's!... *answer*' Haha
3:08 pm
beckyj
Nuts how much 1 vowel can make such a difference in pronunciation!
3:10 pm
TraderKate
likiely the game is from a different root language... se asia?
3:12 pm
beckyj
Well technically the origin of said game began/was played long before the American version in India so that's cool!
3:12 pm
TraderKate
yes, hindi and sanskrit origins.. jsut went looking :)
3:13 pm
TraderKate
** if I could remember half of what I learned here on Babble.... :D

.... this year they're usually calling me at dinner time the day before ... but if it's a morning call ... they start calling at 5:30 and if they haven't called me by 7:30 I book off because I don't drive and the bus isn't going to get me to a morning job any later than that
4:08 pm
TraderKate
ah... well, getting your call the night b efore works well. Not so great getting a call before the birds are awake. do you cover the whole GTA?
4:09 pm
TraderKate
On the railroad we had a huge area to cover when working the spareboard... on a two hour call!
4:10 pm
doseffing
... heavens no ... I cover the towns of Whitby, Ajax and Oshawa in Durham Region to the east of Toronto
4:10 pm
TraderKate
GO train territory ;)
4:10 pm
doseffing
... that's me ... 45 minutes to Union Station on an express ... 55 on a local
4:11 pm
TraderKate
You've likely been on a train I drove at one time or another :D
4:12 pm
doseffing
... if you did the Lakeshore East in the morning or in the evening from 1989 through 2006 ... or on random days since then ... then yes
4:12 pm
TraderKate
Great way to get around the whole region <3
4:13 pm
doseffing
... if only they'd finish the construction at Guildwood ... which is annoying ... and at Union ... which must be one of the great boondoggles of all time ... yes
4:14 pm
TraderKate
Definitely dose... I booked for the GOs as much as possible - only trains with a schedule - if I wasn't "lined into" a GO train I never knew when I was going to work because the freights go any time 24/7... at some point I've probably be at the throttle of a freight thta was in a GO train's way too ;)
4:15 pm
doseffing
... we'll forgive you for that ... ... now
4:16 pm
TraderKate
I haven't been in Union in a few years. I see pictures and it all looks so different!
I thnk they were adding another track into Guildwood?.. terribkle spot there because there is a steep grade, so it's a tough place to hold a freight to let a VIA or GO go through...
4:16 pm
TraderKate
haha... jsut 'cause I was in the way... I was only following the mitt.. dispatcher tells us whether to go or stay with the lights.
4:17 pm
