You're very welcome!

Matty, how is your grand girlie doing?

6:16 am

MollyL

homologous chromosome sets...yee gods

6:42 am

Alleyn58

Still trying to work out the pl8 - anyone prepared to give a further hint please?

6:46 am

mattygroves

She's great - 8 weeks old today. Sarah told me 'the baby's broken - she slept five and a half hours!' :) So all good

6:47 am

mattygroves

Alleyn, think 'dipl8' or hapl8 - remember, we're talking chromosomes here

6:47 am

mattygroves

And it's a plural, if that helps

6:49 am

Alleyn58

It helped enormously - thank you - got it.

6:49 am

mattygroves

You're welcome!

6:51 am

MollyL

Matty how is it going with your new "roommate"? Or has that happened yet?

7:36 am

hokie carla

so you can re5(s) your garden but you can't re6(p) it

7:37 am

BzznBea

Sounds about right for enable.

7:37 am

hokie carla

yep

7:39 am

BzznBea

How is the rv reno coming?

7:41 am

hokie carla

pretty good. I realized when I started the curtain project that I didn't really take fullness into account so then I had to do some creative cutting and seam allowances. then decided I am going to have to use curtain rings at least on the one window for it to be long enough

7:41 am

hokie carla

but the wallpaper I put up on Fri was still up when I went over last night so that's good

7:42 am

BzznBea

Always a good thing to have wallpaper still hanging. =)

7:43 am

BzznBea

This puzzle isn't flowing well.

7:43 am

hokie carla

gonna have to do some straightening up of things and paint touch-ups. also have to put the new lighting/switches in and finish the new cabinet hardware. The new screws don't fit the drawers so I need to find the old ones down in the basement here where we took them off to paint

7:44 am

hokie carla

I'm just on the 2nd row and have almost made halfway but only grayed 1 tile so far.

7:44 am

hokie carla

make that 3!

7:46 am

hokie carla

oh, just found an internet acronym in the grid, molly will be so happy. IDGAF

7:48 am

MollyL

Watch it, or you will be summarily called out in "someone's" profile

7:49 am

BzznBea

Now they are calling you out in their profiles?

7:49 am

hokie carla

just for a bad word? that is accepted by enable? IDGAF

7:50 am

MollyL

I don't really give one either. These people amuse me with their histrionics.

7:54 am

player girl

Hi all. Happy Sunday. I am looking for the top corner R and the single E in the first column, third row. Any help, please?

BzznBea

You always get the Spanish.

8:04 am

hokie carla

that one's not spanish

8:04 am

BzznBea

You are right...

8:05 am

hokie carla

now I've gotta look for spanish words. don't think I've found any yet.

8:06 am

MollyL

I rarely see that Spanish word, or the Italian word that means the same thing. Probably because I don't use them.

8:07 am

hokie carla

I keep wanting to make azure

8:07 am

BzznBea

Is there a fetus word today?

8:08 am

BzznBea

I keep thinking I see one but can't find it.

8:08 am

hokie carla

pl u

8:08 am

MollyL

There is a fetus home word

8:09 am

MollyL

I think Bea is wanting to see one of those Brit fetus words with the extra vowel

8:10 am

hokie carla

ah, yes, I don't ever see those but you are right, it's almost there

8:10 am

BzznBea

I got that womb.

8:11 am

hokie carla

I need 2 t's from each t. are they combos or not? can't imagine what I'm missing.

8:12 am

BzznBea

I'm missing lots of T's

8:20 am

MollyL

It is referred to as "The Attack of The Fun Police". No more sandboxes, no more monkey bars, no more merry-go-rounds.

8:21 am

BzznBea

Everything is being banned. We might as well be a communist country.

8:21 am

MollyL

No more ball pits, no more tire swings. I'm glad my kids got to enjoy those things.

8:21 am

hokie carla

we also had a big rope hanging from the gym ceiling that people actually climbed up and touched the rafters. I doubt that its still there.

8:21 am

hokie carla

1 R left

8:21 am

MollyL

I'm surprised swings are still allowed.

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Ha, I just washed dishes, switched laundry (load 3 of 4), and checked on seedlings in containers on the back deck.

10:00 am

Scrabbler

I will refill feeders later.

10:10 am

cybernan

hello everyone - another rainy day in paradise :)

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no.

10:16 am

cybernan

oh well -- lot's of rain = not as many forest fires and there isn't anything going on anywhere this summer.

10:17 am

Scrabbler

But sunshine improves mood.

10:17 am

hokie carla

no feeders needed here, they just help themselves to my deck garden

10:18 am

Scrabbler

The chipmunks bite the tops off of my sunflower seedlings, yet I still try every spring.

The squirrels are acrobats as they reach and hang from bird feeders.

10:33 am

rururocks

try leaving strong pot out for them une

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

10:33 am

rururocks

oh... not that kind of inhaling :D

10:37 am

MollyL

Have you all seen the squirrel spinner? Very amusing.

rururocks

something ate all my cara cara oranges and left the peels on the lawn in the back.. probably a possum

10:44 am

Scrabbler

The plural of wombs always gets me. I need to stop missing that word.

10:45 am

rururocks

makes you womb-batty?

10:45 am

Scrabbler

It gives me cramps.

10:49 am

rururocks

i'm glad i don't get cramps

10:50 am

Scrabbler

My womb was useless for me and gave me nothing by trouble.

10:50 am

Scrabbler

*but

10:51 am

rururocks

now its a womb with a view

10:53 am

rururocks

this grid is harder than it looked at first

10:55 am

phaeton

hello...not seeing the po8 help?

10:56 am

cybernan

a lot of crazy words I've never seen before -- went to the list with 57 to go and still monkeying a lot of them

10:56 am

Scrabbler

I have neither 8.

10:57 am

phaeton

pl8 has to do with chromosomes

10:58 am

phaeton

found the po8

10:58 am

cybernan

haven't found the po 8 -- a clue please phaeton?

10:59 am

hokie carla

10:59 am

Scrabbler

Ha, I don't have that either.

11:00 am

cybernan

ty carla

11:00 am

hurshy

Ts Trampled!

11:01 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go. I need simple clues for pl8 and po8, please.

11:01 am

hokie carla

still have 2 t's from 2 tiles left and 1 from the 3rd

11:01 am

hurshy

i haven't done any P words yet

11:01 am

MollyL

I was fallopian there would be some ut5 puns

11:01 am

cybernan

carla just clued the po 8

11:01 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought my po8 was simple

11:01 am

hurshy

i find that i get more words if i focus on one letter at a time

11:02 am

hokie carla

me too, but then I get stuck

11:02 am

rururocks

I would have.. but then I'd be called worse than hitler

11:02 am

Scrabbler

Not simple enough for me.

11:03 am

hokie carla

a lot of business owners looked at their buildings po8 to check the damage

11:03 am

hurshy

it is compound word:
from pillar to ______ + there was looting in the _______

11:03 am

therealblah

scrab do you have the po 4/5

11:03 am

cybernan

po : after + what the crowds in the streets do every day in the states right now -- smash windows, etc

11:03 am

Scrabbler

Yes

11:04 am

MollyL

Wow Nan, that is a big over generalization

11:04 am

hokie carla

eggzactly, ru

11:04 am

hurshy

mine no helpy?

11:04 am

hokie carla

maybe she meant some other states

11:05 am

Scrabbler

Looting in the st***8?

11:05 am

rururocks

i keep hoping she'll get ovum it someday hokie :D

11:05 am

hurshy

no, it was a mob and they were having a _____ which included yelling burning and looting

11:05 am

Scrabbler

Got it now, TY, Nan.

11:05 am

Scrabbler

Now I need pl8

11:06 am

cybernan

I don't think so, Molly -- it is all we've seen on our news (other than Trump trying to pretend that covid-19 doesn't exist) on the TV news channels for over a week now.

11:07 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, Nan, there is ri**ing everywhere.

11:07 am

cybernan

sorry - that came out garbled -- was interrupted in the middle of typing it

11:07 am

hurshy

well, i know that when i read news out of india, it seems like women are being raped every second there, but when i spoke with someone from india, he (granted, it was a he) did not think that it was as common as it might seem on the news

11:07 am

rururocks

the riots are a small part of this nan.. it's much bigger than that

11:07 am

hokie carla

ends in not lives, starts out sounding like a plan to scheme someone but with a vowel instead of the sometimes vowel (pl8).

11:08 am

hokie carla

and that is way less simple clue than my po8 clues, so sorry about that

11:08 am

hokie carla

hurshy or ru, what are my 2 missing t's from right corner?

11:08 am

rururocks

finally got that lone a jeeeeeez

11:09 am

hokie carla

yeah, that one was tough, ru

11:09 am

cybernan

I realize that, Ru -- I wasn't talking about the message from the peaceful protesters -- I was talking about the hoodlums still taking advantage of the protests to do their vandalizing and thieving.

11:09 am

hurshy

ermmm... maybe to5/18 and plural? (a second pair besides the regular rapunzel words)

11:09 am

rururocks

little tow trucks hokie :D

11:09 am

Scrabbler

I found pl8 on Morewords.

11:09 am

hokie carla

argh, thanks, ru

11:10 am

hokie carla

now how about my 2 t's from 4th row?

11:10 am

hurshy

tu4 perhaps

11:10 am

rururocks

that hasn't really happened that much nationally nan.. rioting is just a small issue

11:10 am

hokie carla

and thx hurshy, you also got it right even though I didn't see your guess

11:10 am

hurshy

maybe to7

11:11 am

hokie carla

tu4 was one

11:11 am

cybernan

not according the news we've been getting

11:11 am

hokie carla

to7 must be the other

11:11 am

rururocks

there hasn't been all that much rioting it's mostly been peaceful except for some police action lately

11:11 am

hokie carla

never mind, I have a to7

11:11 am

rururocks

you're getting filtered news then nan

11:12 am

hokie carla

we had some ri4 last weekend but haven't heard of any lately

11:12 am

cybernan

no - I think we are getting unfiltered news -- unfiltered by the US government

11:12 am

Scrabbler

But the rioting and looting are causing such damage and destruction. So sad.

11:12 am

hurshy

not as sad as the stuff that happens that makes people protest

11:13 am

rururocks

exactly hursh

11:13 am

cybernan

I don't think it is the protesters who are rioting

11:14 am

hokie carla

I just know early on in the protests our local news was covering the riots here but haven't seen any lately, so either they've stopped, or I stopped checking the news, or the govt made our local news stop covering it which is what nan is implying?

11:14 am

rururocks

no.. it's usually scumbags who take advantage of the situration

11:14 am

hurshy

yeah, it seems like it is a lot of times other people taking advantage, but idk what can be done about that. people aren't going to not protest because others might take advantage of it to be violent.

11:15 am

hurshy

Ss Shackled!

11:15 am

hokie carla

I've seen several instances of the protestors trying to get the rioters to stop what they were doing

11:15 am

hokie carla

still need 3 s's if you want to try to guess ;)

11:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but the rioting/looting is so devastating to business people.

11:16 am

rururocks

considering all the protests nationally scrabs the looting is not that high

11:16 am

cybernan

the rioting does seem to be slowing down now. The root cause of the protests, however, seems to be escalating and having a president that supports legalized violence doesn

11:16 am

hurshy

then maybe the business people need to do more speaking up on behalf of the vulnerable

11:16 am

cybernan

help

11:17 am

Trifioso

hello friends

11:17 am

hurshy

hey look, my cat fritz is in the grid! he's a pe4

11:17 am

Scrabbler

It destructive and embarrassing to the cause of the polite protesters.

11:17 am

hurshy

indeed, it is.

11:17 am

hokie carla

hurshy, that doesn't really make sense because if the looters are just taking advantage of a situation and not part of the protest, then how is the bus. leaders speaking up for the protest going to help?

11:17 am

MollyL

One of the many reasons I don't watch the news is that news stations put their own spin on what is really happening. The days of reporting real news are long over.

11:17 am

hurshy

if society were such that these protests were not necessary, then there would be nothing to take advantage of and no destruction, hokie.

11:18 am

hokie carla

it's not going to make them stop and think about who they're vandalizing or stealing from

11:18 am

cybernan

2nd te 6 please?

11:18 am

Trifioso

spoke to my stepmother, aka "trumps biggest fan" yesterday - she was going on and on about how the protesters are COMPLETELY to blame for the spikes in COVID. Nothing I could say would dissuade her.

11:18 am

hurshy

i'm talking longer term and bigger picture, not "in the moment", hokie

11:18 am

rururocks

I don't know hurshy I think this is a big step forward for America ..

11:19 am

hokie carla

yeah, but I'm saying nothing is going to stop those "in the moment" looters.

11:19 am

rururocks

it may not change much in the south, but it certainly will in other urban centers

11:19 am

hurshy

ruru what i'm saying is, if these problems already did not exist, because the people in privileged positions did what was necessary to create a society where all people were treated properly, then these protests would not be needed

11:19 am

Trifioso

well stated, hurshy

11:20 am

hokie carla

2nd one I have nan is horse related, part that hooks to reins. rhymes with an animal that some people keep as a pet, may be a rodent

11:20 am

rururocks

that'd be nice hursh.. but we have to work to get there first

11:20 am

hurshy

it is always down the the wealthy and the powerful serving their own interests rather than serving all the people, in the end, that is the root cause of it all

11:20 am

Uneaixoise

Don't discount the south, ru

11:20 am

hokie carla

also, don't generalize the south

11:20 am

cybernan

That is the 3rd one carla

11:21 am

MollyL

Where have all these protesters been all this time? What happened to George Floyd is nothing new. It has been going on for years.

11:21 am

rururocks

Maybe when all those confederate flags go away hokie

11:21 am

Trifioso

people have been protesting police brutality for YEARS molly

11:21 am

hurshy

there have been previous protests, but i would imagine the COVID situation somehow contributes to the protests being bigger this time. more people out of work and thus available to take to the streets.

11:22 am

Bethjt

The protesters are mostly young and wouldn't have alive when Rodney KIng was beaten in the 1990's.

11:22 am

MollyL

I agree Hursh

11:22 am

Trifioso

where where the "all lives matter" people when Asians were being blamed for Corona? When gay and transgender rights were stripped by the president? When women's right were rolled back?

11:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I drive by 2 or 3 giant ones when traveling on NC roads. private property, not state related. you can't argue with those people. they think the flag is part of what makes them southern and refuse to see the link to how black people view it.

11:23 am

Trifioso

funny how "all lives matter" only became a thing when "black lives matter" became a thing

11:23 am

hokie carla

nan, the first one I have is part of another name for seesaw.

11:24 am

MollyL

Probably because black lives matter singles out a certain population of lives. I do believe that all lives matter. And that discrimination against any race or creed is wrong.

11:24 am

hurshy

the second and third te6 appear to be homonyms

11:25 am

hurshy

the reason black lives matter singles out a population is because that population is singled out for mistreatment.

11:25 am

MollyL

I see discrimination aganist Hispanics every day and have heard stories about police brutality against Hispanics. No one is out protesting against that.

11:25 am

hokie carla

but charlotte is pretty progressive, very large black population, so I wouldn't count it out of the urban centers just because it's in the south

11:26 am

rururocks

not for gay people hokie

11:26 am

hurshy

well, many people do regularly talk about "black and brown" lives being less valued than others, on a global scale as well as an american one.

11:26 am

Trifioso

I agree, hokie - I feel like charlotte gets a bum rap because that is where the people got mowed down at the protest

11:26 am

MollyL

Oh Hurshy, do you REALLY believe that only black people are mistreated?

11:26 am

hurshy

but when you need a short, catchy slogan

11:27 am

hurshy

i believe that minorities are mistreated disproportionately compared to whites. i don't believe that black lives matter intentionally overlooks the other minorities, just, again, when you need a short, catchy slogan...

11:27 am

hokie carla

that was Charlottesville, VA, Trif, unless I'm missing one in Charlotte

11:27 am

Trifioso

oh man, I am sorry.

11:28 am

Trifioso

there goes my credibility for all time

11:28 am

rururocks

oh man you might be right hokie I get my Charlottes mixed up

11:28 am

hurshy

lol trif, we all make mistakes

11:28 am

hokie carla

ru, are you referring to the whole bathroom thing? everyone in Charlotte was against that.

11:28 am

hurshy

Charlotte Mountbatten-Windsor is super cute

11:28 am

hokie carla

LOL, Trif

11:28 am

rururocks

then how did it pass hokie

11:29 am

hokie carla

the rest of the state

11:29 am

rururocks

at first at least until there was backlash

11:29 am

hurshy

can someone repeat the pl8 clue (sorry)?

11:29 am

hurshy

nevermind

11:29 am

rururocks

sounds like a planet hurshy pl8

11:29 am

hurshy

i remembered enough of it to get it

11:30 am

hurshy

star cluster, not planet :D

11:30 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't even know what the current bathroom law is. I've been to plenty of restaurants that just have one.

11:31 am

hokie carla

FYI - Charlotte metro is 2.8 million per wiki. Charlottesville is way, way smaller. (and the home of all Hokies' bitter rival, UVA)

11:32 am

hurshy

Rs Ravaged!

11:32 am

rururocks

how many conferderate statues are there in Charlotte hokie?

11:33 am

Trifioso

i can't get the star cluster clue....I know the name of the cluster, can't make the word work - how aggravating

11:34 am

hurshy

the vowel sound in it is more like the vowel sound from the pig noise

11:34 am

hokie carla

I don't know of any. Was thinking of that the other day. It is a fairly new city as far as that goes. I moved here in 1995 and it has grown tremendously since then.

11:34 am

Trifioso

hah! the perfect nudge - thank you hurshy!

11:34 am

MollyL

Hurshy gives good nudge

11:35 am

Trifioso

hurshy, have you seen "land girls" on netflix? perfect watch for anglophiles....

11:35 am

rururocks

it's been a while since I've had a good nudge

11:36 am

rururocks

wow this grid is just impossible now

11:36 am

hokie carla

ok, just googled, ru, and apparently there are 2 (or there were in 2017 when this was written)

11:37 am

rururocks

maybe not for long hokie

11:37 am

hokie carla

one is an obelisk in a cemetery with lots of confederate soldiers buried there. not sure how I feel about that. I mean, they were soldiers and died, do we pretend like they never existed?

11:37 am

Trifioso

ha! personal growth! i remembered the ai pasta, and spelled it correctly! thank you babble!

11:38 am

hurshy

yes, i have seen land girls

11:38 am

hokie carla

ha, trif! I thought I saw that earlier and couldn't make it happen, but it's there now.

11:38 am

rururocks

ai pasta?

11:39 am

hokie carla

it's really more of a condiment

11:39 am

Trifioso

well done, hokie, and I am glad, hurshy - I found it a delightful distraction in isolation

11:39 am

rururocks

oh

11:39 am

rururocks

that i have

11:39 am

Trifioso

oh, is that what that is? okay. I am just a font of misinformation today

11:40 am

rururocks

adagio is my phantom today

11:40 am

rururocks

ai5 is like a garlicy mayonnaise trif

11:40 am

rururocks

from france

11:40 am

Trifioso

i'll just stop chogging, I think

11:40 am

hokie carla

the other statue is troublesome, it's a marker commemorating a 1929 reunion of conf. soldiers and talks about the state & city's love and gratitude toward the soldiers

11:41 am

rururocks

but it does sound like pasta

11:42 am

hurshy

i think the key is to grab on to what we learned from vietnam. that we should not blame and spit on individual soldiers (unless they are guilty of ordering atrocities like my lai), while we repudiate the powers that send them to fight.

11:43 am

moolingwa

morning all

11:43 am

11:57 am

hurshy

cnan, the second and third look like homonyms

11:57 am

hokie carla

must be one of my missing 2 t's, which tile is it from?

11:58 am

hurshy

the second is from the lower T, and has a plural for a 7

11:58 am

hokie carla

I just need one from the lower t though

11:59 am

hokie carla

I thought she said the ones I clued were not it

Is anyone having trouble with this site?

12:00 pm

hokie carla

12:00 pm

cybernan

ruru - would you please clue the 2nd te 6/18?

12:00 pm

hurshy

excuse me, it's the third that has a plural

12:00 pm

hurshy

the second is a homonym of the third tho

12:00 pm

gramma

I put words in and they won't type into the box or I try to chat and it won't allow me to send.

12:00 pm

rururocks

te + the beginning of bringing back something + vowel nan

12:00 pm

rururocks

we have it all the time

12:01 pm

hokie carla

by homonym, you mean sounds the same or means the same?

12:01 pm

hurshy

sounds

12:01 pm

hokie carla

got it, thx, ru

12:01 pm

hurshy

homophone i guess is the proper word then? sorry

12:01 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy *!*~*!*

12:01 pm

hokie carla

that was throwing me, in my mind they don't sound the same

12:02 pm

hurshy

well it looks like you're right, they don't sound the same, they just looked it to me

12:02 pm

hokie carla

yes, homophone sounds the same. just looked up homonym to make sure I knew that - spelled the same but different meanings

12:02 pm

hurshy

sigh

12:04 pm

cybernan

hagd everyone - stay safe :)

12:04 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to have to get back to work so moo can catch up. 15 left. BBL

12:33 pm

hurshy

12:34 pm

hurshy

and po8 is the compound

12:35 pm

moolingwa

well that's one of them...14 words to go

12:37 pm

hurshy

12:40 pm

moolingwa

12:40 pm

hokie carla

but it's in the grid!

12:40 pm

hurshy

di7 x 2, ee7, es7, fa7, fo7, pe7, pL7, re7, te7 x 3, to7

12:41 pm

hokie carla

es7 is my missing one

12:41 pm

hurshy

it's another that sounds chemistry oriented

12:42 pm

hurshy

so if we all have the same missing D word, it is a 5

12:42 pm

moolingwa

I have an unsual d5

12:43 pm

hurshy

do tell

12:43 pm

moolingwa

di5

12:43 pm

hokie carla

all the d5s I have are plurals or comparatives

12:43 pm

moolingwa

the one I gave is not either

12:44 pm

moolingwa

and I have all the d's, so I suspect that's the one you're looking for

12:44 pm

hurshy

i'm sure it is!

12:44 pm

hokie carla

well, it's like my brain has gone on strike. not seeing that, or the oi5, or the es7

12:45 pm

hurshy

oi5 is 80% vowels

12:45 pm

moolingwa

es sounds like a female hormone

12:45 pm

moolingwa

di has the high scoring tile in it

12:47 pm

hokie carla

this is all making me dizee

12:48 pm

moolingwa

Yes Molly, you were indeed told to FUCK OFF, for making a snarky crack about me, having never had one encounter with me prior. You deserved it. You have yet to apologize. But I'm glad to see it's still with you. Yeah, poor, poor Molly. If you had indeed not only considered the source, but knew even one thing about her, you probably wouldn't have made your aggressive, superior than thou remark.

7:42 pm

akazev

Why don't you both grow up

8:02 pm

rbud

Back for my last 40, and wow. Not sure who's more snarky, aggressive and/or superior... nor do I care, thankfully. Sigh...

8:04 pm

HarryHood

well I don't know....if somebody is claiming that people with issues of sexual trigger words endured things " worse than most of the things Hitler did" I'd think twice before taking anything they say at face value.

8:06 pm

HarryHood

I do believe that all my great aunts and uncles and cousins would have gladly endured sexual harrassment rather than inhale zyklon b gas. But hey, that's just me. And Queen Noor is an anti semite.

8:07 pm

how about aw 4/8? have we had that discussion before and I missed it? is that not an acronym?

8:23 pm

rururocks

i would think it is Rb

8:24 pm

doseffing

... it is ... but it became used enough to be considered as a word ...

8:24 pm

helenkeller

Harry, that's not quite what I said. Also. the 2 are separate issues. I am responding to poor Molly, yet again, complaining that I told her to FUCK OFF. She has not clue as to who I am, what my family background is. My parents were both in camps, starved, beaten, tortured. . . I am not Jewish. Jews are human, not perfect by any means, but they have set themselves up as the great sufferers, so we must all watch our steps. No. My mother smuggled 1000's of forged documents to get mostly Jews out of Berlin. You don't want to take that at face value - your loss. your problem. I don't know Harry & it's too late to ask them - but this is not simple sexual harassment that happened during the war - it was done for sadistic pleasure, some people underwent this type of torture for months. My father did, for 8 months in the Lubyanka. Thank the stars he was able to withstand that, only to get to Siberia. But, I'm very willing to wager there were many, many others who would have begged for gas as opposed to going through what he did.

8:26 pm

helenkeller

rbud - if you really don't care, don't comment. It's not your fight.

8:27 pm

HarryHood

sometimes the kids have the perfect expression for a particular situation: "I literally can't even"

8:27 pm

helenkeller

Noor, an anti-Semite? Jordan has been one of the most supportive Arab countries toward Israel.

8:28 pm

rbud

IT'S NOT A FIGHT AT ALL!! It's a game! And THAT I DO care about. Please take the politics and rants to other places.

8:28 pm

helenkeller

No, you can't Harry. Because this is serious stuff, and you clearly know nothing much about it, or how it affects future generations.

8:29 pm

helenkeller

rbud - then tell your pal Molly to stop harping on it.

8:30 pm

rbud

She's not my pal, I'm just not as hair-triggered as you. Nor do I see anyone harping. Well, almost no one.

8:30 pm

ls1

we all have stories, but there's a time and place. can we leave the chat for encouraging and uplifting people? can it be one place where we can hold our anger and enjoy eachothers mostly anonymous company?

8:31 pm

HarryHood

I'm not getting into this. You are not worth it. But you're getting me riled up and I don't like it, so I'm shutting the chat, which I've never done before. I have never encountered you, and I hope I never do again.

8:33 pm

helenkeller

Sure, if it were indeed an encouraging and uplifting place ls1. But certain people, Molly for one, are condescending and mean.

8:33 pm

libarebel

Hey, Helen-- I love you (for real)

8:33 pm

nrkii

Seriously, how many more people will get pushed out of babble because of this shit?

8:35 pm

helenkeller

Ask Molly, she''s always pulling the trigger. She's the one bringing it up. I will not sit by & take her sniping. Better question is: How many people have already been pushed out because of her?

8:35 pm

helenkeller

Back atcha ls1. Long time, no see.

8:36 pm

helenkeller

sorry *lib*

8:36 pm

libarebel

Too long-- I tend to lurk unless it's important...

8:36 pm

ls1

Why not? don't be manipulated by other's snipes, this isn't the place for lashing out in anger. take care of yourself and let others' words roll off. Molly is not part of your life, so don't put the burden or credit on her.

8:37 pm

nrkii

Molly is Molly. Most days, her commentary is relatively benign, and she offers clues and comments like everyone else. She is overly snarky and critical, and sometimes slips over the line to be unkind. Granted. But at least in the chat I can see from scrolling, Molly made one snipe and you, helen, turned it into a litany of complaint. I get it. I understand your hurt feelings, and I support you. But look around at all the others in this chat, who maybe don't want to relive every fight here. I'm sorry to say it helen, but it's draining my emotional energy to see a protracted fight most times I look at chat.

8:38 pm

nrkii

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

8:40 pm

ls1

why not assume that Molly has her own story, as does everyone. why not err on the side of kindness (thanks nrkii)

8:40 pm

helenkeller

Might as well say hk is hk. Used to chat up a storm, left for a long time, came back, only to find a little comment I made was harshly rebutted with 'what else I should be doing." I am also not the one always bringing it up. I haven't once. But I will not let her slither by as if she is the wounded party here.

8:42 pm

libarebel

right now, this country this reached the boiling point where people can no longer stand the Racism, cruelty and abuse of the innocent by armed thugs-- we should all be so sensitized by what's going on & be really aware of how thoughtless words can bring horrible acts of unthinkable cruelty to mind...

8:42 pm

helenkeller

I've watched that kindness strategy & it doesn't work on her. Once a person is on her naughty list, the shunning begins. Can't take the credit for that one, someone told me that was the pattern.

8:42 pm

libarebel

*has*

8:44 pm

nrkii

{HK} getting shunned by Molly is really not the worst thing. And Molly, I'm sorry I'm being blunt, but I know you are aware that sometimes you go too far. Every once in a while, it's important someone says "fuck off" to remind us when we do go too far. So feel free to say that to me now. :)

8:45 pm

libarebel

My icon suggests that I don't care-- it's a front...

8:45 pm

nrkii

And with that, I'll leave my babble grid for the night. May cooler heads prevail another night.

8:46 pm

helenkeller

thank you nrkii

8:46 pm

rururocks

of course nrkii it all depends on who says fuck off doesn't it

8:47 pm

don't fuck off, nrkii!

HK, I am curious ... what did Molly say today?

8:53 pm

I ask because I can't see anything offensive.

8:55 pm

libarebel

I think that the family of (yet another) Black man shot in the BACK by Fascist thugs (police) would be very sensitive to any bigoted, racist comments-- we should all be very careful of what we say as to not cause another pain...

Mental health is a real problem. No clue what the answer is for that, esp if the husband won't help.

Even with a lot of help, the mentally ill seldom live normal lives. But some meds would probably help her.
