2:15 am
grannyrose
and zooz has ambled off again, bless him.
2:20 am
jwr
pop-in: no, zooz. I was thinking of the many many weeks when the words wouldn't print out on the right side of the grid, so I had to use lickety. Unless you had an infinite memory that would hold 150 words at a time or wrote them all down (ugh!). I almost quit before I realized I could work the grid using lickety and then transfer everything I had to the grid. I got used to it after awhile.
2:21 am

2:22 am

hi rose, zooz gone? hmmm. And I haven't heard from sprite after an email I wrote for her dictionary. Rose, the next time you talk to her, could you ask if she got it.

Oops, Nan already used that one

it's probably going to give us trombone-sis if we keep this up

What Ru fails to realize is that if you put an S in front of trumpet, you get a whole different thing that won't send you off the deep end.
11:31 am

And hush about Trump or you'll get Nan going again
11:31 am

I am getting more hopeful that the trumpet will be drummed out of office

people can only hope, Nan

hopefully the younger generation will mobilize again

11:34 am

they are already aren't they? hopefully social media will shut them down
11:34 am

i hope so nan... but when it comes to actually voting and doing something the younger generation is pretty apathetic generally
11:34 am

it is just so difficult when you have a would be dictator directing things from the top

It's weird how no one is concerned about Biden's displays of cognitive impairment or the sexual harassment claims. It's like Bozo the Clown could run against Trump and get elected.
11:43 am
cybernan
they won't be able to get the huge tax breaks or make huge profits off of the necessities of life that people struggle to afford right now (medical care being at the top of that list)
11:46 am
cybernan
cognitive impairment? an no proof of harassment that has been published --- probably just another attempt by trump to start rumours --- when it comes to sexual harrassment Trump is at the top of the heap and shouldn't throw stones
11:46 am
rururocks
well.. there is a woman who was a staffer for Biden who said he harassed her... but trump is a proven predator
11:47 am
Aussieme
Very true nan
11:47 am

I need to remember today's chat

11:48 am

i'll vote for Biden molly since Bozo hasn't signed up yet
11:49 am

I'm sorry molly that you don't seem to recognize that the world sees Trump as a total disaster and while at first we just laughed and made fun of him, we now feel sorry and embarrassed for you as a people, and very concerned about the danger he represents to the free world.
11:50 am
MollyL
Well Ru, Kanye has. Close enough.
11:50 am
rururocks
that's all we need is Kris Jenner to be the Secretary of State
11:50 am
MollyL
Oh I recognize all that Nan. I just don't think Biden is going to do any better of a job.
11:51 am
MollyL
And you don't need to feel "embarrassed" for us. Thanks though.
11:51 am
rururocks
I think he will Molly.. he'll surround himself with Smart People who can accomplish things..
11:51 am
rururocks
Trump just wants yes people
11:52 am
cybernan
Trump wants an oligarchy like Putin has.
11:53 am
gingin
I fail to see how anyone can think Biden would do a poor job as president. He was a well-respected Vice President for 8 years with a proven track record of accomplishments. He was well respected by the world at large. In other words, the complete antithisis of the impeached fat orange hog-in-chief.
11:53 am
MollyL
You know who I wonder about? Hillary Clinton. If the Amercian people were so desperate to keep her out of office that they voted Trump in, what does that say about her?
11:53 am
rururocks
if that happens i hope we don't have to see pictures of him riding a horse with no shirt on
11:53 am
MollyL
Well good gingin. You are about to get just what you want.
11:54 am
cybernan
It says that with his friends' help, Trump managed to sling enough mud to squeeze himself into office
11:55 am
MollyL
You have the most unique view on things Nan.
11:55 am
gingin
Molly, it says that people are desperately afraid of having strong women in positions of power in this country. The intelligence level of most tRump supporters is desperately low and they are willing to believe anything the rethuglicans have to say about anyone that disagrees with their agenda.
11:56 am
gingin
Ru...I bet we won't see pictures of Biden's wife with no clothes, doing a porn shoot with another woman.
11:57 am

Hillary was leading in the polls until 3 weeks before the election when it was "accidentally leaked" that her e-mails were being investigated again ---- of course after the damage was done, it was announce that there was nothing to investigagte.
11:57 am
rururocks
i was talking about Trump riding shirtless emulating his hero putin
11:57 am

11:58 am

She is definitely erudite and one of the finest public speakers we currently have
12:06 pm

I think Bidin certainly let everyone know how much he understands people's frustration with the current administration and what he plans to do about it
12:07 pm
rururocks
I wanted Barack to be more forceful in his speech... but perhaps there is some kind of limit to how direct he could be in attacking the following president
12:08 pm

I agree aussie.. i like her a lot

I think that is correct, ru

Considering the lies and terrible things the impeached one has said about Obama, the bar is pretty low, here.
12:09 pm
KnightTime
Yes Clinton has said some bad things about Obama
12:10 pm
gingin
I think that President Carter and Rosalyn are pretty classy people, as well. they have spent their lives in public service and engaged in projects that help others, like Habitat.
12:10 pm

Knight, you are being willfully obtuse!
12:11 pm

You said "impeached one" - I thought you meant Clinton

Obama's speech appealed to intelligent people, but to reach the republican base... it went over their heads I think... it didn't have enough conviction or power to it
12:16 pm
rururocks
that's just my opinion.. he could have used a little Bernie Sanders punch or two
12:16 pm

wow -- big announcement here -- anyone or any establishment not following self-distancing and event guidelines regarding covid prevention will be getting $2000 fines and where it is warranted have liquor licenses with drawn. This will now be patrolled and enforced by police and health officers. Maybe we will finally rid our province of new cases and outbreaks resulting from street and beach parties.

wish they'd do that here in my neighborhood where latino families are still having big backyard parties
12:21 pm

time to go.. interesting discussion.. glad it was civil
12:22 pm

agreed - Ru - although calling someone an "orange fat hog" may not qualify as "civil"
12:23 pm

Perhaps not quite civil, but certainly accurate!

So many of us here in the States envy our neighbors to the north. Trudeau is such a fine man and a leader to be proud of.

Trudeau was the least of all evils at our last election -- he certainly does a lot of things I don't like

Try comparing him with our malignant orange buffoon and you may find a greater appreciation for what you have!

I hear rumblings that they may give UBI another go. I am all for it. it will streamline the system, get rid of many bloated, expensive government offices, and allow those who need help the most to make it through this COVID year with dignity while taking vcare to keep their loved ones safe.
12:37 pm
cybernan
as long as they find some way to eliminate the freeloaders
12:40 pm

I think the idea will be to have it as a threshhold top-up in conjunction with employment if applicable, but if the job is closed due to COVID then adjustments can be made.
12:41 pm
swmbo
Good afternoon! What an interesting conversation! I agree with my Canadian cohorts: Trudeau is far from perfect, but he has given very good leadership during COVID. What is UBI?
12:43 pm
Wendrie
Evening all - I presume UBI is Universal Basic Income.
12:43 pm
swmbo
I think you may be right. If it is, I will vote for it.
12:44 pm
Wendrie
It's been tried in a couple of places with great success. But it does require people to realise they need to work and pay into the system, which can be a cultural change for some.
12:44 pm
cybernan
that's it, wendrie -- good evening to you
12:47 pm
Wendrie
Gorgeous evening here, windy but with blue skies :)
12:48 pm
swmbo
Lovely here in Nova Scotia too. Warm and breezy.
12:48 pm
cybernan
are you still here saanich -- apparently there is a python wandering your neighbourhood
12:49 pm
cybernan
or should I say slithering through
12:50 pm

UBI will not be that much of a reach for us. The savings over the current bifurcated system will be substantial, and after all we uare used to paying for thisgs as a group for the betterment of all. it is basically how our universal healthcare is funded.

re 6/21 please?
12:55 pm

the re 6/21 I have builds on the re 4/5 before
12:56 pm

the next two build on 4 letter words
12:56 pm

Hello friends.
12:57 pm
Wendrie
second one is linked to an industry Trump assured everyone he was bringing back...
12:57 pm
cybernan
and it isn't to cloak again
12:58 pm
BzznBea
Just taking a look at today's grid. Been busy and still have work to do. May see you all tomorrow.
12:58 pm
BzznBea
Until next time....
12:58 pm
cybernan
monkeyed it -- silly word - wonder if there is a def
12:58 pm
lbuxx
could we leave the trump bashing out? or is that a thing here now too?
12:58 pm
Wendrie
bye Bea!
12:59 pm
cybernan
as I thought - no def
1:00 pm
Wendrie
I found one for that 6/21 - to re fuel an engine
1:00 pm
cybernan
whatever is deserved Ibuxx
1:00 pm
cybernan
he has just gone too far for people to think twice about bashing anymore
1:01 pm
cybernan
that was it wendrie
1:01 pm
lbuxx
opinions are like butt holes though...lol
1:01 pm
lbuxx
and some of us think otherwise
1:01 pm
swmbo
yeah, he is pretty bash-worthy
1:01 pm
lbuxx
so ya'll on are board with dementia Joe then? That will have such a better outcome...lol

1:02 pm
MollyL
You know, I never cared for Obama the entire time he was in office. However I did not resort to name calling.
1:02 pm
lbuxx
but when all you have is opinions it's fairly easy to resort to name calling. In my opinion...lol
1:03 pm
MollyL
Forget it lbuxx. I tried to make that point earlier. Apparently Biden doesn't have dementia. It's all a Trump conspiracy. These people are on the inside track, don't you know.
1:03 pm
cybernan
at least he wouldn't try to shut down the post office or purge elector lists of those who are unlikely to vote for him.
1:03 pm
lbuxx
if you'd read the news you'd know that isnt happening... but okay
1:04 pm
cybernan
no it isn't, ibuxx - but not because he didn't make the attempt
1:04 pm
HarryHood
cnn is awful these days - even npr - unabashedly biased coverage. It's like fox news in a mirror and on steroids
1:05 pm
swmbo
did I not see pictures of truck loading mailboxes on them after removal;? Was I hallucinating?
1:05 pm
MollyL
There is no real news anymore. Just news reporting based on whatever candidate has that agency in their pocket.
1:05 pm
cybernan
face it -- he lies, he cheats, he is disloyal even though he demands absolute loyalty and he will make any underhanded deal necessary to get what he wants.
1:05 pm
HarryHood
and as much as I abhor trump, I will never vote for a party which includes ilhan omar or rashida tlaib.
1:05 pm
KnightTime
You mean the mailboxes removed during Obama's presidency? That picture?
1:06 pm
swmbo
OH I have just decided I am staying out of this conversation. No point
1:06 pm
HarryHood
you are wise, swmbo
1:06 pm
lbuxx
not true again.. but okay. The post office has been in trouble for quite a while. Why don't you google it?
1:06 pm
cybernan
nope -- there are none so blind as those who wil l not see
1:06 pm
MollyL
Oh I agree with that, Nan
1:07 pm
lbuxx
cyber - THAT I can agree on!
1:07 pm
HarryHood
nan, the PO was an inefficient money losing operation which needed fixing and massive paring. It should not have been done right now, so that's off the table. Unfortunately.
1:07 pm
cybernan
it probably is -- social media is hitting out post office too, but that doesn't mean it's ok to shut it down right before an election in the middle of a pandemic when mail in voting may be the only option.
1:07 pm
lbuxx
common ground!
1:09 pm
lbuxx
he is NOT trying to shut down the postal service...lol
1:09 pm
MollyL
I think if there is a concern about mail in voting than another option should be made available. Some kind of drive up, drop off ballot sites or something.
1:10 pm
cybernan
on my way -- hopefully in a few short weeks your nation will have a leadership that will begin a healing process and good government instead of the hatred and chaos you have now.
1:10 pm
cybernan
hagd, stay safe and keep your mask on :)
1:10 pm
lbuxx
or can you give me some links? I'm seeing where he didn't want to release additional 3.5 billion in funding at this time.. that doesn't equal shutting down the USPS.
1:10 pm
MollyL
Well Nan, we all hope that one day we can become as perfect as Canada.
1:11 pm
HarryHood
hatred is all I hear coming from the left wing's mouths these days. I wish there were a centrist party here.
1:11 pm
cybernan
we're not perfect and I've never said so --- just think we are better off right now
1:11 pm

you should be so lucky Molly

I registered as no party here, since we can then vote in any primary
1:14 pm

how miserable will that be if ppl have to go to shelters and wear masks.
1:21 pm
MollyL
Wearing a mask anywhere is miserable. I'm so sick of it.
1:21 pm
HarryHood
but at least in private you can take it off. If you're stuck in a shelter, it's 24x7
1:22 pm
MollyL
Which will probably keep people from seeking shelter. Not good.

I am tired of people whining about wearing masks. It is a proven technique for suppressing transmission of not just Covid19, but other viruses as well. Everyone needs to put on their big girl panties and deal with it without all the drama.
1:30 pm
HarryHood
thank you for the lecture. nobody is whining - just making some observations.
1:31 pm
gingin
And that is an observation of mine.
1:32 pm

OK then - my mistake. I thought you were criticizing.

alycia any clues for the na 5 12? not seeing it.
1:35 pm
gingin
I went to the grocery store last week and could not enter because some crazy woman was making an ass of herself at the entrance by screaming at the poor doorkeeper because she felt the mask would infringe on her civil liberties. What a moron! I told her in a very firm voice exactly what kind of fool she was making of herself and suggested she order online if she was too afraid to wear a mask in public. I rec'd a round of applause from the folk behind me. All masked properly, by the way. Things have gooten out of hand with the lack of education in this country.
