Gotta go stock up on snow day stuff. We're getting slammed tomorrow.

7:47 am

sukee

We were supposed to get slammed on Thursday but it never happened. There was snow but not as much as they predicted. It is cold however.

7:50 am

BzznBea

We had four inches on Thursday. That's a lot for us. It is still on the ground.

7:51 am

sukee

7:59 am

sukee

I owe my friend big time, she drove the cat to the vet for me, waiting, even transferred him to the emergency hospital his first night and returned him to the vet. Brough him home too. Since I don't drive and have mobility problems she offered to do it all. I owe her big.

10:30 pm

rururocks

al and most of kim kardashian's husbands name

10:30 pm

grannyrose

in case you come back before the flip, origami. al6/36. same first three letters as al6, and al4 before it. add sometimes vowel, then not south/west

10:31 pm

rururocks

mixed up a little bit though

10:31 pm

grannyrose

like you, ruru?? xx how are you mate?

10:32 pm

grannyrose

maybe shaken but not stirred.

10:32 pm

rururocks

hi GR.. I'm fine thanks

10:32 pm

rururocks

living the dream out here :D

10:33 pm

rururocks

how have you been GR.. out of pain now?

10:33 pm

grannyrose

hesitates to ask..... and what would that particular dream be?

10:33 pm

rururocks

I'm kind of working part time nowadays.. it's been good for my soul

10:34 pm

grannyrose

lower back pain and right knee pain (all nerve pain) are mostly disappeared. just some mechanical pain left. know any good grease monkeys?

10:35 pm

rururocks

that sounds like a nice improvement though..I'm not sure I'd trust Don around grease if i were you :D

10:35 pm

grannyrose

lovely ruru. for you to have some slow down time. from memory your work took you all over your fair land.

10:36 pm

rururocks

yep.. i've done lots of flying in my lifetime

10:37 pm

grannyrose

i am guessing the dogs are liking you being home too.

10:38 pm

rururocks

yeah.. but down to one dog now.. i lost chelsea a year back

10:38 pm

rururocks

this will be my last dog.. I think

10:38 pm

grannyrose

oh no ruru. how sad. i am so sorry. i didn't know

10:39 pm

rururocks

no.. it's ok.. i kept it quiet except for a few dog friends

10:39 pm

rururocks

I got her to 13 when she wasn't going to live another two months when i got her she was so sick

10:40 pm

rururocks

al and Mr. West ori.. missing a vowel and mixed up slightly

10:40 pm

grannyrose

my neighbours terrier is just about done with this life. he's such a dear little fellow. you can read his eyes if you know what i mean. his owner is in her 80's too.

10:41 pm

rururocks

yes.. they do tell you if you're paying attention

10:41 pm

grannyrose

well Don and I haven't done traveling yet. we have said no to anymore pets until we are stuck here.

10:42 pm

rururocks

i'm not sure when I'm ever going to be able to travel again

10:43 pm

rururocks

my earlier clue is better ori

10:43 pm

grannyrose

it's hard for everyone over there, ruru. i am devastated by the sheer ignorance some folks are displaying.

10:44 pm

grannyrose

and we had some disgusting news here this week.

10:44 pm

rururocks

it's totally stupid here.. although california is dropping of late... what's the disgusting news?

10:45 pm

grannyrose

apparently we have a group of white supremacists in our country. the burning cross kind. i can't tell you how deeply disgusted i am with their behaviour.

10:45 pm

rururocks

oh god.. we've got a zillion of those nutjobs here

10:46 pm

rururocks

can we send you the qanon shaman guy? he'd fit in in Australia :D

10:47 pm

rururocks

who are your white supremacists after the aboriginals?

10:47 pm

rururocks

that was supposed to be .... THE aboriginal people?

10:48 pm

grannyrose

just drop him in the middle of the Simpson Desert. and good luck to him. and yes, our indigenous folk are now being targeted.

10:48 pm

rururocks

that'd have been my guess.. screw those racists

10:50 pm

rururocks

the nazi types here are very scary, and really quite nuts

10:50 pm

grannyrose

our poor old diggers would be spinning in their graves.

10:51 pm

rururocks

they protect Trump like the Hell's Angels Protected the Stones at Altamont

10:53 pm

origami

Wow, that al 6/36 took me a bit. Thanks, folks.

10:54 pm

grannyrose

i cannot understand racism at all. i am one of those people. you know the ones. they take an indigenous person, or a member of any minority group by the hand and i will stand firm with them.

10:54 pm

rururocks

great ori.. glad it worked.. it's a weirdo word

10:54 pm

grannyrose

yay ori. knew you would get it. well done.

10:54 pm

hurshy

i was just reading some interesting articles from people who design live-action alternate reality games, about how psychologically, Q Anon works like these games. except instead of a specific puzzle that has a specific solution that the designer of the game has created, it's more amorphous and never-ending as people keep following imaginary clues that they think they are seeing and sharing them with each other

10:55 pm

rururocks

i read those too hursh

10:55 pm

grannyrose

ewww, sounds awfully twisted to me.

10:56 pm

rururocks

we have two congress Q Anon people granny? How crazy is that?

10:56 pm
