8:28 am
rururocks

8:29 am
BzznBea

8:41 am
MollyL
Rewrites the Police song...it's murder by letters, ABC it's as easy as counting 123...
8:41 am
MollyL
I wonder if we should start looking for pictures on milk cartons
8:44 am
rururocks
there would be babblets left as clues at the crime scene
8:44 am
hokie carla
man, I hate m's
8:46 am
rururocks
detective to cop .. "what the hell does Tenrec mean written in blood on the wall?"
8:46 am

8:46 am
hokie carla
with that kind of clue

8:50 am
rururocks
I started to blurt it out but was cut off
8:50 am
hokie carla
maybe
8:50 am
MollyL
And no one knew that the killer was knocking off the top points players so they could get to the top of the list. BEWARE
8:51 am
hokie carla
I'm safe in that case, whew
8:52 am
rururocks
scary for peri and marigold then
8:52 am
rururocks

8:55 am
hokie carla

8:55 am
rururocks
insinuating that my mind is dirty?
8:55 am
saanichcat
on 7/28? sounds like a grouch
8:55 am
MollyL
No I would never insinuate that. Just state it as a fact.
8:56 am
hokie carla
HOET!

8:57 am
mael
I'm just here to say that I like sandwiches
8:58 am
MollyL
And that is how we get from dirty minds to sandwiches
8:58 am
rururocks
that's what I had for dinner.. grilled cheese with caramelized onions and soup
8:58 am
BzznBea
The other from that O is or5.10
8:59 am
mael
but it's not oreos, which are the sandwich of cookies
8:59 am

9:05 am
rururocks
I made tomato soup.. fresh from the garden
9:05 am
HarryHood
mael did you buy your brother's birthright?
9:05 am
rururocks
bye harry
9:06 am
rururocks
buy what?
9:06 am
HarryHood
I always try to leave with a vague biblical reference.
9:06 am
HarryHood
jacob bought esau's birthright for a bowl of lentil soup.
9:07 am
rururocks
oh.. ok.. you had lost me
9:07 am
HarryHood
yeah it's hard to follow my meandering brain these days.
9:09 am
hokie carla
lol, I was trying to see where a package was and came back to this
9:12 am
mael
hah, you had lost me too. It's been A LONG time since sunday school and I've since recovered :)
9:12 am
rururocks
I got kicked out of sunday school
9:12 am
mael
good for you ru, I wish
9:13 am
rururocks
I cut up too much in the class.. I thought it was really stupid even at that age
9:14 am
hokie carla
well, I gotta get busy. think I will take winston on a hike. TTFN.
9:15 am
hokie carla
69 left for later
9:15 am
mael
my mother managed to force me to go until I was confirmed, which was a whole waste of time given that I was already an atheist by then
9:15 am
mael
have a great hike hokie
9:15 am
rururocks
i think i was an atheist from an early age too
9:17 am
rururocks
i failed to believe the Adam's rib thing
9:18 am
rururocks
the funny thing is my parents never went to church and yet they sent me to Sunday school like it would be a better influence on me. I never understood that
9:20 am
mael
when I told my father, who was an atheist, that nothing about it made any sense to me he just explained to me that the whole thing made sense if you read the bible as an allegory, like zeus and thunderbolts. Which, yeah.
9:20 am
mael
I must have been 7 or so. I just didn't grok why all the myths were MYTHS and yet I was expected to believe... a whole other set of myths as truth
9:21 am
rururocks
I think I was younger than that
9:22 am
Shirlockc
i always thought of the adam's rib thing like cloning
9:25 am
movieman
Some people now think that Eve wasn't made from one of Adam's ribs, but rather his penis bone, because other mammals have one but not humans....
9:25 am
rururocks
i heard Adam kept ribbing Eve all the time
9:26 am
rururocks
it wasn't the Serpent that Eve was worried about
9:30 am
mael
it was the trouser snake?
9:30 am
hurshy
no, they didn't have trousers yet!
9:30 am
rururocks
a friendly one mael
9:31 am
rururocks
<-- glad he doesn't have to go through life wearing fig leaves
9:32 am
mael
I'd rather go naked but the weather in MA is not conducive to it and neither are the bugs
9:33 am
rururocks
it must have always been summer for them.. fig leaves aren't around here in the winter
9:33 am
hurshy
i was complaining about mosquitoes to someone who lives elsewhere in the world and they were like, "but, yours don't have malaria or anything, right?" like they couldn't comprehend what the problem would be if they don't have diseases
9:34 am
rururocks
Mosquitos don't bother me .. must be my blood type
9:34 am
rururocks
or my abv levels
9:35 am
mael
hah, pickled Ru
9:35 am
mael
and we do have diseases here in MA too! West Nile and EEE
9:35 am
rururocks
a lot of hung over mosquitos here in Napa
9:36 am
movieman
The last mosquito that bit me had to check into the Betty Ford clinic - Patsy Stone
9:38 am
mael
phantom: menhir
9:39 am
mael
these damn Ms are a pain
9:39 am
rururocks
no kidding
9:39 am
rururocks
they were tough
9:40 am
rururocks
one really twisty one
9:40 am
rururocks
what's eee thought mael?
9:40 am
mael
Eastern Equine Encephalitis
9:41 am
mael
it's deadly though luckily we only have outbreaks every 8 or 9 years or so
9:41 am
rururocks
you are a horse person?
9:41 am
mael
horses are just a vector
9:42 am
mael
I mean, it kills horses too but it's people that are the problem. It's a virus birds carry, which then get bitten by mosquitoes and passed on to horses and people
9:43 am
mael
last big outbreak was 2019 and it was terrifying, they canceled all school events in the afternoon, kids weren't allowed outside, we had community curfews at dusk
9:48 am
rururocks
which state do you live in Mael?
9:48 am
rururocks
oh wow.. really up there?
9:48 am
mael
Happens in CT too, and a few cases in the midwest
9:50 am
mael
yeah, it's still rare, don't get me wrong, but a little girl my daughter's age from the next town over was left permanently disabled the week she started Kindergarten. It was a sad fall, with everyone hoping for a hard frost sooner rather than later. All parents waiting for the 10 days between a mosquito bite and the potential emergence of symptoms...
9:50 am
mael
I think 12 people died that year
9:51 am
rururocks
I think we have West Nile out here.. but it's not a rampant problem (yet)
9:52 am
mael
damn skeeters
9:52 am
mael
I'd be very happy if we could figure out a way to make them extinct without messing up the food wed
9:52 am
mael
ticks too while we're at it
9:53 am
rururocks
ticks are scary.. we have a bad lyme problem out here.
9:53 am
mael
they're working on a lyme vaccine, thankfully, but that's not the only tick borne thing that we need to worry about
9:54 am
mael
they're enrolling for human vaccine trials for Lyme, I'm hoping I can get in
9:55 am
rururocks
off to work now.. have a great day
9:56 am
mael
bye ru, have a great day
