9:16 am

HarryHood

ntpn russia's invaded territory

9:17 am

MollyL

Strange perspective. There are lots of times I am not here

9:18 am

hokie carla

IDK, harry. not seeing anything.

9:20 am

hokie carla

oh, that's another thing that makes me wonder if molly is a bot, she usually comes up with the NTPN right away (where is she right now?)

9:21 am

HarryHood

it's very twisty

9:21 am

rururocks

molly is pretty good with the jeopardy stuff

9:21 am

BzznBea

9:21 am

HarryHood

9:22 am

rururocks

9:22 am

hokie carla

ah, I hadn't even seen there was a C. helps to get those if I'm working on the letter at the time.

9:22 am

HarryHood

crimea was invaded several years ago

9:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, thought they already did it

9:22 am

MollyL

So does Bea, is she a bot too?

9:22 am

HarryHood

we kind of looked and said tsk tsk

9:22 am

BzznBea

Most times I'm just ding dong

9:23 am

hokie carla

no, bea's not a bot, she's a master gardener!

9:23 am

BzznBea

I'm not here all the time though.

9:23 am

hokie carla

good point

9:23 am

HarryHood

we have a package of mi4 soup mix in the closet whose expiration date is in 2003.

9:24 am

hokie carla

9:24 am

BzznBea

It's probably still good.

9:24 am

HarryHood

but we might need it

9:24 am

HarryHood

I'm sure it's fine :)

9:24 am

origami

I love miso.

9:24 am

rururocks

2003 is pushing it

9:24 am

origami

Oh, boy. Sorry about that.

9:24 am

HarryHood

it has moved with us several times - it's kind of part of the family

9:24 am

rururocks

that's too old for even Leonardo Di Caprio

9:24 am

hokie carla

that is 20 years

9:25 am

rururocks

you should frame it at this point harry

9:25 am

hokie carla

even though it doesn't sound like it

9:25 am

HarryHood

I could sell it on ebay

9:25 am

origami

Maybe bronze it like baby shoes.

9:25 am

rururocks

vintage retro soup

9:26 am

hokie carla

the barbie stuff that is called vintage on ebay makes me laugh.

9:27 am

rururocks

my brother had bronzed baby shoes but not me

9:27 am

HarryHood

we never had the baby shoes, but my mother put locks of our hair in the photo album

9:27 am

hokie carla

I think maybe my oldest brother had bronze baby shoes

9:27 am

rururocks

that's barbaric harry

9:28 am

rururocks

:D

9:28 am

HarryHood

better than keeping our tonsils in there

9:28 am

hokie carla

now the bottom A is being awful. what is up with the A's today?

9:29 am

HarryHood

I worked for am5 electronics in the 80s. I was a shipping clerk. but on my resume I wrote "assistant to the president"

9:29 am

rururocks

the a's aren't too bad hokie

9:29 am

hokie carla

haha, harry

9:30 am

hokie carla

just made up an am5, thx. never heard of that electronics place. must have been local.

9:30 am

HarryHood

3 employees

9:30 am

BzznBea

plural the 5 carla

9:30 am

HarryHood

he would buy old circuit boards, we'd strip off the components, repack and resell them.

9:30 am

hokie carla

never seen that word here either. and I did get the plural too!

9:30 am

rururocks

that sounds a bit like George Santos harry

9:31 am

hokie carla

oh, just saw bea's reminder. she knows me so well.

9:31 am

rururocks

without all the drag though

9:31 am

HarryHood

hah!

9:31 am

HarryHood

I love george santos' comment about his lies - "I said I was Jew-ISH"

9:32 am

hokie carla

LOL

9:32 am

BzznBea

LMAO!

9:32 am

rururocks

he is one POS isn't he?

9:32 am

HarryHood

It's just too funny

9:32 am

welki

the queen of denial

9:32 am

HarryHood

it's worth two years of a POS rep for this comedy.

9:32 am

rururocks

(using an acronym for hoke's approval)

9:33 am

hokie carla

9:42 am

welki

9:42 am

BzznBea

I remember emeraude

9:42 am

welki

there was one that was like lilies of the valley, muguet du bois

9:42 am

hokie carla

that's what it feels like when you run into someone wearing too much

9:43 am

rururocks

most men liked to be ambushed

9:43 am

welki

i traded emeraude for shalimar in 1974 (or thereabouts)

9:44 am

rururocks

shalimar sounds like George Santo's Drag name in Brazil

9:44 am
