10:56 am

periwinkle

10:57 am

hurshy

just because two things are co10, that doesn't imply that one of them causes the other

10:57 am

periwinkle

hmm

11:00 am

periwinkle

no idea

11:00 am

hurshy

it's like a statistical thing

11:01 am

hurshy

these two variables are co10

11:01 am

hurshy

or they aren't

11:01 am

hurshy

like, um, poverty is co10 with poor grades in school

1:34 pm

MollyL

Badder and rhymes with a cinching slutty garment

1:34 pm

hokie carla

thanks molly, I thought badder was surely improper

1:35 pm

MollyL

It looks like it would get a big red X on an English paper

1:35 pm

hokie carla

oh, found one of the bottom R's

1:35 pm

hokie carla

agreed

1:35 pm

BzznBea

1:50 pm

hokie carla

1:50 pm

BzznBea

We had a big storm last night.

1:51 pm

hokie carla

the youngest is back in raleigh right now. but of course he doesn't share any kind of info.

1:51 pm

hokie carla

did you end up losing power?

1:52 pm

BzznBea

No, we kept our power.

1:52 pm

hokie carla

that's good

1:53 pm

BzznBea

I'm worried about a couple trees near ouyr house, It just a matter of time and the right storm that will take them out.

1:53 pm

BzznBea

Hope to get the arborist out soon.

1:54 pm

hokie carla

one night last week we heard a chainsaw late at night and there was a big tree in the road near our house. the next day I walked winston down the road and there were two more down in the road.

1:55 pm

hokie carla

the big one near us was twisted off about five feet up from the ground, so it wasn't like they fell over

1:55 pm

BzznBea

That's scary.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

what's even crazier is we were home and didn't notice big wind or anything

1:57 pm

hokie carla

so must've been like a little burst or something

1:58 pm

ChampFit

My son had a perfectly healthy tree in his front yard fall on his neighbor's home during the derecho that his Houston a few months ago. They STILL haven't had the repairs done. Tarps on the rool. I'm sure they're arguing with insurance over it.

1:58 pm

hokie carla

ha! found se6/18 on my own this time. suck it, babble!

1:58 pm

ChampFit

Wow...typos! sorry

1:58 pm

hokie carla

that stinks, champ

1:59 pm

ChampFit

My son's house is fine, and it wasn't his fault. I feel for the neighbors though. We've had a hurricane since then, and still several months in the season. They need a roof!

1:59 pm

MollyL

Champ is into the Sunday afternoon wine ðŸ˜Š

1:59 pm

BzznBea

Whats with people shooting at the linemen that came to help? That is crazy.

2:00 pm

ChampFit

It was a Margarita, thankyouverymuch!!! No clue Bea. Morons is all I can assume.

2:00 pm

hokie carla

am I missing a post? I only saw one typo in champ's and nothing about shooting at linemen.

2:01 pm

BzznBea

I saw that on the news

2:01 pm

hokie carla

oh

2:01 pm

ChampFit

Separate thing. There were people who pulled guns on linemen after Beryl. I have no idea why, unless they were trying to get them to come service them first or something.

2:02 pm

ChampFit

People get crazy when it's super hot and there's no electricity. And also they're stupid. Linemen are heros!

2:04 pm

BzznBea

My last two were so6/7

2:04 pm

hokie carla

I have 2 sets of those

2:05 pm

BzznBea

namaste

2:22 pm

hokie carla
