12:31 pm

hokie carla

12:31 pm

BzznBea

I clued earlier as fake

12:31 pm

hokie carla

yes, bea...about 5400 miles

12:31 pm

BzznBea

Wow! I'm sure you had a great time.

12:31 pm

cybernan

dosn't bring anything to mind -- just don't know many ps words and none of those are here

12:32 pm

hokie carla

the 6 is often added in front of other things, like ps6-science

12:33 pm

cybernan

oh - ty -- was looking for a word, not a prefix

12:33 pm

hokie carla

We did have a pretty good time. forgot it was summer with the weather. saw a lot of beautiful sights. this country is so large.

1:55 pm

2:58 pm

MollyL

Stretch it out

2:59 pm

periwinkle

I am trying

2:59 pm

periwinkle

got it

3:00 pm

MollyL

It was clued earlier as ps6 science

3:32 pm

hurshy

molly, because whether or not it's appropriate for Bea to say 'Namaste' or not, i cannot determine, as that probably depends upon her understanding and respect for the culture involved (and personally i give her the benefit of the doubt). but your response is definitely disrespectful to the language and culture in which it is a sacred word, and possibly also disrespectful to Bea, depending how she takes it.

3:46 pm

MollyL

That is entirely your interpretation of the situation.

3:58 pm

hurshy

it is based on what i have learned from people who are actually in that culture.

3:59 pm

MollyL

I have every respect for people who are actually in that culture who use that word.

4:03 pm

KenTropic

I haven't said anything on this chat in probably 10 years but I have to today. With all the turmoil happening around the world it seems appropriate. I learned this practicing yoga and it is the nicest thing you can say to someone so...Namaste Molly.

4:03 pm

hurshy

but you reserve the right to mock anyone else who uses it?

4:03 pm

KenTropic

bon

4:04 pm

hurshy

ken, my request was that Molly stop mocking it when Bea says Namaste. she has been replying to Namaste with other words which happen to end with the letters "aste"

4:05 pm

KenTropic

That's not what it looks like.

4:05 pm

hurshy

what's not what what looks like?

4:07 pm

hurshy

to clarify, i said i cannot determine the appropriateness of Bea's use of "Namaste" only because a) i'm not in that culture myself and b) to forestall Molly's defense of herself on the grounds that Bea is not from that culture. as it happens, though, i do think it's fine for Bea to say. all i was asking for is Molly to stop mocking it.

4:15 pm

MollyL

And, as usual, I am not the only one who has responded in this way to the use of Namaste by a non-Hindu person, but I am the only one taken to task. Since it seems to be so crushing to Hurshy, I will refrain from commenting from now on. And I will use the words of my own culture to say "I bow to you".

4:16 pm

MollyL

By the way, yoga instructors have stopped using this word since it is appropriating a culture that is not their own.

4:19 pm

hurshy

i haven't happened to see anyone else doing it, so, that's why i said it to you.

4:20 pm

hurshy

if others do it, then i extend the request to them also

4:20 pm

ChampFit

Need a clue for the bu6/7 please.

4:20 pm

hurshy

he bu6 himself with many tasks, so he's the bu7 guy i know

4:21 pm

ChampFit

Thanks hursh.

4:22 pm

ChampFit

FW! Happy 4th of July Eve! Hope we have another biggie tomorrow. But not TOO big...must have time for festivities. ;)

4:24 pm

MollyL

Enjoy your festivities Champ

thanks hurshy

5:31 pm

crosshair

I just took it as a friendly greeting and treated it as such. I am sure that those who obseve that culture would have no problems with other cultures using that word as a friendly greeting, even though the culture is not their own.

5:41 pm

crosshair

Ty for the bu7, Hurshy. :)

Hello Crosshair

6:39 pm

Dog Fan

I also never say anything in the chat, but I appreciate BuzznBea's namaste as I believe she intends it, a pleasant way to leave well wishes to those in the chat. Replying with "Distaste" to that sign off seems unnecessary. Perhaps it was intended as a flippant remark that fell flat?

6:49 pm

Christa

I appreciate BuzznBea's namaste as well. I look forward to the chat every night while playing babble.

7:06 pm

dan2bit

being offended by expressions of peace is an odd take

7:27 pm

rururocks

lots of people get offended around here all the time, mostly about silly things. I think she was trying to make a joke and it fell flat.

dcseain - Still trying to recover from injury sustained on 5th March 2024 - broken fibula, dislocated ankle also broken in 3 places. Op for that included 2 plates and 22 screws plus one too large screw across the leg to stop my foot falling off. 21 hour wait for an ambulance to come, lying on a hard floor unable to move. Waiting for 2nd op on leg now to remove very painful, too long cross screw and steroid injection into ankle bone. Op has been cancelled twice now. Got new date for next (30th Sept.) but no guarantee that it won't be cancelled even though I am in pain. Bet you wish you hadn't asked now. lol
