ty!

3:14 am

Dachef

If he really is the big 'boss', then I'd like to have a look at the contract, as I'm fairly sure some new condition clauses have been inserted recently.

5:26 am

MollyL

I'm thinking that has the makings of a good story. An atheist lawyer questions God's contract.

5:59 am

Deeha

8:07 am

hokie carla

oh, just found an 8/9. word I learned years ago from MTV :D

8:07 am

welki

so, hokie, you remember how you'd get random ads on your FB page?

8:08 am

hokie carla

yes...but not so random

8:08 am

welki

i was about as excited about this ad as anyone could be when i saw it - it was for a gluten free flour, one you could use as a 1 for 1 replacement

8:08 am

hokie carla

:D what brand?

8:09 am

BzznBea

They aren't so random because fb has bots.

8:09 am

welki

yeah, not so random - so i saved the link for you, opened it today and whaddya know. after all the links i open for products available for sale in the usa, this one is canadian made - and i don't know if you can buy it in nc

8:09 am

welki

queens bakery

8:10 am

welki

they also make bread products

8:10 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't know that one. there are a couple of good 1 for 1 flours I can get here. and a lot of recipes tell you which one works best in it.

8:10 am

welki

it's actually queenstreetbakery . com

8:10 am

BzznBea

Don't you buy a lot of things from gf from Canada, Carla?

8:11 am

hokie carla

yeah, I order from Kinnikinnick in Canada every once in a while. have not heard of queen street but will look into it.

8:12 am

welki

at any rate, even if it's not a place you'd order from, someone was thinking of you :)

8:13 am

hokie carla

those ads are creepy. once I was talking, not texting or posting, but actually talking to my friend about my mom's bad shoulder and within 30 min had a FB ad for a shoulder sleeping product.

8:14 am

BzznBea

Had you searched the internet for something like that?

8:14 am

hokie carla

no, never had

8:14 am

hokie carla

that's why it was so creepy

8:19 am

hokie carla

hmm, there's a 4 I was sure I entered last night

8:26 am

hokie carla

well I am stuck with 15 left. 6 of those are 4's!

8:27 am

dan2bit

still stuck on that go7/8 pair and the sp7

8:28 am

hokie carla

yeah, didn't know about the sp7 but I still need all 3 of those

8:28 am

BzznBea

go7/8 idol + what sits on your shoulders

8:28 am

hokie carla

thx, bea!

8:29 am

dan2bit

8:29 am

BzznBea

8:30 am

dan2bit

fifth letter, but also thanks!

8:30 am

hokie carla

thx again bea. I was so close on that one. tried it as a 6

8:30 am

hokie carla

no, it's the 4th letter

8:31 am

dan2bit

the fourth letter of the sp7 is not spelled out at the end of the sp7

8:32 am

dan2bit

don't make me pull a DJT and demand a recount :-)

8:32 am

hokie carla

the 4th letter of the alphabet is at the end of the sp7

8:32 am

dan2bit

oh haha I thought the fourth letter OF THE WORD

8:32 am

dan2bit

i might need to go back to bed

8:32 am

hokie carla

:D I was like, is dan crazy? maybe it's me.

8:43 am

hokie carla

8:49 am

BzznBea

8:49 am

BzznBea

Do you have any vowels left?

8:50 am

hokie carla

2 O's.

8:50 am

BzznBea

That's it. A 5 and plural

8:50 am

hokie carla

ok, thanks

8:53 am

MollyL

I do love a pre-lit Christmas tree. No rigging up the lights.
: D

8:54 am

hokie carla

finally put your tree up?

8:54 am

BzznBea

Me too! But Mr. Bea has to have a real tree every year. He does the lights.

8:55 am

MollyL

She says on December 12th. Yes, I am in the process. I don't believe in an entire month of Christmas decorations.

8:55 am

hokie carla

we had a pre-lit tree for a while but it is annoying when one strand goes out and you can't fix it.

8:56 am

MollyL

I would love to have a real tree every year. If someone would cut it down, haul it in the house, put it in the stand, put the lights on it and vacuum up the needles.

8:57 am

MollyL

This tree is new, but if strands start going out I will just slam another string on it.

8:57 am

BzznBea

I made that deal with Mr. Bea when we married. Real tree, you help maintain.

8:58 am

hokie carla

mr. homie does water ours everyday

8:58 am

BzznBea

Mine has had lights on it for three days. While I am simmering apple butter, I will decorate it.

8:59 am

hokie carla

8 left now. half from the upper D.

9:01 am

dan2bit

our garden center has a great selection, and they trim it, put it in a net, put the stand on, and strap it to the car. I do have to haul it in and out, and we do hire miss2bit as a needle sweeper

9:02 am

hokie carla

I don't mind sweeping the needles

9:03 am

dan2bit

mrs2bit likes to wrangle the lights, and we have sentimental ornaments from (nearly) all our travels together, which makes decorating nostalgic and fun

9:05 am

MollyL

All of our ornaments are sentimental. Some given by friends, some from my famiy's original 60's Christmas trees, some made by my kids.

9:05 am

hokie carla

yeah, I put 10 strands of lights on and garland and then do all the decorating. wouldn't mind some help hanging the ornaments. and on the main tree there is no theme, they are all homemade or gifts, etc.

9:05 am

MollyL

Speaking of 60's Christmas trees, who remembers the bubble lights?

9:06 am

hokie carla

but my hokie tree is a prelit fake tree, all hokie ornaments. and I have a 3' prelit fake tree that I put on the camper if we're camping over Xmas, and it has all our travel ornaments.

9:07 am

MollyL

I miss popcorn and cranberry garlands on the tree, but I don't have the patience to string them anymore.

9:08 am

BzznBea

I gave my girls all of their special ornaments when they started having a family. Mine is decorated with Santa ornaments I hawe collected over the years.

9:09 am

BzznBea

We did a lot of red, white and green paper chains.

9:12 am

BzznBea

My grandma had an aluminum tree with the spinning disc light. I spent hours on the floor under that tree watching the colors change.

9:14 am

hokie carla

I have all my ornaments from when I was a kid

9:14 am

BzznBea

So, Larry and I are in isolation because he was helping the family across the street. One of their teens tested positive. They are all out and about running around mask free like nothing has happeend.

9:15 am

hokie carla

I have seen replica bubble lights but don't remember my parents ever having them.

9:15 am

BzznBea

That is why we are in the situation we are in.

9:15 am

BzznBea

We being our country and the world.

9:19 am

MollyL

Thank God for scent-cicles. They really add the fresh smell to a fake tree.

9:19 am

MollyL

Oh damn Bea, sorry to hear that.

9:20 am

dan2bit

praying for you and Larry Bea. so frustrating that people can't take in what they don't want to believe

9:21 am

hokie carla

sorry, bea

9:22 am

BzznBea

Thanks. I don't think this is due to not believeing, but more lack of knowledge. I think that is why the low income areas are being hit so hard.

9:23 am

BzznBea

I'm sure Larry and I will be fine. It is my mom we are most concerned about. We have been very diligent in making sure she is safe.

9:23 am

hokie carla

may I have the 2nd letter for the o5/6?

9:23 am

BzznBea

9:25 am

9:52 am

rururocks

9:52 am

MollyL

Ah White Christmas. With Vera Ellen...she of the 16 inch waist, rocket boobs and the best ankle strap heels ever.

9:53 am

hokie carla

9:53 am

rururocks

*takes Molly's temperature*

9:57 am

MollyL

My temperature? I'm not the one singing rocket boobs.

9:59 am

rururocks

10:01 am

MollyL

Any woman wearing a 40's/50's cone bra has rocket boobs

10:04 am

rururocks
