hokie carla

9:57 am

rururocks

unable to work with something

9:57 am

hokie carla

that's a 6 though.

9:57 am

hokie carla

but didn't have it

9:58 am

rururocks

you need io6/7 io and zero and plural

9:58 am

rururocks

you need the LBGQ facial feature no7

9:58 am

hokie carla

yes, was wondering if there was another io but couldn't get one.

9:59 am

hokie carla

LOL, took me a minute with that clue

9:59 am

rururocks

you need on6 on + be in a hurry

10:00 am

hokie carla

right again, thanks

10:00 am

rururocks

how many letters on the f?

10:00 am

Shirlockc

ha! on the no7 clue, i was confused as i was thinking of flowers

10:00 am

hokie carla

finally found the i's. now a 4 and 5 left for the F and S. surely I can figure that out.

10:01 am

hokie carla

well, it is really flowers, so

10:01 am

rururocks

you need so5 mostly injured and no wee

10:01 am

rururocks

not we but ...

10:01 am

rururocks

you need Fe4 like Pot au f**

10:02 am

rururocks

plural

10:02 am

hokie carla

you're good. now just F4. and it's not fies, no matter how many times I try that.

10:02 am

rururocks

prettty good? is that all you can say?

10:02 am

hokie carla

I have an F4 that looks like might be what you're talking about so it must be another.

10:02 am

hokie carla

2 FE?

10:02 am

rururocks

that's nearly psychic

10:03 am

rururocks

two fe fours

10:05 am

hokie carla

well this is a real mystery. have tried everything. and I do have fo4/11.

10:07 am

hokie carla

finally got it. really thought I tried that earlier.

10:08 am

hokie carla

nautical. hmm.

10:10 am

rururocks

my work is done now

10:11 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

hokie carla

10:12 am

rururocks

put the shtetl to the metal I always say

10:12 am

hokie carla

I think you were 6 for 7 today in your guesses

10:13 am

rururocks

which did I miss?

10:13 am

hokie carla

the F

10:15 am

hokie carla

btw, good pun but "village" doesn't lend a lot of punning opportunities for me to continue it.

10:16 am

hokie carla

well, gotta get to work here

10:21 am

Soodle

HEY YOU GUYS!!! (Hat-tip to the go 7/36) 😊

10:58 am

MollyL

Sean Astin was 14 in that movie. He is 53 now. Damn I feel old.

12:14 pm

hokie carla

and I was 12 and thought he was cute. I don't remember thinking Josh Brolin was cute, but it might've been because he was so mean to Mikey.

12:15 pm

hokie carla

waiting for ruru to say he doesn't know what we're talking about or at least that he's never seen it.

12:35 pm

MollyL

Chances are good he has never seen The Go7. His taste in movies runs a little dark.

12:36 pm

hidey hodey

12:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Robert F Kennedy Jr had a speaking part in Dr. Strangelove.

12:38 pm

moolingwa

That gentleman is a bit odd

12:44 pm

hokie carla

a bit odd? he's looney tunes

12:45 pm

moolingwa

I like the story about dumping a bear carcass in Central Park

12:45 pm

hokie carla

the scariest thing I've read about trump recently is that RFKJ said he promised him he'd be leader of the NIH or something. He was anti-vax before covid.

12:46 pm

moolingwa

Or about Judge Aileen Cannon as AG?

12:46 pm

hokie carla

didn't he grow up during polio or is he younger?

12:47 pm

moolingwa

General Michael Flynn for Secretary of Defense

12:47 pm

moolingwa

the problem with fringe candidates like Trump, is you get Fringe people as the only people who'll work for him...Stephen Miller's another one

12:50 pm

Shirlockc

i don't understand why he didn't get called out for saying that thing about liz cheney and the firing squad -- everyone seemed to have shrugged it off

12:53 pm

moolingwa

Trump is very good about choosing how he says something

12:54 pm

moolingwa

He's also out there trying to rile up the over side so that he can show how people overreact to things

12:54 pm

MollyL

No, he really isn't. He is sounding borderline dementia lately. And people are still right behind his sorry ass.

12:55 pm

Shirlockc

those who've never been gaslit, don't get it. cause it becomes "my" fault for not having a sense of humor or misunderstanding what they really meant -- i hated that so much

12:56 pm

Shirlockc

i didn't misunderstand or misheard

12:56 pm

moolingwa

he's a wholly distasteful human being, has been for as long as I've been aware of him

12:58 pm

MollyL

Trump isn't gaslighting anyone. He is saying truly insane things (about Cheney and Arnold Palmer) and people are still going to vote for him.

1:00 pm

moolingwa

I am a little bit anxious about what will happen in this election, but mostly sad

1:02 pm

hokie carla

well, if I've learned anything from reading social media comments it's that there are a lot of batshit insane people in this country that believe the stupidest, most ridiculous things.

1:05 pm

MollyL

That is true Carla.Which is why I stay away from social media. Now if I could just stay away from the batshit insane people I work with who are big Trump fans.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

the fact that people believe the govt made hurricane helene to destroy appalachia is just mind blowing

1:06 pm

hokie carla

and the fake health stuff is exhausting

1:06 pm

moolingwa

Space lasers that started the California Forest Fires are another good one

1:07 pm

MollyL

I don't have a problem with Republicans or the true ideas of the Republican party. That is NOT what Trump is about though.

1:08 pm

moolingwa

that last one was an MTG special though

1:11 pm

moolingwa

Can't wait to see Elon Musk in a government role

1:14 pm

moolingwa

I hear a lot of his supporters cite Trump as being a successful businessman. Their standards are obviously very low :)

1:16 pm

hokie carla

hasn't he done bankruptcy multiple times?

1:17 pm

moolingwa

six of his companies have declared Chapter 11

1:19 pm

moolingwa

He's also shut down a bunch for various reasons

1:19 pm

moolingwa

Which isn't necessarily that unusual

1:20 pm

moolingwa

Especially for someone who really is just a brand

1:21 pm

moolingwa

He's basically a snake oil salesman

1:24 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've been saying that forever

1:25 pm

hokie carla

and emperor's new clothes

1:27 pm

Shirlockc

o i didn't mean Trump is gaslighting with what he is saying, I truly think he absolutely means it, it's the other batshit supporters who are making excuses for him and gaslighting with the o you don't have a sense of humor o you're the one who misunderstands that's what i meant

1:28 pm

BzznBea

Anxiety running high here because of the election.

1:28 pm

Shirlockc

also didn't hear the space laser + forest fires, is why i stay away from social media

1:28 pm

BzznBea

namaste

1:29 pm

Shirlockc

or i'm only on social media for the cat videos

1:31 pm

moolingwa

Let's hear it for Lindsey Graham, future secretary of gaslighting :)

1:32 pm

moolingwa

I get lost in a sea of recipes on social media...occasionally I even try one :)

1:34 pm

ChampFit

Off topic: Just got an work email from someone that chose to address me as "Susy". NOTHING with my contact info says that. I get "Suzanne" occassionally too. But why do anything other than "Susan" which is on my business cards and email signature?

1:34 pm

moolingwa

I get called all sorts of things :)

1:35 pm

hokie carla

the same reason I get Clara all the time. at first I was like, I'm not 90 years old! but now there are a lot of people naming their daughters Clara.

1:35 pm

ChampFit

Ha! It's amazing how things get twisted.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

moo, my next door neighbor has your name. I think he's at least 80.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

champ, I knew a Suzy when I was growing up. her name was actually Linda Sue. but she would get so angry when people spelled it Susie.

1:40 pm

ChampFit

I really can't stand "Suzy", however you spell it. Gets on my last nerve!!! Feels demeaning. Suz, Sue....doesn't bug me nearly as much.

1:42 pm

ChampFit

You know she probably named her kid that...I'm sure it's perfectly natural. And I'm being cranky. ;)

1:46 pm

moolingwa

Looks like I'm making chili tonight

1:47 pm

ChampFit

Love chili!

1:52 pm

moolingwa

ChampFit

Same.

1:57 pm

Soodle

I don’t normally voice an opinion regarding other countries politics. This evening I am making an exception to my own self-imposed rule; and I am sincerely hoping that sanity will prevail in the US tomorrow.

1:58 pm

ChampFit

Aw man! I thought I distracted them. Dang it Soodle! but glad to "see" you.

1:58 pm

ChampFit

Done! Enjoy everyone.

1:58 pm

moolingwa

I was trying my best to change the subject :)

1:59 pm

moolingwa

congrats champ!

2:00 pm

Soodle

And to add insult to injury, Champ, I have a daughter called Suzie! 😂

2:00 pm

dcseain

thank you soodle

2:05 pm

MollyL

Really folks, if there was ever a time to talk about politics, this is it.

2:05 pm

dcseain

indeed so, Molly.

2:32 pm

MollyL

I am just not ready for all the sore loser crap that followed the last Trump defeat.

2:32 pm

dcseain

hear, hear!

2:33 pm

Shirlockc

he will claim fraud if he loses

2:33 pm

Shirlockc

he already laid the ground for it

2:33 pm

dcseain

here's hoping the Capitol has been hardened after last time.

3:06 pm

lbuxx

ahhhh politics.. love it! I thought this was my safe zone...lol

3:07 pm

lbuxx

it's gonna be sore loser time no matter who wins

3:20 pm

MollyL

I'm having a hard time remembering the last time the Democrats stormed the Capitol when their candidate lost.

3:34 pm

lbuxx

but do you remember all the "peaceful" protests? lol and also, it's not really storming when the police are opening the door and escorting you in. Just sayin...

3:36 pm

nrkii

my first name is Nancy and some people call me Nan or Nance without asking. Very few people can get away with this.

3:37 pm

nrkii

Any good Thanksgiving side dish recipes from anyone?

3:43 pm

lbuxx

we'll be traveling to see the grandkids so no Thanksgiving cooking for me! I usually just stick to the basics.

3:44 pm

nrkii

I made a very good ginger/rum cocktail for Halloween... may have to do that again for Thanksgiving

3:45 pm
