cybernan

have to say I sure hope Trump and Sanders are making a really wierd joke -- otherwise I can't imagine what makes them think Canada would ever want to join the States!

12:31 am

hurshy

i think it's well established that they live in a world of delusion

12:38 am

grannyrose

Deeha

I often wonder where squirrels live in America? In UK they live in a drey!!

12:55 am

hurshy

like... i think they just live in trees?

12:55 am

Deeha

but they have a comfy little hole in a tree. Thats a drey!!

1:01 am

dcseain

The ones here, at least on the east coast, build large nests in the tops of trees.

1:02 am

dcseain

there are ground squirrels, I forget if up north or in the west.

1:16 am

Deeha

come on, fellow Brits, squirrels nest in a drey, dont they??!!

1:16 am

sprite

Gillie

A drey actually is just a squirrel's nest, which is generally in a tree, and may or may not be in a cavity. The word is used in North America, but evidently not as much as in Britain.

2:00 am

Gillie

Unlike bird's nests, they're for shelter, not just for raising young

2:11 am

For those who are worried about Trump wanting to turn Canada into a U.S state I would not worry about it ever happening. He probably has not desire to dump that many liberal votes into the system, or to have only one state with universal healthcare.

6:43 am

sukee

If it was up to PP they’d go along with it.

6:54 am

Sunrise

Canada is still part of the Commonwealth - UK

7:02 am

aslindy

hello all

7:21 am

wingding

cross ... i thought he wanted to buy greenland ... when did canada come into the picture ... we've alot to worry about here for the next 4 years

7:28 am

SquidLP

He threatened to take over Canada during talks about the tariffs recently I think!

7:29 am

SquidLP

Greenland was his previous term, I believe, though I'd be shocked if he knows the difference between Greenland and Canada

7:55 am

saanichcat

it was Greenland that Trump assumed he could buy gor minerals etc. Greenland is not for sale. The people were really angry about the whole thing.

7:56 am

SquidLP

Probably a strange experience to be told he can't buy something. Probably why he's threatening to take over Canada and not talking about buying it.

7:59 am

saanichcat

He threatened to crush canadaS economy, but not to take over it. not yet.

8:01 am

mael

good morning everyone

8:02 am

saanichcat

hi mael, long time no see!

8:02 am

mael

hi saanich!

8:03 am

mael

I hope everything is well, besides the lunatic this country elected

8:07 am

saanichcat

That is a serious problem globally I think. OK here in this tiny corner though.

8:08 am

saanichcat

1:28 pm

joym999

pretty well. I'm still eating Thanksgiving leftovers, since 3 of our 5 guests got sick and didn't show. I'm not complaining, though.

1:28 pm

hokie carla

lol, just finished my corn casserole last night

1:29 pm

joym999

ooh that sounds good. We mostly have chestnut stuffing and cranberry sauce left.

1:32 pm

MollyL

By the Tuesday after Thanksgiving we are all "leftovered out". I have to freeze some of the turkey soup and then we can be done with it for a while.

1:32 pm

BzznBea

clue for the in6/7, please.

1:35 pm

hokie carla

not coastal

1:35 pm

joym999

Yeh, I froze a container of turkey soup yesterday, too, but the stuffing is so good I figured I could eat the rest of it.

1:35 pm

hokie carla

once my kids left it was just us to eat the leftovers.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

my stuffing tasted really weird so I threw it away

1:36 pm

MollyL

They don't take leftovers home with them?

1:37 pm

hokie carla

they didn't go directly home, they went up to TN/VA then on to the VT/UVA game

1:38 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, Carla. I knew it would be a simple one.
