hurshy

oh, well the lower one can't hold 7s, we've called them all

12:33 am

justafreep

also, nan, I have never seen that ch7 in use. I figure it's slang or something, though, rather than a comparative, cuz I can't figure out what that would be used for!

12:33 am

hurshy

hahahha

12:34 am

The word of the day is zeugma. a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g., John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ). Put that one down on your Scrabble board.

6:53 am

ChampFit

8:45 am

phaeton

Oh my God. I imagine Target is a madhouse today.

8:53 am

9:26 am

MollyL

You would be surprised at how many people run out at the last minute for lights, wrapping paper and other items they may run out of

9:26 am

hurshy

ahh

9:27 am

MollyL

I went to the grocery store one Christmas Eve and there were no carts. Not one.

hurshy

(O Tannenbaum)

9:54 am

MollyL

Nat King Cole had a one of a kind voice. And his daughter is amazing as well.

9:55 am

hurshy

10:00 am

rururocks

i don't think she's singing any longer is she?

10:01 am

11:37 am

hokie carla

target was indeed a madhouse. there was a single line to the cash registers back through most of the store.

11:39 am

hokie carla

I thought of two things I forgot while I was standing in line but no way was I getting out.

11:40 am

crosshair

They tried Target stores

11:40 am

crosshair

They tried Target stores here in a few of the old Lz

11:40 am

crosshair

Ellers

11:41 am

crosshair

Wow, bit of a malfunction going on here

11:41 am

hokie carla

never heard of Ellers

11:41 am

hokie carla

and I can't seem to see an ar5, medusa

11:41 am

crosshair

Trying carla-tablet misbehaving

11:42 am

Dorens

try ar + frozen water scrambled

11:43 am

crosshair

They tried a few Target stores here in the empty Zellers buildings after the arrival of Walmart killed them all off. They lasted for less than a year.

11:43 am

hokie carla

wow, couldn't see that even after I knew what you meant

11:44 am

hokie carla

not sure I've heard of zellers either

11:44 am

crosshair

It was big here apt one time.

11:47 am

crosshair

Target just had too much locally competition, and they failed to do their research. They also had massive supply issues. Store looked picked over most of the time--that and our local Giant Tiger stores sealed their fate.

11:53 am

BzznBea

Back for those last 29. Go Chiefs!

12:04 pm

medusa

thank you

12:27 pm

Gillie

I wonder if I'm the only person who tried "ochrier"

12:31 pm

doseffing

nope

12:32 pm

Gillie

not that I think it should be a word...

12:33 pm

doseffing

... if "swingy" can be a word there's no reason why ochrier can't be a word

12:45 pm

BzznBea

Namaste
