9:08 am

rururocks

some of us are trying to ignore the horrors of the day

9:08 am

LuvWordGames

suefrad625

yes luv, that also

9:08 am

suefrad625

and the hostages being released

9:09 am

suefrad625

and the new president that we should pray for

9:09 am

hurshy

unless MLK's ghost shows up and challenges Trump to a dance-off whose results will permanently set the arc of the moral universe, i'm not interested

9:09 am

suefrad625

hate is hate

9:09 am

LuvWordGames

LOL

9:09 am

united we stand, divided we fall.

9:10 am

LuvWordGames

BzznBea

Why would we pray for him? I pray for our country.

9:10 am

suefrad625

thank God.

9:12 am

suefrad625

I guess most of us in America, are happy. as he won.

9:12 am

suefrad625

I guess most of us in America, are happy. as he won.

9:12 am

swmbo

This is the one place I come to to avoid Trump talk. Is it really necessary? Let’s talk about Babble and words etc.

9:12 am

hurshy

i guess you've been ignoring the polls then

9:12 am

suefrad625

how about we talk about the hostages being released

9:12 am

BzznBea

Thanks to Biden.

9:12 am

suefrad625

how amazing the parents looked

9:12 am

swmbo

Is this a political forum?

9:13 am

rururocks

I don't bring him up swmbo but won't avoid the subject when it's brought up

9:13 am

hurshy

except of course for the three hostages that the IDF killed themselves by bursting into a room and shooting without asking any questions first

9:13 am

suefrad625

Bzz, really, does it matter. they are free

9:13 am

suefrad625

it seems to be policy, when its what others want to talk about

9:14 am

BzznBea

No, it doesn't matter. But I wanted to say it before you praised the orange turd for it.

9:14 am

hurshy

nobody wants to talk about this except you

9:14 am

suefrad625

but I guess we can't discuss topics without personal assaults

9:14 am

hurshy

there have literally been no personal assaults here

9:15 am

BzznBea

And it is ironic that you do not usually chat here. But today you feel the need?

9:15 am

suefrad625

orange turd

9:15 am

swmbo

There was no personal assault but here is one for you. You are just trying to stir up sh**. Change the subject

9:15 am

suefrad625

so bzz

9:16 am

suefrad625

I have not said anything hateful or cursing.

9:16 am

BzznBea

swmbo, what is the temp there?

9:16 am

hurshy

let's all just ignore and if she keeps on, i'll email Doc and see if he's up for helping

9:16 am

suefrad625

I talked about shoes

9:16 am

suefrad625

you have all attacked me

9:16 am

swmbo

In Nova Scotia where I am it is 5C and very windy. No polar vortex.

9:17 am

suefrad625

look at yourselves for a change

9:17 am

hurshy

we got a lovely 2 inches of snow here, still on all the branches at this point

9:17 am

mael

I am about as unhappy as I can be that Trump won and I personally plan on ignoring him for four years

9:18 am

mael

6 inches here, nice and nippy out. I would have loved more!

9:18 am

BzznBea

We are just cold! I wish we had snow. At least we would have moisture.

9:18 am

swmbo

Hurshy, the rain has completely melted our snow. I am right on the coast so we normally have lots of wind

9:18 am

hurshy

yeah cold without snow is a bummer

9:18 am

mael

lows in the single digits tomorrow

9:19 am

Shirlockc

winter is a bummer

9:19 am

hurshy

ah, well, i suppose there have to be SOME drawbacks to living right on the coast

9:19 am

rururocks

phantom enzyme

9:20 am

Shirlockc

arty

9:20 am

Shirlockc

oops

9:20 am

BzznBea

Thanks, ru. Gave me that last z.

9:20 am

swmbo

I don’t mind winter, but I must say winter has been very Un-winter-like the last few years. Very mild.

9:20 am

hurshy

fyi, even if it was here "hazmat" would not count :(

9:20 am

rururocks

it's quite cold here for where I live

9:21 am

mael

I love winter, but only when it snows

9:21 am

Freeman

2 degrees here in Iowa

9:22 am

mael

I don't mind the cold either, to be honest. I hate warm winters, they're just scary

9:23 am

hurshy

phantom: satyr

9:23 am

swmbo

I have to admit a secret enjoyment of blizzards lol. Like being out in them, like watching them from inside.

9:23 am

mael

same

9:23 am

mael

I also love shoveling

9:23 am

rururocks

oh jeezus mael

9:23 am

hurshy

i mean i wouldn't like being out in them if it was as bad as the ones in The Long Winter, but...

9:24 am

swmbo

I like shoveling too! Great exercise.

9:24 am

mael

exactly! It's productive exercise, feels good

9:24 am

mael

(I also like digging in the garden)

9:24 am

hurshy

you gotta be careful tho, past 50, it's a very different FORM of exercise from anything people normally do and can very easily trigger a heart attack

9:24 am

Freeman

rh7, please?

9:25 am

rururocks

thanks for that one freeman

9:25 am

hurshy

first part sounds like a rodent, then end with "i will take *** amount of snow i can get"

9:25 am

Shirlockc

thx hurshy!

9:26 am

swmbo

I am 75 and still enjoy shovelling. You just have to pay attention to your body.

9:26 am

Freeman

thanks

9:26 am

hurshy

i just had a horrible feeling there would be a long RH word and used MW to get it

9:27 am

mael

thanks that was the last of the long words

9:27 am

rururocks

to be honest I wasn't watching the "Prince" get married too.. I'm not a big fan of the royal family

9:27 am

suefrad625

me either. but it was here

9:27 am

mael

I always forget that co4 is a word

9:27 am

hurshy

i think people would understand the charles and camilla thing better if we said she's his Rachel, and Diana was his Emily

9:28 am

suefrad625

and I enjoyed the talk and the descriptions

9:28 am

rururocks

I don't like Camilla at all

9:28 am

suefrad625

but I guess we can't respectfully disagree

9:29 am

mael

Camilla is a piece of work

9:29 am

swmbo

Are you still beating that dead horse?

9:29 am

suefrad625

I believe Hurshy brought it up

9:29 am

rururocks

you might be a little sensitive today sue..

9:29 am

suefrad625

9:29 am

hurshy

i just learned how that Friends storyline happened, by the way

9:30 am

mael

I never even watched friends, hah

9:30 am

rururocks

I never watched friends either

9:30 am

suefrad625

did you read back Ruru?

9:30 am

hurshy

apparently they didn't really know where to go with the Ross-Emily wedding exactly, and then David Schwimmer flubbed some minor line, came in and said "i got the phone, Rachel" instead of saying Emily, and was like "oh shoot, sorry" and then the writers were like THAT'S IT! THAT'S WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN!

9:32 am

hurshy

ok so for those who don't know, Ross said "I take thee, Rachel" instead of "I take thee, Emily" in his wedding to Emily

9:32 am

BzznBea

Thanks for the r7, hurshy.

9:32 am

BzznBea

Never seen it with the h

I have been part of this group for 10yrs or so

9:44 am

hurshy

9:50 am

suefrad625

I remember my first long coat. My best friend gave it to me, I couldn't afford one, and it made me feel like a princess. The ones today are beautiful.

9:51 am

hurshy

i saw a video out of florida where there was a gator outside a house with french doors. the dog in the house barked at the gator and the gator ran off in a big hurry back to the water

9:52 am

hurshy

and you know gators look pretty funny when running

9:52 am

rururocks

not when they're running at ya

9:52 am

hokie carla

oh, thanks for that

9:52 am

MollyL

Personally I find inaugurations boring. The only one I ever watched was Obama's because it was historic. And I only half watched that because I wasn't a big Obama fan.

9:52 am

rururocks

you watch to see Oprah cry molly?

9:52 am

hurshy

rururocks

9:53 am

suefrad625

Ive never been to Washington DC. but the building is amazing.

9:54 am

hurshy

9:54 am

Shirlockc

worth a visit sue, but when it's not so cold

9:54 am

MollyL

What building? Or do you mean the architecture?

9:54 am

suefrad625

can you imagine being one of the people in the choir. being chosen. that would be magical

9:54 am

suefrad625

I don't do cold anymore.

9:54 am

MollyL

I feel sorry for all those ticket holders who got screwed when it was moved inside.

9:55 am

suefrad625

I like seeing it on tv and when my kids complain about it. I rub it in, in hopes they move here.

9:55 am

suefrad625

me too Molly.

9:56 am

rururocks

they could storm the Capitol Molly if they need something to do

9:56 am

suefrad625

I can't imagine how crazy the coat person is? I remember working in the coat room as a kid.

9:57 am

suefrad625

Ruru, and I'm a problem?

9:57 am

rururocks

no sue.. i''m just joking like normal

9:58 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

hurshy

what is pesking you most at the moment hokie?

9:58 am

suefrad625

9:59 am

hokie carla

I'll get back to you, hurshy, when I look again.

9:59 am

hurshy

10:00 am

hurshy

i need 2, maybe they are the same ones

10:00 am

hurshy

oh, rats, i have the birds

10:00 am

rururocks

all three ?

10:00 am

hurshy

10:01 am

rururocks

the other m's are easy

10:01 am

hokie carla

feed the birds, tuppence a bag

10:01 am

hurshy

oho, one was ... i guess... "labyrinthine"?

10:02 am

hurshy

and one was a silly 4

10:02 am

hurshy

10:02 am

hurshy

10:06 am

hurshy

10:06 am

MollyL

Wasn't it nice not to have sore losers storming the Capitol after this election?

10:06 am

hurshy

and thought of the A!

10:08 am

suefrad625

this is definitely a monkey grid

10:11 am

suefrad625

got the Y. so happy

10:14 am

rururocks

it was nice molly and it was even more nice to not have to spend millions and millions of dollars on recounts

10:15 am

rururocks

all because someone's fragile ego couldn't stand the thought of losing.

10:16 am

hokie carla

I'm assuming narcissists usually have fragile egos

10:16 am

suefrad625

is that a joke Ruru?

10:16 am

rururocks

yes

10:16 am

suefrad625

so not funny, just snide

10:17 am

rururocks

that is a truth hokie.. and applies to all narcissists

10:17 am

rururocks

snide enough to be true sue.. if you think about it

10:17 am

Shirlockc

i agree with ruru about the narcissist, I had to work for one, it was hell

10:18 am

rururocks

throughout my life I've been a narcissist magnet until I learned to spot them and avoid them.

10:18 am

suefrad625

you all asked to leave out politic. do so then

10:19 am

suefrad625

did want the competition Ruru? lol

10:19 am

rururocks

I didn't ask sue.. others did. I'm not afraid to talk about Politics.. and I didn't attack you or call you names

10:19 am

hokie carla

well, bottom row gray at least

10:19 am

Shirlockc

i hope never to have to work for another narcissist

10:19 am

hokie carla

HOET and 17 left.

rururocks

To me, the only thing more disturbing than Trump being President is something happening to him and Vance being President.

11:43 am

trentsnana

I agree, ruru

11:44 am

MollyL

People who are pro-Trump scare me more than Trump does.

11:45 am

trentsnana

I agree with you, too, Molly

11:45 am

trentsnana

Oblivious

11:45 am

rururocks

I'm ok with Pro-Trump people in general as it's their belief.. but the Q nuts are a bit scary to me

11:46 am

trentsnana

Q nuts?

11:46 am

MollyL

I have no problem with Republicans. Trump does not follow the true Republican philosophy at all.

11:46 am

rururocks

the followers of Q (like) marjorie Green

11:47 am

rururocks

and a large portion of the whackos that attacked the Capitol Trents

11:47 am

trentsnana

Ahhhh

11:47 am

trentsnana

They all scare me

11:47 am

rururocks

yeah.. we're in for a wild ride I'd guess

11:48 am

Amy Rumler

It's the crooked members of congress that scare me! They'd rather fight than work for the people in my opinion

11:49 am

MollyL

Yeah, and Trump, the convicted felon will take care of that.

11:49 am

rururocks

And my tuppence worth on the inauguration - speaking as a totally hetrosexual female - Melania is stunningly beautiful.

1:23 pm

hokie carla

interesting. I didn't see her today, but I've never really thought that

1:23 pm

hokie carla

love a chat log that has tuppence in it 2x in one day

1:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A beautiful piece of plastic surgery work, that is.

1:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

one day can't we boycott the stations that aired this, and the newspapers (Washington Post) that took the coward's way out.

1:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I would not have watched this for the world- I already have a stomach flu thank you. The next thing is to focus on what to do next.

1:28 pm

hokie carla

well, next I would recommend pepto bismol or immodium.

1:28 pm

hokie carla

but seriously, hope you feel better soon.

1:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm already on a regimen. I will feel better in about 4 years- maybe.

1:53 pm

The media is not going to ignore newsworthy events

1:57 pm

ty Carla, but, I've never heard of it

agree, molly. wasn't like they weren't going to not be there and miss if anything big happened.

2:15 pm

hokie carla

that was a lot of negatives I used there. does it make any sense?

2:17 pm

swmbo

Yes lol

2:20 pm

hokie carla

good 🤣

2:24 pm

swmbo

Crazy times, millions of opinions, numerous venues for expressing them. No wonder things go off the rails

2:26 pm

swmbo

And we all tend to filter events through our own situations. How will this affect me?

2:27 pm

hokie carla

or just try to ignore it, like me

2:28 pm

swmbo

Yes I try. And honestly American politics don’t really affect me. Except when my country is threatened with 25% tariffs。That is hard to ignore.

2:33 pm

Gillie

Apparently - it's because Canada isn't doing enough to prevent drugs and illegal immigrants from pouring across the border. Firstly, I believe the drugs mostly go the other direction, and secondly, preventing illegal immigrants from entering the U.S. is really its own responsibility, and we certainly aren't doing anything to make it especially easy.

2:36 pm

swmbo

It’s a mess. And we will all end up much poorer

2:38 pm

Gillie

But maybe slapping tariffs on Canada seems tough and is easier than slapping tariffs on China, which is likely to significantly raise prices in the U.S. while apparently having a fairly minor impact on China's economy (1% or less, according to an article I read in the Financial Times). The Canadian (and Mexican, and Danish(?)) tariffs will also raise prices in the U.S.

2:41 pm

swmbo

Like I said a mess. It’s all for show, sabre rattling so everyone can see what a tough guy he is.

2:42 pm

swmbo

16 left but I have to let it go, crushing headache.

2:48 pm

hokie carla

ugh, feel better soon

3:00 pm

Gillie

And as for Molly's comment that "Trump does not follow the true Republican philosophy at all" - maybe not, but the Republicans are following Trump pretty slavishly.

3:03 pm

Gillie

And what is the "true Republican philosophy", apart from making it easier to ban abortion? They used to talk about reducing deficits, but somehow deficits always seemed to go up more under Republicans.

3:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Major events are also made by media.

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What is true Republican? We have here Strongman vs. weakened democracy= fascism.

3:37 pm

swmbo

Kaplan, I went to Amazon trying to buy your book but it said “unavailable”. Can you point me to a place where I could buy it?

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rivkah+lapi\ndus&crid=ACKPVPQY13W9&sprefix=rivkah+l\napidus%2Caps%2C158&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The link worked for me. Let me know if you have more trouble. I can send you a copy- or even the pdf that I STILL am working on.

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And thanks so much for tryint

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Maybe it's because you're Canadian and we're starting a trade war?

4:03 pm

swmbo

No, I tried before. I am interested for a variety of reasons. I think you and I are more or less contemporaries and I’d love to see what kind of childhood you had in Flushing compared to mine in small town NS. I am going to try the link again.

4:09 pm

swmbo

Tried it again and the link worked. Should have it by Feb 3.

5:18 pm

MollyL

Please use tinyurl.com to post a link.
Otherwise, it blows the chat width.

cybernan

hello everyone

6:19 pm

suefrad625

Hi Cyberman. I was told earlier that this in a political free zone. I guess that is just if you dont agree with the people here.

6:22 pm

cybernan

yes - I'm afraid we are in for a period of a lot of political
controversy and dissatisfaction

6:22 pm

suefrad625

I know it is not a job i would ever want.

6:22 pm

cybernan

that goes on both sides of the border

6:23 pm

suefrad625

Yep

6:23 pm

cybernan

I can't wait for a change in our government

6:23 pm

suefrad625

I cant wait till the hate stops

6:23 pm

suefrad625

It would be nice to get back to the respect of disagreeing.

6:24 pm

cybernan

I'm sorry but I don't think that is going to happen with

6:24 pm

cybernan

Trump and friends in control

6:25 pm

suefrad625

Im gonna say “give peace a chance”. With a peace sign.

6:25 pm

cybernan

yes, but how does that happen when you have a
president that declares war on everyone

6:26 pm

suefrad625

Did you Carrie Underwood. She Cowgirled Up. So strong.

6:27 pm

suefrad625

All presidents have the riched friends

6:27 pm

suefrad625

His happens to accomplish a lot for humanity

6:28 pm

suefrad625

I really dislike the auto spell correct

6:29 pm

cybernan

I'm not going to argue with you. I think the guy is nuts and I really hate to see an oligarchy in place to the south of us. Not all presidents appoint their wealthy friends and family to key government positions no matter how unqualified they are.

6:29 pm

cybernan

Done and on my way. Enjoy the evening everyone :)

6:30 pm

suefrad625

Yea, they pardon them for not commuting any crimes.

6:38 pm

suefrad625

Sorry. Idk

6:45 pm

rururocks

sue... they were pardoned as a preemptive effort to prevent them from being attacked by Trump

6:46 pm

rururocks

he's been threatening all of them for months

6:47 pm

rururocks

not really very presidential if you think about it.

6:51 pm

MollyL

There is nothing Presidential about Trump.
He is a greedy, narcissistic, power hungry man
who has no love for the people he is supposed to
represent.

7:07 pm

godthaab

And he is a convicted criminal. I just heard a stat that says

7:07 pm

godthaab

there are 1360 children who have not been able to be reunited

7:07 pm

godthaab

with their parents after they were wepareated in 2018 during

7:08 pm

the time he separated immigrants from their children
