Cybernan - I've lived in USA for 60 years and have never seen he6 spelled that way.
2:39 pm
MollyL
It's not spelled that way. It's not an "Americanization" it is just an incorrect spelling.
2:56 pm
scatterbrain
Hi aii I know that he 6 has been clued but still not getting it?????
2:57 pm
wingding

DEI reporting another anti-semitic slur in grid. Was identified earlier. Oh, I forgot. There is no DEI. It makes planes crash.
3:02 pm

Wow thanx wing???
3:02 pm
wingding
i can't believe that's even a joke now .. our commander-in-chief is a real jokester
3:02 pm
wingding
really makes us look stupid
3:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Just those who voted for him. The rest of us are traumatized
3:03 pm
wingding
scatter do you have any 'a's from the top row ?
3:04 pm
wingding
sadly, my niece in law is a therapist, and if frustrated when she has to console ppl who are traumatized by the leader we have ... she's all in on the kool-aide
3:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne
you mean a fellow therapist voted for him?
3:06 pm
nrkii
a lot of highly educated people voted for him, don't be lulled into thinking only a certain "type" is on that side
3:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I live in a bubble.
3:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Somerville Massachusettes.
3:08 pm
nrkii
I live in a multi-political family and friend circle
3:08 pm
nrkii
I lived in Somerville for 3 months after college... right around the corner from the Star Market, if I am remembering right
3:09 pm
nrkii
It's one of the things that makes it painful to read the chat here, is that many people I love dearly are impugned all the time by people's remarks. I know it's easy to think everyone agrees, but... :(
3:10 pm
Kaplan the Magne
nrkii- it's changed A LOT since those days. Super expensive and hip and not Slummerville. Older working class and newer techies. A big art scene, and a lot of dispensaries.
3:11 pm
nrkii
Yeah, it was pretty much all working class in 1990. I shared an apartment with 3 other people and at $400 a month, it was all I could afford. If that house is still standing, the monthly heat alone is probably $400.
3:11 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have my limits. I couldn't be friends with someone who supported Il Duce or Adolph. What is going on now openly is terrifying. I keep wishing I would wake up and find it is all a crazy dream, and Kamala is President.
3:13 pm
Kaplan the Magne
What street? It went through a major spasm when the subway stations added it to the rest of Boston. There was a lot of town and gown animosity. Plus tons of overdose deaths around 2000.
3:13 pm
nrkii
Well, I sympathize with how you feel. I just don't end friendships over this. I've had others end friendships with me in the past, but I just give them space and time, and they come back. Everyone has to grieve, and anger is a part of that.
3:14 pm
Kaplan the Magne
An affordable apartment is $270,000 in a new building in Union Square.
3:14 pm
nrkii
I don't remember the name of the street. It was walking distance to Star Market and a little ice cream shop, but it was a bike or bus ride to get to the subway.
3:17 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh, the original Steve's ice cream! You lived near Porter Sq.. Steve sold his name to another owner, so when he reopened he couldn't use his name Steve. Harvard Square is basically a shopping mall, with most of its many bookstores gone. And its cafes. Very beloved place
3:17 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You lived around Elm St somewhere.
3:18 pm
nrkii
I hate what's happened to Harvard Square. It feels wrong to me.
3:18 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Or Beacon. I have lived here since 1980, but my roots are in Flushing, Queens.
3:19 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Harvard Sq Business Association has let it turn into a shallow mall. Now they are building up Union Sq, an Brazilian neighborhood of flavor and interest. Can't recognize it.
3:20 pm
nrkii
where is/was Lechmere station?
3:21 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's ok when there's building in New York because it always changes. Lechemere is near the Science Museum, and the Galleria Mall which may still be open. They now have connected the Green Line through Somerville and up to Medford I think. I haven't been on it yet!
3:22 pm
Kaplan the Magne
They call Boston the Hub because to get anywhere you had to go to Park St Station in the middle, and then get another train out of the hub to your destination. Like a wheel. You can't get there from here is the slogan.
3:25 pm
nrkii
I think I lived off of Cambridge St or Somerville Ave because it was a straight shot down a very busy road to get to the Lechmere stop and head to work in Boston that Summer
3:26 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Cambridge St ran from Lechemere to Inman Sq. Then it would veer off into Beacon St which was where the OLD Star Market was.
3:27 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The might be boring to everyone, but it's interesting to me how cities change, and how demographics change.
3:28 pm
nrkii
Yes, I think I must have been off of Beacon. I'm probably just forgetting the Veer. :)
3:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
When you lived here, the Winter Hill Gang was still in operation.
3:30 pm
Kaplan the Magne
You lived near a brick building with cemented windows, which is where the counseling offices for the methadone clinic were. Where I worked. A lot of gangland children. You know, "Mystic River,"
3:30 pm
nrkii
Not that I would have noticed the Irish mob. I grew up in a city that was very Irish vs. Italian. It was normal to me.
3:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Here too. And Flushing too. It's because of the redlining.
3:31 pm
nrkii
Well, back to work. Nice chatting!
3:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Work?
3:33 pm
dcseain
yeah, not all of us are retired yet.
3:33 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am not retired- I just make my own hours.
3:34 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I am tired though.
3:40 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have a cat that snores louder than my husband. I had switched to another bedroom and this cat was at my head. I forgot she was in that room. I have 3 cats and they all have bedrooms.
3:57 pm
dcseain
29 Helens agree promptness is important.
4:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne
The Empty Nest is full of cats.
4:43 pm
MollyL
So you have a five bedroom house and three of those bedrooms belong to cats?
5:22 pm

Lol scrabby has a bedroom just for her rabbits. :)
