Good morning, Babblers. :)

9:24 am

hokie carla

yeah, remember when you all would call MLFAN (RIP) "MLF" and then I had to explain what it was?

9:26 am

NANCY

well what is it?

9:26 am

hokie carla

maybe you should just google it

9:26 am

hokie carla

and no, I did not make up that acronym, I just know what it is

9:29 am

NANCY

oh yeah, i remember it now and yes very dd

9:29 am

NANCY

disgusting for sure

9:32 am

hokie carla

well yeah, it's gross, but just to be clear it doesn't mean their own mothers

9:36 am

MollyL

Did you get confirmation that MLFan died? If not, I am not sure the RIP is appropriate.

9:37 am

hokie carla

just a feeling. but even if not, she could be resting by not being here.

9:41 am

rururocks

the pork and beans did her in I think

9:51 am

MollyL

Or skeletal

10:08 am

JohanM

Seeing the previous disgust on "MILF" I suppose you feeling as strong about "GILF"?

10:10 am

hokie carla

what is the G for?

10:11 am

hokie carla

equivalent would be F or D

10:19 am

MollyL

Very gross. It stands for Grandma

10:20 am

hokie carla

lol

10:22 am

hokie carla

but what if it's an age appropriate guy using either?

10:23 am

JohanM

Well, I am a grandfather who is sleeping with a grandmother.....(shrug)

10:23 am

hokie carla

exactly

10:25 am

hokie carla

that's why I wonder if these people calling it super disgusting think it's people talking about their own mothers.

10:48 am

MollyL

Many people find referring to anyone as "someone you'd like to f___" in poor taste.

10:49 am

hokie carla

yes, I agree with that

10:50 am

hokie carla

but I don't think in poor taste necessarily = super disgusting

10:55 am

mattygroves

Many, many years ago, at really the start of free ESP (email service providers) I set up a hotmail account and got a lot of 'Hot MILFs in your area' type spam (we're going back to just before the turn of the century here). Well, I was an innocent I guess, and did not know what a MILF was, so I searched it (this is even pre-Google). Whilst I did find the reference y'all are discussing, I also discovered it was an acronym Indonesian Islamic militant group of some description. I had visions of a bunch of very confused and distressed Indonesian Islamic militants.

10:56 am

hokie carla

ha. that's interesting.

10:59 am

ch1212

lol matty. I too set up a hotmail account in the late 90s, and still use it today!

moving back and forth between making supper and this

7:27 pm

penquis

got a question for you....did you enjoy your Scarlet Envelope thing?

7:32 pm

cybernan

it is interesting - still have 6 envelopes to go -- kids bought a year's subscription for me. I wouldn't renew. Finding it very frustrating at times. Solutions really don't make any sense at times and we can't figure out how they got there. Good excuse for 4 friends to get together though:) Thought it might be a generational thing, but my grandkids were having just as tough a time with it as the grandmas!

7:32 pm

penquis

ha!...good to know...

7:33 pm

cybernan

I think the kids that wrote it are probably all mensa candidates!

7:35 pm

penquis

probably!...

7:35 pm

penquis

i went to an escape room with my niece and Montreal cousins in September....it was stressful!

7:36 pm

cybernan

The grandmas are all post secondary graduates and so are my grandchildren, so we may not be brilliant but I think we are all of above average intelligence.

7:37 pm

cybernan

stats for the e please?

7:37 pm

penquis

i thought the same thing when we did the escape room....we escaped from the first room but not for the second in the hour we were allowed...

7:37 pm

penquis

eo 6/21...

7:38 pm

cybernan

ty - there goes the buzzer on my stove - bye :)

8:05 pm

penquis

8:05 pm
