washing? happy?
3:40 am
MonkeyGames
Hee, hee. Just unwinding for a minute after the trip to the woods with dog and boy.
3:40 am
sprite
some people, Ata, some people....
3:41 am
sprite
did you have fun, MonkeyG?
3:42 am
MonkeyGames
Yup, except when Walter bumped a stinging nettle-- but he was brave and got over it. Saskia got to play with a one-year-old boxer and her best friend Django the husky mix. Walter basically just ran, except for tree stump climbing breaks.
3:43 am
sprite
great to hear he is running all the time again! So, a happy child and a happy dog... and how is mum? How is the back, for instance?
3:44 am
MonkeyGames
Back sucks. I just made my last physio appointment. I got my doctor and physio on the case to try to tie this into the tendinitis that has gone ignored for years... we'll see. The doctor gave me a blood test to look for tendinitis of THAT type. They're going to discuss things. Further OK though, except a tad stressed about school.
3:45 am
MonkeyGames
If they can make that tie-in and call it chronic the insurance has to pay.
3:46 am
sprite
really hope that works out, you need the treatments. As for school: one thing at a time, MonkeyG. And call me if you need to vent and yell and tell someone it is never ever going to work without any consequences, lol. I know you will make it.
3:47 am
MonkeyGames
Thnk you! Yeah, we'll get through it! My BIG stress is the bakfiets. It will die soon, and die completely. After that I will be without transport to get Walter to school. Can't even a fford a second-hand one right now.
3:48 am
sprite
isn't there someone who can borrow you a bike for a while?
3:48 am
FMitch
9 left, this is a much nicer grid than it first looks. Time to take a break and head on out. Happy Babbling.
3:48 am
Atalante
lend you a bike :P
3:48 am
sprite
FM, have a grand day and hope to see you later!
3:49 am
MonkeyGames
Not that I have yet found. I do have aregular bike but couldn't get my school stuff anywhere or do any shopping that way... and can't afford to fix it up right now either.
3:49 am
MonkeyGames
Bye FM!
3:49 am
sprite
yay! Mixing them up again, aren't I! Lend you a bike, so you can borrow it. Correct?
3:50 am
MonkeyGames
Found a GREAT bakfiets on Marktplaats for 275 Euros; 50 years old and thus built to last. But can't even spend that. Sigh. All will somehow work out, though-- it always does. Know anyone who wants to buy portraits, baby blankets, or pinatas?
3:50 am
MonkeyGames
Correct usage there, Sprite.
3:50 am
sprite
there are very good and very lowprices bike bags like the ones I have on mine. They take loads of stuff. And a simple backsupport would be enough to keep MonkeyMan safe.
3:50 am
MonkeyGames
Folks, lend and borrow are the same word in Dutch.
3:51 am
MonkeyGames
I have a good child seat. Still not very secure feeling on a bike though-- didn't grow up on one like folks here But yeah, I can find a way to manage. But a bakfiets has become my mainstay.
3:51 am
sprite
yup, and that is why I am so grateful to Ata for telling me when I goof up. How am I ever to learn if nobody tells me I am making mistakes! :)
3:51 am
MonkeyGames
I'm in the same boat, of course.

3:56 am

Hi Bob!
3:56 am
Atalante
Bob? A *male* Bob?
3:57 am
Atalante

3:57 am

Don't do it Bob! this game would have 3 6's on its head, if it had a head.
3:57 am
sprite
MonkeyG: 10 of a high playing card?
3:57 am
MonkeyGames
I mean the t6 from the upper right...
3:57 am
LoriP
Ata, rest assured it'll be very low in nutritional content.
3:58 am
sprite
come one, Lori, you know you are making this up. This game has 11 6's. You are seeing the devil in all things human, you.
3:58 am

one of my favourite films is Dead Mans Shoes. I recommend everyone sees it
4:54 am

My son & his g/f went to see 'Burn After Reading' last night. They said it was 'quite weird'.
4:54 am
LoriP
And there is no way there are 20 p's in this hateful, contrary, poopy grid. ***purple crayons the p***
4:54 am
sprite
I don't know that one. What kind of movie is it, bfsog?
4:54 am
sprite
quite weird... is that a recommendation, Jac, from them? :)
4:55 am
LoriP
k is getting easy sprite, because you can just make up words. No problem-O, fake words!
4:55 am
Jacula
Sprite - not sure. LOL
4:55 am
sprite
smart Lori! Well, I kinda agree. As long as they aren't longer than 5 letters, I seem to manage nowadays.
4:56 am
bfsog
kind of a revenge movie, set in northern england, but its the type of film that i cant say much cos i will give the plot away
4:57 am
sprite
I will ask to-the-point questions then, bfsog: lots of tension? lots of violence? Humor? Good ending?
4:57 am

yes, there are 4 ... 3 are pretty common words, luckily
5:02 am

5:03 am
Kathihle
speaking of tea, that was my phantom .. I wanted teacup! lol
5:03 am

yw Lori :) Now you are 100% better in the 7s than me.
5:03 am
sprite
I have lots of phantoms. All can + something else that is elsewhere in the grid.
5:04 am
Kathihle
lol @ sprite ... do you sometimes feel someone made a mistake with a letter on the grid?
5:04 am
Jacula
Ah, Beloved anticipated my need and tea just appeared by my side as if by magic. :-)
5:05 am
Kathihle
*looks round for a beloved* ... darn, the dogs haven't mastered that yet
5:05 am
sprite
every day, Kathihle. Mistakes in the grid and mistakes in the enable dictionary :)
5:06 am
Jacula
Kath - you'll have to ask a Dog Whisperer for help in training them properly.
5:06 am
sprite
Jac, he is such a keeper!
5:06 am
Kathihle
sprite> oh well, we KNOW that dictionary is a thumb-suck type! hehe
5:06 am
Jacula
Sprite - indeed he is.:-)
5:06 am
sprite
he is coming too, right Jac, to Holland? With you?
5:07 am
Kathihle
Jac> Great idea! My daughter has her dog so beautifully trained and I can see in his eyes he'd make me tea if he only had hands! lol
5:07 am
Jacula
Yes Sprite, but I don't know when we'll be coming.
5:07 am
Jacula
Kath - LOL.
5:08 am

wh4ever it is, Jac, we will do all we can to meet up with you two. Am looking forward to it.

Ooh, the gi 6 describes me well! ***ducks in preparation of hurled objects***
5:08 am
Kathihle
I'd love to visit Holland too, have friends there
5:09 am
sprite
Kath, it must be one of the reasons I love playing this game. No matter how inferior I feel, when I start playing babble I get to feel superior to the grid generator AND the dictionary!
5:09 am
Kathihle
lol @ Lori ... I'll keep objects handy for later
5:09 am
NonoNanette
oh my Lori, are we a bit big headed today?
5:09 am
Kathihle
sprite> oh dear, I'm still an amateur then .. I still feel inferior *hangs head*
5:09 am
sprite
I would love to throw something, but I don't have the word yet.
5:10 am
sprite
oh, I do have the word. Tsk. Yes, you are, Lori. Very. In errr.... many departments.
5:10 am
NonoNanette
Kathi you beat todays grid... dont feel inferior!
5:10 am
LoriP
***runs around the room like a kid after 4 chocolate bars***
5:11 am
Kathihle
Nono> oh, but I'd never manage without Lickety ... still have never managed much further than halfway before I have to resort to the list
5:11 am
sprite
lol Kath, just look at the grid. See? Some letters are in the wrong place. You know it, I know it. The grid generator apparently doesn't know. *smug moment*
Then look at the words. Like 'inny'. It is a word. We all either have one or don't have one. I know it, you know it, we all know it. But enable does't. *another smug moment*
5:12 am
sprite
go wash up, Lori, before you smudge something.

my brother and his wife where due September 5th... baby came 3 weeks early, weighing in at 11 lb!
We think the docs got it really really wrong!
7:04 am

7:04 am
crosshair
wish i had some 7,s :((
7:04 am
ylleria
np, montreal
7:04 am
mrpresident
the baby and mother nearly died, cause that child was so overdue, and she was not going to have it naturally... no way!
7:04 am
ylleria
well, one is a de 7, crossy :)
7:04 am
hydra
11lb? That's massive! Ouch!
7:04 am

Mr P. that is an amazing weight.
7:04 am
crosshair
dont the induce after 2 weeks over?
7:05 am
EspritdJean
geez mrP surely the docs could tell by ultrasound that the baby was gargantuan!?
7:05 am
hydra
Hiya ylleria
7:05 am
EspritdJean
btw my mother was 13# at birth
7:05 am
montreal13
11 pounds ? wow ...and, supposedly, 3 weeks early...!!!
7:05 am

Yll. sorry not there yet.
7:05 am

my dad was 14;)
7:05 am
hydra
My friend went one month overdue and her belly was almost transparent, it was so stretched.
7:05 am
mrpresident
from the time that she started to contract (bleeding to death) to the time baby was delivered by emergency was 20 minutes.... lucky she lives 3 minutes from the hospital
7:06 am
hydra
Very scary, mrp. Imagine if hospital had been further away
7:06 am
mrpresident
montreal... there is no way in hell that child was 3 weeks early... more like 3 weeks late
7:06 am
crosshair
month overdue?? thats insane to let it go that long
7:06 am
elder
Mr P. close call.
7:06 am
montreal13
scary indeed...
7:06 am
mrpresident
cross, they got the date very very wrong
7:07 am
crosshair
good grief
7:07 am
montreal13
i know mrp but she was only open 1 and a half centimeter on tuesday...
7:07 am
hydra
They kept her in hospital and she flatly refused to be induced. Everything was OK in the end. A 14lb baby, though. My daughter was only 7lb 4oz, same as me at birth.
7:07 am
mrpresident
but that is the crap thing about being seen only by a midwife here... people 'choose' to do that (which is what they did) and if they had gone via private doc, that would NOT have happened, I promise you.
They only did one ultrasound at 20 weeks.... and got it terribly wrong
7:08 am
EspritdJean
pretty damn scary, glad they are ok!
7:08 am
elder
I thought the placenta stopped working efficiently some after the due date.
7:08 am

wow elder! I only go back as far as 11 years ago... it was a 6 week scan, 12 week scan, 18 week scan... 32 weeks and then 36 weeks to make sure all was sound.
Now, it is 2 scans... one at 20 weeks and only if absolutely necessary at 32 weeks.

I'm sure you have it under control then, but I have found it really helpful - especially for the "extended" community who wants to feel useful but doesn't want to intrude. It also helps space out the meals or even "family night - bring a movie" type ideas so that fun can be scheduled in as well

8:22 am

my brother in law is an agent... and his clients are the director/choreographer, the writer, and the two producers....quite the big wig that night. We met, um, EVERYONE!!! :)
8:22 am
oodleberry
ok katie like glue
8:22 am
Scrabbler
Very sunny but cold here--another frost last night.
8:23 am
Scrabbler
OK, bye for now.
8:23 am
KatieMcG
As that sounds great, they are very lucky kids
8:23 am
AsGreen
I'm at 60 left... should focus as breeder just emailed me that puppy is on the plane! :)
8:24 am
AsGreen
yes, my kids lead a charmed life. But, we make sure they realize it - and, quite honestly, they are not bratty at all - very appreciative and polite and fun (I really need to lay off the caffeine I think!)
8:24 am
KatieMcG
Bye scrabbler
8:24 am
AsGreen
bye Scrabbs - I hope you have a great day! :) I'm glad it's sunny for you today!
8:25 am
KatieMcG
It sounds like you are doing a great job. I was in my early 20s before I realised that you had to put effort into 'keep moments'.
8:25 am
AsGreen
"keep moments" - not sure I get what you mean
8:27 am
KatieMcG
That's what I call moments you want to keep forever i.e. first kiss with hubby, dancing in the kitchen to 'she's so lovely with my niece on a sunny day' swimming alone with a wild turtle in the maldives - just some of my keep moments
8:28 am
KatieMcG
I lived very much in the present before but it is nice to remember the past as well
8:28 am
oodleberry
from what language are the 'H' words???
8:28 am
Boobear
good morning
8:28 am
KatieMcG
morning boo
8:28 am
AsGreen
so, the effort is ??? - in remembering them? or appreciating them?
8:29 am
oodleberry
hi boo
8:29 am
AsGreen
omg, this breeder is a bit flakey.... I just checked the flight info she gave me, and she sent the dog to a different (but closer) airport!! I'm so glad I checked!
8:30 am
KatieMcG
both, appreciating them as keep moments when they happen and making the effort to dust them off and smile at them rather than just being rushed in the now
8:30 am
oodleberry
anyone got any of the h words... one hu and two he
8:30 am
KatieMcG
you would think she would have mentioned it before
8:31 am
AsGreen
ah, yes, that is good advice... well, we do enjoy as we go along, and the photos (which I hope someday to do something with rather than have them on a computer) are great memory reminders!
8:31 am
KatieMcG
I've got 1 He5 oodle
8:32 am

8:35 am
jorjahgal
kinda off subject but wondering... if people are here playing but don't talk much if any are we what ya'll consider lurkers?
8:35 am
KatieMcG
4 letters meaning entering
8:35 am
AsGreen
breed is a stretch here.... but she's a mini goldendoodle/labradoodle mix....
8:35 am
MonkeyGames
Isn't that from another I, or are there two with similar meanings? Thanks...
8:36 am
KatieMcG
oh sorry that is the wrong one. 4 letters a latin word I think used in law
8:36 am
reparteena
wow! lab, golden, poodle?
8:37 am
MonkeyGames
So both from that i are four letters long and odd... gotcha! Thank you!
8:37 am
AsGreen
well... y - a goldendoodle is a "breed" now, and so is a labradoodle... and this is a mix of the two
8:37 am
reparteena
yes jor
8:37 am
KatieMcG
No sorry monkey the first clue I gave was for the wrong i
8:37 am

8:38 am
KatieMcG
me too red. I'm going to the list early!
8:38 am
MonkeyGames
Yes. The one I have from the i in quesyion, though, fits your second clue... so wondering if both from that one do, is all. Is it an in word as well?

Peanut Butter on top.. what genius invented that?
10:11 am
Haz1558
It would have to be an American genius.

An American probably , travesty!

Peanut butter is great on almost everything.

Hi again briefly.
10:18 am
Scrabbler
I try to keep mine as a small tire, not one for a tractor.
10:18 am
lil*monkey
eee !
10:18 am
lil*monkey
Scrabs, I used to call mine "the bagel" but it's growing into a tire
10:19 am

please monkey.... I've seen your pics, you are slim!
10:19 am
lil*monkey
menopause is the #1 reason for gaining weight in your middle
10:19 am
MonkeyGames
Monkey, I have my doctor and physio working on my case... if they can get the insurance to accept a definition of chronic, then they have to pay for more physio. Since I have untreated tendinitis that has been flaring up for about ten years and my shoulder keeps locking up, they think they can tie it all together. Had a blood test yesterday in that direction. Oh, and ook ook.
10:20 am
Scrabbler
I saw a truck/trailer on the thruway a few days with the biggest tires I have ever seen, being transported somehwere.
10:20 am
Haz1558
No 2 is muffins with peanut butter.
10:20 am
FMitch
Being a woman is the other reason, that and weight on the hips
10:20 am
MonkeyGames
Is it? I thought it was having a baby at 36 while already being pretty out of shape... but as of yesterday I am down anopther 2 1/2 kilos!
10:20 am
Scrabbler
The #1 reason for my paunch = excessive caloric intake.
10:20 am
lil*monkey
I'm glad you have a good MD & good physio who are working together to help you , MG (ee eeeeee!)
10:20 am

10:21 am
Aloyisius
(not that i have a guilty conscience)
10:22 am

it's a good source of protein, aloy... and several minerals and lots of vitamins... ignore those brits who don't undretsnad a good thing when they taste

Aloyisius
ty for the vote of support, kje... Weight Watchers used to recomment p.butter on whole wh. toast
10:22 am
Haz1558
It's not the peanut butter on its own - it's the combination with muffins which seems strange.
10:22 am
Scrabbler
Haha, monkey.
10:23 am
FMitch
peanut butter is to die for - it just can't figure on my menu.
10:23 am
Haz1558
Does peanut butter with muffins constitute fusion cookery?
10:23 am
Aloyisius
forgot to tell you Haz that I also smeared JELLY on the combo... yum
10:23 am

10:37 am
kje
yes, FM, depends on the babbler, but yes.... but mind you, I would also do the house swap thing with strangers via some of those internet sites... from all accounts it is pretty safe
10:37 am

10:38 am

perhaps a degree from Harvard or another institution of higher learning could be a prerequisite to earning the right to vote? LOL
10:38 am
Scrabbler
I would share my home, FM. The area is beuatiful and we have a ski resort across the valley, a park next to us, with trails, etc.
10:39 am

Aloyisius
oh, Haz... I LIKE J. Nicholson... he is so weird
10:41 am
kje
they add a new item daily, red.... some of teh things interact... like click on the bridge and a car drives off the end to nowhere...etc
10:42 am
Haz1558
If it's Stephen King, then it's probably scary as well. Two good reasons not to watch it.
10:42 am
lil*monkey
but we do have requirements, red... have to be a certain age
10:42 am
JBV

10:45 am

10:46 am
JBV
we've had family feuds over that - my husband thinks you can just slide it around without taking out the drawers!

i just got done laughing at maverick statements...
10:51 am
kje
yes... sorry... was watching a news spot interviewing a woman saying she won't vote for anyone with a name like obama... president obama is not american
10:51 am
Aloyisius
what a ditz head!
10:51 am
redturtlehead
yep...
10:51 am
kje
did you see joe the plumber, red?
10:51 am
Atalante
I love watching the news reports of ppl saying they are scared of Obama. I mean, seriously? In 2008?!
10:51 am
redturtlehead
this is a problem we have.
10:52 am

10:52 am
FMitch
Good to see you Scrabs, have a good day.
10:52 am
kje
thankfully, i think most of this people are fringe... or at least i truly hope so
10:52 am
Atalante
friend's mother has already voted McCain/Palin, and her reason was literally race. It's scary
10:52 am
redturtlehead
ata, there was a lady who stated she thinks the dems are hiding that obama is not a citizen....
10:52 am
kje
bye scrabs...hagd
10:53 am
redturtlehead
i'm afeard of mccain, honestly.
10:53 am
kje
LOL red - people are scary and funny at the same time
10:53 am
JBV
i think it's very discouraging and somewhat frightening.... instead of people celebrating the first black president, we will have people thinking the next president is a terrorist!
10:53 am
Haz1558
It matters not a jot what he is, but does the fact that Obama's mother was white not have any influence?
10:53 am
redturtlehead
it is distressing JBV...
10:54 am
redturtlehead
In a way Haz, for some people that makes it worse...
10:54 am
Atalante
no, because he's Not American, a terrorist and an Arab
10:55 am
redturtlehead
But the McCain campaign keeps indicateing he has almost never been to those "arab" countries...
10:55 am
JBV
colin powell spoke very well about the "muslim" issue - he said why doesn't McCain say it doesn't matter, are we telling young Muslim Americans out there that they can never be president?
10:55 am
Erda
Some people's stupidity has no limits.....
10:55 am
Atalante
it just gets funny when McCain ends up defending Obama from the people
10:55 am
kje
red... did you watch the last debate?
10:56 am
redturtlehead
I did kje, I was watching it on the net while watching project Runway finale too...
10:56 am
kje
i almost choked when mccain had the nerve to attack obama b/c he ha not visited Venezuela .... obama should have said, your runing mate has never been anywhere!
10:56 am
Atalante
but hey, she can see Russia!
10:56 am
redturtlehead
does she have a passport?
10:56 am
JBV
he also referred to a photo that was in the Sept. 29 issue of the New Yorker - of a mother at her son's grave in Arlington National Cemetery - the son, who was killed in Iraq, was a Muslim
10:56 am
redturtlehead
I missed that.
10:57 am
Erda
LOL, Atalante
10:57 am
FMitch
I also think it is funny that Tina Fay/Fey? is in the grid today
10:57 am
kje
she does... and this past year she did go visit the troops.... she just got her passport
10:57 am
redturtlehead
JBV it is terrible. There was a babbler on here a few days ago who made the statement, "that Obama has muslim tendencies"
10:57 am
redturtlehead
oops she said Muslim Sympathies...
10:57 am
Atalante
nooooo!
10:58 am
JBV
tendencies? oy vey
10:58 am
redturtlehead
to which I wondered what was wrong with that. tons of Muslims in our country.
10:58 am
redturtlehead
I think its sort of hard for people to accept that the face of America is really changing.
10:58 am
Atalante
but Muslims are Arabs and Terrorists
10:59 am
JBV
people say that American Muslims have been quiet about the terrorism issue - I think it's because they are just plain scared
10:59 am
kje
red, click on the door several times... it shows different things each time
11:00 am
JBV
it takes years, maybe generations, to change people's outlook - I work in a part of the country that has been "diverse" for a very long time, and yet the old attitudes prevail
11:00 am
JBV
I can imagine how much more difficult it is in parts of the country where the new faces are really new
11:01 am
redturtlehead
My parents, who are regular old white poeple moved to rural PA in the 70's are were labelled as outsiders...because they didnt have a german sounding name...
11:01 am
redturtlehead
kje, that door is scary.
11:02 am
redturtlehead
Now of course, they are considered "regulars" because they stayed.
11:02 am
FMitch
I have to say that it is sacrey some US citizens that have never been outside of their state or the US - I have met them when they have come over here as part of a US Co's expansion into the 'unknown market' that is Euorpe and PAC
11:02 am
Atalante
people who lived through the rosa parks era must be horrified at seeing the different parts of segregation now
11:03 am
Atalante
but that happens in every country, though more in the US
11:03 am
redturtlehead
FM, to be honest, it is very expensive to travel outside of the US. My Mother went to Portugal for the first time last year.
11:03 am
kje
red... i just found the "where'd russia go?" when clicking on the window - LOLOL
11:03 am
redturtlehead
But to not have at least been somewhere else...like the next state is wierd.
11:04 am
redturtlehead

11:06 am

11:06 am
redturtlehead
I just hope nothing odd happens. with the election...funny how everyone was wanting to drill offshore, saying it was why gas prices were so high.

MonkeyGames
In the pa's I have song, got wages, ouch, pigment, two, window glass, bread-looking word, trousers half, and got wages again...

Thank you!
11:07 am

they were saying on npr that it will be less than 2 soon, red... question is, how soon will people then go back to their gas guzzling ways
11:07 am
redturtlehead
FM, I think people don't really value travel...A lot go to the Bahamas, but only go to the resort area...
11:08 am

one big difference between europe and here is that you can drive for a couple hours and be in another country.... I can drive for 6 12 hours and still be in texas.... there are plenty of europeans who have never left europe, which is similar distance wise

I am dense I guess. But then I am a fan of Palin, so, if it wasn't nice then...I wouldn't know

that would explain the densness

ty ruru.... i needed to be heard : )

I just realized that lickety is in fact working. I forgot that I didn't close expert last night and therefore needed to refresh...

ah, now I get it KJE
11:59 am
Atalante
phan - this really isn't being funny, but what do you like about Palin? It would be nice to hear from someone who likes her. We don't get much good about her over here
12:00 pm
phandmd
Well, I really like that she shoots straight from the hip. She seems to me to be a what you see is what you get kind of person. That having been said, I am not sure she should be VP but not for reasons most people express. and I wont disqualify her because of those reasons.
12:00 pm
rururocks
I thought she shoots straight from the helicopter...
12:01 pm
phandmd
haha. She does that too
12:01 pm
Atalante
yes, I like that about her too
12:02 pm
kje
I'm not really getting anywhere here... 28 left... think I need a break
12:02 pm
rururocks
I am sure she is a capable governor... since many Alaskans love her... but she is definitely not Presidential Material
12:02 pm
transitionguy
ruru, so diplomatic!
12:03 pm
Atalante
I like that she can laugh at herself too, that always takes guts in front of a whole country
12:03 pm
phandmd
Well, she isn't running for president. And I feel much more strongly that Obama is not presidental material
12:03 pm
rururocks
Hilary Clinton is Presidential material
12:03 pm
phandmd
yes, indeed. Did you see her last night?
12:03 pm
transitionguy
lets' all hope hillary is our next secretary of health and human services!!
12:03 pm
Atalante
yes! that was great
12:03 pm
phandmd
I don't like Clinton either, but if I had to chose between her or Obama, I would have preferred her.
12:04 pm
rururocks
Well, she is a baby step away from the presidency and could easily be running the country...so you HAVE to consider that
12:04 pm
Atalante
well, she is in a way. She has to be able to take over as President at a moment's notice
12:04 pm
transitionguy
hey, harp
12:05 pm
phandmd
Yes, I know. But Obama is a much greater threat than Palin is in my opinion
12:05 pm
Atalante
I did like Hillary
12:05 pm
phandmd
but, I know I am in the minority on here, so I don't really want to get into it.
12:05 pm
justafreep
In what way is Obama a threat? That's a serious question, btw.
12:05 pm
Atalante
but thank you for talking a bit about it, phan. its not always easy when you know other ppl don't agree with you!
12:06 pm

Obama has brains and will hire bright people to work in the appropriate areas of expertise
12:06 pm

hmmm... in what way is Ob5 a th6? :-)
12:07 pm
rururocks
I think that Babble is open enough to allow different opinions
12:07 pm
phandmd
Let's just say that Obama wants to take this country in direction far far away from what ideals it was built on. I like what our founding fathers stood for. I don't like where Obama wants to go.
12:07 pm
justafreep
Oh, yes, Atalante. I agree. All conversation hereabouts has been totally civil. If we fight, how will anyone ever learn?
12:07 pm
phandmd
and now I am done, really.
12:07 pm
parsec
Do continue. i'll just adjust my window here. =)
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
justafreep
But can you be specific, Phan? Because I honestly don't see it that way. I hear broad strokes like that, but I could say the same about McCain with that exact same level of proof.
