6:31 am

rubyfoo

I'm so anxious about the US election that I keep dreaming aabout Trumpfff!!!

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Hello dose

6:32 am

JBV

good morning ruby and doseffing

6:32 am

JBV

ruby, it's a nightmare we all want to wake up from

6:32 am

doseffing

... then you must vote for Hilary ... that's all you can do ... and stop worrying ...

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Hello JBV

6:32 am

doseffing

... unless you want to get active and encourage others to vote

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I never remembr dreams, only those with him....

6:33 am

rubyfoo

No Americans in my village

6:34 am

doseffing

... can you vote in the French election? ... how likely is Le Pen to take the presidency this time? ...

6:34 am

rubyfoo

The closest Italian city to here is in the grid, Aosta.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I don't think she'll win the presidency, but she'll surely be in the next round

6:35 am

rubyfoo

Wheen we first came here, we used to take visitors there for lunch; it is full of Roman ruins

6:38 am

JBV

Ruby, have you ever been to the fortress of Fenestrelle - it's on the Italian side - one of my fantasy places that I dream of visiting

6:38 am

doseffing

... how long a drive is it? ... the drive there itself must be spectacular

6:39 am

rubyfoo

It is 1 1/2 hrs from here, via the Mont Blanc tuinnel

6:39 am

rubyfoo

No, I've never been to Fenestrelle. I'll have to Google it

6:40 am

bichon

Hi ruby, dose, JBV

6:40 am

JBV

hi bichon

6:40 am

rubyfoo

This region is really beaautiful; last week frinds took me to a restaurant at 1700 meters and the view of Mt Blanc was fabulous

6:40 am

rubyfoo

Hi Bichon

6:40 am

doseffing

... morning Bichon

6:41 am

bichon

you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world

6:42 am

doseffing

... maybe next year ruby ... wife wants to return to London which she only saw from Heathrow in her hippie days ... as a Canadian how could I get that close to France without going to Vimy Ridge ... which admittedly is flanders

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Vimy Ridge???

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Yes, Bichon, I'm very lucky

6:46 am

doseffing

... next year is the centenary of the Battle at Vimy Ridge which marks the first time Canadian forces operated independently of the British and the event is often looked on as marking the real date of Canadian independence ... France is going to be crawling with Canadian high school kids next year ... every high school in the country is planning a trip

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I think that Canadian history is unknown to Americans

6:48 am

doseffing

... not to worry ... it's unknown to most Canadians too

6:48 am

rubyfoo

haha

6:48 am

bichon

very true, alas

6:50 am

rubyfoo

May I pls have stats or a clue for the w?

6:50 am

doseffing

... only one I've got is wo4/8

6:50 am

bichon

6:50 am

JBV

two of them

6:50 am

Uneaixoise

6:51 am

Uneaixoise

other is also wo4/8 -- reverse last 2 letters

6:51 am

rubyfoo

ty ty

6:51 am

rubyfoo

bonjour une

6:52 am

Uneaixoise

bonjour! Didn't I see something online about a big hang-gliding competition in Annecy?

6:53 am

rubyfoo

Yes, it was in FB sent by an Australian friend, on my page

6:53 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

6:53 am

rubyfoo

sometimes, errant hndgliders Wind up in the fild across th road from my house

6:54 am

Uneaixoise

wow-- how cool!

6:54 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the bad typing

6:55 am

Uneaixoise

puhleez -- my fingers get klutzier by the day!

6:58 am

rubyfoo

My oncologist/friend came to visit overnight and although she thought I seemed much better than when I first saw her last year, she was very evasive when I asked about my future

6:58 am

bichon

I know you're going to make it ruby

6:58 am

rubyfoo

But she also was very pessimistic about all the right-wing politians, here and there and every place

6:59 am

rubyfoo

xx bichon, I'm certainly fighting

6:59 am

doseffing

... may mean everything ... but more likely means nothing ... they really don't know the answer to that question but everybody always asks ... so they're all evasive

6:59 am

bichon

Same here. There was a poll published on CNN showing the US presidential race at a dead heat. HOw does this happen?

7:00 am

rubyfoo

She was just glad to see that I've regained my lost weight

7:00 am

rubyfoo

Unforttunately, my main news source is CNN and that's probably why I dream of Trump

7:00 am

doseffing

... that is a far better indication of your health than not answering the other question ...

7:01 am

bichon

Can you imagine the future of the US if Trump is elected.

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

Trump will NOT be elected!!

7:02 am

doseffing

... wait for the debate ... if Trump does well then be afraid ... but if Clinton and her team is successful in making him look like the fool that he is then he'll be left with only is most die hard supporters ... in my opinion

7:02 am

rubyfoo

I think Europeans are as worried as we are

7:02 am

bichon

We all say that, but do we know for sure

7:03 am

rubyfoo

Did any of you see the photos of Melania as a "model"? My sister sent me the clippingss

7:03 am

Uneaixoise

yep

7:04 am

bichon

I can always move to Israel, but Mr. Bich wouldn't. And, is it any better?

7:05 am

gramma

Hi. I'm jumping right in on this. Never before has a vice president been as important as in this election. If Trump wins, he'll be assasinated and if Hilary wins, she will be forced to step down. Look at the Veeps and chose.

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

must get going -- transporting 2 sweet pittie rescue girls this morning -- byeee :-)

7:05 am

gramma

l

7:06 am

rubyfoo

wow, gramma, NOW I can be really depressed! LOL

7:06 am

bichon

Why will Hillary be forced to step down?

7:06 am

gramma

Sorry. Just my humble opinion.

7:07 am

doseffing

... health questions ... she's starting to look tired already and she hasn't been elected yet ...

7:08 am

gramma

I'm going to start on this grid. I just happened on as the convo was going and felt an urge to speak my mind. Sorry if I depressed anyone. Back to work on the grid.

7:08 am

bichon

I wouldn't make any predictions, but at least her VP choice is a possible

7:08 am

rubyfoo

and Trump is "the healthiest presidential candidate ever" RIGHT!

7:08 am

doseffing

... oh I doubt that ...

7:08 am

bichon

Who we can't see his income tax returns

7:08 am

rubyfoo

no no gramma, it's nice to hear other voices and opinions

7:10 am

doseffing

... what makes you think he's paid any? ... I wonder if his businesses have lost so much money that he doesn't owe any and that would be bad for his image of being the businessman who can run the country ...

7:10 am

rubyfoo

I think he probably doesn't pay any tax

7:11 am

rubyfoo

The one time he had to settle, years ago, he paid 15 cents on the dollar!

7:11 am

bichon

The definition of "chutzpah", a Hebrew word for nerve. Tell the Mexicans to pay for their own wall.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

I Wonder how you say chutzpah in French.....couilles?

7:13 am

bichon

Somehow in Hebrew is sounds nervier

7:13 am

doseffing

... which of course ignores the fact that for the past two or three years more people have returned to Mexico than have come from there ... does that mean his wall is meant to keep the cheap labour in? ... (note the Canadian spelling)

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I always thought that was Yiddish.

7:13 am

doseffing

... oh well ... half way and other things to do ... sunny skies and luck for all ...

7:14 am

bichon

Probably from Yiddish, but incorporated into Hebrew.

7:14 am

rubyfoo

bye dose, it is always nice to see you

7:15 am

bichon

Actually, it's from Aramaic, which is what Hebrew comes from

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that. Bichon, you are a reliable info source!

7:16 am

crosshair

Wise words, gramma. From what I hear, Hillary has an amazing 'veep" lined up. The real scary thing; however, is not that Trump is running for this office, but that there are actually that many people with the mind-set to support him this far. Whether Trump wins or loses, those "lil, trumps" will still be there...

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I have to get back on the phone. I've been trying to get Fr gov't health insurance since lasst January!

7:16 am

crosshair

My two cents worth. Now back to babble :)

The govt rep we talk with for various things is in the habit of sending out a letter around the 19th of the month or so--whichever Thursday is closest to that date. The problem is that she never works Friday's and by Monday morning, her voice mailbox is full and taking no new messages. All the while, the end of the month looms closer and closer

Help needed with an7,28 please. is it a compound word with the an 4,4 before

against what we breathe

4:48 pm

lynxxx

hi Flosey

4:48 pm

lil*monkey

How could anyone be an7?

4:49 pm

doseffing

... just looked it up ... it's a variation of the spelling of the an6/18 which is an arrow poison .... take the an7 and leave out a vowel

4:49 pm

flosey

hi Lyn and all, just finished! this one seemed slow going

4:50 pm

PMS

Thank you Flosey, that was my last one.

4:50 pm

gosh Lil - now you expect Babble to be sensible as well as smaller

I like things to be logical.

flosey

yvw PMS - btw, is that name really as most know it?

4:53 pm

flosey

sorry, that was unkind, perhaps your initials

4:53 pm

PMS

No! It's just my initials, unfortunately

4:57 pm

lynxxx

I don't think parents consider initials - my brother was teased with "PK chewing gum" right thru primary school...a common chewing gum here in the 50s

4:59 pm

flosey

but twas a rude comment, and yes, parents sometimes don't think ahead

4:59 pm
