10:06 am

hokie carla

ugh, I should just try words that I think they are even if I can't see it in the grid. if there's 2 directions for a word I'm always looking the wrong way.

10:07 am

hokie carla

I don't have re8 or 7 after it yet

10:07 am

11:08 am

MollyL

It is even starting to get weird hearing my adult age

11:08 am

MollyL

kids using phrases like "you rock" and "brutha" because...well...they have outgrown them.

11:08 am

11:43 am

MollyL

It must be hard to deal with the death of a loved one when you are a celebrity. You have the nosy press to deal with on top of the rest of it.

11:44 am

cosdem

especially if the deceased is also a celebrity

11:44 am

cosdem

i felt so badly for the fisher family when debbie and carrie went

11:46 am

MollyL

That was creepy that they died one day apart

11:47 am

rururocks

I'd be happy if the Kardashians started to die off and go away

11:47 am

cosdem

i still dont know why theyre famous other than their daddy was OJs b-rated attorney right at the time of the murders

11:48 am

cosdem

eyah very creepy molly...

11:48 am

cosdem

kinda reminds me of how padme died for no reason when she thought anakin died :P

11:48 am

rururocks

i think the whole reality tv thing is stupid to begin with for all that crap they put on the air

11:49 am

rururocks

carrie fisher was a cool person.. read several of her interviews.. she was a hoot

11:49 am

cosdem

Carrie was one of a kind.

11:49 am

MollyL

I am also clueless as to why the Kardashians are famous and who gives a rat's ass about what they do.

11:50 am

cosdem

“I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.” - Carrie Fisher on her death

11:50 am

rururocks

i concur.. they're awful and creepy too

11:50 am

rururocks

self absorbed narcissistic twits the lot of them

11:50 am

cosdem

and these ridiculous names they keep giving their kids..

11:51 am

cosdem

and Kim I think it was her name met with Trump to discuss policies in the oval office... end of days i tell you :P

11:51 am

cosdem

ok dogs keep staring at me. i better go see what they want

12:10 pm

MollyL

Oh boy, it's official. Over half of all the people I deal with business wise are on vacation next week.

12:35 pm

cosdem

taking a break from cleaning

12:38 pm

gingentle

I see the Kardashians as a symptom of a societal mental illness. Classless, clueless and moronic twats.

12:45 pm

movieman

I concur ginge, and I think you could also include Justin Bieber as well...

12:46 pm

movieman

If I saw him in the street, I would rush over and kick him in his soft parts

12:46 pm

cosdem

it actually started way before the Kardashians.. The Club Kids in NYC in the late 80s and early 90s were famous cause they were rich and weird..i think it all started going downhill with michael alig and that murder

12:46 pm

gingentle

lol. he is a rather talentless pile of budgie turd.

12:49 pm

gingentle

as a society, we fail to instill strong values in our children and we educate them poorly, if at all. The fact that young folk place such high value on talentless trash and that fame is the end-all, be-all is rather disturbing.

12:49 pm

movieman

He's an example of all the youngsters out there being completely brainwashed

12:51 pm

cosdem

we cant even tell our kids to look up to the president anymore.

12:51 pm

gingentle

mmm. my flat smells yummy! I am cooking a hunk-o-beef in my 1940s pressure cooker.

12:52 pm

MLFAN17

cosdem I just read that too. I knew as soon as the induced coma started that it wouldn't be long before her passing unfortunately

12:53 pm

gingentle

Don't get me started on the fat orange hog-in-chief. He and his entire administration is nothing but a foul collection of greedy, corrupt, murderous, moronic assholes.

12:54 pm

cosdem

democrats debate tonight. should be interesting.. although tomorrow's debate has more of the higher profile candidates

12:54 pm

MLFAN17

They are celebrities they can get away with it

12:55 pm

gingentle

all I know is that our white house needs an enema.

12:55 pm

Cos, just noticed your comment about talking about the prez - There's a solution a friend of mine hit on for her students: In short, Distinguish between The Person and The Office: Always respect the office (reiterate the government rests on all the Exec, Judicial, and legis branches, plus) and that the person in the Oval Office is temporary, replaceable and it's up to them to see that they have someone to respect sitting behind the desk.

7:06 pm

MollyL

That would be nice, if people took it to heart. However, we are living in a time of total hatred for the President. Even though he was elected by the majority of the voters.

7:08 pm

cosdem

majority of electoral college voters.

7:08 pm

cosdem

neither leading nominee got a majority of the votes.

7:09 pm

MollyL

Majority of what gets a President elected.

7:11 pm

MollyL

I can't change the way this country votes in a President. That is just the way it happens.

7:13 pm

cosdem

right. according to arachnic rules but rules nonetheless

7:13 pm

cosdem

this grid is ridiculous

7:16 pm

sukee

Your president brings any hate on himself. And I don't see criticism as hate.

7:17 pm

cosdem

which is why i hope people take tonights democratic debate seriously.. 40 minutes to go

7:23 pm

cosdem

aww the dad on ALF died

7:23 pm

sukee

Aww, I remember that show.

7:24 pm

cosdem

grew up watching it... good show. underrated

7:24 pm

sukee

I always got a laugh out of it.

7:25 pm

Thanks, hurshy! Glad we're on the same page. if you want to make yourself even more furious, read the new book by Michael Wolf--Siege.

i'm in a state of being resigned to doom. no matter what happens, i'm pretty sure there is no way the US is going to respond to climate change in time. i feel that our odds of a benevolent takeover by AI who force us to change our ways are better than our odds of accomplishing anything politically.

UK about to get their own version of trump :(

poor richard

Pessimistic, but I don't blame you. Thing is, Trump's election just uncovered the truth about the hatred and racism that was lying somewhat dormant in our country. And the same thing we see here in the US seems to be happening in many parts of Europe too. The world is a dark place these days. But enough. I'll get back to working on Babble.
