8:18 am

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos!

8:18 am

BzznBea

Morning, judi.

8:22 am

MollyL

*Lives under a rock* I would have had no clue about the plane crash thing.

8:22 am

BzznBea

Me either...

8:22 am

MollyL

I did get it from your clue Bea. : D

8:23 am

hokie carla

have you heard of the singer?

8:23 am

BzznBea

I don't listen to pop music.

8:23 am

marksdolly

me neither

8:24 am

Judi

I would argue that one could "defur" an animal. If not, PETA would be out of work.

8:24 am

BzznBea

What do you listen to, dolly?

8:25 am

hokie carla

Molly, have you heard from cosdem lately? haven't seen him here forever. he always got my pop culture things. :D

8:25 am

origami

My idea of Hell involves pop music

8:26 am

NatashaW

I think my last pop music album was Cream in the early 70s

8:26 am

NatashaW

not sure that's pop actually

8:26 am

origami

Cos's computer isn't working

8:26 am

BzznBea

I wouldn't consider it pop, Natasha.

8:26 am

NatashaW

Lol Origami

8:26 am

hokie carla

bea, your clue threw me because you said first name of prizefighter. my first thought was MA, but I was like no, it must be somebody else.

8:27 am

origami

I don't think of Cream as pop. I think of pop as that awful techno music

8:27 am

hokie carla

thanks, origami

8:28 am

NatashaW

I am an anachronism, stuck on the 3 Bs (Bach, Beethoven, Brahms) plus Mahler and Bruckner

8:28 am

hokie carla

I don't think techno is really pop music. and I am not a fan either.

8:28 am

Judi

Techno is so Euro disco.

8:29 am

hokie carla

Cream might have been pop music back in its day, but I'd say more rock.

8:29 am

Judi

Well, wasn't Eric Clapton in Cream?

8:30 am

NatashaW

yes

8:30 am

doseffing

... and ginger Baker and Jackie Bruce

8:30 am

BzznBea

He was, judi.

8:30 am

doseffing

... and they broke up in '68

8:31 am

Judi

Eric escaped the "pop" moniker and fled to ROCK.

8:32 am

origami

I mean like Justin Bieber, etc

8:33 am

hokie carla

the Biebs is definitely pop

8:34 am

hokie carla

I guess techno is called techno pop, but I don't think of it as regular pop music

8:35 am

origami

It's all awful to me :D

8:36 am

IndiaJan

pop music is my dirty little secret...

8:36 am

hokie carla

also the aforementioned singer who died in a plane crash was probably more R&B than pop.

8:36 am

IndiaJan

pop music is my dirty little secret...

8:36 am

IndiaJan

well its no secret if it gets posted twice.

8:37 am

hokie carla

there is a small number of music genres I don't like. most music I enjoy and will listen to.

8:37 am

Judi

It's courageous of you to out yourself like that, Jan. :-P

8:37 am

Judi

Fe7: war among families + sounds like where cow's mile is processed.

penquis

a company in my town is one of the world's biggest producers of carragenan, a seaweed product. Carrageenan extracted from red seaweed is a thickening agent used in puddings, chocolate milk, chewing gum, jams and jellies. Algin or alginates from brown seaweed and agar from red seaweed are widely used in bakery products, candies, dairy products, salad dressings, ice creams and creams and jellies, as well as in processing meats, sausages and fish and in clarifying beers and wines.

10:52 am

10:53 am

cybernan

10:53 am

MLFAN17

deeha its 66 but I think you can go longer then that

10:54 am

scrambler

62 is earliest but they then you get much less for every year under 67, they cut your payment, by every month short of the year by a certain amount of money / month

10:54 am

mixi6

social security can be started anytime between 62 and 70. I am pretty sure she didn't start her savings until she was in her 50's.

10:55 am

10:57 am

Deeha
