je7 - another word with no definition??

6:02 am

Uneaixoise

Clue please?

6:04 am

Uneaixoise

Nm!!

6:10 am

MollyL

je7 definition: In the army of India, a native officer next in rank to a subadar, or captain of a, company of Sepoys

6:10 am

MollyL

Not a word you would be familiar with unless you like to hang out in bars in India and pick up soldiers
: D

6:17 am

bichon

ty Molly, had to deeply google that word

6:22 am

MollyL

Deeply Google, I don't think I have heard that one before
: D

6:23 am

BzznBea

I was thinking the same thing.

6:23 am

bichon

A Bichon original

6:23 am

MollyL

The deep end of the Google pool. Where you need your floaties.

6:24 am

MollyL

Or a noodle, which would be a Google Noodle

6:26 am

MollyL

It has been humid as hell here for days. I have been (as Harper Lee would say) like a soft teacake with frosting of sweat and sweet talcum.

6:28 am

BzznBea

Same here. My momma has a hard time breathing when it is this humid.

6:31 am

MollyL

And trying to breathe with a damn mask on? Forget it.

6:32 am

M3

Yea, Molly, Im ashmatic it makes it impossible for me to use one.

6:32 am

MollyL

Can you tell I'm getting sick of the whole mask thing?

6:34 am

M3

On doctor in Scotland said they do moer harm then good as your breathing in your own air, and if your infected this is worse! he then said if you have any breathing problems you should not wear one.

6:47 am

dan2bit

but if you don't know anything about the immune system of the people you get close to, a mask is better than no mask

7:08 am

MollyL

I wonder what the end game is. Are we wearing masks from now on? Does the mask wearing stop when there is a vaccine? When the number go down significantly?

7:08 am

MollyL

I have noticed that while the mask wearing continues, many people have stopped wearing latex gloves.

7:10 am

sukee

Pretty sure once there is a vaccine we can stop wearing masks.

7:10 am

BzznBea

I'm not wearing gloves anymore. But I do carry clorox wipes in my hand while I'm grocery shopping.

7:11 am

sukee

Medical people have been wearing masks for years and do not get sick because of it. When we wear mask we probably wear them for an hour at the very most, they wear them for hours on end.

7:11 am

BzznBea

I think the mask wearing end would depend on where you live and the number of cases in that area.

7:15 am

sukee

Now mask are becoming another fashion statement :)

7:15 am

sukee

Masks.

7:15 am

dan2bit

I think we will continue to see them for a long time, particularly if big crowded events come back. Not mandated, but accepted

7:16 am

sukee

Yes, like in Asian countries. They have been wearing them for years because of the weather.

7:16 am

sukee

The air I mean.

7:17 am

roncook

I do have a chuckle at persons driving their car wearing gloves & a mask,and now the celebs with their designer masks from the italian designers for seroius amount of wedge.

7:19 am

sukee

In my case, if I drove, I would have to put my mask on in my apartment, on the way to the car would touch some surfaces and would not want to touch my mask if I did not have access to any sanitizer.

7:19 am

sukee

But everyone says gloves are a no no.

7:21 am

roncook

And i though you guys in Canada were facing up to it, in Vancouver the bars are open i don`t see anyone drinking beer through a mask...Yet.!!

7:21 am

sukee

Well, you will take it off to eat and drink obviously.

7:21 am

dan2bit

gloves are easily over-used. Unless you have lots of disposable ones, and you actually dispose of them between tasks, you're not actually doing much protecting

7:22 am

sukee

Anyway, I am not going to any bars or restaurants in the next couple of weeks or months.

7:22 am

sukee

Then again, that is not much different than my life before :)

7:22 am

roncook

The new litter is now masks and gloves,replacing plastic and fast food containers.

7:23 am

dan2bit

lol sukee

7:23 am

sukee

I have a reusable mask. I also have two currently in the mail.

7:24 am

sukee

But lately I get my groceries delivered, I get food delivered, I get prescriptions delivered. I really don't even have to go out.

7:25 am

sukee

I do miss going to the gym and talking to the guys there and having coffee after with other friends. It is attached to a senior's home so I doubt it will be open any time soon.

7:25 am

MollyL

People are not using masks or gloves correctly. You are not supposed to re-use latex gloves, but people are. You are not supposed to reuse disposable masks, but people are. This lessens the effectiveness of germ transmission.

7:27 am

sukee

They just don't pay attention to what the medical people are saying. What gets me is people who don't cover their nose with their mask. I saw a picture of a woman who cut a hole in the mask so she could breathe...

7:31 am

sukee

Anyway, much more pleasant here today. Humidity was up to 92% last night. The heatwave is done for now. Now it will be 3C overnight :)

7:32 am

MollyL

The strangest thing I have seen is people in the grocery store, with little kids. The adults are wearing masks. The kids are not.

7:34 am

sukee

I can imagine it would be hard to ensure they don't touch them and pull them off. Best to not take the kids shopping :)

7:35 am

sukee

They do say kids under 3 don't need to wear them.

7:35 am

bichon

that seems strange sukee

7:37 am

sukee

Well, that is what our head medical officer said, same with people who can't remove the mask by themselves.

7:37 am

bichon

googled it. It says under 2

7:38 am

sukee

Okay, I thought it covered 2 years olds.

7:39 am

bichon

It's difficult if you have to go grocery shopping and don't have anyone to watch your baby

7:39 am

sukee

This heat wave had me paranoid yesterday. With the heat and the humidity everything was aching and I felt sick. But, fine today and my temperature is at its usual.

7:39 am

sukee

That is true.

7:41 am

sukee

I want Jedi to be acceptable :)

7:41 am

bichon

Heat waves in late May, early June, don't usually last very long

7:42 am

sukee

It is gone now, getting hot again next weekend.

8:46 am

MLFAN17

cyber i wish i had the word too

8:47 am

BzznBea

FW here...

8:47 am

hokie carla

why do you want a clue, I thought you were the one that finished the F's with an unlikely plural, nan?

8:47 am

hokie carla

well done, bea

8:48 am

cybernan

I'm looking for the je 7, carla

8:48 am

BzznBea

Thanks, Carla.

8:48 am

hokie carla

I still have 97 left but have just gone through the top row

8:48 am

hokie carla

ok, I don't have that, not sure why you asked me to clue it then

8:49 am

MLFAN17

was it for the f word/

8:50 am

cybernan

I was asking for a je 7 clue not an f 5 clue

8:50 am

MLFAN17

i knew that:)

8:51 am

cybernan

I thought you said you had one left and already had the je

8:51 am

hokie carla

no, I had one f left and you said your last one was an unlikely plural, so I was trying to finish the f but I already had that word

8:52 am

hokie carla

I also said I don't have je7 because I'd only just begun

8:53 am

hokie carla

and I looked and couldn't find it, and then bea said it was a foreign word so I laughed and moved on

8:53 am

cybernan

that was before - you will see if you go back and look at the chat -- however it was just a miscommunication, so not to worry

8:55 am

cybernan

yeah - me too - an indian army rank? give me a break!

8:56 am

MLFAN17

i still don't know that word

8:56 am

BzznBea

72 Temple Owl

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

do you ever lose things and just sit there and scratch your head? :/

10:29 am

hokie carla

yep, but not as much as my husband

10:30 am

hokie carla

he will ask me every single time without looking first which is really annoying when the item in question is literally right in front of his face.

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

they are my house shoes. i am just stumped.

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

nice friendly grid, though

10:31 am

hokie carla

yeah, seems like those would be in a regular place

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

time to get going. listening to new michael doucet band project, not inclined to move yet.

10:33 am

hokie carla

trying to cool down here. was overdressed for my walk. we have air you can wear right now

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

i have to lay out new plants for my garde, then fix soil and plant.

10:34 am

hokie carla

I bought 4 new ones the other day I need to get planted

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh, it was like that here yesterday. walked a few miles, tookan hour then mowed. i was drenched. pout air on.

10:34 am

hokie carla

also need to bathe the dog since he rolled in mud on the walk

10:34 am

MollyL

Carla, you need to learn to speak y-chromo. Have you seen my ____? Means can you find it for me. Where is the iron? Means, can you iron this for me. Etc.

10:34 am

hokie carla

truth

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i bought 8 cut and come again zinnias, parsley, greek oregano. basil, three tomato plants, and a small hosts. plus someone left out iris i picked up on my AM walk

10:36 am

MollyL

And never, ever...unless you have a hundred or two extra dollars, take them to the grocery store with you.

10:36 am

hokie carla

I bought a zucchini, yellow squash, banana pepper, and sweet red pepper

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

hosta.

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i regret not trying a cucumber. never tired to grow it.

10:37 am

hokie carla

I planted tomatoes back in march and had 3 volunteer plants come up and the ones I bought have now outgrown their cages. they are getting out of control with all this rain.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

and out of the 30 white mairgold seeds i planted, 7 germinated.

10:37 am

MollyL

I grew cucumbers one year. Got so many I made pickles.

10:37 am

hokie carla

I did a cucumber once. I don't like to eat them though.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

wow, carla, where are you again?

10:37 am

MollyL

I am not a big cucumber fan either.

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

cukes. love them. do not like tomatoes except in caprese. perfect hot weather meal = caprese salad

10:38 am

hokie carla

I do love pickles but I don't think I got that many

10:38 am

hokie carla

I am in NC, TO.

10:38 am

MollyL

They have that melon taste and I don't like melon either.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

south? asking because i was surprised you planted them. it's a memorial day thing here.

10:39 am

hokie carla

I love watermelon but don't like honeydew or cantaloupe, so that is probably why I don't like the flavor either.

10:40 am

MollyL

I plant way before Memorial Day. Except this year because it has been so freaking cold in the Spring.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

visited a cajun restaurant where they served a beautifully arranges plated of cuucmber slices with a hot dressing. loved the hot cool combo.

10:41 am

hokie carla

even the volunteers came up end of Mar or beginning of Apr

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

it was not a year to try that up here. less than a week ago my heat was still activated. used the air yesterday.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

at least i remembered to turn the heat OFF this year before turning the air on. :/

10:42 am

hokie carla

we usually plant in Mar and then have to get someone to water for us over spring break, which is always Easter week for us.

10:42 am

MLFAN17

hokie on the news yesterday, was a woman who went from homeless to owning her own business called Glorious Gherkin

10:42 am

hokie carla

:D

10:42 am

MLFAN17

I haven't tried them and am not a pickle person but with these different flavors I am willing to try them If and when I can

10:43 am

MLFAN17

I am not a cucumber person either

10:43 am

hokie carla

I did pickle/can some banana peppers one year when I had a million peppers.

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

ok, not thrilled with lacher prise cd. time to move. later and happy babbling.

10:44 am

MLFAN17

have you done any canning recently?

10:44 am

hokie carla

bye, TO

10:44 am

hokie carla

I have only done it that one time

10:45 am

MLFAN17

my mom used to do it but I guess that didn't last long either

10:45 am

hokie carla

that was probably 2016

10:45 am

MLFAN17

my mom canned when I was growing up

10:45 am

hokie carla

my mom, grandmother, and aunt used to do it all the time. I think my aunt probably still does.

10:46 am

MLFAN17

its a great idea but a lot of work and I was never shown how

10:46 am

hokie carla

I don't have a canner either so I had to do it with a regular pot

10:47 am

MLFAN17

yeah that makes it a bit harder doesn't it?

10:47 am

hokie carla

I think so

10:48 am

MLFAN17

and if you don't label them lol

10:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, I would never not label them

10:49 am

hokie carla

ooh, just grayed 2 tiles

10:49 am

MLFAN17

i would hope that people remember to label them

10:50 am

MollyL

I have never gotten over my fear of pressure cooking, so canning has never been an option for me. I have done a lot of freezing of fresh fruits and vegetables though.

10:50 am

hokie carla

my grandmother had a pressure canner but there are canners that aren't pressure

10:51 am

MLFAN17

my husband has used the pressure cooker but not much. It makes me nervous

10:51 am

hokie carla

I grew up with my mom using her pressure cooker all the time, so even though she didn't really teach me to cook, I guess it made me comfortable around them.

10:51 am

hokie carla

doesn't bother me at all. I have an electric one (the instant pot) but she's always used a stove top one.

10:51 am

MollyL

It is why I never bought into Instapot. The whole pressure cooking thing.

10:52 am

cybernan

I think pressure cookers have been supplanted by sous-vides

10:52 am

hokie carla

too french for me. no idea.

10:53 am

cybernan

or maybe even crock pots

10:53 am

cybernan

I think you spell it souvee in the states

10:53 am

hokie carla

well the IP is a pressure cooker and slow cooker

10:53 am

MLFAN17

its interesting but being around something like that is a but unnerving. then again, people grew up with popcorn poppers and survived or were not injured!

10:54 am

hokie carla

I thought sous-vide was a style of cooking, not an appliance

10:54 am

origami

Good morning

10:56 am

MLFAN17

good morning origami!

if you want to hear about a kitchen explosion not involving pressure cookers...one time at Easter dinner at my aunt's she had a stove eye (you may call it burner) on and didn't know and put a 9"x13" pyrex on it when setting up the buffet. after a while it exploded and tiny cubes of glass few everywhere. no one was hurt though.

hokie carla

I have ar7, de7, je7, ou7, ra7, sp7, st7, to7

11:07 am

MLFAN17

jedi should be a word

11:08 am

MLFAN17

hokie does the ar7 begin with body appendage?

11:08 am

doseffing

... agreed ... but I would think that it should be a proper noun though

11:08 am

MLFAN17

probably is dose

11:08 am

hokie carla

I think I tried jedi 2x. cause you know, sith is a word.

11:08 am

hokie carla

is that even the same movies?

11:08 am

hokie carla

no, mlfan

11:08 am

origami

They are in the same movies.

11:09 am

MLFAN17

ty hokie

11:09 am

doseffing

.. yeah ... but it's meaning is entirely different than in the movie

11:09 am

origami

I try jedi every time :D

11:10 am

doseffing

... well let's all try it one more time at the same time and maybe the game will succumb to the force

11:10 am

hokie carla

ha! good idea

11:10 am

hokie carla

you will add this word to the list

11:11 am

doseffing

... no no no ... ya gotta look at it straight in the eye and way your hand just a bit and say "jedi is a word which I accept"

11:11 am

hokie carla

have also tried a certain cu word several times

11:12 am

MLFAN17

hokie i give up pls clue it?

11:12 am

MLFAN17

you mean the bad cu 4 letter word?

11:13 am

phandmd

why is it bad?

11:13 am

hokie carla

ar7 - no definition so can't do context - ar + word that makes something negative + going * the store

11:13 am

MLFAN17

the cu4 is bad language

11:13 am

redshoes

Thanks hokie

11:14 am

MLFAN17

ty hokie

11:14 am

MLFAN17

oh geez and haven't we had that word before??

11:15 am

doseffing

... and with that heroic find I'm off to lunch

11:15 am

hokie carla

I can't even type the cu word because my autocorrect keeps changing it to "sums"

11:16 am

phandmd

weird

11:16 am

origami

I turned the autocorrect off on my computer.

11:17 am

MLFAN17

i got the ra6 from that clue

11:17 am

hokie carla

I turned it off my iPad for the rare times I play this on there. it was literally impossible

11:17 am

MLFAN17

11:18 am

origami

I tried playing on my iPad once. Never again.

11:19 am

doseffing

11:25 am

No rain here yet

11:26 am

i can't take humidity it drains me

11:26 am

rururocks

really ori? it poured here

11:26 am

hokie carla

still so wet here. we have a shady path in the neighborhood in a low-lying area and I almost busted my butt on it this morning.

11:26 am

hokie carla

it's definitely a wet blanket, ru

11:28 am

MollyL

Roger Ra6 sounds like a porno star

11:29 am

hokie carla

molly, your pedi is in the grid

11:30 am

MollyL

Well Carla, I actually spell out the whole word. And my pedicure is still not freaking available. Haircuts are but not manicures and pedicures.

11:31 am

rururocks

OIC

11:32 am

hokie carla

well, I am legit stuck with 20 to go and 7 of those are 4's. I think I have tried every possible 4 on each open tile.

11:32 am

phandmd

Molly, I got a Pedicure last week in Frederick granted it wasn't supposed to happen but it did...

11:34 am

MollyL

Phan, at a salon, or from someone privately?

11:34 am

hokie carla

guess I will work on some other stuff for a while and see if anything shakes loose

11:35 am

origami

OIC?

11:35 am

MollyL

Oh I see

11:36 am

MollyL

It's like gr8 for great and U for you

11:36 am

Ah ... it's talk in code time :D

11:36 am

at a salon. She works out of my hair person's place and the week the Governor said they could open she did despite what Jan Gardner said.

11:38 am

rururocks

i like to tease hokie a bit ori.. she's the queen of acronyms

11:39 am

origami

The salons opened here a couple of days ago, but I don't feel comfortable going to one yet.

11:39 am

origami

Yes, hokie has it down.

11:39 am

rururocks

still waiting for mine to open

11:40 am

MollyL

I feel less comfortable going out in sandals with my toenails bare and in need of grooming.

11:40 am

MollyL

And I freaking HATE wearing shoes. Not to mention socks.

11:40 am

rururocks

shit i look like the geico caveman

11:41 am

origami

Nail salons are still closed here.

11:41 am

origami

I seldom wear sandals. But my hair! It is a disaster.

11:42 am

cybernan

some of ours are open, but with all the regulations a lot of said it isn't worthwhile

11:42 am

MollyL

It is so weird. Someone is inches away from you while cutting your hair. Much further away while doing your nails.

11:44 am

phandmd

my girl has an acrylic shield in place and she bought something to suck in the dust when filing.

11:44 am

cybernan

our estheticians have always worn masks and gloves while doing nails, but now they are only allowed to have every 2nd chair open in order to preserve social distancing. Clients must also wear masks.

11:46 am

cybernan

mu hair is almost long enough now to put up in a banana clip -- think I will just leave it that way until we find out if there is going to be a 2nd wave this fall

11:47 am

rururocks

i'm getting my hair cut as soon as possible

11:47 am

phandmd

There surely will be...

11:48 am

origami

I needed a cut back in February. I look like I have gone feral now.

11:50 am

cybernan

no pony tail ru?

11:50 am

rururocks

not for me.. i'm not the manbun type

11:51 am

origami

No manbuns or crocs for ru

11:52 am

cybernan

hubby is starting to look like kenny rogers -- but hasn't made any noises about getting a cut.

11:52 am

rururocks

or birkenstocks either

11:52 am

origami

Or Star Wars T-shirts

11:52 am

rururocks

that too LOL

11:53 am

rururocks

I saw the first star wars when i lived in Oregon (That was the only thing playing at the theater for a year) and it was pretty awful.. never watched another

11:54 am

origami

What??? I loved the first three Star Wars movies. It was downhill after that.

11:55 am

rururocks

(sends ori a baby yoda t-shirt)

11:55 am

origami

Ha! I'd wear it with my crocs

11:56 am

rururocks

bright orange ones

11:57 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd everyone -- keep safe.

11:57 am

origami

Now, ru, I have better taste than that. I have black ones and olive ones and my favorite pair that are bright red with Mickey Mouse head cutouts instead of the usual circles. Those are my yard crocs.

11:58 am

origami

Bye, nan

11:59 am

rururocks

hmm 20 is as far as I seem to be going with this one

12:04 pm

MollyL

I have never understood the appeal of Crocs. I am always somewhat startled when I see people wearing them.

12:04 pm

rururocks

chefs love them they're comfortable to stand in all night. i can'[t even look at them they're so ugly

12:05 pm

origami

Nurses love them for the same reason. But, I agree, they are ugly. I only wear them out to run to the grocery store.

12:05 pm

MollyL

Then there was the guy I saw the other day wearing shorts, Crocs and sporting a man bun. Dude, BAD LOOK

12:06 pm

rururocks

i wear shorts all the time

12:07 pm

MollyL

Shorts are fine. It was the Crocs/shorts combo with the man bun that was awful

12:08 pm

rururocks

i see these google employees in SF in manbuns and beards and goofy clothes and just privately laugh to myself

12:09 pm

MollyL

And the Crocs were sling backs.

12:13 pm

rururocks

I'm ok with ori wearing them however.... in her yard

12:14 pm

origami

Note to self: be sure to wear crocs at next ru meet-up

12:14 pm

rururocks

yeah then you're buying lunch :D

12:15 pm

MollyL

The Mickey Mouse Crocs sound extra special

12:15 pm

origami

Oh, they are Molly :D

12:17 pm

origami

A friend of mine loves crocs and has these little charms she puts in the holes. It is so strange. She is queer, has a buzz cut and is covered in tattoos and is wearing crocs with little flower ornaments :D

12:18 pm

MollyL

Now that is a look

12:19 pm

hokie carla

I had some mickey mouse croc flip flops at one point

12:19 pm

hokie carla

some of the sandal versions are very comfy and not as ugly as traditional crocs

12:19 pm

origami

See, I told you hokie was with it!

12:20 pm

hokie carla

I'm with you, ru, on the birkenstocks. I think those are the ugliest shoes ever made and I'm actually angry that they are back in now.

12:21 pm

rururocks

origami

Birkenstocks are hideous. But my vote for the ugliest shoe goes to Uggs

12:21 pm

hokie carla

I only need one 7 but don't know what.

12:21 pm

rururocks

uggs are really ugly for sure

12:21 pm

hokie carla

12:22 pm

hokie carla

12:22 pm

rururocks

12:22 pm

origami

12:22 pm

MollyL

Careful Carla. You may be the subject of the next tirade on how unkind it is to make fun of someone's shoes. Fashion prejudiced much? : D

12:22 pm

hokie carla

I spelled out the ar7 earlier but it has since scrolled off

12:23 pm

rururocks

12:23 pm

hokie carla

ar + negative + going * the mall

12:23 pm

12:28 pm

The j7 is a rank in the Indian army. It helps to look over the chat for things like that.

12:28 pm

hokie carla

it's a native officer in the indian army

12:28 pm

marksdolly

it's a plural of the 6 before it

12:29 pm

marksdolly

just keep going to the right of the SE

12:29 pm

hokie carla

I only have se5, so that will help

12:30 pm

marksdolly

the next 3 se's after that all go to the right

12:30 pm

i can't wait until america du5 that jerk, but at the same time I don't care for Biden either

12:32 pm

I am going to be SO GLAD when Trump is no longer President. The Trump hate here is rampant. Good luck with ancient Joe Biden.

12:33 pm

rururocks

i hope he picks a good vp that can run the country

12:33 pm

MollyL

And don't get me wrong, I am no Trump fan.

12:33 pm

hokie carla

do we think Biden will live long enough? my husband is convinced he's dead and they're just doing a Weekend at Bernie's

12:33 pm

hokie carla

so molly, you're saying you know what POS means?

12:33 pm

Not a big Biden fan, but anyone who doesn't want to destroy our country gets my vote.

12:33 pm

MollyL

PIece of shit Carla. That one is old.

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

also point of sale if you're in accounting

12:34 pm

My mother used to say POS.

12:34 pm

rururocks

or the wine biz

12:34 pm

MollyL

There are many ways to destroy this country.

12:35 pm

hokie carla

yes, ru, but isn't it still accounting of the wine biz?

12:35 pm

rururocks

no.. signs on the shelf to promote the sale of the winer

12:35 pm

12:37 pm

hokie carla

just turned on the nasa coverage of the launch today and this astronaut just stole from Spiderman!

12:38 pm

origami

It's not the wealth or arrogance for most people. It's the instability and hatred in his heart.

12:38 pm

hokie carla

can someone tell me the stat for the middle T? just can't manage to find it

12:38 pm

origami

I dream of that day, too, Molly.

12:39 pm

It's really important that Biden chooses a good VP, one that can handle his job on Day One.

12:39 pm

origami

It's to 4/4 hokie.

12:39 pm

MollyL

And the alternative is BIden? Sad.

12:39 pm

rururocks

i agree completely mubner

12:40 pm

Everyone says that about older people running for President. And yet, they all live through their term.

12:40 pm

to4 homie

12:41 pm

well that's a mystery. have tried every possible to4/4 but will try them all again in case I typed wrong.

12:41 pm

Wasn't he supposed to have chosen his running mate by now? I thought he said he would do that by May 15.

12:41 pm

Mubner

He probably forgot to

12:41 pm

rururocks

he's too busy tweeting to the POS

12:41 pm

It had me perplexed for qhite a while.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

I don't have a problem with Hilary but how on earth would they think they could win with her after last time?

12:42 pm

Mubner

I'm thinking Kamala or Amy

12:42 pm

rururocks

Kamala is a possibility

12:43 pm

rururocks

she's a little too far left for me however

12:43 pm

rastapopolous

There was a rumor about Amy too, but now with this hoopla in MN she may be tainted

12:43 pm

origami

I really hope it isn't Hilary. People just don't like her. I'm hoping he picks Amy because I think she could bring in a lot of fence-sitters.

12:44 pm

rururocks

we had a ton of protests here.. this police abuse just keeps repeating itself all over the country for black people.. it's scary

12:44 pm

rastapopolous

Unless the VP pick is Bernie it won't bring in the Berners

12:44 pm

Mubner

How can there be anything "tainted" after Trump and his motley crew...

12:44 pm

rururocks

the berners won't vote for Biden

12:45 pm

origami

I just read he will not name the pick until August 1.

12:45 pm

hokie carla

trump can literally do no wrong in some people's eyes

12:45 pm

hokie carla

so where reasonable people might think he is tainted, nothing taints him

12:45 pm

rururocks

yeah greedy billionaires

12:46 pm

Mubner

he's untaintable

12:46 pm

rastapopolous

Just saying, with Amy looking like she kept that policeman on the force in mpls, she won't be bringing new voters to Biden's ticket.

12:46 pm

origami

His uneducated redneck fans also think he can ddo no wrong.

It is nice to hear people from other countries complain about their government officials, instead of complaining about the American ones.

Ha! I just told my family if they could just say Doug and Bob that'd be great

2:46 pm

hokie carla

they being the people on TV and not my family

2:46 pm

hokie carla

because the kids have no idea who the McKenzie Bros are

2:49 pm

Judi

Oh, the launch went off? I figured the weather would force them to scrub it again. Well hurrah!

2:51 pm

MollyL

*Proud to say that my kids know full well who the McKenzie Brothers are

2:53 pm

hokie carla

they might be a tad older than mine. and honestly while I know who they are I haven't really seen much of their stuff

2:54 pm

Judi

lol. There really wasn't much Bob and Doug stuff beyond their crappy movie.

2:57 pm

hokie carla

well, I haven't seen the movie, have only seen a few of the SCTV skits but I feel like they were in tv commercials (beer maybe?) too. the ads are probably what I am most familiar with as I watched a lot of TV as a kid.

2:59 pm

Judi

The movie was god awful. Might have a cult following in Canada, might not.

2:59 pm

hokie carla

I have heard of people that love it and people that said it was awful.
