m9f9l

Someone called my husband that while he was managing an IHOP. It was the first time he'd heard it, and he just started laughing and asked "what did you call me?" "You heard me cracker!" So he said "that's real smart insulting the guy who's going to bring out your food..."

Freezing in the 50's? You must be very cold blooded. I am loving these cool temperatures.

I am sometimes cold when the temp is 70

7:26 am

periwinkle

7:26 am

My phone, Alexa (we renamed it Ziggy) and my computer never agree on the temperature.

I thought Wordle was tough today. Took me 5.

8:43 am

mael

lucky second guess so I got it in 3

8:44 am

mael

but if I'd gone with my first instinct I would have been in the weeds

8:46 am

MollyL

That is the thing about that game. It's more about luck than skill or intellect.

9:02 am

mael

it's both, I think

9:44 am

hurshy

i agree with molly. it's more luck than a good word game SHOULD be

10:17 am

rururocks

10:19 am

MollyL

Seriously? She gets it for Hoky?

10:19 am

rururocks

10:24 am

MollyL

She must be resting up. It is almost time for the all afternoon Moolingwa and Carla show.

10:25 am

origami

Maybe the rules committee will let me have it for "Ori" in the future.

10:29 am

MollyL

I'll vote for that (since we now, magically, have a rules committee)

10:29 am

MollyL

We have Ori a lot and yet Ru has never thought of giving you the tiara for that. Hmm.

10:30 am

origami

<--- votes for Molly as chair of the committee

10:50 am

rururocks

HEY

10:50 am

rururocks

rururocks

I cannot stand those self absorbed twits. I have no idea what makes them famous

11:56 am

HarryHood

11:56 am

rururocks

oh man.. that's pretty funny harry

11:57 am

HarryHood

I mean of course their father being in the OJ trial and their other father figure being on a wheaties box.
