MollyL

*People everywhere are wondering why they can't see "ring" in the grid

8:16 am

hokie carla

8:48 am

aslindy

thank you. fw!

8:51 am

Shirlockc

wordle was a toughie for me today, 5. i think it really depends on your starting word. I always use the same one, eventually it'll hit

8:53 am

MollyL

I got Wordle in 4, but I am convinced that game is more about lucky guessing than any actual skill.

8:56 am

Shirlockc

i'd still play it tho

9:10 am

origami

Molly ... I watched Slumberland. Interesting role for him.

9:20 am

rururocks

interesting role for who?

9:23 am

MollyL

Origami, I thought he was great. I loved that movie. Mamoa, Ru.

9:24 am

rururocks

oh ... I should have figured that one out

9:27 am

origami

It was a cute movie. He was great in that role.

9:32 am

mkg

Anyone have a clue for the L word? Ty.

9:38 am

rururocks

he was great or cute in the movie ori?

9:38 am

MollyL

Not one Ru would like. He likes his movies dark and depressing (The Hours)

9:39 am

rururocks

:D fabulous movie

9:39 am

rururocks

Yeah.. I'm not much for cute movies, except pulp fiction :D

9:40 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, that was real cute. Not. Never got the fascination with that one.

9:40 am

origami

He wasn't cute. Yes, you wouldn't like it.

9:40 am

origami

It was a family movie.

9:43 am

MollyL

Adventure/fantasy. Good for kids of all ages. Not good for old grumps.

9:44 am

rururocks

you've read too many Danielle Steele books Molly :D

9:46 am

MollyL

Never read a single one.

9:50 am

MollyL

You, on the other hand, had your childhood squashed way too early, so you are not a fan of adventure/fantasy-type stories.

9:50 am

rururocks

and I'm into adventures and fantasy :D

9:51 am

rururocks

I for one am glad Trump Org was convicted of fraud on all counts.. hopefully it goes further.

9:52 am

rururocks

just reading about that right now

10:15 am

MollyL

*Imagines that while other kids were watching The Wizard of Oz, Ru was reading Mein Kampf

10:16 am

SamanthaJoy

Wtf

10:24 am

rururocks

whoa.. that's a little over the top and I did love wizard of oz as a kid..

10:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Yeah. Normally I just ignore this stuff, but that one was extreme.

10:26 am

rururocks

she was just kidding.. but it was a stretch

10:26 am

MollyL

Okay kids, chill out. I was just joking.

10:27 am

rururocks

I know you were.. ... seems like everyone is jumping on the Ye bandwagon these days :D

10:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Schrodinger's joke

10:31 am

MollyL

One can read Hitler's book and not be in favor of what Hitler did. I could have said Ru was reading Moby Dick, but that would have caused pearl clutching as well.

10:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Sure it would have. They're exactly the same.

10:32 am

MollyL

The conversation up to that point was that Ru is not a fan of fantasy/adventure films. The comment was made in the context of that conversation.

10:32 am

mkg

Dear all,

10:33 am

rururocks

it's ok.. she's just teasing me...

10:33 am

mkg

Dear all, please does anyone have a clue and stat for the L word? Ty

10:33 am

SamanthaJoy

I know the context. Still over the top and unfunny.

10:33 am

penquis

mkg...la 5 ends in two vowels...

10:34 am

SamanthaJoy

LA 5/10

10:34 am

rururocks

yeah.. I get it.. but a lot of my edgy jokes aren't funny sometimes too.

10:34 am

mkg

Ty

10:34 am

penquis

yw...

10:34 am

MollyL

Joking here generally goes straight to hell. I should know better by now.

10:35 am

SamanthaJoy

One of the major differences between your jokes and hers, ru, is that you rarely direct your jokes directly at people.

10:35 am

mkg

Is there a consenent other than the L? Is third letter a cons?

10:36 am

MollyL

Samantha Joy, Ru and I are friends and we joke with and about each other all the time.

10:37 am

mkg

Got L word. Ty

10:37 am

SamanthaJoy

I know who you both are

10:37 am

MollyL

Okay. Wow.

10:38 am
