hiya seain!
1:04 am
dcseain
I got pneumonia vaccine on Thursday. Today, Saturday, was first day I had energy again. Friday was powered by 10 cups of coffee and a Pepsi it left me so tired.
1:04 am
sprite
we have come very close to an gerund grid a few times lately
1:04 am
sprite
good for you for taking it though. Getting pneumonia is even more tiring
1:05 am
dcseain
exactly. Yay Vaccines. I've gotten a lot of them, beyond the Covid ones, in the last several years.
1:27 am
grannyrose
cooee and g'day sprite and dcseain
1:27 am
sprite
*hugs rose* hi darling, how are you holding up in the heat?
1:28 am
grannyrose
* hugs * sprite. * hugs * dcseain
1:28 am
dcseain
hiya, rose :)
1:28 am
grannyrose
ugh. it's absolutely ghastly. 38C today, Monday AND Tuesday. i looove my A/C.
1:29 am
sprite
we have temps below zero atm, a nice white frost over everything
1:29 am
grannyrose
seain, did I see that you had moved recently? how are you and the fur babies settling in?
1:30 am
grannyrose
and sprite? i am hoping you had a better night.
1:31 am
grannyrose
sprite, pack up that frost in the freezer, and please send me some.
1:31 am
sprite
slightly. My hips were killing me yesterday, could hardly walk. But a little bit better this morning.
1:31 am
dcseain
fine. another move is in the offing.
1:32 am
dcseain
this is temporary. Did did find we have a new polycarbonate Driver License here in Virginia, no fonts, new colors, now clear bits.
1:32 am
grannyrose
my lower back was really nasty this morning. i don't think i had enough time resting my back overnight.
1:33 am
sprite
*hugs rose*
1:33 am
grannyrose
seain, so not a lot of unpacking happening then.
1:33 am
dcseain
correct, and most of my stuff is in storage.
1:33 am
grannyrose
telling off the Big Guy. Hey you up there. no more sore hips for my beloved sprite.
1:34 am
grannyrose

1:35 am

1:35 am
grannyrose
seain, so from here to where? have you found somewhere nice?

Hi all. May I have stats, please, for the i (eye) in the lower left corner?

Found it
7:09 am
MollyL
Well, the groundhog says six more weeks of winter. But since he is only right 30% of the time, I am still rooting for an early Spring.
7:40 am
crosshair
Well, looks like it starts on Tuesday. Going to have to switch to a nice Canadian whiskey after all the U.S whiskey gets pulled from the shelves. :/
8:01 am
MollyL
US whiskey is crap. So is Canadian. Jameson rules.
8:17 am
rururocks
oh .. you are so wrong there Molly...Some Jameson bottlings are pretty good. but Middleton Irish Whiskey is a step up
8:19 am
rururocks
but really it's a matter of taste and you aren't wrong for yourself
8:25 am
rururocks
oh.. I'm talking to myself again
8:25 am
rururocks
easy grid today have a good day everyone
8:29 am
MollyL
Oh I know there are finer and better whiskey's than Jameson. They are also more expensive, so out of my reach.
8:32 am
MollyL
Middleton is insanely expensive.
8:45 am
rururocks
there are a couple jameson bottlings that are getting very pricey too though.. Middleton is stupidly expensive I agree
8:54 am
MollyL
Most good brands have their higher priced labels. Johnnie Walker, for example.
9:01 am
rururocks
I bought an expensive Middleton a few years back for a good friend's birthday. that son of a B drank it in two weeks
9:02 am
MollyL
Wow, I would have to worship it for at least two weeks before I drank it.
9:02 am
rururocks
LOL exactly
9:03 am
MollyL
Maybe just smell it for another week.
9:03 am
rururocks
this guy is Irish and he can put them away and not get drunk.. he's amazing
9:04 am
MollyL
Really, if someone was generous enough to give me a bottle that expensive I would save it for a special occasion. You have mentioned your Marion Ravenwood friend before.
9:07 am
rururocks
he's really a character... in his fifties dating 27 year olds, drinks like you've never seen before and is totally normal. he's a pretty successful guy.. I couldn't live like that though
9:08 am
MollyL
Oh yes you could and love every minute of it.
9:08 am
rururocks
no.. not that young jeezus
9:09 am
rururocks
I mean.. what would you talk about ? Taylor Swift?
9:10 am
MollyL
I don't think there is a lot of talking in those kind of relationships
9:10 am
rururocks
you're probably right there
9:11 am
MollyL
It's the barter system. Expensive stuff for sexual favors.
9:11 am
rururocks
I'd prefer to be with someone closer to my age
9:12 am
rururocks
actually at this point in my life, I'm happy enough living alone too
9:12 am
MollyL
The problem there is that most men don't find women over 30 attractive.
9:13 am
rururocks
I've met some beautiful women in their sixties
9:14 am
rururocks
but they're all a lot like me.. not really wanting to invest in a relationship again and choosing to live life how they want.
9:16 am
MollyL
I think a lot of people in their 50's and 60's are fine with casual dating and nothing more. For the reasons you just stated.
9:17 am
hokie carla
yeah, no way would I date again. howdy, folks!
9:18 am
rururocks
oh I'd be in for casual dating and taking trips together :D
9:20 am
MollyL
***Ties fingers together
9:21 am
rururocks
FWB kind of thing
9:22 am
hokie carla
for once I am stumped. are you just making up acronyms?
9:24 am
hokie carla
is this where I complain about everyone rudely ignoring me? 😜🤣
9:24 am
MollyL
There is a single guy in my office who is like Mr. Lonely Hearts. Always moaning about how he's tired of going places alone. I would love to tell him if he wasn't such an asshole he might get a date, but I don't.
9:24 am
rururocks
sorry went to get coffee hookie sorry
9:25 am
MollyL
Hookie? Hilarious.
9:25 am
rururocks
you don't know FWB?
9:25 am
hokie carla
oh, I googled it
9:26 am
hokie carla
never seen it as an acronym
9:26 am
rururocks
someone posted hookie a few weeks ago and I've been using it ever since :D
9:26 am
MollyL
*Faints that Carla doesn't know an acronym
9:26 am
hokie carla
*faints that ruru does
9:27 am
rururocks
well maybe a couple...
9:27 am
MollyL
There is an old movie where a kid calls his sister Hookie. Short for hooker.
9:28 am

It has not been a good week for air safety. First that awful crash here (body parts are still washing up on the banks of the Potomac River, ugh) and now that air medic plane crash in Philadelphia.
9:54 am
mkg
Lets pray that it is over now.
9:58 am
hurshy
so awful, a little girl, just having received treatment, then her medical plane crashes!
9:59 am
mkg
cant find the bottom corner i word. Ugh. Any help welcome. It is not the greek letter.
9:59 am
hurshy
meanwhile i am VERY disturbed to have heard that the proud boys are apparently leaving recruiting letters on people's lawns (??) in MY TOWN
10:00 am
mkg
Where do you live hurshy?
10:00 am
hurshy
in a town where i generally never hear anyone even talking about politics in the northeast
10:01 am
hurshy
except local politics and how they don't want to pay more property taxes even if that means nobody will come when their house is on fire
10:01 am
hurshy
because "that's so unlikly"
10:01 am
mkg
In the northeast? In new england? I am from connecticut.
10:01 am
hurshy
yes, in new england
10:02 am
mkg
Love new england.
10:07 am
wingding
hurshy, the medic jet crash is 20mins from my home, the area it crashed is very populated, all row homes .. we were near it yesterday for hockey ... the scary concern is ppl p/u jet parts for souveniors .... the air strip it left from is in a industrial area 3.5mi from the crash ... there's never been an accident that i know of like this ..
10:08 am
hurshy
well i heard the plane itself was pretty old, so, it could just be, you know, not super surprising if something goes wrong with old stuff i guess :(
10:09 am
hurshy
it sounds like it's pretty lucky there weren't more deaths on the ground than there were, given the populated-ness of the area
10:09 am
hurshy
are you feeling traumatized by it wingding?
10:11 am
hurshy
i saw a news interview with a guy who witnessed it, who is from Ukraine, so like, his instant unconscious reaction was like that it was a rocket attack, poor fellow :(
10:16 am
wingding
not too scared, but, as far as jets age, lear 55, any plane that flys, it subjected to extensive maintenance on a periodic basis .... it had to be a malfunction of something electronic or ???? the way it nose dived, i think the flaps were pitched down for some reason, on take off, they are out and down, to gain height, it would of been too early to trim them for flight, only in air 3.5m .. they need the black box to determine the cause, not pilot error
10:17 am
hurshy
but they said the black box could be damaged bc of the severity of the impact
10:20 am
wingding
yes, that's true, but, at least there will be pieces .. none found yet, they take off about 160/180mph .... when it went down was likely doing 220mph ... that was a big hole in the ground, i was worried about the jet fuel spreading and burning everything ... back to cooking, just came on to get a recipe for a dry rub on pork ... ttfn
10:20 am
MollyL
What is ppl p/u?
10:22 am
hurshy
people pick up
10:22 am
wingding
people in the area, that would be picking up parts of the jet ... to do an extensive reconstruction of a crash site, they look at everything in its place, and the condition of the part .. and work backwards from there
10:23 am
wingding
when it happens in a field, it's no big deal, in an area like northeast phily, there's hundreds that are in walking distance of the crash site .. a friends brother was driving on the blvd when it happened
10:25 am
MollyL
What kind of morbid person would want a piece of a crashed plane as a souvenir?
10:27 am
hurshy
i suppose it makes them feel some kind of sense of importance
10:27 am
Kaplan the Magne
The same kind who wanted Japanese skulls during WWII?
10:27 am
hurshy
to be somehow connected to a significant event
10:28 am
hurshy
SKULLS? i've often heard of british soldiers taking german pistols home as souvenirs from the world wars but i hadn't heard anybody wanted skulls
10:30 am
MollyL
Importance? To have a piece of a plane that people died on? That is sick.
