5:06 am
rbud
ah, thanks so much got it! (should have had it, had the singular!)

It's not going to get any better. Southwest is laying off a lot of workers.
9:01 am
MollyL
What with that and all the firing Trump is doing, unemployment is going to skyrocket
9:02 am
BzznBea
Not tRump. His DOG.
9:02 am
MollyL
Whatever, it has a very negative effect on the economy
9:04 am

Trump's fault for everything that happens in the world I guess
9:08 am
jeepers
when in doubt, blame Trump. :(
9:10 am
MollyL
No it is not his fault for everything bad that happens. But he is at fault for a lot of the bad things that are going on right now. I feel terrible for all the people who are losing their jobs.
9:12 am
72 Temple Owl
wondering about the terms of these firings. the feds have mandated lots of terms for these things, and wondering if they are following their own guidance. the burden will be on the states for unemploymen benefits.
9:12 am
rururocks
especially near where you are molly.. it's a lot of federal workers losing their jobs
9:12 am
MollyL
And it has a very negative effect on the economy when a lot of people are out of work
9:13 am
72 Temple Owl
in other words, the porvate sector would not be able to get away with sudden terminations. many states have rules about this as well.
9:14 am
MollyL
I thought the burden was always on the States. In my State, you collect unemployment from the State.
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
yes it is.
9:15 am
72 Temple Owl
guess i need to take a refresher expository writing class.

I am sorry they are losing their job, it is the fault of whoever set a bloated budget to hire and hire until out of control. I am tired of my taxpayer dollars going for wasteful and unnecessary spending.

12:34 pm
moolingwa

12:34 pm
hurshy
i have 4 re7 from there, 3 plural and one singular
12:34 pm
penquis
i think i have those...
12:35 pm
moolingwa
think I only have 3 re7 off that
12:35 pm
hurshy
you have to have 4 if you have them all
12:35 pm
hurshy
because i haven't done any of the Rs from the other two R tiles yet
12:36 pm
moolingwa
well I'm looking at them, and I have at least two off other r's
12:36 pm
hokie carla
well, if they can be made from either, they are from the top one
12:36 pm
moolingwa
actually 4 off other r's
12:36 pm
hurshy
i'm just saying, i have 4 re7 and my other R tiles say ZERO
12:36 pm
moolingwa
so yeah, only 3 off the top r
12:36 pm
penquis
there aren't 5?....
12:37 pm
moolingwa
oh nm, missed one
12:37 pm
moolingwa
4 off the top
12:37 pm
hokie carla
I have 3 re7 from top
12:37 pm
hurshy
look, there's re-bird-home plural, the act of something being like refreshed/regenerated, babblet plural, and re-examination-s
12:37 pm
hokie carla
so one of my R's is a 7 then
12:37 pm
penquis
perhaps four....
12:38 pm
moolingwa
still missing one r on the bottom, so a chance to make it 8 re7s :)
12:38 pm
hokie carla
oh, the exam words were my missing 2!
12:38 pm
hurshy
the trouble with re is that there are so many plausible things i try that don't work so it feels harder
12:38 pm
hokie carla
I still need 3 + 4 R on the lower
12:38 pm
moolingwa

moolingwa
assuming you already have the dumb 9

moolingwa
otherwise mostly regular words, and regular babbles
2:51 pm

hokie carla

when peri asked for the one before the other 2, it got me trying dumb things

2:54 pm
moolingwa
sounds like they don't get to, unless they do it together :)
2:55 pm
moolingwa
or perhaps one is parasitic and gets it from the other :)
2:55 pm
moolingwa
or maybe it's a role that has to be shared between 2 or more :)
2:55 pm
moolingwa
so many questions
2:56 pm
hurshy
i already answered it

3:00 pm
moolingwa
what you mean in the present? or in the past
3:00 pm
hurshy
i mean i guess if you're being really philosophical or poetic...
3:00 pm
moolingwa
maybe you could combine it with the co9
3:00 pm
moolingwa
I mean it might be hard for them to reference specific moments in time
3:00 pm
moolingwa
seeing as they're timeless
3:00 pm
moolingwa
ah, found my last t

4:31 pm
hokie carla
I was a sub in two different groups back in charlotte. a couple of my new neighbors here just started this group last summer and I was surprised at the number of ladies who'd never played or heard of it. I thought it was everywhere.
4:33 pm
ChampFit
It was popular when the kids were little. A fun night out for moms once a month.
4:36 pm
hokie carla
yeah, and wine is involved
