morning, sprite!

2:00 am

rebelsass

i have big news!

2:00 am

sprite

hiya rebel! Do tell!

2:01 am

rebelsass

i will be closing on my first house in the next week!

2:02 am

sprite

that is awesome! Our rebel, all grown up now :D Congratulations, darling.

2:03 am

rebelsass

thank you, thank you! it's all so exciting! and all so stressful at the same time! in the middle of the semester, after midterms, after spring break, so it'll be a bit on the busy side, but exciting nonetheless.

2:04 am

sprite

yeah lots of stuff happening at the same time, but good stuff! Am very happy for you.

2:05 am

rebelsass

so isn't it any wonder why i can't sleep right now???

2:05 am

sprite

nah, perfectly natural.

2:07 am

rebelsass

oh, and i've got auditions on saturday for the bfa program that i've been trying to get into, and my mom's birthday is on saturday as well...so no shortage of things going on over here in mississippi....

2:08 am

sprite

the boredom must drive you crazy LOL

2:08 am

rebelsass

you can say that again, LOL

2:08 am

sprite

in the mean time, how am I supposed to babble with all my fingers, toes and legs crossed?

2:09 am

rebelsass

i'm not looking forward to packing, but at least i'll be moving into a house that doesn't need ANYTHING done to it. NO painting, no treatments of any kind, no cleaning, NOTHING! it's PERFECT!

2:10 am

sprite

oh wow, that is nothing short of a miracle. So if you take care with packing, marking every box clearly as to content and destined room, your unpacking will be a piece of cake.

2:11 am

rebelsass

the real estate agent bought it to flip it, and it's in a really good neighborhood on a dead end street with a decent back yard, with decently priced, and i'm getting it with a VA home loan, so, i'm really lucky! yeah unpacking should be EASY!

2:12 am

sprite

sounds like a gift from heaven, honey, and no one more deserving than you are. May it be the start of a lifetime of great memories and blessings :)

2:14 am

rebelsass

just need to tape a $20 bill to the inside of the door frame to bring good luck, and put in our 30-day notice in with the apartment complex by tomorrow.

2:14 am

sprite

yay! Good stuff!

2:16 am

rebelsass

just need to carefully plan, and pack a box or two each night from here on out.

2:16 am

sprite

as a very very very experienced mover, I can say that it pays to plan the packing :)

2:19 am

rebelsass

finding a mover is the hard part. can't seem to find one that is willing to call me back. they're illusive at this point.

2:19 am

sprite

so irritating.

2:33 am

3:14 am

Hi Crossy!

Scrabby! :)

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Staying warm?

6:34 am

crosshair

6:34 am

crosshair

Nice*

6:35 am

Scrabbler

After a few days of warm temperatures, winter and snow returned. I would like to XC ski and snowshoe a bit more before mud season.

6:36 am

crosshair

Our trails are hilding up nicely--even with that three day thaw.

6:37 am

crosshair

We had about six feet of base on the trails before the thaw

6:37 am

Scrabbler

We had rain for 3 days so there is ice under a fresh layer of snow. I will wear my microspikes today.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

How is V doing? And your son?

6:38 am

crosshair

Yes, spikes are a just today. We had a touch of rain midday yesterday before things cooled off.

6:39 am

crosshair

She is doing O.K her diabetes is a struggle, but she is a fighter.

6:39 am

crosshair

Our son has left the nest. :)

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear.

6:39 am

crosshair

He is doing well. :)

6:39 am

Scrabbler

That is a big step for him.

6:40 am

crosshair

We fight every day to keep her number under 20

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Many 20 and 30-somethings remain with their parents.

6:40 am

crosshair

She is on metformin and takes a needle once a day.

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Is she able to exercise? Lift weights?

6:47 am

crosshair

Nit really, but we hike the teails--miderately.

6:47 am

crosshair

Trails.

6:47 am

Scrabbler

Nice.

6:49 am

Scrabbler

6:50 am

crosshair

Good. It gets tiredome endkessly correcting when my hands are having a shaky day.

6:51 am

6:53 am

wingding

Scrabbler

Good morning, wingding.

6:54 am

crosshair

Ty, wingding. All part if getting older, I suppose.

6:55 am

Scrabbler

I have it sometimes too. I think it is an "essential tremor."

6:56 am

wingding

you are correct; 'getting older' i learned of a dear friend who passed 1 feb ... only 82 ... daughter told me he did not want to continue the regime of medication .. that's five now since the holidays ... on another note::: "" ut six feet of base on the trails before the thaw "" :) we have sun, 51d, and the bulbs are starting to show

6:57 am

wingding

how would you describe ::: "essential tremor."" new term to me

6:58 am

Scrabbler

So sad, all those losses.

6:58 am

Scrabbler

Google it for the best description.

6:58 am

wingding

well, the other side ... no one is talking about me :)

7:00 am

Scrabbler

Repeated COVID infections are destroying people. COVID dementia is so prevalent.

7:00 am

wingding

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Tell your doc if it worsens.

7:01 am

wingding

Scrabbler

crosshair

My wife likes it--she gets a vibrating back massage. :)

7:39 am

crosshair

My beloved is recovering nicely from surgrey. Thank heavens for our new universal dental coverage!!

7:40 am

crosshair

All our dentists are going to be very busy this year as the program rolls out.

7:45 am

crosshair

Unlike our universal healthcare, the universal dental care has a income threshhold, but it is a nice option if you qualify.

Keep taking more money, services and jobs away from low income workers and there will be another civil war down there. :( News is so confusing atm. He threatens to take stuff away or add trade penaties and he shifts the goalpost at the last second. Hope Trump is still not planning to ax medicaid, medicare, and food stamps. It is like he wants to kill off anyone who does not earn six figues a year. :(

LEO is law enforcement officers

Some of our auto plant spokespeople are predicting a temporary total shutdown if he goes through with his new tarrifs on April second. Hapve ap friend who works for Honda here in Alliston, and he is frantically selling off his big boy toys to get a financial cushion before the market is flooded with them.

1:09 pm

ch1212

I appreciate the levity, crossy. Particularly after watching the meeting between T and Z.

1:09 pm

crosshair

I have yet to see that. :(

1:10 pm

crosshair

Did he threaten to remove all aid unkess he got his minerals?

1:10 pm

ch1212

I suspect it was deliberately set up and staged. He even subtly threatened WWIII.

1:11 pm

wingding

i wonder what's gonna happen to us in the US .. i feel as though we are circling the drain

1:12 pm

ch1212

It is clear he had no intention of helping Ukraine, which would have been odd if he did given the new dealings with Putin. Wingding, I'm afraid of that too.

1:12 pm

crosshair

Up here all 40 million of us have agreed to meet at the border if Trump tries to pull a Putin on us.

1:13 pm

ch1212

Glad there is a plan.

1:13 pm

crosshair

May as well go out in a bkaze of glory that be assimilated.

1:13 pm

crosshair

Damn typos

1:14 pm

wingding

can expect him not to be there, at the border, his hair may get mussed and you'll see how bald he really is

1:16 pm

crosshair

We would rather perish than have him carve us up for our resources. I am sure the Ukraine president feels much the same.

1:17 pm

ch1212

One of my friends who is a staunch supporter of T was shocked when by day 3 he had violated Article I, Article II and the 14th Amendment of our Constitution. He is still stunned, as are so many of us.

1:17 pm

wingding

ukraine stands strong, look how many of it's citizens fight the line against aggression from russia, i doubt that many in the us would muster their asses off the couch to do the same

1:17 pm

crosshair

I am so sorry. You guys are suffering in the middle of all this.

1:18 pm

wingding

well, ch1212, how are those goes to vote next time around ?

1:19 pm

crosshair

Strange things can happen. Msybe we can temporarily make the Ukraine a province. That would stir things up!

1:20 pm

wingding

maybe we can send troops in ... but, they're worried it'll escalate tensions ... like there aren't enough tensions already

1:20 pm

crosshair

Wich in turn would get Ukraine into NATO

1:21 pm

crosshair

By default

Our friend is genuinely heartbroken and feeling betrayed, and I can understand, although to me, the warning signs were always there.

Yeah crossy, but I still think today's meeting was staged -- Trump won't allow cameras in his meetings with Putin, yet made sure they were filming today.

1:22 pm

crosshair

Well, I imagine he does want cameras seeing him kotowing to Putin.

1:23 pm

Does not

i'm alittle old, but, i can still aim .. i don't think the us troops and military generals that are left will allow that to happen .... it'll be the beginning of the end of our democracy when total war breaks out

Holy Moses. I just watched that shit-show of an interview from the Oval Office. Well done to Zelenskyi for keeping his cool. Itâ€™s difficult to figure out who to be more fearful of - Trump or Vance. Both are 100% certifiably mentally unstable.

2:34 pm

NANCY

SOODLE, A disgrace to be sure that our so called president sold out our ally Ukraine. This whole admin. is a bunch of cowards and traitors. I was sick watching iy.

2:34 pm

NANCY

it

2:35 pm

ch1212

Most of the news outlets are only showing the exchange starting with Vance. This tiny url shows 8+ minutes prior to and during. https://tinyurl.com/3nwm25v5

2:42 pm

Soodle

It was definitely choreographed & stage managed. But nobody told Zelenskyi. I really admire him. He (barely) kept his cool. I have written to all my public representatives, registering my total opposition to our Prime Minister making his traditional visit to Washington on St Patricks Day.

2:43 pm

Shirlockc

can you all summarize? I think it'd make me nauseous if I did watch it myself.

2:46 pm

ch1212

Trump claimed to want peace between Russia and Ukraine. Zelensky explained that past cease-fire agreements were broken by Putin. Vance interrupts to tell Z how disrespectful he is. Trump agrees. It devolves from there, while Zelensky looks stunned.

2:46 pm

Soodle

Basically Trump said it was all Ukraineâ€™s fault that Russia invaded them. He told Zelenskyi that he holds no cards now, and that he & his country should be grateful to the US for the aid given thus far.

2:46 pm

ch1212

Others who watched it might have a different synopsis.

2:47 pm

Soodle

I concur, Ch1212.

2:49 pm

Soodle

Apparently, Z was asked if he didnâ€™t have a suit, as he was dressed in casual clothing. This was before the interview proper began.

2:49 pm

Shirlockc

i had wondered why they were on this tack previously, saying it's all ukraine's fault, but it's clear that it's about the mineral rights

2:50 pm

fems

2:50 pm

Shirlockc

TBH, i'm surprised Trump hasn't devolve to name calling yet with Z

2:50 pm

Shirlockc

beyond calling him a dictator that is

2:50 pm

ch1212

Soodle, I didn't know that part. How incredibly disrespectful to ask that question. I agree that it was obviously staged for Putin's benefit.

2:51 pm

Soodle

I think itâ€™s time Europe grew a pair of balls & unite formally in favour of Ukraine.

2:51 pm

Shirlockc

not with the rise of the right over in europe too

The Doomsday Clock is at 89 seconds to midnight, which is the closest it has ever been in the past 78 years of its existence.

2:59 pm

Trump & Vance showed their true colours - Bullies. Zelenskyi came out with his dignity intact. (Small comfort as that Doomsday Clock ticks on).

3:02 pm

I need to bow out of the conversation and go meditate and re-center. I'll bbl to finish.

Great job VP Vance and President Trump - Zelenskyy's opportunistic clown act blew up in his craven face. Come back when you learn how to respect this country and its leadership.

3:52 pm

Let me know when you volunteer to fight in Ukraine and then we will talk.

3:54 pm

Back for a few more. :)

3:56 pm

graelywa

you don't deserve to be talked to by anyone with a conscience. you care about nothing but yourself and others that think exactly like you. Pull your head out of you ass and look at the damn world. Musk is a nazi, Trump is his puppet, and Putin is laughing his damn head off, waiting for both of them to hand the us over to him.

3:58 pm

KnightTime

And yet you are talking to me and seem to know a lot about me without ever meeting me. I'm impressed.

3:58 pm

graelywa

I have no pronouns, adverbs, nouns, verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
However, I do have a set of moral convictions by which I live and act.

I also have a BS and an MS paid for by me working hard instead of depending on others to pay my bills. And no, I was not born into financial privilege. And yes, I am proud of this.

Get over yourself - We had to put up with a senile, ill-tempered, joke of a President for 4 years. We also had to put up with a do nothing, cackling, moron of a Vice President.

Now it's your turn to put up with a real President. Here is hoping he completely dismantles the deep state and the unnecessary, unAmerican bureaucratic mess with which we are encumbered. Cut, baby, Cut.
Drill, baby, Drill!!!

3:58 pm

despicable

3:59 pm

And you have nothing in your profile. Very brave.

4:07 pm

Trudeau is a piece of work, but I will give him and his team credit for all the free trade deals we are getting with other countries.

4:08 pm

graelywa

it will hurt those countries he puts tariffs on for sure. i wish i knew what made him tick other than his ego that cant accept being anything less than the most important person in the world. he is destroying everything the country stands for and has worked for.

4:08 pm

crosshair

We are learing that putting all of our trade eggs in one basket was uneise.

4:08 pm

graelywa

i hope you all bounce back quickly from his poor decisions

4:09 pm

Unwise.

4:10 pm

I hope you are not too badly hurt once the tarrif charge is passed along. It is going to be tough for many Americans.

it currently doesnt hurt too bad, but it does hurt. hoping that it doesnt get much worse.

4:12 pm

Our number crunchers say we will go into a recession for a few years, but we will come out stronger on the other side. We will work on our infrastructure for the new trade deal.

But is Vance any better. By looking at him I think Putin would eat him in two bites.

I look out over this field of snow and dream of a strawberry festival someplace warm.

In early summer our field strawberries are in such high demand, then suddenly you have a week, maybe two to buy some, then they are gone.
