9:48 am

hokie carla

9:48 am

hurshy

9:49 am

MollyL

Climbing at utility pole in windy weather is dangerous

9:49 am

MollyL

Especially for people of a "certain age"

9:50 am

wingding

yeah, i know, it gusted several times while i was up there, but, verizon wasn't coming till sunday and i've got to work today ... :) certain age ... yes, i thought about that while setting the ladder ...

9:53 am

wingding

i've got a neighbor,but, i've had to drag the monitor, keyboard, mouse, docking station, lap-top, power strip .. i just took a shot at it ... and i'm on VPN ... i'd not be able to connect .. i'll wait till the weather calms before i take the ladder down

10:05 am

hurshy

well of course you wouldn't do it if you thought you'd die, but people do lots of things not thinking they'll die and then they do anyway

10:05 am

hurshy

but, all's well that ends well, in this case

10:07 am

MollyL

No clue what 40'ers are

10:08 am

hurshy

forty foot ladders

10:08 am

MollyL

It never ceases to amaze me what people will go through to get in a days work

10:11 am

hurshy

steve irwin

10:12 am

hurshy

is an example of someone who didn't think he would die, and there's no particular reason why he should have thought it, as sting rays are not usually that dangerous as marine creatures go, it was kind of a fluke that it happened as it did

10:14 am

hurshy

woot, made it up to 30 G words!

10:15 am

clg47

10:41 am

BzznBea

can't play baseball is a clue

10:41 am

hurshy

ahhh thanks

10:42 am

hurshy

i hate baseball so that's not a word i would use or encounter very often

10:46 am

hokie carla

rehi - I like baseball and can't figure that out

10:46 am

hurshy

they might have a ra4 delay

10:46 am

BzznBea

weather related

10:46 am

hurshy

but if it doesn't stop ra4ing i guess that's a total ra7

10:46 am

hurshy

phantom: spittoon

10:48 am

hokie carla

oh, so not exactly baseball related. thanks for clarifying.

10:48 am

hurshy

lesson: sometimes knowing less about something... is more?

10:48 am

BzznBea

Clearly enable has not had high cholesterol.

10:49 am

penquis

LOL...

10:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, I tried statin even though I knew it wasn't in there

10:49 am

hurshy

10:49 am

BzznBea

That stuff about killed me.

10:50 am

MollyL

Not necessary

10:51 am

hurshy

penquis

ty, Molly...

10:53 am

wingding

molly, the whole reason at my age why i'm still employed ... i'll go to any length to get the job done .... adversity won't stop me, but, the dog whimpering right now is signaling that it's time to get a walk and deposit something on the ground :)

10:54 am

hurshy

it's kind of funny how that was a thin dagger first and then the heels were named after it and now we like ONLY use it for the heels

10:54 am

BzznBea

I use it in sewing.

10:54 am

hurshy

is it a stitch? or a needle or something?

10:55 am

hokie carla

no, it's a pokey thing

10:55 am

hokie carla

I have one I use occasionally too

10:55 am

hurshy

like you would poke a hole in leather with it?

10:55 am

MollyL

Is that like a Gumby thing?

10:56 am

BzznBea

That's an awl.

10:56 am

hurshy

ok then what is it and what do you use it for

10:57 am

MollyL

st9 is commonly recognized as the shoes

10:58 am

hokie carla

https://tinyurl.com/32v4arda

10:58 am

BzznBea

This is a pointed piece that can be plastic or metal. I use it to help with holding small sections at the sewing machine needle. Or helping to push the fabric through at the needle.

10:59 am

hokie carla

or pushing a corner out after you turn something right side out

10:59 am

hurshy

oh! my mom has one of those i think

10:59 am

BzznBea

St8 is also commonly recongnized as a very sharp knife.

11:00 am

hokie carla

do you have that purple thang, bea? multi use tool that I use a lot.

11:00 am

hurshy

2-2-7-2-2

11:01 am

BzznBea

I have several of them, Carla.

11:01 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have a couple. broke off the pointy end of one of them

11:02 am

hurshy

woot! found a third in7, my last i word!

11:02 am

BzznBea

I always get the squared end caught uner the needle.

11:03 am

hokie carla

the squared end is great for pulling thread forward on a coverstitch machine

11:03 am

hurshy

now what can my missing gi word be...

11:04 am

penquis

11:04 am

hurshy

11:28 am

BzznBea

Hey, nan

11:28 am

penquis

hi nan...

11:28 am

cybernan

I keep seeing that g as a c - trying to get my furry friend some catnip

11:41 am

MollyL

Nice to see you around Nan. I thought the long thing you posted the other day saying "goodbye my American friends" meant you were quitting the game.

11:46 am

cybernan

no - just for the day. I couldn't face anything american at the time. This whiplash economic thing is frustrating to say the least, but most upsetting is Trump's attitude toward my country. I know that most of you do not share his views.

11:48 am

cybernan

I deleted the goodbye in my profile, Molly - thanks for pointing that out.

11:48 am

BzznBea

I don't like his attitude towards my country either, nan. Or any other country for that matter.

11:50 am

wingding

cyber, i'm sorry for what this country has turned into ... i don't hear much from my cousin up there, but, i think she may have buyers remorse ... at wee bit less than half our country does not want an authoritarin regime leading us

11:50 am

cybernan

I see in today's news that he is finding loopholes in the judiciary to help him get on with his agenda without prosecution - scary scary stuff

11:51 am

wingding

he should focus on 'building the country up' instead of spending his energy destroying it

11:52 am

penquis

heading out....bye all....

11:52 am

cybernan

bye pen - hope we didn't scare you away

11:52 am

wingding

liked yesterdays hot mic moment to justice roberts ... what a lame excuse he came up w/ ... we all know he's indebted to him for giving him a get outta jail card

11:55 am

cybernan

oh - didn't you know? Donald was just thanking him for the great job he did at the swearing in ceremony - and I have a wonderful perfect swam p for sale.

11:57 am

wingding

he's clearing out all the hard working ppl, i was federal employee for years. so he can pack the agencies that he's not closing w/ brown nosers

11:59 am

Was thinking today about something today, since it has happened twice now.

2:01 pm

crosshair

Trump announces tarrifs, then cancels them fir anither month, but only at the last second. Who want to bet that he has hs financial guy buying up stock like crasy before he officially announces that he "changed his mind?"

2:01 pm

crosshair

Please just translate typos.

2:37 pm

dcseain

The majority of the land voted Eletoral votes matter, not individual ones in the final count.

2:37 pm

MollyL

The electoral votes are the only ones that have ever elected a President.

3:17 pm

dcseain

yep. and its working as intended, and thatâ€™s a problem.

3:20 pm

MollyL

Odd opinion, but you are entitled to it.

3:41 pm
