Howdy, Sue.

9:12 am

suefrad625

we have beautiful weather, I pray you are all safe

9:13 am

AR is having it bad

9:13 am

crosshair

We had a rare state of emergency in our county last night due to the second ice storm. 230,000 without power, but clean up is well uder way today.

9:14 am

suefrad625

I want you all to know that if ever you have to evacuate, and need a place to stay, we can make room.

9:14 am

suefrad625

Cross, if you want to take a trip.....

9:14 am

cybernan

wow - well past time for winter to be over. So glad I don't live in PQ or ON anymore!

9:14 am

suefrad625

it's 91 today

9:14 am

crosshair

No real damage except for the poor trees. :(

9:15 am

suefrad625

we have a fenced in yard for dogs, and a tiki hut for humans.

9:16 am

cybernan

So kind Sue -- but most of us don't want to risk coming to the states anymore -- too much trouble at the border.

9:16 am

crosshair

Wish I could, but it is not a good time to visit the U.S.

9:16 am

crosshair

Snap

9:16 am

suefrad625

we have had to bug out a couple of times and it was great to know we had a place to go.

9:16 am

suefrad625

hubby makes amazing ribs on the smoker

9:17 am

suefrad625

:(

9:19 am

crosshair

Lots of stories about visitors beging detained for ten days or more because they dont like the look of our paperwork.

9:19 am

suefrad625

we still had a few bears, but I have reinforced the fence, hung pine-sol bottles, bells, and a motion light! Next, I get to electrify it

9:21 am

crosshair

Lol, you can always tell if it is bear poop because it smells like pine-sol and has bells in it. :)

9:21 am

cybernan

crossy, I suspect that Trump has the media muzzled to the point that Americans never see those stories nor many of the other negative things that are happening to their government.

9:21 am

suefrad625

oh, and I move the bird feeders to the fence so they don't have to fight to get them. I figured its a good trade

9:22 am

suefrad625

rofl

9:23 am

crosshair

We had one eoman fron Ontario detained for twelve days because of some issue with her Ontario drivers license.

9:23 am

crosshair

Woman*

9:23 am

crosshair

I think you are right, cybernan.

9:25 am

cybernan

same in BC and conditions in the detainment centres are horrible --- people are treated worse than most animals. Leaves me wondering whatever happened to the Geneva Convention --- certainly isn't being honoured in the states!

9:27 am

bookgrrl

Nope - we here in the US see all those horror stories, but unfortunately, a chunk of the population doesnâ€™t care because they think it canâ€™t happen to them or that â€œthose peopleâ€ deserve it.

9:27 am

crosshair

:(

9:28 am

suefrad625

what about their victims?

9:29 am

cybernan

what victims?

9:29 am

suefrad625

the rapes, sex traffic children, the lost 300,000 kids missing

9:29 am

crosshair

Beside, we are in damage control mode with the tarrifs applied to the auto sector, aluminium, and potash. Waiting for our P.M to outline our response.

9:29 am

bookgrrl

And the checks and balances that the system once had have eroded via gerrymandering, legislation, and bad legal rulings.

9:30 am

suefrad625

what check and balance was used when they were coming in?

9:30 am

cybernan

yes all that is happening in the detentions centres too, sue -- it is terrible

9:30 am

suefrad625

I am sorry about all the tariff and costs. but its time America took care of America

9:30 am

cybernan

read something about (un)truth social, sue

9:30 am

crosshair

Lost me, how does sex trafficking connect to peole being jailed for trying to drive to the U.S?

9:30 am

suefrad625

we can't be a charity anymore, if we go bankrupt

9:31 am

suefrad625

this isn't personal or emotional, its financial

9:31 am

cybernan

all those excuses for tariffs exist only in Trump's mind -- he has brainwashed all of you

9:31 am

suefrad625

we have to be very careful now

9:31 am

bookgrrl

Sue is fixated on the idea that tourists and immigrants and free trade are bad for the US.

9:31 am

suefrad625

well, America voted him in and we trust his financial work

9:32 am

crosshair

The U.S will just end up paying 25% more for our stuff.

9:32 am

suefrad625

free trade is great.

9:32 am

suefrad625

drop all the tariffs then

9:32 am

cybernan

if you think prices were high before --- just wait until the tariffs start taking effect - you will be worse off than ever.

9:32 am

crosshair

Aluminum and potash are going to be painful.

9:32 am

suefrad625

which will help your cross. why is that bad for you

9:33 am

suefrad625

look, we CANT survive without outside countries. that can't be

9:33 am

crosshair

Trump fired off the tarriffs first. We are just responding in kind.

9:33 am

suefrad625

we love our neighbors and think you are all wonderful. but we can't afford it

9:33 am

cybernan

Do you also trust his work of dismantling the justice, education and medical systems, trying to control the press --- these are all moves of a would be dictator

9:33 am

suefrad625

its not personal. you all talk in emotions

9:34 am

crosshair

Well, this is going to get much worse before it gets better.

9:34 am

suefrad625

the education system, yes. when the states took over the education it was much better

9:35 am

suefrad625

the education department was taking money and giving nothing

9:35 am

crosshair

Well, the $25 auto tarrifs is going to put a lot of people out of work, so emotion is not surprising.

9:35 am

cybernan

Also when the leader of one country threatens to take over their neighbour it becomes very personal

9:35 am

crosshair

25%

9:35 am

suefrad625

I work in the schools and you would cry

9:35 am

crosshair

Very oersonal

9:35 am

suefrad625

they can't read

9:35 am

crosshair

Personal

9:35 am

Shirlockc

so it's better that some of the states still don't teach evolution?

9:35 am

suefrad625

no shirl

9:35 am

suefrad625

it means to teach it all

9:36 am

suefrad625

picture this. a rep for each state that communicates with each other to see what is working and holding the states to a level of excellence

9:37 am

cybernan

finally found my last n (ne 5) -- don't know how I could be so blind

9:37 am

suefrad625

you think someone making hundreds of thousands of dollars in WA cares about the students in Concord, NC.

9:37 am

cybernan

sounds great sue - doubt it wil happen though -- you need some sort of central government and a dicgtatorship won't cover it

9:37 am

crosshair

Good news is that our west ciast LNG plant comes online today, and we have already secured a free trade deal with the E.U on it. :)

9:37 am

suefrad625

ty cyber, I missed it also

9:38 am

crosshair

Coast

9:38 am

suefrad625

It is going to put a lot of Americans to work

9:40 am

suefrad625

Trump is a daddy bear, and he is going to do what it takes to take care of America. And he is not taking over other countries, he is giving options.

9:40 am

crosshair

Well, I think we are going for a different option.

9:41 am

crosshair

We are securing free trade deals with Japan as well.

9:42 am

suefrad625

no matter what, you have a beautiful place to hang if you get to Florida.

9:42 am

bookgrrl

OMG - Iâ€™m turning off the chat now. The last thing I want is is to read that a person with a history of sexual assault and racist actions is a â€œdaddy bearâ€.

9:42 am

cybernan

I certainly agree that he is a predator -- and like all predators only cares about himself and is very dangerous. Sorry but I don't consider him saying Canada should be American is an option - it is a declaration of war

9:42 am

Shirlockc

yep, i think all the countries will do what's best for them and exclude the US for now

9:42 am

crosshair

Lol@ "daddy bear!"

9:42 am

suefrad625

I think so Shirl

9:42 am

crosshair

Exactly shirlock

9:42 am

Shirlockc

i suppose russia might be US's bestie now

9:43 am

suefrad625

and America needs to learn how to stand by herself

9:43 am

suefrad625

why Shirl?

9:43 am

suefrad625

we can't make our own meds. China makes them...its just wrong

9:43 am

crosshair

Well, they are going to get the chance, but Trump and company won't like it.

9:43 am

Shirlockc

there'll be no one left to trade with

9:44 am

cybernan

Hope you like communism -- that's where you are headed.

9:44 am

suefrad625

well, voting for him, we are going to give him more then 100 days.

9:44 am

cybernan

Hope you like communism -- that's where you are headed.

9:44 am

suefrad625

why cyber

9:44 am

suefrad625

he has done exactly what we voted for

9:45 am

crosshair

I am waiting for his executive irder demanding that he be refferred to as "glorious leader."

9:45 am

suefrad625

exactly. its all transparent online

9:45 am

suefrad625

we think so already cross, lol

9:45 am

cybernan

That is where Trump is leading you, Sue -- you just can't or won't open your eyes and see it. Maybe a study of world history would help.

9:45 am

crosshair

...

9:46 am

cybernan

he has already called himself "king", crossy

9:46 am

suefrad625

there are people supporting a man named Mangione who killed an insurance CEO on the streets because of where he worked

9:47 am

cybernan

He has in a very short time managed to atagaonize most of the free world

9:47 am

crosshair

Anyway, time will tell. We also diverted an order to build six passanger planes that will now be built outside the U.S

9:47 am

suefrad625

people are shooting and burning cars?? and attacking drivers of the cars they all pushed to buy

9:47 am

suefrad625

we are sick and we need to heal

9:47 am

suefrad625

a man killed a guy at Walgreens because he didn't like drug stores

9:48 am

crosshair

I feel bad for our American friends. :(

9:48 am

suefrad625

we need your love, not hate

9:48 am

Shirlockc

we have a measles epidemic because people think that no vaccines are fine

9:48 am

suefrad625

we need to know that life means everything.

9:48 am

Shirlockc

science >>>>> politics please

9:49 am

cybernan

every country has their rotten eggs and criminally insane, sue, but I think you will find that most of them are "home grown", not foreigners as Trump contends

9:49 am

crosshair

We do not hate our american friends--we hate the current government.

9:50 am

suefrad625

no cyber, that doesn't work. every one person killed by an illegal person is too much

9:50 am

cybernan

Like all bullies Trump blames everyone but himself - takes no responsibility for failure.

9:50 am

suefrad625

if it were my loved one, I would think that

9:50 am

suefrad625

wouldn't you

9:51 am

suefrad625

I almost died and I can tell you, it changes you

9:51 am

crosshair

Look at the stick market right now. It is in freefall, and lives are being destroyed as a direct result, but hey, make America great again, right?

9:51 am

suefrad625

you see life and a gift for everyone

9:51 am

crosshair

Stock

9:51 am

suefrad625

the stock market isn't life, and you know that

9:51 am

crosshair

It Is for some people.

9:52 am

suefrad625

it seems we have all gotten used to the THIS SECOND, but if you are planning for long term, it takes time

9:52 am

suefrad625

we had Biden do nothing for 4 years

9:52 am

crosshair

If the business you work at loses fifty oercent of it value on the market, do you think that affects you?

9:52 am

suefrad625

I need my kids getting SS, not millions of dead people

9:53 am

cybernan

and now you have Trump destroying everything for 4 years

9:53 am

suefrad625

look at Elon, he is living through it

9:53 am

Shirlockc

well how about all the people who will died because they have medicaid is being cut?

9:53 am

suefrad625

everyone has his stock, and yet they are attacking his company

9:53 am

suefrad625

what about all that work for him?

9:53 am

cybernan

lovely selfish abominable person isn't he

9:53 am

crosshair

Well, I am dure the richest man on the planet will fare well.

9:54 am

suefrad625

not cutting anything, recouping all given to those not needing it. dead or alive

9:54 am

suefrad625

what about the employees cyber

9:54 am

suefrad625

what about THEM?

9:54 am

Shirlockc

well, he should be efficient there and cut those employees too

9:54 am

suefrad625

what about the lady who is afraid to drive her car because someone ran her off the road and screamed at her

9:55 am

crosshair

I am dure that all those fired federal eorkers do not give a damn if Tesla goes belly up.

9:55 am

suefrad625

are you going to buy her a new car?

9:55 am

cybernan

I don't have his stock --- in fact I don't hold any US stock any more.

9:55 am

suefrad625

since COVID we have 2x the fed Gov. it had to go

9:55 am

suefrad625

they used the fed gov to hire everyone

9:55 am

crosshair

Not a chance, but If I do, it would be from the Honda plant here in Alliston.

9:56 am

suefrad625

but, because of the growth of America, they will have lots of jobs

9:56 am

cybernan

Honda's are great cars, crossy

9:56 am

crosshair

I just dumped all my U.S stock invluding my WMT shares.

9:56 am

suefrad625

I've been fired and I didn't get 8 months pay

9:56 am

suefrad625

Honda are great cars

9:57 am

suefrad625

and this trans opponents are sick.

9:57 am

cybernan

read some of the financial papers, sue and articles written by well known financiers -- America is in decline!

9:57 am

suefrad625

Trans men do not belong in women's sports.

9:57 am

Shirlockc

my linked in feed is full of people looking for jobs, it's not "full of jobs"

9:57 am

crosshair

But cars are already so expensive ore-tarriff, that it makes sense to keep investing in my current vehicle.

9:57 am

suefrad625

a girl just gave up her olympic chances just now

9:57 am

suefrad625

she took a knee

9:58 am

Pre-tarriff

10:00 am

cybernan

10:00 am

suefrad625

here they want you identify your new born babies sex on their birth certificate

10:01 am

suefrad625

10:01 am

crosshair

Indeed :/

10:02 am

suefrad625

I don't care, as long as it is not in a competition for women.

10:03 am

suefrad625

we earn our right in there. we work through our periods, we work through bouncing boobs.

10:04 am

UntitledDocument

As a queer person myself, I admit that the issue of trans women in sports is complicated, but I leave the legislation to the experts in sports medicine and the endocrinologists.

10:04 am

suefrad625

and yes, my granddaughters will NOT change clothing in front of boy in school

10:05 am

suefrad625

and as mother of queer boys, I don't care about that.

10:05 am

UntitledDocument

I am of the opinion that your granddaughters should not have to change clothing in front of anyone!

10:06 am

suefrad625

I don't care about who you love and want to be with. But not when you are putting science against emotions

10:06 am

crosshair

We had teo people at my work who were transgender, and they were treated no differently, and they used whatever bathroom they were comfortsble with, they played whatever sports interested them. Not my place to judge.

10:06 am

crosshair

suefrad625

I think you are wonderful untitled. I have to go.

suefrad625

10:07 am

suefrad625

Yup.

All done for now.

10:11 am

crosshair

Hiwdy, Eva. :)

10:12 am

EvaNadine

too tired to get my feathers ruffled today.
i have too many friends i would feel the need to stick up for in that conversation.

10:12 am

EvaNadine

hiya Crossy. :)

10:12 am

crosshair

Yup, best to let it rest for now.

10:14 am

crosshair

It was the same when I ran a bar--talk about anything you want except politics and religion, or you end up brooming up broken glass and patching holes in the walls.

10:15 am

UntitledDocument

The difficulty is when someone's fundamental identity is considered political. Thank you all for the civil chat, I shall return to lurking

10:15 am

crosshair

Tc, Untitled. :)

10:15 am

EvaNadine

there are times and places for all sorta of debates -- and lord knows i exercise them all.
but i come to Babble to escape, so i dont want to have to wage battle here as well.

10:16 am

crosshair

Fair enough.

10:16 am

EvaNadine

you are very welcome here anytime you wish to de-lurk, Untitled. :)

10:17 am

EvaNadine

anywhoodle.
more gridding.
there are still 45 words left in there that are hiding from me.

10:18 am

crosshair

I should know better. You get a far left and a far right trying to justify their positions and it usually never ends well.

10:19 am

crosshair

I am still chuckling at "big bear."

10:20 am

crosshair

But back to finding a few more words.

10:20 am

EvaNadine

i dont think i read that far back.

10:21 am

crosshair

My mind is trying to conjure up a large, old bear who was caught eating a large bag of cheetos.

10:22 am

A bear in orange face. :)

10:25 am

And sorry, Eva, don't have any of htem

I bit my tongue during all that crazy talk - it's almost time for me to get ready for a meeting today with the powers that be at a nearby nursing home, where my disabled daughter (age 37, has MS, can't stand or walk any more, other medical problems too numerous to go into) was taken to in December. I can no longer be her sole caretaker, as I am too old and messed up myself and she is bigger than me. We are scared of what may happen with this administration.

10:29 am

crosshair

((rbud))

10:29 am

Dorens

And good reason to be scared. I'm sorry rbud

10:32 am

crosshair

Sorry about the politics, rbud, but this threat has fired up and united Canadians like never before.

10:33 am

rbud

thanks. I will just continue to persevere and hope for the best for all of us.

10:33 am

crosshair

Yes, I wish that as well.

10:35 am

EvaNadine

any americans who ARENT afraid arent paying attention.

10:35 am

Dorens

I live in a bubble...all my friends feel the same way about the orange putz and his mad sidekick Elon. Most of us are political activists but find it hard to know what to do right now. Things look so bleak. There will be rallies across the country this Saturday, but I'm not sure how well publicized this has been so unclear as to how many people will actually show up. But with a little luck this movement will grow. The problem as I see it is the complicity of Republicans unwilling to be honest and stop the insanity

10:37 am

well a hell of a lot of damage is being done right now and will be difficult to repair, if and when we get the chance. Bankrupting the government to benefit the oligarchs right now

10:39 am

hurshy

i know, i just thought a pun might cheer you up a smidge

10:39 am

EvaNadine

yup.
the average american is operating with a middle-school level of education. but they refuse to acknowledge that they may not know everything and to trust the people who actually have studied these things.
and until the rest of our government gets off their asses and does their job in checks and balances, we are living in an actual hellscape.

10:39 am

Dorens

ahh. not working today. but thanks hush
and I'm not seeing much hope for checks and balances these days,,

I live in a blue bubble too. Every now and then a MAGA hat wanders in. The head under the hat doesn't know what oligarchy even means, so "What Me Worry?"

EvaNadine

I'd expect most of the older MAGAs to remember Reaganomics and understand that the trickle-down theory was a massive failure.
but alas...

10:49 am

Dorens

Quite true Kaplan. But I do know some people with graduate degrees who clearly have intelligence but just don't seem to be willing to admit they were wrong back in 2016,

10:49 am

Dorens

I don't think they've ever come to understand that it was a failure, Eva

10:52 am

My Congresswoman is having a Town Hall this evening. I'm going and I hope she doesn't have too many MAGAs there to heckle her. They are all over her social media trolling her and being generally obnoxious.

10:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

They don't remember- lot of them weren't alive. 1984 is a long time ago. The dumbing down of America was a contribution of the Reagan Bush years. They've been playing the long game.

i mean really we already had oligarchy - now it's just so much more blatant and out in the open, who konws? it MAY make enough people realize it's bad that we can actually eventually get fundamental reform out of all this.

11:07 am

Dorens

Well, it's not something I need to worry about anymore, not with stage IV pancreas cancer. But I'm on a terrific clinical study drug at Sloan Kettering that has shrunk the tumor by 75%. Still, at 75, I don't think I'll be around long enough to worry about 100

11:07 am

hurshy

wow, dorens. so sorry to hear about your diagnosis but glad you're in a good clinical trial

11:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

Dorens, are you in pain?

11:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

Chicago Patriots?

11:09 am

Dorens

Nope, not now. The shrinking of the tumor has freed me from the fentanyl patches I needed from November through February. Twinges now, but no big deal

11:10 am

Sorry to hear that, Dorens. As a cancer survivor myself, I can fully relate.

11:10 am

hurshy

actor Humphrey's nickname counts

11:11 am

Dorens

yes, it's a golf term brushy
Crossy, were you stage IV also??

11:11 am

crosshair

Stage three

11:11 am

hurshy

i usually see the golf term spelled -ey

11:11 am

JaxH66

Sorry to hear that Dorens. What type of drug are you on for your clinical trial?

11:11 am

crosshair

I have been in remission for fifteen years ir so

11:12 am

hurshy

then again i guess i don't know how people spell Humphrey's nickname since one mostly hears it aloud

11:12 am

Dorens

At first it was called RMC62436, but now it has a name - Daronraxib

11:13 am

hurshy

do they use a random word generator or does a person make up those names??

11:13 am

crosshair

Are they going to try and remove the tumour if it shrinks enough?

11:14 am

Dorens

NIce, cross, and yes brushy, they are spelled differently
sorry, I think it's daraxonrasib. And no Cross, it had already metastasized to several spots so I'm past being helped by surgery. The drug lasts as long as the tumor doesn't mutate to make it stop working. Then..... who knows

11:15 am

crosshair

:(

11:15 am

Dorens

brushy? I coulda sworn I typed hurshy

11:15 am

JaxH66

There are lots of new treatments at the moment and lots of repurposed drugs that work for other types of tumours. It's really hopeful what they can do with some of these newer drugs. Long may it continue to work for you.

I was fortunate. My stage three seminoma was caught JUST before it metastisized.

11:16 am

crosshair

It is safe

11:16 am

Dorens

they are really excited about this daraxonrasib. They think it will end up being first line treatment for many solid tumors, not just pancreas

And yes that's true hurshy, but I was really off babble for a while, and lots of other things.

11:17 am

crosshair

Understandable.

11:18 am

hurshy

dang it all

11:18 am

JaxH66

Solid tumours are so hard to treat. My husband had a really aggressive form of bone cancer with virtually no treatment options. He did a clinical trial which helped for a few months. I'm always pleased and excited to see trials that work and potentially can be used for other cancers.

11:19 am

cybernan

so sorry to hear about your cancer Dorens -- hope the new drugs will continue to help you.

11:20 am

Yes. My doctor told me that if I had the cancer in 1970 it would have killed me. They are learning new things all the time.

I remember how the chemo bags were still warm when they were brought up from the lab. Shudder...

11:25 am

crosshair

Yes, glad it is working. We want you with us for a long time yet, Dorens.

11:25 am

JaxH66

Cisplatin is awful. Taken with a cocktail of other drugs it's horrendous. The cisplatin was probably the least worse of the drugs he was one. So sad to see the awful effects of treatment. Hopefully they will soon come up with kinder drugs that can target just the tumours and no cause the horrendous side effects to the rest of the body.

11:26 am

Dorens

Sorry, I'm in and out right now. Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone. And yes, my drug is oral, and I take it every day, and will until it stops working, which apparently it will some day. But for now I'm happy, much more energy than I had previously and enjoying my wonderful family and friends.

The thing is, I think is this: we all have pretty strong opinions one way or the other about current affairs. No one of us is going to change anotherâ€™s mind. So all we do is wrangle and sometimes hurt each other. So it is best to stick to discussing Babble and other mundane things.

We once had a very old 18 foot aluminum boat. It was a riveted hull that started to seep after a while, so we used muffler tape to slow down the leaks. :)

2:15 pm

moolingwa

a perfectly good example of boattape

2:15 pm

crosshair

Indeed. :)

2:15 pm

moolingwa

Beautiful thing was if you really opened her up, and got her on plane, you could carefully reach down, pull the drain plug, and it would suck the water out. Just had to remember to put it back right after.

2:20 pm

hokie carla

I almost had a chignon today but then it turned into a ponytail
