crosshair

Never been, but bring monkey treats. :)

10:45 am

Atalante

luckily only flitting through the airport. will throw from plane

10:45 am

10:46 am

Atalante

eeek! wow. This is was the cheapest route to Qingdao from UK

10:47 am

crosshair

21 + hours. Must be a ton of layovers.

10:47 am

Atalante

I guess its coming round this way rather than going over pacific

10:48 am

Atalante

is 11 hour flight from here. 2 hours in Wuhan to find a mutated monkey then 3 hours to Qingdao

10:48 am

crosshair

My beloved and I are debating a trip to Ireland next year should the stars align properly.

10:49 am

crosshair

Set up base camp in Trim and just explore. :)

10:49 am

Atalante

you should. Ireland is beautiful and bonkers

10:52 am

crosshair

I think soodle once mentioned she has a daughter who operates a hotel in Trim. Might even get a Babble meetup.

Atalante

Soodle is around, I'm hoping to meet her in Dublin soon!

10:53 am

crosshair

Nice. :)

10:55 am

crosshair

All U.S trips are off for us--for at least a couple of years, sadly, so time to explore other places on our bucket list.

dcseain

I'm participating in the economic blackouts from the People's Party USA. We all do as we can to RESIST.

11:28 am

lynnet

As a citizen of the US, I wholeheartedly support an international boycott. The only thing this administration cares about is itself and the amount of money they can grab. I boycott everything I can, contact the White House and my representatives on a regular basis but pressure from the rest of the world is so helpful. Thank you for helping us with this resistance.

11:29 am

dcseain

I gently moved to Arlington, VA, a short walk from the Pentagon and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. So I'm in the thick of this nightmare. I need protect my neighbors and my self. I am grateful to have known my great-grandfather who told me all about what it was like in Germany that caused him and his sister to leave what turned out to be a week before Kristallnacht. And my mother's father who was in the US Navy in Tunisia and Italy.

11:29 am

dcseain

And yes, and international boycott is how the hit our economy, and I'm all for that.

11:29 am

dcseain

A better tomorrow is coming, for in the darkest of times there be light.

11:29 am

dcseain

recently, not gently oops. Cat was walking on me.

11:30 am

dcseain

making fi5s, making fi5s, Vendetta's always making fi5s!

11:36 am

crosshair

Well, seems we tied up a contract with China yesterday for oil that would have otherwise gone to the U.S. Maybe it will make

11:37 am

crosshair

Give trump pause for reflection*

11:37 am

hurshy

greetings

11:37 am

crosshair

Howdy, Hurshy. :)

11:37 am

hurshy

top row grey!

11:38 am

crosshair

Easy to get down to three four words, Hurshy. :)

11:39 am

hurshy

well that was true yesterday as well!

11:39 am

crosshair

Only one that got me was a "choral composition."

11:40 am

hurshy

2nd row grey!

11:40 am

crosshair

Yaa!

11:41 am

hurshy

3rd row grey!

11:41 am

crosshair

I will hang around for a few in case you need a clue ir two. :)

11:42 am

hurshy

11:42 am

hurshy

4th row grey!

11:42 am

crosshair

Nice. :)

11:42 am

hurshy

done!

11:42 am

hurshy

ok now which one is a choral composition bc whatever it is, i think i must only know it as a babblet

11:42 am

crosshair

Wow!

11:42 am

hurshy

one of the mo5s?

11:43 am

crosshair

The first mo5

11:43 am

hurshy

ok cool thanks :D

11:43 am

crosshair

:) you rock! That was fast.

11:44 am

crosshair

Took you all of five minutes.

11:45 am

Gillie

So, not only is the FDA suspending food-testing programs, but it refused to publicize an E-coli outbreak in 15 states related to lettuce. Making American healthy!

11:45 am

crosshair

We may have to stop importing U.S food. :(

11:47 am

crosshair

Our smaller population is a bonus that make us more fluid when it comes to sourcing food. We recently closed a deal with Brazil for iranges.

11:47 am

crosshair

Oranges.

11:49 am

Gillie

Who closed a deal for oranges with Brazil? That doesn't sound like a government function.

11:52 am

Gillie

There is apparently at least one major orange juice producer in Canada that already sourced its oranges from Brazil - maybe you've been reading about that?

11:52 am

crosshair

You will have to search for It. The details of the deal escape me at the moment.

11:52 am

crosshair

Perhaps.

11:54 am

crosshair

Another bit of good news is the new LNG facility out west is now online. They were "priming" it last week, I believe.

11:56 am

crosshair

There are a few countries that are happy to buy our energy--without onerous tariffs.

11:58 am

Gillie

Trump is also planning to charge huge fees to Chinese-made ships coming into American ports with cargos, apparently in the hope that this will cause an American ship-building industry to spring up overnight. Fun fact - besides adding even more to the cost of imported goods, this will also make it more difficult and expensive to export American goods!

11:59 am

crosshair

He is a piece of work to be sure.

12:00 pm

crosshair

Nithing like pissing off a country that holds a fortune in U.S bonds.

12:00 pm

crosshair

We own a few as well. :)

12:05 pm

crosshair

Anyways, if no clues are needed I shall be off for a bit.

12:06 pm

crosshair

Take care all, elbows up, and happy babbling!

mich_pdx

how did you catch that butterfly, good sir? why I caught it netly... (alas, not a real word)

4:53 pm

mich_pdx

btw - I'm appalled at the way Canada and the rest of our allies/trade partners have been treated by this administration, for what it's worth

5:04 pm

mich_pdx

happy Easter to those who celebrate, happy Spring to all who live in the N. hemisphere, and happy Fall to those of you "down undah"

5:55 pm

crosshair

Good evening, Babblers. :)

5:59 pm

crosshair

Just popped back in to see if any clues are needed, then I am off to watch another episode of The Rookie--an excellent series on Prime.

6:03 pm

crosshair

Have a good night then and elbows up!

6:25 pm

dcseain

7:00 pm

hokie carla
