UT5/12 - wombs
Oh noooo! Just how stupid can I be? Thanks so much matty :)
You're very welcome!
Matty, how is your grand girlie doing?
homologous chromosome sets...yee gods
Still trying to work out the pl8 - anyone prepared to give a further hint please?
She's great - 8 weeks old today. Sarah told me 'the baby's broken - she slept five and a half hours!' :) So all good
Alleyn, think 'dipl8' or hapl8 - remember, we're talking chromosomes here
And it's a plural, if that helps
It helped enormously - thank you - got it.
You're welcome!
Matty how is it going with your new "roommate"? Or has that happened yet?
so you can re5(s) your garden but you can't re6(p) it
Sounds about right for enable.
yep
How is the rv reno coming?
pretty good. I realized when I started the curtain project that I didn't really take fullness into account so then I had to do some creative cutting and seam allowances. then decided I am going to have to use curtain rings at least on the one window for it to be long enough
but the wallpaper I put up on Fri was still up when I went over last night so that's good
Always a good thing to have wallpaper still hanging. =)
This puzzle isn't flowing well.
gonna have to do some straightening up of things and paint touch-ups. also have to put the new lighting/switches in and finish the new cabinet hardware. The new screws don't fit the drawers so I need to find the old ones down in the basement here where we took them off to paint
I'm just on the 2nd row and have almost made halfway but only grayed 1 tile so far.
make that 3!
oh, just found an internet acronym in the grid, molly will be so happy. IDGAF
Watch it, or you will be summarily called out in "someone's" profile
Now they are calling you out in their profiles?
just for a bad word? that is accepted by enable? IDGAF
I don't really give one either. These people amuse me with their histrionics.
Hi all. Happy Sunday. I am looking for the top corner R and the single E in the first column, third row. Any help, please?

nm
You always get the Spanish.
that one's not spanish
You are right...
now I've gotta look for spanish words. don't think I've found any yet.
I rarely see that Spanish word, or the Italian word that means the same thing. Probably because I don't use them.
I keep wanting to make azure
Is there a fetus word today?
I keep thinking I see one but can't find it.

There is a fetus home word
I think Bea is wanting to see one of those Brit fetus words with the extra vowel
ah, yes, I don't ever see those but you are right, it's almost there
I got that womb.

Money of Africa
ah, the old country too, thanks
It is referred to as "The Attack of The Fun Police". No more sandboxes, no more monkey bars, no more merry-go-rounds.
Everything is being banned. We might as well be a communist country.
No more ball pits, no more tire swings. I'm glad my kids got to enjoy those things.
we also had a big rope hanging from the gym ceiling that people actually climbed up and touched the rafters. I doubt that its still there.
1 R left
I'm surprised swings are still allowed.
What are you fixing for dinner tonight, Molly?
Beef burgandy
I have a seasoned turkey breast tenderloin. I'm not keen on those pre seasoned things, but it was cheap and I was reaching...

Do you ever watch Vet shows on AP or Nat Geo Wild?
I do not watch TV at all.
Lots of unnies

Greetings, all......45 to go.....sprinklers going, birdseed feeders filled, suet feeders filled, dogs fed and watered.....whew.....
Ha, I just washed dishes, switched laundry (load 3 of 4), and checked on seedlings in containers on the back deck.
I will refill feeders later.
hello everyone - another rainy day in paradise :)
Oh, no.
oh well -- lot's of rain = not as many forest fires and there isn't anything going on anywhere this summer.
But sunshine improves mood.
no feeders needed here, they just help themselves to my deck garden
The chipmunks bite the tops off of my sunflower seedlings, yet I still try every spring.
serer
have the same problem with the quail and my beans
I've got that one. Toss out an 8, please.
Our critters enjoy the buffets, right?
only 8 I have is the pl that was clued earlier
pl 8/50
My squirrels and chipmunks inhale everything in sight!!
The squirrels are acrobats as they reach and hang from bird feeders.
try leaving strong pot out for them une
Haha.
oh... not that kind of inhaling :D
Have you all seen the squirrel spinner? Very amusing.
Yep
https://twistedsifter.com/videos/most-\nover-engineered-backyard-squirrel-obst\nacle-course-ever/
something ate all my cara cara oranges and left the peels on the lawn in the back.. probably a possum
The plural of wombs always gets me. I need to stop missing that word.
makes you womb-batty?
It gives me cramps.
i'm glad i don't get cramps
My womb was useless for me and gave me nothing by trouble.
*but
now its a womb with a view
this grid is harder than it looked at first
hello...not seeing the po8 help?
a lot of crazy words I've never seen before -- went to the list with 57 to go and still monkeying a lot of them
I have neither 8.
pl8 has to do with chromosomes
found the po8
haven't found the po 8 -- a clue please phaeton?
after the not peaceful protests
Ha, I don't have that either.
ty carla
Ts Trampled!
Go Hurshy, go. I need simple clues for pl8 and po8, please.
still have 2 t's from 2 tiles left and 1 from the 3rd
i haven't done any P words yet
I was fallopian there would be some ut5 puns
carla just clued the po 8
oh, I thought my po8 was simple
i find that i get more words if i focus on one letter at a time
me too, but then I get stuck
I would have.. but then I'd be called worse than hitler
Not simple enough for me.
a lot of business owners looked at their buildings po8 to check the damage
it is compound word: from pillar to ______ + there was looting in the _______
scrab do you have the po 4/5
po : after + what the crowds in the streets do every day in the states right now -- smash windows, etc
Yes
Wow Nan, that is a big over generalization
eggzactly, ru
mine no helpy?
maybe she meant some other states
Looting in the st***8?
i keep hoping she'll get ovum it someday hokie :D
no, it was a mob and they were having a _____ which included yelling burning and looting
Got it now, TY, Nan.
Now I need pl8
I don't think so, Molly -- it is all we've seen on our news (other than Trump trying to pretend that covid-19 doesn't exist) on the TV news channels for over a week now.
Agreed, Nan, there is ri**ing everywhere.
sorry - that came out garbled -- was interrupted in the middle of typing it
well, i know that when i read news out of india, it seems like women are being raped every second there, but when i spoke with someone from india, he (granted, it was a he) did not think that it was as common as it might seem on the news
the riots are a small part of this nan.. it's much bigger than that
ends in not lives, starts out sounding like a plan to scheme someone but with a vowel instead of the sometimes vowel (pl8).
and that is way less simple clue than my po8 clues, so sorry about that
hurshy or ru, what are my 2 missing t's from right corner?
finally got that lone a jeeeeeez
yeah, that one was tough, ru
I realize that, Ru -- I wasn't talking about the message from the peaceful protesters -- I was talking about the hoodlums still taking advantage of the protests to do their vandalizing and thieving.
ermmm... maybe to5/18 and plural? (a second pair besides the regular rapunzel words)
little tow trucks hokie :D
I found pl8 on Morewords.
argh, thanks, ru
now how about my 2 t's from 4th row?
tu4 perhaps
that hasn't really happened that much nationally nan.. rioting is just a small issue
and thx hurshy, you also got it right even though I didn't see your guess
maybe to7
tu4 was one
not according the news we've been getting
to7 must be the other
there hasn't been all that much rioting it's mostly been peaceful except for some police action lately
never mind, I have a to7
you're getting filtered news then nan
we had some ri4 last weekend but haven't heard of any lately
no - I think we are getting unfiltered news -- unfiltered by the US government
But the rioting and looting are causing such damage and destruction. So sad.
not as sad as the stuff that happens that makes people protest
exactly hursh
I don't think it is the protesters who are rioting
I just know early on in the protests our local news was covering the riots here but haven't seen any lately, so either they've stopped, or I stopped checking the news, or the govt made our local news stop covering it which is what nan is implying?
no.. it's usually scumbags who take advantage of the situration
yeah, it seems like it is a lot of times other people taking advantage, but idk what can be done about that. people aren't going to not protest because others might take advantage of it to be violent.
Ss Shackled!
I've seen several instances of the protestors trying to get the rioters to stop what they were doing
still need 3 s's if you want to try to guess ;)
Yes, but the rioting/looting is so devastating to business people.
considering all the protests nationally scrabs the looting is not that high
the rioting does seem to be slowing down now. The root cause of the protests, however, seems to be escalating and having a president that supports legalized violence doesn
then maybe the business people need to do more speaking up on behalf of the vulnerable
help
hello friends
hey look, my cat fritz is in the grid! he's a pe4
It destructive and embarrassing to the cause of the polite protesters.
indeed, it is.
hurshy, that doesn't really make sense because if the looters are just taking advantage of a situation and not part of the protest, then how is the bus. leaders speaking up for the protest going to help?
One of the many reasons I don't watch the news is that news stations put their own spin on what is really happening. The days of reporting real news are long over.
if society were such that these protests were not necessary, then there would be nothing to take advantage of and no destruction, hokie.
it's not going to make them stop and think about who they're vandalizing or stealing from
2nd te 6 please?
spoke to my stepmother, aka "trumps biggest fan" yesterday - she was going on and on about how the protesters are COMPLETELY to blame for the spikes in COVID. Nothing I could say would dissuade her.
i'm talking longer term and bigger picture, not "in the moment", hokie
I don't know hurshy I think this is a big step forward for America ..
yeah, but I'm saying nothing is going to stop those "in the moment" looters.
it may not change much in the south, but it certainly will in other urban centers
ruru what i'm saying is, if these problems already did not exist, because the people in privileged positions did what was necessary to create a society where all people were treated properly, then these protests would not be needed
well stated, hurshy
2nd one I have nan is horse related, part that hooks to reins. rhymes with an animal that some people keep as a pet, may be a rodent
that'd be nice hursh.. but we have to work to get there first
it is always down the the wealthy and the powerful serving their own interests rather than serving all the people, in the end, that is the root cause of it all
Don't discount the south, ru
also, don't generalize the south
That is the 3rd one carla
Where have all these protesters been all this time? What happened to George Floyd is nothing new. It has been going on for years.
Maybe when all those confederate flags go away hokie
people have been protesting police brutality for YEARS molly
there have been previous protests, but i would imagine the COVID situation somehow contributes to the protests being bigger this time. more people out of work and thus available to take to the streets.
The protesters are mostly young and wouldn't have alive when Rodney KIng was beaten in the 1990's.
I agree Hursh
where where the "all lives matter" people when Asians were being blamed for Corona? When gay and transgender rights were stripped by the president? When women's right were rolled back?
yeah, I drive by 2 or 3 giant ones when traveling on NC roads. private property, not state related. you can't argue with those people. they think the flag is part of what makes them southern and refuse to see the link to how black people view it.
funny how "all lives matter" only became a thing when "black lives matter" became a thing
nan, the first one I have is part of another name for seesaw.
Probably because black lives matter singles out a certain population of lives. I do believe that all lives matter. And that discrimination against any race or creed is wrong.
the second and third te6 appear to be homonyms
the reason black lives matter singles out a population is because that population is singled out for mistreatment.
I see discrimination aganist Hispanics every day and have heard stories about police brutality against Hispanics. No one is out protesting against that.
but charlotte is pretty progressive, very large black population, so I wouldn't count it out of the urban centers just because it's in the south
not for gay people hokie
well, many people do regularly talk about "black and brown" lives being less valued than others, on a global scale as well as an american one.
I agree, hokie - I feel like charlotte gets a bum rap because that is where the people got mowed down at the protest
Oh Hurshy, do you REALLY believe that only black people are mistreated?
but when you need a short, catchy slogan
i believe that minorities are mistreated disproportionately compared to whites. i don't believe that black lives matter intentionally overlooks the other minorities, just, again, when you need a short, catchy slogan...
that was Charlottesville, VA, Trif, unless I'm missing one in Charlotte
oh man, I am sorry.
there goes my credibility for all time
oh man you might be right hokie I get my Charlottes mixed up
lol trif, we all make mistakes
ru, are you referring to the whole bathroom thing? everyone in Charlotte was against that.
Charlotte Mountbatten-Windsor is super cute
LOL, Trif
then how did it pass hokie
the rest of the state
at first at least until there was backlash
can someone repeat the pl8 clue (sorry)?
nevermind
sounds like a planet hurshy pl8
i remembered enough of it to get it
star cluster, not planet :D
yeah, I don't even know what the current bathroom law is. I've been to plenty of restaurants that just have one.
FYI - Charlotte metro is 2.8 million per wiki. Charlottesville is way, way smaller. (and the home of all Hokies' bitter rival, UVA)
Rs Ravaged!
how many conferderate statues are there in Charlotte hokie?
i can't get the star cluster clue....I know the name of the cluster, can't make the word work - how aggravating
the vowel sound in it is more like the vowel sound from the pig noise
I don't know of any. Was thinking of that the other day. It is a fairly new city as far as that goes. I moved here in 1995 and it has grown tremendously since then.
hah! the perfect nudge - thank you hurshy!
Hurshy gives good nudge
hurshy, have you seen "land girls" on netflix? perfect watch for anglophiles....
it's been a while since I've had a good nudge
wow this grid is just impossible now
ok, just googled, ru, and apparently there are 2 (or there were in 2017 when this was written)
maybe not for long hokie
one is an obelisk in a cemetery with lots of confederate soldiers buried there. not sure how I feel about that. I mean, they were soldiers and died, do we pretend like they never existed?
ha! personal growth! i remembered the ai pasta, and spelled it correctly! thank you babble!
yes, i have seen land girls
ha, trif! I thought I saw that earlier and couldn't make it happen, but it's there now.
ai pasta?
it's really more of a condiment
well done, hokie, and I am glad, hurshy - I found it a delightful distraction in isolation
oh
that i have
oh, is that what that is? okay. I am just a font of misinformation today
adagio is my phantom today
ai5 is like a garlicy mayonnaise trif
from france
i'll just stop chogging, I think
the other statue is troublesome, it's a marker commemorating a 1929 reunion of conf. soldiers and talks about the state & city's love and gratitude toward the soldiers
but it does sound like pasta
i think the key is to grab on to what we learned from vietnam. that we should not blame and spit on individual soldiers (unless they are guilty of ordering atrocities like my lai), while we repudiate the powers that send them to fight.
morning all
moo!
hey hoke, just 187 to go for me
won't be long for you to catch me, 18 left, but stuck
ru, you said it was impossible now, how many do you have left?

26 left and very, very stuck
dood morning to you too ori
hehe
howdy doody, ori
hey look, my opie is ALSO in the grid, he is a lo5
just need 1 p
me too hokie :D
I haven't had enough tea yet this morning :D
teeeeeeeaaaaaaa
found it - mexican $$!
oh, i have that one already
I know you have the big ones, how about pe7? (cover your eyes, moo)
do not have pe7!
2 4's left, surely I can monkey something
is it weird? will i need a clue?
it is weird, I used a clue, no definition when you click link
clue please!
starts with our babbler ****winkle, ends with first part of journal
have you seen this toddler "chef" named Roman who has videos online, they are sooooo cute. everything he needs he says, "cheese please" or "sauce please" in the cutest way
have not seen, will have to check out
thanks p is done
thank you!!
well, I'm just thankful the clue worked
:D
ooh, found a twisty 4!
still missing that 2nd te 6 -- anyone have a clue please?
cnan, the second and third look like homonyms
must be one of my missing 2 t's, which tile is it from?
the second is from the lower T, and has a plural for a 7
I just need one from the lower t though
I thought she said the ones I clued were not it
phantoms: worse, worst
three s's to go
this is my last word and there is no plural
I have 2 s's still
Is anyone having trouble with this site?
not me
ruru - would you please clue the 2nd te 6/18?
excuse me, it's the third that has a plural
the second is a homonym of the third tho
I put words in and they won't type into the box or I try to chat and it won't allow me to send.
te + the beginning of bringing back something + vowel nan
we have it all the time
by homonym, you mean sounds the same or means the same?
sounds
got it, thx, ru
homophone i guess is the proper word then? sorry
ty hurshy *!*~*!*
that was throwing me, in my mind they don't sound the same
well it looks like you're right, they don't sound the same, they just looked it to me
yes, homophone sounds the same. just looked up homonym to make sure I knew that - spelled the same but different meanings
sigh
hagd everyone - stay safe :)
I'm going to have to get back to work so moo can catch up. 15 left. BBL
does the au4 car word serve as a prefix for anything today?
no
also, you guys said that the lone A was hard to find? stats?
ag5
thanks
took me a long time to see it for some reason
not exactly a word we use every day
that applies to a lot of things here
finding the D pretty Difficult
couple of hard d's to find
almost all are easy
i need 4
53 to go...MIL called, so was helping her with some phone setup issues
I still need 2 D's. checking back in between stuff but not sitting down here!
#multitasking
must be the couple ru said are hard to find
yep
wow, crazy little fu4/13 and plural
I should probably eat lunch too ;)
yiddish
to mess around hursh
i know, i have them, that's why i was commenting lol
one of my mother's favorite words, hurshy
It was!
i'm more familiar with the pu rhyme for it
HI HONEY!!!!
just 2 d's left too
hello luv!
i'm just late to D party
Very slow start today. I was hit hard yesterday.
BUT, I have 3 dozen cookies to bake, so Babble and then baking!
a certain party here is so anxious over me, it's not even funny - seriously twisted.
aha now i'm down to 2 like the rest of you
and its not the one you think - it's the other one!
Good! He loves you
yay hursh, come join the 2d party!
Leo or Vinnie?!??! LOLOLOLOL
the OTHER One
her's abolutely terrified of me - typhoid mary status
Yeah...he's like that
Are you still feeling well, Trif?
I'm still laughing about that Leo pic...can't believe I never noticed the tongue!
vinnie and leo KILLED their morning walkies today! The amount of poison ivy they have cleared is so cheering
so is ru going to guess our missing 2 D's or not?
Just keep them off the volkswagen diet and they will live long and happy lives!
My friend, Sam, has goats now in her yard too...females...just sayin'....
ha! found the z i was missing - z's zapped!
my goats no longer have the equipment, just saying....
too bad..one looks just like Vincent
25 to go
8 to go
go mooling, go!
go hurshy go!
I have 2 Ds also to fine (along with 19 other words)
we all have the same Dearth
same as me matty...21 to go, including the 2 d's
1 d to go
found one of them, di7
Snap :) (though now I have 20 to go, as I found an easy 5 I'd missed before)
chemistry kind of word
same one as me hursh
I have one di7 (a plural)
no, this is another one
though it has all the same letters ;)
ah, we have that one often (di7)
OK, don't have that one. May I have stats, please?
yeah
7/32, same letters as the one you have
same stats if same letters, matty ;)
Yeah, I typed before reading. Looking@
Found it - thank you!
it means 2 of a 5 letter chemistry word
1 d left now (plus 13 other words)
1 D left now (plus 18 other words)
:D
1 D left now (plus 6 other words)
1D and 17 other words
don't you hate it when you have all the 4s but you keep monkeying 4s anyway
I wonder what my missing 7 is
we could all say what 7s we have, i'm missing 2 of them
Di7 x 2
ee7
fa7
fo7
pe7
pl7
i have di7 x 2, ee7, fa7, pe7, pL7, re7, te7 x 3, to7
re7
it's kinda better if you put them in one post lol
te7 x 3
to7
ok so i need your fo7
Yeah, it probably would have been ;)
The FO7 is weird - think the joke telling bear in The Muppet Show. But more so
got it!
and the 6, which finishes my F words
now everything i have left is a 5, except for the 7 that we are both missing.
Trif...powdie!!!! Its in the grid!
Hah! I'd missed the matching 6. Silly me
Ws Whacked
have 16 left, and 7 are fours
I think I shall get a beer, as it's beer o'clock here.
Cheers!
then you can have fun monkey time
out of my 14, I have one 4 and one 7
hokie is your list of 7s the same as mine?
My 18 consists of four 4s, eight 5s, five 6s and one 7
looks the same, hursh, except for I have fo7 that wasn't in your original list
I still missing the 8s
one is an easy compound word, one is not
well the pl8, it makes some of us think of a star cluster but with a different vowel sound in the first part
and po8 is the compound
well that's one of them...14 words to go
can anyone help with top O? i have op4 and ow4
POWDIE!
I know!!!!!!
those are all I have too, hurshy
oi5
thank you moo!!
yw
thank you moo...that is a strange word
the last 7 is either A, or another D or E
well, not helping me yet, but I'll keep looking
I have an e7
uncommon word
I have e7 too
we have ee7, do you have another?
another one
THEN I NEED THAT!
es7
YES GOT IT
congrats
let me reiterate the complete list of 7s then
not bruce springsteen and the * band
ah, no
but it's in the grid!
di7 x 2, ee7, es7, fa7, fo7, pe7, pL7, re7, te7 x 3, to7
es7 is my missing one
it's another that sounds chemistry oriented
so if we all have the same missing D word, it is a 5
I have an unsual d5
do tell
di5
all the d5s I have are plurals or comparatives
the one I gave is not either
and I have all the d's, so I suspect that's the one you're looking for
i'm sure it is!
well, it's like my brain has gone on strike. not seeing that, or the oi5, or the es7
oi5 is 80% vowels
es sounds like a female hormone
di has the high scoring tile in it
this is all making me dizee
finally got it with morewords lol

ty zooz. I never,ever see that word
Zoom! You're back!!! Shit man, it's okay to say shit in the chat. : D
3 to go....
Hello, Molly. Sorry was on the phone. Oh I had forgotten about that! I was okay the next day haha!
Two s's to go.....
It has never been my intention of being rude in chat and it was obviously a mistake on my part. I was okay next day was just a shock for me to write that word i the wrong box.
Go, Une go!
Have to go parents phoned they need me. No peace for the wicked!
Tx zooz!!
Oh good Zoom. I didn't see you here for a while after that and I thought you had taken it more seriously than you needed to.
Fw!!!
I am hoping to get relubricated tonight with cocktails
Ps: zooz. Other people here use stronger language than that
No shit Ru. I was told to FUCK OFF once.
Exactly
I'm guessing you didn't :-)
Sticks and stones dan
Oh, that old phrase "consider the source" comes to mind

*pe4
Yes Molly, you were indeed told to FUCK OFF, for making a snarky crack about me, having never had one encounter with me prior. You deserved it. You have yet to apologize. But I'm glad to see it's still with you. Yeah, poor, poor Molly. If you had indeed not only considered the source, but knew even one thing about her, you probably wouldn't have made your aggressive, superior than thou remark.
Why don't you both grow up
Back for my last 40, and wow. Not sure who's more snarky, aggressive and/or superior... nor do I care, thankfully. Sigh...
well I don't know....if somebody is claiming that people with issues of sexual trigger words endured things " worse than most of the things Hitler did" I'd think twice before taking anything they say at face value.
I do believe that all my great aunts and uncles and cousins would have gladly endured sexual harrassment rather than inhale zyklon b gas. But hey, that's just me. And Queen Noor is an anti semite.
Right on Harry
did you see IDGAF is in the grid today?
I know you love the acronyms, ru
right hokie.. acronyms are right up there with colonoscopys fpr me .. among my faves
how about aw 4/8? have we had that discussion before and I missed it? is that not an acronym?
i would think it is Rb
... it is ... but it became used enough to be considered as a word ...
Harry, that's not quite what I said. Also. the 2 are separate issues. I am responding to poor Molly, yet again, complaining that I told her to FUCK OFF. She has not clue as to who I am, what my family background is. My parents were both in camps, starved, beaten, tortured. . . I am not Jewish. Jews are human, not perfect by any means, but they have set themselves up as the great sufferers, so we must all watch our steps. No. My mother smuggled 1000's of forged documents to get mostly Jews out of Berlin. You don't want to take that at face value - your loss. your problem. I don't know Harry & it's too late to ask them - but this is not simple sexual harassment that happened during the war - it was done for sadistic pleasure, some people underwent this type of torture for months. My father did, for 8 months in the Lubyanka. Thank the stars he was able to withstand that, only to get to Siberia. But, I'm very willing to wager there were many, many others who would have begged for gas as opposed to going through what he did.
rbud - if you really don't care, don't comment. It's not your fight.
sometimes the kids have the perfect expression for a particular situation: "I literally can't even"
Noor, an anti-Semite? Jordan has been one of the most supportive Arab countries toward Israel.
IT'S NOT A FIGHT AT ALL!! It's a game! And THAT I DO care about. Please take the politics and rants to other places.
No, you can't Harry. Because this is serious stuff, and you clearly know nothing much about it, or how it affects future generations.
rbud - then tell your pal Molly to stop harping on it.
She's not my pal, I'm just not as hair-triggered as you. Nor do I see anyone harping. Well, almost no one.
we all have stories, but there's a time and place. can we leave the chat for encouraging and uplifting people? can it be one place where we can hold our anger and enjoy eachothers mostly anonymous company?
I'm not getting into this. You are not worth it. But you're getting me riled up and I don't like it, so I'm shutting the chat, which I've never done before. I have never encountered you, and I hope I never do again.
Sure, if it were indeed an encouraging and uplifting place ls1. But certain people, Molly for one, are condescending and mean.
Hey, Helen-- I love you (for real)
Seriously, how many more people will get pushed out of babble because of this shit?
Ask Molly, she''s always pulling the trigger. She's the one bringing it up. I will not sit by & take her sniping. Better question is: How many people have already been pushed out because of her?
Back atcha ls1. Long time, no see.
sorry *lib*
Too long-- I tend to lurk unless it's important...
Why not? don't be manipulated by other's snipes, this isn't the place for lashing out in anger. take care of yourself and let others' words roll off. Molly is not part of your life, so don't put the burden or credit on her.
Molly is Molly. Most days, her commentary is relatively benign, and she offers clues and comments like everyone else. She is overly snarky and critical, and sometimes slips over the line to be unkind. Granted. But at least in the chat I can see from scrolling, Molly made one snipe and you, helen, turned it into a litany of complaint. I get it. I understand your hurt feelings, and I support you. But look around at all the others in this chat, who maybe don't want to relive every fight here. I'm sorry to say it helen, but it's draining my emotional energy to see a protracted fight most times I look at chat.
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
why not assume that Molly has her own story, as does everyone. why not err on the side of kindness (thanks nrkii)
Might as well say hk is hk. Used to chat up a storm, left for a long time, came back, only to find a little comment I made was harshly rebutted with 'what else I should be doing." I am also not the one always bringing it up. I haven't once. But I will not let her slither by as if she is the wounded party here.
right now, this country this reached the boiling point where people can no longer stand the Racism, cruelty and abuse of the innocent by armed thugs-- we should all be so sensitized by what's going on & be really aware of how thoughtless words can bring horrible acts of unthinkable cruelty to mind...
I've watched that kindness strategy & it doesn't work on her. Once a person is on her naughty list, the shunning begins. Can't take the credit for that one, someone told me that was the pattern.
*has*
{HK} getting shunned by Molly is really not the worst thing. And Molly, I'm sorry I'm being blunt, but I know you are aware that sometimes you go too far. Every once in a while, it's important someone says "fuck off" to remind us when we do go too far. So feel free to say that to me now. :)
My icon suggests that I don't care-- it's a front...
And with that, I'll leave my babble grid for the night. May cooler heads prevail another night.
thank you nrkii
of course nrkii it all depends on who says fuck off doesn't it
don't fuck off, nrkii!
how's that ru?
depends on what?
Actually, nevermind. I don't care what you think. Go make a pun about it.
I wasn't speaking to you so please go ahead and never mind
HK, I am curious ... what did Molly say today?
I ask because I can't see anything offensive.
I think that the family of (yet another) Black man shot in the BACK by Fascist thugs (police) would be very sensitive to any bigoted, racist comments-- we should all be very careful of what we say as to not cause another pain...
can we all call an immediate halt to this topic. It is sickening. We all have enough to worry about right now.
Hear, hear, saanich.
My neighbor is going through her manic stage. Blaring rap music, talking in a very loud voice in the back yard ALL DAY LONG. Her husband likes her this way so he is out there with her. They kept me up until 2 a.m. last night. Sigh.
I feel for you. That's got to be so frustrating.
Thanks. She was going on today at unbelievable decibels today about how she wasn't going to teach her children to be afraid of breathing and there would be no mask-wearing in their household. Of course, she's an anti-vaxxer also.
Yikes! The neighbor from Hell!
cooee and g'day from me
Indeed. Her husband is actually pretty cool, though.
Hi, rose
I guess she does something right :D
Mental health is a real problem. No clue what the answer is for that, esp if the husband won't help.
Even with a lot of help, the mentally ill seldom live normal lives. But some meds would probably help her.
Sure. If she'd take them consistently.
airest
Poo....sorry!
sending out prayers for those who will take them and positive vibes for those who prefer them. i am thinking of you all this day, and every night. it must be horrible to have such divisiveness on one's own doorstep, so to speak. the protests etc are on going here too. it's heart-breaking to hear the histories of these suffering peoples.
at this end of my life i realise just how privileged my childhood was.
thanks granny. it's time for all of us to be quiet and think of our own complicity in maintaining the system of horrors. We just need to shut up and hear the voices of those victims, be patient and find ways to fix our complacency.
and that's the end of my political speech, now on to the game.
I'm queueing up Nick Lowe, What's so Funny With Peace, Love and Understanding. I am trying to find music that helps my mind these days.
*funny bout, rather
