2nd col grey!

12:37 am

Opened the puzzle at about 10:14 and it showed 286 words. Spent twenty minutes adding words and just a few minutes ago it went from 286 words to 190 words, but all the words we entered since we started are still showing up in the list. So for example 'carpet' is in our list, though it isn't in the puzzle any more. Ideas?

12:37 am

refresh

12:38 am

Three or four times refreshed, but the old word list is still there.

12:38 am

Hi all, diving in, plonkty doink

halfway done, nbt, bye 4 now

7:13 am

Here is a sample of how many of these idiotic tarrifs are going to play out: Trump says 25% more for us to sell aluminum to american companies--in this case, a company that makes tall boy beer cans for export. The can company, in turn will pass along the 25% to is consumers--in this case Molson Canada, who in turn will charge consumers extra to offset the new cost of the cans. Should these cans of fine Canadian beer get exported to the U.S the bars will pay 25% more for thise cans of beer--the cost of which gets passed down the line to the U.S beer drinker...Is this making America great again??? To top this all off,we do not have the infrastructure in Canada to make "tall boy" cans, but we do make the 355ml beer cans, so our Trump solution is to keep our aluminum, make our own cans, and sit back and wait for the U.S to ask us to build them airplanes--which we fill with cans of beer because the U.S can company cannot get enough aluminum at a good price. It boggles the mind. We are too interwoven for this nonsense. It is a horrible game with no winners.

7:18 am

How I came up with the J words.

7:19 am

Oh, and good morning. :)

7:19 am

I dont believe I have ever see that JN word before.

7:20 am

My brain: "what if banana, but with J" Game: "J-word added" My face: O.O

7:21 am

Us old farts will compare that to the "Name Game" song, lol!

7:23 am

HI CROSSY, so glad you are back playing babble more. have missed you. regarding the chief idiot, i am wonderig

7:25 am

Aww, thank you, Nancy. Missed you as well. :)

7:25 am

wondering how i am going to survive the blitz of the orange monster for 4 more years. One way is to ignore all the political shows i used to watch. Thanks for the view from Canada. I was born and raised in Detroit so spent many fun times in Canada.

7:29 am

Well if he steals Canada there will be about fourty million extra democtatic votes in the voting pool, so he will be out by year two, if that is any consolation. :)

7:29 am

Democratic

7:30 am

Hopefully, Canada will remain our friend

7:31 am

and understand that this will pass.

7:32 am

A madman somehow bought his way into power. We do not have our American friends for this; we think of it as an illness, and we wish you all a fast recovery.

7:32 am

For me, I am most worried about the decline of American health--the NIH and CDC are being decimated, and RFK, Jr will cause vaccination rates to plummet.

7:33 am

Yes, Trumps likes to keep a frenzy going of all fronts--diversion, distraction, division.

7:34 am

Total chaos. The fools that worship him don't know the dangers ahead.

7:35 am

Here, we are getting our shots more than ever. We see the jammed ER rooms, we know what needs to be done.

7:36 am

COVID causes immune suppression, especially repeated infections, so people are sicker than ever.

7:36 am

Today, in our home town hospital, there is a five hour wait to be seen.

7:36 am

C-AIDS = COVID AIDS

7:36 am

Scrab, so many things to worry about and the blitz is ongoing. Muskrat and the Felon are going to get their doomsday one way or another. I pray soon. The fools that follow this total disaster may never wake up but I pray some sense comes to them when it hits home with a personal issue.

7:37 am

Unless you cannot breathe, or you are having a heart attack, or bleeding out.

7:37 am

We need people with spines and character to fight back.

7:38 am

Hospitals are collapsing due to the volume of sick people. Health providers are burned out and ill too.

7:39 am

Canada and Mexico are fighting--trust me, but we are doing so surgically with deep planning as to proceed. We are not going to do knee-jerk responses to the Felon.

7:40 am

If avian flu mutates to allow human-to-human transmission we will be in an apocalypse. Bird flu in the past has had a fatality rate of 40-50%!

7:40 am

For example, as of this week, U.S companies can no long secure Canadian government contracts.

7:41 am

Trudeau is being tough, fortunately.

7:41 am

I do not know the answer for Trump and Muscrat undermining your health system though. :(

7:41 am

I thought Justin was out of power but I see him on the news. Did Canada decide to keep him?

7:42 am

He is here until the end of March, I believe.

7:42 am

Maybe personal experience, i.e. death in their families, will change their views.

7:44 am

Will Canada stay strong with a new leader?

7:46 am

I am definitely on team Canada so I hope there are enough strong willed and intelligent people to withstand this ridiculous situation brought on by a cruel and ruthless idiot who now is in power.

7:47 am

Yes

7:47 am

Depends who ends up in office, but by the end of March we will have oretty much figured out how we are going to play this.

7:48 am

We are alreay making deals With the E.U, GB, snd Cina, we are eliminating any inter-provincial trade barriers.

7:48 am

China*

7:49 am

We have cancelled Tesla and Starlink contracts.

7:49 am

JT has been acting very "presidential."

7:51 am

If anything, J.D is even worse, because you can tell that billionaires and big companies will ride him like a cheap rented mule.

7:51 am

please keep us posted. What you have shared about the deals being made warms my heart and gives me some hope.

7:52 am

I meant Justin Trudeau. JD is a dope.

7:52 am

I so hope you guys can get out from under this disaster.

7:53 am

Ahh my mistake, not 100%awake yet.

7:54 am

J.T is actually handling this quite well--as well as chaos can be handled.

7:55 am

that is one of the keys....dont react with panic and fear and threats, that is just what the

7:55 am

I have been impressed. OK, I need to get things done. Enjoy the day.

7:55 am

Citizens are doing their bit as well. We are trying to buy Canadian to the exclusion of all else.

7:55 am

felon wants.

7:55 am

Tc, scrabby.

7:57 am

Lovely to have you back and nice to have a conversation. I will still be here. have not entered a word in 30 minutes.

7:57 am

We are also making seperate bi-lateral trade deals with Mexico, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

7:58 am

Lol,ty, Nancy. Though when I am in the groove I do tent to yammer on a bit. :)

7:58 am

Can I come and live with you for the next four years?

7:59 am

Lol! Make you some good bacon!

8:00 am

Have some dry cured maple smoked bacon on hand right now. :)

8:01 am

Brb. Pups need to pee.

8:02 am

sounds delicious. When I was growing up and we had your bacon, it was always a treat. It is the best.

wait, are we talking bacon or canadian bacon, which reminds me of ham

and maple flavor makes me want to hurl, no offense to you canadians :D

8:36 am

canadian bacon and maple enhances the flavor even more.

and good morning, folks. not liking the first tile I'm looking at

8:37 am

which is?

8:37 am

The P is ridiculous. I can't believe there are 30.

I'm just on the C. only found 2.

8:38 am

They're normal.

up to 4 now

8:39 am

the c is good and easy with real words, what a refreshing thought

all ch?

8:39 am

they are all ch words

8:40 am

Yes

forgot the seeds

still missing one but moving on

8:47 am

'morning, folks

welki!

8:49 am

Rehi. :)

8:50 am

hi carla, crossy

hey crossy

8:51 am

Nancy, what you think of as "canadian bacon" we call peameal bacon--unlike regular "streaky" bacon.

8:53 am

Had to run to the store just now for some butter, so I was thinking of you and grabbed some applewood smoked bacon. :)

8:53 am

SO was i always having peameal bacon? The bacon we called canadian bacon resembled ham.

8:53 am

That is peameal bacon.

8:53 am

and was circular in nature

8:54 am

there's peameal bacon, and back bacon - peameal is coated with cornmeal, back bacon isn't

8:54 am

(they both look like ham)

8:54 am

so what is streaky bacon?

yeah, I don't think I've seen peameal

I think streaky bacon is what we call bacon

8:54 am

hahaha - actually, back bacon is peameal bacon with the coating

in strips with the streaks of fat

8:55 am

Regular sliced bacon.

8:55 am

yeah, streaky = regular ol' bacon

8:55 am

there's also middle back bacon, which is streaky and back bacon in one piece

8:56 am

well the bacon i had was not coated with anything and looking a little like ham and was circular and delicious.

8:56 am

Back bacon.

that's mcdonald's egg mcmuffin meat ;)

8:56 am

yeppers

and I'd rather have streaky bacon any day over that

8:57 am

We take our bacon seriously. Lol!

8:57 am

or maybe just ham - hard to believe they'd spend the extra $$ on back bacon

8:57 am

making me hungry. have only had coffee so far

8:58 am

i had my bacon lessons in england - now, that's a country that takes their bacon to heart

how many different bacons in a full english breakfast?

8:58 am

i think three

8:58 am

Tat least two.

8:59 am

plus sausages, maybe some kidneys

8:59 am

I have brown sugar and applewood sausages in the fridge. :

9:00 am

now i want breakfast

lol

9:00 am

nancy, i'll pick you up on the way :D

9:01 am

For you guys fighting the avian bird flu our egss just crept over $3.50/dozen.

I've heard of egg shortages and ridic prices, but I haven't seen it yet.

9:01 am

About$2.90 U.S.D

I think ours was already more than that

9:02 am

i'm in az right now - paid $5.49 a couple of days ago at safeway

9:03 am

thanks welki, ready for a great canadian breakfast...btw our eggs are 7 to 9 a dozen and now limited as to how many you can buy

last time I bought some was in FL and I don't remember how much, but there were plenty on the shelf

9:04 am

We have an egg farm about 30 min away. If I go there I can get a flat of XL eggs for six dollars.

phantom modular

9:04 am

well that has sure changed. some of the stores are completely empty and have no eggs at any price.

I could probably find some local eggs around here

9:05 am

Sadly, we are now getting report of the first cases of bird flu from our border towns. :(

where are you in FL, nancy? this was maybe 2 weeks ago in Ocala, and then I saw plenty on the shelf in Fernandina last week.

9:06 am

so when should i get my ticket to fly to canada crossy?

9:07 am

Lol, Nancy, with the current rate of exchange you could live like a queen on your Canadian vacation.

ok, I'm assuming the J has to be JH?

9:07 am

i am in Melbourne area, on the ocean side down about 30 miles from where the rockets are launched

9:07 am

Jn

that was nice I got to see a rocket launch when we were at Amelia

9:08 am

Oh yes, we have no jn****, we have no Jn5 today...

lol, thanks

not sure I've ever seen that

9:09 am

Melbourne was named after our sister city, Melbourne

oh, a proper noun, concept in indian religions. why, enable? I thought there were no proper nouns.

9:09 am

australia

9:09 am

Guess what my last name is, Nancy. :)

melbourne, crossy?

9:10 am

Yup

9:10 am

I remember, it is Melbourne

ha

9:10 am

We have a history with our aussie mates.

9:12 am

another reason i should move from Melbourne to the Melbourne houshold lol

9:13 am

Are there any clues for the jn words please?

crossy just gave a musical one

9:13 am

ends in a womans name, and pl

9:13 am

When Queen Victoria was still a comely young princess, she had a "pesonal mentor" who was allowed to take liberties with the princess--even at the advanced aged of 54. Guess his name. Lol

at 9:08, old song, maybe it never made it across the pond

9:14 am

I am not getting that. lol

9:14 am

AND my birthday is the same as Queen Victorias May 24th.

9:15 am

Curved yellow fruit

the song is actually about the yellow fruit that is associated with monkeys

9:15 am

Lord Melbourne

9:15 am

Ding! Ding!

9:16 am

thank you

9:16 am

He was a dirty old letch leith gout. Lol

9:16 am

Letch with*

9:17 am

I am only sightly better. :)

so close to a tiara today, medusa

9:17 am

Many close ties to Canada, My mother was born in Saskatuwan (sp) and my uncles in Regina. They all migrated to the US

9:18 am

Very carla.

almost remnant too

9:23 am

Ugh, after many years of using only butter, I had to use some margerine this morning for my toast. Darn stuff tastes like chemical soup. :(

my mom always bought "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" brand. I would always say, I can.

9:24 am

Tell ya what though....if you make the Fantasy Fudge recipe from the Kraft Marshmallow Creme jar, the result is actually better with margarine than with butter.

I'll tell you this, you should use the one that used to be on the jar, not the one that's currently on the jar

I don't know why they changed it

9:26 am

My teeth are a steriotypical British born disaster. No fantasy fudge for Crossy. :)

bless it

9:27 am

Though everyone is getting full dental coverage now as the universal dental care rolls out. :) I may have to get an overhaul.

I have like 8 teeth with fillings if that makes you feel better

9:28 am

pi7 please?

9:28 am

i'd like to see that in alberta, crossy - along with coverage for continuous glucose monitors (like you have in ontario)

9:29 am

Yes my beloved is type 2, and her arm sensors and injections are all covered.

9:29 am

wait, what did they change???

9:29 am

Oddly enough she weight 115 pounds soaking wet.

9:29 am

on the Fantasy Fudge recipe, that is....

9:30 am

Because my mom has been making it my whole life (50 years), if not more, and she said she just follows the recipe on the jar, and the taste has not changed in the least.

not sure I have a jar on hand but I did copy the recipe from the original. hold on. I think one of the things is they say to use the choc bar and chop it up instead of choc chips, which shouldn't change the taste, just the ease of making it.

9:32 am

Oh, yeah, I know my mom uses chocolate chips. (I've been trying to duplicate for years what my mom does, but I can't get it QUITE right. Even did a batch under her supervision and it wasn't quite the same.)

my mom always made it too

here's the old: 3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) margarine 3 c sugar 2/3 c evaporated milk 1 pkg (12 oz) semi-sweet choc chips 1 jar (7 oz) Marshmallow Creme 1 tsp vanilla

9:34 am

A mothers touch cannot be packaged,

I will find the current one online

9:35 am

urns

for many years after I started making it, I would have to call my mom, "am I supposed to use a metal spoon or not use a metal spoon?" the answer is, do NOT use a metal spoon because it will make it grainy.

9:35 am

ured

9:35 am

OMG, sorry....ughghg...

9:35 am

(This is why I rarely use the chat!)

9:36 am

Next time give me someting I can use, dauber. Lol

well, maybe I won't find the current one online. google is only giving me everyone's "original" recipe

9:38 am

Well, all that talk got me going. Bacon is cooking in the air fryer. Get your butt up here, Nancy. Breffast is in 15 minutes!

ok, looks like the only difference is the chocolate

9:39 am

OH IF time travel was available, I would be there for sure.

9:40 am

here's a link to the recipe, found on the back of the jar (for sale on amazon, so probably the current recipe)https://tinyurl.com/5dms4hev

9:41 am

Today is soft boiled brown eggs and toast soldier, with home fries and a few rashers of bacon. We are not buying O.J now, so fresh Canadian apple juice squeezed from local apples.

9:41 am

going to have to settle for an english muffin and NO bacon for my breakfast today.you are making me drool.

9:42 am

Lol!

9:45 am

Juice so cold,crisp, and clean that you can almost smell the tree it was plucked from as you drink it.

9:46 am

In this case Macintosh or Spy apples.

9:46 am

stop it, cant take anymore

9:46 am

Food porn. :)

9:46 am

for sure, you tease you

well, 47 left and HOET after first pass. not the easiest for me.

9:53 am

It is a tough one--main reson I am chattering away here; can only dig out a word every five minutes or so. :/

9:54 am

9:55 am

9:55 am

thank you

9:56 am

9:57 am

9:57 am

Extend for the 8 pen

9:58 am

Have it now but thank you.

9:58 am

well i was going to try that, ty....

9:58 am

now looking for the un 7

9:58 am

9:58 am

10:01 am

UN 7 is pl of the 6

10:02 am

un 6/27

10:03 am

ty, nancy....didn't have that 6 but i do now... ;o)

10:03 am

10:04 am

thank you

10:11 am

good morning :)

10:12 am

hi nan...

10:13 am

Howdy, Cybernan. :)

10:14 am

gotta go...leaving 48 for later...bye all...

10:15 am

Tc, Pen.

10:18 am

just through the chog -- have also switchd to the locally produced apple juice, crossy. I could use a clue for that pi 7-8 please

10:20 am

well this American plans on visiting Canada this summer and supporting the local economay

10:21 am

We live in a "apple belt," so there is no shortage.

10:21 am

ty ru

10:21 am

that was economy

10:21 am

Ty for your voice of support, Ruru. :)

10:22 am

... just wait till he trims benefits in social security... all hell is going to break loose.

10:23 am

I thought the courts said he couldn't do that

10:23 am

I see he is already firing federal worker left and right.

10:24 am

I also hear he wants to kill off food assistance orograms,

10:24 am

Programs.

10:24 am

Let's face it -- he is taking all the steps on the road to dictatorship. Soon he will rename himself Fuhrer and start invading the rest of the NA countries.

10:25 am

I think, in the end, if he wanted to "do a Putin" on Canada, we would simply join the E.U community.

10:26 am

I don't think the EU community wants him

10:26 am

Not him--us

10:27 am

oh - misread that -- yes I think we should anyway.

10:27 am

I didn't vote for him and I live in a Blue state

10:28 am

I feel bad that good Americans got caught up in this s**tstorm.

10:28 am

all of our canned goods are going up -- aluminum gets taxed going south and again coming north as cans

10:29 am

I might have to give up diet soda

10:29 am

Lol, read my rant on that in the chog archives today.

10:31 am

My writer muse is in full swing today. :)

10:32 am

pi 7-8 please?

10:33 am

I need a clue on this as well--preferrably not by posting another word that I dont have. :)

10:34 am

pi7/8 is like the players name from oregon

10:35 am

without the k

10:35 am

uhh

10:35 am

what kind of player?

10:35 am

...

10:35 am

babble player

10:35 am

don't know any oregon teams

10:35 am

Reminds me of a pe word that means a long stretch of land that is surrounded by water but attached to the mainland.

10:36 am

oh. can't rem. who here is from OR

10:36 am

or who here has a k in their name

10:36 am

thanks, champ. got it!

10:36 am

so it's my fault you guys have crappy memories :D

10:36 am

I have the word and still can't figure out who he means

10:36 am

thank goodness! Thought it might have been too awkward to work.

10:37 am

pinikula

10:37 am

Just finished...anything else I can help with?

10:37 am

oh, I def don't remember that player, sorry, pinikula

10:37 am

ty champ

10:37 am

Ty, champ. :)

10:37 am

congrats, champ

10:37 am

now that I have the word, I remember the player's name

10:38 am

Thanks. In other news, my youngest got engaged last night! Exciting times.

10:38 am

Great clue!

10:38 am

Yaa!

10:38 am

congrats!

10:39 am

Thanks. He's had the ring for a week, so took his sweet time. Told him no take backs, he's stuck with her! Hagd everyone!

10:39 am

Pups need to pee again. Brb

10:39 am

bye champ

10:40 am

<---hokie in three years .. what was that player's name

10:40 am

rockhead?

10:40 am

engaged on Valentine's Day -- not many men are that romantic.

10:41 am

maybe they played when I was on my hiatus

10:41 am

and I really didn't chat much before my hiatus

10:41 am

it's smart on his part... he'll never forget his anniversary

10:43 am

oh - no guarantees there, ru!

10:46 am

carla - the players name began with the faded red colour

10:48 am

Hello, friends.

10:48 am

Congrats to Champ!

10:48 am

hi bea

10:48 am

hi there bea

10:48 am

Howdy. Bzz.

10:49 am

I was told this morning that I am to be a grandma again.

10:50 am

Still in shock.

10:50 am

grats bea -- how many will this be?

10:51 am

#8

10:51 am

holy cow bea

10:52 am

you are catching up --- may what happened to us will happen to you --- #8 turned out to be twins!

10:54 am

congrats bea

10:54 am

My son does not want children, but my younger brother is already a grandpa x2

10:54 am

just what we need more Chiefs fans :D

10:54 am

well, my youngest told me last night that he got a date for his frat function tonight, so that's about all I've heard from either one of my boys.

10:55 am

Thanks, folks. I was hoping that we were done with the diapers.

10:55 am

oh, doing something else helped - first col gray!

10:56 am

well if Melania isn't done with them you shouldn't be bea :D

10:58 am

My youngest daughter is why I have aged so quickly. =) She was a handful and still is. Her two children are as sweet as can be until they aren't.

11:07 am

getting hungry - bbl

11:08 am

Poor child. Imagine being born into the Trump family...

11:09 am

The Felon and the porn star--sounds like an eighties sit-com.

11:12 am

Hey Cross, your ignorance is showing.

11:13 am

Is it? Please elaborate.

11:13 am

With cited sources, if you have them.

11:15 am

If you wish to go in depth my addy is p.a.melbourne@gmail.com and we can unpack it all properly.

11:16 am

it seems to me that no one is quite as ignorant as a trumper.

11:19 am

When citing sources please, no Fox News, and no Wikpedia. :)

11:21 am

Get over yourself - We had to put up with a senile, ill-tempered, joke of a President and a cackling dimwit hen of a VP for 4 years. And I will cite whoever I want to cite. Just be happy Trump has taken over your sorry country.

11:21 am

Here we go.

11:23 am

good idea - go

11:24 am

and good riddance

11:24 am

Lol, M.A.G.A acolytes are funny.

11:24 am

Thankful for Trump? We are uneasy all the way over here in the UK that youve landed the world with a felon megalomaniac without a grain of sense. Aren't you more embarrased every time he opens his mouth? Hell, I'm embarassed for the USA. I completely agree Crosshair.

11:25 am

You guys lost 200 years ago. Get over it

11:25 am

hies

11:25 am

Your hate is a bad look Knight Agree with you too crossshair.

11:26 am

So funny. Keep your guns close little man. That moron is going to cost you all very dearly.

11:26 am

My Hate? This forum is filled with hate

11:26 am

Only since you got here Knight. Go away.

11:27 am

No - I am the bad infection no antibiotic will touch

11:27 am

Lerts just ignore the troll. The feed on attention.

11:27 am

Yes go back to your echo chamber

11:28 am

Sounds like a plan granadan.

11:28 am

disappointment on my part knight.. not hate... I guess it is great Trump stopped the Ukraine war in his first day in office...oh wait.. he didn't.. but at least eggs are back to normal pricing.. oh wait they aren't...

11:28 am

And theres the attention seeking personality disorder type comments *cue hysterical laughter*

11:31 am

he's not a troll granadan.. he's entitled to his beliefs.. he's a very smart guy at least in previous discussions

11:32 am

Not when he spews hate ruru. Sorry, but not sorry.

11:33 am

I rarely comment. I never run down England or Canada or any other country. I just don't get all the hatred towards Trump. And tell me the crap Cybernan posts is not hate?

11:33 am

You dont get the hate??????!!!

11:34 am

No I don't

11:34 am

Have you actually seen what Trump is doing?

11:34 am

Yes - some I agree with and some I don't.

11:36 am

which ones don't you agree with KT?

11:36 am

I get the hatred towards Trump. I don't get the America hating though and there is a lot of that on this forum.

11:37 am

Making Canada the 51st state for starters.

11:38 am

I am not a big fan of tariffs either, although I like the idea of reciprocity.

11:41 am

Trump is a flawed human. So am I. So is everyone. He's coarse in his language and provocative. I just get sick of coming into this game and seeing people who are not citizens of this country running down the President and spewing hate towards America. THen I make one comment and people tell me go away.

11:42 am

you're forgetting he is a convicted criminal too KT.. just sayin

11:42 am

Don't have to be a US citizen to see the issues he is causing, NOT ONLY IN AMERICA, but across the world!

11:42 am

Sorry Knight, but when the leader of your country threatens mine, I think I have every right to comment.

11:43 am

Ok cybernan - but I don't - got it

11:43 am

I didn't forget he'

11:43 am

I do not hate the U.S or its citizens. Sadly Trumps reach is global, and that is the issue.

11:44 am

I didn't forget he's a convicted felon. Neither did the electorate of this country.

11:44 am

Threaten my country and I respond. That is all.

11:46 am

We all respond.

11:46 am

I don't understand why all Americans aren't terrified by his just taking over the government, dismantling parts of it and systematically nullifying the watchdogs without any recourse to congress or the courts.

11:46 am

And him allowing Musk to go through sensitive records.

11:48 am

With the house and the senste the way it is there are simply few checks and balances to stop any of this.

11:49 am

No ruru, theres a limit to the intolerance and crap you can excuse as "rights to an opinion". We dont hate the uSA, we are just astounded that the idiots in charge of your country get as far as they do! And thats saying lots cos we have some dangerous morons here.

11:51 am

So people are not entitled to their opinions about things?

11:51 am

I honestly don't have much fear of him trying to assimilate Canada. He secretly does not want it because that would be too many democratic votes.

11:53 am

I think he's stupidly picked on Canada for no reason whatsoever. the amount of Fentanyl coming in from Canada is miniscule ... I think Mexico could do a lot more about the cartels and the border, so I'm not riled about that. His policies with Canada are not going to go anywhere other than causing inflation here like it's already started to do.

11:53 am

You can say it, but I do not have to think its ok.

11:54 am

We JUST intercepted nine million dollar of cocaine coming from U.S.

11:54 am

hans

11:55 am

I thought you guys had enough snow cross

11:55 am

KT, I thank you for sharing your perspective.

11:55 am

Lol!

11:55 am

That's fine. You are not obligated to agree with anyone. But Knight was met with some pretty nasty comments when he stated his opinion. Not just "I don't agree"

11:55 am

All I can say is that as a loyal Canadian just the idea that he thinks he can dictate to us and make Canada join USA is insulting. I do not hate Americans and I do not want to find ourselves at war with the USA either. On the other hand, I do not believe that appeasement is the correct policy for us either.

11:55 am

I enjoy oposing views as long as they are factual.

11:57 am

Yes, Knight, the reponses may have been a bit harsh, but we are wound up now, and fighting for our country.

11:58 am

ah so Knight is llowed to voice his opinion but we aren't. Riiiii-iiight..... Unsurprised.

12:00 pm

Imagine the chaos if his %100 auto sector tarrifs come to pass. We are not going to be mellow about it.

12:00 pm

I never said you were not allowed to express your opinion. Expressing an opinion and saying nasty things to people are two different things.

12:02 pm

Find something nasty? If someone wants to say "No - I am the bad infection no antibiotic will touch" then suggesting they have some kind of personality or grandiose weird psychological issue or are simply drunk is factual. Not nasty.

12:02 pm

Maybe we can work a deal with the Aussies. Love their Hilux brand of vehicles. :)

12:02 pm

I'm not really sure what his real beef is with Canada to begin with. Sure some people try to come across the border but nothing like mexico.. sure some drugs come across the border but nowhere near as dangerous as the inflow from Mexico.

12:03 pm

It is a distraction, ruru. He wants something else.

12:03 pm

Or the Japanese -- I'll stick with my Honda -- except that they are produced partyly in the USA and partly in Canada

12:03 pm

I think Nan is a pot farmer and she doesn't like him impeding business :D

12:04 pm

Spot on Cross

12:05 pm

I think he sees Trudeau as weak because Justin made such a big effort to ensure inclusivity in his government.

12:05 pm

trump wants white yes men in every phase of government

12:05 pm

Cybernan. We havea Honda plant here in Allison.

12:06 pm

Alliston.

12:08 pm

We will just import cars from our free trade Partners.

12:08 pm

Telling people to go away because you disagree is nasty.

12:09 pm

she overreacted a bit molly.. it's a touchy subject for a lot of the commonwealth

12:09 pm

I never told him to go away. But I agree with the person who did.

12:09 pm

right on ru -- I have such a huge back yard for growing pot! How many plants fit on a postage stamp?

12:10 pm

LOL nan

12:10 pm

you old pothead

12:10 pm

I dont believe you can averreact to anyone supporting wht is going on. Maybe working in healthcare means we see another side of it, but right now if you arent terrified, you arent paying attention.

12:10 pm

So people with a differing point of view are not welcome here?

12:11 pm

Here, we can grow six plants for personal use. :)

12:12 pm

never smoked it and don't intend to start now

12:12 pm

I cant lkeep them oput MollyL but in real liofe I'm choosy about ho I spend my time with. Hateful and dangerous asshole supporters don't fit that bill. Especially when their bio proclaims their "christianity", gun addiction nd goes on about earning their own money as if thats something to be proud of and not a baseline. Do some people want a medal or a chest to pin it on?

12:12 pm

Though I no longer have the lungs for smoking it. :/

12:13 pm

since it was legalized here pot shops are like Walgreens - one on every corner.

12:13 pm

Can you really Cross? We can own seeds but if we put them in soil its an offence.

12:13 pm

Yup, we have seven weed shops in our town of 26,000

12:14 pm

We can, granadan.

12:14 pm

Oh wow! Amsterdam is only four or five hours by motorbike from me, but each time I go I get seduced by a certain amazing steakhouse and go no further.

12:14 pm

Though you can only buy one ounce for each transaction at the shops.

12:15 pm

Marijuana production has gone beyond smoking a joint.

12:15 pm

Yup, pop,beer, candy, chocolate bars, THC oills. They have it all.

12:15 pm

Oils

12:16 pm

Edible oils

12:17 pm

True Bzz. When I was a teen you knew what you were getting. We are turning up to callouts and finding kids in proper messes with super strong skunk and all sorts of weird stuff now. Was much more predictable in the 80s!

12:17 pm

what is the name of the steakhouse? I really want to take that tulips and windmills cruise (Amsterdam to Antwerp and back) if I can find someone to travel with.

12:17 pm

Buy the weed first, granadan--then eat two steaks. :)

12:17 pm

Pot was never in my radar either Nan, but when my shoulder acts up I've been known to take a few hits.. it's legal here in California

12:18 pm

Get the gummies, ru.

12:18 pm

Wise advice. The typical "one bite out of everything in the fridge" scenario

12:18 pm

I use 20mg THC capsules for my arthritis.

12:19 pm

they're really expensive here bea.. I would they're milder

12:19 pm

Nan, book the trip! You can make friends on the cruise.

12:19 pm

I just use extra strength Tylenol

12:19 pm

Keep talking. I'm trying to limit codeine for a rotator cuff issue and looking for alternatives

12:19 pm

Tylenol rots my gut, sadly.

12:20 pm

tylenol does nothing for me.. it's like the decaf of pain relievers

12:20 pm

I don't feel comfortable travelling that far on my own Bea.

12:20 pm

Nan! Shout me. I'll meet you, no problem. Let me go hunt through my reviews on tripadvisor for the name.

12:20 pm

Codeine is terrible long term. You end up pooping rabbit pellets.

12:20 pm

granadan - the name of the steakhouse is?

12:21 pm

Hang on Nan, Im just going hunting for it.

12:21 pm

Plus it is not good for the kidneys.

12:23 pm

Granadan, I reccomend a 20mg THC edible oil twice a day.

12:25 pm

Is also good for palsy issues.

12:25 pm

Lessens the shakes.

12:29 pm

$20 and a bottle lasts a long, long time.

12:36 pm

Won't take Japanese tea. Bummer. :)

12:37 pm

A show on Netflix, Better Call sa4. :)

12:38 pm

Nan, it has GONE! It is now called La Place and is right by a hotel called Van der Valk Schiphol. But if you want to go touring europe, please shout me. Come to UK, I'll drive. I spend a couple of months exploring every year by bike.

12:39 pm

Cross, I'm neither confiming nor denying the rbbit pellets. Aware of the kidney issues hence using half as much as prescribed and hence being 100% functional only half the time.

12:39 pm

Touring Europe must be fun. Here, we can drive for two days and still be in the same orovince. :)

12:40 pm

Province.

12:41 pm

we'll see granadan -- would love to meet you, but I won't be alone if I come. I'm too old to be traipsing around the world on my own.

12:43 pm

down to 6 - bbl

12:43 pm

My uncle and his family used to pop across the channel and spend a weekend in Spain--here I once drove four hours just to get a hamburger. Lol!

12:46 pm

Nan, shout me at info@thebikermidwife.co.uk Anytime. Cars seat 5 x

1:34 pm

cybernan, book the cruise as a single and you will meet friends. Had to get caught up on the chat. We were on a cruise and meet a couple from Nova Scotia. We have stayed in contact. They get a condo every winter in Florida. We have been invited to join them for a bit. My Canadian friends are the only reason I'm flying across the Gulf de Gringo Loco to Florida.

1:36 pm

LOL @ Gulf de Gringo Loco

2:13 pm

It is funny. I saw the ref to Gulf of GRingo Loco when I was in Mexico last week. But please call it by its name. It IS the Gulf of Mexico and where I grew up.

2:18 pm

It will always be the

2:18 pm

Gulf of Mexico

2:27 pm

Any one have a clue for the un6.21?

2:32 pm

To remove what you hammer

2:33 pm

Thanks, Molly.

2:36 pm

Namaste

3:26 pm

hello everyone

3:26 pm

if anyone is still here that is :)

3:27 pm

Batten down the hatches, I am back. I promise to go easy on the polotics,

3:28 pm

Will talk about bacon instead. :)

3:29 pm

Damn typos.

3:31 pm

How is, mael this fine day?

3:32 pm

waiting for snow and then ice, boo

3:32 pm

you don't have to go easy on the politics with me, it's such a shitshow

3:32 pm

alas!

3:33 pm

We are getting another storm as we speak.

3:33 pm

Roads are a mess.

3:33 pm

on its way here too

3:33 pm

I forget how far north you are crossy

3:35 pm

Not too bad--just central Ontario. When we lived further north it was more exciting. Things like taking the snowmobile to work for a week or being sniwe

3:36 pm

Being snowed in for four days. That used to be fun,

3:36 pm

that does sound fun

3:36 pm

we've just been getting messy storms these past few years, very few blockbusters

3:38 pm

Well, if you are going to get winter you may as well enjoy it. Our snwmoblie club used to do pharmacy runs to people stuck at home.

3:38 pm

Snowmobile*

3:39 pm

But as the years pass winter is just a shadow of what it used to be.

3:44 pm

The kids would go up on the rooves and unbury the vents for pocket money. Five bucks a roof back then.:)

3:46 pm

I worked for sn independant dairy in Erin in 1980--one of the last to still do home delivery for veterans. Once the temperatures fell below minus 40, we used to just keep the trucks idling all night long.

3:48 pm

The boss was a war vet, so any veteran in town received one gallon of milk delivered for free per week for life.

4:01 pm

if you forgot to deliver to a vet would it have been milk of amnesia?

4:02 pm

Now, that us a good one. :) 😉

4:02 pm

Is

4:02 pm

so you were helping the retired vets with Lactaid?

4:03 pm

Lol, it did not exist at that time.

4:04 pm

Worked well; a free gallon of milk, and they would buy sour cream, yoghurt, cottage cheese, etc.

4:05 pm

I guess you could say they were milking it for all it was worth?

4:05 pm

Lol, they were--and they earned it.

4:07 pm

Most of the vets were still in their sixties at the time. We did not begrudge them their milk.

4:07 pm

yeah.. at least they didn't go half and half way about it.

4:08 pm

Lol, you are on fire, ruru.

4:08 pm

Milking it for all its worth. :)

4:12 pm

Well, this grid is not going to happen for me today, so I will bid you all a good day, and may you keep things shiny side up.

4:33 pm

The 2 of you online at the same time made me laugh out loud just now . Sorry I missed you.

5:19 pm

I didn't know you could be more nu4. I thought you either were or you weren't.

yeah, I wonder that every time it's here

5:21 pm

I think it refers to the color, not the state of being

interesting.

just completely made up an N to gray the left one\

5:38 pm

back for the finish...hello all...

5:38 pm

5:52 pm

did you get the D pair that end in two vowels and then pl?....

5:52 pm

there is also a DU pair...rhymes with Ms. Child of cooking fame...

6:02 pm

well i am stalled at 25....going to list...

no, third col N

thanks for that D set

6:03 pm

i have all of those....

what is the 2nd letter of the upper D set?

6:04 pm

you are probably missing that na 5/10....three vowels...

that is the N

6:05 pm

as I said, there is a DU 5/6 pair...and a DA 5/6 pair...

oh, there it is, thx

found the du one but you just said D for the other :P

thanks

6:06 pm

6:07 pm

good plan...

well 2 of my A's were regular

6:09 pm

it happens...

well I missed the filipino mahogany again

6:10 pm

hah!

I've discovered I can right-click on a word and bring up the definition from a different source than the question mark dictionary.com link.

6:14 pm

cool...

I assume it's a mac thing but might be a chrome thing

and it does usually have a def when the other doesn't

6:15 pm

ah...probably a mac thing...

well, a couple of these 4s I am pretty sure I typed this morning

6:16 pm

hate that...

well, still 7 left. BRB

6:19 pm

6:35 pm

yes, it was a four...

6:36 pm

no...last was un 6/21...

oh, so were you asking me for a clue for that one? sorry

6:36 pm

can you clue so 7?...

it's like a weird form of making something dirty

or actually, it's a noun just another word for stain

6:37 pm

got it, ty...

ends in thing you put on fishing line

now 3 p's left

monkeyed the po5

6:38 pm

me, too... plus an A and an N...

it's french so you probably got it

not sure why it's on enable when merci isn't

6:39 pm

agreed...

6:41 pm

found my A...

well, the p is the last part of a tarp. never seen it called anything but a tarp or the full word.

6:42 pm

ah...ty....

6:43 pm

down to 2....po 5...na 6/27...

po5 is the french soldier I was just talking about I think

6:46 pm

don't think I know it...

na6 I completely monkeyed out of the blue. trying to think how to clue it.

p + motor *** that goes in a car + a vowel

na6 looks like an alt sp of no5 on a belt or bedpost

6:48 pm

got it...sounds like the french for hairy...

6:49 pm

hmmm...

oh, it does say on my thing "literally 'hairy'"

6:51 pm

ah...ok

but why was the WWII french infantry called that? because they didn't shave on the front line?

again, why, enable??

6:52 pm

no idea...

6:52 pm

can't get the N...

did you see my clue and need a different one?

it's actually a dance in india

6:56 pm

yes...i couln't make it work...

but did you understand the no5 I was talking about? it ends in those same 3 letters.

6:58 pm

i will try again...

6:59 pm

got it...was not putting the T in the right place...

kinda of a waste of those 3 letters

I think that's the only one that used it

7:00 pm

so i am done...

congrats

7:01 pm

ty...and thanks for the help...
