OT: Wilma Wow!

LA has my vote...or even Sacramento where the Governor's mansion is!

Caryn

I was thinking of Triffids (?) as in John Wyndam's Day of the Triffids. Really got our knickers knotted now lol

And here I was thinking you were a nice, respectable person... ;-)

Best wishes, Ericka

Oh, dear, another one bites the dust... ;-)

Best wishes, Ericka

Absolutely right, I was thinking of tribbles not triffids, and the chalice in the palace holds the brew that is true.

Now I'll probably have a dream tonight about fluffy, fuzzy triffids. What a vision that makes-- ; - )

Lucille

It's a mean, thoughtless thing to say no matter who says it. Or, if there was thought before it was said, that makes it even worse. Lucille

I have no idea what's happened to your sense of humor lately, but may I suggest that you killfile me? You'll probably enjoy the group quite a bit more and so will I.

Elizabeth (who meant it to be funny and still thinks it is)

My sense of humor is good, but since you only know one person in Haifa, and I know many, including family, I can't find anything to do with wiping a city off a map funny. It just so happens that I love what's called black humor, but this is so obviously directed straight at one person that I find it objectionable.

Funny would be when no one individual was singled out.

Lucille

It's only funny because it is directed at that one person.

Then you would have called it anti-Semitic. Funny how it's ok for Mirjam to go on at length with Caryn about how awful I am and you never said one single word, but I make a crack and you just have to jump in and take me to task. Save it for someone who cares about your opinion, will you? I'm sick to death of your lectures here and in email, so you can join Caryn and Mirjam in my killfile and be in good company.

Elizabeth (you wouldn't recognize good black humor if it bit you in the ass)

Will post in your support when I stop laughing too hard to type. :)

I promise you, this is my last word on the subject The reason I never said anything to defend you when Mirjam talked about you is because although I know she does sometimes get a tad irrational, I still felt that much of what she said about you was true. You seem to think it's okay to act the bully and pick at her most vulnerable parts just to provoke a reaction. And since you brought up anti-Semitic, something I never before accused you of, now I can say my opinion is definitely changing. Maybe that's been the problem all along. It might be good for you to look in the mirror and see what you're really made of. I have no clue where you're coming from and I don't think it's worth my time to try to find out.

Good night, sleep tight, and live a good life.

Lucille

You, who claims to have been treated shabbily by the system, should be just a little ashamed of yourself.

"Lucille" had some very interesting things to say about Re: OT: Wilma Wow!:

Those were tribbles.

I don't think I'll ever forgive Donald Trump for wearing a dead one on his head. ;-)

I've also been treated pretty shabbily by the person in question.

Man, I'm going to rack up some serious frequent flyer miles.

Of course, I won't be able to use them to go anywhere...

(I have the same effect on Penn State football -- every game I ever went to, they lost. The one year I went to a tailgate party for every home game was the first in years that they didn't go to a bowl game and were one game away from a losing season. Can't even watch the games on TV...)

Hey, the good news is our "garden view" building, one building back from the beach, could be an "ocean view" building by Friday.

K, the eternal optimist

Oh that is total B.S.

Lucille takes me to task regularly when she feels I'm out of line. She did the same to you, and you were, so get over it.

Caryn

I second either of those!

Jane (in Columbus)

Works for me!
