Vox Populi. our weekly live chat about the week’s events begins tonight at 7:00pm PST. Hope to see you then! AdLib 4 hours ago

Ready to talk about Qeef and the Dumbass in Deeper the Ukraine… Khirad 3 hours ago

On a serious note a friend of mine slipped into Slovakia and is safe. Khirad 3 hours ago

That’s great to hear! AdLib 3 hours ago

Just can’t believe this is happening as it is. AdLib 3 hours ago

The ongoing destruction of a democratic nation and people’s lives by a tyrant while life goes on as usual for the rest of the world. AdLib 3 hours ago

The thing is, is that Ukraine wasn’t not super corrupt. It’s just that, well…Russia. So… bitch please. Khirad 3 hours ago

Got lots to say… but – please ask questions not about my friend that’s – just don’t and leave it at that wink. wink. Khirad 3 hours ago

It’s hard for people in the US to earnestly point at other governments and gasp about how corrupt they are. We’re on the verge of our virtual plutocracy becoming a theocracy/autocracy. AdLib 3 hours ago

Oh? What can you share about your friend? AdLib 3 hours ago

Well yes, I like the Chomsky (who is in Tucson) pretend you’re an alien. Khirad 3 hours ago

He’s in Slovakia last I heard and safe and doesn’t work for an NGO and isn’t from a military family and doesn’t speak fluent Goergian Russian, Ukranian and others. Khirad 3 hours ago

We do have a virtual Confederacy right now that many red states including FL, TX, TN, MO, etc are in. DeathSantis just refused the President’s request for National Guard to be sent to DC. He’s declaring independence from the US…except when he needs FEMA funds. AdLib 3 hours ago

Make myself a tea and discuss how my friend works for NGOS and is a cunning linguist. Khirad 3 hours ago

So your friend isn’t a variety of things…but he is? AdLib 3 hours ago

He is not the acronym you are thinking of. Khirad 3 hours ago

I’m actually serious about not saying too much. Khirad 3 hours ago

In private I will. But. Khirad 3 hours ago

It’s not kee-ev or keev. It’s in between. He was sending me a Ukrainian flag but… I is the poor, but I have a porch and flag poles… Khirad 3 hours ago

Have I told you about my make Kaliningrad Königsberg great again? It’s just me and my Prussian heritage. Khirad 3 hours ago

It’s hard for me to care about US politics… I’m just – saw a Fuck Biden flag on a truck and just was nonplussed. Khirad 3 hours ago

I will say I saw a Washington lawmaker laughing with the dumb twins Khirad 3 hours ago

How about that Transnistria? Khirad 3 hours ago

Hard for me to not care since this is the country I’m living in. Trump’s destruction of many institutions affected my life and those I know. AdLib 3 hours ago

Yes I know I know how that came out. Of course I care. I just see us in the global context, as well. Khirad 3 hours ago

Nothing would make me happier than to see them all crying after November. AdLib 3 hours ago

I’m voting dem and will tell everyone to. I’m just always cynical. Khirad 3 hours ago

Who in their right mind would want to live in TX or FL? I was supposed to go on a trip to FL next week but I just couldn’t bear setting foot in that state or spending one penny there. AdLib 3 hours ago

Not even the Conch State? But I hear you. I have something to say about – well, you’ve heard me partially go after Disney Adults/ Khirad 3 hours ago

The problem is that the common oligarchy of the US isn’t anywhere near as horrible as the totalitarianism and savagery of Russia. AdLib 2 hours ago

Is that a bingo? Is that how you say it? Khirad 2 hours ago

No worries, I get it. AdLib 2 hours ago

You saw that the Disney company is continuing to donate to the don’t-say-gay Repubs but rationalize that by promising to say nice things about gays. WTF? Disney should be boycotted. AdLib 2 hours ago

Next time I’m in LA. seriously. Khirad 2 hours ago

Sounds good! AdLib 2 hours ago

At least Russian money is going to be dried up before Nov, whatever will Repubs do for campaign financing now? AdLib 2 hours ago

I have friends that are Disney adults, and somebody did a really fair job – but you say one bad thing… your’re banished like from Visualized from the Mentalist. Khirad 2 hours ago

Have to say, I would be a bit embarassed if I was the kind of person thought of as a Disney Adult. AdLib 2 hours ago

The Ruble is weak. It’s just based off of Gazprom, [oligarchs] Khirad 2 hours ago

https://www.youtube.com/embed/BvNmLwOLz3w?wmode=transparent&jqoemcache=Ta6RT Khirad 2 hours ago

Save that for later. Khirad 2 hours ago

So, next time I’m in LA… Khirad 2 hours ago

Disney’s reputation in the entertainment world is one of being vicious and cutthroat. They have screwed over talent over and over, just because they could. They hide behind their Disney facade of princesses and magic but it’s given them license to be a cut throat company. AdLib 2 hours ago

We’ll go to Disneyland? AdLib 2 hours ago

Seriously, it would be great to meet up! AdLib 2 hours ago

Only if you have acid? Khirad 2 hours ago

Will they let me in with my “Walt was a Nazi!” t-shirt? AdLib 2 hours ago

Yeah, I would love to just hang out … I mean, I’m gonna cut this short, but I like the one on one. Khirad 2 hours ago

Loved your responses. I’ll keep writing. Khirad 2 hours ago

Later, but yes, I’m still in Tucson and not that far away. Khirad 2 hours ago

Here is the current value of a ruble:

AdLib 2 hours ago

I can see Tuscon from my backyard. AdLib 2 hours ago

Hey Murph! You’re early! AdLib 2 hours ago

You there? AdLib 2 hours ago

Hi….Ad…just read the dialog between you and Khirad. I know for a fact that the Mouse House is a Rat’s Lair. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Yep, that rat is diseased. AdLib 2 hours ago

My big news is that COVID has hit my association…..There are eleven households in the Assoc and five have COVID. We have a plan for dealing with this but it creates quite a mess. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. How are the infected people bearing up? AdLib 2 hours ago

And you’re okay? AdLib 2 hours ago

Many, many, many moons ago, my father had a fall at Walt Disney World when the monorail platform was being washed down and there was no signage warning folks to take care And, as was discovered in court, they were using the wrong cleaning solution- lots of glycerine. My dad just wanted WDW to cover his medical expenses (broken arm, dislocated shoulder) and they ended up in court in Orlanda where the jury decided he had no case…..one does sue the Mouse in Orlando. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

I have tested negative for COVID. I have home kits. Everyone in the Assn. is double vaccinated and boosted so even if someone is positive symptoms are like a bad head cold. All are now taken the newest anti-virals and the well among us are pitching in to prove support where needed. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

That is so messed up! Juries are generally leaning more towards the victim of an accident but as you say, Orlando is a company town, people either work for Disney or have relatives or friends who do. Talk about a corrupt government. AdLib 2 hours ago

Good evening twilson117 2 hours ago

Hey TW! AdLib 2 hours ago

Hi….TW……I am early. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Ad…I got your message re. you and TW and Me having a chat. I am game. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Glad to hear that everyone in the association is vaxxed and those infected are getting the anti-virals. Do you know how they got the anti-virals? From their doctors or at the pharmacy? AdLib 2 hours ago

Ad, do you know how to set up a zoom meeting? MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Murph – Just let us know when would be a good day and time for you. AdLib 2 hours ago

I know you are techno saavy —- maybe TW is as well….me, I am a troglodyte. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

I can figure out Zoom. AdLib 2 hours ago

I bet you can. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Murph sorry to hear members in your Assoc have contacted COCID-19 but from what I just read they have gotten the jab correct? twilson117 2 hours ago

But the free Zoom sessions are time-limited. Maybe Facetime or phone would be better. AdLib 2 hours ago

I also like Duo……seems to be more popular. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

You take the lead and I will follow. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

What time of day are we talking about? Is an evening possible? My days are hard to predict. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Haven’t heard about Duo. Is it time-limited if you don’t have a paid subscription? AdLib 2 hours ago

I’m up for whatever works. If we have to use smoke signals I will google it and learn how to read them. twilson117 2 hours ago

TW – Would evening work for you? AdLib 2 hours ago

Yes twilson117 2 hours ago

Ad…I use Duo a lot ….it is free and so far no limits….but again I am not wise in the world of techno wonder. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Good….it looks like an evening work….I am only blocked out on Thursday’s. MurphTheSurf3 2 hours ago

Sounds like we have a time just need a date. twilson117 an hour ago

So maybe Tuesday evening? 7:00pm CST? AdLib an hour ago

TW….Ad knows that I lumber about in this on line world….he has used me as the “dumb cousin” to test drive updates here at the Planet to see wherre additional support will be needed. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Murph we all need a test subject of some sort. twilson117 an hour ago

Tuesday evening this week. March 8 at 7 PM my time in Missouri. Grand. Ad, does that give you enough time to systemize our effort? MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Ad sounds good to me that’s 10 my time not a problem I’m a bit of a night owl anyhow. twilson117 an hour ago

Not “dumb cousin” at all! Just a beta tester as anyone would be. AdLib an hour ago

evening all – good to see you. Hope glenn is having an OK moving experience! PPO sends his best, but he had a little accident. Tripped getting out of bed and whacked his face on his nightstand. He is OK – FINE – but did cut his nose and blackened his eye. Doc said to rest, and rest he is. Sends his love all around, just not his presence. choicelady an hour ago

Hey CL twilson117 an hour ago

TW – That would be 8:00pm your time. AdLib an hour ago

Hey CL! Interested in joining a Zoom-type chat Tuesday night? AdLib an hour ago

Ad Oh you said CST I misread it not a problem. twilson117 an hour ago

CL – That’s not good. I’m glad PPO wasn’t seriously hurt but that was really not needed. AdLib an hour ago

TW – if it’s 7 in MO, it’s only 8 in Shrewsbury presuming Shrewsbury is the one I know in MA. If you’re in the Maritimes or Newfoundland, all bets are off. choicelady an hour ago

CL – Thanks for straightening that out! AdLib an hour ago

Ad – PPO would totally agree. He sent a picture, and he looks fine, if a bit discolored around the inside of his right eye. He’s definitely on the mend and a bit sheepish. choicelady an hour ago

CL I got it, misread what Ad posted mind thought west cost. twilson117 an hour ago

I think I could do this. The one caveat is that I’m helping a women find her abducted child, and if the PIs find him, then it’s all hands on deck to get her to him. We have no clue when. choicelady an hour ago

‘TW – I figured that. It’s MO time so it’s only an hour, not three. choicelady an hour ago

So little ole Lindsey wants someone to take Putin out. Brave words for such a sniveling coward he is. He can’t even stand up to Trump** for all of 30 seconds. twilson117 an hour ago

CL – I have luckily caught myself once this year from having a bad fall off a ladder and I could not stop myself from repeating, “That was really stupid!” to myself like I had Tourettes. AdLib an hour ago

TW – rumor going around is an oligarch has a HUGE bounty on Putin’s head. Were that it was actually true. choicelady an hour ago

CL we can only hope twilson117 an hour ago

AD – falls are so preventable and so frequent that I think we are hard wired for stupid. choicelady an hour ago

CL – Sorry that the poor woman is still struggling with that (this is the same one we’ve discussed?). No worries, if you need to handle that, very understandable. AdLib an hour ago

Ad – yes – almost 3 years now. She got a GREAT attorney in TX who hired an excellent PI firm. They start surveillance on the probable places tomorrow. Keep the faith we find him – then she goes to court down there to get him back. Long but good story of how she MAY finally get justice. choicelady an hour ago

CL that sounds like a tough task you’re undertaking hope it works out. twilson117 an hour ago

TW – Lindsey’s brain is so addled from being a Trumper, he is mentally incontinent. What veteran politician publicly calls for the assassination of another country’s politician? Moron! He better know what polonium tastes like. AdLib an hour ago

TW – On top of everything, the previous atty in CA, one HIGHLY recommended, did Eff all, took almost $50K from me and did NOTHING. We have a Bar complaint and lawsuit in against him for return of the money. Appalling. choicelady an hour ago

I have to step out….call from a member….elderly family member is having a hard time breathing. COVID related I think. Hope to be back soon. Hi Choice!!!!! MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Hey Murph – do what you must! choicelady an hour ago

CL – Yes, I saw that, supposedly $1 million to whoever could arrest him (he didn’t say it was to kill him). AdLib an hour ago

CL – The problem for me was that I assumed I’m as spry as I have been and so I was a bit unconcerned about leaning while on the ladder. Learned my lesson!!! AdLib an hour ago

Ad – in a nation that uses nuclear items and open windows for “justice”, $1 million could be for most anything, yes? choicelady an hour ago

Hey Harleigh! AdLib an hour ago

tada! Harleigh an hour ago

Ad – this growing older thing needs work. choicelady an hour ago

HARLEIGH!!! choicelady an hour ago

Hi guys. was watchin basketball. how’s eveybody? Harleigh an hour ago

CL – That’s great to hear! Finally, she has the lawyer she needs to right this terrible wrong! Hope this can work out quickly. AdLib an hour ago

Hi CL Harleigh an hour ago

Harleigh – I’m fine. Bring greetings from PPO who had an accident. He’s fine but needs rest. Sort fell out of bed and bunged up his eye socket. Will be fine, but isn’t right now. choicelady an hour ago

Ad – We all do. This has been a nightmare for her, her son, and yes, me. choicelady an hour ago

CL – Yes, you told me about that shyster. I hope you get that money back…and that the Bar gets your complaint against him. AdLib an hour ago

Hello Harleigh twilson117 an hour ago

CL – Would you know how a very, very long table could be rigged to cause someone to accidentally fall out a high window? AdLib an hour ago

AD – I think we will get back a significant part of what he was paid. choicelady an hour ago

Harleigh – Who are you rooting for? AdLib an hour ago

So, what does everyone think is going to happen, short term and long term, in Ukraine and Russia? AdLib an hour ago

Sorry folks had to step away for a moment. twilson117 an hour ago

CL did you say PPO took a fall? twilson117 an hour ago

AD I’m a Heat fan Harleigh an hour ago

Ad – this afternoon a foreign policy person said it may be like the uproar in Kosovo etc. and take years to reconcile. But the issue is stopping Putin’s insane violence. If they take Ukraine into NATO, it changes everything for them – can have boots on the ground, all the hardware activated from other nations. The sheer incompetence of Russia in this is heartening. They are NOT a great military power. They are Hitler at his worst over-riding generals with his demands for illogical tactics. choicelady an hour ago

Harleigh – Even though they’ve got their issues this season, I remain a Lakers fan. AdLib an hour ago

TW – yes. He’s OK. Saw a photo, but his doc said REST, and rest he is. choicelady an hour ago

CL I really think Putin is mentally unstable. twilson117 an hour ago

AD I’m a Labron fan! lol Harleigh an hour ago

TW – I absolutely agree. choicelady an hour ago

TW – don’t know if you were here for the discussion of the oligarch who offers a $1M bounty to take Putin out. Arrest or…whatever. choicelady an hour ago

CL have been watching MSNBC and it’s really getting bad over there. Ukraine is going to fall it’s just a matter of time sadly. twilson117 an hour ago

Murph – is all OK? choicelady an hour ago

CL I saw your comment, on that. twilson117 an hour ago

TW – NATO is working to take them in immediately, and that ups the NATO capacities enormously. choicelady an hour ago

CL – That is one big surprise I’m taking away from this, Russia has a crappy military. Sure, it’s easy to bomb unarmed civilians in Syria but against a small and underfunded military in Ukraine, they have already lost their main objectives and are now in a secondary mode of bombing everywhere. Their armies are being decimated and they are losing equipment quickly. Rebuilding with a trashed economy and limited resources and imports of tech will not be easy. Georgia and Chechnya should revolt now, he couldn’t fight on all those fronts at once. AdLib an hour ago

If someone can take Putin OUT and NATO is IN Ukraine as a new member, Ukraine will survive. choicelady an hour ago

Putin has been led by his ego and Trump’s false promises have not helped. choicelady an hour ago

Shelling and having grunts taking over a nuke installation is moronic. Harleigh an hour ago

Ad – I agree that Russia may find itself besieged on all sides soon. choicelady an hour ago

CL I think Ukraine has a ways to go before they can get accepted into NATO don’t they? twilson117 an hour ago

Harleigh – On that we are together! Lebron is amazing. A rare personal note, when he was first coming to the Lakers, my daughter saw him at her high school as he was checking out which school he wanted his son to go to. Turned out to be another school but that was fun for her. AdLib an hour ago

TW – NATO is trying to expedite it. Like REALLY expedite it! choicelady an hour ago

TW under normal circumstances yes Harleigh an hour ago

CL well that would be good.\ twilson117 an hour ago

TW I hope they do it. AND Finland and whoever else wants in. ] choicelady an hour ago

CL I understand Putin would really be ticked if Finland joined twilson117 an hour ago

Oh, Ad – I hadn’t heard that story about your daughter and Lebron! How very fun! choicelady an hour ago

TW – It seemes inevitable that Russia will bomb the major cities enough to chase away citizens and take over but that is the expected first phase of the war. Then the freedom fighter phase begins and many Russians will be killed in ongoing guerilla warfare. Meanwhile, Russia sinks into being a failed totalitarian state, cut off from the rest of the world and trillions in income. I just hope Zelensky survives to lead the resistence. AdLib an hour ago

TW – Yup. He has dreams of the Soviet reconfigured including, I think, satellites such as Poland et al. It is NOT a coincidence he spent MILLIONS refurbishing the Hermitage. He does wish to be the New Czar or all Russia as it was in the 1950s. I bet he intends to live there. Hope he recalls what happened to the former occupants… choicelady an hour ago

CL – I saw that the EU was agreed on bringing in Ukraine ASAP but hadn’t heard that about NATO yet. What’s the story on that? AdLib an hour ago

Ad – all I know is they are trying to expedite Ukrainian membership. choicelady an hour ago

Ad, survival has to be Zelensky main goal. twilson117 an hour ago

TW – agreed. choicelady an hour ago

CL – Yes, just a “sighting” story but she and her whole high school, which is a very athletics-minded shcool, were all thrilled about it. AdLib an hour ago

Ad – lovely experience for them all! choicelady an hour ago

CL – I know the Russian people are trapped and brainwashed so I’m not wishing them to suffer but I can’t help thinking, how would Putin like to see Moscow bombed the way he’s bombing the people and cities in Kyiv? AdLib an hour ago

Just seeing the images of what is taking place over there, is heartbreaking, especially when you consider we’re in the 21st century and should be moving past this sort of power grab. twilson117 an hour ago

Ad and TW – this is beyond comprehension. This is 1939 when we should be well past this kind of insanity. choicelady an hour ago

I’ve been asked if I think Putin is insane enough to drop a nuke. I think he is. choicelady an hour ago

I am back…ambulance called and on the way….labored breathing, falling O2 levels, elevated pulse. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Anything I need to know about in my absence? MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

As some have been saying, in the space of a week, NATO and The West are strongly back together and dominant, Russia has gone from an autocracy to a totalitarian state and the Russian economy is being pulled out from under Putin. Maybe the fastest moving changes in world events in our lifetimes…so far. AdLib an hour ago

Murph what??? twilson117 an hour ago

Murph – this does not sound good, and I hope your neighbor will be OK. choicelady an hour ago

Ad – it’s as if the crisis brought out who each player really is. We are on the side of democracy and freedom. Putin is on his own side. choicelady an hour ago

We shall see….she is conscious, aware and communicating. She has a long history of pulmonary issues and has been hospitalized before. COVID adds to the problem. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

murph that sounds like me falling asleep in my chair!! lol Harleigh an hour ago

Murph – that’s the creepy addition: COVID. Hope she pulls through. choicelady an hour ago

Murph is this a neighbor who refuses to be vaccinated? twilson117 an hour ago

Harleigh…Hah! Me too. But she has a damaged esophagus so…. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

TW – It’s surreal to see bombs dropped throughout modern cities in an entire country while everyone else in the West goes about their days as normal. I think I can comprehend what Putin was thinking at first but what madness is in his mind now, when the world can see he is a dictator who must be stopped and has no future in the world community now. AdLib an hour ago

TW…no she is a member of one of the families in the Assn/Co-Op where everyone is vaccinated and boosted. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

All – after a most harrowing but good day, I have suddenly hit the wall. Not literally like PPO but in exhaustion. It’s great to see you all. I intend to be back Friday AND Tuesday if that comes to pass. I am absolutely having to go to bed. I’m so sorry. Good night and good weekend to all! choicelady an hour ago

CL – This does seem like two countries have fallen back in time to 1939 while the rest of the world is in 2022. And how do you stop a madman with nukes as he levels an entire country? AdLib an hour ago

CL – that’s the worry, isn’t it? choicelady an hour ago

I lost my voice 5 months ago and could not do medicare ins on the phone. Been to a specialist and speech therapy. Second opinion coming up next week. still have limited voice issues. Harleigh an hour ago

Good night everyone! choicelady an hour ago

Murph hope she recovers, regardless of vaccinated status. twilson117 an hour ago

Take care CL twilson117 an hour ago

Murph – That’s terrible news! Please keep us updated if you learn more. AdLib an hour ago

night CL Harleigh an hour ago

This morning I watched an interview at a rail station in Poland with a 15 year old boy who had just been charged with caring for his two brothers, sister, two cousins, mom and aunt as the men got back on a train to go back to Eukraine. The boy, now a young man, barely held back his tears as he s aid: My papa told me care for them all but to remember to love my country was as strong a heart.” MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

CL is gone! Sad to miss her. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Harleigh…this voice thing….cause? MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

Murph talking about having to grow up fast. That’s not a fate for any 15 year old twilson117 an hour ago

war sucks. Russia will pay for a long time. Harleigh an hour ago

TW…..I agree……and they had no idea where they were going next. The kid spoke excellent english but he seemed to be speaking for all refugees at that moment. MurphTheSurf3 an hour ago

well I’m conkin out. later folks Harleigh an hour ago

CL – And a side benefit though of Putin showing what a monster he is, is that Trump, Tucker and the GOP now have the Putin stink all over them and will never escape it. I think this was a last straw in Trump’s political career being incinerated. Pence came out today and declared that no one who’s an apologist for Putin can represent the GOP. Sure, Pence was fine with Putin while VP but for Pence to break away, other Repubs are starting to as well. Imagine the Putin-Trump ads that Dems would run if Trump was the nominee? AdLib an hour ago

I see Harleigh left. twilson117 44 minutes ago

Ok….CL…good summary…..I really hate Trump…more so now when I think of how his weak kneed obeisance to the Czar and his undermining of NATO certainly gave support to Putin’s penchant for land seizing. MurphTheSurf3 43 minutes ago

Murph – That is another heartbreaking story. I see photos of children smiling who have been killed and it is so awful. AdLib 43 minutes ago

Yes, Trump seems to be on a slipper slope…but he has been there before. How about we give him a push. MurphTheSurf3 42 minutes ago

I’ve been reading Timothy Snyder’s book The Road to Unfreedom and talks about why Putin is doing what he is doing. Has something to do with the named Ilyan and his teaching. twilson117 42 minutes ago

And what about the GOP, NRA, Trump, McConnell, all being so tied up with Russia? This decimnates the dirty money and election interference they were getting from Russia and brands them all as the anti-American traitors that they are. AdLib 41 minutes ago

Ad….Amen…when will the DOJ move on all of this…when will the Dems go on the attack……???? MurphTheSurf3 40 minutes ago

Murph – I would’ve thought that attempting a coup to overthrow American democracy would’ve been enough to end Trump’s political career but I guess it took Russia starting WW III with his help. Who woulda thunk it? AdLib 40 minutes ago

Ad….I do not have confidence that the king is dead…..his zombie presidency seems to keep coming back. MurphTheSurf3 39 minutes ago

TW – Interesting, is it about Putin following in the footsteps of rebuilding the Russian Empire? AdLib 39 minutes ago

Well, I believe Trump** is in a lot of trouble which his money will not be able to get him out of. As pointed out Pence seems to be finding his voice with Putin doing what he is. And Barr’s book coming where is essentially saying Trump** wasn’t up to the job he’s losing supporters like he is losing money. twilson117 37 minutes ago

Well…I need to check in on the family I was speaking of a few minutes ago….how shall we finalize our plans? Ask Ad to be the ringmaster and give us our instructions would be my inclination. MurphTheSurf3 37 minutes ago

I agree. twilson117 37 minutes ago

Murph – I think Garland has been holding back but with the latest events highlighting what a threat Trump was to our democracy and democracies around the world, I think he’s run out of rationale to hold back from prosecuting Trump. Add in the latest revelations about Trump being documented knowing that his claims of fraud in the election were false, it shows consciousness of guilt. He needs to be convicted and sent away. AdLib 36 minutes ago

Ad…your reasoning is mine as well…..now will Garland agree with us. MurphTheSurf3 36 minutes ago

Murph – I will check out Duo and set it up, will call everyone beforehand and send a link. Then we should be able to make it happen! AdLib 36 minutes ago

Ad I think what the Jan 6th committee just sent over to him is the match, he needs to light the fire. twilson117 35 minutes ago

Looking forward to it….if Duo is not sound from your POV….I t rust that youi will identify a better option. MurphTheSurf3 35 minutes ago

Well…friends….I am off….going over to the other house to see how things are. MurphTheSurf3 34 minutes ago

Ok Ad, Looking forward to it. twilson117 34 minutes ago

TW – Good point, though I despise Barr as a traitor who was fine with being one while he had power, he has turned on Trump. The bricks are crumbling around Trump, he will not be able to survive his praise of Putin for invading Ukraine. It won’t be a rapid fall but Trump is creaking like a tree slowly falling over. AdLib 34 minutes ago

Murph – Duo should be just fine but one way or another, we’ll make it happen. AdLib 33 minutes ago

Best wishes to your friend! AdLib 33 minutes ago

Murph! AdLib 33 minutes ago

And with those good words, I bid you farewell. MurphTheSurf3 33 minutes ago

Night Murph! AdLib 33 minutes ago

Well TW, looks like we’re set for a great conversation on Tuesday! AdLib 32 minutes ago

You’re right. I think Barr saw Trump** as his way of pushing his theory around an all powerful executive branch twilson117 32 minutes ago

Yes it does. twilson117 32 minutes ago

Barr is evil and exercised his evil while in power. Now that he sees Trump is wounded and going down, he wants to cash in on his book and look like he wasn’t part of the reign of terror. AdLib 31 minutes ago

I’ve been playing around in getting my website back up after I screwed up the wordpress down load. Need to call godaddy twilson117 31 minutes ago

Oh no, what happened? AdLib 30 minutes ago

It seems it was a bad plugin twilson117 29 minutes ago

You can update WordPress from your Dashboard then if it has a problem, you should rollback to the last versioon you had. AdLib 29 minutes ago

Best troubleshooting is to deactivate all your plugins then add them back in one or two at a timne, checking your site inbetween to confirm that they’re working okay. When the site has a problem, you’ll have found which plugin it is. AdLib 27 minutes ago

Whatever I did everything was gone. But they got it back for me and I’m okay, been working on it just before the chat session. I’m back to where I was before. twilson117 27 minutes ago

Good to hear! You should try updating all your plugins before trying to update again. Some older versions cause trouble on newer versions of WordPress. AdLib 26 minutes ago

When I rebuilt the site the last time I was just downloading plugins thinking I needed them but now I only have the ones I need. But, I have questions around jetpack I have the bare bones but would like to pick your brain on that. twilson117 25 minutes ago

Sure thing. I do use Jetpack but I’m looking at replacing it with plugins that just do what I need, it’s very big because of all the features, many of which I don’t use. But I’ve been using it for a long time so happy to help on using it. AdLib 23 minutes ago

I went through all the plugins and deleted the ones I didn’t need and I did update the ones that required updating so I think I’m okay with that. Since my plans are for it just to be sort of a repository for my writing I don’t think I’m going to need a lot of stuff. twilson117 23 minutes ago

That’s smart. Best to use as few plugins as possible, they take up a lot of memory and slow down your site. So fewer is absolutely better. AdLib 22 minutes ago

I am just using the basics of jetpack with is the free part no need to be spending money for all the super-duper stuff I will never use. twilson117 21 minutes ago

Because this is a membership site, we need more plugins for various functions. AdLib 21 minutes ago

Nope, I’ve always used the free version. AdLib 20 minutes ago

Free is better until they start stripping out the stuff that made it good and move it over their premium package which is how these software companies do to increase the bottom line. twilson117 19 minutes ago

Yep. It’s helped that Jetpack is by the WordPress folks, they haven’t priced up the free features so far. AdLib 18 minutes ago

I think with jetpack all I really need is the security part which stops brute force attacks and a few other things right? twilson117 17 minutes ago

Would you believe I once thought about being a web designer? Man am I glad I didn’t go down that path. twilson117 15 minutes ago

I don’t use their security, I use Cloudflare. It’s free and is far more powerful, it can even disrupt DDOS attacks in real time. But Jetpack’s free CDN is good to use too. AdLib 15 minutes ago

Same here, I bought books to learn how to do web design years ago. But I learned what I know about HTML the hard way, through working on this site and having to change and fix things myself. AdLib 14 minutes ago

I don’t know Cloudflare or CDN. So it probably best I stick with jetpack. twilson117 14 minutes ago

Jetpack will be fine for your site. CDN is free and one of the features of Jetpack. You can turn it on with a click in the options. It stores your graphics on their server and speeds up access time for visitors. AdLib 12 minutes ago

CDN stands for content delivery network. AdLib 12 minutes ago

I took a class in good ole Hyper Text Meta Language and that is when I said Hell no I’m not doing this. twilson117 11 minutes ago

Yes, never took a class in it. Learned how to do the basics pretty quickly but working with CSS which is the visual layout, was a steeper learning curve. AdLib 10 minutes ago

It was so long ago all I can remember was HTML how long it took to write it just to get it to do something simple. twilson117 7 minutes ago

Well I’m calling it a night. Will talk to you later. twilson117 6 minutes ago

Sounds good, talk to you on Tuesday! Have a great weekend! AdLib 4 minutes ago
