Riddle Sideways: Hi All

Riddle Sideways: was on phone
Agatha Macbeth: The gang's all here :p
Riddle Sideways: YaY
Agatha Macbeth: Is it the bank?
Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle; good afternoon Agatha
Agatha Macbeth: Woot
Riddle Sideways: was an auto insurance accident report call
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Riddle Sideways: an impatient NY driver hit us
Adams Rubble: uh oh
Agatha Macbeth: Uhh
Riddle Sideways: all is ok, except the repair details
Adams Rubble: glad you are not hurt
Riddle Sideways: now, back to celebrating having 3 avs here
Agatha Macbeth: You're alright is what matters
Riddle Sideways: thanks
Agatha Macbeth: Riddle is indestructible!
Agatha Macbeth: Like Captain Scarlet
Riddle Sideways: Right
Riddle Sideways: there's a whole family of Indestructibles?
Agatha Macbeth: I believe so
Agatha Macbeth: Don't really know much about them

Riddle Sideways: Movers are here taking things out to big truck
Riddle Sideways: after weeks of sorting
Agatha Macbeth: You're moving?
Riddle Sideways: In-laws died and did not clean the house beforehand
Agatha Macbeth: Awww
Agatha Macbeth: Tricky that
Riddle Sideways: 66 years of married life collecting stuff
Agatha Macbeth knows about that
Agatha Macbeth: I am the goddess of junk
Riddle Sideways: kids moved out and their rooms became storage containers
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Agatha Macbeth: I'm surprised my attic doesn't collapse sometimes
Riddle Sideways: 20 years ago they moved from a full 3rd floor attic to a full basement
Riddle Sideways: no need to toss anything
Riddle Sideways: the saga of collecting Stuff
   --BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: It's amazing how much stuff I have and how little I actually use

Adams Rubble: it is good to be reminded not to let things build up
Agatha Macbeth: 'Let go of what you have to see what you are' ;-)

Riddle Sideways: one never knows how many empty yogurt containers to keep, just in case needed
Agatha Macbeth: Eek plastic!
Agatha Macbeth: At least it gets recycled now
Riddle Sideways: life might be inperminant, but plastic lives on
Agatha Macbeth: Plastic age
Riddle Sideways: Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate
Adams Rubble: yoguyrt cups are not recyclable in our area
Agatha Macbeth: Hello darkness my old friend
Agatha Macbeth: Never knew what that song had to do with the film

Riddle Sideways: darn. Heard the word/phrase for including a hit song into a movie for that heck of it, but have forgotten the word
Riddle Sideways: song and movie become linked
Agatha Macbeth: But a good song nonetheless
Agatha Macbeth: Relevant or no
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: Steppen Wolf's 'Born to be Wild' in 'Easy Rider' because there was no dialogue during motorcycle scenes
Agatha Macbeth: Yes that was another classic

Riddle Sideways: wonder if that is like earworm songs in the soundtrack of your life?
Agatha Macbeth: Could be
Agatha Macbeth: The worm might turn
Riddle Sideways: what could be the Relevance of 'Baby Shark' while packing boxes of yogurt containers?
Adams Rubble: Grandfather shark
Agatha Macbeth: Do sharks eat yogurt?
Agatha Macbeth: The logistics of that would be a tad difficult
Riddle Sideways: just gotta laugh at those people that think Everything is Relevant
Agatha Macbeth: Quite an interesting conundrum actually - how would you feed a shark yogurt?
Agatha Macbeth: 'With great difficulty' would be the answer I think
Riddle Sideways: "Very Carefully"
   --BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh

Agatha Macbeth: I've always wondered why goldfish eat ants eggs...I mean how do they even know what they taste like?
Agatha Macbeth: You don't see too many ants underwater
Riddle Sideways: might be the reason. They get eaten
Agatha Macbeth: It's a bit like 'why don't penguins feet freeze'
Riddle Sideways: the Great Questions
Riddle Sideways: why do humans spend such time thinking up unanswerable questions
Agatha Macbeth: Too much time perhaps
Riddle Sideways: dogs might be happier because they do not waste time on those
Agatha Macbeth: Just bones
Riddle Sideways: and cats might not be happy ever because they don't think of them
Agatha Macbeth: Think cats are too busy with other stuff
Riddle Sideways: themselves
Adams Rubble: sleeping
Agatha Macbeth: ^.^

Agatha Macbeth: This bunny is cute
Riddle Sideways: yep
Agatha Macbeth: Didn't notice him last week
Riddle Sideways: Bleu left it here years ago, but sometimes we don't see it
Riddle Sideways: maybe it does go away
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe we were on the other side

Agatha Macbeth: So are NY drivers notoriously incompetent or were you just unlucky?
Riddle Sideways: both and aggressive
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Adams Rubble: Brooklyn drivers are scary
Riddle Sideways: huge traffic jams everywhere AND those Very Important people need to cut to the front of lines
Adams Rubble: I was stopped at a red light and someone came up, blew their horn at me, went around the right and thrpough the light
Riddle Sideways: colorblind?
Adams Rubble: impatient
Agatha Macbeth: There is a reason for red lights after all
Riddle Sideways: 45 minutes getting to and on and off the George Washington Bridge. And this guy can save 1 minute by driving on the shoulder past 7 cars then smashing into my fender
Riddle Sideways: to cut in
Agatha Macbeth: Only 44 minutes then
Adams Rubble: ouch
Adams Rubble: GW bridge is a mess
Riddle Sideways: yes

Riddle Sideways: Police will not send a patrol car up there if your car is drivable and no injures
Adams Rubble: where the police fear to tread

Riddle Sideways: Adams, NJ has a big election today because they re-drew all the lines?
Adams Rubble: no
Agatha Macbeth: Gerrymandering?
Adams Rubble: the State elections are in the odd years
Adams Rubble: NJ not so gerrymandered because of the way they redistrict
Adams Rubble: the Republicans and Democrats draw up a map each
Agatha Macbeth: Must have been good
Adams Rubble: then a committee of three: a Republican, a Democrat and a non-aligned pick one of the maps
Adams Rubble: so the Rs and Ds try to draw up a map that does not appear to be gerrymadered
Riddle Sideways: sounds fair
Adams Rubble: fairer than many states
Riddle Sideways: where would you find a non-aligned person
Adams Rubble: then local elections are also today
