Hoping one of the Ohio meetup peeps will check Bj and see this.
Suzanne cannot find the Ohio peeps – maybe you can communicate through the comments?
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.
Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.
If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.
Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.
It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!
Usually wrong but never in doubt
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
the 10% who apparently lack object permanence
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
When we show up, we win.
Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.
Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.
Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Ohio farmer is also looking…. any green balloons, y’all?
columbusqueen
Suzanne, Plank’s is on S. High at Whittier. Where are you right now?
suzanne
@columbusqueen: Right outside on the bench!
columbusqueen
I have blue balloons, couldn’t find green.
suzanne
Inside or out? I see no balloons….
columbusqueen
We’re in the covered patio.
Geminid
I see YouTube has clips of jackals barking. Maybe you guys can play them to find each other, like the game “Marco Polo.”
WaterGirl
@Geminid: LOL
WaterGirl
Does radio silence on this post mean that you guys have found each other?
Baud
@WaterGirl:
Probably already sloshed.
Jackie
@Geminid: LOL!
Omnes Omnibus
Well, we know Goku made it. Baud was worried.
John Sterling
Hi everyone. I got there and there were no parking spaces, not in the lot, not on the street, nothing. So I just turned around and went home.
WaterGirl
@Omnes Omnibus: How do we know Goku made it?
WaterGirl
@John Sterling: Well, that’s unfortunate!
Are you the person who drove a long way for this?
Omnes Omnibus
@WaterGirl: There was a whole thing two threads down.
zhena gogolia
@Omnes Omnibus: That was hilarious. Just read it. So glad Goku found them.
Miss Bianca
Maybe they’re in Car 54?
WaterGirl
@Omnes Omnibus: Thank you!
Omnes Omnibus
@zhena gogolia: I was just trying to help.
PaulWartenberg
I don’t know if the Florida peeps ever got a meetup going. I hate being out of the loop. :(
zhena gogolia
@Omnes Omnibus: I’m expecting to get a picture and find out that Goku is 68 years old.
Ohio Mom
@zhena gogolia: I will upload the photos when I get home. You’ll see that Goku is a dashing young man. I am surprised some young woman hasn’t snapped him up yet.
zhena gogolia
@Ohio Mom: Okay, glad not to be disappointed in something!
Baud
@zhena gogolia:
He’s never lied about being young.
John Sterling
@WaterGirl: Fortunately, no. I live in the Columbus area.
WaterGirl
@John Sterling: Oh, good. Sorry you were so frustrated that you left.
Jackie
@Baud:
You believe everything you read on the internet.
Professor Bigfoot
@WaterGirl: because I sat right right next to him! LOL
Baud
@Professor Bigfoot:
Can’t wait to see the photos.
I take it Cole didn’t make it.
zhena gogolia
I should be outside enjoying the beautiful day, but after grading 10 papers I’m just a wet dishrag.
Professor Bigfoot
@zhena gogolia: he ain’t.
columbusqueen
@Baud: No, but Ohio Mom & I want to do another one at some point. Maybe we can coax him into showing up then before he goes west.
Ohio farmer
Glad I made it! It was great meeting everyone…. Though it was hard to have conversations with more than 4 or so people bc of surrounding noise…
Ohio Mom
@John Sterling: Sorry to have missed you! We are doing this again next year, and we will pick a day that isn’t the German village-wide yard sale. Maybe that will ensure more parking spaces.
Lyrebird
@WaterGirl: They also replied to say they’d made it.
Manyakitty
@Ohio Mom: thanks again, you and Ohio Dad are awesome!!!
I’ll send the picture Mr. Sab took, too.
Manyakitty
@Ohio farmer: hey, great meeting you! Did you see that new HBO documentary about corruption? The first episode was about the First Energy scandal and I meant to ask you about it, especially in light of the solar power conversation.
Temp Decloaked Lurker
So good to meet you guys! Three hour drive not regretted.
Manyakitty
@Temp Decloaked Lurker: yes! Thanks for joining us!
columbusqueen
Sorry about the delay in commenting; one bottle of cider & I’m out like a baby. It was wonderful to meet everyone, & I’ll make sure to get the right color balloons next time. I may also make a sign that sys METH RACCOON FAN CLUB too.
Suzanne
@columbusqueen: Thank y’all for organizing! Tons of fun!
Ohio farmer
@Manyakitty: I haven’t seen it yet…. But I know way too much about it…. The young man who wore the wire that brought it all down was from Knox county and was a lifelong hard core R who has bc of this has walked away from them and is a pretty solid liberal… if you saw the dispatch story from a couple of months ago about the lawyer spending all of householders campaign cash…. He is a local attorney who is always ranting about how householder is a victim of liberal witch hunt…..
Manyakitty
@Ohio farmer: I thought I remembered it that way. Glad the young man held on to his integrity and found his way.
