Thanks anyway.

It looks like she tried that and the non-tinyurl that are in Sprite's profile. The problem may be on her end. That link works for me.

Grocery store report: Better than last week. The produce section is still very low. I haven't seen fresh broccoli in weeks. But we are making do with frozen/roasted. They even had some paper products, including toilet paper. Not much, and people were scooping up as many paper products as they could. I did get flour and sugar and I have heard they are hard to come by. No bread flour though, but they did have a lot more bread than last week.

6:16 am

MollyL

Lots of people in latex gloves. Including me, but I wore my badass black ones. : D Some people in masks. I'm not ready for the mask thing yet.

Hi Une. How are things in NashVegas? You poor folks. First a tornado and now this.

Yw!

6:51 am

MollyL

It seems to be a numbers game Une. As the number of reported cases rises, they weigh that against the hospital capacity and health care worker numbers.

6:52 am

MollyL

I think there is also some concern about putting thousands of people in the "no income" zone.

6:53 am

Uneaixoise

Oh, i know, but still......

6:54 am

On the bright side, your pu4 are in the grid today.

I'm glad to hear there are more items available for you at the store, Molly.

morning everyone!

7:11 am

BzznBea

Morning, bonk.

7:18 am

MollyL

It will be back soon, I'm sure. The stores are already way better than they were last week. I think people are backing off on the hoarding.

7:19 am

MollyL

One good thing about the "shopping with Seniors" hour. None of them seem to like the self check out, so I had that all to myself.

7:19 am

BzznBea

Our produce was well stocked yesterday, but not a lot of people around here for in for that kind of stuff. =)

7:19 am

BzznBea

go in for that

7:20 am

MollyL

I normally buy very little frozen or canned stuff. My freezer is full and I have more canned goods than I ever have.

7:21 am

BzznBea

I'm the same way. But, I haven't had any problems getting fresh here.

7:22 am

BzznBea

I did have to resort to frozrn chicken breasts instead of fresh yesterday.

8:25 am

dan2bit

we are okay. I have always been able to work from home, mrs2bit is new to it but fortunate to be able to, and miss2bit simply didn't return to school after our big Africa adventure. She has made herself a schedule and is mostly sticking to it :-)

8:26 am

BzznBea

Is she doing distance learning?

8:27 am

dan2bit

self-directed resources are available for us for now - no teacher-led instruction until April (after what would have been Spring Break)

8:28 am

dan2bit

Maggie's school in particular has a lot of kids who would need laptops and personal hotspots in order to participate - plans were under way to distribute those things when the governor shut it all down

8:30 am

dan2bit

she is certainly still learning - her teachers are posting assignments and there's a ton of newly free resources parents are sharing with each other, but no grades and no statewide testing this year

8:30 am

BzznBea

Yes, that is where my sixth grade teacher daughter is now. They are scrambling to get distance learning up and running for their students. She teaches in a school that has many students on assistance. They don't have computers or even internet.

8:31 am

BzznBea

I'm wondering how this event will change the way our children get their education.

8:31 am

dan2bit

yes, the equity issues are real. we are very fortunate, and very grateful for the commitment from her teachers

8:32 am

dan2bit

I would love to see more emphasis on student-driven projects come out of this, with less teaching-to-the-test

Corona Kindness. A local radio station is asking people to report Corona Kindness. This is the kind of positive stuff we need right now.

It most certainly is Molly. And I think there is more of it than we know.

9:10 am

MollyL

Bea! I just went to another store and found fresh broccoli and fresh green beans. Yay!

9:10 am

BzznBea

=) Are you not working?

9:10 am

MollyL

I don't work on the weekends.

9:11 am

BzznBea

Oh, yes...It is Saturday...DUH!

9:11 am

hokie carla

who knows it's a weekend? all the days are a blur now.

9:11 am

MollyL

I imagine for people who don't work, weekends are no big deal. To me, they are sacred.

9:12 am

mixi6

I have 7 day weekends.

9:13 am

bichon

I remember in "Downton Abbey", tthe characters had no idea of wha a weekend was. Everyday is free.

9:13 am

MollyL

Of course having to go to multiple grocery stores, puts you at more exposure. And yes, there were several people in the stores coughing and sneezing.

9:13 am

hokie carla

I ran into the oldest's friend girl yesterday when I was walking the dog. She said she'd been to Costco and they were only letting 10 people in at a time so there was a big line outside. not sure how lining up close together outside is any better than a few more people going in a huge warehouse at a time is.

9:13 am

mixi6

Actually i usually take weeks off from other actvities.

9:14 am

MollyL

That seems pretty stupid, Hokie.

9:14 am

BzznBea

But I think they make them stand 6' apart.

9:15 am

hokie carla

that sounds better, bea

9:15 am

mixi6

Empose

9:15 am

hokie carla

she didn't mention that but they probably did

9:15 am

MollyL

It is impossible to be six feet apart from people in a grocery store. And six feet apart in line, well I'm imagining a VERY long line.

9:16 am

hokie carla

thanks, mixi.

9:16 am

MollyL

Also, an virus that can be contracted airborne does not recognize six feet of distance.

9:16 am

MollyL

*A virus

9:21 am

hokie carla

did y'all already talk about Kenny Rogers?

9:24 am

BzznBea

Don't think so. Mr. Bea did.

9:25 am

hokie carla

I have the gambler stuck in my head now

9:25 am

BzznBea

Islands in the Stream is my earworm.

9:25 am

hokie carla

now it will be mine :D

9:26 am

BzznBea

It is moving day for the worms. 25 words left...back later...

9:26 am

hokie carla

did you know the Bee Gees, or at least Barry Gibb, wrote that song?

9:27 am

hokie carla

I have 50 left. will probably have to take a break as I am stuck.

9:31 am

9:33 am

MLFAN17

my husband told me about Kenny rodges

9:35 am

MollyL

There was a show on years ago called Flash Forward. One of the funniest running jokes on it was that a guy who was getting married had a fiance who wanted to dance to Islands In The Stream at their wedding. : D

9:36 am

MollyL

I keep a running tab of best and worst wedding dance songs. That went on the worst list.

9:37 am

MollyL

Right next to Precious And Few, which was the wedding dance song of a woman I used to work with.

Trifioso

nope. not even remotely. Due to "equity issues" teachers can only send enrichment activities, nothing that can be graded our count. At a zoom meeting this week, teachers in the english department noted that less than 5% of students are engaging with the material in ANY way.

Trifioso

I feel SO bad for the AP kids, who will likely see their exams cancelled, and all that hard work is great in terms of what they learned, but no one knows what it will mean for colleges. Harvard - HARVARD - cancelled their graduation. I know, it's all better than getting a terrible illness, but it still sucks. Those poor students

10:12 am

Trifioso

Boston University has closed its dorms. 1200 students applied for hardship waivers to be able to stay, as they, quite factually, have NO WHERE to go, and NO WAY to get there.

10:13 am

Trifioso

whew! nbt

10:13 am

bichon

Wesleyan had done the same. All the student going home to nothing and social isolation

10:14 am

Trifioso

i know for a full fact that several members of our high school population live in unstable, unsafe homes, with food insecurity and real problems in the parents. And now they are all locked together.

10:14 am

Trifioso

I worry for them, SO MUCH

10:15 am

doseffing

... This is their chance to study with no distractions. If they're that good at they can read every book ever written and do every math problem and physics problem ever put in a textbook or on the net.

10:17 am

MollyL

Boy, that is the definition of survival of the fittest.

10:18 am

doseffing

... Not at all ... it only says you don't need teachers and classrooms to learn ... they're helpful, even very helpful, but they're not necessary

10:18 am

Trifioso

gosh, thank dos

10:20 am

Trifioso

i would, respectfully, argue the opposite. Without a teacher to guide them, engage them, and show them the relevance of what they are reading/trying to solve, they are rather like rudderless ships. Have YOU read every book even written, with full comprehension of the nuances and back history of the author and the text?

10:26 am

anawaltgal

on this discussion, I am doing my best to keep my 3 grandsons learning. We have lessons from their school. watching educational web shows, doing art and gym and listening to music. I never dreamed I would be homeschooling, but I am givig it my best shot. Their grandfather,my husband, is letting them help cook, work outside and numerous other activities. I think if the mind is bering used, you are learning. This has also been beneficial to me after working 40+ years and then retiring to help my kids with their needs.

10:26 am

cybernan

interesting to hear what is happening with your school, Trif. Our grandchildren's scholl has laid out a program for the core subjects online and parents are home schooling.

10:26 am

Trifioso

good for you, anawaltgal!

10:26 am

doseffing

... excellent

10:27 am

anawaltgal

Everyone have a great day. I will be back on later.

10:27 am

cybernan

mind you, they are in grades 2 and 4, so that is easier than high school. One is attending a univeersity that has gone virtual.

10:27 am

Trifioso

the best post I read was from a man in england who said "I have been home schooling for 30 minutes and now realize teachers should be paid 1 million pounds a year!" and he had TWO kids at home. Like to see him handle a caseload of 121 students, many of whom have different eds plans and accommodations to consider

10:32 am

doseffing

... My fear which is made worse by listening to some interviews on the news is most of them are sitting at home doing nothing (sorry ... then is local high school students) ... you don't have to learn it all and you don't have to learn it completely and you don't even have to completely understand it ... using all the materials that are available, if you get ahead of the game, maybe the spring semester can be saved but if people sit around for the next six weeks then either they'll be repeating the semester next fall (or net spring if we can't figure out a schedule) or we'll give them the credit and they can go off to university woefully behind

10:35 am

doseffing

... home schooling is a marvelous idea ... but when they come back to the public school or university to finish they're miles ahead in the parents' favourite subject and lost completely in other subjects ...

10:35 am

doseffing

..... must be off ... luck to all who continue the struggle ...

10:35 am

MollyL

Teachers are our most valuable asset. And I think they are grossly underpaid and grossly under appreciated.

10:38 am

bojazz

Amen, Molly...

10:41 am

cybernan

Even if I lived closer I don't think I could help -- my methods of teaching are so old fashioned -- I would expect them to memorize the multiplication tables and use phonics to learn how to spell, as well as teaching proper grammar :D

10:48 am

MollyL

God Nan, I would love it if someone would insist on proper grammar these days. We are raising a generation of kids who know nothing about it. And penmanship? A lost art. Sad.

10:50 am

cybernan

They also have no idea if they are getting the correct change at a store or even approximately what the total of their purchases should be unless they have a calculator in their hands.

10:52 am

Trifioso

I certainly still do that, cyber! I even teach sentence diagramming!

10:55 am

cybernan

glad to hear it Trif -- our schools don't seem to think that correct spelling and grammar is that important.

11:00 am

MollyL

I hear from other people in my field on a regular basis about the horrible resumes they are getting, full of bad grammar, misspellings and abbreviations instead of entire words.

11:01 am

M3

Im gonna way in here from my perspective. I work in a secondary schol in the uk where learners have beed kicked out of their shools for a number of reasons, we will be calling home every day to ensure they are safe, Education for our learners is secondary to their saftey. Teacher roll im my situations is to Teach the subject, whilst guiding them into making better choises. They will not complete any of the acitivies given to them on the numerous platforms.

11:03 am

rururocks

i'll weigh in too .. i see it in our local newspaper, edited with the poorest english imaginable.

11:06 am

cybernan

yes I wasn't talking about any specific school - I realize specialty schools do need to make accommodations. I was speaking about the provincial curriculum in general -- I think the standards in some subjects have gone downhill. My daughter teaches math, physics and computer science at the university level and is constantly annoyed bye the inability of first year students to calculate anything without a machine to assist them.

anyone else try pompei just in case there was a def. other than the city?

11:12 am

MollyL

The internet is the primary way of communication between people these days. If no time is taken to spell correctly there, it will transfer to other methods of communication. I see examples of that daily.

11:13 am

M3

I can only speak for the UK when i worked in a mianstream school (normal) the pressure was to get the grades, this meant missing out on a lot of the basics, The end grade was all that matters, and still does.

11:13 am

rururocks

then that's sad M3 to me

11:14 am

Children have lost the art of commnication, they are unable to have a normal conversation. I see this even the in the most able learners

11:22 am

rururocks

just like Mitch McConnel

11:22 am

BzznBea

Pretty much, ru...but it is wet and slimy...

11:22 am

mixi6

I do not have the word M3.

11:23 am

MLFAN17

I don't either

11:23 am

MLFAN17

i have a re6

11:23 am

MLFAN17

bzz?

11:24 am

MLFAN17

bzz i think the grocery store got a shipment today

11:24 am

MLFAN17

Fod Lion

11:24 am

BzznBea

re8 is to put a law or rule back in place.

11:24 am

MLFAN17

Food

11:26 am

BzznBea

Probably so mlf. They are getting their regular trucks.

11:26 am

MLFAN17

ah ok:)

11:27 am

BzznBea

The only place there is a shortage is in the stores. Warehouses are well supplied.

11:27 am

M3

ty Bzz

11:27 am

cybernan

surely sooner or later the hoarders will be finished and the rest of us will be able to shop again

11:27 am

MLFAN17

they also need drivers

11:27 am

MLFAN17

m3 i haven't found the word yet

11:28 am

MollyL

The problem is, stores get regular supplies, then people hoard things and thus, they are out of "demand" items.

11:28 am

MLFAN17

true molly

11:29 am

cybernan

re + first person contraction + what a model does

11:29 am

BzznBea

I think stores are shutting down the hoarding by limiting to one or two items.

11:29 am

MollyL

My grocery store had some toilet paper today. Yet there were people with carts full of it, so they will run out again shortly.

11:30 am

BzznBea

All the stores in my area are limiting toilet paper and paper towels. They were also limiting bread, milk and eggs.

11:30 am

cybernan

ep 6 please?

11:30 am

MLFAN17

bzz i hadn't heard that yet... they should have started out doing that though

11:31 am

MollyL

One of my stores was out of eggs today. The other had only 18 packs, which I don't usually buy. So egg salad is in our forecast this week.

11:31 am

BzznBea

ep6 - begin with the allergy pin and end with French sea.

11:31 am

MLFAN17

cyber ends in word for urine

11:32 am

MollyL

Good clue Bea

11:32 am

cybernan

same here, bea. I was hoping to get 2 weeks worth of groceries (everyone is supposed to be trying to self isolate for 2 weeks) but the limit was one loaf of bread and one pound of butter, so that didn't work

11:32 am

BzznBea

Have you ever made creamed eggs on toast, Molly?

11:32 am

rururocks

yeah.. except try buying epipens now.. they're ridiculously expensive

11:32 am

MLFAN17

ty got the re8

11:32 am

rururocks

i just had egg salad on toast

11:33 am

BzznBea

They have been crazy priced for a while though, ru. Big pharma...

11:34 am

cybernan

ty bea

11:34 am

rururocks

i just snort benedryl now as an option :D

11:34 am

cybernan

They are over $100 each here -- that gets pretty expensive for those who have to carry them with them all the time

11:35 am

rururocks

yeah.. and they expire really quickly.. i paid 800 for mine here in the US

11:35 am

rururocks

it is obscene

11:35 am

BzznBea

Do you carry the children's benedryl, ru? It is chewable and gets into the system quicker.

11:36 am

cybernan

yes - I think our granddaughter has to replace hers once a month

11:36 am

rururocks

no.. but that's a great idea bea

11:36 am

rururocks

i can't afford $10k worth of Epipens here Nan in the chance i eat a walnut

11:37 am

BzznBea

The dosage is by weight, so just figure out how much you need per your weight.

11:37 am

cybernan

ty mlf

11:37 am

rururocks

well... it'll be a lot i weigh a lot more than a little kid :D

11:37 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* some strange words again today

11:39 am

MLFAN17

My husband just likes to stock up on what we had before all this started(which is what he wants to do) With the situation the way it is now he cant do that with everything we already have. FYI I am not THAT disappointed

11:39 am

MollyL

Nothing new Nan. Same shit, different day.

11:39 am

cybernan

hagd everyone :)

11:40 am

MollyL

So what do you usually stock up on, MLF

11:40 am

BzznBea

I think stocking up will be put on the back burner for a while, mlf.

11:40 am

MLFAN17

i hope so!

11:41 am

MollyL

I don't really stockpile anything. I usually just buy what we use on a weekly basis.

11:41 am

rururocks

well.. i'm not going to contribute to the hoarding mentality. I am buying what i need and can use only

11:41 am

MLFAN17

Its not a stock up on, its whatever we usually have.. if we eat one box or can of something he just replaces it with another box or can of it

11:42 am

MLFAN17

ruru its gotten to that point in my opion

11:42 am

MollyL

Oh well that is not really stocking up then.

11:42 am

MLFAN17

i have fe 5/20 ending in r clue for the other one pls?

11:43 am

MollyL

We don't eat a lot of food that comes in cans or boxes.

11:43 am

MLFAN17

We eat bananas. and hubby loves apples

11:44 am

MLFAN17

Molly, that is so awesome that you don't :)

11:44 am

BzznBea

We don't either, Molly. Thursday, I felt like I was on a cooking vacay as I fixed a bag of Trader Joes frozen chicken fried rice for mom and Mr. Bea andfrozen chicken nuggets and salad for me.

11:45 am

rururocks

no corn chips?

11:45 am

BzznBea

BTW, frozen chicken nuggets under the air fryer are sooo good! They are one of my secret obsessions.

11:45 am

MLFAN17

11:46 am

BzznBea

NO corn chips!

11:46 am

rururocks

LOL

11:46 am

MLFAN17

11:47 am

BzznBea

Larry is so desperate for snack stuff, he's been eating cinnamon toast crunch dry.

11:47 am

BzznBea

I don't dip my nuggets.

11:47 am

MLFAN17

i have some cereal i have been eating from the box too

11:47 am

MLFAN17

bzz no bbq sauce?

11:48 am

MLFAN17

My husband and i are junk food junkies

11:48 am

BzznBea

I have homemade bbq sauce, but don't want it on my nuggets.

11:48 am

mixi6

I am trying to eat only enough to not crave anything. I am not getting enough exercise to burn off anything.

11:49 am

MLFAN17

i love chicken nuggets dipped in bbq sauce!

11:49 am

MLFAN17

or should i say that i can dip in bbq sauce but oddly enough i don't like bbq chicken lol

11:50 am

MLFAN17

fe 5/20 not getting in r clue pls?

11:52 am

BzznBea

When we started this worm farm, we started with 10,000 red wigglers. They are not very big worms. only about an inch long. And of course they have mulitplied...

11:52 am

MollyL

I have considered buying an air fryer. But I am already a candidate for Kitchen Appliances Anonymous, so I am trying not to contribute to my addiction.

my mom would die at the thought of a worm farm. she hates worms. her sister used to throw tobacco worms on her when they were working in the fields as kids.

11:53 am

rururocks

worm sex at Bea's house.. (Pass it on)

11:53 am

BzznBea

11:54 am

BzznBea

I am going back to digging through poop...20 left...

11:54 am

hokie carla

yes, bea, but it is so big it takes up as much space as another appliance!

11:54 am

MLFAN17

not a worm person either

11:54 am

MollyL

The instapot is one thing I have no desire to buy. An electric pasta maker though...I look at them on Amazon and then "just say no"

11:55 am

MollyL

What did people do during the Corona Virus isolation? One woman in North Carolina, perpetuated worm sex.

12:17 pm

rururocks

i think kentucky can never make enough alcohol :D

12:17 pm

hokie carla

yeah they used to say hand sanitizer was actually bad because it's making all the bacteria resistant

12:17 pm

hokie carla

I thought that's what she meant at first, ru. KY bourbon

12:17 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy I have heard and read that it is better to use soap then hand sanitizer

12:18 pm

MLFAN17

Not sure off hand as to why but it is what I am using

12:18 pm

rururocks

12:36 pm

hokie carla

:D

12:37 pm

MollyL

I am not a big fan of abbreviations either. Go the extra distance and actually spell out the thing you are trying to convey.

12:37 pm

hokie carla

but what if I am typing with one hand and want to shorten everything

12:37 pm

zoozzoom

I will do my best! Laugh out loud.

Depends on your sense of humor

12:39 pm

12:41 pm

ch1212

12:41 pm

hokie carla

if I actually laughed out loud at something I will say "I literally just LOL'd"

12:41 pm

MollyL

If someone is laughing out loud every time they post LOL, I question their sense of humor

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

depend on subject i suppose?

12:42 pm

hurshy

hey, if there was an audible snort, then, that's laughing out loud, in a way...

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

i am not getting that sp word?

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

lima is the capital of peru

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

agreed hurshy

12:43 pm

hokie carla

yes, we all know that, parker. it was already stated in the chat

12:43 pm

ch1212

sp + last three letters of a column of smoke, called a pl5

12:44 pm

I read he was in hospice

12:46 pm

hurshy

a virus is a natural cause

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

waggoner had cancer

12:46 pm

hokie carla

I assumed from the hospice that he had cancer or something

12:47 pm

MollyL

I think they would be making a big deal out of it if he died of COVID-19

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

probably true Molly

12:47 pm

hurshy

yeah probably

12:47 pm

MollyL

And I don't consider a virus a natural cause when it comes to cause of death

12:48 pm

hurshy

well it's a hecka lot more natural than a gunshot wound

12:48 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I would call that a sudden illness

12:49 pm

hokie carla

I mean technically it's from nature, but I think "natural causes" implies old age related things.

12:50 pm

ch1212

My favorite song of his was Ruby in 1967, when he was still considered more of a pop artist from his days with First Edition... he was considered a bit of a hippie by many of the country artists at the time. I liked his music.

12:51 pm

MollyL

â™ªYou picked a fine time to leave us, Kenny Râ™« He made a great contribution to the music scene. Off to the big show.

12:51 pm

well done, zooz

12:52 pm

so, like, if there's going to have to be a lot more social distancing for a long time, my grandmother is in a nursing home and is like 95 and visitors aren't allowed now and i'm wondering if any of us will ever see her alive again, because even if she doesn't get the virus, like, well, she's old, and this may make life more depressing not having visitors and stuff...

12:52 pm

MollyL

Bye Zoom. Blessings to you and your parents.

12:52 pm

bichon

me 6/30, pls

12:53 pm

MollyL

Are you able to visit via Skype or Face Time? That might cheer her up.

12:53 pm

hokie carla

true, hurshy. I'm sorry.

12:53 pm

hurshy

i don't know, i doubt the staff have time to facilitate a lot of calls and there's no way my grandma or most people her age can handle tech stuff like that themselves

12:54 pm

hokie carla

bichon, not a large or small, or a psychic

12:54 pm

ch1212

hurshy, out here in Washington we have several nursing homes and assisted living places quarantined. Many of the family members are going and standing outside their loved one's window.

12:54 pm

i just hope all the factories get quickly moving - i heard that auto manufacturers said that they can start making ventilators - i hope lots of other companies will be doing that and things like masks and stuff for the health care people

12:56 pm

rururocks

my favorite was islands in the stream.. and i also really like what condition my condition was in. (especially in the big lebowski) :D

12:56 pm

rururocks

(country trivia) Barry Gibb from the BeeGees wrote Islands in the Stream

12:57 pm

hokie carla

yeah, Islands has been stuck in my head most of the day, with a little coward of the county thrown in

12:57 pm

MLFAN17

true ruru and did it was a duet

12:57 pm

hokie carla

did you steal that from when I posted it earlier, ru? (j/k - I know you don't read the chat archive)

12:57 pm

MLFAN17

i love The Gambler

12:58 pm

ch1212

And "Lady", though I liked it more when it first came out. I was working at a country-western station at the time, and it got WAY too much airplay, so I got tired of it.

12:59 pm

rururocks

no.. sorry hokie.. i don't read back.. so i just knew it actually

12:59 pm

hokie carla

ah, Lady was a good one

12:59 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it's good trivia ru - my mind was blown when I first learned that a few years ago

1:00 pm

MLFAN17

i gtg will be back..

1:00 pm

hokie carla

barry gibb is one of the most successful songwriters in music history

1:00 pm

rururocks

i remember when i was bartending in Oregon and the jukebox would play "On the Road again" about 250 times a day.. i finally ripped the record out of the jukebox and threw it like a frisbee out of the bar

1:01 pm

rururocks

everytime someone would punch in Willy.. all they'd get was thump thump thump.. scratch.. thump thump thump it was necessary to save my sanity

1:02 pm

ch1212

YES! That was another that got way too much airplay, and I'm sorry to confess I was partly responsible for that. In my defense, the timing of the song was 2:30, which was perfect for backing into top of the hour or bottom of the hour news. There weren't many songs of that length, so it got more airplay from stations because of that.

1:02 pm

Bugsaw

Islands in the stream does not make a lick of sense

1:04 pm

rururocks

true.. but it's a lovely song

1:04 pm

ch1212

Ditto Dan Fogelberg's song Auld Lang Syne, which was much longer than most songs. It let me go to the bathroom, get coffee, etc ... Of course, most stations are automated these days.

1:05 pm

hurshy

can i interrupt the rogers love fest to list 7s and 8s and find out what the others are?
i have:
im7
ru7
so7
te8

1:05 pm

rururocks

so when you hear that song now .. do you have to head for the restroom CH ? :D

1:05 pm

bichon

re 6/30, pls

1:06 pm

rururocks

ok.. everyone back to kitties

1:06 pm

hurshy

bichon: cure

1:06 pm

ch1212

LOL!!!!! Good one, ru. And probably true - I just didn't recognize the connection.

1:07 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of people who know that Barry Gibb wrote Islands In The Stream

1:08 pm

rururocks

it's weird because i hate most beegee songs

1:08 pm

hurshy

so, does anyone have the other 8 or my missing 7? :D

1:08 pm

bichon

ty hurshy, fw

1:09 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of people who don't know that Neil Diamond wrote Red Red Wine, speaking of music writing trivia.

1:09 pm

rururocks

THAT i did not know

1:09 pm

MollyL

Everyone, Hurshy needs some attention
: P

1:09 pm

rururocks

i only have two sevens.. no idea

1:10 pm

rururocks

i do have both 8's though

1:10 pm

hurshy

mk cool so what is the other one besides te8

1:11 pm

rururocks

re8/50

1:11 pm

MollyL

Neil Diamond wrote several songs that got more traction from other artists. Like "I'm A Believer". Everyone thinks The Monkees for that one.

1:11 pm

hurshy

thank you!

1:12 pm

rururocks

the only Neil Diamond song I like is Holly Holy

1:12 pm

MollyL

My favorite Neil Diamond song is Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show

1:13 pm

ch1212

Mine was Come Play Me. Beautiful melody and his tone was perfect.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

made my lunch, what'd I miss?

1:15 pm

hokie carla

there is a neil diamond song I like but I can't think of it right now with islands in the stream stuck in my head

1:15 pm

ch1212

1:17 pm

hokie carla

I did know he wrote I'm a Believer but did not know about Red Red Wine

1:17 pm

1:20 pm

MollyL

Oh good, now I have Neil Diamond blasting. Good memories.

1:20 pm

hokie carla

to set a rule (like a curfew) again

1:20 pm

rururocks

re8 to reassert yourself in a situation

1:20 pm

hurshy

if necessary, we should re8 a 20% tax on luxury goods

1:20 pm

hurshy

e + what the weasel goes + double vowel

1:21 pm

MollyL

I saw Neil Diamond in concert twice. He never did Red Red Wine. And then UB40 made it insanely popular.

Y = singular of an exclamation that people usually say plural

1:27 pm

hokie carla

probably normally seen as yi5, player girl, like an interjection

1:28 pm

1:46 pm

hurshy

two po words that rhyme with mr. lasorda

1:46 pm

hokie carla

yeah, could've used that 3 min ago. those took me a while

1:47 pm

hurshy

lol sorry

1:47 pm

MollyL

This is interesting (From CNN)...Should I wear a face mask in public?
Probably not. Masks keep germs in by preventing sick people from coughing or sneezing into the air. But they don't protect healthy people from coming into contact with those germs.

1:49 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I had read that the other day

1:49 pm

hurshy

and the kind of masks that do prevent germs getting IN are desperately needed by hospitals

1:50 pm

hurshy

however, if you wear a bandana around your face it can at least help remind you not to touch your face, so that could be useful if you're mostly staying home but you go out to buy food or whatever.

1:50 pm

hokie carla

true

1:51 pm

hurshy

it sounds like they think transmission is more from touching surfaces and then touching face than from direct germs in the air from a sick person

1:52 pm

hokie carla

plus the CDC has said hospital workers can wear bandanas, etc. as a last resort, as it's better than nothing. I read a study yesterday that showed the efficacy of different fabrics. I keep seeing things about making your own or making some to donate, but it seems no one can agree on the best type to make and I don't even know if hospitals here are taking them.

1:53 pm

hurshy

the thing i saw in WA asking for volunteers to make them was giving the supplies to the volunteers of the medical grade material, but, they were also already out of kits

1:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, plunging in

1:54 pm

hurshy

yeah i saw a doctor commenting on that CDC advice and they were so freaked out because they are used to CDC advice being like... do these scientifically proven things and so forth, and this advice is like "the situation is that bad"

1:54 pm
