Hi Sprite! How are you doing?

1:58 am

sprite

hi Kam *hug* Still rather wobbly. Very quickly tired out and all. But grateful to be alive. How about you and Michael?

1:59 am

Kamanjah

We are safe. He's not good at staying home. My stomach has been bothering me on and off, but hopefully it will quit soon. Sorry you're still getting so tired.

2:00 am

Kamanjah

*hug* - I'm so tired, getting ready to find my last word and go to bed.

2:00 am

sprite

it will take time, I guess. Glad you guys are safe at least. Hope you will be able to get that stomach settled.

2:01 am

Kamanjah

I hope you get some energy back very soon, it has been a long slog for you.

2:02 am

sprite

too true. 2 whole months now. But I went out for a short stroll yesterday! So that was amazing. THere is a whole world out there, did you know? :)

2:03 am

Kamanjah

I know! I haven't been out in a couple of weeks. We have to take the dog to the vet Tues, and can't go in with him. He hurt his leg.

2:04 am

Kamanjah

FW - a plural I overlooked.
Glad you got out for some air. Good to see you!

2:04 am

sprite

here, the vets are allowed to start treating again. With all precautions of course, only one person with the animal, distance, mouthcaps, no hands, etc.

Morning all! Hope everyone is well....

Can anyone tell me if the AP8 is a word in common usage?

6:26 am

godthaab

Not any more. It was most commonly used between 1800 and 1820, and then it took a sharp decline.

6:28 am

MollyL

Babble, the land of ancient words no longer in use.

6:29 am

godthaab

I think once you get the word you will know immediately what it means.

6:52 am

Atalante

1800 - 1820! very specific :)

hi there French (lil monkey)

7:13 am

BzznBea

Morning, monkey.

7:13 am

periwinkle

I did that with potato chips yesterday :(

7:13 am

FrenchToast

I made Cilantro Lime Chicken in the crockpot overnight, can't wait to have soft tacos today.

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Yay, FT.

7:15 am

BzznBea

That sounds yummy. I may do chicken fajitas in the instant pot for dinner tonight.

7:15 am

FrenchToast

Yum! I love anything Mexican, TEx-Mex, or taco-related.

7:16 am

Atalante

cilantro lime chicken sounds amazing

7:16 am

FrenchToast

I can put the ingredients in my profile if anyone's interested. It's super easy.

7:17 am

Atalante

yes please!

7:19 am

FrenchToast

OK it's there!

7:22 am

BzznBea

Thanks, monkey. Will have to try it.

7:23 am

FrenchToast

Just in time for Cinco de Mayo!

7:24 am

BzznBea

Which is on Taco Tuesday. And canceled by a virus with the name of a Mexican beer...

7:24 am

FrenchToast

Is anyone else watching Hoarders right now?

7:24 am

BzznBea

I can not handle that show. Creeps me out!

7:25 am

FrenchToast

I get so frustrated. Why do the shrinks baby those people?????

7:29 am

MollyL

I'm with Bea, that show creeps me out. As for shrinks, their job is to make people feel understood, THEN help them find ways to get healthy.

7:30 am

Atalante

mmm that looks delicious :)

7:57 am

This is a video a friend of mine sent about making face masks. All you non-sewers out there, take a look. =) https://tinyurl.com/y99ts7dy

11:36 am

LisaG

Good afternoon everybody! Just started on this one today. normally I don't pop in on the weekend, but the boyfriend is working on building a new spice rack for my kitchen, and I am kind of twiddling my thumbs lol

11:36 am

LisaG

I might go for a walk in a little bit :)

11:37 am

LisaG

He is so excited about his new wood cutting tools he got for Christmas, and its a nice day out, so he is finally having an opportunity to test them out. I am a little lost in that world.

11:40 am

LisaG

*Narnia should def be allowed :)

11:41 am

zoozzoom

I am sure the spice rack he is making will look really nice in the kitchen, LisaG.

11:41 am

amelu0218

Yeah, proper noun but I've tried it more than once, lol

11:42 am

amelu0218

and woodworking can be very tranquil if you are not in a 'gotta get it done now' frame of mind...

11:42 am

LisaG

I am excited! We have been remodeling the kitchen during quarantine, and finally finished the painting and trim, and then he suggested building a new spice rack (the previous one was one my boys refurbished from an old medicine cabinet almost 10 years ago).

11:43 am

LisaG

We took our time on the kitchen, doing bigger stuff on the weekends, and little things each evening during the work week. It paid off, it looks amazing.

11:45 am

zoozzoom

There is nothing more satisfying than making things yourself from scratch instead of just buuying it in the shop. Kudos to you both for going for it. Sounds like you both have enjoyed this lockdown in doing something together and constructive at that!

11:45 am

LisaG

Just found a weird na4. Never heard of it before.

11:46 am

NatashaW

Indian bread perhaps?

11:46 am

zoozzoom

All Ns have been in the grid before.

11:46 am

LisaG

Yes, zoom. the first few days were netflix and games, and then just netflix... so we took a few ideas from pinterest and went with it. We are fortunate that the local Home Depot is open during this pandemic.

11:47 am

LisaG

No, an na word that was all vowels except the first letter. It might have been in the grid before, but I don't always finish, and don't always get all the odd words lol

11:48 am

LisaG

it means a temple

11:48 am

zoozzoom

In that case change the last letter and you will have another word.

11:48 am

NatashaW

that's a classic babblet

11:48 am

NatashaW

the plural ends in a vowel

11:48 am

LisaG

Thanks!

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I am missing an n in 1st col. I have the bread and the grandmother

12:07 pm

LisaG

its tricky to clue.

12:07 pm

hokie carla

what is the stat?

12:08 pm

hokie carla

maybe I can just find it. ha.

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

hokie carla

ok, will try some stuff, thax

12:09 pm

hokie carla

well, that was a good clue, thanks!

12:09 pm

MollyL

It is astounding how differently this virus stay at home thing is affecting people. Some are out of work and in fear of losing their homes, others have the money to remodel. I see new roofs going up all over my neighborhood.

12:09 pm

LisaG

You are welcome!

12:10 pm

hokie carla

my neighborhood HOA put a moratorium on approving things, which stinks for the people that want to use this time to do things to their houses. it's odd IMO, because all they have to do is stand outside and look at a house from the street.

12:11 pm

LisaG

Molly, we are both fortunate that our jobs are essential. Marc is a project manager for the salt mine. He has to go to work everyday still. And, my job is able to work from home fortunately. Neither of us have been impacted monetarily thank goodness!

12:12 pm

cybernan

good morning all -- hope everyone is still healthy, staying home and staying safe :)

12:12 pm

hokie carla

hi nan! we are actually in our motorhome this weekend, but I consider that staying home.

12:13 pm

LisaG

We have been impacted in other ways, my mother is now sick, I have watched from afar as my friends mother has passed away, and now my son, who has a weak heart, is sick along with his girlfriend. We have watched as stores have closed, food has been more scarce, and the world has shut down around us.

12:13 pm

cybernan

depends on whether or not you are in an isolated spot or in an rv park, I guess

12:13 pm

hokie carla

sitting by a relaxing creek right now. so good to feel somewhat normal.

12:13 pm

cybernan

we are still under a no travel advisory.

12:14 pm

hokie carla

well, we're in an RV park but not getting near anyone

12:14 pm

hokie carla

sorry to hear that, lisa

12:14 pm

LisaG

It has been a hard transition, and thank goodness we have been able to do something to keep our minds off of all the negativity and harsh reality around us.

12:16 pm

LisaG

I have called them everyday. I have sent edible arrangements to them and had puzzles delivered. It is hard to be away from my loved ones while they are coping with their own stresses. Normally we use each other to get through tough times.

12:17 pm

cybernan

yes -- it seems like the US either has a lot fewer restrictions than we do, or the people just aren't paying any attention unless they are made a punishable offence. Most people here are voluntarily self isolating as much as possible -- even in rural areas. As a result our province has relatively few cases and deaths compared to those with similar populations and demographics. Most of our cases are coming from 4 nursing homes and 3 businesses that employ foreign workers.

12:19 pm

Gadget

Any clues for the very first A top left?

12:19 pm

cybernan

12:19 pm

Thank you!

12:21 pm

LisaG

cybernan- the restrictions in Ohio are more of suggestions, with the acceptance of a few. I have rarely gone out of the house, but when I have, I can see that things are different and less people are out. The people that are out are mostly covered up. (masks, gloves)

12:23 pm

LisaG

Unfortunately, not everyone is following strict guidelines, including people like my son and mother. My son just bought his first home right when everything was starting up with the pandemic in our area, and yet, he still asked for help from friends to move in, still had people over to show them his new home.

12:23 pm

LisaG

My mom and dad have still gone to see my brother, who is a plumber, and goes into different people's homes everyday. It is shocking to me that they weren't taking this more seriously.

12:24 pm

cybernan

that sounds like what we have too - most business could have stayed open but are opting to close --- probably because nobody wants to go out anyway.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

we had our motorhome in our driveway before we left and some neighbors walked by and asked if they could have a tour. I was like, uh, NO.

12:24 pm

LisaG

Oh my Carla, even if it wasn't during these times, why would a stranger ask to tour your private property? weird.

12:25 pm

LisaG

There are some businesses that are not allowed to be open, like barbers and salons, but most stores are considered essential and can find a loophole to stay open.

12:25 pm

hokie carla

well, they aren't strangers and I would've taken them on in regular times

12:26 pm

LisaG

That makes a difference.

12:26 pm

cybernan

the main reason people here are being asked not to travel is because hospital capacity and facilities in the resort and rural areas are much less well equpped to handle a large influx of people than the cities are. BC has a lot of holiday/resort areas that could not handle a major outbreak among tourists.

12:27 pm

LisaG

I think we are being asked not to travel due to being in a major city, and carrying the virus to other areas.

12:29 pm

LisaG

any clues for the ro7/8 ?

12:30 pm

cybernan

we live in a resort area where normally the Albertans come for the May long weekend and the Vancouver street people come to live in our parks --- hope they stay home this year!

12:30 pm

marksdolly

ro + cont+ a 4/4

12:30 pm

marksdolly

then for the 8 add another constant at the end of it

12:30 pm

LisaG

Our parks are closed here, that was not a suggestion, they went to all the parks and taped them off.

12:32 pm

cybernan

ro 7-8: sounds like it could be a measles virus - or something to do with the holy beads: most of a flower + operatic solo

12:33 pm

LisaG

got it! thanks :)

12:33 pm

cybernan

sane here lisa -- provincial camp grounds also

12:33 pm

LisaG

down to 19

12:34 pm

LisaG

I live in Cleveland, there might be some campgrounds in surrounding suburbs, but none really here in the city

12:45 pm

LisaG

4 left, all s words :)

12:47 pm

ha ha one is what you wash your body with - cant believe i didnt see that earlier!

12:50 pm

fireworks :) have a great Sunday everybody.

12:55 pm

ap 8 please?

12:55 pm

Judi

Howdilly-doo, neighbors.

12:56 pm

cybernan

hi judi

1:02 pm

hokie carla

state parks are still closed here but are supposed to open back up next week I think

1:04 pm

cybernan

I don't understand why you are camping then

1:04 pm

hokie carla

I saw where the provincial parks are closed to vehicles, but I just read about a white grizzly sighting in Banff along the Trans Canada hwy, so I guess the NP is still open?

1:04 pm

cybernan

NP?

1:05 pm

hokie carla

national parks

1:05 pm

cybernan

nothing is open -- the highway goes right through the national park and the highways have always been open to essential travel.

1:05 pm

hokie carla

we have campgrounds that aren't state parks

1:06 pm

periwinkle

hi all. I am making an eggplant artichoke ragout

1:06 pm

hokie carla

county parks near me opened back up last Thu

1:06 pm

hokie carla

hi peri!

1:06 pm

cybernan

so do we carla, but they have been asked to remain closed and people are being asked not to travel unless it is for essential purposes (ie work related and truckers)

1:08 pm

cybernan

locals don't really want people from other areas coming into their grocery stores either

1:08 pm

hokie carla

this one just opened this weekend so they must be allowing it

1:08 pm

hokie carla

we already had the spot booked back in Jan

1:09 pm

hokie carla

and we brought all groceries from home

1:09 pm

cybernan

as I said there are private ones open here too and there are a few people camping there --- I don't think it is a good idea -- just increases the probability of spread.

1:09 pm

cybernan

any time people travel the spread of virus is increased.

1:10 pm

hokie carla

we follow some full-timers on YouTube and they were allowed to stay at the one they were at when it closed. what are you supposed to do if you are a full-time RVer and don't have a house to go back to?

1:10 pm

periwinkle

apparently it is 72 degrees outside. will go out in a little bit even tho the sun is hiding

1:11 pm

cybernan

I don't think whether something is being allowed should be a guide to our actions --- look at Florida -- would you want to go to one of those crowed beaches or live in a town where people are flocking to the beach? The concept of community or herd immunity sounds great -- but not so great for those or the families of those who die.

1:11 pm

cybernan

*off by soapbox now

1:13 pm

cybernan

re 1:10 -- that is their home then. Totally different from people going there for a week or two or even just a weekend.

1:13 pm

cybernan

They probably aren't too happy about differnt people coning in all the time either.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

you can't compare us at a roomy campsite staying away from everyone to a crowded beach. of course I wouldn't want to go to one.

1:16 pm

cybernan

carla --- don't travel means don't travel --- everyone has to come to realize the significance of staying home before the spread of this thing stops. We have one province who closed all borders to everyone but essential workers and enforced strict stay at home laws. They have now gone for 14 days with no new cases!

ah that is the one I'm looking for, judi

1:26 pm

MollyL

This is why the restrictions in place will not be completely effective. Everyone interprets them to suit their own needs. Case in point, why am I seeing people in grocery stores with masks on, but no gloves?

hello friends, and darling phan!!!!

7:47 pm

Trifioso

we seem to be crossing paths a lot lately, hooray!

7:48 pm

dcseain

hi, trifioso :)

7:49 pm

Trifioso

oooh, seain, I owe you a message! readers digest version - we are not allowed to do ANY live teaching. All instruction MUST be direct to video, and any class meetings or live chats can ONLY be asynchronous, "does anyone have any questions" type stuff - it STINKS

7:50 pm

dcseain

it's similar here, and no grading in VA through end of year. Not sure whether opening in Fall yet either.

7:51 pm

Trifioso

here as well. if we do, it will look a WHOLE lot different

7:52 pm

Trifioso

I have at least one student who should NOT be at home. And how they have been there for going on 8 weeks. Every time he hands something in, I heave such a sigh of relief, just to know he is okay, at some level

7:52 pm

dcseain

i'm not sure how, or whether, promotion should happen this year. I even started letting Class of 2020 into the alumni group last month, as things are all different this year.

7:52 pm

Trifioso

what a nice idea! Makes them feel like they have something special. I like it!

7:53 pm

dcseain

it seemed only fair. We have a hard 'have graduated' stance, but they won't get a formal graduation, if will receive papers.

7:54 pm

phandmd

can I have a clue for the PI 6 pls

7:54 pm

phandmd

No not that one

7:54 pm

Trifioso

i think we are doing a grad ceremony in august

7:54 pm

phandmd

PO 6 pls

7:54 pm

Trifioso

plural of dirty movies?

7:55 pm

dcseain

extend the po4 movie

7:55 pm

phandmd

why couldn't I see that? Thank you

7:55 pm

Trifioso

has anyone here ever had a cardiac stress test?

7:57 pm

Trifioso

i have one tomorrow, and just the idea is giving me stress. I wish I knew more what to expect. I have visions of them making me run 10 miles per hour and I have a heart attack on the spot. this doesn't run, believe me

7:59 pm

nrkii

Trifioso, I have had a couple of them.

7:59 pm

nrkii

They are not that bad.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

how awful are they?

7:59 pm

Trifioso

and thank you

8:00 pm

nrkii

Really, not bad.

8:00 pm

Trifioso

im so afraid of being terribly embarrassed when it becomes perfectly obvious how unfit i am

8:00 pm

nrkii

They just make you go quickly enough to get your heart rate up, and then they make you keep going at that rate for a few minutes. It's not as torturous as I imagined beforehand.

8:01 pm

Trifioso

how long do you have to stomp away?

8:01 pm

nrkii

Hard to put this delicately, but let me try this... The more fit you are, the harder they have to make you work to get your heart rate up.

8:01 pm

nrkii

So less fit usually means less work.

8:01 pm

Trifioso

oh! in my case I will be done in minutes! fabulous!

8:02 pm

nrkii

Ha!

8:02 pm

Trifioso

I really appreciate that, and your icon is GOLD

8:02 pm

nrkii

Good luck with it, and really, don't worry. It will be over before you know it.

8:04 pm

Trifioso

I really, really appreciate it

8:06 pm

phandmd

Finally done!

8:06 pm

Trifioso

huzzah for phan!

8:07 pm

8:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, very sorry to hear that. phycial test or resting stress test?

8:28 pm

Trifioso

8:28 pm

Trifioso

im fine, just have a lot of miles on me

8:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

physical is easy.

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

but even the suspiciion of heart issues are scary.

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have to go but i wish you well. it's the kind of test you should know how it goes right away.
