Uneaixoise

Loved wax lips!!

8:41 am

MollyL

Back when 50 cents could get you a lot of candy.

8:42 am

phaeton

Every 4th of July we were given .50 to spend on what we wanted...we would end up with a small sack full of candy!

8:43 am

MollyL

Back then, gas was 31 cents a gallon. People would pull into the gas station and ask for a dollars worth.

8:45 am

phaeton

I did that. One time the attendant was busy flirting with me and forgot to turn off the pump lol

8:49 am

MollyL

I can't remember the last time I saw a gas station attendant.

Wow, now this place is sticking the \n into tiny

that is interesting. I'm curious which part of VA he heard that.

1:42 pm

hokie carla

well, I groomed my dog and cleaned the house today. making headway on my to-do list.

1:49 pm

MollyL

Looks like Maryland is slowly re-opening. Salons and outdoor pools are opening. Yay for both. Now to see when I can get a pedicure appointment.

1:50 pm

I don't know if yesterday was a "big thing" or a teachable moment. It ended well.

2:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am in desperate need of some hair taming.

2:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I would worry about outdoor pools. There is going to be a second wave of the pandemic, and I might self-quarantine again for 2 weeks after I get a hair appointment. I do not want to go through what I went through again, or put anyone else through it, and I have no idea about antibodies.

2:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We're still waiting on our local mayor, who is prudent, and rightfully so

2:33 pm

Hello all--I see that Babble is an equal opportunity user of racial/ethnic slang... enough said

2:34 pm

harpjane

our outdoor pool has decided to open. They changed the entrance to avoid a bottleneck. They have a couple of outdoor showers. Locker rooms are for changing and bathrooms only. Lockers and other cubbies for clothing are not allowed. People need to bring a bag and keep their clothes with them. Max of 50 people in the pool. They are encouraging people to change at home if possible. It think it will work.

2:34 pm

I don't feel safe going back to the gym yet

2:49 pm

I needed a haircut a couple of months ago and put it off. Thne they closed the barber shops.

2:50 pm

wht

I had to do it because my hair was getting under the cords on my mask and pulling it off.

2:50 pm

The other ke is a plural

2:51 pm

libarebel

I always wondered if of** was Pig Latin for "oaf"

2:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Me too about the gym- and I could have gotten my hair taken care of the day before I got sick

2:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The of4 I learned from Ethel Waters' autobiography, "His Eye is on the Sparrow."

2:53 pm

libarebel

interesting-- never read that-- will put on list

2:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Out of print but worth it.

3:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

my doctor says to give gym a look., that they will be forced to do things very differently, as of now, i plan to return on 1 August. he is more concerned about concerts ,restaurants and religious observances.

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know that the gym is implementing new procedures. I am looking forward to my dance class. My drawing group--I don't know if we can maintain social distancing.

3:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

this thing has killed the dance scene. social dance, that is.

3:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never got advice about what to do since I was in the hospital for 3 days in March for pneumonia and "presumptive COVID" (tests were negative, symptoms were positive. )

3:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

my social life is dead dead dead till the vaccine.

3:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I do a modern dance class for over 55s in Cambridge. There are some hardy ladies in there.

3:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

the story of symptoms with negative tests is not uncommon.

3:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do daytime classes at the y and there is a large contingent of silver sneakers folks there. cannot rely on them to do the right thingl some barely know what end is up.

3:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

not being mean. giving a real picture of what's what.

3:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will be there some day, but not yet.

3:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I fainted on the floor bruising my face the day after the ER refused to test me because my fever wasn't high enough, so the day after there I was in an isolation unit. It was horrible. I spent the month of April in bed.

3:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i read your story, kap. awful.

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

damn it, my f words keep disappearing.

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

no wonder this grid seems endless.

3:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like telling it. It's my Feel Bad for My Trauma story. I'm just kidding. I don't like telling it, because it reminds me how scary it was.

3:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wa hospitalized once. what saved me was my ignorance of how serious it could have been. i hear you.

3:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

how's your strength now?

3:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's the third time in my life that my life was in danger without me fully knowing it. The last time was when my blood pressure spiked overnight and I had to deliver my daughter prematurely or we both would have died. All I thought of when I got stomach pains was that I had a stomach ache, not that I needed to get to the hospital STAT.

3:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow

3:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm fine now, but lazy. I usually only go out for specific things and those things are closed,

3:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

As for the birth story, it's been 25 years and mother and baby are doing well.

3:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had a hemoglobin of 8. that's transfusion territory. i called my brother to tell him i was on the way to hospital- driving myself- and SIL said i sounded so wek she thoght i was dying.

3:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

man, monkeys working overtime.

3:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hospitals are so uncomfortable. And no one could visit me, so I coughed for 24 hours at a time and used my cell phone and Facebook. A friend brought me mango gelato. They went to wave at me from the parking lot. I was on the iso. unit on the 18th floor. I signed myself out before I had to endure another night there.

3:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was the right decision.

3:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i left ama my last time in the ER. it was bull to make $, this er observation that medicare will not pay

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

my nurse/emt friend came and sprang me. before that, i was in the observation ward for 2 hours without ANYONE coming to see me.

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

make $

3:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I tore all the little sticky electrode things off myself. Half the doctors understood that I needed to leave, that watching me one more day wouldn't do anything.

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

damn make MONEY

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

no oxygen?

3:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

TO what a nightmare. Where are you- I forgot.

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

metro philly

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

had reaction to tramadol. it's bad medicine. even the hospitalist said so.

3:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

IWhen I was up during the day my oxygen improved, but I am a mouth breather. So I got one of those oxytocin's pulse things.

3:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah.

3:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The antibiotics cured the bacterial pneumonia.

3:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not oxytocin. Oxypulse

3:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

i got a visit by a nurse and aa doctor right quick when i took my monitor off and got dressed to leave.

3:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They even pumped me with the medication Trump was taking- hydrochlorazine or whatever.

3:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

really? did it seem to help?

3:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I grabbed my clothes, they put me in the wheelchair, my husband met me in the lobby and bye bye.

3:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

of course, by the time that was, it was after 10 PM sturady night, i had no purse, and the ambulance doesn't make return trips...

3:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

did the med help?

3:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Since no one confirmed that I had Covid, I think it was the ant abiotic that helped really.No definitive diagnosis, other than It Walks Like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck.

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

hmm. antibiotics don't help viruses and you are too young for the pneumonia vaccine/

3:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm better now, but think I would be high risk because of the pneumonia and occasional asthma. How old do you have to be for the pneumonia vaccine, because I'm gonna get it.

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

recommended for 65+, but maybe for those with chronic issues, not sure. it's only for bacterial pneumonia, most are viral.

3:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think the virus played out over the weeks I was in bed at home, but pneumonia knocks people out too, so who knows?

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

but from what i have heard, pneumonia is just awful. it wipes people out, no matter which type.

3:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I'm 64, they'll definitely give it to me. I will make sure of it.

3:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not going through that again.

3:28 pm

This one was dumb as the Native American, Russian, German and Asian ones. I think they make fun of making fun of people. The Hippies walked around with hair like Sonny Bono saying Groovy far out and here come the fuzz,

3:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And Max was costumed and 99 fell into a dance trance in a psychedelic room.

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now I have to go find that starter episode.

3:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

groovy

3:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope i got the episode right.

3:39 pm

Christa

Kaplan, is Smart a tv show?

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is why the stereotyping was so funny- because it was dumb

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Get Smart was a TV show starting in 1965

3:41 pm

Christa

I, too, grew up on the show having been born in 1956.

3:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

there was so much real tension around the cold war then, it was a relief to see it lampooned

3:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And everyone knew it was dumb. The only not dumb person was a woman who was not portrayed as a bimbo, agent 99, played by Barbara Feldon. Who was adorable and if I looked like her, I would wear her clothes today- chain belts, sweaters matching tights, miniskirts, and a really simple haircut with bangs- no bouffant

3:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. she was the only sane one

3:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that's right TO. It made fun of the Cold War and made everyone ridiculous.

3:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think she was, and is, adorable and smart.

3:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

real life around the bomb was awful enough. people don't realize how it changed even reagan, who was a diehard cnservative.

3:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Only Maxwell Smart had a name.

3:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

right, echoing the bond series.

3:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We hid under the desks as children to protect ourselves in case of attack. These were called shelter drills.

3:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, and The Man From UNCLE

3:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yes.

3:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

as if.

3:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You get the context. In yesterday's long discussion of a racist slur in the grid, I talked about Get Smart and must have sounded hypocritical. But Mel Brooks...

3:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow kap, do you think we had as much angst as the kids post 9-11 had, growing up? it was awfully worrisome.

3:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In the event of nuclear attack I was to meet my brother in the basement and walk home with him.

3:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, even today, when i hear the wailing type of fire siren, i get uneasy.

3:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's very visceral

3:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it's like the hospital- we didn't know enough about the missiles in Cuba (though I'm sure our mothers did)- it was just another thing you did in school

3:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I used to think Communists would come and force people out of their homes, but they would make a mistake and put our grandparents with us.

3:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

hell, i remember when the TWA plane crashed on the street in NYC- brooklyn?

3:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

tv was just coing into the classroom for instructional purposes.

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah, and all the assassinations were in my formative years. Now seeing the riots in Minnesota, I'm inclined to say we should ALL be in the streets-

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh yes, TV to watch John Glenn.

3:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was home from school the day JFK was shot. John John and I had the same birthday, his father's funeral, only I was 8 and he was 2 or 3.

3:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

kids fixate on strange things, things that adults would not think twice about. it's interesing. kap, i abamdoned my pursuit of PHD for marriage, left the social service field so husband could go to school.

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

but the stuff that kids would bring up...

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I kept working on my Ph.D. for 15 years. Stupid.

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

needed mor $ than that type of work would provide. and hated working shifts and holidays.

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

not stupid. persistent.

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, as a value decison, it was nothing. Intellectually it was meaningful, but it was a strange pursuit. My interests in the field are antiquated

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

would not mind going back for restorative justice., it interests me.

3:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

heck, i remember learnign all about the bad, cold mothers who caused autism.

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Restorative Justice is very good work.

3:55 pm

Ping

yes i agree

3:55 pm

Ping

hello btw :)

3:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i worked in a juvenile detention center.

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The schizophrenogenic mother, the refrigerator mother.

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

hiya ping.

3:56 pm

Ping

hi TO

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

exactly! and i was going to save those poor kids.

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm more of a social psych existentialist kind of person.

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

*ponders that*

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i loved industrial. and also comparative and physiologial

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I do Harm Reduction work. I have an astounding ability to not make money. I also am an artist. Very lucrative.

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think the latter was my fave. may have been the teacher.

3:58 pm

Ping

but it sound like GOOD work, Kaplan

3:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, when you are supporting someone..there were severl opportunities i could not take becaude i could nto afford to go to a starting salary.

4:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am sorry to talk so much. but good to talk a bit of nostalgia.

4:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's OK with me. I talked a lot yesterday and caused a lot of ruckus.

4:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

ping i forgot how much i love your avatar.

4:03 pm

Ping

it's cheerful, right?

4:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

that it is. whatup?

4:04 pm

Ping

i have started babbling again with the lockdown and am enjoying it

4:04 pm

Ping

not the lockdown, the babbling

4:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

good! it's nice to see you.

4:05 pm

Ping

you too :)

4:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

we will loosen up a week from today, not entirely, but somewhat.

4:07 pm

Ping

in terms of the lockdown?

4:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i am not quite sure about lockdown in the yellow phase. most of the guidance is bout commercial enterprise.

4:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i go out more often in the past 10 days or so. i am fatigued.

4:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

we were locked down first, around march 15

4:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

before the rest of the state. we were the epicenter.

4:13 pm

emusing

hey, 72 Temple Owl, I am also in PA, on the western side of the state, we are going green next week but I'm still staying home.

4:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'll be forced to stay home. all my social life is dancing and concerts.

4:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i am damned cranky about it. but glad you are green. you can get A HAIRCUT

4:16 pm

Ping

I'm in TX so technically things are opening up, but those who have a choice are still hunkering. I include myself and family.

4:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am no longer hunkering but am staying close to home. nothing to do.

4:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

must go, lovely to talk with you kap and ping. happy babbling.

4:26 pm

Ping

SEe you later, TO

Hi, y'all. I finished after the flip last night but I wanted to pop in to say how much I enjoyed the chat yesterday. I participated in the most thought provoking & intelligent conversation I've had in months and it truly lifted my heart and mood. It was so encouraging to exchange thoughts with such articulate people and I'm truly thankful to all for the experience.

good evening!

5:08 pm

NatashaW

Hey phan!

5:09 pm

NatashaW

And phan's beautiful doggie

5:09 pm

phandmd

how are you, Nat?

5:09 pm

phandmd

I miss her so much! We are trying to adopt a new dog, have an app in for a 5 month old black GSD mix, but haven't heard anything yet...

5:10 pm

NatashaW

I'm great, thanks! COVID sometimes opens a window as it slams other doors. Got to attend a very moving ceremony with 400 others in Israel thanks to Zoom!

5:10 pm

phandmd

That's pretty cool.

5:10 pm

NatashaW

I grew up with a great GSD, phan. Still think about him and moon over his photos.

5:10 pm

phandmd

They are awesome doggies!

5:11 pm

NatashaW

Good luck with adopting that pup! I love the pup stage with the giant paws and ears

5:11 pm

phandmd

yes. If not this one, another one will come along...

5:12 pm

NatashaW

Indeed. There's so many dogs out there needing and deserving a loving family!

5:12 pm

NatashaW

We have a 10 year old beautiful Rottie mix. She's got PTSD from abuse in puppyhood but she's the sweetest!

5:13 pm

phandmd

awww! so sorry she had a bad puppyhood

5:13 pm

NatashaW

As are we. They have no way to process their trauma so they just keep reliving it. But most of hte time she seems pretty contented living with us.

5:14 pm

phandmd

so glad she found you.

5:14 pm

NatashaW

We lavish love and attention and reassurance. We're both at home (hub's retired and I work from home) so she's never abandoned.

5:14 pm

phandmd

lovely

5:15 pm

NatashaW

So the COVID lockdown hasn't been too radical a change - only difference for her is no more dog park visits, which she did love

5:15 pm

NatashaW

Anyway - hope you get your pup soon and post a pic!

5:16 pm

phandmd

Thanks

5:18 pm

5:56 pm

MollyL

Hi Min, any news on your teaching situation and the easing of the virus restrictions?

5:58 pm

Minveryork

Hello Molly!No news yet,but there is a lot of speculation

5:58 pm

Minveryork

People believe schools will open because of the need for childcare. Also think that schools will open in September

6:08 pm

phandmd

There has been some talk of having alternating days/weeks here in MD

6:10 pm

phandmd

can I have a clue for the FE 5?

6:12 pm

Minveryork

fe 5/24 is in my story today. It means less than phandmd

6:12 pm

Minveryork

I'm just worried about finding a summer job at this time

6:13 pm

phandmd

thanks, Min. I always forget to look for your story. Heading there now...

6:15 pm

Minveryork

yw

6:17 pm

phandmd

you helped with a couple words... Thanks

6:18 pm

Minveryork

I'm glad it helped. Let me know if U need any more help

6:24 pm

MollyL

Min, I was very surprised to hear from someone here that on top of unemployment, you can get 600 a week from the government. Do you know about that?

6:29 pm

phandmd

RE 5/18

6:30 pm

phandmd

and the RE 6/21 please

6:31 pm

phandmd

bot the RE6

6:32 pm

and the 5....

6:33 pm

phandmd

and finished...

6:53 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations phandmd on your fireworks! Way to go!

6:55 pm

Minveryork

Yes, if you are getting unemployment you get additional money. However, I heard Mitch McConnell wants to stop that. I do not know how long people will get extra $ for

6:56 pm

Minveryork

I believe that U know who will have final say on that one

6:57 pm

MollyL

I was just surprised to hear how much money people who are not working are getting. I was concerned about the economy. Now I am not so concerned.

7:08 pm

libarebel

Hi-- just tuned in-- yes, I get $600. on top of my unemployment-- this funding supposedly goes thru July 31-- McConnell wants to block the next stimulus-- this one is in effest until July 31-- until you get a job, Min, you should file...

7:13 pm

Minveryork

Hello libarel!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

7:13 pm

Minveryork

Thank you for the information. Fortunately, I am able to work from home. I do not need to file for unemployment

7:44 pm

libarebel

Hey Min, doing well-- & you?

7:45 pm

libarebel

Oh, OK, M thought you were out of work-- good to be able to work remotely...

Fireworks! *~*~*~*~ My last was was wu4/9 - a rather cowardly word. Must've been hiding. No wonder it took me so long to find it!

Hi Jac, congratulations.

Hi origami.

I'm off to bed soon, but if anyone would like any clues in the next 20 mins or so, ask away!

10:25 pm

And I thought you never slept, Jac :D

10:26 pm

Ha, ha! Yes I get my 8 hours in most times, not always at conventional times. :)

10:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello origami!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

10:27 pm

Those other 16 hours a day you are on fire! All that gardening, cooking, knitting. I get worn out just thinking about it :D :D

10:28 pm

origami

Hi Min! I'm doing well, thank you. And you? I actually finished earlier but am just popping in trying to change my icon. I never seem to be able to do it.

10:33 pm

Jacula

I've mostly been making starfish and then sewing them onto a hippo's swimming shorts (yesterday) origami. I've now begun the task of sewing polka dots onto a hippo's bathing costume. :)

10:34 pm

origami

I crocheted some potholders yesterday. Rather mundane in comparison :D

10:34 pm

Minveryork

I have been saving my last two since 2:30 this afternoon.

10:35 pm

Jacula

I'm sure they're lovely, origami. Will check on your FB page for pics. I just wish I'd realised my hippos would be a foot long before I made 3 of 'em! roflol

10:35 pm

origami

As always, there were some strange words in here. But it was the smaller ones that were strange to me.

10:37 pm

Jacula

Min - you want to be careful about saving words to put in... my OH once put my last word in (thinking he was helping). It's a miracle I didn't kill him, but we're still together many years later and he gets it now.

10:38 pm

origami

Oh, no! The joy of fireworks stolen from you!!

10:43 pm

Jacula

Yep! But he only made that mistake once.

10:44 pm

Jacula

Does anyone need any clues before I leave?

10:45 pm

origami

Good night, Jac and Min. I am off to watch some TV. See ya.

10:46 pm

Night, Origami. Enjoy your TV.x

11:39 pm

Is there anyone here to help me with my last two words?

11:42 pm

Minveryork

Okay,now I have 1 word left. Have 18 minutes to find it.

11:44 pm

Minveryork

I just found it. I will wait until 11:59 to enter it. Nothing like waiting until the very last minute, right? LOL!!! :=)
