A few weeks ago I was asked to do a family quiz on Zoom.First week we had two neices and partners and a great niece and paartner. Following week my twin from Durban joined. Then my niece from Cape Town.Last week my daughter and partner joined and so did my niece from Boulder. This week we will also my nephew from Boulder and brother from Denver. All I can say bis hooray for lockdown!!

7:28 am

BzznBea

Sounds like a lot of fun, Deeha.

7:32 am

Deeha

its mindblowing. PProbably will never be able to afford to visit all those people again

7:33 am

Good to hear Zoom is keeping people connected. I thought Skype was already doing that, but Zoom seems to have reached more people.

8:05 am

BzznBea

I think it is because Zoom has been free and maybe skype isn't?

8:07 am

BzznBea

Can you skype with more than one person?

8:07 am

MollyL

I have no idea. I thought Skype was free.

8:08 am

hokie carla

hello y'all. skype is free unless they changed in the years since I used it.

8:09 am

hokie carla

I have done group facetime too but everyone has to have iPhone

8:10 am

bichon

Google face time is another way

8:10 am

MollyL

Ah, that would leave me out. The only Macintosh product I ever bought was an iPad, which now sits, unused.

8:10 am

hokie carla

zoom is only free for like 45 min or something.

8:11 am

bichon

I use my IPad all the time. Read books on it.

8:11 am

BzznBea

I'm wondering what happens after that 4 minutes?

8:12 am

MollyL

It figures Google would have some competition for the Mac folks. Okay, I didn't know there were charges involved in Zoom. Non of the blowhards in my company would be able to keep a meeting to 45 minutes.

8:12 am

MollyL

Sorry, I meant an iPod

8:12 am

hokie carla

my son says you can have group Skype audio calls but he's not sure about video calls

8:13 am

bichon

I don't use my IPod any more. Gave it to Mr. B

8:13 am

Deeha

we did start off with skype but for some reason thesound

8:13 am

Deeha

quality wasnt good

8:13 am

hokie carla

yeah, when we were doing our camping group zoom happy hours, the guy that set it up had a free trial that gave us unlimited time but after that ran out we would get kicked after a while

8:14 am

bichon

I've zoomed doctor visits

8:14 am

MollyL

How do Zoom doctor visits work? How can they take your vitals?

8:15 am

hokie carla

I had a phone dr. visit. I took my own BP.

8:15 am

BzznBea

I have the free zoom. When we have Master Gardner meetings, after about 40 minutes, my computer lags and audio drags.

8:15 am

hokie carla

last year or the year before I did a video visit, but that was before I ever heard of zoom. it was some other program.

8:16 am

bichon

Can't take vitals, but I had blood tests done beforehand. That takes care of most of my issues. Took BP at the supermarket

8:16 am

BzznBea

I'm going to do my next zoom meeting on Larry's computer. See if that helps.

8:17 am

BzznBea

49 left...Want to get to the Farmer's Market...Back later.

8:32 am

hokie carla

8:33 am

LuvWordGames

I didn't have the singular of the sl 7 word lol

8:33 am

hokie carla

8:35 am

hokie carla

woot, finished the 9s!

8:35 am

LuvWordGames

they were fun weren't they!?

8:36 am

hokie carla

always fun when I find big words all on my own ;)

8:36 am

hokie carla

8:39 am

MLFAN17

I need one more 9 and 4 of the 8s

8:41 am

LuvWordGames

8:43 am

hokie carla

still working my way through the first time, but thanks

8:43 am

MollyL

Just a note to all you people ordering grocery delivery. If it is important to you that your shopper is wearing gloves, please check to make sure they are. I just got a photo from the woman shopping mine and she is not. This doesn't really matter to me, but I know it would to some of you.

8:45 am

MLFAN17

i have heard two things, you are supposed ot not touch any of it unless you have to for an hour but also wipe things down when it arrives b4 putting away

8:46 am

MollyL

Well add to that the fact that it has been said this virus travels through what is coughed or breathed out (hence the mask requirement) not through touch.

8:47 am

hokie carla

67 left after first run-through. the single word tiles are killing me. I mean, that's not 67 words but still.

8:47 am

MollyL

And how do you not touch perishables and frozen food for an hour?

8:47 am

hokie carla

going to walk the dog before it gets unbearable. TTFN.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

bye hokie

8:48 am

MLFAN17

molly yeah i know i just meant the foods you don't have to touch right away. i know it doesn't make sense

Back from the Farmer's Market. 49 left...

10:26 am

cybernan

hope it wasn't too crowded, bea

10:28 am

BzznBea

No, running like a well oiled machine...

10:28 am

cybernan

brave lady -- covid cases increasing rapidly in NC

10:30 am

BzznBea

Yes, I know. Wore my mask. Touched nothing. Have my own mesh bags and I had the vendor put the produce in them. It is open air as well.

10:31 am

BzznBea

Less people there than at the grocery store.

10:31 am

cybernan

open air does help -- hope everyone was wearing masks. Health officials really seem to be pushing that idea now.

10:31 am

gemini_J13

here

10:31 am

gemini_J13

oops

10:31 am

BzznBea

Yes, the vendors and the customers must be wearing masks.

10:32 am

cybernan

my fear is that as long as people continue to believe trump's crazy theories, we will never get rid of it

10:32 am

hurshy

Es Eliminated!

10:33 am

cybernan

sooner or later our borders will have to open up again and things will get worse.

10:37 am

cybernan

we are still being advised not to travel outside of BC, but that doesn't mean that the Albertans can't come here for their holidays as usual and I suppose once the border with the states opens we will have our usual complement of Americans here as well.

10:39 am

hurshy

you may be helped by the new rules where the US won't let americans back in without a passport or passport card - people like my dad don't want the hassle of getting one so they just won't go to canada

10:39 am

hurshy

(the rules pre-date covid but are only a couple years old)

10:40 am

hurshy

Ds Done!

10:40 am

cybernan

fmaybe -- but we also have a lot of Canadians living along the border who like to cross over to do their shopping (even for groceries) because everything is so much cheaper in the states.

10:40 am

Buggie

Hah, as soon as they announced lockdown here, a lot of the touristy villages, especially coastal ones, suddenly filled up with parisians escaping to their holiday homes. Hence they had to put in a 100km travel rule

10:41 am

cybernan

is the curve starting to flatten there buggie?

10:42 am

hurshy

phantom: strut

10:43 am

Buggie

oh yeah, Paris and the North-East of France are still slowing down. But weâ€™ve gone from over 7,000 people in reanimation in hospital in the whole of France down to under 900.

10:43 am

hurshy

reanimation?

10:44 am

hurshy

sounds like frankenstein

10:44 am

Buggie

Oh sorry, thatâ€™s the French term. Intensive care

10:44 am

hurshy

:D

10:45 am

hurshy

i always liked it when poirot used cognates from french that didn't quite work in english, like "do not derange yourself"

10:45 am

Buggie

I find thatâ€™s the best figure to go by to see the trends, as detected cases depends on the number of tests carried out

10:46 am

BzznBea

And since there are more tests being done now, the numbers are going up.

10:46 am

Buggie

oh yeah. And the French love to use bad English. One I hear often when people are surprised: "I am shocking"

10:46 am

hurshy

lol

10:48 am

hurshy

Ss Smacked!

10:48 am

cybernan

The only testing being done here now is a result of contact tracing. We really don't have that many cases any more.

10:48 am

Buggie

Yes Bea. We suddenly had a lot of cases after they started easing lockdown. But that was mainly due to better testing and teams set up to trace all the contacts of patients. So far there seems to be no sign of a second wave

10:49 am

hokie carla

reanimation? are the french making zombies??

10:49 am

hurshy

Fs Finished!

10:49 am

hokie carla

I just need 1 F, what do you think it is, hurshy?

10:49 am

hurshy

Is In the books!

10:50 am

hurshy

Os Over!

10:50 am

hokie carla

fi5/18? have that

10:50 am

cybernan

I wonder how much of that is governments just telling us the reason for more cases is more testing -- I don't think that is necessarily true. When you look at some of the graphs, like the one for AZ -- I don't think they increased their testing one hundredfold overnight.

10:50 am

hurshy

oh let me see

10:50 am

hurshy

fi4/8 perhaps

10:51 am

hokie carla

I have one fi4/8

10:51 am

hurshy

or 4/7, french sons?

10:51 am

hokie carla

prob a plural somewhere

10:51 am

hurshy

everything else is pretty normal and yeah check plurals and pt

10:52 am

BzznBea

10:54 am

MLFAN17

this virus if it does leave may return in the fall

10:54 am

cybernan

h's are all common words -- a lot of plurals and pt's though

10:55 am

hokie carla

my missing one was very common and I had the odd plural for it

hurshy

10:58 am

the tr words are stranger than fiction

11:24 am

mattygroves

Once you start finding the 8s, you should find a bunch. They are mostly related in form, as it were.

hurshy

and then we've pretty much covered all the th words

hurshy

they put it on signs for dead end roads hokie

Ah hah! Got it!

how are you TO?

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

hanging in there. seems my health is deteriorating from lack of exercise and change in eating habits.

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

food not as readily available and it's pounded into our heads to shop less frequently = lack of fresh foods

7:14 pm

phandmd

I am so sorry. It is so hard. I will confess, we shopped and bought produce weekly except when we had to be under quarantine because we had the virus in this house.

7:15 pm

phandmd

but you have to make decisions based on what is best for you. We are living in tough times.

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i baked a lot. thought beauswe i used ilive oil it would be ok. but there were many stretches where i just did not feel like going out to walk.

7:18 pm

phandmd

Well, exercise/walking can make one feel better....

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. once i get out there, i do feel better.
