I feel sorry for kids. What a crappy summer. Pools are closed, no friends to play with.

7:43 am

jmcnrick

well I have been sending postcards to kids I know but the thing I noticed is that the kids aren't constantly on the go to soccer and dance and this and that and are able to go out and run around and play and explore with their family.

7:43 am

MollyL

Well, that is a rose colored view of it. Thanks Merry
: D

7:49 am

jmcnrick

*curtsy* you're welcome. The neighborhood really does sound more like a neighborhood with the kids racing around on their bikes but not touching instead of going to this formal event or that. I know they get bored but that is part of life too.

7:50 am

jmcnrick

most Saturdays before in this neighborhood with more than a dozen kids were like a tomb with everyone off to soccer, etc.

7:50 am

hokie carla

c'mon - remop - you didn't ever want to make your mom have to remop a spot because you walked on it before it was dry

7:51 am

hokie carla

our neighborhood pool is open. they only let in a certain number at a time.

7:51 am

jmcnrick

now if their parents would quit talking on their cell phones in the alley next to my windows! hahaha

7:51 am

jmcnrick

7:54 am

hokie carla

one of my favorite jokes - of course it may trigger someone with domestic violence - the sheriff asked the deputy what happened down at the Smith's house. Dep: Old Mrs. Smith shot her husband for walking on her wet floor! Sher: well, did you arrest her? Dep: no, it was still wet!

7:57 am

Reminds me of another one:
A sobbing Ms Murphy approaches Fr Oâ€™Grady after mass.

He says: â€œSo whatâ€™s bothering you?â€

She replies: â€œOh, Father, Iâ€™ve terrible news. My husband passed away last night.â€

The priest says: â€œOh, Mary, thatâ€™s terrible. Did he have any last requests?â€

"Certainly father," she replied. â€œHe said: â€œPlease Mary, put down that damn gun.â€

8:13 am

9:19 am

mkg

ty therealbiah

9:20 am

cybernan

was reading the chat and laughing - as someone somewhere said -- opening a pool during a water borne virus pandemic (even to only a few at a time) is like reserving one corner of the pool for peeing in.

9:20 am

mkg

eude

9:20 am

mkg

oops sorry

9:20 am

mkg

nan, it is very sad.

9:20 am

rururocks

my pool is open only for me :D

9:20 am

mkg

wish i had a pool to myself now. never wanted my own before.

9:21 am

mkg

i was a life guard and fear swimming without someone nearby. had a good friend who drowned from a massive heart attack while swimming. so i always want someone on the side to watch me. i used to do half a mile a day. miss it terribly.

9:22 am

cybernan

we had a pool when the kids were at home -- a great benefit then. Don't think I would want one now that I am the only one using it -- they really are holes in the ground you pour money into.

9:22 am

mkg

any clues for E bottom corner? ty

9:23 am

mkg

i took my kids to the pool every afternoon from 3 to 5 pm and they all are good swimmers.

9:23 am

rururocks

mine isn't that expensive.. $135 per month nan

9:23 am

cybernan

including maintenance, electricity and water bill?

9:24 am

Aloyisius

you have a pool service, ru?

9:24 am

mkg

we just did a 30 person family reunion in the pocono mountains at the majestic hilltop mansion with own pool. all but the 2 month old swam and had a ball for 3 days. i dont fear corona because my hubby had it all of may and i didnt get it.

9:24 am

rururocks

it has a retractible cover and it's solar heated only.. my water bill doesn't change much at all.. i just pay $135 for servicing and cleaning

9:24 am

cybernan

that doesn't protect everyone else in your family, mkg

9:24 am

MollyL

Oh I forgot. This group is anti-fireworks

9:25 am

mkg

my yard is all trees and woodsy so dont want a pool.

9:25 am

MLFAN17

I love fireworks

9:25 am

mkg

nan i agree. but he is negative now.

9:25 am

rururocks

well.. fireworks here molly are huge explosions and idiots drinking and shooting their guns in the air

9:26 am

MollyL

So now COVID Is water-borne?

9:26 am

MLFAN17

sorry mkg I don't have that e eihter

9:26 am

cybernan

oh -- up here it cost us that much just for chemicals, then the sewage bill was based on water consumption, it takes electricity to run the pump constantly and gas to heat it for 2 of the 4 months it was open.

9:26 am

Aloyisius

that e has eluded me too

9:26 am

cybernan

always has been molly

9:27 am

MLFAN17

I don't have it but apparently its a ep9

9:28 am

cybernan

17 new cases were reported in the news this week that were a result of one small family reunion.

9:29 am

rururocks

that was in texas I think nan.. what a bunch of idiots

9:29 am

MollyL

"Thereâ€™s no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread through drinking water or use of pools or hot tubs, according to the CDC."

9:29 am

cybernan

the point is molly that there is no real social distancing in pools either.

9:30 am

penquis

the danger is poolside, not in the pool....

9:30 am

MLFAN17

agreed cyber

9:31 am

cybernan

Anyone that thinks this disease is going away should just tune in to the news ans have a good look at what is happening in most of the states, Ontario and Quebec.

9:31 am

MollyL

Well, since we are all now accustomed to six feet apart, what is the danger in pool side?

9:31 am

penquis

look at the videos....people don't stay 6 feet apart, especially kids and teens.....

9:32 am

jmcnrick

I wish people would stay 6 feet apart but they don't.

9:32 am

MLFAN17

cyber I heard a while back that its not going away for a while.. its going into the fall months too

9:32 am

MollyL

I guess we are all doomed to a life of hermit living then. Sad.

9:32 am

MLFAN17

true pen

9:32 am

MollyL

*Sorry Merry

9:33 am

rururocks

I'm getting my haircut though in July..that's a plus for me

9:33 am

MLFAN17

jmc I just wsh people would put their masks on stay away from each other unless you have to do things like grocery shopping .. EVERYONE needs to stay home

9:34 am

MollyL

My son is getting a haircut this weekend. He is glad about that.

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

Ditto MLF!!

9:34 am

MLFAN17

ty hello une

9:35 am

penquis

got mine cut last Sunday...only me and the hair stylist there....wearing masks....

9:35 am

cybernan

mlf - longer than that -- it wil still be an epidemic a year from now if people don't smarten up and be more mindful of what they are doing. A lot of young people think they are invincible -- that they either won't get it or won't get it or won't die from it. They don't think about the infants or the older population and they obviously don't realize that the median age for people being hospitalized from covid is now 40, 60 or 70.

9:35 am

MLFAN17

that's good pen

9:36 am

cybernan

not 60 or 70

9:37 am

MLFAN17

true cyber but when this first started that was the nearest future of when it will continue.. I had heard 20s 30s besides those above the age of 60 or so

9:37 am

MLFAN17

ish lol

9:37 am

MLFAN17

does anyone have the ep9?

9:38 am

rururocks

9:38 am

MLFAN17

9:38 am

rururocks

it's a biological term relating to May Flies

9:39 am

therealblah

well that's helpful :P

9:39 am

penquis

of course! I study may flies in my spare time...a hobby during the pandemic....

9:40 am

rururocks

would you like a different clue?

9:40 am

Aloyisius

ty ru, had the wrong ending..

9:40 am

MLFAN17

9:43 am

9:43 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

ty pen I used google and morewords and found it

9:44 am

jmcnrick

may I have a bagel without the spread, snuffy?

9:45 am

therealblah

cyber think of a word for something that lasts a very short time, like fashion trends, and change the ending to not ego or superego

9:46 am

Aloyisius

you got it, jmc.. one naked bagel

9:46 am

therealblah

oc 5/14 - an eye or a circular opening

9:46 am

9:49 am

MLFAN17

I am still not getting the oc word?

9:50 am

cybernan

I think coffee is best iced and loaded with sugar, whipped cream and chocolate shavings :)

9:50 am

jmcnrick

I like supporting local businesses.

9:51 am

rururocks

fulcrum coffee in seattle is the best I've found.. there was another place that began with a T (italian sounding) but they went out of biz.. the coffee was perfect there too

9:51 am

jmcnrick

haha I like Irish coffee (sans sugar) with whipcream but the rest of my coffee whether hot or iced is black with no sugar

9:51 am

rururocks

i like coffee black

9:52 am

rururocks

i used to work in seattle every month for many years

9:52 am

cybernan

* I'll just go and sit in the corner where I can enjoy my Murchie's tea...

9:52 am

MLFAN17

what kind of tea cyber? black?

9:53 am

cybernan

my favourite is their Earl Grey, but they also have a darjeeling blend that I like.

9:53 am

therealblah

i'll join you cyber (virtually) as i enjoy my twinings irish breakfast tea

9:54 am

cybernan

and yes - black as opposed to green

9:54 am

MLFAN17

that is a black tea right blah?

9:54 am

MLFAN17

i think that is what most teas are unless it actually says so

9:54 am

therealblah

yes, black tea. But I also like green tea and herbal tea in the afternoon.

9:55 am

rururocks

how are you on biscuits with it therea?

9:55 am

MLFAN17

i have had a green tea frappucino from Starbucks and i have heard actual green tea is a bit sour/

9:55 am

cybernan

Irish Breakfast has a strong bitter taste to my palate -- at least Twinnings does -- haven't tried the MUrchie's blend of it.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

Twinning teas are supposed to be some of the best so i have heard

9:58 am

cybernan

Not sure where you are located, blah, but Murchies does ship all over the place and is not overly expensive. If you are a tea lover, I encourage you to check out their website. I usually order 4 boxes of 100 bags at a time --- they come packaged in a foil pouch inside each box, so the tea stays fresh.

9:58 am

jmcnrick

I love Twinning tea. I make a mix of double bergarot (sp) Earl Grey and green tea and keep it in the ice box all summer long

9:58 am

MollyL

Man it's been a long time since I heard someone use the term ice box.

9:59 am

cybernan

I think Murchies is to Twinning what Seattles Best is to Nabob

9:59 am

therealblah

mmm biscuits yum

9:59 am

MLFAN17

jmc how did you come up with the combination of those two teas together?

10:01 am

therealblah

i'm in Dallas TX and I order the twinings from amazon, but I will check Murchies

10:02 am

therealblah

(and btw i'm not one of the TX idiots ru refered to...facemask and distance at all times.)

10:03 am

rururocks

not texas in general therea.. just that stupid family what were they thinking?

10:03 am

MLFAN17

blah their is a company in tx that makes purple tea

10:03 am

therealblah

there was a story in the paper yesterday about an infected person who went to a gathering, infected 7 more people and they in turn infected 10 more, including their 80 yr old parents and a sister with breast cancer...those are idiots

10:04 am

therealblah

10:04 am

MLFAN17

10:09 am

MLFAN17

salt and vinegar on fries yummm

10:10 am

bichon

10:28 am

Aloyisius

oops.. change the FIRST vowel of what a mime does, sorry

10:28 am

hurshy

10:31 am

jmcnrick

10:31 am

hurshy

10:31 am

hurshy

10:32 am

jmcnrick

I watch that film in Florence with a bunch of students not from the US. I spent the rest of the night assuring them that not all cops were crooks. awkward.

10:32 am

jmcnrick

what you do in charades hursh

10:32 am

hurshy

but 40% of them have a history of domestic violence, so there is that...

10:33 am

MLFAN17

hurshy that's what ti thought

10:33 am

hurshy

i had to thesaurus synonyms for mime, lol

10:35 am

hurshy

i mean it's got to be etymologically closely related though

10:37 am

MLFAN17

i didn't find anything for it hurshy

10:37 am

hurshy

it's more like to copy or imitate rather than simply to mime

10:39 am

hurshy

splitting hairs on the nuances of these words i guess

10:43 am

hurshy

phantom: medium

10:44 am

bichon

and meme

10:44 am

MLFAN17

hi bichon

10:44 am

hurshy

well, that's there, it's not a phantom. it just doesn't count :)

10:46 am

hurshy

10:47 am

MLFAN17

because you wanted it to be?

10:47 am

bichon

Young people can actually get quite sick, but they're much less likely to be hospitalized or to die. I've read descriptions, including one man in his early twenties who said it was the most painful thing he's ever experienced, and a young family where all four of them (including two toddlers) were very sick for (I think) a couple of weeks.

12:18 pm
