to 5/16, a very Jillibus word. Always makes me think of her, at any rate. :)
12:12 am
SueMagee
I was just thinking of her and her great danes the other day!
12:12 am
cybernan
did she wear them a lot?
12:15 am
rbud
not sure if she wore them, but she clued it one day, it was the first I'd ever seen the word outside of a book, and I thought what a great vocabulary she had.
12:16 am
cybernan
It is a very common word here
12:16 am

to5/16 is a word used very commonly in Canada to refer to a winter hat.
12:20 am
Gillie
It's a bit different from other uses of the word.
12:21 am
cybernan
lol - we have this same discussion every time the word appears in the grid
12:21 am
Gillie
Sorry - I don't I've participated before
12:22 am
cybernan
no problem gillie - it usually comes up with the morning crew
12:23 am
cybernan
I think we Canucks are the only ones who don't think it is a strange word
12:24 am

I am waiting for the Johnson & Johnson so I only have to get one.
8:06 am
Scrabbler
I think ages 12-15 are in current studies now. Pfizer vaccine is for 16+ now. The American Academy of Pediatrics is pushing for testing on all kids rather than in 3-year cohorts one at a time.
8:08 am
dan2bit
miss2bit is very needle-averse, but she will also be due for HPV before next school year
8:09 am
hokie carla
I will be eligible on st. patrick's day.
8:10 am
Scrabbler
In NYS, Tdap is due for 6th grade, MCV4 (meningococcal vaccine) is due for 7th grade, and HPV is not required but is recommended.
8:10 am
hokie carla
dan, my oldest is a big scaredy cat with shots just like his dad, but he got the pfizer yesterday and made his own appt and everything.
8:12 am
Scrabbler
Good, Carla. Fear of infection is helping people overcome their fear of injections.
8:12 am
hokie carla
yeah, I think he's ready to do his part to have things go back to somewhat normal.
8:13 am
dan2bit
I have to double check but I think we did Tdap early because she had to get a bunch of inoculations done for our trip last year to Ethiopia and Egypt. We got back RIGHT before everything shuttered
8:14 am
Scrabbler
Tdap may be given at age 10.
8:15 am
dan2bit
the same Saturday where all the flights from Europe had to get extra screening and people were in those huge lines we had landed direct from Cairo and just had normal immigration/customs checks. In retrospect it was cutting it super close
8:15 am
Scrabbler
You/we didn't know what was about to happen, Dan. It has been a tragic year.

Very good.
8:26 am

Just read the chat -- are you folks getting vaccinated on a first come first serve basis? or have all the health care and essential workers and super seniors already been vaccinated? We are just starting to get our first shots after all of the above and assisted living/nursing homes. The 90+ year olds can get their first shots next week
9:46 am
MLFAN17
are both of the lo5's pl?
9:47 am
Robespierre
Hi cyber! In my state (MN), they started with people 70+, then added some essential workers (health care workers, teachers, etc.) Now that those folks have mostly been vaccinated, they’re opening it to larger groups of people. It looks like it’ll be available to everyone at some point in April.
9:48 am
MLFAN17
elderly and esential workers are done here i dont know what group they are doing now
9:49 am
KnightTime
in az it is 65 and older, all essential workers, all medical, all teachers, all nursing home and assisted living.
9:50 am
KnightTime
there are several 24hr vaccination sites in the state
9:50 am
cybernan
our teachers are not included in essential workers, neither are cooks, taxi and bus drivers, grocery store clerks and I think they should be.
9:51 am
cybernan
our biggest problem is getting enough vaccine
9:56 am
MollyL
That is crazy Nan. Teachers are definitely essential.
9:57 am
cybernan
Most of our high schools are still closed.
9:59 am
dauber
Teachers are essential enough for people to scream about them to stop "being lazy" and get to school. My company is making us work from home until at least June; guess that makes me lazy
10:00 am
cybernan
The teachers are demanding shots before going bak into the classroom, but it is tough. There isn't enough vaccine coming in yet and the elderly and those with health issues come first, as well as hospital workers and in some cases, indigenous people as they are more susceptible
10:09 am
cybernan
yes, my son's company has had all but their retail peronnel and essential technicians working remotely for over a year now.
10:09 am
gemini_J13
very small county in KS,,,, they started with our LTC and health workers, anyone over 70, now I think that age has lowered.... the schools have been open all fall and up to now,,, no outbreaks,, maybe 2 or 3 kids were infected, several teachers, the teachers are being vaccinated I think it is a lot easier in smaller communities and even in smaller states
10:09 am
gemini_J13
1 grocery store and they have been vaccinated
10:09 am
MollyL
I have not heard anyone referring to those who work from home as lazy.
10:11 am
gemini_J13
both my daughters ~ one at Children's Mercy in KC and another at a Tribal Nations in OK have worked from home for a year ~ they both say they are more productive working from home? I guess less distractions
10:25 am
mamabook3
I've been working from home and I have definitely been more productive at home. I can get 8 hours work done in about 6 - not having to share copier/printer, no coworkers interrupting me, and I can choose what time I work - when I'm most productive is early morning before anyone else is awake. I'm not planning to go back to the office.
10:26 am
dan2bit
in Virginia all essential workers (similar definition as other states) and seniors 65+ have had the opportunity to get the jab. Now we are also inoculating younger adults with underlying risk factors that could make them get it worse, on a first-registered basis, based on supply of doses.
10:27 am
gemini_J13
Covid has changed so much, but working is one of the good changes....the daughter in OK is moving to Colorado and is going to be able to keep her job ~~~
10:28 am
dan2bit
I switched jobs last May and have never been to my company's office or met my coworkers in person. I am looking forward to some chances to do that, but won't be trying to regularly commute to an office
10:28 am

The jab sounds like something in a porno film
10:28 am

Yeah, my boss told me when we do return to the office, it's not going to be full-time and it's not going to be everybody at once.

How do I get an icon for this game on my home page?
3:01 pm

Go to My Account and opposite your name will be a little square with edit underneath it click on that and add a phot from your computer. Make sure it is not a large file otherwise it will not work.
3:06 pm
Colonel
Thanks, but what I am looking for is a quick start icon
3:07 pm
zoozzoom
In that case I cannot help as i am using an xbox one. so do not know. Sorry.
3:10 pm
zoozzoom
Maybe whilst you have babble open if you use the mouse pointer and go onto the top of the page where it has babble home page and drag it onto the task bar it will save it on there. All you would have to do is click on it to open babble.
3:12 pm
moolingwa
For an avatar, I'm not certain, but you may need to be a paid member
3:12 pm
moolingwa
Either way, click on the My Account link at the top right
3:13 pm
zoozzoom
It is free for everyone now, Mool. No payment required anymore.
3:13 pm
moolingwa
At the top of your profile information, there should be a box that you can edit
3:13 pm
moolingwa
ah, good to know...thanks Z
3:14 pm
moolingwa
You can then either upload a picture from your device, or point it to a URL on the web for the picture
3:15 pm
zoozzoom
Gone thought that, Mool that is not what they are looking for. They are looking for a quick start icon on there computer. Hence I said try and drag babble onto the task bar for quick acces.
3:16 pm
zoozzoom
Through*
3:18 pm
moolingwa
Oh, sorry
3:18 pm
zoozzoom
No need to be sorry. thanks for trying to help also.
3:20 pm
moolingwa
Well to create an icon on your windows desktop - assuming that's what you have - then go to your desktop, right click your mouse, do "New" then "Shortcut", then type playbabble.com in the "location" box. You can then rename your icon and change the picture if you want
3:24 pm

I think I scared them away lol
