The bottom E was en6/21....still looking for that T though :)
5:35 am
MollyL
You are right Matty, I can't type correctly quite yet. More coffee needed
5:38 am
mattygroves
May I have a small hint for that TE - I will get the fish bucket ready....
5:42 am
MollyL
It is a golf term
5:43 am
mattygroves
As Jeff is a huge golf fan, you'd think I'd be able to find this :)
5:44 am
MollyL
It took me a while to be able to see it, please, no fish
5:45 am
mattygroves
I'm not yet seeing it. Hopefully it'll eventually come to me. Today is census day in the UK - so Jeff and I shall bond over intrusive and ridiculous questions
5:45 am
MollyL
It is a gerund
5:47 am
mattygroves
Oh....duh
5:47 am
mattygroves
That gave me a handful of words as well, so thank you

Tetris in is the grid-I loved that game
9:36 am
hokie carla
yep, tried it last night. I used to play that so much on my GameBoy that I would see it when I closed my eyes at night to try to sleep.
9:37 am
LuvWordGames
yep, didn't have a Game Boy but a little hand held Tetris game
9:39 am
hokie carla
I bought another game boy in the 2000s so each of my boys would have one, but they didn't really get into it. they had their DS's. so, I still have 2 game boys here!
9:45 am
MLFAN17

9:46 am

MLFAN17
when tetris was a thing it was a thing lol
9:48 am
hokie carla
I've found it's really hard to play without a backlit screen. Back in the day I had a light that slipped over it, but corroded batteries destroyed that. I tried playing by our pool some last summer and I had to hold it just right to see anything. and I can't play at all inside.
9:49 am
Mubner
Sounds like you might be ready for a Nintendo Switch
9:49 am
MLFAN17
i also discovered that some play faster then others
9:50 am

hurshy

10:49 am
hokie carla

I hope this place makes an appt for your 2nd dose while you're there so I'm not searching all over in 3 or 4 weeks
2:06 pm
hokie carla
everywhere else here (with no appts available) is pfizer and J&J, so I'm a little concerned about finding it.
2:06 pm
cybernan
he was just told it would be July before he would get his 2nd shot, but that was the day before we got word that the USA would be sharing doses it couldn't use with us
2:06 pm
hokie carla
mr. homie is in the last possible group so he will be a while
2:07 pm
hokie carla
I read US was sharing astrazeneca with canada and mexico
2:07 pm
hokie carla
because we haven't approved it yet
2:07 pm

how did you get yours earlier?
2:08 pm
hokie carla
would love to make it home to my mom's for easter, but that will be before my 2nd dose
2:08 pm
hokie carla
i have high blood pressure and the youngest has asthma, so NC just opened up that group this past week.
2:09 pm
cybernan
oh -- ours is all by age - chronic conditions not taken into account.
2:10 pm
mattygroves
We're mostly by age here as well - some conditions are taken into account though
2:10 pm
hokie carla
only group 1 was age related in NC, the rest of the groups were healthcare workers, teachers, essential workers. my oldest son got his a couple of weeks ago because he delivers pizza.
2:10 pm
cybernan
I wish our son could get it -- he is also asthmatic and everything is coming into bloom in Vancouver
2:13 pm
hokie carla
yeah, already getting bad here too. both my kids used to end up doing breathing treatments with a nebulizer when they got sick. they have kinda outgrown that, but who knows what would happen with this.

3:27 pm
zoozzoom
Have you has a vaccine jab yet?
3:30 pm
gapeach
Not yet. I don't know what to do about that.
3:30 pm
zoozzoom
Phone your doctors and ask about if they offer the vaccine for you.
3:31 pm
gapeach
I have mixed feeling about it.
3:32 pm
gapeach
Yes, I will do that.....just want to take a particular kind and don't know if they will be OK with that.
3:33 pm
zoozzoom
If they do not offer the one you want they can suggest a place where they do do the one you would like.
3:34 pm
gapeach
Hope they would do that.
3:34 pm
zoozzoom
There is supposed to be a Johnson & Johnson one coming out soon and that one is just a one shot vaccine.
3:35 pm
gapeach
Yes, that is what I hear.....but I don' know????
3:36 pm
zoozzoom
No harm in asking, Gapeach! If you have worries. write them down so you do not get tongue tied when on the phone. They will give you all the information you need.
3:37 pm
gapeach
Thank you for being so kind and helpful. You are the greatest!
3:38 pm

It is no problem at all.
3:38 pm

You are safe..It is not a word haha!

I am good. Got my first dose about ten days ago. Did not have a reaction until a week later though. It was strange

Glad you got the shot! I have had my second one and felt a little run down and very chilled. But otherwise OK.

I am a little scared to get my second one with reactions I have heard from people. However, my mother and father got their second dose and had no reactions whatsoever!

I think the reactions vary a lot.
11:14 pm
Minveryork
I think it all depends on the person.Speaking of reactions I am thinking about my reaction when I hear my alarm go off six hours from now. I think I should go to sleep now.
