phantom pedigree

7:24 am

dan2bit

and pediatric

7:25 am

Scrabbler

I see those now.

7:25 am

dan2bit

it's dumb because I have the P words

7:25 am

Scrabbler

I do that often.

7:25 am

aslindy

about 3 miles from my house is a TRIDGE - a 3 legged foot bridge over the joining of 2 rivers

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Nice.

7:26 am

dan2bit

haha aslindy

7:26 am

aslindy

alas, it is not a 'real' word

7:26 am

dan2bit

do you often trudge over the tridge?

7:26 am

aslindy

I have walked over it many times

7:28 am

aslindy

you can google Tridge Midland MI to see pics and articles about it

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Many footbridges on my backpacking trips are 2 or 3 logs across a river/creek/stream.

7:30 am

aslindy

not quite the same thing ;)

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I see photos, aslindy. Very cool tridge.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Huge.

7:31 am

BzznBea

Beautiful, lindy.

7:31 am

aslindy

especially at night, with the lights on... and they now do different color lights for various holidays

7:32 am

Scrabbler

It's a great design for where rivers meet.

7:33 am

aslindy

I believe there is also a tridge in Tennessee, but those are the only 2 I know

7:33 am

rururocks

do they do live streaming there?

7:34 am

aslindy

haha ruru!

7:34 am

dan2bit

the puns are flowing out now

7:35 am

rururocks

7:36 am

rururocks

although at my age I'm getting creekier

7:36 am

MollyL

Well, not if we span help it Ru

7:36 am

MollyL

And not that anyone gives a dam

7:37 am

rururocks

someone is going to have to give a tributary to all these great puns

7:38 am

MollyL

And no matter how old you get, you will never be as cranky as some. Oh...you said creeky

7:38 am

aslindy

if you search Flood Midland 2020 you can still see the upper part of the walkways are above water, but the approaches are completely flooded. that flood was when 2 dams upstream failed after a lot of rain.

8:53 am

hurshy

matt gaetz wouldn't have found one of the 8's the count is too high for him

8:53 am

hurshy

or ni6

8:53 am

rururocks

di 6 i normal out here.. it's used in weed killers

8:53 am

rururocks

or used to be .. i think it's no longer allowed to be used

8:53 am

hurshy

oh, i thought maybe it was a two-headed kum****

8:55 am

BzznBea

Are there more than two re's that use the two letter tile?

8:55 am

rururocks

I think it was making Eagle egg shells too thin after they'd eat the mice

8:56 am

LuvWordGames

wasn't that DDT?

8:56 am

BzznBea

Thanks. Those are my missing R's then.

8:56 am

hokie carla

well, I do have one di6 that is very normal

8:58 am

rururocks

actually it's not banned. but there are concerns it affects bird life.. it's used in ponds too

8:58 am

rururocks

and I was thinking of DDT luv.. thanks for correcting me

8:58 am

hurshy

talking about di6/30, hokie

8:59 am

hokie carla

I thought you were describing DDT and it was one of the D's in the DDT.

8:59 am

hokie carla

well, obviously you weren't talking about the normal one I had ðŸ¤£

9:00 am

hokie carla

why am I trying to make a pediatric word when I have grayed the P??

9:00 am

hurshy

i think my mention of what i thought it might mean is a helpful clue

9:00 am

hokie carla

didn't see that, but it did help

9:01 am

rururocks

9:02 am

hokie carla

12:25 pm

hokie carla

sounds good, maybe you will inspire me to leave

12:26 pm

joym999

I'm going to the Farmer's Market and then to the park. Exciting!?!

12:26 pm

hokie carla

ooh

12:27 pm

joym999

we actually bought tickets to a concert later this month. I haven't been to a theater since before the pandemic.

12:29 pm

joym999

I found all 3 QU7s. I hope that's all QU7s.

12:30 pm

hokie carla

I have 3 as well but still need 1 Q

12:30 pm

joym999

I have an RE8, but what's the other 8?

12:30 pm

hokie carla

12:58 pm

penquis

and I will work on the 67 I have left to find... ;o)

12:58 pm

hokie carla

me either, joy! got it with a clue.

1:03 pm

joym999

totally stumped on the DI6,30. Not seeing how it's even possible, given these letter counts.

1:04 pm

hokie carla

it's like two kum__

1:04 pm

penquis

it uses the high point letter...

1:04 pm

joym999

Oh right I was counting wrong...forgot that the U counts as a letter

1:04 pm

penquis

i just guessed and it was a word....never heard of it...

1:04 pm

hokie carla

ru said it's a common word in CA

1:05 pm

penquis

a yellow crystalline substance, C12H12Br2N2, used as a selective postemergence herbicide to control weeds on noncrop land and for aquatic weed control.... guess they have lots of weeds in California...

1:06 pm

joym999

I live in CA and I've never heard of it, but I monkeyed it anyway.

1:26 pm

cybernan

good morning/aftrenoon everyone

1:32 pm

cybernan

not sure, joy -- just got words that the grandkids have tested positive for covid after an outbreak at their school, one of the kids having been in their carpool. We are getting tested this afternoon. Our visit with them at Thanksgiving was short, outdoors and masked, but we still need to test and quarantine until we get the results.

1:33 pm

joym999

sorry to hear that nan! Sending you positive thoughts for negative results!

1:33 pm

penquis

sorry to hear it, nan....sounds like you were being quite safe at your get together....

1:33 pm

Hi folks. Sorry to hear about the covid, nan. Hoping for the best for you.

1:34 pm

hi ori...

1:35 pm

origami

How are you doing, pen?

1:36 pm

joym999

FW, and now I'm off to the Farmer's Market. Thanks all for the hints and let's all keep our fingers crossed for nan! Hasta manana.

1:36 pm

1:36 pm

penquis

bye, joy....

1:37 pm

origami

OK here. Just dealing with the demon dog ðŸ˜€

1:37 pm

penquis

hah!....it's a lot of work, I am sure...

1:38 pm

origami

I'm grateful that right now is one of the rare quiet moments.

1:38 pm

penquis

that pic of yours is not the demon dog, is it?...he looks quite calm...

1:39 pm

cybernan

coue for the de 7 please?

1:39 pm

origami

Yes, that's him. He usually is surrounded by a tornado like the Tasmanian Devil.

1:39 pm

cybernan

*the one mentioned earlier in the chat

1:39 pm

penquis

i don't have it...someone said it is a verb form of a word that is not usually turned into a verb....

1:42 pm

penquis

he looks so darn calm, ori....caught in an unusual moment, i guess...

1:44 pm

origami

He's crazy :D

1:44 pm

penquis

what's his name?

1:45 pm

origami

Loki -- for good reasons.

1:45 pm

penquis

ah...good name for him then...

1:47 pm

Soodle

Iâ€™m probably all out of sync, time-wise, but just want to offer my virtual support to Nan. I hope everyoneâ€™s ok Nan.

1:48 pm

penquis

hi soodle....

1:48 pm

cybernan

thanks soodle and everyone ellse sending good vibes

1:49 pm

penquis

there are a lot of good thoughts going your way... ;o)

1:53 pm

Soodle

Bloody Covid. Just when you think normal life can resume, it raises itâ€™s ugly head again.

1:54 pm

governess

glad you've been careful cybernan. first hand can tell you, surviving covid is not the only goal. long covid is a very real and life altering thing.

1:54 pm

hokie carla

Hey Nan, sorry to hear that. If it makes you feel better, when my dad was having home health care nurses coming in, one of them tested positive right after being in their house but they didn't get it. I hope you all being outside will be a big factor in keeping y'all negative.

1:55 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Nan. Our unvaccinated children are at such high risk in school.

1:56 pm

cybernan

we have been so carefull all along - no socializing indoors for 2 years now, but this delta variant is so virulent and not everyone takes it seriously.

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

And it is airborne so it floats in the air for hours after an infected person has been present.

1:58 pm

origami

Have any of your patients had covid, Scrabs?

1:58 pm

cybernan

I agree scrabbler -- I think home schooling for the younger kids should continue until they can be vaccinated - it's only a couple of months from now until they will have their vaccinations. Hubby was scheduled for a booster next week - hope he can still have it and our flu shots.

1:59 pm

governess

i had my booster tuesday, i must say, it was much much rougher than expected.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

my brother said his booster was the worst

1:59 pm

Scrabbler

Many. One teenage boy almost needed ventilatory support a few weeks ago. Another had MIS-C and nearly died from shock. Last month we had an ill 2 wk old and last wk a 6 wk old was at the hospital.

2:00 pm

governess

hokie, exactly my experience

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

I just want kids vaccinated and protected before they attend school. Attending school is too risky.

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

Soon I will schedule my Moderna booster, on a day when I don't work the next day.

2:00 pm

cybernan

makes you wonder why the no vaxxers can't just take a look at what is happening around them and get over themselves.

2:00 pm

governess

i'm mostly surprised at people's willingness to risk their childs health and future.

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

How nice to see you here, governess.

2:01 pm

governess

scrabbler by my experience you may need more than one day

2:01 pm

governess

thank you!

2:01 pm

Scrabbler

The Unmask Our Kids campaign is strong here and parents are going crazy with fear that the CoV vaccine will be required for schoolchildren.

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

OK, so I will get it on a Thursday or Fri when I don't work the weekend.

2:02 pm

governess

i mean i don't understand fearing the vaccine. long covid has completely altered my long term life goals.

2:02 pm

hokie carla

Did they approve the Moderna booster?

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I think just yesterday.

2:03 pm

penquis

we have mask mandates at school here....what is really ironic to me is that the kids don't seem to mind the masks much, certainly not as much as their parents...

2:03 pm

cybernan

sorry to hear that you have long covid, governess

2:03 pm

penquis

the kids are just happy to be in school...

2:03 pm

Scrabbler

Exactly, governess. This virus is dangerous. Why allow kids to be at risk?

2:04 pm

hokie carla

yes, I see kids walking home from the bus stop here with their masks still on. you'd think they'd take it off as soon as they get off the bus.

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

Kids are resilient for the most part.

2:04 pm

governess

thanks cyber. i just think these kids have their whole lives, and covid can take away part of it too, its not all or none.

2:04 pm

penquis

my neighbor teaches sixth grade and she says they have little trouble with kids not wanting to wear masks...

2:05 pm

cybernan

our grandchildren's school has mask mandates in place, a revamped ventilations system and hand sanitization stations everywhere, but the covid is still spreading - all it takes is one sick child or family of children.

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

Long haulers such as you, governess, are in limbo, waiting and hoping to improve, waiting for physicians to find a way to help you.

2:05 pm

governess

people will say they can't breathe, but i have asthma and wear it outside in 100 degree temps.

2:06 pm

governess

they need to be honest and say i don't like being a little inconvenienced.

2:06 pm

penquis

there are also inserts you can use to keep the cloth away from your nose....i used one playing tennis for months....

2:07 pm

Scrabbler

I want to smack the ignorant people. A friend sent me a video of a quack anti-vax doc, like she expects to convert ME. Uh, no, I will not watch that guy.

2:07 pm

penquis

i think social media has encouraged the "i don't have to do anything i don't want to do" attitude....

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, being a contrarian is admire by too many.

2:08 pm

governess

i like the cartoons and decor i see. i saw a cute one. let me see if i can set it to my profile

2:08 pm

hokie carla

social media has hastened the downfall of society

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, carla. The fools form their cults and support one another.

2:08 pm

penquis

now that's a comment.. ;o) ... i don't do Facebook or Instgram or anything like that....

2:09 pm

cybernan

Our health authorities will not release specific locations of covid contacts for fear of reprisals or panic, but I think the info needs to be shouted loud and clear: YOUR KIDS SCHOOL DISCOVERD X NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH POSITIVE RESULTS TODAY. X NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH COVED WERE IN YOUR GROCERY STORE TODAY. May more people would sit up, pay attention and get vaccinated.

2:09 pm

governess

it says my image changed but it didn't. sorry

2:10 pm

governess

my sister in law is in the cult.

2:10 pm

penquis

now that's a thought....they do publish school info here.....and any "outbreak" info....

2:10 pm

governess

i refuse to be indoors with them

2:10 pm

penquis

governess....if you click on your image you will see that it is changed....

2:11 pm

origami

A young friend of mine withdrew his kids from school when there was an outbreak at their school.

2:12 pm

governess

is it a cartoon or is it a black and white cit?

2:12 pm

penquis

it's a colorful pic of a pumpkin....

2:12 pm

governess

oh that's the wrong picture too! ha!

2:12 pm

governess

i was on a saving spree

2:13 pm

hokie carla

you have to do a hard reset to see the new one

2:13 pm

penquis

i am stuck at 14....but only two of those are fours....

2:13 pm

Scrabbler

Let's go, penquis!

2:13 pm

hokie carla

nan, there is an app here that uses your GPS to tell you if you've been near someone who tested positive. of course they would have to have the app too.

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

tern

2:14 pm

penquis

our state also lists vaccination rates of school staff by school.....

2:14 pm

cybernan

some of the provinces have that app here, but BC isn't one of them

2:15 pm

Scrabbler

Free clue.

2:16 pm

hokie carla

still stuck on 11 here with 4 4s

2:16 pm

cybernan

35 here and struggling

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

62 left and seeing nuffin'.

2:17 pm

governess

okay i give up i can't find the right one

2:18 pm

Scrabbler

I have no doubt that the vaccine will be required for school children by next Sept and there will be an uproar.

2:18 pm

penquis

yes...the uproar here right now is with nurses refusing to get the vaccine...

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Same here and they are portraying themselves as victims and martyrs.

2:19 pm

hokie carla

I don't understand why previously non anti-vaxxers are now opposed to mandatory vaccines when their kids have had to get all the other ones for years.

2:19 pm

cybernan

same here on the nurses, pen --- and these people are supposedly educated in the science!

2:19 pm

penquis

one hospital has to send patients to other facilities because of a nurse shortage....

2:19 pm

cybernan

God save me from such a nurse.

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

Agreed.

2:20 pm

origami

It's amazing that some medical professionals scoff at the vaccine. So dumb.

2:20 pm

penquis

yes, i am amazed by the idea that these people think they know more than the world experts in infectious diseases....

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

And these people do not fear the virus. I have been in fear since this started.

2:20 pm

hokie carla

my brother works for a hospital group in accounting and has been required to get a flu shot every year he's worked there, as have the nurses. but now they are opposed to having to get that.

2:21 pm

penquis

yes, me, too!

2:21 pm

hokie carla

*that = covid shot

2:21 pm

cybernan

me too scrabbs -- and I am in no way medically trained.

2:23 pm

penquis

well i think i need a break...bbl to find those pesky 14 words....bye all...

2:24 pm

cybernan

Everyone's rights come to a halt when those rights infringe on someone else's rights --- any other way of living is Chaos --- and we thought '1984' was fiction!

2:24 pm

Scrabbler

Bye penquis

2:24 pm

cybernan

bye pen - hags

2:25 pm

governess

precisely cyber, never mind when one fools freedoms take away all the freedoms of the immune compromised.

2:26 pm

Scrabbler

Such selfish and ignorant people.

2:28 pm

Scrabbler

And it is so hard to discover who fits in that group. This pandemic has revealed people's character.

2:29 pm

governess

i think that is the saddest part, its destroyed my faith in humanity.

2:29 pm

Scrabbler

Yes. I have detached from the now-evident lunatics.

2:32 pm

governess

it can be very isolating

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

But I no longer want to be with them. I am disappointed.

2:33 pm

governess

yes. there seems no winning.

2:34 pm

Scrabbler

Especially the one person trying to convert me. She truly thinks she can teach me.

2:34 pm

governess

i blocked a friends number because all she did was text me things like plandemic

2:34 pm

origami

I guess all of my friends share my view of things as I don't have one who is opposed to the vaccine.

2:35 pm

Scrabbler

"Watch this video....read this..." No, this is not scientifically valid material.

2:35 pm

governess

i envy that origami, my family seems so alien to me at times

2:37 pm

origami

You would think your experience would change their minds, gov.

2:37 pm

Scrabbler

It's 2 friends, one an RN, that are trying to educate me with their research.

2:39 pm

governess

thing is origami no one sees what doesn't smack them in the face. they are the one that will get winded on a single flight of stairs, its not the strange feeling in their chest that forces them to sit down, and they're not the ones with stupid exhaustion for no reason.

2:39 pm

governess

scrabbler i find the one being an rn so disturbing

2:41 pm

Scrabbler

Yes! So she was terminated 3 weeks ago and whines about her service to the community, her devotion to the patients, but the governor mandated the vaccine. "It's not fair."

2:42 pm

dcseain

it is fair! She ought have a clue about public health. SMDH

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

It is the right thing to do for public health and for patients.

2:42 pm

governess

so often those that want to shout about their freedoms forget that freedom does not mean freedom from consequences. she was free to make a choice. her choice had a consequence.

2:44 pm

Scrabbler

"We took care of patients for 18 months and now we get treated like this. There will be a shortage of nurses." Good bye.

2:44 pm

governess

wonder how many patients she infected

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

She claims she was infected months ago but never got tested.

2:46 pm

dcseain

i find that shocking considering where she worked.

2:46 pm

governess

i mean i never got tested, but that was back when you couldn't get tested. sounds like a flimsy excuse at best from her.

2:47 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Seain. I was shocked when she told me. And she has 3 kids at home.

2:48 pm

dcseain

:(

2:48 pm

Scrabbler

Her excuse = I am immune and no risk to patients and "natural immunity" is the best. Nope.

2:48 pm

dcseain

so not, agreed

2:48 pm

governess

and i bet she's never had herself tested for antibodies either then

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

No, but even if present, how long will immunity last. A vaccine protects her better.

2:50 pm

governess

it does. they've studied and shown that. but you won't be able to show her those studies. they will be part of a big fauci conspiracy.

2:53 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, I know how they think and who they trust--chiropractors, naturopaths, quack docs.

2:53 pm

governess

it was lovely chatting with sane people. but my eyeballs are grumpy so i'm off. toodles.

2:53 pm

dcseain

be well, governess

2:54 pm

Scrabbler

Rest up, governess.
