une, i think it was you who had posted a link to a frida kahlo article - maybe about the recent sale of one of her paintings?

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

Yes! It was a record breaking auction.....was bought by an individual in France I believe

8:59 am

Uneaixoise

$34.9 million!

8:59 am

rururocks

I don't know who frida kahlo is

9:00 am

rururocks

I know frito lay

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

Article was on npr.org

9:05 am

Meatball421

rururocks Frida is a very famous Mexican artist

9:06 am

Meatball421

There is currently a Frida Kahlo immersive production, like the one done for Van Gogh

9:06 am

welki

don't know if you've heard this yet, but here's a link of a recording of her voice https://tinyurl.com/5fnruhas

9:08 am

welki

...and this is just funny :)

https://tinyurl.com/22braj3d

9:08 am

welki

ru, i'm sure if you saw a photo of her, or of her art, you'd know who she was

9:09 am

rururocks

I did look.. I am not familiar with her art

9:09 am

Meatball421

That IS pretty funny Weiki, especially the PRICE!

9:10 am

hokie carla

I only know her because Salma Hayek played her in a biopic

9:11 am

hokie carla

with a unibrow

9:11 am

welki

i haven't seen it, hokie - was it any good?

9:12 am

welki

(seems like selma hayek would be perfect)

9:15 am

hokie carla

I never saw it either, just remember when it came out. SH might have been nominated for an oscar for it.

9:17 am

hokie carla

just checked imdb. she was indeed nominated for an oscar for that role.

9:18 am

hokie carla

2003

9:18 am

welki

guess i'll have to try to find it :)

9:19 am

hokie carla

nicole kidman won that year for playing virginia woolf

9:19 am

rururocks

that was kidman's best movie by far

9:20 am

hokie carla

didn't see that either

9:21 am

rururocks

it's called The Hours

9:21 am

rururocks

and Meryl Streep was amazing in it

9:21 am

rururocks

and Ed Harris

9:21 am

hokie carla

yep, and she was in heavy prosthetics with the nose

9:22 am

welki

i looked at kidman in the makeup - i think i'd have a hard time believing her in the role

9:22 am

welki

then again, she IS an actress, so what do i know

9:22 am

rururocks

no.. she was fantastic in that movie.. and I'm not a fan of hers

9:23 am

hokie carla

I think they always win when they "ugly" themselves up for a role. bad luck for salma that year that someone else did it.

9:24 am

welki

beauty as a disadvantage - wouldn't know anything about it :D

9:26 am

hokie carla

me either

9:27 am

hokie carla

don't hate me because I'm beautiful (old tv ad that I used to say and it always cracked my cousin up)

9:27 am

rururocks

my brother got the good looks in my family and I got the common sense

9:28 am

hokie carla

phantom fulcrum

9:31 am

rururocks

Julianne moore was in the hours too and she was fantastic too. .it's a great film

9:34 am

hokie carla

hmm, was just trying stuff for the D and accidentally typed F and it led to 4 F's I'd missed.

9:47 am

MollyL

The Hours is a good movie, but very depressing.

9:48 am

hokie carla

ok then, I'll pass. thanks.

12:57 pm

cybernan

12:57 pm

periwinkle

1:03 pm

MollyL

I think Peri would like to be "up" sizing

1:03 pm

cybernan

that is certainly a lot more fun, Molly

1:04 pm

cybernan

A neighbour told me about a couple of women she hires to come in once a month and give her house a thorough cleaning --- thinking about going for that as soon as hubby has some antibodies built up again.

1:04 pm

MollyL

I believe Peri is temporarily moving in with her friend/landlord until she finds a permanent place

1:06 pm

cybernan

ok - did't know what the situation was

The 3rd letter is a consonant

1:54 pm

ursh

oops sorry yes a consonant

2:31 pm

Soodle

Hey all. Hope you are still here Ursh. Just wondering about this omicron variant & it's impact in SA?

2:32 pm

Soodle

Flippit. Just noticed the time lag....

2:39 pm

mab

I have a friend living in SA and it seems, unsurprisingly, the white population is not heavily affected.

2:40 pm

mab

The townships are terrible.

2:40 pm

hurshy

:(

2:41 pm

mab

US is still allowing US nationals to return to US, but I think most other nations have stricter rules. Even though the horse is far out of the stable.

2:42 pm

mab

SA feels unjustly punished by travel bans, as they were so forthcoming about omicron.

2:45 pm

mab

At the moment, though, they have sufficient vaccine. A huge problem is hesitancy among those who suffer from HIV and/or TB. The health system has long left them to suffer, it seems to me. In fact, they are highly distrustful at large.

2:47 pm

mab

HIV and TB (so often comorbidly) are rampant in townships.

2:58 pm

hurshy

i have a friend who works in public health who was working in africa until the pandemic started. then she had to make a very quick decision about whether to move her family back to the US for the duration or not (she did).

3:01 pm

hurshy

woohoo, i just monkeyed the 9 (and its 8)

3:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

greetings all! diving in

3:28 pm

periwinkle

I am not moving in with my landlord. she is moving in with her son. I am moving in with her cousin. they lived downstairs. her cousin and I have been friends for over 40 years.

3:46 pm

cybernan

hi again - store shelves are nearing empty again - glad I went out for some produce this morning.

3:48 pm

cybernan

3:49 pm

eieios

3:49 pm

hurshy

4:03 pm

cybernan

tinear is absolutely a word - it was my misfortune to have to teach many kids who had them

4:04 pm

eieios

so may phantoms today!

4:04 pm

eieios

so is masago, nan.

4:04 pm

eieios

and what about mahi?

4:05 pm

rururocks

it's mahi mahi

4:05 pm

eieios

still

4:06 pm

cybernan

that being said -- I have come across a couple of prefixes that are treated as words in this one.

4:06 pm

eieios

my sciatica is so bad today i can hardly move. so miserable.

4:07 pm

rururocks

that is painful

4:07 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* any clues wanted before I leave?
eieios - what are you taking for it?

4:08 pm

rururocks

i'm not sure what I need nan

4:08 pm

eieios

phantoms = courage, fantasy, curry, female, tinsel, etc.

4:08 pm

eieios

e on the bottom row?

4:09 pm

cybernan

volcano

4:09 pm

eieios

o in the right column?

4:09 pm

cybernan

and paint that isn't latex

4:09 pm

eieios

dang it. always the easy ones!

4:09 pm

eieios

thx!

4:10 pm

cybernan

or 4 babblet

4:10 pm

cybernan

or 4/4 babblet

4:11 pm

cybernan

or a bacchanalian party (or 4/8)

4:12 pm

eieios

got that one. ;-)

4:12 pm

eieios

and the possessive.

4:12 pm

cybernan

what are you taking for your sciatica eio?

4:12 pm

eieios

are their two babblets or just one?

4:13 pm

cybernan

4/4 babblet and plural

4:13 pm

eieios

gotcha.

4:13 pm

cybernan

no that isn't right

4:13 pm

eieios

i have pain meds, but they don't really help.

4:13 pm

cybernan

there is also an or 5-6 combo

4:14 pm

eieios

i haven't found much that does when i habe a flare like this.

4:15 pm

cybernan

don't laugh, but try midol. I found that a lot of the pain was being caused by muscle spasms triggered by the sciatica. Midol contains both a paine reliever and a muscle relaxant.

4:15 pm

eieios

good idea. hadn't thought of that.

4:16 pm

eieios

i have muscle relaxers, but they make me too sleepy for day time.

4:16 pm

cybernan

It only gives 2 or 3 hours of relief, but I figured that was better than nothing.

4:17 pm

eieios

anything is better than nothing at this point. i have an appt with my pain doc on Wed, but have to work tmrw.

4:18 pm

cybernan

then I hope the midol will help -- the trick is to take it when the pain first starts and you can safely take up to 4 per day (4 hours apart)

4:21 pm

cybernan

on my way -- have a good afternoon/evening everyone. Stay safe.

4:38 pm

eieios

thx for your help
