Gillie

Maybe it was a different word concerning aquifers

then I added an F in front of it just for fun. But also no.

more gassy isn't a word, either, even tho I've used it plenty to describe my former housemate, lol

HI, Scrabs

Scrabbler

I knew you would be here. How are you?
5:58 am
ItalianGreyhound

Good - typing away. Mountain cedar fever is here so I am fighting that
5:59 am
Scrabbler

A nasal allergy?
6:00 am
ItalianGreyhound

Yes - Juniper tree pollen - gives me a little vertigo
6:01 am
Scrabbler

For us here in the Northeast, seasonal allergies end in October with the first frost.
6:02 am
ItalianGreyhound

Cedar fever, as they call it here, starts Dec. 1st and goes through Jan
6:03 am
ItalianGreyhound

its the only thing I have ever been allergic to
6:04 am
Scrabbler

What helps you?
6:06 am
ItalianGreyhound

antihistamine, and my body slowly adjusts. No more vertigo, just a little light headed
6:07 am
Scrabbler

Ever tried a nasal steroid spray? OTC Flonase, Rhinocort?
6:08 am
ItalianGreyhound

I have it in arms reach :). You are good!
6:08 am
Scrabbler

Psst, I am a doctor.
6:09 am
ItalianGreyhound

so with both, I am outside almost all day - and yes I figured you were

Good luck getting through the season.

the student who brought a ukulele to school and was playing it in the morning last week has come to school in traditional Scottish apparel today! i don't know this kid but i like him.

7:45 am
Meatball421

Maybe the student just wants to bring smiles to faces
7:56 am
hokie carla

when you put it that way bea, it makes it seem a lot worse (the s's)
7:56 am
BzznBea

Good morning, Carla.
7:57 am
hokie carla

hey bea
7:57 am
hokie carla

I played a little this morning when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. almost got HOET but it's those stupid vowels keeping me from it as usual.
7:58 am
welki

hi hokie, carla, lurkers
7:58 am
hokie carla

hey welki and everyone else
7:58 am
BzznBea

Good morning, welki
7:59 am
hokie carla

I still need 27 + 4 s's. ugh.
8:00 am
MollyL

27 + 4?
8:01 am
BzznBea

I'm LMAO...My mom has a
8:01 am
hokie carla

I have 33/60 and 9/13
8:01 am
hokie carla

I've been saying things like that forever and even ru doesn't complain
8:02 am
BzznBea

As I was trying to say...She has a Santa and a snowman that are motion activated. She is trying to sleep and they are singing and dancing.
8:02 am
BzznBea

I have no idea what is setting them off.
8:02 am
hokie carla

are you purposefully moving to activate them bea?
8:02 am
MollyL

Complain? I asked a question.
8:04 am
hokie carla

if you can fraternize, why isn't fratern a word??
8:04 am
BzznBea

I tried that too.
8:04 am
hurshy

she means because there are 2 S tiles, she needs 27 from the first S tile and 4 from the other one, 27 + 4 S :)
8:05 am
hokie carla

thank you for understanding, hurshy. 😁 PS - I have a podcast reco for you so don't go anywhere.
8:07 am
BzznBea

And don't try freon.
8:07 am
hokie carla

for hurshy and bea and any other word nerds - the podcast is 99% Invisible and the episode is #460 - Corpse, Corps, Horse, and Worse. How English spelling and pronunciation have evolved to what they are today.
8:07 am
hokie carla

yes, I did not try freon
8:08 am
mattygroves

I did. :(
8:08 am
hokie carla

I did see it but wasn't falling for that today
8:09 am
BzznBea

Thanks for the podcast recommendation.
8:10 am
BzznBea

Mr. Bea was giving me grief the other day because I was decorationg the tree and listening to true crime pods.
8:11 am
welki

heh, that's funny, bea :)
8:11 am
hokie carla

I don't listen to that one regularly because I forget but it's always good. usually it's about things we see everyday and how they came about, like there was one about the things in sidewalks/curbs (can't rem. what they are called) for wheelchairs but they ended up being beneficial to everyone. it is a nice break from the true crimes.
8:12 am
welki

not a creature was stirring, not even the murderer disguised as the elf on the shelf
8:12 am
hokie carla

I'm so thankful my boys just missed elf on the shelf. boy, do I hate that.
8:13 am
hokie carla

it became a who could outdo who on FB with the staging of the elf every night
8:13 am
welki

i do, too - saw a vid of one in a blender
8:17 am
hokie carla

oh, re: below - they are just called curb cuts and that is ep. 308
8:18 am
BzznBea

Another interesting podcast on spotify is Obituaries. They talk about the relationships between two people like Alexander Graham Bell and Helen Keller, Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft. Interesting stuff.
8:18 am
hokie carla

oh, I think Mo Rocca had a similar one but it seemed he stopped making episodes
8:19 am
hokie carla

or maybe he moved to spotify. I quit listening when they do that because I don't want another app and I've heard the spotify podcast interface is horrible.

well I didn't call him cranky, FTR

2:19 pm
Gillie

I think because "artesian" originally referred to a place in France (where the wells were used), Enable treated it as a proper noun. That's obviously not correct, but Enable has many failings.

Not a proper *noun*, obviously, but proper.

Oh - hemp's gone, I guess
3:14 pm

must have been j and j; i don't think the other 2 resulted in such a bad reaction to first shot, but maybe i'm wrong on that.
3:15 pm
Gillie

I did get a rash that stuck around for quite a while from the Pfizer, but no issues apart from that.
3:17 pm
Gillie

(Exacerbated by a reaction to the bandage and my tendency to want to scratch.)
3:18 pm
mab

my j and j friends didn't have such a reaction either. i don't have data or remember what i've read. rash - that's not good. i'm pfizer too. no reaction. not much of an immune system.
3:18 pm
mab

got sparkly band aid for booster. was very proud of my band aid.
3:19 pm
Gillie

The advice we were given was not to worry about a rash.
3:20 pm
mab

golly. seems so long ago to me. sort of was.
3:21 pm
Gillie

I tried to avoid scratching by replacing the original bandage with a larger one, but the adhesive seemed to cause further irritation.
