Babble chat is something that I read every day. For the most part, I enjoy it, although I don't participate. I don't care for the political commentary or the snarky comments, so I have preferred to just stay in the background. You, Zooz, have always seemed to me to be such a kind and gentle soul - someone I would love to know in person. Odd, isn't it, that people who have never laid eyes on you feel more of a kinship than those in your physical world....

I agree Ru. Some of the recent discussions have been very interesting, even with differences of opinion.
5:27 pm
lexophile

Thankfully, the players who were really stirring the pot seem to have either gone away or have decided to just keep the snark to a minimal level. It's just that there used to be so much of it that I decided that lurk mode was the best option for me. There are quite a few of you players with whom I think I would thoroughly enjoy spending an evening of socializing over a bottle of wine... :)
5:30 pm
lexophile

Differences of opinion are NECESSARY and should be respectfully discussed. Not everyone is able to do that, but we should all learn to have a bit more tolerance for what we deem different - even unacceptable (to a certain point, of course)
6:44 pm
rururocks

it seems like political discussions even discussing Trump have been very civil... I think the chat has been very pleasant for more than a year and a half. The troublemakers seemed to have moved on or are content to lurk.

a slight convexity given to a column or tower, as to correct an optical illusion.

Hello Nef and everyone else here, lurkers included since I am one most often. Just wanted to say how nice it is to see Nef again.
8:06 pm
Nef

Hi, Bugs. It's nice to be back. I've been playing off & on with the chat off the screen for about a month now; nit's amazing how stupid one gets when you don't play word games on a daily basis!
8:08 pm
Bugsaw

I don't think we are stupid but I get the feeling. Cybernan has a good joke on that - If you find yourself searching for a word say, "I can't remember the word in English." That way people will think you are smart instead of forgetful.
8:08 pm
mich_pdx

Agreed, Nef, nice to see you here :)

8:19 pm
Nef

We had to move to Senior living in Sept. of 2020, my old computer died and I kind of lost some of my favorite online places (&also the time to play here).
8:20 pm
Bugsaw

I was hoping the being in a supported living place would give you more time to yourself now, Nef. Are you still doing almost everything?
8:23 pm
Nef

I just have to keep track of everything these days, his memory is *maybe* 2 minutes long; so I can't tell him to just go play Bingo because (even though he loves it) he can't remember where he's going to get there! (It's just below us 2 floors, using the elevator he can still get lost)
8:26 pm
Bugsaw

My husband is going down that road too. I am sorry. It can be very frustrating for the caregivers. Will they make sure he stays in the building if he gets lost?
8:28 pm
Nef

yes, especially now (it's winter & the temp has been around zero (f) or a month now).
8:32 pm
Nef

This place has been very protective of everyone with Covid; which, one the 1 hand is frustrating & restrictive, but on the other hand we've only had 14 cases (counting the staff, even!)since Covid started & I think only 2 deaths (there are over 120 residents here and IDK the size of the staff)
8:33 pm
Bugsaw

That must be a relief. When my mother tried to wander off the staff made sure to keep her inside until they could find my father and give her back. She got out a couple of times but not often because they had to go find her.
8:34 pm
Bugsaw

That is a good safety record. Well done to all the staff and visitors for going along with the rules.
8:39 pm
Nef

It is a good record. it's also frustrating if we're the ones quarantined (we were after Christmas 2020 when we visited our sons' house for 3 hrs. Christmas Eve). We had to stay in our apt. for 2 weeks! Thank goodness for the vaccines!
8:42 pm
Bugsaw

It will be so much better when people don't have to spend so much time apart, for sure. I agree that vaccines are making the difference.
8:49 pm
Nef

They have made such a difference. Our new friends here are a good 20 years older than us, & a 96 y/o guy tested positive for Covid; said he felt rotten for 2 days & then just felt like he had a very bad cold. but he'd been vaccinated & we'd had our boosters too, & he's back playing cards & still telling everyone sick "dad" jokes. 😊
8:51 pm
Bugsaw

Such a good story. Omicrom is supposed to be like a bad cold if you are vaccinated but it is good to know it didn't trip up a 96 year old.
8:54 pm
Nef

(We play cards & some board games & do jigsaw puzzles in the game room which is right next to our apartment; Frank can go there and play cards or Rummikub & work on jigsaw puzzles; & they are very patient with him most of the time.
8:57 pm
gingentle

Hi Nef! Been a minute...
8:57 pm
origami

It's good he has some mentally stimulating things to do, Nef.
8:58 pm
Bugsaw

Those activities will keep his mind as sharp as it can be. My husband won't play games or socialize (unless free food is involved) so I have to keep him home as long as possible. He likes to putter in his workshop, even if all he is doing is moving things around.
9:01 pm
Nef

IDK how they can be as patient with him as they are sometimes. We play the card game "500" & he will bid in hearts & not play them. *I* get aggravated at him when that happens!
9:03 pm
Bugsaw

It is harder for you because you remember the man he used to be. Others can go home and have a laugh. It is all good. One day you will all be playing TIGWAR - The Incredible Game Without Any Rules. ;)
9:06 pm
Nef

LOL, Bugs! that's funny!
9:08 pm
Bugsaw

It comes from an old movie about baseball players. I had kids over a 14 year spread so when the older ones would play cards the little ones would want in so they just had a couple of hands of TIGWAR and everyone was happy.
9:09 pm
Bugsaw

Bang the Drum Slowly
9:09 pm

It is hard to see him loose it. He had a Masters Degree in Ag. Economics, worked in the USDA for 25+ years, was a great cook, funny conversationalist, etc. & now that's all gone.
9:10 pm

these last 9 words are elusive
9:11 pm
Nef

I have 32 left. I should concentrate on the grid again, right? 😉
9:12 pm
Bugsaw

It is one of the worst things to watch happen to someone . I am so sorry that there are so many of us doing it. It is often harder on the caregiver than the patient because eventually they reach the point where they don't care but we always will. Sending hugs. I think I will wander off for a cup of tea and will be back later to finish .
9:13 pm
Nef

Okay, enjoy the tea!
9:15 pm

It is hard. My husband had metastatic cancer with brain tumors. Watching him slowly lose it was terrible.
