aslindy

hello all

7:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. I have been lurking quietly. How are you and your broken toe?

7:08 am

sukee

Hi all.

7:08 am

aslindy

doing ok, thanks

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Hi sukee.

7:09 am

Scrabbler

How is winter up there, sukee?

7:10 am

sukee

It has quite good until this last snow storm. We have definitely had less snow this year and it hasn't been too cold.

7:10 am

Scrabbler

The local ski resorts have struggled here.

7:11 am

sukee

Yes, they were here too. We got more snow in the south than the areas where most of the resorts are situated.

7:13 am

sukee

I'm just getting over a cold, I'm at the end of the chocking cough stage :) I haven't had a cold in at least 4 years.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

We had 2 massive snowstorms, one was a blizzard, but within 1-2 weeks it warmed up and the snow melted.

7:14 am

sukee

They expect snow here for the next week at least.

7:14 am

Scrabbler

*knock on wood* No cold for me in at least 3 years since I started wearing a mask indoors.

7:15 am

sukee

Things is, I haven't been out much. Just getting deliveries. It was either the guy who delivered my groceries or the guy who delivered my prescription. Or the guy who replaced my lightbulbs. My own fault for not wearing a mask.

7:15 am

sukee

But we didn't get close.

7:16 am

Scrabbler

Coronavirus floats in the air for hours after an infected person has been present.

7:17 am

sukee

Yep, it's back to wearing a mask when anyone visits.

7:25 am

rururocks

did you wash your hands after touching the package?

7:26 am

sukee

I think I may have forgotten with the prescription.

7:26 am

mael

I thought the "it lives on surfaces" thing has been pretty thoroughly dismissed by now, no?

7:27 am

Scrabbler

For CoV, yes. It is an airborne virus.

7:28 am

rururocks

she got a cold not covid mael.. keep up :d

7:28 am

mael

hah, I see now

7:28 am

mael

my bad

7:28 am

sukee

I guess I've gotten complacent again.

7:28 am

mael

but doesn't that apply to regular coronaviruses too, like colds?

7:28 am

Scrabbler

Were you tested, sukee?

7:29 am

sukee

I had a home test, that was negative

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Most respiratory viruses are transmitted by droplets.

7:29 am

sukee

Too hard for me to get out to a doctor right now

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Great, sukee.

7:29 am

mael

to be fair, we've had a constant cold/flu a/rsv/stomach bug/back to a cold since Thanksgiving, so don't look at me for advice

7:30 am

Scrabbler

It has been a very bad sick season for us.

7:31 am

rururocks

I have managed to not catch a cold or covid since before the pandemic.

7:31 am

sukee

So, I've been going through this since last Sunday, and it's going the way all my colds have ever gone. I'm coughing a little less and managing to sleep. The congestion is stayng in my nose and my breathing is fine. I'm assuming by Monday I should be almost back to normal.

7:31 am

mael

ahh the joys of having kids in elementary school :)

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Nice, ruru.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

mael, you are a target.

7:33 am

rururocks

I think all mothers are targets these days

7:33 am

mael

for us it's feeling much like the first winter they were in daycare, where they (and therefore us) caught every germ that came their way

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Schools are microbiology labs.

7:34 am

mael

our pediatrician is actually quite happy about it, he says it's filling in their immunity gap from the past two years. We're all vaxxed for everything, thankfully

7:34 am

mael

they are microbiology labs and biochemical weapon testing facilities

7:35 am

sukee

bbl

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Name Bugs Bunny's nemesis with a speech problem?

7:41 am

rururocks

well that would be mr fudd

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Yes! Elmer always cracked me up, still does.

7:42 am

mael

name that videogame console

7:42 am

mael

I admit I tried fudder

7:43 am

dan2bit

7:43 am

mael

ding ding ding, everyone wins one

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Mel Blanc was talented.

7:44 am

rururocks

my all time fave elmer fudd is robin williams sings the Pointer Sisters hit Fire as Elmer

7:46 am

MollyL

That is hilarious, Ru

7:48 am

MollyL

Mael, I agree with your pediatrician

7:48 am

rururocks

I'm dwiving in my Car, I turn down the wadio

7:49 am

saanichcat

too funny!

7:49 am

MollyL

No one will ever match the humor of Robin Williams. I miss him and I'm sorry he had such a sad life.

7:50 am

mael

phantom: chatchke

7:51 am

rururocks

I enjoyed Jonathan Winters as a kid too.

7:51 am

rururocks

would the grid take that mael or is that too yiddish?

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I did too, ruru.

7:52 am

mael

I guess it's a variant spelling right? I think it takes tchotchke

7:52 am

mael

but I did find some cheese

7:52 am

rururocks

good morning saanich

7:53 am

saanichcat

'morning to you ru. we are expecting snow tomorrow.

7:53 am

jzw

7:56 am

rururocks

i did a few words at the flip and those people are insanely bright.. they're calling out all the 7's and 8's instantly

7:57 am

mael

haha I tried the cr6 on a lark. I miss Steve Irwin

7:57 am

Scrabbler

That always amazes me, ruru. A very different group is at the flip.

7:58 am

rururocks

I've met some of the smartest people I know here in this game

7:58 am

Scrabbler

I am looking for a fruit, jzw.

7:59 am

jzw

Though I prefer apple with the this cheese

7:59 am

Scrabbler

I found it. TY.

8:00 am

mael

we have a saying in Italy, al contadin non far sapere quanto e' buono il formaggio con le pe4

8:00 am

mael

"don't let the farmer know how good cheese is with pe4s"

8:00 am

rururocks

there's a couple of fruits though

8:01 am

mael

the other one I have doesn't really go with cheese, I'd say.

8:05 am

MollyL

No, it goes with cream ðŸ˜Š

8:07 am

rururocks

8:08 am

1:40 pm

ch1212

bbl - doing laundry

2:26 pm

cybernan

not entirely false -- railway gauges were not standardized originally -- but the idea that ancient roads were designed for horse drawn vehicles and had some bearing on modern day transportation design is true. Also, components of the space shuttle did have to be designed according to restrictions involved in rail transportaion. Still a good tale to point out how ancient policies can still affect us today.

2:27 pm

cybernan

* and we still elect horses' asses!

2:48 pm
