melonheadjujube

No storms, but days of blustery winds, some rain, andeven sunshine. Oh, and snow one morning. Typical Ohio, 4 season. . . in a week.

12:12 am

Uneaixoise

Much damage in Louisiana but friends and family there are ok

12:15 am

melonheadjujube

12:40 am

sprite

12:41 am

rbud

still kicking, yay for that these days.

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

ah, wrong T!

12:42 am

rbud

T's tromped!

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

The funny thing is, I almost typed it in the, thought, oops, not there. heh, it always pays to give a try!

12:43 am

sprite

very true, rbud :) Good to hear. You keep on kicking, ya hear?

12:45 am

rbud

and how are you, sprite, I heard you had a rough spell?

12:46 am

sprite

yeah, it's been an interesting 6 weeks. But really on the mend now!

12:46 am

rbud

very good to hear. ♥

12:47 am

sprite

:)

12:50 am

rbud

ok, now, that second go4 is just too strange. new one for me.

12:51 am

sprite

the bird?

12:52 am

rbud

I guess so, at least one definition.

12:52 am

sprite

it's been in grids before. Only place I ever encountered it though, in babble :)

12:52 am

rbud

I've seen it with an A instead of O.

12:53 am

sprite

yeah... doesn't it mean to stare, spelled like that?

12:55 am

rbud

thouht so, but the morewords def. leads to a bird and says it's "called also ga**y". Never heard it used like that.

12:55 am

sprite

me neither

12:56 am

rbud

always some new bit of learning to be had here, haha. Makes life interesting.

12:56 am

grannyrose

woopedy doo....*hugs, hugs, hugs*g'day sprite. how are you feeling honey?

12:57 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend! Feeling okay. A little better each day. And you?

12:58 am

grannyrose

doing as well as i can be. hospital and clinic closed. you know what that means. i'm living on valium, magnesium and endone plus the regular stuff.

12:59 am

sprite

I have been thinking about that, darling. Not an easy thing for you, having to postpone the infusions and all. You are in my prayers.

12:59 am

grannyrose

some days are better than others. had a video chat with all my boys, their wives and the grandies yesterday. so that was a pick-me-upper.

1:00 am

sprite

oh lovely!

1:01 am

grannyrose

glad to see you up and about again. you had all of us worried. your kids kept me in the loop though. stopped me from panicking.

1:06 am

sprite

back. Yeah, it's been a bit of scare. Have never been sick for so long. But it is all good now, all that's left is building up energy and muscles again

1:10 am

grannyrose

btw. you know FB? you do have an account i know. did you know i can call you, free, via FB messenger and video chat with you? all you have to do is make sure your sound is on, and when asked, allow FB to use your audio and video things blit into your laptop.

1:11 am

sprite

nope, not on FB

1:11 am

sprite

I use skype or zoom for video chat

1:12 am

grannyrose

you do have a FB account. i have just opened FB typed in your name and there you are.

1:13 am

ursh

Morning all - please excuse the nosiness but I am intrigued - Sprite did you have Corona or just a normal flu ?

1:13 am

sprite

yes sweetie, but I do not use it

1:14 am

sprite

hiya ursh, I am a lucky survivor of the corona virus

1:14 am

ursh

Oh yay - I am happy - I can now say I know somebody who recovered and is almost back to normal :):)

1:15 am

grannyrose

*explosive laughter* sprite ?? normal ?? never

1:15 am

sprite

I actually have about 3 FB accounts, and I have given up. Too much of a time sink for me

1:16 am

grannyrose

but if you only use it to talk to me.....

1:16 am

sprite

thanks ursh! Yes, and that is the normal outcome, thanks God, the people who die or have lasting damage are in the minority.

1:17 am

sprite

Not very trustful re FB either, rose. I prefer skype or zoom, I can have my security settings in place then and know my stuff is not for grabs. FB is not at all secure.

1:18 am

grannyrose

hmmm... Don is trusting it. so long as you don't click on the wrong things.

1:19 am

sprite

*gentle nudge* do you know that on Whatsapp, on an android phone, you can videochat too? :D

1:20 am

grannyrose

*stronger, gentle nudge back* and you know how i feel about tablet phones....

1:20 am

sprite

FB is notorious for not being secure. Even when you have your security settings all on ultra stealth, you still have to check often because they find loopholes.

1:21 am

sprite

just saying... and we could play word games together then too. Worth learning to use an android phone for :D

1:21 am

grannyrose

s'okay. i was only asking if i could call you. nothing more, nothing less.

1:22 am

sprite

you can, but not on FB

1:22 am

grannyrose

okay

1:24 am

sprite

we've been using skype and zoom a lot in OA. No other meetings allowed atm, of course, so it is all virtual.

1:26 am

sprite

I found the fish!

1:27 am

grannyrose

how's Rob doing at work? still a downer?

1:28 am

sprite

no, we are back on track. With the tiny house as well. He is pretty upbeat now.

1:28 am

sprite

oh you asked at work!

1:30 am

sprite

good news! The team where he actually felt at home, but that he was told was only temporary, did not like the idea of hime leaving for another position, lol. When he told them he had applied for another job within the firm, they all of a sudden offered him a 2 year position. So he is happy.

1:31 am

sprite

fireflies

1:31 am

grannyrose

wow !! that's wonderful news. such a good thing for him to hear that he is valued and appreciated.

1:32 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

1:32 am

sprite

exactly. Really overdue, that, and it is doing him a world of good.

1:32 am

grannyrose

oooohhh, send plans of tiny house. i wanna see.

1:33 am

sprite

honey, am gonna lie back down for a spell, energy runs out rather quickly still. *hugs* and it was lovely to see you here again. Am praying for you. Give Don a hug, and have another one yourself :D

1:33 am

sprite

will do, honey

1:34 am

grannyrose

hanx honey. rest well my dear. xox

4:41 am

mattygroves

Thanks!

4:42 am

Grandma Barb

Glad you are recovering Sprite. My prayers are with you.

4:52 am

mattygroves

I have found 82 words, but nothing bigger than a six (and only three of those)...

4:55 am

JaxH66

I have got one of the 8s and a 9, but otherwise nothing bigger than a 6 and only 1 of those

4:56 am

mattygroves

Oooh, can you tell me the stats for your 8 and 9? And if they're 'real' words?

4:57 am

JaxH66

pi8/70 and pl

4:57 am

JaxH66

They are compound words, but yes they are real

4:58 am

mattygroves

Found 'em, thanks!

5:44 am

phandmd

Good Morning

6:36 am

mattygroves

Does anyone have the ey7-8 combo they could give me a hint on, please?

6:37 am

pabtrek

what you look through in a mask, matty

6:37 am

mattygroves

Thanks! I think I'd tried every other possible last four letters before the ocular organ, but that one ;)

6:38 am

pabtrek

your welcome

6:41 am

rururocks

this seems to be an easy grid to close out tiles

6:42 am

mattygroves

Hi Ru!

6:42 am

sukee

And then you hit a wall :)

6:43 am

rururocks

thanks sukee i knew it wasn't going to last :D

6:43 am

rururocks

hi matty

6:44 am

sukee

I was motoring along until I got to 22 left

6:44 am

mattygroves

I've had to go to the list - 8 left now

6:44 am

rururocks

i'm at 15 but not seeing much now

6:47 am

phandmd

I am having a hard time figuring out the big PI words.

6:47 am

mattygroves

Fireworks! Have a great day, all.

6:48 am

sukee

They are combo words.

6:48 am

phandmd

Yeah, I saw that earlier,

6:48 am

sukee

It is a toy that spins in the wind.

6:49 am

phandmd

ah! and I was assuming the color was part of the word! Thank you, Sukee!

6:50 am

phandmd

The wind is back!

6:50 am

sukee

Okay, I am down to 19.

6:50 am

sukee

It is supposed to be very windy here today.

6:52 am

sukee

Going to take a break, good luck

6:57 am

M3

ITs very blowy here too!

6:58 am

rururocks

not going to comment on that one either

6:59 am

phandmd

may I get a clue for the last WH 6/33 pls

7:00 am

BzznBea

We are currently under a tornado warning.

7:00 am

rururocks

wh 6 more of all of it

7:00 am

rururocks

wow bea.. be safe.. i wouldn't like to live in a tornado zone

7:02 am

rururocks

but i'm guessin you wouldn't want to live in earthquake country or my fire ridden county

7:02 am

phandmd

Thanks so much

7:02 am

rururocks

yw phan

7:02 am

rururocks

how are you feeling now?

7:02 am

BzznBea

You got it. I'll deal with tornados any time.

7:03 am

phandmd

about the same. Thanks

7:03 am

rururocks

so glad it didn't get worse for you.. such a scary illness this one

7:04 am

phandmd

yes. It has been one week since I got sick

7:04 am

rururocks

from what i read you still have to be really careful

7:05 am

M3

does the pi8 buid of the pi6 ?

7:05 am

phandmd

yes I have heard that too.

7:05 am

rururocks

no m3

7:05 am

phandmd

M3, no it doesn't, It is a compound word

7:05 am

M3

ok ill keep looking thx

7:06 am

rururocks

it's clued below m3

7:06 am

M3

----> scrolls down

7:08 am

rururocks

i'm doing my best to not catch this thing.. it'd probably put me in the hospital and I can't have that happen

7:10 am

phandmd

may I ask why you say that? I have asthma and was very worried about getting it. My asthma is only mildly inflamed

7:11 am

rururocks

i had asthma as a kid and i also had a serious bout of Pneumonia when i was in my twenties that damaged my lungs

7:12 am

phandmd

I see. Yes, I would be very careful. I guess you are staying home then?

7:12 am

rururocks

I came pretty close to death at that time.. which means you all would have been spared my awful puns and corny jokes though

7:13 am

BzznBea

I'm trying not to get it because I don't want to give it to my mom. She has severe asthma and COPD. This would kill her.

7:13 am

phandmd

I for one am glad for your awful puns and corny jokes...

7:13 am

rururocks

yes.. staying home completely other than short errands to get meds for my dog or shopping

7:13 am

BzznBea

As am I ru.

7:13 am

rururocks

yes bea i was wondering about that too with you guys

7:13 am

phandmd

Do you have cloth masks?

7:14 am

rururocks

yeah.. luckily i have several n95's from the fires and just using them

7:14 am

BzznBea

I do. I wear them anytime I go to the store or pharmacy.

7:14 am

phandmd

good!

7:16 am

rururocks

i've been shopping for my ex who is appreciative as she's very concerned about catching anything.. and in return she's loaded me up with Masks, soaps, and santizing stuff..she's a bit of a germaphobe and this is the apocalypse for her

7:18 am

rururocks

all the grocery stores here have instituted limits and other safety measures. I feel for the workers as they are at high risk seeing so many people each day

7:19 am

BzznBea

I'm not a germaphobe, but I agree this is close to the apocalypse...

7:19 am

rururocks

anyone who deals with worm shit couldn't be a germaphobe :D

7:20 am

BzznBea

Same here with the stores. And it irritates me the stores they are allowing to remain open because they are "essential".

7:21 am

BzznBea

That is certainly true. =)

7:21 am

rururocks

so yesterday in my neighborhood there were a zillion cars of people coming over family's homes and having easter dinner.. are these people nuts? i couldn't believe it

7:22 am

BzznBea

I know. My friends in KS all had family dinners. Absurd!

7:23 am

welki

good morning, everyone

7:23 am

rururocks

i was walking my dog and there wasn't a parking space on the street within two blocks of my house and kids playing outside and parents standing round drinking.. unbelievable

7:23 am

rururocks

hey welki

7:23 am

BzznBea

Morning, welki.

7:23 am

rururocks

phan is that a german shepherd in your icon?

7:24 am

phandmd

Yes, she was a GSD mix, but she strongly favored the GSD in her, in looks and personality. She was such a good girl.

7:25 am

BzznBea

As you know, I live in the 'hood...There are teens and young adults all over the place all day long. And the bootleggers house is very active.

7:25 am

rururocks

i just love that breed.. such incredible dogs

7:26 am

rururocks

bootlegger ? in your neighborhood? holy cow

7:26 am

phandmd

Yes. I am looking to adopt another one. But we decided to wait for things to settle down with corona since I am a nurse. And then I got sick, so it was a good thing we did!

7:26 am

rururocks

my current dog is my last one.. i have had a great run with dogs, but I can't do it anymore

7:27 am

phandmd

why is that?

7:27 am

phandmd

tell me about your pooch...

7:28 am

rururocks

well. a number of reasons .. one i'm older now and i don't want my pet to outlive me (like what happened to Ruby) that would kill me..secondly i am getting closer to retirement and would like to travel some and not be tied down.

7:28 am

welki

(that's what we said, ru. i know you've given it a lot of thought and planned out what your future should look like, but never say never)

7:29 am

phandmd

That makes sense. I am thinking that when we do finally adopt, it will probably be my last for the same reason, don't want my dog to end up in a shelter.

7:29 am

rururocks

i know welki I cannot imagine being without one, but i'm really set in my mind on it. I may (when i retire) work with an animal shelter or do dog walking, but that's going to be it.. losing Chelsea this last December just about killed me

7:30 am

welki

maybe you'll foster when you're home

7:31 am

rururocks

yeah.. like fostering is going to work out with me :D any dog that would come here would likely stay here

7:31 am

welki

well yeah, that's what i was thinking :)

7:32 am

rururocks

chelsea was really a foster too.. but she swept me away with her sweetness

7:32 am

BzznBea

We fostered boxers for a long time.

7:32 am

rururocks

she'd had such a rough life that i wanted to give her some good years

7:32 am

phandmd

What breed was Chelsea?

7:32 am

welki

and for sure, i understand what phan and you are saying, about leaving our pets behind - we say daphne is our last, too (and she probably is, as she's only 3 years old now)

7:33 am

rururocks

Golden Retreivers are my breed phan.. but my first dog was a giant German Shep

7:34 am

phandmd

Goldens are great dogs!

7:34 am

rururocks

I showed them and competed with them in Obedience and did therapy work with one great dogs

7:34 am

phandmd

fireworks!

7:35 am

rururocks

so true welki.. i would imagine that Ruby was worried about her dogs when she was really ill.. I just can't ever be in that place.. it's too unfair to the dog

7:36 am

rururocks

and to be honest.. there's no guarantee i'm going to live for another 15 years.. so i'm just being realistic

7:37 am

welki

no warranties

7:38 am

rururocks

i'll shut up now i've been hogging the chat.. but one thing bea.. i don't know boxers but your photos and videos make me want to have one

7:39 am

BzznBea

They are the clowns of the dog world.

7:39 am

rururocks

you haven't met my dog yet :D there is no bigger goof than this one

7:44 am

Deeha

had a friend with a boxr named Pippy. Nice little boxer I thought. When I met it it could dtand with paws on my shoulders and look me in the face - and often did. 'Hes taken to you'' his owners said. And he had-everytime I sat down he wanted to sit on my lap. So heavy I couldnt move!! Loved that dog

7:45 am

BzznBea

And they are just big old lap dogs.

7:46 am

bichon

That's why I have a Bichon. 13 lbs

7:47 am

rururocks

the only small breed i like are pugs

7:49 am

RoundBarn

we always had boxers on the farm, reat dogs, pets. Ru, I am always glad when you are on the chat.

7:49 am

welki

at the shelter, i met lots of little ones i could have easily taken home - and big ones, and medium ones....

7:51 am

RoundBarn

I'm too old now to hqve a dog, but I'm lone here--it would be nice to hve a cat that sleeps and purrs. I might foster an old czt--but they wreathe around your ankles and this is no time (if there ever is) to fall.

7:54 am

rururocks

yes.. one has to start being really careful about falling when you're older. i've noticed my balance isn't as great as it used to be

7:55 am

rururocks

it was wobbly when i was young and partying and now it's wobbly without drinking :D

7:56 am

BzznBea

You have to practice balance as you get older. I stand on one foot while I'm brushing my teeth. 30 seconds left, 30 seconds right, repeat

7:56 am

rururocks

oh.. the jethro tull brushing method

7:57 am

RoundBarn

I'm glad Rasta met you, Ru. She had a cousin with her whom we scarcely know but who is lonesome. I know she must be closed somewhere, as we all are.

7:57 am

rururocks

i met the cousin... a very nice person.. i liked rasta too a really solid human

7:58 am

RoundBarn

gillian and Eddy have many animal friends on their little farm--I write about them in Ill Times, as I do about you people on the chat. Trif's college play was a hit.

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

7:59 am

rururocks

yeah.. Trif likes to be around drama

7:59 am

player girl

I should never read through the chat too fast. I was sure that someone (phrn?) was hoping to adopt a bootlegger.

7:59 am

RoundBarn

So glad you met them, and liked Rasta.

7:59 am

rururocks

hi scrabs

7:59 am

Scrabbler

You are up early, ruru.

7:59 am

rururocks

i know.. couldn't sleep

8:00 am

rururocks

adopt a bootlegger.. :D that'd be bea

8:00 am

Scrabbler

I have slept poorly for the last month.

8:01 am

rururocks

you could pick him up in distil of the night bea :D

8:01 am

player girl

Gives home brew a wh5 new meaning.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

TY for the clue, pg

8:02 am

RoundBarn

she surely enjoyed it--and she IS solid. Cressida in France--her daughter--is doing well, pretty saf near the Pyranees. Last summer Gillian installed a high grade eco toilet at our place in Vermont, and installed a dock on our little lake. I hope we can go there this summer,

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I sure hope you get there, RB. I know how special that place is for you.

8:02 am

player girl

YW, Scrabbler.Pl too

8:03 am

Dorens

good morning

8:03 am

rururocks

hiya doren

8:03 am

Dorens

slow

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Doren! How are you doing?

8:03 am

zabeth

Morning, all

8:03 am

Dorens

uh oh. free word there

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I already have that one, Doren.

8:04 am

Dorens

Hi Scrabbs, Ru. I'm doing okay. The way I see it, I've visited Anne Frank's house(attic) and Nelson Mandela's prison cell on Robben Island, and I have no right to complain.

8:04 am

BzznBea

PG, I do not want to adopt a bootlegger...Already got one. =)

8:05 am

Atalante

hi all, does anyone need any clues?

8:05 am

Dorens

I read down in the chat and I can agree, Ru's dog is definitely a goof!

8:05 am

Dorens

Scrabbs, how's the practice going?

8:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Probably, but I haven't listed yet. Thanks for offering!

8:05 am

Dorens

No thanks Ata but good morning ( or afternoon)

Scrabbler

Hi Atalante. Did you see Featherbee's photos on FB? They found a litter of newborn kittens in their barn 2 days ago, and mama has been around.

8:06 am

player girl

Hi. Atalante,I need the E From 2nd column.Also bigger words.So far I don't have anything bigger than a 6

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Doren, it is scary because we don't know if we are being exposed to COVID and must assume we are.

8:07 am

Atalante

2 e4 from 2nd column

8:07 am

Atalante

No I didn't!!!

8:07 am

player girl

TY

8:07 am

Scrabbler

You will love the photos and videos. I have watched them numerous times.

8:07 am

Atalante

big words are Es and Ps

8:08 am

player girl

Didn't know that word. Must be a babblet. Hope I remember it.

8:08 am

rururocks

i believe in spaying and neutering

8:08 am

Dorens

That's what goes on with my son as well, scrabbs. And his clinic (Johns Hopkins, East Balatimore) was only giving him surgical masks!

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, it is a stray cat.

8:08 am

Dorens

I feel for all of you in the field. I know you're being careful, but I also know the anxiety that must come bubbling up (of course not my son. He is invincible)

8:09 am

rururocks

the rescue organization that i work with traps and spays feral cats

8:09 am

Scrabbler

We have N95 masks and wash our hands frequently. The difficulty with young kids is that that sneeze, cough, spit, fight during exams. We have to wrestle toddlers.

8:09 am

BzznBea

So do I. I've TNR on sixty cats.

8:10 am

rururocks

TNR?

8:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Trap Neuter Release

8:10 am

Scrabbler

2/5 docs in our office have needed testing due to illness and have been negative. False negative? Neither have been terribly ill.

8:10 am

BzznBea

Trap, neuter release

8:10 am

Dorens

False negatives are definitely a thing

8:11 am

Scrabbler

25% false negative rate for current tests.

8:11 am

rururocks

you are such a saint bea.. you really are.. you and une are my heroes

8:11 am

Atalante

I know in AStoria they are telling people the tests are around 60% accurate, which is probably not too far off teh truth

8:12 am

BzznBea

Awe, shucks, ru. <blushing> =)

8:12 am

periwinkle

my new fridge and freezer are not working :( all defrosted in freezer and food in fridge not cold. called my landlady

8:12 am

rururocks

I'm a giver too bea.. but not at the level you guys are at

8:12 am

Scrabbler

If my partners truly had COVID they were lucky to have mild illnesses and may be immune. Antibody testing will tell us someday.

8:13 am

periwinkle

hi all

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Peri.

8:13 am

Dorens

certain symptoms don't lie. My daughter in law has dry cough, pain breathing, extreme fatigue. after seven days she was tested.. negative. Her sister and two brother-in-laws are MD's. They are sure she has it

8:13 am

BzznBea

That is a great way to start the week, peri. I'm sorry.

8:13 am

Dorens

oh sorry Peri, bad timing

8:14 am

rururocks

i hope your son doesn't catch it doren

8:14 am

SamanthaJoy

It's just terrible, the way the administration has stopped us from getting the accurate tests the rest of the world is using

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Yes, that is COVID, Doren.

8:14 am

SamanthaJoy

And even with these broken tests, we have the highest numbers in the world

8:15 am

Dorens

Me too, ru. She's been quarantined in the guest room, he's been cooking and baking up a storm and taking great care of her but he is super cautious.. It's his nature.. he's a nurturer. But he also inherited his father's cautious (not quite paranoid) behavior

8:16 am

Aloyisius

Good Morning all. Can't wait for the antibody test

8:16 am

Scrabbler

What day is she at in the illness, Doren?

8:16 am

Dorens

Oh the numbers would be SO much higher if we had adequate testing. And here in NJ there are many deaths being attributed to pneumonia, etc that are most likely COVID

8:16 am

Scrabbler

And an effective, vaccine!

8:16 am

rururocks

i'm all for the vaccine

8:16 am

Aloyisius

right, Scrabbs! Pretty sure SIL has it

8:16 am

Dorens

maybe 9 or 10, Scrab. And she says she's starting to feel better.

8:17 am

zabeth

Dorens, it's weird how behaviors that previously would be considered paranoid are now recommended

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Good, Doren.

8:17 am

rururocks

i just got the pneumonia 28 vaccine and my arm hurt like hell for a week

8:18 am

BzznBea

That what I have been wondering. They are now reporting people dieing from "complications" of covid. Is that so US numbers don't look so bad?

8:18 am

BzznBea

Mine too ru. And the shingles at the same time.

8:18 am

zabeth

I saw a guide from my work today about how to protect your family from exposures if you're a healthcare worker and it recommended things like sanitizing every item you bring out of the house, removing all clothing at the door...

8:19 am

Atalante

weve always reported complications from ...

8:19 am

rururocks

i'm doing the shingles after all this crap is over.. my doctor said to wait two weeks to do the shingles, but then this pandemic happened

8:19 am

SamanthaJoy

It's because the family running our country has a financial stake in the company they gave the contract for the tests to.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Many health care workers are not living at home. They are in hotels or RVs. There is a new service called RVs for MDs.

8:19 am

Dorens

Yeah Zabeth, my ex was becoming more and more paranoid (and politically conservative) over the years. I hear he has a doomsday bunker in his new house. Stocked up for 6 months and has guns as well. But then again, he was able to send N95 masks to my son who needed them for his work in the clinic

8:19 am

Glantarell

They are talking about people dying ‘with’ the virus here on this side of the Atlantic. A few weeks ago they were talking about people dying ‘from’ the virus

8:20 am

rururocks

wow doren really?

8:20 am

zabeth

Scrabbler--before we knew whether I'd be seeing patients in person my spouse and I talked about whether we'd live separately. She has asthma, and we didn't want to risk it. Fortunately I'm doing 100% telehealth.

8:20 am

rururocks

if i had a doomsday bunker it'd mostly be a wine cellar :D

8:20 am

Dorens

He's a brilliant neurologist, Ru. But yeah

8:20 am

zabeth

wow, Doren. Masks and food are useful now, not sure about the guns...

8:21 am

Dorens

I'd like yours better, I'm sure

8:21 am

rururocks

i know you would ;)

8:21 am

Scrabbler

What kind of doc are you, zabeth? I am a pediatrician.

8:21 am

Dorens

One of the reasons he's my ex. We were married very young, he picked up some weird hobbies and interests over the years. We stayed married for 20 years and produced some outstanding kids

8:22 am

rururocks

That is true at least the two i've met

8:23 am

EmaMaria

We are not healthcare workers but rejigged our living arrangements to keep loved ones safe. My partner is living with his elderly parents, his sister moved out as she works in a hospital (into her nieces flat who moved in with her boyfriend). My mother moved in with me.

8:23 am

Dorens

Believe me Ru, if and when you meet Jeremy you will be wowed

8:23 am

EmaMaria

We are not healthcare workers but rejigged our living arrangements to keep loved ones safe. My partner is living with his elderly parents, his sister moved out as she works in a hospital (into her nieces flat who moved in with her boyfriend). My mother moved in with me.

8:23 am

Atalante

I'm just a marine ecologician

8:23 am

Dorens

what do you mean "Just"?

8:23 am

zabeth

Scrabbler, I'm a psychologist

8:23 am

Atalante

I don't get masks :D

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Nice, zabeth.

8:24 am

Dorens

ah

8:24 am

rururocks

that was what my degree was going to be in college ata marine biology

8:25 am

rururocks

great zabeth.. we could use one of those around here :D

8:25 am

Atalante

its a fun degree

8:25 am

rururocks

I Know.. i wish i finished college..I always wanted to teach

8:26 am

Dorens

ru, you teach wine to lots of folks

8:27 am

rururocks

i think i would have been a really decent teacher

8:27 am

zabeth

Alright folks, I'm gonna try to be productive. It's hard to stay on task working from home. Catch later :)

MLFAN17

8:43 am

BzznBea

No. Expired at 8:15.

8:44 am

hurshy

is there an H 6/7 combo?

11:48 am

hurshy

no, there isn't

11:49 am

Vicuna

But I am missing a 7, so maybe that one's not fun.

11:49 am

hurshy

well, it is either an H or another T

11:49 am

hurshy

but it's not a combo because the 4 i was missing was an H

11:50 am

Vicuna

Yes, I still need 1 H and 1 T.
