this one is going to be tough -- still don't see that 10 that freep spotted right away
12:22 am
justafreep

I retired after that. That is why I haven't found anything else worthwhile. Uh huh. that's why. :-)
12:27 am
cybernan

12:27 am
justafreep

The rest will be here when you unretire tomorrow!
12:32 am
cybernan

I've come to the conclusion that the tr 10 is something I've never seen or heard before
12:32 am
justafreep

you may have. it is not a common word, and I didn't find it by looking for it... but once I started going, it rang a bell
12:33 am

It's a three-armed symbol - might be Celtic?

Spiral arms radiating from the centre.
12:36 am
Gillie

(I'm referring to the tr10.)

Hi there Sprite! **hugs**
2:01 am
sprite

hi Kam *hugs back* How are you and Michael doing?
2:03 am
Kamanjah

Hanging in. I'm still waiting for it to be safer to go shopping and such, and sitting home is not helping.
Are you doing a lot better? I hope so!
2:03 am
sprite

had a bit of a relapse again. It is a darned flu, for sure. Almost impossible to pace yourself just enough.
2:04 am
kje

hola
2:04 am
sprite

sorry to hear things are still so scary overthere. Here, we can go to stores safely now. All at 1.5m distance, of course.
2:04 am
sprite

hi kje :)
2:04 am
kje

hi sprite - good to see you
2:05 am
sprite

great to see you too. I hope you are well?
2:05 am
kje

yes. you?
2:05 am
Kamanjah

Darn, sorry to hear you had a relapse. After all of the protests and people gathering for the Memorial day holiday, cases have increased greatly over the past 72 hours.
2:06 am
sprite

recovering from the covid flu. It is taking a long time. But happy to be alive and grateful things weren't as bad as they might have been.
2:07 am
sprite

the protests are troubling indeed. On one hand, a thing worth protesting against. But health-wise not a good idea.
2:07 am
sprite

my daughter and her beloved both debated going to the protests here, but decided against it because of the health risks, to themselves AND others.
2:07 am
kje

sorry to hear that, sprite - but glad you are doing better
2:08 am
sprite

thanks kje. Great to hear you are doing well.
2:10 am
kje

thankfully, here, there has not been a sppike in cases. The protestors have done a fairly good job here of complying with masks and the 6 ft rule, but it is likely to early yet to tell
2:11 am
sprite

yeah, it will take about a week to start having symptoms if you attrack the virus.
2:11 am
Kamanjah

I still wear a mask when I have to go to the store, but people aren't paying attention to distancing. Trying to get to the meat counter is crazy. I saw so many protest photos that had people crammed together and not wearing masks - and then all the rioting at night. That seems to have calmed down, but even some of our small local towns have had to put curfews in place - out-of-town folks came in buses to protest here! It has been crazy, since we're not too far from some of the roughest cities in Calif.
2:12 am
sprite

that is scary stuff, Kam, so sorry
2:12 am
Kamanjah

kje, do you live in the City itself?
2:13 am
kje

yes
2:13 am
Kamanjah

Most of the large problems I heard about happened in the East Bay, Stockton, and Sac
2:13 am
kje

and looks like you live with the famous frog...
2:14 am
sprite

ohhhh great 10 letter word!
2:14 am
Kamanjah

No frog jump this year, but I do have lots of frogs in my garden and greenhouse. I love listening to them sing.
2:15 am
kje

that's pretty much teh extent of my knowledge re calaveras county
2:15 am
sprite

oh I know, right? Such a lovely sound. And our dog loves frogs. He enjoys making them jump in the water, lol.
2:15 am
kje

I haven't found it yet, sprite... stats?
2:15 am

2:16 am

hmmm... ok, looking
2:16 am

not a word you use daily, but a great find
2:17 am
kje

hmmm
2:19 am
kje

ok, got it, but only bc of the points
2:19 am
sprite

wow well done!
2:19 am
kje

I atually do not know that word
2:20 am

2:30 am
sprite

tsk. Hugging me last. Evil woman.
2:31 am
grannyrose

atta girl with the magnesium. poor you. me too.... wretched muscle spasms are killing both of us because when i yell he has to get up and come round and help me to stand
2:32 am

hey, i always save the best for last...
2:32 am

good save!

aw poor rose :( That sucks big time, honey.
2:33 am

latest news for me, i have made up my mind. doc john has applied to workcover for nerve stimulator.
2:34 am
grannyrose

hey Matty. cold but sunny....
2:34 am
grannyrose

and because my brain sees sunshine it says time to spring clean. and i KNOW winter has only just started.
2:35 am
mattygroves

In May we had fabulous weather but alas, no more. It's overcast and coolish
2:36 am
sprite

oh wow rose, you are my hero. Well done on that decision. I know that wasn't easy.
2:36 am
grannyrose

so now our bed has been cleaned from top to bottom, from under to over. if it was washable it has been washed... i have also cleaned up two HUGE piles of papers which have been two years in the making.
2:36 am
sprite

tell your brain to shut the beep up. No cleaning. Take care and don't overdo things
2:36 am
grannyrose

and with Don's help, have started re-organising kitchen cupboards.
2:37 am
sprite

is he behaving? :)
2:37 am
grannyrose

just maybe, sprite, my brain knows when i have the procedure done i will be out of action for some time.
2:38 am
sprite

too bad, matty :( Weather is up and down here as well
2:38 am
sprite

as long as you are careful with yourself, rose
2:39 am
grannyrose

strange you should ask that, sprite. yes he is. has come all over sweetness and light.maybe him hearing me telling my gp that the level of analgesia i am on only keeps me pain free if i am sitting quietly. as soon as i stand the pain starts.
2:40 am
sprite

very good, that is as it should be. With Don, I mean, definitely not with your pain levels.
2:40 am
grannyrose

i worked it out, about 20 feet of walking and that's when my knees start to buckle because of the pain.
2:41 am
sprite

*hugs rose and sends her healing vibes*
2:42 am
grannyrose

thank-you honey. but my troubles are so small to others. i see you had a relapse. please be careful of you. you are my only bestie and i need you around for a while yet.
2:43 am
sprite

no worries, rose, those relapses are not at all dangerous. I am way past the danger zone, all that is left is recovering. Rebuilding condition, retraining muscles. Slow and frustrating but definitely not something to worry about!
2:44 am
sprite

ouch, 20 ft, that is not much.
2:46 am
grannyrose

i still haven't really come out of isolation yet. Don does all the shopping stuff. i am only venturing out for appointments. oh, and that reminds me... our local hot water pool has reopened. i must ring and book myself some time there. they are only allowing a few people in at a time.
2:47 am
sprite

very good, rose. You should be extra careful, you can definitely not afford to catch anything on top of your burden. The pool sounds good, nice for your muscles :D
2:49 am
grannyrose

you are able to get out and enjoy a little bit of sunshine aren't you? i know you react badly to direct sunlight but surely the warm air would be beneficial for you.
2:50 am
sprite

we bought ourselves a parasol. Yes I am going out with terra daily, and I try to sit outside whenever the weather allows. Crazy low on energy though, so it is hard to get myself moving.
2:51 am
grannyrose

oh and did i tell you about my friend up in QLD? the one who had breast cancer surgery and ended up with a huge gaping wound post-op.
2:51 am
sprite

no? Omg poor lady :(
2:52 am
grannyrose

i went up there and stayed with her just as covid-19 broke out. apparently my wound care regimen and training her daughter how to continue on, has paid off.
2:54 am
grannyrose

we came home beginning of April. at her last appointment at out patients clinic her wound had completely healed. the surgeons were gob-smacked. they honestly thought she was going to have to have skin grafts.
2:57 am
grannyrose

the nurses at the clinic were tututting and tskking about my unorthodox regimen. Sue and i kept getting the giggles about them. those nurses were so unable to think laterally.
2:58 am
sprite

oh wow rose, well done! Your friend is lucky to have you.
3:01 am
grannyrose

i have to admit to feeling some pride in that i was able to save Sue the angst of skin grafts. not huge blow myself up with pride. just quietly satisfied with my work.
3:01 am
sprite

honey, I have to go and lie down. *hugs* and I am so glad we got to connect at last. *hugs* to you both.
And *hugs* to Kam and matty too. Poof!

8:20 am
rururocks

couldn't a chicken comedian be a yolkster?
8:20 am
MollyL

And he posted it in the chat because it was in the grid. He just posted in the wrong box. It wasn't like he was actually saying the word. Although, big whoop if he did.

TO, your question reminds me of a joke. A doctor and a lawyer were attending a cocktail party. The doctor said to the lawyer, "Can I ask you advice about something? I'm always being asked by people for medical advice, and I try to give them a good medical opinion, but I wonder, am I being taken advantage of? Should I send them a bill for my services?" "Absolutely," the lawyer replied. The doctor was happy with that answer, till a few days later when he received a bill from the lawyer for his advice!

They aren't required everywhere here. Social distancing is, and in some places, masks. But then again, it's as hot as the sun here too. Heat index of 100+
6:05 pm

If the problem is with glasses fogging, here's a trick I learned years ago in Hong Kong--take a piece of twist-tie and thread it through the part of the mask above your nose, It stiffens the area so that you can pinch it to conform with the bridge of your nose. I gave up wearing glasses in HK until I learned this trick!

What do you do in Hong Kong, jan?

In Hong Kong? Why is that safer?
6:12 pm
MollyL

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Hong Kong doesn't seem very safe to me. On many levels.
6:19 pm
jan

Virus-wise, Hong Kong has had almost complete success in squelching it. When they got their first cases over the border with China, they immediately began testing, isolating confirmed cases, and recommending social distancing and masks. And in Hong Kong, everyone wears masks because they got used to it in the SARS epidemic some years back. My HK friends can't understand why Americans don't wnat to wear masks--they think we must be crazy. They cut the cases down to zero, and later in February had another spate of cases when HK residents returned from abroad with the virus. But again, that outbreak got squelched fast. All told, they have had a total of 4 deaths.
6:23 pm
jan


Now, if you're talking about the political situation there, that's an entirely different thing! HK is reasonably safe for me, but my colleagues there are all scared about the loss of freedom of speech and communication. Rightly so. The Beijing-backed givernment there is pushing the line that the demonstrators there are terrorists and must be punished. And a lot of people are concerned that universities will be targeted for police repression there. Again, they are almost certainly right. It is heart-breaking to me, since I have been back and forth to Asia for twenty years now, and think of places like Hong Kong as almost a second home.

Back to finish. The orange loaf is a basic flour-cornmeal quick bread flavored with the zest of an orange. It was one of the first pandemic-recipes the New York Times published in early March--and one of the best, I think. The idea was to provide recipes you could make with stuff you probably already had in your fridge and pantry. Later on, they made them subscription only, which spoiled it for me, since I already pay for the basic NYT subscription, and I didn't feel like paying more for the recipe subscription. Though, if you Google the paywalled recipes, you can often find a blogger who has copied the paywalled recipe to their blog...
10:41 pm

I made two of the orange loaves--one for us for after-dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow, and one for our neighbor across the street whose husband got sick with COVID--he's a doctor from Nigeria working for a year at Seattle's largest hospital, so it wasn't too surprising that he got ill. He's supposed to get out of the hospital sometime this week, so I've been sending little food parcels over to his wife in the meantime.
