8:48 am

MollyL

My word of the day (not in the grid) is pangram. A sentence that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet. Like...
“Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.”

8:48 am

Sugrraleona

omg I got the darn es6 - geeesh LMAO i was going in the wrong direction the whole time

8:49 am

MLFAN17

8:50 am

Deeha

love that Molly. The only ome I've ever heard before is the old quick brown fox

8:50 am

HarryHood

mlf - noun with same beginning as es6

8:50 am

MollyL

No z in the old quick brown fox

8:51 am

HarryHood

jumped over the lazy dog

8:51 am

MollyL

You have to add jumps over the lazy dog

8:52 am

MollyL

Pardon Harry and I, we are sharing a brain today

8:52 am

HarryHood

that's good - I normally only have half of one.

8:52 am

MollyL

Well so do I so we aren't sharing much
: D

8:53 am

MLFAN17

im not getting it...

8:54 am

HarryHood

add tr5/10

8:54 am

rururocks

don't forget the one too

8:55 am

MollyL

There. We have spelled the whole thing out.

8:55 am

HarryHood

the one too?

8:56 am

MLFAN17

ot if you dont have the right tr 5

8:56 am

MollyL

I'm not sure that people realize that when they say add the tr5 they have given four of the seven letters

8:57 am

rururocks

i like to give the rest of them at that point

8:57 am

HarryHood

ah - that's true mlf. you need to use the second tr5/10 (well in my list)

8:57 am

MollyL

Yes, even if you don't have the right tr5.

8:57 am

MollyL

MollyL

Ru likes to keep people on their toes, Harry

9:06 am

HarryHood

the cockney's would just say 'atric

9:06 am

HarryHood

sorry no apostrophe in cockneys

9:07 am

cybernan

still don't know how you all got from hat trick to hatric

9:07 am

HarryHood

they're homophones. or homonyms. or something like that.

9:07 am

MollyL

I know a hat trick, but it has nothing to do with hockey
: D

9:08 am

MollyL

They sound alike, for the commoners

9:08 am

cybernan

a hat trick in hockey is scoring 3 goals in one game

9:08 am

HarryHood

my humor falls flat sometimes. I tried to tell the "I'm a wigwam, I'm a tepee" joke to my family, and it was not a success

9:09 am

cybernan

* 3 goals made by the same player

9:12 am

HarryHood

46 to go. gotta get some food. bbl!

9:17 am

MollyL

Sadly, there are some people who just don't get the too tense thing. (two tents)

10:17 am

hokie carla

howdy moo

10:17 am

hokie carla

happy friday to you too

10:18 am

moolingwa

They really should get better an online ordering at IKEA

10:18 am

hokie carla

54 left after my late night babbling

10:18 am

moolingwa

their business model really lends itself

10:18 am

hokie carla

it's horrible, but they're also out of everything right now

10:18 am

moolingwa

103 left here after about 5 minutes of babbling :)

10:20 am

hokie carla

some items say out of stock but available for delivery in some locations, but you have to add to the cart to see whether they deliver to you and then they don't. what he wanted was actually in stock but not available for buying online and picking up.

10:20 am

moolingwa

annoying

10:20 am

MLFAN17

10:22 am

JaxH66

My local IKEA often has queues that look really long, but they move really quickly, so it's not as bad as it seems and as I'm only 5 minutes away we tend to go later on in the evening. We can check if things are in stock in a particular store and where it is as well

10:25 am

hokie carla

yeah, only about 15 min from me so I usually go during the week. I wish they had a better system of online checking besides having to add something to your cart.

10:25 am

moolingwa

It's about 75 minutes from me, but fortunately I have no need for furniture right now

10:26 am

cybernan

hello again :)

10:27 am

moolingwa

hey nan, happy friday

10:27 am

cybernan

hi mool

10:27 am

JaxH66

In the uk, you don't need to add it to your cart, it says on the item description page if it's in stock at a particular store or not. You can pick the store. Don't know if the us site is the same. Think it's only been updated fairly recently here

10:28 am

MLFAN17

i have the ea4/4 that is a directional is the other 4 that is before or after it something i might know?

10:28 am

hokie carla

I was telling my son people drive from far away to go to it. I ran into someone I went to high school with and that is like 4 hrs away.

10:31 am

cybernan

10:32 am

moolingwa

10:32 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

hokie carla

10:34 am

MLFAN17

aythign longer then a half hour is crazy to go anywhere to shop

10:34 am

cybernan

mlf -- you might be disappointed -- not everything looks as good in reality as it does in a photo

10:34 am

MollyL

That is so true Nan

10:35 am

MLFAN17

cybre yeah i know

10:35 am

hokie carla

I've definitely driven farther than 30 min for shopping

10:36 am

MLFAN17

i think the ikea is about an hour from me so unless hubby and i would be staying in an area for reasons other then one store i wouldnt do it

10:36 am

MLFAN17

hokie the IKEA is in Charlotte right/

10:37 am

hokie carla

yes, university area, which is north Charlotte, so closer to you.

10:37 am

MLFAN17

true

10:37 am

hurshy

my ex and i used to use IKEA as a cheap date. the food is inexpensive and one can enjoy a simple wander through the store

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

armtoner. it should not only be a word, it should be a device.

10:38 am

hokie carla

I love wandering through the store. wonder when I'll feel comfortable doing that again?

10:38 am

MollyL

I would not be impressed by a date at Ikea

10:38 am

moolingwa

perhaps that's why he's now an ex ;)

10:39 am

MLFAN17

owl, are those headphones on that owl or some kind of weird device?lol

10:39 am

hurshy

no, that's not why he's now an ex

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

headphones

10:39 am

moolingwa

10:40 am

MLFAN17

hurshy

phantom: strict

10:41 am

MLFAN17

hokie i went to the grocery store recently for the first time with hubby. No protocol other then masks and no directional

10:41 am

JaxH66

Meatballs and fries are a great midweek lunch, particularly to escape the house when my hubby felt well enough while he was on chemo. No pressure and easy to get to

10:41 am

MLFAN17

congrats hokie

10:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, it's very hit or miss on grocery stores here

10:41 am

hokie carla

phantom: alarm

10:42 am

MLFAN17

jax hubby and i eat frozen italian meatballs all the time great with white rice and gravy

10:42 am

MollyL

I love having groceries delivered. It is such a treat not to have to go to the store.

10:43 am

MollyL

I can't deal with frozen meatballs. I make my own.

10:43 am

hurshy

here's a very obscure one...

10:43 am

hurshy

NTPN: Eleventh Doctor's Sontaran companion

10:43 am

hokie carla

I do online occasionally at harris teeter and they just put them in my trunk. I did that pre CV

10:43 am

JaxH66

I make all sorts of meatballs and freeze them as a standby, but it was good to get out of the 4 walls for a little bit

10:43 am

hokie carla

10:44 am

hurshy

10:44 am

10:46 am

JaxH66

10:56 am

moolingwa

10:56 am

hokie carla

that's so deep

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

that would be cool

10:56 am

moolingwa

or maybe phantom menace...for our star wars fans

10:56 am

cybernan

ty mool

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

there are two 7s of one who weds?

10:57 am

10:58 am

hokie carla

ah, good one, moo

10:58 am

moolingwa

:)

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

10:58 am

hokie carla

10:59 am

hurshy

phantom: atlas

10:59 am

moolingwa

the first one converts the second one :)

10:59 am

hokie carla

I tried atlas earlier just in case

10:59 am

hurshy

very wise, hokie

10:59 am

cybernan

deathly sugar went right over my head

11:00 am

moolingwa

think about dying tissue then I guess

11:00 am

hokie carla

think about the word for an animal autopsy or a person that can supposedly raise the dead, nan, then end like the ma sugar word

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh our governor is at is again.

11:01 am

cybernan

ty carla and mool

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

he is sugeesting that all youth and interscholastic sports be postponed until januray 1

11:02 am

hokie carla

ours keeps getting pushed back. I hope they play the fall sports in the spring at least so my son can have a senior season.

11:02 am

cybernan

and that is bad? -- I would have thought that would be good news

11:03 am

hokie carla

still 8 4's left, moo! 37 total

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

jan i is an arbitrary date thrown around for everything

11:03 am

cybernan

sorry - I just don't understand how playing any game or sport is worth even a single life

11:03 am

moolingwa

one 4....15 left

11:03 am

hurshy

well it's not like one can know when it will be safe, arbitrary is all one can do

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

whatever

11:03 am

hurshy

and then adjust later as needed

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

30 left for later

11:04 am

hokie carla

well technically anyone could die playing a game or sport

11:04 am

moolingwa

more likely to die in the bathroom

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

lunchtime!

11:05 am

hokie carla

regardless of CV, so is it ever worth a single life in that case, nan?

11:05 am

hurshy

phantom: roster

11:05 am

moolingwa

or taking a selfie for that matter

11:05 am

hokie carla

true

11:06 am

more likely to die from COVID than any of those though :)

11:06 am

hokie carla

hopefully not taking a selfie in the bathroom, though moo

11:06 am

hurshy

well hokie, i know i've been feeling more and more guilty about watching american football over the years as info comes out about TBI

11:06 am

cybernan

true carla -- but with covid around I don't think it is a risk worth taking -- there are games that don't require physical contact -- why take the risk -- and it's not just about not dying from the disease -- it's all the after effects that survivors are suffering.

11:07 am

hokie carla

hurshy, I feel the same about boxing

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

only if you are older or have underlying medical conditions. death rate has been steady as a percent

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

in usa

11:07 am

hurshy

ah, well, i never did like boxing

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

per my friends working at johns hopkins

11:07 am

moolingwa

yes, but young people contracting the disease can introduce it to those others

11:08 am

hokie carla

my parents got exposed 2x last week by the home health agency

11:08 am

moolingwa

The issue is not as much whether you're putting yourself at risk, but who else you're putting at risk as a result of your actions

11:08 am

cybernan

and even young people who have survived the disease have life altering after effects.

11:08 am

hurshy

:O

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

the only way to avoid all risk is to stay in your home alone.

11:09 am

cybernan

that's terrible, carla -- hope they will be OK

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

carla, sorry. i was exposed, depending on timing and duration, not a sure thing to catch

11:10 am

cybernan

that is ot the only way, TO -- avoid crowds, social distance and wear a mask when outside your bubble

11:11 am

hokie carla

thx, nan. someone called my mom on M and said the nurse that was there on Fri tested positive. then M or T someone dropped off a packet for them with thermometers, masks' etc, and apparently that lady tested positive.

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

the germans have done many vettted studies on transmission modes.

11:11 am

hurshy

double, double, toil and trouble
wear a mask outside your bubble

11:11 am

cybernan

i hope you self-isolated for 14 days after exposure, TO

11:11 am

NTPN - french car

11:12 am

as opposed to the aholes who returned from italy and immediately came to a concert and exposed us all.

11:12 am

11:12 am

hokie carla

my mom had to call 911 the other day because my dad turned the recliner over and was in the floor. she said they came in all suited up, but she had told the dispatcher they were exposed.

11:13 am

hokie carla

ding ding, pen is the winner!

11:13 am

Okay, will come back for the remaining 13 some time later

11:13 am

enjoy your day peoples

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

it's nuts. i had a rash and the dr would not see me. now everything is a symptom.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

bye, moo

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i had had a tick bite.

11:14 am

cybernan

do you not have virtual conferences with your doctor?

11:15 am

hokie carla

bye moo

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

nan. thank you for your concern

11:16 am

cybernan

I had to go to my doc the other day to have an ear checked for infection -- the clinic was on lock down.

11:16 am

hokie carla

the youngest had swimmers ear and had to be diagnosed via phone call. they wouldn't see him because his temp with an ear therm. in that ear was like 100.4

11:17 am

MollyL

How do they lock down a clinic? Do people have to stay there and not go home?

11:18 am

cybernan

I had to wait outside until my doctor was ready for me, wear a mask and use hand sanitiser before going through the inner door, was escorted to my doctor's office and taken directly to the examination room. If these are the precautions taken by the professionals, I think we really need to pay attention to how serious this disease is and how difficult it is to control or contain.

11:19 am

MollyL

Oh, that is how all the doctor's offices are around here now.

11:20 am

hokie carla

same.dentist too. mr. homie had to go the other day for horrible poison ivy and he said there's someone outside the door taking temps.

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

ditto. for dentist, must wait in car until they phone you. the derm saw me in person. they only took the usual survey re symptoms.

11:21 am

MollyL

My sister had to have a medication port removed. She had to get tested, test negative and then quarantine for 14 days before.

11:21 am

hokie carla

and no he didn't go to dentist for poison ivy, it was dr. that was worded weird.

11:21 am

MollyL

I have to say, I don't miss the whole waiting room experience.

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

o.0

11:22 am

cybernan

on my way -- hagd everyone and stay safe :)

11:23 am

rbud

had to stand outside in line at the local DMV for almost an hour yesterday to title and plate my new (to me) van. Masks required, + 6 ft - but no temp taking.

11:23 am

rbud

but at least they are open now.

11:25 am

hurshy

la7 rhymes with small rodent that begins with H

11:28 am

rbud

was in line behind a fellow with a "trump 2020" mask on, couldn't believe he bothered to acquire it. exchanged civilities nonetheless.

11:30 am

clg47

I had a dental appointment yesterday. Wait in car until 5 minutes before appointment, wear mask, hand sanitizer is mounted by door to use before entering lobby. When you enter lobby temp is taken. Glad they were taking care of themselves and me. Also husband had a blood draw - call and wait in parking lot until number is safer to enter lobby (they let you know) - it was a quick appointment. No magazines in waiting rooms.

11:30 am

rbud

aha, found the la7 now, ty, hursh.

11:31 am

rbud

only 3 7's to go. 36 total words left. Just started listing, finally.

11:32 am

rbud

they let me go up with our daughter to her neurology apptmt the other day, I was surprised. She's 32 and didn't need me along. Temps and masks, of course.

11:33 am

rbud

was expecting to be told no, and to wait in car.

11:34 am

rbud

she has MS, and it *is* nice to have someone to help her through doors with her walker and such.

11:34 am

rbud

but not essential.

11:46 am

rbud

my "new" pulmonologist, who I've had for a year or more, and never actually seen in person, changed my in-person apptmt to a phone consultation last week. I HAD seen his PA a couple of times, before all this, but still not him. so odd to have a dr. you've never seen, for something so important, lol.

11:47 am

rbud

and now I'm done monopolizing the chat, thanks, folks.

11:47 am

Wendrie

Glad that you were able to go in with your dd.

11:48 am

mcurlschool

I kind of llike the virtual appt. Mister and I are on vacation, he developed an issue. Called Dr office and did a "tele-med" appt and got medicine. Much better than going to an urgent care or emergency room

11:49 am

Wendrie

They're doing that here too. I wonder how many of these on-line consultations etc. will continue after quarantine eases.

11:55 am

rbud

I was actually relieved at having it turn into a phone apptmt, yes - did not really want to drive over an hour into a city for it, in my questionable car. (thus the DMV for another vehicle this week, haha.)

11:56 am

rbud

I would not be so concerened about a car, but daughter has many, many appointments and tests I have to take her to.

11:56 am

rbud

*concerned (of course)
