11:29 am

hokie carla

we are still all virtual but I think they are heading to hybrid plan soon

11:29 am

hurshy

i think the trouble is, from a governor's perspective, as long as you have sufficient hospital capacity for the rate of cases, which we do, then you are good to go. but from an individual perspective, you don't want to be one of those cases, or a family member to be one of those cases.

11:29 am

hokie carla

4:41 pm

moolingwa

4:42 pm

Soodle

Wondering to self how many other people in this wonderful world of ours were surprised by a diagnosis of ca7/30 rather than finding it in an online word game

4:42 pm

moolingwa

I'm not sure I've ever wondered that :)

4:44 pm

Soodle

My head is melted Moo. I seek diversions whereI can find them.

4:44 pm

you can have a cellist, a violinist, a pianist...even a trombonist...but you can't have a gongist

4:45 pm

moolingwa

my mind melted a long time ago

4:46 pm

Soodle

Gong players matter

4:46 pm

moolingwa

if you were looking after someone's floor covering, wouldn't you rugsit?

4:46 pm

moolingwa

gongists are somewhat underappreciated IMO

4:46 pm

Soodle

Rug minders matter

4:47 pm

moolingwa
