8:35 am

MollyL

Why, what happened to him?

8:36 am

hokie carla

I don't know, he's not here

8:37 am

MLFAN17

he usually comes in the afternoon doesnt he?

8:37 am

hokie carla

yes, but he has disappeared

8:38 am

MLFAN17

oh?

8:38 am

hokie carla

so I have to keep up the usual "jokes"

8:38 am

NANCY

along with Haz who has been a long timer.

8:39 am

MollyL

Well, it is summer and people do go on vacation. And some people don't play word games when they are on vacation.

8:39 am

hokie carla

yeah, I saw you asking about Haz maybe yesterday. Haven't seen her for a while.

8:40 am

NANCY

Haz has not been seen for over a month and noone seems to know her status.

8:40 am

MollyL

Have you asked about her on Facebook?

8:41 am

hokie carla

what is the FB group again? I have a secret account now for sewing groups.

8:42 am

MollyL

Secret Sewers? Don't know about Facebook. I am not a Facebook person.

8:42 am

MLFAN17

i would check her fb page maybe she posted pics?

8:42 am

hokie carla

not secret sewers, secret me

8:43 am

hokie carla

I quit FB because of all the horribleness, but then I realized I missed the sewing groups for help with certain patterns, sewalongs, etc.

8:45 am

MollyL

I know 5 people who have quit Facebook in the last six months citing the same reasons.

8:46 am

MollyL

Also that they are tired of all the LOOK AT WHAT I DID stuff.

8:46 am

hokie carla

I quit before the pandemic, so it's been a while

8:46 am

hokie carla

yes, that's why I don't have any friends on there

8:46 am

joym999

Hi all. Are secret sewers hidden underground parts of the city or are they people who quilt without telling anyone?

8:46 am

hokie carla

probably both

8:46 am

I kept my account but only look every once in awhile when I need to see what family is doing

8:48 am

BzznBea

That's the same with me, cheryll.

8:48 am

hokie carla

I don't need that, my mom tells me everything, sometimes several times.

8:49 am

BzznBea

I unfollowed a lot of friends during the election and pandemic.

8:49 am

MollyL

Now I'm thinking about The Underground Quiltroad

8:49 am

cherlyq

we are mostly spread between two states texas and Minnesota

8:49 am

BzznBea

However, I really do like my Aldi AOS group and my Instant Pot Community.

8:50 am

8:57 am

BzznBea

My 74 year old husband is currently reroofing the second story. We still have some of the ballisters to finish on the front porch. Then we will work on the spandrils on the upper part of the porch.

8:58 am

hurshy

8:58 am

hokie carla

8:59 am

BzznBea

That should about finsih up except for patching the bullet hole that came through the wall over the weekend.

8:59 am

joym999

Do you live there, or will you? I saw the pictures of the porch and I was impressed.

8:59 am

BzznBea

I need to log into a zoom meeting...brb

hurshy

hokie carla

9:49 am

MLFAN17

9:49 am

cybernan

hy 6 is what is torn when you lose your virginity

9:49 am

hokie carla

9:50 am

MLFAN17

9:50 am

cybernan

oh - so it is

9:51 am

cybernan

9:51 am

hokie carla

ok, tons of clues

9:51 am

MLFAN17

9:51 am

rururocks

having never met a virgin I wouldn't know

9:52 am

hokie carla

I am out of clues, so

9:52 am

MollyL

*cough* bullshit*cough

9:52 am

cybernan

and I'm out of ideas

9:52 am

MLFAN17

female thing right?

9:53 am

cybernan

oh -- just found it -- the underwear clue did it

9:53 am

rururocks

it's true Molls.. all my women have been older than me

9:53 am

rururocks

oops except one

9:53 am

cherlyq

hy 6 is an alternate spelling of a legal turn hu6

9:54 am

hokie carla

now you know, nan, that 2nd syl. is the jewish circumcision rite. I believe I learned that on Seinfeld.

9:54 am

rururocks

that was a one time thing though

9:56 am

rururocks

and too much tequilla

9:56 am

MollyL

It amuses me that the myth of the hy5 is still believed

9:57 am

cybernan

well not jewish, so wouldn't know and the one time we lived in a neighbourhood where there were a lot of jewish people, none of them would have anything to do with us.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

the jewish clue got it for me

9:58 am

hokie carla

yes, I know, that's why I was telling you to take note

9:58 am

rururocks

nan.. please just look up jewish circumcision

9:58 am

MLFAN17

cyber the jewish clue is the last part of it i googled the word that is how i got the word

9:59 am

cybernan

I found the word and I understand that the last part of the word must be yiddish for circumcision -- but there is nothing in my background that would allow me to know that

9:59 am

cybernan

it's like me telling you that something ends in a swedish word

9:59 am

hokie carla

I'm also not jewish and have never lived in a jewish neighborhood, with or without friendly neighbors, but I take note of things

10:00 am

rururocks

it's pretty common knowledge nan

10:00 am

MLFAN17

thats why you look it up

10:00 am

cybernan

you can't take note of something you are not exposed to, carla

10:01 am

hokie carla

I know! I was pointing it out to you as an exposure today to take note of.

10:01 am

rururocks

*notes all the redecorating Nan has done in her cave* :D

10:01 am

hokie carla

that's what my 9:54 post was all about

10:02 am

cybernan

enough!!!! Those 8 years were the worst in my life, made so by our isolationist neighbours. They probably didn't represent all of Jewish society but it didn't not leave me with a very good feeling about Jewish people.

10:02 am

hokie carla

and I am not trying to be rude

10:03 am

origami

I'm grateful for any clue that I receive, even if I don't get them.

10:03 am

hokie carla

I'm sorry you went through that. I was just explaining the clue to you in case it was used in the future.

10:03 am

rururocks

was that in the 50'

10:03 am

rururocks

was that in the 50's or 60's nan?

10:04 am

cybernan

in the 70's

10:04 am

rururocks

oh.. so not really war related

10:05 am

rururocks

I've always found the Jewish people to be warm, funny, and kind

10:07 am

rururocks

I even married one :D

10:08 am

cybernan

A couple of the women in the neighbourhood would say hi if I was outside when they walked by. One of them felt it was OK for her dog to poop on my lawn but not one of them would accept an invitgation to coffee at my house or invite me over to their home. And the only time any of the men spoke to my husband was when he wanted to borrow a power tool when he was building something for the temple.

10:09 am

rururocks

was it a hasidic jewish community? that might explain it

10:09 am

cybernan

* invitation

10:10 am

cybernan

no but it was orthodox

10:11 am

rururocks

well.. maybe that had something to do with it. my closest friends are jewish and they're wonderful people

10:13 am

rururocks

gotta go to work. bbl.. have a better day everyone

10:13 am

MollyL

I was raised Catholic but I know a lot about other religions through the news, books and movies.

10:13 am

cybernan

as I said, maybe this partciular group was not representative, but it is hard to erase feelings formed by 8 years of the cold shoulder and watching you kids be shunned.

10:13 am

origami

Sorry that happened to you, nan.

10:14 am

MollyL

That was not a very nice experience for you and your kids Nan. But it's not because the people were Jewish. They were just assholes. And assholes come in all shapes, sizes and religions.

10:15 am

origami

My batsh*t crazy new dog is actually sitting quietly on the loveseat in the other room rather than running through the house creating havoc.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

we lived near an orthodox synagogue. Most of our neighbors, including the cantor, lived on the block because they had to walk there on sabbath. our neighbors were wonderful. as a kid i was in their homes plahying with their children.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

but again, all people were different back when we were young. more neighborly.

10:16 am

MollyL

Isn't that the truth. People are not nearly as neighborly now as they were when I was a kid.

10:24 am

cherlyq

I guess I am lucky I live on a habitat for humanity block so I know most of my neighbors

10:25 am

cherlyq

there are some college people that move in and out of one of the houses though, never get to meet most of those though

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

since the advent of electronic communication, it seems there is less and less reason to reach out to others in real life.

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

lockdowns has made it worse

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

just my observations

10:26 am

cherlyq

I think that is spot on temple owl

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

lol old people talk!

10:28 am

cybernan

did any of you see the translation of Macron's speech regarding retrictions for covid in France. I think we should all be asking our governments if we deserve anything less!

10:29 am

Zadit

i've been babbling for a few years. Don't chat much but read the chat regularly. As a Jew, I have experienced a bit of what you have Nan from the orthodox. I have actually been told I'm not "Jewish enough." Most modern Jews look at the orthodox as almost a seperate religion, respected, but very distant from what we practice. Please don't let that small representation color your view of us.

10:30 am

cybernan

Thanks Zadit. I try not to.

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

there seems to be so much self segregation now

10:31 am

hokie carla

webman - almost what spiderman was called

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

is france locked down again? i've been mulling a trip with a group for early october

10:33 am

MLFAN17

hello again

10:33 am

MollyL

No but I read about the French protesting the enforcements for "health passes" for travel and access to other things like movies.

10:33 am

cybernan

no -- with the new restrictions the only people who will be locked down, or I should say out, are those who refuse to be vaccinated. I will put the speech in my profile -- very interesting and I would like to see that happen here.

10:34 am

MLFAN17

i just found 3 se 6's

10:34 am

cherlyq

so while I get that here in Texas this stupid virus walking through the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i know...keep hearing breakthrough infections are rare but then reported daily.

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

attempt perhaps to scare others into getting the vaccine.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

but i know those who say see, it makes no difference, i'll tkae my chances.

10:37 am

MLFAN17

its supposedly a small percent of people getting the variant according to our area but you can still get it and /or the original even if you got both shots

10:37 am

cybernan

posted the speech in my profile -- a good example of a man who refuses to bow to political machinations of big business and malcontents.

10:37 am

origami

The fact that there were 136K new cases in the US yesterday should be scary enough.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

locally, lots of stories including the pharmacist who single handedly vaccinated thousands.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

hey ori how are you

10:38 am

MLFAN17

i heard that many thousands of cases came up in florida in one day

10:38 am

origami

I'm doing fine, TO. How are you?

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

well, i see parents parading their kids around maskless indoors, can't argue with what i consider stupid

but it's really nit righ to judge, i guess, it's every person for his and her self now. i am considering quitting the food bank because the team leader is a no vaxxer as are here teenagers

10:40 am

MLFAN17

they should be wearing masks indoors

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

no mandate. and even if there were, no enforacement

10:41 am

MLFAN17

yeah the south carolina governer is leaving it up to the people who live there to decide if they wear a mask or not

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

oh well, this subject is sure to start some kind of kerfuffle....it's musikfest time! begins friday

10:42 am

MLFAN17

walmart nationwide requires everyone to wear a mask

10:42 am

cybernan

they should also all be getting vaccinated -- it is the only way this virus will be defeated. Do they not realize how selfish they are being?

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

fan: not here

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

there are some people who cannot., nan for nedcal or religious reasons.

10:43 am

MollyL

We have been mask free in stores and most public places for months. The only places masks are still required are health care facilities, schools and public transportation

10:43 am

MLFAN17

if that were the case then why do we all still need to wear masks besides following cdc and we still need to stay x amount of feet apart

10:43 am

mab

9,717 hospitalized in Florida...

10:43 am

cherlyq

my neighbor and my son's ex brother in law both have had full injections and gotten it

10:43 am

gingentle

I find it profoundly sad that so many people are so unintelligent and gullible these days. to proudly deny science and common sense is ridiculous! When did stupidity become something to aspire to???

10:43 am

MLFAN17

owl oh? that is what our news said

10:44 am

cybernan

our politicians on both sides of the border are too busy worrying about the next election to really clamp down and protect the people's health. If you haven't looked at Macron's speech in my profile, please do so -- this is what we need to demand of our governments

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

so when presented with that information, i can see why some people say why bother?

10:44 am

MLFAN17

mab i heard thousands of people in fl got it in one day

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

okay peeps, time to do some work, need everything in order to go /Fest this weekand.

10:45 am

MLFAN17

owl sad but true

10:45 am

mab

Probably someone here has already said - vaccinated people can be infected, but they have few if any symptoms. Also, it's very rare for them to pick up the virus.

10:45 am

gingentle

mota

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

numbers are just that without looking at the whole picture of data.

10:46 am

MollyL

If vaccinated people are getting sick, it will deter people from getting vaccinated.

10:46 am

MLFAN17

mab but you still can thats the point

10:46 am

MLFAN17

molly which is probably what has been happening but some have said they want more data

10:47 am

cherlyq

most of the vaccinated that are getting sick have other health issues both of the ones I know about have asthma for example

10:47 am

mab

yes, the 7000 number was just for yesterday.

10:47 am

cybernan

the point, Molly, is that they are not getting as sick, not getting debilitating side effects and not spreading the virus as readily

10:47 am

MLFAN17

cher correct

10:48 am

cherlyq

that is why I am on self lock down though I do not want to take any chances with my health issues

10:50 am

cybernan

I am too Cherly -- husband in chemotherapy, so being super cautious.

10:51 am

cherlyq

Luckily I have been working from home a long time before this hit, and have access to have groceries and stuff delivered

10:52 am

MollyL

The longer a virus circulates among unvaccinated people, the more opportunities it has to mutate. And if the mutations are significant, they can lead to more problematic variants -- including some that could partially or fully escape vaccine protection.
~ Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia and a member of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee.

10:53 am

cybernan

and right there is the case for mandatory vaccination

10:53 am

cherlyq

yeah and politicians and famous people that give out false info do not help

10:54 am

MollyL

I try to quote the experts Nan. It's people throwing out their personal opinions that leads to the spreading of mis-information.

10:55 am

cherlyq

That is so important Molly cause some folks will believe anything

10:56 am

MollyL

From what I have heard, Facebook is a hotbed of people saying things that are not true. Like the vaccinations cause fertility problems.

10:57 am

cybernan

some things should be obvious though -- all peoplle have to do is see what is happening and realize that everyone has a duty to help put a stop to this pandemic by getting vaccinated.

10:57 am

cherlyq

my problem is when the experts are always changing course what are you supposed to believe

11:00 am

MollyL

Nan are you aware that some people do not get vaccinated for religious reasons?

11:00 am

cybernan

the experts are continually experiencing a learning curve as this disease progresses. You have to admit hat as things have progressed, they have been trying their best to get the info out and recommend precautionary procedures. Never before has a vaccination for a disease of this magnitude been produced so quickly. The problem is the selfish stubborn idiots that don't listen

11:02 am

mab

selfish is the perfect word

11:02 am

cybernan

yes molly - so they say - blame the preachers. I think it is all about control on their part.

11:02 am

MollyL

"Never before has a vaccination for a disease of this magnitude been produced so quickly. " And that is why some people are afraid of it.

11:03 am

cybernan

NO need for fear when it has been proven effecgtive.

11:04 am

MollyL

It has not been proven that there are no long term side effects. And it is still only approved on an emergency level.

11:05 am

cybernan

as has been proven in France, If you don't want to get vaccinated then you stay home in isolation, not the people who are vaccinated.

11:05 am

mab

To some extent it seems incumbent on people to watch legitimate news and decide for themselves how much risk their willing to take. delta could be seen coming weeks and weeks ago.

11:05 am

cybernan

I call crap molly. Would you really rather get sick?

11:06 am

MollyL

I'm not talking about me Nan. I have been vaccinated. I am talking about the people who have not and what reasons they may have.

11:07 am

MollyL

See, this is where discussions go wrong. People get so get up about how RIGHT they are, they lose track of the conversation.

11:07 am

mab

There's an strong correlation between one's politics and who will take the vaccine and who will not. In the US.

11:09 am

cybernan

The only acceptible reason for not getting vaccinated is medical as determined by a team of specialists. That has to be pretty rare. Cancer patients are being told to be vaccinated. My granddaughter who has a rare autoimmune disease has been vaccinated. Both shots had to be worked in between her treatments, but it was done. She has had no side effects and is a lot safer than she was before.

11:09 am

MollyL

Yes, there are people choosing based on the politics they follow. There are also people choosing based on the religion they belong to. And hey, some people just make up their own minds based on personal beliefs.

11:10 am

cybernan

so let the no-vaccination crowd be isolated, not us

11:11 am

MollyL

I will be interested to see how France enforces that, how much it costs them to enforce it, and how long the enforcement lasts.

11:13 am

cherlyq

So my friend ( my god sons Mom) was fully vaccinated, my god son had not wanted to get vaccinated she got covid and gave it to him he has it much worse it can happen like that

11:13 am

cybernan

they have to carry proof of vaccination with them Molly - just like a passport. I think they also are developing some kind of app for their phones that will be issued only after one is fully vaccinated.

11:14 am

MollyL

Thank you cheryl. There are no absolutes. I hope your god son gets well.

11:14 am

cherlyq

My God daughter ( also not vaccinated) did not get it even though they were all in the same home ( she did have the flu though)

11:15 am

cybernan

did the goddaughter get tested -- symptoms can be the same as the flu

11:15 am

cherlyq

Thanks Molly, its bad he has asthma and lost his appetite completely

11:15 am

cherlyq

yes they all got tested hers came back as the flu type B

11:16 am

cherlyq

he is full grown his sister is not old enough yet for the vaccine

11:16 am

cybernan

being asthmatic is a very good reason for getting vaccinated. He was foolish not to.

11:17 am

cybernan

he should also still get a vaccination even though he has had covid.

11:17 am

cherlyq

he knows that now

11:18 am

cherlyq

has to wait 90 days till after he is released from quarantine

11:18 am

cybernan

yes - that is true

11:19 am

cherlyq

or that is what it was when I had it

11:19 am

cybernan

still is, I think -- just like the 3 month waiting period between vaccinations.

11:20 am

cherlyq

21 days between shots here

11:20 am

MollyL

It would be great if everyone would get vaccinated. My point is, everyone is not going to get vaccinated so we have to hope that the percentage that does is enough to create some "herd immunity".

11:22 am

cybernan

From the reports we are hearing, it could be that this one is mutating too quickly to ever reach herd immunity among the unvaccinated.

11:22 am

cherlyq

I think you are right Molly, there are some that will not ever agree to get vaccinated and apparently some that can't or are not suggested to get one too

11:23 am

MollyL

And by the way, people against vaccines due to their politics is not unique to the US. 100,000 French people marched in protest against Macron's proposed restrictions. Without masks on.

11:24 am

cybernan

yes and 1 million got vaccinated the next day

11:25 am

cherlyq

If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction, even if it was not severe, to any ingredient in an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (such as polyethylene glycol), you should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

11:27 am

MollyL

The only vaccine I have reservations about is the Astra-Zenca one. And that is because I know people who work for Astra-Zenca and they say corners have been cut to mass produce that version so quickly.

11:27 am

cybernan

not without medical supervision, certainly, cherly, which is why you are required to wait for 20 minutes before leaving the vaccination facility.

11:28 am

cherlyq

yeah they are very strict about that too

11:29 am

cybernan

but that is also true of the flu shot

11:29 am

MollyL

Oh they are not strict here. They suggest you wait, but no one keeps you from leaving. I saw several people leave after about 10 minutes.

11:30 am

mamabook3

I'll chime in and risk attack - I'm not getting vaccinated. I have a neurological disorder and while there has been a variety of testing there has not been enough on people who have neurological disorders that would allow me to comfortably get the vaccine.

11:30 am

cherlyq

When I had mine one of the women tried to leave after ten minutes and they followed her out and made her come back in for the twenty minutes

11:33 am

cybernan

I remember when the first polio vaccines came out, a team of nurses and a doctor came into the school and vaccinated us all, classroom by classroom. The only exemptions were those with a doctor's certificate. Then when the salk vaccine came out the same procedure was repeated.

11:33 am

MollyL

I won't attack you. I believe everyone has a right to choose for themself.

11:35 am

cybernan

In that case, too, Mamabook, I would follow my neurologist's advice.

11:36 am

mamabook3

Appreciate that Molly- I've had many people who have not been so kind.

11:36 am

mamabook3

thanks nan -

11:38 am

hokie carla

wait, I thought Salk came up with the polio vaccine?

11:39 am

mamabook3

I'm not against vaccinations - my husband and all three of my kids 9now over 18) have chosen to get the shots. I'm just not willing to risk my current health until there have been more tests

11:39 am

cybernan

there was also Sabin -- maybe I got them in the wrong order -- it was over 60 years ago!

11:39 am

HarryHood

I think there was a Sabin as well?

11:40 am

penquis

Sabin introduced the oral vaccine...hello all....

11:40 am

hokie carla

ok, as someone who learned in the history books, I only heard of Salk

11:40 am

cybernan

then the sabin was 2nd because the first one I had was injected.

11:40 am

penquis

5 years after Salk....

11:41 am

hokie carla

rehi

11:41 am

cybernan

that sounds right, pen -- I was in elementary school when we got the Salk and highschool when we got the Sabin.

11:42 am

penquis

In 1955, Salk2 developed the inactivated poliovirus vaccine; thus began widespread immunisation. This was followed in 1960 by a live, attenuated oral vaccine developed by Sabin.

11:42 am

cybernan

need to get some breakfast - bbl

11:43 am

hokie carla

I just walked Winston. rainy this morning and it's 71, feels like 71. glorious.

On February 23, 1954, a group of children from Arsenal Elementary School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, receive the first injections of the new polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk.

11:44 am

11:46 am

penquis

i remember the shot and the oral vaccine...

11:47 am

hokie carla

the only thing I remember happening in school was the fluoride tablets and these things that like bubble up and highlight how well or poorly you are brushing your teeth

11:48 am

cherlyq

I remember those turned your mouth purple or something like that

11:48 am

HarryHood

I like showing my students the nuuclear drills where they had the kids hiding under desks. My students are in awe that they thought your desk would protect you from a nuclear bomb

11:48 am

hokie carla

but that was in the 70s/80s

11:48 am

penquis

we did that...

11:48 am

penquis

i can still remember the siren....

11:49 am

hokie carla

well, my kids did those but for active shooter drills and tornado drills

11:49 am

cherlyq

we did tornado drills and earthquake drills and fire drills to

11:49 am

hokie carla

we only had fire drills

11:50 am

penquis

we had fire drills....Smokey the Bear came to our school to congratulate us on how fast we exited our building...

11:50 am

cherlyq

we would line up in the hallway and tuck your head between your legs and cover it with your hands

11:50 am

penquis

fire drills are still mandated here....

11:51 am

hokie carla

yes, I'm sure they still have those everywhere

11:52 am

hokie carla

wonder when the nuclear attack drills stopped

11:52 am

clg47

I did stand in line with my class to receive the polio vaccine. The boys kidded me that we were getting monkey blood. So grateful, my arms and legs are the same length. Not like my grandmother who had polio as a young girls and one leg was about 5" shorter than the other.

11:52 am

MollyL

I am old enough to remember the oral polio vaccine and the under your desk drills

11:53 am

cherlyq

we moved constantly so I had both the shot and the oral vaccine

11:53 am

clg47

We did under your desk drills for nuclear attacks and now my grandkids do the same drill for earthquakes.

11:53 am

I wonder what would happen in France if they offered payments for getting vaccinated? Other places are toying with the idea.

12:09 pm

penquis

in Maine we had a sweepstakes for vaccinated people....a woman (health worker) won almost $900,000....

12:09 pm

penquis

a dollar for every vaccinated person...

12:11 pm

mael

MA is having a lottery too, 5 drawings for a million each for those over 18 and 5 drawings of 300k in an educational account for 12-17 year olds

12:11 pm

I am so glad my kids are grown but worried my grand daughter starts school in less than a month and no mask requirement will be in place here

12:12 pm

Lidl is offering its employees a $200 bonus for getting vaccinated.

Gov. Greg Abbott has prohibited schools from requiring masks and online classes will not be offered as an option

12:14 pm

what state is that?

12:15 pm

cherlyq

Texas

12:15 pm

MollyL

Texas. Aren't their numbers going up?

12:15 pm

penquis

ah....high number of cases there...

12:15 pm

penquis

one out of every new case is in Florida....

12:15 pm

cherlyq

Yep and my town has been hit hard

12:16 pm

cybernan

don't parents in the states have the option of home schooling their children? or setting up privately funded schools?

12:16 pm

penquis

every state has their rules...

12:16 pm

penquis

i think there is an online school here that is acceptable to the state....it was there before Covid....

12:17 pm

cherlyq

you can home school in Texas yes but there are certain rules to follow, I home schooled my daughter till she graduated starting from 9th grade she was having medical issues and missing a lot of school

12:18 pm

cherlyq

but last year most schools did online courses and sometimes a mix of in class and online

12:18 pm

penquis

i have to go....meeting family at a lobster shack....bbl to find my last 72....

12:18 pm

heh heh...thanks....new place for me...Five Islands Lobster....

12:21 pm

cherlyq

home schoolers pay for curriculum or find free stuff on line and have to do alot of planning where the school did all that last year

12:22 pm

cybernan

schools are going to be open here as well, barring any major outbreaks, but masks will be mandatory indoors

12:26 pm

hokie carla

hey, I finished one of the A's!

12:26 pm

hokie carla

yes, it was the smallest one

12:28 pm

cybernan

still need one from each of the a's in the first col.

12:31 pm

origami

Schools will be open here. Mask-wearing and physical distancing will be enforced and daily temperature checks done.

12:32 pm

MollyL

They are going to do daily temperature checks on all students? How time consuming.

12:38 pm

origami

It does seem like a really difficult thing to do.

12:39 pm

REG

Digital thermometers on the forehead are really quick now

12:39 pm

cybernan

and those skin temp thermometers are not nearly as accurate as the oral ones

12:39 pm

REG

12:39 pm

REG

march

12:39 pm

HarryHood

it's even faster than a swipe- they just point a thermal detector at the kid

12:39 pm

REG

sorry

12:40 pm

HarryHood

but I though we were past temperature checks - weren't they found not to be effective?

12:42 pm

MollyL

I thought so too Harry. Although, any kid with a temperature does not belong in school.

12:43 pm

REG

Medical buildings are doing temperature checks here

12:43 pm

HarryHood

we will only allow children whos core temperature is absolute zero to attend! No molecular motion allowed!

12:43 pm

Oh you chemist you

12:43 pm

here here!

12:44 pm

hawn

12:44 pm

MollyL

The only place that takes my temperature is my doctor's office and my salon

12:44 pm

HarryHood

I think everybody should mess with the school nurses' heads and report their temperatures in Kelvin.

12:44 pm

MollyL

The only places

12:45 pm

cherlyq

when I was in Second grade in Wyoming we did strep checks every two weeks on all kids in the school and more often if someone missed school, I always had strep it would come up and you had to get a shot of penicillin in order to return to school, Mom asked why as I was not sick every time they said I was, and turned out I was a carrier but he said that did not make me contagious

12:45 pm

MollyL

Imagine being the lucky person who gets to take and record the temperature of 500 kids

12:45 pm

cherlyq

only school I ever remember doing that though

12:45 pm

HarryHood

cheryl is patient zero for wyoming

12:46 pm

HarryHood

why don't they just have those chips they've injected with the vaccine transmit the body temp to the school? and the fbi?

12:46 pm

cherlyq

we moved from there cause mom refused to have me take that much penicillen

12:47 pm

HarryHood

remember the animated show The Archies?

12:48 pm

MollyL

Of course

12:48 pm

HarryHood

in the grid today!

12:49 pm

hurshy

well they'll use those ones you just hold up to the forehead probably, doesn't take as long as the old under-the-tongue kind

12:49 pm

MollyL

We ain't the Archies without the Jughead beat. Betty or Veronica Harry?

12:49 pm

mael

for the last year here in MA we were just supposed to certify that the kid was fever-free in the morning before school and had no other symptoms of covid. Saves the nurse the work!

12:49 pm

HarryHood

betty. I couldn't deal with Mr. Lodge.

12:50 pm

MollyL

Sure Hurshy, are you volunteering to do all 500? And record them?

12:50 pm

MollyL

Ginger or Mary Ann?

12:50 pm

HarryHood

yes mael - I got quite adept at filling out 5 daily attestations

12:50 pm

cherlyq

Wish I had my old cartoon books, they would be worth a ton of money now it seems

12:50 pm

mael

but they did have weekly covid swabs for all kids who opted in (which was most of them)

12:50 pm

origami

Probably hursh. And I doubt they are going to record the numbers. Probably just have the students with a temp go home.

12:50 pm

HarryHood

neither - Mrs. Howell.

12:51 pm

MollyL

You can tell a lot about a guy by how he answers those questions

12:51 pm

mael

I still do those daily attestations every morning for camp, in fact

12:52 pm

HarryHood

me too!!! I just got a call from camp that I hadn't been doing it - they were mad.

12:52 pm

HarryHood

Blaire or Jo

12:52 pm

Hi Frenchie

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

Granola + oatmeal + nuts for breakfast. Tortilla + nut butters for lunch. Dehydrated meal for dinner. Candy for snacks.

7:02 pm

hokie carla

where are you going?

7:02 pm

car.eeyore

Do you tend to cook any meals or just dry goods? Will you be camping in tents or cabin stops along the way?

7:02 pm

ItalianGreyhound

maybe a trout?

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

No cooking, we just heat water with a fuel stove.

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

IG, we are both vegans so the fish are safe.

7:03 pm

FrenchToast

I would bring a giant box of Nabs

7:03 pm

ItalianGreyhound

blueberries

7:04 pm

car.eeyore

You are so brave! I love that you and your sister do these trips and share so many pictures! :)

7:04 pm

hokie carla

FT, my mom says Nabs 😀

7:04 pm

Scrabbler

The Northville-Placid Trail in the Adirondack Mtns. 138-miles long, We have hiked 62 miles so far, starting last summer, and have 76 to go.

7:05 pm

car.eeyore

Oh my goodness!

7:05 pm

Scrabbler

What are Nabs?

7:05 pm

hokie carla

cracker packs, short for Nabisco

7:05 pm

FrenchToast

Nabs are those orange peanut-butter crackers

7:05 pm

Scrabbler

In two more trips. We expect to finish in late Sept.

7:05 pm

FrenchToast

I would bring 100-200 packs of Nabs if you're doing 138 miles.

7:05 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Scrabbler is a pace setter

7:06 pm

car.eeyore

May I ask a non-hiker, possible dumb, question? How do you get pack to where you left off?

7:06 pm

hokie carla

packs of 6 (or is it 8?). My mom says it for any packs of crackers, even those by Lance.

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

I see what Nabs are. Yes, good suggestion for salt.

7:06 pm

hokie carla

and any flavor

7:06 pm

FrenchToast

hokie they sell them at the DOLLAR TREE now

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

We stage 2 cars, one at each end, or use a shuttle service.

7:06 pm

hokie carla

sounds like a good trip!

7:06 pm

car.eeyore

Ahhhhhhhh.

7:06 pm

car.eeyore

Thank you

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

It sounds amazing!

7:07 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Im gonna walk to the corner store tomorrow

7:07 pm

Scrabbler

IG, we are SLOW compared to many people on the trail that go 20-25 miles daily. We prefer 6-8, get into camp early, settle in, swim, play Scrabble.

7:07 pm

car.eeyore

Trip of a thousand miles starts with one step!

7:08 pm

car.eeyore

See! That all sounds so nice...except the sleeping in the woods part...and the potential to see snakes...

7:08 pm

Scrabbler

We are section-hiking for a total of 6 trips. The sprinters finish in 6-7 days, although that sounds miserable.

7:08 pm

Scrabbler

cameo

7:08 pm

car.eeyore

I think at that rate you would miss so much along the way

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Free clue!

7:09 pm

7:09 pm

hokie carla

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, we stop at every lake, pond, river, and shelter. We cherish the experiences.

7:09 pm

car.eeyore

So there are shelters for sleeping at night and getting out of poor weather.

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

Lean-to, primitive shelters, are scattered on the trail but sometimes we use a campsite so set up a tent.

7:11 pm

car.eeyore

how is your mom doing?

7:11 pm

hokie carla

We like this youtuber called My Own Private Frontier (I think) who does a lot of solo backpacking. He makes some good videos.

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

We like watching Adirondack Woodswalker.

7:12 pm

hokie carla

7:12 pm

Scrabbler

Car, she is now 90 and doing well, with just a bad skeleton. Sharp mind.

7:13 pm

car.eeyore

May we all be so blessed! Wonderful! Tell her hi from me

7:13 pm

Scrabbler

I will. She loves her fan club.

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

But she doesn't like when I leave town--so much drama and crying.

7:14 pm

car.eeyore

Well, I got one of everything. I know have to slice and dice fruit platters for a collation tomorrow.

7:14 pm

ItalianGreyhound
