aslindy

hello all

7:40 am

MollyL

Have things calmed down in your neighborhood, Bea?

7:44 am

BzznBea

Some what. They still haven't found the young men.

7:45 am

MollyL

Sorry. That must keep the stress level up in your home.

7:47 am

BzznBea

Not really. It is what it is. Nothing I can do and stressing won't help. Even if they found them, they are juvies. Nothing will be done.

7:47 am

MollyL

That is a great way to deal with it.

7:50 am

MollyL

Name that proper noun. Great web site for original hand made goods.

7:50 am

BzznBea

etsy

7:51 am

MollyL

Ding! Ding! Bea wins an Etsy gift certificate.

7:54 am

MollyL

I love that site

7:58 am

mael

so we're about to get 4-6 in of rain here in MA over the next two days

7:58 am

mael

fun times

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, mael. Is flooding a risk?

8:02 am

mael

yeah, I feel for people's finished basements

8:03 am

mael

the sad thing is that it's a noreaster, if it were colder we would have gotten 4 to 6 FEET of snow. And my kids would have thought that was the best thing in the world, haha

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Snow is way better than lots of rain.

8:03 am

mael

seriously, at least it's fun and it doesn't flood everything all at once

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I just read about the storm and looked at the radar map. My sister is here and returns home to northeastern NJ tomorrow.

8:09 am

mael

my husband was supposed to fly to NJ tomorrow for a pilot training conference and they're... not going to go with those winds

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Good plan.

8:14 am

mael

even big jets might have trouble tomorrow, there might be delays

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes. Well, my sister will arrive home by about 3pm. Then she can nervously watch the brook rise behind her home. It last flooded in August.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

I found 90 and must move on now. Be safe, mael.

8:21 am

mael

thank you! safe travels for your sister

thanks, phae. here, after november 8, canadians may travel to the states without one (so long as they're fully vaccinated), but may not re-enter canada without a PCR test (rapid tests not allowed)

9:13 am

welki

thanks, mael

9:14 am

Hopefully they get a negative reading.

Nef

Good evening.

10:26 pm

harpjane

hi nef!

10:27 pm

Nef

Hi harpjane! How are you? (Iâ€™ve been MIA for about a year).

10:54 pm

mich_pdx

Hi Nef (if you're still here) - I took a couple of years off, myself. It's been so long that Jacula just said 'nice to meet you" the other evening, lol

11:00 pm

mich_pdx

I've been nervous about asking what became of Stidmama? She was here so often and chatted a lot. I saw that Jillibus "will be missed," so I assume she's playing Babble in heaven...

11:00 pm

bleugirl2

how bout an SE 5/14

11:01 pm

bleugirl2

nvrmnd

11:08 pm

Nef

Hi mich_pdx. I donâ€™t remember you, but stidmama is now a teacher. And yes, Jillibus did pass away a couple of years ago.

11:10 pm

mich_pdx

Ah, and Stidmere?

11:10 pm

bleugirl2

FIREWORXXX!!!

11:11 pm

Nef

YAY, bleugirl2!!! WTG!,

11:12 pm

Nef

Stidmere was still around last I heard ( but thatâ€™s a while ago too).

11:13 pm

mich_pdx

thanks for the update :)

11:14 pm

Nef

Your welcome.

11:14 pm

smores

hi all, guess this is reunion night, been away a couple years myself

11:15 pm

mich_pdx

welcome back smores!

11:15 pm

smores

Sorry to hear about Jillibus

11:16 pm

smores

Hi mich, Nef

11:17 pm

Nef

Hi smores.

11:17 pm

smores

just finished

11:18 pm

smores

last word was wi6 that I is coming soon

11:19 pm

smores

hmmm.... random I got in there

11:19 pm

Nef

My computer died & then we had to move in to assisted living because of my hubby; so somewhere along the way I lost (& forgot) this website.

11:19 pm

mich_pdx

congrats! I've got 37 left, it's doable!

11:20 pm

smores

definately doable mich

11:21 pm

smores

lol....my computer died as well, then just kinda got busy and forgot too. Hope all is well with your hubby,

11:23 pm

mich_pdx

hope you and your husband are doing ok in assisted living. I'm sure it must have been a hard transition to make.

11:25 pm

Nef

Heâ€™s slipping; the past 1 1/2 year has been tough. The switch from independant living in our own home to assisted living in an apartment during a pandemic hasnâ€™t been easy; but itâ€™s been good for him too.

11:28 pm

smores

sorry to hear Nef

11:29 pm

smores

I hope the change has some positive for you both

11:29 pm

mich_pdx

I can imagine. I've done a lot of healthcare architecture and aging in place design, so I've worked with a lot of 60+ folks

11:31 pm

Nef

If we can ever get out of this pandemic, I think it would really be nice living here. (Itâ€™s okay now, but it would be nice to have someone come over for coffee or tea someday

11:33 pm

smores

I know what you mean, this thing just seems unending.

11:34 pm

mich_pdx

Yes, I'm sure that they are very careful because of the problems with nursing homes early in the pandemic. And how susceptible many older people can be to serious, life-threatening infection :(

11:36 pm

Nef

Yeah. They are following the MN Dept. of Health rules to the letter; Iâ€™m glad of that, but I just miss having a friend or 2 over to drink coffee or tea& have a nice long gab session.

11:37 pm

mich_pdx

Were you able to see friends out of doors before the weather turned?

11:37 pm

JoyOh

Clue for Tw8/60?

11:38 pm

Cosmo Kramer

tens.. tw8... thirties

11:39 pm

smores

Do they have a community room

11:39 pm

Nef

And weâ€™ve been very lucky because of their rules, thereâ€™s only been 6 cases here ( someone in Memory Care caught it around Thanksgiving last year).

11:39 pm

Nef

Good clue, Cosmo!

11:40 pm

JoyOh

Thanks, boy, do I feel stupid!

11:41 pm

Nef

Yes, smores, they do. But until we got both doses of the vaccinations, we couldnâ€™t go there or even eat in the dining room. Now that everyone is vaccinated, we can do that.

11:42 pm

smores

A friend of mine lives in a 50+ complex and they just reopened the community room for vaccinated tenants

11:43 pm

smores

They have the tables set up further apart and removed 1/2 the seating.

11:47 pm

Nef

Yeah, they are still masking & social distancing here too.

11:48 pm

smores

Thats good. Glad they are playing it safe.

11:50 pm

smores

Unfortunately many are not.

11:50 pm

Nef

Thereâ€™s somewhere arount 130-150 residents here, we havenâ€™t had any deaths, & the outbreak in the Memory Care unit was quickly contained; so thatâ€™s the dood news,

11:51 pm

smores

That's wonderful

11:52 pm

smores

I gotta go finish up laundry. be back after flip

11:53 pm

Nef

At the same time, itâ€™s affected a lot of the residents because theyâ€™re afraid of getting Covid.

11:55 pm

Nef

Iâ€™m tired & heading to bed. We had fire alarms going off here at 2AM

11:56 pm

Nef

Good night & happy Babbling everyone.

11:56 pm

mich_pdx

Good night, Nef. Look forward to chatting more in the future. Sleep well!

11:57 pm
