12:48 am

grannyrose

oh dear god ! we have a group of travelers just arrived from South Africa. they have tested positive to the omicron strain.

12:51 am

m9f9l

oh no. Hope they caught it and contained it early enough!

12:51 am

harpjane

blessings granny, it will be everywhere in a few weeks. It's in Hong Kong also....sigh

12:52 am

harpjane

found a duck

12:54 am

justafreep

Well, in a few weeks we'll learn that it already was everywhere, probably. But who knows if it's actually another nasty variant like Delta. Early days yet. (But I'm glad I wasn't traveling in South Africa these days!)

12:57 am

grannyrose

M9191. te travelers were already in quarantine when they were swabbed. please God, there are no slips between cup and lip.

12:58 am

m9f9l

Yeah.. but all the folks on the plane with them...

12:58 am

justafreep

Also in quarantine, I read

12:58 am

harpjane

That's what I mean, justafreep. The first ten cases were in South Africa, Botswana, Europe, Hong Kong, And they were all associated with international travelers. It's not really a South African variant. It was first discovered there....

12:58 am

justafreep

or asked to isolate, really

12:59 am

grannyrose

we don't know where it originated from actually. but with all the contact tracing tech they have, hopefully we will find out soon.

1:00 am

justafreep

Yeah, harpjane. Let's hope it's just a mutant that isn't going to change the trajectory in bad ways....

1:01 am

m9f9l

I need to listen to happy music now.

1:01 am

grannyrose

m9191, please turn up the volume.

Oops sorry that was not a funny story

1:02 am

grannyrose

i sent my 7 year old grand-daughter flowers for her birthday. i chose a smallish posy, colourful. right?

1:02 am

m9f9l

Starting with Katrina and the Waves Walkin' on Sunshine

1:02 am

m9f9l

Ok

1:03 am

justafreep

Yeah, Ursh. That's just horrible.

1:03 am

m9f9l

Did she say "granny, i'd rather have the money" ? LOL

1:04 am

grannyrose

well the florist recognised me as a returned customer several times over, so up-graded the small posy to a magnificent bunch of flowers, bigger than Sophia.

1:04 am

m9f9l

Wow!!

1:04 am

m9f9l

That is so sweet! When was her bday?

1:04 am

grannyrose

Daddy is trying to take a pic, and says to Sophia " i can't see your face" and this little voice says " i'm here, behind the flowers.

1:05 am

m9f9l

My granddaughter turned 8 on the 20th, but they didn't do a party. We had cake after thanksgiving dinner.

1:05 am

m9f9l

Ha ha!! That's so cute

1:05 am

grannyrose

her b'day was in October. 22nd.

1:06 am

Jacula

At least we all have much more connection to friends and family overseas than we did in the past. Let's make the most of that until the sea bed churns, destroys all the seabed cables and cuts us all off re internet.x

1:06 am

grannyrose

aaahhh Jacula, ever the optimist.... loll

1:07 am

Jacula

Well, I was trying to be optimistic, rose.

1:08 am

grannyrose

roflol... thank goodness for that.

1:08 am

Jacula

Sorry the scientist in me looked ahead! lol

1:08 am

m9f9l

We're waiting for the West coast to drop into the sea...

1:08 am

m9f9l

And the caldera in Yellowstone to blow...

1:08 am

m9f9l

So... what's YOUR happy music?

1:09 am

Jacula

Oh don't talk to me about that Yellowstone caldera - it's been worrying me for years. LOL

1:09 am

m9f9l

I'm not as fussed as I was when my daughter was living in Rexburg Idaho.

1:10 am

grannyrose

egad, that fo 8 is a weird word.

1:10 am

grannyrose

aha, that's 'cos i know it as starting with an s.

1:10 am

m9f9l

I just listened to Alizee Blonde.

1:11 am

m9f9l

Right granny? I was looking at it thinking "well, that's not right!"

1:11 am

Jacula

I'm really tempted to post a link to a Scandi Death metal band in reply to what's your happy music. lol. But I won't, but rock is my preferred music.

1:14 am

m9f9l

Ha ha.. We listed to all types here. Although I'm not much into screamo, Arch Enemy - The Eagle Flies Alone has a really good instrumental.

1:15 am

grannyrose

hmph. the or 5 i was typing needed a vowel on the end. * slinks away muttering to herself *

1:16 am

justafreep

do you music folk know everynoise.com? It's utterly remarkable for finding... all sorts of genres you don't even know.

1:16 am

m9f9l

I don't. I'll look into it!

1:17 am

justafreep

it's wild

1:21 am

m9f9l

1:32 am

grannyrose

1:33 am

m9f9l

Good wishes rose!

1:33 am

don't know if it's legend or fact, but i've read that, if you have something that's solid stainless steel and rub it between your hands, it'll take the odor away. you can even buy blocks of the metal for that purpose.

BzznBea

Ru, do you like your refrigerator?

9:35 am

9:35 am

BzznBea

Silly question, but I'm looking for a new fridge And can't decide on one.

9:35 am

BzznBea

What so you have and what do you not like about it.

9:36 am

rururocks

i have an upper end Kitchenaide.. but it's really hard to clean

9:36 am

hurshy

i hate ones that are split down the middle

9:36 am

rururocks

anything that drops through in the freezer is unreachable.

9:36 am

rururocks

the shelves are really hard to clean and collect debris

9:37 am

rururocks

and I have to change the water filter too often too

9:37 am

rururocks

other than that it's ok

9:37 am

BzznBea

Is it a French door with freezer in the bottom?

9:37 am

rururocks

9:38 am

rururocks

9:39 am

9:39 am

hokie carla

I said I won't do that config again. I just didn't like it.

9:39 am

rururocks

you need a degree in Rocket physics to change the filter in kitchenaide

9:40 am

BzznBea

We have a side by side now. IHATEIT!

9:40 am

hurshy

yeah i don't see why anyone would want side by side

9:40 am

hokie carla

was pretty easy to do that in the kenmore, but I was always driving to Sears to get them. then I discovered you can use LG ones and I ordered them from Amz

9:40 am

rururocks

i really want a sub zero.. but ...not enough room

9:41 am

hokie carla

I always hated side by side but the house we're in now has one and I like it better than our other.

9:42 am

hurshy

if you put something on a cookie sheet and need to chill it... nope, not gonna happen

9:42 am

BzznBea

Yes, sub zero would be awesome. Out of place in my dated kitchen though.

9:43 am

hokie carla

yeah, haven't had to do that yet in this one

9:43 am

rururocks

i have a smallish kitchen so that won't work for me

9:43 am

hokie carla

we left our 3 fridges behind and now just have the one

9:43 am

BzznBea

My brother just sold his house that had two sub zeros.

9:44 am

rururocks

oh god.. that would be my dream come true

9:44 am

hokie carla

fo8 is usually abbreviated as "fz" (or "ffz", etc.) in music, or as "sf" or "sfz" (short for the same word with an 's' on the front, which means the same thing, but suddenly). It means forcefully accented, and brass players get it a lot.
