cybernan

yep - right next to godliness

12:32 am

Gillie

If you have multiple keyboard maps installed, it seems to be easy to switch between them accidentally.

12:32 am

cybernan

yes - my keyboard often has trouble with my fingers as well

12:33 am

dianedecoder

I do it often, Gillie, just have to hit control/shift to get out of that mode.

12:34 am

Gillie

thanks!

Wow, lockdown for the unvaccinated in Germany

10:44 am

penquis

interesting...

10:45 am

rururocks

wish we'd do that here

10:46 am

MollyL

Apparently, Germany has one of the lowest vaccinated rates. And their cases are surging.

10:47 am

MollyL

Looks like Nan's "shunning" idea might be happening.

10:47 am

rururocks

this isn't going to end. Stupidity rules

10:48 am

MollyL

I guarantee you that vaccination rates will go up once proof of vaccine is required upon entrance at most places

10:52 am

rururocks

here's hoping for that.

10:52 am

rururocks

got to get to work.. have fun molls

10:52 am

penquis

and hoping nobody gets shot for asking for proof...

10:52 am

11:49 am

MollyL

11:59 am

hokie carla

12:00 pm

allyall

LOL I love acronyms. GATBO has a nice ring to it

12:01 pm

hokie carla

I like GATBO too. and therefore we shall make it so.

12:01 pm

hokie carla

Oh, Molly! Don't encourage hokie 😀

12:05 pm

To whomever posted about using Midol for pain relief...cybernan? THANK YOU so much!!! I tried it for IT Band Syndrome and it works! No other OTC or prescription pain meds have helped. I'm a Babbler Dabbler, not a real player, but I had to log on to thank you!!

12:19 pm

bichon

They still sell Midol? What is in it?

12:28 pm

origami

Acetaminophen, caffeine and an antihistamine.

12:29 pm

bichon

12:31 pm

Sophie512

the caffeine in it made my hands shake, but it was worth it...... wow, that was a LOOOOONG time ago (no, not a coffee drinker)

12:32 pm

MollyL

Wow, you must be hyper sensitive to caffeine.

12:34 pm

Sophie512

Molly, not so much any more, probably.... try to only have one diet coke a day

12:34 pm

origami

I love coffee but can't drink it any more. I have become sensitive to it.

12:36 pm

MollyL

I will just jump off the nearest cliff if that ever happens to me. I don't drink as much as I used to, but a morning without coffee would be pure hell.

12:36 pm

Sophie512

my sister is grouchy til she gets her coffee.....she came for a visit in July to help me decorate my townhouse...I don't even own a coffee pot, so I would zip to Starbucks and have it waiting on her when she got up :)

12:37 pm

Sophie512

106 left.....need to run some errands

12:37 pm

origami

You're a good sister!

12:37 pm

Sophie512

She's the one with the decorating talent, I had to keep her happy!

12:38 pm

MollyL

You can get some nice little one cup coffee makers for company. Much cheaper than Starbucks. Better coffee too. I hate Starbucks coffee.

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

i don't like SB coffee either

12:43 pm

hokie carla

me either

12:45 pm

origami

I don't like it either. I used to like Peet's.

12:45 pm

MollyL

I drink my coffee black, so it has to be good coffee, without all the bells, whistles, creams and syrup shots.

1:16 pm
