					Did you test?
				 
							
					9:21 am
					hokie carla
					
					I had one home test here and it was negative. can't find other options around here right now so just pretending it was positive.
				 
							
					9:23 am
					Scrabbler
					
					If you find another rapid antigen test (RAT), swab your throat too. Many experts now advise swabbing throat then nose. Omicron is more likely to be in the throat than nose.
				 
							
					9:25 am
					hokie carla
					
					yeah, there just aren't any here
				 
							
					9:26 am
					Scrabbler
					
					I ordered 3 batches from iHealth for family.

					9:40 am

					I need 7s and 8s.
				 
							
					9:40 am

					9:41 am

					Oh, my eyes saw gl4
				 
							
					9:41 am

					one is like a horse of a certain age
				 
							
					9:42 am

					and one is weird but was clued here 9:04. I don't have the 4th.

					11:02 am

					11:03 am
					cybernan
					
					is that working through the pain?
				 
							
					11:04 am

					there are so many cases of omicron here now that the health authority is telling us that if we have any of the 8 or so symptoms they listed we should just isolate for 5 days from the onset --- there are just too many people and not enough test kits.

					12:11 pm

					my son was sick on Mon night with a fever and has been isolating all week. I saw him on Sat. and I got sick on Thu. but I also went to the dr for a preventative on Mon, so guessing I got something there.

					With the rest of the world coming down with imocron, my family & I have been struck down with Delta. Despite all the adults being doubly vaxxed & boosted. The poor little 3 month old grandson is very unwell.

					I read that 95% of US cases are omicron now but no idea how they would know that when there aren't even enough tests to test everyone.
				 
							
					12:50 pm
					mael
					
					I'm assuming they are sequencing samples of tests from different regions and extrapolating percentages
				 
							
					12:51 pm
					hokie carla
					
					yes, I'm sure there's math and stats involved ðŸ˜
				 
							
					12:51 pm

					It was only when I was eating a pizza (shop-bought frozen variety) that I noticed my sense of taste was gone. I actually wondered if I had cooked the cardboard box, there was so little taste.
				 
							
					12:51 pm

					Sorry to hear that Soodle. Didn't you have Covid early on? 
				 
							
					12:51 pm
					hokie carla
					
					ugh, well hopefully that will come back for you soon
				 
							
					12:51 pm

					are you sure you didn't eat the box? :D
				 
							
					12:53 pm
					Soodle
					
					Every cloud etc - A great kick start to my 2022 diet.
				 
							
					12:54 pm
					hokie carla
					
					how's your smell and taste, mael? I heard it's not as common to lose it with omicron.
				 
							
					12:54 pm
					Soodle
					
					I double checked, Ru. I can confirm I didn’t eat the box.
				 
							
					12:54 pm
					rururocks
					
					yeah.. delta you do lose your sense of smell and taste.. 
				 
							
					12:55 pm
					rururocks
					
					here in the US.. sometimes it's hard to tell which is better the pizza or the box
				 
							
					12:56 pm
					hokie carla
					
					just think if you had to eat gluten free pizza, ru. actually freshetta frozen gf pizza is better than most all gf pizza, incl. pizza places.
				 
							
					12:57 pm
					Soodle
					
					I hear you, Ru. But I just felt so grotty, I was looking for something quick, fuss free & filling.
				 
							
					12:57 pm
					rururocks
					
					i never do take out pizza or store bought.. so I don't know.. I am glad I don't have a gluten problem though
				 
							
					12:58 pm
					rururocks
					
					I do love pizza but so does my gut so I stay away from it
				 
							
					12:59 pm
					hokie carla
					
					yeah, I feel you on that
				 
							
					12:59 pm
					mael
					
					my smell and taste is fine so far
				 
							
					12:59 pm
					rururocks
					
					if I lost my sense of taste you could just kill me then
				 
							
					12:59 pm
					mael
					
					I made fresh pasta and meatsauce for dinner last night, figuring that if I was going to lose my sense of taste I'd better go out with a bang
				 
							
					12:59 pm
					mael
					
					it may take a while but most people who lose their sense of taste from covid do recover it
				 
							
					1:00 pm

					The box is definitely better than any frozen pizza

					Hopefully my ‘mother of the groom’ outfit will be a size or two lower come September.
				 
							
					1:00 pm
					hokie carla
					
					I am currently eating M&Ms and they are still good.
				 
							
					1:01 pm
					rururocks
					
					my one close friend who caught it twice said the sense of taste came back fairly quickly, but his brain was really foggy for a couple of months.. even trying to figure out simple things 
				 
							
					1:02 pm
					hokie carla
					
					I really have had a lot of trouble with word games since I got sick, so maybe it's brain fog.
				 
							
					1:03 pm
					Soodle
					
					Brain fog really IS a thing. I’m trying to watch Stay Close on Netflix. I keep having to rewind to remember what happened 15 minutes ago. Ugh
				 
							
					1:03 pm
					MollyL
					
					Mmm, M&M's. I've been off sugar for over a week. Boring life. 
				 
							
					1:04 pm
					hokie carla
					
					well, brain fog was already a thing with celiac disease so I've had it before.
				 
							
					1:04 pm

					my condolences, molly
				 
							
					1:05 pm
					hokie carla
					
					for some reason, I think you burn more calories while just hanging out in bed while you're sick, so I've been eating sweets like crazy.
				 
							
					1:05 pm
					rururocks
					
					thankfully I had Scotch to fall back on
				 
							
					1:05 pm
					hokie carla
					
					yes, I know it's not possible
				 
							
					1:05 pm
					rururocks
					
					you're already too sweet as it is hokie
				 
							
					1:06 pm

					it would be real easy for me to give up tequila too, I haven't had any in 10 years or so. Now beer...
				 
							
					1:06 pm
					rururocks
					
					the last time I had tequilla I was 17

					in other news, mr. homie went to see a house in our old neighborhood and wants to make an offer. so now that I've almost got my sewing room completely set up, I will have to start packing it again if we get the house.
				 
							
					1:07 pm
					MollyL
					
					Tequila makes me gag
				 
							
					1:07 pm
					hokie carla
					
					I'm so glad for calorie purposes that I don't like to drink
				 
							
					1:07 pm
					rururocks
					
					why do you guys move so much hokes?
				 
							
					1:08 pm
					MollyL
					
					I thought you weren't unpacking much in the temporary house. And yeah, why do you move so much?
				 
							
					1:08 pm
					hokie carla
					
					well, this house was just meant to be temporary. we became empty nesters and wanted to downsize while the market was hot. 
				 
							
					1:08 pm
					Soodle
					
					My son swears by poitÃn. We all came down with Covid this day last week. He took 3 shots of the vile stuff, and although still testing positive, is the only one of us able to function. Somebody should tell the WHO.
				 
							
					1:08 pm
					hokie carla
					
					we were in the last house for 14 years!
				 
							
					1:09 pm
					rururocks
					
					what's poitin?
				 
							
					1:09 pm
					MollyL
					
					*Makes a mental note that I now have a good reason to buy poteen
				 
							
					1:10 pm
					MollyL
					
					It's Irish moonshine Ru
				 
							
							
					1:11 pm
					hokie carla
					
					and yes, molly, I wasn't going to unpack it but then mr. homie said we would just stay here and motorhome more so I started unpacking, but he's decided he just hates this neighborhood. and I'm not a huge fan of the house.
				 
							
					1:11 pm
					MollyL
					
					Usually about 90% alcohol
				 
							
					1:11 pm
					Soodle
					
					Illegally brewed hooch, Ru. He has a friend who makes it & he brings liters of the stuff back to the UK with him everybtime he drives home. It’s dreadful stuff altogether, but he swears by it.
				 
							
					1:11 pm
					rururocks
					
					sounds awful
				 
							
					1:12 pm
					hokie carla
					
					wonder how it compares to appalachian moonshine
				 
							
					1:13 pm

					That sounds unsettling, Carla. I hope you guys find your forever home.
				 
							
					1:13 pm

					My house just went up in value by $300K this year alone, i hope this hold so I can sell and move when I retire
				 
							
					1:13 pm
					hokie carla
					
					well, we're not looking for a forever one right now, but I definitely want one I can settle into for a while
				 
							
					1:15 pm
					MollyL
					
					Poteen is made from cereals, grain, whey, sugar beet, molasses and potatoes. So yeah, kind of awful. But very potent, as it's name suggests.
				 
							
					1:15 pm

					i hate moving so you wouldn't see me moving that much hokie.. it's a huge PITA

					1:16 pm

					I am not a big fan of moving around a lot either.
				 
							
					1:16 pm
					hokie carla
					
					yes it is. we moved ourselves last time but will spring for movers this time since it's too soon for us to forget how horrible it is.
				 
							
					1:18 pm
					Soodle
					
					I’ve been in this house for 30 years now. Last year, I got major renovation work done. I decided to declutter ruthlessly. It took 6 medium sized dumpsters to get where I wanted to be. My kids (all home-owners in their own right) were invited to come & claim their ‘treasures’. None of them did, so they were all dumped. It was cathartic.
				 
							
					1:25 pm
					MollyL
					
					The days of moving myself are long gone. I did it enough times when my joints were in better shape.
				 
							
					1:30 pm
					rururocks
					
					i couldn't move myself anymore.. it's too much for me now.. I am planning just one more move (I hope)
				 
							
					1:31 pm
					hokie carla
					
					I joked our moving company was Two Old People and a Truck
				 
							
					1:31 pm
					MollyL
					
					I would love to move one more time. But I doubt I will be able to afford it. I don't have the money for house hopping. 
				 
							
					1:32 pm
					hokie carla
					
					we are definitely too old for that
				 
							
					1:32 pm
					MollyL
					
					Then why did you do it? It seems like you can afford movers.
				 
							
					1:35 pm
					hokie carla
					
					because we're in denial about how old we are and thought we could do it with our 2 grown boys. of course one was away and the other decided to hurt his back weight lifting the day we had planned for all the big stuff.
				 
							
					1:36 pm
					rururocks
					
					Knows which of hokie's kid is the "smart" one :D
				 
							
					1:38 pm
					MollyL
					
					Seriously. If my parents could afford movers and enlisted my help to schlep heavy furniture, I would get a "hurt back" too.
				 
							
					1:40 pm

					we did decide we are never moving a washing machine again, so will have to buy a new W&D if we move
