7:12 am

Scrabbler

Thanks again.

7:14 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. Who wants breakfast?

7:16 am

mattygroves

I just had lunch

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Hi Matty

7:35 am

BzznBea

Wow! Another big grid.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Bea. Dive in.

7:36 am

BzznBea

Scrabbs, my mom has been taking Fasenra for two months. It is an amazing drug.

7:36 am

Scrabbler

How is your mom doing?

7:37 am

BzznBea

She is doing very well. Her asthma is very well controlled now with the addition of the injections.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Our messages crossed. The targeted biologics are so effective.

7:38 am

BzznBea

She is amazed how much better she feels.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Excellent.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Now if we can get past Mr. Bea comimg in contact with +Covid...

7:42 am

Scrabbler

N95 mask whenever indoors.

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Vaccines prevent death but not Long COVID. You can't get Long COVID if you don't catch COVID.

7:48 am

mael

they do lessen your chances of getting long COVID, though. Thankfully.

7:49 am

BzznBea

We had just been discussing getting the second booster.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Do it, Bea.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

We need improved vaccines ASAP.

7:50 am

BzznBea

We will.

7:50 am

hokie carla

I heard Moderna has a new one with more variants in phase 2 of 3 trials so I'm kinda waiting for that.

7:51 am

mael

doesn't sound like it's any more effective than the first go around, hokie. The advice I've seen is to get the second booster as soon as you're eligible for it

7:52 am

hokie carla

hmm, okay

7:52 am

BzznBea

I've also seen that the boosters are only effective for about four months.

7:53 am

hokie carla

my BFF has covid right now. but she only had one dose J&J and that was it.

7:54 am

BzznBea

Daughter has it after going to a mega wedding last weekend.

7:55 am

hokie carla

we went to my niece's college grad 2 weeks ago and thought for sure we'd get it.

8:04 am

mael

there were 9 out of 18 kids in my son's class with covid the past two weeks. We escaped it, thankfully, probably because we still have some antibodies floating around from our bout with it in January

8:05 am

hokie carla

that's good

8:08 am

hokie carla

I love it when I finish a tile on the first look. doesn't happen often.

8:10 am

mael

that was two of the Es for me today, hokie

8:10 am

rururocks

mega weddings right now are just stupid

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, ruru.

8:11 am

hokie carla

it was the L

8:12 am

mael

nice, I'm missing 2

8:13 am

hokie carla

nothing odd, just a matter of getting them

8:13 am

rururocks

i don't understand people taking just one vaccine when others are available to them.

8:13 am

rururocks

hi scrabs

8:13 am

rururocks

it has to be incredibly frustrating for doctors

8:14 am

mael

oh there they are, I had the root word

8:14 am

Scrabbler

People need more education, a lot more, to stay well during this pandemic. But many people don't want our advice.

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, last fall a father demanded a mask exemption for his son at school. I refused, of course, as I couldn't place the child or classmates at risk.

8:16 am

rururocks

unbelievable

8:16 am

Scrabbler

The father began screaming and swearing at me. My colleague called the police as the father refused to leave without the note. It was frightening.

8:17 am

hokie carla

almost missed my russian ruler!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

TY, Carla.

8:17 am

hokie carla

but I found bea's fish no problem

8:18 am

Scrabbler

A real fish?

8:18 am

hokie carla

yep

8:18 am

rururocks

oh have seen them at local restaurants that don't allow them to dine being unvaccinated and they have some stupid exemption card made up by some trump factory supporters

8:19 am

Scrabbler

So many ignorant folks cannot be educated. They already "know" it all.

8:20 am

hokie carla

they "did their research" with google

8:21 am

Scrabbler

And they don't know how bad this virus is--infection and Long COVID.

8:23 am

rururocks

we've passed more than a million people who've died from this virus. when will they learn?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Denial is powerful, but not an effective strategy.

8:24 am

hurshy

Vowels Vanquished!

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Go Hurshy, go.

8:25 am

hurshy

in case anyone is interested, the vowels make up 75 of today's words

8:26 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have qu5 and can't imagine what the other 2 q's are

8:28 am

Scrabbler

qu6: place a consonant second to last, then pluralize

8:29 am

rururocks

4 in french hokie

8:29 am

mael

four in french

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:34 am

rururocks

8:34 am

rururocks

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Haha. Master punster.

8:57 am

hokie carla

2:41 pm

BzznBea

sammysmom, don't let this game get you down. If it upsets you or makes you sad, take a break. Come back after a few minutes or days, or weeks. Do what you can and when a puzzle gets troublesome, let it go.

2:49 pm

Dippnall

I'll second that. I drove myself mad trying to complete each day. Now I dip in as I want / feel able and enjoy the process more. x

3:53 pm

BzznBea

I finally made it to the O's.

5:12 pm

MollyL

I don't have the time to finish anymore.

5:18 pm

windingwake

I only get sucked in if I happen to get close to the end. Usually I look at the grid size and the day requirements and pick a fraction to shoot for

5:37 pm

rururocks

we've had some big boy grids lately too

7:55 pm

ItalianGreyhound

finishing grids is not a problem if you just dont sleep
