7:29 am

hurshy

Ds Destroyed!

7:32 am

mael

bottom row gray on first pass, not bad this morning

7:38 am

hurshy

hmm i need one more C to do that

7:39 am

hurshy

got it!

7:40 am

mael

yay! was it the ch6? it was my last

7:40 am

hurshy

yeah

7:40 am

hurshy

now one more T will also grey the left column...

7:41 am

mael

I am missing one T too

7:41 am

hurshy

aha, ti7 counts

7:43 am

hurshy

dang, i think my vaccine side effects are kicking in

7:44 am

mael

aw, sorry hursh. It was quick for me this go around

7:44 am

hurshy

that's good

7:50 am

hurshy

i think playing a lot of spelling bee is throwing me off on babble

7:51 am

hurshy

so many words that count here but don't count there

7:53 am

hurshy

the Us weren't actually that bad

7:53 am

MollyL

I didn't think the u's were bad either

7:59 am

rururocks

two u's are really bad

8:00 am

rururocks

at least to me they are :D

8:02 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! poirot portrayer

8:03 am

mael

I had to google it so it doesn't count :)

8:04 am

sukee

Suchet

8:04 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

8:05 am

saanichcat

good morning everyone!

8:06 am

rururocks

(waves to saanich)

8:07 am

saanichcat

waves back -- my only way of communication -- my email broke

8:07 am

mael

broke??

8:09 am

saanichcat

overnight it changed itself to gmail -- have to call apple help. cannot suddenly have a new and unknown email, this is ridiculous'

8:12 am

rururocks

my settings recently changed with Outlook and it's been havoc ever since

8:13 am

mael

wait, it changed to gmail from what?

8:13 am

MollyL

I hate Outlook.

8:13 am

mael

outlook is the worst

8:14 am

saanichcat

it changed from telus (my longtime provider) to gmail. Yeah, agreed re Outlook.

8:14 am

rururocks

(now they tell me)

8:16 am

mael

wow, I didn't even know a provider could just migrate like that, it must be quite the headache

8:16 am

hurshy

i suppose google bought telus, and that's why?

8:17 am

hurshy

10 words to go!

8:17 am

MollyL

I don't think it can migrate like that. Any chance a wrong button was pushed?

8:18 am

mael

yeah, must be. I see a very detailed page from Telus on how to finalize the migration to google.

8:18 am

rururocks

i thought geese migrated not google

8:18 am

saanichcat

they didn't buy it; they 'manage' it whatever that means. But they gave us 6 months notice.

8:18 am

mael

https://www.telus.com/en/support/topic\n/gmail if it helps!

8:19 am

mael

damn, I thought the link was short enough, sorry

8:19 am

saanichcat

thanks mael, anything helps right now, I am very frustrated!

8:20 am

mael

it looks like they cover their bases, I bet the have in house support too to help clients. I would give them a call tomorrow, they'll help more than Apple.

8:25 am

saanichcat

fingers crossed!

8:27 am

hurshy

how does apple come into it, anyway? did they used to manage this telus?

8:30 am

mael

I'm assuming it's because saani has an apple device

8:31 am

saanichcat

your are right mael

8:36 am

hurshy

oh, well, then that's irrelevant, they wouldn't be able to help at all

8:37 am

hurshy

that's like calling the guy who built your house because you broke a chair

8:37 am

hurshy

not his circus, not his monkeys

8:38 am

mael

saani said they were talking to apple. They might be able to help set up the new email on a device, but telus help support will DEFINITELY help. Safer bet :)

8:38 am

saanichcat

I appreciate everyone's advice, thank you. Will report tomorrow hopefully with better news!

8:39 am

mael

good luck! tech issues are hard to problem solve!

8:40 am

saanichcat

and I am your original klutz

8:47 am

mael

FW! sorry again to have borked the chat :)

8:50 am

mael

have a great sunday everyone!

phantom spaghetti

9:27 am

penquis

phantom initiate....hello all....

9:27 am

BzznBea

hey pen

9:28 am

penquis

hi Bea...

9:35 am

Scrabbler

Good morning. On call here and there are so many sick kids.

9:36 am

penquis

hi scrabs....so sorry to hear that....lots here, too....

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Our children's hospital is 30% over capacity.

9:36 am

penquis

i think we are very close to capacity.....

9:36 am

BzznBea

Is it flu, covid, rsv?

9:37 am

Scrabbler

RSV, COVID, Influenza A

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

good morning. any idea if the current flu vaccine is strong for type A?

9:42 am

Dorens

what's RSV?

9:45 am

Scrabbler

Respiratory Syncytial Virus--a universal infection in young kids. Cold symptoms, cough, wheezing, and sometimes respiratory failure.

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I don't know the dats, Owl.

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

let's hope. i get the new booster on Tuesday. i was surprised to hear of the new variants infecting most of my family recently depsite their being vaccinated and having had covid before.

9:47 am

Scrabbler

* data

9:47 am

rururocks

so far I've managed to avoid covid

9:48 am

Scrabbler

The new CoV subvariants taking over evade the vaccine sadly. wear a N95 indoors at all times. #1 mitigation = N95 mask.

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, ruru. It invades organs for months after the acute infection.

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i wear one on the train and also when dealing with the public each week. are the new boosters helpful at all with the new variants? I have to wonder...

9:51 am

Scrabbler

No. We need improved vaccines, either NovaVax or a nasal vaccine.

9:52 am

rururocks

i wear masks when shopping.. I am surprised by how many people don't

9:53 am

BzznBea

We have avoided it here too. Mom doesn't go out unless she has to. I am always masked when out.

9:53 am

origami

When I shop most people are not masked. It's scary.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

when i shop it's off hours, so have not been masking. very little contact, and those brief. crowds at concerts are a different story.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

I see very few masked people in stores. No one knows what CoV does to the body. Acute COVID is typically mild but the post-acute phase (even 1 yr) is alarming.

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

suprisingly, the rate of transmission is greater in the suburbs...wondering about the rate of unvaccinated children.

9:57 am

rururocks

it is?

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i have seen brief reports re after effects. it is a nasty virus, not surprising with bats

9:57 am

rururocks

i hadn't read that

9:58 am

rururocks

maybe the burbs in Ohio, Arizona, Texas and other antivax areas

9:58 am

BzznBea

I have several friends that have long CoV. It is devastating.

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

of course you had not. you don't read PA news,

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Grey matter loss, strokes, heart attacks, sudden cardiac arrest, chronic fatigue.

9:59 am

rururocks

hopefully not cindy bea

9:59 am

BzznBea

LOL!

10:01 am

rururocks

<---knew that would get a laugh outta bea

10:01 am

Scrabbler

87 left. I need to hike at the park in the sun. Enjoy the day. Go Buffalo Bills!

10:01 am

penquis

bye scrabs...

10:02 am

Aloyisius

bye Scrabs, hi all

10:02 am

penquis

hi aloy...

10:02 am

BzznBea

hey, aloy

10:04 am

welki

'morning, babblers

10:05 am

rururocks

(notes that everyone seems to be waking up now)

10:05 am

BzznBea

hey, welki. Still traveling?

10:05 am

welki

(and if saanich is lurking, that migration to google was a pain in the tushie for us, too)

10:06 am

penquis

hi welki...

10:06 am

welki

yes, bea - and a short trip next week to have lunch with both our resident wine connoisseur and our adopter of the crazy beagle

10:07 am

BzznBea

Give them big hugs from me.

10:08 am

welki

then we're off to the northern california coast for a month - hope the fishing is better there than here

10:09 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds like fun.

10:10 am

welki

we've had a good time so far, owl - some blips, but that's to be expected

10:11 am

welki

ohh, where's seain - there's a song we sing whenever this word is in the grid. "pass the ....."

10:12 am

Aloyisius

well, I'm grateful to Scrabbs for her chat.. read it to hubby and he will go first thing to the local pharmacy for his booster and flu shots. He has been majorly procrastinating.

10:12 am

penquis

good...

10:13 am

welki

excellent - sometimes, a good ol' kick in the keester is what we need, alooy

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

sadly, i could not make that an accepted word...

10:13 am

BzznBea

Good for him.

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i thought it ends with a y

10:13 am

Aloyisius

lol, right welki

10:13 am

rururocks

i'm getting the flu shot next Friday.. had to postpone it due to having the recent covid booster a few weeks ago

10:13 am

penquis

tell your hubby that he got several pats on the back here in Babbleland.....

10:14 am

penquis

my friend got both shots at the same time....no ill effects at all....

10:14 am

BzznBea

We did the same, ru. Flu shots then boosters. All three of us.

10:14 am

Aloyisius

got mine at the same time, ru.. no problemo. They told me the flu shot was on top, COVID below (in case of reaction)

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i've spoken with many who got both at the same time. i don't think i am up for that.

10:15 am

penquis

i chose to get mine on different days....

10:15 am

Aloyisius

I expected a sore arm at least.. nope

10:15 am

BzznBea

I can't do both together because of the reaction I get from both.

10:15 am

rururocks

i've always read that it's best to get the flu shot in late October so that it covers things more efficiently

10:16 am

rururocks

I don't know if that's true though

10:16 am

welki

tim horton's doesn't make them anymore, so i make them myself - good recipe at (but don't look if you want a babble word):
https://tinyurl.com/ye6sbrfv

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

doctor's office held its last clinic on the 13th. drive up. very nice and no bad jab like at pharmacy last year.

10:17 am

rururocks

i tried a tim horton's donut.. i don't see what the big deal is

10:17 am

welki

no big deal about them at all, ru - it's a culture thing

10:17 am

rururocks

at the airport in Canada there was a line of over 40 people lined up for donuts

10:18 am

welki

(same as dunkin', i suppose - donuts are okay, but i'll never pass one up *lol*)

10:18 am

rururocks

I looked to see how many people's eyes were glazed

10:19 am

welki

when i first arrived in canada, and after i got my working papers, i didn't know i could work in my prior profession, so i worked at tim's for a while - for most folks, it's more about the coffee than the donuts

10:19 am

welki

folks tend to fritter away their time waiting in line there

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

hahaha

10:20 am

rururocks

call me old fashioned but I try to stay away from sweets now

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

and now, i am thinking about dunkim and a nice pumpkin cruller...

10:22 am

welki

we had to double dip into our savings for this trip, ru

10:22 am

origami

I hope you guys are having a great time, welki.

10:22 am

welki

mmmmmm .... donuts

10:24 am

rururocks

oh.. here's the adopter of the crazy beagle :D

10:24 am

welki

so far, so good, ori - we've enjoyed our time with family here and have met some really fine local folks (some, who moved here from ny, where i'm from originally)

10:25 am

origami

:D

10:25 am

welki

...so maybe they're not technically 'local folks'

10:26 am

origami

Nice. Looking forward to Wednesday.

10:27 am

welki

we are, too :)

10:36 am
