i nominate a new condition: "Babbler's Syndrome", which is where you see weird words that you don't know the meaning of before you see easy normal words.

7:05 am

sukee

Geez, a week before Christmas and 6 people were shot to death in a condo building near Toronto last night.

Good morning.

good morning

7:50 am

dan2bit

Scrabbs - after nearly 3 years of avoidance, the COVID got me this week. My symptoms are pretty mild, and I'm on a paxlovid course and living my best "basement life" to try to keep it from mrs & miss

7:52 am

dan2bit

3 left, all As

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Dan. The acute SARS-CoV-2 illness is usually mild for vaccinated folks.

7:57 am

dan2bit

yes, I am very grateful to have been "boosted" in September, just rotten timing

7:59 am

Scrabbler

You are not infectious when you have a negative RAT. The 5-day rule from the CDC is dangerous as most people are infectious for 8-10+ days.

8:01 am

dan2bit

thanks! discussed this with my doc, may excuse myself from Christmas brunch with the extended fam.

8:03 am

origami

That's too bad, dan. Hope you're better soon.

8:04 am

dan2bit

finito! my last were an7/8 the two-animals compound word

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Do not exercise for 8 weeks after infection, tp reduce risk of cardiac problems.

8:05 am

dan2bit

no problem :-)

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Congrats, Dan! Please rest up.

8:05 am

dan2bit

yep

8:06 am

dejavu

never heard about no exercise before, what level of activity is ok ?

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Daily life. Exercise increases the risk of myocarditis.

8:09 am

MollyL

Why is that not something commonly stated about COVID? I have never heard it before either.

8:11 am

Scrabbler

The CDC and Dr Jha are not sharing all of the info about Long COVID and Post-COVID complications. They share a sugar-coated version that we have the "tools."

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Or PCID = Post-COVID Immune Dysregulation, likely the cause of recurrent infections after infection.

8:12 am

Scrabbler

After having COVID once, twice, or more times.

8:13 am

bichon

an 7/28, pls

8:14 am

MollyL

Picnic pest + king of the jungle

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Excellent resources = Drs Eric Topol. Anthony Leonardi, Lisa Iannatone, Dr Eric Ding, et al. Epidemiologists and immunologists are screaming the truth that the CDC won't tell us.

9:21 am

sammysmom

Hey all its Walter. I have had Covid twice. I think once you get it you never get rid of it or the side effects......

9:31 am

rururocks

that is scary to read

9:50 am

cherlyq

I have long covid it has messed with my heart and sometimes I feel alot of chest pain and irregular heart beat but they will test me and say its ok and say it is from long covid

9:51 am

cherlyq

My neighbor has had it multiple times and still tests positive too

9:52 am

rururocks

I'm pretty lucky I've managed to avoid it so far. I try to be as careful as possible

9:57 am

cherlyq

I have had it and had shots and boosters and still wear mask too, my immune system is shot as it is ( I have hashimotos disease) so try not to go out much at all

9:58 am

cherlyq

most people around here have stopped wearing masks

9:58 am

rururocks

oh bummer.

9:59 am

rururocks

I know .. I am one of a few people in the store with a mask most days. I'm out in the public a lot but try not to shake hands and keep a little distance. I have given up hope that this thing will ever be conquered with all the anti vaxxers

10:03 am

saanichcat

what is worriesome is what's next

10:07 am

cherlyq

well we have rsv and other respiratory things going through town like crazy besides the flu and strep or sometimes people get both or all three

10:07 am

rururocks

hi saan...thanks for your note

10:11 am

MollyL

Wow, this is a cheery conversation. 😐

10:13 am

rururocks

it's a different world now I guess. It's kind of hard to get in the merry mood this season

10:14 am

saanichcat

good idea, we'll change the subject. how about Elon Musk, ha ha

10:14 am

rururocks

what a little tyrant he's turned out to be. I think he may slowly be losing it?

10:15 am

saanichcat

do you think he ever had it?

10:16 am

rururocks

well he did found a pretty successful car company

10:16 am

rururocks

I think he's weird, odd, eccentric, and a bit nuts though.

10:17 am

saanichcat

on a more positive note, in spite of being snowed in,all is fine.

10:17 am

rururocks

oh good.. it's really cold here.. if it would rain at night I think we'd have snow here

10:17 am

saanichcat

he funded the company, brains from others did the work

10:20 am

saanichcat

do you get snow often, ru?

10:21 am

rururocks

here.. once every thirty years really

10:22 am

saanichcat

wow, an unusual weather event

10:26 am

saanichcat

we had

10:29 am

saanichcat

oops sorry. hope everyone has a good day, bye til tomorrow

ty carla, fw

12:16 pm

hokie carla

well done

12:18 pm

cybernan

I'm confused by the an and ar 7 clues --- are there 3 a 7's? I have an 7= insect + jungle beast.

12:19 pm

cybernan

I can't see how against + charged particle is possible -- there is no against

12:19 pm

hokie carla

yes, the other 2 are the same word except for the 2nd letter

12:19 pm

hokie carla

disregard that clue

12:20 pm

cybernan

so the same has what I have?

12:20 pm

hokie carla

the almost identical 2 look italian

12:21 pm

hokie carla

no, the one you have is unrelated

12:21 pm

cybernan

no - that won't work for the ar

12:21 pm

MollyL

It is not against, it is picnic pest + charged particle

12:21 pm

cybernan

so the agains clue was the only one given and it is wrong

12:22 pm

MollyL

Sorry, picnic pest + king of the jungle

12:22 pm

hokie carla

yeah, she has that one. someone else clued it as against

12:22 pm

cybernan

I have that one molly --- trying to find the ar 7 and the other an 7

12:22 pm

hokie carla

yes, that's why I said disregard it

12:22 pm

MollyL

ar7 is ar + ____ King Cole + not from

12:22 pm

hokie carla

ends in double letter + vowel, hence it looking italian to me

12:23 pm

cybernan

ty -- I swear I tried that an at least half a dozen times and it wasn't accepted

12:24 pm

hokie carla

maybe you were doing double N and single T. I did that at first.

12:25 pm

cybernan

probably

12:25 pm

hokie carla

still stuck on my last 3. R T H

12:26 pm

MollyL

You need two sets of double letters for the other an7

12:32 pm

hokie carla

my H was appalachian english. I'm so ashamed for missing it at first. 2 left

12:36 pm

hokie carla

no idea on the last 2. gonna have to list.

12:36 pm

cherlyq

1:05 pm

cybernan

I am so sick of seeing Harry and Meghan every time I sign on the the internet -- what is it with the American media? They wanted to have their cake and eat it too, they didn't get it, so now they are acting out like a couple of bratty rebellious teenagers. Let's move on and move out!

1:07 pm

MollyL

I am with you Nan. I wish those two would stop getting so much press.

1:07 pm

MollyL

1:38 pm

penquis

hah...i like scallops, too....like just about any seafood that is cooked...

1:39 pm

cybernan

why is it that once I hit the list -- all these words start jumping out at me?

1:39 pm

penquis

my brother cooks scallops in maple syrup and a generous amount of curry powder....surprisingly good....

1:40 pm

penquis

it's called babble blindness....the cure is using the list... ;o)

1:40 pm

cybernan
