72 Temple Owl

hello scrabbler

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

planning any adventures soon?

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yes, hiking in the Catskill Mtns in a few days.

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

i love the catskills. lower part, lots of caves and springs

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Cool.

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

i am unwell and contemplating a covid test. this is getting so old...

8:19 am

Scrabbler

It's best to test on days 4-7 of an illness when the viral load is highest. The virus is here to stay and to mutate.

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

yes but i don't want to miss duties because of allergies or common illness. i don't even know what to do anymore. sore throat is always a BAD sign.

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I always wear a N95 when indoors. If you do this and if you are infected you will protect others. Testing is never a bad decision.

8:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a full schedule for the next week including a dinner for which i have paid $50

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

and working at a convention. i worked at an event on Saturday last. big crowd but in an armory, lots of headroom for air.

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

on a bright note re catskills, one of my fondest memories of childhood is visitng catskill game farm. goats drinking out of the water fountains!

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Protect yourself. Being disabled with Long COVID is a terrible consequence.

8:26 am

mael

I'm sorry! worth mentioning that strep is going around like wildfire in my part of the world

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

i have never had strep as far as i know. i thought you need to be around kids to get it?

8:27 am

mael

it's more common in kids but this particular strain has been infecting parents too

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Strep has been rampant. COVID is causing immune dysregulation and people can't deal with common infections anymore, e.g. Strep, ear infections, pneumonia.

8:28 am

mael

I'm heading in for a strep test at 11 because my daughter has it and my throat is sore too now

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Kids are the vectors for many infections.

8:28 am

mael

kids are not good about not putting their hands right in their mouth

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Poor parents catch everything from their kids.

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

last time i had a sore throat it was covid. any time before it was eithr reflux or a bad resp virus with cough

8:29 am

mael

I've managed to not catch strep from my daughter for 10 years (and she was the kid who got her tonsils out because she caught strep so often) but here we are

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

and a rare occurrence for me

8:29 am

mael

it's weird, TO, because I get a sore throat every time I get a cold

8:29 am

mael

it's actually how I know I'm about to get a cold...

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Yes, throat pain is typically the start of a cold.

8:30 am

mael

and I did have a sore throat when I had covid too but that one felt different

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

allergies are rampant now. EVERY pollen count is at highest levels, even mold, weird because it's been dry here

8:31 am

mael

that too

8:31 am

mael

but flonase helps with that

8:31 am

mael

and eye drops

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, when i got covid i knew before testing, it was not very bad but very different.

8:31 am

MollyL

Most of the people in my office look like they are stoned due to the high pollen counts.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

omg it is awful, i am walking indoors at the y after class

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i may try to walk with a mask later

8:32 am

mael

good idea

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

and the mowing and yardwork...it is due for a mow again.

8:33 am

mael

I thought my sore throat was allergies until my kid tested positive for strep, so we'll see. I could tell she had strep because I've had a LOT of practice there, mom intuition continues to bat 100

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

doctor won't see anyone with this symptom unless tested negative

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Good, mael.

8:34 am

mael

her tell tale sign is nausea

8:35 am

MollyL

I think it is great for doctors that they can "see" patients via Zoom now. It probably keeps them healthier.

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

it sounds awful, mael.

8:36 am

MollyL

Ooo, that is the serious kind of strep

8:36 am

MollyL

What is it called...invasive strep?

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Invasive Strep is pneumonia and sepsis or necrotizing fasciitis. High mortality rate.

8:39 am

hurshy

oh dear

8:42 am

rururocks

sepsis is really dangerous

8:44 am

hurshy

but sometimes people are just weird, maybe mael's daughter gets the nausea without it actually being invasive strep

8:45 am

rururocks

here's hoping that is what it is

8:46 am

hurshy

ttfn

8:46 am

Scrabbler

People with invasive Strep are critically ill. Globally there has been more invasive Strep due to immunosuppression caused by COVID. It's scary.

8:47 am

SamanthaJoy

I've had a mild cold for the last two weeks and y'all have me thinking I was at death's door

8:47 am

mael

nah, my daughter has regular strep. Kids just present with it differently sometimes. She never had a sore throat when she had it as a toddler, just nausea and a rash

8:47 am

rururocks

I've never had strep I've had sore throats and bad colds though. Never caught covid yet either

8:48 am

mael

invasive strep is still rare, you'll know if you have that because you will be SICK, not just feeling poorly

8:49 am

BzznBea

we caught a nasty virus in stl.first time i have had anything like that in over 10 years.

8:50 am

rururocks

yeah.. viruses can happen at any time.. last time I had a virus I was really down for the count

8:52 am

MollyL

This place gets so caught up in talking about illness

8:54 am

rururocks

well... it is a part of life I guess.

8:55 am

rururocks

I can't talk about Cats

8:57 am

MollyL

Oh I'll take illness over cats anytime.

8:57 am

MollyL

And yes, cats is not a safe subject for you.

8:58 am

SamanthaJoy

Those of us who are allergic to cats can combine the topics

8:58 am

mael

ooh I am a cat person

8:58 am

mael

but don't need to talk about cats

8:59 am

mael

unless we're talking about Cats the musical in which case it made me cry in middle school

8:59 am

SamanthaJoy

The movie can make you cry too, but probably for different reasons

9:00 am

mael

didn't watch it because yikes

9:00 am

mael

i don't need uncanny valley felines in my life

9:13 am

SamanthaJoy

I've got one word left. It's a G7. Any one know what it is?

9:15 am

MollyL

Yep

9:16 am

SamanthaJoy

Pedantry is definitely your look

9:19 am

LuvWordGames

I know it's a go 7/40 but I don't have it yet

9:22 am

SamanthaJoy

Thanks, Luv, that was enough. Got it.

9:33 am

rururocks

I can't tell if that's a joke or just a rude comment.

9:35 am

MollyL

Really? I could tell.

9:35 am

rururocks

could be either way.. but it seemed rude

9:35 am

MollyL

Considering what was said about Ruby, I'm not surprised.

10:01 am

rururocks

oh ok.. off to get to work. have a good day molly

10:38 am

BzznBea

clue for the en7 please?

12:10 pm

penquis

i always thought the idea of the PB was fun....

12:10 pm

hokie carla

yeah, who cares. if you can't find the four letter words like pen & I just posted, then you've got bigger problems with this game.

12:11 pm

penquis

too true....it's just something that's easy to do accidentally...

12:11 pm

MollyL

It was fun. And they made a whole big deal out of what a cool place it was with drinks and snacks and Cabana boys.

12:13 pm

hokie carla

1:02 pm

ch1212

point taken, hurshy. I've learned to ask myself, "Why am I so bothered when other people don't behave the way I want them to?" Yet, despite knowing why I do that, there are times when I still do it! :(

1:04 pm

hokie carla

rehi - pen, I'll take those guesses if you're still here

1:04 pm

ch1212

1:06 pm

hokie carla

ah, the oi, thanks

1:06 pm

hurshy

for R maybe the rh animal

1:06 pm

ch1212

It probably has more to do with the fact we are getting a new fence installed, and the sounds the workmen make keeps me on edge.

1:06 pm

hurshy

for t, te5/12 babblet

1:06 pm

hokie carla

duh, I even typed the river and didn't see the animal

1:07 pm

hurshy

ch1212

he 7 is the he6 with an extra vowel

2:03 pm

MollyL

go7 sounds like a sexually transmitted disease

2:03 pm

hokie carla

I was going to guess earlier it was a hormone and then eventually found out it was a plant

2:04 pm

ch1212
