72 Temple Owl
hello scrabbler
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
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
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
8:33 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.
8:42 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
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?
9:16 am

Pedantry is definitely your look

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

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.

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! :(

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.
