12:36 am

dcseain

hi, sprite! i hope you had a good weekend.

12:37 am

sprite

nice and relaxed, how about you?

12:37 am

grannyrose

cooee and *hugs* sprite, seain

12:37 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my sporty friend! :D

12:38 am

dcseain

Saturday, the Smithsonian Institution had a Longest Day Festival with the museums open until 23 and various events, had a lot of fun!

12:38 am

grannyrose

* blinks* thought that was spotty for a second...

12:38 am

sprite

sounds great, seain!

12:38 am

sprite

nah, not spotty, you have an amazing complexion

12:39 am

dcseain

got to hear some modern NE European atonal compositions, for example, that was joyous. so was the pipe organ theremin from Austria. The EU Arts Council was one of the sponsors.

12:39 am

dcseain

hello, rose

12:40 am

grannyrose

*giggles* glad to see you were able to relax sprite. seain, that sounds amazing.

12:40 am

sprite

pretty intense, seain, those atonals.

12:40 am

dcseain

it really was! Though the Hirshhorn — the modern art museum — was VERY crowded. 35min line for the coffee bar.

12:41 am

dcseain

they, are sprite. It was so cool getting to see the techniques used by the both the violin and the cello.

12:41 am

sprite

I never ever want coffee that much, grin.

12:41 am

dcseain

:)

12:41 am

sprite

very interesting, seain. And I love the theramin.

12:42 am

dcseain

i didn’t but the friend i was with did, so stand in queue we did.

12:42 am

grannyrose

seain, you sound like me about the modern ballets. so very different from classical, but so interesting nevertheless.

12:42 am

sprite

the things we do for friendship ;)

12:42 am

dcseain

the Austrian woman who designed it had 8 organ pipes wired as theremin, plus a point where each pipe played a cord, very cool.

12:43 am

sprite

amazing

12:43 am

dcseain

it was her pandemic project, and quite amazing to witness.

12:46 am

dcseain

oh! And misquito-borne dengue fever is now in Florida here in the United States. Learned that today. Yay climate change. :/

12:46 am

sprite

oh that is not good. I hope you are all careful

12:47 am

grannyrose

ugh seain, maybe i'll stay away from there.

12:47 am

dcseain

i live in Virginia, near Washington, DC, likely a few years before it reaches here. I should see what vaccines are available.

12:47 am

grannyrose

is there a vax for dengue fever nowadays i wonder

12:48 am

sprite

three minds same thought. If there are vaxes, get them!

12:49 am

grannyrose

apparently there are two vax's available.

12:49 am

dcseain

There is a vaccine, for 9 to 16 year olds and peoyple living where the virus is known, so at least part of Florida. And it’s effective after diagnosis also. It’s a tetravalante attennuiated virus vaccine.

12:49 am

dcseain

only Dengvaxia here in the US.

12:49 am

sprite

oh, right. I had one of those for breakfast

12:50 am

grannyrose

*giggle* with or without maple syrup?

12:50 am

sprite

they told me maple syrup may lessen the working, so without. But honey is okay.

12:51 am

grannyrose

eggs over easy?

12:51 am

dcseain

oh, interesting re the maple syrup vs the honey. Thou honey has antibacterial properties, unlike maple syrup.

12:51 am

sprite

never eggs with honey. Tsk.

12:51 am

grannyrose

but, but

12:52 am

sprite

exactly, seain!

12:52 am

sprite

don't but me no buts, missy

12:52 am

grannyrose

seain, i just read that the vax is only given after you have caught the disease, not as a preventative. how strange!

12:53 am

sprite

is it called a vaccination then anyway? Or just a cure?

12:53 am

dcseain

yes, i read about it at the CDC website. I thought strange also, but unless i’m travelling, i’m not eligible.

12:54 am

dcseain

the vaccine is administered as a cure, so yes a cure, if with the vaccine.

12:54 am

dcseain

the ts words brought to mind the dengue fever news.

12:55 am

sprite

funny. So they use the same stuff as a vax and a cure? Pretty good stuff.

12:55 am

grannyrose

AND it only last 2-4 months, then you are unprotected.

12:55 am

sprite

giggle, I thought that was the link indeed

12:55 am

sprite

and that from the woman who told me I am never unprotected!

12:55 am

dcseain

oh, goodness. I guess that’s the why 9 to 16 year olds for the vaccine. maybe it’s different in that age window.

12:56 am

dcseain

I am up to date on vaccines; recently got Hep A and B vaccines. The B injection was sore for days. Large dose that vaccine.

12:56 am

grannyrose

w..e..l....l

12:57 am

grannyrose

ooh, you all just reminded me i have to ring my gp re my covid vax. they had run out a few weeks ago when i was in.

12:57 am

dcseain

at age 23 i had to get a new MMR vaccine, as i was originally vaccinated with a faulty vaccine

12:57 am

sprite

fireflies. Easypeasy today.

12:57 am

dcseain

congrats, sprite

12:57 am

grannyrose

8:23 am

MollyL

st6 does not spell miserable. 😊

8:26 am

Shirlockc

i heard a news piece that hot weather makes you stupider, i feel that

8:53 am

hokie carla

just back from a walk. 76F with 77% humidity. most was in the shade but winston & I are still dying.

8:53 am

hokie carla

but how not stupid is this - first col gray! 🤣

8:54 am

mael

hi hokie :)

8:55 am

hokie carla

mael!

8:55 am

mael

just dropped the kids off for the first day of summer camp, yay

8:56 am

BzznBea

I was supposed to have my dl renewed this morning. Closed for mantenance.

8:56 am

MollyL

Summer camp is good times.

8:56 am

hokie carla

that's annoying, bea

8:57 am

mael

I wish I could go to summer camp

8:57 am

hokie carla

yay, mael

8:57 am

MollyL

Shirl, I always feel like I'm moving in slow motion when it's this hot

8:57 am

BzznBea

Most certainly! And you can't make another appointment.

8:57 am

hokie carla

why would they make appts and then close?

8:57 am

hokie carla

and why can't you make another? too far out?

8:58 am

BzznBea

Yes, they are booked 90 days out.

8:58 am

hokie carla

I've probably said it here before but SC DMV is way superior to NC DMV

8:59 am

BzznBea

REAL driver's licenses are ridiculous.

8:59 am

hokie carla

just found the st6 shirl was talking about

9:00 am

hokie carla

do you have one already or renewing and doing that at the same time?

9:00 am

Shirlockc

that's a low bar for comparison DMVs

9:00 am

mael

sorry bea, that's such a hassle

9:00 am

mael

20 left, quick so far!

9:00 am

Shirlockc

in zootopia, there's a scene where the DMV person was a sloth and it was so funny

9:00 am

BzznBea

I need to renew.

9:01 am

mael

it was the truest scene in that movie

9:01 am

BzznBea

Last time I did it on line. But you can only do that once.

9:01 am

Shirlockc

so ... very ... true ...

9:01 am

hokie carla

when we moved here we were in and out of the DMV in one hour with new REAL ID's (actual permanent card, not a paper temp one) and new license plates and registrations (also permanent and not temporary)

9:02 am

hokie carla

that scene with the sloth in zootopia had me LOLing so hard and my kids were like, what is wrong with you

9:02 am

mael

we found an RMV a few towns over that works great here in MA, which is a treat

9:02 am

hokie carla

this was before they had stepped into a DMV

9:02 am

mael

I'm going to have to go soon to switch car ownership with my husband and that's gonna be fun

9:02 am

hokie carla

actually it was 2016, so the oldest had been in a DMV

9:07 am

rururocks

why is that mael.. don't you both own the car?

9:10 am

mael

he owned one car and I owned the other, but we traded mine in for a car he wanted to buy so he got that title

9:10 am

mael

so my car, the one I drive, is technically in his name only

9:10 am

mael

so I currently have zero cars

9:10 am

mael

which is fine, I guess, but it's always a pain when we need to do anything

9:13 am

mael

E5 is my last word, from the middle E. Hmmm

9:14 am

rururocks

rhymes with enjoy

9:14 am

mael

ah ha! thanks ru!
