hello all
8:22 am
rururocks
hi lindy.. settling in now for the most part?
8:22 am
aslindy
yes, getting there. finally got a real bed in our actual bedroom on Friday. today we are looking for family room furniture.
8:27 am
rururocks
wow.. it's taking a long time ... must be exhausting
8:30 am
aslindy
indeed. decision fatigue every day - "where should I keep this item" all the time. plus I've been sick off and on since the end of September. :(
8:31 am
rururocks
yeah I've read that.. sick with what?
8:32 am
aslindy
First I had covid, then allergies, then a cold, then sinus infection & ear infection. I'm mostly better now but there's still fluid in my ear and I can't hear well in that ear. I'm ready to be healthy again!
8:34 am
rururocks
oh wow.. sounds terrible
8:34 am
aslindy
I haven't had so many sick days in probably 6 or 8 years combined!
8:34 am
rururocks
I finally caught covid for the first time this last summer
8:35 am
rururocks
yeah me too I'm rarely sick
8:35 am
aslindy
this was the first time I'd had it, too. thankfully nothing has been serious, but I've been exhausted all the time.
8:36 am
rururocks
that could also be from all the stress of moving too
8:36 am
MollyL
Lindy sounds like me at the beginning of the year. I had COVID, shingles and my thyroid removed all in the first three months.
8:36 am
aslindy
yes, I'm sure. thankfully, I have not been having migraines, which is a huge relief. my tracker says 65 days which seems like a miracle.
8:37 am
aslindy
that really sounds miserable, molly. I hope you are all well now!
8:37 am
rururocks
good god it sounds like a medical drama around here
8:37 am

ru, just curious, i had the booster for covid, my wife got covid, i did not get it, she skipped the booster for some unknown reason
8:39 am
rururocks
oh I've had all the boosters wingding... we all got sick on the trip in scotland (4 of us babblers) and thankfully it was the "flirt" covid which went away in a few days
8:39 am
aslindy
when my sister had shingles a few years ago, it was on her face and in her eye. at first they thought it was pink eye. it has affected her eye health and it's still not back to normal. :(
8:39 am
rururocks
two of the four had on-going complications.. I did just fine like a bad cold
8:40 am
wingding
seems unfair, after a booster, to still get it, but, i got it in '22 when i missed my booster
8:40 am
wingding
seems unfair, after a booster, to still get it, but, i got it in '22 when i missed my booster
8:41 am
rururocks
the boosters don't prevent anything, just helps you not to get really sick once you've contracted the virus
8:42 am
aslindy
my daughter had covid last november, she has had asthma forever and it's really affected her lungs. she has long covid, still, and is doing pulmonary therapy which is helping. she was laid off work since she was always too exhausted.
8:43 am
rururocks
bummer.. long covid is scary
8:44 am
wingding
i pray this covid goes away for awhile .. i enjoy not having to wear a mask anymore ... i see very few masks in the store when i shop
8:45 am
rururocks
stay away from airports and crowded grocery stores this holiday season.. that's my plan
8:46 am
wingding
i despise airports .. i travel by car
8:47 am

greetings word nerds!
7:55 pm
hurshy
i'm just currently catching up on the doctor who
7:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
hi hurshy!
7:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(no points for hangry LOL)
7:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
who, me, jealous?
7:56 pm
hurshy
have you seen the latest season?
7:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yes, but it was a mighty struggle
8:01 pm
hurshy
i just finished Dot and Bubble and ok, was it a little close to Black Mirror for comfort? yes maybe
8:01 pm
hurshy
but still really good
8:02 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
test
8:06 pm
hurshy
oh man, we can't have jo5ing either
8:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
my connection was hung up
8:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i loved Dot and Bubble; just watched it again the other day
8:14 pm
hurshy
i feel like it was one of the darkest eps ever
8:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
dark but fascinating
8:15 pm
hurshy
far too believable
8:16 pm
hurshy
so now i'm in the bridgerton one and i like this Rogue fellow so far, he kinda reminds me of Jack Harkness
8:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
well, people are so "connecting" they really do walk into poles, and can't go anywhere without GPS, and tuff like that
8:16 pm
hurshy
yeah but not just that...
8:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
"Connected" i mean
8:17 pm
hurshy
do you know about the Holodomor
8:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
nope, and never seen Bridgerton either, but I can sure guess what it must be like
8:18 pm
hurshy
ok so the Holodomor was the famine in Ukraine 1932-3 caused by Stalin taking all the food they grew
8:19 pm
hurshy
there was some cannibalism that happened
8:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yes, heard of the ukraine famine
8:20 pm
hurshy
and one of the things mentioned by survivors was that the best people died first. they would let others have the bits of food they could find. they would refuse to eat dead people.
8:20 pm
hurshy
and it just got me thinking and really stuck with me... what if anytime there is a crisis and serious survival situation, the best of us die and the worst of us are the ones who carry on and reproduce further
8:21 pm
hurshy
and the way she just turned the Dot on Ricky September...
8:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
"devolution"
8:21 pm
hurshy
it reminded me of that
8:21 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
dark all right
8:22 pm
hurshy
and then lied about it so coolly
8:23 pm
hurshy
you know what else it reminds me of, CS Lewis' book The Great Divorce
8:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i notice that the actor playing her kept her eyes wide open all the time, like being fake happy all the time, which is creepy somehow, but also like she's so deep in fantasy world she doesn't grasp that other people are real, not just characters in a game
8:23 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i notice that the actor playing her kept her eyes wide open all the time, like being fake happy all the time, which is creepy somehow, but also like she's so deep in fantasy world she doesn't grasp that other people are real, not just characters in a game
8:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(keyboard hiccupping again)
8:24 pm
hurshy
yeah well it makes sense, given that if something is unpleasant she (and most of the others i guess) just block it or turn it off
8:26 pm
hurshy
i think Lewis was tempted by the universalism of George MacDonald, but he kinda kept a reservation in The Great Divorce... that heaven will do absolutely anything to save anyone, but ultimately if someone refuses ... the one thing God won't do is force them
8:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oooh, tempted by universalism? what a scandal! (joking; I happen to be a universalist) (the modern kind)
8:27 pm
hurshy
and it's still too believable that rich white kids could still be racist in the future
8:28 pm
hurshy
i'm a universalist too... i mean... sort of
8:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we have so much effing racism it is effing pathetic
8:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
past the halfway point woot
8:38 pm
hurshy
i gotta say it would be TERRIBLY convenient to have the TARDIS beam dance moves directly into your body
8:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
sure would improve my boggling LOL
8:41 pm
hurshy
oh dearie me
8:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
last column greyed out, woot
8:44 pm
hurshy
oh yeah me too, too wrapped up in the show to notice
8:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, i could never play boggle (or anything ditracting0 while the Doctor is saving the universe -- unless it's a rerun I've already seen 20 times LOL
8:46 pm
hurshy
well i'm just so busy these days i HAVE to multitask
8:48 pm
hurshy
i still have all my other games to play too, gah
8:52 pm
hokie carla
rehi, did you find my missing upper T?
