workcover have approved the trial of a nerve stimulator for the pain in my right knee.
Granny - that's terrific! Hope that it works wonders for you! Knee pain can be the worst!
thanx mama
the nerve pain is from a trapped nerve in the suture line from my knee replacement.

can i have a clue for the ta 5 , 16
Start with the first three of sticky candy, end with the last two of Ave Mar....
Good morning, Molly. Almost the weekend!
I'm ready : D
morning all! corners done
What's up in Bea's world?
Morning 2Bit
Same as every day...
Morning, Dan. I haven't got to the bottom E yet...
Now I have. =)
:-)
I've been reading about how Fall TV shows (if they ever start filming) are going to incorporate COVID into their story lines. Great. What I watch to escape is going to feature what I'm trying to escape from.
I'm hoping to watch tv after November.
I hope all our players in the Gulf Coast area are safe. Sounds like that hurricane is high force.
My daughter's school district has had teachers doing professional evelopment for the last 2-3 weeks. Yesterday, all their second grade teachers had to be quarentined as they all were together and one tested positive.
I need to go look...
Dan, needlecase alert...
Yeah, I have a feeling that all the schools trying to have "regular" school are going to have episodes of the same thing.
My county is still doing "virtual learning" through the first semester. I can't even imagine what "virtual kindergarten" is like.
thanks Bea! no volcano today though :-)
Our school district is going to attempt in person - but the honest hope is just that we can get 2-3 weeks in before we go back to virtual. This will allow teachers a chance to connect with the students and also to show them how virtual instruction will actually work. I think we all realize it will be virtual sooner or later
That is too bad. I think everyone is tired of "virtual" living. Especially the kids.
I think a lot of school districts are thinking the same thing.
ty Molly :)
I wonder what the big push is for remote learning?
I'm not sure I understand that question. Remote learning is going on due to COVID.
yeah i get that, schools are planning this for the long term future etc, i dont think its good for children to be less social, tactile etc. its not healthy
I agree, M3. But it is also not healthy for them to get COVID. Hopefully, the spread will lessen, a vaccine will prove effective and life can get on.
just found the as7, and am astounded, yes ASTOUNDED that I can't add a suffix. though I had a 9 (not noticing that there wasn't a 9 today)
LOL!
*thought*
Good Morning, Harry,
How is college daughter doing?
hello bea. I'm on my way into school in a minute. just stopped by to get some words
she's still there! hasn't escaped yet
=)
Wear your HazMat suit Harry : D
one of my colleagues had a heart attack on Monday. In school.
Oh no! Hope they are recovering.
Yes she's doing well
she was all stressed out, and had chosen that morning to bike in to work for the first time ever
ok first pass done. 83 to go. I really must run. hagd all
Geez Harry, sorry to hear that. As if life isn't depressing enough these days.
Good morning, all. Glad to hear your collegue is on the mend, Harry. Geesh. Proof that being healthy can be dangerous.
Morning, Judi.
Don't forget Jim Fixx.
I'd be pissed if that happened to me. I'd be saying, "well, damned if I do".
Time for a break. 79 left.
Molly, both storms skated by us with no adverse outcomes but Louisiana got slammed. I think this was their worst hurricane, ever (definitely near the top of the list, anyway). I looked at it yesterday and it was just growing (like Katrina did). I'm sure much damage but have not heard of any fatalities, I think a lot of folks evacuated. I'm sure Texas took their share but the NE side of the storm is where all of the power is at, NW usually winds and rain. I'm sure we'll be hearing about damage once the dang thing subsides (think still Cat 2 going thru LA? unless my info is outdated).
Thanks for the update amelu.
Also, our kids went back to school Aug 6th, masks and distancing required all day. They do a temp check upon school entry and get sent home if running fever. Naturally, there will be a case here or there but so far, so good. We also have the shipyard here (which employs 20K folks from LA to FL and a couple of counties north of the coast, not to mention the contractors that come in from other states) and trust me when I tell you, those folks working in 110+ heat are not going to wear a mask all day. They also get heat scanned when they walk through the gate/into the offices and denied access if running temp.
yw, Bea.
Oh, I forgot to mention, "essential employees"
Wow, parts of Louisiana never got over Katrina. That is sad news.

bbl for last 58 - HAGD all and stay safe
Molly, Katrina's eye hit Hancock County, MS, at category 5 contrary to popular belief. LA was on the NW side of her. NOLA's ill maintained levees broke, which is what caused the flooding there (the city is below sea level, after all). Google MS gulf coast after Katrina images if you want a visual. NOLA got all of the attention because they were the ones crying about it, MS folks pulled up the bootstraps and started clearing roads, helping friends, neighborhood feeds (everyone who wasn't flooded lost power so freezers needed to be emptied), doing everything we could to help others. I have quite a few friends who basically had to rebuild their homes because of flooding due to storm surge (which, by the way, insurance fought saying they didn't have wind/flood insurance (because it wasn't a requirement for the sea level they are at) and wouldn't rule it as storm surge). My heart goes out to the LA/TX folks over Laura, we still have areas along the coast that haven't recovered, I know they're going to still be feeling the aftereffects 15+ year from now. (Katrina's 15 year anniversary is Saturday) Oh, and no connection with anyone locally, problems with cell towers, but we could text people in other states, lol. Good times.
If you look and see the misc orange 'graffiti', that's how 1st responders/national guard identified that structure/vehicle had been searched already (for bodies or survivors, including pets).
good morning everyone - sorry to hear about the hurricanes -- I guess I will have to turn the news on -- have had 3 lovely days with no Trump and no Covid
*falls in* Hi, All. Please stay safe those in the paths of the Hurricanes
Live in the serene lane Nan, leave the news off
i read that this was a pretty big hurricane and the closest thing in size to it dates back to the 1800's
Speaking of news, Amelu's reports about Katrina show just how skewed the news is. I never heard a thing about Mississippi, only Louisana.
I don't think I realized how stressed out I was about everything until I turned it off, Molly
parts of texas got hit hard too No?
It really is stress producing Nan. And most of what you hear about on the news, well, there is little you can do to change it.
exactly!
I know this current hurricane has hit Texas. Not sure about Katrina.
Yes.. i guess New Orleans did grab all the headlines...but it was sure a mess there too. I believe amelu about the levees
Certain things were not built with a lot of forethought as to storm damage. Look at New York City. Who thought putting all that concrete and rebar on a little island like space was a good idea?
Bad thing about the levees was that there had been a ton of research because of their age on what would happen with a large storm (I want to say some were written in the '70s but I can't find them, now, imagine that) and recommendations to the Corp of Engineers that they needed to update the existing ones... No one listened.
But, here, pretty much everything from Hwy 90 south was wiped out and in Harrison/Hancock counties it went to I-10. Looked like we'd been nuked.
i was just reading how the federal government is now looking at relocating some communities instead of trying to protect them from flooding, an idea once considered too radical.
but it didn't specify places
Could I have the stats for the lone top row r please
NM found it

Thank you all.... Hey, Une! Had me an ultrasound last week. Not fab results
Sorry to hear :-(
I have a polyp in my uterus, needs an operation to get rid.
is it something that is health/life threatening? (I hate surgeries/procedures, lol)
It's giving me 2 surfs of the crimson wave a month amelu, and onset of menopause (I had no crimson surf for 4 months, then 2 surfs a month for 5 months so far.
Carla, I used to do it that way but I think I'm becoming more and more like my mother by the year instead of my dad, lol.
Not sure you can but have you asked about ablation? That was a godsend for me.
Had an ablation some years ago
Righty, does anyone need clues before I poof?
