Switching back and forth from Babble to tennis tournament in Barcelona!
Rafa is playing?
Tsitsipas right now, then Rafa :-)

Did I ever tell you that I played high school and college tennis?
Wow, I had to look that name up. I assume the beginning T is silent?
No....wow!
I played tennis from 8-50, then "retired" when it wasn't fun anymore.
Molly it's pronounced like the fly
Impressive! My mom was the tennis player in our family :-)
I still cannot believe that I lost interest, but I became more focused on hiking and backpacking. I need to be in the forest now and not the tennis court.
Ah, nature!!! :-)
Did you finish?
My daughter's raising quite the outdoorsman.....at age 2 he already loves hiking and camping :-)
Not finished yet....

And to live in Maine is a dream!
TY, eliot, I needed that one.

And, good morning!
'morning, babblers
Hi welki

Hey welki!
morning welk.
Fw!!
*hoot*hoot* Hi Owl
Yay Une!
hi scrabbler
:-)
i have FB question.
cr 6/24, pls
Plural of the 5
ty gramma, thought I had tried that
Hi all.
what's the question, owl?
hi mkg
Good morning, mkg.
Hey mkg :-)
Scrabs, Is it true that 12 y.o.s will be able to get the vaccine by the end of the summer?
nice up6 word today
Maybe sooner. Pfizer has applied for approval for 12-15 years old.
Yeah, that takes care of the grands
Any clue for that up 6 word hurshy?
I want babies and kids immunized ASAP.
Question is what to do with smaller ones i guess.
can't wait for little kids to be eligible too
Parliament was in an up6 when ending slavery was first proposed
I have a 7 and 5 year old and and waiting until 2022 is going to be nerve wracking
And I do expect CoV vaccines to be required for school enrollment. We need this.
what difference does it make if vaccinated people. liek those int he nursing home down south, are still infacted and worse yets, asymptomatically?
Super clue. Ty. Got it.
Because immunized people will not get seriously ill or die even if infected.
Wasted double Ds in grid. Too bad.
I hope they'll be required. The flu vaccine was required for school enrollment this year in MA (not just public school, all schools including day cares and at home)
but if asymptomatic,because of the mild case, they will spread it.
and our flu cases were almost non-existent, though masks helped with that too obviously
I did not know that, mael. The flu vaccine is optional here in NY.
I wish they would test for antibodies. There are likely many who dont know they had covid. And we are wasting vaccines on them.
and have no idea. and it will never end.
Small kids are usually asymptomatic too......
Flu vaccine optiional everywhere.
Owl, that is the nature of the virus, but immunized folks are protected. The unimmunized are at high risk.
it's not usually mandated but it was this year
and I was very glad for it
Also there are adults who cant get vaccinated. My friend has so many terrible illnesses her MD said she should not get vaccinated.
mkg, immunity after illness is temporary, maybe 3 mo, so they still need a vaccine.
Oh. Ok.
if not protected from infection, how can you call that protection>
and that's why everyone who CAN get vaccinated should be, to protect those who can't be
Owl, because the vaccines prevent hospitalization and death.
it's, at the very least, protection from SEVERE infection. Which is the goal.
a friend finally got her long haul trucker the J&J. three days later he became il.. she had to do the whole quarantine thing as well.
My husband had covid last may and stil has very high antibodies. He got first vaccine and got very very ill from it. So all the MDs he works with at NIH decided he should not get second vaccine.
well yeah, three days in you are not protected at all
ooh, fancy cr8 word!
They told him that the first vaccine is enough for him with his very high antibodies.
scrabbler, no one knows what the effects of this virus wil be despitethe course of the disease.
hello
I must get ready for a day of hiking. ENjoy the day.
and if the symptoms developed three days after the shot it is incredibly likely that they were infected before they even got the vaccine
No one knows much at this point. In 5 years they will know a lot i guess
Enjoy hiking
ywah, the cr8 is a great word
Owl, the virus is nasty, nasty.
Cant find R word bottom row R. Any hints and stats? Ty
yes. symptoms or not. no telling.
it's ro7/36
superlative
mkg, you just take the c off the cr8
Ty but dont have the cr 8 yet either. Looking.
cr8 is a casino employee
Ty. Looking
Got it but never heard of that word before. Ty.

Yaaa! I finally get my first COVID shot today!! It is will be of the AstraZeneca variety, and I have no reservations whatsoever, given the 1/100,000 odds of a potential blot clot. I stand better odds of getting run over by a car stepping out my door this morning, so bring it on. With our ICU beds overflowing, and hospitals transferring patients all over just to find a bed, and all hospitals on the cusp of emergency triage measures, I will not be choosy when it comes to what type of vaccine I get.
got my 2nd moderna yesterday. not doing great right now but hoping to feel better soon. like you, I would have taken any of them. good luck!
'
Sorry to iintrude on your conversation Carla, but I took 1st Moderna and was sore and tired for about 10 days. I heard 2nd was worse bur I must have been given a placebo, my 2nd didn't bother me at all.
yeah, it's kinda random how the 2nd affects people. my son got his yesterday too but I haven't seen him yet this morning to see how he is. one of my brothers had no side effects on 2nd shot at all.
Funny how that works! Or not so funny to some.
yep
There has been such a surge in demand for a timely vaccine that our province of British Columbia is running out of AstraZeneca. As it turns out, the U.S is sitting on a stockpile of unwanted or unapproved AstraZeneca, and our P.M is actively trying to secure a supply while it is still fit to use.
crossy, i believe all 6 people who got those blood clots were women, so they're wondering if this is a gendered problem, which means you'd have even less to worry about
I had read a few weeks ago that we were giving them to canada and mexico
The chemo drugs I had years ago (Cisplatin) stood more of a chance of killing me that this vaccine does.
i'm sure that is true!
yeah, there is a much much higher chance of getting struck by lightning
i mean, they don't even know for sure that those blood clots WERE connected to the vaccine, so
I just cannot take the chance. I am an essential service employee in the food service industry. As such 2000-3000 untested customers come through our doors every single day. We cannot temp check them, we cannot ask them if they are coming from a "hot zone." I think I am getting my shot just in time, as this "third wave" is set to be terrible.
*hugs* to you crossy
hallo
Even at 25% capacity, we still have to let up to 165 costumers in at a time. :( That is the negative part of a giant "big-box" store.
Howdy Harry
I have a cr8 and a de8, and all 3 7s. Anybody know my missing 8?
hey crossy

27 to go here. I'm procrastinating calling the mother of a difficult student.
zecco - the unknown 6th marx brother
He rescinded some of the more questionable ones, Cybernan, such as police being allowed to do random stops to check for COVID compliance, and the closure of pubic parks.
He is walking a fine line between public safety and keeping businesses and jobs alive.
i don't understand why it's taking Canada so long to get vaccines rolling
wondered after reading your comments. Everyone has to wear masks in stores here and no indoor eating -- not even at costco. Indoor tasting at wineries also closed. And no non-essential travel outside each health authority. We are supposedly getting more travel retrictions today. This is all in effect until after the May long weekend.
We are far behind the curve in comparison to the U.S. :(
We have no indoor eating at all, no gyms, no hairstylists, etc.
I think we have 22% of the population with the first vaccine done at this time.
yesterday we banned all flights inbound from India.
There are a couple of reasons ru - the main ones being we don't manufacture vaccines here, so we are dependent on getting them from other countries -- mainly UK and India and some from the US. Also we are more sparsely populated, so accessibility and storage is a problem.
well then India will get even with you with Robo calls telling you your credit card has illegal charges on it
They are dealing with a mutation OF a mutation at this time
20 to go. bbl - hagd all.
ripe
Dang it!!! Sorry.
Also - we cannot have drive through vaccination centres like they did in CA (too cold) and vaccinations other than astra zeneca are not being distributed to drug stores.
I'd say poor planning then on your health system's part
They already drive us crazy anytime we need tech support from any U.S electronics company--not much will change Ruru.
yes, our government dropped the ball on this, and only now are we just beginning to see some hope.
Are you getting your shot at a drugstore or a clinic crossy?
I'm mean if you're in groceries and literally interacting with the public (mostly unvaccinated) and you're a critical worker, getting it now is really, really late.
the BC gov't has been on top of this from the beginning, but you can only do so much with what you are given. Our biggest problem is convincing the tourists to stay home. The vaccine roll out here has been age based after health care workers and nursing home residents.
we're vaccinating 16 year olds now in the USA. Biden has really done a great job on getting this out
easier to do when you have the vaccine.
soon it will be 12 y.o.'s
i am trying to convince my nephews to get their vaccines.. they are reluctant to do it. Probably based on what they've read in chat rooms or something
We have been held up for a week at a time twice now because we had no vaccine coming in.
same with my niece, ruru
I told them that they are risking damaging their health for the rest of their lives.
her brother got his the day he turned 16 in Apr, but he was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the last year.
As Nan said, keep tourists from travelling has been an issue, as well as supply.
don't you wish you could shake some sense into them? Social media has been a great disservice through this whole thing.
I remember reading a delicious phrase where a scientist was bemoaning the ability of people 'unencumbered by expertise' to sound off on social media.
too bad the social media posters probably don't understand the phrase "unencumbered by expertise"
I so agree with that Nan.. I was just incredulously looking at my nephew
That's true, nan, but I do like it.
My sister-in -law has had to watch several Covid patients say goodbye to their loved one via video chat, there was no hesitation in my mind when the shot became available to those over 55
I have been saying for years that social media will be the downfall of society. It started way before this.
yes, my shot is at a drug store.
I am having cataracts removed in a couple of months, so had to go for related eye scans yesterday. The clinic of course insists on all the coviid protocols, takes temps, as you go in - the whole nine yards. The technician (a woman in her 30's) ,whose mask was hanging below her nose most of the time, infomed me when I asked her to pull it up that she didn't believe in masks and because she has asthma they bothered her. Then proceded to tell me that she thought masks were an infringement of her rights and privacy. Following which she proceded to tell me about a wine tasting tour to the south end of the valley she and her friends were planning for this weekend. I was cooped up in a tiny office with no ventillation with this woman for at least 3/4 of an hour. I still feel like reporting her.
I would.
I am asthmatic, and have to wear a mask non-stop for eight hours a day.
Chiming in - I would report her nan. She shouldn't be in that line of work if she isn't willing to follow safety protocols - whether she believes in them or not.
I would too.. especially to the doctor
There is the rub -- won't see the doctor again until the day of the surgery (in June)
The only think that makes me feel better is that I know they are being checked for symptoms all the time as well, but stil....
help with the DE and RO 7s?
ro 7: leave the first letter off the casino worker
i wouldn't have stayed nan i would have left the room
The casino worker eludes me. Have no idea.
Thought about it, ru - but I need the surgery and I didn't want to cause a ruckus.
add a letter before the ro 7, crossy....

You are fortunate that the surgery is still happening, cybernan. here all non-essential surgeries have been cancelled for now.
*cr 8
they are here too, crossy -- having it done at a private clinic.
Nan is essential Crossy. :D
I thought that was the person that does roulette or craps, but that's neither here nor there.
it is an easy procedure, cybernan, as long as the cataracts are not "to ripe." 20 minutes in and out and the results are instantaneous. My beloved had hers done a decade ago.
Yes, she is, Ruru. :)
not seeing the pe8 either
think feet and shape... ;o)

10 to go. classtime.
proper noun -- old time TV host
guess everyone here is too young to remember Bennett Cerf
back for last 14 following breakfast
Never heard of Bennett Cerf! Canadian???
also never herad of him
should I know this M?
nm
quick Wiki lookup -- panelist on What's My Line. Not Canadian! Yep, before my time. I'm a TV buff but I don't know who would have been on What's My Line.
no - not the host - he was on the panel of What's My Line along with Arlene Francis and Dorothy Killgalen. John DAly was the host.
That brings back old memories
There was a similar program on Candian TV hosted by FRed Davis called Front Page Challenge. The contestants had to guess the news story being represented rather than the line of work.
both were good quiz shows - forerunners of Jeopardy
I've actually seen, btw, an episode of the *original* incarnation of The Price is Right. Such a different show back then before Bob Barker!
remember the first "Wheel" shows and the ceramic dalmation?
Earliest WOF shows I remember is when the contestant's disembodied head would float around the showcase and choose overpriced prizes with their money and the rest would either be stashed or go on a gift certificate.
yes - and one of those prizes was a ceramic dalmation
back in a bit
Cerf is better known as the founder of Random House.
morning all
am reminded of "Truth or Consequences" - with the little box of drawers on a little pedestal, with drawers that spewed springy joke stuff (like the fake cans of nuts) when you picked the wrong one. Wasn't that Bob B. also?
Barker definitely hosted Truth or Consequences -- he mentioned it a lot on TPIR.
and for Wheel you had to spend the money you won, whether you wanted the dalmation or not, woof
hi again :)

Hello Saint Pen
*making a blessing motion*....
hello friends. It has been a DAY. Well into an adult beverage, attempting to babble
hi Trif...
hello penquis
saw my "new" classroom for the first time today - we go back to full in person on monday. So. Many. Desks.
is it a large room?
big, but not big enough.
seems mighty tiny today
middle and high schools in my town have been hybrid all year....half the kids go one day and the other half go two days...the other days they learn online....
challenging, despite the size
so I did some school stuff this morning, then drove an hour each way to pick up a big wooden spool for the goats, visited a nursery on the way home, got home, let the goats out for their daily, set in four more fence posts, fed goats, realized we had a sink clog, drove around for way too long trying to find drain cleaner stuff, and then got home to ake dinner.
a nice, full day! well done
we were hybrid as well, penquis, but folks complained, and now we are back.
busy day...
thanks DC. Good luck on your statehood, by the way
i went to the supermarket....more crowded than I liked....
I seem to remember that taxation without representation used to bother folks
i am done...
huzzah for penquis!
Thank you. This is the second try. We'll see what happens this time.
oooh, nerdy "name that proper noun, broadway edition;" Elphaba's true love....
Fiero?
ding ding ding!
seian, have you seen "Ma Rainey's black Bottom" on Netflix? Watched it last night, WOW!!!!
i've not.
ooh, sounds interesting
well i am heading out....goodnight, trif and seain....*waving to the lurkers*....
g'night penquis
i'm going to make some food, then go downstairs and find some more words. battery low, and i can plug in down ther.
sounds like a plan

nope, never mind. thank you for psychic clue
