Sorry I haven't caught up yet. But if not previously mentioned, the government is now offering a third round of COVID tests sent free to your door. This time, you can get 8 tests.

[singdaw]

I refuse.

[Ron Pulliam]

I refuse.

Me, too.

[singdaw]

Glad to hear of DR vixmom's guarded good news, and hoping for much more to come.

[singdaw]

I definitely do not have any cute outfits.

I my fridge are French's yellow and also Dijon. I like them each for different purposes. The dijon definitely in a vinaigrette.

Ordered! Thank you for the heads up, DR singdaw.

From George:

I'm still waiting for Jim Butcher's second book in the Cinder Spires series.  Book 1 came out in 2015.  It's now 2022 and still no book 2.

I like when I begin a series after the last book has been released.

I didn't hear about Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series until several years after it was finished.  It only had six books and definitely ended.

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.

I just saw that here:

[George]

I've now ordered mine.

[Laura]

Good afternoon.

[Laura]

I haven't used the first round of covid tests the government sent me.

I did use the N95 masks they sent.

[John G.]

I was just informed that I now have to go back to the office 10 days a month. That makes no sense. Eight maybe. But 10?

How long a drive is it to work?

It’s 12 miles. Takes 45 minutes at least in the morning, 90 minutes in the evening.

My iMac is down and needs serious help,  the upgrade screwed it up, I suspect, because a 9 year-old computer is too outdated to accept new upgrades. I'm trying to rebuild it from the hard drive. Damn.

Was it good?  I never got around to reading The Dresden Files, maybe because of the controversy surrounding them.

Thanks.  I think we have plenty for awhile.

[Jane]

Be sure to check the expiration date on the tests to see if you need new ones.

I couldn't get those masks on.

Groan, especially if you don't really need to be in the office.

I enjoyed both the Codex Alera series and the single Cinder Spires book.  They're also both in the fantasy realm and not sci-fi.

[George]

And what controversy??

[elmore3003]

I am back on my iMac! All is good.

[ChasSmith]

I am back on my iMac! All is good.

Good! Especially since Apple supposedly blocks upgrades that any given machine shouldn't be trying to run.

I don't know what the cutoff is going to be on my 2015 MacBook Pro, but I'm stubbornly still on Catalina and it stubbornly still tries to get me to upgrade to Monterey.

[ChasSmith]

I ordered the additional tests.

The one thing I totally missed out on was any free masks.

[ChasSmith]

I was just in Shop Rite picking up half a dozen things. As I perused the condiments aisle, I suddenly knew what would be waiting for DR Jrand71 in Room 101 in the event he should ever, um, be assigned there.

 

[ChasSmith]

DR Elmore, is that the new version of The Fantasticks we heard about maybe a year ago, I wonder? Or was that some additional one that Mr. Jones was announcing at the time? And who can keep track?

[ChasSmith]

To the best of my knowledge, I have no cute outfits.

At the very least, let us hope not.

[George]

I am back on my iMac! All is good.

Whew!

[George]

I never got the free masks.  My sister's boyfriend gave me some, so I didn't have to get them myself.
