FRIDAY NIGHT TRIVIA, JOKES, GIFS, & CONVERSATION, MAY 14, 2011

Rosa, things are looking up here as well. However, will not be giving up our masks anytime soon, especially when out and about.

Oodiebom, we too will keep wearing our masks. We still do not feel comfortable dining in restaurants either. We do order curbside for take out. Not the same as dining in but there are some days when I just don’t feel like cooking! LOL!

Gabbie, you are ahead of us on this one. The last time hubby and I ate out was the day we returned from our cruise. That morning we were supposed to have breakfast in our cabin, but they forgot us. It was too late to go to the Lido Deck so we thought we would grab a bite once we were on the road. But, there was nothing. Just a long road. By the time we reached the Interstate we decided it was just another couple of hours to the front door, so we kept on going. Our only stop was to gas up. Now, since then, both of us have been too frightened to go anywhere. The only thing we do is purchase groceries. Haven’t been to the beach or a retail store. Been buying things on line. Haven’t even set foot into Homegoods or the Outlet stores.

Oodiebom, sounds like you did not have a good cruise. I too remember years ago when one of my sons got sick when we were traveling. All we wanted to do was get home. We were hours from being there and just kept driving. Not a good trip so I can somewhat relate. We do go grocery shopping because I like to see what we are purchasing. I order on line from retail stores and from HSN (mainly Andrew Lessman products) . I think my mailman hates me! I keep Purell and Lysol wipes with me all the time. I wipe the carts and frozen/refrigerator handles with the Lysol wipes and hands with the Purell wipes when back in the car. They say that two weeks after the 2nd shot you should be immune to the virus. Hubby just had a new grill delivered and I am looking forward to summer and cookouts with family and friends! Stay safe my friend, I appreciate that you open this thread every Friday. Have a good week!

Hi Rosa, glad to hear it is getting better in California! Are the kids back in school yet?

Some are as I see them coming back in the afternoons in our neighborhood. However I don’t see or hear anything from the school in back of my house–a middle school. In between the school and my fence is a little league with about 4 diamonds and they are out there in full force. They are so close that I have to put up tarps to cover my windows so they don’t get broken by home runs. I end up with dozens of hardballs in my yard every year and so do my neighbors. I use tarps because the balls make holes in the blinds and the wind will shred my blinds overnight when we get the Santa Anas.

Religious and private schools here have been open since last August. Public schools opened up in February here. I heard that in California they still were not open. How sad for the kids! In my town, they turned all the baseball diamonds into soccer fields. My sons always played baseball. My backyard was the place for them and their friends to practice so I appreciate what you have to do to protect your windows! It was good though, I knew where they were. Some of them still come over (they are in their 50’s now) to tell us of all the good times they had here!

Hi Rosatowwen, here too. Things are getting back to somewhat normal. But I am not giving up my mask just quite yet.

Hello, to you, and neither am I and my brother says the same. A few months down the road will change everything so much and we will be vaccinated by then.

@gabbie608,

Yes, I did get the second shot along with hubby. My arm started to ache where the needle went in. It came to a crescendo in the middle of the night and then had another covid experience on Sunday. By Monday morning I was fine. Hubby had a reaction to the first one. Nothing on the second. Feels good to have that over and done with.

Sorry to hear about your reactions, though they seem to have passed rather quickly. Nothing seems as scary as getting Covid and ending up on a respirator in the hospital. Thank goodness that didn’t happen to you last year when you came down with it on the cruise.

I definitely do not want that virus again, EVER….I was really scared prior to the cruise and wanted to cancel, but didn’t take the insurance. This time, not so sure if I will pass on the insurance part. And, count myself lucky as well as having a TV in the room where you were able to watch MSNBC as well as CNN. Those two channels told me what to expect and what to do. Now I’m able to tell others what I learned.

So glad you were got the 2nd shot! Gives a feeling of being somewhat protected from Covid. At least we can get back to something that resembles “normal”!

The only thing that really concerns me at the moment is the offshoots. Example India and Great Britain. This one they expect to become Global. The strain seems to be more potent and has the ability to infect many. Both Moderna and Pfizer are working on this and it seems it will be applied to the booster when ready.

@oodiebom and all trivia players have some Ice Tea. 😎

Oh, that looks sooooo delish. Thanks Shebe.

That sounds wonderful. I’ve been chilled all day. It’s 54 here with 67% humidity.

Good Evening Sanibel. Glad I could send some warmth your way.

Your oldies are wonderful and so many haven’t seen them anyway. Nothing wrong with repeats of oldies-but-goodies! 👍 😊

I don’t remember this one! Hope you are doing a little better this week.

I am doing about the same my friend How are u doing?

I’m OK I guess, just tired. I wish your eyes would improve the or at the very least stop deteriorating.

Velvet, just saw your post. I wish the same to FBN.

Please keep him in your prayers.

To OODIE & Sheba…

@fbn135,

I love it and I have never seen it. Looking good fbn135. 🌹

fbn, it’s cute and a newbie to me.

Sheba, that is so pretty!

Good evening Gabbie. Welcome to the Friday night saga—-game or no game, that is the question.

@oodiebom,

Thanks for the respect. 😎

“He gets no respect”……..Thanks for the gif.

Love Rodney! I guess no game again tonight! So frustrating!

Hi diablo. I do not think we are the only ones waiting in the wings for this game to reappear. I surmise more patience is needed.
