WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT TRIVIA AND CHAT, MAY 7, 2021
An oldie from the late comedian Alan King
Penitent Parrot
A young man named Alan received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. Alan tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to ‘clean up’ the bird’s vocabulary.
Finally, Alan was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. Alan shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and
even more rude. Alan, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he’d hurt the parrot, Alan quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Alan’s outstretched arms and said “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour.”
Alan was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a
dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird spoke-up, very
softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”
Hope you are all ready for some fun. For the newcomers, the questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade. Questions begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm EST. depending upon your computer clock. There are six questions during the game. The last question is posted between 10:30 pm and 10:35 pm EST. Again, depending upon your computer clock. Each question lasts approximately 30 minutes, so you will need to come up with the correct response within that time frame. If you answer incorrectly, you will see a red “OOPS.” The incorrect response will not count against you unless the time is up. Each correct answer is worth 200 tickets to use in the Rewards Store against the Featured or Current Sweepstakes. So, before you tear your hair out, before you give up, just return to this thread where one or more of us will be able to help. Also, join us in light conversation, ideas or whatever and LET THE FUN BEGIN…. 🙂💖

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers here! Every child is different and they did not come with a manual on how to raise them. Mothers jobs are so difficult but so rewarding. Enjoy “your” day”” Nite all, see you next week!

Every one enjoy a glass of Ice Tea. 😎

I have been on an ice tea kick all week, which is unusual for me–but nothing as elegant or fancy as that looks! 😀

Rosatowwen, Hi there, how are things on the other side of the Nation?
-
Sheba, delicious. Just before my shower.
-
A cool wind is blowing on the coast which keeps us in the mid 60’s though things are starting to heat up both in temperature and socially. California is definitely going towards normal with so many being vaccinated here. My car is broken and I am still waiting to get my vaccine, so I am still homebound–and ok with that. 😀 How are things with you?
-
Rosatowwen, I already got vaccinated with J&J about one month ago. Its been very hot here, mid nineties and so humid it hits you in the face as you open the door. Lots of sunshine but no rain. We are missing out on the rainy season this year.
-
Sad to see that you guys are suffering from lack of rain over there as well.

-
Sheba, those are lovely pics, I hope you are having the start of a great weekend. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

In Texas they are testing vaccine on very young child:
At just 16 months old, he has had little opportunity to socialize with anyone outside of his nuclear family. But that could soon change for Nathan, the first child in a Pfizer vaccine study run by Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital. The study will evaluate the COVID-19 vaccine in children under 2..-
Hi Sanibel. In my opinion, giving any child the vaccine is insane. They do not know the long term effects. Children are not as likely to get the virus, and if they do, they fair much better than adults. There are medications they can administer to treat them if they should contract the virus.
-
Gabbie, you bring up a very good point. Last year at this time I was just getting over the virus. My question then as it is today, does getting the virus make you immune forever or just a few months. The same holds true for the vaccine. I have had the first shot and tomorrow is the second. Moderna thinks that their vaccine is good for only six months and they are working on the booster which may be mixed with the flu. Then the next question. Is Covid a form of the flu? If that’s the case, I’ve been told that when you catch the flu, you have immunity for life with that particular strain. Therefore, for that strain, vaccination is not necessary. Here we go again. In 🔴🔵🟠🟡🟢
-
Oodiebom, I have physicians in my family. When I ask that question they say that the virus is mutating into different strains. I don’t feel they really know the answer except it does give you some immunity.

why am I getting the same trivia ,about baseball for weeks???

Hi wilmarocks and welcome to Trivia and our Friday night chat. I will try to answer your question as best as I can. Adobe did away with Flash which was the platform the Arcade games played on. In December Adobe took Flash down because it was causing or could cause a virus to those who used it. Of course, my question at the time was why not repair it. There was no real answer. Anyway, because there is no Flash, the Tech team has been using other means for our games to run. They are having problems which I thought meant there were no staff to repair or give us the games. I thought the Arcade Team as well as the Technical Unit were working from home because of the pandemic. Well, that was true until recently. There are other platforms that they are trying. I was told that there will be new games coming on or about June 21st. Some games will come down permanently and others will remain. I do not know the answer of what games will stay and which ones will be replaced. Like you, I have to wait for an answer. There are many alternatives that the Tech Unit is trying. And, I surmise, this is behind the scenes and may be the reason why so many games are not working as they should. I know it is difficult to wait until June, but, I for one, will give it a try. I have no choice. So, in the meantime I have instituted the chat to coincide with Trivia. I hope you will join us for light conversation, some jokes and a get together. This will continue even when Trivia returns or not.
