Hi all! I've had a busy few days enjoying the warmer temps and sunshine, it sure raises the spirits! My granddaughters came over today and swam all afternoon in the small pond we have on our property. I figured that was a good way to keep any viruses at bay. They really had fun, and it was good exercise...although I can't believe they could withstand the water temps. I am much too wimpy to even stick a toe in!
Rainbow, do you know where I could go to see what is scheduled for Breakthru and how to sign up? I've never seen anything on sites I frequent. I really hope they don't cancel. Our governor announced yesterday that we are starting to open things up slowly in most areas, except the cities where there are the most cases. Out here in the boonies we have far fewer cases.
Katydid, how funny on your mask experience! I looked up instructions the other day, I figured I could hand sew a couple since I don't have a machine. But after looking at the instructions I bagged it, I had a feeling they would turn out strangely and then I wouldn't wear them. I have a hard enough time putting one on, I always feel weird in them even if everyone else has them on. Like I am buying into some kind of conspiracy....or I am part of a sci fi movie! It's just my brain working overtime, I think.
I have eaten Bison before, and I like it. My husband enjoys it a lot, he is not supposed to eat red meat any more due to his cholesterol levels but once in a great while he will have a bison burger when he is really craving red meat.
I have looked at the new Queen chat site, it seems all right and definitely no arguing. TUHI, I think you are referring to the Queenonline message board, it was offline for a long time around Christmas and into the new year. That is a nice site too, it doesn't quite get the traffic that the new Queen chat site seems to be getting, though. As far as moving over to Queen Chat, I have mixed feelings. I think this site will be around for a while, it's been on here for years and years, and if it stayed on through bots and endless trolls I would think it will keep on going with just a little traffic like us. One thing I don't like is that the creator of Queen chat keeps coming back to this board and continuing arguments and insults with trolls....they supposedly created the new site to get away from all that, yet they come here and keep up the insults. So I kind of hate to feed that other board when they continue to lurk and be rude on this one. That being said, it's not like I feel super strongly on it, if everyone wanted to move I would be fine with it.
One funny little thing to add...I made it onto Brian May's Instagram feed last weekend! He had an online launch party for the King's Daughters, they were all there and having a good time. Brian asked everyone to post a picture of themselves in a party hat and hashtag it...so I did. He ended up scrolling through the pictures on one of his IG posts, and my picture was one that came up. He also read off one of my questions and had the girls answer it. So I was all hyped up....I had a distant connection with Brian, woo hoo! ; )

Chevy....You are not fond of Canadians? ALL the people from Canada? WOW!!!!!
TUHI and Katydyd...I am not crafty either. The last time I used a sewing machine was in a Home Economics class around 1976 when I made a shirt (Which I was very proud of and actually used to wear) I did watch the video of making the face mask from the sock. That was clever.

Rainbow, Well not the ones I have met in the past anyway.I should've rephrased that.I bought a mask from a lady that makes them in my home town she is pretty good at it.I gott one that has owls on it.Have a nice week everyone.
Chevy...Good luck on your treatment this week.
Shoot, lots here to comment on, but no time right now. I meant to come post earlier but I got busy doing I don't know what.
I did want to share two pictures real quick though. Hmm.....can I post two at once? I don't think so.
Ok, the first one is Roger giving an interview. Look over his shoulder----a Freddie Mercury statue! I love that he has that.

Thanks Rainbow I'm nervous I get them in the same place where they give covid patients that are recovering blood transfusions.I hope they clean things well.I usually infuse over 6 hrs ×5 days.But I'm gonna try to do it 4 hrs ×5 days if I can tolerate it.
The second picture is also Roger centered. This is his daughter Rory She's a doctor now in London. I believe she treats COViD patients, but either way she's in the medical profession. I always liked the videos of Freddie sort of examining her when she was a baby. So sweet.
Good luck with the treatments this week Chevy. Sounds like a long time to be in the chair. Chemo was 6-8 hours, but only once every three weeks. I hope maybe someone stays with you so you have someone to talk to, or else you take things to keep yourself entertained.
Chevyman, Good luck with treatment, sending healing thoughts your way. I wasn’t aware.
Oh goodness Chevy, somehow I missed that you were getting treatments! I hope all goes well, I will say prayers that you stay safe and it is successful. Btw...I am half Canadian, my mom is from Toronto and all of my cousins and other relatives are there! We’re not so bad... : )
Oh my gosh, so much to respond to that I'm sure I'll miss most of what I wanted to say had I gotten to this earlier. I want to go back to the previous page to see what I missed but if I do, I'll lose everything here so here's what I remember:
First, I want to clarify that I wasn't suggesting we jump ship to that new site. I do like a lot of the features there, but though I did join, I have not posted so far. I figure I can play in both playgrounds for now. I like the intimacy on this thread and would hate to lose that.
Rainbow, did you say you have venison in your freezer? Where do you get it? Venison is available in the store where I grocery shop but I've only ever gotten it from friends who hunt. I do like it, especially venison chili. Speaking of shopping, I just placed another order with Amazon Fresh. I'm not quite ready to venture out to the grocery store just yet. But...……..Amazon Fresh can be a problem. For example, apparently I thought I needed gelato. I do NOT need gelato. Nor frozen mango bars or dark chocolate with orange peel. I almost forgot to get the milk I actually need. In the grocery store I just sail right by those dangerous sections.
MHZ, do you get to Canada often? As a teen, we lived maybe 30 minutes from Niagra Falls. Every single time an out-of-state relative or friend visited, we were off to the Falls,Canadian side. After a while I thought if I saw even one more bit of it's glory I'd think of going over in a barrel myself. Actually though, the Canadian side is quite impressive and we took the boys there for a vacation once. It brought a new appreciation of the Falls to me. As a child my family did some camping in Canada and also the states, but I remember the Canadian trip more than any other. It came complete with bears, a tame chipmunk by the cabin, and wolves howling in the distance at night. We went to the Expo in Montreal and I unfortunately once donated to the Canadian casinos just across from Detroit. It's a great country!
Shoot, I know there was more I wanted to comment on , but that's all my gelato-deprived brain can remember right now.

Thanks for the PMs this morning!
Quick clarification:
My chemo was back in late 2015/2016. It's very much in my rear view mirror now. I was trying to express an understanding of what it's like to sit for hours for an infusion, but I worded it poorly. I also forget that just because I've been here forever doesn't mean you know my history. : )
So...……………..pulling out my soapbox for just a second and then I'm done:
GET THOSE MAMMOGRAMS!!
Soapbox gone, and thanks again for the concern.
