MHZ, no apologies needed it’s just opinions your good and your input I always enjoy reading as well as all the others.
New study suggests coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan may have started in August:

One US politician tested postive for coronovirus antibodies, but the last time he was sick was in November (as far I remember).

Katyd, I agree Rudi takes to long to get to the point, he’s good at casting the fishing line out, then reeling in, then casting out again. I do look forward to the book, but I don’t care for the idea that the preorder is made without a final price on the book. Thor and Lee had a fixed price on the preorder. However I am sure Rudi’s book is going to be competitively priced with similar books, so not to concerned.
Amidds, a random page from a very old yellowed out page from a dictionary at the letter “M” is the background of the photo. But the artist pulled a page from the words that begin in “Ma” rather than “Me” so the definition of Mercury would be on the page his photo was superimposed on. Artist messed up here.

Steven, I meant to reply to your earlier post about conversational English. You are, of course, correct about the difference between taking the time to write in English, and having a spontaneous conversation. When I was still teaching, I had many ELL (English Language Learners) in my class. Often they started with no English at all. I was working with 7-8 year olds so they were very receptive and actually learned the language fairly quickly. They spent part of the day with English tutors, and the rest in the classroom. I would say close to 40% of the children in the school were ELL students. They often understood spoken English before they were willing to risk actually speaking. It was a great joy to watch their progress. One issue I had is that I speak very quickly and that might have made it harder for them to understand. I had to constantly remind myself to slow down. Do you come across many native English speakers in your city? If I'm remembering where you said you lived, don't you have a large university there? I'm wondering if you could possibly connect with some people there.
Katy, never got your PM. Don't know if it's this site or me as I am still having problems opening the attachments on here. I will continue to work on it lol.
MHZ, lucky you to be in Florida! I am seriously considering going to visit my kids cause I am feeling stir crazy. Of course, it's hot as hell down there now and not everything is open but, I'd like to be out in the sunshine and relaxing (and I've only been back in the office a couple of wks lol!)
Rainbow, not too familiar with Norwegian but, since just my daughter and I are going to Paris, I will be flying to Orlando to travel with her so that's where Norwegian kicks in. It was actually $300 cheaper to go from Orlando than Chicago which more than pays for my flights to/from FL!
We're just keeping our fingers crossed that we can go and things will be open at the time! I know Versailles has opened up, keeping my fingers crossed for the Louvre. I have a nephew there so he will keep up entertained too. Of course, we have that side trip to Montreux at the time too. Even though our main reason in going there has been cancelled, we will still see the FM statue and maybe see the studio. Of course, I have warned my daughter that we will be returning to celebrate FM's bday there someday when things are back to normal :)
Lspg03, haha, love the intention! I assumed they would put it on a relevant page but I couldn't read anything. Even though they messed up, it's still pretty awesome!
Stevendabudgie, I have heard a lot about that theory of the virus being here earlier than we thought and that many people may have had it and not known. I had traveled to FL in Nov and Dec. Both times I got sick and assumed I picked something up on the plane. My Dec illness was so bad that I had pretty bad coughing and a fever which I passed on to my son-in-law down there. Took a while to get over all the symptoms. Makes me wonder if I had a light case of it then and makes me want to get the antibody test to check. I don't usually get sick and can't remember the last time I got that bad so I wouldn't be surprised!!!
Re: the book discussion. I honestly don't think any of these people are trying to "cash in" especially not Thor and Lee. That being said, I couldn't care less if that's what anyone's intention is. People have a right to make money and as long as their not hurting anyone, go for it!! However, if I thought that was their motivation, I might not buy it lol! There's always gonna be people out there that have nothing better to do than criticize someone for their actions without knowing their actual thoughts/intentions. As long as these books are well done and not "tell-alls" or full of lies like the Jones book, I'm more than happy to have them!

Amidds, it is really hot in Florida right now...so be careful what you wish for, lol! We are getting the daily afternoon rains too. But it is still lovely and relaxing. I am ready for my husband to find something to do though....he is a restless soul and doesn’t do well sitting still for long. Which means he is constantly either doing something that requires my input....or planning to do something, which requires my input! I am used to being on my own all day so I have had to adapt. I did finally finish my book by Cynthia Lennon though, I thoroughly enjoyed it. She is really a lovely person, very sweet and really doesn’t have much of anything bad to say about John and even Yoko, even though they treated her pretty horribly. She strikes me as a rather naive and nice, too nice to stand up for herself in most situations, which was probably her main problem.
I am very jealous of your trip to France and Switzerland Amidds....I really hope I can get to Montreux myself one day. I have been to the Louvre, but I am not much of an art person so I was not a good one to appreciate it. They told me when I went in that you couldn’t see it all in one day....but by golly I managed to do it!

Amidds, you didn't miss much with my PMs. I actually sent them in three parts because QZ will cut off a PM if it is too long. It generally takes me three or four tries to get in to the site and I find that frustrating. I'll shamelessly plug the queenchat site for the ease of their PMs!
I'd like to get the antibody test too, though they say it isn't reliable. I was sick for about two weeks in late February. Terrible cough, low-grade fever, chills and exhaustion beyond anything I'd experienced before. I even skipped my last Broadway show, Les Miz, because the thought of going to the theater and sitting for a whole show was simply beyond me. It's not uncommon for me to get sinus infections but this was totally different from anything I'd ever experienced.
My former in-laws lived in Florida and I used to dread the visits down to see them. I am not fond of the heat at all and it was relentless. My son and his family were just there visiting my DIL's mother and they spent some of the time in enclosed bathrooms due to tornado warnings as a result of Cristobal. I hope we don't have a rough hurricane season. It's absolutely the last thing we need.
Amidds, even though the birthday party for Freddie has been canceled this year I still envy your trip to Montreux. I'd love to see the statue and to have the studio experience. I want to hear all about it upon your return!

MHZ, I'm sure it's very hot! When I go down this time of year, we usually just spend time at the pool or beach and take it easy. I'm a lot like your husband where I can't sit still but, the heat this time of year usually zaps me so I don't mind being lazy!! I would be interested to hear how you did the Louvre in one day! When my daughter and SIL went last year, they picked just a few rooms and concentrated on those. It was hard because my daughter is very artistic and my SIL is not so, settling on stuff they were both interested in was difficult I guess.
Katy, maybe it's QZ then and not me. I won't worry much about it, the name had just tickled the memory banks and I was curious what I forgot this time lol!
I haven't looked into getting the antibody test around here yet, still trying to limit going out too much as I really worry about bringing it to my mom. If I feel brave enough to go to Fl before our big trip, I'll see if my daughter can do a test - I really feel as if it's going to make a difference when a vaccine comes out. It may be like Shingles where, if you have had it, no point in getting the vaccine. Plus, I have a major sensitivity to eggs which is how they grow the vaccines so I can't even get flu shots or I'm deathly ill for days. So, if I've had it and a vaccine won't help, less for me to worry about!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for Paris/Montreux!!! I too, am still looking forward to it even though the bday party was cancelled and I still have small hopes that things will clear up and maybe SOMETHING will happen at the time-boat trip with Peter perhaps? LOL - will def let you guys know how it went and post pics of the statue and studio if we can get in along with anything else FM related!!! Not that pics aren't all over online for that stuff.....

Amidds, I DO think it is the QZ site, not our computers.
I definitely want to see pictures of anything you see in Montreux. Doesn't matter if I've seen tons of similar pics, this will be someone I know sharing the trip!

Katydyd, awesome! But, be ready, I am the picture Queen! One thing I really want to do is leave a message on the wall outside of the studio - has anyone seen that? It's like a message board to Freddie and I love it! I know it's not the same BUT if anyone wants me to add their name and take a pic, let me know. Do I sound weird lol? I just think it would be fun to see our names up there in a special location. Gosh, all these little things that may not happen if the trip gets cancelled :(
Hate to bring up all the bad going on but, everyone doing OK? Don't know if any of you live in any of the areas hit by riots but I think of you all when something happens and hope everyone is staying safe!!

Yesterday we went to the beach and had a great day, my husband managed to sit still for quite a while! I got some reading done and we went for walks, too. It was one of the only days where we didn’t get the afternoon showers, which helped. I don’t mind hot weather at all, I am cold all the time so it’s nice when I can walk around and be warm for once.
As for the Louvre, I basically hustled through all the areas and rooms, I didn’t stop much to take it all in. I am not good at appreciating art, I look at stuff and think, ok...that’s nice and then move on. I did stop and admire the Mona Lisa, and a few other big name pieces. I am a fast walker too, which helped!
Amidds, if you get to Montreux and can put our names outside the studio I would love it! I love looking at the pictures from anywhere related to Freddie and Queen, so feel free to post them all. In fact, if they’d had a Freddie room at the Louvre I probably would have spent all day there, lol!

Happy belated birthday MHZ
Amidds - looking forward to seeing some of your trip pics if you are willing to share. Really excited for you.
You all have probably seen this before, but just in case

Thinking about you all .. sorry I have been MIA.

JB, not sure what your link is supposed to share! When I click on it, I'm seeing birthday wishes for a friend of mine on FB. When I tried again, I got a post about two local missing dogs. Somehow I don't think that's what you were aiming for.
Hi Katy. Haha. Spot on. Definitely not what I was going for. See if this one works. It’s the clip of Freddie stopping the concert to calm the crowd where they were fighting.
